Starting point is 00:00:14 So, welcome to the mashup. Tell me whether I'm wrong or right. Easter west up or down side to side. I sit to stand and fall to fly. I've all of my impulsive plans. Popping locking salsa dances on demand. I follow leading off the map and stop the chatter, scream happily. Welcome to the mashup.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Welcome to the mashup. So two weeks ago, we were dog sitting. And Mrs. Tews at the end of it said, oh, you know what, this is great. dog sitting every once in a while because it reminds me that above all else, I definitively do not want a second dog. And then literally five days later, she went to sleep five times. And then we got this little munchkin. Five days after being like, nope, nope, nope, this is too much. It's too crazy. Five days. And now we got this. Can you say hi? You, okay. All right. Okay. So anyway, um, yeah, five days. How's everybody doing? Okay. So first off and foremost, to anyone tuning in, me and twos are trying out a new system. We've been having nothing but issues with Stream Yard, right? We haven't had a good, we've had like one good stream. We've had good streams, but we've had technical difficulties in the last five. I would say on each one of the last five. So me and twos talked about it. We ran through a new platform a couple nights ago, right?
Starting point is 00:01:57 So there's going to be, there's going to be some pain today, folks. There's already been pain. Tews has been causing me pain. Cool little dog, though. What did you name him? Rebel. Rebel. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:09 So, great. I'm happy for you. Tuse has been annoying me all morning. If you saw the document today, folks, of Mashup 194, the last, I don't even know the last 40 minutes of the show, I'm as blind as you. There was no way to keep up with Tuesday this morning. I was ready. I almost called you.
Starting point is 00:02:29 I literally had your phone down. I'm like, nope, just keep reading. Put my phone back. I'm like, I don't know what Tuesday is doing this morning, but he is causing Sean nothing but gray hairs. Look at him. He's already changing my... What?
Starting point is 00:02:45 I know what you... What's up? What's up? 194. What's... For those of us... For those of us... ...all day long.
Starting point is 00:02:54 People listening. All day long. not watching. What are you upset about? You can see it. I can see it. Yeah, but people listening can't see it. That's too bad for them, too. What is it? What is going on that they're not seeing? I'm so annoyed. It's not even funny. Okay. I, before we get too far into things, some, you know, in the sort of corrections area. The problem with doing upwards of 200, mashups, let alone everything else over the years, stuff kind of just gets lost in the full.
Starting point is 00:03:32 And so two weeks ago, we were talking about the taxpayer acknowledgement and how wonderful it is and how glorious it is and what a great original idea. Well, ladies and gentlemen, twos is an idiot because he had completely forgotten that this happened like, I don't know, a year and a half, two years ago. And so for those of you who don't know, Jagmeet Singh, used to be the leader of the NDP party until he had what I would say is probably the most
Starting point is 00:04:02 abrupt departure from politics since JFK. Before the rest of this press conference I would like to make a brief acknowledgement. I would like to acknowledge my pension paid for with the traditional and ancestral taxpayer money of Canadians. I sit here in the unseeded front
Starting point is 00:04:22 of my Maserati Levanti, admiring its strong culture of leather seats, rain-sensing wipers, and individually adjustable ball warmers. This pension represents the severed connection between hard-working Canadians and the money to buy their kids' groceries. So yeah, anyways. Can we just say Tuse is having fun on the new platform? Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Tews is in his candy land right now. I don't, he... Right. Like, this is... Welcome to 194, where it is going to be complete dysfunction the entire time. time. Also, we've got a hard stop at 1130. Great. For the audience member watching right now, we want to know how this sounds, how it looks, everything, because right now, at least we're not having any technical difficulties other than the ones we've imposed on ourselves. So
Starting point is 00:05:23 Mashup 194. We're coming in hot today. Like, share, comment on Kevin jamming in already. all right yeah my mashup shirt doesn't do that i'm very jealous i think we're all very jealous shout out to kevin uh kevin kyle kyle for creating that that which is like my favorite thing that's ever been done with ai oh man okay mashup 194 let's get this if we got a hard stop let's get this show on the uh straight and arrow um happy airborne friday to all the military boys out there and um if you're watching make sure yeah like twos is going to be doing this all all time. He's going to be...
Starting point is 00:06:05 We're functioning testing. We're function testing. We function testing a couple nights ago, folks. But Tuesday is going to do it all show long. This is going on. Yeah, we're... So happy Airborne Friday.
Starting point is 00:06:20 If you came here for the professional show that we've become, the award-winning show that we've become, you're in for a ride today. 195. We're learning new things. Yes, but if you're enjoying the show, share it out there,
Starting point is 00:06:34 folks, okay? We rely heavily on you guys to continue to push us out because, I mean, we've, we've been walking through. I've been having different people. I think I talked about this last week too, where they try and search us out and they can't find this. Like, oh, you think that's bad as that? Probably. Okay. Coot's six and a half. All right. You got the non-citizen high-risk offender arrested yet again in Guelph. Do you want to show his picture? I've left this entirely on you and your screen. I just, exited out of everything. I'm so annoyed with twos. I just,
Starting point is 00:07:07 not showing anything today. There he is. I mean, just imagine you're the judge and you look this man in the eye and decide that yeah, we should definitely let him out. You just look them right in the eyes.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Right in those totally normal, not psycho, not crazy, just completely normal eyes. And you say, yeah, you know what? He's probably good. It's probably fine. Okay, this is a guy who in July of 2025 got re-arrested in less than 24 hours. And at February 2nd, 2026, he was re-arrested within two hours. Okay. So high risk offender. This is, and just so in case you're wondering, that one weird picture, it's not an outlawful.
Starting point is 00:08:04 This is just, he is like the opposite of Earl Hickey. This is, this is just what he looks like. This is the guy. And you're like, it's so weird that this high risk offender with a violent past keeps getting arrested. Nobody could have seen this coming. Who could have known? Can I just say Tuesday is actually rolling with like the, the show in the back? I like this too.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I'm just sitting back this morning. Okay. You're taking all my anger away. All right. People are like, lighten up, Sean. All right, I'm trying to lighten up. Tuse is doing a little backwork here. I don't mind this. You know how many times you couldn't figure out how to do the music on Streamyard? It's like wild. All right. You got the Nanaimo piece. R.C.MP, the rest of family driving home. I don't, can you, can somebody walk me through this actually happened? Okay. There was an empty packet of cigarettes that did not have the excise tax stamp on it. And then because there was no excise tax. stamp on it. They're illegal cigarettes. Although here's the thing is that, first off, it's an empty pack of cigarettes. And secondly, you could take that sticker off at any point.
Starting point is 00:09:17 It's not like it's on there forever. We deal with that at the vape store where they just kind of get stuck on there and then they half fall off. And we get like, okay, well, let's make sure it goes back on just in case somebody comes by and wants to take a look at it. And they arrested the whole damn family, the whole fam family. over an empty pack. They could have just picked it up.
Starting point is 00:09:40 It could have just been that they were being good Samaritans just saying, hey, you know what? You know what it would be good? Oh, we're just going to clean up our community. And this is what happens. Judge Grant's leniency for Toronto crack dealer because of his nine children and his race. A Toronto crack cocaine dealer caught back in business
Starting point is 00:09:56 three times over the course of 10 months, managed to convince a judge that he deserves some leniency because putting him behind bars would mean hardship for his nine children. but not because he's addicted to the drugs he was caught peddling. That's Lloyd Williams, Ontario. Yep. Williams identifies as both black and McMack. The Black McMack.
Starting point is 00:10:19 That sounds like something McDonald's is going to come out with for February. Anyway, though he couldn't prove the latter, the judge was satisfied Williams has established a connection to indigenous ancestry. So he said, I need leniency because not only am I black, but I'm also First Nations. Okay, well, can you prove it? No. Okay, but we're just going to take your word for it. And that's it. All right.
Starting point is 00:10:56 We got a whole bunch here on Alberta, the independence talks. Okay, first, we'll start with Daniel Smith, I think. That's where you want to start? Yeah, sure. Daniel Smith's message to separatist Albertans. Give me some time. Smith says she takes separatist sentiment in Alberta seriously. She says other political leaders in Canada should take it seriously as well.
Starting point is 00:11:18 They should take it seriously. I've taken it seriously. That's why I've taken the steps I have. That's why I've tried to work with the prime minister and why I've encouraged him to move very quickly on what I've identified as hotspots for Albertans. Smith will not slam those who are fed up so fed up. They're looking for Alberta separatist option. rather than criticize those who have really deep-seated hurt feeling.
Starting point is 00:11:39 It's a genuine hurt over the last 10 years. There's no point in condemning that group. Let's take it seriously. But the Alberta Premier had a few words to pass on those who would vote, yes to separation on a referendum ballot because they want to send a strong message to Ottawa. These folks may not actually want Alberta to split from Canada, but they are disgusted with Ottawa's treatment of the province and feel a yes to separation might wake up the folks down east.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Sometimes you can overreact, says Smith. people overcorrected because people overcorrected because they were made in the 2015 election and got a surprise government. I don't want people to send a message and overcorrect and then end up with a result that wasn't expected. I'm not trying to send a message to Ottawa. I don't really care what Ottawa says or thinks at this point. Just done with it. Like I said last week, like what would I say to Mark Carney if I could sit across a table from them? literally nothing.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Being a Canadian patriot doesn't mean being a dormant. That's Damian Currick, former conservative MP for Battle River Crowfoot. Whether you're in coffee shop and Battle River Crowfoot on a rig site near Grand Prairie or in a small town diner just north of the 49th parallel, you'll likely hear people say they are done with Canada, but as soon as that word separation is whispered,
Starting point is 00:12:56 distant elites, and the online mob pounce with labels like Trader or Mega. The reality is that these are real people, with real lives who have simply reached their breaking point, calling them names is cheap and only pushes folks further away and don't be so sure that your neighbor isn't a quiet separatist. Usually when in Alberta, Albertan talks about walking away, they aren't doing it because they hate Canada. They're doing it because they feel like the Canada they love has left them. Labeling that frustration as disloyalty is exactly why there are sparks of separatism. You can't tell someone they belong in the family while you're busy pushing.
Starting point is 00:13:32 them out the door. That's pretty fair. That's the one thing that, you know, on one hand, I'm kind of disappointed. We haven't seen more of. But on the other hand, hey, you know what? This is exactly this is. So I guess, let me frame this. I'm surprised there hasn't been more reasoned and nuanced discussions about why
Starting point is 00:13:54 Western Canada has been pushed to this point. And we're here. We're there. All right. Well, instead of just saying we're dicks for not liking the situation, you're like, well, how did they get there? What drove them to that point? What is their perspective on this? Why do they feel this way?
Starting point is 00:14:18 And granted, this is the guy who absconded from his riding in Battle River Crowfoot so that Pollyev could take it over for one election cycle. and he's going to go back to it later, which, again, you cost the taxpayers a few million dollars for just a temporary placeholder, and you wonder why we're just so fed up with everything federal.
Starting point is 00:14:45 But at the same time, on the one hand, I appreciate the fact that he's doing it, but on the other hand, the less, the fewer discussions like this that happened, the more people who are on the fence are going to be like, like, you're calling me a jerk for not, being happy with this shitty situation, we'll screw you.
Starting point is 00:15:02 And yeah, there's going to be more signatures if conversations like this don't start happening. In the background, is your puppy chewing on a toy? Yep. Well, a dose is separation talk
Starting point is 00:15:20 with Rebel the puppy chewing on a toy. That's how Mashup 194 is going. You want to show the Sean Fraser video? Yeah, sure. Or the TikTok marketing consultant or both? Both. Who's able to make decisions without fear or favor amongst their, those who have the power to appoint or in theory remove a judge from the bench.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Well, that's interesting. That's a very interesting thing. When you also look at, so what the guy's talking about here, Sean Frazier is talking about here, is the fact that Daniel Smith wants Alberta to have a say in who gets appointed. judges. And they're saying, well, it can't be political. Well, no matter what, you've got some politician making that decision, whether it's federal or provincial, and always default to the smaller government.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Right. But in this case, it's really interesting because, according to the National Post, August 9, 2023, 76.3% of judges donating to parties or parties, or, 76.3% of appointed judges donated to the Liberal Party. Isn't that funny? Tuse, can you do me a favor? Can you hide, you see in the bottom of the screen it says Studio Restream is sharing your, can you hide that? Studio. Oh, yep. This? Yep. Thank you. Okay. Yeah. That was going to bug me all day long. All right. Yeah. Okay. You want to show the TikTok? Yes, well, which TikTok. There's a couple. Marketing consultant says redneck Alberta separatists are driving a national client out of Calgary.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Yeah. And then so Cosman points out, let's see who her clients are, a neuroinclusive consulting firm, an event planner, and an online coach. Here's the video though. And I'm probably going to show most of it. Movement has nothing to do with you. Then listen to the fuck up. I live in Alberta and I work in branding and in marketing. And when I tell you, you that I just got off the phone with a client. I just want to point out the fact that whenever they do these videos, they're just so fucking smug. Like there's no sense of, you know, having a reasonable conversation. They just look fucking crazy. Like you could just smell the crazy coming off of them or maybe the dog peed.
Starting point is 00:17:54 But either way. Rolling back their marketing and they are shifting their home base for their national company they're talking about moving it away from Calgary. Oh, no. A company is talking about moving away from Calgary because the instability, wait, wait, wait, wait. I wonder what kind of business are the end? Instability of the Alberta political climate
Starting point is 00:18:22 and the way that their major donors and their major supporters are getting spooked and not wanting to invest because of this. So they're not customers. They don't get their money from customers or clients. They get it from donors. This isn't a business. This isn't a business we're talking about here.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Whatever this is, it's not an actual business. They're starting to move away and host meetings elsewhere outside of Alberta. So if you think those bunch of rednecks are not doing anything, then I suggest you have some serious conversations with the people around you to make sure that they understand. So whatever business this is, I imagine it probably fits in well with the neuroinclusive consulting firm,
Starting point is 00:19:13 an event planner, and an online coach. And I'm guessing that it's probably something pushing a really dumb agenda. Well, the thing about businesses leaving, right? That's not a business. That's not a business. If they don't get their money from customers or clients or anything like that,
Starting point is 00:19:32 if they get their money from donors, which is what she explicitly said, that's not a business. All I was going to say is if you talk to our audience and in my talks with people running big business, there has been a mass exodus
Starting point is 00:19:49 and people planning their way out of this. So you can go, oh, planning their way out of Canada. Instability, yes, the instability of the independence movement is making businesses move out. Sure. you don't get this, they're already going anyways.
Starting point is 00:20:05 So, yeah, yeah, okay. Economics professor on cost of Alberta separation, it would plunge. That was the answer from an economics professor, Mashi Lander, on what the situation would be like if Alberta became an independent nation. You need border control. We still need border control, which means you're going to need to have some sort of army, We need that to. You're going to have your provincial police force.
Starting point is 00:20:33 We need that anyways. You're going to have to have a passport. You're going to have a central bank. You're going to need diplomatic corps said Lander on Tuesday morning, CTV in Edmonton. Yeah. So first off, as far as it being an economic catastrophe, the ink is barely dry on the $20.5 billion of investment that was announced last week amongst two different projects in Alberta.
Starting point is 00:20:59 So there's that telling you that you're fucking wrong. And first off, if we're going to talk about our military spending. And I mean, he says it right here. You're going to be immediately landlocked. Do you know what landlocked countries don't have to fucking have? Battleships, aircraft carriers, submarines. In your own argument, you're pointing out the fact that we're going to be saving a ton of money on national defense.
Starting point is 00:21:29 I liked Keith Wilson. Keith Wilson had a video earlier this week. I think it was early this week. Okay. He was talking about the landlocked. He's like, we already are landlocked. We're landlocked as we sit right now. And he was talking about policy landlocked.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Yeah. Yeah. He put it very succinctly and as twos will do, twos will say he said it first, fair enough. I'm just, he put it in a nice way where it's like, we're already landlocked. We can't get anything out to the West Coast. Why?
Starting point is 00:21:54 Because they don't want it. So we're already landlocked. are we fighting over what it's going to have when we're landlocked folks okay fair enough look at or is there no other country in the world that has ever been landlocked and not been successful oh probably well Switzerland would be one that I can think of off the top of my head I'm sure there are many others Mongolia just throwing that out there just throwing that out there well the what's that oh shoot what's that country they need after you South America.
Starting point is 00:22:30 What country, Tews? You're a gay. Anything else? Anything else? Oh, my goodness. Do you want to talk about, do you, do you want to flip to? Leichtenstein? Leichtenstein.
Starting point is 00:22:48 You're not even going to go with Leashtonstein. Come on. You know what I'm happy about this week? I don't know if anybody else sees it, but I actually seen here, too, is you're not glitching. I'm already liking the new platform just for that. I can actually hear and laugh at some of it. your jokes. Do you want to talk Glencore or do you want to push that the end of this?
Starting point is 00:23:08 Because it was right in the middle. We're going to do Glenn Corps. I got to find it again here. Glenn Corralts major Quebec smelter investment over emissions rules dispute. Okay. So in the middle of saying, oh, well, there's going to be all this capital fleeing if you want to leave Canada. Meanwhile, here's a perfect example of what you were talking about where capital is leaving Canada because the country is a shit show. I agree, Carrie Ann. The stream is great. I'm, we may have found the new home for where we're going to be streaming from, too. Just throwing that out there. Early days. Early days. We'll probably find some problems. I'm having fun on this side. I get, I get to have a little. Hard stop.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Oh, we've got to go meet a accountant. I got to go meet an accountant. And you put 700,000 links. All right. Yes, Glenn Corp. Okay. Alberta UCP caucus has no business signing separation boat. petition former Premier. Jason Kenny. Jason Kenney interviewed Monday, said the party, he helped create in 2017 and leaned until 2022 was found on the principle that it's committed to Strong Alberta within a United Canada. Asked about the claim. Smith said in an interview CTV over the weekend that are used to be caucus members
Starting point is 00:24:20 can sign whatever petition that they want. Jason Kenney loves the caucus. Jason Ketty says the government, United Conservative Party caucus has no business signing a petition to force a vote on the province of quitting Canada. Also, Jason Kenney, back in 2021, Kenny backs Quebec's drive to be declared a nation. Oh, isn't that interesting?
Starting point is 00:24:43 It's itself a nation in Canada's constitution. In fact, he feels Quebec is leading the way for Alberta to assert its own powers of identity. Oh, really? Isn't that interesting? That's very interesting. Now, I would just like to point out, okay, we've also got a video here.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I'm just going to show it as a background thing while I talk about this. We had Stephen Harper and Jean-Cretien getting together to tell everybody how important it is for Canada to stay united. Now, I would just like to point out that Jean-Catien, representing the liberals, who would look pretty fucking bad on the world stage and all of the money that they used to buy fucking votes would disappear. and if we're going to be brutally honest about Stephen Harper,
Starting point is 00:25:32 if Alberta separates from Canada, the federal conservative party is fucking toast forever. They're going to be less relevant than Jagmeet Singh. So of course, he is going to, like nobody's asking the obvious question. Well, why would Stephen Harper be pro Alberta being part of the Confederation? Well, it's because his party wouldn't fucking exist without it. So there you go. It would exist in some shape or fashion.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Would it not? They'd be getting together with Elizabeth May and whoever the hell they picked to leave the NDP and sitting in like the back corner of the fucking lunchroom talking about the glory days of when people used to give a shit what they thought about things. This will crater our economy. Andaminton city council say talk of Alberta.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Sepertism creates instability. Yeah. I mean, it's just, I mean, we're kind of just, yeah. We're rehashing the same thing over and over again. Here's a picture. The Groundhog saw its shadow today, and we have only eight more months left.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Months of Canada left. Yeah, I thought that was amusing. You want to show the Tim Houston video? Oh, yes, yes. Premier of Nova Scotia. Yeah. This is exactly what we have to deal with here in Canada.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Canada. This is who we're going to tie our wagon to. We have the worst economy in North America. 60 out of 60 when you look at GDP per capita. So, you know, so you look down on this, New York State, number one, Massachusetts, number two. The first province that shows up is Alberta, somewhere in the 15, 16, some of that. Just keep looking down the list. Mississippi, Alabama, keep looking down the list. West Virginia.
Starting point is 00:27:25 keep looking down the list at the very bottom Nova Scotia. Yeah. Maybe just throwing this out there, you should let people walk around in the woods. What if you let people walk around in the woods, guys? Would that be something that might make people want to live there and do things there? And then this is, I think this is the last one I want to show here. So this is a video that you kind of just have to see it. believe it. So Daniel Smith, premier of Alberta, is leading about 275 Albertans to think.
Starting point is 00:28:02 275 Albertans. There's been 270, there were 275, there were more than 275 Albertans on the first day in Water Valley when there aren't even 275 people in that town. I think that separation from Canada. I just call me old fashioned, but I don't know if I want to be taking economic advice from somebody who models their look after Fred Durst. Okay? Look, I get it. I get the message. Look, we got to have faith in Canada, okay?
Starting point is 00:28:38 We got to keep this economy rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling. These people. Time to get the board. Oh, yeah, here's the board. Let's see. Alberta separation. Okay. Now, dressing like the lead singer of Limp Biscuit,
Starting point is 00:28:57 you really missed out a golden opportunity if you're going to talk about keeping things separated to maybe do an offspring reference. But separation is spelled with two A's, not two E's. Get a front row seat. I'm going to give this little band of petition. Again, again, the condescension, the never-ending condescension from these people.
Starting point is 00:29:19 It's a great video. She should do these more often. often. Okay? You know men trying to make deals with down south? Do you understand history at all? Do you understand what that's going to do to your oil? All right.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Let's look at these and let's break them down here. Economic development. So she says that it's going to stymie economic development. I think we've thoroughly debunk that over the last two weeks. Okay. Landlocked vulnerability. Point to Keith Wilson, who obviously was the first person you ever heard say that, saying that we're already landlocked, so nothing would change.
Starting point is 00:29:54 The only thing that would really change is that we would actually have negotiating power because we would say, hey, we've got to, you guys have a pretty important couple train lines coming through here, and we can stop them at the border if you guys want to stop our stuff at the border. We actually would be in a position to say, let's do a tit for tat negotiation, okay? Massive trans costs. Now, she's not talking about cutting off dicks in this case, which she seems to be somebody who probably does a fair bit. She's talking about transition costs, which are fine. They're just
Starting point is 00:30:25 going to be a one-time setup, okay? Fiscal challenges. She's kind of repeating herself in the economic development argument, but fair enough, indigenous rights still have to be hammered out, but the way it is, right now it's seated territory, Alberta is seated territory, and there's a few different options that are all on the table, okay? Pension comp. she's basically her argument is that if you guys separate, you're not going to get your pensions anymore. Look, I don't know if you guys know anybody who say is like what we call snowbirds.
Starting point is 00:30:59 They go down to Arizona for the winter or Texas or Florida or wherever. They don't stop getting their pension the minute they leave the country. They paid into that pension, their whole working careers. And when they're in a different country, they continue to get that pension. Now, the only thing that would change is where that money would come from if when Alberta takes over their share of the pension. And then trade, foreign trade,
Starting point is 00:31:24 she's basically saying that all the agreements would be dead in the water. Kind of, but you've also got the option of just resuming the current trade agreements that are there. Like you could just say, hey, you know what, Kusma. Let's say Kusma gets renegotiated exactly as it is. And when Alberta separates, we just say, hey, look, we've got this. deal. We can keep doing this exact deal if you guys want in the States and in Mexico. Is that good? Okay, cool. Or you just, or, or maybe there's some that we're not interested in. But the point is, is that they're already laid out for every country that we have a trade agreement with. Maybe we don't
Starting point is 00:32:03 want to get EVs from China. And we say, no, no, we're going to go our own way on that. Anyway, none of these are solid arguments. And nobody has been presenting any good reason. why Canada should stay united with Alberta, which brings me up to my next point. If you guys are enjoying this, next week, we've got a guy coming on that he and I are going to hash it out for probably half or most of the show
Starting point is 00:32:32 talking about the pros and cons of Alberta sovereignty. He's willing to come on. He's going to be on next Friday. That is the 13th. Mashup 195. Mark it. I know. This is going to be.
Starting point is 00:32:46 to be the first time that there's going to be any sort of a debate between Soveretists and Federalists. And I'm hopefully going to chair it in a way or facilitated in a way that he gets to speak and I hold twos to not running over him like he runs over me on a daily where he won't let me spit out two words. I'm going to try and get it so we can hear both sides. All right? That's what we're going to try and do. Yeah. Because when twos gets rolling, I miles just put my feet up,
Starting point is 00:33:15 drink a coffee, and sit back. Because Tuesday gets on a roll. You know what, though, Tuse? If I'm learning anything, the thing that drives you most nuts is when I don't give you credit
Starting point is 00:33:26 for an original idea or an idea that you believe you had originally. I believe I had. I can tell you off the top of my head. When we did the blue collar round table with QDM was on there and we were talking, about the
Starting point is 00:33:42 51st state idea. I'm just putting it out. I'm just putting it out. Just to hash out the idea. Yeah. That I was explicitly talking about it on that episode. Tews, you're yelling to us.
Starting point is 00:33:58 All right. Rapid fire here, folks. BC government appoints former RCP officer to bridge extortion communications. That's Premier David Eby and Nina Krieger, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General have applied
Starting point is 00:34:10 appointed, sorry, Paul Dadwall, to close any gaps between police officers and the community about work being done to combat extortion, especially in Surrey. Quoted, the advisory group will listen to community concerns, identify emerging issues, and relieve them to law enforcement and government. So people are heard, supported, and safe. They don't know what the problems are, I guess. It will also support the communication of information from law enforcement to the community. And then the second one to tie into this is Canada is losing control of a major city to
Starting point is 00:34:40 gangster former, once again, I'll slide down here. In late January, city council called for their community to be placed under a state of emergency. The extortion crisis is underlain by two problems that are worsening crime almost everywhere else in Canada. Criminals send crudely worded demands for cash to homes or businesses, and if money isn't paid, the victim is met with violence. When the attacks were first starting in 2023, the BCRCMP circulates, circulated an example of what typical extortion letter looked like, a sheet of paper topped with the wording warning. It explained, we are an Indian gang members. We want to share from your
Starting point is 00:35:19 business like protection money. The letter then adds, we have links all over. Do not ignore us. It will affect you really bad. In January alone, Surrey Police tracked 36 separate extortion attacks. The dual problems of lax immigration and toothless criminal justice system were probably best highlighted in December when Surrey police arrested 15 Indian national suspected of extortion-related crimes only for all 15 to immediately claim status as refugees. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, you can't deport us.
Starting point is 00:35:51 We're refugees. So, that's, yeah. We is, yeah. You remember us talking to, you know, like, as bad as Surrey is right now, all the things about the tow trucks and which we're to get to and Montreal and the gang violence there. So this is now the third, in my account, the third spot. Am I missing any that we've covered? Toronto. Toronto. Okay. Well, that's the tow trucks. Well, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The three, right? The three? Montreal, gang related and now Surrey. Yeah, let's let's do the tow trucks right now. Sure. Seven Toronto police officers facing
Starting point is 00:36:28 charges related to tow truck violence. Seven Toronto police officers and one retired member of the service are facing charges related to violent incidents involving tow trucks and operators across the great Toronto area. York Regional Police announced Thursdays the officers are accused of trafficking, leaking addresses to Hitman and leaking police officers' addresses. The investigation also uncovered a conspiracy to kill a unit commander at the Toronto South Detention Center.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Yeah, this is pretty fucking dark. Do you remember when we, because we came up, we noticed this together. We, thank you. We noticed that we keep seeing all of these weird articles about tow truck gang stuff and tow truck crime and things like that. And so for the past year, year and a half, we cumulatively have been saying, what the hell is going on with these tow truck companies?
Starting point is 00:37:19 Why is this happening? What's the story? And then remember, CBC was right on the verge of exposing a whole bunch of it. and then they cut live to Prime Minister Carney buying some fucking croissants. Yes. Yeah. This,
Starting point is 00:37:33 this apparently is now getting so dark that you have multiple members and former members of the Toronto Police Service abetting assassinations of an attempted assassinations of police officers and corrections facility heads. And it's getting pretty...
Starting point is 00:37:54 Did you watch? Did you watch? the new Matt Damon Ben Affleck police show? Goodwill Hunting? No, no, no. The new one. No. This is basically what they're dealing with in the entire movie. They're two cops. Okay. And that's, yeah, it's pretty much the plot of the movie. I mean, give or take.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Does he say Matt Damon? First major medical group opposes gender transition surgeries for youth. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has issued a broad recommendation against gender transition surgeries for use becoming the first major medical association in the United States to narrow its guidance on pediatric gender care, recommends surgeons to lay gender-related chest genital and facial surgery until a patient is at least 19 years old. Yeah, $2 million lawsuit. Two million dollar lawsuit. See, that's why. The RIP is the movie I'm talking about. By the way.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Okay. All right. There you go. There you go. I think you're talking about RAPD, the one with Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges. That's the buddy cop movie you're thinking of, right? No, that's not. Anyways, carry on, too.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Okay. All right. So, yeah. This is, this is actually, you know, people talk about like how they don't want American-style health care. Here's one of the benefits. I'm not saying it's perfect. I'm not saying it's good.
Starting point is 00:39:23 I'm not saying we should go for it. But when there's, there are really big fuck-ups, there are also really big financial consequences. When the Canadian healthcare system has a bunch of people who do a whole bunch of shit badly and people die because of it or they have their lives ruined, they say, oh, that sucks. You get what you pay for, though. In the States, when you fuck something up badly, you're fucking paid. Sorry, I got to go back to the towing.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Natasha Ghanik chimed in. Cliffs' towing just went out of business, too. Would be interesting to see what happened there. Where is Cliffs towing, Natasha? I don't know. Maybe they just went off of Cliffs. Did you just snort? I can hear you today.
Starting point is 00:40:20 You know how bad it's been when I'm realizing how bad the last five mashups have been when I've been trying to like, you're like, you don't get in the joke? I'm like, I can't even hear you. Like I don't even know it Tuesday's saying. the time. I'm trying not to mess it up. I can actually see and hear you today. Oh, that's nice. Yes. Members of the OPP, provincial weapons enforcement unit and Grenville detachment seized 46 firearms near Prescott last week in a six-month investigation led by Ottawa police assisted by a couple others. Two Ottawa residents face multiple charges.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yeah. So this is the same guy who back in the day got arrested in 2022 with this. This is what he got arrested with in 2022. He get re-arrested for the exact same thing. All right? And meanwhile, we've got our government spending how many billions of dollars trying to make
Starting point is 00:41:14 fair enough, fair enough. Tuesday, I think we all snorted on that one. We've got our federal government spending how many billions of dollars trying to take guns away from just regular everyday folk. This is an, I'm not sure I fully understood the story.
Starting point is 00:41:35 So I'm going to let twos obviously chime in, but it says Las Vegas Biolab raid possibly tied to California case, federal Chinese investigation. A suspected biological laboratory rated by Metro Police and the FAA may be connected to a similar incident in California where officials found infectious agents such as HIV and malaria. Shortly before 6 a.m., Metro SWAT team served search warrant at a home on Sugar Springs Drive near Washington Avenue, Hollywood Boulevard. to search for possible biological laboratory inside the home. Investigators also located pathogen labeled containers with labels such as dengue fever, HIV, and malaria, along with a thousand mice. Yeah, not all of them were alive. So what had happened was that this place, while also being a biolab, was a, oh, this article
Starting point is 00:42:28 doesn't have the picture of it. It was also an Airbnb. because, hey, I mean, you know what? You got to pay the bills somehow. And so this Chinese bio lab slash Airbnb in Las Vegas had a bunch of issues where people who stayed there were complaining about the fact that they were getting sick, presumably with HIV and dengue fever. And then they looked into it more.
Starting point is 00:42:55 And, oh, why, why does this Airbnb need so many mice? And then they raided it. And they found, they basically found, they found a Wuhan lab in a house, an Airbnb. In an Airbnb. So I did understand the article correct. I'm like, is this literally what I'm thinking? I'm reading. Like I just, you remember that story about the, what was it, the goat that they, that they rescued because they were going to butcher it.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Because you remember that story like a couple of years ago? I'm like, this story kind of reads, obviously not identical, but I'm like, is, am I? This is strange. Okay. Look, this is how bad it is for China and how poorly their economy is doing, that when they're conducting international espionage and weapons grade disease research, they have to have their covert facilities also double as Airbnbs. Obviously, obviously we need to support China because they're going through some shit right now
Starting point is 00:44:00 because you can't even have an international spy organization, weapons lab research facility that isn't also getting supplementary income. Comedian Rips Minnesota venue after six sold-old shows canceled over backlash to Renee Nicole, joke. She was the one killed by ICE officers. Minnesota Comedy Club abruptly canceled six sold-old shows by comedian Ben Bankas. So he made a joke. Backlash on that.
Starting point is 00:44:33 And they were removed. And they canceled six sold out shows. They were so upset about his joke about that woman who got shot by ICE. Now, Ben Bankas has been ducking my calls and texts and DMs and smoke signals. Every time he gets another show canceled, first off, every time he gets one show canceled, two more sell out. And I've been trying to get him on forever to talk. him about this and I figured I keep thinking that it would be good to have him and Uncle hack on at the same time to just talk about canceling shows.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Would we? We'd break the internet that day, wouldn't we? Well, yeah, if Ben would ever respond. I was supposed to have Ben coming on the podcast once upon a time and then I assume he just got busy and was running around with sold those shows and maybe I should try back on that. We'll circle back on him too, see if we can't go. All right. You want to show the video about the liberals not like being asked about the legal use of the emergencies act? Yeah, yeah, of course I do. This one's really fun. Okay. Issues relating to human rights and international law.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Maybe answer my question. I guess now that the Federal Court of Appeal has ruled that, in fact, your government trampled on those rights here. Okay, I'm sorry. I want to give the opportunity to say if you'd like to change your opinion. Let's suspend the meeting for five minutes so that we can get back in order. won't even handle the question. Won't even give the question a chance to be heard. I will give Akhman Hussein credit there. I think that was Ahmed Hussein.
Starting point is 00:46:11 I will give him credit there. He was really on the ball with that gavel. The second that question came up, boom, meeting adjourned. Wind turbines failed Nova Scotia during the weekend. Cold snap, what that means for the grid as our resilient reliance, sorry, on electricity grows. While there were some localized issues and outages related to the cold on Sunday,
Starting point is 00:46:34 our teams were able to avoid system-wide issues that could have required load shedding or proactive short rotating outages across province reads a written response from Nova Scotia power. Many Nova Scotians were surprised Saturday and Sunday to be asked by their energy provider to avoid non-essential electricity usage during peak demand periods from 5 to 9 p.m. the power corporation warned this was there so they could not oh man this was so there let me jump in yes spit it up okay nova scotia has an estimated total electricity generating capacity of 2,700 megawatts uh 600 megawatts is wind average daily demand in winter is 1700 but it peaked at 2,418 81 megawatts and while that was happening wind was generally wind was
Starting point is 00:47:23 generating 350 megawatts during the day and 75 at night. So, yeah, wind isn't really going to solve all of our problems. And I get the fact that the rest of the- I'm so happy. I don't want to move in that direction, but we don't. Well, in fairness, in fairness, I'm sure we have people watching this from afar. I know all of Canadians don't want this.
Starting point is 00:47:53 I think some parts of government want this incredibly bad. most common sense folks, especially watching this show twos, wherever they're sitting, don't want this. We've got a great audience with common sense folks, but we need to stop calling common sense, common sense. We need to start calling it rare sense. Okay. Well, we got a bunch of rare sense folks. We do have a bunch of rare sense folks and they're awesome, but they're not the ones voting for the idiot politicians that make these decisions. And the idiot politicians that make these decisions get voted in by a whole lot of, well, I guess in this day and age, you could call it common sense. Folks.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Ten men charged in France over rape. Oh, man, I'm a drug five-year-old. Yep. So the father put this kid into contact with these people who threw a gang rake party where they drugged him and raped the five-year-old. Slightly good news in this article, though, at that same party, the dad got drugged and raped. So, now, it's...
Starting point is 00:49:08 It's an awful story. It is an awful story, but live by the... Yeah, live by the pedophilic dick, die by the pedophilic dick. Canada's economy is on life support and country is in recession watch, says economist. Recession watch says economists, sorry. A new report from Rosenberg Research, Canada, Canadian economy on life support. report shows that despite interest rate cuts from a high of 5% in 2024 per capita GDP is still
Starting point is 00:49:36 falling and the economy is growing at only 1% annually. Moreover, the housing and manufacturing sectors are struggling with home prices down to 2% year-over-year manufacturing, which heavily relies on U.S. trade is down 5%. Quoted, it's clear to me unless the policy lags are just a lot longer this time around that this is what 2705 basis points of bank counter rate cuts delivers the grand total of 1% growth economy. David Rosenberg, chief economist and founder of Rosenberg research told BNN Bloomberg.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Yeah, so everything in Canada is turning to shit. And the only part of Canada that's actually keeping anybody afloat is Western Canada. And they don't want to do anything to avoid fucking us over.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Sean has apparently left and rejoined somehow. Let's bring Sean in, folks. Hey Sean, welcome to the mashup. Well, I guess we're finding out what the new streaming platform does. It just kicked me, said I lost my connection. So there's that. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:50:40 I'm here. I'm back. Okay. So it kicks Sean out randomly. But for those of you watching, does it do anything bad? We're leaning heavily on the audience today to make sure that you keep commenting. If you see anything odd about this show or if you're enjoying the stream and its current format, because, you know, moving forward, we're going to probably, I don't know, look at doing it on here.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Yeah. Yes. So this is an update to, you may remember the goofy story we had about the guy who tunneled into the woman above him's apartment. Yes. Yeah. So he was found guilty of break and entering and mischief not exceeding $5,000. Inside our apartment, he moved items, a shower curtain, the pantry door, and moving the socks and lingerie. in her dresser drawers.
Starting point is 00:51:36 So yeah. Anyway, he's now going to be sentenced in the next few days. But he has been found guilty. Although he said that the, it was interesting. He, he defended himself in court. And he said that the evidence against him was circumstantial. The argument being that he didn't actually get caught inside the apartment. So how can you prove that he was inside the apartment, except for the
Starting point is 00:52:03 the fact that there's a tunnel between the two apartments with the fucking ladder. And he's basically like, anybody could have put that there. Kevin or others. Kevin said two's feed is solid today. Are you seeing any issues off my end? That's just a question. You mentioned twos.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Now I'm kind of curious about mine as I get booted out. Carney and Pierre, I should say. I realize you're just visiting your riding, talking about Pierre and Pierre responded. I realize you're just visiting Canada. Do you want to show that video? It's given me the loading circle, so I guess not. But the gist of it is that Carney jumps in with what he thinks is a zinger on Pierre
Starting point is 00:52:45 Polyev pointing out the fact that he's just floating in there. That was just ceasus letting you know they're watching. As they booted me out. Yeah, exactly. So he drops what he thinks is a huge zinger on Polyev saying that it's not even really his writing. He's just visiting. And then Pollyev jumps in with the exact same thing about Canada rather than his writing. And there's standing applause for the one joke on the one side and for the other joke on the other side.
Starting point is 00:53:18 And everybody thinks it's a huge gotcha moment. And they're all right. Because Palliev literally is just in there for the time being. It's already been announced that the guy who was in there before is going to go back in the next election. and he's going to parachute to somewhere the fuck else. And Carney, I don't think anybody's really planning on having him stick around Canada as soon as this whole PM gig is done for him. Two's, quick question.
Starting point is 00:53:46 You're a guy on making sure the English is done right. Everybody keeps commenting twos with an apostrophe. Yeah, and you always write twos with an apostrophe. And you don't. Okay. So explain this to us all because why is it just 2S? Okay. That is more than one, two.
Starting point is 00:54:07 So if we said mashups, like this is mashup 194. So there have been 194 mashups. That would be mashups like, oh, I can only do read only. Well, here. All right, let me try it like this. Here is what many mashups looks like. Okay. Now, if we were going to say that this is something that the mashup has, like the goofy news,
Starting point is 00:54:39 we would say the mash, oh, oops, goofy news, okay? That's the difference. One is plural. The other one is possessive. Okay. two's, which is 2S. There you go, folks. That's been bugging me all the time, because I did switch it to two
Starting point is 00:55:09 apostrophe S. Two's turned it back. Yeah, I did. Makes more sense with an apostrophe S to me, but hey, what do I know? You want to show the official portrait of Stephen Harper? Yes. This is the official portrait of Stephen Harper. And if this picture looks familiar,
Starting point is 00:55:29 it's because the exact same picture has been occurring on the cover of Mad Magazine for the past hundred years. You snorted again. Yeah. A, I haven't seen Mad Magazine. Like, when was the last time you heard anyone even? Oh, it's been a while.
Starting point is 00:55:52 It's been a while. I feel like it. You get to decide what your portrait looks like. And you're like, oh, I look like Alfred E. Newman got bought. off of Timo and you're like, good enough. How bad were the other ones that this is what Stephen Harper decided to go with? It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Kevin says no more apostrophes. Sean is my favorite again. That's okay. You know what? I'm going to put you in a Russian tie the next time I see you, Kevin. Or as they say in other parts of the world, the Ukrainian victory. Second recall petition against a member of the... The Russian tie is a Ukrainian victory.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Second recall petition against a member of the Alberta legislature fails. Holy man. Okay. They were supposed to get 15,000 signatures. They got 2,200. And Angela Pitt ain't getting voted up. I mean, we've been following all the things and how this isn't going to work. But regardless, we keep updating you.
Starting point is 00:56:59 And we were the first. ones to point out that despite the fact that all of that money had been earmarked for all of these recall petitions, none of it's really going to get spent because the first thing you have to do is determine if there's enough to even bother counting them and vetting them. Because if there's only 2,000 and you need 15,000, it doesn't matter if every single one of them is legitimate or illegitimate, it doesn't change anything because they still don't meet that threshold. So you basically, you stack them up on your desk, you put a ruler next to it, and you count, how many dashes on the ruler it is.
Starting point is 00:57:33 And if it's not high enough, that's it. Health Canada seals vaccine injury records for 15 years. Health Canada's locked away internal reports on vaccine and drug injuries for up to 15 years, citing the sheer scale of the records involved, according to documents tabled in Parliament. The agency billing the backlog on the volume of the material moving through senior offices during COVID-19, the need for extensive consultations, parliamentary motions,
Starting point is 00:58:00 and what is described as requesters, refusal to narrow the scope of their request. Yeah. Officials said the request originally involved several million pages of records regarding vaccine injuries. Vaccine injuries, several million pages of records, which have now been sealed for 15 years. The crazy thing, though, about it is that by the time they actually get unsealed, we'll actually be at a point chronologically
Starting point is 00:58:34 where we'll have an idea if there's any long-term side effects from the vaccine. Do you remember when they said there was going to be, there's no long-term side effects? There's no long-term side effects. Like, motherfucker, you just invented this a week ago.
Starting point is 00:58:49 How can you possibly tell me there's no long-term side effects? But yeah, even the short-term side effects, record sealed for 15 years, which is a totally normal and rational thing to do. I mean, the World Health Organization, which we all take very, Seriously, I have a picture of Teresa Tam up over here.
Starting point is 00:59:07 I can't show you, but it's definitely there. You know, she, the World Health Organization has said it's not a matter of if another pandemic happens, but when. And so we have to be prepared. We have to have all of the data in front of us so that we can make the most informed decisions on the best way forward. And in light of that, it's completely reasonable and normal to seal the fucking records for one and a half more decades.
Starting point is 00:59:35 I expect nonetheless from them, if I'm being honest. You want to show the media producers video? Yeah. Okay. So, interesting thing. The video of this entire event is posted online, but they scrubbed this part when people pointed it out. And that's the interesting thing.
Starting point is 01:00:02 So there's just, there's like a seven seconds. or a 17 second spot where this isn't in the video. But here, this is the Canadian Media Summit, you know, are very nonpartisan, reliable people who don't have an agenda and are above all things neutral. Prime Minister, know that every person in this room and the street have your back, just as we know that you have ours. What an odd thing to say.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Yeah. Yeah. Once again, this is like, it's just confirmation. We've all known this. We've been talking about it and they just said the quiet part out loud. Yeah, absolutely. Major aluminum discovery near Tisdell could reshape North America's aluminum supply. A massive aluminum deposit discovered near Tisdale could position Saskatchewan as a key player in North America's aluminum supply chain. The PA confirmed the Thor project as possible gain changer from North America's aluminum. supply chain located near Tisdale contains an estimated measure and indicated resource of 49.5 billion tons of the material, including 6.8 billion tons of alumina, along with an additional inferred resource of 86.86 billion tons. The estimate covers just 23% of the overall
Starting point is 01:01:32 property area suggesting further expansion potential. Yes. So, I mean, it's great news. It's mostly great news for Tisdale. The only problem they're going to have now is that they're going to have to update their sign to say, welcome to Tisdale, the land of rape, honey, and aluminum. Nothing?
Starting point is 01:01:58 Okay, all right, here. Look, this used to be the sign in Tisdale, Saskatchewan. Welcome to Tisdale, the land of rape and honey. And now it's going to have to say the land of rape honey and aluminum. I swear to God, sometimes I wonder if you're actually
Starting point is 01:02:14 from this province. Another one of my fun things to do, folks, if you're wondering, is to not laugh at two's jokes because he gets really annoyed by it. It's not that I'm annoyed by you're not laughing. It's the fact that if you don't get a joke that you very much should, it worries me. It's Don Cherry's birthday today. For some reason, yeah, for some reason. Yeah, anyways, happy birthday to John Cher.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Yeah, and all you people out there tell him that's birthday. You people. Yeah, that was a surreal moment on the podcast when I got to interview him. Full stop. Full stop. I would love to interview him again. I would. Well, I mean, we've tried, or at least I've floated the idea and maybe you just drop the ball,
Starting point is 01:03:03 but we've tried to get him on a couple of the lines. No, I reached out to his team, and they said he wasn't doing interviews anymore. Whether, you know, I don't know. I take that for face value. I don't see him on 50 other podcasts, so I assume that's legit. Well, I mean, he did do that interview with Joe Warmington, but that was a really huge one offer. That was not a normal thing.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Goofy news. Now, I warn people, this is where we got 27 minutes before Tuesday's got to go, and I'm in the complete blank almost starting immediately. I'm going to start with this and I'm going to do something dangerous, folks. I'm going to give the reins over to twos and we're going to see what happens because I didn't get through any of this.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Prime Minister Carney launches new strategy to transform Canada's auto industry. Yeah, basically, instead of subsidizing the auto industry, he's going to provide rebates to people who buy them. And achieve a goal of 75% EV sales by 2035 and 90% EV sales by 2040. Now that flies in the face of Trudeau's thing saying, we're going to be no more EVs after 2035.
Starting point is 01:04:26 And it's a goal. It's not a mandate. So when you look at the finer points of the English, you know, the apostrophes and whatnot, they're slowly rolling back not only the timeline, but the language. And if we think that, I mean,
Starting point is 01:04:44 how many times have we covered? stories about buses. This is insane. Here's the next one. This is Melanie Jolie, Jolie, who apparently now is becoming automobile Barbie. She's talking about how wonderful this is. She says, despite global disruptions, Canada has led the automotive sector for over 158 years. With our new strategy, we're putting auto workers in the sector first so we continue building the best vehicles in the world for the world.
Starting point is 01:05:12 nobody thinks that Canada builds the best vehicles in the world. Nobody. But also, so she said for 158 years, the first car was patented in 1886, which was 140 years ago. So that's a little bit unfortunate. Do you expect anything else out of our politicians, though? They can't even do the simple research to find out when the first one was. Carry on.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Yes. All right. Nenshi is taking... They need Nenshi. This is the best headline I have probably ever seen. Nenshi taking horse dewormer drug Ivermectin to help with rare chronic face condition. So, yes, apparently he has Morbihan syndrome, which is some rare face thing. And he is taking ivermectin, which is outside of its prescribed use.
Starting point is 01:06:14 it's off label or whatever, what do they call it, when you can't use it for things it's not explicitly designed for? You know, the reason why they banned it for COVID back in the day, he's using the exact same reasoning to take the horse dewormer paste. So, yeah, because he has Morbihan syndrome, on top of also having morbidly obese syndrome, and his party has Moribund syndrome. Here is Nahed Nenshi literally talking about horse paste. If you go into the way back machine, here's Nahed Nenshi, shit talking, horse paste, which he is now taking. All right?
Starting point is 01:06:59 And here is Janice Irwin. Okay, Alberta, I hate that I have to say this, but please don't take horse de-warmer. Thanks so much, horse emoji. My, my, my, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions coming back to bite me in the ass. Correct. Okay. Now, this, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:07:22 I'm just going to show you guys this real quick rather than get into it. It's a good clip. But the gist of it is that anti-ice activists have set up roadblocks in their communities so that they can control who comes in and goes out. They've established what you might describe as being a border. The anti-ice protest. in an effort to stop people coming in that they don't want to come in to do things they don't want them to do in their communities have set up a border. No at all self-awareness.
Starting point is 01:08:02 It's great. There was a whole article about this, but not to be did a great job of summing it up. So I've got it in here. Former disgrace UCLA gynecologist. that's a guy who looks at, you know, well, yeah, those things. James Heaps, who is convicted of sex charges and sentenced to 11 years in prison, will now have his conviction thrown out after a judge determined one of the jurors couldn't understand English.
Starting point is 01:08:33 So anyway, there was a note that was given to the original judge saying that, hey, one of these guys on the jury can't understand English. I don't know how he got through the selection process, how the hell any of this happened, but the case for this sexual assault guy is being thrown out from the National Post. Sophie Gregor Trudeau says being uncoupled at 50 doesn't feel amazing. This whole entire puff piece about how difficult it is to be uncoupled at 50 and how uncoupling is totally different than divorce because it's way nicer and more gentle.
Starting point is 01:09:10 What happened to that doctor? She was banging. She was with that doctor. Yes, she was. Yeah, I'm guessing that he got sick of her shit. Like, could you imagine you have an actual PhD in something and you've got to spend your days talking to somebody whose largest mental pursuit has been bubbles?
Starting point is 01:09:33 I wonder why that never worked out. Ah, yes. The shamaw guy. Do you remember the shamaw guy? Who doesn't remember the shamaw guy? All right. Okay. Well, you're going to love my nuts.
Starting point is 01:09:51 Hey, it's Vince. I'm running for Congress against this guy. Stop having a politician that's worse than Biden. For, that's a discretionary funding. Instead, vote for me, a guy who's not half dead. I'm going to soak up the swamp, clean the house, and pick up those liberal tears at the same time. I'm going to slap chop the nuts out of the woke,
Starting point is 01:10:11 making less blue-haired commies and more red-blooded Americans. Vote for me so I can represent you and the ones that can't stand up for themselves. Vote for Shamow! Pay for my offer, Vince Shamaw-Shaw-Mash-Lomi for Congress. Hey. Yeah. That's an actual thing. So Shamwow is literally running for Congress?
Starting point is 01:10:30 Yeah. Shamwow is running for Congress. And he's going to slap chop the nuts out of woke. Yes. That's an actual thing that's happening. Irishman, we're going to skip it this week. Sorry, Irishman. I get it.
Starting point is 01:10:49 Follow you. You're delicious. Halifax taking part in federal gun buyback program, a mid Nova Scotia Premier's opposition. So Nova Scotia has said that they're not going to take part in this. And then the Halifax Regional Police said, oh, you're going to give us $830,000? Okay, well, yeah, we're going to do it despite the fact
Starting point is 01:11:09 that our literal province said the fuck we are not. Posted February 3rd, 2026. Three days ago. Sean, I'm not exactly sure. Was it one week ago that we talked about this on the matter? or was it two weeks ago that we talked about this exact thing that the CBC is now finally getting around to covering? I think a week, but forgive me on that. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:35 So we beat them by a week. The CBC with $1.4 billion in funding from taxpayers, it literally would be days further ahead if they got their news from us. This is why we win a war. Two guys who literally do this once a week and just cover things. Yeah. We don't have the $1.6 billion. Oh, that would be nice.
Starting point is 01:12:01 Two Memphis City council members claim snow is fake. People were putting up TikTok videos. So people in Tennessee don't really know that much about snow. They don't really, you know, the knowledge. They were claiming snow is fake? Yes. So there was people putting up TikTok videos of them trying to melt the snow with lighters. and because when they put it underneath the fire,
Starting point is 01:12:24 it was just sublimating rather than melting, they thought, oh, well, this snow has to be fake. And then these counselors got in on it. And they're like, oh, yeah, this is obviously, what is falling from our skies? Because it's definitely not snow. So, I mean, this is it. Snow is such a foreign concept to these people
Starting point is 01:12:48 that they've now established their own conspiracy theory that, I don't know, the government is doing something weird with with the administration the government is doing something weird but all you got to do is come to lloydminster alberta and you'll see snow yep um you're not going to see much here uh there's a tiny bit in the corner of the yard what's what's it what did temperature get there to's over the last week how high i had the AC on yesterday in my car no you did not i did oh my goodness i did now look it wasn't it wasn't like selma hyac 1990s hot, but it was definitely, it was definitely like Meg Ryan 2004.
Starting point is 01:13:31 You're Meg Ryan fan? No, I'm saying it wasn't really all that hot, but it was a little bit. All right. Carry on. Yeah, I'm not saying it was hot. I'm just saying it was warm. Okay. What did you think of Meg Ryan in the late 90s?
Starting point is 01:13:49 Yeah, it was kind of warm. She's kind of warm. Any of these units that you guys have done are moving ready. So nine of the homes in Nunavut are moving ready. We just got the notice very soon. And all these units will have shovels in the ground in 2026. And as you know, it takes some time to build the units. And we're still waiting for the money from this budget bill.
Starting point is 01:14:17 So the first Canadian housing bureaucracy, CMHC, says that we need to build half a million housing units a year. And you said we've built nine. nine nine nine nine in none of it so this is a billboard in San Francisco defensive player of the year that fisherman's wharf in San Francisco is evoking mixed reaction
Starting point is 01:14:48 so the Super Bowl is going to be in San Francisco so sleep face down or face up and somebody put up this billboard Defensive Player of the Year, Ice. This is funny because, you know, defensive. Now, this one I was really mad about. I can't show you this video because somebody pulled the copyright hammer on it.
Starting point is 01:15:13 But here's a picture of this guy who was in a boxing match with a toupee on and he gets hit in the head as people do in boxing matches and the toupee goes flying. Oh, that's too bad. I would have liked to have seen that. Yeah. Now, for those of you who have been wondering, like Sean, for the past couple weeks, why the hell do we keep covering William Shatner eating Raisinbrand in a car and the weird evolution that it's taken? Well, here's why.
Starting point is 01:15:52 Will Shad here, bringing fiber to the masses with Kellogg's Raisinbrand. Duty calls. Duty. Will shot? Every darn day. Whoa. Bye. Will Shad in the house.
Starting point is 01:16:12 Wait, Will Shat, where? Never mind. It's fiber time. Is that dog of Shih Tzu? Perfect. We'll shout on the car. You're too old for this, saying. Kellyn's reason, bread. High fiber, happy gut.
Starting point is 01:16:34 You know, I have nothing. I hate, I hate, saying twos is right sometimes but when you first i'm like what the heck are we doing showing william shatner eating raisin brand in a vehicle at a stop place forward a few weeks and it becomes and twos is right and and twos absolutely right well done twos well done that play i mean that only took two weeks that has been three mashups this is the third mashup we've covered up right first one i'm going the heck of you do it second i'm going oh that's interesting third i go this is brilliant.
Starting point is 01:17:06 Tews, you vote done yourself this week. Okay? Full stop. There you go. There's your compliment for the day. I think you might want to hold on to it because we've got probably the second best headline I've ever seen. Can you read it for us, Sean? Hospital evacuated after 8-inch World War I artillery shell discovered in patients' butt.
Starting point is 01:17:30 Yep. That's legit? That happened. A hospital in France was a. evacuated after a male patient arrived with a World War I artillery shell lodged in his butt. In his butt. The old prison wallet was ready to make a massive withdrawal. All right.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Oh, and I guess, oh, shoot. You got 13 minutes, twos. Pick it up here. Okay. Pick it up. You keep a littlebustering for half a second. I've got to bring up the next set of articles. Well, I'm just, I'm coming back to the new platform.
Starting point is 01:18:12 I'm just, I'm enjoying it right now. We've only scratched the surface. I think of what it's capable of other than getting booted and like Natasha Gonic says, probably sees us just saying hello. Other than that, it's been relatively smooth. There's a couple things on our end. It doesn't tabulate how many people are watching on X. I'm already seeing that.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Yeah. Which is interesting to me because I've been kind of searching that out in the background while you've been talking. So that's interesting. but other than that, the user, you know, like I even think Rumble on my end. I'd normally have to do that separately. And this is automatic. So I'm curious to explore this a bit more.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Pros and cons. Okay, here we go. All right. Canadian polls are garbage, folks. Here is why. Okay, look, I talk about this every once in a while whenever it comes up. Did Cardi's speech make you think of him more or less favorably? And then much more favorably, somewhat, somewhat less and much less.
Starting point is 01:19:06 without any frame of reference, this is completely meaningless. And also, there's no option for no change. So, for example, I don't like Mark Carney at all. So my opinion of him, depending on what they gave me for options, would be the bottom one. Okay. Now, did I have seeing him more favorably or less favorably? Well, in that case, it's literally impossible for me to see him less favorably. So I would go with no change.
Starting point is 01:19:35 So first off, they don't have. have a no change option. And secondly, there's no frame of reference for where these are moving from. Okay. Think physics. A vector needs a velocity and a direction. Okay. And that's the thing, is that with this, you don't know. There's no fucking true north in this. It's completely worthless. Canadian support arrival of more Chinese electric vehicles poll suggests. There's nothing in there about people who just don't give a shit about EVEs at all. Like, should we have more,
Starting point is 01:20:11 should we have less? What should we do with them? It's... Ten minutes, too. Stupid. Okay. I hate keeping you on track here, but you got ten minutes.
Starting point is 01:20:19 This is how you do a good survey. This is a study just released that has covered political stances since 1988. Okay? and this picture is the top is right and the bottom is left. And so it shows that while left-leaning people have become, well, I mean, it's measured mathematically, but for the sake of this, the graph has gone down about 30% for left people. So the left has become 30% more left since 1988.
Starting point is 01:20:57 the right has gone up what looks like maybe one or two percent it's pretty much as like you've got to really zoom in on that to tell it's not a straight line correct it's it's like a one degree angle and so when people are like well i don't know what happened to the right why did the right lose their minds the right hasn't fucking moved okay and then i'm just in the middle saying government sucks at everything and they should do as little as possible but the people on the right haven't moved and the people on the left have gotten progressively more crazy. Believe it or not, it seems like it might be kind of a far left idea to cut the dicks off of children. Like it's a big deal, Sean. Like when you go for that surgery in Canada, like, no, no, no,
Starting point is 01:21:45 if you go to gender reassignment surgery in Canada, you got to have somebody pick you up, right? Because it's that big of a surgery that you can't drive afterwards. Do you know why? Because you're a woman. I don't know. Somebody asked, oops, not thumbs up. Stream yards, question mark. Stream yard is the streaming service that me and twos have been using for... Historically. 190 mashups, probably.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Well, that's not... I don't know, probably like 150 matchups. No, it's been more than that. Because we use Riverside before that and then... No, we use Riverside for literally one. One. That's all. One.
Starting point is 01:22:29 I'm pretty sure. Nope. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You could be pretty sure all you want. This one I got your case on. It was one. That's it.
Starting point is 01:22:38 All right. Okay. Carry on. I just, you're wrong, but I don't have time to deal with it. Okay. Sure. Recent poll suggesting that the liberals have 50% support in Canada and conservatives have 35% and then you've got the NDP at 4% because they're not a serious party.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Look at the age breakdown. there were about, well, it was under 5% of the people sampled were age 15 to 34, and almost two-thirds of the people were 65 or older. Yeah. And so this is the kind of thing. You saw it, or at least you saw the potential for it in that recent poll about support for Western sovereignty in Alberta, where they specifically, said that there was a huge
Starting point is 01:23:34 discrepancy between federal support and urban support and they didn't break down how much of each was in the survey and so presumably if you wanted to make a completely misleading survey you could say hey it's
Starting point is 01:23:52 this level and not say how many or which way okay uh six minutes okay illegal alien kills four Amish men in Indian semi-crash in the States? Claire says you finally acknowledge this on YouTube. My apologies, I wasn't trying to stick away from YouTube by any stretch,
Starting point is 01:24:09 but I'm glad you're watching on YouTube. Not really. YouTube kind of sucks. Maybe not for this streaming thing, but the amount of times I get booted off there, Claire, maybe there's a reason why I don't acknowledge YouTube that much on the stream. Two is your thoughts. Illegal alien in a semi-crash killed four Amish men in Indiana.
Starting point is 01:24:30 Okay. I got to show you you're literally not going to believe this. You're going to say there is no way that. Do I need sound on for this or no? Yeah, yeah, throw some sound on. This video posted to social media shows the moments before a semi-truck was taken off the highway. That is what the driver was looking through. Both side windows of the cab smashed out and covered with duct tape and the windshield severely damaged.
Starting point is 01:24:59 That's their mirror that they have attempted to red green together with duct tape. How a professional driver could get behind the wheel of that vehicle, deem it safe for operation after a pre-trip inspection and take it on the road, is something that is just beyond comprehension. Calgary-based company, Southwest Bulk, says the drug... All right, we're in hurry up offense. Hurry up offense. I tell you what, with that video, the best part of it was the red-green reference
Starting point is 01:25:34 for those of us that remember. Oh, yeah, yeah. That is wild. If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. Streetcar service resumed after removal of cars stuck in Queens Quay Tunnel. This is... If you're new to the show, we've been showing the state of our highways.
Starting point is 01:25:59 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't shush me. Boom. That is. Oh, let's watch it again. Let's watch that again. Is that a car jumping off an overpass onto the oncoming traffic underneath it? Cah-Bluey, yes, it is.
Starting point is 01:26:18 Look, folks, I get it. Things are different here. It's not the same. It's not where you came from. Okay. Look, I get it. In your country, everybody flies around on carpets. But here, our vehicles are incapable.
Starting point is 01:26:32 Okay. They come down. They come down. Yep. Did they survive that? There's no way they survived that. Not sure. Carry.
Starting point is 01:26:42 Okay. Experience Regina. Car flipped over at the sign. Hungary is banning LGBTQ and whatever else letters are on it today. In schools. Boy swam out miles to save family swept out to sea. 13-year-old boy cited with saving his mother

All you need would be Jamie Sinclair snoring in the background. It'd be great. Tews, everyone, thanks for hopping on. on Mashup 194.
Starting point is 01:28:18 We're here every Friday, 10 a.m. Mountain Standard time. And we look forward to seeing you next week when Toos is going to debate on whether Alberta should stay or go Canada. Two's, any final thoughts from the back of the screen? Having puppies is awesome, folks. We'll catch up to you next week, folks. Okay. Tell me whether I'm wrong or right.
