Katie Martin 5441 okay, so listen I bought a Yeti water bottle on sale on Amazon the other day and I came today It's the worst color possible. I don't know what you call this color like seafoam or something But I've put some great stickers on it and I'm looking forward to bringing it to work tomorrow It's nice. Oh, I'm gonna read it. Yeah, I'm gonna on mirror my camera. Hold on. I have to I'll do that for you here There can you read it now? No, he still can't it's upside down I'm gonna un-mirror my camera. Hold on, I'll do that for you here. There, can you read it now? No, you still can't. It's upside down.

There it is. Taxes extortion, inflation is theft. Yeah, your government is stealing from you. There's some other bangers on here. Well, you got a bunch of stickers. How the fuck did you get these things? Madex gave them to me. And I've been keeping the stickers that I've accumulated over the years.

I have some great orange pill ones, like the ones that were given away for free a while back. You remember those ones, those packages that you sent out? No, but hook me up. I've got to cover the rest of my car. I'll see if I can find it. I think they're in this closet right here. This is like the studio closet, all the boxes and shit and stuff that I bought over the

last few years. But yeah, I'm going to fill this thing with stickers and tote it around the lab maybe. I don't know. You know what I think is funny too? How much can you tell about someone from the stickers they put on their water bottle, you think? Quite a bit. More on the computer, I they put on their water bottle? You think quite a bit or in a computer? I think the laptop sticker. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. You're the only person I know that put a sticker in a water bottle like to me. Everybody has seen that a water bottle. It's always just blank

so like yeah, I Would expect those stickers to not last that long right because no they'll last they think so Oh, yeah, my wife's got a Yeti water bottle and she's had stickers on there forever. She's like the most hydrated woman on the planet. Can I just note here? I saw that BTC Priestess is in the chat. I've been thinking a lot about this two wives thing over the last little while. This discussion we had a few weeks back. If you had more than one wife, right? Like let's say you had multiple wives like she was was suggesting is a good idea. I'm not saying it's not a good idea.

I'm sure it'd be fun some nights and real pain others. The thing that I asked today, I had to mow my in-laws' lawn because my father-in-law is getting older. He needs a hip replacement now. So it was my week to do it. I went over there to do it. What if I had a bunch of sets of in-laws? Would I have to do chores and put up with all these in-laws at the same time? Is that what I'm supposed to take from all this? No? What would my responsibility

be to my multiple sets of in-laws, you think? I can't say this is the right thing. perhaps one theoretically could just outsource this to the significant others. I'm not saying... You need multiple husbands to do the work for the multiple in-laws. I don't know. And then you're just back at monogamy. It's winter time.

It's a huge fucking snowstorm. Your driveways, shovels there. Great, we've got guests. That's all theoretical. They got, I had a good time doing it. It's fun. I always like see my in-laws. There is a drawback in your eyes.

Yeah. Having multiple. I'm half expecting to get a Twitter DM now from our friend there about this. I don't know what to make of all this long house talk, but you're rich enough to afford two wives. You are not mowing the lawn for your in-laws. Oh God, here we go. I can send over an unemployed Coinbase customer service rep to do it.

He's looking for jobs. I know some wealthy folks that still mow their lawn. Cutting the lawn is like it's like copacetic, right? I think they're just always busy doing stuff. It's just it is what it is. Anyways, Brandon Johnson. Love it. I knew we were going to start in Chi town. My favorite guy, DJ.

Yeah. You want to lead off this? He says he only hires blacks because they're the most generous race. That's the thing he said, I think in an interview paraphrasing. What is wrong with this guy? Like, even if you think that, I don't know if that's true. Like I'm not saying it is or isn't true, but like this guy can't help himself. How did Chicago get lucky enough to get rid

of the worst mayor on earth, Lori Lightfoot or whatever her name is. And then they fell backwards into this guy, this guy a couple of years later, this guy is an unlimited treasure trove of stupid. The haircuts, the gift room, like it just never stops. It never stops with this guy. He's on the show every week.

He's talking, we're talking about something this guy did. He's a multiple, yeah, I like him. I hope he runs again. And I hope he runs again and wins. Because if he lose this, this is great talking points. It's bad for the show if he's not in office, yeah. Well, whatever. But yeah, I don't have anything to say. I know you probably, maybe if you want to put anything more, any more flavor,

this guy's obviously never hired Italian grandmothers for city roles, because I'll tell you that Italian grandmother's very generous, very generous. So New York state is going to be handing out $400 to 8.2 million households and they're doing this because this is what they deemed to be the first ever inflation refund checks. This is gonna be mailed to eligible New Yorkers in October and November this year. No need to apply, right? Just it happens automatically. And Ontario did the same thing not too long ago, just before the election.

I think we all got around 200 bucks. Aren't we due for another check soon? I thought we were. The election is done. They got a majority. Ah, no more checks until the next election. Okay. Yeah.

So I bought the dip with that, by the way. It was wonderful. Didn't we all know the actual it was I got the dip with that, by the way. It was wonderful. Oh, didn't we all? It was, no, the actual, it was, I got the lowest price. I was fucking, the only time in my life I ever timed it. In fact, I got the lowest. Like in the past few months, it's been the lowest price. Anyways, New York's doing the same. They're going to be air dropping money to her residents. And what could you say about this, right? Did we not just hear from Eric Adams that they're in like a budget emergency and now

he's giving away, you know, what's the number end up being? 320 million, something like that? More than that? What is it? 400 bucks you said to how many people? 8.2 million. Yeah, 300. I think that's 320 million.

So quite a bit of money to be giving away. This is part of this year's budget, right? That's the one thing they say, like it's already been earmarked. This money has been oh, well It doesn't count that it doesn't count. Yeah, sure. It's already spent right? It's just spent it wisely but if you're gonna give money because people are fucking hurting if you guys inflation like get to the root of the cause and doing this obviously it's gonna make it worse, right like And doing this obviously is gonna make it worse, right like Whatever nothing else nothing else I gotta say the beauty of a story in Los Angeles, California I don't know if this is true or not

But they're the homeless over there one homeless guy broke into the light pole You know those light poles that have the lights that shine in the streets and he got the power from that right because he needed fucking power for his tent so he fucking ran a lawyer straight from that to his fucking tent with a bunch of these sketchy wires that were attached and some of it was exposed I don't know if this is true or not if it was just a troll or it was fake because the voltage from that apparently is either gonna be 480 volts or 277 volts it's an odd number but that's what's used in the state of California for these things so he needed a step-down transformer probably didn't

have one but still in the end I don't know if it's truth or fiction given is California we talked about a lot of stuff remember people stealing stop signs and all like there's so much bullshit going on over there this potentially could be true but i don't know anything else you want to say about this beauty of a story i mean what what can you really say about this i love i love fucking california just like toronto i love it's great it's great yeah i mean california is an unlimited treasure trova stories i'm

waiting for the palisade rebuild stories to start hitting. The Palisade fire is now six, seven months behind us. And Adam Carolla starting to do man on the ground videos and talking about this stuff, about how the richest people on the planet are going to start hitting a buzzsaw when they start trying to rebuild. I can't wait to see what happens, but we'll find out soon enough. So speaking of Toronto in a chat, in chat Joey I put it I see it here yeah punch that fucker up and it's you want me to put it up here yeah okay yeah

we'll complete the audio of this it's apparently it's the Toronto mayor they're receiving these shipping containers that is gonna be used for It's great please please like these laughs we need another fucking theme song Okay, here we go, let's see this is beauty This is exciting because I'm in front of a construction site. It's home to 55 seniors. They're gonna move in early spring next year. We're building it. Next year? And with the Community Center, a very well-known, very good social service agency is gonna come and operate it. These seniors that are gonna be here will get comprehensive support whether they need mental health or any other kind of services. So yeah,

yeah, they're shipping containers like they're literally shipping containers. They have a looks like a boom bringing that shit around. And fuck, like what could you say this is what we came we've come to in terms of dealing with the homeless and housing situation is people are gonna be living in Rachel hits you with the yay at the end I guarantee if I google that green community or whatever custodian of the of the shipping container condo farm,

I guarantee there's gonna be a couple of fucking scandals. I can guarantee it without a doubt. There's just no, there's no way. The city of Hamilton purchase a bunch, a price that far exceeded what you could get them in reality. From a fake aboriginal business. I'm pretty sure it was a story that yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Got the fucking tents or whatever

from China and claim they were doing like six grand each or something for 45 or so. What a nightmare. So yeah, anyways, let's talk about international students. Can we just get these comments in the chat? Is she really proud of putting old people into sea cans? Is this Canada or Somalia? If it's good enough for stuff coming from China. It's good enough for teamu hauls. It's good enough for our seniors. It's unbelievable man. If a drop shipper is going to think, I gotta tag. Why can't we put people inside it? I gotta tag Ron Butler in that. We should give Ron Butler back on the show too. That guy's fucking jokes.

So international students in Canada, apparently they have filed a number of asylum claims. Oh my god. Over 20,000 asylum claims were done last year. And this year we're gonna be surpassing that number. And generally when you come here as a student, you are gonna be going back because you're not a refugee. You're just coming here to study, right?

That's why you're given the visa and given entry into Canada for. So they're trying to circumvent, I think a lot of people are trying to circumvent the system in order to maintain residency here or maybe it's somehow home run, hit a home run and get status here eventually. The number of asylum claims I took a look at, it's gone up considerably, not just for like students but just in general, last year we had 171,000 claim for refugee. Cool. The year before was 143,000.

So that was in 2023. I didn't check, sorry, 2022 was 91,000. So there's a big jump from 91 came in 2022 to 171 just last year. I didn't check 2021 and 2020 because of COVID years. But even 2019 was 64,000. So you can see the significant, significant drop. Yeah. Yeah. And the number of cases that are being heard is low because they don't have enough people out there to hear the cases, to review them, because there's a lot of work to determine if somebody is indeed a legitimate refugee.

I can help. They're not. And they should be made to wait in the country from which they're applying until their case is reviewed. It's really, it's really that simple. There's nothing to it. It's so easy. But because of these like stupid fake international laws, we pretend we give a shit about like, just send these people home. Like what are we talking about here?

Me and Ben Rabideau got into a bit of an argument when he was on the show about this because he was saying that he thought, you know, we're going to see drop offs and TFWs and PRs and it's going to be fine. Like, no, they're not going to leave. They're going to find other ways to try and fleece you. And this country is so suicidal in its empathy that it's just going to refuse to do the right thing. It's just going to refuse. You know, like you have to wait in the country from which you are applying. Otherwise this is just not going to work and you're going to just overload the country with people who are fucking lying about asylum. And by the way, the people who come here on shitty diplomas, try, they refuse to go back and then they lie about asylum. Do you think these people are going to contribute positively

to your society as a Canadian? They're not. Let me, let me break it down for you. They're not and they're losers. Like go back home. for you. They're not. And they're losers. Like, go back home. That's all there is to it. There are good people out there who want to come to Canada. Bring those people over. Let them contribute. These clowns are not among them.

Period. End of story. We got to stop pretending otherwise or we're fucked. They're here. They're not going home. I know. You know, it doesn't talking about. I'm not fucking touching that because, you know, but I'll say this button topic that there's somebody in my street that is, is now a citizen and came to Canada and he was one of those people. South African farmer. Yes. Yeah. And he came here. I mean, the, the, the South African, we'll talk about South Africa. Sure. Why not? Why not just nuke whatever reputation I have left? Wonderful guy. I chat with him every so often. The South African government putting out that press release about how farmers, most of whom

are white, I take it. I'm not 100% sure about this, but they're not, they say that white farmers are not trying to escape danger, they're trying to escape reconciliation and the truth or whatever. Yeah, that's sort of the same thing. It sounds to me like you guys over there are trying to kill people and they should just leave. There's so many problems with asylum and refugee claimant systems because of the United Nations, again, like these really stupid and fake international conventions that we claim

are, you know, the stitches that keep the world together. It's just not true. There's gonna come a time soon when the US leads the charge. If they're not doing it already, you know, you can make the case they are, obviously. And by the way, the US doesn't follow any of these rules if they're ever inconvenient. Just want to point that out. The US is going to just leave these international groups and they're going to do whatever they want for the good of their country, for the betterment of their people. And they're going to be so successful because of it. And it's going to be hard to ignore this as Canada, as Mexico, as a European country, as the UK, as whatever.

So the more I see stories like this about fake refugees, fake asylums, all this stuff, the more I think we're eventually going to go this direction of independence. It's only a matter of time. Canadian people and productive people will not stand for this for much longer. And you're starting to see the threads unravel on that. All over the world, basically. They're here. And you know what? They're not going home. No matter how much you want to say we change here, they're not.

No, they're not gonna leave. I know. No, I think you're right. I think you're right. The US is even having trouble. The US, typical kind of, you know, clown world outcome here for the United States, there's no judicial involvement or court involvement when people come over to the US to, quote unquote, claim asylum or come as an illegal or whatever. No one cares. But then every

single deportation attempt has to be individually reviewed by a court of judges. It's got to go through appellate courts and Supreme Court and state courts. And it's just so laughable that the idea that anyone thinks this is anything but a political vehicle for continued left wing dominance. It's just like, it's obviously, obviously wrong. And we got to just, we have to do something about this. Like I said earlier though, you know, if this does get to the point where productive people and agile people more importantly are affected, then it's it's gonna be, you know, time for us to leave. We talked about this on the show, right? You

mentioned it on the Discord all the time. What's your GTFO plan? You gotta have one. You know, a lot of people, they've been, you see, we had to start a channel on the discord for GTFO planning. Incredibly that there's enough people out there that are taking action or thinking about taking action, which is awesome. It's better to have a plan and not have one. That's all I got to say. Yeah.

Yeah. Now we've got a trio of topics we could talk about. We could talk about the tariffs that were the country tariffs that were repelled. We could talk about elections, Canada. We could talk about the tariffs that were, the counter tariffs that were repelled. We could talk about elections Canada. We could talk about the cabinet. Let's talk about the tariffs. The budget thing we'll talk about too because it's important through the lens of the tariffs. Are we talking about how the Prime Minister quietly kind of behind closed doors in April brought the tariffs to zero before the election? Yeah so interesting stuff. It's

interesting for two reasons. One, because obviously the messaging during the campaign was like, we have to go elbows up. We have to be serious about the Trump, uh, white house. And there's a threat to the country's sovereignty in our, our economy and blah, blah, blah. Wants to break us, to buy us all this stuff. We've heard it all. It wasn't really, uh, the bill of goods that we were sold, that the taxes came down basically to zero before the election. That's one thing. But the bigger problem is that you'll remember the commentary and, you know, controversy is probably too strong a word, but there was some discourse in the press and on this show

about the two budget platforms. I just did a CBP quick current last week that came out on Friday or Saturday about the Carney split budget, operational versus investment and sort of some precedents for this and what you might expect and the risks and rewards. This is before the story dropped about the tariffs. I wish I would have had that information

because it would have changed the way that I approached that. But the thing that's important is that in the liberal platform budget costing, there was billions of dollars in income from new tariffs placed on the United States. And when that was released, the tariffs had already been dropped to zero. So there was, you know, I dare say some dishonesty there from the party about the nature of the tariff income, the plans to keep those tariffs in place, whether or not the tariffs were in place at the time. And then they criticized Poliev for his unrealistic costing. It was a big thing on CBC, right? Carney was the guy with the experience and as

Prime Minister he had done these things already and he had plans for the economy going forward and here were the costs and how we were going to bring this money in. It just wasn't true. And now he's won the election. He's very close to a majority just at the ballot box now. If he doesn't get anyone to cross the aisle, I suspect he will. It won't be that hard to do so. It doesn't seem interested in making any appeals for support to any of the other parties, which tells me he's got a plan to get exactly the majority he needs.

And you can make the case this was all built on a foundation of sand, right? That's probably the kindest way to put it, and I don't want to go too much further than that because the details are still, I think, a little cloudy and he's not talked about it, you know, in the press yet. So I'll wait to see what he says, but it doesn't look good, does it? Well, he could govern like a majority because there's going to be no, there's not going to be enough numbers to bring him down. They're like around 170 seats, give or take. Yeah.

And still needs votes though, does he not? He still needs votes. Still needs votes. Yeah, but you're correct. And from whom does he need the votes from? Could you I mean, not by specifically, like, could you name the parties that have to all vote him out? There's so it's the conservatives.

He need everybody, right? He needs Greens, Conservatives, NDP, block. They all have to align. Yeah. Correct. And one of them won't play ball. So because of that, you know, and the NDP, because of that, he could govern like he has a majority until the NDP sort out their financial situation and your leadership situation.

Until then, they're not going to want to go to an election. It doesn't make sense. So every time there's going to be a vote in which the NDP don't like it, but by saying no, it would trigger an election, they'll abstain. And so that's their way of showing displeasure. Yeah. You know better than me. I mean, you're the sort of politics guy. This is the way it's going to happen. And I can't see it any other way. It's wild that we ended up Like all this stuff. It seems like such a whirlwind the last two months, you know, the liberal party came from

The fucking down 20 points 25 points, whatever. Yeah, they were dead. Yeah all time Fucking dead. They're now governing again almost majority when's the by-election in alberta, by the way Uh, you're expecting that to happen in j, I guess, would be the earliest it could happen? I guess, and you know what, quickly to talk about what is going on there. So Poliev running, he was talking about the Alberta separatist movement. I'm not sure if you caught wind of his comments with that. I didn't.

So he is the leader of the conservative party, right? Not leader of the opposition leader of conservative party. So he has a very prominent position. And it's a national party. And so he's talking about he's against separation from Alberta. Alberta has to be part of a united Canada. And he has painted into a corner, he has to say this. But by saying that, though, it's going to probably make it a little harder for him to get elected in

that it's not gonna say that he's not going to it's that is a very strong conservative thing but he's probably gonna piss off some people that want to separate that are in Alberta also I have a sneaky suspicion that there's gonna be a movement to create another federal party that is spawned from Alberta it seems like Alberta spawns all these federal parties. Fuck the Reform Party, which then if you follow the lineage, became the current Conservative Party, started in Alberta because the West wanted in.

Now, the West is not going to be in because this guy is leader of... The West wants out is the new National Party. Yeah. And he's not going to... So, like, I think there's going to be another movement to start another federal party and it's just going to start from fucking Alberta and it's going to split the right. I don't know if it's going to happen so soon, but if this continually goes around, where do you have this discussion about Alberta separation and the conservative party not

being supportive of it? Why wouldn't there be another party that just spawns from it? It's difficult for me to think about a way forward for Poliev, whether he wins the by-election or not, whether he supports our separatism or not. I think, I just don't think he's a good politician and the conservatives until they realize that are just destined to lose. He's a good politician and the conservatives until they realize that are just destined to lose. He's a wrapped politician. Yeah.

That's the best way to describe him. He's a wrapped politician. Wrapped Pierre. There he is. We have the new cabinet that came out. Is it new? Is it new? A lot of the...

You know, Karina Gould is not in it, because that's one. That's a tough pill to swallow for her probably. Yeah. And so a lot of moving around of the decks, sorry, the chairs on the deck, but some new faces. Erskine Smith or whatever, the guy who was the housing minister also snubbed. You know, I'll probably say some unpopular things here,

but I'll say them anyway. A lot of criticism of Kearney for picking the same cast of characters, Gi-bo, Freeland, Jolie, and just like you said, moving deck chairs around on the Titanic, except it's not the Titanic now, that ship is full steam ahead. I get why people are upset because he did campaign on change and I think he views himself as a face of the franchise type prime minister, that he is the guy who is going to make the decisions. I think that's evidenced by the way he treated Guibert and LeBlanc talking about pipelines and energy, saying stuff like, you know, we're just not going to do a pipeline across the

nation anymore. The energy corridor could mean hydro lines, could mean all kinds of stuff. And he's basically saying in his interviews, including to Capello's a couple of days ago, we're open to pipelines. You know, these guys can say whatever they want. It's not a black and white answer. We're open to pipelines. Like, he doesn't care what these guys say. I don't think he actually cares what any of his ministers say.

And so for that reason, he's not really concerned about who they are. He's going to do whatever he wants anyways. And I think those guys will just fall in line if they're forced. And if they really, if they really find religion somehow and don't want to do these things, Gibo in particular, obviously is very, feels very strongly about the environmental stuff. If they don't want to do it, he'll kick them to the curb, I think, if need be. That's one element to the story. In defense of our Prime Minister, when people say he should have picked different cabinet ministers, my question would be who? He can only pick from the flowers in the bouquet, and he's got the same flowers that he had before, whether it's Fraser, Freeland.

Those are the people that the party wants and the party, those are the people that are most important to the party. And that's what people who voted for the party want. So would you have him pick against the base, pick against the cabinet, pick against the sort of best interests of the party? He can't go outside of the elected MPs for the cabinet positions. Technically, you can. Harper has done that. You know what I'm saying? Like if we're being honest here, pragmatically, he's not going to do that.

It's been done. It's been done in the last 15 years. But then he's not going to do it. And so, you know, he's picking from the bouquet that he had handed to him on election night. And if people don't like that, then my suggestion would be, if you wanna see different cabinet ministers, then vote for different MPs. And the country didn't.

So that's the end of the story. I think it's really simple as that. He is changing the direction of the party because he is the leader of the Liberal Party. And whichever way it's changing, it's not the exact same Set of priorities set set of goals that it was under definitely though Yeah, and because of that a lot of people are Upset that we're not gonna have a budget until fall of this year

But keep in mind he only Was elected to the leader of the Liberal Party, was it March? Yeah, it was March. February, March, yeah. Where do you come down on the budget? Do you think you should have a budget or no? Let's look at historical examples. Okay.

You have to look at when a election took place and after the election, there was a potential for a budget to come out. So budgets come out historically in April So the last time we had something like this Was in 2011 And the election was called i'm going to guess roughly february march and wrapped up

April may something like or april something like that the conservatives tabled a budget before parliament fell like or April something like that. The conservatives tabled a budget before Parliament fell and they tabled almost the exact same budget when they came back with the majority government. Same leadership Harper was the leader. Exactly that. Yeah that's the big difference. It was there was the change the only change there was they had a minority government versus a majority so the budget was very much the same. Now you have to go back way back in time to 1979 when Joe Clark came into power. He came into power I believe in February and the conservatives took that away from the liberals so you had a brand new government, brand new everything.

So that I would say is to comparable to here. Government is the same now as it was before but you have a new leader. So you have a new guy in charge and I will say the same thing would happen with Joe Clark in 1979. They didn't table their budget until October-ish, I believe, of that year. From February till October. It took them that long to do that. So they're going to do it this time around. They're going to do it in the fall, it looks like. It may seem like a long time, but historically when they change governments or change at least the guy at the top, there's not gonna be a budget right away.

Whatever was written in the budget up until there's a new leader, it was scrapped. They could keep pieces of it, but the budget is very important and a lot of details, a lot of fine details you got to put into it. And you can't do that right away. You can't rush it. important and you get a lot of details, a lot of fine details you got to put into it. Yeah. And you can't do that right away. You can't rush it. It's got just a lot of thought, a lot of consultation, a lot of bullshit. And so here you go.

It's going to be done in fall. It sucks, but this is the way it is. Okay. That's fine. I would say that the only thing I would argue against or use to argue against you is that Carney is a guy who said he had a clear plan and a clear idea of spending and budgeting and all that as part of his campaign. He's a former central banker and understands why it's so important to table a budget. He's a guy who has worked with the party for five years ish as an advisor, economic advisor.

You could argue he's really been the sort of brain behind liberal policy to this point, whether it's worked or not, different story, but he's familiar with the books, I would say. And I think that those two things are enough for me to argue that he should have released a budget. And he could have said something like, this is a budget that is very much in flux, but we want to give Canadians the transparency they voted for. And so here's what we're going to do in the next six months. We're going to leave part of this budget intact from the fall economic statement,

and we're going to make a change on this portfolio, that portfolio, this line item, that line item, whatever. The other thing I think he has to know is the budget is symbolic more than it's brass tax. He is already talking about spending a ton of money. So no one's going to be upset if he, if the country spends, you know, to the nth degree, that's what they voted for. But when you don't release a budget, it makes it look like you're hiding something and the country does care about that.

You're shaking your head. I think the country cares about that at least a little bit. No, so what happens, I think that the way it works is the department of finance goes to treasury board and Treasury Board releases funding and it gets allocated to each of the ministers, each of the departments based on what's written in the budget itself. And the last budget, the last leader, there was a lot to do with environmental, a lot to do with EVs. There may be a change from that. We had Honda, for example, put a pause on building out their new plant in Ontario. So maybe there may be a change in

the direction for say electric vehicle, which was a decent size of the budget. And you can't just continue on with what they had. The new guy, Otaku Okarni may have a different direction. We won't know until the budget is laid out and that's going to be really their, that's their platform. Right? I actually, I should be clear. Like I actually agree with you. I'm saying like devil's advocate. I would say there's reasons why you should have done it, but I actually agree with you as someone who I'm not like a technical expert on budgeting but like it doesn't bother me. They didn't release one honestly Well, you can they couldn't yeah, there was just no possibility to do it. Everything was rushed They had to rush to put in a leader can't believe they put in a leader that quickly But they did then immediately after that

They're in campaign mode for five weeks and then was it five with 37 days. Yeah, so their focus was primarily on the election sure there was still stuff to do with the Canada as a whole but really they were focused at the task at hand and the priorities were initially to get a new leader elect that and then after that finished the election and here we are and They're gonna have their few weeks before they Convene for the summer. Yeah I don't know

The optics don't look good But again going back to joe clark days like that's the only comparable I could use It seems like this is par for the course, right? I don't know. I don't know Yeah, I like it like you, you laid it out perfectly. There's precedent for this. You know, you can say what you want about the guy, but he's not done anything, I think, like out of line or broadly unpalatable as far as like Canadian elections are concerned.

Prime ministers are concerned, any of that stuff, to be honest with you. So- See Canada Post is gonna go on strike this Friday? I saw on Friday, yeah, who cares? Every time they go on strike, the Amazon Hydra grows another head, so they can do whatever they want,

but they're building a beast underneath themselves that's gonna be hard to tame. The last time it fucked me up with the strike, with getting some documentation that I was sorely needed Yeah, but it worked out fine in the end. It just delayed shit for me But my gosh after that I've only used Canada Post once and now once you use another service, you'll never go back to CP Well, the reason I used it one more time is just because proximity it's closer to home than other things Yeah, I just just I just had to use it.

But for the football for the football channel, I have a ball right now like in the in the in the lab there just drying out. It's going to be sent out this week. I'm going to use probably FedEx to do it. And I just think Canada Post like it's a pain to go to Shoppers Drug Mart and like the people behind the counter Shoppers Drug Mart don't know how to do certain things. They don't measure your box accurately. I had to get the girl to measure my box a second time like a week ago because she it

was like it was too much money. The shipping was like three or four dollars too much, which doesn't sound like a lot. But when the shipping is only 17 bucks, that's like 20 percent. So I said you got to measure this again. She missed it by like eight centimeters. Like she was off by so much. I guess maybe she just like dragged the other side of the tape measure or something,

but little stuff like that bothers me. This attention detail, I realized that Shoppers Drug Mart is not exactly Canada Post, but they are representing Canada Post at those branches. And that's how most people interact with the post office. Let's face it, it's either right at the door or at Shoppers Drug Mart. So.

Well, they're also trying to change their services. Now the door to door. Remember they're going to build houses on top of Canada posts last year. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I used to get door to door straight to my house, but then they put in those super boxes. I was one of the areas that got it. And I remember that, you know, it is what it is. I don't give a fuck but I remember when I was first being done I'm a friend that works at Canada Post and he delivers in Oakville in one of the more affluent areas of Oakville and he was saying to people were so Fucking pissed that they kept he was getting threats not himself But he's saying they were saying if you put that up, I'm gonna get my SUV whatever chain it up to that and just fucking

rip it off its its Anchors and it will never be set up people are just so fucking pissed but Whatever they're trying to phase out or these two talks don't want to phase out the door to delivery for you know, because they keep the they carry it but I like door to door we have door to door delivery for, you know, because they keep the. They can, but I like door to door. We have door to door where I am. And, uh, they want to do it more on the weekends, more than day to day. Well, I mean, at some point, this is not anything related to Bitcoin, but at some point, Canada post has to admit they have a problem with their, their

business plan, like you don't deliver on week on weekends, you don't have the fastest service, you don't have the fastest service, you don't have the cheapest service. You can talk about rural Ontario or rural parts of Canada all you want, but the fact of the matter is someone will take up that mantle because that mail has to get delivered. And I think those services that will take up the mantle also realize then that the government will pay any price. And so, you know, whether it's Amazon doing rural deliveries on your tax dollar or Canada Post rural deliveries on your tax dollar or Canada Post doing them on your tax dollar, doesn't make a difference except

that one is going to be way cheaper, unionized, faster, and more accountable. And it's not the guys in the red shirts. So these are things that you have to contend with if you're Canada Post. And I make that, you know, Hydra joke and jest, but it is true. The longer these guys go on strike, the more they force people to become Reliant and force exposure to other services. They may not have otherwise been exposed to, and it's hard to go back. You know, in this case, the grass is greener a lot of the time, um, whether it's like at the door pickup from FedEx and UPS, whether it's cheaper, um,

delivery services and fat, like it's, it's hard to compete with these guys. There's a reason U ups and FedEx became monsters at a time when arguably mail delivery and parcel delivery Took it took a drop right they dropped off Amazon though is the is the elephant in the room? They're gonna do whatever Canada Post does faster better and cheaper and Canada Post has to start thinking about what their plan is for the future. And it's not the long term either. It's like right now they guys are thinking about it.

They got an army of folks working for that. I got two more stories, but this show is getting long and a two swole. Let me pick one of them. Sure. You, you get to pick the got this. I shouldn't have talked about this with the refugee stuff, but more information about the refugees that Mike Campbell throughout there, or also the second story, this pamphlet about Maid, the the Maid thing is fucked for kids. It is. Yeah. So you think we could do both. Let's do both. Fuck it.

We'll go. We'll go to 140. The Maid story pisses me off. The thing is, I can't tell where that pamphlet came from. There's more than this. OK, go ahead. Go ahead. There's more than just that one thing. So the pamphlet, there's more to it. And some of it hasn't really made his rounds. It's a piece of the, it says one in 10 people will wait more than four months for counseling. I know, I know. The waiting period for me is only three months. God.

Please, you shave off one month If you want to off yourself, I don't need to laugh. It's unbelievable though. It's like just like tragic The whole thing is tragic. I don't even know the other one was a talking about they want to make made for potentially children's and teens And right now it's in a special committee for MPs and senators to discuss teens and right now it's in a special committee for MPs and senators to discuss about allowing minors to get access to this and this would remove the minimum age eligibility for getting access to made so I I don't know what to say about this it's sickening like what what kind of fucked up country assuming this is a like an official pamphlet advertising availability of made and not raising awareness about how dumb this is There's there's like no crime or no punishment that's severe enough for this level of of demonic behavior

It's truly embarrassing for the country if this is something that's coming from a hospital or from a health care provider All right last story My Campbell posted this and I thought it was really interesting. Love Mike. 2023 federal audit showed that 7,000 people who tried to come to Canada and applied were actually granted. They were red flagged by Canada border service agencies and other security agencies for stuff like espionage, war crimes, terrorism, but still half of them were able to come into Canada for some reason they were

they're here they're amongst us so it's 3,500 folks give or take were let in in 2023 presumably they're still here I don't know so war crimes espionage terrorism they're still here amongst us. Maybe you're delivering Amazon packages, who the fuck knows? But, right, this is why I, you know, GTFO, right? It's not right. It's all fucking part of it. It's not right.

Like these stories about like, again, not to, I hate doing this because like there are people in my life who say like, it's like, oh, you're being racist by talking about Indian crime and the Somalian immigrant crime and stuff like that. But I can only work with the stories that are out there. And there are, of course, white criminals, Chinese criminals. We've talked about them on the show.

We talked about money laundering last week. We've talked about God knows how many different races and ethnicities and religions of criminals over the last five years on this program. Tons, tons of it. Okay. We are equal opportunity commentators on the news, but it's hard for me to ignore that when every major metropolitan police force is tweeting out stories about recent crime, rings of crime, rashes of crime. There's a clear pandemic, an epidemic let's say, of new immigrants to Canada committing crimes. And some of the crimes are stuff like stolen cars, break and enters, we've seen guys robbing jewelry stores,

or is that group of kids in Grimsby last week or a couple weeks ago, robbing a jewelry store. But some of the crimes are worse. last week or a couple weeks ago robbing a jewelry store. But some of the crimes are worse. Some of the crimes are people delivering Amazon molesting women at the door. Some of the crimes are people delivering Amazon trying to pick up kids in their car. Some of the crimes are new immigrants to Canada taking photos of children at parks. There was a deleted post on the Kitchener subreddit about two months ago of photos of a handful of Indian guys probably in their 60s just standing around a bunch of kids

on the monkey bars, just standing under the monkey bars amidst a bunch of children. If that ever happens near my kid, there will be hell to pay. Like no one will believe. And Canadians, I think broadly speaking, are tired of this. And it's not just like you could say, Joey, when you say Canadians, it's code for white. You're retarded. It's Canadians who have been here for 30 years, okay, of all stripes, all religions, all races. It's Muslim Canadians, it's Catholic Canadians, it's Jewish Canadians, it's Chinese Canadians, African Canadians, Indian Canadians. We had a good thing going here up until, I don't know, like people say 2015. I don't know if that's fair or not.

But clearly that good thing is being shaken a bit. And for people to continue to just ignore this or pretend otherwise, like the story of the Palestinian protests in Toronto that forced an ambulance to stop and reroute on the way to an emergency. And I want to thank Bobby Hill on Discord, give some follow up to this story. He was a child inside. It's just like what is what is the rationale for not napalming that protest? When that happens, the Canadians can only stand for so long in defense of these people and their freedoms.

Right. I'm using freedoms loosely. What what what are we to do as Canadians? Are we just supposed to say like, hey man, I hope everything goes okay. Or are we supposed to stand up for something that we had as recently as a decade ago? Or are we supposed to put ourselves in harm's way to be vigilantes?

Or like, what are we supposed to do? What I'm not gonna do is stand by and do nothing, right? What I'm not gonna do is not talk about it on the show. What I'm not going to do is stand by and do nothing. What I'm not going to do is not talk about it on the show. What I'm not going to do is be afraid to get called a racist or a xenophobe or whatever for pointing out that, yeah, bringing in third world simpletons and pretending they're going to contribute to the economy when they're coming from places that don't respect women, they're sexually depraved, they don't understand the mores and methods and expectations of a modern society, a high trust society,

I'm not gonna pretend that bringing them over is a good idea, and neither should you. And if it works and we get what we're looking for here and we affect change in those systems, great. We'll have been rewarded for our efforts. But if it doesn't work, then at least you can say you tried. And that's about as far as any rational person should go. Once those things don't work,

you have to start thinking about leaving. And I think you and me talk about it all the time. People in the chat talk about it all the time on the Discord, there's a whole fucking channel for it now. There's only so much that sane people will tolerate before they go. And when all the same people have had enough, you can guess what kind of society you'll be left with. And I think that's, that's all I'll say.

That's it boys and gals. Good night. Good night. See you Wednesday. Me and Joe Barbudo talking about all the good things happening in Canada's economy right now. Got to be honest with you. It's a short list.

We'll talk about that and much more Wednesday night and we'll see you then. Don't be cock.
