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. 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 mashup. Welcome to the mashup.

Welcome to the mashup. Welcome to the mashup. Welcome to the mashup. Welcome to the mashup, folks. Mashup 202. I told twos, no rant today. All right? It's good Friday.

I thought, you know, I better pop on and just be like, this is a pretty important day in my world. I don't know about you guys. You don't have to believe what I believe. But, you know, today Jesus was crucified. We all know how that story played out. And I just thought it would be important instead of a rant. And I know everybody's ready for that. We've been kind of discombobulated the last, what, two, three weeks with the mashup.

Either two's been gone, I've been gone, or I'm running a show. show. And so I just wanted to wish everybody happy. Well, there's Jim, right? Happy Good Friday, right? This is an important date. And I think it'd be wise to treat it as such. So I'm not saying we got to tone down today. I've already a mashup world on Fridays. We always go full throttle. Tuesday, I never put the leash on Tuesday, as you all know. but today instead of rant, I thought I'd come on and let everybody, maybe remind even myself the importance of today. Today is a pretty dang important day, and I wish you all the best. Hopefully you're spending it with friends and family and maybe even a church service and just getting into, you know, why this weekend is so important. Either way, appreciate you all being here.

I don't think it's a somber day. I think it's a day to be celebrated. And twos! you're coming in hot, big fella. I took over the mic this morning. If I may, for those of you who celebrate this sort of thing, it may very well be the ultimate Airborne Friday. There you go.

Happy Airborne Friday to everybody. How's How's Two's doing this week? Tews is doing good. Have you recovered? Have I recovered? Yeah. Everybody's been asking me if I've recovered from the Cornerstone Forum. I know you went pretty hard, so I'm just kind of curious, have you recovered?

I could literally draw with a marker exactly where my liver is as a result of that weekend. So that, in that sense, yes, there was a definite recovery, but that's the only sense because I'm usually, I don't know, people will probably be surprised to hear this, but I'm fairly introverted. like I I like just my space my time you know being of all the things on 202 I thought I was going to hear that is not it did anybody have that other twos introvert nope no I mean I don't I don't enjoy fishing for the social aspect of you for a very long time you've never been like I'm an introvert actually twosier the definition of the opposite. Anytime I'm coming through, you're not like, sorry, man, I'm just hanging out by myself and don't stop by. You're always like, no, no, stop in. And then you take all what you're supposedly doing, throw it over there and hang out with me. That isn't an introvert. That's, okay. I think, I think just because people do things, so introvert being somebody who

kind of recharges their batteries when they're by themselves, extrovert being like, they recharge their batteries by being around other people, being the last. human on the on the planet and an extrovert would probably be a pretty bad thing I'm I'm thinking but uh yeah so that's you know where my mind resets and you know I start feeling good about things and everything else is when I've got solace or pardon me uh solitude and uh the cornerstone forum was the exact opposite of that like it was it was a very social experience and I left it just being supercharged and full of energy and there was I talked to it seemed like everybody there but also at the same time I felt like there were so many other

people that I wanted to talk to that I didn't you know a face I saw in the crowd where I was like oh no way they're here I better go talk to them and then I don't see them again and there was there was dozens of instances like that like even you know I wanted to actually say hi to neal all of aside from introducing him on stage and I never got a chance to do that and I was kind of disappointed, right? And there was just so many like, oh, I want to do that and oh, I want to do that

because there was so many other things which were all super awesome and I just left with a full tank of gas. That's cool. You want to do me a favor for whatever reason I can never seem to play things on my end. You want to go on my ex and find the trailer it should be down three or four tweets

and we could play the recap of of the Cornerstone Forum in case people missed it. I wouldn't mind doing that. One of the things I was going to tag on to what you're saying about walking around and seeing people, what I said when I got on stage was like, man, some of my favorite people are in this audience.

Everywhere I went, I ran into my favorite people. And, oh, no, I'm going to echo. I'll mute that. Yeah,

right there, up one, up one. Yep, right there, click on that. And I try and to still, That down for you at the Cornerstone Forum.

I try and bring in the people that have really challenged my way of thinking, sharpen my mind, and you're going to get to hear from a whole bunch of those people today. What you hear today are things that should get you out of bed in the morning. They should inspire you. They should make you want to be more disciplined to carry them out. And at the end of the day, you should be ready to take a risk. Instead of saying that everything we're using is money, that's not money. That's currency.

It's not a store of value. How can you make that peg fit in that hole for me? Can we queue up mother Maybell Carter? I saw the lie. If all you've done is tell the truth, you don't have anything to worry about. Canada flag? So buckle up. Challenge the ideas you hear, listen well.

And most importantly, I want you to connect with the people around you because the real value of this forum isn't just what's set on stage. It's the conversations that continue long afterward on up here and you leave this room. They did a really good job. That was Jericho and Lucas, the bang-up job. Absolutely bang-up job. Yeah, they were phenomenal. I was really impressed with them.

And it's funny because, like, I'd met Jericho before for one of the live streams. and and I just you know how the live streams you end just sort of blown out and you can't remember anything and like I don't know. It's a drain. It's a dream. Yeah. Yeah. But like you can't even remember the specific points of it or anything like that.

And then he was talking. I was, oh yeah. Like I couldn't quite put it together. And then even when I was being interviewed for that, you know, what did you think of the Cornerstone forum, right? dude introduces or he's like okay and where are we right now well we're at the western hotel you know and I'm going on about the

physical place that we're in rather than oh yeah the cornerstone forum that's that's where you're going with that yes well I tell you what I'll say it on here too thanks for hosting too if you weren't there two's MCD

event and we're going to get on to all the headlines I know I appreciate your kind words leading into one of the Cornerstone releases the other day. That was very nice. It was well received. Well, I put a lot of thought. If people haven't figured out, I put a lot of thought into the Cornerstone Forum. And it's kind of become the, I don't know, what's the premier event of what I do?

Everything leads towards it. I don't know what the heck that's called to is you probably have a word for it. you might say it's the pinnacle, the apex, the climax? Sure. Sure. I mean, you said a word, but I give you three. You know, funny story about emceeing with Sean is, you know, and he loves to talk about how he's a stickler for time, right?

And so I'm going to be doing like maybe about a 90-second intro at best for the individual speakers. And then by like, I don't know, 20 minutes in. into the cornerstone forum. I'm just throwing all the papers in the air and rewriting everything. And I'm going through and I'm like, well, I've got written down.

He is, and I'm like, no, no, no, he's, because that's one syllable shorter. And I can cut down on the time a little bit.

Because Sean over here is like, yeah, so your 90 second intro, we need to shave eight minutes off of it. And, well, in fairness, you got to see how my brain works at the show.

Yeah, most people don't get to see, how my brain works at the show, right? Like I'm constantly evaluating time and making sure... That's the only way to keep it on time, right? Right, right. If you don't pay attention to it,

all of a sudden five minutes goes by and you're five minutes back and you don't have to get it. At the start of the show, how many minutes were we behind? Like about 40 minutes in, we're eight minutes behind. We're literally eight minutes behind.

And then every time you're up on stage, whoever you're sitting there with is like, oh, the time is up. And you're like, it's okay, it's fine. It's my show. I'll run it a little bit late. and then meanwhile, I'm just like, okay, so apparently

the intro's just gonna be like, this fucking guy, everybody clap. Correct. Well, you gotta make it seem natural on stage. I can't go, oh yeah, you're right. Absolutely time, cut it off. The thing that transitions do is there's ways to shave a little bit here and a little bit there.

And Tews has his way of walking up, And we all know it. He's got a couple of clever points. He's going to make on everybody. And I was like, you got to speed it up. You just got to find a way to speed it up. I wasn't saying shave off a minute. I was saying speed it up, which to him is like, I got to change out a few words.

Listen, now you know, you've been through it once, too. Now you know what's coming. There were several points during the day where I did want to set you on fire. That's correct. From the bottom of my heart. We're sitting there and Mel leans over me and goes to two. has Sean given you one of his lectures today? And they both start laughing.

And I'm like, lecture. I'm just trying to keep it on time. That's all I'm trying to do. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. So Melan Tews had a moment. Okay. Let's get this show on the road.

Okay. We've been 12 minutes now. Nobody wants to listen to us. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We're 12 minutes over time, Sean. Is that what's going on? We're 12 minutes over time.

Yes. Okay. Where do you want to start? You want to start with Lisa Guttell? Is that where we're starting? Yeah. Okay. All right.

You want to pull out? This is a lady who is a professor at in Edmonton. So you of Alberta. Now, for those of you already guessing, yes, she's fucking retarded. So what happened is is that Alberta, like the UCP tabled a lot of bills this week that we're going to talk about. One of them is a bill to reduce child access to sex images and libraries. And Lease Gatel says, let's be clear. A high proportion of teens are already sending, receiving, and forwarding sexual images,

even non-consensually. They're not going to the library to search out graphic novels. Perfect, perfect logic. I just, I love this. Okay. So by this same logic, lots of kids already drink alcohol. So libraries should serve booze. There was a lot of really poorly thought out pushback on this.

So for example, here's some lady named Allie Girl. whose pronouns, believe it or not, are she her? I live in a province with book bans. This is a bad place. And she turned off the comments after a while. She's competing about book bans while literally doing a reply ban. Correct. This is what we deal with.

Now, this is Western Standard. Yes, the BCNEP orders secret campaign to kill Alberta's plan, new northern oil pipe. pipeline internal October 16, 2025 briefing note told ministers to mount the countercase with experts, opponents, and adverse impact studies, while Eby publicly insisted there was no proponent, no route, no project. These are our partners in Confederation. They're not interested in whether it makes sense.

They're not interested in whether something's a good idea or not. They're not interested in the jobs it creates, the, the well-being of the people in their own province who are going to be presumably constructing something like this. It's ideology, first, last, and always. And that's it. The NDP, I think I've said this before. I hope I don't have a reason to say it again on this week's episode. But the NDP are not a serious party.

There. I can't even, I'm sorry. My wife, folks, watches probably almost zero Canadian politics. but when we get to the rest of the NTP conversation, that convention, I had her laughing about it. I can't wait. I wish we did just an hour on it, Tews.

I could almost take all the news and let Tuse do a full skit and sit back and laugh with everybody today. Now, we're not going to do that. Actually, just a friendly heads up. By the way, folks, that's how we're ending the show. So the community notes, the happy news, that's not the end of the show. The end of the show is the NDP.

It's going to be the climax of the show. So the food for professor. My regular column, here's this tweet. My regular column with LaPresse has been suspended indefinitely this week after 25 years and more than a thousand columns. This was not my decision. The decision is linked to a recent public comments I made on social media regarding the involving media landscape in Canada,

including reflections on government support for media and its potential implications. I understand that these are. sensitive and complex issues, and my remarks may not have aligned with publications' perspective. While I'm disappointed, I fully respect their decision, and remain grateful for the opportunity I've had to contribute over the years. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's your, the one thing you absolutely needed to read in addition to the start of it is I was

never compensated for my columns and have personally supported la press through a paid subscription throughout that time. He has literally paid them to write over a thousand articles, over 25 years. And they said, well, you're against government subsidy of media in this country. Therefore, you can no longer pay us to write for us. Yeah. This is how we're doing a note.

Swear's episode in light of Good Friday. This is how incredibly... Messed up. Messed up. How incredibly upside down this country is. Yes, we're run by a bunch of rooster slurpers, too. That's exactly what we got going on today. And we've got a whole bunch of them wanting a $90 billion train between two cities

in Ontario and that place I call Quebec. We're going to get to that. Okay. It's literally what we're getting to. Oh, that's what we're getting to next. How long did it take to build the TransCanada Railway? What is the distance? And how long did it take to build the...

Is it Eglinton? How do I say that word? Egglington. Egglington? LRT and Trin. What is the distance of that? Please include the cost. Okay, so this is what GROC came back with the Canadian Pacific Railway,

the original TransCanada, transcontinental, span 4,000 plus kilometers, or 2700 miles for any American list. from eastern Canada to the Pacific. Construction 1881 to 1885. Think about that for a second, folks. Four years and they built a railway that spanned the country, okay? The cost, 52 million Canadian at the time. The current Eglinton Cross Town LRT, 19 kilometers,

construction 2011 to 2026, so 15 years, and the cost 13 billion. 13 billion. The original cost was expected to be $5 billion, and it's now at $13 billion over 15 years. And so the point people are making is that, so first off, the government says it's going to cost $90 billion to make. This is a $90 billion project.

Now, for those of you who followed the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion, if you were to take that same budgeting logic and apply it to this, you're looking at somewhere near a trillion dollars is what it would take for this to get built with roughly triple the timeline. Okay. So this is like a multi-generational project that would cost significantly more than the entire sovereign debt of Canada up until Trudeau got elected. And people are saying it's a good idea.

And then, and then I love the arguments like, oh, well, Western Canada got the Trans Mountain pipeline. Why can't we have something? First off, we didn't fucking want it. So you're comparing apples to retards. Okay. We didn't want it. And more importantly, there was a private company wanting to do it and pay for it the

whole time who had to back out. because of federal overreach and stupid legislation and economic devastation policies. I am really having a hard time not swearing while I'm talking about the Trans Mountain Pipeline. Well, I tell you what, it's just wild to me to watch or to look at the stats of that, right? Four years, 15 years, just like cost, distance, everything, you go four years to 15 years. years, we, we're not a serious country, too. So like when we're talking about major projects, it's like building a, building a railway, okay.

I can get behind building things. But then you look at the timeline, the cost, everything, you're like, that doesn't, that literally doesn't make any sense. Me and two's both know, there is some money going to some shady places in that deal. There always is. We're going to find out about it in the coming days, months, weeks, whatever we go, how far out. And we're just going to be like, I mean, come on, we can see this coming from a how are you not surprised. Claire says hi. Claire, you need to reach out to Sean. I need to talk to you

about something personal. Well, because I, well, I got to meet her at the Cornerstone Forum. Yes, you did. And you and I were talking about the thing that we're not ready to talk about here that we need to get Claire in on. So Claire, talk to Sean. All righty then. That's a cliffhanger folks. Okay, how much Pierre Pollyev's by-election could cost Canadians? The by-election that returned conservative leader Pierre Paulyev to parliament cost taxpayers more than 2.3 million, according to estimates. Yeah. There you go. That's the thing. That's the article. We're entering a bunch of by-elections, two of which were caused by

by basically placeholders for the liberals who stuck around just long enough to win the election and then are bowing out. We've got Bill Blair and Christopher Freeland who basically said, okay, we're going to help you win the election and then peace out mofos. And this article is just about how much it costs Pierre Pollyev

to win his by-election, which is bullshit. To be fair, to be fair, the fact that Pollyev did this is malarkey. I suck at this. Noxworth thing. You know, you know,

The story we got coming on Mount Everest. You think there's a scam in here with by-elections and the amount of money being thrown at it and somebody getting away filthy rich? Yeah, they're called bureaucrats. Yeah. I won't spoil. Literally our whole economy is propped up.

The number one employer in this country is the federal government. I won't spoil the... But you're about to... Mount Everest story. Yeah. Organizers of Alberta separatism petition or independence, as we like... to call it, say signature goal has been reached one month ahead of deadline. Yeah. I mean, if I was thinking through things a little bit better, that would have been

underneath the happy news, but I think this is great. I didn't mention this. It's big news. Hey, listen, and you're sitting here in Alberta. Don't get me wrong. Do you want the number to be a million signatures? Sure. But I think most people are like, we just want the referendum. Can we get to the referendum? Well, the first thing you had to do is you had to hit the signature goal. And so now I would suggest, and I think twos would mirror that, you still need more signatures because they're going to find a signature or 50 or whatever the number comes out. You're going to keep pushing.

A little trail of the E at the end going into the next box. Doesn't count, doesn't count, doesn't count. I really want to have scrutiners. And there isn't a method to do this, but we need scrutiners observing the validation process. for these signatures. Keith, Keith, who Keith Wilson,

Monday's episode, says that's happening. Nice! Yeah, he walks me through a whole bunch of different things and I'm like, I don't know if I fully understood what you said,

but it sounds like we're going to have some eyes on this so that you can take away some of the shady business. Yeah, Monday's episode, if you're interested in anything to do with the independence movement, the petition,

the referendum, Keith Wilson's on, and he walks me through a whole chunk of it. All right. Michelle says, quick question, guys,

any chance of you both taking part in the Priorit Rising Forum this year? We need to have a chat. Absolutely. What date? Well, that's exactly it.

Well, we'll get into that. All right. We'll get into that, but yes. Well, you know my big news at the end. I'll talk about it here

at some point in the mashup because you would know it, but if you didn't attend the forum, you wouldn't know it. Okay. I didn't talk about this, but during, I had a buddy who got,

like, got brought into the VIP section of the conservative AGM in Calgary a couple months ago. Okay. And I was like, did anybody talk about separatism? And he was like, yeah. And they all did the exact same thing. Anytime it came up. And this is where like all the executives sat.

This is like the executive area where where the fancy suit wearing executive people all sat. And the fancy people. Polyev went around shaking. Fancy people and twos buddy. Yeah, yeah. Well, he was just like, he was like a plus one of, I'm not going to get into the specifics, but he's the eye candy. I get it. Yeah, yeah.

I don't denigrate eye candy. So, anyway, anytime separation came up with any of these people, they all did the exact same thing. They went, looked over their shoulders one way, the other way, and then leaned in close and said, we need to get the fuck out of this country. And that's every business leader. This is why polls won't work. I was having this conversation on the weekend. Right? The polls show it's only, take your pick.

25%, 38% regardless, not enough to get a clear majority. Right? That's the logic. But that story right there is what I've been talking about. You know how many people are terrified to put their name on anything? To talk about this anywhere? A lot. So, I mean, does that mean all of a sudden a clear majority?

have no idea. I just know there's more people that are talking about this that don't want to talk openly. Certainly aren't talking about it as openly as me and twos have done. And certainly aren't bringing canvassers to, I don't know, the Mashpiel or the Cornerstone Forum. So you can imagine. By the way, you know,

like all the vendors, awesome. But especially the fact that we had we, I'm saying we, but it was, for those of you who don't know, I basically just was the eye candy and a few intros. That was Sean's event. I don't denigrate. I'm not denigrating myself. It's just credit where credit is due.

But there was a petition signing station set up in the vendor's booths. And I don't know how well they did, but I know that myself, I got a handful of signatures while I was there. Did you? Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm a canvasser, right? Yep. They got, it wasn't a crazy amount, but they were pumped. They text me about it. And has anybody seen the video of twos I released that they recorded of them there? I thought they'd get a job when you said, you haven't seen that yet? Which, which one? I literally, where you're talking about the Weston.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, I did see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. That's good. You're like, oh, yeah, the MC and then they flashed to you on stage. That was great. That was great. Sorry, we're talking about things.

Anyways, saving Canada via the free market. I'll get back to doing what we're supposed to be doing here, folks. This goes into that whole separation thing and the executives unwilling to talk about how broken this country is. Yeah, everyone wants to say the Petroleum Club, but no one wants to say it in public confides Brian Gould, Shell Canada, M&A veteran, and now executive chair of the founder of Aspen Leaf, Energy of Private Canadian

Light Oil and Gas Producer. The only politically viable path forward on energy tells me, However, unhelpable for Prime Minister Mark Carney, given the worldview and his book values, is to stop the game, strip away the barriers, and let the free market work. The vilification of extraction of the materials that are to the foundation for our society, this has to stop, right? He tells me, it's going to take grit and determination and willpower to confront the hard issues. And for me, a lot of this is about having more forthright, truthful conversations with Canadians.

Yeah, we've been doing that. have honest conversations about how things are broken, exactly where they've been broken and why they were broken. And from my perspective, why just walking away from something that's broken makes way more sense than trying to fix it. At some point, there will be enough hail damage on the car

that you've got to write it off. And that's literally Confederation. All right. Here we go. We got Ellen Harper, the sister-in-law of former prime Minister Stephen Harper won the conservative nomination in Calgary Confederation last night. This means she will run against Liberal MP Cory Hogan in the next federal election.

I just, this is the issue. Did you ever notice that we never talk about anything Ben Mulroney has to say on the show? Hmm. I don't know if that's, are you saying that that's like strategic or we just don't do it? That is strategic. That is very strategic on my part. Okay. I don't care who the relation is, what the relation is, what their policies are, what they think, what they believe.

After the last decade in this country, regardless, across the board, if you are a relation to a politician, I don't want to hear from you. I'm not willing to take that chance. It doesn't matter who they are or what they do. You want dusty boots, politicians. I want dusty boots politicians. Like I, I, um, I, um, I, emcee an event, uh, for, for a friend Shane Getson a while back. And, you know, I talked about the, the, um, the UCP people that he had there at the event and their backgrounds, where they came from, what they did and what they still continued to do, which was mostly farming. And I said, you know, it's, it's pretty rare that.

You'll go to an event like this. And if somebody tracks shit on the floors, if somebody tracks cow shit on the floors, it's the guys up front speaking to you. And we absolutely need more of that. And so, yeah, if it's Ben Mulrooney or Justin Trudeau or Xavier Trudeau or Ellen Harper, not interested.

I don't care. I don't care. Carolyn Mulroney doesn't matter. I don't want to hear from any of them. If the reason why I know your name is because your dad was a politician or your brother-in-law was a politician, that's all I need to hear. Move along. European women don't want to date low- IQ, sexually aggressive migrants. Yes.

So there was a study saying that male refugees from Afghanistan and Syria in Germany show a keen interest in forming relationships with local women, but local women show little interest in forming relationships with them. And it basically says that the reason why there's all these rape gangs going around Europe is because there's all these men coming to Europe and seeing the attractive European women and wanting to get busy with them, but none of them are interested in reciprocating it. So they see their own women. They've got, like it's not like Syrian women just stopped to. existing or Afghanistan women or any country, but they just, they see the beautiful German

women. And they're like, no, no, we're good. And it's, it's kind of this thinly veiled excuse for the rape gangs. But here's the other thing, though, is I can kind of see where they're coming from. Like, just imagine you move to Europe as a refugee, okay? And then you go vacationing back home and you're telling your friends, you would not believe how beautiful these women are here. Like they have two eyebrows. And then your friends would be like, what? Like they have two heads?

No, no, no, no. There's no hair above their noses. And not only that, there's no hair under their noses. And then your friends would be all like, women like that exist? Yeah, you just got to go to Europe. okay well so so you're just like hooking up with these girls all over the place then well not exactly apparently not it'd be like you know if you ever go down to states like um Tennessee or Georgia where the women are all just absolutely perfect where they're amazing where they get cast out

from the entire citizenry if any of them ever gets a zit they'll just be chasing them down the road with rocks like that scene from Harry and the Henderson's for the tiniest blemish where there's like this this leper colony outside of town where they put all the nines okay this is this is they're comparatively that please tell me

please tell me you have a headline for me to read for Canada Post I haven't figured out headl I don't even well Unbelievable. Candipose strike continues. Tuse no longer has headlines for me.

He's slacking, okay? Chooz is, Can't the post? Do you see how much work went into this? Did you, do you have any idea? You know, you complain about like how I throw all kinds of stuff at you last minute? You took all of that and you distilled it down to near solid form. And that's what you did to me during the Cornerstone Forum.

did you see how many times did you see how many times everybody was out conversing and enjoying themselves or paying attention to the speakers and I was writing furiously like like Stephen King in the 80s I did and I'd walk over and give them crap

you gotta be better you gotta be faster I'm like I'm writing as fast as I can so all right all right Canada Post okay Canada Post moving head with planned to end home delivery Canada Post says it's moving

head with the restructuring plan mandated by the federal government in the fall, which could permanently end door-to-door mail delivery. The Crown Corporation said the broad transformation of its business model will ensure we can meet the evolving needs of Canadians without becoming

a recurring burden on taxpayers. Good luck with that last bit. I think we all know that Canada Post will never be anything but a recurring burden on taxpayers. They've never ever been anything but a recurring burden on taxpayers.

And they're working with unions that are recurring burden on taxpayers. And the government, which is pretty much by definition a recurring burden on taxpayers. You have all of these people conglomerating into one beautiful smorgas board of idiocy saying that one aspect of it won't be a recurring burden on taxpayers. I don't believe you for a for a. for a second. Liberals plan to buy back 136,000 banned guns

and fewer than half that many were declared. The federal public safety menors officers said 67,000. How about this? How about this? Sure. Why don't you give me a synopsis of this article as you go through it? Just give me like the basic breakdown

of what they're talking about when. Or, okay, how about this? I'll do it, I'll do it, Because I probably did a poor job of explaining that. Yes, he did. This article starts off by talking about a guy in Ottawa who's trying to get rid of his deceased. Deceased father's rifle and how he has been trying to register for this program, but has met administrative hurdles.

Believe it or not, the government program is overwrought with administrative hurdles. And so the majority of this article talks about this guy's ongoing. He wants to give a gun back, but the government's incompetent. He can't give said gun back. Mm-hmm. And so, and then it goes into Polly Cessivant, which is Natalie Provost. And I don't know why there's a distinction at all anymore, especially now that she's a literal member of parliament,

giving drastically under, like drastically low false numbers about how many guns there are out there to make the participation rate seem artificially high. Correct. And then, and then there's a quick, like, two-second thing from Tracy Wilson. Tracy Wilson, Vice President of Public Relations for CCFR, says it's typical for the liberals to blame everybody but themselves for failed programs. She said the low uptake shows gun owners are rejecting the program, not confused about it. I think liberals should go back to the drawing table and have. have a look at their program and figure out why it failed.

And then it goes back into this guy and how he's trying to get his gun. Basically, the implied reason why the gun buyback program, which is poorly named, was such a failure, is because it was set up poorly. Not because everybody said, no, we are literally not doing that. Okay. It's it's not because Gary agreed to disagree, leaked, had audio leaked of him saying that, was performative BS in order to garner Quebec votes. None of that.

The reason, if you read this article, the conclusion you would draw is that the reason why the gun buyback was such a monumental failure is because guys like Dave Hicks, who were unable to get rid of their father's, their deceased father's rifle. Yeah, I mean, the gun buyback program, what was it? ago maybe where we went through everybody who was not going along with it. These are full provinces. These are literally police units from, I don't know, all over Ontario, not to mention further abroad.

It's just laughable at this point. The fact they're still pushing it. There was an independence article. Do you want me to read the independence article mixed in here? Which one? People in Alberta are rightfully upset by the way they've been treated by the federal government for decades. Yeah. Yeah, believe it or not, I've got all kinds of time for Alberta independence. After 10 years, Justin Trudeau, it's come to a head.

People are angry and they want to be heard. They're sick and tired of how Ottawa has treated us. They're ticked off and they want a say. That was in the middle of the article. I just pulled that and I'm like, I don't even, yes. Yes. Now, it hits the nail on the head and you're actually getting to a point where there's, as much as they want to call it a fringe minority,

we're getting to a point where some of the mainstream media is grudgingly giving people fair airtime to honestly express their thoughts and opinions on separation. This is the Overton window shifting. Yes. Yes. And I just had a couple of texts coming from Saskatchewan, which is super cool, because they're rooting. for us, right? And I think if you're looking at Canada, wherever you sit and you're like,

what is going on, you should be rooting for it as well. Because it can change the very fabric of what is going on in this country. Am I wrong, Tews? Oh, you're absolutely not wrong. I think it's, I think it's great. It's wonderful. That, shoot, that, that frog you had on there last week. I was listening to that one. And I found it. Yes, we should absolutely have him on for for when we do the Quebec election live stream. You know what? We were talking about off air, knowing where I'm heading this year, right?

I'm like, can I time out being in Quebec for that election? Because what Daniel Turp was saying is he would come on with us for majority of it and explain things as we go. Well, you know what? Given the timing, actually, why don't you just make that announcement right now? about what I'm doing. Yeah, or any other announcement you think I mean, yes, that one.

Beginning of July, Mel and I and the three kids are leaving for a year. We're going across Canada and into the States. So everybody just, if you haven't heard this, no panic. Sean's not leaving Alberta. I am leaving. We're going on, we're going to take the podcast on their own. We're going to go interview people across Canada and in the States and probably hopefully explore some new discussions not only around Alberta.

independence and what different parts of the country think, but just running the people that have interviewed like this two's for a very long time. And so the show was going on the road, and that happens July. So we're, we're starting in Alberta. We're planning on, uh, uh, you know, some different people in Alberta, probably one of the name twos having an in person and carrying on, um, one of the ones, I know this is like a complete side. I've wanted to interview quickdicks. dad big mustache owl correct for like probably three years and we're going to make that happen when we go through and and then i mean there's a whole bunch of other people somebody had commented i was on jason levine's uh morning show today talking about the forum and one of them mentioned shadow

davis well that's possibility right like you just take all the canadian names they're all possibilities because in theory i'm going right by them and i want to meet more and more of them in person and sit and have a conversation live, you know, instead of virtual. You should go to Ottawa and heist the Royal Canadian Mint. Can you imagine sitting here? Where's Sean today? There's a big headline of me being hauled out of the Canadian Mint, trying to steal gold.

What is to get away with it? And then we could do like the basic instinct defense, where you'd just be like, if I was going to do this heist, Why would I be so stupid as to talk about it publicly ahead of time? I don't have a short skirt and long legs, too. You have neither one of those. Correct.

But you could totally do the, what are you going to do? Arrest me for smoking? So anyways, yes, lots of big things coming here in 2026. And with the Quebec election coming up. I think, I feel like given the success of the federal one, it probably wouldn't be a bridge too far for me to justify flying to Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport. And coming and doing the election live from Quebec? Why not?

Ooh, big ideas this morning. Big ideas this morning. We don't want Sean on crossing his legs. Kevin, we don't want Sean on crossing his legs. Kevin is one of those people I talked to for like two seconds. maybe twice, and I didn't get nearly enough time to chat with. So that was kind of sad. Okay. Moon. Let's pull this. We're all over the place today.

Moon, okay? Yeah. Speaking of being all over the place. I don't know. I just want to leave with it. The Artemis Moon-based project is legally, well, no, whatever, it doesn't matter. Artemis is going off to the moon. Two's where would you like to go? To the moon. To the moon. That is why. That is why we're going back to the freaking moon.

So for those of you who don't know, there is currently a space shuttle on its way to do a lap around the moon. They're going out and back again. Or at least that's the plan. They ran into a few hangups. But things seem to be going fairly well so far. The walrus, which is probably one of the dumbest, people in the news space other than maybe the Thaii published an article basically saying that it was anti-indigenous for people to go to the moon and it's not respect to them.

The media says moon mission is a colonial attack on indigenous beliefs. Yeah. Yeah. And then you had from a place called The Verge, the Artemis Moon-based project is legally dubious. they're basically saying that we're not exactly sure if you're allowed to set up on the moon and use raw materials from the moon

because it's everybody's moon and I don't know my take on it is that if you don't want somebody doing something on the moon you should go there and stop them moon wars I'm going to take this rock I'm going to take this rock from the moon

that I'm standing on and I'm going to build a house with it. And anybody who thinks it's a bad idea, you just come on by. Just come on by and tell me to stop and I will stop. Oh, wait. Oh, wait. You don't have rockets.

You can't get to the moon. Well, then you need to, you know that Dave Chappelle's shit? Skit where he's like, you need to shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. That's basically what it is. no Conan he asks

how are you going to vote here on October 19th if you and the family are away my plan is to come back for the referendum right

to be to be back I'll figure that out so the moon launch has a Canadian a black dude and a and a woman so it's basically set up

like every sci-fi horror movie where you've got like the one black dude who's going to be the first to die. I don't know why they did it like that. Like they just watched one of the aliens movies. It was like, yeah, that's exactly how we're going to lay out this crew. But I got to question the logic of having a woman on a flight to the moon.

Because you know she's going to want to stop like 10 times along the way. Well, the Artemis 2 launched successfully and produced some incredible footage. Bad news. The crew is currently troubleshooting the toilet. Well, that's exactly it. Because the classic road trip, I have to pee, I have to pee, I have to pee. Next thing you know,

the toilet's overloaded. Like, just imagine you're on your way to the freaking moon. You haven't even left the atmosphere yet. And the woman next she was like, you know, I can see it coming. I can see it ahead. We need to get over on the right hand

side. What do you think, taking a P in a shuttle's like, I've taken a P on like a plane, in a bus, right? Like in a motorhome, lots of different things. Do you think it's that difficult to take a leak on a shuttle? Or are you like, no, it's easy? Well, I don't know. Like, you ever get the two streams situation? For sure. Yeah. Yeah. Like, just imagine how difficult that would be. Do they have, do they have contingency planning for that? Like imagine having the double stream in zero gravity. If this isn't what you're here for, folks, I don't, you know, I don't, oh man, I don't know what, what you're here for. Okay, goofy. We haven't even got to the goofy news. Goofy news.

Alberta man launches legal action against province over closing of Calgary, Lethbridge drug use sites. I don't need to read the story. It's in the goofy news. It's goofy, too's. It is goofy. It absolutely is goofy. Now, here's the thing. So this is, this is a man who apparently depends on the drug use sites in Calgary and Lethbridge. And he is launching a court case against the provincial government for shutting them down. And he's very correct in the, in the, in the claim that he does depend. on them. Now, here's the thing. So this is a guy by the name of Travis Petty. Here's a news release from 2015. Sixty-one charges were laid in relation to the project by Olds Didsbury Sundry Suppression Team. Travis John Petty, 30 years old, 15 charges of trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking, possessing a firearm, which had a tampered serial number, while prohibited and possessing ammunition while prohibited.

This guy, so obviously he has some kind of a criminal record because he is prohibited from having weapons. So this guy in 2015 was already a serial criminal who was arrested for drug trafficking. What the Globe and Mail omits in their sob story about this poor bastard and how he depends on these safe consumption sites is that he depends on these safe consumption sites because he's a fucking drug dealer. We need a better class of journalists today. Mount Everest guides allegedly poisoned tourists

and insurance scam. Dozens of Mount Everest guides have been accused of poisoning foreign climbers as part of a scheme to create emergencies and collect millions in insurance money Nepal's Police Central Investigation Bureau reportedly uncovered the $20 million insurance fraud scam in 2018, but recently reopened the investigation. Guides would allegedly create emergencies for tourists from countries in the UK, Australia, or Australia, where it would be more difficult for insurance companies to verify incidents in the Kathmandu area of Nepal.

Catmandu Post reported that Era International Hospital took in $15.8 million, and Shreid High International Hospital received $1.2 million. Also, services including mountain rescue services allegedly carried out 171 unnecessary rescues, collecting $10.3 million. Nepal Charter Service allegedly collect $8.2 million, and Everest Experience and Assistance was a link to $11.04 million in an international insurance. claims. So what they were doing was as people were trying to climb

the highest mountain in the world, to add insult to injury, they're getting roofied. And then they got to call the helicopters to get them out, and then they take them to the hospitals, and the insurance pays out a bunch of money to the helicopters and the hospitals, and the Sherpas take a cut. Allegedly, I don't want any Sherpa from Nepal. Pretty dang close.

Pretty dang clever. Well, yeah. But you think at some point, you'd be like, you know, guys, we keep doing this. They're going to catch on. Well, it's hard to make a living. Like, you're literally at incredibly, you're at an altitude so high that your village has evolved higher red blood cells to compensate for it. Okay. Like, you're actually starting to branch off from the rest of human.

humanity biologically. That's how isolated you are. It's cold. Like, here's how cold it is, is that your Nepal's are always hard. Well done. You got to make a living somehow. You want to show Sam Blackett's

tweet? So basically what happened here is that if you go back a little ways, this is So I got to show this clip. I got to show this clip. So, Sean, unmute me.

Let me a sec. Give me a sec. Okay. Okay. You're good. Sean, Amanda, with City News. Did your government campaign... I'm sorry.

This is for journalists today. Are you... Is that seriously a question from the media? I'm asking you a question. Did you campaign on the moves you're making today? We campaign explicitly on parental choice and authority. We've done that for two campaigns in a row. We've won majorities both times.

both times as a result of it. And there is nothing out of line about saying that pornography is inappropriate for children to be consuming under the age of 18. Under the age, if you're seven-year-old were to consume this, Sean, would you find that that is an appropriate thing for them to be doing? And I answered that, and I asked you if you think it's appropriate for them to be consuming pornography at age seven. Anyways, this goes on for a minute, but it's that classic. It's that classic. It was... If you can, too, it was quiet.

So on your end... I checked. I checked the volume was maxed out. Fair enough. There wasn't anything I could do about it. But this was like that, that beautiful blonde lady who used to be Trump's press secretary. Who's the guy? Who's the guy in that video?

I don't know. Anybody know who that is? Minister Dan Williams? He needs to be in front of the microphone. Go back and finish the clip. I'm kind of curious now. I've never seen this guy. That's not for me to say. I'm a journalist asking you why...

It doesn't feel like you're a journalist. It feels as though this is a politically loaded attempt to attack a government doing an incredibly reasonable approach for protecting children in society. Well, why didn't you campaign on this? We campaign explicitly on parental authority. We have this is, there's no doubt that parental authority has been a key plan to the campaign, both in 2019 and 2023. What about you taking more control over the conduct of municipal officials to be campaigned on that? Sorry, is that leaving this question around the libraries? Yes, that's in terms of municipal government, codes of conduct, which gives you the right to change an appeals commissioner's decision. Did you campaign on that? We don't need to campaign on the fact that every single municipality has created by provincial statute.

The municipalities have been asking for us to create a counselor accountability framework ever since the repeal Bill 50. I've delivered that. I worked with the Alberta municipalities and an announcement together, and all the regulation going forward is going to be done. in collaboration with the associations. Okay, who... Dan Williams, he's an MLA. Now that I'm thinking about it, I've seen the name somewhere.

I think maybe we talked about him one week, but I've never heard of it before. Who in our audience knows who that is? Because that was well done. Was that not well done? That was a master class. That was interesting to listen to. And for a guy to say,

he rephrases it. Are you saying it's okay for a seven-year-old to look of porn? Well, that's not for me to say. What are you talking about, buddy? I'm sorry. That's a simple answer. No, you're right.

It isn't okay. And so, anyhow, Sean Amato. Unbelievable. Sean Amato's been jumping in and trying to, you know, Rob, I'm going to ask you to. Is it okay for a seven-year-old to look at porn? Are we out of our freaking minds?

Carry on. Yes, yes. They are out of their freaking minds. Absolutely. I feel like a big part of this show is continued evidence that they are out of their freaking minds, Sean. this is this is what we talk about these are the things i know they are out of their freaking minds so anyway uh whenever people were commenting on it shan would jump in and be like i'm going to ask

you to politely delete this defamatory statement blah blah blah and then he literally tries to point out the fact that uh that he got a letter from the premier's press secretary complimenting him on one particular article. And then the press secretary jumps in and basically says, Reagan News, appreciate fair and accurate news coverage. I sent one email almost a year ago highlighting a surprising singular instance of balance coverage from you. It was an outlier from your typical reporting, if you can call it that.

And then he brings receipts for another tweet that the guy had. So, like, literally, he gets, he is so routinely unbalanced and unhinged on this stuff, that when he actually did do a fair and balanced article, the press secretary noted and sent him an email thanking him for it. And he's using that as evidence that he's fair and balanced. These people are idiots, Sean. Speaking of idiots.

Mark Ruffalo. We haven't talked about this guy in a while. We haven't talked about him in a while. If you're in Canada, use this link to find out how to fight back against proposed fossil fuel projects that are destroying our climate and violating the rights of indigenous peoples. Let's end fracking and the expansion of LNG's,

exclamation mark. Not in our national interest. And so there's a March 31st webinar recording. A fundraiser, April 12th. Join action in a city near you. Ottawa, April 14th. Victoria, April 15th. Montreal Mercredi.

don't know where that is. And it's on the 15th of Avril. Montreal, Wednesday, April 15th at 12 p.m. Toronto Friday, Vancouver Saturday, and digital actions. And so why? Why would, like, what the hell do I care about the guy from the Hulk? Why do I care what the Hulk thinks about that? We don't care.

We don't. Okay, I don't know. Here, here, let me, let me put it in a way you can understand. We live in Canada. It's a very difficult, it's a hostile environment, okay? There's lots of stuff out here that want to kill us. Correct. They're quite often called ice, but not the ice that's killing people in the States.

That's a different one. But this ice up here, we have like this one defense against it. And that is oil and the, products made from oil, petroleum, natural gas, propane. Okay. They're, they're what protect us from this environment that's trying to kill us. Do you remember in Avengers Infinity War where you were unable to turn into the Hulk? And so then you had to put on the Hulk buster armor.

And that was the only thing saving you from the dangerous environment where you're surrounded by things that want to kill you? The Hulkbuster armor. Our oil is Hulkbuster armor, most of the, Mark Ruffalo. Carrying on, I really have nothing to add. Fear grows of Detroit style decline as Hollywood jobs evaporate. A staggering 30% drop in film and TV employment since 2022

as experts warning that the city is following the path of the Motor City. Recent stats show that as March 26, jobs in the most picture and sound recording industries have dropped from where they were at the peak in July 2022 of more than 400. they were at 455,000 jobs to 344,000 jobs. In the last two years, they've lost 42,000 jobs. Part of this I'm very happy about it. I love movies, but me and you have been talking about this for 202 mashup style that the movies we so enjoyed are not so much anymore.

They've completely turned to junk, okay? But the interesting thing about this article is it doesn't, it talks about the job loss in this industry in Hollywood. It doesn't talk about the fact that so many more movies are being made in other places in the world. Like, look at Bollywood. Bollywood makes peak Hollywood look like just a spec. The amount of Bollywood movies that are being made are monumental compared to the amount of Hollywood movies that are being made. It talks about how all these jobs are being lost in California. it doesn't talk about the fact that these jobs are moving to other places.

Sure, yeah, AI is replacing a bunch of stuff. Ben Affleck of all random mass people just sold an AI company for a few hundred million dollars that specializes in doing dailies and touching them up. I don't really understand it. I didn't spend very much time in showbiz. But, yeah, it's not that these jobs are going away. It's that they're going away. From Hollywood to Pennsylvania, mother, father, leave baby behind after cable theft.

People stealing copper and then they get caught. They race away and the police, it says, as officers arrived at the scene, police said three suspects fled in a Jeep leaving behind a sedan. Investigators found the cut cables in the trunk of the abandoned vehicle and handsaws on the passenger seat. The car was impounded and taken up to Upper Chichester Police headquarters as a lot of. officers waited for a search warrant. Well, examining the exterior of the vehicle, officers noted something unusual in the back seat. Once it was, once I was back here, our officers were checking the exterior of the car and

noticed the blanket in the backseat slightly moving. Please remove the blanket and discovered a four-month-old baby boy inside the car. Hmm? Yeah. So you know how you, like, leave incriminating evidence at crime scenes if you're a stupid criminal? It doesn't get much more incriminating than that. that. A four-month-old baby.

Like, here's the problem. Like, what role can a baby possibly perform in a heist? It's not going to be, it's not going to be the honeypot. It can't be the getaway driver. And I find it highly unlikely that a four-month-old baby is going to be the demolitions expert. They don't have enough time to learn safe cracking. You don't bring babies on a heist. They're just useless added baggage. Do we mean? mentioned we need a better class of criminal. Yeah. Babies aren't the demolition expert. Red Lobster to bring back endless shrimp deal that drove it into bankruptcy.

I don't even know where to go with this. So you may remember long-time listeners of the mashup, remember that in one of the fledgling episodes of said show, we talked about the fact that Red Lobster's endless shrimp promotion nearly drove them in well, it drove them into bankruptcy and they were barely able to crawl out of it. Correct. Okay. And Anita Belcom says that makes me sick to my stomach.

You can stop eating the shrimp at any point. You don't have to eat all of the shrimp. But lots of people didn't get that memo and they had to cancel the endless shrimp and barely. Somebody says, take your kid to heist day. The endless. Well done. Well done. The audience here is on point.

We need to get that guy right in headlines for us. Anyhow, they're bringing back the thing that very nearly broke them. Rochester woman gets six months in prison after guilty plea. I assume, I have to assume, Tews has this in here for one reason and one reason alone. What's that? And that is this lady's name. Zam Zam Jamma And Mustafa Jamma

Okay, as much as they sound Like a band from the 70s Okay, Rochester woman I'm going to actually read it You want me to actually read it? Okay, no, no, no, here's what I want everybody to take away. Not heard of their name is Zam Zam, Zam, Jamma. Oh, Black Betty, Zam, Zam.

Right? All right, this woman stole 300,000. million dollars is required to pay back 491,000 of it and be in jail for six months. Correct. So for six months of imprisonment, think about it this way. If you were going to get paid to be in prison, you would get paid $299.5 million to be in jail for six months. It's a pretty good deal. Yeah, that's why it's in there.

They did have to give back all the houses they bought in the United States. $491,000. Oh, no. What am I going to do? Imagine how disappointed you are when you're looking at your pallet full of money, and there's one little corner missing? More than $57,000 in meth cannabis seized at Eminton Institution. Correctional services can to say staff has seized methamphetamine,

cannabis concentrate at Eminton jail, accounting an estimated $57,700 worth. a maximum security federal prison. That's literally the whole article Sean just read. That was it. I guess the big takeaway from this is that somebody in that prison must have a very loose butthole. Focused maple syrup from Quebec producer found on grocery store shelves. What do I want to say out of here? He was taking the maple syrup and it contained 50,

percent cane sugar. I don't know why this surprises anyone. So everything, everything about this country is a lie. It's all performative. And less than half of it actually contributes to anything. And the other half is just BS. It's a perfect analogy for Confederation. Side note, when I was in that place called Quebec a few years ago, I bought a whole

case of that exact syrup because I was trying to make a maple mead. Okay. And it came out just tasting like just grain alcohol, like just sugar. It had no maple flavor

to it at all. What you're saying is, is it's probably been going on for a very long time. Because I looked at that and I was like, that's the exact can of the stuff that I bought that I bought

that I couldn't make anything tasty out of. It just tasted like regular sugar. Imagine if those journalists approached the federal government like a can of maple syrup. We might get to some things. Super Girl star Millie Alcock braces for backlash as women face scrutiny for simply existing in franchises. I know you probably want to talk about that,

but I'm like, what do you think of the Supergirl preview? Are you a fan? You're not a fan. We haven't really... I saw the teaser. I haven't seen the latest trailer. I know a new trailer dropped, but I haven't watched yet. There's a full trailer.

There's a full trailer. She made a very brief appearance in Superman. I don't know. I still haven't watched that movie. If you like dogs, it's kind of a good movie, I guess. Like the key, like the best part of it was Crypto the Dog. I assume that's who's back in Supergirl, because there's a dog in it like the entire time.

Yeah. Or the entire preview. That's good. But this movie hasn't come out yet. And they're already pre-telling people that they're jerks for not liking the movie, which tells me that it's probably going to be really bad. And I don't know why she would assume that she would get backlash over just being somebody who exists in a franchise rather than the name, rather than backlash for,

her name being Alcock. Okay? But here's the thing. Like, I want, you know, the leftists and the feminists and all these crazy people in Hollywood, they keep taking awesome movies and awesome franchises and shittifying them. They just, they make them as bad as possible. And then they get mad when nobody watches them. Look at, uh, look at that Star Trek show that came out and has already been canceled.

Look at all of these different things. brings a power, wheel of time. They're just like, let's take something awesome that dudes love and let's make it suck as much as we possibly can. And then when it gets inevitably canceled, we'll say that they're jerks for not liking it. We need to do this. You see they're coming out with a, all the things they do against JK Rolling. They're coming out with a HBO series on Harry Potter starting from the beginning.

Yeah, they're redoing it as a series rather than just. the nine movies, I think they made it into. The concept is good because you can actually... Eight movies. I think it was eight movies. Either way. Either way. The point is, is that there's a lot of really good stuff in the books that didn't make

its way into the movies. The movies were great. You think about as far as doing an eight movie series and not having a single one of them, like even in the middle, just being like, eh, they were all good movies. and they're good books. I remember I used to make fun of this roommate of mine back in the day because he was really into Harry Potter books. And they're like, oh, you're reading Harry Potter?

And I would tease him and stuff. And then one day I was just sitting around by myself, nothing to do. And I'm looking at the bookshelf. And I'm like, no one will ever know. I sat down. I read the first one in a day. And then I was hooked.

So I like the fact that they're making it into a series, making Snape black? Yeah, I don't know. Why? Why? But this is what we're talking about. With all the things. It is all the things.

And we need to push back on this. Like I want something. Well, I think we are. No, no, no, no, no. Not the way I'm talking. No? Here's what we need to do. We need to remake Jerry McGuire.

But we need to get Alan Richson to star in it. And I want it to be, or like, remake miscongeniality, but as an action movie, just straight up John Wick violence all the way front and back. You know, just all of a sudden out of nowhere, there's like car chases and explosions. And, you know, there's just, yeah, like some big crazy high speed chase. And then there's some quipy line at the, end where the car explodes and they're like oh well i guess that wasn't a runway model or somebody

takes like a bazooka out and blows up a helicopter you want to go back to the 80s movies yes but i just i want to remake a chick flick like think sex in the city with gratuitous nudity and violence all the way through basically make it like roadhouse you know a bazooka blows up a helicopter and then somebody standing next to the guy with the bazooka goes, I'll have what she's having. Okay, this is what I want. You take, you guys want to destroy everything we love by making it crappy versions of what you love. We want to take the thing that is precious to you.

We're going to take chick flicks. Legally blonde. Like, okay, we do like legally blonde two. I get the fact that there was one, but we call it like legally blonde too. red, white, and blow right the fuck up. Okay? Show me some videos of drivers. No, no, no.

We're not done talking about... Bank denies liability after alleged $343... I should have known... I should have known better that... Pause it. So... I should have known better that twos probably snuck a couple things in on me.

So what do you got that I missed? Okay. So there was... A legal firm was handling a wire transfer? and they screwed up the account number, and it went to the wrong person who immediately sold everything they had in Canada,

wired it to Morocco, got on a plane, and left to never come back. And the legal firm is trying to sue the bank by saying it's your fault, and the bank is saying, you gave us the wrong account number. We put it into the account number that you asked us to.

And then the person went somewhere where they can't get the money back from. Yeah, yeah. They sent all the money overseas, got on a plane, and left this country never to return. Which, if I'm being honest, if I'm being honest, if $343,000 shows up in my checking account tomorrow, you've got to find a new guest, like you've got to find a new co-host.

What are you talking about? You just do it from somewhere else. Yeah, I guess I could do that too, yeah. Is that how much it was, 343 grand? $343,000. Yeah. Sounds like a lot, but I mean a lifetime on 343. Yeah. Also, you're dealing with a place that isn't so crazy anymore.

Fair. All right. What else? That race says broke back mountain, but with women. Yes, exactly something like that. We have Margot Robbie and Selma Hayek. That's who you two would be. Margot Robbie and Selma Hayek?

Well, it doesn't matter what the question is. One of them is always Selma Hayek. Interesting. Okay. I was just thinking Margot Robbie because I just saw something about her the other day. I don't know if... Well, who would your two be?

If I go way back, I used to have a huge crush on Hallie Berry. Yeah. I don't know. Swordfish. Who's the girl in the jeans commercials? Sydney Sweeney? Yeah. Sweeney,

Sweeney. I mean, wouldn't that be, wouldn't that be, like, basically today's superstar that you put in Brokeback Mountain, too? Jamie Lee Curtis

in True Lies. Oh, man, now you're really dating yourself, T's. Jamie Lee Curtis, have you seen her lately? She's got, how old Jamie Lee Curtis, folks?

She, 65? I'm wrong on that. She younger than that. I think she's in her early 70s. Is she 70? Oh, she probably is. That movie is. Keep in mind,

like, True Lies was. almost 35, or, yeah, 35 years ago just about. Now, I'm gonna, I'm gonna see here. Like, it came out in the early 90s. Okay, well, well, you're looking that up. Believe it or not, folks. 67, 67, born in 58.

Okay, well, there you go. I'd probably still make out with her if I had a chance. Air Canada's CEO, Michael Russo, to retire later this year following language controversy. I'm not listening. And Latisham. 7229. True lies in 94.

So 32 years. That is a long freaking time ago. Yeah. Yeah. And that movie still holds up. It's a decent little flick. Carry on. Actually, who was the Asian chick?

Who's the bad girl that they fought in the limo? And then she was also like the, in true lies? Yeah, yeah. And she was, we are not worthy in Wayne's World. Oh, uh. Tia, no, Carrere?

Tia Carrar, I think is also. Also, Tia Leone is vastly underrated. Cass, let's just look this up. Let's look it up here. Yep, Tia Carrere. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Well, there you go. That's going way back. She's 59 years old.

So, just it's funny. Two broke back Mountain have two 70-year-old ladies on it, right? who probably still, look at Selma Hayek still looks as great now as she did decades ago, all right? I'm glad. Claire's saying Prasden and Pierce Prasman. How did we get here?

How did we even get to carry on? What did we miss? Keep going through what I missed. Eric Canada's CEO resigned. it's absolutely tragic what happened to him. I mean, I think we covered it pretty well last week. But it's a sad day in aviation. And American airline passengers shocked to learn that their flights were actually bus routes.

Air travel has officially been grounded. Nice play. New York Post. American airline passengers continue to be disappointed after paying for what they believed was a flight only to be boarded on a bus. A woman traveling from South Bend, Indiana to Chicago O'Hare cleared security and arrived at her gate, only to notice that her checked luggage was being loaded onto a parked coach bus. So they pulled a fast one on them, but not fast at all, a very slow one. So that was that. Now, if you want to get into a few drivers, I suppose there are a few.

And they're loading, but that's okay. from the city of Saskatoon. This is a press release they did two days ago. City crews set to begin tear down of all overpasses in Saskatoon to avoid future incidents. What? The decision comes after four collisions in the last two weeks. Is that real? Overpasses on Circle Drive will be the first ones to go according to reports.

It was an April Fool's joke. Oh, thank you. Okay, good. So many overpasses have been hit in this country, Sean. that it's bureaucratic fodder for April Fool's jokes. Correct. That's how bad things have got. All right. Now, this got some good voiceover.

So I have me a new Canadian that stopped in today. Called me earlier, said he needed a rim for his trailer. I said, you sure? He just need a rim. He said, yeah, just a rim. I said, okay. So he showed up in the yard here today. And look what we got.

Just need a rim button. Just one. One rim. the other one seems to be okay because the tire is still attached is what he said I'm like really isn't this fucking fantastic

there's not a cross member left in the trailer she's busted wide open it's a reefer unit you can feel the cold there coming over the floor because the floor is wide open but you just need the rim

maybe just gonna go for another rip button thing of beauty hooveda and then This is a guy just crashing into a church for no particular reason. Just off the road, out of control, nearly hitting a guy, and yeah, just couldn't wait to get in on Good Friday. So there's your few drivers for this week. I don't know about YouTube's, but like I getting a ton of videos sent from all over Western Canada,

mainly Saskatchewan, Alberta of different, you know, like, I've had to make corrections on myself because of wind and whatever, but like at some point, the amount of rollovers on Highway 16 going from Lloyd to Eminton is beyond concerning. I was telling you the other day when I drove to Calgary, you're asking how the drive was because it's like, you know, everybody was worried about it. And I'm like, well, I'll tell you how bad it was.

For about a 20 minute span at a five-hour drive, I kicked off cruise control. that's how bad it was but in saying that i still saw near le duc a major accident that had a semi in the ditch two cars in the ditch and traffic backing up on the northbound lane for miles and multiple spots along the way where different vehicles had gone in the ditch and i was like i can't like i'm more nervous at this point not of the weather of we always say you got to be careful of the drivers right you got to be concerned. But like it's becoming that that's the most honest

thing ever, right? When you're driving a long distance, you have to have your eyes on a swivel for everything going on in our highways right now because all these videos we keep showing. And I used to be like this is every one of Ontario. We just make fun of... It's happening more and more here in Western Canada. We talk about what

just happened this week on the show. These are all the new videos that come out. It's not like we're doing a greatest hits of the stupidest thing that drivers have done ever. No, it's every week. And every week I get a new video or two sent to me of the stupidity. Anyways.

And we got quick dick tuning in. He says what's happening in our commercial transportation industry should terrify everyone. It absolutely does. Don't you dare not read it how it's written. Okay, but he did a correction. The thing about it is is that he, so I know, I know we have the policy that we read everything. You have the policy. It's your policy.

Okay, but, but he, he's got the updated correction. Okay. All right, fine. Okay. How about this? What's happening? Let's do it my quick dick voice. What's happening in our commercial transportation industry, shot terrify everyone.

Thank you. Asterix should. That's better. That's better. Learn your lesson to us. We don't, we don't, we don't add in. We don't change things. We read them as they say.

We report accurately. That's correct. Okay, Bill 25, UCP's Bill 25, an anti-democratic move to control public discourse. Bill 25, an act to remove politics and ideology from classrooms and amend the Education Act would restrict teachers in Alberta classrooms from bringing social topics in the classroom and only allow the Canada flag and or Alberta flag to be flown on school property. The bill also requires school boards to get provincial approval for the naming of schools and also would update student codes of conduct to prohibit

violence of any kind. Education Minister Demetrius Nicolaitis said Wednesday that the bill would not prevent teachers from delving into sensitive historical topics since major historical events are part of the curriculum. We have a curriculum and teachers, of course, are expected to teach those outcomes, said Nicolitis. So, for example, when we talk about the horrors of genocide, we talk about...

Hold'amor. Why can I say it? I don't know, maybe you're a denier. Well, I'm having a brain fart right now, folks. The Holocaust and those things. Teachers will continue to be expected and to teach about those horrors to the lover or outcomes as they're outlined and described. The other headlines are, I don't think we need a police state. The ATA president worry about Bill 25's impact on schools and political neutrality

mandate in Alberta classroom offensive to teachers union says. which is the perfect headline, by the way. Just one more time in case you guys didn't catch that. This is the literal headline. Political neutrality mandate in Alberta classrooms offensive to teachers. Union says. You guys have to be politically neutral and they find that offensive. Here's the thing.

They're claiming that this is already happening, despite everything we see proving that it isn't happening like that. We see constant examples of this. And even like in our own personal lives, I got a call asking if one of the kids could be given a survey about what's happening in the school. And I said, okay, well, what's the survey about? Oh, well, it's just what's happening in the school?

Okay, well, that's pretty vague. Can I read the survey? Can you send it to me? No. you're unwilling to send me the survey. Can you tell me what the questions are on it? Can you read the questions to me? No.

I think we both know what this survey is about and no, you do not have permission to give it. Right? Even something as simple as one of the NDP MLAs came to school to talk to the kids and this is what gets me thinking. When the NDP Samir Kayandi came and talked to kids.

And they said that there was supposed to be also a UCPMLA coming as well, but he had car trouble and couldn't make it. I'm like, did that actually happen? Was it actually booked? Like I was thinking about it this morning. And I'm like, I bet you they never even had him lined up. But that's just me being a crazy conspiracy theorist. But this stuff is happening all over the place.

And good on, good on. the UCP for actually just saying, you guys just stop, we're just making a law that nobody is allowed to be a dick. And they're saying, oh, we're not doing that. We're not doing that. And it's offensive that you would even suggest it. Well, look, if you're not doing it,

then this law is completely irrelevant, and you should have no issue with it. It's simple. Sports desk? Sports desk. Is that what we're on to? Yes. Okay. So this is a video of a guy who just got fired from the Chicago.

Bulls. And oh, we both clicked it on the same time, didn't we? The world can proclaim LGBTQ. They have, they have, they proclaim Pride Month and the NBA. They proclaim it. They, they show it to the world. They say come, come, uh, come join us for pride, for Pride month to celebrate unrighteousness. They say, they say, come, come, uh, come join us for Pride, for Pride Month. to celebrate unrighteousness. They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets.

Unrighteousness. So how is it that one can't speak righteousness? How is it one that, how are they to say that, you, man, this man is crazy. And so he was released from the Chicago Bulls. The Chicago Bulls announced today that the team has waived Guard Jaden Ivy due to conduct detrimental to the team because of that video.

Now here's an interesting take on it. Somebody says, hey, Grock, name Chicago Bulls players that have gotten into legal troubles, drug issues, gun charges, violent conduct, and abuse against a spouser child, and then list what their punishment was by the team and if they were cut. Grock said, here are the verifiable cases. Quentin Daly, drug abuse, violations. Spend without pay.

Entered rehab, no cut, later traded. Scotty Pippin, domestic battery charge. Charges drop, no team punishment or cut. Continued career. Recent slash former players like Antonio Blakeney, point shaving indictment, 2026. Corey Benjamin, DV arrest 2016, had issues post-Bulls tenure, no team action possible.

Bulls rarely cut players solely for those, more often trades or non-renewals. So it's a bigger deal to say something like that. than it is to to be charged with domestic battery. And I thought the left was all about batteries. Isn't that how we're going to save the planet? Okay, more from the sports desk.

Basically, you've got a bunch of shitty people talking about the ugly history behind the Olympics new gender test, how Nazi era fears about gender gave rise to sex testing and why the policy is resurfacing now. Now, the policy is resurfacing. Because we didn't used to have to say as a society that dude should not be competing against chicks. And we got to a point where somebody actually had to say that out loud after enough people lost enough events.

And a woman got her face smashed in in a UFC competition. That's when we had to start saying it. And yeah, so I don't know. Is it kind of Nazi-era stuff? Well, from your side, yes. but let's be honest you guys are the worst and if we could

if we could talk about this like rational human beings this wouldn't even be necessary also we talked about La Press and I looked at one French translated article and now I'm getting all kinds of French advertisements

along all of like all my ads now are you've earned it too's you've earned it okay happy news let's get into the happy news All right. Smith government plans crack up. QDM, this one's for you. I think you're going to like this. Smith's government planned plans crackdown on Alberta, bad driving.

Here's what the Smith government is considering. If the driving test is done in English, should the knowledge tests also be English only? That's just for starters. Driesian is eyeing a higher threshold to pass the test, a higher pass, fail grade. He also asks if both the knowledge test and the driving test should be made tougher. Yeah. So they're looking at making. making it so that people who don't know how to drive can't.

And you've got to learn how to drive before you drive. And if you're in charge of a 30,000 pound vehicle, actually 30,000 kilogram vehicle, which is a hell of a lot more. If you're driving 50,000 pounds of pure death and destruction down the road, you should know what the hell you're doing. And I think that's a fairly reasonable take. Alberta looks to regulate temporary foreign worker registration rules. Jobs and immigration minister Joseph Schoe proposed a bill Wednesday that if passed would require businesses to register with the province before enlisting foreign nationals through the federal program.

The process will effectively duplicate the work already done by Ottawa, but show said it's necessary to prioritize and address Alberta's unique labor market needs, particularly in agriculture and manufacturing. Yeah. So I love how they threw that in that it's just duplicating something that already exists from the federal government. But here's the thing is they're not doing anything with it. They were literally talking about turning the temporary foreign worker program into a permanent foreign worker program. So yeah, I get the fact that the federal government already has this data, but they don't care. So yeah, it's good news. It's good news. won't it be nice when kids can actually get jobs again?

Remember when we used to live in a simpler time? Costco actually sells $140 10 pound chocolate Easter Bunny. That thing is 10 pounds and has over 22,000 calories twos. That is a heart attack waiting to happen. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I can't. Oh, my goodness. Look at that.

Look at all of that. that diabetes. Oh my goodness, yes. And always expect the unexpected? Yeah. So, again, AI. For the win for twos. Yes.

Yes. This is a scene I want to see in the Chick-Fickrick remake. There, for those of you listening, there is an Asian lady with a sword and another woman standing in front of her in a metal bra. And she uses the sword. The metal bra down the middle. It falls for the ground. The woman is bare chested.

She actually has the screen. And when she shoots the other woman in a face, it turns out that she was a cyborg the whole time. I don't know it's better. I think it's better when Tews narrates the clip. I don't even know if I need the sound. Do you narrating the clip is better? Anyways, you see where this is going.

It's been since episode 199, 200-ish. It seems like AI spoof movies are going to become a thing of the mashup. I feel like this is a growing trend with, and then our final happy news is Hershey, Hershey is switching Reese's back to the original recipe. Any why they would ever even think to remotely go away from this is insane. Full stop. Well, it's just about squeezing a tiny little extra bit of profit, right?

We'll go with slightly cheaper ingredients. What if instead of food, we used sawdust, basically? And then we could make an extra third of a penny off of every package of Reese's sold. and then that's more money. But the guy whose grandfather invented Hershey's peanut butter cups has been calling them out on how they're not even following the recipe anymore and they're getting worse. And there was a big backlash about it.

And now they're going to go back to the original recipe. Yeah. Community notes. Vance Crow has a seminar that he puts on a regular base. So this is from Articulate. Ventures and the interest-based communication. So he is, shoot, I must be looking at the wrong spot. If I look at the IBC, okay, well, I can't shoot. Anyways, he's got three courses coming up in the next little while.

And I feel like something changed. But on this website, but May 4th, 5th, Sixth, I think, is the first one. And then basically every month, he's having these. And for those of you who have met Vance, who've been lucky enough to sit down and hear him speak, even just when we're having them on the podcast,

it's always an absolute highlight. And so he's doing a bunch of seminars to just improve the way you speak with people, help people understand you, help you understand people where they're coming from. So everything from, you know, whether you feel like you've got a spouse that you guys just aren't connecting because it seems like you guys are talking

two different languages, right? Where, you know, she's saying you don't listen and you're trying to explain to her the Japanese woman with the samurai sword was actually a cyborg, right? This kind of stuff. But in all seriousness, this is the thing that, I don't know,

if you knew anything about Vance Crow, you'd probably jump at the chance to do this. Yeah, you're going to see Vance in his wheelhouse. Yeah. We also got, so I was on the Levine show this morning. He's got his event coming up bearing witness, April 11th, Legacy Center and Red Deer. A few different people on that. One of them, you know, a friend of the show, Ken Drysdale is going to be on there.

Chris Scott, Whistle Stop Cafe, Frances Widowson, Viva Frye coming in virtually. So a few different people. That's April 11th, so you got that. You also got, where is it? Let me just find it here, too's. The province at the crossroads of forum for serious citizens and serious Christians. That is going in GP. That's right.

I'm trying to find the, why can't I find the? No, no RSVP needed. Why can't I find the date of it? Okay. if I might be able to Oh, right there. April 11th. It's also April 11th. 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday 7 to 9 p.m.

In Grand Prairie. I would say just look it up on Facebook province at the Crossroads, a forum for serious citizens and serious Christians. So that's another one going out there. Now, the moment you guys have all been waiting for. No, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

The moment you've all been waiting for is not going to happen yet. Not yet. Not yet. I want to show What are we doing? I want to show. Come on. Oh, my goodness. Why won't it allow me to do it? Okay. I've got Brandon Bennett came in. You look, no, look happy, all right? This is cool.

Obviously, it's so cool. It's so cool. You can't even show us. Community hometown heroes, okay? Ernie officially starts retirement tomorrow after 43 years in the oil and gas. Industry is a journeyman and B pressure welder. He worked many projects in the in the Eminton area when he lived in Vagerville. When he moved to Okotokes, he worked fabrication jobs around Calgary.

The last 15 years, Ernie has been valued employee at the Bedell gas compression. If there was an ugly welds or something that needed to be built with attention detail, it was Ernie's name that usually came up first. He would take these tasks with no compliance. He is the perfect example of quality and reliability when it comes to a tradesman. Congratulations on your well-earned retirement, Ernie. and a side note, Ernie who introduced me to the podcast back in 2022. So there you go.

Nice. So Ernie, happy retirement day. See? Good or you, Ernie. That isn't such a bad thing to bring up, is it? That was great. That was totally worth the wait. I'm just annoyed because it should...

You got a picture of them or something? Well, that's what I'm trying to do. But my stupid computer won't allow the picture to come up. Let me see here. Let me see. Allow. Later. Let's see if it'll do it now.

Are you going to allow me to do it or what? You're basically a Luddite. You're the last, like your technological abilities? How am I? Yes, I know. How did you end up in the podcast sphere? I don't know. I have no idea.

It's just, it's driving me absolutely bonkers right now. You're like the woman on the spaceflight right now. Here, let's, there. Okay, how about this? There you go. There's Ernie. There you go, Ernie. Shout out.

Thanks, Brandon, for sending that to us. That's pretty cool. What a beauty. Yeah. Well, what do we need more of, uh, two? We need more men with dusty boots on the show, don't we? We need more men like that, and we need fewer men and women. Oh, I can't.

Okay. Let's get, let's get to what everybody's been waiting for. I'm going to sit back. I'm going to mute myself because I'm probably, going to be laughing the entire time. It's a point of, go ahead. It's got a point of privilege. The microphones seem really low today.

It's hard to hear everyone at the mic. Between the background noise and the volume here with the microphones, it's really hard to hear. And the closed caption also is slower to make it hard to keep up with what's going on. For those of you who don't know, the NDP had their leadership convention last weekend. It was going on at the same time as the Cornerstone Forum. And if I'd have known it was going to be like this.

Point of privilege, please. Point of privilege. I'd just like to say. You just said you just said you were going to sit back and listen. So I'm. I want a card. I want to have cards. I want point of privilege cards.

Carry on. Can I talk about this? I don't know. I mean, I'd have known it was going to be this bad shit crazy. I probably would have just left you in the wind and gone to. and gone. I think we all should have just got. I think I should have got on stage,

but listen, we got a great show for you today, but I think we just need to go watch this. We should have just put it up on the big screen. Carry on. Bernevine North Seymour, pronouns, he, him. Point of information. What information do you seek, delegate?

You recognize that guy? I'm pretty sure that's Zoltan. Or can I ask a question about executive elections to the chair? As I understand it, what more election results we have are going to be announced at the end of the day. I have a point of information for the elections committee. The elections committee has gone to do balloting and they're not available to answer your... For those of you listening and not watching, the lady chairing this looks like Adolf Hitler bleached his hair and had a baby with Dumbo.

Thank you, Chair. Right here on four, are you on a point? Point of order, Robert Alley, he they. My understanding as an equity-seeking delegate is that these cards are to help the chair hear equity-seeking persons and that we don't only hear from white male delegates. Now, this is my first convention, so I could be wrong, but the reason my reason for my concern is that yesterday, during the housing, resolution after a white man spoke someone at this mic wave their equity card only to be only to give their speaking spot to a white man it just goes on like this this is this is all it does it just goes and goes and goes and you might think like oh it can't be that crazy and then it just continues

like this one for example thank you delegate there's a point of privilege on microphone one then we'll go to microphone three. Go ahead, delegate. Yes. Hello, I was standing here with my gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker. Now, for those of you listening and not watching, this woman is literally holding up a race card. She's wearing a kifia. She's holding up a race card.

They give the yellow race cards to the Asians. And this woman is complaining about the fact that the race cards are being used incorrectly and that all the intersectionality is not adding up the way it should. That's my point of privilege that I would like to... I will explain the speaking order which is fixed that I cannot amend, which is the pro-con rotation. You can move yourself up a line that you're standing in. I am pro. And I was...

Went... You went pro-con. We went pro-con. Pro. And my plan was to go con. The speaker at Conmic 3 also has a speaking card. Yesterday, this card was used in an inappropriate matter. And while I understand in Ontario, we know this as equity,

even if that, this was also used inappropriate in terms of gender. I want everyone to be mindful that these cards for individuals like myself who identify as a black woman have no value outside of this space. One minute ahead of schedule, and so I'm going to get out of here. The balloting co-chairs are returning, I believe. Now balloting co-chairs? There is a point. Let's hear the point on microphone one.

I'm sorry, just real quick, point of personal privilege. I understand there's very little time for delegates to speak, but early on the mic, it's hard as a racialized and transgender delegate to sometimes use this card and speak up, speak to somebody in front of me in line, and ask, hey, this pertains to multiple intersecting parts of my lived experience. I'd like to speak. I was rejected when I talked. And it's frustrating when these are my rights being directly under attack right now in Alberta

and that a cisgender woman had spoken over me. And I understand her rights are important too. This pertains to her too. but I don't know. I hope that in the future, the federal NDP will also have a broader interpretation of the equity cards for... It just keeps going.

There's like 20 of these. You won this resolution? Yes. Microphone two, please. My name is Mastura Tasneem. My pronouns are Shiite. I'm from Ontario. Hello, Bonjour.

As we conduct this convention today and the past two days, right now there's discussions of 10,000 American men and women being sent to Iran being deployed I just love the look on this guy's face this guy's probably been a member of the NDP for his whole life back when it used to be like a working class party like the NDP that he joined when he was like their age is completely erased by whatever the hell this is okay You've got a situation where Scott Moe is pointing out, so Carla Beck, the leader of the NDP in Saskatchewan, is refusing meetings with Abby Lewis, the new leader of the NDP.

And Scott Moe was correctly pointing out that the party shall constitute a section of the new Democratic Party of Canada. Now, for those of you who were listening to the Saskatchewan election coverage, we noted that the NDP as a party was listed on the ballot as NDP Saskatchewan Division. Literally all provincial divisions are part of the federal party. The NDP as a party in Alberta literally does not exist. There is no such thing as the Alberta NDP party. It's not so much that they're not a serious party.

They just straight up do not exist. You've got this guy doing the Nazi side. salute. Look at that. Look at that. When Elon Musk does it, it's a Nazi salute. When he does it and says that we need to eat the rich and gets thunderous applause, not because they want to eat the rich specifically, but because everybody in that is a fat tub of lard. Okay. It's insane. You've got Nenshi meeting with Kalistani, independent, separatist supporters. He's meeting with a bunch of separatists, but they're Calistani, India separatists. They're not Alberta separatists.

You've got Jagmeet Singh showing up for like the first time ever to just get a little bit of applause. And that's it. You've got Nenshi, again, politely trying to distance himself from the NDP, even contemplating a name change. And here's Carla Beck declining Abby Lewis's meeting. request. Nenshi talking about the federal NDP electing their new leader and how good it is that they got a new leader, but the fact that the federal NDP are crazy. And he's literally trying to separate from the federal NDP. And in the same tweet, he said, our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Daniel Smith and the separatist UCP. His party is

literally trying to separate from the federal party. He's meeting with Calistani separatists and the whole time he's complaining that the UCP are separatists. They're using literal race cards at the at their AGM nominating a leader. It's it's all this intersectional crazy idiocy. None of it follows any logic or coherence. And when I picture what happens in Ottawa, regardless of party, I imagine it's all exactly like this all the time.

There is no parody. There's no jokes to be made about this. I can't mock this. There is no way that I can satirize this and make it more loony than it already is. Everything I do is pointless. There is no point in doing any of this at all anymore because there is nowhere to take this. You cannot. There are no punchlines.

There are no jokes to be made. This is all performative bullshit from here on out. I quit. That's error. Is that the end of 202? I guess it is. I was just going to pull up one more thing before we get out of here, folks. I know Tew's is done with the day.

Let me see if I can find it here. I think it's this one. There you go. Shout out to Joe Mama. All right. Anyone wanting some mashup gear, we've been working on putting things online. and so you can go to the shaw numa podcast.com, scroll on on the ticker,

and in the top right, you can see shop. Okay, that's the one mashup shirt. Now that I know that people aren't upset with what they're getting in the mail, we plan to put more colors and a few different things up there. So thanks to Joe Mama for sending me some info on that and a picture and everything else.

So if you're interested in what we do, feel free to support the podcast. If you want a MASHRup shirt, they're online now. We have a merch store. We're working on adding to it now that we know it's not complete chunk. Everything Tuesdays just said and then some. Happy Good Friday, folks. It's a good Friday.

It always is, but today more than any other one. And I hope wherever you're at, you're enjoying some time with friends and family. That's what I'm off to do as soon as I get out of here. And I just want to say thanks to anyone who attended the forum. and came and supported with their time and money and conversations, everything else. And I hope you have a great weekend. It certainly is a great weekend. And we'll catch up to you here every Friday, 10 a.m.

Mountain Standard time. Look forward to next week. Until then. Tell me whether I'm wrong or right. Easter, west, up or downside to side. I sit to stand and fall to fly. Of all of my impulsive plans, pop and lock. and salsa dance is on demand.

I follow leading off the map, stop the chatter, scream happily. Welcome to the mashup. Welcome to the mashup. Welcome to the mashup. Welcome to the mashup. Welcome to the mashup. Welcome to the mashup.
