So apparently the music doesn't show up when Sean does. Again, with this, Sean, for fuck's sakes. We were talking about this before. But we're joined here today by Jim Sinclair, who managed to take some time away from cutting grass to come say hi. Jim, how are you? I know you got a lot of stuff to do. What did you say you got to do after this?

Jim, can you hear me? Jim? Jim. Jim. Jim, can you? Hear me? Yeah, can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you.

Jim, welcome to the show. Happy Airborne Friday. Jim Sinclair. Why the hell not? Okay, can you hear me now? Nothing? Just talk, talk, talk. Go, go, go, go.

I can hear you. Hello, hello, hello. Hello, can you hear me? Hello, hello. Yeah, just talk, just talk. Hello. You're waiting. waving your arms around like some kind of hippopotamus.

No, for fuck sakes. I don't know. Like, we were literally just talking until we went live, and then now it's not working. Hello? Jim, can you hear me? Can you hear? Everybody else can hear you.

Why can't you hear me? Oh, now you can. Hey, listen. What? For fuck sakes. Yeah, everybody's saying they can hear just fine. So, Jim, welcome to the show. Yes.

Yes. Thank you for having you. Jim has been kind enough to take some time away from cutting grass to join us today. and I'm not exactly sure why. What, okay, well, first off, we got you on right at the start because you got some other stuff to do. What are you up to you today after this?

First of all, did you do the Airborne Friday thing yet? It's you. You're literally here. This is Airborne Friday. Okay, well, happy Airborne Friday to all the brothers out there that put their lives on the line for our way of life and for fighting for Canadian values, which I hope Alberta saves.

and us veterans are in support of you guys. So keep up the good fight. All right. So is that good? Is that, do you want me to turn out with the rest of now? That was well put. Now, first off, you said you got a busy day. What are you up to after this?

Yeah, I got 17 trees cut down. We had a little bit of a windstorm come through here, a little rain. And it's just daily maintenance at the old campground, which is, you know, awesome to be part of. And happy to be around all these awesome people out here. hopefully you come and check it out we got a case of your bow on a sitting here. Henry and I

were holding it ransom to you show up. Well, I'm trying. I'm trying. It's a little bit difficult lately. It's kind of like when you got a hostage and you start cutting off limbs and mailing them to you.

You're just going to send empty. Yeah, we're just going to drink an empty and we'll videotape it so you're very disturbed about what's happening to your beautiful box of beer and then we'll mail you at the fucking cap and then maybe the bottle and we'll eventually get what we want out of you sounds good okay so what what's that behind you okay well it's so rock wall jim did you hit a button oh i love you jim okay well always good to have jim on the show in the meantime

we have the Coots 6th he showed up for half a second and then left again Coot 6 and a half folks I'm going to go I'm going to go to my house and I'm going to get on my

on my computer because everybody's calling me so it keeps kicking me out oh that's unfair yeah yeah that's fair I'll rejoin give you two minutes

you then. Okay. Airborne out. See, yeah. All right. Well, it was always good to see him. Hopefully he's back. In the meantime, the Coots, six and a half. Believe it or not, this stuff happens

every week. And I'm getting kind of tired of it. Now, Jim, what are you doing here? Jim is left again. Kick me out. I don't know. Like, you're in charge.

I did nothing. Can you? Yeah. just took me out and then I'll restarted. I don't know how to turn this off. I don't know. That's what he was asking for, folks. That's what I gave him. Okay.

Cout six and a half. Here's a release from the Peel Regional Police Force. Constable Zara Yusufse was working in a plain coast tuse is adorable tell us jokes all right fair enough Yusuf Se was working in plain clothes capacity and then decided to go trying on clothes

which it says was work related and then to do that she had to take off her belt which had her service pistol and a spare magazine and handcuffs in it and then she got a phone call while she was changing which was totally work related got dressed her hurriedly ran outside, forgot her gun in the change room.

And then the people who worked at the store found it. And then eventually she realized, oh shit, I'm forgetting something. The fucking gun that I use for this job that I'm definitely on right now and not clothes shopping. And she has agreed to give up 15 days worth of pay. You can literally leave a gun lying around with, by the way, I'm pretty sure they have like the 17 round mags in them if they if they're running the glocks so like a literally a prohibited firearm and uh and that's fine but if your dad bequeaths you an old box that has a

forgotten downhole charge in it you'll go to jail for six and a half years child killer alan Schoenborn granted conditional discharge by BC Review Board. Now, for those of you who don't know who this is, in 2010, he was found not criminally responsible for killing his three children aged 5, 8, and 10 in 2008. And here you go. This guy getting a conditional discharge, despite the fact that they think it's very likely that he is going to re-offend. Mandatory minimum for child sex abuse material is unconstitutional, says Quebec court. A mentally handicapped person who was also big into child porn got busted,

and they said it isn't fair to him to put him in jail for a year because he doesn't have the mental capacity to deal with it. You know who also doesn't have the mental capacity to deal with this kind of stuff, children. And saying that a mandatory minimum for things like this is unconstitutional, no, no, no, no, no. Here's what we do. This is the new law. We'll call it the two's law.

This is what we're going to do going forward. If a pedophile is sentenced and when the news covers it, it says anything less than heinous or barbaric or deplorable when discussing the sentence. then what has to happen is that that convicted pedophile becomes that lawyer's babysitter. Because I'm pretty fucking sure that when it's your kids involved, these things would stop happening. And you need to think about it as though it was your kids involved. Oh, we can't just be mean to the pedophile. Well, you know what?

If you're not mean to the pedophile, he's going to keep petting the files. and you need some skin in the game. This is all the coot six and a half, folks. Why are hardened criminals being allowed to remain non-citizen convicted of manslaughter sentenced for gun and drug charges? This guy's a non-citizen. He's prohibited from having weapons. And the car he was in got pulled over and they found fentanyl cocaine and a loaded pistol on this guy.

Why the hell is he still here? after he's been convicted of manslaughter and is, you have to go through a certain amount of legal stuff to be prohibited from having any firearms in this country. And if you're just here trying things out, and you've already got to that point, it's fair to say that maybe you should just fuck the way, fuck all the way back to where you came from,

which in this case was David Jajua, who was sentenced to six and a half years last month for this. and the offense dates to January 2024. Wherever he's from, go back there, see you later. It's been real nice. And here's another one. This is what's being talked about doesn't matter in this. I want you to look at these two police officers in the background

as Sean Frazier is talking. Look at their faces. It is exactly what's motivating these kinds of changes. We will not accept a Canada where people fear that they're going to be attacked at random in the streets and that the offender will be released with impunity. We won't accept a Canada where violence has become an expectation. It goes on like this for like another minute. But the point is, is that the whole time these two cops behind him are giving him, you know that look you give people when they're saying something that's just straight up fucking. retarded. For those of you listening along, while Sean Fraser is doing this speech,

there are two men behind him in police uniforms giving him that exact textbook look. Pretty much the only thing they're stopping short of doing is one of these behind them. Now, let's get in some news here, folks. I don't know if you know this or not, but Carney has started appointing senators. And to nobody's surprise, it's all the usual suspects except for one which is awesome okay but the the usual suspects so his first appointment now just this is cbc's coverage of it oh and jim is back jim welcome back yes yes thank you thank you sorry about the wait uh it was obviously a bad signal out there and everybody kicked me out because i kept getting phone calls okay yeah so it's a

busy day around the campground today we uh we're getting ready for task force of ryan 20th anniversary. Okay. Now, I have no idea what we're doing here today at all. Sean just said, Jim wants to. What's new? Well,

what's new to use? Task force arrived. Just the whole thing. Just lay it all out for us because if I don't know what you're talking about, nobody else here will either. Yeah. Well, that's why I'm very thankful that you let me come on your show,

which is awesome, by the way. Literally any time. Just to get back to my joke when you said you don't know what you're doing, and that's what I was saying, well, what else is new? Yeah, no, I got it. It's supposed to move past it. Okay, well, I had to back up. I had to back the train up.

Anyway, no, but thank you very much. I really appreciate it. And hopefully I can give you like a weekly update of what we're doing here. So task force of Ryan, task force of Ryan was set up by Willie McDonald and I 10 years ago. And what we do is we bring veterans to Regina Beach. and we would, you know, kind of figure out a way to fund it between Willie and I. And we learned some hard lessons along the way. And it's like, don't leave a beer fridge unlocked.

We learned that lesson in a hard way. But hey, shit happens. And you just keep moving forward. But anyways, we've always had, like, amazing people showing up. We've had firemen from the Tisill or the bus crash for the humble Broncos to a retired police office. officers, RC&P and city police that went through traumatic stuff. And it's a place for people to come and we're not mental health experts, but this is a place where you're around like-minded people.

And as long as you want to try to get better, we're here to support that and connect people with different things that happened. Like the first one we did 10 years ago, we had guys that were killed. and there was guys that were there when they got killed that harbored some resentment. And we linked them up with the other elements of Task Force Orion to give some closure of why that situation happened. And it really helped a lot of people in the right way. So we knew we were striking gold and we just kept doing it

because it's something that's been important. And as the years went on, we had people with video, of horrific things that happened to them, you know, literally throw it into bonfire and burn it and we celebrated, you know, them moving on in their life and not re-visiting those terrible things from the past. So it's been something super cool. And this gets to this year where we were talking with a fella in Regina, this guy's larger in life. And he's like, I'm going to just do everything for you guys and we're going to make this amazing. So the goal for this year is, is Canada has been really shitty at this, is that we haven't been able to connect our veterans

that lost, like the guys that died. We haven't been able to bring their families in to be with the soldiers that were there when their kids are killed or their loved ones. And we want to close that loop this year where we're taking care of the families. and getting the soldiers connected to them and, you know, make, make the sacrifice important that where the families are welcome to be with the men and that were there when their, when their, when their loved ones are killed. So that's, that's huge. So we're actually flying people in from like all over the country that, that want to come.

It's been, it's been a hard sell just because it's been such a, you know, Canada basically hasn't been doing the right thing by inviting these people to regimental days and such for, so we're trying to fix that now. And I'm sure there's other veteran groups out there throughout the country that are doing that, and I hope they are. But anyway, so that's what we're doing this year on the 20th anniversary. So this guys are organized 11 bands to show up over three days. We got the lieutenant governor coming to do the opening ceremonies. my MLA is going to sing Oh Canada. It's going to be a great, a great three-day event.

And, yeah, just want everybody to know it's open to everybody. The people that soldiers serve is not the government in Ottawa. It's the day-to-day people that live amongst us that make this country worth fighting for. So we want those people to be involved in this event. So it's a free concert for everybody. Although it's $5 a pint, you'll be hard to get a $5 pint in any bar in the country. But it's going to be $5 here because we had a district brewery. They donated like 20 kegs or more.

I can't remember the actual number. So that money is going to go to paying for the bands and paying for the flights. And it's going to be awesome. So we can hold like 2,000 people out here. if people want to show up and come and enjoy it. It starts at 6 o'clock on Friday. I'll send you a link and maybe you could put it up on the website of where it is and what times and all the different bands playing.

So yeah, it's going to be a banger. 6 o'clock Friday, when? On the 31st of July. Okay. At Regina Beach. At Regina Beach. Yeah. And if you want to pitch a tent, we got places for tents.

You want to bring your trailer, bring your trailer. It's free camping for for anybody that wants to come. You won't get any power because all the powered spots have been booked up already. But it'll be like a mini craven out here. So yeah, just come and enjoy and yeah, make sure you got a bathroom in your trailer because for showers and such, there'll be porta-potties and stuff around for tenters, but you're not getting a shower unless you go down to the lake and go for a swim. But there's showers actually at the lake.

We have a beach house at the lake, so there's showers available. And it's just pre-camping all weekend. Yeah. And bring a lawn chair, sit on a lawn chair, enjoy their music, and it's going to be amazing. That sounds awesome. Yeah. Well, of course it is. We do awesome shit out here at Regina Beach.

We don't fuck her out. Okay. That's pretty cool. So am I allowed to come back on next four? Friday and I'll be more organized and I'll and I'll give you another update. Well, don't make promises you can't keep. But,

uh, but, uh, but yes. Yes. I, I know that this is a very difficult time of the day and of the week for you. Because usually you're cutting grass. Yes. So,

64 acres, Taves, not six feet and 20 feet long like in your driveway. I don't have any grass on my driveway. Okay, well then that makes it really easy for you. For me, it's different. Okay. Now, the yard itself has lots of grass.

Oh, okay. Do you cut it? Yes. Or is it hard? Or is it hard maneuvering around all the engine blocks and transmissions and shit you got in your backyard? I don't have any transmissions in my backyard. I am trans. You have no trannies?

No tranny. No, I've never blown a tranny in my yard.

Carney appoints one of his top advisors and a conservative MP to Senate.

That's very interesting because it doesn't go into the finer points of it. It's all burying the lead. So this guy whose name is Tom Pittfield was campaign manager for Carney, chief of staff. His wife is a member of parliament. and the greasy hand greases the greasy hand. But the other thing in here is that Richard Martel, and let me try that again, Richard Martel, got nominated to the Senate in a contentious Quebec rioting.

Now, remember when Sean and I were talking about this a few months ago, and I figured there was going to be a whole lot of floor crossers at the same time because that way you wouldn't have that last person getting off the flight, getting everything they could ever dream. But the one thing I didn't take into account is how fucking devious these guys are. I got to give props to Mark Carney for this. And I don't give them a lot of props for a lot of things. But this has been a very well executed,

just it's been a master stroke going over the past eight months. See, when I was doing my MBA in this one managerial strategy class, we had to cover how to lay people off and how to do it in a way that doesn't fuck things up. And basically the rule is, is that you need to be sure exactly what you need to do ahead of time so that you can get it all done and rip the bandaid off once cleanly. And then after the initial shock, everybody kind of goes back to their regular lives. What you absolutely do not, under any circumstances, want to do is draw it out more

longer than it needs to be, where it's more protracted and people are looking over their shoulders the whole time wondering, am I next? What's going on here? because the company just grinds to a halt. And it murders any sort of, well, productivity and happiness and fulfillment. And everybody thinks it sucks. But that's exactly what Mark Carney did to the conservatives with this. Because it's just been this slow trickle.

Think about it. Like the first floor cross was like November or December last year. And then now you've got one where, you know, it's great because you just nominate them to the Senate. and it has the exact same effect without him being painted as a floor crosser. And keep in mind that the Senate, like they get paid. Here's what it is. $185,000 a year with $30,000 in accommodation allowance. Now, it says tax-free, but that's the whole point of these allowances is that they're all tax-free.

$121 per-day meal allowance, free first-class via travel for themselves and family, tax-free anywhere in Canada, 64 free first class airfare round trips, personal vehicle expenses. The amount of money you make after tax on this job is probably more than you make when you're being taxed. And you get to keep this until you're 65. And here's the thing. Do you know what the job requirements are for a senator in Canada? Fuck all.

The last time they actually did something in Ottawa was in 1992. In 1992, the movie Lepricon came out in 1992, the first leprechaun with Jennifer Aniston. That's how old this is. And so you get to just hand somebody in a contentious writing, a cushy job for the rest of their fucking life. They don't ever have to worry about being accountable, being reelected, having to do a fucking thing. This is a country club that you get paid to attend. And it's yet another in a long trickle of protracted losses to basically layoffs, basically layoffs for the Conservative Party.

And I get the fact that nobody in the mainstream media is really smart enough or willing enough to honestly look at this and see it for what it is, because it isn't a failing, like what the hell could Pierre Polyev possibly offer that's going to compete with that list of benefits. Nothing, nothing, especially over the time frame. Polyev can say, okay, well, I can get you doing this until the next election and then hopefully you win it. But this guy is fucking set for life.

It's perfect. And so, yeah, it, uh, it checks every single box at the same time. It takes one of his, it takes one of Polyev pieces off. the chessboard. It demoralizes everybody else. And with a very stupid or intentionally misleading media covering it, it's going to get played as though it's Polyev's fault and not the fact that just like, who the fuck wouldn't take that deal? Oh, like, who, who in their right mind would not take that deal? And so it doesn't have to be politically neutral. It's just simply, fucking math. Now,

the condos we talked about last week, I'm not going to play this clip because it's in French and dubbed in English. And I don't know what it is about translating French to English, but there's always just like the long pauses. And then, oh, this is what he said. I don't know what it is about the last word in every French fucking sentence, but the entire meaning behind it is contained at the very end, which is a stupid way to set up a language. The whole point of language is to communicate clearly. You need to do it as well as possible, as cleanly as possible, as early as possible.

French has a whole bunch of just umbrella words. Like they don't have house and home. It's the same word for all of it. Your shanty, your shack, all of it is just that one word. And in English, a proper fucking language, you can make the distinction. That is an abode. That is a house. That is a home. And they all mean different things. Because nuance is completely lost on these frogs. And so anyway, this video is this guy talking.

His audio's cut out. And then there's just this lady waiting, pausing, pausing, pausing, pausing. And then when the last word of the sentence comes in, she actually knows what he's saying and is able to give it. It is fucking bizarre. Why anybody would do this is beyond me. The people who invented the metric system came up with this. as the way to barter and exchange and talk about the weather?

What the fuck is wrong with you, people? But the point of this video, without getting too far into the weeds, is that 15 days before that condo bailout happened, Brookfield bought a stake in that company. I tell you what, Brookfield is just the luckiest fucking organization in the history of the world. Could you imagine? You're just completely legitimate on the up and up.

15 days before this, you're looking at a development company that is sitting on hundreds or thousands of unsold units because the math that they built their projections on didn't hold up to either construction costs or the property values or, the red tape, something ended up being inaccurate. and what they feel like they want to sell it for is far too high than what the market is

willing to pay for it. And so for whatever reason, maybe you think you can turn it into a fucking golf course. Maybe you think that you can buy it, you can buy into it at a cheap enough rate that you can somehow turn that into, I don't know, make some changes and somehow flip it around. and then all of a sudden, out of the fucking sky, two weeks later, the government comes in and says, we're going to buy all of them. That is just the most fortuitous thing you could ever possibly imagine. Because also, when you're buying into that company, they're not.

So the public doesn't know that they're two weeks away from being saved by divine intervention. And so you're able to buy it for much less than what you would. after that had been announced. It's just an incredibly, incredibly lucky turn of events and should not be treated with any sort of suspicion. It's just the kind of thing that happens to everybody. Like this one, for example. This is in Surrey.

So, Counselor Mandip Negra, I don't know if I'm allowed to say that word on here. Mandit Negra calls for police investigation into city of Surrey $6.8 million purchase. He's calling for a full police investigation. I hate when they do this. The press release, they've got a headline and then it's also the first line. You're being redundant. Drop it.

Okay. So they bought, the city bought this property for $6.8 million, weeks after it was sold on the open market. for 3.35 million after being previously listed and unable to sell at 4.5 million. Now it says it all backwards. So here's the chain of events. This property gets listed for sale for $4.5 million. Nobody buys it. Nobody buys it. No fucking buyers. Nobody fucking buys it. The price drops. It's eventually bought for $3.35 million. And then weeks later, It's sold for literally double to the city.

This is the Regina overpass all over again. And so they want a full police investigation. And unless they can prove somehow that whoever bought this knew that the government was going to buy it or that they can prove somehow that the person who made the decision to buy it had some kind of a connection or had some kind of of a windfall gain or maybe a number came in account or something like that, they'll probably get away with it. And meanwhile, all of the hardworking truck drivers in Surrey are out $3.45 million. Do you have any idea how many flip-flops that could have bought them?

Shameful. Shameful. This is an interesting story. Tourists Italy Dream Vacation takes nightmare turn after she's kidnapped twice. in one day. Two completely unrelated events. Now, what happened is this Aussie was traveling to Italy and she was getting into a vehicle with a whole bunch of people that she thought everybody was going to this one place to go

kite surfing. And then dude, she was in the vehicle with just drives towards this gated compound. It goes completely off grid. And yeah, she gets scared, tries the door, finds out it's unlocked and manages,

to run out, just books it, realizes, okay, you know what, I've lost him, I'm not being followed, and then flags down a security guy. And the security guy speaks only something else. Anyway, it doesn't say. And so they're using the translate app on her phone. And then he says, okay, we'll give me the translate app, the phone. And then he goes, what are you going to do to me for? me driving you here and then she bails now the gas grass or ass has been a long-standing joke in the

world but i'm sure it actually happens in real life i don't think it qualifies as kidnapping but whatever fair enough but being kidnapped twice in one day if you run into an asshole in the morning you ran into an asshole if you ran into assholes all day long you're in a country with Too much migration. Now, Canada, I don't know if you know this or not. It has, oh, this is, what is this saying? I don't know. We're going to do a detour.

You got to be careful whenever you open something up live because you might see another headline where you're like, we're going to explore this together. And that's exactly what's happening now. This is P.P. Poooo Man of the Week, folks. Florida man allegedly dumps poop-filled backpack on ex-girl friend as payback for cheating. This is literally he

Rick and Mortyed her. Get your shit together, put it in a backpack, take it to a museum. This is what's happening. Okay. Daniel Nemeic, more like anemic. After allegedly

dumping a backpack full of human excrement. Okay. This isn't just like he went to some dog park and scooped up a whole bunch or just went to a farm and just grab some cow shit. I don't know how much time you need to invest into filling a backpack full of poop. But this isn't, this isn't just do it once and be done with it.

You need to be sitting there like, okay, it's time to go fill up the backpack a little bit more. And after weeks, maybe even months, I don't know. It depends how big the backpack is, I get, I guess. You could have some little tote bag or you might have like, what if it's a rucksack. So he's 20 and faces one charge of domestic violence strangulation and two charges of domestic violence battery and related to a number of alleged attacks.

The affidavit says a woman told police that she went to his home on June 2nd and had consensual sex with him. However, during the trist, the woman claimed he continued he slapped her face after she begged him to stop. Then on June 30th, she told, the police she'd been arguing with him when he strangled her, leaving her struggling to breathe after he let her go and alleged that he laughed at her and then at that point she decided to break up with him. She told a cop she went to stay with a friend in Margate, Florida after the attack,

returning the next day to get her belongings upon arrival. She was greeted by him who held her backpack up in the parking lot outside of his abode. He had urinated and defecated in the backpack while also filling it with ketchup, hot sauce, and other unknown fluids. I'm guessing Sharacha. According to court documents, he then allegedly dumped the bag's contents onto the woman. So had he been planning,

how long had he been planning this for? Because if they break up and she says, I'm going to go spend the night with my friend, and then she comes back the next day to get her shit, and he's already got a backpack full of poop? You can't. Did he like call 20 friends over? What is I this this is just bizarre.

We don't even need the the last part of it is just him trying to explain why he was slapping her during sex. But this is the article we actually came here for. Speaking of bags of shit. Canada tells investors we're not ready. Mark Carney government told the United Arab Emirates last month that it wasn't ready to move forward. on $70 billion in investments from the UAE into the Canadian economy because its major projects office set up in August hasn't approved any shovel-ready projects to invest in.

So let me get this straight. The UAE says they're going to invest $70 billion in Canada projects. And then Mark Carney sets up a specific office with commercial space and fancy people getting paid shit tons of money to make shit happen and get things approved. And then fast forward, well, it was set up in August.

So this is 11 months ago. You have one job. You need to do this specific thing. 11 months later, you haven't done any version of that thing. Despite the fact that Mark Carney, the aforementioned bag of shit,

said that we were going to be building at speeds, not seen in generation. Well, technically, Mark Carney, zero is a speed. So you're not totally wrong. But seriously? You go to all this trouble to throw as much bureaucracy at this as possible. 11 months later, Bupkiss to show for it.

And you're turning away $70 billion of investment because the red tape hasn't been cleared yet. while we are in a technical recession. This is the genius banker. This is the genius, you know, Ph.D. in economics from Oxford who played on the hockey team for like one shift. This guy? This guy is letting a lot. This guy just let $70 billion pass his five hole. And meanwhile, we're taking it in the six hole.

Jesus. What is wrong with this guy? and more importantly, what is wrong with the people who vote for them? And this is how things like this manifest. More than 40% of Canadian manufacturers wing moved to US KPMG poll fines. 57% of these are not investing in any capital projects in Canada. They're not doing any sort of expansion. They don't have anything earmarked.

That's not, we're not doing it this week or we're not doing it next year. that's we have no future plans. The idea of a business is that you want it to grow. And if you're manufacturing things, presumably, the more things you can manufacture, the more money you make, which means that you get to have a sweeter car and a sweeter car and a sweeter car

because if you make this many things, you get a fiat. And if you make this many things, you get a Kia. And if you make this many things, you get a Toyota. and if you make this many things, you get a Lexus. And if you make all of the things, you get a 1972 stingray.

Okay? And that's the light at the end of the tunnel. And 57% of manufacturing companies in Ontario are just saying, fuck it. We're good with the Fiat. It's not worth the effort. In what sane planet? Do you just say, fuck it, good enough?

At what point do your shareholders, the people who actually own pieces of that company say, what the fuck is wrong with you? I am hoping to get a return on this investment. I want the business to grow. I want it to do well. And you're like, there is nowhere we can take this in this country. And they said, well, what about the $70 billion? Well, it hasn't been approved.

Why has that happened? Why hasn't that happened? Well, because the fast track office only opened 11 months ago and the giant bag of shit that was replicated in Florida doesn't have a fucking idea what he's doing. We're going to talk about separation for a little bit here. So for those of you listening and not watching, there is a company called Alberta Realty.

And they had a for sale sign up. Looks like it's by an acreage. and from Ty Wilson we expect this type of bravery from the elbows up crowd but still you wonder if they realize we're a real estate company those signs are expensive as hell could you do me a favor and pass that along so that I can at least get some advertising out of it

one last time before I cough up for a new one never let a good crisis go to waste as they say p.S thanks to our buddy Corey Morgan for the heads up So I guess we're passing along too. Alberta Realty, Realtor Ty Wilson, 780, 7811744. And that's just a damn shame. But it really speaks to this on a lot of different levels. Because in a lot of ways, I feel like the only way you would still support

Alberta and Saskatchewan staying in Canada at this point is if you can't fucking read. And if you can't fucking read, then you would just be crossing out random words on a sign because it's blue. So it tracks. It tracks. Oh, you want Alberta to stay in Canada? Well, you're fucking illiterate. Okay.

Well, you vandalize a realty for sale sign. because it's blue and it says Alberta on it. Obviously, you're fucking illiterate. I think it's wonderful. Every time one of these things happens, it just moves another person over. Now, last night, last night was the debate between Derek and Dwayne. And there was a couple interesting things that happened.

One of them was when Dwayne Bratt, which by the way props to him for actually showing up and doing this but Dwayne Bratt well I'll just let him speak for himself here okay back to Dwayne here for a minute so Mr. Philibrand said that the reason that there were people and money leaving Quebec was not due to referendums but the fear that a independent Quebec

would discriminate against minorities in this case the English minority rewind the live stream back to Mr. Phil de Brand's opening statement where he seemed to strongly attack immigration. I'm looking around this room. I don't see a whole lot of non-white Albertans in here. Right?

So when we talk about no, seriously here. He's mad at them? Because he just kind of low-key calling them all racist and they get mad that they're that they're booing and hissing and the other ones at 100 minute 25 25 given the risk is on

Mr. Phil de Brand to convince you why you need to go now I will acknowledge it's a lot more fun to be a separatist so. So, then you might not like equalization in the province of Alberta that does the same thing. The onus is not on me to show why we need to stay in Canada.

The onus is not on him to show why we need to stay in Canada. He's literally at a debate to talk about why we should stay in Canada. Whether you think the onus is on you or not, objectively, you signed up to do fucking thing and you're not doing the fucking thing. By the way, yeah, like I said, Dwayne Bratt, good job for actually showing up and doing it in all sincerity. Although it was kind of funny.

I'm not sure if Derek meant it to be a dig, but he kind of just low-key mentioned during the debate that he was, Dwayne was like the third or fourth choice. So, yeah, I bet you he feels really cool about that. So, Anyway, we've got the last call lights up choice here saying,

I don't need to make this argument. Yes, the fuck you do. Okay? Because if you're saying I shouldn't have to say why we should stay in Canada, the only reasonable way you can make that is if you're presuming that it is a well-functioning machine. That, well, if you want to explain to me why you want to leave our trade deals, I shouldn't have to explain why you want to keep the trade deal. What fucking trade deals?

Kusma isn't being renegoat. It isn't being renewed. Okay. Oh, I shouldn't have to explain why I should want to stay in a country that is turning away tens of billions of dollars because the red tape that is moving at speeds not seen in generations hasn't had a chance to clear all up in 11 months. Yeah, you absolutely fucking do need to make that argument, Dwayne. You need to spell that out because there's a lot of people here.

who aren't understanding why, aside from nostalgia, and if you happen to perhaps work at an organization who receives millions of dollars from the government every year, like Mount Royal, why you would feel the need to stay in Canada, okay? A trillion dollars has left this country in the past decade. Something like, what was it? like 50% or something like that of the top 1%

of earners in this country have left forever. And a whole bunch of the top 10% have left as well. That's getting pretty close to a death loop. So explain to me why, aside from the patriotism towards a flag that has no bearing on this half of the continent is relevant. Explain it to me.

Because the onus absolutely is on you, especially Dwayne, when you are in an actual debate about why we should stay in Canada. That is literally the perfect time and perfect place for you to lay out your arguments that you volunteered to stand up in front of the entire crowd and orate. Enrand. The pipeline. The deal keeps getting worse. The most overlooked aspect of the new West Coast pipeline could be the most consequential jackmints in the hub. So the deal is, is that apparently BC doesn't want this pipeline. And because BC doesn't want this pipeline,

BC needs to be paid to allow this pipeline to happen. Now, it's completely out of their jurisdiction. They don't have a fucking say in it. Okay? As far as the rules go in Canada, you're supposed to be able to trade interprovincially unimpeded. That's the point. That's the whole point of Confederation.

That's why, in theory, we're this big, giant, stupid, ugly group is so that we can do things together. And some of that's got to have some give and take. Like, for example, everything that comes off a train in BC gets to travel across Alberta to fucking Quebec. maybe we don't want the trains running through here to fucking Quebec.

But we can't, we explicitly cannot put up a toll booth on the rail line as much as we would want to. We cannot set up a discriminatory toll booth at the Alberta border that just targets BC license plates. You can't do that. but in order to be in the illusion that we are a province where anything at all gets fucking accomplished, we have to pay extortion money to BC. At what fucking point have we decided maybe we paid enough fucking extortion money? Do you think maybe equalization might be just another form of that? It's money that goes out of our pocket for the privilege of example of,

existing in Confederation under the presumed auspice that we can conduct trade within it. And we've got to pay on top of that? What's the benefit of being in Confederation? If we've already got to pay just to exist within it and we've got to pay to conduct commerce within it, that's exactly how you would treat a foreign country. So why are we acting like a foreign country when we make deals and acting like part of a happy group when it comes time to pay every fucking bill.

It just baffles me. I get the fact that the NDP you're stupid. They're retards. I just, for those of you who are going to be tuning in, I think Monday or something like that, I think you might get a double dose of twos. Sean and I sat down the other day

and we were talking about how stupid it is because it really does open up a can of worms. Because if you're going to say this interprovercial trade, it's not even this intra-provincial trade because other pipelines don't fall underneath this. It's the new one with Alberta gets this. And none of the other ones do in any way, shape, or form.

You're basically signaling to everybody in Canada that Alberta is not treated fairly. And I bet you the BC NDP think this is a win. David Eby is probably just like, la-la-la, this is wonderful. we're going to get a bunch of money and then we can spend it all on crack so that we have more crack babies

because it's statistically proven that crack babies are more likely to vote NDP. That's great, but what's the second order effect? First off, you're going to see something retaliatory. Remember when people were blocking rail lines and how much money that cost the country? Maybe those will come back. maybe you will see a toll booth, even if it's just something performative,

you're going to see something. This isn't going to happen in a vacuum. But while whatever is happening happens, everybody in Canada is going to look at that and be like, wait. So even after all of this and they're still trying to say, oh, yeah, we can actually get things done. And pipelines work in this country, it's not the pipeline. Again, it's not the pipeline.

The pipeline is the symptom. Confederation is the disease. And when you've got to go through this much song and dance and hoops, you need an MOU, you need multiple press announcements, you need to cut a special deal with BC just to fucking get the wheels moving on this thing. Confederation's done. It's done. Tell me it's not after looking at this.

And looking at this. So apparently there's another pipeline that's going to roughly follow Energy East announced. Isn't it funny how they just keep replaying the old classics? They're like Hollywood right now. Can't come up with anything new. And so you've got a picture of this is from the Globe and Mail. Doug Ford riding on top of this like it's, you know, a pony or a ride or something like that. And it's Daniel Smith done up like early.

Ursula in dripping oil everywhere, except her tentacles are pipe. And so, yeah, I mean, the implication is pretty fucking obvious. And it's interesting that he actually went to the trouble. If you look at the background, you can see what looks exactly like one of the old strip miners from the museum in Fort Mac. Not the pristine well that takes up absolutely no space and goes out directionally for miles in every direction. not that, not the fishbone technology they developed to decrease the surface footprint even further. They go with the one thing, the antiquated model of the one thing that represents something

like 0.3% of the Boreal forest, a rounding error. And it gets special mention in this. The millions of dollars that Globe and Mail gets every year. he just wrote an editorial making fun of him the fuck is wrong with this guy you don't bite the hand that feeds you but here's the thing is they're way past biting the hand that feeds them they're literally shitting in a bag

over an extended period of time and then mixing in shirotcha sauce and then dumping it on us when we're saying we're out we just want to grab our shit and leave this is what's happening I'm really glad I found that article. Now, Elections Alberta's had a really interesting week. So they're faced with this conundrum because the Forever Canada third party advertiser

hasn't released any of their spending receipts or anything like that. So it's just been a black box where they're actually required to disclose spending. And they haven't done any of it yet. And so now Elections Alberta came up with this referendum advertising. interpretation bulletin. Why they didn't do this before? I don't know. I mean, it's really interesting.

They knew that this was coming up along the way. It's not the first petition that, it's not the first referendum that Alberta's had, and yet they need to square this circle. So they say things like a flag alone is not advertising. Either way. Similarly, statements such as celebrate Alberta, send a message to Ottawa or celebrate Canada

or forever Canada maybe? Is that where you're going with this? Do not constitute referendum advertising. So maybe we should just all get signs that say Mark Carney is a rooster slurper. Or Ottawa is a giant dickhole. Or we can't afford to be here anymore. Or the culture is just fundamentally different.

We're just completely different. people. Could you imagine if in Alberta you had a company that spent 11 months trying to figure out what the fuck it wanted to do? It's completely incomprehensible. I mean, they're based in Calgary, but that is not, that is not the work ethic that anybody in any serious position has. yet here we are. I'm probably getting a little bit long-winded, though. So there's a data center that just got announced. It's east of Gibbons a little ways.

Facebook's going to spend a few billion dollars building it right where all the oil and gas flows. So they just tap into it, buy the gas, and power it there. Now, here is one of the, claims being made against it. First off, it's geographically incorrect. But forget that for a second. Ground zero for the UCP Hellscape Data Center,

built beside a forest, sickening. Here's the picture. And you can see very clearly, it's not where it's actually being built, but you can see clearly in the picture that there is a place called Jurassic Forest. I didn't realize

that there is a Jurassic Forest in Northern Alberta. that's so crazy. I bet you it's probably just full of lush trees, giant trees, and all kinds of forest stuff, right? It's a dinosaur amusement park, folks. You can book a field school trip there. These are the people.

That lady's vote for separation is going to count just as much as yours. And I just want you to appreciate how fucking dumb some of these people are. Now, for those of you who haven't been following Graham Platner, he's got a Nazi tattoo on his chest and has been accused of a lot of sexually bad things including this is this is you know when I say the liberals don't care who wins as long as it's their guy

this is insane my part of the story was just a read over and the story was Lindsay and the accusations against her being politically motivated she was torn over coming forward in part because she agrees with Platner politically. One of the reasons I didn't come forward sooner was the huge moral conflict that I had

between supporting his politics but not supporting him as a politician. This is a woman who alleges that this man raped her and she didn't want to come forward because they had the same views on fiscal policy. This is how deranged these people are. Lisa says, but think of the dinosaur is probably going to go extinct twice.

I wonder if that's what happened I there's there's room for like a really funny Jurassic Park movie where it's not so much the um the running and screaming and getting eaten in the foreground

that is continuing to happen in the background and then you have like a bunch of Greenpeace protesters saying they can't go extinct twice and dinosaurs are people too man All right. And here we have the South American who plummeted to their death of the week. Flight instructor jumps to his death during lesson, leaving student pilot to land plane by herself. Yes.

This guy apparently grabbed his phone and then jumped out of the plane and plummeted to his death. And she had to land the plane by herself. Now, the tricky thing with this is I get the fact. that she landed the plane by herself. But I feel like a big part of this issue is that when it comes to women pilots, he probably determined that his chances of survival were better at a free fall than they were with her in the cockpit.

And it's a shame that it didn't work out for him and that she actually did manage to land the plane in all our irony. But I would probably do the exact same thing if I ever had a female pilot. I don't blame him one bit. maybe have a parachute or even a single shoot. You don't need a pair of them. But this is exactly, yeah, totally, totally normal behavior.

Not the least bit surprised. City of Calgary has had 70 noise complaints so far during the 2026 stampede. Ladies and gentlemen, I would recommend, even if you don't live in Calgary, call the city of Calgary and complain to them about the noise. and how it isn't loud enough. Because this is just a couple of karens. 70 people in a city of 1.4 million plus all of the extra people that are staying there during the stampede

and 70 complaints. Not necessarily 70 people, 70 complaints? 20 people call up the city a couple times and tell them that the music needs to be louder. They're not going to know what to do. Could you imagine? Like the bureaucrat, they probably don't even have room on the floor.

form for that. Like, you want things to be more fun? No, no, no, we're the city. We just do lame shit. Yeah. I wonder if we could do that. Maybe I'll do that at the end, if I remember. Now, here's another of the week thing.

Jason Kenny taking a very soft, easy take on a stupid person and their poorly thought out ideas of the week in hopes of him eventually crawling his way back to relevance, where he can perhaps become leader of the opposition. Here he is. Account I'm muted. Oh, it's her. They're talking about the idea of having the public private health care thing. And so he just says plainly what everybody already knows,

but doesn't quite talk about if you're a liberal or an NDP or the mainstream media. It's a completely safe take. Everything's totally factual in it. But it looks like he's taking... He's supposed to look like he's eating an apple. And instead, he's just eating a bag of shit. Virtually every healthcare system in the developed world has a... Actually, you know what? I should do his voice.

G.B. Do Jedi. Or... Randy, why do you always got to take my cheeseburgers? Virtually every healthcare system in the developed world has universal public cheeseburgers but permits various forms of private cheeseburger. The social democracies of Cheeseburger Navy, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand,

Japan and South Korea and bubbles. Canada is an extreme outlier in trying to maintain a rigid state of monopoly that prevents innovation driving desperate Canadians to seek care outside our country and the trailer park as a whole. I'm not even going to read the rest of it, but it's just I've been calling it as I see it. Alberta leads Canada and gendered pay gap.

Women in Alberta earns 64 cents for every dollar men make annually. Well done, gentlemen. If we keep working harder, we could probably get that down to 60 within a few years, right? Because this is a completely valid measurement of everything taken into account. Right, right, right, right, right. Okay, Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives. Oh, that left wing federally funded organization. Yeah, okay.

National average is 72 cents. And in Alberta, it's 64 cents. Well, how did they come to that conclusion? The report based those findings off of 2024 annually and 2025 hourly information from Statistics Canada. And it goes on to say that they just looked at, okay, yeah. Okay, so 2024 annually and 2025 hourly. Who has the highest hourly wages in Canada? I'm going to say it's people like welders and rigors, things like that, where there's like

five women who do it across the country. So you're not saying, here's the thing, is it's just saying, are you a woman? How much money do you make? Are you a man? How much money do you make? It doesn't say, how many hours did you work? It doesn't say, is it for a comparable job? Because a male derrick hand and a female derrick hand have a wage pay gap of literally

fucking zero. that's it. Roughneck. Female roughneck makes the exact same as a male roughneck, which makes the exact same as a transgender roughneck. All of it is just across the board. It's just that there aren't that many chick roughnecks, and there's a whole lot more chick, I don't know.

Estheticians, I'm not trying to find something, I'm not trying to shoot on anybody's job or anything like that, but I'm just, I'm guessing it doesn't pay as much hourly. but you're going to do this study and pretend it has in any way, any relevancy to real life, it doesn't compare people at similar stages in their careers. Like, okay, how much, how much were you making in that office job five years into it compared to how much was she making at that office job five years into it?

Okay. Are we comparing the credit, the amount of qualifications you had going into it, whatever degrees? Okay, does that line up? Once you start putting apples to apples. The only noticeable dip, this was a study in Denmark, the only noticeable dip in the pay gap is due to childbirth. And yeah, I get the fact, I get the fact that,

that does disproportionately affect women. But there's not much anybody can do about that. Now, Mom Dami, who's a fucking idiot. So what happened was, was that a guy got shot by ICE agents. Again, he got shot by them because he got shot by them, because he was trying to drive one of them over again. Lorenzo Salgado Arrujo called Houston his home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ice agent shot and killed him.

His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door. New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full independent investigation and real accountability. the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear we agree with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice. He's mad that an illegal immigrant

whose family were illegal immigrants learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door. I don't care how many people you have lined up to knock on doors of dead people. If they're there illegally, they don't know that they're there. there. That's the whole point. If you're, if you're in Houston for 35 years and you haven't

been kicked out yet, despite being there illegally, it's because they don't fucking know that you're there. You're an illegal immigrant. Do you think that we should have registries for the illegal immigrants? I think we should, but not so that we can notify families. You're mad because they found out about it on the news when the people involved had no. way of finding you because you were existing off grid or at least off record. These people, these people are wonderfully dumb. The men's World Cup, $12.8 million payout will be shared with women's team after equal pay CBA.

I don't know what that is. But, yeah, the men got $12.8 million for placing however they did in the World Cup. I haven't really been watching it. I don't really give a shit. All I'm waiting for is for. Belgium to lose so that I can make a joke about Belgian waffles. And that's it. I don't care about the rest of it.

Random side note, Emily Radichikowsky sells spicy book, motherfucker in 12-way bidding war for seven figures after essay on her single sex life goes viral. I kind of want to read that book. That's the chick from the blurred lines video. Now, for those of you who want to know more about the women's soccer team in the United States and how deserving they are of this,

longtime listeners of 222 minutes before there was a mashup, we'll know that we talked about this soccer game where the FC Dallas under 15 boys squad beat the U.S. Women's National Team 5-2. The women's national team that is entitled to 50% of what the men earned, not to make 50% of what the men earned, but half of that money that the men would have otherwise gotten is going to them. and they lost to a team of boys,

not a single one of which was older than 14. That's a lot. That's pretty bad. Chestermear, for those of you in and around, Chestermeer, shout out to Zane. Chestermeer, RCP, investigate indecent acts. Multiple indecent acts. Not a lot of info here.

Not a lot of info. The suspect is described as between, 20 and 40 years old with a slim build. Anything else defining, any other defining characteristics? Any other defining characteristics at all? Maybe you could tell us what exactly it was he was doing that was an indecent act. Maybe you could give us an accurate description of what the guy looks like and maybe what he looked like while he was doing this indecent act multiple times.

We just want to have honest conversations, folks. Petition calls on federal government to end funding for. for official opposition leaders, Ottawa residents. The petition launched by a Victoria resident, sponsored by Green Party leader Elizabeth May has received 15,000 signatures. Elizabeth May put this forward. And it's weird because like on the one hand, end funding for official official opposition leaders, Ottawa residents.

Yeah, sure, absolutely. I don't know how much we pay for that, but I guess, I'm guessing it's a fuck ton. Why not make that the prime minister's residence and then just give Pollyev some kind of an allowance. Let him live where he wants to live. And if it's already a historical place and 22 Sussex is a shit show, move them there.

But this is Elizabeth May. Why does she care about this? What is going on with this woman? Why can't she just ever be normal? Okay. Like if you spent half as much time focusing on oral hygiene as you did on stupid shit, maybe with enough time and effort, you would no longer look like a cartoon character who just got hit in the face with an anvil.

And now, folks, we go to the weather desk for our tallywacker wacky weather of the week. Hard times coming from Midwest as massive storm could pound Heartland. well done well done and look at that there is a giant weiner that is about to go all the way up in lake michigan lake huron more like lake get it on anyways um i don't know why this keeps happening i feel like the weather people are starting to do it on purpose which i totally would but anytime there's a big weather pattern they always seem to draw out the shape of a weiner Anyways, folks, that's been our show. Thank you very much for coming along.

And I'm going to talk to Jamie about getting something in the show notes about the event. There's other community notes, which I totally forgot to look at. So I'm sorry, no community notes this week. But thanks a lot, folks. And I'll see you later.
