Starting point is 00:00:02 Welcome to the Masha Tell me whether I'm wrong or right Easter west up or down side to side I sit to stand and fall to fly Of all of my impulsive plans Poppin locking salsa dances on demand I follow leading off the map But stop the chatter scream happily
Starting point is 00:00:17 Welcome to the Masha Welcome to the MASH up Welcome to the MASH up Welcome to the MASH up Wrong button It's just me bob in my head in the background Like I assume everybody else is. Now, I'm messing the two's rant.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Do you want to rant? You want to rant? Yeah, I want to rant. I hate this time of year because you can feel the leaves are changing and the days are getting shorter and it's getting colder. And all of the smart mosquitoes have been killed and all the little wily bastards that have so far managed to elude you are the only ones left. And they're basically just flies with big fucking noses. And they're pretty hard to kill. All right.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Here's the other thing. Have you ever noticed that every single major organized religion is just a cover-up for male pattern baldness? It can't be just me that thinks this stuff. All right. Buddhist monks, what do they do? They shave their heads, presumably so that they can, so that the guys who have no hair can hide amongst everybody else and nobody knows. Hell, even go back to like the friars back in the day, like friar tuck, what did they do? They just cut the whole top around.
Starting point is 00:01:40 So if you had that big empty circle in the back, nobody would notice. Jewish people, the yarmica, it's perfectly designed and positioned to also cover that spot on the top. Sikhs, turbans, if you have no hair, you cannot tell the difference between that and somebody who has full, luscious locks like these. all right and then catholics worst of all the bigger your hat the more important you are i don't know why but every single major religion is just a cover up for the fact that some important guys at the top are losing all their hair well i'm in a good mood as people could tell by dancing in the background okay man the old the old mashup tune um kevin david Kevin is deeply offended by the opening rant.
Starting point is 00:02:36 I like the wily mosquitoes myself. That had me chuckling in the background. How's everybody doing today? Mashup 174 coming in hot today. Man, we got a full week here.

Starting point is 00:05:00 Okay. let's start with Cout six and a half. This is, this is, I tell you what, this is going to take some time, okay? First, okay, I'm just going to rattle off the first story, too, as you hop in whenever you feel. The Pentictic man whom, I don't know, are you.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Well, I just, are you humming up? Do you already want to hop in? I haven't even... Just the state of things in this country. Like, jump in whenever I want to. I don't want to have to jump in for any of this. I don't want to be fucking talking about it. Well, the Pentictic man who murdered his Sanik Friends tenant in September
Starting point is 00:05:31 2021 has been found not criminally guilty how we start there. Scott Matheson was on a sleepless eight-day meth bender an active schizophrenic psychosis when he brutally beat up a man he just met determined a BC Supreme Court justice so there's that There's not criminally responsible
Starting point is 00:05:48 So that's I mean that's all you got to do Just get high on meth for eight straight days And that's it Welling girl, three-year-old, sexually assaulted in her home barely talking after ordeal. Niagara Regional Police have said a man broke into a residence in Eastern Wellen sometime after 10 p.m. Saturday and sexually assaulted a young girl while the family slept. Police were called just before 9 a.m. Sunday and fell in the front door forced open. Further observation confirmed the involved child was suffering from serious injuries prompting an immediate criminal investigation. Daniel Seneca 25 is facing numerous charges,
Starting point is 00:06:27 including aggravated sexual assault of a minor, choking, breaking, and entering, and sexual interference. Just so we're clear, though, when we're discussing this Daniel Seneca person, we need to make sure that we respect the pronouns, which are she, her. Daniel Seneca raped this toddler, and she raped the toddler. with her penis. Please continue.

Starting point is 00:07:35 Alleged? We're going to do this again. Everybody could see the picture. I, what more do you want me to put in here? I'm waiting for a two's rant, honestly. I'm disgusting.
Starting point is 00:07:50 There's no twos rant about this. There's no twos rant about this shit this week. It's insane. Let's just, let's rapid fire off. all of the news this week in break and enters and rapes and murders and arsons. On the screen, though, that's she heard, Daniel Seneca right there. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:08:13 All right. And then two dead including suspect and multiple injuries after stabbing incident in Manitoba. Two people are dead, including the suspect. And multiple people are injured after a mass stabbing incident in Hollow Water First Nations. Two hours northeast of Winnipeg. RCMP say they received a report before 4 a.m. of an assault and community officers responded to and found multiple people suffering from stab wounds. Eight community members ranging from 18 to 60 were injured.
Starting point is 00:08:43 An 18-year-old woman died from her injuries. 26-year-old Tyrone Simard took off in a stolen vehicle after the stabbings. And just before 7 a.m. The suspect was involved with the crash for the police vehicle on Provincial Road 304. The suspect died in the collision while the female officer involved. was taking a hospital with critical but non-life-threatening injuries and then it went on to say RCMP
Starting point is 00:09:04 say the suspect was known to police before Thursday's incident. You got multiple charges laid in Markham, home invasion and shooting. Let's just cover this here. You just said, rattle them off and now you're good. You didn't rattle and now I'm not going to rattle so don't be so rattled. I just want to point out
Starting point is 00:09:20 that the one female officer involved got in a car crash. Please continue. Multiple charges laid Markham home invasion, shooting and kidnapping. Multiple suspects breaking into a residence once inside the suspects indicated to the family that another one of their family members have been kidnapped by the other suspects during the incident. A 54-year-old man was shot.
Starting point is 00:09:43 A 12-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder after a man was shot in Markham last month. He is facing charges of attempted murder, discharged firearm with intent and possession of property obtained by crime and others. where do you want me to go here I'm just on Richmond Hill is the next one I think yeah a fatal York Regional Police Homicide Unit are appealing for witnesses
Starting point is 00:10:06 after Richmond Hill arson left one person dead in foreign critical condition do you want to show the video of the police chief Jim McSweene oh yeah this is great this is just fucking wonderful and make his own statement
Starting point is 00:10:23 and his own mind up about that what I would say is as our police service will follow the laws as they're written. The laws change will change with the laws. But as it stands, we know the best defense for most people.
Starting point is 00:10:38 More ums than a true. As you've just heard, a number of safety recommendations. You're talking over. Sorry, that was my bad. That was my bad. This is really important. But as it stands, we know the best
Starting point is 00:10:52 defense for most people is to comply, as you've just heard, a number of safety recommendations. That's, yeah. The best defense is to comply. Like in the last, in the last 10 days, we've had, we've had the guy allegedly have someone break into his house and then fight him off with a kitchen knife. Yep.
Starting point is 00:11:16 We've had a three-year-old. A three-year-old sexually assaulted. that's that doesn't even do it justice i know i know yeah yeah the three year old how did that go for him yeah comply here's the thing all right so you brought up that that guy with their kitchen knife and now he's facing charges the only way that all this fucking shit is going to go away as far as home defense goes is if he goes into that because you know like we had that article with Tristan Hopper talking about how basically your life's on hold for years. You've got six figures worth of legal bills and then at the end you'll get acquitted because it's the process that's the punishment.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Go in there. Don't spend a dollar. You go in there. Say your honor. Ladies and gentlemen of the court, this is fucking retarded. I will not be engaging with any of you. Let me know if and when I'm going. going to jail.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And then you sit down and you open a book and you start reading it. And you just let them, just, they can do their thing. And that's it. That's the only way that this entire process gets stopped on that end. And let's be honest, the only way it's going to get stopped on this end, unless something unforeseen happens,
Starting point is 00:12:47 is if there's more guys with kitchen knives attacking the guys with the crossbows. We didn't, here's some honorable mentions from the week. Repeat offender attacked a transit police officer, two men facing firearm, an extortion charge following daytime shooting, and 80 shots fired in the Hamilton shootout. So that's just this week. I was saying, the only thing outside of this week is when we recap the knife and the crossbow guy. That's correct. This is this week.
Starting point is 00:13:18 This is this week. And we have, where did it go? Sean Frazier Liberal MP Minister of Safety now I want to say or some stupid fucking thing what's his Minister of Justice and Attorney
Starting point is 00:13:35 General of Canada When Pollyev was talking Like at the start of this week about how this shit has gotten out of hand He said this isn't the Wild West It's Canada Canadians deserve real solutions That make us feel safer
Starting point is 00:13:48 Not slogans that inspire fear and chaos for Pierre's political survival that has aged about as well as Miley Cyrus. I was saying a twos before we started today that we've been covering the coup six and a half now for I don't even know. Is it a year now,
Starting point is 00:14:11 twos? It's got to be close somewhere in that ballpark. And we've been just pointing out how messed up the judicial system is, right? And how, like, heinous crimes are just not slowing down. They're picking up and up and up. And,
Starting point is 00:14:27 And that the punishments doled out for those pale insignificance to those that the coots guys got. And that Tamerlitch and Chris Barber are looking down the barrel of too. And it's just, it's picking up speed. Like the amount of stories coming on is just, it's horrific, man. It just sucks, you know, it just sucks. Here's, I just wanted to show this too. Here's the home invasion. There's the two suspects there.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I think it's important. Every time they're going to release what these people, people look like. You know, we showed the she, her, uh, dude. And now here's the, the Markham home invasion guys. Anyways, we got a Greta Thunberg haircut. Oh, anyways. Okay. Canada must reinvent its economy like it did in 1945. Finance minister says the time has come for Canada and reinvent its economy like it did in 1945. Francois Philippe campaign said on Thursday, I often make an analogy between 2025 and 1945. In 1945, Canada had to reinvent itself, and I think this is one of those moments.
Starting point is 00:15:33 We have done it before. Look at 1945. Canada turned completely to be this great industrial nation. We're going to build on that. We're going to look at new technology such as AI, he said. The federal government has been growing spending as a whole at over 7% a year on average for over a decade. That's twice the rate of the growth of the economy on average. It's not sustainable situation.
Starting point is 00:15:53 We need to reign in spending, Carney, well, Carney's the second one. Champagne's the first two quotes. It's insane. You know what? If you want to compare it to 1945, if you want to compare Canada to 1945, you need to use the word Hiroshima.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Everything we've been doing has been asked backwards for at least the past decade, at least. You want to reinvent the economy? Here's what you do. You slash the fuck out of the public sector. You get rid of union protectionism. You get rid of the dairy cartel.
Starting point is 00:16:29 You get rid of the nicotine pouch cartel, the telecommunications cartel, the grocery cartel, the fucking media cartel. Maybe just no more cartels. There you could reinvent the economy. Maybe you just make it so that people who want to work can work. It's a novel idea, too,s. I don't know. Quit fucking up. How about that?
Starting point is 00:16:56 Just every time you think you need to jump in and do something, know that you're going to make it worse. You are going to make it worse. So do as little as possible. Isn't it phenomenal that these guys haven't had to sit in parliament for like eight fucking months? You haven't had to show up to your job for eight months. And it's still getting this much worse.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Carney says no discrapping temporary foreign workers program, but program must change. Old rules used to state that if the local unemployment rate was over 6%, you couldn't get a labor market impact assessment to bring in foreign workers. The liberals removed that requirement in 2022, and now with unemployment at 6.9% nationally, 7.8 in Alberta, 7.9 in Ontario, the government is still allowing temporary foreign workers to come in. the changes the liberals introduced in April 22 also allowed companies to raise a percentage of foreign workers they were using to increase from 10% to 20% in some cases, 30% of their workforce. In the first half of this year alone, the TIFW program has imported 74% more low-skilled labor
Starting point is 00:18:06 than in all of 2015. When I talk to businesses around the country, their number one issue is, this is Carney, their number one issue is tariffs and their number two issues access to temporary foreign workers, told reporters. It's getting a little bit fucking much. It's getting a little bit too much. And when I say that, I mean it's completely gone off the rails. Nobody could fairly and objectively look at this and say that it's a good thing.
Starting point is 00:18:35 The crazy part is that all these jobs are listed as like $36 to $40 an hour. You want to go work at Dairy Queen, $36 to $40 an hour. Edo, the Japanese fast food restaurant, 36 and change an hour. Pretty much anybody, especially somebody who's unemployed, would take a $70,000 a year job working 40 hours a week at fast food. It's pretty crazy. That's not a good job. That's not a McJob.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Think about it. Like the median income in this country is what? Maybe in the 50s? Maybe in the 60s. When you first started working, do you remember what your wage was? When you got paid per hour? I was working for, so I worked, my parents had a company and I worked for them for 250 an hour when I was basically little more than a toddler.
Starting point is 00:19:30 But my first official job was six and change. Well, actually, sorry, that's not true. Seven on the nose when I was working at the Willows. and then I was stocking shelves and it was like in the high sixes but I got that job a few months later but you got subsequent raises after that pretty sure my first official job was sandpiper
Starting point is 00:19:57 being a swamper in the oil field and I got 10 bucks an hour and I was over the moon oh yeah absolutely like now it's like $36 well I remember when I first moved to Lloyd so I started working for a rig company there and they're like, yeah, so we'll have you just working in the shop, clean up, help somebody out if they need it, whatever else.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Just stay busy. And the shop work is only $12 an hour. But you'll get more, you know, once you actually start working on a rig. And I was like, you're going to pay me $12 an hour to work in the shop? And they're like, yeah. And I said, well, how many hours can you work? And they said as many as you want. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:20:41 Sign me up. Well, 36. That's, yeah. Do you want to show the dog whistle of racism video? Yeah. Believe it or not, our mainstream media are a bunch of buffoons. I'd be quite frank and honest. We are the conservative party and Pierre Paulyev and MP Rampel are treading a very dangerous line of what I'm going to call a dog whistle of racism. because if you want to have a conversation about the fact that we have an issue with immigration, we do, not because they're immigrants and they're coming in and taking away.
Starting point is 00:21:18 It's because our society and our system hasn't kept up. We don't have enough housing. We don't have enough resource put in place to help everybody. So let's have that conversation. But to say it's foreign workers that are taking away jobs from Canadians and the solution is youth to me is simplistic. It's like. They are taking jobs away from youth.
Starting point is 00:21:41 And the left doesn't ever think about ripple effects. They don't ever think about long-term consequences. And it's one of the many things that differentiates them as economic and intellectual buffoons. Because here's the thing is we've got an entire generation of young people that can't get fucking jobs, which is the first rung on the ladder. You get a job as you get a job working in the back shop or you get a job swamping or you get a job swamping. whatever. And it just teaches you to show up on time, take a little bit of direction, show a little bit of initiative. It kind of builds these habits. And then you take that and you move into something that's a little bit more lucrative and a little bit more lucrative.
Starting point is 00:22:26 But if you can't get on the first rung on that ladder, you cannot ascend that ladder. And so five or ten years from now, we are going to have a whole bunch of working age men and women with no fucking skills required to be successful in any industry. Like, I get the fact that the temporary foreign worker program is wreaking havoc on the economy and that you've got something that the UN is calling out Canada and saying it's basically just slavery with extra steps. Like, literally the UN is calling out Canada for the temporary foreign worker program and how it's just modern slavery.
Starting point is 00:23:07 and we all love the UN but five or ten years down the road from now the effects that are going on the effects that are going to be caused by what's happening today are going to be very widespread and very profound and in no way good uh Pierre Poulyev calls on liberals
Starting point is 00:23:31 to scrap the temporary foreign worker program he's quoted the liberals have to answer why is it that they're shutting out our youth, our own youth out of jobs and replacing them with low wage temporary foreign workers from poor countries who are ultimately being exploited. We want Canadian workers to have Canadian jobs. You want to bring back high wages. Globe and Mail wrote a story on Pierre's comments, basically say Mr. Pulley of statement said that 105,000 new temporary foreign workers are coming in the first half of 2025 when the government had set a target of 82,000 new arrivals, but 105,000
Starting point is 00:24:07 figure included work permits, renewals. I just, oh, sorry, go ahead. Immigration refugees, citizenship, Canada reported there was 33,722 new arrivals. I just want to point out the headline. There is no flood of newcomers anymore, Mr. Polyev. This is the same argument they used during the lockdowns. Well, they said, well, you can't rule if they're unconstitutional or not because they're not happening anymore.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Are we going to charge any of those people we just spent 20 minutes talking about? Because they're not currently engaging in the illegal activity. I mean, some of them are out on bail, so maybe they are right now. But if and when they get their day in court, they're going to say, Your Honor, I am not currently sodomizing a toddler. I should not go to jail for this. You have the old tweet that surfaced from Trudeau back from 2014 saying temporary foreign worker program lowers Canadian. wages and exploits vulnerable people.
Starting point is 00:25:09 It needs to be fixed. Yeah. And isn't it funny when old tweets like that come back and bite them in the ass? Like my favorite one from him is that one where he's like, it's hard to take a government seriously when every week there's a new scandal. And that was basically the defining
Starting point is 00:25:28 thing of Justin Trudeau. That was, that was his schick. Yes. And do you want to show Ebby? Ebby talking about cornworkers. So, I mean, we all know the NDP is not a serious party. But we've actually got one of them saying something that isn't straight up fucking retarded. About a severe restriction of members,
Starting point is 00:25:52 as we're talking about a complete shutdown of the program, can you be more specific as to your exact ask for the power of government? Thank you. Yeah. Well, as we face these economic headwinds, there should be one priority for government. It is making sure that Canadians are protected and looked after. and in particular that young people have a strong economic future in our country.
Starting point is 00:26:16 The temporary foreign worker program is not working. It should be canceled or significantly reformed. Here in Surrey, we see the sale of temporary labor market assessments, temporary foreign worker labor market assessments. Here in British Columbia, we see an unacceptably high level of unemployment. You've got David Eby, the NDP Premier of British Columbia. on the same page as Pierre Polly. Both pretty late to the party, but at least they finally made it.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Don Farrell has been chosen as Canada's new major projects. Head of new major projects office. Sorry. Said that wrong. Yeah, that's absolutely wonderful. You know how much she's getting paid? No, I don't. Between 579 and 675 a year, depending on bonuses.
Starting point is 00:27:11 So we took some, we took a program that just this is, this is the government cutting a hole in the boat somewhere else to patch another hole. And then they've got to cut another hole to patch the other hole. This is literally that. This new
Starting point is 00:27:26 projects thing in Calgary. Oh, we're going to do it in Calgary because we want to, we want to show Albertans that they feel represented. So we are going to get a fucking bureaucrat and pay them $679,000 a year because we want to show you
Starting point is 00:27:44 that what you care matters to us. I don't want someone getting paid $679,000 a year to add extra layers of bureaucracy to something that should just be mostly deregulated in the fucking first place. I found this tweet interesting. The prime minister is pleased to announce the appointment of Don Farrell to spearhead this mission
Starting point is 00:28:06 as the chief executive officer of the major projects office. Ms. Farrell brings four decades of experience in Canada's energy sector, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then somebody highlighted, power utility transcorp, thoroughly investigated other options before signing a $750 million investment deal with Brookfield Renewable Partners. Oh, funny how that goes. You don't say. You don't say, too. You know
Starting point is 00:28:36 Like Brookfield Hathaway has become the new We charity You know there's like conflict of interest My son's trying out for U11A Okay Okay You know my background in hockey Am I allowed to evaluate
Starting point is 00:28:49 Those tryouts? No The answer is no Because it's conflict Because my son's it Is my oldest brother Who has no children anymore Allowed to
Starting point is 00:28:58 Or so no children in minor hockey Allowed to go in and evaluate He's coached like a touch. Sorry, sorry. The answer is no, because it's a conflict of interest. You look at government and I'm like, we can't, we can't evaluate U11 kids
Starting point is 00:29:15 because conflict of interest. But right there, there's millions upon millions upon millions, not to mention 500 and whatever you said. And that's just for, that's just for her. That's not for the whole office. That is not the administrative cost
Starting point is 00:29:32 that the companies, hoping to do business are going to incur by navigating their red tape. It's insane. By the way, I just want to point out the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses is coming out defending the temporary foreign worker program. And that's fucking stupid. Beer store shutters,
Starting point is 00:29:54 more locations closing in on government-imposed cap. Another six beer store locations are set to shut in Ontario by early November as the alcohol giant continues to announce a steady wave of closing. across province. The most recent round of closures meant the company, which is owned by Sleiman, Moleson, and Labak, can't shutter more stores without violating its $225 million deal with the for government.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Strings attached to the funding means the beer store must keep at least 300 locations open until the end of 2025, at which point it can close as many as it sees fit. Since the funding was announced, the beer store has announced a steady stream of closers to the 438 stores it had when the government liberalized alcohol sales between May 2024 and 1, late June 2025, the alcohol retailer closed more than 70 locations.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Since then, another 39 closers have been announced. The total of 113 shuttered or planned shuttered stores means the company can only announce the closure of another 25 locations before the end of the year without violating the agreement. And they have been quoted saying, we won't go below 300, no shit, Sherlock. They're getting $225 million to ensure they don't go below 300 stores. Yeah. So they had a monopoly And rather than just be grateful
Starting point is 00:31:07 For the monopoly that they had for as long as they did Say hey, you know what You made us You set up a situation where we were able To squeeze the consumers For more money than they would have otherwise given us Under less than ideal conditions And we thank you for it
Starting point is 00:31:24 For as long as it happened And now we're going to part ways They're like no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You need to give us A quarter of a billion dollars. on our way out. And the government's like, yes, okay. Like you can't even do this.
Starting point is 00:31:38 This is deregulation. This is them saying we need to open this up and make it fair for consumers and for small businesses. And in order to do that, we are going to give some of the richest people in the history of this country another quarter of a billion dollars. Toronto condo market is in free fall. Federal Housing Minister says the Toronto condo market is now in a free fall,
Starting point is 00:32:04 quoted federal minister of housing and infrastructure Gregor Robertson. There's far too much condo product in both Toronto and Vancouver. That type of housing was overbuilt in recent years, and it's not selling in today's market. Robertson said following a tour of Oak House, a new yet to be completed University of Toronto residents. Good. The fewer people that want to live in Toronto, the better.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Quebec declares a North Volt battery plant, partnership dead loses $270 million investment. I don't know. Do you need me to go on about this? Or would you like me to, there's things in there, but they've lost $270 million. Who could have seen this coming? This economic prefall in the EV industry,
Starting point is 00:32:49 it's just absolutely catastrophic. And by far, the worst part of it is just how incredibly unexpected the whole thing has been for everybody involved, all the way from the executives who are only, able to get a little bit rich to it, to the taxpayers who wrongly and raciously questioned the validity
Starting point is 00:33:10 of these unasked for bailouts. North Bull declared bankruptcy in Sweden in March, if anyone cares. Anyways, they, they, uh, okay, get, get to the one from the energy mix. Get to the, this one's going to be awesome.
Starting point is 00:33:28 The energy mix? Mm-hmm. Now I'm, now I don't. Canceling. Canada's EV mandate would mean 11,000 extra deaths. Keeping it delivers millions of dollars to Musk. This whole article is like that meme where the guys looking at the two buttons.
Starting point is 00:33:49 But it's from a leftist retarded perspective. They're like, well, because here's the thing is that they actually buy into their own bullshit. Canada's EV mandate will prevent 11,000. premature deaths according to this, which is one of those disprovable things. Well, I mean, if we do it, we say, oh, we saved 11,000 deaths. And if we don't do it, we say that 11,000 random people would have lived longer had this not happen. They're like, but on the other hand, Elon Musk is going to get rich if we do this.
Starting point is 00:34:29 And I don't know if you know this about these kind of people or not. but they're retarded. It's just, it's silly. Anyway, and then also, I thought it was in here, but maybe it's not. Oh, yes, Carney may be announcing later today that. Yes, he's been huddled at a hotel just north of Toronto for the last two days and the lead-up of Friday's announcement, today's announcement.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Carney revealed he has spoken with you as President Donald Trump Monday night, but cautioned Canadians not to expect white smoke to signal the end of punishing sector, specific tariffs on steel, aluminum, copper, and autos, much of the cabinet agenda this week has been focused on the economy, which contracted by 1.6% in the second quarter of the year. The EV mandates, along with other policies like clean fuel regulation, are key pieces of previous government climate policy. They've also been targeted targets of conservatives and industry critiques of the federal liberals economic policy, other policies that have been criticized that negatively impacting Canada's competitiveness, particularly in the energy sector,
Starting point is 00:35:33 include the emissions cap and oil and gas and what's known as Bill C-69. So there's supposedly an announcement coming today, twos, as you pointed out, we'll wait and see what actually happens. Now, if he actually does do some of this stuff, keep in mind that this is stuff that he had not campaigned on, but Pollyev had. And so all of these times that Carney is doing things that Paulyev said he would do, or even slightly more,
Starting point is 00:36:05 which by the way, given the current state of things, shows you how much of a half measure the promises were. But why the Conservative Party isn't just doing a victory lap every time it happened? Think about how whenever the liberals
Starting point is 00:36:19 would bring in an NDP policy in exchange for the coalition government. They'd be like, oh yeah, we're bringing in dental care. And then the NDP would jump in and be like, we are bringing in dental care. And Pollyev saying, hey, we need to get rid of this stupid law.
Starting point is 00:36:35 And then Mark Carney says, we are getting rid of this stupid law. That is the point for Pollyev to point out, hey, you know what? I appreciate the fact that you're taking my advice. I wish it wasn't for free. And if you guys could send like a gift basket or something, the next time you institute one of our policy planks,
Starting point is 00:36:55 we'll call it good. Well, it isn't for free. I mean, Pierre is getting paid a load of money too. Yes. Right? But the point is... He's official opposition. His whole purpose of being in there
Starting point is 00:37:05 is to advocate for the betterment of Canada. So he's not getting it for free. I take your point. But forest and trees, motherfucker. Sure. I'm not going to sit here and go that any politician is giving things away for free. No, but he's giving things...
Starting point is 00:37:26 The liberals have a whole bunch of people that they pay a whole lot of money to to come up with fancy ideas. And he's just taking care. One of them, one of them was like, what if we just did all the shit that guy says? It's true. And that's ended for free. Happy Friday, folks.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Mashup 174. I've made twos annoyed today. I'm just, I'm basically John Luke Picard right now. Uh, video, okay, let's go into Ravit Fire. Video shows, uh, moments after Trump ordered strike on alleged drug smugglers both that killed 11. Tuesday is going to play the video. The U.S. military killed 11 people in Tuesday in a strike on a vessel from Venezuela, allegedly carrying illegal narcotics. U.S. President Donald Trump said it in the first known operation since his administration, recent deployment of warships in the Southern Caribbean.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Quoted, we just over the last few minutes literally shot up. Tuesday, do you want to read it? I feel like you could do a great impersonation. No, no. I want to hear your impersonation. No, I can't do it. We just over the last few minutes literally shot out a boat. A drug carrying boat.
Starting point is 00:38:39 A lot of drugs in the boat, Trump told the- A lot of drugs in the boat. A lot of drugs. A lot of drugs. A lot of real high fish coming in. I talked to a dolphin. He said it was the best drugs he'd ever had.
Starting point is 00:38:58 He said he was tripping booies. Boos. This is why we're all here, aren't we, folks? I mean, you look at the world, and you just like, it can't get any worse. It can't go anymore. sane and it just upsets it every mashup. You got to laugh at it sometimes.
Starting point is 00:39:18 It would be happening whether we were doing it or not. True. Taxpayers bought 550 McDonald's burgers for Catered City of Richmond holiday event. Richmond City Holiday staff party in December cost taxpayers $119,000. In addition to buying alcohol, taxpayers spent $80,000 on catering and buried within the 4,400 pages of documents, Global News reviewed was the acknowledgement that although the amount of food provided by the caterer was sufficient, McDonald's Cheeseburgers and Junior Chicken Burgers were provided towards the end of the event so that staff could grab as the exit of the event. They bought 275 Junior Chicken Burgers and $275 Cheeseburgers, $1,800 order for McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Yeah. Yeah, they ordered it three days ahead of time. Did you notice the quote afterwards? Okay, here's the quote. Who does Mayor Brody think he is? Mayor McChese said Canadian Taxpayers Federation BC Director, Karen Binda, in reference to the McDonald's character. Now, if anybody from Global is watching or listening right now,
Starting point is 00:40:30 I would like to point out that his name is Carson. Carson Binda. Spelling. Spelling. We subsidize these. And the Canadian Taxpayer Federation speaks out against subsidized media, and as a result, they get their name spelled wrong in news articles. It's information warfare.
Starting point is 00:40:57 You're focusing on the spelling. I'm focusing on the fact they bought a crazy amount of McDonald's. Okay. John Carpe has been disbarred by the Law Society of Alberta. So there's that. I keep asking this question. Tuesday, does anybody know this answer? So, so he was, uh, well, he had a judge tailed, right, by a private investigator.
Starting point is 00:41:24 That's, that's the reason why, right? So is that illegal? That's what I'm asking. Is it illegal? Or is the judge not allowed to be investigated? Unless, unless, unless that private investigator is breaking into his fucking house, I would say that would be fine. And the judge can just defend himself with reasonable.
Starting point is 00:41:46 force if that ever happens anyway. He also got ordered Mr. Carpay to pay cost the amount of $7.0, $7,400. $7,400. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Yeah, I don't know. It's funny. Me and Ken were talking about this, okay? Yeah. Why is it? You know, you can sit there and go, oh, maybe he was out of line having a judge fault. I don't know. I keep asking
Starting point is 00:42:14 a question. Is it illegal to do it? I, if it is, okay. But I'm like, why is it that everything that comes out of the COVID era is always against the good guys? The JCCF has been defending kind of like the democracy fund, all the people who are fighting the government. And what are they doing? They're like knocking them out one by one, right? So you don't see a judge or a political figure getting fine, getting removed from their job.
Starting point is 00:42:44 It's always the good team. So once again, John Carpe just had him on the podcast for Pete's sake, now disbarred by Alberta. Here's a wild one. Six candidates for Germany's AFD party, as they put in the headline, far right AFD party,
Starting point is 00:43:03 die and lead up to the election. And police have said there's no suggestion of foul play at hand in the details, or in the death, sorry. No foul play. Six people just, done all natural causes i bet despite the police ruling out suspicious circumstances retired economist stephen homberg so probably german claimed on a post in a post on x that the number of
Starting point is 00:43:28 candidates deaths was statistically almost impossible i think one of our early mashups was covering a guy who committed suicide by tying himself to a tree in the middle of the woods shooting him in a chest, shooting himself in the chest, and there was no weapon found. I feel like this is probably the same kind of thing. If you run into an asshole, first thing in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day long, you're the asshole. And here's the thing. If one of your guys dies leading up to an election, one of your guys dies.
Starting point is 00:44:14 If all of them die, it's probably the competition. Sask RCMP released Queen of Canada suspects arrested a conspiracy compound and rearrest two. RCMP have released 16 people but arrested two after searching a compound in southwestern Saskatchew that hosts Romana Didaloo the self-proclaimed queen of Canada. So yeah, if I remember correctly, it was like a little bit south of Maple Creek. but yeah she had this she kind of just took over one of the old there's a lot of old abandoned schools in Saskatchewan as you know communities kind of merged their schooling and everything like that and she had a group of people i don't know if we can say cult or not i'm not sure what the deal is because here's the thing is that she has kingdom of canada followers too's i think
Starting point is 00:45:08 anytime you put those things together i think we can use cult can't we? I don't know. Well, here's the thing is I haven't really seen any coverage. They're living in an abandoned school. My hometown has an abandoned school that a family bought and moved into. And I have spent the rest of my life ever since then jealous as fuck. Do we call a family a cult? I don't think so. This feels a little more cultish. Well, it might be, but here's the point is, is that benefit? of the doubt is that I have not seen this covered by anybody that I trust. The only people I've seen covering this are people I definitively do not fucking trust.
Starting point is 00:45:56 So what you're saying is, is we need to get the Queen of Canada on. Yes. We need to, Ben, we need to have the Queen of Canada on the podcast to clear things up. And maybe she's crazier than a bag of cats. Or maybe. possible. This is just a big fucking smear. Like, look at the fifth estate coverage of the freedom convoy.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Okay. Let's see if we can't get the Queen of Canada on the mashup. Show up hands out there. I can't see you. Who wants to see the Queen of Canada on the mashup? 175. When have you ever heard a podcast with a cult leader before? Even if she is a cult leader.
Starting point is 00:46:41 You can't say she's a cult leader. We don't know that yet, too. You're just arguing that maybe it is an occult. So you can't call her that. just going to call her the queen of Canada, and maybe some of her followers. Well, come on. You know what? I recognize her sovereignty over Canada, just as much as I recognize Mark Carney's.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Drivers, okay? This is something else we've been, you know, the crime and everything we've been covering. Now it's the driver's story, okay? So here is the white mud drive over Pasadhanthe. Hende has been struck here. There you go. Okay, semi, all in a big backo by the looks of it,
Starting point is 00:47:22 Traco. Just a big excavator. Bingo, bang. There you go. Okay, you want to show the couple of videos we got of different drivers? I assume you do. I mean, we could. This one I could just show,
Starting point is 00:47:38 you see it all in just a still, but this is the airport in Vancouver. Jim says she's fucking crazy. Maybe, maybe. you know what if she is it should be very entertaining murray henderson says no thanks i've seen enough of her through the years hey you know what if she is crazy i think that would be really fun we should try and have some actual crazy people on here more often but if she's not one way or the other we get to the bottom of it carrie jepson says do it kevin says i would like to hear from
Starting point is 00:48:19 her majesty the queen of Canada fuck I love that guy I love all of our listeners all you are wonderful people this is great okay carry on let's show some videos like how how does this okay you're going to show this one first
Starting point is 00:48:34 okay yeah this is one but yeah I don't think you can just rub a little dirt on that one Sean no I don't think so I don't think that's going to buff out can you show the video of the van on the, I'm like, I don't even understand how this happens.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Like, how, how does this happen? Yeah, how does this happen? What do you mean, how does this happen? You see, the tires, the carriage sits higher than the tires do. And as it goes over, thank you, twos. Yes, it gets hung up on the high point of the stairs where one or more of the tires are no longer touching the ground. I'm asking a more in-depth question, you know, that's maybe a little over your head of like,
Starting point is 00:49:23 how on earth does a van even get to the point of this staircase? Like, where did it go to get here? Well, I'm guessing it took the escalator first. Show the video, you jackass. This is that the Vancouver area. I just, I just want to get back to it. What is going on? I want to get back to a simpler time in Canada when the biggest things that we had to deal with in terms of bad drivers,
Starting point is 00:49:53 were 15-year-old kids with their learner's license and women doing their makeup. Did I? I just saw it this morning. I just saw it this morning, but there's one of a car like hanging over the edge of a car park in Mississauga. This was actually supposed to be in the economy. The one you're bringing up here. Okay. Well, here, Crown Royal, the decision by, I'm going to put this up first, okay?
Starting point is 00:50:24 Here you go. This has become quite the photo. The decision by major alcohol distributor Diego to shutter its Amherstburg Crown Royal Bottling Plant has ignited calls for Ontario to pull the brand from LCBO shelves. After talks to the community members and union leaders, Lisa Grexky, NDP, MPP for Windsor West is calling on the government to pull the whiskey brand. Quoted, we're not going to stand by and let you just try and squeeze a little more money out of those wealthy stake shareholders at the risk of 200 people in our community. we'll take the step of pulling Crown Royal off the shelves at the LCBO Grexie told CTV News. And of course, I think everybody saw the press conference where Doug Ford is trying to get rid of all the crown. You know, when you travel, how revered Crown Royal is?
Starting point is 00:51:15 Like, yeah. But incredibly, I don't know, it gives me heartburn. So I've never been a big fan of it. Well, I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of it. I'm just saying like when I traveled in and played hockey in the States, Americans enjoy the Crown Rock. They enjoy the Crown Row. Like,
Starting point is 00:51:34 one for like three minutes. We've got time to. Can you believe this is a press conference? Like you got to pop that little plastic thing out, you fucking idiot. So Crown Royal is made in Gimley, Manitoba, like literally on the shores of Lake, Winnipeg. It's made with Canadian grain. And then, until recently, it's been bottled in Ontario, but they're going to move it to the states. Now, it makes sense to have the processing facility in Gimley.
Starting point is 00:52:08 It's already set up there. And in terms of logistics, you've got a lot more transportation of grain than you do of the finished product. But at the same time, it's become economically unviable to have unionized jobs, with expensive green energy subsidy bullshit in Ontario to do this when it can just be done simply simpler. The video is still going. It's only half over, Sean, in the States. And so here's the thing is rather than say, hey, you know what? We appreciate the fact that you guys were here for so long, but, and it sucks that you're
Starting point is 00:52:47 going. We hope you'll reconsider. See, there's no, there's no gratitude at all. It's all fucking entitlement. And this is the guy who by a very wide margin, according to the last ballot, represents the thoughts and perspectives of people in Ontario. See, because businesses, yeah, sure, they'll make a few dumb mistakes every once in a while. Like when Shaw paid a few billion dollars for cable TV exclusivity right before streaming took off or how Blockbuster decided to not buy Netflix for fucking pennies or or the Edmonton elk. or a bud light.
Starting point is 00:53:26 There's going to be companies that make bad decisions. But at the end of the day, this is a decision that's made by a, this is, this would have been something that was made by the board. This is a group of people with a vested interest in looking at the pros and cons and how they can do the same thing for much less money out of pocket in different jurisdictions. So this is Ontario doesn't make economic sense for businesses And so rather than just say
Starting point is 00:53:59 Hey you know what we had a good run It sucks that you're leaving I get it You guys made this decision Because we are not good enough for you anymore You think there was I'm reading I'm reading Dune right now
Starting point is 00:54:15 And Oh because we were talking about it last week Yeah well I don't know anyways it doesn't matter probably anyways i'm really talked about it last week and now you're reading it and it's probably related sure too's you know what it's your idea it's another one of twos ideas anyways in the the start of the story they're talking about uh a beggars coming for scraps of water off the the washing they wash your hands and everything and then they sell it to the beggars i watch that video i'm like i think there's like just like a homeless dude or two just sitting there
Starting point is 00:54:49 going, okay, when everybody leaves, we're running to that spot. They just dumped a full bottle of Crown Royal on the ground. We're getting some of that. Oh, yeah. And it was, it wasn't a Mickey either. No, no, like, I mean, uh, anyways, I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. But I just, I just want to point out just the fact that you've got this sense of entitlement.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Like you are somehow morally obligated to fucking continue funding this. these group of people who are doing the job for way too much money, more than the going rate, and we are going to try and punish you rather than say, hey, thanks for supporting us as long as you did. Can we talk about things that we want to talk about? How about another heist, too? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Okay. 14 arrested in the largest Home Depot theft ring ever. Authorities in Southern California. 3.7 million U.S. in stolen goods. The suspects are allegedly linked to 600 thefts at 71 different home depots with losses exceeding 10 million across multiple Southern California counties. Police say David All, who ran a storefront called Aria Wholesale and Tarzanah, was at a center of the operation, all faced 48 felony counts, including conspiracy,
Starting point is 00:56:12 organized retail theft, grand theft, receiving stolen property, and money laundering, Authority says Ventura County Sheriff Jim Frile said Al's boosters would systematically steal expensive electronic components like breakers, dimmers, and switches sometimes hitting every Home Depot in Ventura County in a single day. The stolen goods were then allegedly delivered to Al's business or home in trash bags or Home Depot boxes during searches. Investigative seized an estimated 3.7 million in Home Depot property and 800,000, what they described as dirty money from alleged money laundering operations. They'd steal it and then sell it through a different organization. Okay. First off, I can't believe that anybody in their right mind would buy a used breaker.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Secondly, have you seen how expensive they are? And I get the fact that I'm contradicting myself because, look, if you're unwilling to buy a used one, obviously you're okay with paying the price that they are at the store. I'm just saying I get why people steal them. at some point when you're doing that don't you like you know like it's kind of like you get into the drug business right all the movies and then you just you get so deep you can't get out
Starting point is 00:57:22 I'm like reading that story I'm like why don't you just get out like after you've got a million dollars worth of stolen stuff and you've sold it all you got $800,000 sitting there and cash don't you just go yeah maybe we should stop like maybe we've got enough but it's the rush remember when I know why I know to Ryder was getting arrested for shoplifting Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:57:40 She's got millions of dollars. At the time she was a wildly successful actress. I think it was like right before Scanner Darkly came out. Criminally underrated movie, by the way. And so she's got bazillions of dollars and she's stealing candy bars. I guess. It's the rush. There's one million in gold hidden somewhere in Canada and here's how to find it.
Starting point is 00:58:03 This is a headline, the Northern Minor, the Great Canadian Treasure Hunt is cross-country contest pitting Canadians' deductive skills against the whole. holy grail of geographical guessing games, a weatherproof case with a code redeemable for one million and gold. Yeah, so it's not even, this is disappointing. If you're going to bury, like if you're going to do a search to find one of those giant gold coins,
Starting point is 00:58:33 I don't know, have you ever seen them before? They're huge. I saw one at the Mint a while back. Apparently somebody else bought one and turned it into a coffee. which is a pretty big flex but like it's still less than yeah yeah i mean i think it's pretty cool but uh like it's still that that bar of gold that we had um that we were all holding there that one night you know like that at s qb yeah yeah that's still smaller or that's that's still bigger than
Starting point is 00:59:04 than the uh the hundred key or no wait no it's got to be their math's got to be way off Because if it's a million bucks, that gold bar that we were holding was like $1.6 million. Correct. Yes. It said it said the prize, according to additional. No, no, wait, wait, wait. The contest, terms and conditions describe the grand prize as a 270, 21 ounce gold coins. Um, well, you, uh, you're trying to figure out $217.
Starting point is 00:59:46 At 35, 65, 65 an ounce, I'm not sure if that's. What's it in Canadian right now? I think it's... I think it's five. 40. Yeah, so that's got to be USD. Here, I'll pull it up. Okay, well, let's just go.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Here we go. All right. Silver gold bull. You pulled up my... There you go. No, we're just, we're both on the same page. 4976 times 217. Actually, we'll call it 4977.
Starting point is 01:00:20 Times 217 is just over a million. Yeah. Hey, if you're ever interested in getting into gold, look at that chart. Yeah. Keep in mind that that's just a year. Now, do you want to say anything else on this? We beard off Coruscott.
Starting point is 01:00:44 I'm trying to figure out if that was a million dollars. There is, as far as I understand, a treasure hunt going across country for a million bucks. Yeah. I kind of, wouldn't it be handy if it was like, I don't know, a few miles away from my house? Sure. People can go read a cryptic poem and try and uncover the clues. And folks, you could go win a million dollars. Zane says it made 8% in the year, maybe 8% this year.
Starting point is 01:01:15 But like over the past calent, like over the past 365 days, it's gone up, well, what was it, like 33 now to 5? So you're looking at like 40% in a year. Basically the first few people to ask for the Sean Newman discounted Silver Gold Bowl are laughing all the way to the bank. Here, I'll pull it. I'll pull it right there. Okay. I'll go back. That's more than 8%.
Starting point is 01:01:43 It started at 33, 398 on September 5th a year ago. And today it's at 4943. There you go. Once again, it's 68.7% year over year. Yeah, okay. Well,
Starting point is 01:02:11 really? 68.7, yep. If you're wondering about SGB or you're wanting to get golden silver, shameless plug, because they do sponsor the podcast, Silvergoldbowl.com. They started their business in Rocky Mountain House,
Starting point is 01:02:28 just saying. And if you mentioned Sean Newman, you get a discount on your purchases. Thanks, twos. See, twos always gives me shit because I never add in all the things. Canada has pledged to plant two billion trees.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Here's how close we are. And it says we're a tenth of the way there. Yeah. Yeah, we're basically not on part to make it. Interesting thing, though, is that at the same time that we decide we need two billion more trees in Canada? We're spraying.
Starting point is 01:03:00 We've been spraying her. Herbicides all over the forests. We need 2 billion more trees. Well, how many have we killed? How many have we killed by spraying Roundup on the forest? Herbicide to be sprayed dropped across the Ottawa Valley forest. Glyphosate, known as the most common weed killing chemical in Canada, is set to be dropped across Slex Forest in Renfrew County.
Starting point is 01:03:21 This is like, I know this is like, what? But like, I go back a year ago to the Jasper Forest Fire conversation. And they were talking about this then. So, like, this is, this is happening in other places other than just Ottawa. It's happening in Nova Scotia, and they're no longer disclosing where and how much they're spraying. Right. Kind of a big deal. If you happen to be like out in the woods and you're like, is it raining?
Starting point is 01:03:46 No, it's fucking roundup. Well, that's probably not going to be great. No, but EVs are saving 11,000 people. Enbridge gives go ahead for two natural gas transmission projects. The company says, oh, this is great. I just, I just, we don't even need to get into it. I just, I think it's absolutely wonderful that, you know, you read this headline. Edbridge gives go ahead for two natural gas transmission products.

How many weeks is it twos until we see videos? Because it says visitors can borrow from a selection of seat maps and tarps while they use the trail, though they must return them to abandon the welcome sign when finished. How long? How long to's until we see videos?

I feel like we're going to do a follow-up story on this. The Englewood Bird Sanctuary, if I'm looking at this map right, and if I'm thinking about roughly where it is,
Starting point is 01:05:57 that's an easy striking distance of the giant homeless shelter downtown. this this okay literally i did not know until last year what crack smoke smelled like but just being at downtown calgary one time i did middle of the day like four in the afternoon on a thursday right in front of you know the bow tower where there's that giant mesh head i had some crazy prostitute lady yelling at me across the street trying to get me to pay money to have sex with her at like four in the afternoon on a third Thursday. Have I never told you my story of going to the Western Standards, like, office? And it's like right across from, what is that, the C train, I assume. And or the parking lot, sorry, I parked in a parking lot.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Then there's a sea train. Then there's a building. And I was in middle of the day. So probably like one in the afternoon. I left, went in, talked to the guys at Western Standard, came back out. And there's a group of three huddled by my car doing it. And I was like, and I was like, I don't even know what to do. I'm like, I've got to sneak by them, get in my car. drive away. That was like one o'clock. And then I had a good friend be like, where'd you park? It don't leave your vehicle there after dark. And I'm like, what? He's like, oh, you don't, you don't want to be down there. There's a lot of places where you don't want to park overnight in downtown Calgary. Literally, right underneath the Calgary Tower, there's a parking lot right across from it. And I was in that parking lot at like 7.30 in the morning on a Saturday. And this random homeless dude's just
Starting point is 01:07:29 yelling gibberish at me. And I'm like, what the fuck? And they're, ooh, like that's probably a direct quote and i'm like what the fuck is he saying and then he just drops his pants and starts swinging his pecker around he's doing like a helicopter like manually though he's not doing the hip thrust thing he's manually swinging around and this thing was a hog like i could hear the wump wump it did not mess around and this is the state of this is the state of downtown calgary you're making me crying this side somebody else come on that that was funny that I mean, that's funny. It's a true story.
Starting point is 01:08:14 He's not using the hip thrust. Oh, man, okay. A pirate final resting place. Peg Leg Pete now under legal scrutiny. So this is the Fernandina observer from Fernandina, Florida. It's just up in the top right corner, basically right near the Florida Georgia line. And they were going to take down or do something with the statue. And then they realized that, oh, it's.
Starting point is 01:08:39 got a dead body in it? And so they're wondering if it's the actual pirate, which would be pretty cool. I would love to just be, you know, my final resting place. If it isn't the family cemetery in Saskatchewan, I would want it to be... A giant two statue? An amusement park fucking statue.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Four hikers rescued after suffering debilitating psychedelic mushroom high in New York's cat... Skill mountains. So they went to go on, you know, like a, what do you call it? Where they go out into the woods and. Yeah, so wander. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Take an electric trip. Yeah. And then they got high as fuck and they were tripping balls. And they had to call the government to come rescue them. Correct. Five French women boxers to miss world championships over deadline for new sex tests. female. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're probably not women. Female boxers have to undergo a polymer
Starting point is 01:09:50 chain reaction test or an equivalent genetic screening test to determine their sex at birth. How about just do you have a dick? Champagne. Like here's the thing. With boxing, it can be really simple. The first thing you do at the start of the match is that each boxer punches the other one in the junk.
Starting point is 01:10:13 that's that's all you got to do you don't need to get anybody to whip anything out and do a helicopter you don't need to perform qualitative tests on DNA just i'm going to punch you in the junk you're going to punch me in the junk and if one of us drops they probably shouldn't be there in the first place champagne says adjustments coming to the public service as auto reviews spending finance minister francoisilippe champagne acknowledged thursday that adjustments are coming to the public services auto looks to trim its spending in the fall budget. You know where they're having that discussion right now? At a liberal retreat. They're literally going on a liberal retreat to try and come up with ways to spend less taxpayer money. Didn't we already proof the PCR test couldn't bring any real results?
Starting point is 01:11:10 That's a PCR test, though. That's not quite the same thing as a gender thing. Well, it literally says a PCR test, too. It literally said PCR tests. Seriously? Is there anything those things can't do? Or an equivalent genetic screening test to determine their sacks at birth. So every time somebody got a false positive?
Starting point is 01:11:36 Is it just because they wipe their dick on it or what? I don't know. Ambulks care. Just real quick. The liberal government is doing another one of their, do you remember last time? when they spent a gazillion dollars on market rate lobster and Prince Edward Island, that same fucking retreat is the one they're on right now, where they're just sitting there in like two inch thick hotel bathrobes
Starting point is 01:12:03 with their feet up getting manicured and being fed caviar and I don't know, probably something fucking endangered and saying, well, yes, I've been wondering, Charles, how do you think that we could cope spending?

Starting point is 01:13:43 all right here we go and this is definitely worth the the audio on this is pretty good so if you're if you're having trouble hearing it turn it up a little bit so a guy on a scooter is stopping traffic in emminton because he's mad because he's mad because because somebody was turning towards him and almost hit him. He was famous last words. Remember, like, the 90s when they used to just, like, very obviously put
Starting point is 01:14:48 dummies in and comedic situations where they would just toss them around and stuff like that? That's literally how this guy is getting tossed around. Notice that it... Actually, here, just... I'm going to rewind it real quick. You can see that he's got his mask
Starting point is 01:15:04 pulled down around his chin while he's outside on a scooter by himself. Really? I didn't see the mask. I didn't see that. There was a mask on there? Yeah, you could, well, here, if I. Oh, yeah, you can too. Yeah, you can. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. What can do it, bitch? Well, if you insist. Well, it's funny. Last night, the Bobcats in town had their evening of champion. So Louis de Brusk was on stage and he was talking about driving on the Anthony Hende. And so you had Louis de Bruss talking about him and Luke Gazzdick getting, like tailed by somebody obviously upset with him and he's like I don't think they really want us
Starting point is 01:15:44 to pull over and I'm like in that video I'm like you're you're messing with the wrong group of human beings when you got a whole you know like the two guys that step out of that in the video I'm like that doesn't look enjoyable at all no no no one's like the big dude he's got shaved head like a Buddhist monk show to the video of garat I knew the car we go live and cry was getting bad, but fuck me. Security protection on the butter. They don't even do this for fucking guns in America. Does something that costs 549 really need this level of protection? I mean, don't get me wrong, that is a fucking scandalous price for a bit of butter. We've all been so busy reading about fucking Elon Musk on Twitter. We didn't even realize there was a Kerry Gold
Starting point is 01:16:31 theft epidemic right in our fucking doorstep. What are they doing with it? Are they selling it on the fucking black market? This is going to add a lot of unnecessary stress to making a few slices of toast. Before you eat the toast, guys, I just want you to know everything is above board. I've purchased the butter legally. I went through all the security
Starting point is 01:16:50 checks. And this is only the start of it. Before you know what, you'll be going into the supermarket and the potatoes will be under a fucking army escort. Actually, I wish we thought of that a couple of hundred years ago. You'll have to have all your liquid before you enter the bread aisle. Disgraceful, follow me. I'm delicious.
Starting point is 01:17:09 Do you know how many potatoes it takes to starve an Irishman? How many? Zero. Greta Thunberg. You want to show that video? I assume you do. I assume you want Greta on the show? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:28 So here's Greta. You guys forgot about her, but she still exists. We all forgot about her. And Palestine is the new climate change. Story is also about a global uprising, about how people are stepping up. up when our governments fail to do so.
Starting point is 01:17:46 She looks like every single bad guy from the princess bride got merged together. Okay. Parkwater haircut? Yeah, it's wonderful. It's great. There's this. The air show in downtown Toronto. This is
Starting point is 01:18:06 not merely a show for people. It is a deep trauma for the families of Palestinians whose homes were destroyed by Israeli bombings in Gaza. That's cruelty, not entertainment. I thought it was mostly rockets that were hitting in Palestine, right? I thought they were just always firing rockets at each other, not that they were doing aerial bombings. It doesn't even seem to be historically accurate, let alone the fact that it's retarded.
Starting point is 01:18:33 The NEP leadership is underway and the party is limiting signatures from cis men. This is a great story. It was all over Twitter for like one day. everybody had just learned about it and they were fascinated to hear this and we covered it on the mashup three weeks ago. Correct. Painting stolen by Nazis during World War II
Starting point is 01:18:57 believed discovered an Argentine real estate listing. Yeah, because that's where they all went, folks. This is the painting portrait of the lady. That's who you decided to. And that apparently is a portrait that they have been, just keep it there for a minute. Just look at that woman's face. They have been trying to get this famous portrait back
Starting point is 01:19:22 for the past 75 years or whatever. I would pay money to somebody to keep me from seeing that painting. She looks about as happy to see the painter in that painting as I am to see that painting of her. And keep in mind that historically, the painters used to always try and be more flattering, right? They would reduce the less than flattering aspects of a person and just kind of they basically, it was like the first Photoshop.
Starting point is 01:20:02 So if that's how that woman looked in that painting, just imagine how she looks in real life. There's the actual painting, if anyone cares. Okay. Okay. What do we else we got here? We got the sex for rent contracts in Canada becoming popular. Undercover Investigator catches one in the act in the video below. Is this how far Canada has fallen?
Starting point is 01:20:27 Landlords are trying to take advantage of young vulnerable girls. I mean, it's a crazy new development in our culture. New sex for rent agreements become popular in Canada. I remember back in the day, we used to just call it marriage. Okay. Um, hard-nosed investigation. OPP. Is this being on?
Starting point is 01:20:56 OVP released a video on the careless firearms use. So I think a lot of us saw the videos being shown of the, what was a four men, shooting off guns on the top of a bridge. Yeah. And they asked for help. They, it was just this. Can you identify these people? Big, in-depth investigation.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Here's circulating on social media showing individuals discharging, firearms and a careless and unsafe met. So they're asking for help. Our top priority. Now, I mean, it's just absolutely amazing the way the community came together to track these guys down. Literally from the video that he's referencing that there are stills of. Literally from that video, the car's license plate is clearly visible.
Starting point is 01:21:47 C, Z, C, A, 115. They literally put skills from that video in a public request for tips and information regarding the possible identities of these people. And they didn't think to maybe just look at the bottom of the screen where their license plate is and then maybe talk to somebody like, I don't know the fucking police who could just look that up and be like, Oh, that's Bill's car. Let's go talk to Bill. On other news, Jim Sinclair says,
Starting point is 01:22:23 No, they use person airstrikes. There you go. I think he is very cleverly saying suicide bombers. Happy news. Happy news this week. Live action street fighter movie coming out. Yeah, so remember a few weeks ago, we talked about the fact that there's a Mortal Kombat movie coming out?
Starting point is 01:22:48 Well, apparently, That's not where the happiness ends because you've got a live action street fighter movie coming out. Jason Momoa is going to be in it. 50 cent. Eric Andre and Andrew Schultz of all people. Yeah. Here is. Here it is.
Starting point is 01:23:06 Here it is. You think it'll be any good? No, but I think it's going to be horribly awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, remember the first one for you?
Starting point is 01:23:19 No, I don't. Worst day of your life. For me, It was Thursday. Other happy news, Rob Schneider, I'd like to thank the flatulent and utterly incompetent British government for the free promotion of our studio,
Starting point is 01:23:31 Friendly Fire Studio, and Graham, is it Linehan? Linnehan. Newest TV show, Tenor. Okay, so for those of you who don't know who this is, this is the guy who created Father Ted, which I've never watched, I've never even heard of until he was recently on Rogan.
Starting point is 01:23:49 But the other thing he did was, was the brains behind a beauty of a gem called the IT crowd. That guy. That guy basically just got canceled entirely. Nobody will work with him in show business anymore. Totally blacklisted because he said some pretty common things like dudes shouldn't play in women's sports. And now he can't work at all in the entertainment industry.
Starting point is 01:24:19 and so then Rob Snyder's new studio scooped him up and they're like hey you're a comedic genius you've got this brilliant track record of multiple successful TV programs and some of the funniest stuff ever filmed how would you like to come work for us keep in mind on the other end of it they looked past Kevin Spacey for years doing greasy shit who's the guy Brian Singer the guy who wrote and directed the usual suspects yes it's a cinematic masterpiece. But that guy, through the usual suspects, through the X-Men movies, was doing some really bad stuff behind the scenes. And they just turned a blind eye to that for years. Because, hey, he gets results. But if somebody says, you know what, I think maybe dudes shouldn't whip out their peckers in front of women in change rooms. Cancelled. So, I mean, congratulations to Hollywood for being really consistent in your values and showing people exactly what you see as being and not being acceptable. But you're just going to leave this, you know, you're going to leave this low-hanging fruit line there.
Starting point is 01:25:35 Someone's going to scoop it up and I'm sure whatever he's going to be doing is going to be hilarious. Grill manufacturer accidentally lists Canadian couple's number as their helpline. Couple decides to take calls anyways. when girl manufacturer Napoleon accidentally listed Claussen and Kim Jonovic's telephone number is the company's helpline. The Canadians didn't get upset, ignore the phone or change their number. Instead,
Starting point is 01:25:58 they fielded at every call. They happened to own a Napoleon girl and like the brand, so they made sure those callers got the help they needed. As a show of their appreciation, Napoleon named the couple honorary customer ambassadors and gave them a Napoleon prestige 665. Oh, the 665 is a pretty fancy mom.
Starting point is 01:26:16 model. But I think that's pretty cool. That's pretty fun. I don't know. I enjoyed the story. And then Yvese's veggie cuisine, one of Canada's longest standing plant-based food brands to be discontinued. I don't know why it's in the happy news. That's obviously quite tragic for both of the people who really enjoyed eating it. Um, okay, community notes here this week. Okay, we got, uh, Quick Dick McDick is coming to Lashburn, November 22nd. Uh, that's a fundraiser for the Lasburn playground. So if anyone's interested in seeing Quick Dick McDick in the Lloyd area or want to travel further, I will be there as well, but not doing anything, just chilling, hanging out.
Starting point is 01:27:02 But Quick Dick coming to Lashburn in November, you got the Wii Unify conference here in 13 days, September 19th to 21st in Calgary. So that's coming up. Yeah, it's at the, at the BMO Center in the Stampede Grounds. Check out this lineup. All right. Look at this. Viva Fry, Garnet John Wee, Michael Binion, Michelle Ferreary, Bruce Party,

Starting point is 01:27:45 I think I might see if I can just pop by and say hi for a little bit. But definitely an absolute who's who. Then also in, we get the Sundry Harvest Festival Rowdy Rooster contest. Okay. What's a rowdy rooster? What is a rowdy rooster contest, Sean? I'm going to, I'll bring up the picture here. Give me a sec.

Starting point is 01:28:33 Cages must stay closed during the contest. Roosters can be of any breed in any age, max two birds, two birds registered per owner. Yep. So, Sundry, Central Alberta, it's their fair weekend, and they have a rooster crowing contest. No affiliation with us. No affiliation, but that's super cool. And then Kieran Gardner and the Blucher Boys Saturday, September 13th here in Lloyd at Cheers Live. So if you're looking for a band to come see, they're going to be here in Lloyd Minster.

Starting point is 01:29:58 And if you've ever been to a bond spiel before, you know exactly what you're looking at. And if you've never been to a bond spiel, it's just a bunch of people hanging out, drinking some beer, having a good time, curling, and just chewing the fat. hanging out. I don't know.
