Starting point is 00:00:00 Good stuff. Okay. Well, like, are we going to start with the new segment? No, no, no. Okay. Okay. Let me show on this. All right. We've talked about the UK. Let's stay with the UK because it's at least it's topical for today. And Prime Minister Starmer is saying that his government, they plan to introduce legislation to do something very interesting. They're going to add Bitcoin to the balance
Starting point is 00:00:22 sheet to know the Bitcoin transactions that are 600 pounds exempt from capital gains. No, no, they plan to reduce the voting age to 16. I love this story so much. For the next general election. Currently, it's 18 is the age that which you could vote just like many other places is you got to be 18. And yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:00:42 The goal for this they say is to modernize democracy. And so by expanding it to allow people at ages 16 and up is going to be, well, helping to achieve that goal of modernization of democracy. Also with this, they plan to allow people to use their bank cards as voter ID. Bank cards as voter ID. So the list of countries right now, I got a list. It's rather small that allow 16 years and older to vote. Yeah. So one, two, three, six, or seven. Austria. Okay. Brazil. All right. Cuba. Ecuador. Ecuador Greece Indonesia so those countries they allow 16 and older to vote would you say that there are thriving countries improve things I will leave it up to you to decide yeah if those countries were on a
Starting point is 00:01:40 monopoly board they would not be the fourth parallel. They'd be the first parallel that you could. The Baltic and Mediterranean. I'll give them the fucking electric company. In the UK, 16-year-olds are not allowed to buy alcohol. They're not allowed to buy lottery tickets. They're not allowed to buy alcohol. They're not allowed to buy lottery tickets. Yeah, they're not allowed to get married. They're not allowed to run for office.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Yeah, but yet they are going to allow them to vote for. Do you think they're allowed to vote because they're old enough to get groomed and not have the groomers go to jail? You think that's the line they decided to draw in the UK? These fucking morons. Is there a dumber? Is there a country that's had like a more obvious slide into retardation? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before we go any further, because Canada is also in the
Starting point is 00:02:33 running for this type of change. They are also, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, the Senate has introduced S201. That's a act to amend the Canada Elections Act and regulation adapting the Canada elections this is for reducing the voter age from 16 to 18 currently in the Senate it's in the second reading past the first it's now in a second reading and so Canada too looks like they're exploring this. This is a disaster. It's such a disaster. And you've seen like I do. Remember what you were like at 16? It's just like a total disaster to suggest this.
Starting point is 00:03:17 You can't fucking buy a drink. You can't buy lottery tickets. Can't drive. Can't get car insurance. Can't do anything because they're your beat you're too You can't even go to the army without parental consent in the UK I don't know what it is in you can't even buy you can't even buy GTA 6, you know, like you're gonna vote Come on. What are we talking about here, man? It's crazy. I love this story though. It's just like you cannot have enough Bitcoin. You have no idea how fucking bad things are going to get. You have no idea how bad things are going to get.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Your 16 year old neighbor who's doing TikTok dances in the cemetery is pretty soon going to be voting against you at the election. Trying to get another 100 bucks. It's just like unreal, man. you think the under box is gonna come from? It's gonna come from you And the people that are 16 they're probably in 17 If you look at the way they trend in terms of voting, it's gonna be more in line with Starmer's government for sure So the voting age should be 25 like that. That should be the voting age. age should be 25. Like that should be the voting age. It should be 25. I asked 18. I like 18.
Starting point is 00:04:32 I think I don't want to change it. Yeah. There's not many 18 year olds voted as it is. And if they do vote all the more power to them, they could die for their country. They could run for office. They could buy lottery tickets. Why not vote? I want to see every 16 year old drinking and smoking darts if they're voting.
Starting point is 00:04:52 That's what I want to see. A 16 year old voting for the other things 16 year olds are allowed to do is like truly inmates running the asylum level stuff. I can't believe it. Like you, if you were a 16 year old, okay, you couldn't coach like a youth basketball team. You like, there's just the list is too expansive to go down on this show. But the number of things you're unable to do, not because, not because of some, you know, artificially placed barrier, but because you're just too stupid to do it at 16.
Starting point is 00:05:29 And to have them voting? You just can't. You can't. I'm sorry. This cannot... A quality democracy does not allow this to happen. Now if you tried to tell me that the 16 year olds-olds in the UK were, you know, extraordinary in their intellect, I would say, okay, let's see it.
Starting point is 00:05:48 You know, but I don't have to, I don't even have to look at the testing score data to tell you that in the UK, test scores are something between way down from 10 years ago or the tests have been made significantly easier because of, I don't know, racism and learning disabilities or something. Like I don't even have to look. I can already tell you that one of those two things has to be true. And you know, we can pretend that it's every, every country is going to go this direction. I hope they do.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Honestly, I hope they do. Bitcoin, you don't have enough of it. My friends, you do not have enough of it. Chicago School Board doesn't have enough Bitcoin. They have no Bitcoin. I'm not sure how they rank in the nationwide testing when it comes to comparing Chicago schools to other schools, but Chicago is Chicago for a reason, right? They just didn't come here by itself. So I think the schools had a part to play with the shaping of Chicago that we have today, and if you
Starting point is 00:06:44 think things were bad before, it's going to get a heck of a lot worse because the Chicago school boards are facing a budget deficit of over 700 million dollars. Have they checked the have they checked the mayor's gift room to see if they could sell some of those gifts? And I don't know if it's going to cover 700, 700 million. That's a lot of yeah we gotta really be looking under the couch cushions in the gift room for that kind of money and it is haircut and shaving allotment again that's not going to cover to 700 but it gets a
Starting point is 00:07:14 lot of fucking scratch and so that's for the next fiscal year to 2025 2026 budget that they're looking at and so they have to do reductions in cost and so some of it's gonna be programs that are gonna be cut, layoffs, all that shit that goes along with this. They're saying that 1,450 staff are gonna be cut that's including 432 teachers in total so there's gonna be more students per class, more teachers doing extra. And look, it's not like Chicago is the beacon that we should all strive to be. It's not. It really isn't. In some regards, I think it is, but with respect to how things are playing out with murders and chilling now, has anything good happened in Chicago since Jordan retired they won a little Sammy Sosa
Starting point is 00:08:08 Before Jordan retired probably so white socks won Okay, a World Series when they shouldn't have won a World Series. Okay They cheated though, right? Oh, no, that was the Astros that were banging on the drums. Yeah I can't think of a lot the good things that have happened in Chicago since Jordan retired Yeah, I can't think of a lot of the good things that have happened in Chicago since Jordan retired This is the black Hawks won a Stanley Cup, didn't they? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so Bears they did fuck all since 86. Yeah So yeah, not really. This is lesson in there the thing the thing about
Starting point is 00:08:47 Not to like pin this on diversity. Okay, because I don't necessarily think this is the only culprit, but when you have classrooms with a lot of immigrants and a lot of people who don't speak English or don't speak it well, and other barriers to learning, like disabilities and whatnot, that in the past would have been moved to separate classrooms. Like when we were kids, there was always a spec ed hallway, right, or a spec class. And you know, if you saw a kid running down the hall in a helmet, you knew that that kid was spec ed. And so
Starting point is 00:09:11 while you were kind to that kid and empathetic for that kid's situation, you never had to worry about your teacher having to stop explaining calculus to you to deal with the helmet kid in your class. When you think about Chicago and schools and deficits and all these things, what you should be thinking is what's happening that's diverting attention from developing the top-end talent in that city. And it's clear to me that there's at least some role being played by this idea that there's too much going on in classrooms to your point you know it starts with the schools there's too
Starting point is 00:09:49 much going on in classrooms teachers cannot give kids attention they deserve when the potential in those kids is high but maybe more importantly good teachers will leave these areas right they'll flee because why would you want to spend your time in a classroom where you can't deliver that in the way that you want to, the way that you're capable of, and the flywheel continues to turn, right? As far as the deficit the city's dealing with, this is the same city that also promoted stuff like state-owned grocery stores. They were gonna force certain stores to not be able to close due to crime.
Starting point is 00:10:26 These people running Chicago are just not that bright. There's really no other way to put it. Lightfoot before Brandon Johnson and whoever was before him, these people are not that bright. And I don't know how else to put it besides that. Look at the quality of the proposals, the quality of the policies, the quality of the people running different branches of their office. And finally, then the most important thing to look at, just look at the way these guys address some of the most obvious difficulties their city has been having for the better part of two decades now. They don't have any ideas. It's just one poor idea after another, and anyone who criticizes them doesn't get it, or is a racist, or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:08 But like, it's just, the average person, like the normie doesn't care if they get called a racist, or a bigot, or whatever, for criticizing bad ideas anymore. And that's the way it should be. You know, we shouldn't be afraid to say that a mayor, white, black, Indian, whatever, is doing a bad job if the ideas are bad. This guy in New York is a good example of this, Mamdani. People criticizing this guy because he's brown or Muslim or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I don't care if he's Muslim. I care that he's a commie. Whether you're a white commie or a brown commie or a black commie, I just don't want a communist running the most important city on the planet, arguably. And this is the case for Chicago too. These are important cities in American history and American heritage for a number of reasons. Some infamous, some famous, some somewhere in between,
Starting point is 00:11:56 but these cities deserve better than these ideas and they're not getting it. And I think Chicago residents have a right to and a responsibility to be frank with you, to start asking why and start working on fixing it. Remember the Chicago school board, they churn out students that spit out lyrics like mellow bucks saying, I got my blick out, pull up, hop out, boom. I feel like Django with my switch. I went up a, what a bitch up like a pool. So clearly there is an evolution to the English language that I am not.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Do you remember, um, you're a little older than me, but I remember in the early 2000s, uh, country grammar came out by Nelly. Do you know Nelly? Yeah. Do you know country grammar? That song? No, it's, it's a play on the, I think it's a, not the Jefferson's theme song, but it's an, it's a sample from another song. The melody. Yeah. They did Nelly did a song called batter up. That's a play
Starting point is 00:12:54 on the Jefferson's thing. And actually, uh, George Jefferson is in the music video story for another time. Yeah. Um, but the, uh, it's funny, like the, the evolution of the language, I was thinking about this cause I saw this clip on YouTube the other day and I thought man Len just talked about this a while ago. In the early 2000s Nelly's Country Grammar was a huge hit on the radio you know moms were singing it it played at my graduation in grade 8 we used to listen to it in the car all the time I knew every words of the song and the song, it's like, I'm going down down baby, your street in a Range Rover. And then the radio version goes boom boom baby, ready to let it go. And it's kind of just like censored, played everywhere.
Starting point is 00:13:39 The uncensored version of that song is, I'm going down, down, baby, you're street in a Range Rover, street sweeper, which is a gun, street sweeper, baby, cocked, ready to let it go. He's talking about a drive-by shooting. The song is about, the chorus of the song is about a drive-by shooting. No one gave it any thought. And so I don't know when exactly that started. I'm not old enough to remember NWA on the radio. I'm not old enough to remember that stuff, but I am old enough to remember Nelly.
Starting point is 00:14:05 And I never gave those lyrics a second thought until I saw this video the other day. I thought, holy shit, this guy's singing about driving, shooting that he's executing. Yeah, I guess. And you know, when you think about like how far some of this stuff is pushed in terms of cultural norms and, you know, the Overton window, you know, there's probably something to be said about that in the way that some of these cities are finding themselves now. I don't know what st. Louis is like, Nelly is from st. Louis but, and there you go Pablo saying he sampled Down Down Baby by Traditional Folk, there you go. I knew it was a sample, I
Starting point is 00:14:40 couldn't remember where it was from but yeah yeah. Little, little, uh, little early odds hip hop trivia for you there. Let's recap what's transpired in Canada in the last couple of weeks or so. Sure. And the world of crime. And it was a zero hedge article by Mark Jantovic that Mark wrote it. And uh, so, you know, everybody, I think heard of the name Jane Kreeba. She was murdered in December, 2005 at Eaton Center. And it was a very high profile shooting and helped sway the election that was being played out during that time.
Starting point is 00:15:17 The guy that was responsible for the murder, Jeremiah Valentine, well apparently he was assessed at a 76% probability of reoffending if released so you're hearing this that I guess you'd figure why release them they did in January of this year he was released he's paroled and shortly thereafter just a couple weeks ago he shot up somebody killed him kill somebody in Montreal. So there we go Revolving door Yeah Then we heard about this lady The former she was a retired nurse
Starting point is 00:15:55 Shaznaz Pastona's best Angie and what I'm gonna butcher her name. Anyway, 71 year old she Poor lady, you know, she just celebrated her 47th wedding anniversary with her husband earlier this month. And that's going to be the last time that you're going to celebrate it because she was stabbed to death in the East end of Toronto by a 14 year old. It was an unprovoked attack and apparently he was trying to steal her car and she didn't want to give it up. Yeah. So he was trying to steal her car and she didn't want to give it up. Yeah. So clearly whatever. Then we have this other dude, this Akash Kumar Kant. And he was trying to hire a 15 year old girl for the purpose of getting his rocks off. And it turned out it was an undercover cop by Peel. And so it was a sting operation, nabbed him.
Starting point is 00:16:45 So went to court and it looks like if he was gonna be sentenced to the maximum amount, it's gonna impact his immigration status and his citizenship may not- Do we not want his immigration status impacted by this? Like, what am I missing here? Apparently we'd want these things not to jeopardize him getting status or citizenship in Canada nor sponsoring his wife. Now considering he was trying to hire
Starting point is 00:17:12 an underage girl, like a girl, to do something and he still has a wife, like why is she still with him after hearing it? I don't understand that that then we also have This past week an 82 year old dude in st. Catharines, Ontario It's now dead. Why this guy was in Niagara Falls chilling at a park somebody decided to approach him steal his car and With that very same call very same car run him down at the park that he was at so 82 years old gone then just a couple of weeks ago in Oshawa we had a very same car run him down at the park that he was at. So 82 years old, gone. Then just a couple of weeks ago in Oshawa we had a 14 year old and I think a 13 year old they abused a pizza pizza person somebody working at pizza pizza and
Starting point is 00:17:57 just a couple of girls and they're saying potentially this could have been motivated by hate towards Islam because the person that was impacted was a Muslim. There's also a 12 year old involved in this and they're not going to charge him because he's too young. Like all this this happened in the last few weeks, right? Like you can't say and then on top of this then we have Vancouver police. There was this guy that was charged for stabbing somebody just in June of last month, June 11th. Well, a couple of days ago, stabbed somebody again. Why the fuck was he out? It's just, it's unbelievable. Like it just keeps going. Like it's
Starting point is 00:18:36 so much of this. I don't mean to like do the smile on my face, but like it's just, what could you do besides fucking laugh? You know what I mean? Like it's it's fucking pathetic. There was a guy who tried to buy sex from an under... I just want to ask you okay, at the risk of you know having this turn into something that it's not meant to be, but maybe it is meant to be, I don't know. I honestly don't know what I think about this in this regard, but do you think if a guy named, you know, William Johnson tried to buy sex off a 15 year old that he'd be excused of his crime? Instead of you know, cash-cunt Patel or whatever the fucking guy's name was Do you think do you think that he'd be excused of his crime?
Starting point is 00:19:19 Just based on the rationale from the justice probably not because it looks like they're trying to there's something wrong There's something wrong with that. There's something wrong with that There's something wrong with that and then that is that is a real problem, you know for it's the same people complaining about Two-tier justice that favors one group over another Two-tier health care that favors one group over another two-tier healthcare that favors one group over another, two-tier schooling that favors one group over another, turning a blind eye to this. Same people.
Starting point is 00:19:52 And I just, like, I can't imagine sharing a country with these people for too much longer. I think a lot of people who are worth their salt will find small communities to move to, areas that are not dealing with this kind of stuff to move to. And there'll be more cities like Toronto and Vancouver and others that just become unlivable. Unlivable. And again, since we were picking out Chicago's poor policies earlier,
Starting point is 00:20:27 like, you know, Toronto is a place where people are dying all the time. Their mayor has time to dance in every single parade the city has. The city land is thinking about hiring a traffic czar. How about a fucking crime czar? How about a budget czar? How about, like, any of the things that are
Starting point is 00:20:46 actually plaguing your city? There's just no appetite to fix these things. There's no appetite for it. So I think a lot of people are gonna start moving away from these places and they'll just become overrun by unproductive, unpredictable, and broadly negative types of people. And we'll see how that goes over the next, I don't know, 15 years.
Starting point is 00:21:08 I got some ideas about how it might turn out. Here's something interesting. Food bank usage in Canada. Obviously it's going up. I saw this stat. This stat is absolutely insane. I couldn't believe it. So why can't you?
Starting point is 00:21:21 I mean, we'll talk about it after, but go ahead. Yeah. Well, I would expect everybody to be using it, not just newcomers. So apparently 73% of food bank users are people that have only been in Canada for less than a year. So people that come here for students, for temporary foreign workers, or maybe newly landed permanent residents. So of the total lot of people that use food banks in Canada,
Starting point is 00:21:47 73% are from people that live here for less than one year. So I think people are being sold a- All those doctors and engineers can't feed themselves. Is that what I'm being told? Yeah. How about that? You were called... This has been obvious to us on this show for a long time. And it's been obvious to people who listen to this show for a long time.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And it's been obvious to anyone who lives in a big city, anyone who goes to shopping malls, anyone who goes to grocery stores for a long time. And you can't, like I said a million times, you can hide it when the percentage of people doing this is very low. But when the percentage of people doing this rises to 75%, it's impossible to hide. And Boomer is making a great point in the chat. Where do the food banks get their food? Donations. Yeah. From who? From people and corporations. Yeah. How much of an appetite do these guys have to keep doing this? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:50 There's no work for immigrants. The population grew by two and a half million since 2022, and we only added 250,000 jobs as an economy. That's government data. So even that's probably massaged. You got the food bank usage, what did you say, 73%, right? I think it was the number I saw. Yeah. People have been here less than a year. And then I think also then if you expand that out to three years or less, it jumps into the eighties. So you got that going for you. And it's, what is the word that comes to mind with all this? I think with every story we talk about, it's easy to kind of get blackpilled, but we have Bitcoin.
Starting point is 00:23:30 So the end of society collapsing, the word is unsustainable. The word is unsustainable. Yeah, it's all it's just all unsustainable. It cannot continue. You cannot be the West cannot be the world's soup kitchen, food bank, employment center. It just doesn't work. It does not work. And I just, you can see the writing on the wall and we're all just going to pretend that
Starting point is 00:23:54 we don't see it. Well, not people in this chat, but again, you cannot have enough Bitcoin because the money that comes down the pipe is going to be like, you know, it's going to be like the NOAA floods. And you're going to have people wondering why they can't afford anything, why their house is no longer worth anything, why they're, why they can't afford kids or can't afford like, and the answer is going to be because of the printing and the printing is going to have to come because you can't just keep having 75% of the people you welcome into the country using food
Starting point is 00:24:28 banks and by the way and now I understand we're targeting 20,000 of these people to bring up to nine dependents grandparents parents from their home country wherever yeah so I mean you're really going to multiply this by nine and try to get people who are old. You know, you've been sold this false bill of goods. And again, there's a reputational investment by people who have been pimping this from your family to your colleagues, to your neighbors. We need to do this. Our demographics aren't shifting that we're getting too old. What, how does bringing in nine people for every one person, all of whom are going to be older than the one person help demographics? Like who, who still
Starting point is 00:25:11 believes this? Who still believes this? This is a demogra, this is a shift. This is a shift in demographics that you're not going to be able to bounce back from. And most importantly, they're all going gonna vote one way Stockwell day talked about this with me on the show a couple weeks ago when he was on that Immigrants come to Canada and are generally conservative small-c conservative by nature. They value traditional stuff their family all That but when they come here and can't afford anything they need handouts and you shift From small-c conservative to small-l liberal very quickly when it's when your you know stomach depends on it and I think this
Starting point is 00:25:51 is hard to argue with I can't imagine people still making a case that this is about demographics in terms of aging populations it's clearly not like it's clearly not about any of that stuff it's about prolonging power for one party and it's working and it's gonna keep working. You know, I don't see a path to the Conservatives winning an election anytime soon. Do you? Yeah, it's certainly possible. Oh fuck. How? Well, there's only one of two parties that are gonna govern. Yeah. And if something, if this guy that's in power right now pisses off people, they're going to vote for the other party.
Starting point is 00:26:28 I think some people might, but the one thing I disagree with Stockwell on was that the undecided middle decides an election. I think those days are done. No, no, no. I'm a believer of that. There's still enough undecided middle that will be the tipping point one way or another. I don't think there's enough in either ofided middle that will be the tipping point one way or another. I don't think there's enough in either of the camp to keep it going.
Starting point is 00:26:48 All right. Let's go to the new segment of the show, Joy. Is there a graphic for this? Should I put a graphic? No graphic. Okay. We'll call it the Hamilton versus Brampton Man. Two stories here.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Two stories here. Okay, yeah. And people are listening, watching. You can play at home as well. This is strictly for Joy. So they can get in this as well. So I have two stories. All right. One is for a Brampton Man and one is for a Hamilton Man. Since you were born in Hamilton, I'm hoping that you'll be able to figure out which of the two is more local to Hamilton. So I'll give you two stories. So the first story we have, man accused in real estate fraud faces charges because he was accused of the fraud more than a dozen would-be homeowners and this guy is now facing criminal charges. He was accused of taking deposits for pre-construction homes that was not authorized to
Starting point is 00:27:42 sell. So I can't get the name, can I get the name? No, I'm trying to keep names out of this. So even after with this, when it became public, the lawyer that was involved with this received calls from 50 people saying they were also victims of this alleged real estate scam. One person even gave $570,000 in deposits and they're suing him with hopes of getting the money back plus damages.
Starting point is 00:28:06 So that's one story. Second story is man faces charges because he was performing lewd acts in front of women traveling on the train. And this is a series of incidents that are taking place. And it's suspected of masturbating in front of women and four separate dates. That is lewd. You gotta bury the lead there. Lude not doing that justice at all. And the man apparently was continually masturbating over his shorts while staring at women and please say that he exposes genitalia to women and masturbated in front of her presence. So those are the two stories. Story eight, we have the man that defrauded
Starting point is 00:28:45 a bunch of real estate people, have been involved in real estate. Second is we have the guy that was just stroking it on the Go Train, which is the Hamilton man, which is the Branton man. And people at home, you can play as well. Let me know what you thought. I turned the chat off because I don't want to see
Starting point is 00:29:00 if people are telling me the answer. So I'm going to say that the go train guy is the Hamilton man only because, only because there's just not that many new buildings being built in Hamilton that need $500,000 deposits. And I think that probably the Brampton deposit guy is getting money from new immigrants if I had to guess. And so that's why I wanted the name. I'm guessing he's not going to have a traditional Canadian name, the Brampton guy. So yeah, you're correct. And so Moise Coonwar is the guy from Brampton and he was certainly the guy that was involved in real estate scam. And the guy that was stroking it was Jonathan
Starting point is 00:29:43 Gordon from Hamilton. He's the Hamilton man. There you go So we have the Hamilton versus Brampton man. Very good. So hopefully people at home enjoy this segment You can play along as well moving how old is John Gordon, you know He looks like he's in his 50s. I'm gonna pop the story quickly. I have it here.

All right. Great. Are we done? Is that it? That's it. Joey. We actually we can do one more
Starting point is 00:30:31 We got that we'll do one more. We'll talk. This is a story from global news. So it's not my story I'm reading it the title of a story from global news, by the way, I'm just never good of a story from Global News, by the way. Oh no, he's never good. Before joining cabinet, the public safety minister wrote immigration support letters for terror group member. This is from Global News, by the way, not from my own, for me. And according to the article, I'm reading it verbatim, he wrote letters urging Canadian officials to approve the immigration application of a man that they had determined was a member of a terrorist organization and the letters were dated from 2016 and before he was the before he joined cabinet the cabinet member is Gary I can't pronounce his last name he's a Sri Lankan dude so it's his first week on the job guy that guy yeah I think
Starting point is 00:31:23 they're talking about he's talking about a pal license with Buddy who used to be a YouTuber. I can't remember his name. Lawton Lawson, something like that. It's kind of a heavier set guy. I saw that clip maybe a month or two ago when the government first came into power. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So he's writing letters on support of this guy named Sen Thuran Selvakuraman. Hopefully if I'm pronouncing it right. Anyways, apparently he was involved with the Tamil Tigers that has been deemed to be a terrorist organization. CBSA had said there's national security and public safety implications for having this guy
Starting point is 00:31:59 be granted status. Also as well, this guy claimed to have made a mistake over two decades ago when he claimed refugee status back in the UK based on the false story of relatively low involvement with the Tamil Tigers. How does one have relatively low involvement? And forget about that. What's high involvement? I wouldn't know, but like, if you go by Sopranos characters, okay, like are we talking like his relatively high involvement like you know big pussy or is it Christopher and relatively low involvement would be like Like meadow soprano like how like how low on the chain? Are we talking for relatively low involvement? I don't know. Maybe he's the water boy of the team and he just simply just fighting with refreshments. I team and he just simply just fighting with refreshments. I have no fucking idea.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Are we talking like are we talking Polly Walnuts or are we talking the guy who empties the registers at Bada Bing? Like where are we on the on the involvement scale here? I don't know but he's here in Canada for now at least and it looks like they're trying to act to get him removed. Interesting. Do we know where he is? Do they know? No, I didn't He wanted to move to Toronto so is he is he in Toronto is he wanted tag on him getting their tag on this guy
