Starting point is 00:00:10 to the mashup tell me whether I'm wrong or right east or west up or down side to side I sit to stand and fall to fly of all of my impulsive plans popping lock and salsa dances on demand I follow leading off the map to stop the chatter scream happily
Starting point is 00:00:24 welcome to the mashup welcome to the mashup I can't add myself I don't know you've said it's I didn't change this is oh man we're going to have some fun today. I can't change any of the settings. I can't, I can't add myself. I can't remove myself. I can't add or remove any of my screens. I can't even take part of the cat. Welcome to dealing
Starting point is 00:01:21 with a new thing in the background. You're just, you're clamping down on the control over on your side. Oh my goodness. I'm like sitting here in the background. I'm going, is he going to hop on? What is he doing? Chuse can't. His hands are tied. Oh, isn't that just completely unable to do? Okay. So you're charged of all the AV this week and all the chat stuff and everything to do like that. Like I can't highlight people's chats and bring them up. There's no there's no headlines this week because I can't even see that window. So there you go. You did something different when you set up this and I've got no permissions for any of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:01 I didn't do anything. I got booted from the program. You're good. And so when I came back in, obviously it's reset everything. Welcome to Mashup 207. We're going to have a little bit of fun. All right. We're obviously,
Starting point is 00:02:13 Restream's obviously messing with twos. You can't, you can't mute me, you can't boot me from the screen. That's tough. That sucks. That sucks. That's tough.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Two's got a new book, and he remembered the rent from last week. Okay, and I'm glad you're here for this. Sean, what are Cyclops' powers? Cyclops' powers? Yeah. We're talking to the Avenger?
Starting point is 00:02:35 Are you fun? The X-Man? Oh, yeah. Well, they're also Avengers, too. They are not also Avengers. Some of them, some of them have been Avengers at certain points. But they're, oh, well, they're going to be. Cyclops is going to be in the new Avengers movie? Yes, he is.
Starting point is 00:02:57 But that doesn't mean. He shoots laser beams from his eyes. Wrong. Wrong. That is not his power at all. His power is that he, opens up portals to the punch dimension in front of his eyes. And when the portals in front of his eyes are open,
Starting point is 00:03:18 the kinetic energy from the punch dimension comes through. It is the stupidest thing that you've ever seen or heard of before. But this is it. This is it. You can look this up. I could bring it up on the screen right now, but I can't do that because, I don't have permission to do any of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:43 But literally somebody in like 2013 decided that they were going to further explain his powers by saying that it is him channeling kinetic energy from a dimension of punches. This is what happens when the ideological capture goes to complete idiots. This is it. The punch dimension, Sean.
Starting point is 00:04:14 All righty then. Well, I tell you what, we're going to have some fun today. Mashup 207. Welcome to the Punch. Punch dimension. Welcome to the punch dimension. Actually, you know what? That kind of works.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Oh, it doesn't work. It's not so bad. Happy you're on Friday to Jamie and the lads out there, all the military boys. Glenn says, I like punch. Most tiki drinks are technically punch. Everything's about booze with Glenn. I love it. Welcome to mashup 207 folks.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Thanks for hopping in. Another busy week. I mean, I don't know if we ever have a week that goes by where there isn't something going on. So we got lots to get through today. Imagine if we did have a week where we were just basically like the Maytag repairman of current events. We're like, I don't know, we're just going to sit here and I don't know, play solitaire for like an hour. Do you want to just bring up Mind Sweeper and we could just do that together while everybody watches because nothing interesting? happened this week?
Starting point is 00:05:20 That'd be an interesting week. Don't think we're going to get there anytime soon. Don't think it would be a lot cooler if you did. Be a lot cooler if you did, man. All right. Coot's six and a half, all right? Immigrant who pointed loaded gun in Calgary Road Rage, incident won't face deportation, judge says.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Not only pointed loaded gun, but also pistol whip the guy. Yeah. This is kind of a misleading headlong. as far as I read it, but maybe you can disagree with me. An Ethiopian immigrant who pulled out a loaded handgun pointed at another driver and threatened to shoot during a fight that was
Starting point is 00:05:57 sparked by a minor traffic injunction infraction, sorry, in Calgary, failed to convince a judge to tailor his sentence to avoid deportation. An Alberta court of Justice judge sentenced Thomas Casey Burhy to three years in prison for being
Starting point is 00:06:14 in possession of a loaded Glock 9. Pistol pointing at the other driver threatening to shoot him, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, while any sentence longer than six months behind bars would make subject to an automatic removal order, said the judge, immigration candidate does stay removal orders to enumerated countries that are in a state of war or otherwise subject to violence, danger, terrorism, etc.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Currently, Ethiopia is one such country. So she gave him- So was Canada. Yeah, well, she gave him a sentence that would actually mean deportation, but the way the laws are set up, right? So the headline actually, I don't know, conflicts in my mind. Yeah, it's not definitive yet, but it's looking like he's appealing it. Because the guy who, so he had a Glock 9-mill for this Rotorade incident,
Starting point is 00:07:00 when the cops caught up to the dude a week or two later, he had a loaded 38 special, you know, probably loaded with special ammunition. Just ask CBC. That's about as funny as World War 11. They fought in World War 11 with special. ammunition. From a 38 caliber handgun. So anyway, the dude's got, and he was here on a student visa. Apparently he was studying at the school of Hard Knocks. Oh, boy. Okay, we got a whole bunch here. I'm going to bring up your screen so that twos can, you know, show us a whole bunch of
Starting point is 00:07:46 things. Let's start here. This is a video of grade 9s leaving in Saskatchewan. Several schools pulled their students from Globe Theater student matinee when a scene with a drag queen reached levels of maturity beyond expectation. Not only that, but also it got a puff piece in CTV leading up to it, talking about it. And so somebody, I'm not sure if somebody gave it to Just Binns
Starting point is 00:08:14 or if Just Binns did this. Either way, it's pure genius. They've got the audio of the puff piece over top of what it actually is. Here, check this out. I think I've got it sped up. You do have it sped up. No, I don't. Playback speed one ax.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Full Red Warrior and his lawyer is wild ride of a show. We follow the story of Little Red, who is the only remaining member of the Little Red Warrior First Nation, who discovers that his land, his ancestral land is being developed without consent. So he goes to fight literally for his land, which gets him into some trouble. He ends up in jail. There he meets Larry the lawyer, played by Shaker, his court-appointed lawyer. Story, he moves in with Larry the lawyer and his wife, Desdemona, who is also
Starting point is 00:08:49 a lawyer and that's when things really start to get cooking. It's a fun show. It will leave you laughing, gasping, and talking a lot after you leave. So, yeah. And then at the end of it, you've got that clip of the grade nine students getting up and leaving in the middle of the drag queen performance. So despite everything that was said in the puff piece with CTV, it's some weird drag queen in ridiculous thigh-high heels.
Starting point is 00:09:27 doing a bunch of stripper dances. And that somehow pertains to the guy being the last remaining member of his tribe and fighting for his land. Yeah. Fur erupts among Barry Ontario parents. Do you want me to leave your screen up? Do you want me to leave your screen up? No, that's fine. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Keep going. I mean, you're going to do what you want anyway. So whatever. I'll just fly with it. 207. Sean does what he wants. people have been waiting 207 episodes for this. 206, dumbass.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Oh, whatever. Fearer ups among Barry Ontario parents after safer snorting booklets passed out at school by CMHA. Quoted, I do not know if the teachers and principal is aware, but I sure hope complaints are made, wrote James Bucos in a Facebook post. This is absolutely despicable. Yes, we're all aware. Our kids are going to do what they want when they are in home. But to hand out books that teaches them. how to safely snort coke is wrong on so many levels.
Starting point is 00:10:31 You know what? I think he's mostly right there. Yeah. Apparently, the schools in this country have lost their damn minds. Yeah, well, I mean, go back to Lumsden. Wasn't, you know, that's where they had the... F is for felching. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I think we all remember that mashup and that story. Ottawa has no idea how many temporary migrants are still here. before a House of Commons Committee on Monday when Immigration Minister Lena Diab was asked why Canada's modern weather foreigners are leaving as requested, she responded that she had wondered the same thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:13 The big takeaway, excuse me for a sec, frog in my throat, here's what I am astounded that nobody else has picked up on yet. So you're going to see it here on the mashup first, folks. This is a big, great, bailing. In a 2024 briefing note, the IRCC wrote that the number of undocumented migrants living in Canada could be as high as 500,000 persons. Now, folks, you may remember bring up my screen,
Starting point is 00:11:42 last week when we talked about the Canada falls behind in GDP per capita and all the other charts. Now, GDP per capita is how much money does the country make divided by how many people are in the country. And if the number in the denominator is underestimated by as much as 500,000, then that number is going to be significantly smaller, the GDP per capita. So if you, I got this, I recreated this graph. This is a recreation of that graph on the right with the numbers for Canada, but if the 2024 numbers, which are what was talked about here, are 500,000 people more in the denominator for our GDP per capita, then the dotted line here is what the actual graph would be if we had accurate numbers. So yes, yes, you've got this argument of,
Starting point is 00:12:48 you know, are they doing it because they're stupid or are they doing it because it's a convenient way for them to mislead people on GDP per capita. I would say probably both. And this discussion needs to happen. And why is nobody else realizing the implications of vastly understating the amount of people who are currently in this country? And this, this is a perfect example of it. This is what the actual numbers.
Starting point is 00:13:15 This is what that graph would look like if that estimate is correct, that there's half a million people here that aren't here on paper. because the GDP per capita drops drastically when the denominator gets that much higher. So you're saying the government isn't telling us the full story or giving us the full numbers. Yeah, but there's enough nuggets sitting around. There's enough pieces of the puzzles scattered around that you can grab them and put them together. And I don't know why anybody else hasn't thought of this very obvious implication. So what we should see over the next week is somebody doing just that.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yeah? I mean, you've already done it. Yes, yes. So this is breaking news at the mashup. As far as I know, this is the first time anybody's been talking about this and the implications of the fact that we do not actually count these numbers. The government announced plans to cover a third of newsroom labor costs for Bell, Rogers, and Chorus. And then culture minister Mark Miller says it's not a question of if, but how. put a potential price tag on it of six billion with a B.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Six billion is the number that the liberals are throwing around on this. So that's what do you do? I'm just the the audio on that's garbage. I wouldn't even bother bringing it up. Fair enough. It's translated from French. And you know when you've got that translator who doesn't quite understand where the guy's going with it or what he's saying.
Starting point is 00:14:55 So it's got more ums than Justin Trudeau talking about a drink box water bottle sort of thing. That's literally what the audio clip is. It's not worth our time. So you're saying we're going to get to a story about, what do they call it, softening of accents using AI? You're saying for translators, that's coming real fast. Yeah. Do you want to talk about that now?
Starting point is 00:15:22 Sure. It doesn't matter me. We can get to it. We'll get to it. We'll get to it. Well, here in Alberta, there's been some stories starting to populate on separatist foreign interference. The big news, by the way, is that there were over 300,000 signatures reflected. And well done. Can I just say well done to all the people?
Starting point is 00:15:50 You know, like they talk about all, all the stories are like, oh, you know, all these foreign countries and I'm like, the foreign countries made the people sit in minus whatever it was on the side of the road for like 120 days straight. I don't think so. Not a chance. I mean, every Albertan who's got their eyes on saw them in all the communities sitting there collecting signatures. My hat's off to all those people that took time, probably money out of their own pocket,
Starting point is 00:16:23 to sit there and collect signatures. Now, so signatures collected 300,000 plus. And now the story start breaking. Russia and U.S. amplifying Alberta separatist narratives to Stoke division and distrust. According to a report. Now this, I want to point out, just bring me, give me my screen for a second. Foreign actors targeting Alberta separatism to stroke discord researchers say. and this is from, I grabbed it from archive, I.S.
Starting point is 00:17:00 But this was on the sixth. And again, on the sixth, RC&P found no evidence of foreign interference in Alberta separatist movement minister says. The same day from the same news organization, the Globe of Mail, you have no foreign interference and foreign interference, according to researchers. Now, this is the article that we were leading off with that you just read.
Starting point is 00:17:32 What were your big takeaways here, Sean? I don't know. The longer I read it, it got to exactly what you just said. RCMP Deputy Commissioner has told the Public Safety Minister, there's no credible information that has been received that suggests that Alberta's separatist movement has been subject to foreign interference. Yeah, yeah. there's a very little blurp
Starting point is 00:17:56 near the bottom of the article. Like they say in the middle of it, although it's small, Russia's talking about this. It's like, well, of course people are talking about it. Like, I mean, is that shock anyone? Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:11 You drop the ball here. And, of course I did. To be fair, to be fair, everybody else dropped the ball here too. Nobody actually read the damn paper. I'm the only one who reads these things. I swear to God. Let's look.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Let's take a quick look, okay? First off, the data, the conclusions. If you go into this, it talks about how Pravda, which is the Russian state newspaper, talked about, and it's funny that they discount a Russian state newspaper, but never ours. Irony of that aside, and there's plenty more irony here, so buckle the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:18:53 So the Providence newspaper talked about Alberta separatism significantly more than they talked about anything in Ontario, which is like an odd comparison. Why not go with something like fucking Quebec, for example, or anything else? This has been big news on the global stage. So of course, it's going to be talked about. But that doesn't mean that anybody talking about it has a fucking motive. BBC talked about this exact fucking paper. And nobody's saying that that's foreign interference. So and then it gets into the exact same thing with here's Tucker Carlson here.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Screenshot of Tucker Carlson quotes amplified by Russia's RT source disinfo watch 2026 April. It gets into how Tucker Carlson and Tim Poole and basically like every right of center podcaster or commentator in the States has an opinion on. this. Well, a fucking course they do. You've got one last bastion of common sense in a country that lost its fucking mind and they're trying to split away and go in a different direction.
Starting point is 00:20:03 If we were looking at this exact same situation playing out in other parts of the world, we've talked about Catalonia a bunch of times, we've talked about Honduras, that doesn't mean that we're foreign actors trying to influence what the fuck happens there. It's just that it's nice to know that there are people
Starting point is 00:20:19 in other parts of the world who who aren't idiots. If all of a sudden, Florida or Texas started doing something different, which they have done, do we talk about it? Yes, because it's news. Absid. Damn, lootly. Anything.
Starting point is 00:20:35 So you look at this guy. So the two head people who did this under disinfo watcher, Marcus Colga and Jenny Phillips. And so what they do, their whole thing is talking about Russian disinformation. And so everything's got to be Russian disinformation. and if it goes away, so does their fucking meal ticket. And then you've got Brian McQuinn, who is the CEO of Cipher AI, and Barton Vandalwall, who's the CEO of Cassie Labs. Now, these are the tech organizations that this technology was used for.
Starting point is 00:21:09 So if you go into the methodology, they basically said, we used all of these things to keep track of this stuff, and they're super scary and you should be scared. 2. Recommended action plan for policymakers and legislatures, which is fucking politicians. Evolve C70 for moments of democratic sensitivity, generate pre-authorized rapid response protocols, build a national intergovernmental monitoring and analysis coordination hub, which is literally the businesses that they are trying to build. Oh, it just so happens that the solution to the problem that we are trying to demonstrate.
Starting point is 00:21:49 demonstrate here, happens to be our fucking livelihood. Does anybody think that's a little bit fucking suspicious? And, oh, wait a second here. We need to rely on the message getting out. By the way, so these, the principles on this, their organization was started with seed money from the U.S. Secretary of Treasury to look at Russian disinformation. And they, that head guy is also.
Starting point is 00:22:19 a senior head at the McDonald Institute, McDonnell Laurier Institute, I want to say. And they get their money from the government and the launch of this fucking group was announced through the McDonald-Loree Institute. So it's government money going through extra steps. But you need to get it out there and you need to get it out there in a positive way. well, how do you do that? Well, you got to have the media on your side.
Starting point is 00:22:52 So what do we recommend for leaders and executives? Restore trust in journalism. Public support trusted independent journalism. Communications and media. Prioritize local media and independent journalists. But here's the thing. When they're talking about independent journalists, they're not talking about Juno News, who is literally independent.
Starting point is 00:23:13 They're talking about the favored mainstream media. So it's, it all just comes together. It's this incestuous inbred and incorporated game of twister. And these assholes are playing it while everyone wins a chunk of the money that we spend our lives sweating for. The media gets bailouts. The federal government gets the shit job they've done of managing Confederation downplayed by overstating foreign interference in Alberta's separatist sentiments. And these guys, if everything goes well, are going to collect a nice big, big, fucking contract to accomplish sweet fuck all.
Starting point is 00:23:52 The whole thing is a billboard for their companies put up on the front lawn at Parliament Hill. And now we're in a situation where somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 billion a year is spent giving it uncritical legitimacy by a bunch of fat retards who wear more makeup than the Met Gallagallot lizards in front of a bunch of overpriced cameras that you paid for with scrape knuckles and back problems. This is the undertaker, the grave digger, and the florist working hand in hand with the hitman. The only way this soup sandwich situation could be any more ironic is if the paper was co-authored by Alanis Morissette,
Starting point is 00:24:30 and as the plane that is Confederation crashes down, some elbow dragger in Moncton says, well, isn't this nice? Alberta paid for this whole fucking ecosystem that is being used to discuses. their thoughts and opinions and beliefs. This is a magnum opus of why Alberta should be separating. Okay? And it never occurred to any of the Project Hummingberg cockfags in this Voltron of bullshit that either A, they could be standing up or B, they literally just wrote the ironclad,
Starting point is 00:25:08 Get the Hell Out of Dodge Manifesto for not just Alberta, but every single province in this sad historical footnote of a country. And it's Russian interference? Fuck right off. I haven't seen the media this worried about coming Russians since that rumor that Donald Trump filmed the sex tape in Moscow. This is the Shepard and the wolf being drinking buddies at the local pub and putting it all on our tap.
Starting point is 00:25:34 So it's a gross ecosystem where everybody just knows where their bread gets buttered and the butter comes from our cow. And if you don't believe that, your tinfoil hat is thicker than basic economics by Thomas Soul that you obviously have never read and rant. Some people ready for a twos rant this morning, obviously. Tell me I'm wrong about any of this. This is why people tune in, Tews. They want you to get fired up and they want to laugh a little bit.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Happy Friday, everybody. A twos rant. Two's going full twos. You want to show the Jason Kenny video? I assume you do. No, but yes, I guess we have to. It was a prospect of getting here 50%. And even if you do, then we go into endless and I think pointless negotiations that will lead nowhere.
Starting point is 00:26:31 The separatists are not actually strengthening Alberta. The knife-to-the-throat metaphor that people use, Quebec's been doing this for 60 years, why don't we replicate their threat, all you end up doing is electing more liberal MPs from Alberta, fewer conservatives who are defending the province's interests in Ottawa, and potentially electing an NDP, through a vote split.
Starting point is 00:26:49 How does that advantage Alberta's interest in the Federation? You guys... This isn't... This is not a knife to the throat threat. This isn't, if you guys don't start being
Starting point is 00:27:02 fair and reasonable within Confederation, we're going to leave. That conversation happened decades ago. We're way past that. And I get the fact that Jason
Starting point is 00:27:16 Kenny, I've heard, I've heard rumors that nothing's nothing official yet, but that he's assembling a team to try and go for the leadership of the Conservative Party federally, which would explain why he is returned from his exile, much to the chagrin of everybody in Alberta. But he doesn't realize that he's basically,
Starting point is 00:27:38 you know, if he tries to do this on a federal scale, it's going to be like what happened with Nahit Nenshi, where, you know, he was sure he was in charge in Calgary for, a while, but he left and everybody in that town fucking hates him. And it doesn't fucking work. Because they're like, oh, well, you know what? He'll be able to have a strong following, you know, in the place where he came from. The fuck he can.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Who the fucking, who the fucking Canada is going to vote for Jason Kenney as an individual? The left doesn't like him because he's mean and conservative. And the right fucking kicked him out because he's a piece of. of shit. So where is he going to get votes from? Good. Exactly. I just wanted to point this out real quick. Bring this up. Colt Montreal, which is just an absolute fucking rag. If Daniel Smith doesn't want to stand up for Canada, then it's time for her to stand
Starting point is 00:28:43 down. Daniel Smith's job is not to represent Canada. Daniel Smith's job is to represent Alberta. If you don't have the same, your cult Montreal, when was the last time you had the same fucking line of reasoning applied to the block Quebecois? Their job isn't to represent the interests of Nova Scotia or Saskatchewan. Their job is to represent the interests of fucking Quebec. Danielle Smith's job is not to kowtow to idiots in Ottawa and Windsor. Her job is to represent the people who voted for her and literally zero of them live in fucking Quebec. So fuck all the way off.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Honda. Parliamentary Secretary to the industry minister, Karim Berdisi says Honda has not confirmed a report that the automaking giant is permanently suspending plans to build a $15 billion EV plant in Ontario, although I'm sure they'll find a way to sell it for $15. Yeah, I kind of want to show the audio of this. At the very least, you need to see the picture of this guy.
Starting point is 00:29:57 This is the fucking guy. He looks like an electrocuted horse with a stigmatism. Tell me, I'm wrong. I can't show the... The office, the minister that this plant is dead. So Honda has not confirmed this report. The minister and officials were in touch with Honda today. and what's happening is they're communicating to us that they're going to be in touch
Starting point is 00:30:25 soon publicly with their medium and long-term plans. And did that discussion at all involve sort of like any kind of indication one way or the other of why this information was surfacing? Like did they indicate to you that is under the realm of consideration? I think they'll have to wait for Honda to share their plans publicly. In the meantime, I just dodging. Dodge, dip, duck dive and dodge. It's at full capacity, over 4,000 employees, and that our auto strategy is anticipated for this kind of eventuality,
Starting point is 00:30:58 where we know that the global auto shock, the global trading shocks created by the Trump administration's unjustified tariffs are reverberating, and we've got a lot of initiatives underway to help deal with it. So with respect, Mr. Bardezi, did your auto strategy actually prepare for this eventuality? I would put to you that there's a lot of evidence that EVs are no longer or should no longer, be the quote-unquote, as Mr. Champagne said today, North Star of that strategy. It's not just this potential news out of Honda. You have Stalantus and Windsor with Next Star. GM and its mining partner, Vail, paused the second phase of their cathode factory project in Quebec, and in production of bright drop in Ingersoll, four delayed plans to build electric vehicles in Oakville in favor of
Starting point is 00:31:42 the F-series gas-powered pickup trucks. Like, what more evidence do you need that, you know, deciding to center their strategy on EVs is no longer the right decision? Anyways, I just, I, Vasi, who I think it might be getting a little bit hotter lately, even as well. Anybody else noticed that? Anyway, you know, she just lays out all of the stuff that we talked about. It's funny, like we talked about this as it was announced. As these were announced, we were talking about how bad of an idea they were. And then now you've, excuse me, fast forward a couple years and they're all being canceled.
Starting point is 00:32:20 cancel culture has hit the EV industry, folks, and it is not pretty. And to Philippe Champagne's comment about EVs being the North Star for automotives, he's actually more right than he intends to be. When you think about like the North Star, what do you use it for? A guide. A guide. Do you go towards the North Star? No, it's for reference.
Starting point is 00:32:49 It's up. You look at it. You know exactly where it is. You know it's not going anywhere. And then when you're going in some different direction, you use it as a reference point because you know it's fucking stagnant. It's actually the perfect analogy for the EV industry. You want to show Nahed Nenshi?
Starting point is 00:33:11 A little NDP, shall we? Sure. I'll show a little bit of NDP. So first off, this is, you know how like sometimes, clips don't age well. This is probably the first time that a clip hasn't aged well before it's even finished being made.
Starting point is 00:33:35 The Premier has proven herself to be a foreign agent by accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. She'll never get her clearance. A few moments later. Funny timing, because you were talking about this a little bit earlier and you said the Premier won't be granted to security clearance. I am writing an article today about how she has been granted.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Oh, has she really? And I just, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, well, you know, geez, I hope that the people granting the security clearance really dug into her connections with foreign governments. But good for her. I hope she'll use it well. And I hope she'll tell Pierre Pahliav, he ought to get his. Well, it makes sense for her to get it. It makes sense for Pierre Pahliav not to because he's actually speaking to things at a federal level, whereas she just needs to know what's happening at a federal level. Now, the hundreds of thousands of dollars that he spoke of, if I'm not mistaken, I think he's still trying to beat the dead horse that was the cat.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Correct. The copper cat that he assumed was solid gold. Which wasn't. Because it was copper. I don't know if it was copper or not. I just know it wasn't a solid gold cat. And the value of it was, you say, $100,000. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Okay. Now, the headline for this. The headline for this would have been, had Sean not mucked it all up, the headline for this would have been incumbent political party losing to an empty chair of the week. This is the latest BC Angus Reed model for BC. Conservatives. Conservative 66 seats. NDP 22 seats. Green remaining at or 25.5.5.5.5.5.5.5.5.5. seats, green remaining at two seats. This is a huge conservative projected
Starting point is 00:35:30 majority. Now who is the leader of the BC conservatives right now? Literally no one. They're in the middle of a leadership election. They just had the debate last week that opened with a land
Starting point is 00:35:46 acknowledgement. There is a literal empty fucking chair that is beating the BC NDP of which they are the incumbent party on the West Coast and an empty fucking chair that is beating Doug Ford in Ontario.
Starting point is 00:36:06 And as a concept, you know what, I kind of like it. It's almost saying that anarchy would be preferable to the situation we have. What if we just had nobody in charge? Actually, I prefer that. Yes, I would vote for that.
Starting point is 00:36:19 It kind of feels like we have nobody in charge. We've got no way substantial in charge. But it's just, it's really funny that these situations where the concept of having no person in charge is preferable to whatever the fuck is happening right now. Sticking with the NDP, Saskatoon MLA, Betty Nippy Albright to quit NDP, citizen independent. She's the MLA for Saskatoon Center and is the only sitting First Nation female representative is quitting NDP caucus.
Starting point is 00:36:48 She was the mental health and addictions critic. She recently called for more resources to be allocated to organization. and other nonprofit groups following the closure of Saskatoon's prairie harm reduction, the city's only supervised drug injection site. Yeah, in good conscience, I can no longer support the direction of Carla Beck's leadership. So these people just keep getting, because they're like, no matter who we put in charge, they keep fucking losing. Maybe they need to go in a different direction.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Now, there's an obvious comparison to be made at the federal level for the conservatives. Maybe we don't just run on Justin Trudeau light as a continual campaign thing. But it's the same thing with the NDP. What if we just have the craziest stupidest people imaginable, put them front and center and see what happens? See what happens. Oh, it didn't go well. Let's get the second craziest second stupidest person imaginable. And let's make them the leader.
Starting point is 00:37:51 No? Okay. Well, who's the third craziest and third stupidest person any of us know? and they're just working their way down the list. Oh, somebody just moved here. Wait, wait, wait. See how crazy and stupid they are? Oh, oh, they're more than the second place guy.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Okay, well, let's just jump them in real quick. Sing for the moment. Sing for the year. Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears. I need the screen for this. Surrey Police has previously released photos of individuals suspected in being involved in ongoing extortion crisis. We are seeking witnesses, victims, or associates come forward with relevant info.
Starting point is 00:38:35 So if you or anybody you know has had any dealings with Hanspreet Singh, Harsh Deep Singh, Harjit Singh, Terranvir Singh, Prabjot Singh, or Love Beer, Sing. That's actually kind of a cool name. love do you do you want whiskey i love beer or also dayagee billing uh an eight year an eight year old boy was attacked by a beaver at a park in new jersey while fishing and it's actually bit and then another report shows the beaver actually tested for rabies let's show the video sean for those of you listening and not watching, you're missing out. Look at this shit. Oh, my fucking God.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Holy shit. Oh. This thing's coming over here. So, you know, that guy just took a page out of Donald Trump's book, hey? You just grab it right by the beaver. Go. And then now, yes, beaver attacks. And apparently the beaver has now tested positive for rabies since attacking an East Indian man.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Or an East Indian boy. So he got rabies after attacking the East Indian boy. Maybe you shouldn't have bit him in the hand. Drivers. Brother, I don't know if you know this, but I think you hit the bridge. Yeah. I like the roof of your truck's missing. Yeah, I don't know if you noticed that.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yeah, no, I say it's a convertible now. It's an open top. So there's that and then this one. Can we get a post game interview? So what happened? What happened? Yeah, I know I can see that, but like, what was the thought process? You know?
Starting point is 00:41:23 Wow, that's like a, what year is this thing? Probably got 20-20. So for those of you listening and not watching, there's a semi-bob tailing, and the sign that it ran into clearly says 3.6 meters. Which, if you've ever been in one of those for more than about 10 seconds, you know that it's a hell of a lot taller than 3.6. And he just went for it anyway,
Starting point is 00:41:54 and it didn't go as he hoped. I said, yep. Now, parental warning, they're small and hard to see, not because, not because they're small and hard to see, but just because the video is zoomed out so far, they appear by all rates to be a very respectable set of breasts.
Starting point is 00:42:19 But we are about to show some literal knockers. So, Florentine, Tina something or other from Austria did this art exhibit where she is the bonger thing in the bottom of a bell and she is topless
Starting point is 00:42:37 and being slammed back and forth. Now, I don't know, she looks pretty hot. It's hard to judge the quality of upside down breasts because no matter what they are, they look amazing. This is a ridiculous stunt.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Can I just say that? Ridiculous stunt. I know this is here for it. I'm sorry. Are we here to take this seriously, Sean? No, we're not. Are we here to take this seriously? This seemingly attractive lady is saying that I will continue to show you my boobs
Starting point is 00:43:20 until you stop using oil and gas and think some fucking how that that is a reasonable argument that people are going to listen to. Just imagine if your wife wanted you to do something. I don't know. Take out the garbage. And then she's like, I'm going to keep flashing you my boobs until you take out the garbage. How fast do you think that garbage is going to get taken out? out, Sean.
Starting point is 00:43:47 How fast would you take out that garbage? Or would it move? Exactly. If you flipped it. She said, I'll flash if you take the garbage out. Then you'd be like, that's a pretty good incentive. You wouldn't even stop and ponder. Like, there would just be like, it'd be like the back to the future flame trail going
Starting point is 00:44:08 out to the, going out to the bin and back. And you'd be like, I'm ready. That's what these people don't understand. The attractive ones are going to continue showing us their boobs until we stop using oil and gas. Get the Sarah Hoffman ones to make that same statement. How can the liberals possibly be this awful at picking Governor Generals? Maybe you heard, maybe you didn't.
Starting point is 00:44:39 The next Governor General is Louise Arbor, former Supreme Court Justice, International Criminal Court Prosecutor, and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. She's 79 years old. And I don't know. What do you want to say about her, twos? Well, it's just the classic Laurentian elite for one thing. And for another thing, we've now had three governor generals in a row who are women.
Starting point is 00:45:09 And we have had every governor general ever in a row, not being from Alberta. if they were actually taking this separatism stuff seriously, they would either appoint two's. A point, I don't want to be governor general. I mean, like from a financial point, I do. You know that after you're done, you get to expense up to $200,000 worth of just everyday living expense type things for the rest of your life.
Starting point is 00:45:37 So I could literally be governor general for 43 seconds and then get $200,000 of whatever the fuck, I want paid for every year for the rest of my life. Because there's no minimum on it. Julia Payette was only there for like three years before they said it was too toxic of an environment with her around and quietly shuffled her out. And think about how easy that job is. You need to sign like 10 pieces of paper a year and you need to cut like five ribbons.
Starting point is 00:46:07 That's it. That's the whole fucking job. Sign me up. If I did it, I would talk about how fucking stupid it was. And then they'd remove me because I would be quietly shuffled out because you created a And then. And then I would create like some kind of like a YouTube channel where I would just point out the stupid shit that I'm buying on the taxpayer dime because there's this agreement that I get
Starting point is 00:46:37 it for the rest of my life. And then I'd just, I'd be giving it away and whatever else. Right. But just be like, here's a giraffe. What? Yeah. Yeah. I bought a giraffe and I expensed it to Alberta.
Starting point is 00:46:50 through the federal government. Alberta bought me a giraffe. Needless to say, chooses you're getting hired anytime soon. I don't want to keep it. So we're going to have a big barbecue at my place. By the way, if anybody has like a 40-foot tall garage,
Starting point is 00:47:08 we need to skin this thing. Think a giraffe taste any good? I don't know. I just... I'm not a huge expert. I imagine that if you were smoking a marijuana cigarette, it would, because you'd have to be high as hell to eat a giraffe. I don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:47:34 You would have to be high as hell to eat a giraffe. All right, sorry. I'm not, okay, fine. Laugh, everyone. Laugh. Well done, Tews. Well done. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:46 You're so amazing. You're just so great. Tews is just the best, doesn't he, folks? You're such a son of a bitch. Organized crime groups. I'm getting the jokes. Organized crime groups are behind grocery store thefts across Canada. The retail council of Canada is calling grocery store thefts a national crisis
Starting point is 00:48:09 with losses now approaching $10 billion annually across the grocery sector and it's only growing. Yep. Well, I mean, we talked about the Walmart and I want to say Prince Rupert. They closed down. We talked about the big beef heist, and then we've talked about all the different... The cheese heist. The maple syrup heist.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Yes. Here's the thing. Pretty soon, people are going to get so fucking hungry in this country that you're going to see a craft dinner heist. And it's funny to think about, but I'm not going to be the least bit surprised when it happens. They stole a truck loaded with dry pasta.
Starting point is 00:48:49 And that dry pasta is craft dinner. Well, I mean, it's... It just, this stuff keeps getting crazier and crazier. And then, of course, yeah. Yeah, it just, it keeps getting worse. Because not only are people getting hungrier, but Canada's increasingly become a culture where if you can steal from somebody, it's their fault for creating that situation.
Starting point is 00:49:20 And therefore, you're automatically right to have done it. I don't know where it came from, but that's where we're at now. well if you play that thought out far enough we can steal from the federal government it's the only way folks the only way that that whole refugee thing is going to go away is if we all sign up to be refugees
Starting point is 00:49:42 floor cross or maryland gladu you want to show the video i assume you do what a fucking idiot this lady is look at this this is just remember how we used to talk about how justin trudeau was just a shitty act trying to be overtly enthusiastic about things. This lady who looks like she just ate the evil witch from Hansel and Gretel
Starting point is 00:50:09 is up in Parliament talking about the party that she used to fight against. To defending Canadian trade and ensuring our opportunities in my writing of Sarnia Lampton-Becasmanong and across the country. The Minister of Women and Gender Equality and Secretary of State for Small Business and This is a new This House on the historic progress We've made to diversify Canadian trade. This is almost to the point where I had to watch it a couple times
Starting point is 00:50:56 to see if it was sarcastic or not. Because it essentially, like it just, it bears all the hallmarks. Like it's so over the top that if I, for some reason, was ever in a situation where I was going to read that speech, I would say it identically. That's how bad and over the top it was.
Starting point is 00:51:23 And yet here she is, unironically presenting it. Georgia mayor fires entire police force for upsetting his wife. The mayor of a small Georgia town has axed its entire police force for upsetting his wife who'd previously accused of creating a hostile work environment. Yeah, she'd been fired actually, but was continuing to work there after the fact. she was just like, well, she got fired and then said, fuck you, I'm coming in anyway, which like I really appreciate the work ethic. And then the police officers said, this is bullshit.
Starting point is 00:52:03 We need to stop this. And the mayor said, you know what? You're all fired. Rather than just keeping, rather than just keeping the lady who got fucking fired out of the place that she doesn't work at anymore, which you'd think the police would be able to do, by the way. He was just like, no, no, no, just everybody's fired. Fuck all y'all. You want to show the Rosemary Barton tweet from McLean's?
Starting point is 00:52:32 Here we go. Yeah, so, I mean, a couple interesting things to note. So McLean wrote a puff piece about Rosemary Barton and her continued dedication to journalism and impartiality and all of this stuff, you know, in an era where an objective truth is a nice, to have and the bar for politicians is in the depths of hell. It's helpful to have someone like Rosemary Barton in the mix. Rosemary Barton, not many mashup people know this because they were watching us rather than
Starting point is 00:53:03 her idiot fucking face. But when she was talking about the liberals during the live election coverage federally last year, she referred to them as we. She was like, oh, we only need this many more. Not the liberals. We. and there's been how many different fucking examples of her fucking stuff up over the years
Starting point is 00:53:26 and I get the fact that if you're on TV for 20 years you're going to have some mistakes. Like we've been doing this for 200 some episodes it's going to be pretty easy to find us fumbling a ball somewhere if you want to do a deep dive. But the thing about it is is that the ball fumbles aren't related to impartiality. And so McLean's originally post this
Starting point is 00:53:48 getting 71 likes and 400, 16 comments ratioed into fucking oblivion. And then re-does it gets 13 likes and 161 comments. Basically, the only people, nobody actually thinks that. It's a stupid puff piece where maybe they tell themselves that in the front of their brain, but in the back of their brain they know it's not true. The best part of this, though, by far is McLean's magazine. As this country embarks on a 360-degree nation-building makeover,
Starting point is 00:54:20 Canadians have more questions than ever. Rosemary Barton is doing her best to get answers, no filler. If you turn things around 360 degrees, Sean, where are you? In the same place? You're in the same fucking spot. This is the media in this country. I mean, they're right. World War 11, 2s.
Starting point is 00:54:50 They're right. World War 11th. We are doing a completion and we're going 360 degrees. We're doing a complete 360. degree turn on the direction of this country. Okay. Tumblr Ridge Secondary School to be torn down in wake of mass shooting. The secondary school in Northeastern British Columbia where six innocent people were killed and two others wounded in Canada's deadliest mass shooting earlier this year will be torn down.
Starting point is 00:55:19 School District 59 announced the plan to remove Tumblr Ridge Secondary School Thursday and BC Premier David Ebby discussed the decision at a news conference. The Premier said the district had made the decision to replace the old secondary school with facility at the new location in the community, quoted what they heard overwhelmingly was that students, the educators, the staff, and others wanted to move to a new location. Yep. So they're just moving forward, trying to just put the mistakes they made in the past behind them with one notable exception.
Starting point is 00:55:51 On February 10th, Jesse Van Root-Seller, an 18-year-old former student at the school, shot and killed her mother and sibling at their home. She then walked to the high school and opened fire, killing five young students and a teacher's aide before shooting herself. So not a complete fix of prior mistakes, but on its way towards it. As readers or listeners may remember, that was a dude. And if he doesn't like the fact that I said that, he can sue me. Oh, wait, I can't because he's dead. At what point are we going to address the high rate of suicide in the trans shooter community?
Starting point is 00:56:45 Polymarket. Just in. South Korea officially surpasses Canada as the world's seventh largest stock market. Congratulations, folks. The mashups been saying this for a while, but Canada is no longer a G7 country. Sean? I don't know. 207. How much worse does this get before it gets?
Starting point is 00:57:20 It's better. Well, if you're living in a tenement block in New York City, it gets a lot worse. Cross-dressing, masturbating tenant from hell and pink thong terrorizing New York City apartment building. So depending on what wig he has on, it's who he messes with. He has different personalities. It's multiple personalities. The blonde wig, he messes with me, the person that are interviewing. The pink wig, he messes with the guy on the second floor.
Starting point is 00:57:50 The red wig, he messes with the third floor. Now, throw my screen up here real quick. I just want to show a few pictures of this dude. Here's a picture somebody took of him jacking it in the stairwell. Here's a picture somebody took from their fish-eye door people where he's an axe. Standing outside with an axe wearing a dress. Like a dress that would probably look really good on. a lady.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Here's pictures of him being arrested in what might be the same dress. It's kind of hard to tell. Here's him in the pink wig and some in a miniskirt. Here's a lady with a sign on her door saying please deliver any packages to a direct person
Starting point is 00:58:40 due to the neighbor in one B stealing package is. There's one B which apparently is just handwritten on the door and this is another lady who's afraid to encounter. Here's another picture
Starting point is 00:58:54 that somebody took with him swinging what looks like a golf club. It might be the same dress. I think, you know, it's, I guess we've only got one move.
Starting point is 00:59:04 But yeah, so anyway, this is, this is just all one dude. How much worse is going to get? Well, it could get a little stranger, for sure.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Uh, vigilante predator catcher arrested for allegedly forcing creep to eat cigarette butts, a wildly popular vigilante predator hunter has been busted in Florida for allegedly assaulting a suspected creep and forcing him to eat, use cigarette butts.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Jay Karnakom, a father of five with more than a million followers for his videos, confronting apparent child sex predators, was busted by the Clay County Sheriff's Office in Florida last week in charge with simple battery and felony extortion. Capricon, who has posted hundreds of videos confronting alleged pedophiles, has admitted that he knows his clips, don't lead to convictions, but promise to continue. exposing suspected predators anyways. Quote, if you see me smack a child predator most of the time,
Starting point is 00:59:57 I've already called the police. And they told me because there was no real child, or I wasn't a law enforcement officer, they couldn't do anything. See, here's the thing. As later on in the article, the cops say, you know, if you see something like this,
Starting point is 01:00:12 you need to call us because this is what we do. We do it because it's our job. We don't do it for likes and clicks. By the same token, if some random guy who just wants to do this for likes and clicks on his YouTube channel is able to track down enough child predators to have a regular account posting regular updates on YouTube and he's able to just go out and do it. What the fuck is the police doing that is not that?
Starting point is 01:00:45 See, here's the thing is it's always the onus. The cops always put the onus onus on the citizens and besmirch the people. who are going around trying to catch predators. And the obvious question is, is if it's so fucking easy, why are there still so many out there for everybody to fucking catch? If it's your job to do this and you're not fucking doing it,
Starting point is 01:01:10 what the fuck? Because if you guys caught every fucking child predator out there, there would be nobody left for this guy to make eat cigarette butts. By the way, and it said used cigarette butts. Like as far as I know, you can't just buy new cigarette butts. It's really just kind of overstating things. It's redundant.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Used cigarette butts. We get it. They're cigarette butts. They have been used. You don't need to simplify this to that point. CN Tower. You want to show the picture? I assume you do.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Yeah. So tonight, the CN Tower will be lit blue, white, and gray for borderline personality disorder Awareness Month. I would just like to say that if it's for borderline personality disorder awareness, I think like flashing red would probably be more correct and appropriate. You know, one of the things that we start to see when you, when you follow the headlines week to week, I couldn't, you know, like last week it was, what was the actress's name on OnlyFans too? I can't think of her name off top of my head.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Oh, Shannon. Shannon Smith. But yeah, the American pie chick, right? Went to OnlyFans and in a week she'd made a million bucks and you're like, oh, so this week, Jamie Presley is joining OnlyFans. And it's funny because I remember thinking at the same time, I was like, you know, I was thinking, well, who else would I want to see? Do you want to pull it up?
Starting point is 01:02:46 Do you want to pull it up? I assume as we talk about this, okay, there you go. if people don't remember this B-list actor who twos and me had an argument before the show started, he's saying, she is amazing and wonderful. Her and Nataliene Velazquez, by the way, if you guys aren't fans of my name is Earl,
Starting point is 01:03:03 you absolutely should be. It's one of the best sitcoms ever. And Jamie Presley and Nadine Velasquez were absolute smoke shows. And I was thinking about how, when we were talking about this last week, I was like, I was rolling it around in my head while we were talking, and I couldn't decide
Starting point is 01:03:20 which one of them. I was specifically thinking about the two chicks from my name is Earl and trying to figure out which one would be better for only fans, and I couldn't come to a conclusion, so I didn't say anything. And then now a week later, Jamie Presley is there. So I think that's, it should almost be happy news.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Yeah, I'm sure. I just go where I sit, we're going to see this trend pick up, right, with B-list actors. And Jamie Presley as well. You're not going to see, I don't know, take your who's uh... Jamie Presley's an a list actor
Starting point is 01:03:55 who's uh who's an alist lady oh come on she's not she's not she just is wonderful she's amazing like it was it was the role of a lifetime
Starting point is 01:04:05 and then she was in one of like the poison ivy movies too I think or something like that she's been a oh and the tainted love music video by Marilyn Manson she was the chick in that you want to tell me
Starting point is 01:04:17 you're going to look me in the eyes right now Sean and tell me that the girl from the Marilyn Manson Tainted Love music video is a B-List actress. I don't put her in the same realm as, I don't know, who, I'm trying to think here, who are the top actresses? Like maybe Charlize Theron?
Starting point is 01:04:34 Sure. Yeah. Did you ever see The Devil's Own? She takes all of her clothes in that. Monster. There's multiple instances where she's been naked in front of a camera. Okay. So only fans would be a small jump for her.
Starting point is 01:04:47 Maybe you want to mention Angelina Jolie. there was that movie from like 2008 where her and the chick from the later seasons the lost had all the nude scenes together. Oh, oh, really? That would be a smaller jump for her. I'm just saying like a list actresses have no issues taking out their boobers.
Starting point is 01:05:10 I'm saying they don't have to because they're getting paid millions upon millions upon millions of dollars. To take out their boobers. Do you know why Tomb Raider didn't have any nudity in it? Angelina Jolie specifically wanted nudity in the movie, but Sony or whoever it was said, we need to have a PG movie,
Starting point is 01:05:33 so no, you can't show everybody in the theater your boobs this time. I guess when I go, okay, highest paid actresses, are you going to see any of these ladies on OnlyFans 2s? Scarlett Johansom, Sophia Vergera, Verga, Reis Wutherstoon, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston,
Starting point is 01:05:53 and... Dude, have you seen eyes wide shut? Elizabeth. Elizabeth? Look at horrible bosses. That isn't only fans. Lepricon. Leproon.
Starting point is 01:06:02 Remember Leprikan? Margo Robbie. Is Margo Robbie going to go on only fans? No. Wolf of fucking Wall Street, dude. I'm just saying to it as an only fans. Are they going to open up an only fans? It is.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Wolf of Wall Street isn't only fans. It just had a bigger production and distribution budget. You can, I'm right. It's okay. You know, where she's like, we're not going to be friends. And then she comes out wearing the thigh highs
Starting point is 01:06:32 and like literally nothing else. Or remember when Leonardo DiCaprio's like, who? Yeah. Are we on this show? That's only fans. In the next month, with more mainstream legitimacy.
Starting point is 01:06:44 Oh, Margo Robbie joined OnlyFans. That's what Wolf of Wall Street was. You can just say no. It's okay. It's okay to just say no. And admit that B-list actresses, supporting cast actresses, are going to be using this.
Starting point is 01:07:01 You just don't understand. You don't even understand. The majority of leftist discourse is them not understanding the concept, thereby making discourse impossible. And that's basically the match. Are you calling me a leftist? Is that what you just said?
Starting point is 01:07:13 I'm just saying you're taking a page in their book. You're taking a page from their book. I'm saying that all of these movies are only fans under, you know, would have rose by any other name smell just as sweet. Okay? You call it something different.
Starting point is 01:07:29 going to pretend it's something different, but it's only fans. All right. Peel Regional Police. You want to show the, can you drive in barefoot or flip-flops? All right, folks, this is an actual video that the police station put out. Is it illegal to drive barefoot or in flip-bops? Well, you'd be surprised what the law actually states in Ontario. But before that, you tell us, legal or illegal? Why is that even a thing, Sean? I'm going to say a certain demographic has been doing certain things. A certain demographic has been doing certain things.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Well, why would they pick an East Indian police officer for this video? I have some thoughts, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, flip-flops. Simple addition. Simple edition probably gets you to an answer. Public private health care model coming to Alberta, breaches Canada Health Act legal expert argues. Alberta's public private health care model directly contradicts the requirements and principles of Canada Health Act law firm Goldblatt partners saying a new legal opinion. The opinion to be released Tuesday was commissioned by the Canada Health Coalition and advocacy group focused on the preservation of universal health care.
Starting point is 01:08:45 They should probably focus on how brutal it is and why different options are trying to be. We've tried nothing and we're out of ideas. The other really interesting thing about this article is at no point does it mention any of the end of any of the other provinces in Confederation that currently have models like this, like Ontario. If you search this document for the word Ontario, it shows up zero times. If you search for fucking Quebec, it shows up zero times.
Starting point is 01:09:11 If you want to be a stickler on what they probably would have said in an article and look for just Quebec, it shows up zero times. And people wonder why Alberta's frustrated with Confederation. Well, you can't do this. It's illegal. Okay, but like they're literally doing that exact same fucking thing over there. I love how in the article it talks about wait times, like by pulling doctors
Starting point is 01:09:35 away, it's going to make wait times just and I'm like, do you know what the wait times are right now? I don't know. I mean, can't get worse? I love how, I love that. They're like if there are, you know, if the doctors are doing different doctoring in a different building, it's going to affect wait time. Like, it's not
Starting point is 01:09:53 like they're pulling away to, I don't know, start a stone cutting company. They're not going to go to drywall and the doctor and the wait times are going to pile up for the patients. They're going to be doing the exact same fucking thing in a different building. It's not going to pile up wait times.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Even if everything stayed exactly the same, which very arguably would not. But even if everything stayed exactly the same, the wait times wouldn't get longer because the doctors are no longer in the public sector. They're like literally, does the sign outside the building really,
Starting point is 01:10:29 dictate that? Is that the argument you're going to make? Because it's not going to go the way you think it does. AI accent masking at overseas call center sparks union backlash in Canada. A growing use of artificial intelligence to alter the accents of call center workers in real time is raising concerning among union leaders and academics who warn the technology could mislead customers and affect Canadian jobs. I don't think it's misleading anyone. It's, uh, and actually, I didn't even know this was a thing, but now I'm like thinking. I didn't know. this was a thing either. I'm like, that makes sense now. It makes sense for the delay. When you call somebody and there's the delay and you're like, am I talking? What the heck is going on?
Starting point is 01:11:10 They're using accent masking because the person isn't speaking your language. Well, there's that. And then also, you know, it's kind of a dead giveaway. When somebody calls up and says something like, Hello, my name is Mitch and I'm from Ontario. Would you like to send me Bob's in Vigee? Here's my question to you With this accent masking Do you think you're going to see this at like The place I thought immediately was like
Starting point is 01:11:43 A Tim Horton's drive-thru or something like that? That's exactly it. There is a good. That's where I was going to go with this Is there is a legitimate use scenario In this country And instead of going up to the drive-thru And going
Starting point is 01:11:56 You could literally first off, I don't know why it hasn't been replaced by AI yet, but as a stopgap, you could have the people with the unintelligible accents where you're just like, I just need to speak to somebody who speaks English. Can I talk to somebody who speaks English? Can I just, do you have anybody there who can understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? I just want a fucking cup of coffee. Okay?
Starting point is 01:12:26 You could take that situation and you throw in the accent reduction AI software. and now Raj from Brampton is actually somebody who would be capable of giving you the fucking double double. Well, yeah, I just, we're going to see this pop up in other places. Oh, but I mean, think about it this. It's foregone conclusion in my opinion.
Starting point is 01:12:50 We're so fucking hell bent on not having people in this country work that rather than, okay, like, think about these call centers. Well, nobody wants to talk to us and nobody can understand us and everybody's really frustrated because we farmed out all these jobs to Sri Lanka. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:10 Well, so we need to solve this problem, right? And then they're in the boardroom and the one guy in the corner says, what if we just started hiring people in Canada to do it again? And then it's that classic meme where he gets thrown out the window. Okay. Because the obvious simple solution to this is get people who speak English without a heavy, measurable accent to be the ones having these conversations. But they're like, well, no, that's fucking dumb.
Starting point is 01:13:40 What if we just started inventing a new technology that doesn't exist anywhere else that we could use solely for the purpose of masking the accents of the call centers in Sri Lanka so that it gives every guise of being authentic and local without actually having to hire anybody in Nova Scotia. When I was in Panama, I got in Uber, and I obviously don't speak very good Spanish, very, very limited.
Starting point is 01:14:13 And the guy pulled at his phone, and we talked to the phone, and if you spoke into Spanish, gave it out in English and vice versa. And it was actually quite enjoyable. So I look at this and I go, this is going to spread to a whole bunch of different realms and probably already has,
Starting point is 01:14:29 and this is the first time I've heard of it, And they're complaining about it, but I'm like, this is going to spread to a lot of different realms. And it already has. I just didn't realize it. But it actually makes sense the more I think about some of the phone calls I've taken or when you're trying to talk to customer service. You have no idea why you're like, I'm talking to AI right now. No, you're talking to a voice. On the other side of the world, there's got to go through an accent filter first.
Starting point is 01:14:57 But I mean, the whole concept of accents has been going on forever. Like, I set the Alexa. I don't want it to be, because it'll be like, hey, what do you want? But I set the one in the kitchen to have an Australian accent because it's hotter. Now, the problem is, is that it also understands me in an Australian accent. So I got to be like, oh, cancel notifications. Two people arrested following BBC investigation and a fake gay asylum claims. Last month, BBC news.
Starting point is 01:15:32 I just wanted to point out the headline. I just wanted to point out the headline. The asylum claims are fake and gay. South Carolina inmate who believes he is immortal cannot be executed due to mental illness. A judge rules. Yeah, this is in South Carolina. He's right. He said, you can't kill me, I'm immortal.
Starting point is 01:15:54 And then the judge said, you can't kill him. He's so crazy that he's right. BC housing, Vancouver puts the worst part is the worst part is he's going to just going to be like, I told you. And you thought I was crazy. But look. And he'll die thinking he was right. Are you done?
Starting point is 01:16:24 Sean, he will spend the rest of his life thinking he was right. He's immortal. Yes. Yeah. He will spend the rest of his life thinking that he was right. By the time he's wrong, he's not going to be alive anymore to know the difference. Vancouver put homeless people in a beautiful brand new building and within one and a half years
Starting point is 01:16:45 the entire building was trashed, TV stolen, roof caving in multiple fires and the guy they interviewed got stuck in the ventilation system for 24 hours. Yeah, so they spent $55 million on this hotel and in what, a year and a half? Year and a half. It just became
Starting point is 01:17:02 a fucking shit show. And so Global tried to get in to look at this place and they wouldn't let Global in and they're like, we're here to report on this, and the taxpayers spent $55 million on this, and maybe they should be able to see what the fucking money got spent on. Because that's just the initial cost. That's not all the repairs that have been going on since.
Starting point is 01:17:24 That's not dealing with everything. But here's the video, and keep in mind that they didn't allow them in to actually get the full extent. And there were no privacy issues with residents then. More than five years later. All the stuff in the hallways pictures were taken off the wall, the TVs were all taken and sold. It was destroyed in less than a year. Following multiple fires, floods, and at least 1.87 million spent on building repairs and remediation, it appears BC housing doesn't want taxpayers to see inside the Lugat.
Starting point is 01:17:58 Do you think the public should be able to see the conditions? Absolutely, yeah, it's been destroyed. It's absolutely decimated in there. It's like there's flood damage on every floor. There's multiple rooms. You can't even go in. The roofs are caving in. Holcomb, who survived a bizarre incident,
Starting point is 01:18:13 which saw him stuck in the building's ventilation shaft for more than 24 hours in 2024, says he's gone as of Friday. I'm excited. Yeah. Kristen Robbins. You know, I just want to say that as bizarre as that situation may have been, unless your name is John McLean,
Starting point is 01:18:32 you getting stuck in a ventilation shaft is probably your fucking fault. I noticed they didn't elaborate on that. Yeah. Yeah. Like, could you explain to us how that happened? Could you explain how did you get stuck in the ventilation? Yeah. Did you bring a fucking rope?
Starting point is 01:18:53 Here's one. Heart failure rising among younger Canadians data shows. The Canadian Heart Failure Society and Canadian Cardiovascular Society is calling attention to a rise in the heart failure and heart-related diseases in young Canadians to mark the eighth annual national heart failure awareness week. According to a news release published last week, weak heart failure is one of the fastest growing cardiovascular disease in Canada, and it is now manifesting in earlier ages. I wonder what that could be about.
Starting point is 01:19:18 Tews, there's lots of heart failure that's caused by these risk faster, things like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, coronary artery disease, all these things that used to be much more prevalent in older patients are increasingly common in younger patients as well. Now, can you bring up the screen for a second here? I just want to try something real quick. I'm just going to go control F and then on this page I'm just going to do a search
Starting point is 01:19:45 starting with V, A, C, C. Huh. No results. Interesting. End seen. Georgia Maloney. You want to show the picture of the deep fake? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:08 So George Maloney posted on Twitter apparently it's an Italian but it automatically translates nice job Elon by the way that was pretty cool in these days sorry I guess I should say that her name is George Maloney in these days several fake photos
Starting point is 01:20:28 you gotta read the entire thing in an accent now no I don't yeah what are you talking about you gotta read it in an accent the entire thing now circulating generated with artificial intelligence and passed off by some zealous opponent. I must admit that whoever created them, at least in the attached case, it also
Starting point is 01:20:47 improved me quite a bit, but the fact remains just to attack and invent falsehoods nowadays, anything at all is used. The point, however, goes beyond me, deep fakes are a dangerous tool, blah, blah, blah. Verify before believing and believe before sharing because today happens to me, tomorrow it can happen to anyone. So for those of you who didn't know this already, there are a bunch of fake, sexy pictures of Georgia Maloney floating around the internet and no, I do not know where they are.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Yes, I tried. At least she had some fun with it. I mean, they've actually made me look pretty good. Just the fact of like, hey, people are sharing fake pictures of me dressed up sexually. Like this one, for example. Don't bite. You want to show the video of mud flaps in Calgary?
Starting point is 01:21:38 Yeah, I do. I'm probably going to edit it or tweak it just a little bit. But why are you giving me a ticket for mudflops? This is a stock vehicle. What is required? Pull at your tape measure. I want to see this. Look it up.
Starting point is 01:21:48 Nope. I'm asking you what you're charging me for. We're not having mudflops on the front. On a stock vehicle. Yes. On a stock vehicle. Yes. Really?
Starting point is 01:21:56 You got to buy those. Go get your supervisor. This is bullshit. You're a joke. I need one. I'm not leaving. You can't leave. You're required.
Starting point is 01:22:05 So then, fast forward a couple of minutes. And this is good. You went past it. You got to show his truck first. Go back a little bit, too, because he shows his truck doesn't have mud flaps. Well, that's what I'm about to show you. You just went past it.
Starting point is 01:22:28 Okay. Here's them arguments. Hey, where's your mud flaps? What's the difference? Oh, you were right. I thought it was afterwards. My bad. So the cop is giving him a ticket for not having mud flaps.
Starting point is 01:22:50 on the front tires of his truck, while the cop is in a cop car that literally does not have mud flaps on the front tires of his truck. You can't make it up. And that was in Calgary. You remember the story, folks, last week we covered on the ex-JP Morgan banker,
Starting point is 01:23:09 Chiru Rana pretend his dad, well, now he's pretend his dad was dead to get bereavement leave, but he's alive and spoke to the post weekend. That's the guy who accused a glamorous female colleague of forcing him to become her sex slave. Yeah, this is the one.
Starting point is 01:23:24 This is the one who said that, if I remember how this went, I bet your Asian fish head wife doesn't have cannons like these. So. And now it turns out that he also lied about his dad dying. So he could take time. Yeah. Yeah. So.
Starting point is 01:23:40 Got bereavement pay and a whole bunch of time off. Pattern of behavior. And then it ended up, his dad is alive and well. And he's got a one point. They interviewed him. Yeah, $1.7 million home in Vienna, Virginia. Yep. So the story just keeps on going and building,
Starting point is 01:24:00 and we'll be here to just keep you up to date on ridiculous things in the world. Rolling Stone moved Eric Clapton down from the top 10 of the greatest guitar players of all time to be 35 because he admitted to being COVID vaccine injured and refused to discriminate on entry to his concerts based on vaccine status. They even admit to the reasoning in the explanation. your screen to as I assure you want to pull up that there he is at 35 yeah and then these days nobody really considers Clapton god his COVID comments clearly rule out any chances of being all knowing but that doesn't stop guitars from worshiping his plane one of the greatest guitar players he was in the top 10 this is a regular list that Rolling Stone puts out every so often and he got
Starting point is 01:24:44 knocked from top 10 to number 35 because he had a bad experience. Yeah, there he is at number two. There he is at number two. In the previous one. He went from number two to 35, not because he got worse,
Starting point is 01:24:59 not because anybody substantial in any substantial amount showed up in between the number one and number two. It's not like 33 people showed up that were better than him, but not as good as number one. He got knocked down
Starting point is 01:25:12 because he didn't. require vaccination at his concerts, and he spoke publicly about being vaccine injured. Correct. You want to show the barstool sports? All right. So just check out the camera work here. Now, folks, you're going to,
Starting point is 01:25:39 if you're listening rather than watching, it's 22 seconds that you're going to wish you were watching for. So the cameraman totally bands away from, A beautiful woman walks by while they're doing the interview. He pans in on her. And then he goes back to the interview. And then the two, yes.
Starting point is 01:26:17 And so the camera just pans right over as she walks past. And then afterwards the cameraman goes back to the interview. And then you can see these guys in the background go like, holy shit. It was a very attractive lady. Yes. Yeah. That was price of gas in Lynn Valley,
Starting point is 01:26:40 two, two. You've never been happier for a high gas price. There it is. Triple two on the Petro Canada sign. All right. Pull me off the screen here. And we're going to get to our happy news. Well, actually, sorry, sports desk real quick.
Starting point is 01:27:01 And I had something from the weather. And then for some whatever reason, I didn't copy it right. But from the weather, there was just more of the bullshit. I think it was like a high of 15 or 22. They got the scary red treatment. And it was Corey Morgan talking about it. So we're not the only people who noticed this. Now, shout out.
Starting point is 01:27:20 I just want to say, you know, the NHL playoffs are continuing. And the Edmonton Oilers, to their credit, have not lost a single game in the past week. I'm surprised to even know. Undefeated. Undefeated in seven days. Hopefully they can continue that streak for a little while. big things on the horizon for them.
Starting point is 01:27:49 I'm missing phone calls. Don't people know that we're doing the mashup right now? I don't know. Happy news. We got a few here. First, Alberta to bring in law with power to rip out bike lanes and stop new ones. So that's being, is that through or that's being tabled? To bring in means has not happened yet.
Starting point is 01:28:12 I know, but sometimes the headlines don't match. Reddit and then I'm like, I don't think this is in yet. I'm just asking twos. How many headlines have we had here where you're like, these moral. You don't think this is in yet. Okay. No, it's not in yet, but they're bringing some common sense to,
Starting point is 01:28:32 if municipalities want to bring in bike lanes, they need to back it up with some data. Buffalo Wild Wings, bottomless appies are $999 for your group, not per person. Yeah. Do you remember Red Lobster? did unlimited shrimp and then went literally fucking bankrupt.
Starting point is 01:28:51 So I don't know what's going on with Buffalo Wild Wings, but... Get on over there. Good luck. Get on over there. Get over there while you still can. Eric Nuttall had the tweet. John McKenzie CEO of Cinovus came out swinging on their Q1 conference call today.
Starting point is 01:29:05 Great to see CEOs becoming more vocal about our squandered opportunities to summarize no other oil producing countries doing this to themselves. Time for Canada to wake up. Yep. So there's a whole right up here. We don't have to get through the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:29:20 But CEOs are individuals at the heads of companies. And would the heads of companies be better off if the population at large better understood the stupid laws being made and the ramifications of those stupid laws? Yes. But the individual CEOs have a lot more monetary. like there's a lot more riding on that CEO as a person for being the first chicken to stick its head up and get it cut off than to have the company limp along. It's it's why the Edmonton elk changed their name, even though Eskimo doesn't mean eaters of raw fish. It means laser of snowshoots. It would have been very easy for somebody to jump up and say, this is stupid, you're stupid.
Starting point is 01:30:09 Here's the numbers backing it up. But they don't because they're scared. to losing their jobs. And now you've got some actual bravery and courage coming from CEOs. So hats off to them. I hope we see more of it. Remember we were talking about the food professor
Starting point is 01:30:25 folks and how he'd been pulled from writing his articles for free, if I recall to, is correct? Yep. Now he's got, here's his happy announcement. His happy announcement that today I'm publishing my first weekly column in Le Affairs, a publication reaching
Starting point is 01:30:41 more than 1.1 million French-speaking decision makers across Canada. My column will be called the Critical Fork, and I will enjoy complete freedom of expression without constraints. So he's coming back. Yeah. So good for, good for Sylvain. Yep. And then Dallas Brody, you want to show the video?
Starting point is 01:31:00 Well, we got one more in here. So bring this up real quick. Aaron O'Toole is also trying to make a comeback in relevancy. and much like Jason Kenny he's been getting a lot of pushback because he was an ineffectual douchebag who was basically just a liberal writing on the coattails of
Starting point is 01:31:19 nothing at all in particular. So some random guy I never even seen or heard of this guy before but jumps in on Aaron O'Toole and here's what he had to say. We didn't go overboard in opposing you. The fact that Ottawa is not ashes and Canada's political
Starting point is 01:31:37 class is not facing the gallows should make that obvious. You people went mad with power. You lied every day for years. You destroyed the economy. You rotted out the tattered remains of our social structure, which you'd already ruin with DEI and immigration. You stole years from the lives of our youth, inflicted irreparable developmental harm, all to protect them from a virus that threatened no one but senior citizens who had already exceeded the average life expectancy. Every single thing you people did was immensely destructive and not a single one of you has been held to account. There is no moral equivalence. here. There's no both sidesism. You are weak and treacherous little man who betrayed his country
Starting point is 01:32:14 to toady to the devocracy. And the only thing that can be said in your favor is that you are just like every one of your colleagues in every one of the parties currently squatting like vile little toad piles in our desecrated parliament. And that ladies and gentlemen is the kind of thing that politicians need to hear more of. Dallas Barone. Yeah. Elementary school has been renamed to Waukes-Taka-Sekam. It looks like that. Wesseke-Ewaam. That's the new name of Sir Matthew Begby Elementary School.
Starting point is 01:32:49 Then we've got Sanich Indian School Board has been reigned to the Wessanak School Board. And the new school is called Skinaku-Sokitel. Well, no. No. We might get a copyright for, so I'm going to skip ahead to this. My favorite is the high school I went to that was called Point Grey Secondary School is now called Point Gray Steywatinza. This is the other thing we need to see more of,
Starting point is 01:33:23 is actual politicians having honest conversations in whatever the fuck language need be about how insanely stupid this virtue signaling is. All right. Community notes. A couple things coming up here. This populates for me. Of course it doesn't want to. Oh, there we go.
Starting point is 01:33:45 Okay. We are May 9th. So what is that? Tomorrow, correct? It's May 8th the day, right? May 8th. May 9th. Faith family and friends fundraising for Tony and Chris,
Starting point is 01:33:57 you can go to Grannymackay.cai. To find out more about that. Essentially, they are getting together Saturday, May 9th. It is at Willow Lane Barn in Mountain View County, Alberta, and they're raising funds for Chris and Tony. I mean, pretty self-explanatory, I think. Then you've got May 16th, Carrano versus Rousey. Are you excited for this? You are.
Starting point is 01:34:28 Gina Carrano and Ronda Rousey are having an MMA fight. I think it's going to be great. Pull up the screen here. So you've got Gina Carrano and Ronda Rousey Gina Carrano you may remember got fired from the Mandalorian for saying some pretty fucking basically obvious things and then Ronda Rousey who
Starting point is 01:34:57 has also kind of been more of a public figure than a fighter for a while I think it's gonna be fun and interesting to watch I'm really looking forward to it they're getting ready for it I saw this like here right right here look at Gina Carano
Starting point is 01:35:11 is she not absolutely gorgeous and I'll be totally fair I'm a little bit biased. I wasn't huge fan. Not that I didn't like her, but I thought she was infinitely better once I found out how base she was. And then you've got Rhonda Rousey getting ready for it. Here's from MMA babes.
Starting point is 01:35:30 Rhonda Rousey is ready. Look at that dump truck, Sean. She's like a lobster. All the good meats in the tail. No, no, no. Why? That lady is thicker than a Brampton accent. I bet your friend.
Starting point is 01:35:47 fish head Asian wife doesn't have rear mounted cannons like those Sean she looks like she's got to push up her on backwards she could crush a paint can with that thing. She's going to need a boob job just to stand up straight. We have
Starting point is 01:36:04 okay what is this Saskatchewan Prosperity Project Summit for Freedom and Prosperity Get Ready to be a part of something extraordinary in Saskatchewan Prosperity Project brings incredible roster of speakers including Alberta Prosperity Project CEO Mitch Sylvester Rebel News, Tamara Leach, Alberta Prosperity Project Kathy Flatt and senior columnist with the Western Standard,

It's an event like no other. That is going to be on May 23rd in Saskatoon and May 24th, Regina. You can find it at Saskatchewan Prosperity Project on Facebook, and I'm sure if you just search it, you can find out more about that. So that's the last one we got.
Starting point is 01:36:51 No, it isn't. No, it isn't. Of course it is. We've also got Vance Crow, Articulate.ventures slash IBC, the interest-based communications. Ended on May, May 4th, 6th.
Starting point is 01:37:02 Yeah, but there's, we've got to tweak how we're doing this, okay? He's got upcoming sessions. He's got upcoming sessions. What is that? Are you trying to be French or Italian? We got a, we got a, yeah, you're getting a little too Frenchie on me.
