I really need to get Sean to tell me which button he pushes for the music at the start. So, funny thing, I was fucking with a new guy at work. And just so happy to be standing in the exact right spot. So people don't always know this about twos, but he has slightly better than 2020 vision. And so if something's far away, it isn't for these old eyeballs. Anyway, so there was this clock way off in the day. distance that he probably couldn't even see, but I could read. And so I was just looking up at the sun and telling him exactly what time it was at various points throughout the day. And he was

just baffled by this. He'd never seen anything like it. And then the next day, we weren't in that same spot anymore. And he wanted me to keep going. And so I'm like, fuck. I mean, I can't, because I don't have the thing to trick him with anymore. And so I was like, well, you know what? It was like quarter to four ballpark. And I'm like, so I do the whole act and I look up at the sky. I look up at the sun and I go, it's 433. And he takes out his phone. He looks at it.

And he's like, how do you do this? It was dumb luck. That last one was dumb luck. The first ones I was cheating. I was tricking your ass. But then for some reason it worked out perfectly that I managed to get it exactly right down to the minute. It was wonderful. And we are joined today by the Holmes's.

The Holmes' disease? The Holmes' disease. Yeah. Sure. So for those of you don't know, well, I mean, it says it right up there anyway, too, but Mike, Maddie, and Macy, thanks for coming on.

You guys are replacing Sean, which is good by me. Well, that's tough shoes to fill. That's why there's three of us. It takes three of us to make up one person. John, yeah. I mean, he's as short as he is wide. We have to fill it all out.

Yeah, he's roughly spherical. He's well-rounded. He's well-rounded. He's very well-rounded. He's got to get all the way from Newfoundland to Halifax, get on a plane, fly back to Calgary to buy a new vehicle. And, yeah, the whole interprovincial trade thing. Oh, wait, wait, we're joined by a special guest today.

Happy birthday to you Anyway, that's It was It was It uh Happy birthday So anyways

So anyway. So that's about it For Sean He's he's Happy birthday I think he's like 44 now Double dues

Hello Holmes clan. Bye, Sean. Cues is just messing with buttons right now. Okay, what do you want? I thought I'd just stop and say it. Happy birthday and hope you got the music figured out. That's all.

He didn't. He didn't get the music figured out. No. No. How are the Holmes clan doing? Good, man. We were under the impression we were going to try to fill your shoes and we were like, that's a tough thing to do.

You are going to fill my shoes because I'm stuck in traffic right now. Nova Scotia has been something and but we're off the rock and we're on to the mainland and we're slowly making our way. So I thought it stopped being stuck in traffic like in Nova Scotia. I'm guessing it involves a boat. I can't figure out we were stuck in the traffic for like an hour this morning and we got there and I couldn't have told you what was going on because I didn't see any construction and then we just carried on and we're stuck in traffic again. so I don't know. Well, I mean, they're not exactly known for,

and this early in the date, oh, no, I guess it's, it's like noon or one. It's one o'clock here. Yeah. So, I mean, everybody's starting to get up at that point and go about their day in the Maritimes. That's, you know. Maybe there's a pothole being fixed and they're just trying to allocate Alberta's money to figure out which one to fix. Yeah, they all had to stand around being like, do we want to,

do we want to use Alberta's money for this one? Yeah. I don't know. Let's get a couple more people to come here to take a look. Well, I won't hold up the show. I just wanted to stop in. Say hello and say thank you to you fine folks for stepping in. Yeah, you let us know if you're coming back to Calgary. Yeah, you got to come and see us on your way back. There's your road trip.

We put it out in the universe. There's your road trip right there, Sean. Yeah? Well, I'll be back in Calgary tonight, Lord Willen. so for a very brief stint. But more to come on that. It doesn't have to be that quick. But I mean,

like we know that sooner or later, you got to come back home, so you should come through Calgary on your way home. All right. Sounds good. Well, you guys have fun, and I'll stop interjecting on this.

Tews, take her away. We'll see you later, buddy. It's your birthday, and you didn't tell us? It is his birthday. The devil dude. It's a whole. A whole lot of twos.

Just chucking them backstage as he talks about how old you are. This is how it goes. Yeah. So 22 grew up into 44? Yeah, yeah, basically. Same birthday as Mark Hamill and Will Smith. That used to be a lot cooler back in the day. Yeah.

Also, Catherine Zita Jones and Michael Douglas. Hmm. Yeah. That's a lineup. Sure is. Anyway. Well, happy birthday. Thanks.

Lots of people think it's August 10th because that's what it says on Twitter. But that's just because August 10th is the 22nd day of the year. Oh. That's actually kind of smart. Yeah. So anyway. Sneaky. Yeah.

Well, just having fun with it. So, yeah. Basically, here's me. I can have a drink at 10 o'clock in morning. Day drinking. All right. Coot's 6.5. Toronto Man acquitted in cannabis-induced choking act on young girl.

Did you guys see this? Did you hear about it? No. Enlighten me. Okay. So this guy has apparently issues with sleepwalking and the anxiety it gives him. And so he, um, smoked a marijuana

and it caused him to go crazy take off all of his clothes he ran outside wearing only a towel lost the towel found some random seven year old girl on the street pushed her down was trying to choke her saying I'm not going to kill you

and then saying I'm going to kill you and yelling a bunch of weird stuff about Allah took off running and when the cops found him a few minutes later or however like a half hour later or whatever. He was wearing only a t-shirt. So he was running around Donald ducking it.

And I don't know where he found the t-shirt. Because he didn't go home, presumably. Otherwise, they would have found him at home. And so his plea was that it wasn't that, you know, I shouldn't be charged with anything crazy. The marijuana made me do it. He got the reefer madness. The propaganda movie from like the 30s that the states did.

apparently is also a legal defense in Canada at this point. But cannabis, I mean, I've had a pretty good relationship with that product in my past. And so did many of the people that I called friends at that time. And I don't recall that type of psychosis. So the product has, has it evolved? I was going to say, like, what are they putting in it today? Oh, my God. Are we lacing it with fennel now in those things or what?

psilocybin maybe? I don't know. I don't know. I just. Well, it couldn't have been fentanyl because otherwise he would have been doing the lien. Yeah, he would have just fallen off. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it wouldn't have enough drink to go after a seven-year-old girl. But yeah, this is a good enough legal defense in Canada to get you away from any serious consequences from your actions. So if you're ever going to do like a heist or something like that, you know, if you ever, you know, perfect heist, whatever it is, You're going to run the, you're going to sneak into fucking Quebec and get our money back, whatever it is. You just, you just smoke one of the spliffs on your way out.

And then if you ever get caught, you'd be like, I'm sorry, I was high. Well, maybe we can get our money back legally through the independence push. That would also work. Yes, absolutely. Get it back? Nah, they're going to keep what they just. from us. Let's just stop bringing it to them. Well, I mean, it's, it's funny because you got this, this ongoing discussion of,

now you've got like the three different costed reports out. And all of them cumulatively would say that the, the costs of leaving Canada are less than the $400 billion number that Daniel Smith gave out. If you added up all of the three major ones together, it's still less than the number Danielle Smith gave. Yeah. Three times over, actually, because like, the first report was $400 million. And then I think it was down.

That wasn't a report. That was her just saying it off the cuff and a... Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Nothing like official, but I mean, you know, you're sput it off. Maybe she was smoking some cannabis. I don't know. I can't be held legally responsible for that number because I got high.

Yeah, exactly. Like, just imagine you get arrested and the judge is like, how do you plea? And you just press play on Afro-Man. I was going to put pants on, but I got high. And now I'm choking a seven-year-old. And I know why. Because I got high. Because I got high.

Because I got high. Because I got high. La-la-la-la-la-la. Oh, God. Jeep. I get those references. It's a song that is older than either one of you. Yeah.

Yeah, he showed us the movie, what was it with Michael Douglas, where he went nuts in society? Falling down. Yeah. He showed him. He didn't go nuts. He went totally normal. He had a insane and rational response at every point. along the way.

Except for the need to pull a gun on his ex-wife. Yeah. Okay, fair enough. But, like, tell me you haven't thought about that movie every time you get fast food. He's like, we don't get fast food. Okay, well, that's probably the only reason why you haven't done it in real life. Because you go in there and you're like, those years are behind. That's the picture.

and this is the burger. Yeah. That's how I feel about Canada. That's totally hit. They're painted as the juicy burger, and I'm just like, what is this flat fucking patty right here? What is this?

Classic macy. Yeah, with cricket meat. Yep. Mm-hmm. What's that? Compressed particle board. MDF. MDF protein.

It's never as advertised. I mean, Mississippi just passed us in terms of GDP per capita as a nation. So now if you put Canada on a chart with all 50 states, we're literally the 51st state when it comes to GDP. There isn't a single state in the entire United States with $375 million where the average income isn't higher than that. than it is in Canada. Wow. And that's why the young people are leaving. Yeah, right?

Yep. Yeah. Sounds like the policies of Canada are going exactly as planned. Well, in one sense, I would say you're right. I think that I, everybody gets mad at me when I get into this. So raise yourself. I don't think the primary directive of the policies, was to destroy Canada.

I think that the primary directive of the policies was to get elected and stay elected and obtain as much power as possible but with the inevitable secondary effect of it also cratering the entire fucking country. I mean, that's what the liberals did. The conservatives did it at a slower speed. I mean, they still made a shit ton of mistakes.

They still did a bunch of things that were for their own self-interest, rather than the betterment of the country. So it's not something that one party does and the other ones don't. But I don't know, to me anyway, you guys feel free to tell me I'm wrong. No, you're like, honestly, I think it's accurate.

Yeah, it's like from their perspective, these policies, it isn't about destroying Canada. It is about garnering more money for their EU agenda. And that to us looks like downstream, destroying Canada, but that's because we have a subjective version of reality. Yeah, because we look at things and we say this doesn't make any damn sense. Yeah. Why you do me dirty?

I mean, you're going to bring up something about made later on, but I think that that one's a little bit more on purpose. And that's definitely destroying some people's lives. Well, they say it is, you know, equalizing. Like a little Thanos. Perfectly balanced is all. Yeah. No, no, no. The extra to add to that is equalization.

That's a deflationary because it's easy to not pay your debts when you murder your citizens. It's all about the money. Well, I mean, the thing that really ties it back for me with Maid is that you know how quite often in this country you'll see news articles come out just floating the idea? There'll be just some random news article out of left field where you're like, who even thought this was an interesting thing to write? And it's presumably because the government wants to find out if people think it's a bad idea or not. And when Maid was first starting to pick up steam, there was this article that came out talking about how much money it could save in healthcare. Yeah, I remember that article. litmus test.

And I think that that's basically it. It's, you know, you've reached the end of your useful life. And we're not going to continue to care for you. We're not going to continue to ensure that you have a happy sunset years or anything like that. We're going to push you out on an iceberg. We're going to do the, we're going to do things the Eskimo way here.

Yeah, I was listening to a, Re-listing to Deney Rancourt's presentation that he gave when Lougheed's UCPCA held the injection of Truth Town Hall, the second one. Yeah. And he had said after some of the COVID measures, not even just the not the injections or the gene therapies, just the measures that hospitals and hospices were doing to the elders. He said they killed so many of them that the average death rate. of people within that age group dropped below zero. So they weren't even dying on the average

that people that age usually do every day. Because they killed so many of them. There wasn't more to die. There wasn't enough left to die on an average basis. That's how many they killed in one spurt. It's like, oh my God. Silver lining.

Silver lining. Lots of those people seem to be the elbows up forever Canada people. Two. Here's one. And they not only that, but then they also have made to look forward to. Because they pretty much get it suggested at like every single doctor's meeting.

It's like, oh, you got to wait three months for an operation? Or we got some good need for you. Well, that's basically, go ahead. We don't know if it was like some poor grandma that her, you know, her kids put her in there. because they don't want to deal with her no more. Maybe she's not even cohesive and coherent enough that she fathoms what's going on, but now she's not here.

But she'll vote. Canada and the U.S. just seem to take completely opposite stances on everything, including this, where like in Canada, we're like, oh, did you just sneeze? Let's murder you. Did you just say you're feeling listless?

We've got a cure for that. And meanwhile, in the States, they're like Mitch McConnell, we are going to pump you up full of so many drugs and whatever else and just raise your hand weekend at Bernie's style. And meanwhile, anytime he's just like, he's going to have like almost illegible because his handwriting is so shaky. notes he's going to pass to the staffers saying like let me die it's basically like the um it's the plot line of source code did you guys ever see that movie oh jillenhole yeah yeah i've seen oh it's a great

movie i don't think i don't know if i've seen it it's got that wicked hot chick from kiss kiss bang bang michel mckel on ahead and uh anyway uh it's it's like a groundhog day type movie and it's really good and i thoroughly enjoy it's it's it's like 50 15 years old, so I'm not going to ruin what happens. But you would never expect a movie that could, would have Russell Peters in it. Anyway, but you kind of find out that they've basically just been Mitch McConnelling this poor bastard.

Well, they had so much success with Biden, hopping him up on drugs while he was in cargner to decline. They're like, hey, we got a good thing going here. Well, that's why made to me is a little bit weird, because I'm like, you guys were getting so much money by continually feeding these people, their drugs. And like you get a profit every time. So I'm like, if you kill them though, then they don't have the drugs to continually

keep on consuming. And I'm like, what's going on there? Well, they just need them for the voter registry. That's that and that's the thing is that, you know, if you're going to vote liberal or Democrat or whatever, you don't necessarily have to be alive to do that. Well, that's why that's why Mitch McConnell they're working so hard to keep him alive. he's a Republican. Well, and it may see if, I mean, if their spending is still out, out rising their, the revenue coming in,

it's like they're not willing to stop the money laundering that they're doing and all that. So it's like it doesn't, even with all of the fraud that's going on to gain money with all the procedures that they do and the C-sections, it still doesn't make up for the amount of money that they need to continue all of their schemes. And so they need to. That's why they have to sell airports. Yeah.

Well, I mean, the only thing saving the vast majority of people in this country at this point is that Brookfield isn't substantially into health care. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, where we were talking about with this was that this woman in Canada got allegedly euthanized against her well, died covered in her own blood after botched. first attempt. Yeah. Yep. So the consent

form that she signed was done without any of her family around. Found out after the fact or and then or not after the fact, but found out after it had been signed. And then the kids were trying to talk to her.

Do you know that you're going to die on Friday? And she had no idea. She was oblivious. and so I mean there's either she didn't know that she'd signed up for it because somebody else did it for her or she didn't have the mental capacity to agree to it either way it shouldn't have fucking happened yeah she was in that type of cognitive decline I mean like what are they going to do capitalize on just a mere moment where like and even at that the mere moment does she truly understand the context of the the discussion going on with the counselor

Yeah, it just so happened that that climax of the notebook scene happened when she had a pen and paper right in front of her. Mm-hmm. Right. Mm-hmm. Remember that? Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, you bet you. Okay.

So here's, this one's going out to Kevin. This is why grammar is important, folks. Yeah. Ringo Star has eaten the same sandwich for decades, and it only has two. ingredients. How big is that sandwich? You think it would have gone off? I know.

What are the two ingredients? I'm guessing bread. And what butter? I don't know. I don't know. The point is, the point is that this is why grammar is important. Because apparently he's been nibbling on this, on this delicious morsel for 20 years and is still not consumed it. Bro.

Now, here's, I know that you guys don't have a lot of love for the media, but it just, it can't be just like they can't stop blaboring the point of whatever wonderful things the liberals are doing. We can't stop belaboring the point that the media is fucked in this country. Oil sector questions economics of Alberta's West Coast pipeline. Well, the oil sector isn't behind the economics on it. Oh, really? Let's dig into this. And if you read through this entire fucking thing,

you have to get down to a third of the way through. Ian Sanderson, a senior analyst with the Pembina Institute, an environmental think tank that is unrelated to Pembina Corp, said the main challenge facing Alberta producers is not a death, a dearth of export capacity. Instead, its uncertainty around future demand, prices, and the economics of long-term oil infrastructure. headline oil sector questions economics article a keep it in the ground far left think tank

questions the economics yeah and that's not with that that's not even a question because they're keeping it in the ground that's been British Ottawa policy for like ever with regards to Alberta so like to them that's the best bank the best bank is it stays in the ground and the people don't prosper. Keep the population of Canada. Store of value. Yeah, exactly. That way they can run however many hypotheses that they need to for the ECB. The ECB. European Central Bank. Yeah. That and also... Why do you think we're an associate member, even though that doesn't even exist for the European Union? Yeah, I think it was Susan Kukindi on, or Kekindal on Promethean action that was talking about, as well as Putin explaining even the pricing and how it's not even

necessarily due to the producers themselves. It's just the exchange traders that are actually determining the prices. So it's ridiculous. Yeah, the big difference between the spread of the paper oil being controlled out of the city of London's economic policies versus the actual WTI and a physical barrel showing up at the door of the whoever purchased. The promises. The prices are all based on futures and options. and the idea of what is to come.

And then instead of what's actually based and what actually has been produced and has showed up to port. Yeah, most people are busy thinking that this whole diesel inflation thing that's going on right now is to do with Hormuz. And it's like, no, sorry, there's a different kind of magic trick going on here, people.

As Martin Armstrong would say, you need to look at how capital is treated around the planet. And this is just another magic trick going on right now. But just like the 70s, oil shock, the 70s oil shock that was set up by the Brazinski and those guys and they had all of those ships sitting off the port that were full.

They're ready to go. It was a line-ups for Das going around the block. Yeah, and then there's like trading days. Like, okay, if you have your license play ending in an odd number, then you go down Tuesdays and Thursdays and then if you have it on an even number, you're going Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and it doesn't change the quantity or the volume

that gets moved. And yet everybody in their psyche, goes, oh, I got to make sure I go and get gas. It's like you never paid attention to when you were getting fuel on average. You just knew that at one day of the week, you were going to go and make sure that you filled up or twice, depending on whatever it is. It was the 70s. It was probably every second day. Well, yeah, and, you know, cheaper.

But the thing is, it's like, once again, it's right up there with like a COVID scam. Well, I mean, I don't know too much about the pricing of oil, but I did find it interesting that when it went into the negatives. in like 2020, 2020 to 21 or whatever, I could not like, you know, a barrel of oil was trading for like negative $40. I could not find somebody who would give me a barrel of oil and $40. Yep. Right? Because that's how it goes, right? Like right now, if I want to buy a barrel of oil, I got to pay, you know, 80 bucks say, right? But if that barrel of oil is now negative 40, then I could go into whatever. I could go into BP. I could go into CNRL and I could say, hi, my truck's out back.

I would like you to put in one barrel of oil and also give me $40. They looked at you like you're crazy. I'm like, yeah, but isn't that's how it works? Yeah, exactly. That's it right there. Oh, you're not willing to do that. You need more money to be willing to do that. Oh, well, then in that case, that isn't the actual price.

You had a Michael Douglas moment. It's the flat burger. I have so many Michael Douglas moments. A lot of them are traffic related, believe it or not. So I don't know if you guys know this or not, but the NDP is not a serious party. And Nahed Nenshi is, well, okay, first off, the big takeaway from this, I think that you're going to see, is that increasingly, whenever the NDP come out with a new video, it's somebody other than Nenshi doing it.

And I don't know if you've ever seen pictures or videos of the guy, but he's not exactly a picture of health. You know, he looks like all the European Union's health ministers. He does. You ever see that mean? Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Like, how do you get the health minister in Alberta 10 years ago?

Yeah, like, how do you get these overweight? Just gargantially gross-looking people and put them in charge of health. It's bait. It literally is because what happens is, is you get somebody like Mike saying something like what literally all of us think when they see that there's a 340-pound woman who is the health minister in 5 foot 3, and you say, God, I feel sorry for those shoes. And the lens.

They had to get a lighter lens just to. Yep, they clip that And they say, oh, look at all these Far-R-Rate misogynists. And you're like, no, no, no, no. I accept these clips. The only thing getting massaged is that woman's feet at the end of a hard three-hour day.

Oh, my word. But in this case, in this case, sorry, go ahead. We've got Nenshi putting out a video of one of the NDP people talking about, So Daniel Smith is talking about the idea of doing a $1,900 tax per temporary foreign worker per year. And this is the video. The Premier announced yesterday that she wants to impose a $900 a year tax on small businesses and families.

You heard that right. $1,900 a year per employee, almost $8,000 for a family of four for a year. Businesses have relied on temporary residents already pay taxes. Their employees already pay taxes. Yet the Premier doesn't think that's enough. She wants them to pay more. This is a massive new tax on Albertans at exactly the wrong time.

Families are struggling with a cost of living crisis. Businesses are navigating the impacts of a trade war. The Premier just wants to make life more expensive. It's out of touch, it's unfair, and Albertan's can't afford Daniel Smith's new tax. Thoughts? Well, they didn't explain the taxes.

So that means somebody's actually going to have to go look it up and read it. And that pretty much ends anybody's insight that's going to watch that video. Well, yeah, so it's a tax on temporary foreign work. And then she says it's affecting families and small businesses. Small businesses do not have the money to bring in temporary foreign workers, right? Like you, you kind of need a little bit of cushion room and then you can save yourself a bunch of money down the road.

This basically looks like, like did Tim Horton's donate a bunch of money to the NDP? She says, she says it's going to cost a family of four almost $8,000. So, like, does she think that there's child labor? now. Like we're going to import some Indonesian 6 year old who's going to be smoking a pack of those giant ridiculous cigars on his break outside of whatever store.

It's just incredibly dishonest, incredibly misleading. And the problem is is that their key demographic is idiots. And they're exactly the kind of people are going to fall for this. The companies, too, that I actually do it like it's most policies that we have in in Canada for economics like when it comes to these types of businesses that require those workers they're the ones that

don't they don't want to hire like locals they don't want to pay the higher wages and make sure that they have these people on the books for the types of you know care that they need to offer the employees so the temporary foreign workers is it's a it's important to the types of companies that are profiting from the system that we currently have. And then when you hear your government, and this falls even into the Smith government, is they'll say things like, well, Alberta independence will have, you know, a huge effect on capital leaving Alberta. And it's like, look, the only people that don't like the idea of Alberta independence

with regards to the corporations that are behind the cronyism problems that we have in Alberta are the ones that have been making money with the status quo that we currently have. So they're the ones that are threatening the Danielle Smith caucus with sitting back saying, we'll pull out. And in my opinion, it's like, good, get out. Like, we will find a way through. There are plenty of other innovators and capable people. We can establish other relationships.

And we can, you are replaceable. Your businesses that you've been running, you're replaceable. We will find a way. Absolutely. And the thing about it is, my, my biggest issue with this proposed tax. on temporary foreign workers is it's not big enough. Put a zero on that. Seriously, seriously, put a zero on that.

Right? Because Brett Olin, a friend of the show, shout out to Brett. He brought up a really good point. He said that Canadian workers, if this goes through, are going to get an $1,89 a year raise. And that's perfect, right? That's good. Like, you want to have it so that,

the economic incentive to bring in somebody from the Philippines and have them sleep in the back room of your fucking warehouse at night completely goes away. You don't want, first off, it's a dick move to them. And secondly, it's taking jobs away from people who are trying to find work here in this country. I mean, you got two young ladies here. How many people your age do you know who have had a hell of a time finding a job?

any job. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I would attest it. To me, it reminds me almost a little bit of a protective tariff type of measure where it's like, and I know that's like controversial now with this whole trade war going on and all that. I felt an elbow up hit me in the show. But I mean like the idea of even like the protective tariffs used against free trade,

like during the early days of the United States, like founding father times, Henry C. Carey, they would have like a 50% tax because they were trying to incentivize their own workforce to be able to like create their own things. So that way it wasn't just importing a bunch of like cheap goods from a lot of that was steel. Yeah, exactly. And so that's what it kind of reminds me of here is like, yeah, the people that there would be bringing in as temporary foreign workers, it's like more incentivized as well to even go like if you want to work here and actually prosper than become a citizen. Otherwise, you're probably just going to be treated as some sort of cheap labor tactic for a business to just, you know, get around loopholes instead of actually just,

you know, investing into the Canadians that are here and trying to make it, trying to prosper today. Well, the tricky thing, I don't know, I'm going to kind of sound like a bit of a hypocrite too here, is that it's hard to close all the loopholes because of how expansive all this is. And so at this point, the simplest thing before you start dismantling the loopholes would just be to put a gate in front of it and charge a toll. Yeah, you're going to go through this loophole. Okay, fair enough. It's going to cost you $20,000 ahead. And then they'll say, oh, actually, actually, you know what, for the time being, maybe we are going to hire some local kid to do this job.

Yeah, I mean, when you look at some of the most prosperous economies right now, they all have policy that, prioritizes their citizenry first. It's just in their policy. So it's like if you wanted to go and just move there, it's like unless you have already like many, many tickets to offer or specialized things and it happens to be a part of the economy they don't have filled, it's like, I'm sorry, you are on the bottom pickings. That's just how the top economies work. And even I was just trying to see if I could find. And it's not even a policy yet. It was just something that she had offhandedly said, Danielle regarding this. And she was comparing it kind of what you said, temporary workers in the UK, they pay a premium before arriving in the country. So in order to access the healthcare,

and that's kind of what this one was about. The UK does 1,400 per year for students and about 900 per year for visa immigrant applications of 18 years and older. And so choose just, that's what they were referring to to do the same thing for healthcare. Yeah, like in that video, it sounds like, oh, these people are just randomly getting taxed because of them being in a business. It's like, no, it probably has something to do a little bit more of you accessing our services, which is not included in that video. And the thing is, too, is like that's where there's all sorts of shenanigans, if you will, when it comes to, and the NDP's got some history of this, but I mean, we can't even just hang it on them,

when, you know, the ability to get foreign workers to be able to vote, right? So, like, we've had those scenarios where that's, that's been the case. Maybe not so much as strong in Alberta since we went back to paper ballots, so to speak. But, I mean, what's that line from the, Anne Rand? It's like, show me the incentive. I'll tell you the outcome. And so you're allowing for the opportunity to present itself for that type of coercion to happen in electoral systems, right? Like, there was a time when the NDP, I don't believe it's enacted now,

but they had put in the policy for vouching to be able to vouch for. someone in order for them to be able to vote. So you could fill up an apartment building, get the building owner to be financially incentivized to vote for everybody in the building that was like a foreign worker because like the building was set up for temporary foreign workers. And then they have an address. So then all you needed was an Alberta address and you could go and vote and be vouched for by the building owner. And all of a sudden there's all those voting to be able to go into a direction that services, you know, whatever party lobbies or financially greases the palm or gives the fat info like i don't care pick your pick your poison because there's no there's this is not

just a uh that's not just in the wheelhouse of the nDP so no no um i think it's it's interesting uh if and when alberta separates and i get that this is an extremist not a mainstream take for those of you wanting to clip it and use it against us the upcoming referendum but if you're born in alberta you got to wait 18 years to vote i think if you moved to alberta you got to wait 18 years to vote. Even if it's from Manitoba, Ontario. You know, it takes you 18 years to understand a place that you're born in and to grasp the concepts thoroughly enough to be able to vote responsibly in theory.

If you move here, it should be the same. That's interesting. Yeah, it's an interesting take. I'd have to give that some thought for a while to see how that would play out if I gamed it out. I don't even know how, like, the process right now for like citizenship in order to vote. like I actually don't know how you're like, you're like 80 years old. You move here. It's like you're not going to vote until you die.

But here's the thing is if you know that, it's not something you surprise people with. It's not something you surprise people with. You say, yeah, you know what? If you want to come here, great. We'll get the application process started. The first step is we take this and we put it into a time capsule. And if you know that before you move here, no one's saying you have to move here. but if you know that before you move here and you do it anyway,

then you're consenting to the process because you think that the potential upsides outweigh the downside of not having a say in how the government works for the next little while, long while, whatever. Yeah, that was why citizenship in Rome for the earliest times meant a lot because there was perks that the state offered and that incentivization was like really high. And then obviously policies were introduced to start doing like blanket citizenship

to try to maneuver policies in favor of, you know, pick whatever Senate or tribunes or what have you. But some of the same tricks that are being done now is also what contributed to the watering down to the value of citizenship in Rome. And then, of course, we all know the end story about that one. Yeah, you've got toilets that sat for a thousand years because nobody knew how to make them work anymore. You had indoor plumbing.

and then, you know, maybe it's post hoc agropropter hawk, but you've got indoor plumbing and tight voting rights. You open up the voting rights, and there's a thousand years of everybody digging outhouses as a result. Interesting analogies. Well, it's not an analogy. Like, that happened. Like, they had indoor plumbing.

And then the fall of Rome, everybody who knew, there was a bunch of weird stuff, like so much knowledge they got lost. Look at the concrete. Look at the Canary Islands. So what happened was there were a bunch of North African slaves that they got captured on their way out there to do the tuna fishing. And apparently it's a lot easier to catch your slaves on a tiny island than it is on Africa. The main continent. Yeah, the main continent.

So they just kicked him off the boat. And then the fall of Rome happens. And they forgot to go pick them up again. And then a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, someone's like, oh, hey, there's some islands over there. Oh, wait, there's people here. Where did they come from? And meanwhile, these guys are like, finally, we've been waiting.

There was this video that Alex Kramer did on his YouTube channel. I think it was like how oligarchs rule, like everything. And in it, it was talking about Rome as well and how there were people. There were some, I'm not quoting it verbatim, but it went something along the lines of the people would have rather had actually been sort of slaves to people that they knew that was the terms and conditions of the relationship than be slaves to someone who was trying to give them the illusion that they were free.

Like the people were like, I'd rather be like a slave to someone and we know that that's what we are and we know that that's how they want to treat us than our society right now. Yeah, which is just basically lying, saying we're free and we're still just a slave class. And then he mentioned what you were talking about, which is so many people. people because they were following along and migrating with these different groups that were I guess sort of their master class, sort of speak, because they got, they traded protection at that time because when you're getting down to like the dark ages of when an empire is collapsing, then you kind of are just sink or swim. And a lot of things got sort of like trades

and art and how to make things was getting lost at that time. Oh, absolutely. I mean, there was there was a story about a guy who had invented some glass that didn't break. It just bent. And so he goes in and shows the king. And he's like, look at this. It's just a glass bowl. But look what happens when I drop it. And then it dents and he just pops the dent out.

And the king's like, wow, that is very cool. How many people do you have making these? He says, whoa, no, it's just me. I'm the only person who knows how to do this. and so then the kind of looks behind him to the guard and he's like and that's it can't make things to last

that's not profitable yeah exactly because the king had decided that it was going to ruin the economy and it was just a lot easier to kill some random dude yeah who's excited about his innovation and then he went and told the wrong person

yeah yeah although I mean back then I'm sure there was a lot of people who would have been the wrong people to tell but I mean you'd just be like okay well do you have the recipe yeah I got it right here like mine

patented mine now so Sidney Sweeney kind of happened a little while ago again again I don't know if you guys she does that saw this if you heard about it there was a whole lot of really angry

articles written by these particular women and a bunch of others. Here's a place called Just Jared. I've never even heard of it before. But Lizzo stuns in a completely sheer dress at Cardi B's star-studded birthday bash. And then meanwhile, Sidney-Sweeney faces backlash over provocative sports ads seemingly responds to critics. There seems to be a bit of a double standard about this. And here's another woman who wrote an article saying,

hey Sidney Sweeney, 1970 called and wants its stereotypes back. Oh, well, Lee. Berkshire Farms called and they want their heifer back. Oh, damn. Nice. Honestly, my mom and I were talking about this because she was just like, her reaction, firstly, was just like jealous. like the other women just I'm absolutely just mad because they don't look like that.

Yep, absolutely. But honestly, the left and the right on this whole issue has been really funny because, you know, the left a lot of the times have been saying that, you know, Sydney's kind of ruining the image that feminism tried to create for women in sports and how like not all body types or the, you know, have to adhere to this sort of stereotypical Sydney-Sweeney standard. And then like how can you represent a sports ad when you don't. even look like you're an athletic bot or whatever. And then,

she looked super fit in those ads. Did you encompass like Oliver or did you get past her personalities? You know, it's interesting because you just start mentally piecing it together because you're like, okay, I can see this from this angle and then I, you know, and you just start. Well, I mean, if you look at it, someone, I think it was on, oh, I think maybe modern wisdom podcast and it was them talking about how people were comparing Sydney Sweeney to Sabrina Carpenter and saying well both of them are hypersexualizing themselves in I guess the sphere of Hollywood but no one says a word about Sabrina Carpenter and why is that and then a lot of people in the feminism

kind of leftist wing movement are like well because Sabrina's doing it for herself not for like the male gays and like the patriarchy and like you know it's self-love and so she makes her feel good and And then I'm just like, well, like, that's such double standards. So you'll be basically, if it's for the male gaze, that's not okay. But if it's for the female gaze, that's also still just attention seeking, but of a different kind. Like, I don't know what we're talking about here. And then it was like, I think the left, they're the ones that, so they'll say it's ruining, you know, the sports image and there's different body types and all that. but it's just like, but the minute it's self-love and, you know, then it's okay to hypersexualize,

but because I guess if Sidney Sweeney wasn't doing it for her own self-love image, then which- she was doing it for a lot of men's self-love, I'll tell you that. But it's just like two things can be true at the same time. Like if Sydney was enjoying herself, then it's just like, well, then it could be. But they'd be like, no, no, it can't be two things at the same time. Absolutely not. And it's just retarded. When were they concerned about the impact?

of sports when they they toss men into female sports. Like, I mean, how is this going to be able to basketball? Yeah, how does women's boxing feel about that? Like, get out of here. Okay, so, all right, but let's keep pulling on this thread. You said both sides are lunch on this. Yeah, so when I was thinking of it, a lot of the times I've been here on the more right side that it's like,

kind of like sexies back and all that. And a part of me is like laughing because I'm like, was sexy, never really laughed. Like it's been the age old tale for such a long time that that you can do that. But the left for sure has been trying to like push it down our throats that, you know, I'm just going to sound terrible, but like ugly is better or whatever. But like what I was mainly looking at is Sydney has got like her poster on like New York and it's basically her naked just holding the footballs to basically cover the nipples. That's about it. Which are life size. Yeah. But I was laughing because I was like, well, for I guess the idea of, you know, pornography is not necessarily a good thing and you don't want to necessarily, you know, subjectate like children's eyes to that or whatever. I'm like, it is on a giant ass billboard in the middle of New York City of this naked woman.

So part of me is like, I can look at the rain and kind of go like, guys, like, how come you can't sell something and it have to be like, can the woman not look elegant? or does she always have to look provocative in order to make a buck is basically what I was thinking. Well, an elegant woman would make a buck, a provocative woman will make five. Is the thing, right? It's not that you can't do it without it.

Like, I could get all the way, I could drive and come see you guys in first gear, but I'd get there faster if I sped up, right? is the kind of standpoint behind the sexification of advertising. But I think, because like we've been talking about it on the show, like nature's healing every time there's another hot chicken and ad. We're like, look, look, it's finally happening again. Like, I don't know if you guys remember.

It wasn't very long ago where it got really difficult for retail stores because the sheer cost of all the plastic involved in their mannequins was just so difficult to overcome. They just had these giant large plus size. And then you couldn't even showcase as much because you got like a 10 foot window that you can have mannequins in. You can only fit like two or three of them. And now, now you've got smaller mannequins with less plastic involved in the construction. And you can showcase like seven or eight different outfits instead of only two or three.

It's a win for everybody. But the problem, the problem that we had, I think, was just that they were telling us that this was normal. and they were telling us that this was how it was and that fat was healthy and it wasn't. Like you had here, so this is the CBC article about it. Sydney Sweeney has nothing to do with sports. And it goes on and it talks about the patriarchy.

It's just a bunch of a name bullshit. And when you look at the bio of the lady who wrote this, Shereen Ahmed, look, I'm not going to take the, if you're going to talk about what's sexy and what isn't, if you're somebody whose appearance is improved by a hijab, you should probably sit down and shut up while that conversation takes place.

This is a lady who, you know, burn it all down feminist sports podcast team. In addition to blah, blah, blah, it's interesting. It talks about her academic accolades and everything else like that. And you think, well, she just focuses on sports all the time, right? She's got to be like super fit and doing all kinds of interesting sports-related stuff. Maybe she plays badminton 17 times.

a week. No, you can find Shereen tweeting or drinking coffee or tweeting about drinking coffee. She lives with her four children and her cat. This is a Muslim woman who is a single mother. Do you have any idea how much of a pain in the ass you have to be for a Muslim man to divorce you? And this is the lady that we're going to talk. She's not even, she's not even like in sports. So this is someone who's writing sports articles and doesn't even like have a love for sports? No, no. And you can tell by what little of her face you can see that she does not actively partake in them. And so there's nothing about this woman that should give her any credibility when discussing Sidney Sweeney and or physical activity.

And yet she's presented as being some sort of, I don't know, a paragon of intellect when it comes to this subject. No, no, get the fuck out of here. I don't tell me I'm wrong. I'm too contextual for this conversation because I'm like, I don't think gambling necessarily is a good habit because it just increases the rehypothecation, the derivative speculation bubble, you know, mentality that we got. I also understand that for like my generation and not even my generation, but like the only fans thing is off the freaking charts right now.

And so I'm like, our society has an issue and girls are associating their bodies with money. and so I'm like this ad just perpetuates that. So I'm like either way, I think both sides are kind of ridiculous because I just see an overall issue. But that's why I'm like, you don't win. You don't win period no matter the side of the conversation you're on. Yeah. Are you looking for a win too, right?

That's the problem. There's another problem with our society is they're looking for the gotcha or the one up and it still puts a divide because even how they're using Sidney-Sweeney regardless of whether we care about our motives or the other people wanting to presume her motives and then arguing about that, you're still getting a divide to conquer endgame. And that's the part that is the most important thing to actually unravel. Because when it comes to some of the real problems that we're all facing, you know, when it, you know, I hear in Alberta, but also just like lots of places, even in the Western cultures.

It's like we have we have a lot more serious problems to be concerning ourselves with and how to navigate through them and we need to be able to bridge those those gaps instead of having them get lit up and inflamed. But I mean, X is that's kind of its algorithm is to you know, get everybody scrapping. And it's interesting though, because even like Sydney's figure and whatever like the nudity part of it, it's like you brought up the Lizzo article call, but it's like you don't. even necessarily have to have someone who's overweight to be the example. Like Cardi B, for example, where there's really skin tight dresses where let's face it, she basically practically is. You could see everything. And then you'll sometimes even see like nipples showing and the left doesn't really say anything about it. So it's just like what? What is this double standard going on here? That's because it's the delta for a lot of those women. It's not whether someone's hot or not.

It's how much hotter they are than you. And they want to eliminate that. Delta because you know they want to look like a super model okay fair enough well if you're here and the other things over there there's two different ways for that to get closer one is you could move closer to looking like a super model or two

you could force the supermodel to look more like you and that's the way it went for a long time you had all the plus size Victoria's secret models and all of a sudden boom nobody's buying lingerie and so that's it's

it's not necessarily an envy thing so much as it is a threat for a lot of really small-minded women. Like the ones who would tell you to cut your, the ones who would tell you, you would look so good with the pixie cut. Those are the ones.

Women do vote each other down. Yeah, it's a good thing that you're bringing up. It's like women do do that. They definitely have that conflict. So I think it was interesting. Like I have the sort of love-hate relationship with the whole body positive. movement thing going around because a part of me is like I don't like it when it's necessarily

perpetuating unhealthiness like I don't like that but to me I'm like how about just do good like as and treat your body in a healthy way as and be positive towards just having the fact that you have this thing though you know treat it like a temple do some push-ups eat healthy you know all these things like take care of yourself that's how you could be positive towards your body but not not the other way which is just basically eat when you want to because fuck everybody else and it's just like yeah but that's not good for your health. Like, if you actually care about yourself

and not actually everybody else, then take care of yourself. Well, I mean, did I ever, have I ever told you guys my conspiracy theory about Dove? No. The soap? Yeah, the soap.

Tell me. Okay, right. So, don't drop it. At some point, at some point, the parent company of Dove was looking at their numbers and they're just like,

they're flatline. We're not selling any more. soap and like we want to sell more soap well how can we do it and so i mean the first thing is to introduce a whole bunch of people to soap which is where mass immigration comes in and then the second thing is to um you know they're looking at it and they're like well we can't have any more people buying soap because everybody's all buying soap the markets the market's already saturated we can't do anything more we've got this many people who are buying our soap and that's it and then somebody in the back said,

what if those people needed more soap? And then fast forward to the body positivity thing. Larger people have more skin, more surface area, more soap. And that's what Dub did. Be comfortable in the skin you're in? No, no, no. They just wanted you to have more skin, which necessitated more soap for your cleanliness,

which increased their bottom line. Well, think of it also like this. In the clothing industry, it costs more because it's more fabric. to make. So even the clothing industry is going to be profiting a lot from people that are just larger because larger shirts cost more money because it takes more fabric to make them. I'm just saying. That's an odd win-win scenario.

Okay, moving on to something completely different. Drivers, we have a whole lot of milk. Oh, my gosh. See what I did there? Yeah. This, you know, it sucks. These 17 wheelers driving down the road, you know, obviously adverse conditions. You can tell that it's the middle of the day and the road is dry and clean.

And that can be really hard to navigate for a lot of 17 wheelers. And so this transport truck hauling watermelons rolls over on Highway 401 westbound on ramp at Trafalgar Road in Milton, Ontario. avoid the area. I mean, unless you, like, Rough Rider fans are just looking at that and salivating, right? Yeah, a lot of potential there. Right now I'm thinking of the Ice Age scene with the dodo birds where they're like, the last melon.

And like, I can see them totally getting all over for that. And then here's another one in drivers. So protesters tried to set up this line blocking the freeway. And you'll never guess what happens. A line? It goes about as well as you'd think. And that should almost be the happy news, I think. I don't know if you guys have noticed how many people try and do dumb shit on freeways

for whatever cause they're supporting or, you know, throwing soup cans at art. But these people need to suffer consequences. And then they'll stop doing it. They should learn physics. Yep. Yeah, they absolutely should. Just some of the basics would have helped in that scenario. Whatever possessed them to think that that was a good idea.

Well, there's, I watched a video the other day. It's a guy that does like candid conversations and he's in Edmonton. And there was some protest outside of, I think the Rogers building against some hockey player that supposedly did some sort of section. Not supposedly. He was acquitted. Okay, there we go. But the guy didn't. So the podcaster walks up says, so what are you here today doing? And then this, I think he, he's an avid and deep here.

And he said, I'm protesting against, I think this hockey player. And he said, I think. And the guy's like, well, what did he do? Because, like, I think a crime, some sort of crime. And then he's like, I don't actually know what. And then the guy's like, wait a minute. Do you have any idea about what this guy did? so you're that you're protesting.

He's like something sexual assault related. Yeah. And then he's like, and by the way, F all the separatists. I'm like, that was very, very intelligent. Oh, that's perfect. That's kind of. Thank you for helping our movement.

That's kind of roughly on brand for the discussions with the separation. I don't know if you guys have noticed that or not. But like even that Stockwell Day debate he had. Bruce Barthi. To Stockwell Day's credit, I think that he did the best job of anybody to date in terms of putting forth the best argument against separation. And the crux of his was that if Alberta wants to leave Canada,

Canada is going to make it really difficult. And also Canada is a bureaucratic cesspool where nothing ever gets done. And so getting the paperwork figured out, is going to be a nightmare. And yet simultaneously holding the belief that, you know, progress is being made. No, I don't think he was arguing that progress can be made, or that was being made. His argument was that we should try and stick around to make progress. Well, they said, you know, we had success with reforming the Senate, even though it wasn't really

reforming the Senate. But he said, like, we've had some success thus far in negotiations. we can continue doing that and yet at the same time saying that negotiations will be too difficult. It's like that contradicts. I don't want to be like a total like black pillar, but at the same time, I don't think Stockwell Day was considering the idea of what these sort of higher bureaucrats tailored to their think tanks slash overlords think, which is like you throw the plebs a bone every once in a while to make them feel like they've won a victory of some sort.

And so no, like, that's what happened with him in Meach Lake. Yeah. So, yeah. And so part of me is like, I don't think he's understanding that like, yeah, we can make some progress. And it's like the keyword, though, is some progresses and you're not making what it is that you originally intended to set out. Yeah. And he said we did something with Senate reform. And then he defined what it actually was later.

And it's like, yeah. And he said, and what it is is that we suggested the person that gets appointed to the Senate and they listen to the appointee. Like that's not Senate reform. Nope. And he's not giving the- Doesn't fucking happen. Yeah. And he's not giving the proper context, though,

to all the people that have been trying to get like an Alberta pension plan and Alberta police force. Like, like he's like, just stick with the system and eventually something might beautifully magically arise. And it's like you're not giving context to all the people that have been doing what you're exactly saying,

which is, oh, sit down, have a coffee with your MP, like try and get some. I'm like, these people tried that and we still aren't where we want to be. Yeah. There's no historical context of understanding the supplications that have already transpired. You know, this comes down to, once again, like, the education of the average individual that's looking at this circumstance and trying to, you know, I understand the motivation because there are several people, even on the conservative side, that have this, you know, we've got to be able to find a way to negotiate with Canada.

And this is like, yeah, this has a very similar feel to a battered wife trying to figure out how to negotiate with an abusive husband. And what you don't understand is that all the stages that the average gal has gone through is psychologically and statistically speaking in those circumstances. At the end of the day, the way you truly get out of that relationship is either he kills you, which Ottawa has been very good at to Albertans since 2020. or you leave. You've got to get out. Sometimes the debates that are being framed and offered are, to me, it's almost like it's an olive branch. And when you look and you see the saw,

you're sitting on the branch that you're cutting off. Like this is, we've played this game before. We're dealing with an adversary that even the United States, like when Patrick Henry gave his 1775 address, to the Virginia Congress, it's like the end result was we've gone through a series of supplications, we've used their system to try to appeal to the king, and then when you look at the actual declaration of independence and you take a look at the 27 to 31 can be argued points of fact that get offered as evidence. And you read them all.

And instead of looking at his majesty, we say Ottawa, it's the same thing. So we're dealing with the exact same magic trick, the exact same system. And we played these games already. We just did a fireside chat with the three of us and my brother to talk about kind of like the Constitution series that we had and go over whether or not we agreed with the things that we heard from Bruce, Matthew Riley, and Dennis Kalma. And dad read the grievances. and there were a couple that talked about, you know, the physical violence and burning of villages. I'm like, okay, that one doesn't necessarily apply.

But the violence and the murder still absolutely applies because we've been talking about made, you know, half this show. And it's like they actively are killing Canadians. And so it's like they are murdering us. Like there are policies through Deni Rancourt's testimony at the Allison inquiry. Yeah. Okay. So that and that alone.

So just with policies, think about the quantity of Albertans that got killed. And then the rest of Canadians, which I'm also very, very empathetic to. Okay. And then how about the downstream consequences of the MRI injections? We don't even know what that's going to be fully all about as things unravel. Okay, well, thank you, Health Canada for that one. So they might not actually have soldiers, and I'm saying yet, coming door to door and having

to be put up into people's houses, like some of the founding fathers had to deal with with, the British soldiers that were allowed to be housed and bunked in their homes and their personal farms and things like that. But the thing is that when it comes to a per capita of how many people are government or government policies, including the provincial government of Alberta, the quantity of people that these establishments have killed or murdered. Oh, wait, let me add made onto that as well. So I'm sitting back going, we're the dying housewife right now. We've been beaten and murdered and stolen from to the point where we're basically, we're laying on the ground bleeding out and they're busy sitting back going,

we'll change. Oh, and also being a deadbeat drunk the whole time. Right. Right. My like little thought on that, though, is like as much as I appreciate the Allison inquiry. And I think it's honestly such a, it's a hopeful thing to see that actually some MPs that, you know, we're actually getting a chance to listen to it.

I also think we have to be careful that that was also just another olive branch, right, where they're trying to say here, like your MPs are starting to listen to you and that's great, but Pierre Pahlavav wasn't there, right? And then in terms of if it's going to actually go somewhere, right, because even Gary Davidson's recommendations never saw the light of day by Daniel Smith, right? So it's just, it's good for the, I think it's good for the quality of the people that have been injured. that have been injured. It's good for them,

but it's also good for the society of just the average citizens to actually start thinking about that. But in terms of like the system, I think that, again, I want to be careful that it's just them throwing us another bone to see, look, we're changing.

Because I'm like, yeah, but there's still so, think reverse correlate all the people that weren't there still. And then again. And 339 didn't show up. And playing to Stockwell Day where he's just like,

oh, the bureaucracy, it's going to take forever and they're not going to let you go. And it's like, well, that's even more of a reason to understand like when he was talking to Bruce Party which is like give me a timeline Bruce like when are you guys going to be fully achieved in independence

it's like we know every single fucking day that we are achieving independence right if we get the referendum we start to actually go towards the negotiations and start to go down that process we know every day is inching ever more closely though to something that actually resembles legitimate prosperity

and legitimate negotiation as opposed to again the Romans this fake fucking idea of you're getting you know you're free when really you're not. Well, that was a really good point about Stockwell Day is you can tell in a debate when somebody has to, when somebody has to try and debate the side that has shitty arguments, they'll pivot. So it's not should, should Alberta separate or would Alberta be better off separating? It's you don't have a timeline, right? That's that's that's that's not the question. But it's not admitting that. Yeah, exactly.

that it shouldn't be still happening. And you can make the tenuous grasp of saying that an extended timeline is going to, the longer uncertainty is going to still some big institutional investment. Fair enough, right? But that doesn't take away from the core argument that you would be better off. And at worst, all it does is extend your break even point. because there's going to be you're going to have places like Brookfield and BlackRock that are going to say oh

institutional uncertainty check add an extra point to the IR that's it or 100 point to the IR that's it right and then there's going to be a few things that they aren't going to be interested in investing in because of that but that's going to go away with time and then eventually you know some of the startup costs and things like that you're going to reach point where we've got just just on its own not assuming for anything getting better you got 25 extra billion dollars a year so even if it costs 170 billion dollars to get alberta to separate from Canada your break even is at just under seven years oh yeah with i mean like that that's you being

that's you being um conservative yeah i was going to say like like yes that's very conservative of you could be sooner oh no absolutely but i'm just saying i'm just saying that in fact of anything we could be argued canada owes us money they should be paying us to leave yeah but you look at you look at their crazy number and you're like okay but you do know that that crazy scary number you threw out that was supposed to scare all of us even if it was that stupid number is still a pretty good thing and that's that's a pretty good thing and that's It just kind of speaks to how out of touch they are. Like even Stockwell Day, it's going to be difficult.

Do you know anything about the people who live here? That doesn't scare any of them away. They just say, oh, sweet, this is going to be fun. I'm not going to get bored. Well, also making the time argument, it's like if you actually also just look at the numbers about how many, look at how many, the average degree to get like a trade. or qualification in Alberta is like, you know, four years is on paper. And it, majority of people, it takes them longer. Like the average to complete it is more like five,

six. So it's like, Albertans are the people that'll sign up for a four year degree. They'll play the long game. And even though it takes longer, that's the average person that they grind out the longer term anyway. So it's like, I'm sorry, even our university students and like young men that are trying to, they're playing the long game. We have time and they're willing to put in the work. So, oh, no, it'll take a couple years. Like, great. That's one step closer to having my degree than if I hadn't signed up in the first place. Yeah.

Yeah, incremental progress is important and not to mention, like, that that's what separates our culture from, say, you know, Quebec. And whether they got to where they got to or not, you know, because I know some people are like, you better not leave before we do. They'll be offended if we managed to get independence before they did. Well, they're completely incapable of doing anything without Albertan help. The ledger books have shown that over the years. Well, sure, the ledger books have shown that, but that's also because of restrictions of infrastructure,

building and capabilities there. Like they have just as much of a poison pill of a Jesuit-run funded government, you know, trying to basically cut them off at the knees. from being able to also move forward with their own prosperity. So, like, there is enough in Quebec for Quebec to stand on its own two feet and flip a bird east and west of their position. No problems. So because per capita, Canada is still the richest nation per citizenry than any other place in the world.

You're counting natural. Everything. Yeah. So the thing is, they don't want to develop them. Michael. When you say that, that's not the people. You know that that's their policy, that's their government. That's this, this British system, right?

No, of course. Show me the incentive, I'll tell you the outcome. No, like, I get that we're all sending things over to Pan Am. Like, I understand where Alberta is in the scheme of things. But if we cut that off, you're going to expedite Quebec's process. Yep. Like, Alberta separating would be the best thing for the rest of Canada because they would have to get off their asses.

I mean, you can't spell. P-E-I without E-I. Yeah, like right now, I don't think, like, the equalization payments that we send to Quebec, we can't guarantee that we're actually fucking helping them more shit, because it's like the money is not actually going necessarily to the Quebec people and their infrastructure in these projects like we're just alluding to. It's going to just more campaigns for politicians that are going to give them just the bad policies that we've been eating this whole time.

We're very similar to Quebec, at least in that way. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. and you brought up a really good point before where people are like, oh, well, you know what? We need to try and change the system by working within it and everything like that. Like the,

they're presenting it as though no one's ever tried. As though we didn't just have a referendum on equalization. As if we haven't been talking for decades with the firewall letter and the West wants in and all this stuff. Guess what? Now the West wants out.

Because we did the exact same thing that you're telling us we should do for a hundred years. And you guys were dicks the entire time. And so much of this, so much of this could have been avoided with a simple bit of fucking gratitude. A thank you every once in a while. Instead of telling us that we're dicks for paying the power bill. Okay.

One more thing on drivers. truck and company charged under Immigration Services Act in Regina. Now, anybody here want to throw out a guess as to the name of the trucking company? Oh, no. No, I don't. No, no. Well, just based on you asking that alone, it makes me.

I see that meme, that Star Wars, it's a trap. It's a trap. It's a trap. So Jarowar Singh and J.D. Trucking Limited have been charged with making or signing any false statements, providing false statements or providing any false misleading or inaccurate information. And Singh and J.D. Trucking Limited appeared in Regina Provincial Court on September 2nd with proceedings adjourned until September 28th. sing with me sing for the ears sing for the laughter sing for the tears sing for the moment now now we covered this a few weeks ago with chuck prodnick was on actually when we did it um there was a miniature donkey named he-ha that got shot by a police officer oh damn and so um

in the video i don't know we should show it so he's not an ass man is what you're saying oh nice well nice so you can borrow there was there was well maybe maybe he just doesn't like small asses because this is a miniature donkey he just wants to be donka donks although

although i mean if this i mean this small ass in particular in question he here did make him shoot prematurely. So what happened is now there's a bit of an inquiry going on. More information that came out that isn't in here was that he had police dogs with him when he entered the pasture looking for the lost child. And I don't know if you guys know anything about donkeys, but any sort of canine is their mortal enemy. Like if you've ever got problems with coyotes, you just get yourself a donkey.

We had a couple of them when I was a kid. And I think the first time. beautiful. We had a couple of them when I was a kid and the dogs were like, oh, these are new animals. Let's go over and say hi. And then about three seconds later,

they were like, fuck that. Yeah, donkeys hate dogs, which is probably why that miniature donkey came at the cop and his dog. And then the cop shot and killed the donkey. And then there was a rally for the, slain miniature donkey named heaha who was well known in the community and had been to many county fairs and petting zoos and whatnot and uh anyhow a brawl broke out um at the uh at the rally

and uh and a reporter ended up getting caught in the middle of it which is kind of happy i guess but foraldo graver yeah so anyways that's what's going on with heaha the donkey Now there's a few other goofy things happening. I don't know if you guys saw this. KD launches McInney's flavored soda in Canada. That can't be real. That can't be real. Well, obviously the picture isn't real, but the concept itself is.

Other interesting thing. How many people in Canada do you know who call it soda? Only ex-Americans. Only ex-American. So that's a little bit weird. This isn't the first bizarre combination. This year we've seen KD's smoothies and cheesecake. Wow.

Craft is. It may. It doesn't work. That'll do. They'll feed us anything. I mean, we really are the petri dish for like death and maimie in Canada. It's like if we can't kill them with food, like that we've poisoned and things like that, and we can't get them with jabs.

can't get them with made. Now we'll try KD flavored soda. You know, have you ever actually looked at the process for how much like sugar and syrup type sugars can go into a single can of product? It's like a third. Like when they've got two teaspoons worth of sugar in a can. It's delicious. It's wonderful. Oh my God. Oh my gosh. No, but I know like, It's your life. You can tell it as big as you want to. Have you guys ever seen that the clear containers that they fill up with how much sugar is in the different juices and drinks and everything like that? And it's something like a third full for a can of pop.

It's because we call it pop in Canada, not soda. Yeah. It's fucking hilarious because you'll see, I guess, like, fitness slash nutritionalist people online and then they'll be working with their clients or whatever. And then the client will be like, I don't get it. Like, I haven't changed any. Like I'm not eating bad. I'm tracking what's going. Like, why am I not getting progress?

And then the trainer will just be like, are you still drinking like your fucking Starbucks drink every fucking day? Like twice a day? And they're like, well, yeah, of course. It's like, dude, you don't know how much you're like keeping your weight on because of those terrible sugary fucking drinks. I went out on a few days, dates once way back in the day with this girl who worked at Weight Watchers is like a consultant.

Yeah. And, uh, and so we. went to, I don't know, a concert or something. And then afterwards, she's like, hey, let's stop at Tim Hortons. And I'm like, okay, cool. We'll throw on a coffee date. You know, like a two times the date situation. And then she ordered the, whatever that, the slurpy coffee thing they have.

Ice cap. Oh, okay. Yeah. And so anyways, we've just been talking about her job and how it's like, oh, there's this many calories and this. and there's this many calories in that. There's this many calories in this other thing. She goes up, she orders that.

And I was like, holy shit, do you have any idea how many calories are in those? And then she was like, what? Do you think I'm fat? Whoa, man. That's called a reverse slam. Like, that's what that was right there. What happened here?

We were just talking about this. This is like a continuation of the concert. Two, rules for me, not for me. So anyway, I don't think it, it, I know it didn't go terribly well after that. Wow. So anyway, but this is supposed to be a sweet and savory carbonated drink that combines cream soda with a hint of Katie's cheesy flavor. Ew. Woof.

Yeah. I haven't had breakfast yet. You're going to ruin my appetite, bro. Are you, are you, would you guys try it? No. No. Did you guys try that? Like, I'm a food Nazi.

Okay. Like, I'm, I'm seriously healthy. Okay. Listen, listen, too. Our family, when it comes to like, I don't want to be like too crunchy girl here, aka like the girls that like eat granola and their yogurt, which I do, but not the point. The, our family's philosophy when it comes to like trying to like do the mental intellectual weights is that you can't, you're going to have.

have a really hard time if your body's not also on that same track. Because like the amount of like the amount of inflammation just from sugars and all that and then the seed oils and like Maddie can go down a whole ranch if she wanted to on like polyunsaturated versus saturated fats and what they do to the cellular structure in your mitochondria. So it's just like when people are like, you know, you got to get smart. It's like, well, you got to do both. Honestly, it's my biggest thing with the whole like people that are for freedom and therefore, you know, of getting intellectually free.

I'm like, I'm sorry, your brain could do 300 times more freedom work if you didn't pop that that Coke. Just put it down, stop with the fast food thing. Don't get me wrong. I get it. Like, we have some truckers and people that work on the road. And it's like, they're like, honestly, I struggle trying to maintain a decent diet on the road. Yeah.

Eating on the road is tough. And it's like fair enough. Swarma. Yeah, I understand. Shwoma, honestly, it's fun. it's a secret weapon than not a lot of people think about shorma. So it's like a wrap and then the meat and you're good to go. Like go to Al-Mairas or something or Jerusalem

Shorma. I'm just saying. The problem is that they always want to put so much sauce on it. True. So that could be solved by saying no. Yeah. Yeah. You're saying you've got to be vigilant. You just got to be vigilant. You've got to be vigilant. You've got to pay

attention to what's going on and you can't let it sneak up on you. Kind of like what Mark Carney is with the United States. Nice. Analyzing risk of the scenario's normal defense minister says amid Kearney's U.S. invasion comments. Basically, Mark Carney is coming up with a plan of action if and when the Yanks try and take over Canada.

It's not a real plan. It's just another excuse to extort money to go towards his war because he knows that fellow NATO-NATO, NATO countries, they won't do that thing. He knows the U.S. is not going to do it. The U.S. should have invaded us at any point from like 18. What do they need?

Like eight Abram tanks on the number one highway and that's it. We're done. No, that's basically it. Oh no. We've got to control two rail lines in one highway. How are we going to do this with the largest military in the world?

Yeah. And not to mention the fact that most of the population is within 200 kilometers of their border. Yeah. Yeah. So even our, even our guerrilla tactics that that he's mentioned, right?

Afghanistan style training that's being talked about. It's like, okay, yeah, good luck with that. You let me know how that goes. How many people would even fight if the Americans came in? How many of them would just see him as liberators?

I know a lot of people who probably who would probably be handing out beer and saying, be careful, guys, this is an American beer. So just start easy, but welcome, have a beer. Our secret weapon is we'll get them drinking KD flavored soda. I'm willing to deal with the decrease in, in neural capacity, just to give it a try. I want to try it.

Yeah. Whatever you do, man, make sure you Instagram that. It's got to be like real time too. So if you chuck it, you've got to like, it's got to be real. Like the video of the guy who found the old Crystal Pepsi and drank. Do you realize what that would be like getting that product out your nose if you laugh? Oh. Like you remember the cheese string?

The cheese string that you know, people like, oh, gross. Gross. Yeah, you're going to have to do something live. You mean like the cheese whiz? Well, yeah. But there was also like the spray cheese. Yeah. Cheese and a can.

And then if they missed, it went up their nose. Like I literally saw that happen to a guy. So it was like, oh, I just couldn't imagine. And then you laugh hard. You get KD flavored soda out your nose. Oh, wow. That would hurt. That would be horrible.

Speaking of the, I guess, like, U.S. attack thing, I was doing some research into kind of just like how the money laundering kind of happens through NGOs and all of that. And then it took me back to what was going on with Ukraine under this guy. I don't know how to say his last name because it's Ukrainian. It's like Olexander Bankov, Bancoff. And so, and then he served as the state secretary of Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 2020 to 2024.

And then he created this. That's the guy who just got busted with $140 million in cash? Yeah, like I think so. He created this thing called the spake NGO, which called the central. for promoting international cooperation. And it says to make it look official, Bangkok allegedly used his government position to sign a memorandum of cooperation with the MFA.

You mean like a memorandum of understanding? And that made me think of like the memorandum of understanding because I was like, wait a minute. So when Daniel Smith was coming out with this, or at least this sort of leaked document of how they might be doing privatization when it comes to like the natural gas, the TSE energy, my brain was like with this memorandum of understanding.

is that just basically being used as a sort of like stamp of approval to make it look more legitimate. So that way the sort of beneficiaries of the, I guess, privatization of the oil and gas sector can now start. Like, we don't know whether or not that's actually going to be going used towards again, these $43 billion pipeline announcements, whatever, or if it's actually just more money laundering. So part of me is like either Daniel Smith's really stupid and doesn't know or something's not right. here. Well, that's the thing. Daniel Smith, I don't know of anybody regardless of what you think about her that thinks of her as being stupid. And it really begs the question of why is she, why is she spiking the ball when it comes even just in negotiations with Carney? The simple thing to do with

that whole MOU rather than saying, okay, yeah, yeah, we're going to allow pipelines to get built. And in exchange, we're going to spend billions of dollars on carbon capture. The obvious thing would be for her to say, we're about to have a referendum in a few weeks on whether or not we even stay in this country, you frail old motherfucker. So listen, if you want to have a conversation like an adult,

you can call me, but in the meantime, you can shove that carbon capture up your butt. That would have been, like, that would have been it because she's actually negotiating from a position of strength with that, because the referendum is looming.

and why anybody wants to get rid of that leverage, even if you want Alberta to stay in Canada, this is the first time that anybody's talking to Alberta like it's a grown-up, instead of just saying, fuck you, pay me. And there's no, it's not a coincidence, and it shouldn't be lost on the viewers to at least also consider the fact that the entire Canadian military just got revamped and the head of battalion for the whole country

instead of being in Toronto where it has been for like ever is now being set up in Wainwright, Alberta. I didn't know that. Yeah, our military presence is going to Quintepel. I wonder why that's happening. Huh. That's the two birds, one stone thing.

I mean, first off, you get to say, look, look, we care about Alberta. We just moved our top military guy to Alberta. And then also, maybe you guys don't want to get so angry. Yeah, or maybe that's a way to make sure we all get in line. You're just like, do you guys want to go to war for the European Union? That's the thing. Their kids are age in university and they're excited because they hate the United States and they hate Trump.

And so they like Mark Carney making deals with, you know, the EU and Europe because, you know, Europe's cool the backpack. And they're like, great, we're diversifying trade. I'm like, okay, but why is it that they're not? All of the trade deals aren't trade deals. They're money and partnerships for like war and literally just more military measures. I'm like they're not, this isn't a trade deal to expand Canada's economy. This is a deal to literally increase military presence. And I'm like, unless you're in favor for war, it's like you want to identify left.

You know, the old Democrats condemned any sort of war. So I'm sorry, but you guys are not, square that hole for me. They can't. That's the neat thing is you just, you take them step by step through their logic. And then they just turn red-faced and get mad at you. It just, it never fails. This one's fun. I wanted to show you guys this.

How to keep perishable food fresh during a power outage. Plus, when experts say you should toss it. But the subheadline, this is, this is great. This is great. actual journalism in 2026. According to experts, keeping your fridge and freezer closed is the best way to keep food fresh for as long as possible. What the hell? Oh, my God.

They've been drinking that Katie soda. Oh, my God. They must have. They must have. And obviously not refrigerated. Oh, my gosh. All right. Is your dad coming back?

or did he have to? I think he's coming back. He probably, yeah. Okay. Yeah, when do you got to go? You got to go. All right. I think that all those people that probably left their fridges open probably took the cannabis.

Let's be real. Yeah. Yeah. They're the ones who are running around outside Bucknaked, uh, attacking children. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So about a month ago on the mashup, we talked about this letter that had been, um, sent

to uh sent to police in i want to say um in surrey or something like that um and now now you fast forward a month just about a month and a half and cbc is reporting on it now to their credit though they actually have a copy of the letter so this is this is from a gang of extortionists and arsonists who sent this to the rcmp in canada okay so this is the bishnoi gang and so you've got Sahib Jot Singh and Amitaz Bajua part of the group of nearly a dozen

Edmonton-based Indian nationals linked to arson shootings and extortions carried out at the behest of the Bishanoi gang. It talks about everything going on with this Bishanoi gang and then here is this letter that this gang sent to the police in Canada and so I thought now that we have a copy of the letter

it would be good to read it. Warning to This is for Canada Defense Minister, Army, and Police. We are giving you a written warning and challenge. We are Indian gang. Canada has no guts to stop us. That is clear. We were ruling Canada. Now no one can stop us.

We are very powerful. No other gang bigger than us. Even your fucking hell angles, white pigs. This is our time now. India, we have more than five thousand. gang members in Canada. We can do shooting for only 1,000. You can stop us no way.

I'm reading this word for word. You will see we will take over Canada soon. This is warning to you all. Stay away from our activates. Otherwise, you might see next newsday shooting on police station all right. We have more guns than Canada police have. And very soon, all white.

pigs community should leave this country. This is not a joke. All right. This is order from Lawrence. Very soon, every business owner will have to pay protection, money to us. It is like taxed no other way around for any business. So do not try to stop us. It doesn't matter Indian or white or black community businessmen. They all have to pay us from Lawrence, gang from India. This is a script right out of AI brought to you by CIS. This is the letter they sent to the RCMP. Yeah, well, if you, there's no such thing as organic terrorism that's easily established.

If you guys are ever going to try to encourage Sean to get a guest on again, get Colonel Tonner Watkins as a repeat guest. and you're going to realize real quickly that most of those types of organizations actually have your own intelligence agencies handprint on them. So just so you know. No, no, it's not a maybe. There's actual, this is fact, evidence, it can be written and found. This is not a guess. This is an actual fact.

There's no organic terrorist organizations in the world. that haven't been backed or funded. No, no, just whatever. These gangs, yeah, and most of the organized crime are also backed by your government. So just so you know, there's more evidence of that. Like most of the five big banks of Canada all have been charged with or associated with money laundering, racketeering, with cartels. And most cartels are backed and organized and funded by the intelligence agencies of the Five Eyes Communities. community. CIA, MI6, CIS. I forget what they're called in Australia and New Zealand,

but same thing with India. So just remember that things are not always as simple as they appear when you get stuff like that that come across your news feeds. It's funny. It's definitely funny, but it's not funny when I've had people come up to me at events and they're talking about, oh, it's the Muslims and all of them are terrorists and it's because of Islam. It's just the nature of them. Meanwhile, I've also done, like, from like Colonel Towner, she was in, she was in the Air Force for 30 years. And there's multiple other generals that after their career did some research in looking into some of these terrorist or organized crime. And then just realized straight up that it is funded and backed by different intelligence groups and then even some, the actual military.

And there's actual academies. There's institutions that are funded in on like in intelligence land that are like warfare academies and cadres that were created to train these people and then send them here. So it's like that's not natural Islam. These are people that went and got training at this like there's one called the Taiwanese political warfare cadre academy. Like these are real institutions that exist and you can find the funding and they train these people and then send them here. And then we get conservative people here that go, oh, it's all the Islam's and it's the nature of them. It's like you are literally just falling for their setup and you're going to go to war with the Muslims as if all of them are like that, not realizing they're trained. It's like you can't guarantee it's not a skin suit, which is basically what was happening also during the, what was it, crusades where there were people that were they were posing as Protestants, but that's not actually what they were.

because again, it's the idea of when you have a group of people that are protesting and then the one person that's the agent that's supposed to spark the whole color revolutionary setup, right? Black Lives Matter is a classic example. Well, they can do that on the sort of right side as well. I think that it's important to understand that they'll do that play for both sides. So that way it institutes some sort of violent reaction. And then someone's going to come in with the problem reaction solutions. They break it up, guys. It's still the Galian. So we have to be careful of our own. It's an ant jar play because the one thing that you won't do when all of a sudden the jar gets shaken up and you're busy going, I'm going to point my finger at Brown and Brown's going to point their finger at yellow and yellow is going to point their finger at

white when all of us should actually look and go, who shook the fucking jar? And that's what's going on. A ton of good points. I love how you guys are just like we do have our own channel, you know. Yeah. Actually, you know what? We haven't talked about that.

So for those of you watching who don't know, throw us a plug. Maddie? At home with homes. People say it's just home with homes and it's intentionally. It's like the at symbol. Tell me you haven't watched my show without telling me you haven't watched a show because I say at the beginning of every show at home with homes because you are at home with the homes.

It is that simple. Yeah, you can try either the at symbol. how to's you have your at 2 to 2 to 2 minutes on X, right? It's like it's at and then home with homes or you can do AT. Like if you search those two things, it should come up. But it's not just home with homes. Yeah, but like anybody who says that is a homes record. Right.

Yeah, totally. Yeah, they are. Exactly. Exactly. No, I wish they were a homes record. It means they'd actually come to our platform. Okay. Where can they find it?

Substack, YouTube, Spotify, Rumble. Yeah, and then we have the socials. We have Facebook's, Instagram, and X, X. Yeah, it's just the reason, not to like go off, but being at so many town halls the way we are. And Alberta is also known as the little Bible Belt, you know, or this is where baby Texas. And I've had people that are, they're like,

I'm Christian and therefore and understanding how terrible Islam is, we need to kick out all the Muslims. Meanwhile, that's, I have active Muslim friends that are not like that at all. And for the independence movement. For the independence movement. So I just get in. Right. Well, exactly. And so I get so annoyed when people broad stroke brush the Islam thing or the Muslims as if it's like,

Are you going to send your kid to go to war? And then again, not understanding that there's actual funding and backing the same people that manipulate our government, that are in our governments are the same people that create these terrorist organizations. Or gangs. And it just bothers me because it's like you're going to fall for another boogeyman. They're always giving you a boogeyman.

If you want a reference, you guys can go to like Matthew Eritt. He's done work on the Gazenko hoax and also the FLQ. affair, yeah. And the FLQ was basically like Canada's sort of reincarnation of what it is that we may be seen today because it was CIS basically like Canada's CIA. Well, they got formed after. It was the RCMP actually that had these terrorist cells. They used them as the excuse to go after political decadence people that were actually,

again, the same people that were more nationalist and actually were trying to do good things. but they needed a reason to why they needed to go in and crack down on them. So then they used the terrorist cells as the excuse, but they created them. And then what happened is when they got caught for doing it, because that's on record, they just rebranded and called themselves ceases. Yeah.

And it's with public oversight. So the thing is, is that in all actuality, it's just a bait and switch tactic. And another thing that people don't understand is that Operation Gladiio or Gladiow units, it's a part of your agreement to be a member of NATO. It's a requirement. It's a requirement that you have gladio units. So Canada has these very units that run operations against its citizens for the betterment of the state or like if you want to

even call it the state, basically the mafia that is government and the gang that is the RCMP that hold the guns and handcuffs. You have more intelligence agents that are actually RCMP members than you do within ceases. I would believe it. I would absolutely believe it. So just be careful when all of a sudden you get told who your enemy is. You should be still looking in

your own backyard. Look up, people. Look up. That's the entire That's the entire. That was a terrible movie. Why did you reference that? It was a terrible. But that's the point of the channel. It's like, anytime you think that there's like,

we always find the new ones where people are like, it's clearly black and white. We're like, no. That's the point of our entire channel. Yeah. That's a good way to put it. Changing your axioms is important when information enters into the zeitgeist. And that's what we try to do.

We try to show people that we're just the regular plebs like anybody else. And we weren't where we were right now six years ago. So everything, all the heavy lifting, you know, that it's like physically that we're trying to do to keep ourselves in good shape and then also to intellectually the heavy lifting is because we're trying to be as honest as we believe that we can be to take a look at the map that we're in, realize the people that are setting up the Overton window frame and starting to ask ourselves, well, who benefits if I think this way? Why do they want me to think this way? What happens if I do exercise my life in the

real world thinking the way that they have nudged or bumped me into thinking and who's going to benefit. And when you start to look into this and you do some research and you start to get some historical context, you can actually start to understand the magic trick that gets played on us. Conservative or not conservative, it doesn't matter. This is a bipartisan thing because a good chunk of the individuals that feel that this is in their best interest besides being sociopaths, they have a tendency to actually believe that we are the talking cattle and that they can just manage and hurt us like those cattle. There's a reason why they give you things like that.

Well, I understand that. But the thing is that you can at any point in time an individual can choose to stop being the moron you were trained to be. So somewhere along the lines, you have to make a personal decision to realize that you need to pick up some mental weights. You've got to grab something that's known as a book, do some reading. Then you also got to go, I can't just take the book at its face value entirely. Got to start doing some research.

Got to be able to cross-reference that it takes work to understand. But the thing is, is that once you understand the magic trick, it gets easier. It gets easier and easier to start to see the threads. Then all of a sudden, it's kind of like, you know, like goaltenders are constantly using eye programs. it's like they do eye training for being able to puck tracking. And over time, the instinct for them to be able to catch something that on average is traveling faster than cognitive processes from the left hemisphere can allow is because it's a right hemisphere instinct.

It's a fully embodied experience that happens. So you can do that as well when you start to understand the magic tricks that get played on us to get us in divide-to-conquer scenarios so that we don't actually hold accountable the people that helped put us into the circumstances that we're currently trying to navigate. Can't argue with that.

I like it. Oh, seriously. Like, just, the only thing you left out was the craft dinner soda. Oh, my God. Fair enough. Okay. Here's,

here's, here's something you guys are probably going to hate or love. I'm not quite sure. But this is, a Western Massachusetts, this is from the Boston Globe, a Western Massachusetts lesbian bar required KN95 masks. When it changed the rules, all hell broke loose.

So what happened was, was they wanted to build a community and they were having trouble making ends meet. While still, in the year 2026, this isn't an old article. This article just came out. August 31st, Instagram post said that, updates. It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas

we will be opening Saturday nights as a mask optional. And then the firestorm erupted. Everybody got mad. Just say you're being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with. People like you kill disabled people

in the name of your own leisure and convenience. I hope your venue gets firebomb for robbing my fellow immunocompromise people of their Saturday plans. just to scrape extra revenue from abelists. And so they get all this backlash. And so then they write an apology. They say,

we're sorry for our passive and dismissive tone of our change to the norms and schedule impacting the most intersectional of us. We understand everyone faces intersections and we're always working to consider all needs fully. But here's the problem, was that they wrote that as an Instagram like picture post, which meant that it didn't have alt text

for visually impaired people. and so then other people got bad and this is not an accessible it indicates the lack of care or interest in disability intersectionality and then

so this is did Peter Begozian and James Lindsay rate this because this sounds like the kind of punking that they did you could never come up with this but they did and that's how they did they showed the hoax of of this whole ideology

they did papers that got voted up. I don't know if you know that, but yes, yes, absolutely. This sounds like one of their papers. It does. It does. Last ditch, which opened last year is a bar for Dykes, transsexuals, gender freaks, workers, and their friends is struggling.

Three housemates in their mid-20s opened it together, hoping to fill the void left by two local queer bars that had shuttered. Okay. They, they allow people to come in who uh who couldn't um afford the cover charge it was it was very um it was you know very open and inclusive and it just kept on and going it kept on going with all this stuff but by

the time last ditches monthly community meeting on september 11th only one of its original founders metellion was still involved the the interest has been dying off gradually the two others step back from the daily operations month before, Matillion says, citing various personal pressures and health issues, one had enrolled in clown school. They also have a monthly meeting where everybody who wants to put in their two cents about how the bar should be run gets to attend. And so for one of these, there are some 10 people seated in a circle on the dance floor

all wearing masks, Matillion, a handful of volunteers, some bar patrons, and two designated mediators who will facilitate conversational. between parties who disagree. Another 10 or 15 people join the meeting via Zoom. The plan is to go clockwise sharing views on the masking decisions and the final financial future of the bar. And then this just goes into chaos. When it comes time for one of the mediators,

a licensed therapist to speak, she takes a conciliatory tone. I love that you're here online, but these platforms alienate us from each other. I'm talking about social media. She asks whether participants can try to remove themselves from places of righteousness. It's messed up that the mediator is dismissing those attending virtually. That's not accessibility.

A lot of people are calling for an acknowledgement of harm, and I'm hearing from a white therapist. What the heck? It just keeps going. It's going. The battalion tells the group her credit score is trashed. For six months, she's lived in her truck because she was pouring money into the bar. She works four different jobs.

is responsible for paying off the $50,000 loan, the three took out to launch the business. And the online critics are unmoved. You chose to use your time to spill tears and center your feelings. Noir posts in the chat. This is incredibly racist and deflecting behavior. Eventually after three and a half hours of discussion, this thing went on for three and a half hours.

Wow. Okay. Noir spends the hours after the meeting posting furious Instagram stories about Mattelian and Last Ditch. Matelian who uses she they pronouns Has been shedding white they them tears he writes The bar is not a safe environment Nor nor interested in revolutionary praxis

I reached noir who identifies As a gender expansive lesbian and uses he him pronouns It's a dude who likes chicks By Zoom a few days later I ask whether he has any sympathy for those running last ditch Given the profound financial strain there under No he replies he asked not to be

he has to be referred to by his stage name because he says he's been stalked and fears for his safety. I'm not going to give grace when someone is spreading rhetoric that can and will get people hurt. He says referring to the fact that the bar account had liked a few comments supporting the relaxed rule on masks. These ablest ideas that disabled people, immunocompromise people should either risk their health

or just be pushed out of spaces, he says. He lives 50 minutes north, south of the town, with the bars in and has visited it seven or eight times. And he's still this involved. He's not even going in once a month. Okay. This is also their free store, which carries food, clothes, fentanyl test strips, Narcan, literature about STIs and other supplies.

Above us hangs a sign, prom canceled because lesbians. Somebody online said, I'm sorry, all four. 400 of these people live in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Okay. And then a number of people on Instagram have also said they were excited to visit the space unmasked. But this night, the hoped four other patrons haven't materialized despite $10 cocktails and sternum shivering dance tracks from DJ Harsh Noise Boyfriend. Just after midnight, one patron is left at the bar, a regular who works at the Mexican restaurant next door. She wonders aloud about holding a Lady Gaga-themed night,

but Mixie Demures, Lady Gaga is cancelled. Gaga is Zionist. The DJ is still playing EDM, and Mattelian is alone on the checker dance floor, making pensive, graceful loops on the stripper pole, KN95 mask in place. Dude, this reminds me of like the stupid mask thing where it's like you have someone else has to wear

in order for yours to work. Like none of them. this would fucking matter if it actually was just like, dude, if you want to wear your mask because you think you're immunocomperized, it's actually going to do something for you. You don't need other people to be wearing a fucking mask if the mask works. Oh my God. Is the J.P. Sears,

when he puts on the life jacket, he's like, okay, I need you to put on the life jacket so that my life jacket will work. So this whole thing is just, and this is in 2026. This is, I mean,

this just happened in the last couple of hours. That sounds like a hard life to live. Like to live your assistance. My court is always risen just hearing about it. Like this is as bad for me as that Katie Soda. That's terrible. You liken the two of those together? Well, she got triggered.

Yeah. Yeah. Both are cancerous. You feel strongly about the quality of yourself. I have hope. I have hope for humanity. Yeah. You just read something.

And then you do this. dashes. Yeah. Like, what do you do? Don't you understand the experiments that were done with rats when they got put into the vat of water? And then the average life of the rat is like a 15 minute excursion. And then if you see the rat, just, yeah, no, no, they pulled them out. They tried them off. They got them comfortable again, a little bit of food, and put them back into the damn thing. Then they went for hours, right? So it's like when you read something like that,

you put us back into the 15 minute death state. I'm good with that being a 15 minute death state. That poor lady who's stuck running it and trying to navigate the committee of people who barely ever go to the bar and still want to chime in on what they're supposed to do. While she's got volunteer drag queens bartending for tips because they believe in the community. And she's hoping to just get out of it. She's just trying to get out. she wants to turn it into a commune.

Dude, like, how many lesbians does it take to change a light bulb? And the answer is none, because they all take three hours and decide that it's too racist to fucking change a light bulb. Like, oh, my gosh. I mean, I thought it was hilarious that she said she'd been living in her truck because, like, of course, she has a truck. My van life.

Yeah. Not, not like living in her car, but she's a lesbian. She's a lesbian bar owner, so obviously she needs a pickup truck. Okay. This just happened on the top of a mountain. Devil's thumb in Banff. For those of you listening and not watching, on the top of a mountain mountain,

somebody wrote on a big rock there. Kurt Najee, Heri, Ravnit, Zhugez, Arjun, September 18th, 2026. And then Arjun, 19th, September, 2026 earned every step the view was worth it. The view of you graffeting

the top of a mountain isn't worth it. And I don't even like the mountains. I'm from Saskatchewan. Chop them all down. Dude, I'm just laughing because his is 19th and they're all 18 so it's like he got left behind. He's like it was worth it guys. You must have been the overweight

friend or something. Like what asked? Why didn't even make until 19? What the bike? I think the important takeaway for this is that you know maybe you're somebody who likes to hike and you've got like the the poles and you've got the fancy boots and you've got the gear and you've got special like just the right amount of sweat material so that you're not getting too warm or too cold and you've got the water

bottle waistband and and the hat that should be a camelback their water on their back right and then sipping from yeah okay and you got all that stuff and you're you're taking it super seriously. And it's like, on your left, on your left, realize that all these guys made it up there in flip-flops. And that left you left you something

to remember them by. Okay. In the sports desk, I don't know how closely you guys follow baseball or not. But it's Chiro,

Tsiro Suzuki, 52 years old. He pitched an all-star game against the top female high school athletes in Japan and threw a 127 strike shutout. It just keeps going.

It's just strikeout. After strikeout, after strikeout. I don't think a single person got even to first base. So let me get this. right. Japan decided to take a Sy Young winner and put them up against

yeah, but and put them up against the girls. At the age, the best girls in the country. Yeah, yeah. Like, was this like some sort of humiliation ritual? Is this, is this

a normal thing for the Japanese to do? Yeah, like, what did they do? What the heck? Yeah, to be, to be entertained. Were they trying to prove a point? It was just supposed to be an all-star game, just kind of like a fun fundraiser type thing. Oh, okay. Yeah, 17 strikeouts.

Yeah, well, I know who he is. That's why I'm like, wow. I mean, the fact that he's like, well, I guess I'm going to just own every person that comes up to the plate. Yeah, yeah, it was a massacre. It was, I can't, I don't know what it says in Javis. But I'm pretty sure it's something along the lines of fatality. Do you know what the average speeds of his pitches were for throughout that entire time?

Because like that's, you know, so at the age of 52, that's all nine innings, right? Three up and three down. Because I'm assuming he was pitching for both sides, right? Or no. No, no, no. It was like a bunch of all stars. I was just like leave them out there and like get them to go. It was it was a bunch of all stars against the.

the top female high schoolers. So, but I mean, like, if you're sitting there in right field, do you even bother standing up at some point? But you've got to stay standing for, you know, like for good posture. I feel bad for all the people that went on to their Sydney, Sweeney sports betting have been lost. For all. So anyway, that's, that's what happened in the sports desk.

this week and now happy news every week we end the show with some happy heartlifting or heartwarming uplifting story and this week we go to Quebec we go to fucking Quebec where Quebec diving student attacked by Great White Shark and Gulf of St.

Lawrence what? Yeah that's happy what? Oh my God yeah it's happy news you don't

you didn't like this student I just don't really like fucking Quebec. So per se Quebec, the province's gas Bay region, according to a guy named Plongay, per se. You mean Giuseppe? Yeah, so whatever,

blah, blah, blah. Just checking. So anyway, not only, like, it's getting so bad that even the sharks are tired of their shit. I mean, so I'm just more curious about how far,

because like, that shark really must appreciate Putin because I mean to go all the way up to St. Lawrence to go and get a Quebecer specifically. You know what I'm saying, right? Like that's a long way for a shark to go, go get some Quebec takeout. So, oh, okay, apparently, like when they say it's the St. Lawrence

Seaway, it's just in that whole kind of loose area. Oh my gosh. Okay. This is, so yeah, it's, how the hell? is Prince Edward Island a province and whatever the hell island this is Anticosti Island which is noticeably larger and right next to it not its own province

but yeah anyway so you got this is this is on like the very tip of fucking Quebec where it goes all the way out and so it's it's right there like you can see it Oh okay okay here's here's PEI that's not a far stretch

no no no no and like it's it's not even that far from Newfoundland or or the French islands these are so he's had his the shark clearly had his fill of Newfoundlander I mean Newfoundlander decided to change it up

I think of Quebec Clause quite good this time of year it was probably more like dude if you don't quit with that language I'm just gonna fucking bite you French oh my gosh so

bonn a petitit the world is healing This is your idea of good news. A Quebecer gets attacked by a show. Did they, how'd they do? Is it one of those? Like, you should see the other guy? The meal.

He received first aid before being transported. His life's not in danger. He sustained upper body injuries, including to his chest, left shoulder, and back. I just turned around and saw the shark attacking him. It happened in a flash. One second, he wasn't there. One second, he was there.

And the next second, he was gone again. I realized there was some blood in the water and then we surfaced and we got him as how you say

quickly as possible onto the boat and back to the show. Tabit and neck. That's actually a pretty good impression too. So anyways. Not bad for a melon head. There you go.

I hope I didn't traumatize you guys too thoroughly. No, it's an honor. It was a lot of fun. That's a little different than our show's tempo. No, yeah, because you're very like, it's like rapid fire and like different topics. Yeah, rapid fire of all depravity and turpitude are of our entire civilization. I'm traumatized. Now she's even more motivated for Alberta independent.

We need moral standing. I wanted to spend a bunch of time talking about Alberta and the referendum coming up. And then I was like, there's just a few things that are too out there to not talk about. And so how do you not pass that up? That's how you end up with Kraft Dinner soda. How hard did you have to look for that one? I got it sent to me. Oh, nice.

Crowdsourced. Yeah. Yeah. I definitely appreciated that. But it's kind of at the point now where like if something, if someone's like, that is the dumbest thing I have ever. seen since last week. It'll just... Since last week.

They too, check this out. And then something... Yeah, they're like, I know who to try with this. That's the part that just hatched by hand, like my smile again. Because there are people that go, this got to be the most stupid thing I've ever come across. Oh, Tews is going to love it. That's exactly.

That's where this is going now. The mashup ends up being just a crowd source. Dude, the mashup is the mess up. Like a humanity, society. Oh, my God. Well, dude, literally just the other day we heard about the fact that B.C. is now spilling, how much are they spending a couple million dollars to remove the blackberry bushes? Like, that's what...

Are they racist? Like, what kind of a blueberry supremacist? Yeah, yeah, blackberries. So it's, because it's an invasive species that's not indigenous. to Canada. They literally have somebody on payroll and their job is to go and remove the invasive species of Black Beres. Well, there's a lot of things that are invasive to Canada right now, but they're not removing that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Somebody needs to plant a bunch of Blackberry bushes around the Chinese police stations. That's all I'm saying.

Oh my gosh. That's a topic for another show. Yeah. Okay. All right. Oh, community notes. We got to do community notes. And I almost forgot, which sucks because, well, I mean, I didn't forget, which is good. But so right off the bat, there is, and I don't know if I still have it up here or not. Shoot, I don't still have it up. But there's some kind of the, the Freedom Bus, the, the Let Alberta. Yes. Let's talk Alberta. Yeah, let's talk Alberta bus. Let's talk Alberta. It's Whistle Stop Cafe, which needs no introduction. Mirror Alberta.

Shout out to Chris. And then we've got the Maspiel. Okay, so here's, for those of you listening, guys, the Mast Spiel sold out in Kalamar last year. I'm going to be doing it again this year. It's going to have all the stuff you loved about it last year,

which is twos, and none of the stuff that you didn't love about it, which is Sean, because he's going to be on vacation. So we need to figure out, though, if there's enough to justify a second date in Saskatchewan. So reach out to Sean. And this is just, this is just, this is just preliminary. We'll get there eventually.

We just don't know if, if we've built up enough momentum to make that jump just yet. So bug the hell out of Sean, spam him, get your friends to, to, to do. it. We just need to know if there's enough, if it's going to be worthwhile to try and do a second tournament. So Calmar's on this year. Details to come because they haven't been figured out yet, because it's going to kind of depend on this. But we want to know if there's enough. And by we, I mean me, because Sean's not going to be there. So anyway, I'm kidding. But he was, he beat my team last year. So that's it. And this needs to get updated all over the place.

But October 17th, the rally in the Edmonton legislature before the referendum, be there or be square, guys. Yeah, Mani and I will be speaking at it. So. Yep. Nice. It'll be a big one. I didn't even get invited. So I'm kind of jealous. Yeah, but you're not the face. of the youth movement.

Yes, that's what? Oh, it's because it's because you, it's because you would try the KD soda and we wouldn't choose. That's why. A free Alberta will give you the option of KD. soda. No.

No. Oh, yeah. So now we're going to have. I hate to break it to you, but we are the next generation. I'm not letting you drink your KD fucking soda. So a separated Alberta is going to be some,

Katie so free. My detainal. Fascist. Yeah. My dictatorship. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

You'd be better off drinking vodka, too. All right. Okay. Well, thanks guys so much for coming on. Oh, as an honor. Thank you for having us. We hope it was as much fun for you as it was for us because that was a lot of fun. Okay.

Well, that's good. I was a couple times. I'm like, did I go too far? So. No, no, no, no, no. No, we're not exposed to this level of depravity on a regular basis. We actually have like a very uplifting, you know, family vibe. So you really, you just, you hit the record, you know, you've really exposed us beyond our reaches.

Like, think, think of, think of us as like, we just, we just did a little bit of whoring with you. You know what I mean? So it's like, we're the next Sydney, Sweeney. Tell you what? If you guys can do a photo shoot like that for the mass spiel, the second location is just going to give it at that point. You first. I don't promote only fans.

A little bit slumming with twos on the mashup. Thanks for tuning in. And if you laughed as much as I did, maybe hit one of the random buttons that does all kinds of good things for the show. Thanks, everybody. Thank you, everyone.
