Yeah, Bitcoin Mentor is a sponsor of the show, at least in theory. We have them in the description of the podcast. I would love for you guys who are thinking about hardware. I know a lot of you guys are. I am happy to answer any questions. Land is happy to answer any questions. But we only have so much time. Nathan, Ben, Jesse, Mike, like these guys, you know, they will help you, Gary.

They will help you set up a custody solution that really works long term. wife friendly, kid friendly, inheritance, you name it, right? These guys have stuff that's really gone through a lot of consideration, especially over the last month or two, about what people need and what they want in terms of stack security. I don't know if we have like a discount code or whatever, but go there, use the link, tell them we sent you haggle with them a bit. I don't know.

And sleep better at night, man. I think that's the lesson over the last little while is whatever it takes to get a good night of sleep is what you should be doing no matter of the cost. And Nathan, those guys will help you with that. So pay him a visit, BTC Mentor.io, and our code is in the description of the podcast. Somebody's asking if we could recommend a brand of dice. I mean, I think they're joking. Really? Yeah, the thing is that if you have, so I will tell you that if you want to listen to something about entropy, that's really good.

and I think went under the radar, the rock paper Bitcoin show from the week of the cold card hack is probably the best thing I heard on entropy, on dice and on just like kind of the whole situation. And my understanding is that if you roll even the most loaded dice from like a monopoly box or something that's just like, you know, from the 90s, there's no concern about how weighted they are, the answer is basically rolling the dice more. if you want to get rid of any potential bias in the outcome. So something considered. Maybe they said a hundred times, roll 150 instead. Yeah, so the cold card I think only accepts 100 rolls. So if you're going to roll more, it's the last 100 from what I understand. It accepts more than 100.

But it's only the last 100. It's going to input. Oh, really? I didn't know that. From what I understand. Interesting. Forgive me from Moron. And you could even, if you want to, you could even build your own random number

generator on a computer so you can mix that in every level. like 10th or 15th or 20th? What is the name of the website where you can check the, where you can get RNG? Do you remember? There is a website now and I can't remember. It's like first name and last name. Maybe someone in the chat can tell me. But yeah, there's another RNG where you basically,

the recommendation obviously is take your computer offline and then use the tool. But a lot of options out there, man, for RNG. Don't sell yourself short. You can do it. I'm 100% sure you can do it. So Canada and U.S., their relations, they're obviously cooling for the past little while, right?

It's the same to least. They're either heating up or cooling depending on, you know. No, it's cool. I'm going to go out with that. And I'm not sure if you've seen some of the videos of sporting events in Canada, like at soccer matches or even I think WNBA games, people are booing in the US

national anthem. Yeah. Canadians are just so fucking stupid. Anyway, on Toronto FC, the best player from what I was hearing is American. So you're cheering. I thought the best player was Davies. Davies is Canadian, no?

I got to look at the last. Maybe he's, I don't know. I don't follow it at all. Either way, there's going to be some Americans on all these teams. And, you know, people are cheering the Toronto Blue Jays. There's a bunch of Americans on that team. So, you know, and they say, ditto with the Raptors. What I'm trying to get at is you're cheering the team that is loaded with Americans.

And it's disrespectful in a way to boo their. Anthem? Come on, man. Don't do that. But, you know, what the fuck you want? I don't agree with it. Anyways, Wall Street Journal, they've been reporting that things are getting even cooler because the U.S. Justice Department, their antitrust division, they issued an internal instruction telling officials that they are going to be dropping cross-border cooperation and policy engagement with Canadian authorities. So the exchange of information and stuff like that is probably going to be putting on pause. And this is going to be for. the joint cases and policy issues

that are going to be effectively ceasing for the time being. And this relationship, it ends decisions that were decades in reality. These things were going on for decades and then the society is just, fuck it. Let's no longer do it. I'm looking at this and then there's a second

thing I see. There is a Canada-China-Defense coordination dialogue that's going to be held in Canada. Not reported on anywhere except on Twitter. And this was done on September 4th. And the two sides, they had some in-depth views and international regional issues. I'm looking at this.

You have the U.S. stopping the cooperation and policy engagement. This wasn't done by Canada. This was done by the U.S. At least this was by an internal memo that was submitted. So if you believe that to be true, and I do. And then Canada going ahead and doing these coordination dialogue with China, it seems like this is just going the wrong direction. And you see these polls out there.

People are looking at the United States as they're no longer our friends. are enemies. Like, come on, man. Like, they're talking about invasion, right? The questions that are coming out to some of U.S. officials about invading Canada. Totally. Yeah. Like, this one thing that is not going to happen, they're not going to, economically they may invade. You could, culturally, they may invade, but it's not going to be with tanks, bombs and bullets. No way in hell. Unless, like, there shit hits the fan, and I don't even know what's going to cause shit

to hit the fan to reach to that level. But for people to even think this is a reality. the United States, if any country is closely aligned to Canada is the United States, not just geographically, but culturally, the language is almost identical. You can't do this. You can't talk the same to you could with, say, somebody from UK or Australia, then you could with somebody from New York or Washington State or California. Where the fuck you want to. We get all their music.

We get their TV. We get their movies. It shapes our culture. Wouldn't we say, like, we don't like it? there are enemies. They're here to beat us. Come on, man. I can give your head a shake.

I don't get it. But whatever. Where do you come down on this Canada, China, whatever, bilateral security thing at the same time when the trade agreement was called off, the same time when there's obviously this like now we're not going to share information with the United States around security. Very, very bad news for us, man. very bad news. Remember that sharing of information

was spearheaded by the US. It wasn't a Canadian thing. It may have been as a result of that. That's what I mean. Yeah, sorry, I should have been clear about that. But like this, you can't tell me these things are not related. I simply will not believe that.

I simply will not believe that. I don't think the CCP forced the additional Hail Mary in the Michigan, Western Michigan game. If you know, you know. But the CCP is behind a lot of stuff going on. Why couldn't they be behind that?

They must have put all the money They might have been. They might have been. Yeah, I don't know. How ghetto is that? What, the Western Michigan thing? Did you see it? Crazy.

Absolutely nuts. Absolutely nuts. Yeah, I know. That's borderline. You'll never convince me that that shit is not rigged because Michigan was a two touchdown favorite and paid Western Michigan, I think, a million and a half or two million to play that game. The way that the CFB works is basically, you have to pay.

pay these lower tier teams to come play against you to bolster your win-loss record. But otherwise those teams... Yeah, you know what I mean? Otherwise, they'd play like somewhere else, right? Like Western Michigan is no interesting going to the big house and fucking playing against Underwood and the Wolverines, right?

But they laid it on them and won that game fair and square. Anyway, that's... Have you seen that Appalachian State game versus Michigan? Of course I have. So that's enough... Of course I have. They just wanted to make sure that they didn't repeat the same... Michigan loves losing.

big games? Is that the, that's the story? The opener, as Chris Weber. Chris Weber is a big part of that. You know, if everyone remembers the timeout that wasn't. Anyway, the China, the China-Canada thing is infinitely fascinating and continues to be a developing story in the America-Canada relationship, you know, narrative. I got a lot of questions at this point, Len, about how any Canadian politician can say with the straight face, that America is our biggest threat. I mean, our own prime minister during the campaign said that China was our biggest threat,

and now we're trying to align with them on trade, on culture, on everything else. You know, electric vehicles are coming over here at the same time that America is saying Chinese made routers were stealing data from people. We talked about that on Access of Easy, you know, a few weeks ago. If you don't subscribe to that show, you ought to. This is stuff that I think most Canadians of any demographic, right, regardless of whether you're boomer, exer, millennial, zoomer, they just don't know how deep the ties run between our country and the panda.

And it feels to me a lot like we have become this vassal state for a broader conflict, much like Ukraine is a vassal state for a conflict between America and Russia. That's basically where we are. our prime minister are a little better dress than theirs but that's about where the differences end we're both begging for money both begging for clout and uh both a laughing stock on the international stage so make it that anybody that's against the u.s i'd love to hear their playlist or see it and see how many songs are from artists that are it's all brian adams it's all brian oh yeah yeah yeah i'm cochran and and i want to see how many

movies are going to be watching or TV shows that are U.S. somehow based or, you know what I mean. And so if they don't, because you can get all the card channels now in Canada. Now, we do have the best hit television show ever made, right? We have it. Trailer Park Boys is the best program, best television program ever produced. There's nothing. And there's close to that.

Yeah, you've watched it only so long, I guess, before you know. Maybe not. And so, by the way, I'm one degree of, from them. I know somebody that worked in the set in season one. Yeah. And Corey Trevor and Julian, the whole nine yards. He knew them all. I mean, those clips, uh, I'm not a really big doom scroller, but I do scroll stuff

before I go to sleep. And I always stop on the trailer park boy stuff and watch it. It makes me laugh, even by 20 years later. You know what? Lately though, after seeing where their loyalty lies in terms of telling people what they should be doing. I know. After seeing that, everyone's falling from break.

It's hard for me to say, oh, man, because you know what? Same with Schwarzenegger, Howard Stern and like guys that I used to like love watching and listening to. I can't anymore, man. It's just, it's done. It's my view of these people have changed. And it's going to Quebec because there's a provincial election going on there. I'm not sure if people are aware.

I'm not really aware of it. To be honest, I've been following it. But now I am because there was a party Quebeco sign that was put up. and it was taken down by the Khan Awake people, at least somebody over there. I probably butcher the name of it. So the guy over there was angered that a Quebec political party would attempt

to campaign in its community. And so we had a spokesperson from that community named is Kenneth Deere. And he was talking and he said, I don't think anybody in this town is complaining about somebody going and taking the sign down. Okay, I get it. He also explained, this is as per an article by CTV,

who is, by the way, I just want to say a spokesperson of this place, these individuals. He says, he explains that the people are not Canadians or Quebecers and don't involve themselves in outside elections. Now, I just want to point out earlier this year in April 26, Canada, the government of Canada decided to give these individuals, or the community, $2.5 million. They're not part of Canada, apparently,

but they got $2.5 million from Canada. And also the province of Quebec gave them $11 million for a new cultural and arts center. And also, the $2.5 million from Canada was for language in, sorry,

cultural and languages center in their area. So they're getting money from both the province. They're getting money from the government of Canada and from federally. But they say, according to this guy,

that they're not Canadians or Quebecers. I don't know. What else can I say? Aside from just accelerate. It's all it is. It's an acceleration thing. That's it, Jimmy. I mean, what do you?

I don't know what to say. I'm out of loss here. We, no matter, it seems to me, one of the best things, okay, about this show is that over the years, we've been doing this show for whatever, five or six years at this point. over the years, every week in this segment, we find something dumber than the week before. Like, there's always, like, it's always a step up from the week before.

And so, like, it's like every week, you know, the line is not necessarily straight up into the right. There's some, you know, flat weeks or whatever. But it never gets better in the clown world section. Definitely not in the Canadian clown world section. And here we go again with another bangor. It never ends. It never ends. We could go on and we could talk about one of Vancouver's finest.

Vancouver police constable Calwinder D'Eau Sange. And this is not some rookie that was on the force. This guy was a veteran of 26 years. And he was also quite involved. He was a founder of the Kids Play Youth Foundation. Well, Buddy was arrested following a lengthy two and a half a year investigation. And the department did their own investigation. And a total of nine charges were laid against

dosange, four counts of fraud over $5,000, four counts of theft over $5,000, and a single count of breach of trust by a public officer. There's also a co-accused individual, Sarabjit Singh Gill, and he was also charged with related counts of fraud and theft. The chief, Steve Rice, said the investigation has identified at least 19 victims so far, and the total financial loss is total more than three million. million dollars. And this was done over quite a long period of time from 2017 to 2025. And it took place in Vancouver, Surrey, and other parts of British Columbia. And lawyers representing those hands issued a statement saying, you know, these things, these charges, may not appear to be holding much water. What's the lawyer's name?

Don't have the lawyer's name. Damn. We got a visual. We got a picture? No, no. I said the text year. Mr. Dosange has committed no. crime and is innocent of any wrongdoing.

An arrest or a report of an arrest has occurred is not evidence of guilt, misconduct, or criminal responsibility. And he remains in custody before further court appearances. Yeah, there we go. Who gets a longer sentence? Mr. you know, whatever, windbender, Dojohns, or Lindsay Clancy. Who gets a longer jail sentence?

Clancy. You think? I can't see a way around. this. She had a mistrial once already. But that's a mistrial. That just just means that it was a hung jury. Yeah, they'll run it again. Yeah. And I'm not sure exactly how it works in the United States. But if they do it again and again, and you keep

getting hung jurors, hung juries, does it just come to a point where it will be just be decided by a judge? Is that how it works in it? I don't know if it's by state or federally. I don't know how it would work over there. But I guess that's what would eventually happen because they'd have to have some sort of punishment or

no punishment issued. It just can't have this. But she's stuck in jail. That's the one thing. As long as it's, you know, she's not a free person. Also like paralyzed and whatever else. Anyway, this guy here, our buddy, the police officer and his co-conspirator. I mean,

what can we say? On this program, I think we've been trying to not let the beers talk for me here. We've been very kind to immigrants from the 80s and 90s. and very hard on immigrants from 2015 to today.

And when I see stories like this of a guy who's working the police force for 26 years, it is disheartening. Because there's so much vitriol and unfortunately some academic data behind this idea that culture and value systems are very durable over many, many, many generations in a way that no country could ever hope to, you know, have people disengage with vis-a-vis, like, you know, I always say the same thing, like Nike, McDonald's, and cruise missiles. Like, they're not going to, they're not going to unseat these longstanding tendencies,

predispositions. And when I see stories like this, the big question for me, I think more than how did this happen or like why did it happen? The big question for me is why did it take two years to investigate this guy? Two years seems like a very long time to find him guilty of what did you say I think five crimes there maybe one of them was five counts. Sorry it's a total of nine charges. Nine charges. It was a two and a half year investigation. Yeah. So when it and it was done internally and it was done covertly. So they had to make sure to get all the evidence. They're investigating one of their own. Right. Yeah. And so I can understand the secrecy and I could understand the

thoroughness they needed to be involved. It's not like they could just send them home and say, buddy, you know. There is a problem. There's a problem here, right? Like, there's an issue with, there's an issue with that culture in this country. It's becoming more prevalent and more, I think, more well-known, maybe in Normie circles as well. You know, looking at some of the tweets around the AFD win in Germany from Canadians. And, you know, I won't share names, but some of the people who like my sort of,

of most harsh tweets. There's a lot of people thinking this way now about about cultural differences that are just irreconcilable. And this might be an example of one, unfortunately. Kudos to the to the Vancouver PD for taking care of this, right? God only knows this is probably unpopular at the highest levels, as it is anytime a police department has to investigate one of their own, right, regardless of ethnicity, background, immigration status, all these things.

it's very difficult for police departments to find someone in their ranks guilty of misconduct. It doesn't matter how serious, how severe. So good for them. He's, he's an older guy. He's, he's been on the course for decades. I saw the story.

I saw the story. Yeah. So, it's fucked up. And every time you see a story like this, and there's been several in Toronto we've had. And also, so I think other police forces like Mississauga,

they've suspended officers because of potential wrongdoing. And anytime some of, like this happens, the trust, the public trust in the police force, it gets eroded. And, you know, once you do that enough times and then you don't trust them and you don't believe them and just, oh, man, it's, I want to say, I want to say, I didn't mention this like a month ago when it happened. I keep forgetting, but I'll mention now it's on my mind. We're not talking about all, you know, Indian, Pakistani police officers.

And I want to maybe like a melancholy, happy trails here to, um, officer but in Hamilton, B-U-T-T, and the reason anyone knows who this guy is or was, unfortunately, is because his fault, yeah, I think he committed suicide, which is, I think, like, more common in policing than maybe a lot of other professions.

The reason anyone knows who this guy is is because his father, E-Jazz Butt, is sort of like every cycle mayoral candidate. it. I think he was the, he either was or is the president of the local like cab driver union, whatever that, whatever that organization is or whatever letters represent that group. And it's just like a good guy. EJAS wants a good guy. If you're, if you're from Hamilton and you're my age, like if you're born in the 80s or 90s,

and you haven't gotten a ride home from Hess Village from EJazz Butt, like you're missing out on a, on like a key Hamilton experience. he drives around with his mayor sign on his cab like both for EJAz or whatever and you know when his son passed away I saw a lot of comments on Twitter about how the guy should never have been here

you know he's not a Canadian and like I find that distasteful and discomforting and I think overall just very off putting and offensive because EJazz and his family have been here a long time the good Canadians good Hamiltonians. And I think sometimes, I won't speak for you, Lan, but I'm guilty of saying

things on this show and other shows that maybe paint me in the light of someone who's like anti-Indian. I'm anything but, no pun intended. I want to be supportive of people who have done the right thing for their community and done the right thing for their families and become part of the fabric of the places in which I live and work and raise my kids. And EJA has done that. So is his family. And, you know, he's embraced kind of the silly name he has as far as Canadian naming conventions go and his son, you know, was a police officer. I wish them the best. We didn't talk about this when it happened, but I kind of meant to bring it up and this is a good opportunity to do it. So, you know, rest and peace to the man and, you know, all the all the calm of mind that we can give to E. Jazz and his family. We are not anti-1 diaspora on this show. We are anti-Aispera on this show. We are anti-Ais. attitude and this guy was anything but that attitude. So we wish him the best. I think that the attitude, though, it's saying that Canadians are very happy.

Because if you look at the alleged happiness index, it's incredible, incredible segue. Almost impossible to segue from that to this. I do have some stories. I figured I wish is the best one to segue too. And this is it. So the story of an article from Canada Post says that Canadians are happier. that they have been for years. And I had no idea that was the case that Canadians are happy now than they were in the past.

According to this ledger happiness index, Canada's national average happiness score, whatever that may be, climbed to 70.5 out of 100, and that is up from 68.7 in the previous year. And it also indicate that fewer Canadians are showing a decline in their well-being compared to past metrics. and this is showing that it's a time that things are being are rebounding to post or sorry the pre-pandemic stability Quebec is the happiest province and it's followed by Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and then Ontario is in the middle of the pack. And as for cities, Joey, the three highest cities according to this is Montreal, followed by Brampton and then followed by Toronto.

Stop. Brampton? No. Wonder why. I mean, one can make an argument This could be Stockholm syndrome. You have salaries. It's worse than that.

With what's going up there. You have car theft. You're telling people to leave the keys by the front door. Don't engage with anybody that's intruding in your home. People driving the wrong way in streets. The cost of food is going significantly higher. And people are using food banks, high unemployment, especially amongst the use. The list goes on and on.

I don't know how the fuck people can say they're happier now than they were in previous years. But here we go. If you're asking people who came from places where you had to carry water from the well to your house on your fucking head across a high wire, right? Instead of building a bridge, then yeah, things are better. Those people are going to be happier. I think it's telling that the national average happiness acronym is nah, because are you happier? The answer should be nah than you were three or four years ago. You can't afford your house.

You can't afford your food. There's more crime. Your car insurance is up. your house insurance is up, your property taxes are up, your, your most populous cities have mayors that are closer to Mao than Jefferson. And now on top of that, you have this unlimited budget from the federal government to give to media organizations for Pravda, about the AFD in Germany, about the Americans in the United States, about trade deals, about currencies, about all this shit. And by the way, at the way,

the same time, the Bank of Canada, what are they spending their fucking money on? Putting King Charles on the bill. This guy is going to be dead in two years, bro. Like, he's got one foot in the grave, another foot on a banana peel, and we're printing currency with this guy on it. For fucking what? Put the birds back on the currency. But do a single thing right for once.

And I will note that to see Brampton lend in the list of the happiest cities, It tells you everything you need to know. It tells you everything you need to know, sir. People are very happy. Shocker. Shocker. They're literally in fucking parking lots shooting fireworks at each other for whatever Indian Independence Day. Like, come on.

Are we serious about this? Come on. Somebody posted a picture of the rickshaws that they have in all the, like, that are famous. I saw. Yeah, man, that's. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? Fighting in the back of pickup trucks.

So I don't remember if we talked about this, the Coburg thing. Coburg, Ontario, home with a big apple. You know, it's on the way to Muscoca if you got a cottage up there. No, it's not on the way to Misscola. It's different. It's on a way to like Peterborough and. But you have to drive through there. Let's take the 407.

You take that part of the highway. I mean, if you're coming from Hamilton, it's a, it's a hell of a detour to go through. Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Yeah. Maybe you're right.

Anyway, when I was in university, I dated a girl from Coburg for a long time, Emily, great girl. And she, you know, when I first started going there to visit her, she lived with her father at the time. You know, like the city was alien to me, this like small town feel. Everything was walkable. There was like a handful of restaurants, handful of bars. Everyone knew each other. I thought it was weird coming from Hamilton.

And I saw this story. maybe a month ago about how Coburg has been basically overrun by immigrants and fentanyl zombies. And I, you know, I would never message an ex-girlfriend, but man, would I love to be a fly on the wall at dinner at, you know, Emily's father's house asking, you know, where he's asking, what happened to this like small community driven area, locale? that basically turned this place upside down in, I don't know, what, 15 years, 14 years, something like that. And I think a lot of small towns in Ontario are thinking this way now, right? It's not just small towns, Joey. The big towns are too busy to notice until it's too late, but the small towns are not. Small towns, I think, are more acutely aware of what's happening than maybe like Hamilton, Toronto, Oakville, Burlington, whatever, right?

That's fair. But it doesn't mean it doesn't happen to the same, the same expediency it does with the small towns. But you mentioned the time frame 15 years. I lived in Toronto for about half my life. And, you know, when we moved when I was young to a different part of Toronto. It was initially was one, you know, you can leave your doors unlocked and everything. 15, 20 years later, like it wasn't the same. And then I eventually moved out.

I was able to move to where I am now. So it's just, you know, I've seen it happen in a very short period. a time. And I'm just seeing this happen now on a more of a broader scale, not just here, like in Canada, but also all over the world. It's other countries as well as experiencing it. And as a result, you see what happened in Germany with the elections now that they have elected a government, which is the first right wing government they said to this degree. Right, right wing, you know, air quotes on that. But yeah. Yeah. And they call this right wing is because they have a, they're talking about immigration in a way that hasn't

talked about by previous governments. It's the way that we talk about it and the way that most common sense people talk about it, that people who are in the country not adding anything to the fabric of society have to be removed. Simple as. You know?

Not hard. They want to see benefits cut to migrants. Agree. Totally agree. If you come to the country, you shouldn't be benefits. Period. In the story. Things like, you know, saying that there is a moral judgment that needs to be passed on people and places before they decide who's allowed to come here.

Of course, the third world is not a placeland. It is a people. And there is no magic fix for that. And I think more and more people need to start waking up to this reality. And to hear, you know, the way the media is reported on this, saying stuff like Germany shocked by far right party's success. Germany wasn't shocked. There was 76 or 77% turnout for that election, which is fucking insane. And half the votes went to that party.

There's seven parties running. Half of them went to that party. The only thing that stopped the AFD from getting a majority was the mail and ballots counted after the polls closed. Make it that what you will. Everyone is pushing back on this now. The UK obviously just had this giant black mask rally. The fact of the matter is,

that if you take people, again, like, it's so hard not to be offensive with these comments, but you almost have no choice. If you take people from countries who have, you know, museums where there are cups leaning against sticks and bring them to places that have museums where there's things like mathematics and aqueducts and. And, you know, trading companies and things of this nature. Like, these people will not mesh. They won't mesh. Period.

In a story. There is such thing as a bell curve. There is such thing as a moral judgment to be made on people in places. There is such thing as, you know, cultural differences that are irreconcilable. These things are very durable through long lines of family, through long lines of inhabitants and jurisdictional. footing, like, they're not going away. And I think most people in the first world realize this now. And they want something different. And so there's going to be uprisings, whether political,

whether at the ballot box, whether at protests, whether whatever, all over the place. At the end of the day, what have we always said on this show, whether it's about immigration or economic policy or trade policy or whatever? You and me always say the same thing. The only people who don't see it are the people who are insulated from it. And as the as that insulation gets thinner and thinner, more and more people will will agree with this. There's actually a really good academic research paper from I guess 2017, I think, that basically says if you want to see far right parties gain footing in your country, just increase immigration. It's all you have to do. Places where there's more immigrants, you see more far right footing. Make it at what you

will. I would say the far right is anything but 50% of the boat. That's just mainstream at that point. And don't get me wrong. As much as I agree with the AFD policy setting, there are people in that party who I think are bad for the party. There's a young fella who threw up the Nazi salute at an interview following the election win. And every left-wing commentator here, Britain, Germany, you name it in many different languages saying this is the party you just elected the problem that the left has at this point is that whether that kid threw up the Nazi

salute or not you would have called him a Nazi anyway and so the word has lost meaning the critique has lost meaning you've done this to yourself in a lot of ways you know in Italy Joey they elected four years ago

almost four years ago Georgia Maloney Maloney yeah and they said that she was like very much like Mussolini it's the desk they painted her. Just last week, a milestone was hit. Her government is now the longest serving government ever in the Italian Republic. Go figure. So they've.

Making that what you will. The other thing is that I think, like, the, again, this is a problem unique to the left in a lot of ways because the right refuses to rule like they are willing to yield power or wheel power, I should say, story for another time. But the thing is that the left now has to contact. with this idea that most people in the democracy that they find themselves in want this kind of policy. They want decisive measures against immigration, against Islam, against, you know, against Indian diaspora, whatever. They're going to get it. That's what the majority wants.

That's what democracy is. You can't outlaw people. The AFD, I don't know if you know this, the AFD is viewed by the German government as a extremist group. like, well, they just fucking won an election. Like, they're going to win. If you have a national election and don't cheat, they're going to win. And what are you going to do? Not give them the reins? You're not going to do it?

It's worth mentioning that the CDU, the Christian party who is ruling Germany now, who they say, who they identify as, you know, center right, they're not talking about internally. This is the leak from the telegraph today. They're internally discussing things like language requirements for citizens, language requirements for immigrants, reducing supports for immigrants. Like the Overton window is moving so fast, man. And I think even in Bitcoin, you know, it's fun to tweet about this stuff.

But man, the real hardship in societies doesn't come from change. It comes from the speed of the change. And so you don't necessarily want, I see, you know, I see Crypt 10V in the chat talking about PPC gaining popularity. You would like to see PPC gain popularity on sort of a steady incline or steady growth rate. The whatever this party was in Germany, they just won. They doubled their representation, election to election. That is a quick, quick change in support.

And again, do you know what stopped them from getting a majority besides the mail-in ballots? it's the only demographic group age-wise that didn't vote for them was 70-plus. Story happening all over the modern world, right? It's funny because given when they were born, right, the ruins of World War II and they were built up and... But they don't know, Len. The Marshall Plan. They're also the first... No, no, no.

They're also the first and only generation to value, like, the evening news. That was like the thing for them growing up, and they had. haven't they haven't broken from that and it shows it's just the exposure the force feeding of western and you know what i mean i'm wondering they just unfortunately it just seems to be they've lost that right i don't know i don't know the identity of united states and whatever it is what it is you know what let's go to the hamilton versus yeah let's do it brought to you by a 256 heat Twan making some changes to his setup this week to account for BIP 110's failure. Love that from Twan.

Always on top of things. And of course, Len, did you happen to go outside today? Only got to about 22 or 23 degrees. We are trending down in terms of temperature. I mean, you'll still be playing tennis and golf until December probably and wearing shorts to work. That's fine. But most of us are looking for a way to heat our homes for a couple extra bucks in our pockets. Twan is the guy you should call about that.

He's got a million different units and variations of units and setups you can use. And there's nobody better than Tuan in terms of security for your transaction, of course. You never see Tuan in the leaks. And obviously, the white club service that we love about Tuan so much. 2506.com, tell him we sent you maybe a bit of a discount. Plus, he will make sure that whatever you get from him is not just some cookie cutter, easy solution. He will walk you through what he's got

based on your needs and make sure that you're satisfied at the end of the day, which is important for us over here at CBP. So, Hamilton versus Brampton Man's, here's the segment that everybody loves to chat. Did you get these from Wilhelm again?

Oh, yes, of course. I mentioned a big thanks to Wilhelm for providing these stories. I'm thinking about just taking my headphones off and waiting until you're done talking and just throw a dark. The first story is Burlington, Brampton, whatever, second one is, I don't know. I'm out of ideas.

I'm out of ideas. You got a story here, number one. A pharmacist has had his license revoked after allegedly scamming a drug company. Pharmacist is a good tell. This is, God, this feels, it feels almost too easy already. This is a trademark of his stories. Well, it's just, this guy scammed the insurance companies. It bought multi-million dollar mansion and high-end cars.

So between June 2017 and February 2018, so not quite a year, a pharmacist allegedly submitted fake prescriptions for drugs that were never dispensed at his pharmacy. And according to a lawsuit filed by AstraZeneca Canada, the drugstore allegedly filed claims for prescriptions using real or forged patient information. And the fake transcripts improved included anti-psychotic, psychotic drug. called Serockel and reports indicate that the scheme cost at AstraZeneca $7.7 million through its reimbursement program even though the pharmacy only purchased around $5,000 worth of the medication. That's quite a discrepancy. And the lawsuit alleges that he used the money to buy a very expensive home and luxury cars. And he was able and he was ordered to pay $35,000 in fines as well as $80,000 in cost.

and also unfortunately the dude picked up and left Canada it's over it's already over I got it The judge Will hunt

Slip in on this one Slipping The judge ordered a pharmacist To pay 7.4 million in damages They froze his assets in Canada Apparently he's living The High Life He had condos in Aruba

Range Rover at a whole nine yards And yeah That's number one Oh, Kano and Aruba. Okay. Interesting. All right. So number two, we have cops execute a warrant against two collision centers,

charges three people in connection with insurance fraud scheme. So police have executed this search warrant against these two collision centers because they're apparently doing these insurance fraud. And so far, three local men ages 39, 48, and 67 have been arrested. and police believe the collision repair shop were hiring quote-unquote chasers to go after accident scenes and collision reporting centers to drum up business and help inflate the cost and defraud insurance companies.

I love that music. It's time for me to hang the laundry. So the charges have not yet been proven in court, but the Insurance Bureau of Canada and police say the investigation began after the 73-year-old driver was flagged down on a city street by a chaser after a driver left the collision reporting center for a minor collision. And police say the chaser advised the 73 year old

that the vehicle was unsafe to drive and the chaser, he worked for the collision repair company, he said that he would not only take care of the driver's car, but also repair it. But they put the person in a rental vehicle. But when insurance adjuster attended the auto shop body the additional damages on the vehicle were not there before when the collision occurred.

They were doing some extra damages on the side to make it look like it was a bigger thing. And yeah, in the end, that these guys, they were apparently they're doing some big things over there. So, yeah, so these three people were charged with scamming insurance companies and that still has to go through the courts to figure out if this is indeed true or not.

So we have number one, ripping off the insurance companies and AstraZeneca for pharmaceutical, for some drugs. And the second, we have those three chaps doing the insurance fraud with collision centers. So which one is the Hamilton? Which one is the Brampton Man? Len, I love, I love that the Brampton Man, almost always a pharmacist, almost always. You know, if you go to a pharmacy in southern Ontario, southwest Ontario, like you're gonna get most of the time a Brampton man um the problem is that the scam is maybe not quite what you wanted to be for the Brampton man to be the guest meanwhile the insurance one where

they're doing extra damage to the car that is like super fucking low IQ third world shit you know like it's fucking they get hammer to this door and see what happens. Like we got this guy got an fender bender and he's got a fucking busted side driver's side passenger window. He comes in with a you know, a minor fender but you're right. What the hell?

The axel's fucking broken. I don't know. I feel like there's also like a degree of extremes here that the Hamilton man is willing to go to compared to the Brantam. The Brampton man is more prepared for the extreme scam. And I think it feels

me like the auto body scam is more extreme than the pharmacy scam. And also you said, also you said buddy from the pharmacy went to Aruba, right? He fled the country. He has places in Aruba, but yeah, he fled to a country.

You know where you went, but you're not telling me. That was the other, that was the other big hangup I had. It was like, where did he go? A guy who fled the country. Yeah. he had a range rover too I'm gonna I'm gonna go with the Indian guy being the pharmacist the Brampton guy sorry

it's the pharmacist the Brampton guy is the pharmacist yeah give me that please and you're right you're right so but he is an Egyptian oh okay yeah so and there you go so he is still got it still counts still counts

yeah yeah so let's see if I got the name here um yeah uh saddock is his name uh fuck Sameh Sadek. I love it. I still got it.

It still counts. I broke the street. Fled to Egypt, his home country of Egypt and his assets were seized or frozen in Canada. And so, yeah, unless there's an extradition clause we have with Egypt, he's going to be stuck there for the rest of his life. And or who knows where he's going to go. Enjoy the pyramids. Enjoy the pyramids. That's it.

We're out of here. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Wilhelm, sorry about your luck tonight. I am back on top of your father. Ball. Those are not getting by me anymore. We'll see you guys next week for more on CEP in the meantime. Subscribe to the channel. Leave a like, all that good stuff. We'll, we'll see you then. Take care.
