I was almost, oh, it was one hour, one minute. I thought it was one hour on the dot. Nice. This Canada inflation, Bank of Canada inflation thing, has me absolutely laughing. It's interesting because, like, two years ago, I sent this, I see Mark's in the chat. I'll tell you guys what we were talking about today a little bit. I sent this to Mark two years ago in the Guardian, or three years ago in the Guardian, there was a story that basically said central banks around the world need to abandon their

2% inflation target to prevent financial calamity. And it seems to me like only Bitcoiners were talking about it at that point. And no one else is really listening. You know, everyone still thinks inflation 2% target is intact. They're gunning for this. They talk about how far away banks are from the inflation target of 2%. Even guys like Jeff Gunlock who go on, you know, CNBC every time there's a Fed meeting, talk about how far off the inflation target is from the actual inflation.

And it's always this 2% anchor. Bitcoiners were so far ahead on this. And now in Canada, a place where inflation is so bad you can't buy a house, they're going to abandon this, or core inflation, I should say, as a metric that they look at to determine whether or not they need to make a move on policy. That, to me, is absolutely insane. Absolutely insane. It's like Canadian kids are probably in the worst boat of any kid in the world.

Like, European countries are totally fucked. Japan obviously fucked for a number of reasons. Australia is another one that's challenging. They're fucked. It's funny. Like, all these countries, by the way, say that the U.S. is in the worst shape. Like, they're a country that's in decline, whatever. The U.S. as a percentage of, as a percentage of the total, the U.S.

Central Bank owns very little U.S. debt. It's like 7% of all issuance. Meanwhile, here in Canada, it's like 14, 15, something like that. Japan's up at, you know, 45 or 50s, even higher than that. And in the States, it's like 7%. They're actually in the best fiscal situation that's not close. It's funny. All these guys are on TV constantly just talking to each other.

They'll never say this to Trump or to the American media, of course. Like any competent person would just look this up. But Canada now abandoning inflation as a metric to decide policy at the worst possible time. I mean, well, fuck. I mean, you say whatever you want. Core. What are they going to do, change or something? could change the super core or whatever drone pales got a million different names for it why can't tiff

right but um interesting i actually think this is going to go arm in arm with the budget that's coming out in a month that the the interim pbo guy is on every show talking about how fucked we are uh to anyone who will have them and now uh minister champagne is on tv talking about how we're going to spend less and invest more it's like this is like mind numbing this is the kind of stuff that three years ago would have sent me into an anxiety attack for sure

my wife would tell me to put my phone down and stop talking about it but now Len Serenity now I'm Zen baby I got my pumping spice latte here it's October

we're rolling in the all time highs and I just I have a house my daughter's going to be fine financially I'm going to be fine financially people who listen to this show

are going to be fine financially and it's like everyone else is just fucked and has no idea. It's really, it's honestly too bad. It's honestly too bad. But at this point, it's, it's basically a done deal. Do you subscribe to that theory that 2% inflation is a target that should be reached? Is that the goal that we should be striving for?

And by the way, like the two, like my, my thoughts on inflation, I said this before on the show, when the show is a lot smaller, we used to talk about all the time. But my thoughts are the same as every other competent person that the reason inflation is 2% is because, that's how you keep entitlements in check, pensions, benefits, and whatnot that are related or indexed to the inflation number. Well, you have to keep it low because otherwise you can't pay people 8% more every year on their pension. Germany dealing with that now, right? Germany out and out saying that their economy can no longer support the pension payments. So, I mean, everyone is having these problems. And I think the reason you let inflation run hot is because you think you can inflate your way out of a deficit problem and maybe get things

back in order. But like Lynn Alden says, man, nothing stops this train. It's, it's over already. And the question is now, what do we get next? Do we get some kind of like techno-fascism? Do we get communism? Do we get, you know, like Hervoy, Morich says, the algorithm ghetto. What do we get some combination of the three? I don't know. Or do we get the AI revolution? As far as I can tell, we're building nuclear facilities next to data centers. can just produce AI slop. So, I don't know. Bitcoin is foiling the oceans, yeah, they're happy to, so the 2% is, it's an admission

that the money supply is expanding, because things wouldn't inflate across the board without new money being injected in the system. So that's a very Keynesian way of doing things. Yeah, it's, because you have to borrow. So the 2%, like, it's just, it's ingrained, oh, you've got to reach it, it's the best, who the fuck cares? It could be 0%. then it could be negative 2%.

Let the market decide to which way it should be going. That's really the best way. If things are desirable, the price of that should go up. Not because there's more money in this system. It's just because more people want to get it. Or if they find efficiencies on making something

and now they can mass produce it far cheaper and easier, the price of that should go down. And it's not subjected to how much money is being pumped to this system. I like a closed loop. Totally. You're 100% right. be like that but it's not right now canada i'm not sure if you heard this is i heard it today and i was fucking floored now canada's decided budgets are now going to fall

never have i have seen this before it's always the springtime aprilish give or take a few weeks buddy they're they're repairing the plane in the air right now and it's not looking good for people that are wondering what the fuck i'm saying is instead of having to budget the federal budget come out every April-ish they're going to do it now every fall October, November-ish I don't know what the fuck, this year it's going to be November but they're not going to do it

it's every year it's going to be the fall. What does this mean man? Then everybody's going to have to that's tied to this is going to have to adjust your schedule. Whatever is you know we have Canada post on strike still. It's now what week and a half into it. It was two Fridays ago they decided to start this thing. You know

in Alberta even teachers are in strike. elementary and friend of the show I won't say his name but we're talking about it today actually on Twitter and there's somebody yeah I think that's the very same person that

just want to thank him for trying very hard to land us a very prominent Albertan to come on the show but it seems like she is very busy with other things they got the strike over there teacher strike so it's too bad so sad probably won't pan out it could also be because we

do a Hamilton versus Brampton Man segment every week. Hard to say what the cause was, yeah. We could change it. We could do Calgary Man versus Edmonton Man. No, but what's like, I'm trying to think. It'd be like, it would have to be like Fort Mac Man, yeah, Fort Mac Man versus Calgary Man for sure, yeah.

A man was driving a Dodge Challenger. Another guy was a pickup truck. Yeah. But that's where we're at. Now we have strikes on the educational side, strikes on are Canada posted like it's just nobody can say that things are going the way it should be

yeah but yet we have a budget that's going to come out in November whatever the reason the reason that it comes out in the spring usually is because the fiscal year for government everyone ends in March and so so you release the budget after that and you have a sort of clean slate whatever and then also then why else because if your budget doesn't land then you go into an election

when in the summer, when it's warm or in the early fall, when it's warm. Well, this is typically what we see. We don't see winter elections. And now, if the budget doesn't land, you have six months where you're not going to have an election because no one wants to go to the polls in the winter. And so you have time to eat into some of the negative public opinion that might come your way. And I expect that to happen here.

I think everybody does. And they're going to be immune to it because no one's going to the polls. I know you talk about all the time. You can't go to the poll anyway because, you know, the NEP is not going to support it and they don't have any money. I'm with you there. But as a general rule, we don't go to the polls in the winter. And so now they have this buffer between when we would go to, it's just all of this is

it's all strategic. There's no good reason to do this except because they want to do it. Well, you can't go to the polls because people are watching rugby matches too. They're watching Love is Blind, which just started the other day. Was that like a Netflix show or something? Oh, yeah, that's the best. You guys, you should watch with your wife. You should watch it with your wife.

No. Yeah, check it out. No. Again, as I get older, I'm become either more stubborn or principled, more principled. And man, Netflix is going to get nothing. I'm holding to Singapore on there. Now I'm going to get one fucking these guys. Fuck them. This is for me to hold on too. Thank you with Ann Wedge. Government shutdown in the States is going on. Love it. Love it. Nothing has changed. The odds on polymarket of it going more than 30 days are higher than they've ever been. you know what's it's essential employees they're like active duty military law enforcement air traffic controllers they're required to work without pay oh imagine showing up to work i guess we get paid in the future but imagine going up to work like you're not you don't get anything you're just a volunteer so to speak very well trained

like you know they are traffic controllers that i can't fucking do it You studied you through a course to learn it in 30 days. I still can't fucking do it. These people, they know what they're fucking doing. What they're doing without pay right now. Oh, man. Yeah.

Oh, man. This happens periodically. Didn't they give them a blank slate to say you guys could just. I don't remember. Wasn't there like the ceiling, the debt ceiling, they decided, well, just fuck with it. Or there was going to be no debt ceiling for 18 months or something like that?

Did that expire? I can't remember. It's so funny. It feels to me like, any other time, any other era that would have been big news that I would remember but there's just so much stuff going on that I just I already forgot. I already forgot. I have no

idea if that actually went through. Lenn's looking it up right now. I have no idea if that No, no, no. Wasn't that? I thought that was a Trump to policy. So, I mean, it's been a year-ish, you know, is he did that

what happened? I don't know. I thought they give him carte blanche here to do whatever to fuck they want with this stuff and so they did it deals with so now more strikes on this case people are just being

forced to stay home because they run out of cash and they can just can make it okay let's talk about making it this person did Harvard

they hired this drag queen named Lahore Vagistan and she's going to or this person is going to be joining as a visiting

professor and teach a class at Harvard. It's a show called a show called Rupal drag race.

Yeah. So love it. Harvard looks like they're going to be getting some new influx of colors over there.

Colorful wardrobe. Why should anyone pay to go to a public university? This is private. They take public funds. Like all these universities take public funds.

That was the state college. I know, but the universities and states still take public funds. And this was the crux of this, you know, commentary from Trump earlier, that universities who want to be biased and do stupid shit can do whatever they want, but they can't do it and take public money, not with their huge endowments, not with their political slants, they're not going to get public money anymore. What do you call this?

By the way, by the way, again, just to cover all our bases here, Len and I are not saying that we are, you know, attacking, we're not attacking the trans. community, okay? I don't care about that community at all. It never crosses my mind. I could give two shits about it. I know, I'm just reporting on this. What I care about, what I care about is this is supposed to be higher ed. Is this

higher ed? You got to dig down deep, joy, right? Because the stage name, Lahore Vajistan, and it's because this person has Pakistani roots, from what I understand, family traces to Pakistan. There's a city called Lahore, over there,

Rajasthan, Pakistan. So as you can see, there's a reason why they went to with this. Yeah, I like this. You're going to register online class? What do you think? Should we register?

If I had to go, I'd have to go in person. I don't want to, like, online. You don't get the full scope of this. True, true. If you want to absorb the spectrum of colors, you've got to do it in person. You want to get a feel for the content.

Yeah, you want to get a feel for the content. You got to do it in the classroom. Yeah. You like how President Trump is talking about sending money Does stimulus checks? I love it. I love simi checks.

And this is all because of using the tariffs That's tariffs money That they've been accumulated. So it's more stimulus. Look, Trump How How fucking bad is this He's the best.

He's the best. No, no, he ain't, man. You know what the funniest thing is? These guys sold tariffs as a way to get the U.S. financial situation under more control, and what happened? They got the tariff money, and they're just going to send it out to everybody to spend on KFC. This is unbelievable. They just, all that happens is government increases revenues and increases expenditures plus more to match every single time.

Every single time is what they do. Not just this, everyone does this. Every government does this. That's all they do. It's all they know how to do is spend fucking money, man. Why don't we can make an argument that they could spend it on a program that wouldn't resonate well with the people? I'm trying to give them credit for this one. It's hard for me to do it.

But if I'm going to have to, I'm going to dig deep here, because they could send money to some program in some other country that doesn't affect them directly. Yeah. So rather than doing that, why not give the money directly to the people? I'm not saying they shouldn't do it. If they're going to spend the money anyway, then send it to every. everyone who's, you know, apparently suffering with increased pricing because these tariffs are being

passed to consumers. By the way, federal reserve in the state says that is not happening. Professional economists wrong again. Even my thinking on this. So knowing that this thing is going to, it's just a runaway mess. Yeah. There's no way to stop this, right?

You're talking about the fiscal situation. Yeah. Whatever. 37 trillion in debt. What am I off a trillion? Whatever. It's going up 10 billion a minute, whatever. 10 billion a second or something.

So it's gone So why not just let people have a little bit of fun Here's a couple of grand You know Everyone gets Everyone gets $2,000 And a Dary and Lake weekend pass Have fun

We'll see you in a couple of weeks Good luck I think they're going to sell out a crab again At places like Miami and shit like that way I don't know They ran out of the fucking crap You know what's funny They had that

The Red Lobster in the States Had that like resurgence On the back of a new dish Talk about like a sign of the times. The new food option was a crab boil that they gave to you in a plastic bag. So they had like a plastic bag full of boiled crab and other seafood. It's like a gumbo maybe or something like that or a stew. And they just hand it to you in a bag.

Here you go. Here's your seafood boil. Like that's that is the situation the U.S. is in right now. That's enough to bring a company back from the dead. I love. I love it. I love these stories. Love them.

Red Lobster go and claim bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Did they? They might have, but I don't know. In Canada, no. But in the United States, I've heard that they were. What's worse? Red Lobster or Swiss chalet? Yeah, I think Swiss chalet.

Yeah, I think Swiss chalet is probably the worst restaurant on Earth. Not the worst of the two. There's far worse than that. Come on. I can't think of one at the top of my head. Tim is Tim Horton is it considered a restaurant What is Tim Horton is considered If you're sitting down

You have to be able to sit down when you order And someone's gonna bring you your food sitting down That's a restaurant I like Denny's better than with chalet Buddy the Grand Slam is a classic Is it? The Americans won wars on the Grand Slam Are you kidding me? Come on

I can't I don't know I'd like to hear what people think about this what's the shitier. Leave us a car in Quebec, isn't it? That's what it's called? I like Sandy Bear. It's Des Moly. I like it.

It's good. How could you like one? It's one with the clown suit on. Take the clown suit off. They're the same fucking person. Chicken costume, yeah. Anyways, let's talk about this beauty of an article in the New York Times talking about Roundup and Ace is an opinion piece.

Spraying Roundup on crops is fine. Really? That's the fucking title. Roundup. This stuff that people. talk about this causes cancer right up coming yeah yeah they say according to this there's no

significant risk to human health when used properly and they say the scientific evidence does not support the public sphere they lost the lawsuit montanto lost a lawsuit on the roundup question like 20 years ago 30 years ago why are we still talking about this

they're saying that the acute toxicity of the thing is lower than common health household substances like caffeine. There's some truth to that. Because if you take a table, sorry, teaspoon of pure caffeine, dead, they're shortly thereafter. I don't think if you take a teaspoon or sniff the roundup.

Yeah, you die 20 years. Right. Maybe not that long. Maybe it's a 10 minute thing. But so, yeah, but like, let's be honest, scientific evidence, you know, they're talking, you know, they use this when it's needed. and another time they can muff it up and just, oh, no, it's fucking,

I want to know how much Roundup paid to have a lot. Your time? Yeah, yeah, right, come on. What the fuck? I know that food quality and growing food is a huge thing, but at the expense of giving people

or increasing the chance of getting cancer, no, fuck that. I just want to shout out, we've got some rumble chat here, Crypto unicorns, St. Hubert, way better than Switzerland. How is it? better. Everyone knows, man.

I want to know. I don't travel a lot, Quebec. I don't know what the fuck. I'm with you. I think Michelle is terrible. It's absolutely dog shit. Some of the worst food on the planet. I love a good quarter chicken, too, by the way. I'll eat a quarter chicken at home. My wife actually bought one of those

pre-cooked chickens at the grocery store today we had it for dinner. Costco chickens. Yeah. Well, we got it from Metro. We didn't go to Costco, but yeah. Costco chickens, those are fantastic. Yeah, I love it. It's done ripe. UK, we talked about UK before. Let's talk about them again.

Sure. They're thinking about guaranteeing work for young people up to 18 months. 18 months is a little young to be working, isn't it? No, hey, not an 18 months-year-old. It's people that have been off work, long-term joblessness. They're going to be trying to provide the mandatory work with benefits. Listen, providing mandatory work. Think about that.

You know, like, you know, a long time ago. I love people ages. You can go pick up the garbage at a migrant hotel where everyone's living for free. Enjoy your job, your new career. So people between ages 18 and 21 who have been on universal credit for 18 months without earning or learning,

they're going to be potentially given one of these guaranteed offers. They're going to get a workplace, a work placement, or an apprenticeship to help them learn a trade or a place in college to continue their studies. or some way one-on-one supports to find a job. Wonderful stuff.

They want to abolish long-term youth employment. And stop bringing over 100 million people. Try that. Have you tried not bringing over migrants who take those jobs? Have you given that any thought, Kear? Or come in. Come in, Kear. Can you hear me?

Or bring down to St. Hubert's in fucking London. And nobody could work there because there's one less. St. Hubert's restaurant to fucking have people work in. We got to do something about this St. Hubert's. St. Hubert, come on the show. Listen, I love the UK. The UK now is a Black Mirror episode and it gets worse by the

day. Everyone over there is just fucking fed up. They're fed up. I can't wait to see what happens over there. True powder keg in the UK right now. Would you rather live in the UK? Or Brampton. Probably the UK. Yeah. Was that

the question? No, that's interesting. Yeah. UK, better shopping. Better shopping in the UK. Sneakers and stuff, sneakers and stuff in the UK is one of my favorite stores. I used to dream at that website. I went there once when I went to the UK with my wife. They also have a Nike lab in London where I got, I spent like a lot of money on shoes when I was there. There was an interesting stat I saw. I can't rhyme it off entirely, but it was if you strip out the city of London from UK, their GDP per capita is way below. every state.

I believe it. So it just shows you how much wealth is in London and it's propping up the GDP per capita statistic over there. So if you're going to move there. And I think in London, like the, this core of it, there's certain days you could drive. You can't. I think it's like one day's even numbers.

Another day is odd number. License plates could drive. So it's, it's fucking congested, all this shit. Whatever. All right. It's time to move to the. Hamilton versus Brampton Man segment brought to you by 256 heat keep talking I'm going to show you the minor I replaced my minor with a new one courtesy of Twan he wanted a fancy one on camera

It's plugged in right now. Okay, there you are you. See, as I mentioned, you don't even know what's there. No. All right. So let's talk about the Closing the chat. Okay, here we go.

Here we go. Four and one, five and one so far. Number one, we have police arrested a suspect in a robbery of a convenience store were the thief wore a Dolly Parton-style wig. A 61-year-old man was charged. It was around 3 a.m.,

police responded to a max convenience store. And police were provided information that a male dressed as a female wearing a blonde wig and mini-skirt. And according to police, the man used a sharp-edged weapon to threaten a loan employee to steal cigarettes, not cash, cigarettes. Okay, okay.

Please say there were no injuries from the incident, the 61-year-old. year old has been charged with robbery and disguised with intent and according to police surveillance video provided assisted them with the arrest. I guess just finding the big 61 year old dude wearing a fucking miniskroar wig. It's easy enough to find out. He's headed to Harvard for class. He got lost on the way. It's number one. Number two, we have charges laid against a man for allegedly assaulting a waitress after attempted dine and dash according to the OPP. A man in T-shirt shorts flip-flop is seen screaming dead giveaway dead giveaway maybe not maybe not see maybe i throw these in

as a way to fucking trick you okay yeah yeah maybe trying as a staff member as he left a restaurant without paying the bill the couple who allegedly fled without paying the bill were part of a larger group that had run up the tab and one of the people there was working felt that they had were disrespected the couple walked away the owner of the restaurant said he and her colleague who was there they decided to follow them with hopes of getting the license plate number The couple disappeared down in alley and they did not follow him further. But they did return back to the restaurant after the authorities were called. They found them and took a day.

He was identified and came back to the restaurant, settled his bill and offered an apology that they did. $371, including Tip, was paid in full the day after this happened. And this all came about because this was posted on social media. And a man, 38 years old, was found facing charges of assault and uttering threats to cause bodily. harm. Who paid the bill, a 38-year-old or someone from the party? Now, a 38-year-old came in and paid it all in full the day after. This is a tough one. I'll tell you why it's a tough one.

The Brampton Man, the average Brampton Man, does not dress up as Dolly Parton. He doesn't wear the Dolly Parton wig. Because it just doesn't fit with the Brampton Man ethos, you know? It doesn't fit. It doesn't fit the Brampton Man aesthetic, let's say. on the other hand every picture i see of brampton men you know after they crash like 18 wheelers they're always wearing flip-flops so part of me thinks that a large group where a guy in flip flops touches a waitress they don't pay but then why come back this is the other thing why the brampton man also does not return to the scene of the crime you know the brampton man does not do that. So

but then the Brampton man the Brampton man doesn't really smoke either. The Brampton man is not a smoker. He's not a smoking archetype. His avatar does not smoke. So I think the Brampton man is the restaurant

groper, assauter. And it's a Hamilton man who's the convenience store, Robert. You are correct. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. Is it the story. Fliplops. Gives it away. See, I can't rip that out because I got to leave it in there.

If you never know, I set the story there, you can see the Brampton Man in question. Let's see. Let's pull it up. We've got to pull it up, as always. Damn. Right away. Right away. Hold on.

We got to wait for this ad to run here. And then I'll throw it on the screen. This is never in doubt, never in doubt. And by the way, this is just an example of how there is a, a thing. The thematic truth, okay, about the Brampton Man avatar that seems to be, it seems to be consistent across different disciplines, different cities, different incidents. It's always the same story. Let me see here. Share screen.

Here we go. Let's put it up. We'll just watch the video. It's two minutes long. Oh, we're going to get the demon. Oh, we don't get, we don't get a strike for this. I'll give the fuck even if we are. Most restaurant customers pay their bill at the end of a meal,

and most waiters don't expect a confrontation with someone. Can I just say something about this guy? I don't know who this guy is, but I actually recognize him from other stories that he's reported on where Brampton men have been the target. An illegal renovation was the last one I saw, where these two Brampton men were digging a basement in flip-laws. You remember? This is the same guy.

Holy fuck, good memory. Yeah, same guy. They refused to pay, but that's what happened here, and it was caught on video. This group was walking out on their bill. It was a pretty significant bill, like over $300. Robbie Martin is a waiter at this restaurant of Bloom Mountain Village. Earlier this month, he tried to collect money from diners who didn't pay. They told me that they felt disrespected.

And I said, you know, that's not a good reason to walk out on a bill like this. Martin's efforts were captured on video recorded by another restaurant worker. I'll knock you the fuck out. Moments earlier, Martin says the customer got aggressive. He was making fists sort of as if he was going to punch me. I said that's why I put an arm up. You don't know me. You don't know me.

You don't know what I can do. The man and his wife, part of a group of six, including three children. The customers wanted their bills split, and management finally agreed. The manager went to go split the bill for them, and then that's when they just got up and left. The customers were being served by a female waiter. Martin is six foot four. He was asked to try and get payment. Get the fuck away from me.

After the group left without paying and police were called, Martin wasn't hopeful. And they told me that there's no way to identify this guy. But a day after the video was shared by social media influencer Michael McQuarder, known as Tizient. He was identified and then the police got his information and he's being charged. Police charged 38-year-old William Alvia of Brampton with assault and uttering threats to cause bodily harm. We reached Elvia on the phone. Yeah, this is Will speaking. Hi, it's Sean O'Shea. I'm a television reporter at Global News and calling you get your comment, please.

Oh, sorry, I'm not interested in comment at the moment. No, I was shaking. You couldn't tell me if I was absolutely true. trembling. Martin says he's speaking out because he says restaurant workers and others in customer service often feel threatened. And he was very clear that he wanted to hurt me, you know. I didn't feel safe at that situation. And I shouldn't. And no one should feel unsafe at work. What's your problem? The law. You're a B. Pations and respect go a really long way. A $371 bill, including a tip, was finally paid one day after this video went viral. The issue now is how that customer or handled himself outside the restaurant.

He'll appear in court late next month. Outstanding. That is so good. That is so good. What a clown. Also, he's like just a little harmless, like, dumpling Buddha body type, you know? Like, he just, the physique of a chicken ball.

He's threatening this guy who's a fucking tank. Like, okay, man, you know, your kids are in a stroller 20 feet away. Your wife is telling you to cut it out. She knows you're a pussy. Like, what's happening in this? in this confrontation. See, S.H. Burner saying we should do a segment

on Surry or Branson. He would never figure that one out. It's like I can coin flip. Let's get out of here. Come back on Wednesday. I'll be talking to Mike Campbell. I look forward to talking to Uncle Mike about all the latest and greatest and not so great honestly in Canada. So stay tuned

for that. Until next time, we'll see you. And don't dine in dash.
