The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - Bitcoin News With a Canadian Spin - Keir Starmer (Finally) Resigns - What's Next in the UK | The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast

Episode Date: June 24, 2026

Illinois just signed the most punitive digital asset tax in US history — a 0.2% fee on every Bitcoin transfer, purchase, and receipt. Effective January 1, 2027. No exemption for transfers to your own wallet. And out-of-state brokers serving Illinois residents are captured too. This week on Canadian Bitcoiners, we break down exactly what the Illinois Digital Asset Tax Act does, who it hits, and why the Crypto Council for Innovation called it "the only state to punitively tax customers simply for receiving digital asset activity."But Illinois isn't the only story. The Federal Reserve proposed bank-style KYC requirements for every stablecoin issuer on June 18 — five agencies, joint rulemaking, comments close August 21. Stablecoins are officially becoming banks. Microsoft disclosed a Tor-based clipper malware campaign (Trojan/CryptoBandits.A) that has been running since February 2026, stealing Bitcoin seed phrases from clipboards and redirecting wallet addresses to attacker wallets via USB worm propagation. If your seed phrase ever passed through a shared Windows machine, you need to hear this.On the Canadian side: Prime Minister Carney's first federal budget cancelled the luxury tax on private jets and yachts — the only item in his budget that makes something cheaper — while Durham Region closed a homeless shelter and homelessness spiked 77% in eight months. Strategy's preferred stock STRC hit a record low of $87 against $100 par. Binance exits the EU on July 1. Jack Mallers' $140M XXI stock option package gets scrutinized. Bitcoin mining difficulty dropped 10% in the 11th-largest downward adjustment in network history.The week's thesis: every financial instrument that isn't Bitcoin is being taxed, tracked, or banned. Illinois taxed transfers. The Fed KYC'd stablecoins. Binance got pushed out of the EU. Bitcoin is the last lane still open.⚡ Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast — Bitcoin news for Canadians, every week.————————————————————————————————SPONSORS🔒 easyDNS — Canadian-owned, ICANN-accredited registrar that has accepted Bitcoin since 2013.

Wow. Wow. Okay, BTC mentor, Reid. We just talked about self-custody and the ups and downs of such things. If you want to get in good with the team of people who understands, you know, what's going on with self-custody and will take you from rookie or novice to expert and give you white club service all the way through, Nathan, Ben, Gary, Mike, Jesse, all those guys who are friends of our show. And obviously, you know, been in Bitcoin for a long time. built an incredible reputation and incredible service over a Bitcoin Mentor. I think he had a couple bucks off if you use our promo code. And I can't recommend it enough. If you don't feel good about your setup, talk to somebody you can help you. That's the best way to do it. I've seen the chat here from P-Man, the Sparrow Wallet thing. We didn't talk about it on the Bitcoin side, but we should. It came on late.

It did. I know. We should talk about it. Craig Raw is having his Apple ID dev account banned. It's up for banning because he's trying to signal Apple that there's fake apps in the app store taking people's Bitcoin, they don't recognize it. So if you go to follow Craig raw on Twitter, there's a tweet there. Or you can look at my feed. I just retweeted it too. Go there and start retweeting, tweet at Apple, all these good things. And make sure that you're, if you find yourself on the app store getting updates or downloading something, leave one star, leave comments on these other apps that are clearly fake. They're fake, man. You know, Craig is a one-man

team. And so he's trying his best to make sure that the apps are up to date and that all the other stuff around the apps is up to snuff, but Apple's really dropped the ball here. We talk about this a lot on this show, it feels like, too. Like, over the years... It happens on all those... Yeah, Play Store. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so one pops on, people use it, get wrecked, and, you know, Spiro doesn't have an app for your phone. It's a program for your computer. It's meant to be secure. It's meant to be more secure than the mobile device allows, right? Yeah. But people, they look at it,

they're using their phone, more and more as a computer, figure, oh, you know what, this sparrow might be there, and they find it, it says sparrow, it looks like it's a real thing. Punch in your 12 or 24 words.

Never fucking do that. You'll never see that Bitcoin again, guaranteed. Also, do me a favor. If you're on YouTube, like the video, leave a comment, helps us grow the channel.

Or Apple or Spotify. If you give us a five star, yeah, yeah, review us too, please. Of course, of course. Goes without saying. Okay,

where do you want to go first year? Well, let's talk about the, I mean, Kirst Starmer, Buddy is now... Oh, dude. Your guy, Kear is no.

I know. I don't know what I'm going to do, but... 7 p.m.s in 10 years over there now. He at least surpassed Liz Truss's 40-something days. He was at this job for 700 or something days, which is... Yeah, it's two years and they can just understand you.

Decent amount in the grand scheme of things. You know, Kear Starmer has been the target of a lot of hatred from a lot of different people, both over there in the UK and abroad. And to be honest, you, Len, I think he's earned every bit of it. I think he's been a truly good wef cuck for the entire time he's been in that seat in Downing Street. He said all the right things to please his puppet masters and thrown his people under the bus continuously, whether it was with economic policy, immigration policy, and now, of course, it comes to light that he was the prosecutor who led off something to the tune of 1,300 different charges during the Pakistani rape gang controversy over the last 25 years.

This guy's got to go. That guy, I don't say this often, but that guy could never be able to walk into a public venue again without being accosted by somebody. Should never be able to do it. Truly despicable person. And then has the nerve today announcing his resignation, talk about how he's going to put his wife and his kids first

as though he had a choice. Just fuck you, man. A total dickhead, retard, ruined a country, sent the country down the wrong path, villainized anybody who spoke out against him, as racist, bigoted, homophobic, whatever, a total loser. And we'll be happy to never see him again. And if we never see him again, it'll still be too soon.

He'll get a position with the UN or some other. Envoy or something. Or maybe he'll do what Trudeau's doing. Hold wrenches and pretend he's putting stuff together next to a pool. I don't know if he saw that picture of Trudeau. I did. No, he's not going to do that. No, I don't know.

I don't know. We'll see. I don't think he's cut from that. I think he's a prosecutor, right? So he has some chop. And I think he's got some connections too. Exactly that. He'll be a London much more interested in preserving, you know,

global order than maybe Ottawa is. So we'll see. I don't know. What's your prediction for the amount of time that passes before he shows up again? We should find a prediction of how many heads are beheaded between now and then. Like, that's what I like to know. Over under three beheadings, yeah, in the United Kingdom. Right.

Totally joke. Amazing that people tried to make the case. I mean, we didn't talk about this on the show. We may as well now since we're going down this path. We didn't, the UK and other countries are always saying anytime it's like an immigrant or some other like just 50 IQ caveman doing something stupid to another citizen of any color or creed by the way in the street, it's always this is part and parcel living in a big city. Don't politicize the event.

It's not a thing to make gains in your political campaigns. using this. And then when someone does it to the other people, like we just had that Scotsman go around, I think killed five Muslim people, maybe, or tried to kill five Muslim people, stabbed five Muslim people or something like that. Again, can't be doing this. It's not acceptable behavior. But immediately, immediately, it is, oh, my gosh, what's going to happen now? It's being politicized by the same people who tell you not to politicize it. Politics these days is just a complete farce. Like, no matter where you live. look, you look in Canada, you look in the UK, America, whatever. It's a farce everywhere.

And one of the things you have to keep an eye on, I think, is that the willingness of people to go along with the narrative, to me, it's like almost completely gone at this point. People don't follow the narrative that's being spit out by state funding media really at all, even the ones who are faithful voters for the party in power. And so I think that there's probably something to this idea that, you know, I'm looking at chat here at Pablo saying the next p.m. will be Muslim. I wouldn't be surprised, honestly, because you have like these

political groups now that really have taken a foothold. I mean, it's not, I don't know if it's in the stories or not, but in Regina, the Muslim call to prayer being tested out by a mosque. Like, you know, in Toronto? In Toronto, newborns, I think that they're saying that the number is 20%

are Muslim. That's in yeah, yeah. In Toronto. So that's that number, it's It's probably going to grow. Yeah, it is a disaster. You have to, I said, I said on Twitter the other day, every mosque in the Western world needs to be like seized and closed. So those called the prayers. It's not specific to Regina.

This has been going on for years. This happened in Ottawa. This happened. If you just type in called a prayer and you just go to Canada, you'll see this happened a lot of different times over the years in the past years. It's just now, this one, for whatever reason, has gotten some attention. Very bizarre. Very bizarre for a country to allow this to happen. Yeah. Another thing that's bizarre is this MOU with Iran.

Right? Like 60 days they have from the beginning of that MAU to find a way to come up with some peace agreement and make everybody happy here. Iran got 300 billion. Adjudicated by Pakistan, I think, right? There's like a third party country in there. Is it Pakistan? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. They must have got some cut from this thing. A billion is going to be given to Iran for the reason for reconstruction. Because there's been some, you know, obviously some bombings and shit like that. And they want to get some funds to do it. Does this sound like a win? You're paying them to rebuild?

What about they're saying now they're going to allow Iran to start exporting crude? Is that another win? You know what I think is going to happen? I think that they know this is going to fail and they're going to take hormones by force. Lindsay Graham was talking about this the other day as though he came up with it himself. I don't know if that's the case or not, but I was listening to a couple different podcasts, no agenda among them. And they had this thesis that Graham basically got the pat on the back from Trump to go start talking about how what's actually going to happen is there's a chance that, you know, a chance in air quotes, that the the peace agreement doesn't work. And now, you're kidding me?

I know because Israel? Because they can't deal with Israel anymore. And so what they're going to do is go in there, take the straight by force, beat the shit out of Iran along the way, and then start charging everyone to use it, right, to use the oil. I see Pablo in the chat saying it was dope too. I don't know if I have that exactly right, but it's from no agenda last night.

It's like 35 minutes into the show. It is great. I don't know how they would be able to, as you say, beat the shit out of Iran without putting excessive troops in the ground. You can't just simply lob bullets. and missiles in and shit like that what they've been doing. They got to go in with absolute forest because

the country, that's the only way to do something about that. Any other way, it's just going to be prolonging this type of engagement and just, you know, it's going to be a stalemate more than anything. But like this MOU, I look at this, it's set up for failure. Yes, because if you want,

if you want US and its allies to not do anything else towards Iran and Lebanon, well, I don't know. Israel's not going to fucking follow suit with that in Lebanon. Yeah, there's some there's some,

what is the name of the Accords? I forget now. The Abraham Accords, I think, is that what they're called? The Abraham Accords out there. They want to bring more countries in. Pablo's refreshing my memory here in the chat as we go. This is going,

it's going to fail. And I think that, you know, one thing that Americans love is being united behind a common enemy. And man, I really feel like Israel is going to foot that bill so well. I think that,

there's like a huge, the opportunity really for the U.S., especially the Republican Party right now, is you can abandon the Israel first sort of Zionist part of the party. And I don't know how big that part of the party is. I don't know if you call them, you know, Zionist or Israel First or whatever. There's some name, I think, for that group. I don't know what the best term is. But you abandon that part of the party for the Republicans who are like staunchly anti-war. And so they are adjacent to anti-Israel support.

And then you bring in, like, you know, the Maha group, right? You bring in these other sort of family groups that really have been the Republican base for much longer. And they're much more reliable as a voting block than the kind of finicky, you know, John Pod Horitz types. I talked about John Pod Horitz last week. They have all the cards in their hands. Yeah, they do. But you know what? They have fucking nuclear weapons, Joey.

Iran? Like, no, I'm talking about Israel. Israel has nuclear. They have all the cards. They could do whatever. How the fuck do they have nuclear weapons? We know how they got nuclear weapons. But the fact they have it gives them the ability to do

what the fuck they want because it instantly gave him an extra few inches under dick. And they're going to be waving that dick around as much as they can and fucking over as many people. You know what's crazy? You know what's crazy? It's too bad. We did an episode with Scott Horton or I did an episode with Scott Horton on this

channel that has like, it's got like 500 views. It is criminally underviewed on YouTube where he fucking nailed this like four months ago. All of it. Got so much of it right and did it while he was moving to a new house. He's like in an empty room. Looks like he's in a Taliban hostage video. He fucking nailed it. And I wish more people would go to listen to that because you'd see that there are people out there who understand the way that this picture should look if everyone acts according to their best interests. And the U.S. is starting to, it looks like now, not really care about wearing a mask like they're doing something else. So I, you know, you know,

the funniest thing is that we say this is destined to fail. I see people in the chat saying it's destined to fail. I see people, you know, on Twitter and on, you know, political media saying it's destined to fail. And then I look at the stock market, I look at oil, it's dropping. Like what? That's the reflective of how much money is out. That's the reflective of the amount of money in circulation, right?

Like if the month of money in circulation starts going downhill, you could guarantee fucking that the stock is, stock prices are going to go down as well. So they keep pumping more money in the system and where does that money end up? I don't, I really don't agree with that. I think when you look at the way that some of these assets have reacted to different announcements and events around the war, people do get jittery sometimes and they pull for cash, but they're not doing it right now. And yeah, I'm looking in the chat there.

Markets are irrational. They should be, but I am like, man, I don't know what is going on anymore. I really don't know. And, you know, Trump, to his credit, it doesn't seem to be interested in pulling punches about Israel, about the war, about Netanyahu specifically at this point. Yeah, I think so too. I think so too.

Either he was pushed into this or he did on his own, but the whole situation of him doing this, he fucked up because there seems to be no way out of this. It wasn't a clear cut, let's go in, whack the guy in charge and get out. It's not as Venezuelist style thing. I didn't whack the Venezuela guy. They captured him.

But it's not that type of situation. This is totally different. I think they underestimated the situation over the underestimated their enemies. And these guys, they're digging in their heels. They don't give a fuck. They've been sanctioned to hell. They'll continue to get sanctioned to hell, right? They'll do whatever they can.

And they're using fucking drones at a fraction of the cost to fucking create havoc against their enemies. Whatever. It's a bad thing. It's a terrible picture that's being painted here. And I don't know how we got out of this. but speaking of pictures trying to solve international conflict here Monday night

no Carney wasn't solved he was trying to dissolve a environmental conflict by planting a tree there's a big moment we got to pull the picture I got to see if I can find the picture there's a beauty moment that was captured this past week that Mark Carney was planting a tree

and it looks like the perception is that there was a plastic pot that might be around it. So people are saying that the I can't believe people are fucking seeing this. That the tree planted, this is a ceremonial tree that was planted,

was not in a plastic pot, but in a black plastic growers pot. Which... I hate to say it, but I'm looking at it right now. I think there's a pretty great for that. I don't know, man. I've planted enough tree in my fucking life.

You know what I mean? This thing don't look and look like something like that to me. I don't know. Maybe I'm a rookie at this thing. I only planted, what, 15, 20 trees? I mean, every few years I plant another one.

But I look at this and just, you know. We're going to diagnose this on the air. Keep talking. I'm going to pull it up. They say that the black outline looked like plastic because it's perfectly compacted, root-bound soil,

and that it naturally took the shape of the container. it was raised in before being pulled for planting. Can't believe this is a topic of discussion? Okay, here we go. I mean, we're going to look at it together here. This is the National Post. That could be an adjusted picture.

We don't know. Well, is this one an adjusted picture? Like, this is not a plastic pot. It could be any of them. The video that I've seen didn't quite look like that. They got the video. Let's watch it. Okay, here we go.

Hold on a second. Okay, so my career, I did have a career as a gardener. The first thing, you know, and then he, yeah. That is true. He's right about that. I don't see any fucking soil falling out of that. The one thing that mainly critists to this is he cleaned his hands after, but he didn't clean it for long.

If it was soil, he would have been taking longer, especially was compacted soil. It's a good point. Right in that, in that angle there, it looks like it is soil, though. Do we know? We don't know. I can't believe people are watching this video. We're fucking lying. Okay.

Okay. We're done with this. We're done with this part of the show. But I will say that I'm not convinced either way that that's a real tree or that it's a potted plant or whatever. Very good. Very good. See, there's, you're not sold. It's one or the other.

But I'm sold on one or the other. It's definitely fucking. There's a lot of commentary about this if you Google it. I don't know. know if, I don't know. Yeah, I see P-Man, is that Sotivet? It does look a bit like a pop plant, doesn't it? I don't know. Maybe. All right. This is another beauty of a story. It's a Hamilton story. Hamilton Patta Center, to be specific, Nimbiaism. And an application filed from Slate Asset Management

and they wanted to sever a plot of land on the historic former Stelco lands. Yeah. That's this steel port lands. This is right under the skyway bridge for people who are curious about where this is. If you ever drive on the 403 QEW, I guess actually that way. But yeah, you're going to cross the skyway going through Hamilton, through Stony Creek, over to Burlington. And that's basically where they were looking to do this data center. Yes.

And it's going to have ties to the federal government's AI sovereign compute infrastructure program. So they wanted to tap into that. So use that land, get access to data funding, set up a data center, and off and running. Also, there was a second data center hub that was proposed on 44 Frid Street. That's the former Hamilton Spectator building. And the people, once they got heard of this, they got their proverbial pitchforks and torches out. They stormed down to City Hall. 1600 angry letters were sent over to the city.

protesters, they pack city hall, filling up the galleries and hallways while chanting anti-AI slogans. And there was no AI shaman ready to sit in the mayor's chair. I was waiting for that, but it did not take place. Well, it turned out all this was enough because a committee voted unanimously to deny the land severance request

and temporarily halting all projects and stopping. Our mayor is a stupid commie, right? She's the former provincial NDP leader, Andrea Horvett. Yeah. So like not surprising. Following the protest, city councilors also stepped up to the plate. This was led by Ward 3 counselor Narendor Nan. And the Hamilton's planning committee voted to move forward with an interim control bylaw.

This effectively freezing all data center developments within the city for up to two years. And they have to update the municipal zoning and environmental. framework. So Minibism applies to Hamilton. Setting up shop these data centers, no, it's verboten from happening within Hamilton.

A lot of granola, a lot of granola groups in Hamilton, you know, without really criticizing the character of these people, which believe me, I could, these granola groups oftentimes are always pro the wrong thing, right?

So you were probably, if I had to guess, find that same group of protesters, or at least the Venn diagram, would have a significant amount of overlap. That's something that was pro harm reduction, for example. So no AI data centers, yes, drug-addicted vagrants. You'd probably find something similar when Tesla opened a dealership at Limerge Mall a few years back. You know, they'd protest that, but then, of course, they want to protect Stelko's lands. you know, one of the most notorious polluters in the country. Not to mention they're not a profitable.

They're not like a profitable business anymore. So these people are not smart. And I see you guys in the chat asking questions about their IQ. It's very low combined IQ. And there's some great videos out there that I won't show on this program. But great videos of some of the protesters and their thoughts on things going on in the city and going on with data centers and AI. You know, the long and short is that they're fucking clueless.

Of course they are. They're unemployed. They're underemployed. They're, you know, friendless losers looking for a tribe. And this is the, you know, downstream of that problem. We're just unfortunately dealing with it here in Hamilton on something that should be an innovative, you know, project. The Spectator building, primary estate by the highway. So it's not going to bother anybody. And it's a huge building. So, you know, using that building would be a good idea, I think. Spectator's been, you know, gutted and should actually just be, you know, reduced to a smoldering pile of rubble, if you ask me. But. Are they only by the Toronto Star? I don't think so. I think they're independent. Yeah, no, they're like VC now or something. Holy, good for them for, you know, keeping their head. I mean, they've been, they've been drawn in forever.

Like the shell themselves, right? They're basically now like a syndicated article hub more than anything else. It's kind of this, you know, they got stuff published by a bunch of different people. We should be guest writers. Hey, probably, probably wouldn't be that hard to be honest with you. Could you imagine our views in there? No, that wouldn't fly. Did they kick us out after the first article?

But you know who's not going to get kicked out are developers in BC. This is a crazy story. Someone jailed out this in the chat. Oh, my God. Well, they're going to get bailed out to tune a 3.2 bill. This is through the Build Canada Homes Agency and BC Housing. So we have both the federal government and provincial government stepping up to the plate to ensure that private developers that they are able to make bank here because there's been a large number of unsold inventory. and they don't want this to remain like that.

They want to fill them up with people somehow. So socialize the losses, privatize the gains. This type of move, what this does, it incentivizes people to continually take risks. Because if there are no consequences from your risks, it's unlimited upside,

downside, we all pay for it. That's fucking bullshit. Look, if you want to see, when it comes to risk and people being averted for they're trying to stay away from getting hurt, look at climbing, free climbing when you

climb a wall or climb a mountain and you have no equipment. How many people do it? Very few people. Only the people that do it that just essentially just using their bodies to climb up that that cliff. They don't understand the risk. They understand if they fuck up, they're done. It's over. But if you look at the same type of people that have harnesses and all the, there's a lot more people that are going to do that because they understand, you

what, there's a safety blanket here. Take away that safety blanket. Very few people will want to do it. But if you have that safety blanket, people will come back and do it again and again. And that's the same thing for this. People are going to come back again and again, take risks because they understand who's going to fucking foot the bill in the end. It's going to be people like you and me, the people of BC as well. It's too bad this is happening. They should have let these guys fucking suffer the consequences, let them fucking drown in the debt and then go from there. If they let this thing just collapse in its own, the properties themselves would have been able to be purchased on the cheap.

That's right. Number one, you would have driven down the cost of homes everywhere for good or for bad. No, that's number one. Number two, then you could buy them on the cheap and use them for subsidized housing and for affordable housing, whatever we want to call it. That's a great way to do it. Let the market handle itself. Let it do it.

Don't fucking jack it up because now you're just kicking the can down the road. And it just seems like you're trying to help out property developers and keeping them afloat. Why? There's people out there fucking starving There's people out there that can't fucking pay rent over there Because it's too hot, too high They can't fucking buy a home over there Because it's too expensive

Fuck off This is not the way to do things Let's do it right Let the fucking market collapse in its own But you know what? They're hell bent For a number of different reasons To ensure that the real estate market

stays fucking red hot Or at least to the point it doesn't go down too much Like I know why, you know why I don't want to fucking get into it But the reason the reason they do this is because they don't want the price to be marked to market lower. That's the big thing. Can't have that.

That's bad for investors. It's bad for builders. It's bad for the housing economy in Vancouver, which is a huge bubble, obviously, which is being enjoyed and supported by the Chinese government as well. No doubt about that. Sam Cooper doing a lot of reporting on that today with Mark Kohutis as well. The problem, I think, here, more than anything else, is that you, you know, if you bought a economy,

there, let's say. Okay, let's see you bought a condo at one of these buildings and precon. Precon, right? You buy a precon. And then a year later, the sales are not doing that well. And you have this issue now where you can't fill the condos. You can't let them drop in value and have them sell at that price. You have to sell them at the original price, like I said, because of, you know, investor issues or investor concern. So now the government buys them and then moves in like sort of low income people. Those are the prime minister's words. That seems to be his intention. So how would you feel if you bought a million dollar condo of Vancouver or $750,000 condo

in Vancouver and then next to you was someone who's on welfare? How does that make your property value sound? That's going to drag down the quality of that residence for everyone who bought early and turn it into basically like a welfare ghetto, which I hate to say, nobody wants to live in, you know? What you do, like you mentioned, is let the thing burn a little bit,

you know, it sells down at a reasonable price. Yeah, it sells down at a reasonable price. And these guys live with the consequences, but we don't do that in this country. Let the thing, when it comes to this type of stuff, Joey,

yeah. Businesses, I am a firm believer, businesses have the right to get unlimited profits within the rule set that they have to within laws, within regulation, shit like that. If you could get unlimited profit, go at it.

It's all yours. But at the same time, you have the right to fucking fail. And when you fail, you fucking suffer the consequences. I didn't fucking pay for this. I don't want to pay for this, but I am. Everybody's going to be paying for this. It's enough we're paying for fucking Ukraine pensioners. Now I have to pay for this fucking, go plant the fucking tree.

You know, there's better things you can fucking do. with plastic. Plant the tree is going to be the new fly kite maybe, right? Are we going that direction? Go plant the tree. Go fucking plant the tree. I got to give credit to my buddy Bob. We go golfing every Friday.

Show it to you, Bob. Bob, you're a beauty. And he told me this story this past week on Friday. Where the fuck do we play? Where to fuck we played? Turtle Creek. Or Turtle Creek. Anyways, Prime Minister Mark Carney

announced $200 million for an updated healthcare center and a new secondary school at Tumblr Ridge, BC. We all know what happened at Tumblr Ridge, and so this $200 million is going to provide a new secondary school and also update the health center over there. And so the existing Tumblr Ridge Secondary School, which is being demolished, obviously needs to be replaced. So the funds will be equally provided by the province and a federal government.

and the interesting thing here is Tumblr Ridge has 2,400 people in it 160 students from grade 7 to 12 200 million for a school curious

and a healthcare center 2,400 people 160 students I don't know I mean maybe this does Are those numbers verified Are those Bob's numbers or you look those up? No these are legit these are straight from CBC

Okay. Wow. CBC obviously finds no issue with this, hey? They're just like, yeah, sure. Wait to hear about our funding model. You want to think this is bad. So yeah. So these numbers, and this is straight from the CBC article. So take this, if you don't like it, they're the ones. So Tumblridge is home to about 2,400 students and about 160 students across grade 7 to grade 12 that attend the secondary school. Prime Minister Mark Carney, 200 million for the updated health center.

And this is straight from CBC. This is a lot of money. What is the cost per head on $200 million? I don't know if this shit adds up. I just don't know. So what else is in that writing that he cares so much about that? I don't know. Cannot be about the shooting.

Cannot be about the shooting. So it's got to be about something else. What else is out there? I don't know. I just looked at this. And again, thanks you, Bob, for providing this and leading to it. Bob is a research team over at CBP. proving every week from just Len to now Len and Bob.

That's great. Yeah, Bob is in this too. Thanks, Bob. Don't ask for any revs here. Don't get any ideas. This 19-year-old supposedly had ties to shooting the U.S. consulate, right? In Toronto, he's now in custody. So his name is Zara Jabby.

Ah, perfect. Good. So straight from the Toronto Starter article. you know again I got it from the article so Jabby was detained at Pearson International Airport after landing Thursday morning from a flight from Africa sources say he was taking advice from the chief

of Toronto police chief of Toronto to turn himself in and he had hoped that he'd come back to Canada he could meet with his lawyer and then surrender but he was fucking abroad Joey how could this guy have been abroad and nobody seems to have known about this because it hasn't been reported he is been abroad. It's like he just slipped

the country and nobody fucking knew. It's exactly what happened. He slipped the country and no one thought to stop him. That is insane. Why? We just saw CTV walk through an airport through the front door all the way to the baggage check or whatever. Like there's no security there.

And also like I hate to say it, but you know, when you get on an airplane, what kind of people are checking bags, checking IDs? They're not you know, none of these people are MENSA members. They're fucking McDonald's clerks, you know, dressed up in a different uniform. Instead of slapping lettuce on a burger, they're fucking slapping your passport

on the scanner. I'm guessing CBSAP. But either way, one of the best comments I saw on X comes from this guy, G K-K-U-Y. And he writes, proof, six months in jail in Canada is better than a lifetime

living free in Africa. That's why this guy came back here. So, beauty comments. Nice. At least he's honest, right? He gets it. So that's good. Yeah, yeah. So let's see what we have here.

That's going to be the motto of the TFW, whatever, overstayer pretty soon. You know, six months in jail or a year in jailing in Canada is better than living free in Africa. It's true. But I don't want to pay for it. So I don't know. You got to find another way. Bill C3, the Canadian citizenship by dissent bill that passed earlier this year, I think it was,

or late last year. As a result of this, you're able to pass on citizens. multiple generations out of line. So Canadians are being recognized abroad as citizens. But it looks like they're being revoked now. Immigration sent out mass letters demanding certain new citizens immediately surrender their citizenship papers and specifically targeting these quote unquote lost Canadians.

These are individuals born outside of Canada who recently claimed their Canadian citizenship through dissent. Hundreds of people have already been approved and received their certificates and they're giving them out like Costco cards, buddy. Just show up for the picture. You're in. Well, apparently there's something going on

because the applicants use quote unquote alternative evidence such as census records, baptismal certificates, or data from third party sites like ancestry.cate approved or dot com. Have you seen the subreddit about this, specifically the ones from India?

Have you seen this? No, I have not. There's a subreddit where these guys are telling, I should have pulled this up when I was looking at the stories for this week. There's a subreddit where there's like a bunch of people trying to immigrate to Canada, basically India, obviously the sort of prime

place of origin. And there's a lot of people talking about how they just like basically submitted an old photo of like a parent or something in school in Canada. And it's like there's no background check, no nothing. It's just fucking here you go. Stamp. See you at Tim Hortons next week.

You start Monday. Crazy stuff that were allowed. I was surprised that they did that. It wasn't more background checks. Maybe there were, but maybe they're not. You can't start a program like that and then also like verify every applicant. It's too much. This was the natural end to something like that. Well, you can do that because you could limit the amount of

citizenship being granted through this. Oh, God. You can say only like a hundred per year. Never. Never. And so that gives you enough time to. They'll never do it. You have the ability to do that if you choose not to. That's your choice. But you could certainly do that. And then if you limit it, then those numbers, you could spend enough time and effort to go through those applications individually, spend enough time and confirm that it is that they meet the letter of the law. And if they do, you know.

In a perfect world, maybe, but we're anything but up here. So I expect that this is going to continue to ride. Yeah, you should check out. I can't remember if it's like the, it's like TFWLMIA subreddit or the immigration subreddit. I can't remember which. The fact that these exist, by the way, is like a sign that the system is broken. These guys are just helping each other scam us to come over and pump up the price of

housing. Fuck these people. honestly. I'm so sick of these people. Let's go to the segment, the Hamilton versus Brampton. The most popular segment of this program is the Hamilton Man versus Brampton Man blind true crime story. It's brought to you by

256 heat. You can heat your house with hash, get paid for the heat, get the Bitcoin, off the grid, lottery mine, join a pool, whatever. I don't have mine running right now, but it's right over there. You can't hear it all winter long. Go back and listen to the stream. It's quiet as can be. And Twan over there will give you a couple bucks off.

You tell him we sent you. So go today. Don't wait because he's got new models coming out all the time. He's like obsessively iterating over there. So whatever I got is already like two models behind. I think he's got the Ghostbuster case now, which is so sick. So anyway, go there, get something. Tell him we sent you and get a couple bucks off in the process.

Okay, I'm closing the chat. Here we go. Bramton Man. Who gave you these? Wilhelm, give you these again? Wilhelm, and again, it's women versus women. He's in a battle for honor with me at this point. He's trying to just get something back and try and get me to make a mistake here.

But I'm polished, man. I've seen enough Brampton Hamilton stories. I know what's what. Okay. So we have a woman 30 charged with horse theft and harassment. Oh. So a woman is charged with stealing a horse and facing a criminal harassment charge after allegedly deceiving a victim to obtain confidential information, please say.

And the police said the 30-year-old was arrested on May 22nd following two investigations, quote, linked to equine industry. Equine, equine, equine industry. So in Ontario, I'm not sure if that's a budgeting industry, but it does exist here. So in May, police said the 30-year-old used an alias to arrange a meeting with an alleged victim under false pretences and also contacted school associates with the victim while pretending to be them to access confidential information. And the alleged victim became suspicious and contacted police.

And police said in a May 25th news release that the pair did not know each other prior to the incident. So it's very strange that this person went through the whole thing to try to steal a horse and also harasses. Hard to get away with a horse, you know? Depends what type of terrain. If it's a city terrain, yeah, but if it's kind of, you know, the bush, you might have a chance. There's horses, the horses ride by my house sometimes.

I see them in the street there. Yeah, you're allowed to ride them in some parts of the city. But yeah, I don't know. I'm trying to think, where would you be able to steal a horse from around here? There's only a few places I can think of with horses. None of them are exactly like racing quality. So it's not like you're getting away on four legs. You've got to load the thing into a trailer.

A whole other. Yeah, a whole other animal, pardon the pun. So anyway, okay, what's the other story? All right. Let's see. So they say police said that they also charged this woman for theft over 5,000 and theft with relation to horse theft in Milton and they say that, yeah, similar occurrences were done. So there you go.

That's story number one. Story number two, women accused in sex assault, forcible confinement investigation. So police have issued an arrest warrant for a 24, year old woman accused of sexual assault. And they say the woman confined her alleged victim in a home on December 3rd. Investigators say the alleged victim

whose gender is not being released tried to leave, but the woman would not allow them to. They alleged she assaulted the person for several hours before finally allowing them to leave that evening. And officers say the woman is wanted on charges

for forcible confinement, assault and sexual assault. God, I have I want to say about this, but I can't say it, obviously. They say that she is intentionally evading police. So those are the two stories. I mean, no one unintentionally evades the police. They only do intentionally. So the person that's stealing horses and has had a history of this type of stuff in the past.

Who wants a horse? Does the Brampton woman want a horse? Why does she want a horse? Or how much does she want to confine? The Hamilton woman, the Hamilton woman does not want a horse. and I will tell you that the reason I think the sexual assault one, the confinement one, is the Brampton woman, is because the Brampton woman is, you know, her counterpart, the Brampton man, the part of the world he's from, notoriously weak. You know, some of the worst, I think, grip strength anywhere in the world, you'll notice they never have a good Olympic team. They're not in the World Cup.

And generally, they're not like exactly physically imposing men. So I think probably the confinement one is the Brampton one and the horse one is the Hamilton one. I'm going on that alone. So one of the comments was the Brampton woman wants a horse to harvest a shit. That's an interesting point of view. So, yeah, the stories here is the horse person is from Hamilton. Knew it. Got it again.

Got them again. I am untouchable, man. What year are these stories even from? Poor Wilheim. Yeah, these are from this is from this year. These are recent stories. I didn't see either of these, but yeah. A horse story from this year.

Let's see the other one. I was taking forever to hold up. We could assume it's from this year. I am an absolute destroyer on this part of the show. Like, I am like all world. 2019. Identifying the Brampton culture. Latisha Edwards, by the way, is her name.

Latisha Edwards. Love it. I can picture what happened with the sexual assault, by the way. It's like the guy's cheating on his wife. wife and he's got to tell her like, oh, don't hold me down. I have to go. He gets home. His wife catches him cheating and he goes, oh, she

restrained me. She restrained it for how long? A couple hours. It sounds like in the story. That's just a fling. Like, what are we talking about here? But you don't know. Latisha might have some grip strength. She might have some heft. I mean, that's a name that, you know, sometimes comes with a little bit of extra cushion, but I'm not

100% sure that's the case. I think this is a, I think it's a case of a guy getting caught and trying to get his way out of it at home. It doesn't say that she held a guy. It says the gender is. Yeah, you wouldn't want to, you wouldn't want your name released if you were, you know,

held down by a woman for sexual assault. Oh, no. Stop assaulting me. We don't know what. I should make light of it, but like, come on, give me a break. We don't know what's going on here. But anyway, yeah.

The horse one, yeah, you know what? I could see like more horse riding endeavors and shit like that that are available in Hamilton versus Brampton. For sure. More trails out here. Yeah.

Yeah. Agreed. The only thing that they're good for is providing, you know. Yeah. The collecting, the harvesting of. That's right. Other than that. One or the other.

Yeah. That's it. Let's get out of here. Tomorrow on the BTC session channel, my interview with Ben Rabadu comes out. Nathan and I talk to Ben about a lot of stuff. So we go check that out. And then we'll be back here next week with more of the latest and greatest in terms of Bitcoin, Canada.

And of course, the culture clash, Hamilton and Brampton. Until next time, we'll see you guys. Wilhelm, buddy. Talk to later.
