So that's going to be fun. It's the last mashup that I'm in the studio for. So take that for better or for worse. I don't know. We're going to find out from here on out, folks. Folks, mashups on this end are going to be happening from different locations all over the place. So we'll see how that goes. I imagine it's going to be slightly problematic at times.

Yeah, I assume so. That's what I'm assuming. So we'll see. We'll see. Are you guys, I assume you're just getting like Starlink or something? We got Starlink. Okay. All right.

So we'll see. We'll see. that goes. Now, for those people wondering where we're heading, I posted roughly the first six months, roughly where we're going to be rough dates so that people can go see. It's all on substack. Go take a look and hit me up. I've been having people text me on, you know, hey, you're relatively close. So Sunday's going to be fun. We're hopefully going to interview a 95-year-old canvasser, followed by a bison farm right after, followed by the causes. So that should be an interesting first day. Nice. Yeah. Yeah.

And then not far after that, I'll be running into this guy named twos. And that should be interesting. Don't, you know. What weekend is that going to be? Some days, some days I feel like he's got some things to say. What's what weekend? Roughly, well, I remember you told me back in the day and I can't remember. This coming week.

I wrote it down, though. Okay. This coming week. Okay. All right. Cool. When is that happening? Uh, twos, I leave literally in two days.

Yeah, but. you not being at home is not the same as you not being in my neck of the woods. There are lots of other places on the planet. You think we talk once a week, hey folks? Anyways, it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Let's get on to Coot six and a half this week, okay? Judge gives repeat LCBO thief a harsher sentence because he doubts CPSA will deport him.

All right. Well, an Ontario judge imposed 12 months on a repeat LCBO thief saying he has no confidence. confidence the CBSA will ever deport him, ultimately, quoted, ultimately have no confidence to the Canadian Border Servants Agency will actually deport Manjit Singh, Wendell said in June 23rd decision. Put bluntly, a deportation order has been placed for nearly four years. During that time, he has been

in custody on serious criminal charges under which CBSA could have readily located and removed him, yet no action has been taken. Sean, you can't just say the name louder and think that that's somehow an accent. Like, that's what, like, basic white- That's like, what's your name? Brittany!

I'm trying to. Okay? You're not getting me today. I'm happy. I'm happy, folks, happy Friday. Okay. Tews can, chitter-chatter. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

You don't get the right accent. Challenge. Challenge. Challenge. Challenge? Uh-huh. Serious question, twos, from Kevin. Yeah.

Next week will Sean be considered a temporary foreign worker? At the mashup, Sean has always been considered temporary. You want to show you? Good morning, Lisa. Good morning. Good morning, all. Okay. You want to show some videos?

Whose government is it anyway? So we're going to play a game here. where we're going to show you guys some stuff and you've got to decide whether it's crazy because it's Canada or England. All right, here we go. Okay. Oh, there's an altercation.

Just pretend you're not listening to the accents. Dude's trying to extricate himself from the situation. Okay, so before you go too far. Oh, he gets jumped, and we happen to pause it right at the point where it was pointed at an attractive ladies behind. I kind of want to just leave it here for a minute. At this point, you have to decide for yourself. Is this Canada or the UK?

Dudes, if you look past the attractive ladies behind, which is difficult to do, you can see dudes still in midair. Oh, and he's getting punched in the back ahead. And the cops come up and slam the guy who got attacked again. against the wall. Don't identify themselves. Don't say, oh,

we're the police. We're the bobbies. Whose government is this? And then he pushes back, because he's been attacked all of a sudden from all over the place. And as soon as he tries to get up, he gets slammed against the wall.

And... He wants... He's wrong. Put your hands behind you back. He ends up getting arrested. The cops don't even pursue the other person. And the Birmingham police, the incident has been reviewed and we have no concerns over the officer's actions

and are satisfied that they were reasonable and proportionate in the circumstances. We would ask that the footage is not further shared to allow the legal process to take its course. Once again, the English police are proving themselves to be absolutely fucking insane. Teen rapist was filmed attack on girls 14 and 15 Find 26 pounds each While an elderly couple faced a thousand pound bill After one neighbor complained about them planting flowers and shrubs In scrubland next to their home

Now the pounds give it away but that was England One of these countries ordered to remove air conditioning from homes in 40 degrees sea heat under net zero crackdown because there's no planet B and it's 40 degrees Celsius and everybody needs to get rid of their air conditioning. Yeah, that's Great Britain. Again, funny story, the European Commission's headquarters

was forced to shut down its air conditioning system on Friday due to the heat wave. They said, due to extreme weather conditions for shutdown will happen from floors 1 through 7 for the rest of the day. The 13-story building is home to commission President Ursula von der Leyen and her 26 commissioners of commissioners of about 3,000 staff.

She works on the 13th floor. Most of her commissioners are housed on floors eight or above. It's so hot that we have to turn down everybody else's air conditioning. Saving the planet one air conditioner at a time, twos. Yes, but not yours. Just everybody else's. Socialism for me, but not socialism for the, but not for me. it's kind of reassuring.

It's a little bit, I don't know, not quite cathartic, but somewhere in the vague neighborhood of it to just know that as incredibly stupid as the people in charge of Canada can be at times, there's also some incredibly stupid people making incredibly bad decisions in other parts of the world. Yeah.

Yeah. Now, this was going to be the part where we were going to get into where our guest is, but we could maybe skip ahead, just a tancy bit. Well, we're doing good. We got five minutes before she arrives. Where do you want to go to? Do you want to go to Carney admits $200 billion climate planet bust?

Yeah, yeah, let's talk about that for a second. So, Prime Minister Mark Carney formally abandoned on Tuesday the day before Canada, a commitment to Justin Trudeau's climate targets he promised to achieve in the House of Commons as a late, as November 17, 2025. Yeah, this is completely unexpected when he literally was tweeting three years ago. The net zero revolution is becoming a driver of country competitiveness, job creation,

and growth. In the future, great powers will be green powers and Canada can be a great power. Thanks to all who joined the fall net zero leadership summit to discuss. how we seize this opportunity. Well, fast forward on Tuesday in a 17-minute video post on his YouTube channel titled Forward Guidance Canada's Energy Future. He said, The climate plan we inherited from the previous government was well-intentioned

and well-suited for the times in which it was designed. But as times have changed, we must change our plan to get there. We can't afford to restrain the growth for an important part of our energy mix, oil and gas to meet a short-term goal. Well, here's the thing is it's not a short-term goal. There is no planet B. There's no going back. You can't, you, there's calling it a short-term goal when you're at the same time talking

about how this is what it's going to be like decades down the road and these future great powers that are going to be green powers. That's not a short-term goal. That's saying that the world is going to fundamentally change. And meanwhile, schlubs like us have been saying the whole time that it has not fucking changed. We're still in this reality. This is what we need to do. And it's stupid to have countries of the world getting their oils from places that aren't us.

But they don't listen to schlubs like us. They don't. They don't. They don't tune into the mashup. And you can tell. You can absolutely tell that Mark Carney does not watch the mashup. Oh, I drove by him the other day. Drove by who?

Mark Carney. What? I said I drove by him the other day. Yeah, and my what should have been Explain More Tours. Oh, oh, why didn't you say so? So I was driving down the road and going the other way, there was like a dozen black SUVs flanked by a dozen cop cars all with their lights flashing.

And I said to myself, The only douchebag who's pretentious enough to need that kind of a parade is Mark Carney, and I bet you that bastard son of a bitch isn't even throwing out candy. Man convicted of murdering wife days after he arrived in Canada. Anyways, a man has been convicted of second-degree murder for fatally stabbing his wife in Abbotsford, just days after he arrived in Canada. Two is going to make fun of my accent, but Jack Brit Singh, All right, was charged in the death of a 41-year-old,

Oh, Wender, Kerr, his wife of more than 20 years who was found suffering from multiple stab wounds in her basement. While Singh did not dispute causing the fatal stab wounds, he argued that he should only be convicted of a lesser charge of manslaughter, telling the court he killed Kerr in the heat of passion caused by a sudden provocation. Singh claimed that stabbing stem from an argument turned physical while she was swinging a knife at him first. He told the court he was trying to disarm her

When he accidentally poked her with the knife in her stomach And obstops he found she died of significant blood loss For seven stab wounds in her neck and chest Huh, go figure Doesn't mention anything about the stomach I wonder if they even bothered to try And pull any of her prints off of that knife I mean at the end of the day

Just deport them just deport them just send him home I mean just send him home extortion task force lays extortion and murder-related charges linked to four brothers

at a part of an ongoing investigation into organized crime group as known as four brothers the extortion task force has changed a charge of mail in connection with two violent incidents in Brampton following assistance

and arrest by the Emmington Police Service that 22 year old was man this is a new one. Saffel Deep? Saffle Deep? Anyway, sing. Another sing. You make fun of the accent. You don't. Saffled deep, sing. See? And he's going to laugh. He's going to roll his eyes. Would you like to try, Tews? Come on, Tews. Let's hear it. Me, me, me, me, me. Unique New York. Unique New York. Saffel Deep, sing. There you go. That's what we're all here for. Tew's impersonations.

Anyways, they helped. Like we always say, it's got to be culturally correct. If we do it, if we do it for French, then we should be doing it for all cultures. Anyways, Emmington Police Force helping out the Peel Regional Police. Yeah. They made arrangements for his return to Ontario. They should probably just send him packing. They did send him packing.

They sent it back to a third world province. Before we get to just how much trouble is Canada's economy and I see our guest has arrived. So why don't we bring in Miss Chris Sims? How are you doing, ma'am? Super grumpy. How are you guys? You know what? I'm a pretty darn good mood.

I'm really happy to see you. Yeah. Happy to see you guys too. You've made my day. Did you guys see that announcement last night with Carney and Smith? Oh, Chris, please, please walk us through this. distill this. I thought this was great news. Sure. Yeah. You know why? Because you didn't know that it had a $44 billion taxpayer price tag on it. That's why. Maybe why. I don't want to make a

substance for you, Sean. How did you know that? Because I looked it up in the Alberta government's proposal document. So to your to your side of things here, too, they buried this because during the announcement if people were nerds at 6.46 p.m. last night and we're watching, hey, Zane Southgate, thanks for watching the show. If they were watching the announcement last night and then they had questions from the media and some guy, I'm paraphrasing, basically asked, Premier Smith, how much money is this going to be taking out of taxpayers' pockets? And she answered, oh, that's still to be negotiated. No, it's right in the document. If you go to the government website, so folks, search Alberta Pipeline Proposal Submission, PDF, click search.

You will find, don't go for the plain language one. Don't read that one. Read the full 85 page one. Scroll down and it's got the financial implications. And it has a range of between around 38 billion up to about 44 billion. Is that combined federal and provincial? Yes. What gets me going, though, is that they've managed so far to have this narrative, oh, it's a public-private partnership. The private company is on the hook for 10% of this. 10. That's like nothing in a private-public partnership. That is like just lipstick on this thing. So, yeah, buckle up. It's going to be really expensive.

Okay, well, this is good because this is news to me. Always blowing my mind. Well done, you clever lady. I'm sending it to Sean right now because I actually screenshot it from this stupid proposal. Because what I wanted to point out was what got my hackles raised. And this is what got my hackles raised. And this was how every single question was answered. Let's work together and build this pipeline.

The audio, can you guys hear that? that okay? Not really. It's quiet. Try cranking her up. Sean, I just sent you the screenshot so you know I'm not making stuff up from the prank. But the first question was how much money did you have to pay Pembina for them to do this? And roughly speaking. And Daniel Smith gave about a two minute long answer.

And then Mark Carney jumped in for like a minute. And that's interesting when you're asking. for a dollar amount and it takes two people combined roughly three minutes to answer the question. How many Paul additions is it takes to change a light bulb? And no numbers, no numbers were actually brought up in the answer. Weird. Because there's lots of numbers in this proposal document. Yeah.

Yeah. When was that document released? Late last night. So I was scouring their news release page on the government website. website. And then I'm like, this is so frustrating. And so, uh, I shut her down. And then there you go. Estimated project costs 35.2 billion to 43.7 billion by quarter four in 2020. Yep. So. We don't deserve you, Chris. We don't deserve you. So I was just like, you guys are hiding this. And I would too. If I would too, if I

we're trying to polish this mess. But if you just, if you Google search it folks, it looks like a really boring government website. It's basically like a whole, it's like a grayed out background with a bunch of hyperlinks on it. Purposely there to put you to sleep. Exactly. And then you boot this thing up and it's about 85 pages long.

Just do control F billion. And I think it's like the 16th version of the billion right there on that chart. And I got to say, so to be clear, you know, before I get all these emails and I have been getting a few because I've been super grumpy about this this week. But why don't you like pipelines?

Guys, like, I wear an oil sand strong hoodie like in public, like on camera. Like, I'm pro pipeline. Duh. But what I'm anti is the government's standing in the way and then the government spending billions of taxpayers money

to get itself out of the way of itself. This is, this is, This is stupid. We shouldn't be doing this. This is literally, I use this analogy every once in a while, is that there's a small hole in the boat, and then they cut a larger hole in the boat somewhere else and use it to patch over the small hole.

And then they cut an even larger hole and just keep patching. And that's exactly it. Like, it's, you're going to have a whole bunch of people who are intentionally misunderstanding what you're saying and what we're going to be saying, saying, well, you know, you finally got your pocket. pipeline, aren't you happy? No, no, no, no, no. What we wanted, we didn't want the pipeline. The pipeline was the manifestation of the issue we had at the route, which was a government that has

been so aggressively uncompetitive and so bureaucratically boondoggled that nothing can get done in this country. And the end result of that is that no pipelines happen unless they do them. We want that to go away. Yeah. We want to be cured. We don't want you to eliminate the symptoms. Yeah. We don't want pipelines being nationalized

being the norm now. Like who wants to be Venezuela? Like, I don't think so. This isn't working. It reminds me of, remember that Simpsons episode where Homer gets stuck in the tar pit and his feet are in there? And he's like, oh, fiddle D.

I'm going to pull my feet up with my hands. And now I'm going to pull my hands up with my face. That's what we're doing right now. It's so dumb. This is so much money. Like, $44 billion with a B, folks at home, that's $1,000 million is a billion.

I just did the quick math. That could buy outright, like show up to the bank with cash, folks. That could buy you more than 87,000 homes in Alberta for what we're spending on this. What's the median income in Alberta right now? It's around each person. It's actually around 72,000 per person. So we've got a higher median income than the average bear. And how much was it, $45 billion?

Yeah, 44. 44. Let's listen to overstate things. That's a lot of zeros. We're doing a little bit of math on the mashup this morning. Nine zeros, folks. Now, let's say the average person works 35 years. That is every dollar that you will ever make in your career for almost 2,000 people.

Thank you. That's gross. That's like your entire life's output. Everything you will ever do and ever accomplish for almost 2,000 people. For a pipeline that in a sane world would be built by a private company with private money. Zero taxpayer dollars. You've got an MOU. and you've got all this back and forth,

endless announcements, and then Mark Carney flying down the highway looking like one of the parades, coming into some random warehouse to do this announcement with all of these ministers and the lady who is in charge of the Bureau of Red Tape for projects in Calgary, all of that pageantry

is just signaling that the existing system doesn't work. None of that would happen. None of that would happen if so something, I don't know, I want to handpick some random example of an industry the government doesn't muck around with. And I'm drawing a blank. But let's say, let's say, no, not a grocery store, but let's say a grocery store wasn't getting mangled with and they decided to open up a new grocery store. this is the equivalent of Mark Carney showing up and doing the ribbon the announcement of it. Yes. Instead of just being like, oh, yeah, we just built a new grocery store.

You should come by and get some eggs. Yeah. Yeah. So this is the epitome of just ad government. And for folks who are wondering, like, you know, where are these numbers coming from? Why are people upset? Okay, we just gave you the numbers. You can go find it yourself.

Please, in fact, go find that dollar figure and share it with your. friends because they were being purposefully vague with numbers last night while they were busy doing kissy face and handing over their proposal to the principal's office because keep in mind like the pipeline not here yet this is a proposal into the what is it major projects office and now they're going to seriously consider it I will say um that following the TMX route kind of sounds like it makes sense because they've already had all those fights all along the TMX route. But it's so funny that they've invoked

Trans Mountain. Trans Mountain should have been the parable that everybody learned from here. Because Trans Mountain used to be known as Kinder Morgan. Kinder Morgan, private company. It owned that pipeline that goes from just outside of Edmonton to

Burnaby, okay, in British Columbia. It said, hey, government, we're going to twin our own property using our own company money, okay? So they fought and fought and fought and fought and fought and fought trying to do this with their own property. And the Trudeau government strangled it to death. So finally, after years of strangulation, the company said, you know what, this blows. I'm not doing this anymore.

And walked away. In March is the Trudeau government. So what should have been an $8 billion private money billed ballooned into a 30 plus billion cost to taxpayers. That also, that also if Kinder Morgan, was remotely astute, which I'm sure they were, they would have said to the government, look, you need to buy this because you need the optics on this. You need to get a pipeline built

and we can't do it for you and we're not going to do it for you. And if you want to buy this, that's fine. But the price just went up by $2 billion. I know, but they just walked away. But I'm sure, no, but that's because they said, because they didn't officially walk away. They said they were going to walk away. Trudeau confirmed this in an interview.

Kinder Morgan was walking away from the application process. And that was just going to be the final nail in any development in this country. And so that's when they jumped in. And they said, well, wait, wait, what if we bought it? And that's where I'm sure the conversation happened, where the people in the fancy suits around the big tables of Kinder Morgan said, look, here is they need this a lot more. they need this sale to happen a lot more than we needed to happen.

Like we need it to happen for our company, but they needed to happen for the entire country and for their jobs as politicians. So let's get rich while we do it. Chris, when you bring up the Trans Mountain, right? And what was the first estimate at balloon to over 30? 8 billion private money. So it wouldn't have mattered if it were 15 or 6.

It was 8 billion private money originally. And it went to 30 plus. 30 plus. Like Dan McTagg says it's more than 50 billion. But latest numbers I saw were plus 30. When you've seen 44 billion, what do we actually think it's going to get to? Oh, it'll be at least 100 billion. Yeah. No, honestly, when. I hope I'm wrong, man.

When have we ever talked about government and them spending money and actually coming in under budget? Never. We've never had that story. No. We had that story? Because there's, well, there's two things. is one is that you've got to have, you've got to account for the fact that, like literally every government project we've ever talked about on this show has come up at multiples of the original budget.

Okay? Look at the Alto train. Look at the green line in Calgary. Look at the last pipeline they built and the ridiculous legislation around it. And then also the culture around that build, this is some inside baseball. But the whole culture around that build was, fuck it, there is literally no price tag on any of this.

So whatever, it's all good. They need this to get built no matter what. And so let's try and make as much money as we can in the meantime. And that's going to have the exact same attitude here. And then the other thing is, is that the pipeline companies in Canada aren't exactly numerous, especially at this state in liberal governance. And so there's a very short list of people they can call and say, we need one of you guys in on this.

And it's very easy for them to say, okay, well, yeah, we'll do a 10% ownership stake, you know, going to Chris Simms thing. But we want to pay 10%, but we want to get 50% of the cash back, you know, or something like that. Like I guarantee you that the terms Pembina negotiated on this are extremely favorable for Pembina because I don't think it's going to make

much of a difference anyway, but I'm sure in Mark and Danielle's heads right now, confederation remaining whole depended on somebody saying yes. It's a big factor here. I don't know what Pembina's cut would ultimately be. I'm sure it's buried in that proposal package. So again, folks, it's 85 pages long. go take a gander. What got me, because I was trying to, every now and then I try to like look at silver lining and be like, okay, what if I swallowed the government's argument here?

That's coming from Edmonton, by the way, that goes something like this. Oh, well, we tried and tried and, you know, Carney wasn't budging on the carbon taxes and Pierre didn't win. So what else do you want us to do? So we want a pipeline built. So let's just look at it as infrastructure. And then it'll eventually pay for itself because, which is true, the government will get royalty money into the treasury, Alberta. So I'm like, okay, let me try to like tell myself that that's true. But then you interview somebody like economist Jack Mintz, okay, who is a professor at the University of Calgary. He's a fellow with the Fraser Institute, C.D. Howe, the guy's got a huge brain. Okay.

Yep. And he comes out, and I'm paraphrasing him, okay, because he used one. way smarter language than I'm capable of using. I'm paraphrasing him. Basically came out and said, yeah, the combination of the industrial carbon tax and all of this weird carbon capture sequestration over the hypotenuse cosine

is going to price Alberta oil out of the world market because you're adding to the production cost of a barrel of oil. And his estimate was around $8ish dollars US, which I don't know is like 50 bucks Canada now, but it's about $8, between $8 and $10, extract tacked on to the price of a barrel of oil. So his concern, again, I'm paraphrasing him,

was that with all of these thread tape and all of these industrial carbon tax nonsense, we're inflating the price of our oil. So even if that magical pipeline sometime in the future is there, that it won't be cost efficient to put oil in it because the world market won't be buying it. Dan McTagg, with Canadians for Affordable Energy, again, a gentleman who can estimate the price of a leader of gasoline for you in any city across Canada within two days. Okay, so he knows his stuff.

He's saying the same thing. So this is the part where I'm super frustrated, whereas if I'm like, okay, Canadians taxpayers are going to take a bath, they're going to have to spend, you know, at least $44 billion on this thing, which, by the way, would incur about a billion dollars interest borrowing that. because we have on money. Annually, you mean? Annually. Annual interest of about a billion dollars, okay? So this really hurts. But then if you try to think of it as an investment of long term, okay, what happens

with the royalties coming? Now I've got these smart guys saying, actually, we don't know if we're going to be making money on this thing, which is super concerning. Well, and what's just the great news this morning? I'm sorry, Sean. Great news. Well, you know, what are you going to do? The extra concerning part of it is,

is that if Alberta had held the line in the negotiations with Mark Carney, they could have had something like this. Like this is the worst possible outcome pretty much of this, I can imagine, because it would have been fairly simple to just hold the line and just be like, look, dude, you need this a lot more than we do. because if you don't agree to this now,

the separation between Alberta and the rest of Canada gets even starker. And there's a couple votes coming up that are kind of relevant on that. Right. So do you want to try and smooth things over a little bit? Or do you want everybody going into that ballot box ready to burn the place down? And that's all it would have taken. I know. And I don't know why Alberta.

And I still believe, of course, that she has best interest at heart. And this is the part that I'm frustrated with is that I know Danielle Smith, the old Daniel Smith wouldn't have liked this deal. But now we're dealing with the Premier of Alberta, who has a job to do. And I don't know why she didn't just pull a page out of Scott Mo's playbook and said, no. No. Take your industrial carbon tax and shove it. I'm not doing this.

It's not even like the Scott. Moe playbook. It's the playbook of anybody who's been presented with a bad deal. I know. I know. And credit to Scott Moe and credit, frankly, to conservative leader Pierre Pollyov for constantly standing

against the industrial carbon tax, even when he was getting criticized for doing so after the last election of, oh, people drop this. No, don't drop this issue of the carbon tax. That's how you're getting screwed. Like, the consumer carbon tax alone before it was canceled, took more than $40,000.

million dollars from Canadian's pockets. That's just the straight math. That's not even the extended costs. It is astonishing how much money we're wasting in this country on this nonsense. Because we won't get rid of things like the industrial carbon tax now. There you go. God, that's from the BBC. BBC, well, I wanted to get Chris Sims to hop in on this one, too, is for obvious reasons.

It says just how much trouble is Canada's economy in? And it goes through a list of things. It goes through technical recession, but it could be worse. And then rising inflation and pocketbook pain, more equity for some, higher debt for others. Many younger Canadians are struggling. On and on it goes. Anyways, Chris, I was curious your thoughts with the BBC. I should have sent it to you. My apologies. No, no, that's okay. Jessica Murphy wrote that and I used to work with her at Sun News Network. So, yeah, so she's basically the Canadian correspondent for BBC. So this isn't some Brit that's, you know, writing this from London or something. No, Jessica, she's Canadian. She lives and works in Canada and wrote a bang up job on that. I like that she included the cost of inflation, cost of young people, fleeing the country, all of that.

It's super important to really break those numbers down and highlight them. So good on her for putting that through with the BBC. And it's no surprise because, again, we have all of the... these smart people saying, listen, you have salted the garden of Canada since 2015. You've been screaming at industry and all these job creators, go away, go away, right? Where we don't want you. Close for business. We're going to run everything on solar and wind that is subsidized by government, right? And then that's obviously not working. We've been doing this experiment for 11 years now. We've been punishing people with carbon taxes for existing, which is what you're doing

when you're carbon taxing people for eating, moving around and heating their homes. That's living. Okay. Also, it's often pointed out, people forget if you're living in Ontario or BC, you forget across the prairies. Our energy, our electricity comes from natural gas. That's how our power plants work. And that's carbon taxed folks too.

farmers are carbon taxed at the fertilizer level. It's just increasing the cost of everything. And then to see them come around and say, oh, surprise, surprise. No private company wants to leave their wallet on our park bench anymore. They don't trust Canada. It's not a high trust society when it comes to business.

So we're going to screw the taxpayers to the tune of $44 billion that we're borrowing because we don't have this money. We're $1.4 trillion in debt, folks. So we're going to borrow another $44 billion and stick it to you. It's mind-numbing. Government is the problem. If the government got out of the way, private industry would take care of this.

Well, remember, like, it's almost probably been a couple years now since the RCMP did that report got linked, where the RCMP did that study saying that they need to have contingency planning in place for if and when people in Canada really, realize how well and truly messed up everything is. Okay. And then now just completely unrelated, you've got CTV just out of the blue. Cannibalism is bad for your health, scientists fine.

You know, just a gentle reminder. Who wrote that? Put that back up, Sean. One sec. Roiders. They're just carrying it through Reuters. Right.

That's cute, Reuters. Yeah. So anyway, just on a completely unrelated note. We can't get anything built in this country. Kusma isn't going to be renewed. The only foreign entity that Canada is capable of getting a trade deal with is Brookfield. And please don't eat each other because it's bad for your health.

Chris, one final. Kuzma, your thoughts on how drastically horrible this could be for Canada? I'm pretty drastically horrible. So from the taxpayers, Kevin, thanks Kevin. So from the taxpayers' perspective, I will point out that tariffs, every time you hear that word, I just want you to switch it in your brain to taxes because that's all they are. Tariffs are just trade taxes. So if we impose tariffs on something coming into our country, we're increasing the tax. on that item. And all of us get to pay for that.

So that's super dumb. I will point out that also from a taxpayers' perspective, we pay the prime minister around $400,000 per year, give or take. Plus in flight catering. Sure. Plus in flight catering because, you know, those Scottish salmon rolls and what is it? Legacy butter tarts aren't going to pay for themselves. Go figure.

I will point out also that in-flight catering thing that twos is mentioning, that's significant. Like, that wasn't just a little bit more. Carney spent double what Trudeau did just the year before on the same flight to Rome. On in-flight catering. I mean, keep in mind, there's an old article of his wife complaining that their housing allowance only being like $12,000 a month. elect me prime minister and I'm going to spend quadruple. I'm going to find a way. You would be hard pressed to find a way.

Oh, I'm going to find a way. I know. Just spray lobster on everyone. That's what we're going to have to do. And saffron, right? And we'll have to bathe in it. Okay. But to your point twos, so we pay Carney around, you know, $400,000-ish for year.

We pay, folks, it's not just the ministers, okay, when you see Dominic Blanc down there, right? like trying to talk to some underling at the United States government. Yeah, he doesn't go there by himself. No, we don't just pay him around $300,000. No, no, no, no. Deputy ministers, the bureaucrats behind the curtain that you never see, they often get paid more than the minister, okay? Year after year after year and never having to face the electorate,

nobody knows their names. This is literally their job, okay? Their entire job is foreign affairs, international trade, U.S. relations, all of these hangers on. They're like barnacles on the underside of a whale, okay? We pay hundreds of thousands of dollars each to these bureaucrats. And we got nothing. Nothing.

We got B.C2. Pardon me? Oh, goodness. But to your point on Kuzma and a trade deal, I will point out from an accountability perspective, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought during the last election they were campaigning on, I'm the best guy to get a deal. Yep. And if you've got an entire department in Ottawa, whose job it is to maintain, fair enough, fair enough.

But the point is, if you have however many people in Ottawa, whose job it is to maintain these trade deals and these foreign relations, and then if the trade deals dry up, then you literally have not done your job. And this would be the part where any sane company would kick you to the curb. Yeah, yeah, and I will point out, not gently, you can like or hate Americans or whatever you want to do that makes you feel better. I don't care. Hard numbers, we do around $3 billion worth of two-way trade with that country per day. Per day. So yeah, I'm just saying it's probably

a good idea to make sure you're keeping that trade relationship on the up and up because signing side deals with Lichtenstein or something is not going to cover those losses. So we do not be smirch. We do not

be smirch Lichtenstein on this show, Chris. I was just impressed with myself that I remembered how to pronounce it. So no offense against Lichtensteinianz. Lechstine. I missed you guys. Sean, are you really getting into an RV for like a whole year? Two days.

Two days. In two days. Giddy up. Gitty up, Chris. You'll do great. You'll do great because you guys all get along and you love your family really well and it'll be fine to be in a six by. How big is it? 21 feet.

21 feet long. Yes. Let's do some math twos. Okay. How wide is it? I don't know. How wide is a trailer? I don't know.

10 feet? Like 10 feet? Yeah, sure. Let's say 10 feet. Okay. So 210. 210 feet. Divided by six?

You'll be fine for a year, like a calendar year? Or is this like a dog year? Nope. For six months and then we go abroad even further. So we're headed up Panama and El Salvador and on and on. Oh, man. It would be interesting. For those of you listening who don't speak Spanish, El Salvador.

is Spanish for the Salvador. Chris, appreciate you hopping on and doing this. We always appreciate you on the show. And of course, you always find a way to give us something new to talk about. Yeah, thanks again for doing this. Hope to see you on the journey. Yes, I will definitely connect with you then. And I am sorry, I didn't want to dig up that number, but there are.

Oh, no, we're happy you did. I'm very impressed that you did. I got some help from some friends. I was thinking to myself, there's no way they're stupid enough to release some numbers in any time frame, even close to an announcement

where they went so far out of their way to release numbers, let alone the same day. But we found their homework. So, you know, there it is. And here's Kevin going, eight and a half feet is the widest allowed width. So it's even small.

Yeah, well, yeah, actually, because it's three point. Yeah, because you got to get down the lane.05 or 3.14 meters or something like that. That was Kevin. Kevin, Sean might have slides. Do you have slides? We have pop-outs.

See? There you go. There's plenty of room. Ballroom dancing. Zane. When does mashup get to present a piggy? What does the mashup get to present a piggy? You guys?

Do you like this? I got this version of Porky at Valley Village the other day. Isn't he cute? He already came with a little. Blazer and Tuxedo and all that stuff. That is awesome. But yeah, yeah, you guys had QDM on there. Well done with that.

Yes. He was a great choice. Right? And so you guys want to do on stage next? I think that'd be pretty funny. We want to present a piggy. So just one of them. We want to be like celebrity guest presenters for a category. Now presenting the worst politician in Canada.

I mean, we're happy to do whatever you're looking for. But yeah, that's all we've ever wanted is just to proudly announce that, you know, Jeremy Farcass is getting this for an $842,000 sculpture of random bricks that was done by, I don't know, I can't, some lady who used to star in Little House on the Prairie. Right. you've already made it better than what it's going to be though to's like that was even interesting it would even be that good um for people are wondering what they're on and in case you don't know we hand out what's called the teddy waste awards every year at the taxpayers federation and they're

literally these golden pig statues we hand them out to politicians and bureaucrats who waste your money in spectacular fashion because you got a laugh or cry and they hate it when they get mocked because they think they're really important so and we we beg to differ so So we hand up these awards. And yeah, guys, you guys should do a presentation. I'm going to pitch that to my bosses. We're going to get a rest way too much up. And we're going to be ready to roll.

We will wear blue and orange matching frilly tuxedos. Yes, we will. Okay. That's a selling for point for me. Okay. It's whatever you guys want. But actually, I mean, you'll probably remember. And then for those of you listening along that Calgary, about five, six years

ago or something like that paid a very large amount of money to Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, the actual Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Jane Seymour, also star of Octopus. Yeah, she's right. Yeah. For a statue. Well, it's better than spending thousands of dollars so people can telephone a river. Yes, that is fair. That is fair.

And actually, you know, if you guys ever want to do a really fun publicity stunt, I don't know how you'd probably have get story Sean. I'm just laughing because it was last week, two's right where Quebec gave trees rights. Wasn't that last week? Yes, weeks ago now. I'm just, I'm so confused. There's just so many stupid stories you're like, what is going on?

Tews? What were you going to say? Finish your point. You guys should try and blow bubbles with the big blue ring. Oh, that's a really good idea. Hey, guys, if you're making like the concentration for soap dispensing, call me because I'm going to need you in like some mesh.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I don't know how you could do it because you'd have to. I'm already planning it. I got a bucket crane in my head and like a big mesh thing and like a wand slapping against it and pull it down. And then I don't know, we'd have to get everybody to go on one side of the thing and blow. Chris Sims, thanks again for hopping on and doing this. Always great to see you. Always great. I know the audience appreciates it. We appreciate it. I appreciate it. You have yourself a great. Thanks for making me laugh.

And we're sorry, but if we're all of our listeners in Liechtenstein, we are sorry. We are sorry. I'm truly sorry. Bye. All right. Chris Sims, always a hoot. I love her. Oh, man.

Well, I mean, she gets right to the meat of it, doesn't it? Okay. Where do you want to go? You want to go to separation? Should we start there? Yeah, let's go to separation. Court of Appeal allows counting of Alberta separatist petition to go ahead. That's wonderful. That's nice.

Well, he said Chief Electoral Officer Gordon McClure may begin verifying signatures and report the results publicly, but must not take any additional steps that could see separatist leader Mitch Sylvester's independence question put to a vote. Well, it's too late to do anything about it, but at least the voices are going to be heard, and that's what's important. Thomas LeCasic, he says, our question is not on the referendum. It is the Premier's question. It's not our question. It's misleading and our campaign is. taking no position on it because it's not our question. Yeah, as Unity Bus Tours, Alberta, Federalists hope referendum will be called off,

which is very interesting because if you go back to this, and if we get enough signatures, which I have no doubt in my mind that we will, we will have a referendum in this province, but not about separating, about staying in Canada. And if we get... Huh. That's inconvenient, Thomas Lukazek. By the way, I saw some people talking about he's actually secretly Ukrainian and not actually Polish.

That's totally a Polish accent and not a Ukrainian accent. Do you want to say, do you want to bring up the no to nine signs? Well, yeah. So here's, I'm not sure who Jacob Moffat is. But for those of you watching or listening rather than watching, it looks like there's a turtle flying in the background. And also, I'm serious. What is that up there? It looks like a turtle is in midair.

I would say it is a drone, probably. It looks like a turtle. It looks like a turtle. There's a flying turtle behind the sign. Carry on to's. Okay. And so there's a sign that says stay in Canada, no to the nine, and directly beside it, unironically, without even grasping

what he was doing in that picture, he has the traffic circle going endlessly in circle's sign. Two identical signs right next to each other without even putting together how incredibly redundant the two of them are. And then here's them getting ready for their signs. And they're standing there smiling at each other. And if you look at this garage, there isn't a single power tool in this entire garage.

there is nothing look how clean that floor is nothing has ever been done with this space the people who want you to stay in canada don't even own a fucking drill tell me i'm wrong and then here's another picture of theirs right next to the road placed illegally that needs to be removed where they placed that is illegal so it's going to have to go but congratulations guys you played yourself. Now Jeremy Farkas. Yes, Jeremy Farkas. Yep. Keeps jumping in on this. And apparently the city of Calgary is not permitted to campaign against Alberta separation, but counselors can. And he doesn't like this decision. Given the economic damage, Alberta's separation would cause Calgary. Staying silent is not an option. I believe

municipalities should be allowed to tell residents what the evidence says. he goes on more. But here's the thing is his evidence is new survey finds 60% Alberta businesses seeking seeing effects of separation talk on economy. And he's talking specifically about the Chamber of Commerce poll that we discussed last week. And so it was a survey of 137 businesses within a roughly 4% of the entire businesses in Calgary saying that 68% of those 137 businesses are seeing effects of separation talk on the economy.

And he's presenting that as though it's the businesses in their entirety, which is intentionally misrepresenting it. See, here's the thing is when he says municipalities should be allowed to tell residents what the evidence says. the presumption on that is that he is going to be telling them what the evidence says. But what he's actually doing is cherry picking things and intentionally misrepresenting them. See, when you get this argument, people say, oh, well, you know what? If Alberta separates, they're not going to have any trade deals.

They're not going to have all these established relationships. They're going to have all of these issues down the road because they're no longer underneath the flag of Canada. but it goes underneath the presumption that Canada is some well-oiled machine right now already. Oh, oh, well, you're going to lose all your trade deals. Well, guess what motherfuckers? We're already losing the big one. So what the fuck difference is it going to make? And that's the thing is when they say, oh, well, you're going to lose this.

You're going to lose that. The implied assumption is that you would be taking a step downward. But if you go from a place that doesn't have a trade deal with your biggest trading partner, as Chris said, $3 billion a day, if you lose access to that trade deal because you separate, you're in literally the exact same position as if you lose access to that trade deal because all of the bureaucratic idiots in Ottawa couldn't fucking maintain it. I don't know what you got hidden in drivers today, but I'm curious. Oh, lots. I've come to expect it won't be just drivers, but we'll see. From terrible maps. The road trip absolutely nobody asked for.

Apparently, you can go from Peepee Island in Newfoundland down to Pee Pee Pee Creek in Virginia and then go all the way to Poo Pooh Point in Oregon. So we're expecting somebody to fund Pee Pee Poooo Poo Man to do that road trip? Yeah, well, I just thought it was funny. You're obsessed with Pee-Poo-Poo, man. And so it keeps coming up. And oh, wait, here, here, we've got the Irishman. Oh, the best place to live in Ireland has been revealed.

And that's right. It's my home county of Mayo. Fuck yeah. We needed this victory, to be honest. We are fairly notorious for losing things. Every time I make a video about my beautiful home county, I get the Americans coming on. Oh, Mayo, like mayonnaise? I'm going to put it on my name.

sandwich. Shut up to fuck, you hungry, cunt. It's not funny or original. Get a job. Now, if you're a woman watching this video, I'm going to warn you, I'm about to go bilingual. It can be quite sexy, so be very careful. Mayo comes from the Irish, Mui-O, which means playing up the U-Trees. Who doesn't love a good U-Tree? Okay, fair enough, it's kind of an ugly tree, but it's what we fucking have. Now, let me show you some hot picks of meo. Here's downpatrick head, beautiful, gorgeous, where St. Patrick murdered all the fucking snakes. Put all the snakes

on this bit, which used to be attached, and then he took a staff and he said, fuck off ye cunts, and then they all starved to death or something on that. It was horrific, but it sent a message, we don't even get snakes as tourists now. Here's my hometown of Balinat. This is our gorgeous cathedral. It's one of the pointiest cathedrals in the world,

I think. This is Castle Bard, the biggest city in all of Mayo. It's so large. It even, even has its own McDonald's. Now, this is an old picture. I believe this was taken around 2009. It's the most beautiful place in the world. I'm ever so proud of my lovely male. Best place to live in Ireland. Look at it. Just makes you want to fucking frolic. I will be honest. This picture does appear to have been taken during an extreme heat wave. It does generally piss me. But it can be lovely. It gets you in a thinking mood. Anyway, follow me. I'm delicious.

Yeah, again with him. When's he going to come? on the show, by the way. That's a good question. I mean, you could just drive over there and meet up with him. It's true. This was on Highway 2 by Red Deer. I love how they just put a bunch of straps on it and figured it would be fine. And here, a TransLink bus driver passed out while driving in North Vancouver Beastie.

I don't know why everybody's freaking out. That's basically how everybody's driving. in this country already. He may not have even passed out. That's just exactly how things travel in this country. That's completely normal. Vessel that sank off BC coast had been impounded last year for illegal fishing, former owner says four survivors were rescued and six people are presumed drowned

after the charter vessel sank in the strait of Georgia. Now, what had happened was that this guy who had a reality TV show sold his boat and then the new owners didn't update any of the registration with the marine stuff. I don't know. I'm not I'm not a sailor. Vance Crow could probably tell us all about this. But he kept on getting trouble with this and then people thought it was his boat that sank even. And he's like, dude, I sold this boat years ago.

Well, apparently they were doing illegal fishing last year. And they, um, it was reported by Singtown News. which is not to be confused with Sing Tao, the beer. Apparently, even though it looks exactly the same, there's something different in the pronunciation. So it's more like Sing Tao and Sing Tao or something like that. That they were all Chinese nationalists who drowned. So, and then here's where I actually pulled that from here.

And Tuesday, Sing Tao Dairy, Canada reported that all on board the vessel were Chinese descent. Uh, here's another interesting one that I just wanted to, I just wanted to surprise, surprise you with this. Uh, a woman in Florida was swimming with her boyfriend and a friend of hers. And she got her arms ripped off by an alligator and died. And there she is. But obviously before the attack, you can tell because she still has arms. But this is from, this is from the nine, nine, the 911 call and

I happened to just burst out laughing when I heard this. It was just the weirdest reaction to seeing your friend's arms get ripped off by an alligator I have ever heard in my life. Oh, good as they can. How bad is the bite? Horrible.

Her arm is it okay. Almost is it just okay. Both her arms. Both her arms are off like, basically. Yeah, okay. No, I'm on 911. Blime her arms completely else. And other ones like, the patch,

apparently, please. And is the bleeding serious? What? No. Is it horrible. Yes. Okay. Severe.

Is she responding normally? She is responding. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. Well, I must have hit the wrong time stamp.

I must have just hit a typo when I wrote it down. But at one point, she's just like, fucking gators, man. Fucking gators, man. fucking gators, man. See, at least... Is the bleeding normal? Both of her arms are off.

That's exactly it. I don't know. I've never seen anybody get their arms torn off by an alligator before. I can't tell you if this is below or above average for a gator attack. So anyways,

that's everything we've got in driving. Now we've got some goofy news. Yeah, well, okay, that wasn't goofy enough. Goofy. Here we go. The Mexican Batman. All right, this is an interesting one. Mexico now has its own Batman. He hunts motorcycle thieves at night

and duct tapes them to poles and Lagos de Moreno and five men have already been found tied to lamp posts. I think this is wonderful. Picture Batman with the cowl, you know, covering his eyes and then just like a big, greasy handlebar mustache underneath. He wouldn't even be Batman. He'd be like Batman.

and he could he could fight all of his just picture this movie there's him like throwing a sombrero to knock the gun out of the hand of a bank robber and you know he could be fighting all of his main enemies like Signor Frio instead of Mr. Fries

Senior Frio and that one would be particularly traumatic because of course his secret power is ice. And then, you know, you could have scarecrow haunting his siesta's. And, and you could have poison ivy just wrapping him up in the vines from jalapenos. And it would be, it would be a little bit weird, though, because in this case, the, the superhero's alter ego would be the butler. But, yeah, and then, and then he could also fight Bain.

Alabama man, okay, from, from Mexican Batman. man to an al- you don't have to do anything with Bain because Bain's already Latino. An Alabama man strangled his girlfriend and then died of a heart attack while dragging her body through the woods. Both were found dead on the scene.

Yes. This is a wonderful story. So dude literally murders his girlfriend. Not like all of it's wonderful, I guess I should be clear, but just the irony of this. So he murders his girlfriend and then he's

digging the hole to bury her in out in the fucking woods. And the exertion of that causes him to have a heart attack and then he dies. And so then when everybody goes out looking for them, they find a murdered woman and him with a shovel in one hand and clutching his chest with the other next to a half dug hole, which technically doesn't exist. You can't really dig half a hole. As soon as you start digging it, it's either not a hole or it's a hole. but a hole that wasn't dug far enough for him to have completed what he wanted to do with it,

I guess would be a more accurate way of saying it. And so yeah, he's just lined up. You want to show the wind farm? Bring up the wind farm. Oh, it's just absolutely horrible. The devastation. You know, Chris Sims was talking about how the government wanted to move to wind and solar for a while. Well, the weather's been a little bit fucky on this continent for the past couple weeks.

And this is what happens when wind farms have too much wind. Now, I'm not going to argue too much about which power generation method is superior to what. But I will say that if you put too much gasoline into the gas tank of an engine, all it does is just start pouring out. Yeah. You want to show the Hamilton mayoral, mayoral candidate, Scarlet? Yes, I absolutely do. And we should have her on the show. Sock puppets in all.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the transvestite sock puppet using former sex worker dressed like a 19th century East Indian colonizer who is running for mayor of Hamilton, Ontario. We have Scarletopsy here. Who's that? Why she's running for mayor of... Hello, everybody. How are you all doing? You were already asked jokingly why you are running for Hamilton. You were already asked jokingly

why you're running for Mayor of Hamilton. Would you like to give a more... I just remembered about the puppets. Would you like to give a more nuanced answer about why you're running for Mayor of Hamilton? Absolutely. All right.

I'm a city housing Hamilton resident, a working class trans women living with disabilities, and I've seen how the city neglects the building I live in. My building at the Cumberland City Housing Hamilton building was going to be another Jamesville. And for those who don't know what that means, it was going to be. You know, the thing that irritates me the most about it, what is there left to see? I mean, you want to show the entire video? No, that's okay. It ended two seconds later.

That's fine. That's fine. This was wonderful. I was fascinated by all of it. It was just ridiculous. Yes, it was ridiculous. I don't even need to go into what annoys me. Okay, here.

The Toronto Star, okay, this is an opinion piece in the Toronto Star. The new, this new Alberta health policy could spell the end of Medicare. Now, I just, I just want to try something real quick. This should be fun. Now, what they're talking about is going to a mix of public and private for some services, which is actually something that Quebec and Ontario already do. So presumably they're going to talk about the cascading effect of how other provinces have already been doing this. And now Alberta is going to adopt it.

And then pretty soon all the other dominoes are going to fall. Right? Because if you're talking about how Alberta choosing to do this is going to be the end of Medicare and Canada, then presumably you would not omit the fact that it's already happening in the two most populous provinces. Right. But if we just look up fucking Quebec. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, well, let's just look up that third world province Ontario.

Oh, and the only showing of Ontario in the article is a link to another article. This is blatantly dishonest representation and distortion of what's happening here. And you cannot miss the fact that other provinces are doing this in this discussion. Yeah. And so you're only doing two as you may have cut up. I can't hear you. I can't hear you. Tews, I can't hear you.

Tews, we still can't hear you. I can't hear you. Okay. There you, what? You're there for a second. Can you hear me now? Yes, I can. Okay.

Show the just bins. I'm showing the just bins. This is in Regina. I'm around on the roof, and so they're trying to get them, cop, fire department everywhere, he's picking his nose and he's literally got his head

all the way inside his butt crack because he doesn't realize that the helicopters or the drones or whatever or sitting around watching him, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, wiping out like an extremely retarded Spider-Man. It's just an absolute comedy of errors

entirely on this guy's part. Jill Biden's memoirs disappearance from New York Times bestseller list after debuting at the top raises questions. about sales numbers, as one person put it, very rare. Yeah. So basically what happened was when Jill Biden's memoir book got released, there was a little asterisk indicating that bulk sales were involved.

And so somebody bought, or some people bought a whole bunch of bulk sales of this book, which put it to the top of the bestseller list. and then it dropped off sharply in week two and by week three it was completely gone. So the only people who bought this book were bulk sellers in the first couple weeks it was out and that seems a little bit suspicious. It kind of seems like the kind of thing

where you do a deal with somebody at some point and then you release a bullshit book and they just agree to buy a shit ton of copies of it, burn them, and you get rich in the meantime. Mystery of explosive diarrhea parasite outbreak in the U.S. as experts try to figure out what's causing it.

Yeah. So basically what's happening is that there's some particularly extremely violent. Could you say violent? Bout of diarrhea that's happening at a whole bunch of different states, Colorado, Texas,

Alaska, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, New York, basically the whole East Coast. And it typically happens when you eat foods that have traces of fecal matter on them already. And then presumably when that fecal matter enters your digestive tract, there's some kind of a multiplication effect that gets exponentially more. They're like, oh, well, there's already a little poop here. We need to make lots of poop. and then you don't really,

you aren't really able to drive very far until it clears up. Brian Adams. Thoughts and prayers with all these people. Brian Adams takes aim at Donald Trump with protest song 51st State. Here's a lot, well, I don't know, do you want to play some of it?

No, no, I don't want to play some advice, mister. You might have too much on your plate. Rast Adams in the course of the rough and tumble track. Go and load us up with terrorists, but we'll never be the 51st state. Yeah, the song for those of you who want to check it out, it fucking sucks. And you may be wondering why. And for that, we're going to dunk on Brian Adams a little bit, which is fine because the guy's been a limey since the 90s. Okay.

I think I've about had it with people from Britain jumping in on Canadian shit and fucking everything up. Mark Carney, for example. So if you look at the singles he's released, live albums, where's singles, compilation albums, singles, 70s, 80s, you know, he's kind of getting to start and then he really hits his stride and then lots of high numbers, number ones, number ones and stuff like that. But then they start dropping off. See, I don't know if you guys realize this, but ever since that duet,

he did with one of the Spice Girls, he still kept making music the whole time. it's just that you haven't heard it because it fucking sucks. And so the guy who released a special Canada Day song called 51st State, not not 51st state, but 51st state, has been making music here. Singles in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, boom, all of these dashes are when things didn't even make any of the fucking charts. And when you get into the 2010s, it gets even worse. Oh, look, in 2015, he had a song called You Belong to Me, that peaked at 181 on the British fucking charts.

That's news to me, because I've never heard that fucking song before. And then as you get into the 2020s, he's got one single that I'm, it's a non-album single that I'm fair, oh, that was part of artist Cannes. So it wasn't even a solo thing. and it peaked at number one. And then he did something with BBC Radio 2's All-Stars that peaked at number seven.

And then his only charting of multiple singles being released. Like there's probably like 20 on here since the year 2020 was one that peaked at 85 on the Swiss charts. And this is the guy that we're going to take musical advice from. And he wrote a special. Canada Day song that represents Canada from fucking London. Okay, well, you know what? I worked Canada Day.

And while I was working Canada Day, I was singing to myself. You know it's true. Everything I do, I do it for you. And while I did that, I looked at a picture of fucking Quebec. Langley, RCMP Investigate Rainbow Cross Rock vandalism. following a review of video surveillance from the area. Investigative has observed three individuals believed to be used riding electric dirt bikes and intentionally damaging the crosswalk.

The irony of doing it with an electric dirt bike. But it's that same thing we keep coming back to. Okay, you can't leave skid marks on rainbows. You can't leave skid marks on rainbows. And then they're going to sell rainbow underpants to a guy with a prolapsed asshole. Tell me the logic in that. Faye Johnstone on Jamil Giovanni. This thinly veiled homophobia, by the way,

just in case we've lost the plot so badly, we don't recognize and name it as such. Yeah. So what Jamil Giovanni was talking about was the fact that Pierre Paliyev declined to participate in the gay pride parade in Toronto, which featured a lot of dicks hanging out, not like an impressive.

there was an impressive amount of unimpressive dicks, I guess would be a good way to put it. And yeah, so hopefully they're growers and not showers, but I mean, if I was going to be in a gay relationship with somebody, I would probably want them to have small. Yeah. We don't need to go any further on this. Anyway, so she's talking about how this is thinly veiled,

thinly veiled homophobia for them to say, hey, you know what, maybe it isn't normal to show your dicks in public. Well, you know what? It would have been nice to have been at least thinly veiled Faye Johnston. The dicks, the weanors. Maybe we could have at least thinly veiled the weaners. You want to show some Canada Day videos? You got the woman upset with the garbage.

You got the insane storm ripping through Ottawa. And you got the Canadian military. well before that just a random thing from some lady i don't know um who she is but she said just landed in toronto and it looks like a third world shit hole so she's not even the same person doing that but this this was in the northeast of calgary and this is from like a five minute video of them saying oh yes we will clean up the garbage when we're done we will clean up the garbage you don't understand what we're doing and then they didn't even have any garbage bags but look at this fucking garbage everywhere.

It's just an absolute mess. If you're listening and not watching, there is litter scattered everywhere. Everywhere. There is piles of garbage. Well, you know what? Here's the thing, lady. I absolutely can believe the state of this park on Canada. Canada Day. Something that used to be

pretty nice is now covered in fucking garbage. That's literally exactly what everybody who does celebrate is celebrating on July 1st of every year. It's what you've come to expect. It's not outside the normal.

That is the country you live in. That is the country that the federalists want to stay attached to. This is that fucking place in a nutshell. And it rained so bad in Ottawa that they had to cancel all the Canada Day stuff. Look at everybody, people running from the rain and the hail and stuff. I don't know if I'm the only person who's realized this. yet, but God hates Ottawa. And here

this is this is our military and this is them marching. You can see Jamie, he's fourth from the back there. Look at this march. Look at this synchronized march. This is fucking embarrassing. This is

so bad on so many levels. It would have been fun to have had... These are the people... What's that? It would have been fun to have had Chuck Jamie on. to play-by-play that for us. Yeah. Sports desk.

Actually, yeah, because I imagine that they would have just absolutely lost their fucking minds. Sports desk. Okay. What do we got in the sports desk? Well, we're not going to show that AI one. It's not nearly as funny as you think it is. All right. Fair enough.

But this guy is 7-1. Yeah, this is the San Jose draft pick. Look at how big he is. Holy crap. Like he's not even fast. He's just so big and tall and he'll be able to just stick handle all around you. He's going to be really good, but not because he's good, but just because he's so big. It's basically the shack effect.

He's 7-4. On skates, yeah? Yeah. Like, I mean, yeah. Yeah. How about the Calgary Flames? How are those Calgary Flames doing twos? Oh, you're not even going to show the Calgary Flames? I don't know. I guess we're missing it.

I don't know. That's so weird. That's so weird. But this, credit to you, Sean. This is probably the coolest video that you have ever found for the mashup. And so I don't know what the deal is with this sport. I can't read the word that's at the top of it. but the gist of this is that an attractive woman in a bathing suit is running down a hill trying to catch a giant wheel of cheese and for those of you who don't believe me watch this

look at the technique doesn't fall people fall in all everywhere around her oh I don't think I've ever been more turned on in my life twos is in love all right here's the Calgary flames I wonder how they're off-season going flames prospect uh prospects including uh cars and carroll's jack hextall joe againlaw working skating consultant daniel fajita dancing to michael jackson okay well just make sure it's muted yeah um i don't know see here's the thing is like sometimes you just got to get in right headspace I do like some of their picks but this is funny

I want to see this heck stall scoring some goalie goals and if you recognize that arena there has been some greatness there before right that's where the cornerstone is that arena it's a winsport oh

a couple of years ago, greatness was in-house. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I was there. Yeah, we were. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you were there, too. Sorry, I almost forgot. Oh, man. Now, let's go to sports desk slash, or just weather. This is...

Supercharged heat. El Nino juices the jet stream. Well, your El Nino juices. are going to be boiling when you look at this because after they ran out of scary colors to make, they just had to make the map larger and larger and larger. And now they're looking at the whole globe. So presumably the only way that they can make this scarier is if they start showing different planets

and what's happening on the sun at the same time. At the same time. Because this, this is the entire planet in scary colors. And look at that. And if I'm not mistaken, these are Fahrenheit. The light blue is minus one. And then you've got plus one, three, five, six, and eight. And it's just heat, heat.

Oh, shoot. I should probably mute that too. Jet streams and heat domes. And look at all this scary stuff. And the largest deviation on here is eight degrees. But here's the thing, is they're focusing primarily on the states? So that's probably 8 degrees Fahrenheit, which is slightly less than 4 degrees Celsius. If you have an old house, you can have that exact same scary diagram going from one room to the other in the winter.

Toronto Council's World Cup broadcast at Nathan Phillips Square due to extreme heat. Extreme heat, with temperatures expected to reach 37, the city, Toronto. says it's been canceled. Well, here's the thing. The forecast was actually with a possible high of 34 to 36. And then if you look at that day, it got up to 34. They canceled the live event because of potential weather, just so that they could be everything scary. Now, happy news.

Happy news, Sean. For those of you who are listening and not watching, this is a new news article while here BB gun shooting during naked bike ride suspect charged with assault with a deadly weapon here's the thing two people were treated for lacerations so naked or deadly weapon seems a little bit egregious but apparently there's a world naked bike ride

and this guy didn't like it very much which is fair because it's weird and so he just shot at them with a BB gun. Yeah. Yep. That's what you got. What do we got for community notes this week? I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

What do you got for community notes this week? Huh. I don't know why that's there. I think I got the wrong. Community notes. Kevin Spacey is in celebration of, so for those of you who don't know, tomorrow is America's 250th birthday.

So happy birthday to all of our American friends and listeners and everybody else like that. Tomorrow is America's 250th birthday. I created a limited edition, collectible ring engraved with Per Adwa ad Astra through adversity to the stars. Each collector's box is personally hand signed by me, Kevin Spacey, very limited quantities available for three weeks only. Once it's gone, it's gone. So for those of you who are big fans of the many wonderful movies he's made, or even the people that have mysteriously died around him, or the multiple ongoing accusations of him taking advantage of underage boys,

this might be the exact ring for you. Okay. Mashup 215. No, no, no, no, no. You didn't even read the community notes, did you? No, I didn't. Okay. I was waiting for you.

I've been too excited. I got, uh, I told Tuesday we got an hour and 25 minutes. You got too excited to do your damn job? Hour and 25 minutes for five minutes over. Of course, I should have known better. Army Hammer's controversial comeback movie Citizen Vigilante has a secured worldwide distribution. And apparently it's number one on prime right now. This is the video where the guy gets fed up with all of the migrant rape gangs,

not getting any sort of retribution. and he goes around taking care of it himself. And it was originally banned in Germany for no apparent reason. And then Elon Musk put it up on Twitter for two days. And now it's absolutely exploded. Not unlike the chests and heads of the people who do bad things in this movie. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm going to, I've rented it, but I haven't watched it. So that's going to.

on. June 8th, 1 to 4 p.m. Western Standards Pancake breakfast annual Stampede Barbecue. So check that out. And they also have Independence versus Federalism, July 9th at the Glenmore Inn and Convention Center, moderated by Fair Deal panelists and former Calgary varsity MLA Donna Kennedy Glans. Phil DeBrant is arguing the independent side facing off against MRI Polly Sigh professor Dwayne Bratt.

Doors open at 5.30. Debate starts at 6, $10 to get in. And let Alberta decide. So this is a big one. So we talked about it last week, kind of the happy news. You know, the, oh, you guys are fucked now. When Alberta, let Alberta decide, decided to step

into the ring and actually take a formal stance on things. It was right after you'd left, Sean. But they're having a pancake breakfast at Ranchman's July 12th at 9 a.m. 9 to 12. RSVP ahead of time. And 2's is going to be there as I don't I feel like I feel like Keith Wilson could get literally anybody he wanted. But for some reason they want twos to be there shaking hands and kissing babies. So I'm very excited that they asked me. It's basically like getting drafted to the best team. I mean, obviously it's just making an appearance.

But yeah, I'll be there. So come say hi. I'm going to apologize because I think a few people may have texted me some community notes and I've totally dropped the ball on all that. So text me again and next week on the road, I'll do better. All right. Mashup 215 in the books, twos. the next time we meet will be in person.
