Welcome to the Masha. Tell me whether I'm wrong or right. Easter west up or down side to side. I sit to stand and fall to fly. I follow my impulsive plans. Popping locking salsa dances on demand. I follow leading off the map. Stop the chatter.

Scream happily. Welcome to the Masha. Welcome to the MASH up. Welcome to the MASH up. Welcome to the MASH up. Welcome to the MASH up. When are we going to get real answer as to how microwaves were invented? because what we've been told is just it can't possibly be true.

The classic story is that the guy was using microwaves for some CIA government thing, and he had a chocolate bar in his pocket. And the chocolate bar melted. And then that's when he realized that microwaves could be used to heat things. But the problem with that story is, is anybody who is ever a child at some point knows that if you put a chocolate bar in your pocket, it just melts anyway. So why would a thing that was going to happen regardless of the situation somehow lead him to the conclusion that microwaves could be used to heat up things? It's tenuous, spurious?

It just doesn't pass the thought process test where you just say, okay, does this seem like a reasonable chain of events? And because of that, I'm suspicious as all hell. And I bet you there's more to the story. And I want to know what it is. You know, how long has Toos been staying up at night thinking about microwaves? That's what I want to know. You wonder what keeps people up at night? Tews has been pondering microwaves.

That's what you've been doing? I don't really, no, I'm one of those people who, when I go to bed, close my eyes out. And then wake up and talk about microwaves. All right, fair enough. Bashup 214. We're back on Streamyard for those wondering. Hello to Substack. We hope it works.

We're trying a few things out here as we get ready. for the S&P road trip, and I convinced Tuesday to come back on Streamyard after we had a whole bunch of issues, and we're gonna test it out this morning. So make sure if you're watching, you let us know the ins and outs of everything you're seeing on your end.

Now, Tews, welcome back to the show, mashup folks. Thanks for hopping on. Happy Airborne Friday to all the military fellas, and appreciate you all being here. If you're enjoying the show, make sure you subscribe all those lovely things. And if you're watching on X, let's say, yeah, hit a bunch of buttons.

Let's retweet this thing, get it out there to more people. Okay. All right. Okay. Do you want to do Coots six and a half before we bring the ladies in? We have a new name for it this week. Okay. The dude with the bug guide mugshot gets arrested for some new crime of the week.

Yeah. That's exactly what happened. So, uh, you guys may remember, we showed this mugshot of the dude who got arrested. Correct. And then released and then got arrested and then got released.

And then got arrested and then got released, including one time where he was arrested an hour after he was released. And so we just keep, I don't know, like maybe we should just have them on the show. Except we can't because he doesn't speak English. He has to use a translator whenever he's in court. Maybe him and his translator. Is this Canada's version of the P.P. P. P. Poooo man? Because I feel like if you're in New York, you have your own version of this.

And it's the P.P. P. Poo P. P. Poo man who keeps popping up in headlines for throwing feces and all the things that we keep talking about. He seems to come back around. This guy's been, his mugshots been on the show. Multiple times now. Yep. Yes. Yeah. And so anyways, welcome back. Medhani Johan's friend of the show. Friend of the show, yep. All right, we got two guests sitting in the background. They're probably going, what on earth are these morons talking about? I can see Evan nodding her.

And she's like, welcome back to the show, Eva Chippiak. And maybe a first timer here, Carrie Sakamoto. I don't know. You're muted right now, Carrie, just an FYI. Ladies, thanks for hopping on. I'm going to throw it over to Eva because we'll start there. Carrie, you can hop in as well, but bring us up to date on what's going on in the world of our courts. Yes.

Yeah. So last week, we were in a four-day certification hearing on the class action proposed, where Carrie Sakamoto is the proposed representative plaintiff. So this is on behalf of all of the vaccine injured individuals in Alberta. Carrie is the proposed representative plaintiff. And we spent four days in the Calgary Courthouse before Justice Diltz, making submissions on why this action should go forward on behalf of everyone. And the five claims that were made were negligence, negligent misrepresentation, misfeasance in public office, breach of fiduciary duty and conspiracy to commit assault and battery. And so we presented the picture to the court, which I think we're all very familiar with, that this was a very coordinated effort by our governments.

In our case, we sued the federal government and the provincial government because of that intercoordination between the two governments, which was very much the purpose of the claim from a top-down level. and we heard then the defense and the responses from the federal government first and then the provincial government. Really interesting to hear their version of events and why they thought that everything went swimmingly and smoothly while recognizing carries injuries but still denying responsibility in an appropriate way. that would be my assessment of the last week.

And I'm sure Kerry has some thoughts as well. Yeah. Oh, sorry. I was just going to say, so just real quick, just in case anybody's not familiar with the case, this is about a vaccine injury from the COVID-19 government response. Is that correct? Yeah, and maybe I'll, if it's okay if I run your show,

maybe I'll turn to carry on talking about her injury because it just. Well, I was just going to say, Carrie, great to see you. Thank you for joining us this morning. And yes, the floor is yours. Hi, thanks for having me. It's always nice when people give us a space to talk about this, because as we know, the word vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine are, you might as well be swearing online because you can't say those words. So I appreciate it. Thank you. My journey started in 2021 and I got, I feel like I was coerced into getting the vaccine. And I went and got my first one, which was AstraZeneca in April of 2021. And then in June, I got my Pfizer vaccine and I got sick that night. It was flu-like symptoms, things that they were talking about on TV.

So I wasn't too worried. My husband had the same vaccine at the same time, and he was having the same reaction as me. So I wasn't concerned. We felt like shit, but we were okay. So it lasted the week. By day seven-ish, my husband was getting. back on his feet and starting to feel better. And I was feeling worse.

I developed a fever. I developed tonsil stones on the right side from the fever. And so my doctor put me on penicillin or sorry, some kind of antibiotic. I'm sorry, I don't remember what it was exactly. I took it for less than 24 hours and I ended up in the short story is I ended up in the hospital with Bell's palsy. I ended up staying in the hospital for about 17 days. While I was in there, that's when the doctors diagnosed me.

So I was fortunate, you could say, that I'm one of the few that has doctors that diagnosed me and that have been behind me all the way. I had really good care and while I was in the hospital. But as you know, it was during COVID, and so I couldn't have any visitors. It was just my husband or my mother, one of the two, and not at the same time. It was one or the other.

I had three kids, and so I was desperate to get back home. while they told me this was a vaccine injury, they didn't know what was gonna happen to me as far as health goes. And so here I sit five years later, still paralyzed. It's a permanent injury. I've been a part of the vaccine injury support program. I was compensated, a small compensation in 2023,

and then I was put into, appeals right after because there was a bunch of things they didn't assess. Like, for example, I have two types of vertigo. I have memory loss now from the medication that I have to take to control the pain that I feel from the Bell's palsy. So I found Eva online and we connected and she's been on my side since then and has done a wonderful job legally getting this as far she has through the courts. I'll just jump in because one thing Carrie was saying was that there was a minimal compensation, but things like she's has hearing loss and submitted a claim for her hearing.

hearing aid, which was denied. Eye vision loss as a result, and that claim for a new prescription for her eyeglasses was denied. So she's been put into this program that is an abject failure, and this is a Canadian vaccine injury support program, which isn't supporting anyone. In the court documents, Carrie swear an affidavit where she called the program dehumanizing and even at times abusive. So the point of this lawsuit was to recognize that there was a huge coordinated effort by the governments to entice.

They called it encourage. That was the word they like to use. Encourage the vaccines. Fine. But then they also had this program. Look here. We have the vaccine injury support program to help anybody, which has been an abject failure. So it was showing that disconnect.

same with the adverse events reporting system, which many people in Canada still refer to the Vera system in the United States because it's more well known. The one in Canada, again, abject failure. It actually hasn't been updated since January of 2024. So when the government is going out of their way to tell people how safe, effective, and interchangeable it is, while not taking those same steps to show

what the potential vaccine injuries are or adverse offense and providing a competent support system. It's just a failure top to bottom, bottom to top. And that's the basis of our claim and how we presented it to the court last week. In regards to the court, Eva or Gary, I guess what is the goal of it? And then what's the timeline of it or your hopes of the time? timeline of it? Timeline, unfortunately, is not fast, which we know. This is actually the last day of the court was June 18th, 2026.

That was exactly five years after Kerry received her Pfizer vaccine, which injured her. So that shows you timeline. But the goal is to get some recognition that the government, to put it place, plainly screwed up in some way and getting some accountability through the justice system. One of the reasons to certify a class action is access to, or there's three reasons, access to justice, judicial economy. So not every vaccine injured person should go individually to court to make their grievances known, but everyone together, if the issues are common.

But the third reason, and in this case I think it's so incredibly important, is behavior modification by the wrongdoers. So this would be an opportunity really to analyze what the government has done throughout that period, investigate what information they knew at the time, what information they were telling people at the time, what information they were omitting to tell people at the time, and we have a review of that.

So this first part, we didn't have any of that evidence. All we could rely on was public document, what the defendants in this case are government, allowed us to see. So that was also one of the things we were asking the court and saying is we only know so much. But we believe we have enough to move forward with the class action. And then at that point, we get to open the books and see everything. Too's you're muted.

That's an interesting thing there, Eva, is that I feel, and I think that a lot of people tuning in would agree that discovery in something like this is probably not something the government is very eager to undertake. Correct. I would agree with you on that point. In fact, they were already quite adamant about not even looking and allowing the judge to put any weight to Alberta's COVID task force that was commissioned by the government of Alberta itself. It's on their website and they were up in arms about whether or not the court should even take a look at it. And what we were saying is that's the only piece of information the public has to have a glimpse of what went on during that time. And to deny our ability and we're not looking to use it as truth of what was going to,

going on just look here. There's a document that is suggesting there was some problems. And those are the problems we're trying to address in court. So I'm with you 100%. I think that they're not keen to have us look deeper into this. One of the other things that stands out to me is that, Carrie, if you were admitted to the hospital a week after your vaccination, according to the statistics that were constantly being presented to us,

you would have been admitted or classified as an unvaccinated person because you had to have been vaccinated for two weeks before you were considered vaccinated according to the statistics. And if I think back to a lot of the big discussions that were happening at the time, one of the larger ones was saying, you know, you have people with, concerns and the way you're addressing them is saying that hospitalization, two weeks after vaccination versus everything else is incredibly ambiguous.

And yeah. So I actually was, I got sick right away, but I didn't end up in hospital with Bell's palsy until I think it was 12 days, 12 to 14 days after. So it was right in that range that the Bells palsy developed. I guess I'm curious, Carrie, you know, when we talk to Eva, Eva's been on the show an awful lot and, you know, Eva's lawyer. So she goes into the courts an awful lot and sees the antics and some of the arguments put forth by the government. You being just not an everyday person. I don't mean that in a slight. Just one of us. Not a lawyer with your background. I'm curious, you know, sitting in there and hearing things, what stuck out to you? Good question. That, I really didn't realize how you really have to know the laws. Like you could sit there all afternoon and not have a clue what they're saying.

They're talking legalese, I call it. But I did learn that, yes, it's going to come down to very specific things that happen to me, that I think we'll be able to use to get through to the courts. I felt like the judge was fair. I felt like she really was listening to everybody and trying to really understand everybody's point. So I feel like she, I feel like she was, I don't know the words.

I don't want to say anything to jinx my case. I think that's a good word. Well, you brought up a good point there with the legalese especially. This one's forever probably, but I mean, Carrie, if you know the difference, because I imagine you've been getting a crash course in all of this. You said misfeasins. What's the difference between misfeasance and malfeasance? Yeah, let's not go there.

Okay. On a lot of these things, and this is the sad part in Canada, I guess, is the law isn't incredibly well established. Canada isn't litigious like the United States, so they have a lot more precedence on things like this. So I hate to say it was as a lawyer of myself, I don't understand per se the difference, but I don't think we have enough law to understand it. misfeasance has been litigated in court a bit more, and there's a clearer understanding. And in fact, like, we were arguing, well, the government of Canada was going on with an argument for a long time about what is the test for misfeasance in public office. And interestingly, a Supreme Court of Canada case just came out last week as well, which started in Alberta, I think, the chief electoral officer.

but it's generally the abuse of public power going outside of their legal limits. Yeah, so that would be it. And how you get there is it's always constantly fleshed out in court too. That's the other part of the common law system. We need more test cases to make it more understandable of when that applies. But we went with misfeasance because there's more in the law about that. Okay. For the audience, ladies.

other than like just knowing like bringing it to their attention this is going on is there anything they can do um in the time this is in the courts any way they can help anything they should pay attention to um you know in the days weeks months ahead carry did you want to um you know we're just waiting for the judge now to make a decision and so every day is like I hope it's today You know, it's just been a really long time coming. And there are a lot of people in this class action and a lot of people watching from all over the world. I received messages just before going into court from a group of 600 nurses in Sweden who were in support of me and sent me a lovely note. So people are paying attention.

I think that it, after five years, it's finally maybe coming to the forefront of it. more. I find that more people are talking about it in Canada. For example, the Allison inquiry that's about to happen in September, where the injured can come to Parliament and speak about what's happened to them. I'm hoping that the MPs being able to put faces to these stories, it may make it more human, more relatable. I feel like at this point, most people know somebody who's vaccine injured or know of somebody. who's vaccine injured. And then, oh, sorry, Eva.

Just jump in there, too. Carrie does have a gift and go, and that goes to her therapies, because what I hear from Carrie, too, and she's very humble and does a lot on her own. Like, obviously, the claim is that the government has basically abandoned them. So what's happened is people are supporting each other.

Carrie is, you know, communicating, as she mentioned, with other vaccine injured people. And they're trying to figure out what the best thing to do is because the government has basically abandoned the vaccine injured. So she hasn't gives him go for her own therapies and to pay for that stuff. And you asked what can people do.

The other thing in Alberta that makes sense to me and I try to mention this as much as possible is Quebec has its own vaccine injury support program and it has been established since 1985. Canada very quickly, when they were going to roll out these vaccines in December, I believe it is 2020. They just announced the vaccine injury support program, which as we discussed has been an abysmal failure. My question to the Alberta government and to Albertans is why on earth don't we in Alberta have our own vaccine injury support program? Health care is provincial. The doctors assessing Kerry are here in the public.

province and then through this nonsensical federal program the doctors fax medical information to somebody in ottawa and that whole process has been a nightmare and uh incompetently run so it just makes rational sense it alberta is suggesting that they want to be more like quebec this would be a very easy uh program to establish within alberta that quebec has had since 1985 So for the audience, if anybody wishes to talk about that to their elected officials, that's the whole of it. And I threw up the Gives and Go link as well. That way, people watching if they want to support Kerry, they can. Before we let you, ladies out of here, Carrie, you got the stage.

Is there anything you want to tell the audience before we let you out? I just wanted to add to what Eva said about the province having their own programs. It just makes sense. as far as we, that's where we get our health care. That's the doctors that are taking care of us. If we had our own programs, see, right now, also I'm finding, I'm hearing from a lot of people, is they're finding it hard to get care. And it's because the doctors are afraid to recognize it as a vaccine injury because of their own views

or how they're treated by their colleagues. I think that the more we talk about it, hopefully more health care professionals, can become involved and then the people like me who are injured actually can find doctors to care for them because a lot of people are just suffering because they they're not getting any care. Yeah, I know specifically in Quebec, ironically enough, I know of a person who had basically just within a few days of one injection. I can't remember which of the variance of the vaccine it was. But within a few days, started experiencing a bunch of heart problems, went to a doctor, and they just flat out were like, no, no, no, it's definitely, no, it is not the, how you say, a vaccine.

Because it was in Quebec, right? So, yeah, it's an ongoing issue across the board where these concerns are being delegitimateized? Well, bringing up the Allison inquiry, we had Dean Allison on the show about a week ago, I think now. And it going to Ottawa and allowing people to be heard, I think is an important step. And certainly if people want to fall along,

once again, the Gibson goes up. And of course, here on the show, we'll do our best to, you know, continue to bring on people such as yourself, Carrie, and Eva, to inform the public what the heck is going. on and try and get it out so that at least the public knows it's going on and to follow along and try and help support it the best they can. If I could add one more thing, there is for the injured who are listening or if you know

someone who is injured, there is a support group in Canada called Can Rise 19. And that's Can Rise 19. And they have support groups and they have medical provider lists and where we're we can support each other and tell each other if there's doctors in your province that are helping, etc. So if you're injured, there is a little bit of help out there. It's just kind of getting going. It's really big in the U.S., so we're trying to bring it here. Ladies, appreciate you hopping on and giving us an update and all the best. Yeah. Good luck.

Thank you. All right. So there's Carrie Sakamoto, Evatripioch, bring this up to date there, folks. We've got, I mean, it's always great whenever it comes on and then to be joined by Kerry as well. It was a nice addition. This week, we have a ton to get to.

It has not been. And we have one hour. So let's quit talking about how much we have to do. All right. And let's start actually doing it. Calgary police release photos of suspects in South Asian extortion. investigation. Calgary police are asking for the public's help getting information about more than a dozen suspects in an ongoing extortion investigation involving members of the

city's South Asian community. Investigators say that since April 2025, there have been 49 extortion related incidents in Calgary with 19 of them involving shootings. So far, 16 people faced total of 56 charges and police have confirmed that none of them are Canadian citizens. Isn't that funny? Because it's always Brampton Man or Surry Man. or whatever else, but whatever it's a giant gang of people, all of a sudden now, none of them are Canadian. Look at this. This is 16 identical photos, 15 identical photos.

There you go. I don't know who's the guy who didn't get his picture in there, but sing with me, sing for the years. And then foreign nationals arrested, charged in BC extortion shooting, so sticking with the extortion theme here, police say two foreign nationals have been arrested in charge in connection with a suspected

extortion-link shooting in Surrey, B.C. Armand Singh and Samarjit Singh? I'm probably pronounced that wrong. If they're upset about it, they can come on the show and talk about it. So you didn't do the voice.

Armand Singh and Samarjit Singh. All right, there you go. Police say four men, including Armand and Samarjit Singh. were arrested during the searches. Both men remain in police custody pending their next schedule of court appearance on June 29th. Yeah. So that's in

BC. So it's, you know, as two's pointed out, we've been following this for a long time, and it has been a lot in Ontario. A lot. And then it started, we started talking about BC, now here in Calgary. You're just, you're just seeing this story spread everywhere.

And we got other things going on. Oh, wait. Saskatchewan. The Regina Police Service has released a statement regarding the call to prayer Regina's new downtown mosque. Tews, I can't read, if you can read that off your screen, anything you want. Yeah, so what had happened was last week, there was a three-minute-long loudspeaker call to prayer from a mosque in downtown Regina. And the, you may remember, the liberal government recently passed the Combating Hate Act. which was just going to help us be better citizens and not going to have any unintended consequences.

And now we have the Regina Police Service is aware of public discussion around a permit issued by the RPS to a local faith group to amplify their call to prayer via their downtown rooftop speaker. The call lasts approximately three minutes and takes place over the noon hour on Fridays. A consistent process is followed when assessing application permits. The following criteria is considered.

This falls within bylaw requirements. The current permit is in place until July 10th. The Regina Police Service, now keep in mind, this is a statement about the public discussion of said permit. The Regina Police is aware of threats being made in retirement. retaliation to this practice and in response, an enhanced police presence will be visible around Muslim places of gathering. Why did it say local faith group at the start and now it's saying Muslim?

Threats will be taken seriously and investigated under recently enhanced Canadian hate crimes legislation. What is a hate crime? Any criminal offense committed against a person or property motivated in whole or part by the offenders real or perceived bias, prejudice, or hate against an identifiable group. You can be convicted for a perceived bias, prejudice, or hate. It doesn't actually have to be real. It doesn't have to be legitimate. It just needs to be perceived. So if someone says, oh, hey, this looks like the thing, then you go to fucking jail.

Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. If someone says, it looks to me like this is happening, that's all it takes, whether it's real or not. Perceived. Here's the thing.

I can say I have a perceived, I caught a perceived giant fish. Maybe that fish was just a scrub. But if I say I perceived it to be a giant fish, well now it's a giant fish in legal terms I could have just got out of the pool Sean and said I've perceived something entirely different

and from a legal standpoint you cannot refute it regardless of said pool's temperature separatists not invited to Canada here's a letter to separatist Dear Alberta separatist I would like to cordially invite you to not attend Canada

celebrations this year. Please do not line up for pancake breakfast or birthday cake. Please do not reach your hands out for candy along a parade route or let your children clog up the bouncy houses. Please do not listen to any of the free concerts. And most importantly, please do not glance up at many fireworks displays as you obviously no longer have any respect for what they represent. Yeah, I don't want to just shock the person who wrote this letter to the editor too terribly. But that's not being. an issue. The next time you're, if you're one of these

elbow draggers who still thinks that Confederation is working, especially if you're in Western Canada, you should just go to one of these. Go to your local Canada Day celebration, whatever it is, and see that you've got politicians

and bureaucrats standing there glad-handed, and you've got a bunch of government-level money being spent or government at some level money being spent on it and not much support. Local businesses aren't behind it. And there's a whole lot.

Keep in mind that that lack of a lineup you see for whatever pancake breakfast it is you're talking about 10, 15, 20 years ago that would have been around the block. If you go back, if you go back a year, I want to say about a year. you remember it was probably a similar person writing an article saying why we should cancel Canada Day. Yeah. Remember that? We're a, we're a sub, what is it, a post, post-national state with no core identity.

You've been told for years, the same people telling you to be patriotic this year. Or the same one who are telling you. Cancel it. Yes. Absolutely. But the thing about it is, is that if, if, you were to go to one of these pancake breakfast and you just get to go right up

to the grill without having to wait in line, don't take it from me. Now, okay. Go see for yourself the fact that nobody gives a shit about that Maple Leaf anymore. Here's, and we're done with it. Here's another, but here's another article. Okay, how much are we willing to do to keep Alberta around?

Okay. So the first one's saying, separatists, don't even show up to Canada. So the next one's, what are we willing to do? For the rest of Canada, big question revolves around how much are we willing to keep Alberta in the Federation? Some new polling by Abacus data may offer some insights into that question. Abacus probed Canadians outside Alberta about their feelings towards prospects of separatism, not surprising, and more than three quarters. 76% preferred that province remain in Canada. And 63% said that was a strong desire.

A majority, 54% supported a pipeline through British Columbia, even if there was a provincial opposition, a slightly smaller, majority 51% said they would go along with reform to the country's equalization system. 49% said they could live with ending the fuel and gas emissions tax. And then I think there was. Abacus asked what Ottawa should do to ward off Alberta separatism. A majority said they were prepared for the price to be high with 25% saying Ottawa should do whatever it takes. Another 26% said they would endorse significant concessions. That's the big thing.

thing in this article. And it's, again, you've got people not here who don't understand it, discussing it, commissioning polls, all of this stuff. They commissioned a poll where they asked if they would be willing to make significant concessions in order to keep Alberta in Canada. Alberta's not asking for concessions. They're not asking for special carveouts. They're not asking for special treatment.

Right now they're asking to leave, but before that, they were asking to just be treated as an equal. That's it. That's all they were asking for. Just can you guys stop being dicks? And yet, the perception of that in the rest of Canada is making concessions. That's what it is. It's just the, when you've gotten special treatment for so long, there's that great Thomas Soul quote that Ken was talking to us about in that chat there a couple weeks ago.

When you're so used to special treatment for so long, fair and equal treatment feels like being disadvantaged. And that's exactly it. You've got everything going on with the Forever Canada group, I think. Is that what I say? Group? Sure. I can throw up the screens if you want to talk through it, too. So there's been some ambiguity. So last week we talked about how people were submitting complaints to elections Alberta about the fact that Forever Canada was acting as a third-party advertiser for the referendum while not actually registering with Alberta elections Alberta, which

is illegal and is, I don't know, what would you call it? It's just, it's illegal election bullshit. The same thing that the right is constantly accused. of and they're blatantly doing it. So one guy has an update to his complaint made on June 5th. And on 23rd, he said that Forever Canada has been registered and Elections Alberta will be taking no further action and this matter is concluded. But here's the thing is the timeline doesn't line up.

Elections Alberta itself has had at different times on their websites. And good job Jason Levine on Ketheen on. catching this, saying that they registered on June 18th as a third party advertiser and then on June 8th as a third party advertiser. But the original, the first complaint registered to Elections Alberta was dated on June 5th. And they kicked off their campaign officially on May 23rd. They literally have a post about it. So May 23rd, they kick off their campaign.

June 5th, a complaint's registered with elections, Alberta. June 18th, they're registered with elections, Alberta. At some point between June 18th and June 22nd, that online registry is backdated to June 8th, which is still two weeks after they officially kicked off. So this is election skullduggery. like unless someone can give me a reasonable reason why none of this makes fucking sense. This is literally skullduggery with with the upcoming referendum and according to elections Alberta's own email that they sent to Ron Voss. No further action will be taken.

They're literally turning a blind eye to this. Yes. Now, do you want to bring up, Chamber of Commerce in Calgary. Yes. So there was a post that says separatists want to think the referendum is a cost-free way to pressure for the things of Alberta wants, but 8 and 10 Calgary chamber members already feel the debates of negative effects and half would be likely to leave if Alberta votes to start the separation process. Yes.

And the interesting thing is that this is being presented as Calgary business writ large. You know, just this, even the CTV headline. Calgary business community is souring on separatism. So first off, the Chamber of Commerce isn't so much a coalition of businesses that everybody in Calgary joins. They don't even publish their numbers. So they release a survey that they commissioned to their members saying that roughly half, of them would consider leaving if Alberta is separated from the rest of Canada.

But it never discloses how actually big that is. And I tried getting Claude to come up with a decent answer, just inferring a couple things. And he figures it's about 3 to 4% of the total businesses in Calgary. That's never disclosed. That's never talked about. Assuming that that's correct, because I don't have a number. assuming that that's correct

what the actual headlines should have been rather than nearly 50% of businesses would consider leaving Calgary if Alberta separated the actual headlines should have been roughly 1.5 to 2% of businesses would consider leaving. But that gets left out.

Did you know that they're actually a registered lobby group? So 48% of members are likely to leave Alberta of it votes to start the separation process. And, ooh, this is interesting. 137 out of 2,500 members voted. That's Ian Parkinson,

chiming in. So 137, this is a survey of 137 businesses in Calgary who have already self-selected to be part of this lobbying group. They're officially registered as an in-house lobbying organization,

with the federal office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada. Senior staff and leadership, including the CEO and VP of policy and external affairs, are listed as lobbyists. These are the same people who said that Calgary needs to get away from the cowboy hats for the greeters and the whole stampede thing. It's funny because here in Lloyd,

the Chamber of Commerce has done lots of great work for the border city, you know, to hear what Calgary's is doing is interesting. to me because here in Lloyd, it's, I think it's a highly respected group of businesses and it's a highly respected organization for the things that's advocated for the city.

Well, I mean, just because they're, look at the flames and the Oilers. They're both hockey teams. One of them's awesome. That's fair. That's fair. Yeah. And one of them is not. But, okay, well, look, the Erdry Chamber

of Commerce, right? Vapalt isn't in Erdry, but it's close enough that we registered with them. So we're members of it. And I think tomorrow the president of that Chamber of Commerce is going to go on Ryan Jesperson, along with Deborah Yedlin, the CEO of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce,

to discuss separation. And I'm going to wait till I hear it, but unless I am completely surprised by it, we're probably withdrawing our membership afterwards because it's not a culture fit. Well, you hate to do too simple of me? math, but Jesperson separation, you're going to assume. And Debrie Edlin.

Yes, you're going to assume where that's going. I'm going to assume where that's going. I hate to assume too many things because, like, right, until it comes out, you actually don't know. Sticking with Calgary, Jeremy Farquist, he caught my attention by swearing in a press conference. And then he swore in another press conference. And I'm like, this is the mayor of Calgary.

All right, Calgarians. You got an interesting one. Regardless, here's one of the things. I was really disappointed to see country thunder throw the city and music fans under the bus today by falsely blaming our noise rules for canceling their concert. Yeah, it was really interesting. His big thing, so for those of you who haven't been following what's happening,

the stampede starts in a couple weeks in Calgary. And the Cowboys tent, which has a giant festival, which is a fancy way of saying back-to-back concerts while everybody gets, you know, shit-faced. Yeah, it's awesome, except for the, except for the devastatingly high financial impact, a single beverage has anywhere around Stampede. But aside from that, there's no downsides.

And so he was saying previously that, well, it was interesting how he worded it. he was talking about the noise and the complaints and he said that people had windows shaking and windows breaking around Stampede. Now, presumably, he didn't specifically say the noise made them break. So if somebody broke a window during Stampede, it got lumped in with that. It's kind of like when somebody fell in during COVID and they just blamed it on COVID. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, another tragic COVID death.

You know, the nine-year-old with brain cancer who got. classified as a COVID death until their family spoke up. Same thing. And so, and apparently there were 225 complaints. Not complainants, 225 complaints about noise during Stampede last year, which it goes on for 10 days.

If you were to complain five times a day, and there were 10 of you who complained five times a day for 10 days, that's more than 250 right there. So there's a whole lot of selective wording and fair. ambiguous application of facts that he can see and we can't. And so then he's saying, well, they're going to crack down and limit the amount of time that the concerts are allowed to go for during weeknights and everything else like that. And it's just the selective wording does so much heavy lifting in everything that he's

been saying lately. And then Country Thunder, which is supposed to be a week before that, has announced that they're pulling out. Now, they said that there wasn't a lot of sufficient emergency access due to construction and that the city put up an emergency water line running right through the middle of their pavilion just a few days before and a few other things. If I had to guess, I would say that having it so close to Stampede probably really hurt their ticket sales and it gave them a convenient use to bail out.

but one of the other things they said was the noise bylaw change. And so then when Farkas pushes back on this, he doesn't do more than a cursory mention of the other things and then goes strictly after the noise and how it's unrelated. And so you've got this guy who I don't really know what the truth is, only he does and presumably a few people in City Hall. But he's been so selective with what he's saying and how he's saying it that I just smell bullshit all over the place.

Switching to BC housing, right? That's been a huge thing, Carney and Eby. Here's Gregor Robertson, BC Minister of Housing and Infrastructure in BC. There are thousands of homes that are empty while thousands of British Colombians are looking for affordable homes. Build Canada homes is going to work with the BC government to fix that by turning empty units into affordable homes. As we build up supply, this is one of the fastest and most efficient ways to get people into homes. Through this partnership, we will acquire units in bulk at a discount to market value at a time when prices and sales are already both low. We could leave these units sitting empty or we could take action that will provide much needed affordable housing to 2,200 families and individuals.

More details on the conversion of units to affordable housing will be available in the coming months. So what he is talking about is literally drowning in economic illiteracy. So I guess we could show this clip here real quick. This is Mark Carney announcing this bailout. Completed condos sitting empty. Metro Vancouver alone around 2,500 finished units are standing bacon with no buyers. With higher interest rates, weaker investment demand developers are stuck. They don't want to sell a loss.

They can't afford to hold those empty units indefinitely. We will convert bacon condos into affordable housing. condos that have been built that are unoccupied that are going to sit there potentially for another couple of years we're going to go use the right financing mechanisms convert those into affordable housing so people can move in and use that so what's happening essentially is that there is a downtown condo developer in vancouver with thousands of vacant units that they are unwilling to sell at market rates. That's why they're not sold.

Because you've got, when you have negotiation, you got that gray area of overlap where it's cheap enough that one side can justify selling it and expensive enough that the, or,

it's expensive enough that one side can justify selling it and cheap enough that the other side can justify buying it. And if there is no overlap between those two, no transaction occurs. And that's literally what's happening,

is you have the market saying whatever random number is the most we would be willing to pay for this particular unit. And the developer saying, we aren't willing to sell at that cheap of a price. And so they sit on sold and they're just empty and they're vacant. What actually has to happen is that that company, in a free market, that company would eventually have to decide whether they want to hold and hope that things get better or sell off some most for all of them to maintain cash flow. When you have stuff,

retail, think about it in retail. You know, when you go into any clothing store and there's some t-shirts on a clearance rack right by the door. I don't need to think, I don't need to go to some store. We do this with the mashup. We had old t-shirts at the curling bond spiel and we sold them off for like dirt cheap

because they were like three years old from our first tour when we did the comedy tour, right? And we're like, well, I mean, if we get five bucks from at this point, great. And if, you know, we give someone away great and, right? We put some in prizes and everything else. Well, that's exactly. It'd be nice if the government would come in and pay us market value. Yeah.

Like that, that would be exactly the same. It's the exact same. And they would say, well, we're just going to give homeless people the shirts because they need clothes. Correct. It's the exact same application of the exact same logic. Just a hell of a lot more money. same demographic. It's just that we aren't friends with Mark Carney.

Switching to the Canada Post. I was hoping, twos, you didn't give me a head by chance, did you? No. The saga that we never thought would end is ending? Here it is. Canada Post signs agreement with workers ending years-long battle. And finally, no more headlines are even needed from twos on this. Just look at the picture.

Yep. There you go. 2-2-2. Was that actually the picture? That's the picture. I missed it. Canada Post signed agreements. I feel like they're gaslighting you.

They know the twos was going to find this, and they're like, you know what? We should do. We should put the 2-2-2 in there. Yep. Canada Post and Post workers have officially signed new collective agreements, ending a two-year-long bargaining process that felt like it was going on for 20 years with the amount of headlines we gave it that included seven weeks of nationwide strikes, The contacts will remain in effect until January 31st, 2029.

So we got to wait three years to get back to talking about this, essentially. Yeah. They're going to keep losing money, by the way. Shooting. So here's a CBC timeline of Montreal's deadly, man, how do you say this? Is it Cote-Nazier shooting? I don't know. Oh, here.

No, no, no. I'll do it You'll do it justice With French Where is it Oh shoot I can't remember which article It's even in

Coet de Jemaze de Beau Okay perfect Perfect 1135 police receive a 911 1 reporting a person with a gun At the Hilton Hotel in Cote de Genoa I'll just keep pronouncing it wrong

For all you lovely listeners The person who made the on one call is a citizen who saw a gun being pointed out of a window in her gunshots. Police officers arrive. Multiple people are shot by 12.30 p.m. Quebec issues as emergency alert warning armed and dangerous suspect instructs Montrealers in the area of shelter in place. It goes on and on and on and on and on. Police officer has been killed.

He's later identified as Muhammad Lameen Bernadouin, Bernadwan, member of the force since 2021. in 2.30 p.m. Quebec domestic security minister Ian Lafarin speaks to reporters confirming the scene as a crime scene and that a crisis management team has been deployed. Later on, Montreal police chief Fadi Dajar holds a news conference and shares what he knows about the event with reporters. In addition, the death of the police officer, Dostry says, a civilian also has been killed, the victim of his later identified as 68-year-old Michelle Mizerahi. I don't know. Forget me, folks. And the suspect was identified as Seth Scott Hatfield, 25 out of Leithbridge, Alberta. Yeah. So a guy from Lethbridge is so mad about the current state of the world that he gets an SKS,

the only gun that the liberals haven't banned yet, puts an illegal magazine in it, and then drives thousands of clubs. kilometers to Montreal, the most pro-gun control city jurisdiction in the entire country, and then shoots up the place. Doesn't go to Edmonton, doesn't go to Calgary, doesn't just stay at home and do something in Lethbridge. He drives all the way to Montreal with an S-KS. and before he does it, he leaks, he sends his manifesto to the news agencies,

who as far as I know, didn't do anything about it. Because here's the thing, like if you get a manifesto from a shooter and you're a news agency, and nothing's happened yet, I feel like the first thing you do is you call 911. on. That should be right off the bat. You get some 150 page crazy layout of why someone is doing what they're about to do. Probably forward it on to law enforcement. No, no, you don't forward it on to law enforcement and have it sitting there inbox. You pick up the phone and you fucking call them and you say, I don't know what this is going to be about. I don't know where it's going to happen. But some guy just fucking sent me this. And then,

some kind of alert goes out, presumably, or whatever else. You know the ones that they're always testing your phone at 4 o'clock in the fucking morning. Yeah. Instead, maybe actually do it and be like, no details yet. We don't know. But maybe everybody should just find a place inconspicuous to hang out for a little bit. And so, yeah. And it's interesting.

You've got like Colt Montreal who is just blatantly dishonest at best. look at how many times we've talked about them and how they're even worse at this than CBC. Montreal shooter was an in-cell terrorist from Alberta who hated women. He was a socially conservative misogynist who felt entitled to women's attention. Socially conservative is interesting. He goes on at length about Marxism and Stalin and Lenin and how correct they were. He quotes Karl Marx at places in this manifesto.

But he's socially conservative, misogynist. When they deliberately only tell you half of what he talks about, it's obfuscation. It's, it's, it's, yeah, and the fact it happened out front of the Pornhub headquarters, or I guess the company that owns Pornhub. Yeah, so here's the Babylon B headline from a few days ago, which if you look to the right-hand side, is still the most trending thing on the Babylon.

or not the B rather. Report. Female cop shoots rabbi outside porn hub office in Canada while hiding from Marxist gunmen who killed immigrant officer named Mohammed. And as dark as this as dark as this whole story is,

that's literally exactly what happened. Is it maybe a little fucking weird that a guy from Lethbridge drives thousands of kilometers to Montreal with one of the last unbanned firearms in the country,

puts an illegal magazine in it, and shoots up a pro-gun control community. And while he sent the manifesto to news agencies, there doesn't appear to be any indication that they did anything about it other than just release it almost immediately after the fact. Does that seem weird to anybody else? Of course.

like does that seem just a little bit little bit much Johnny tightlip says he was not a rabbi anybody else want to comment on that because apparently we've got people saying I assume that that was supposed to say piaop

Pia Psiop it's definitely a pie op but it's just too many things all at once yeah that didn't make it in it Well, I mean, obviously, anyone being shot is no laughing matter. But, you know, like the headline is pretty goofy, right? And so you go, all right.

So what's in the goofy news this week? Let's start here. Sticking with Quebec. Quebec town recognizes trees as living beings with rights. Do you need me to read anymore? No, no, it's great. Living beings with rights. And I love the fact that

Including the right to life To natural growth to integrity And regeneration Yes So they've got the right to life And part of the practical application of that Is that if a tree needs to be cut down It also needs to be replaced

The tree has a right to life So if you kill it, you have to put up a new one But it has a right to life like just imagine just apply this to people let's just things that have rights to life are generally considered humans on this planet okay so if you need to kill a person you also have to he was nickname rabbi but was sorry johnny he said he was nicknamed rabbi but wasn't one seen natasha montreal's reporting so appreciate that johnny um there you go carry on to us all right so if you need to kill a person, you also have to

make a new one. Is that the logic? I mean, you remember that what was that movie? The Rob Zombie, House of a thousand corpses. Didn't see it. Okay. But you know of the name of the movie.

Yes. Okay. Under this logic, if trees are living beings that literally every home that is not made out of brick is, by definition, a house of a thousand corpses.

The Vancouver PD It's not a skill saw. It's a weapon of murder. And then when you're just sanding, like just think about this for a second. When you like cut up, you rough cut some lumber that's killing them.

And then you're going to put it through a joint or in a planer. You're just excessively torturing them. Okay. And then you get it down to the final dimensions and then you sand it. You sand it? it. And then you want to keep it looking nice for a while.

So you just stain it. You're basically just tanning the hide of this former tree after committing multiple levels of torture along the way. Just desecrating the corpse repeatedly. This is the most intellectually vapid thing I think I've ever seen out of Quebec. And that's probably saying a lot. Here's Vancouver. Yeah. So what happens when the power line guys need to trim limbs? so it doesn't cause power outages? Well, apparently they're amputees after that point.

Oh, look at Gimpy over there standing next to the transformer. I should have known Tuesday was going to have way too much fun with this. Okay. Here's Vancouver Police. It says the Vancouver Police Department has made a significant progress in disrupting drug trafficking and street disorder around the commercial Broadway corridor during welfare check issue this week. They also spelled check wrong. It's not welfare check.

It's welfare check. And if you look closely, it's all AI slop. Look at the $100 bill. Look at the $100 bill. Look at the CAD cash. It's a weird hashtag or pound sign rather than a dollar sign, $422.30. It's got red $20 bills. Right next to green $20 bill.

and it looks like all the little bags of stuff they sold, they seized, it's all clumped. And so anyways, they got called out for the AI slop and then since deleted it. But this is what the Vancouver police are doing. So served and protected. You wanted this one, twos? Yeah, yeah, I just want to talk about it for a second.

So go ahead and go through, read it out loud. I'm so tired of lateness being viewed as a moral fan. I've been shame for it my whole life because it's framed as disrespect. And no, it hasn't helped me be more punctual. And if I lost out on a major life opportunity because of it, I don't think I could have ever recovered. So simply put, if you're late all the time, you're an inconsiderate cunt. That's it. That's it.

You just, if you're, you can be running late and you, you're, you can be running late and you, you can let people know, but you're saying that your time is more valuable than theirs. And you're misleading them about things. And don't be an asshole. We can be better than that. The chronic tardiness that this lady's talking about, that's like an Ottawa thing. The Western thing is showing up on time. Study on COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness that CDC director blocked is published

in outside journal. A study on COVID-19 vaccine infectious has finally been published after being blocked from a government health journal. The COVID vaccine was found to be about 55% effective against COVID-19 associated hospitalization and reduced COVID-19 related trips to emergency departments and urgent care clinics by 50% according to study published Tuesday by JAMA Network.

Open. Batacharya, who I think everyone in this audience knows the name, has argued the methodology relies too heavily on assumptions and could produce results that were skewed by factors such as prior infections and how different groups of patients behave. Yeah. Also, it just looked at hospitalization afterwards. It looked at a reduction in short-term hospitalization. It didn't look at any long-term effects. And it's interesting because this Globe and Mail article tries to present itself as being somewhat neutral about it.

And then here's how it ends. Coldorf argued that studies with this design can but shouldn't include people with different diseases. He also questioned why longer term studies weren't used to evaluate COVID-19 vaccines. We were in a pandemic. That's why one person called from the audience. That's how the article ended. So even when trying to present it as being neutral, they still can't help themselves. The other thing is, do you remember what the percentage rate we were told?

the vaccine was effective. Do you remember what percentage they gave us? At the very start? At the very start. 94%? 100% safe and effective. 100% safe and effective. You're right.

Time and again. And even in this thing talking about trying to put it neutrally, but still not being able to pull it off, the data in this study says 55%. Supergirl debuts to 59% of Rotten Tomatoes based on 46 reviews. And to be clear, so Rotten Tomatoes, Rotten Tomatoes sucks. But one of the things it does is it's got the Tomato Meter and it's got the Popcornometer.

And the Tomato Meter looks at whether reviewers say yes or no, they liked it. And the Popcornometer says whether or not people who watched it. like it. And then they've known sometimes in some instances where it's a girl boss woke DIY slop fast to remove the popcornometer so that people can't say whether they like it or not. And now you're left at just looking at the reviewers who have been shown to be captured multiple times. And so even within all that, this thing is rotten. It's 59% of reviewers saying it's good. And so I've heard some wildly pessimistic estimates, including even that it might debut lower than the Flash.

Did you watch the newest Superman? Yes. Yeah, we talked about it on the show. I just watched it like a week ago because it can't, I don't know what, anyways, it just popped up. I'm like, you know what? It took me like four sittings to actually get through it. I don't know, man.

maybe I'm just If you like dogs It's got some redeeming qualities to it But it was You've seen that exact trope With the guy behind the mask Being a clone So many times

Oh Yeah and then And then they've got to fight themselves It's literally how If you ever read the comic The boys That's the big reveal At the end

Yeah so I go supergirl I'm like, I have no interest. Millie Alcock has been going around doing a publicity tour where she's been doing and saying all of the things that would bait people into being upset about it.

And that way they, it's it's laying plausible deniability. Oh, the reason why failed was because of the fan backlash against Millie Alcock. No, it's just that it sucked. Just make a good move. and don't try and run,

don't try and throw out a smoke bomb right before it comes out to disguise the fact that your movie fucking sucked. That's all you need to do. Do you want to show the Rokana video? Yeah, sure. So I thought this was funny because we were just talking about this. We were just talking about this the other day and now we've got this. Once we take power, it's there has to be accountability.

There needs to be accountability for Elon Musk. You know, they're celebrating that he created 4,400 millionaires, but they don't talk about the 4.5 million children and around the world who he possibly sentenced to death by dismantling USA. That's a pretty, pretty bold claim. And by the way, Jennifer Welch, whoever you are, plastic surgery isn't baseball cards.

You don't have to get the entire set. MSNBC reporter. Nobody around here is wearing masks, guy on the street, including the camera. We'll just, we'll just play this. I thought this was funny because I granted there was a lot of stuff going on at the time but someone said hey remember when this funny thing happened and I'd never seen it before

so maybe you guys haven't either I think people felt like the Supreme Court made the decision here in Wisconsin that it was time to open up but you can see here just around nobody's wearing them nobody's there you go including the camera so there's the reporter wearing a mask

talking about how crazy it is that nobody here is wearing a mask. And the guy he points to, as a perfect example, says your cameraman's not wearing a mask either. Englishman faces two years in prison for cleaning polluted river without permit. He's asked the government to take action for five years. They've done nothing.

And now he faces two years in prison for cleaning up the river. This is, I feel like you can make a fun game show of, is it Canada? or is it England? We could do that.

We could definitely do that. Why give that idea away? We could do that. Okay, okay. Match up and we didn't. Pretend we didn't say... Backspace, release that from your... Pretend we didn't say what country this was in.

Man faces two years in prison for cleaning polluted river without permit. He's asked the government to take action for five years. Is that Canada or the UK? Yep. I mean, in Canada, remember, in the day that guy put that set of stairs in the park because people were slipping on the hill and then and then the city of Toronto took it down and spent 60,000 he built like a $1,200 set of stairs or something like that and the city took it down and built a $60,000 set of stairs to

replace it. This is kind of the same thing. Oh, the government isn't doing anything. fair enough. I have personal agency myself. I will go ahead and do something about this. Well, you can't do that. You're going to jail.

We got to make sure we do that next week, okay? But that is a commitment to both of us. Is it England or is it Ottawa or something? Whose government is it anyway? Where the rules are made up and the point and the deficits don't matter. That's how we're going to start it out. That's going to be a great segment. I look forward.

Whose government is it anyway? Oh, man. Okay. Yeah, whose government is it anyway? That is it. Oh, my goodness. Brilliant. Baby giraffes who vanished from troubled roadside zoo last year finally found safe.

I don't know. A whole bunch of people have been charged with. Yeah, it was a draft heist. Yeah, draft heist. Yeah. And so they said, well, we want to steal a giraffe. And I don't think we talked about this. I feel like I would have remembered a giraffe heist.

we've never talked about a giraffe heist. Okay. So I like the thought process of I always wanted to get a giraffe. We should steal them. Okay. Slight problem though. They're fucking huge. Okay.

So if we want to have a huge giraffe, what if we just stole a little one and then fed it? Yeah. Just imagine the trouble you would have to go to to conceal this, right? Because you couldn't just put it in the backyard. because oh, oh, you're on the lookout for a couple of giraffes. And then there's this like 17 foot tall head right beside your deck. People be like, I think I know where it went.

So you'd have to be like, you'd have to just build a giant fence. I think neighbors be looking over. Why did Sean put up a 20 foot tall fence? Man, his neighbors must be dicks. The 50,000 Toyota. How do you even say this? Haichi? Where the toilet has been introduced.

Let's take a look, shall we? Yeah. So it's got a bunch of random music. I don't know if it's copyrighted or not. Oh, look, an umbrella holder. And so anyway, I haven't seen the suburban yet, but this is exactly what I'm picturing. Somebody had said to,

there's no way that's 50 grand. Like doesn't that vehicle look like it's going to be $100,000 or more? Or probably a lot more. Unless you get a bunch of Uyghur slaves to build it, in which case you're, because the most three expensive things in manufacturing are power, um, raw materials and labor. Okay.

China's on coal. We're your slaves. And the Uyghur slaves can get the materials out of the ground. So boom. Now all you got to do is just give an executive a bonus and jail dissidents. Why the R word is the R slur. This is from special olympics.org. And it's just, it's talking about how mean it is to say retarded.

Because they think that they think it's still talking about people who are special needs. And, you know, they talked about in 2010, Barack Obama. signed Rosa's law, which changed mental retardation to intellectual disability and federal law inspired by 9-year-old Rosa Marcellino. The law was a key component in the groundswell of advocacy efforts promoting inclusive people-first language for people with intellectual disabilities. Here's the thing is retard has moved completely past that. There's so many words. There's so many words that just evolve over the years and mean something completely different.

Like, if I say that I'm mad, what do you assume? What? Okay, okay, how about this? The Mad Hatter. Remember, Alice in Wonderland? Okay. Mad Hatter. The guy wasn't angry.

He was crazy because that's what Mad meant back then. And now it just means that you've had enough fucking bullshit and you're going to buy a Kumatsu and put metal plates on it. Okay? Language evolves. language evolves. Faggot used to mean a bundle of twigs. It did.

Or a bundle of firewood. Okay. And retard has nothing to do with people who are special needs. And I can't even think of the last time I heard somebody describing it in that context. And so this anachronous argument. Somebody who's probably over 70 year old still says it that way. Probably. Probably.

Okay. But when I say something's retarded, I don't mean it has an extra chromosome. I mean that it's just the stupidest possible iteration of whatever it is that I'm discussing. Second woman plummets to her death in Brazil. Last week, you remember, we showed you the video of the lady being chucked off

with no bungee cord. And twos would say, attractive woman vacation in Brazil who plummised to her death of the week. Yeah. Two for two, Brazil. No. Do you want to show the picture?

I just assume you do. I assume you have everybody curious now. I don't know. So it looks pretty good for 59. Has an age to day since that picture. Non-citizen criminal frequent flyer pleads guilty to another breach. Oh, no, that's the one you had before. Bees.

Yeah, I told you. Bees, bees, bees. Texas neighborhood was forced to go on lockdown after an 18-wheeler, flipped over, releasing 24 million honey bees. The truck was carrying more than 400 hives with 60,000 plus bees in each hive when the truck driver lost control and flipped into a ditch. Why do I bother with the headlines, Sean, if you don't even read them? Semi-truck full of bees getting in an accident and unleashing them on local population of the week. It's been a couple years since we've covered this almost identical story.

But yes, a semi-truck full of bees. B's tipped over and mayhem ensued. Canada, U.S. nowhere near deal as Coosma deadline approaches. Yeah, we're a little more than a week before the July 1st deadline to either

renew or review the Canada-U.S. Mexico agreement, U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete. Hoagstra says officials are nowhere near the finish line and I don't know. What do you want me to say? Well, I don't know. I mean, I feel like maybe we just need to have our elbows further up. Some of you probably don't have your elbows up right now.

This is one of those things that is surprising literally no one who follows this stuff. And this is this is exactly what we were expecting to happen from the moment that Mark Carney was presented as somebody who could negotiate well and deal with Trump. Well, and if you recall, it was Doug Ford's anti-terror fad. There's that. The voice of former Republican U.S. President Ronald Reagan that caught a whole ton of flack. Yeah. But Alberta should definitely stay at Canada so that they can maintain the trade relationships that Canada has. J.P. Morgan.

Show the video of the woman who emptied Nick's trash can on the street, then stole it, and is fired by J.P. Morgan Chase, she was a DEI. Read the damn headline. Oh, my goodness. J.B. Morgan executive, whose obsession, it's like we've never done this before. It's been a while with large cans leads through their eventual termination, thereby making the company an international laughing stock of the week. Exactly.

So here is this lady. I don't have the, I don't know if the video is on the article. I think you scroll down it is. But here's her dumping out. She's dressed up in all next stuff. stuff and she's dumping out a full trash can so that she can take it with her. And that lady is voluptuous. Yeah.

And oh, oh, yeah, here it is. It turns out, it turns out that she is a DEI executive at JPM Morgan and Chase. Now look at this picture of her from this. Well, she was promoted to this picture here. And then look at this. This is like the most catfishy fucking photo I've ever seen in my life. Sticking with sports, let's go to the World Cup of Soccer. You got three different videos.

You don't have to show the first one or the full on one. Before we get to that, I'll get to that. I've got this. Sean, you're being recognized in Toronto. I am proclaiming June 6th. 2016, 2026 as Jirkfest Day in Toronto. Over the years, I have the pleasure of attending Jirkfest myself. So, you know, I know sometimes you feel like you're not recognized on the world stage.

But Toronto's recognizing Jerk Fest. Yeah, Toronto is recognizing. They commemorated it. And so I just. Yeah, okay. Just take it in. Enjoy. Just rest on your laurels for a moment.

Sean, you matter and you make a difference and people care. World Cup of Soccer. First, let's do the Europeans Discovering America. You don't need to show the entire video, but you might as well bring out a little bit of it. Well, I could. I don't know what you're doing right now. Well, so it gets a little bit funky if I have too many. If you have 50 tabs open?

Yeah. which 50 is like generally the first half of the show. So before that, though, we have drivers. We do have drivers this week? Yeah. You have 10 minutes, by the way. You have 10 minutes less than that. Just past Costco near Flammon, Highway 16 and 71st Street.

So that would have been Saskatoon. Tanker truck hauling Kostic took out traffic late and sheared the bolts right off the cement base. blissfully unaware. Here he is driving down the road, dragging the streetlight with him. I almost spit my water out all. It's literally tearing up the asphalt behind him.

He's ripped open the sidewalls of the tanker, or the outer wall of the tanker. Luckily, there's more than one layer. And there you can see it tearing up the asphalt. Oh, boy. So I don't know. Like, do we, do we have a solution for this? Maybe, maybe we could, in theory, you know, either solve the driving problems or possibly just put big fucking extension cords on the light poles. Okay.

Now, here's, I put this in drivers so that you didn't see it. This is the funniest thing. Don't read the caption. This is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. I've wondered this. If twos were to lie awake wondering about things, he would be wondering what do people with Tourette's do in other languages? And this, this is it.

Here in the patient, patient, patient. You must you always in the patient's-ungar, uh, little, uh, um, so when I'm, generally,

when I'm concentrated, when I'm, when I'm concentrated, there are, there are, and there's then so concentrated, and whether on the

If you're wondering a sight in the Toos head, that is it right there, right? Somewhere there's people that are working out right now or driving, and they're doing exactly what Toos is doing. He can't control himself. Am I sitting here going, that's the funniest thing you've seen? Tews is like shook up right now. Look at his face. He's crying.

What is happening right now? That isn't the first time I've seen it. That's the funniest thing you've seen. Just about. MASH is 214. An insight into twos' brain. Microwaves and a German Tourette's lady. You just do the rest of the show without me.

Are you going to show the World Cup of soccer videos? Or no. All right. I'll switch the sports deck. right now. Let's start with the Elks president, says CFL club still recovering from the disaster of name changing. No, stop.

You just control yourself. President Chris Morris says, follow up from the club's 2021 name change remains one of the biggest obstacles in rebuilding sport among fans. It was a disaster in so many ways. Along with COVID-19, and a couple other things, it went from 20,000 season ticket sales to 7,000. That is a giant,

giant fumping. And then you have the Oreo Oilers. Okay, no, no, I want to talk about that for a minute. Okay, I get the fact that you have 30 seconds and I'm going to use 80 of them. Okay. Eskimo does not mean eater of raw fish. It means lacer of snow shoes. So everybody who's saying that that's offensive, first off, they don't have any idea what they're fucking talking about.

You can literally just Google this. Google it if you don't believe me. It means laser of snow shoes. It does not mean eater of raw fish. And secondly, have you ever been to Japan? If not, have you ever eaten sushi? How is that offensive? There's literally this entire, how many sushi restaurants live within 50 miles of you?

Eaters of raw fish is, it's ubiquitous. It's normal. Why would you even say that it's offensive? This is a bunch of, the executives at the Edmonton Eskimos decided to change the name based on incorrect assumptions about something that wasn't even offensive to begin with in order to virtue signal and they're paying the price for it. Correct. That's it.

You have the Oilers head coach now named Mike Babcock. Someone in Emmington had enough time in his or her lifetime to point out that the Oilers are only coaches with Fallick-Rinder inferences in their name. you got Ken Hitchcock, Dave Tippett, Jay Woodcroft, Chris Knoblock, and now Mike Babcock. Okay. Now, that person who did this is obviously a fan of the mashup and smarter than us at the same time. Because when Woodcroft replaced Tippett, I pointed this exact thing out. But I didn't think to put the whole timeline together.

And well done. Well done. Yeah, you got to chuckle at that. uh jim sinclair chiming in hi jim hey jim how's bowing your lawn going okay all right world cup world cup all right you got three videos here you don't have to show the full one here but fire away okay well yeah here's what look at the amount of seats in this place you guys look at a high school stadium do they actually fill these stadiums like do people actually come for the games that actually fill these out because that's honestly mental like that is crazy there was a ton of seats in here if this was

shit everywhere. Guys, you know, what I'm going to do? Right now, if we had Chipotle and trailer, I swear to God, I'll do that every single day. Mm-hmm. It is so good. Guys, Guzman needs to take notes. Like, mad neck needs to take notes. Like, what is in this crap?

So what's been happening all over is that, uh, you've got all of these people who've never been to North America before looking at all these different places in the states and just being blown away by it. You may have heard about Scotland and how they drank Boston. Fear is missing from a tap. We've never seen anything like it. There's a decent chance Scotland had something to do with it. They like a lager or a light lager.

And we've got two really good ones for them. Sam Adams downtown ran out of their signature Boston Lager over the weekend and needed an emergency delivery to keep up with World Cup fans. And they're not the only ones running dry. The White Bull Tavern, there was no beer. The Scots fans just drunk the place dry. all the head was like, but light. Pretty much everything.

You and I have tenants being number one. White Bull Tavern may have run out of Scotland's iconic tenants beer, but that didn't stop the party. So this has been going on, and you've seen all of these videos, if you've been on Twitter or probably on Facebook or Instagram lately, of all these people going to the states for the first time and just being blown away by things like Buckees and Costco's

and the hospitality and the friendliness and the unlimited refills and how great all of gardens bread baskets are and the sweet tea and just reveling in how wonderful it is. And then you've got our friend. Scottish people have drank

all the beer in Boston. There's none left. They went over about four days ago for the World Cup. I'm sorry, we should have warned you about the Scottish. Even the Irish are afraid of them. They're mad fucking cuns. Now, on the bright side, they mainly drink tenants lager. So if all

else fails, you can just piss in a glass and they shouldn't notice much of a difference. Now, America, please make sure they have something to drink. If the Scottish don't have something to drink, they may become peaceful. And that's when they'll start talking to you. That's a lifetime commitment. Be very careful. Now I would just like to take a second to speak directly to the Scottish paper as an Irish man. Listen, Scotland is my second favourite country, honour. It's kind of like if you mixed Ireland with Texas and it was going through a particularly litigious divorce and I love that energy

but listen, the Irish people have been wanting to say this for a while. Scotland, we just feel like you're going a bit too far with the drinking. We all like to have a good time. Go out in the town, forget four days of your life, lose a sock, bring home

a fully grown tree wearing a traffic cone for a hat and eat 17 portions of chicken gujohns. It's good, clean fun. But we just feel you could do something else for 15 or 10 minutes, a little hobby for yourself, have a bit of kimchi to support a healthy microbiome in the gut. Just look after yourself, Scotland. Without you, we're going to have to start hanging around with the fucking Germans.

And I don't have it in me to try any more types of sausage. Follow me. I'm delicious. Okay. So just a wonderful, happy story. Everybody all over the world. coming to America for the first time and enjoying it. And then the thing about it is,

is that some of them have also been coming to Canada. This is how Lake Louis, India, sorry, I'm in Canada looks like. Okay. There's Lake Louise. And now that the snow caps melted, there's nothing white there at all. Is what an East Indian guy is posting about.

And then you've got this guy coming in from Ecuador to see what it's like in Toronto for the World Cup. This guy is from Ecuador. From Ecuador. This is one of the dirtiest. It doesn't even feel like it's a first world country. Look, look. You don't see this in Ecuador. Look.

Do you see this in Ecuador? Look, look, look. This is downtown. This is like the flag. ship young in dandas this is the flagship of toronto and there's literally garbage crackheads crazy people people talking to themselves fetti heads bro this is a third world country like this i feel like i'm in bro coming from quito quito is way more civilized this is a fucking mess.

What is going on? What is going on, guys? One side of the border, people are coming and reveling in how wonderful and welcoming things are. And the other side, people are looking around, blinking slowly and saying

what in the absolute fuck? And that's just the state of Canada right now. As much as everybody wants to just pound their chest and say, hey, we're way better than the rest of, we're way better than

the states and we've got it going on and everybody else sucks. No, no. It's denial. You're lying to yourself because Canada has lost its way. Now, weather report. This is

a giant penis. Tuesday, I apologize. I got to run. So finish. Folks, match up 214. Tuesday is going to end up first. Well, yeah, apparently right now we've got two giant dicks on the first. screen. So most of the south is being covered in a giant

cock and balls. So yeah. That Mason Dixon line sure really is prominent. Washington Post in his battle to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, President Trump has tried draining, painting, hydrogen peroxide and more. But he has seemingly overlooked two of the most impact important factors pollution and climate change yes so for those of you who don't know uh trump is has commissioned uh a revitalization of the reflecting pool which is that big kind of pool from the start of captain america winter soldier if i'm not mistaken and it's getting algae

in it because it's standing water in the fucking summer of course it is and uh also apparently climate change. And there are literally protests outside from people who want to protect the algae. People are saying, don't kill the algae at the reflecting pool. If the zombies ever take over, people are going to be protesting for zombie rights. That's it. It's just these people are insane and I wish they'd have gotten more vaccinations. Now, happy news. Justice Center announces that Crown has withdrawn the ticket issued to Jeff Evley under Nova Scotia is now invalidated 2025 Woods Band.

So congratulations to Jeff. Kier Starrmer has resigned in England whose government is it anyway. Here's a big one. Keith Wilson has officially entered. He's got an organization that's a third party advertiser. This is this is kind of that point in the movie where the big guy shows up and somebody says, oh, you guys are fucked. That's basically this.

So Keith Wilson, glad you can make it. Good to see you. Now, the other thing is when we talked about the Sundry Rodeo a couple weeks ago and last week about how there was, they said that the Alberta, they wouldn't allow the Alberta float and then with the backlash over that the whole parade got cancelled and then separatists had their own parade

and according to this over 500 vehicles showed up in sundry and just drove around honking waving all the Alberta flags 500 vehicles showed up because the parade said oh you can't have one float

And they said, okay, fine, fair enough. You say we won't have a float? Correct. Now, for those of you looking for any great ideas for upcoming Canada Day festivities, I'm just throwing this out there. If there's any sort of a pro-Alberta fireworks show, what if you did it with all blue fireworks?

Wouldn't that say something? I don't know if you can pick by color, but all blue fireworks. I would love to see it. And then the final bit of happy news. Oh, sorry, this is, so Keith Wilson had announced that he was entering with a press conference.

And city news here, about 35 people rallied today at a Calgary Hotel Ballroom to formally launch a campaign to convince Albertans in an upcoming referendum that is time to quit Canada. It wasn't a rally that 35 people showed up to. It was a press conference that 35 people were at.

You fucking schmucks. So that's what we have for the news this week. Articulate Ventures. IBC, Vance Crow, interest-based communication. I've said it before. I'll say it again. Probably one of the most effective communicators I have ever spoken to. See him live, listen to his podcast.

and you'll know exactly why this is a good idea. But if you can make it down to St. Louis, July 6th is the next one. And there's also August 31st to September 2nd, October 12th to 14th. It limits to a class size of 12 people at the most. So it's going to be intimate and close. now Ben Bankus Are You Mad

And also he's got a lot of logistics to figure out with the move coming up. So thanks everybody for tuning in. And that's it. I think he didn't, he should have told me about the fucking, now that we're here i should be able to hit a button which would um media assets overlay intro outro loop where's the audio all i got to do is get sean to show me this one time and it'll be fine you know we're going to stay here till i figure it out well whatever i guess i'm going to walk off.
