Michael Saylor just broke the one rule he built his empire on. Strategy (MSTR) sold Bitcoin for the first time since 2022 — 32 BTC, ~$2.5M — and the "never sell" era is officially over.He's calling it "inoculating the market." Genius move… or the first crack in the $61B Bitcoin machine? Full breakdown below 👇PLUS Three anonymous parties just asked a New York court to hand them Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin — roughly 3.8 MILLION BTC (~$293B) across 39,069 dormant wallets — using a "lost property" law written for found umbrellas. On this week's Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast we break down the most audacious legal attack on Bitcoin's supply in history, why it could hit a default judgment as soon as late June, and the one reason it almost certainly fails: you can't seize coins you don't hold the keys to.We also cover the week's biggest Bitcoin and Canadian stories: Tether tightening its grip on Twenty One Capital ($XXI) and what it means for Jack Mallers and Strike, the Bitcoin treasury model cracking (Metaplanet's mNAV collapse and Sequans unwinding its entire stack), Kraken's 2.5% Bitcoin yield vault, the "Mined in America" bill and Trump's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — plus the Canadian file: Mark Carney's $195K flight catering bill, Ontario mortgage delinquencies up 52%, and a technical recession nobody in Ottawa wants to name.Not your keys, not your coins has never been more literal.

Great. Halfway through, we got to do the Bitcoin Mentor, read. There probably is a read. Nathan probably sent me. He's in the chat, but I'll be honestly, I never actually read it. I don't come on to do the read. I should send him the link. You know what's funny about a Bitcoin mentor? These guys, every company we talk about on this stupid show, okay, it's the same personality, same faces all the time. These people who are like in the news for all the wrong reasons constantly. They're trying to take your money. They're trying to get your Bitcoin.

they're trying to blah, blah, blah, like give you grief and find ways to separate you from your stats. Meanwhile, the guys who never get talked about are the guys who are doing work to make sure that not only you don't get separated from your sats, but your wife doesn't separate it, your family doesn't get separated. Your kids and grandkids don't get separated from your sats.

That everyone knows what's going on with the Bitcoin, how to access it, how to secure it, and how to keep it safe from these scams. Bitcoin mentors are a place to do that. Nathan, Ben, other guys there, including in front of the show, Jesse Berger as well and some others. People you can trust in the space at a time when trust is maybe the most important currency, maybe the most important thing in any professional silo. And we might be operating in the space where it is the most difficult thing to not only build,

but keep over a long enough period of time. And these guys have all done it very well. So if you want to learn how to properly custody Bitcoin, I'm not talking how to use a cold card. They'll teach you that too. I'm talking multi-sig. I'm talking significant jumps in sovereignty and security. I'm talking generational planning.

These are you guys. We've promo code in the description. Go see them, talk to them. You'd be glad you did. You'll sleep better at night. And I can't put a price on that. So go pay me a visit. Sad news that Cricket Canada's membership

with the international fucking hangar right off the hop sad news cricket Canada really is and this was suspended due to serious breaches of its membership obligations and I'm very disappointed in this we're not going to be able to

participate in officially sanctioned events and this is a black guy for cricket Canada it's a sad day so what was the violation we don't know it's unknown they didn't disclose it yet I can't wait to hear what

I cannot wait to hear what it is. I can't wait. What can it be? The possibilities are endless. They are endless. I can't wait. See what it is. Okay.

That's Canada. They came out with some new GDP data this past week. And the verdict after digesting all this information, Canada is in a technical recession. And somebody posted, online that out of 195 countries, only six are in a technical recession. I don't believe it to be true because I also tried to confirm this with

with AI, but the countries they named are Myanmar, Haiti, Venezuela, Yemen, Ecuadorial, Guinea, so like it's all these other companies, you know, but the ones that AI told me that are in recession are like Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia. They might be.

But these are, and what's the reason? for those to be in a fucking war and what sort of fucking war are we fighting in a spiritual war land spiritual war well

in terms of I wanted to say something I just pulled it back in terms of the level of effectiveness of the terrorists Mexico has been impacted Europe's been fucking impacted China, Japan, but all these countries, and I mentioned a continent with Europe, but still,

countries like Germany, companies like France, countries like Greece, Greece of all. They're not in a technical recession, but Canada for some reason is it suffered a 0.1 GDP drop in Q1, 2026. Q4, 2025 also was revised to show a 1% contraction. the debate out there is if Canada is in a technical or actual recession. Anybody that's asking these questions if we are in a recession, I would just go ask to people out there that are unemployed. The 15% between the ages of 16 and 25 that are unable to find a job,

they will say that we are in a real recession. Why don't you talk to the elderly people up there that have to go back to work because their savings can't cover their day-to-day needs? So now they're working on a daily basis or a part-time to pay for food and rent. I could tell you that they're going to say that this is truly a recession. Or maybe, maybe you could even go ask the guy who got made because he was too depressed for not finding a job. But you know what? If you ask that guy, you can't fucking speak because he's dead.

But if he did with, if he was able to speak, I could tell you, he'll be able to say that we are indeed in a fucking recession. The stupidity of all this. Do you know who has the authority to say that we are formally in a recession? Joe? Is it TIF? No, it's a formal committee of economists and in Canada

it's the CD-Hag Institute Business Cycle Council. We got to rely on those goons that say, yeah, you're in a recession. You don't feel it. They tell you when it happens. And it's not just GDP alone, right? You've got to look, right?

You've got to look at other things, consumer spending. It's all showing that everything's going down. Production is from industry. It is going down. But who can do? the shit, right? I mean, we're, we can sit here and argue all day. How to fix this, that's the real thing. We can just say that we're in recession. Okay, really this is got to be solved,

right? And the question is how? Right now, they're focusing on wealth redistribution. That's what they like to do. We need wealth creation. That's something that could help elevate everybody. People are going to be able to afford shit through, taxation through jobs through all this shit and think about this this GDP that went down and revised last year it's all due because it was papered right we had high immigration for a very long time pumping up GDP growth GDP per capita went down but the GDP number which they've touted for years as being the be all and end all that was papered man and it's when you bring in people just to do that well now we have productivity crisis corporate investments done

It's dried up. It's not happening. Canadian capital investments per worker, Joey, is less than half than what the U.S. is. That is nuts. And with that, we have all this wealth. We could potentially bring to market with natural gas, we have oil, uranium. We have gold, timber, water, potash. The list goes on and on and on.

This is what we have here. This is what people, what they want. We bring it to market. we can make this a reality of making ourselves much more prosperous. But no, environmental studies, provincial barriers, all this shit is the reality of what we're dealing with. This has got to be gone, right? If you think about this, with provincial barriers, it's easier now to trade. If you're an Ontario business, it's easier to trade with New York state businesses than it is to trade with Quebec or Alberta.

That's assonite. Like, what the fuck is this? Just wait. Just wait, by the way, until they rip up Kuzma in the summertime. You want to see how bad this is going to get? That's going to be a nightmare. It's a long process. It's not simply, it's the announcing that we are stepping out.

And I think it's a 12 month. It could be wrong. But yeah, it's going to be the start of something really bad. But to go back, I mean, I get it. We have two wars ongoing right now that are impacting the world over. the Strait of Hormuz closed. Russia still were invading Ukraine. And I understand politically they didn't want to do with Russian oil.

And while now it's Saudi oil, Saudi oil tough to get out there. Katari natural gas tough to get out. Canada has an ability just to bring this shit out. I don't know if we can ramp it up. But you know what? We got to do something. And we got to do something before Venezuela ramps production, if everyday ramp production,

because they will be a natural competitor. for Canadian heavy crude. But here we are. Now we're debating. Are we in recession? Hell yeah, we're in a fucking recession. It's not going to get better. It's going to get worse.

The guy that was supposed to fix it, a year in office, is doing a lot of travels and very expensive travel, getting ripped apart for everything that's spending on it. In the end, what happens? You've got to go to work. Gas is expensive. Gas, the price of oil is what? Like $100 a barrel, give or take out.

90-something, yeah. But why is the price of gas here when I go to the pump like a buck 60, a buck 70? 10 years ago, 2014 actually a little more than 10 years ago. The price of oil was, I think it's peaked at like 160. That was those dollars too. But the price of gas was still cheaper than it is here. Like you know what I mean?

Like something is broken. I don't know what the fuck it is, but there's going to be some UBI. There's going to be a lot of new money created. that's going to be given to people to help make sure that they can put food under plate. But what's going to be the cost of this? Every time something like this is done, it's going to be at the expense of your income, your savings. And beyond that, every time they give money to Ukraine, I get what's going on Ukraine.

But Canada has given money to Ukraine. Part of the money was to pay for Ukraine pensions. Yeah, don't forget to. Why? We lie and pretend we don't care about per capita when it comes to GDP. but we love saying how we give the most per capita to Ukraine. We love that stat. Our politicians love talking about per capita.

It's how much we gave to that war. And we are well above everybody else, or at least very close to everybody else. Oh, yeah. And to go back, we're paying for pensions. I know we're paying for a lot of, but one of the things that we're paying for are Ukrainian pensions. Why?

You're paying for pensions at the same time the Globe and Mail is running stories about restricting or lessening the amount of money going to seniors in Canada to help to help with our fiscal deficits. It's almost unbelievable, except that they do it right out in the open.

Crazy. I'll hop on a flight and get another 200 grand that's catered for a bunch of people that are going to visit the Pope. $100 a piece shishimi on the way to the fucking Vatican. But the way I understand it, I even tried to go down

deep into that stuff. From what I understand that is on par with other military flight costs for food and shit like that. No problem. But they're ripping people off. Yeah. By the way, listen, if you're the U.S., you can do that. Okay, you're the global superpower. You have the money printer that matters.

If you're Canada, you can't. It's beyond that. You've got to take a step back and look at the itinerary and say, visiting the Pope, is this something that we should do? should we bring a bunch of our MPs over there and wives and so forth. You got an ambassador in Rome, send that dude or dudette. Yeah. And achieve the same result for a fraction of the cost.

I get it. You want to go to Rome when it's fucking April. The weather's nice there. The weather's shitty here. I fucking get it. But people here are struggling as a result. The optics look fucking pathetic. Totally.

Please, guys. Just deal with the. there's even a Twitter account Carney's carbon captures I've seen it

I've seen it before the amount of the amount of fuel he burns going around the world yeah yeah it's significant

I mean the the thing is that the media is sort of complicit obviously in Canada with these travesties whatever

you know call whatever you want but the bigger problem they're having now is that they're losing you know you said you know

what does it cost Canadians every time they do something like this cost Canadian is a lot of money you know, in terms of, in terms of money we've given to these causes and these trips. But you know what it's starting to cost is legitimacy, both at home and abroad.

People at home take the government less and less seriously. They take Carney less and less seriously, and they view him with more and more of a critical eye, which is overdue, I think, given his reputation and what he ran on. But also, we lose legitimacy on the sort of broader, you know, in the broader international community. There's American politicians now tweeting about how the Camloops thing is a scam. And, you know, it's funny. I find it interesting that we're going to see the Vatican when over the last, you know,

seven or so years, I think. One of the campus things start, 21 or 22, I forget. So maybe not seven years, but five years. One of those two years. Six or six years. You know, when we basically as a country decided that we were going to pin residential schools, first of all, we were going to say residential schools, like killed kids on mass, murdered them, murdered them on mass

and threw them underground at the behest of the Catholic Church and now you want to go to the Vatican? What does Vatican say about that? What does the Catholic Church of Canada say about that? I think we've had like 60 or 70 churches burned to the ground in Canada since that stupid announcement,

which by the way now the Globe and Mail is even calling into question. There's no bodies there. Everyone knows it. You know? That's what I just said. The U.S. Yeah, the U.S. politician,

undersecretary of something was saying. Like Canada's, basically found themselves in a downward spiral of just like fever dreams about things they didn't do because they love the idea that they need to put their flag at half staff. I don't know how else to describe this except to use Gad Sads, Dr. Gadsad Sads phrasing, right, suicidal empathy. We will do anything but be proud. Amazing.

Amazing. It's so bizarre the things that are going on in this country. You know, and still we give preference to India. and bands and their chiefs when it comes to stuff like oil and gas. You talked about it earlier. We're doing this to ourselves. Why? Because are we like a, are we a city of London petri dish to see, you know, how far we can

push the United States? Are we a city of London petri dish just to see, you know, how far down this rabbit hole we can go of just stupid green policy, stupid, stupid, stupid real politic around the world? I don't know, but it's frustrating to watch. The funny thing is, you know, in terms of what I said earlier about the global mail putting this trial balloon out about cutting social security supports and whatnot for seniors, are the seniors even, like the seniors are the ones reading the global mail, not you and me. Are they going to say anything? Am I going to hear about that this week when I go of dinner at my dad's? Is he going to tell me that maybe I was right the whole time that the seniors are only going to be on vogue for the government as long as they're the biggest voting. He's not going to care. He's not going to care. On my street that just. came back from a trip from South Africa. He goes there now for the winters. Yeah. Because his daughter lives

there with... Talk about suicidal. Okay. But the way he described me, he said, he says he traveled so many places where he said, this is, he was in Cape Town. He's an incredible place. But the thing he said, can't go up for a walk at night. Yeah. Barbed wires areas.

Shanty towns, as soon as you come up the airport. Everyone's seen the videos of people like flying into half closing gates to rob houses and Kildi and Abidance like it's fucking crazy over there but the way this with even with all that he says incredible place would love to go back because you know what It's it's a Oasis and if you're in that a little oasis everything else that's burning around you doesn't impact you you don't see it And that's what really this is those people they are just lost

They will never get they will never truly understand what is going on in the lay of the land and even though you get the article written in a little mail they may read it, but in one year and out the other, or that's an article, that was an opinion piece. More specific. In one year and out the other, and they'll always say, you know what, elbows up because it seems better.

And the reality is, if there's an election coming up in the next little while, I don't think there will be. But even if there's an election in three years time, which there will be, the opposition leader

has a huge fucking hill to climb to even consider that he'd be sitting in Sussex Drive. He's making kettlebell video. I was wearing a Parliament Hill strongman shirt that he had made up. He's clueless. These guys are clueless, man. They don't give a shit.

They're completely incompetent. Rudderless doesn't even begin to describe where the conservative party can is. This is the first time, I believe, and somebody may correct me, the first time that the official opposition leader is going to run again as in the next election since Turner. Since this is since the 80s. Like two generals, you mean? Yeah. No, not to do. So Turner was, he ran and lost to Malrani and then ran again and lost again tomorrow.

That's what I mean. So this guy's going to run in two general elections. Yeah, sorry. It's only the second time. Yeah, okay. Yeah. I don't think that has happened since then. I wouldn't know.

With the official opposition. Yeah, I can't think of the time. So. Yeah. And so it's not off. Typically when the official opposition loses, they recycle and then go for somebody else. they had a convention they wanted to have this guy run again

yeah yeah like you forget how dumb these guys are you remind me and that happened just two three months ago I know wasn't that long ago

the guy did Rogan since then what else has you done I don't know I saw him I saw I turned on QP today for like five minutes just the same stupid shit TikTok clips

trying to land like three word phrases that might get retweeted by Mario Zendaya and fucking Marty of the North whoever all these other retard, you know, CPC mouthpieces. Like, you're not helping the party, man. You're not helping the party.

I hope the checks from Twitter are good, but you're really not helping the party at all. So Canada apparently found a buyer for LNG and it's Germany. Great. The main buyers. No business case. And, well, so the business case, if you, Trudeau said that, he was talking about building LNG facilities on Canada's East Coast. So you got to, that's what he was talking about.

So the people that are buying this, apparently, They are selling it to shell. They're going to be buying 2 million metric tons of LNG per year. And so the commercialization of LNG is definitely a positive sign. And like I said, they're not going to be using the East Coast. It's going to be going through the West Coast as a springboard for getting this out to Europe. It doesn't seem, you know, the right way to do things. But what are going to do, they're going to use go through BC, go through the Panama Canal,

across the Atlantic Ocean, and away you go. And the proposal is just a proposal right now Because a lot of it hinges on a couple of neighboring First Nations Getanyo and Giksan They are opposing the deal right now They say the pipeline crosses their traditional unseated territories without proper consent So without them on board

It looks like this may not be a true slam dunk because they have to build this Prince Ruber gas transmission pipeline, and it's going to go through those two areas of First Nations that they say that, you know, their area. So yeah, it may not happen, Joey. It may not fucking happen. You got to somehow airlift that fucking. We can't, we're not really like still at the mercy of these, you know, tribal people.

Are we? We can't be. I see, I saw the prime minister today is doing some kind of like, reconciliation activity, it looks like, with some band leader in, I want to say on the west coast of the country, but I don't know. So I would check that if I was you guys. But we've kind of touched on a little bit today, but it's worth repeating. These people are losing favor, right? Like the natives in this country are losing favor amongst Canadian public, because the Canadian public doesn't want to pay $2 a leader in gas for much longer. They're

tired of hearing David E. B. They're tired of the Cam Loops thing. They're tired of all this stuff. And this is at a time when, by the way, I think the native population still doesn't pay sales tax, right? No HST, I'm pretty sure. God, that could be wrong.

I thought it was only applicable on like, I think it's applicable on a bunch of stuff and in a bunch of places. And the point is that there's Canadians that are really feeling the pinch while these band leaders are raking in tons of money, you know, basically funneling what was supposed to be. I'll point to Camloose as an example.

You know, they got about $12 million to dig up that gravesite. They never did it, of course. That money gets funneled into the NGO industrial complex and then divvied up amongst the leaders. It's just like people are tired of this, man. They're tired of seeing people on TV tell them how to behave and using the term unseated. You fucking lost. You fucking lost. When Europeans got here, you had already figured out the wheel, but all you were using it for

was to make cups and bowls. You hadn't figured out the rest of the applications yet. You lost. It's all there is to it. We have to stop pretending that these cultures are like, you know, sacred and historically relevant. These people were fucking killing each other, scalping each other, splitting each other's fucking skulls open, looking for sacred gems.

This is not a technologically advanced people then or now. There's no point in listening to these guys and being hostage to this anymore. Does any other country in the world do this besides us, by the way? We're the only ones. It's crazy. Like, why are we doing this? It's right. I mean, maybe.

Australia does have that incredible video from COVID where the indigenous translator stands next to the prime minister. Like, that is a legendary peak, woke video. You should go watch that if you haven't already. It's like a sight to be holding. You got to watch it on video. Anyway, like without getting. too far down the rabbit hole of Aboriginal relations in this country.

I'll just say that I think people are sick of it. They're tired of it. So imagine Gwynna Timmies these days and the horrors over there. All the interactions with the JET. You see the grilled cheese pictures coming out of Tim Hortons? They just brought grilled cheese back. The cheese has never grilled. There's 100 pictures on Twitter of the sandwiches.

They're just cheese sandwiches. The bread's not toasted. The cheese is melted. Well, Tim Hortons, they obviously, they have a black eye and it's well earned. But I'm talking about this beauty of a story from the National Post, which was titled, Ontario Man Dies of Made after being assessed outside Tim Hortons. I go ahead. So, yeah, this happened in London, Ontario. And, man, this is something.

You can't read this. The story is nuts. You can't even read the story. It's like fake news. It's got to be fake. You know what? When I read this, one thing I think about this, we got to expand it, Hamilton versus Brampton Man to include London somehow.

We can't. Just do different Tim Wharton stories. Yeah. Go ahead. So Buddy was suffering from IBS and mental health issues. And he didn't have a social network to rely on. He had trouble finding work. you know, we're not in a recession, by the way, right?

And so he should be able to find it easily. His love life was, you know, not the greatest. And he was relying on his family to get by, had suicidal thoughts. And he was using heavily alcohol and opioids. So in comes Dr. James McLean. And he conducted an assessment outside the coffee shop. And, yeah, unfortunately, that's how he ended up getting made. I don't mean to laugh.

Tell them, tell them the whole stuff. story. Tell him the whole story. Do you know what? Okay, keep going. This guy's not the only, like apparently there was another one, another made case that the same doctor was involved. He failed to administer one of the three drugs that is used in assisted suicide. That is the one that paralyzes the body's muscles and that obviously is going to cause the person to stop breathing. The patient spontaneously resumed breathing again after McLean had left the home and the patient was already presumed and announced dead.

So the Ontario Physician of Surgeons and the College of Physician and Surgeons of Ontario, they said this guy does not meet the standard practice of the profession. He displayed a lack of judgment and conducted what the fuck? What can I say about this?

The fact he was able to diagnose somebody outside was fucking very little information and the guide him to the fucking, and apparently the way they described that maid clinic, that made place, I don't want to say it. Like, it's pathetic. It's a slaughterhouse. You know the guy, the doctor drove the guy from Tim Hortons to the maidspot? Yeah. Drove him.

So you see a guy who's got a tummy ache and is jerking off too much outside of Tim Hortons. And you just like decide to drive him to the suicide parlor. The comet? Listen to me? Yeah, I see. I know. I see that. it's actually nuts

Greg came over from from Bitcast he thinks I sound like Charmaine Bucco from Sopranos the the story is absolutely nuts like you're you're in the Tim Wharton's

parking lot down on your luck okay heaven for it happens to you yeah you're right to tell you these yeah a guy walks by a judge jets

jets a guy walks by and says hey buddy like what's going on you say ah I got a tummy ache and

I don't have a girlfriend and I just am thinking about calling it quits you know I can't find a job and the guy's like huh why don't you hop in the car like how does he how did he assess him did he pull up the stethoscope right there in the parking lot like what did he do for the

I got some candy for you in the car are gonna come in I got some wises so one day you like peanut butter and chocolate I got some for you well one day you're making sandwiches outside tip hivorn and the next thing you know

you're dead. I don't want to make a light of this too. He did have IBS so it could have been a real mess getting into car after going to Timmy's. He is risking having some detail detailing being done to the car afterwards.

So he's risking something there. He was driving jolopy. If he was driving anything but a shitbox. Why is the doctor going to Tim Horton's anyways? It's another thing I got to. To assess fucking patients outside, of course. Got to be. Working at the clinic.

Toronto, they're cleaning up the city before World Cup fever comes to town. And they say the focal point is Union Station in Toronto. And as a way to beautify the city and to make things safer, the city of Toronto has security teams out there systematically targeting and displacing homeless individuals. Targeting. A fucking bunch of bullshit. You know, if you ask me, it's like, and I, you know, I, with all due respect,

it's, it's like sweeping the fucking trash under the rug. That's what it really is, right? You're forcing these people to be fucking put somewhere else to make that area less desirable and safe and try to make union station a little bit better. This isn't dealing with the fucking problem. And they say the city shelters are a capacity. I wonder why the fuck that is.

Now, the fact you're doing this, you're making Union Station much cleaner. And I said this before, why now? Why don't you do it 12 months a year rather than the one month of the year where they have people coming in these foreign dignitaries? You want to make the city look nice? Make this city look nice 24-7. Don't fucking do it when the fucking visitors come by. Have some fucking pride. Let's fucking do something.

But Chow's running again. And you know what? She might get reelected. Everything is looking like she will. Brad Bradford is running too. He could be good. There'll be a few names in there. Furry, I think, was going to run, but decided not to. Yeah, the FIFA thing. So I went to

see Cake at Budweiser stage, whatever it's called now, last week on Thursday. Great show, by the way. I love cake. Great band. Basically, the American tragically hip, I would say. I walked by BMO, where they have the new stands up in the... Oh, my God. It looks awful, eh? It looks even worse in person. Could you imagine a bunch of people there?

jumping at the same time. It looks nuts. And there's like a bunch of tape hanging off those things still, like ribbons and shit. I hope it's over-engineered. Well, the thing is it's not going to matter anyway because they haven't sold any seats. Like the seats are $3,000 a ticket. They're way underselling. And it sounds like it's going to cost the Canadian taxpayers about $63 million per game that's hosted here.

So, you know, if you were hoping Canadian taxpayers to maybe like get a break on your groceries, Sorry, the best I can do is Haiti versus Brazil at 3 o'clock on, you know, June 13th, whatever. Who's in the groups for Toronto? Canada for sure is the only thing I know. I don't know who else. I have no idea who else. I know Haiti and Brazil are playing one day this week. I think they're playing on Saturday next Saturday.

Is it in Canada, in Toronto? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I have no clue. There's two Canadian venues, right? Toronto and Vancouver, I think, are both hosting games. Sounds right. So, yeah.

the Canadian forces. Oh, God. They're showing off their diversity these days. And so much so that the forces, apparently there's issues with how they treat women as their peers. A 15-page memorandum was authored by Lieutenant Colonel Mark Keeley. This is the commandant of the Canadian Forces leadership. and recruit school in Quebec. Right.

And this highlights the military's recent aggressive push to recruit permanent residents and non-citizens into their fold. Now, keep in mind, they also dropped the standards, the entry standards, and that is creating some issues with basic literacy. They wanted to boost overall enlisted numbers, and they achieved that. With all these changes, they got there, but they say some of the male recruits are struggling to adapt in a co-ed, military environment.

In the officer's training units, the report points out that some of the non-citizens and permanent resident candidates struggle heavily with culture shock. One of the male candidates or some of the struggled with the expectation to treat women as their peers.

And because aptitude tests are no longer used, the schools encountered people with unable to read without assistance. Or lack of basic functional fluency in either English or French. Some platoons comprised of candidates who lived in Canada for as little as three months. Put them on the front line.

They're going to run away. One French-speaking unit had infighting that they were experiencing, specifically from recruits from Cameroon and Cote de Bois or Ivory Coast. And they were fighting each other. And that resulted in a 48% graduation rate, typically 85%. This past rate happens. Overall, the pass rate has dropped to 77%. So I don't know why this is dropped.

Anyways, recommended changes including bringing back the aptitude test, mandatory language training, shit like that. These are our armed forces. They are here to defend ourselves. Then that's crazy. Do you not think that this is like the same? This is what when we say to people on this show, And God knows I've caught some shit about this over the years in my private life, for sure.

When we say to people that the immigrants coming here now have like serious hangups that will not allow them blend to society. Some of it religious, some of it cultural, some mix of the two. It's never reported on. Nobody wants to talk about it. But in this demographic here, the military guys, the guys who joined the armed forces as part of their PR campaign, it's reported on right away. It's a big enough problem that it has to be discussed in a report that's internal to the military that gets out, talking about graduation rates, literacy rates, views about women. Now just take that same sect of data, the same set of data and apply it to the broader new immigrant population. That is exactly why this is not going to work.

It's exactly why. you have a responsibility like we both have daughters i've said this on the show before you have responsibility to speak out against like you know religions that don't treat women properly cultures that don't view women as equals there's a you know a specific culture and religion that where the women have to hide everything but their eyes for fear of like being raped if they expose any skin at all just these people can't control themselves one bit shows up in the data here by the way in terms of sexual assaults and in europe in certain sexual assaults just quit pretending, you know, the jig is off.

The jig is up. Good luck if you still think this. I wish you the best. But you're going to find out the hard way at some point. There's lots of debate still. Centuries later, fucking mournithet. Why? What caused the Roman Empire to fall? Right?

So I think a lot of people still come up with the same reasons. the basing of the currency being one of them. Also is the inclusion of foreign mercenaries in your military. Yeah. Right. Commonly understood. Happens not just to Rome, but to other great empires as well. This is at the same time where, you know, I've said this before,

moderate guys, like Rabidu is my favorite example right now. Ben Rabidu's been on this show and who I will actually be interviewing for the sessions channel at some point in the summertime. this guy has been as moderate as they come on the immigration and whatnot. And him and I actually got into a bit of a, you know, not a TIF, but there was a back and forth on the program about immigration two years ago when he was on. And now the same guy is on Twitter saying that if you're not born in Canada, you shouldn't be able to hold elected office.

Soon, he will be saying if you're not born in Canada, you shouldn't be able to vote. That's a rational, that is a rational point of view, given all the stuff we're seeing. And I really do mean that. you immigrate to Canada, you shouldn't have a vote. Your kids, if they're born here, for sure, no doubt. But not you. And you shouldn't be able to join the military either. It's just a simple fact.

I don't think there's any really question about whether that's good or bad. It's plain to see. I don't entirely agree with that, but I'm not going to get into it. Let's go to... Let's do it. Brampton Man versus Cameroon Man, sponsored by our friend Twan, 256 Heat. I mean, Twan has chosen basically the best. the most popular segment of this show to sponsor.

I don't know when we started doing this, but I think it was maybe the end of 24, something like that. We started doing the Hamilton Man, Brampton Man. The reason Twan sponsors it is because he agrees with us on everything. And the reason we took Twan as a sponsor is because we like his work in terms of the home ash heater.

Mine your Bitcoin. Heat your house. It's a wash. Join a pool. A lot of mining. Whatever. You pick. Tuan's got a model and a product that'll work for you. Nothing is cookie cutter or like buy online. You talk to him. Tell him where you want to heat, what you want to do, what your options look like. And he will give you the product that'll work. Tell him to get a bit of a discount. It's summertime now. You probably negotiate them down even more. No one's eating their house these days in Canada. But winter will be here before you know it. As I'm sure you remember from last year and years before. So call them. Go to the web. website 256 heat.com and start heating your house with hash man see it's year 2026 you're behind it you're behind the curve if you're not doing that so big uh big shoutouts to wilheim for providing these

two stories so he's the one that provided them i hope you enjoy joy i hope everybody listening and watching this enjoy it as well i certainly did reading them so story number one we have a foiled motorcycle theft that a meetup leads to charges for men. Okay. And police have charged three men after police say they tried to steal a motorcycle during a potential sale. The botched robbery happened on Thursday when a male owner of the motorcycle and his friend

arranged to meet a potential buyer for the bike, according to the police. But when the pair arrived, they were boxed in by the suspect who tried to remove them from the vehicle, please say. The victim then managed to flee the area and drive directly to the police station for assistance and the police say the officers located the suspect as they were trying to enter a major street and three people were arrested 31 year old the 31 and a 35 year old were charged with attempted robbery so those guys they wanted that motorcycle so bad they were going to steal it boxed him in but the motorcycle rider he was able to get away alert to police and there you go so that's story

number one a lot of good angles to take there we'll talk about the the thought process in a Second. Story number two, man charged with theft at cemetery after dozens of vases went missing, please say. 51-year-old man is facing charges after the theft of a 40 bronze flower vases from a cemetery. And this happened between April 17th and 19th. And visitors were noticing vases placed at grave sites were missing. And police said that in a recent news release. And officers investigated and identified a suspect and. arresting him at his home on May 13th.

And the man has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and so forth. These are all the crime things he was charged with. Either way, people often leave flowers at graves, particularly around the holidays, and police say they recovered a number of stolen items and look forward to return them to their affected families. So you have not quite a grave robber, but he was stealing vases and others. What was the time frame again? Give me the time frame? April 17th and 19th.

Visitors were noticing that these things left to the graves were. So he must have done it before April 17th and 19th, right? Well, it could be. Maybe a few days before. You know, if you're putting something there, like flowers,

they're not going to last. So, you know, if I'm going to go frequently. Yeah. This is all happening within mid-April. I'm thinking I'm thinking it's cold out when this is being done okay

the motorcycle one is interesting because we know that the Brampton man is not a good driver we know this and so two or three Brampton men trying to box a guy in doesn't work out they can't quite make the angles work they don't realize the motorcycle's got a lot more maneuverability but I will have to add somebody has traveled to India there are a lot of people

riding motorcycles and scooters over there totally they want the motorcycle whether they ride it well is a different story. So I think there's a thread there that might be worth pulling on. The gravestone thing, why does the Brampton Man

want to steal flowers? Presumably it's flowers that are being stolen here. It wasn't just flowers. It's a number of stolen items. So maybe other things people leave at the gravesite. This is my problem. The Brampton Man has trouble, has trouble with assigning value a lot of times.

And so he doesn't realize that people just leave shit at gravesites that are not really worth that much or have like sentimental value, whatever. It's not something you can pawn, you know. So that's a risk to me that maybe the Brampton man be more likely to take than the Hamilton man.

But does the Brampton man really go to graveyards? Like when, when is the Brampton man going to a graveyard? So Sikhs are typically cremated. Yeah. So like culturally, that's a bit of, a it's a bit of a jump i'm gonna go with the brampton man boxing and hamilton man graveyard robber yeah you are correct nice so the three dudes from uh well the guys it's not all three from brampton but one of the three or two to three were from brampton let me pull yeah let's get the names

the names on these chaps oh you know what they don't have the names it's 31 year old from berry and then the 31 and 35 year old from brampton so it's two-thirds a brampton story but still it's got enough Brampton in it. Yeah, so there you go. Unfortunately, no names. What about the Hamilton guy? You got a name on the grave robber? Let me see what we have here. It's a 51 year old. That's what I recall. No. Wow. No, no nameless, nameless felons on CVP. And these are all recent. So posted on May 21 for the Hamilton Cemetery robbery.

Nice. And the other one. God, you would think I would have seen that somewhere. That's like a pretty decent story for local news to pick up. I thought it was great. I want to appreciate Wilhelm for writing the two stories. And yeah, buddy, you got skunked. So it happens. It happens.

That's it for tonight. Come back next week for more CBP fun. Until then, touch grass, man. Take care yourself out there. Take care.
