Wow. Wow. Bitcoin mentor. Another great company that we have in our show description. Look, you should be planning for your inheritance. You should be planning for sudden death and destruction in your family. And if you're not planning on those things, then I don't know what to tell you. After the cold card hack, these other leaks that are happening, you have to have a plan for if something goes sideways on you. And Ben and Nathan and Gary and Mike and all these guys, Jesse Berger, friend of the show, they will help you put. together a plan that works and then guide you through how to use the plan. White Club. Is it expensive? Maybe. It depends on your definition of expensive. But what's it worth to you to have the best in-class guidance, best-in-class programming, tried testing and true programming?

And by the way, if you had money on a cold card and D couldn't help you during the cold card hack, do you know what, you know what Bitcoin Mentor did, offered their services to coin card or to coin-cut customers for free? just to help clear the queue for for D and the guys over at coin guy. Didn't have to do that. But that's what good bitcoins do. That's how you build reputation. That's why we like them.

Use the code in the description. Hegel with them for all I care. It doesn't matter to me. Do whatever you want. I don't even know what we get out of these guys. I haven't seen any contract. So whatever. You know, you should be getting us $5,000 because that's what Donald Trump is

promising every adult in the United States. Oh, yeah. Indeed. That the Republicans, are in full control of the House and the Senate after the midterms. Brib. Nah. Can't call it a bribe.

And if this does turn up to be a reality and they do issue a check of $5,000 to every adult in the United States, that's going to only cost around $1.2 trillion, give or take, a few billion. Not too bad. Given that right now they're just jacking up, what, another $4 trillion every year to the overall debt. So another $1.2 trillion on top of this. I see this and it's like just another one the guy is just whatever I hope he does it

I hope he does it like why would I hope for anything else of course I hope he does it don't you hope he does it remember what happened last time to the stock market and Bitcoin when he gave money away it was everybody got it too so it was a great acceleration moment five grand is a fuck ton of money

to give every single person in America if you win an election. That is absolutely mental. Why are the Democrats coming up and saying, we'll give you 10 grand if we win? There's got to be a bidding word here. AOC bikini picks if we win. That's the answer.

You can win the election that way. I'll go to 10K. They got to do something to make it, you can't just sit back and say nothing. Anyways, even if they go ahead with this, I don't know, I'm not sure the mechanism in which they could go ahead and issue the money. Melania.

Melania token. What do you mean? You'll figure it. No, actually. They'll get rugged right away. Okay. Next story is a interesting one, and it's one that's being developed,

has been developing for the last couple of days, and it's Canada and the EU looking like they're going to be getting closer, and Canada is trying to apply for something, at least that the idea is for an associate membership with the EU, so it's not a full-fledged membership like other countries have. It's been associate. So Carney and his peeps, they've been holding private meetings with European leaders. And so they talk to people like the president of France, officials in Germany, Italy, and so forth.

And the goal here is Canada, they want to try, with Carney at least, wants to try to make Canada less dependent on the United States, open up new ways for possibilities for developing economy, security and technology and doing so by partnering up like this with Europe. And so part of the benefits may also include for the ability for Canadians and EU citizens to go around to each other country with much less red tape than there is right now. Just what I want. A bunch of new Europeans coming over to Canada. The writing is on the fucking wall.

So I've asked several of the AIs and I asked them which way are people going to be moving? Is there going to be more people moving from Canada to you or vice versa? And almost all of them say that young professionals will likely leave Canada for a Nordic lifestyle because you could get, you can go further over there and you've got more opportunities and have a steadier, like at least you'll be able to pay for shit that you can pay for better over here. So if that's true, if you're going to lose. a lot of younger folks, that sucks in Canada. I'm not sure who's in the move from Europe to here,

but maybe a few people will. There may be opportunities. The economy here is better, I guess, than a lot of European nations. So maybe. But anyways, this is another thing they want to do. I see that the EU is going to get access to some things that critical minerals,

also energy, which they desperately need. And if Canada could bring that to market and have the EU buy it, great. But still, the easiest way and probably the most cost-effective way is to have the United States buy it. We already have infrastructure set up. It's logistically it's much easier to send it there. They're hungry for it. We have it. But I don't know, if they want to send it to Europe as well and whatever.

And then furthermore, they want to tap into the artificial intelligence and defense in both Canada and the EU. And also there's going to be some joint ventures like underwater data cases. satellite network cloud storage shit like that and like I say it's just a way to shift away from United States I don't know if this is going to work I took a look just hypothetically Joey how many and I even included the UK by the way who has more Indians living oh God country Canada or all EU members including the UK which is not a Canada for sure Canada still Canada slightly ahead. And by the way, those numbers are, those numbers are so far off of the real volume.

There's no doubt about it at this point. They admit as much without saying, without saying directly that they have no idea how many people are here. They admit as much. If you take the UK out of that equation, it's less than a million live in all those EU countries and we're around 2.5 to 2.8 million. Crazy. What a nightmare. So I think that you probably have, if that's the case, young professionals leaving, they have to be replaced by whom? Well, we figure that out in the future. We know who it's going to be. Is this going to be a good thing for Canada?

I guess we have a new trading partner. We already have a trade agreement with the EU. I don't know. Interesting. It is what it is. I think it's a clear no. Yeah, it's a clear no. I just want to point out this is not an election promise.

This is never discussed formally on a grander scale, not talk about a parliament. It's just done. whatever. And the interest is not dragging the show out, because God knows I could drag it out on this topic. I just want to say one thing and one thing only. We have been in a very public, very well orchestrated by the prime minister's office as well, a battle for Canadian sovereignty since the election of Donald Trump.

Every single message has been tied to or overtly headlined by this. idea that sovereignty is under attack by the U.S. 51st state trade agreements, military agreements, security, you name it. I don't have to go on. The list was on it. I don't have to give you all the items. Only for in the 18th month of the prime minister's rule to give the sovereignty way to the European Union. What the fuck are we doing? What the fuck are we doing? Who's asking for this? Nobody. Who voted for it?

Nobody. We're in an emergency. I keep hearing. The guy's on vacation. Parliament's out of session. Okay. Well, now you may ask, what is the opposition saying about this? Well, nothing.

Pierre Pauliab is going on Ron Butler's podcast, and that's going to probably piss me off to hear because they're not going to ask him any hard questions. We're fucked. We are fucked. You know what the question for me is? Can I go to Europe? up and keep my job if this agreement for free movement of labor takes effect.

You know, that's a question I think a lot of Canadians are going to ask, right? You have this whole story around, you know, the idea that you can't work out of country for some organizations. Man, you know, I feel like that might change. The other problem I have, land, you know who's got the more oppressive tax regime even than us is the fucking Europeans. Like if we have, if we get some hint of that, oh my God, look the fuck out. I don't think they control that.

So if I could be wrong, but I think they control some foreign policy. Right. So that's the thing that you got to deal. Yeah. Okay. So what's the best case scenario? Yeah. You have Canadians defending the European Arctic.

Like is that the. This is if you're a full-fledged member, though. I'm not sure what it goes along with his associate stuff. There may not have that type. You're not forced to adopt your currency. for instance. It gets, it gets not restrictive, but there's a lot more that comes along with your full-fledged member of the EU.

And I don't think Canada is going to give that up. I want to give, yeah, I want to give Carney's flowers because I'm hearing a lot of good things from insiders about this Canada pitch deck that is, you know, part of this like Investing Canada summit that's happening right now. That's okay. I am a big fan of that. Me too.

Me too. Let's try to sell what we have and try to give Canada an opportunity to bring stuff to market. I totally agree with that. Our talent or our resources, whatever. Absolutely. Oh, yeah.

Absolutely. I totally agree. I hope it's well done. Even if it's not, I'm going to give him credit for the fact that at least it's being... Well, I think the thing is, I think it's possible that it's well done if he's willing, if the PMO is willing to get away from the stupid woke bullshit,

like if he's willing to get away from these fucking retards in BC or the fucking retards on the tribe side or the retards in the green camp. Like, you have to just cut these people loose. They're not operating in good faith. They don't care about the country. If you care about the country, then you have to get rid of these people. You have to stop giving them air time. Anyone who wears a feathered hat and goes on TV cannot be taken seriously.

David Eby cannot be taken seriously. Like all these people who are against pipelines, against resource development, they cannot be taken seriously, no matter what. it's a real emergency, treat it like that. You should tell them, you know what, if it comes time to do anything, make sure there's no oil that's being used. So if you want your, I love that. If you want to fly to somewhere else, just you know what, find a way it just doesn't use

oil that, because you don't like fucking pipelines and shit like that. Use all electric, figure it out, go nuts. Find a way. Yeah. Let's see how that works. It's so far past the time when this should have been taking seriously. but to Carney's credit, if he starts, man, like, like even this, the, the premier of Alberta, Daniel Smith was on TV talking about how there might be a new royalties agreement.

You know, like that, that hasn't been considered for 30 years, longer maybe. And the last time was considered, I think it caused an election. So, like, to see these guys willing to tackle what traditionally was a difficult subject, more, give me more. The Quebecers, God love the French, but like, no more taking these people seriously about not using... There's one thing that is going to be very difficult to deal with the EU is that if there's going to be any sort of agreement and you can't, Canada can't, just the way things are, except any sort of milk or cheese or whatever from Europe because of the

what we have here. I know. If they do it, because that's what Trump is pissed off about. So you can't bend over backwards and try to appease the European people and not because of the Trump. because, you know, that just looks really bad. You got to stand firm. I may not agree with it, but you got to stand firm. You know, you stand firm with Trump. Stand firm to the Europeans as well when it comes to milk and cheese, to dairy and all that stuff.

Because if not, man, then it looks just really bad. But I can tell you something that does not look really bad is Canada, Ukraine, and we are now going to have an ace partnership for that. 100 years. And I... 100 years. Well, you know, that's, to me, that's a decal move. Canada and Ukraine were truly committed.

Sometimes let's get thrown around on this show. Like, why the hell you're just doing 100 years? Why are a thousand? Why not a million? That's really fucking going like long term here because 100, that's nothing. So they came to some sort of a strategic partnership on September 10th. And there's now a three-pronged approach here. it's going to be defense innovation, economic growth and construction, and also people-to-people ties.

And so might I add with all this, Canada's youth unemployment sits around 12.5 percent. But I digress. So this new deal will allow these countries, it's going to take a few years to put in place officially, but Canadian manufacturing, software, and AI capabilities. Remember, these are from the people that say that only, Only birthing persons are able to give birth to a child. Well, they're going to be pairing up with the Ukraine battle tested defense tech experience. And Canada plans to scale up their drone production.

I believe a lot of that is done in Hamilton, by the way, Joey. And they're going to also do the counter drone systems. Wait, is that true? It is? From what I gather, yeah, there's a lot of being done that's developed and manufactured in Hamilton. and also uncrewed ground vehicles and also priority munitions. That's what's going to be coming from Canada. Just like we don't have a shortage of already this stuff.

We're going to give some more. But anyways, Canada is going to pledge $350 million towards air defense interceptors and also another $435 million in loans to Ukraine for security and winter gas purchases. And this is, think about it. Buddy, I can't afford gas. Where's my winter gas purchase fucking $400 million? Can I get at least a couple bucks, bro? I guess they did waive the gas tax another year.

There was a time that Canada provided money to Ukraine, and some of that money was used to pay for Ukrainian pensioners. Yeah, I remember that. So this is not fucking bullshit. Check it out on Canada. See if you want to take a look at it. Then there's the ongoing. people to people ties, right?

Like they say there's going to be exchange of education and youth. How many people you think are going to go there versus coming here? We talked about this in another. It was the India one. Remember there's like a free movement of students. You go to an Indian university. Like, why would you go there? You create the step up.

It's like sending someone to it. Yeah, barely though. Like you might get conscripted and die in the meat grinder. The thing is that the only time you'd ever go to either of these countries for universities if you like lost your fantasy football pool and had to do the punishment for the next season. There's no other way you'd be like, yeah, I think this is a good idea. I've seen the videos of military aged men getting thrown into the back of vans, like pulled out of their house to go die in a war.

This is a place I want to go study fucking basket weaving or whatever degree I'm getting in Canada. That's enough of that. That's enough of that. Let's go to Conestoga. Oh, perfect. I mean, what a transition. Why not? is we learned about a new scam going on at Conestoga,

and it looks like several students over there were submitting falsified documents, and these are documents such as CPR and first aid certification certificates, and these are needed for mandatory work placement and stuff like home, nursing, paramedic, personal support worker, early childhood education. Anything important in there? Anything important in there? Yeah, I'm not sure. So imagine somebody knows.

needing to do CPR and having a fake certificate and not able to do it. Anyways, these fake certificates were being advertised in social media for as low as $99 on Instagram and so forth. And it's, you know what, that's a little bit of a savings because the legit courses cost $145. You're saving about almost $50. Plus, you don't have to do the weekend because these things typically think about a weekend.

So you're only spending $100 and you don't have to spend the best of time for the weekend to get it. Anyways, those fake certificates, they had everything, fake attendance, fake training logs, the whole nine yards. And as a result, Conestoga, they decided, you know what, they're stepping in, they're stopping any outside third party CPR or first aid training certificates entirely to be submitted and are refinery. All this to be done in-house. And so they're able then to monitor it. They can do it on campus, cross-reference student IDs to prevent more fraud. And love Conestoga, they just keep bringing out more and more material for us to talk about.

The best part about this is that you know which culture is involved in this fraud because they're calling, they're calling the instructor looking for a freebie whose last name is Majander. Hey man, like, I know what the nationality affiliated with that last name is. And the reason they're asking you is because they want you to do them a favor. You know, you guys are colleagues in a way, you know. send all these guys to fuck out of here, man. When John Tibbitts was the immigration minister, I mean, president of Conestoga,

he was single-handedly responsible for like, I can't remember what the number was, but some Ontario real estate board basically had this like a double-digit figure where he was bringing over these Indian kids for these dog shit programs. People in our chat, like Wilhelm's still talking about the vegetable chopping

video, an all-timer, okay? Like that kid is also what? Like hoping that is buddy who's, you know, one of 30 people living in a basement apartment in Waterloo somewhere is going to get a fake PSW certificate and then beat the piss out of your grandfather while he's in the fucking nursing home because he won't go to the bathroom fast enough. Like you, this is VP of Microsoft from when I understand? Oh, is that what he did?

Yeah, Xbox. I don't know. Listen, I like, what is her name? Sharma, I forget her name, the Indian lady who's heading up Xbox. I like her. You know why I like her? because PlayStation cut the Death Stranding guy loose over going over budget on his games.

Meanwhile, PlayStation's putting out this like retarded, you know, slop Wolverine game. And this guy, Kajomi, Hishoma, or whatever his name is, I forget his name. It's a world-renowned developer. He's been developing games forever. I think he was also a Metal Gear Solid guy, if memory serves. They cut him loose and Xbox picked him up right away.

He gave him all the resources he's asking for. Like, now what? Anyway, story for the time. But the point is that, Conestoga is maybe the most guilty single institution in the entire country of this like immigration fraud. And I think now generally just a distaste for immigrants from India, specifically, India, Pakistan, Punjab, whatever, you know, these places over that side of the world. Indistinguishable as far as I'm concerned, one from the other. And I think if you if you look at the, you know, the way that the attitude around this stuff has changed, you basically have like,

entire groups of people who would never have said something about, for example, the University of Texas student section photo, right? You'd never think twice about it. And now, because your experience in your own life has been soured so much by people who just shouldn't be here, period on the story. Call me whatever name you want. I don't give a fuck. They shouldn't be here. You're seeing now people go, hey, even this is no good. Now, I don't know what the story on those student section kids are, but I know that the scale is too much. There's too many there. And as far as like assimilation goes, much like a Conestoga, I see it here when I drive by McMaster. I see it when I drive by Mohawk College on the mountain where I'm going to see my parents or my or my grandmother. There's no simulation. The UT picture, all the Indian kids sitting together. At Mac, all the Indian kids roll together. Mohawk, same thing. When I go to the mall, Limerge Mall or Mapleview or wherever, same shit over and over and over again.

You simply cannot tell me it's working. And the reason the attitude is soured is like Connerstoke was a major contributor to this over the last five years. And I think John Tibbitt should be in jail, honestly. I think he should go to prison for what he did. He committed fraud many, many times over with these kids, started up fraudulent programs, probably stopped Ontario and Canadian kids. Of any creed, color or ethnicity, by the way, kids who've lived here for 20 years from getting into certain programs. Or, you know, as I've said before, I got buddies who graduated from Conistoga who are my age, who now can't leave their jobs even if they wanted to because who's going to hire a Conestoga grad now?

It's the whole thing is cheapened. The whole thing is cheapened, is what I'm saying. And I don't think there's even a question about any of that. Let's move on to this last story I have. I think it's a beauty. So you may want to buckle up for this one, Joe. I'm ready. Sure.

Buckle the fuck up. It's a story about two companies. And the two companies are peer driving school and unique driving school. So in early 2025, and we had an undercover agent from the MTO, and they went out to compliance audit. And they contacted the Peel Driving School. That was in Guelph. And they arranged through everything.

They bypassed 10 hours. of in-vehicle training and 30 hours of the classroom slash digital instruction, and they did it for paying $200. So they didn't get the mandatory required training, and they only had to pay $200. So Buddy received a beginner driver education that was a BD that was eventually issued by the school and submitted to the Ministry of Transportation, the MTO, showing that the undercover agent has passed everything,

even though zero training took place. So the $200 payment was deposited in a bank account belonging to unique driving school. And that is an affiliate school in Brampton owned by the wife of Peel Driving School. This is very strange. So then in December 2025, the MTO decided to revoke the licenses of both unique and Peel Driving School. and it makes sense, but you know what, things get better. They fought these accusations in court. Peel Driving School was not successful.

The Ontario Superior Court held up the decision, and there was evidence of selling fraudulent certificates, and it was clear, so they didn't be able to fix that. But the court did overturn unique driving school and the co-owner, which was the wife, they were ruling that she personally was never, asked or tasked with instructing the undercover agent with paying or being directly involved in this whole thing.

So what happened in the end? They got their unique driving school, had it overturned and their license was revoked or reinstated, my mistake. And then, and then on top of that, the MTO was required to pay $10,000, our taxpayer dollars, to overturn the ruling and also pay for the ruling. and also pay for the legal costs. These people, they provided fake certificates. There's a scam going on.

Get people killed like that, by the way. Surprisingly, I'm on a streak right now. I haven't run into anything crazy in the roads for maybe two or three weeks now. For a while it was almost daily. So I don't know what's going on. Maybe things are getting better or maybe I'm just getting lucky. But yeah, things are getting fucking hairy out there on the roads. And the story to see that we had to pay 10 grand in legal costs for there's an affiliation here, man.

You know, like we should. But in the end, reinstated, no, whatever. Just fucking accelerate this thing. But it's hard to accelerate with a flip-flop against me. I can't. I don't even talk about this one. For what? I just, there's nothing I can say.

It's not going to get me in trouble. So you know what I think about this already. There's no mysteries on this. program about what I think. Last story, I guess, because we've got a few minutes. I'm not sure if you're aware, but people in Canada here in a work permit, now they have the ability to also get a study permit according to a new policy. And this opens the doors for people to take courses that are in programs lasting six

months or less. So anyone wanting a multi-year degree or diploma, whatever, they have to go through the required standard study permit. So for people that are here in work permit, they could do some sort of program, such as trades people, healthcare, whatever, and to help them

bring up the speed and they can now take some courses as long as as it's six months or less. So this new policy takes an effect

and it's effective until December 27. So, interesting. You camera just shut off. Okay,

so show is almost over. I'm still here though. Yeah, you are. I saw the story it was on Reddit the other day. And Reddit's a pretty good

like, flag in the wind in terms of what the country thinks about the normie country I'll say, thinks about certain policies and certain issues, whether it's political or economic or cultural. Every single subred that I went to

hated this. I think everyone is just sick of it at this point. What can you say about any of these policies that are basically just like cheapening citizenship, you know, forcing labor market costs down, keeping Canadians out of jobs. We've talked about

brain drain already. You know, there's another story floating around about great inflation, which I think is also, I think this is also being fueled by immigration a little bit in terms of like language learners and stuff like that. None of this is good. But there's no end in sight.

So until we start cutting off benefits, then, you know, you can't expect any of this stuff to change. It's just not going to get any better. The university professors are saying that now that people don't have the required math. That's what I was just saying. Yeah, the great inflation at the high school level is crazy.

The kids are getting in with 97, 98, 99 averages and they don't have like the prerequisite math knowledge. They haven't secured the rope mathematics required to like recruit a numerical relationship in a broader algebra problem or broader discrete math problem of some kind. Like it is like troubling. And I remember in teachers college just was at this point like almost 20 years ago. But one of the things that was a sort of under attack then was this idea of rote mathematics. Rote mathematics ROTE is stuff like knowing your times tables. Like every kid should know that 12 times 12 is 144 without going to a calculator, without counting on their fingers without doing anything, right?

Because those relationships are important in math for speed and efficiency for sure. But one thing the humans do really well is they draw relationships from understood relationships. So that is to say, you know, when you look at something like a rushing average for a running back, okay, the guy's got 200 yards on 50 carries. You don't have to go to a calculator to know that the 200 divided by 50 is four because, you know, the 20 divided by five is four. And so you can like reduce and things like that. And this works for fractions, percentages and in more complex situations too. And if you're not thinking about that, then you can think of more abstract mathematical strategies and problem solving skills. but these kids don't have it.

And it is, I think, at least in part, due to language learners taking up resources in classrooms. I'm not saying you shouldn't have any kids who are trying to learn English in your school. There's always going to be kids who are trying to learn English for kids that are slower learning. But I do think that those resources are now starting to cost, does a real world cost to those for other students? COVID accelerated at Wilhelm, I see you saying that as well. And I think the other thing that people are not talking about is that some schools are accountable to their students and parents a little more than they are to administrators. So for example, if you go to a private school, what do the parents really care about? They care about that the kid

has great grades to get a new university. And so other high schools, public high schools, for example, have to keep up with the Joneses a little bit. And that's where you get grade inflation or you get kids making up grades on, you know, misassignments with other assignments, whatever. I do think now one of the things you're going to start to see and you're already seeing it in Ontario universities for sure is testing, take a, take a, take a, a vastly different form in the university level. And I'm talking like the 1F level, 2F level. Forget about like third and fourth year classes.

I'm talking like early stuff, sort of the wide net subject matter classes that you take, no matter what your major is. There's not going to be any more like laptops in class. It's going to be Scantron, written answers, that's it. And I've heard stories even in the US talking about how some kids who are in essay, like classes where essay writing is required. are more willing to do like three hour long, here's a subject matter, write your thoughts on it, tell me why versions of midterm papers, than they are willing to give the kids a topic list

and let them crack away at it all semester, which is really just to say, let them take it home and use AI to do it. They're unwilling to do this now. And some student unions in the States and probably here in Canada are pushing back on this, but the problem is that the results speak for themselves. Now, the interesting thing that's going to come from all this is, I think you're going to wind up in some of these difficult conversations that you used to have in the 70s, 80s and 90s, stuff like the bell curve, right? Are there kids from certain ethnic backgrounds that underperform? Are there kids from certain minority backgrounds that underperform? Are there kids who are from certain cities who underperform? You know, what is the cause that underperformance? These

are hard conversations to have. But as you start to see those patterns reemerge, you'll have to have them. I don't have a solution for it. But what I do know is that no one in administration, no one in the teaching profession, no one in academia, and sure is shit, none of the kids or their parents want to have those discussions. They just want things to keep going. The problem is they can't. If you can't do times tables, you can't build bridges and eventually you need someone who can do those things. That's where I'll leave it. Do you want to go over to Hamilton-Brampton? We should. Let's do it. 256 seats a sponsor. I already talked about Tom, but I'll talk about again, there's a minor sitting here behind me. It may not be behind me for much longer because it might be in my garage. But in either case, I'm going to have this thing running hot as hell as often as I can in the winter here in Ontario because it pays me to heat my house or to heat my gym, I guess, which is my plan. White glove solutions, no cookie cutter shit, no nonsense. 256 heat.com is where to go. Tell them we sent you, get a bit of a discount, hangle with them, ask him what he thinks about Scantron sheets versus AI essays for all I care.

But make sure you give him your business. Tuan's a great guy. And it's hard to find good guys in Bitcoin these days, as you guys well know. So pay him a visit and tell him you came over from CBB. Okay, I got a couple of very interesting stories. So number one, we have this guy saying, you want to get clapped. And a man who struck the victim in the head with a baseball bat is acquitted of attempted murder. is apparently the man didn't want to kill somebody else

when he struck the man with a bat following a heated parking lot dispute over loud music and that was according to the judge and while acquitted of attempted murder and uttering death threats the man was found guilty of assault with a weapon and aggravated assault in connection with a brawl outside a Tim Horton's following a festival

and the Ontario judge decision was stemmed that the victim had long-standing irritation with the victim because of noise coming from the Tim Horton's lot and also his backyard. So on the night of the incident, a group of young men, including the accused, were in a lot with music blaring. Then the 53-year-old got pissed off and he said that this was vulgar, defiance and you know what just they decided to go at it hit him with the baseball bat and bob's your uncle and there you go so this guy got pissed use the bat because of loud noise in a tim horton's parking lot

and it was ended up deemed to be not guilty for trying to murder the second we have a puppy was thrown during a fight in rural ontario and a man was charged and this is following a domestic incident at a home in rural Ontario that led to animal cruelly charges. And OPP said that this was a rural area and this is over reports of intimate partner

violence. And according to the police during the fight, the suspect picked up a small dog and threw the animal across the room. And police have not indicated if there's any serious injuries to the victim or the puppy. But the 36-year-old man

was charged with mischief and animal cruelty. There you go. So you got one guy getting pissed off and fighting with the bat because of noise in the parking lot of Tim Hortons after a festival. And second, we have the man throwing a puppy because he got pissed out his domestic partner or his intimate partner. And the police charged him for animal cruelty. Who's the Hamilton and who's the Branson Man?

You've heard the phrase, old habits die hard before. every part of me wants to say that the Brampton man just never has a dog there's never a dog involved in a Brampton man story but I remember Kerpal you come to my house today and you kick my dog and in my head I'm like I've never actually seen a Brampton guy with a dog um they don't live in rural places and they don't often have like lovers quarrels I don't think in all the years we've been doing this segment you know, two years now, I think. Did we ever have a lover's quarrel, Brampton Man? I'm going to go with the Hamilton Man doing the dog kicking, dog throwing,

and the Brampton Man, like the Tim Horton's parking lot, loud music just screams Brampton Man to me personally. So, like, that's another factor, but I was going to leave that one apart. I think that that's probably the situation there. It's the Brampton Man in the parking lot and then the Hamilton Man with the dog. So you're saying that the Hamilton man

threw the dog That's what you're saying Yeah like that's that's the Hamilton man story And then the Brampton man story is the parking lot Oh you know what though You know what though because maybe Maybe the Hamilton man is mad at the Brampton man Like the Brampton man doesn't really get mad

At the Brampton man making noise in the parking lot He's like he's like invulnerable to the noise The noise just exists around him, right? He doesn't think about it like that. So you're sticking with it or are you going to change your mind? I got a dart here. The other thing too is like, whose dog is it? Like, okay, I'm going the other way.

I'm going, I'm going to Hamilton Man. I think the Hamilton Man assaulted a Brampton Man in a parking lot for making too much noise. And I think the other story is probably the dog doesn't belong or the dog is like a weird add to the story, I think. Do I have it right? So the puppy being thrown, that is a Brampton man all day long. I got it. So I got it. The name is, I don't give a fucking name for the guy.

Anyways. So it was, yeah, it was some rural area, 160 kilometers northwest of Brampton. But the Brampton man was the one that tossed the dog. And the bat was at following a peach festival in Winona. Yeah. So it's important Which in fact, I was in Winona Just past weekend

So Peach Festival's great, by the way. I think there was a shooting there last year, though, if I remember correctly. Or a guy with a gun or something. Were they shooting pits from the peach? No, it was like an actual firearm. Yeah. I mean, there's nowhere to go now

where there's not guns, unfortunately. It's like a fucking shithole. Anyways. You could arm yourself now. You use our pal restriction. Like, you're fucked. Who's our pal? Is our pal the guy that works at the fake driving school?

Who's that? Our pal? You can't even, our pal. Yeah, that's someone that you can't even get the fucking license. So you got to use fucking slings or fucking slings or something to defend yourself. I don't think they banned that yet. Oh, God.

We're fucking banning. We're out of here. We'll see you next week, Monday night for more shenanigans. Who knows what the camera situation will be then. But it doesn't matter. We're recording anyway. Till then,

that, take care yourselves. Take care.
