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

Welcome to the MASH up. Welcome to the MASH up. right, Claire, we are getting this mashup underway. It's where you got shit to do, but appreciate you joining us. I just, I never understand what the deciding factor is when car manufacturers want to put the gas tank on one side or the other. I don't know why they don't all just put it all on one side. Just put it on one side.

And that's it forever. For whatever reason, not that I've owned, I, I keep cars for a long time. but every car I've ever owned in my life has had a gas cap on one side except for the car that I currently have that I got about two years ago and that one has it on the other side and still I go to fuel up last night

I pull up to the wrong side it's a 30 year habit that is just hardwired into me and still after two years I'm still getting it wrong with this just keep it simple keep it simple stupid I don't know why we have to have someone this side and some on that side just standardize it across the board no one ever has to worry

about it ever again Sean I can maybe come in man match at 186 how's everybody doing today two's how are you doing big fella well I mean aside from that it was kind of a late night and I was like and I got to get gas on the way home and you know I've always I've always wondered that why don't they just make it standard to put it on the right side or the left side i don't i don't care right that is a good question just pick one pick one pick one let's all put it on the same side you know what and kevin brings up a good point because i was thinking about this too and i was like even the gas cap underneath the license plate no matter what side you went you didn't get it wrong correct correct i'm sure it's something to do with the the manufacturers they want to have their

unique design blah blah blah blah blah but uh yeah i i've uh that's that's an interesting point master one 86 how's everybody doing today if uh uh uh you like the show this is your time if you're on x hit the retweet button i don't know why you're watching us and not hitting that button like we have hundreds of share we have write us a memorandum of understanding sure yes um but yeah hit the share button like this is this is the time right now don't wait this is the time it hit it right now folks hit it right now Now, anyways. The English has been here for 19 years and still gets in the wrong side of her truck every day.

That would just be infuriating. Hey, Claire. Actually, shout out to Claire because Claire has the best accent ever. She sends me voice notes all the time. So shout to you, Claire. Yeah. So. She had the rooster.

She had the rooster name, too, not the rooster. What was it, Claire? Forgive me. But she had the rooster name twos and everything, yes. This is. Okay. Excellent. I know exactly who you're talking about.

A guy I know bought a Hillix. Okay. The other day. So the right driving Toyota that's just a brick shit house. Yep. He found one in Canada. The dealership had it. They didn't even know what it was.

He bought it for like $12,000 or $13,000 or something. It's insane. And so, yeah, anyway. Um, if you see any deals like that, you should definitely don't buy them. Just tell me about them. Um, happy Airborne Friday to, uh, you know what? I, wait a second. I'm going to check my phone right now.

This has become part of my, my Friday, this morning. Nope, that's a lie. Good morning, man. He sent me a text. I was like, what, interesting. Um, so showed up to, uh, all the air, sorry, I'm on my own little tangent here. it's become part of my Friday morning routine where Jamie Sinclair sends me a text

and I'm like, this is the worst time to text me. But he keeps doing it and he keeps getting shoutouts on here. But happy Airborne Friday to all the military men. You know, we got a ton of time for you. Although I don't know. Does that include the 400,000 civil servants now, public servants? Like is that?

Are we going to have to like make an asterisk beside that? Like, what are we going to do there? Well, I don't know. I'll let the military guys send us some ideas. on on the bright side if they do send them out to the front lines we won't have to be you know giving them shoutouts for too terribly long um we got a video coming up of marty up north or he's part of the video yeah and uh shout out to marty and his two buddies uh george and norm they came to the new studio yesterday and that was a ton of fun and uh show

it to those guys that'll be air on monday but how about we get into the show today uh tues we got a full week here. Let's start with the Coots, six and a half. I'm going to start with the crown has dropped. All charges against two of three Sikh activists arrested in September for allegedly having a loaded handgun in a car. Indirel Singh, Gassal of Brampton, Jagd Deep Singh of New York and Amon Singh were all arrested on September 19th and Whitby. Sing with me. Sing for the years. Sing for the laughter. Sing for the tears. The email said you can go back to the states. You're good to go.

Jag Deep said I can go anywhere in Canada or I can go back home. So he had that firearm because he needed it. He specifically said he needed it for his own personal safety. Now, for those of you who've never gone through an R-PAL application, one of the things that you get asked is why do you want this? And if you say it's so that I could shoot people who want to hurt me, they won't give it to you. that's a specific thing that gets asked

and there is a couple really wrong answers and one of them is because I want to shoot somebody and that was he needed to have that gun because he needed to protect himself and they said okay drop the charges here's another one Barry Crown seeks eight and a half year sentence for man who raped

and impregnated a 13 year old girl you can't you yeah now why did they do that why show the video do you want to show the video yeah yeah actually you might also show the video uh michelle rample garner the better to stop leniency for non-citizens convicted of serious crime said this is someone is is going out there and raping another individual do you really believe that they're going to get special treatment from a judge well the very next day there was a report

of a non-citizen and Barry being convicted of raping a 13-year-old little girl and impregnating her twice. And the rapist had been given an adjournment to see what impact his guilty plea would have on what? His immigration status. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, if we convict these rapists of raping people, children in this case, then they may not be able to stay here permanently. yeah i got i got i got how about this

it's not them that did it it's their dick that did it so they can stay here but we will send we will we will put that dick in a fed x box and mail it back to wherever they came from you want to stay here that's fine but your dick can't can't can't canada 2025 folks I would say, I would say that's fairly reasonable. You can stay here, but your dick is the thing that raped that little girl, so it needs to be deported.

We need separate, we need separate visa applications and residency status and things like that for the people and the weaners. Memorandum of Understanding Carney Inc's new energy deal with Alberta paving way to new pipeline and well, I'll read off some things before we get into this. With a few strokes of Penn, Prime Minister Mark Carney ushered in a new air of relations with Alberta on Thursday

with a deal that promises to pave the way for a new bitumen pipeline to British Columbia's coast. The deal itself saw Smith's push for Kearney to lay the path for the construction of a new million barrel a day bitumen pipeline, from Alberta, the Pacific Coast ultimately met, along with her push to see her province exempted from a set of clean energy regulations. In exchange, Carney walked away with Smith agreeing to raise her province's industrial carbon

tax, a system that applies to the heaviest of emitters from its current rate of $95 per ton, which Smith froze earlier this year to minimize price, to a minimum price of 130 per ton with the exact details around timelines and future increases to be negotiated through an agreement on a later, no later than April next year. Both governments also agreed to negotiate other agreements, one being on methane regulations. Thursday's deal stipulates that agreement would set a target of reducing methane emissions from 75% below 2014 levels by 2035.

The deal also confirmed Carney's plan not to impose the proposed cap and oil and gas emissions and to amend the greenwashing provisions. At the core of the agreement, of course, it's a priority to have a pipeline to Asia that's going to make Canada stronger, more independent, more resilient, more sustainable. That's what Carney said. The deal also included a commitment that the federal government consider making an adjustment to the federal oil taker ban off B.C.'s coast, which Trudeau's legislated back in 2019 to pave the way for construction pipeline to the Pacific coast.

The document underscores that Smith would also bring forward her proposal for the construction of a new pipeline to the major federal projects office Carney set up. earlier this fall, no later than next July. The deal also aligns how both Alberta and Canada remain committed to achieving net zero by 2050. If there's not a private sector component, there won't be a pipeline. The Prime Minister said, and Carney said other steps required for the project include finding equity ownership among First Nations in Alberta and BC as well as collaboration with BC. Yes. And approval of First Nations.

So we have a memorandum of understanding. And here's the brass tax. The industrial carbon tax in Alberta goes through the roof. We are on net zero by 2050. There are no more clean energy regulations, though. They're considering amending the West Coast tanker ban. we are going to have a in theory this is all in theory we're going to have a streamlined approach for project applications it's going to take no more than two years okay fair enough but on the

other end BC has a veto first nations have has a veto first nations are required to be given partial ownership of any of these projects So we have a memorandum of understanding that the federal government is going to abdicate a whole bunch of their authority and their jurisdiction, I guess, because BC doesn't have a veto on, like no province actually has a veto on any of the, you know, the N.EB Act is now defunct. but what would fall underneath Section 52 of the N.E.B. Act. The provinces have no say in it. The First Nations have no say in it. In fact, the Supreme Court has been clear that First Nations do not have veto on this stuff. But Carney gave them veto in this.

So he's got a memorandum of understanding that he's giving BC, well, provinces, individual provinces, and First Nations veto required to have First Nations ownership, a supposedly streamlined application process and the pipeline is supposed to be completed by what year Sean 2040 are you kidding me mark Carney is going to be dead by then hopefully Justin Trudeau is only entering into the second half of his life I want him to live a long sad boring despised life but Carney's probably going to die of old age or teeth rot did you ever notice that that guy spent so much time in England that he got their teeth? Okay. How is this good? I can't see any part of this that's good. That's normal.

We went through all of these hoops and everything else for a memorandum of understanding where our industrial carbon tax is going to go through the roof. Individual provinces have vetoes. First nations have vetoes. First nations are required to be given partial ownership of these and in exchange we can probably get a pipeline built in the next 15 years are they digging it by hand what in the fuck is wrong with this country they get to go to work on it too's go to work on it no just everybody needs to fuck right off everybody here there are three people who think this memorandum of understanding is a good thing. In no particular order,

they are Mark Snagletooth Carney, Daniel fucking Smith, and Naheed fucking Nenshi. Nahed Nenshi is on board with this is saying it's a good thing, and that doesn't raise any orange flags to anybody? Do you know, the only group of people who see this is a good thing? Are people who own shares in Brookfield,

because one of the other things, tied to this is that they're going to pave the way for government subsidized carbon sequestrian sequestering carbon subpidavitur. And do you know who owns a large stake in the major company in Canada that does carbon subpoivulum? Guess who? Brookfield, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Okay? And look, I get what everybody's thinking right now. Brookfield just so happens to come out on top in every single fucking deal that this country has made in the past year. And it's a little bit fishy. It's a little bit suspicious, right? I mean, it almost seems as though it's a kleptocracy where the guy's company just happens to get a few hundred million dollars here. And he just happens to get a few hundred million dollars there.

No, no, you know what it is. It's a combination of luck and rolling up your sleeves. Mark Carney is the kind of guy who understands he's like a blue collar dude. He says if you want something done right, you got to do it yourself. And that's what he's doing with Brookfield. He says, okay, well, you know what, if we give somebody else this opportunity or if we put it out in the open market and say, who wants to bid on this, or if we just let the free market handle it themselves, well, I don't think it's going to go right.

I need to make sure that it happens and it happens correctly. and that's why every single time I make a fucking announcement, the share price goes up. Get her done, Mark. Good on you. Here's the score card, okay? So she was demanding nine things. Yes.

I'm going to ask. This was her deadline. This was her deadline. I'm going to ask two's. Okay. Foil and gas corridor access. Yes or no? potentially by 2040

so no repeal b sick bell c 69 no well they've talked about it but no lift the bc tanker ban potentially looking at the idea

of amending it with no eliminate the emissions cap yes scrap the clean electricity regulations yes and single use plastic

bands. Nope. The turtles are still safe. All of the turtles in and around red deer are still safe. Drop the net zero car mandate. Yeah. I think so. Recurrent return carbon tax oversight to Alberta. Technically yes. They said you can do this as long as you agree to do it exactly how we're going to fucking tell you to do it. So in theory, yes. In actual. the fuck no. And federal censorship of energy companies. I haven't heard anything about that.

I actually didn't even know that was one of the nine, if I'm being honest, that I read, is this, is that right? That was one of the nine? Huh.

Yes. I, I don't remember that. So a little over 50%. Daniel Smith says we got, she got seven. Here's Daniel Smith. Right?

This is, it's the bare fucking minimum. This is, you are being an asshole. And here's nine ways that you guys are being assholes. We need you to stop being assholes. And they said, like, like this is some kind of a pawn stars thing.

Best I can do is four. I'm going to go out on a limb. It's a negotiation. It's not a fucking negotiation. This is, you guys have been an assholes for a decade. If you want us to still consider ourselves part of this fucking country, you'll stop being assholes.

Because if we're in this together, we're not being assholes. assholes to each other. We could disagree, but just stop being an asshole. Ezra Levant. No, not Ezra Levant. I don't think it was Ezra. I think it was another journalist asked Daniel Smith if she thought this would end the Alberta independence movement. And she thought as long as they play ball, Ottawa, Kearney, that they have the ability to take the wind out of the sales. Your thoughts, too? Well, you know what? Call me a cynic, but I'm not going to wait until 2040 to decide whether I'm full on separatist or not.

So I'm going to say that you disagree. I fucking disagree vehemently. This is bullshit. And I thought that she was very, I'm mad because she gave me hope. That's part of it. That's a big part of it, if I'm being honest. See, I looked at this and I'm like, you know what?

This is the same woman who broke my heart in 2015. 15 when she crossed the floor. But hey, you know what? She lays out and a completely fair and reasonable set of requirements. Basically just quit being a dick. And they said, you know what? We're only, we're going to go down to just the tip. Do you know where just the tip lead, Sean?

Just the tip ends with you getting fucked again. All right? Yes, every man knows or just, every woman knows We're just the tip leads too. Okay. And so this is, this is what's happening is that the deadline came and went. Oh, hey, we're still hopeful. We're still hopeful.

At what point is she going to make a stand? Because it's not as though she's taking a ridiculous stance here. Quit being an asshole is a fairly, well, it's, it's not that difficult an ass. and that's only asked and they said we'll only just be a bit the the the liberal side of this is they're not happy um you know like there's a whole bunch of people here's here's one of them uh sorry building a pipeline without indigenous and bc agreement is a territorial insult not to mention there's nothing green about a pipeline the rest is total spin and it makes zero financial sense as the whole world moves away from fossil fuels massive fail and then i just want to scroll down because here what what are you smoking oil consumption by region it's going up and up and up and up and uh the world isn't moving away from from no no that that graph keeps moving up into the right um here's okay here's here's the one caveat i will give is that nobody fucking likes this except for Brookfield uh,

Brookfield likes this. Okay. But nobody, nobody likes this. Like none of the people that this is supposed to help steward the, the governance of think this is a good idea. None of them. And so,

you know, Sherry de novo, who has absolutely shit takes on everything. And 222 minutes, who has takes on shit, aren't completely. lockstep on this and that's a little weird and I'm wondering because you know how like a really fair deal is one where everybody's a little bit pissed off you know because if one guy was like oh

that was a great deal that was an awesome deal the other guy's like that deal was shit it probably was a shit deal for that guy and nobody very rarely do people walk away and they're both like oh this was a wonderful deal this was a great deal but typically a fair deal is usually one where both sides aren't totally happy with it but at the same time so I'm giving myself a little bit of wiggle room here down the road I guess because that that kind of does make me want to pause but at the same time if everybody in the country is like what the fuck are you doing it might just be you well so what what what benefit did if you looked at what sorry just real quick if Daniel Smith was looking down the barrel of signing this memorandum of understanding it would be a hell of a lot better for her to just post it and be like this is what mark carney wants us to sign we've been trying to negotiate this for months which by the way she shouldn't have fucking budged on the nine that's the bare minimum that's the bare minimum she shouldn't have budged on any of it but even though she did

she should have just been like this is what we're being asked to go along with and then let Carney deal with the backlash over it and then and then she can jump in at a later point and have a strengthened bargaining position why she did this completely baffles me well maybe you'll get to ask her at some future date uh why are you smiling slyly is she going to like stop by a visit me at some point and i don't know about this you're gonna i show up of my birthday No, I, um, uh, one of the things that came out is, uh, Stephen Gabo resigns from cabinet and protests. Yeah, Stephen Gabalds.

He didn't like it because it's signaling, uh, that oil and gas isn't going away, right? That's a signal. Here's the thing. We all know it signals. If you come up with a 15 year timeline on a loosely written memorandum of understanding within one confederation, the only thing that signals is that nothing. and is going to ever get fucking built in this place ever again. Do you want anything else on the memorandum of understanding?

Sorry, I'm a little amped up. Well, I mean, I don't know. On the plus side, there's signals that say, okay, we're going to try and build a project. But then we take a step back and you go, Now you have to have, I think, quote me, can somebody please tell me if I'm wrong? Too is probably telling them wrong. You need BC to sign off on it.

You need First Nations to sign off on it. You probably needed First Nations, no matter what, in our climate anyways, the federal government isn't going to pound through anything at this point in our current Canadian climate without their written approval of it. And I don't know, maybe there's a way through this other, a different way, but at least in one breath, at least there's a direction that, hey, we're going to try this. But then you give a 15 year timeline and you go, I mean, we've got a 15 year timeline. I'm going to be closing in on 60 by the time this thing is even.

We've got a 15 year timeline. And as a gesture of goodwill in the meantime, Alberta has agreed to up their carbon tax to $130 a tonne. this is where I wish we had Shane gets in here we should have we should invite a Shane back because I can't yell at change yet I can't really yell at change well you gotta work on that

you got to work on that actually you know what that's a good point because Shane literally you can seem to yell at me just fine Shane Shane was in here going you know what we talked about great cup and this is probably why he was unwilling to talk about it

last week. It's just loose. It's a loose timeline, right? People need to be understanding. Okay. People have been understanding, I think. And now they have a memorandum memorandum of understanding. They're, they're in discussions about the tanker ban off the Vancouver or BC coast. They're in discussions, but what does discussions mean? And I think, well, it's people want to see firm action of like, it's over and we're going to allow this to happen. Right? That, that would, and here's the timeline. By April next year, we're going to up our carbon tax, okay, but the tanker ban goes away and some different things start happening immediately.

There's some pretty easy hardball you could play with BC on this. You say, look, okay, that's fair enough. You don't want this to happen. Fair enough. Our federal GDP is going to go down by such and such amount. So you need to pay for that. And all of the equalization. I'd like to see

how twos would try to yell at me. Motherfucker, every time we talk on the phone, I yell at you. We just end up like, for people listening, that's Vesper. That's BESPR.

Hey, BESPR. Okay, it's just, like, you say, okay, all of the money that Alberta would be paying an equalization because of this, it's now on you. Yeah, you want hardball politics.

Yes, I want hardball politics with the socialist idiot British Columbia after I'm not I'm not saying you should respect that you're ready for hardball at this point you're ready for hardball I've got whoa I'm just I'm just pointing out that's what you want you want fast balls at the head that's what you

it's time I want somebody to get kicked in the dick over this all right shall we move on to rapid fire is there anything else from a moratorium of understanding No, I think that's about it All right

Oh, oh, actually, sorry, real quick I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is on me This is on twos We've been going half an hour You've been yelling at me for half an hour Welcome to mashup 186 Toos is a little fired up Okay, so Gabe all quit

And then you had Nathaniel Erskinezkin Smith openly criticizing in a video he put out the budget All right now do you remember a couple weeks ago when all of the mainstream media we just talked about CBC specifically but there was a full on court press from the mainstream media talking about Pierre Pollyev and is it falling apart for him and is it his leadership style and all this stuff well hey gay balls just quit are you going to have are you going to have a whole bunch of socialist idiots and stupid blue glasses on CTV power play doing a panel discussing whether or not

Stephen Gave Balls is indicative of Mark Carney's leadership style? I feel like we should. And here, Vesper says, Tuesday wants a world where he gets everything he wants and gift wrap, totally irrational position. All I'm asking for is the rest of Canada to stop being an asshole. That's it.

That's it. I don't think that's, I think that is a fairly rational position. I don't require the gift wrap, but after a decade, of this bullshit, it would be fucking nice. You know what I want to have? I want to have a meme where it's

just a little stick and prodding twos, because that's what Vesper is doing right now. He's just reaching out with a little stick and just poking. And then every time we almost get to rapid fire, he reaches back out and pokes just one more time just to see if there's anything else there. There is. Tews

is upset with the deal, the memorandum of understanding. It's a bad deal. It's a horrible deal. It's the worst deal in the history of the world. All right, rapid fire. All right. Train has

derailed near Champion, Alberta. You want to show the video? Yeah. Check this out. So, there's Champion. For those of you who don't know where it is, it's kind of over by what's the Vulcan.

It's a little bit south of Vulcan. And it derailed. And I just, I wish there was some kind of a safer way that we could transport things in this country. Maybe we could have a memorandum of understanding about that. Former grade 8 teacher who sent nude images to students sentenced to four years. Yeah. What do you think about that, John?

Um, I don't know. I mean, what do you know what I'm going to say? good no well i assume that you're going to take some kind of misogynist stance on it and discuss whether you know how hot she is and whether these guys were actually lucky or not um but the big takeaway from this and this is this is actually a really important fucking thing to note in this article jennings pleaded guilty earlier this month to six charges involving three boys including child luring invitation to sexual touch and making child sex abuse and exploitation material referred to as child pornography in the criminal code until recently.

The criminal code has now changed that it's not called child pornography anymore. They just came up with a gentler way to describe it so that it's not quite as stark. I think we need to go back to hardball on this too, Sean. Canada, 2025. Alberta tries to legislate ban on lawsuits about AIMCO losses. The Alberta government is proposing new legislation to prevent public sector pensions from suing the Alberta Investment Management Corp for decisions made before November 2024. Bill 12, the Financial Status Amendment Act introduced in the Alberta legislature Tuesday aims to solve a problem for the government that has existed since 2020 when AIMCO lost $2.1 billion in trading. the local authorities pension. There's a whole bunch here. I've been trying to recover. All these pension plans have been trying to recover about 1.3 billion in losses

since the via arbitration. And a court of King's bench ruling from 2023 found that AIMCO and the Alberta government would both be held liable for the losses if the pension plans were successful in their arbitration case. And so on Tuesday, finance minister Nate Horner said the legislation is required to protect Alberta taxpayers. There's no extra fun at AIMCO to cover something like this. He said during a news conference at the Alberta legislature, it would fall on the backs of Alberta

taxpayers, and we're talking about $1.3 billion minimum. We've had lots of conversations about the boring the province is already undertaking, and it's something we're not willing to entertain. So this is probably going to be a gross oversimification from somebody who doesn't fully understand all of it. but AIMCO handled the investments for the public pension funds and they had invested in a whole bunch of green shit and then that lost money and so now the pension funds are trying to say well the government of Alberta needs to give us the money that was lost in these bad investments and I have very little sympathy for the public sector and I get you know it's not a bad investment too here what's not a bad investment probably a little precious metals yeah i mean here's well it's maybe maybe maybe um co should head over to silver gold bull go talk to them well i mean i mean i bought uh last summer i bought a bunch of silver at what was it 40 bucks an ounce

72 today 72 so in ballpark a year and a half i think it's probably a little bit less i've almost doubled my money actually i'm i should check the charts i you know i know better than no it's 74 75 here i'm going to pull this up i'm rich there's there's the chart 78 84 today I'm low. I said 72, it's 78, 84 today. Now, where is that line? Where is it at 40? At 40? A year ago. Thursday, November 28th, 24. I bought it at the very end of that graph, and now it's at this end of the graph.

The first time I had, I was just going to say, as somebody who's made a lot of stupid investments over the years, and declined to make really intelligent. intelligent investments. I remember when I was looking at Air Canada stocks when there were 78 cents and I was like I should just liquidate everything and put it all into there. And then I didn't. And Air Canada is probably what, 16, 20 bucks a share right now. And I was looking at it at 78 cents and saying I should just put every egg in this basket because the government won't let it fall. And I didn't. And I bought, I used to have a whole bunch of Activision shares that I sold a few weeks before they fucking skyrocketed. I've done this so many times. And by far, the most sane and almost insane in how well it went investment

is precious metals. Well, I had, when I had Daniel Smith for the first time, Premier Smith in the studio for the first time, I wasn't going to give her a silver coin. And then she's like, I could take a silver coin. What's it worth?

And I remember it was like $38 at that time. Maybe $42. No, it wasn't $42. It was just under 40. and so that's what a year and a half ago something like that anyways silver gold bowl dot cae folks um yes that is a shameless plug for somebody who supports the show and it's supported this show they were sponsors on the uh uh federal election election live screen yes FBI sees an 18 million Mercedes from canadian drug pin i'm going to pull up this car just so people can see it okay

there it is the saga of ryan wedding the former olympic snowboarder who competed for team canned over two decades ago, has been heating up for a spell, standing accused of running a massive international drug empire, wedding has been sought by the U.S. FBI, while being compared to guys like El Chapo and Pablo Escobar in terms of his alleged

narcotics activity. And here's one of the cars they seized. That's actually a pretty nice fucking car. I mean, imagine you have an 18 million dollars of fuck you money. That's pretty good.

but yeah if if I have an $18 million car that I got through some sort of shady means and I've got to go on the lamb and I don't mean it the way Scottish people say that if I've got to go on the lamb

I am probably going to hide it someplace clever probably not buried dude if you're buying $18 million cars you don't care you just don't care you probably have you got way too much money Boy, you take out your wallet and pull out another $18 million card. Probably.

Probably. Yeah, probably. Anti-corruption police looking into Quebec liberals as internal crisis shakes party, a story published last week in the journal, the Montreal, revealing alleged text messages from unidentified parties suggested that some members, oh, sorry, suggesting some members who supported Rodriguez during the leadership race received cash rewards. Well, isn't that interesting? Pablo Rodriguez

formerly had even while Justin Trudeau was in cabinet had the best hair in the entire parliament now trying his hand at Quebec politics provincially and there may be a scandal afoot

believe it or not there may be some corruption in Canadian politics I was just going to hear so people people of this show should know who this is, but just in case they've forgotten. There he is. There he is.

Pretty decent hair. He looks like a 90-year-old joker. Actually, he also looks like a 90-year-old joker. Federal government's 10-day $1.5 billion fiscal year spending

spree between March 22nd and March 31st, 2025. The end of the federal government's fiscal year, federal department spent 382 million on supplies and $1.1 billion on equipment and machinery with the Department of National Defense racking up the biggest bill at $771 million. This is insane. This is, oh, it's the end of the fiscal year.

It's that classic sort of thing you see in big organizations, including. If you don't spend it, you lose it. If you don't use it, you lose it. Just like what Steve Correll said in the 40-year-old version. If you don't use it, you lose it. And they're like, oh, well, we've got one and a half billion dollars to get rid of by the end of next week. Let's buy some fucking coffee makers. Well, there's a whole bunch of things they spent money on.

Some of the big bills, $32 million for bombs and missiles. What was another one here? 12 million for general dynamics land system listed as non-military motor vehicles, including trailer, $29 million to Irving shipbuilding for ships, boats, auxiliary vessels, maritime, right? Of course that's it. Remember when they used to be the Brookfield in Canada? Correct. Just a cool $29 million.

Chinese immigrants struggling to obtain. Vespers's language twos, my ears are bleeding. I actually had somebody complaining to me a little while ago that I wasn't swearing enough on the show anymore. So I'm doing my best to ameliorate that. Chinese immigrants struggling to obtain security clearances for government jobs. Senator Juan Paw Wu told Parliamentary Committee that he's hearing of immigrants from China with marginal connections to ruling Chinese communities, Communist Party, or other government bodies who are finding difficult to obtain security clearances for Canadian public sector jobs.

Mr. Wu told the committee, I wonder if we can also think about how we frame the national security problem in terms of young Canadian people. They happen to be immigrants. They want a career in the public service working for an MP or a sender and they're blocked. They're blocked for almost seemingly no reason. No, actually, that's not what it said.

What it said was immigrants from China with marginal connections to the ruling Chinese Communist Party. That's literally what it says at the start of the article. So it's not for no reason. No, no. Then I was going to say, Can I finish? Can I finish? Am I allowed to finish on this side?

Earlier this year, a public inquiry into foreign... Oh, my God. Do I need to mute you, Mike? Earlier this year, a public inquiry into foreign interference issued its final report on meddling in Canadian politics by countries such as China. The most active perpetrator of foreign interference targeting Canada's democratic institutions, the PRC views Canada as a high priority target. China. It's literally, that's what the report said. Yes. Okay. And now this guy, Senator Yuan Paw Wu, okay? The only time he's ever making

speeches, the only time he's ever in the news, as far as I know, the only thing that he has ever publicly discussed is China. This is a Canadian senator who's from China, who takes a special interest in Chinese things. Now, look, it may seem a little bit suspicious. You look at it and you say, well, isn't that weird? I mean, China has said that they infiltrated our governments. You know, we never found out who the nine names are. And this guy who's from China, the only thing, even though he's a Canadian senator,

literally the only thing he ever gives a flying fuck about is the red star. This is so weird. Nokia breaks ground on a new campus in Ottawa. Here, I'm going to pull this up. There you go. Okay, nice little, how you doing? Readers added a little context. Nokia's Ottawa project received $72 million in public money for roughly $340,000,

uh, sorry, 340 jobs, a subsidy at $200,000 per job. The leading, uh, quoted the leading the global tech race framing is misleading when the government is just buying jobs from a forum firm at a very high taxpayer. cost isn't that funny you know we're just we're coming in and we're going to lead the way on all of this stuff the only people who want to invest in canada it's it's not an actual investment it's them saying if you come here and you put your name on a building we will make it worth your while that's not an investment that's that's like when celebrities will make an appearance at your like you know like somebody who's in a few popular films in the 80s or 90s

Like, if you go to Stephen Seagal and you say, I'll give you $200 to come to my kids' birthday party, that's literally the state of investment in this country today. Premier is it under siege? I wanted a pony. Under siege was a good movie. Premiers, federal ministers urged Saskatchewan company to change U.S. export plans.

Last week we talked about Nutrient. Well, here it is again. Nutrient is pursuing the development of a new export facility at Port of Longview, Washington. The company estimates the cost of the build out to a total between 500 million and 1 billion U.S.D. Quoted, we need to be a welcoming environment. We need to drop some of the political rhetoric coming out of BC, Mo said, in fairness, this is Scott Moe. In fairness, that has already cost this investment of one port facility in the potash industry that's disappointed and it's not being part of Team Canada, BC Premier Abbey.

If you live in Saskatchewan, that resource is in the hands of Donald Trump. He may decide to put a tariff on Saskatchewan that passes out of the state of Washington. He may decide to close the border to Saskatchewan potash if he decides that Canada has done something that offends him. And so it puts Saskatchewan resources in a precarious place. And it denies British Columbians a chance for a port expansion. And then the Fort Transport Minister, Steve McKenna said,

I'm disappointed at this decision. We're hoping to persuade the company to change his mind. Good luck with that. Agricultural Minister Heath MacDonald called Nutriens the decision premature. Sure. So they're all weighing in. Yep. Yeah.

And actually another clip, it's not in here. But David Eby was very careful. And he said, you know, in my opinion, the reason why this happened was because Scott Moe was talking with Daniel Smith and Mark Carney about the memorandum of understanding,

which Scott Moe is not signatory on, by the way. And because of that, they never even bothered to reach out to David Eby about this. Here's the thing is this guy is, don't fucking build it we're not going to ship it that's that seems to be his policy on things he's made that fairly fucking clear lately then and then he wonders why he's not even in the room when the grownups are talking guess what you're at the kid table you are at the kid table in the

living room well everybody sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and you are the one who decided to sit there and furthermore there was some other stuff that came out about this uh in another article, it talked about how Nutrient had reached out to the federal liberal government about kind of bolstering the supply chain, the rail supply chain, heading out to the shipyards, and the federal government was uninterested in engaging in that. And so you've got a very, a very reasonable conclusion would be that David Eby wasn't involved in the talks because he's a fucking idiot. and that when they didn't reach out to the liberal government and got the cold shoulder,

they said, okay, well, we have other options. Madison, Jimmy claims self-defense, woman charged with second-degree murder in the death of Toneo Cantell after triple shooting near Turtelford, the update at the bottom said, according to CBC, Jimmy admits to shooting Cantell, but says it was in self-defense. She claims the shooting occurred during a violent confrontation of a farm near Turtleford, where three men were killed in a short span. According to Jimmy, Cantell had just shot her.

fiance, Dustin Roberts, and then threatened her and another woman with a firearm, leaving her no choice but to shoot him. After the incident, Jimmy drove with Cantell's girlfriend and another friend to Turtle for Garcy and P detachment to surrender. Police confirm the deaths of Cantell and a 30-year-old man from Big Island Lake

Cree Nation, or Cree territory, sorry, all from gunshot wounds, multiple firearms were seized and authorities say there are no other suspects or victims. Cantell had a criminal past, including gang-related offenses and had been wanted nationwide in 2020. two while on statutory release.

So, I mean, first off, why do we keep letting these people out of prisons? Secondly, this is the second story in about seven or eight years of somebody murdering a First Nations person in self-defense. And I wonder if we're going to see nearly as much uproar as we do about it here with this as we did. as we did when it was a guy on his farm. Well, the answer will be no. The answer is definitely going to be no. Because within six months of that other incident, you had that shooting outside of Bonneville,

where it played out exactly the same, where two people, a brother and sister, rolled up on a farm to steal a vehicle, which is exactly what happened the first time, except it played out that they killed the guy and then took his vehicle. Alfred Wagner, I think his name was. And one of them didn't serve time

and one of them was out in 13 months, if I recall correctly. Steve Odehouse is the next conservative campaign manager, Jenny Byrne, Byrne, is out of the conservative campaign manager for the next federal election. And Steve Othos is in, he's fresh off a provincial campaign

when in Newfoundland Labrador. he's um what was the other thing in here uh he has worked on federal conservative leadership races helping less than lewis in 2020 moved from party outsider to finishing a close third behind peter mackay and eventual winner erin o'toole um in 2020s was able to focus the united conservative party under daniel smith to win the alberto provincial election despite trailing the ndp just months before the vote your thoughts to us well the name says it all doesn't it outhouse Steve outhouse if this guy has been able to mount a serious career

with some successes and some failures but some notable successes with a name like outhouse this is like you know that old timey song where he says I know that I've fought tougher men but I really can't remember when you know that song a boy named Sue this is literally a boy name sue this guy grew up and he never changed it he never changed it he kept his name as steve outhouse his entire fucking life i feel like he's probably going to be able to go to the mattresses i don't have a lot of hope for the conservative party

but but a guy who willingly keeps his name as steve outhouse if anybody you should do it it's going to be him because he's probably a resilient bastard on this past weekend quick dick was in lashburn for the community fundraiser yep and he had he wrote a boy named sue to a boy named dick nice it was pretty good it's pretty good okay lloyd minster r cmp conduct traffic stop and sees illegal load estimated at seven point five million dollars on november 28th in the early morning hours Lloyd Minster, RC&P, you conduct a traffic stop

and a semi-truck traveling alongside, oh, sorry, along 44th Street in Lloyd-Mister. During this traffic stop, the driver is unable to provide police with the required documentation for the load of dishealing. After research and investigation,

Alberta RC&P have seized approximately 8.8 million unstapped tobacco cigarettes. The estimated street value is $7.65 million. And the driver of that truck's name, two's? Well, it's in Lloyd, so I'm guessing it's going to be something Newfee. Gerhant Singh.

Sing for my supper. Yeah. So, I mean, that happened. The resident of Surrey, B.C. There you go. You know, national news coming back home to Lloyd for you. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I saw that you had moved past a bunch of things. Maybe you missed them. Did you see anything about the 20,000 people who died in the past year on wait list for health care? Yes. Yes, it's coming up. Yep, yep. Let me get to the bottom of this.

Union leaders in Quebec denounce proposed labor law. They say unleashes chaos. Oh, have we done? No, we haven't done this. No, we haven't done that. This is almost be happy news. Union leaders from sectors across province gathered in Quebec City on Sunday to a new bill, they say,

could severely limit how unions are allowed to use their dues collected from their members. Quebec labor minister, Jean Boulet, tabled the bill. which proposes dividing union dues into mandatory and optional ones. Under the proposed law, any activities deemed to be outside of a union's primary mission wouldn't be eligible for financing via mandatory fees, but through optional ones only. Optional dues would also have to be approved through a majority vote before they could be collected.

It's a half measure, but it's a pretty solid half measure. So the thing about it is, is you've got all these unions spouting off on weird shit. Just the other day, PSAC was condemning the fact that the federal government is moving away from all of this gender-based international aid. You had Frank Hahn forever spouting off about Palestine, which, unless I'm missing something, doesn't really have a direct effect to the working conditions of the union members that he's representing and on fucking terrorio. And so there's a lot of stuff completely outside of things. arguably you could say that they're campaigning during elections would fall underneath this discretionary fees and who are the major who are the biggest spenders during political campaigns in this country unions every fucking time or or it'll be a pack that's funded by unions so

it's it's at arm's length but either way if they're not spending the money on doing stuff for the workers directly it needs to be something that people willingly pay into which i think is like i said it doesn't go as far as i'd like but this this would be a really positive step and so of course the unions are upset about it and they don't it's interesting that when they're talking to people about this do they go to like some guy at local 237 and say, hey, what do you think about this? He's like, man, I do not give a shit. I am just trying to make enough money to pay for my $7 craft dinner because inflation

has gone out of the window in this country, right? They never talk to them. They're like, oh, what do the unions think about this? Well, the unions hate it, obviously. can the post union reached deal in principle to end strike and lockout actions this saga could be coming to an end well there's literally nothing specific in here correct this is probably a hundred word article cape britain regional police chief robert walsh to retire january 1st isn't that interesting now for those of you who don't know this is the police chief in charge of administering the liberal government's trial gun buyback program, which technically isn't a buyback because nobody bought their guns

from the fucking government in the first place. You can't buy something back from somebody if you never sold it to them in the first place. The nomenclature is completely out to fucking lunch. You think it's related. I would say that because he's at the end of like a 35 year career or something like that. and and then he's his cousin is one of the ministers too or something i can't remember exactly how that works out but it was probably just this confluence of perfect everything where they

looked at it and said well this guy is going to be taking a lot of backlash for getting on board with us and in and in this bullshit but he's retiring he's going to be retiring anyway so you know it's um it's basically just putting a dummy up above the trench lines. We have the food professor. I don't know if anyone was following the candles. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Before we get into that.

What? We've got to talk about recall legislation. And, um, Alberta. I got a whole, I got a whole bunch of stuff coming. Just, I probably have it out of order. Just let me roll and you just go, we miss these things at the end. Just, just roll with it, too. I'm messing up your timeline. That's fine. That's fine. Okay?

It's super messed up. It's unbelievably messed up. We have shit for poor people. Who buys our shit? I don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. It's not healthy now that I know what the fuck is in it. Bioengineered meat. I don't want to get a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer. Sure. Let's just hear him say it. Went on an hour long tirade attacking the company's products and employees. before taking aim at its customers. And the former employee recorded it all. Eric Erickson shares that recording

and what the company is saying about it. We have shit for fucking poor people. Who buys our shit? And that's just part of an over an hour long rant, says former security analyst for Campbell's, Robert Garza of Monroe. I don't buy the f***ing out of this product. It's barely anymore.

It's healthy. Now that I don't have the in it, even in the kind of soup, I look at it. We could buy on. engineer me. I don't want to eat a a piece of chicken I came from a 3D printer.

You? Yeah. That was the former VP of Campbell's Soup, saying that it's for fucking poor people and it's bioengineered shit and he doesn't want to

buy a piece of fucking chicken that came out of a 3D fucking printer. That's Campbell's Soup. It's going to make you rethink buying Gamble soup, I think. You know, I've kind of wondered why, like, when you get the chicken noodle, and especially the cream of chicken, they're always like these perfect squares. And it's a little bit suspicious when you take something as varied as chicken meat that comes

in, you know, you got this over here and that over there, they're always the exact same shade and the exact same size, all these perfect little cubes. Well, now you know. Now I know, because it's a 3D fucking printer. Over 20,000 Canadians are dying while waitlisted for health care, a report from Second Street, Orr reveals that at least 23,746 patients died in Canada between April 2024 and March 2025 while waiting for the care they needed. 23,746.

Now, do you remember, there was this dark... You disappeared, too, I can't hear you. There you are. Do you remember there was this dark time in the country, ballpark like five years ago? Yes. Where, you know, everybody was all up in arms and all worried. Where one teenager died, but then they found out he had actually like stage four cancer

and a whole bunch of other things. Yeah, yeah, well, there was that. They put a mannequin in the video and yes, yes, I remember that time. Okay. Now, I remember certain people, there was this guy. I think his name was like Jag Meat, something. I can't really remember because he's sort of just dropped off the face of the earth. But he had said that if one person dies, it's too many.

And we've got 23,746, too many people dying on wait lists for the shit show that is health care in this country. and every time someone in a conservative uh province says because it's it's provincial and so the conservatives say that the leftists are screwing it up and the leftists say that the conservatives are screwing it up but it doesn't matter who the fuck is in charge every single province sucks at this carol scoby the taste taste changed about eight years ago i stopped buying it because the dog wouldn't eat it either talking about camels maybe the dogs are made donna did you tell them it wasn't like or maybe the dog knows. Well, here's the thing is that I'm thinking, you know, would it be better to get the off brand stuff? Like how many cases or how many situations where you look at like the no name

brand, you know, like, oh, well, this would actually be better than than the double the cost name brand something. Alberta allows doctors to toggle between public and private pay for surgeries. The UCP government has tabled a bill in Alberta legislature that would open the door for surgeons to charge patients for privately delivered procedures while keeping a foot in the public system and billing taxpayers. Surgical Services Minister Matt Jones says Bill 11, the Health Statutes Amendment Act, is about offering flexibility to doctors, reducing wait times, and giving Albertans an option to pay for procedures without having to travel out of province. If Tim Mowen was here, he would say that this is a step towards legalizing health care.

and so here's the thing is it's like the crazy hot scale you know where yeah have you ever seen like how I met your mother where Barney's talking about how yeah yeah yeah this is exactly it you're like okay so we're going to do a memorandum of understanding and as a sign of goodwill we're going to increase our provincial carbon tax to $130 a ton on the hope that we can probably get a pipeline built in the next 15 fucking years but we're also going to legalize health care like pick a lane okay but here's the thing is you've got you've got this is this is exactly what i was talking about so this is doreen rabbi md seriously okay so the headline is global editorial alberta's welcome health care heresy poll in canada consistently has

you know granted Canadian polls are garbage but polling Canada consistently has uh high support for health care reform people want it but there's certain people who definitely don't and they usually are the people who work in this or or benefit from it like the nDP so dorian rabbi md seriously global mail editors is this what you have to offer to the conversation if you try to frame the dual practice model in alberta as innovative and needed you have not been paying attention to what's happening here and then you've got sarah hoffman one thing that makes me so proud to be canadian when you talk to people who don't live here is our health care system. Instead of finding ways to make it better and more accessible for all,

Daniel Smith's trying to find ways to make it look like Trump's America. Because anytime you want to change anything in health care, they say it's, oh, America, America, America. And Sarah Hoffman, I don't think we should be taking health advice from somebody whose veins and arteries are probably coated with literal cream of chicken soup, Campbell's brand. Okay?

Nahed, didn't she? great guy to go to for any of this stuff. It's no surprise that over a third of UCP caucus has recall petitions filed against some scandal after scandal has left people with this government. Albertans want better. They deserve better. I'm getting ahead of myself slightly here.

But the point is that we're never talking. Whenever there's some proposed change to Canadian health care, they talk to the union people. They talk to some doctors. They talk to a couple nurses. If you go back to Sarah Hoffman's tweet, it says that we're, Canadian healthcare is like the gem of the world.

The article we read right before that was 23,000 people died waiting to get health services. Absolutely. Absolutely not, Hoffman. And here's the chance. And everybody knows it, too's. Everybody knows it. If the mainstream media wanted to actually frame this properly,

they wouldn't talk to the union reps. They wouldn't talk to the NDP fucking idiots. They would go talk to that woman who got the wrong leg cut off last year in Edmonton when she went in for that surgery where she was suffering for bed so long that they had to amputate her leg and then they cut off the wrong

fucking one. That's who they should talk to about health care reform. They should talk to the families because they can't talk to the actual people. They should talk to the families of people whose family members have died in fucking waiting rooms. They should talk to the people who walk out of the waiting rooms because they're sitting there waiting for

days on end. Literally if you actually want to have an honest conversation about what's broken in this place. You don't talk to the people failing to administer it. You talk to the people whose lives have been wrecked, ruined, cut short, or what the fuck ever by a bunch

of bureaucrats who accomplished nothing in this current state that we're in. Recall, you were bringing up Nahed Nihit. It's no surprise that over a third of the UCP caucus has recall petitions filed against them. Scandal after scandal has left people exhausted with this government. Albertans want better.

They deserve better. Thanks, Nahit. Yeah, so if we go to ElectionsLB.C.A. Current recall petitions, Demetrius Nicolitis, Angela Pitt, Nolan Dick, Miles McDougal, Richard McIver, Muhammad Yassine, Rajin Sa'i, R.J. Sigurdson, Dale Nally, Glenn Van Ditchkin, Jackie Lovely, Nathan Newdorf,

Jason Stephan, Searle Turton. So all that means. means, by the way, is that there's a local election that happens again. If that reaches the right amount of signatures and they are verified, then there's another election in that riding. Correct. I'm guessing out of all of this, at least one or two of them are going to come out to get

enough signatures, but no one's given me a good definitive reason as to why they want to recall that specific person or that, you know, whatever. like I I looked sorry I was looking at Nicolitis I was just like okay it says number of signatures required 16,000 okay so they need 16,000 and six in order to recall them and if you go back to that's in that writing right right in that writing sorry and he the new Democrats who are pushing this got 12,500 so they not only have to get the same turnout signature wise. is they had for the entire election plus basically 4,000. I mean, a little under 1,000 on top of that. They need another 20% more than everybody who didn't vote for him in the last election. Yes. Now, other interesting thing is that Gil McGowan, who is heading this up.

Oh, by the way, correction. Last week I had said, when Shane had said that Gil McGowan was a form of, candidate for the NDP and I said well technically he was just running for the leadership way back in the day he actually did try and run for the NDP he tried to run in 2015 he was a candidate so I'm sorry Shane you were right and I was not but Gil McGowan says to be clear we are not busing in people for any of the recall campaigns we are not hosting any GoFundMe campaigns either the premier is straight up lying show your proof Danielle you're just trying to create a pretext for moving the goalposts to protect yourself.

And public interest, Alberta, People's Bus to Calgary, RSVPA, SAP, everyone is welcome. This Saturday, we're taking folks to send a message to our friend MLA Lick Nikolaitis. Join us. Hop on the People's Bus to Calgary. We're heading south to send him a message loud and clear. Tews, are you pointing out that they're lying? They would never do that.

they never never technically i'm not the one pointing out that they're lying it's freedom honey now for those of you who don't know they also have a podcast if you're all caught up on us you should check them out here here's uh here's blacklocks okay managers admit they faked $32,707 construction site for tv cameras you remember two's talking about this i remember two's talking about this at mark carney's housing announcement homes in backtrue have since been dissembled, a disassembled. They're actually admitting now. Yes, yes, we did do that.

So everybody who called them out at the time of it happening. No, no, no, no, that's not what happening. Now, yes, yes, that's, they never lie to us. It's a right-wing conspiracy theory. It's a right-conferency theory. And then it's not happening. And then it's happening, but it's a good thing. Just trust big brother.

They got you, they got you, they got your best interested heart folks. Yeah. China, China gave a grant of $6.68 million to Tonga to rebuild the bridge. $6.8 million, by the way, coincidentally, is almost exactly how much we gave China in foreign aid last year. We're still giving foreign aid to China. We have given them over $600 million in the last 20 years. and they are giving foreign aid to other countries. I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that

if the charity that you're donating to is donating to another charity, you could probably just skip the middleman because, A, it's added layers of bureaucracy and B, they don't fucking need the money. Doug Ford, today I signed a historic agreement with Chief. Achnie Pinescom and leaders from Martin Falls First Nations to build the roads to the ring of fire. Our agreement will see shovels in the ground by next summer

connecting Martin Falls to the provincial highway network for the first time and unlocking the incredible economic potential of the vast critical mineral reserves in northern Ontario. Okay. Three things here. One, it's an historic, Doug Ford, you fucking numpty. two, I have a conspiracy theory that somewhere they just go around putting shovels into the ground

whether the project's going or not. They can be like, yeah, we got shovels in the ground. And then if you actually went to that site, there would just be a shallow pit dug that somebody threw a couple fucking spades in. Okay, third thing, look at this picture. You're showing up for the announcement

of you getting a whole bunch of free money from the fucking government in a full on track suit look at the third guy from the right you can't put a pair of fucking slacks on or even some jeans maybe hey maybe to defend him maybe he was the guy putting the shovel in the ground maybe he was working and they pulled in a working man that's why his

fucking sweatsuit has grass stains on the knee look at it he's got grass stains Well, I don't know. Doug Ford probably allows it. I mean, he's the guy who does just about everything that hilarity and comedy enjoys. You know, Dougie old Ford. More than one.

This is CTV. Okay, let me pull this up. Here you go. Okay. More than one merchant. Yes, fair enough. This is the CEO of Spotify. pointing this out.

Go ahead. More than one merchants. Use Shopify to sell goods online. Yes. This is our mainstream media. This is an actual clip from CTV where the caption is, more than one merchants use Shopify

to sell goods online. No fucking shit. Okay. Here is Time Person of the Year. And right now, artificial intelligence resurges in Time Magazine's Person of the Year odds at 36% chance. It's the frontrunner. So, Polly Market, someone did one on who will be named Person of the Year for Time magazine. And the frontrunner right now is AI.

We live in a goofy world. full of goofy news. Yes. You want to show the Pokemon brawl in Costco, Ottawa? I mean, I don't know, maybe kind of. Yes, I absolutely want to show a bunch of grown-ass men

fighting each other over fucking cards. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. This isn't two people fighting. This is a bench brawl. They're fighting outside the store.

They're fighting inside the store. And apparently Olivia Chow was there. And apparently that was Olivia Chow. We should make that one of our sound clips. Oh, that is a good voiceover of a Pokemon bra. So Costco released a bunch of Pokemon cards. And people decided to scrap over them. show uh from that video show the most alberton man in the world i enjoyed this one

he once caught an nDP supporter trying to give puberty blockers to a child he politely dealt with it in the most alberton way possible he once drove from calgary to edmonton in 45 minutes traffic was heavy that day he went hunting with marty up north they convinced a grizzly To support an independent Alberta, he refused to do an interview with CTV. He said he has had more insightful conversations with his cattle. He once went on Joe Rogan to talk about Alberta's independence. They ended up talking about bow hunting for hours. He knows that a memorandum of understanding simply means more liberal excuses to hold Alberta back.

He was the first one to show up at the independence rally in Edmonton. And the last to leave. He says Alberta's independence isn't radical. Staying in this mess is. He tried to explain the oil sands to folks from B.C. They asked if it was a music festival. He doesn't want to fix Canada. He wants to free Alberta.

He is the most Albertan man in the world. I'll say it again. Marty looked sharp in that, right? Like I'm like, holy crap, that, that kind of looked at Marty. I wish I would have seen that before because Marty was literally just in studio with his buddies talking,

and the hunting group talking about hunting. That's great. I enjoyed that video. I mean, here's the thing with Albertan separatism is it's not that we want to fix Canada. It's not that we want to say that what Canada is doing is wrong. We just want to say that it's stupid and we don't want to be part of it anymore. like i'm not saying i'm not saying you guys need to stop doing all this dumb shit i'm just

saying go do it over there and leave us to fucking go our own way uh bukelly from el salvador uh chicago mayor uh brandon johnson says we cannot incarcerate incarcerate our way out of violence it's racist bu kelly responded you can literally incarcerate your way out of violence that's precisely why incarceration exists in the first place yeah and look just just as an example just look at this murder rate versus so by the way be kelly is the president i want to say of el salvador he's he's he's he's he's el hafe in in al salvador regardless and here's a graph of their murder rate versus their incarceration rate and the two graphs go like this for those of you listening i'm showing i i guess i'm being redundant because

I'm showing what the graphs do with my arms while also showing the graphs. And the people listening can't be either one of them. But one goes up and the other goes down. And like, yeah, quite, it's not like it's a small decline and a small increase. It's, it's quite stark. Yeah. So anyways, the, the Chicago mayor says, we can't do this. And then the guy who's literally spent the last couple of years doing that exact same thing says,

motherfucker the fuck you cannot we just did it and this is how we did it and it's this simple that's the worst part about a lot of this shit is it's not as though you need some really complicated solution okay we need to have this over here we need to do this

no no no you want a good memorandum of understanding we're going to stop cock blocking you boom done sign it at the bottom 13% of Canadians don't believe we produce potash this is a yeah you can pull up poll if you want to. This is a

point of it is, is that would you say Canada is a major, minor or non-producer of each of the following in the global context? And blah, blah, blah, blah. Third one down. Potash, 13% of people who responded to this thought that we were a non-producer

of potash. They probably don't even know what potash is. It's, it's isn't that the purple stuff I used to put in my drinks as a kid. Here's Pennsylvania

Governor Shapiro signs bill prohibiting hair discrimination. I get where they're coming from with this, but they're fucking wrong. Sometimes it's really important. Case and point. Ginger's. One other polling thing,

just in case. The main role of government is to And then here are the options. Create equal opportunity so that everyone can compete on their own to be the best they can be. Redistribute wealth so that the poor slash disadvantage is to have more than they should have or would have if left on their own. Those are the two options. They're both completely fucking wrong. Completely fucking wrong.

You need to protect individual rights. You need to protect your borders. you need to have a justice system so that people can have complaints people can uh you need to have a way for people to mediate disputes and you need to keep people from murdering each other so okay three things border keep people from murdering each other and have a judic a judicial system where people can mediate disputes

which by the way um who did you have on the podcast the other day Oh, it was Bruce Party. Bruce Party when he was talking about that. And I'm like, holy shit, he's going straight Milton Friedman. That Bruce Party, Kaelin Ford thing was just a poetic dance back and forth. He's saying a lot of great stuff. And she's like, oh, well, yeah, I think that's totally wonderful. And you're talking about something that would be great if only short lived.

And I'm like, oh, it was just the dueling back and forth. Yeah, I quite like that. You stand in the 99%. I've probably gotten no less 100 texts on that one. I've had one person not enjoy it. The other 99 really enjoyed it. Did the one person who didn't enjoy it wear a cowboy at? No, I have no idea.

I couldn't see the person texting. Unemployment son dressed as dead mom to collect her pensions in Mrs. Dopefire scam while hiding her body at home. An unemployed son impersonated his dead mother to collect thousands of euros a year from her pension in what Italian authorities have dubbed Mrs. Doubtfire scandal. The 56-year-old man who was not identified carried out the ruse after his mom died three years ago as he concealed her mummified corpse at their family home. He stuffed her corpse in a sleeping bag and stashed it in the laundry room at their house.

Yeah. Never reported it. And then whenever he had to go cash her pension checks, he would dress up like her. So he'd put on the old lady wig and a whole bunch of makeup and probably a shit ton of perfume and a dress or whatever. And then he'd go in and be like, hello, dearie, I'm here to cash my check. And this went on for three years at over $60,000 a year. That's a pretty good job. I don't think this guy's come up on here before.

Stephen Pumwasi, I don't know if we brought any of his stuff up before. But anyways, he says, you that you should have him on the podcast. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's why I say, like, like this name comes up a ton as I should have them on the podcast. We've tried reaching out. We've done a bunch of things to no avail just yet. So if anybody knows how to get a hold of this guy, I'd love to hook that up. He says Toronto New Home sales probably nothing. The blue spec was last month, by the way.

I'll pull that up a little bigger. Look at that blue spec. It is something like a tenth of the 20 year rolling average. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Trying to fuck. Slender man stabbed, caught after cutting off ankle monitor, a judge let her out 30 years early on parole despite warnings and not to.

So 10 years ago, this crazy person thought that the slender man had told her or him, I'm not sure exactly how it is, to kill a classmate. And the judge let her out 30 years early. And so what does she do? She cuts off her ankle monitor and then tries to kill people again. Because if there's anything trans people like more than anything else, it's cutting stuff off of themselves. National Post columnist Jamie. That was a penis joke, Sean.

Yes, I know. Sarconic. This government survey doesn't let you select. Oh, here, I'll pull up the government survey. How about that? Here we go. Well, just government of Canada is seeking input on improving, youth employment, okay?

And it doesn't let you select immigration as a reason for high youth unemployment. It's not on the list, even though the banks have said it's a major factor. You know, who else says it's a major factor? Literally everyone. And so section three, youth employment questions. From your perspective, what are the biggest obstacles facing young people in finding and maintaining employment? Select top three that apply.

Lack of entry level jobs due to economic conditions. That's presumptive, poorly worded question, by the way, or poorly worded answer. Lack of entry-level jobs due to changes in the workplace, including, for example, increased use of artificial intelligence by employers, lack of work experience and work-related skills, e.g., teamwork, leadership, etc., challenges in the job search experience, e.g., sending many applications and not hearing back from employers, skills mismatched, gaps in education, lack of employment, supports, and career guidance for youth and students, other barriers, e.g. mental health issues, transportation costs, access to affordable dependent care, work schedules for youth, or next one is other. So you have two different options for other in that, by the way.

And none of them are the obvious fucking answer. Porn no longer subject to Canadian content quotas, says CRTC. Ottawa will no longer be imposing Canadian content quotas on the pornography sector according to new guidance guidelines released by the Canadian Radio Television Telecommunication Commission buried in recent update to CRTC protocols is the agency's announcement that it will no longer be requiring certification of adult programming. In other words, any program devoted to depicting explicit sexual activity will no longer need to ensure minimum quota of Canadians, either in front or behind the cameras, Rather, it's determined via an elaborate point system that, among other things, requires a producer and at least one of the lead performers to be able to prove Canadian citizenship. It's interesting that it said lead performers. This is not a serious country.

We have a government agency who's actively debating how much government oversight needs to be involved in having Canadian. Canadian pornographical content. You want to show the video of the dancing? Yeah, I do. Of course I do. If this doesn't make you cheery, nothing else will. For those of you listening, in the background,

it says Garden Grove Unified School District, and there's a whole bunch of fucking suits around a big panel table, and they're getting, an authentic Native American dance from somebody who's dressed to the fucking nines, unlike that guy in Ontario. And around.

And then here's a running man. And then we've got Michael Jackson Slide, followed by Cadillac Ranch. So, this authentic Native American dance, Crip Walk, Running Man, Michael Jackson Slide, Cadillac Ranch. I'm going to go out on a limb and call this cultural appropriation. Funny thing about it is that I called it cultural appropriation on Twitter, and I had multiple comments

saying that those dance moves had been stolen from First Nations people so they were just taking them back the running man was stolen from First Nations people along with all of the land that we apparently acknowledge sometimes Thomas the Cazic its fashion will be to be forever Canadian

he's selling merch he is selling merch so if you want some Forever Canadian merch Because we don't want to be the 51st state You can get this ball cap With the Forever Canadian logo This wonderful ball cap In the colors red, white, and blue

Because we don't want to be the 51st state Are you saying mixed signals? I'm saying the guy's a fucking idiot show some uh you got sports desk nest let's uh let's talk uh some sports okay give me a half a sec while this reloads this is a guy shoveling there's no sound here but he is shoveling all the way to the edge of the 18 yard box and then walking it back towards the sidelines

he shovels away from the sidelines to the end of the 18 yard box for this soccer game and then carries the snow back towards the sidelines this is the state of this world that we live in Sean

here's another one so a dude won the strong man gains okay and then Riley Gaines said, here's a picture of him standing there

on top of the podium while the woman who got second place looks pretty fucking pissed off and she points out that the South Park meme has been recreated when Strong Woman that great episode where there's

where Strong Woman enters the Strong Man competition and the mach man ran he savage ends up winning it and in the interview uh the interviewer says good luck out there and he says look is for dudes this is literally a recreation of it now this is i think probably the best part of the whole thing the audio is a little bit hard to clear or here but the woman who got second place who's pissed off I guess it doesn't even show up at all.

But she says, this is bullshit. Can we go? And then the plot thickens. Strong Man Games World Championship says they were unaware that Jamie Booker was male pretending to be a woman when he competed in the women's category and have now disqualified him and stripped him of his titles. They released a formal statement. Now, I think it's incredibly hard to believe that they didn't know that that was a dude, considering the fact that April Hutchinson, who's been on the show before,

literally got suspended from competing for pointing out that that was a dude. Yep. Okay. Oilers kind of been having a tough go of it over the past few weeks. Apparently they have signed Bonnie Blue on as their new goalie. Management says she lets fewer guys score than Skinner does. Oilers goal-tending has sunk to a level we haven't seen in 45 years. Oilers 8.60 team save percentage is their lowest through 25 games

since their inaugural NHL season in 1979-80. And somebody makes the valid point that goalies look like this then. This, this goalie, standing like this. is just as bad as the oiler's current goalie. Or is good. You know what? Yes. You know, this guy lets in just as many goals as Skinner does.

Skinner, it's not even a five hole anymore. It's a six hole. This has just got to be so embarrassing. It's got to be so difficult for any sort of an Oilers fan out there. I mean, I don't really know anybody who's still on that train. but it's going over a cliff here is what if stewart skinner had an alberta accent well uh chris cuthbert's at 87 stocks in your last 89 shot as a team Craig Simpson five of the last six one goal or less what do you make of those numbers yeah like you're right uh i'm absolutely uh dialed the fuck

in right now uh you see me out there today buddy i'm looking like 88 grant fur and we're about a fucking party like him too buddy i'm getting Shwack. Perry's got a big bag. They're chanting your name. You've heard that before. Have you heard of the night chanting we want the cup? Fucking right. Who the fuck do you think started that chant, Gino? Have you ever been yelled at by Connor McDavid, man?

I fucking heard him the first time. I'm digging the fuck in right now, Gino. Stuart, thank you. You're not out of time, but I am. Enjoy the big group. Want to do a bomb? I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Stuart Skinner is probably just about out of time. I mean, they're bringing in a motivational speaker.

The Edmonton Oilers now desperate to turn this season around have hired professional motivational speaker Matt Foley to speak to the team about the consequences of poor decisions. I think this would be a great skit. That would be a great skit. What do you want to do? What do you want to do when you get drafted in the NHL? well i want to go live by in a van down by the river well you have a whole lot of time to live in a van down by the river when you're living in a van down by the river yes are you done ragging on the oilers yet okay and then okay just credit thunberg ban from venice it's not in the sports desk but it uh it got put in the wrong category but greta thunberg ban from venice after dying the

canal green yes you know how much i care about greta thunberg zero happy news uh donald trump is reportedly pressing the ellisans to make a new rush hour film at paramount you might as show the picture of uh the boys there twos well yes so originally this was the first article is donald trump wants hollywood to make another rush hour four movie and then you fast forward a very short while rush hour four is officially in the works Looks like he actually is making America great again. Some happy, sorry,

the Kildozer toy, do you want to show the video? Yes, yeah. Dumb question. Every time Marvin Heemeyer comes up, we cover it. When the system pushes too far, push back. The Kildozer play set from the Real Rig series puts

unyielding power in your hands. Remote control, diecast armor, and a thirst for justice tear through every obstacle in its path. Now, this is just an AI video, but I would absolutely buy that. That wouldn't be for kids. That'd be for twos. Yeah, because you mean, anyways, yeah, uh, Huscavarn a giveaway. Oh, well, we got, it's, it's American Thanksgiving.

So they probably need a bit of good news right now. my dad quietly opened a PO box for my palliative mom who wants to feel the joy of Christmas cards again her world's getting smaller but love still gets through the mailbox if you'd like to send her one Brent and Sadie Dancy P.O. Box 38100 Calgary RPO Country Hills Alberta T3K 5G9 so if you feel like helping make somebody's Christmas a little bit nicer um go ahead and uh let's

So that is, it seems like a long way out, but that'll get here in no time, glad. So if you're going to buy tickets, buy them this year, because prices do go up in January. And, yeah, we're waiting. We got a whole list of characters coming for that, but more to come.

um sam cooper probably the latest uh uh one to be announced and that's a name here on this show and across canada that's definitely grabbed some headlines uh any other thing community wise yeah anything else community wise too um basically that's it yeah well i have a sad note i want i want to put it on screen um this is uh well my son when he was born in the back and last night, the dog to his left. That's Bain. Ivy since passed. That's the great Dane on the right, but on the left, Bain last night, we put him down. He, uh, it was a, uh, really fast. Um, he was bleeding out from a, something on his spleen. Anyways, he went downhill real fast and, uh, last night. So I told all the dog lovers out there who, uh, got their dogs, uh, you know, I,

I don't know, take him for a walk, give him a hug. It happened way too quick, and he grew up, both these dogs grew up around my kids. They were there before they were born. And so all three kids got to, uh, uh, I don't know. He was just a good dog, you know? And I was saying this to two as before.

It was, he, since he was a puppy and we rescued him from the, he was at a North Battle for the pound or the, not the pound, uh, SPCA, and he was a rescue from the Noron's forest fires years ago. And since we had him as a puppy, he never stopped talking. And he was also, if you put one finger on him, he'd lay down for you because he just wanted to be near people.

So it was a sad, sad night last night in the Newman household. So wherever you are, Bainer, I hope you're getting to chase those rabbits. And, you know, as a puppy or a young dog, him and Ivy used to tear off in the country side after horses. and I always had to reel them back in. So maybe they're getting to chase a couple of those, too. Well, I hope so. He was a very good dog. Like, I think probably the first time I was over at your place.

You know, he just comes up and I give him a little scritch. And then it was just anytime I was there, he just wanted continual scritches. And, you know, we're sitting chat and whatever else, maybe just doing, you know, the, um, uh, Festivus or whatever else, and I'm constantly giving them scritches. Because as soon as I stop, it's, oh, oh, yeah, that was it honest. And I keep going and I keep going.

And if I spent the night there, he would come downstairs into the spare room and he would climb up on the bed and sleep with me. He was, he was an amazingly good dog. That was the saddest thing last night, is he didn't say a thing. I knew, ah, I don't want to talk about it. it that was tough anyways to all the dog lovers out there it was a sad night and uh we miss you bainer and uh thanks for joining us on martial point 86 i didn't mean to leave it on such a sad note i just wanted to mention it and um if you're enjoying the show we're here every uh Friday 10 a m mountain
