The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - Bitcoin News With a Canadian Spin - Nate Erskine-Smith, Diaspora Politics and a Hard Lesson for Liberals | CBP 264 Pt 2

Episode Date: May 13, 2026

Saylor just broke Strategy's "NEVER SELL" Bitcoin rule. The $1.5B dividend math, the 11.5% yield, the Q1 -$12.5B net loss, and what it means for Canadian MSTR holders — explained.Michael Saylor told investors on Strategy's Q1 2026 earnings call that he will "probably sell some Bitcoin to pay a dividend, just to inoculate the market and send the message that we did it." Three days later he walked it back, saying the remark wasintended to "jam short-sellers and 'haters.'" Strategy holds 818,334 BTC at an average cost basis of $75,537. The annualized preferred dividend obligation is roughly $1.5 billion. Q1 net loss was $12.54 billion. Bitcoin briefly traded below $81,000 after the call.In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- The actual mechanism: buy with credit, let it appreciate, sell to fund preferreds- Why this isn't an MSTR "Ponzi" reveal — and why it kind of is- Sequans' 1,025 BTC sale, the $35.9M convertible-note pressure, and what "treasury reckoning" looks like in practice- Canada's first regulated CAD stablecoin: Tetra's CADD with Shopify and National Bank backing- Coinbase cuts 14% of staff for "AI-native pods" while the exchange goes down for an AWS chiller failure- Germany ends its 12-month Bitcoin tax exemption — €2B revenue target by 2027- The Netherlands prepares 36% tax on UNREALIZED Bitcoin gains by 2028- Bitcoin Core's first-ever memory-safety bug, CVE-2024-52911, quietly patched a year before public disclosure- Notable North: Alberta separation petition crosses 300k signatures, Honda walks from a $15B Ontario EV plant, Doug Ford sacks the Conestoga College board, Ottawa finally starts tracking which temporary residents have actually leftThe orange-pill takeaway: every "treasury company" model — Strategy, Sequans, the next wave — gets stress-tested when the dividends and debts come due in fiat. The companies that buy and never sell are betting that their cost of capital stayslower than Bitcoin's CAGR forever. Saylor just admitted that the bet has a release valve.

Damn, direct shot, direct shot. Listen, BTC Mentor, okay, sponsor Reid. If you are worried about your Bitcoin, because it's not as easy to pass down to your children, wife, whatever, is your Coinbase stock. Nathan and Ben over at Mentor can help you. Some other friends of ours over there too. Jesse Berger is there.

A few other people you will recognize that, you know, in a space where you're not supposed to trust anybody. There are very few people who have built a brand that is trustworthy. And these guys are all on that list. And so if you're thinking about getting serious about not only custody, but also stuff like inheritance planning, stuff like emergency wallets, stuff like, you know, all the coin kite videos that are four or five hours long that you don't want to watch, you just want someone to help you with it.

These guys got you back. We got a promo code in the description. Use it if you like. And I don't know, maybe a discount or something. And even if you don't, it's still a service that's worth checking out. Price of Bitcoin is lower now than it's been in the past. as MVP says all the time, you should be thinking like it's 10x

from where it is in terms of security. I can't re, I can't emphasize that enough, I should say. So think about this and go pay those guys a visit and use the code when you do so. There's lots to talk about. Do you want to talk about Nate? I want to talk about Nate's so bad.

We can talk about Nate. And the fact that he was trying to run in a Scarborough writing provincially and with aspirations that he is, formerly came from the federal liberals. And so he decided to... Former cabinet minister, Len. Don't forget.

Yes. Short lived, but cabinet minister all the same. And he wanted, he had aspirations to win a nomination in Scarborough to run as a liberal MPP and eventually try to run as the leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, which might have a chance to form provincial government in the next little while. It could be next election, two elections, three elections from now. But it seems like sooner or later, they'll form. government. Either way. So what happened was pretty funny for some people, not so funny for

other people, because Joey, we talked about this. I drove you home on Friday night and I talked about the ability to mobilize people for elections. There's a certain diaspora that's better at it than others for sure. We witnessed that. And the complaints by the Nate team about people not losing their licenses. He's officially challenging, by the way. It was a 19 or 18 vote spread, right? It was something that was really, so it wasn't really, it wasn't large to begin with.

So he has the ability to challenge it. It's just the sour grapes he had right after. And a lot of people are dunking on him because he was part of a party that helped, that issued a lot of temporary foreign workers status to come to Canada, come in, and who knows how many people in temporary status were able to vote for this. Like they said, they were talking about unable to verify documentation.

So, you know, it's just, and then what I found another thing interesting is that the documentation you're sending out to people to tell them who to vote for. It was in Bengali. Bengali, thank you. This isn't uncommon. I've seen this practice go on for decades. decades. I've seen, I recall seeing this way back when, with the Italian community, getting one side document in English and the other side in Italian. So,

uh, people got to get upset about that, but this is just, that's the way politics operates, unfortunately, unfortunately. So whatever, uh, it sucks for him for Nate, but you know what? He set this thing up, or at least he was part of the team that set it up. You know, we had, What did the population of Canada increased by? We're now what, it's 41 million, give or take? Minimum, yeah, yeah. So in the last four years, was it three, four million people came to Canada or last 10 years? One of the original debates we had on this show, you and I, was that I think the population of Canada is closer to 50 million.

Yes, you have said that. And I think they're just fucking lying about how many people are here. Number one, they have no idea what the true number is, but they know it's a lot higher. than 40. And anyone who lives in a big city knows it's higher than 40. Nate is at the risk of repeating, I had a tweet go viral. It's got like maybe 30, 200, 3,300 likes on it. Joey, there's a real time. Sorry, I didn't mean to know. Stats. Yeah. Take a look. There's actually a real time clock for population in Canada. I know. And I just like, I just saw it switch from one number to the, it says population changed since midnight. Yeah. We've looked at this on the show before. We've looked at this on the show

before. I love this. It's completely bogus. Do they expect anyone to believe this? It's so laughable. These guys, Nate, or this guy and Smith is the perfect example of the smarmy,

incompetent, highly educated, liberal politician. Perfect example. You know, talks himself in circles on this stupid podcast he's got, I know, you're thinking, Joey, you have a stupid podcast, too. You talk a lot. I get it. But I think if you ever watch

Nate's podcast. You'll agree with me that everything is so pre-packaged and full of shit that it's basically an impossible watch unless you're either watching it to hate it or watching it because you can't be convinced than anything he says is not true. And that's ultimately the trap he fell into on the weekend. Nate voted for expanding temporary foreign worker programs, expanding immigration. He's obviously in the Liberal Party, which is in bed with Mark Wiseman in the Century Initiative. He's been, begging for this outcome directly and indirectly for his entire term in politics. And to watch this happen while he spent the last, you know, few months, I guess, let's say,

maybe a little less than that, dressing like these people running ads in their language, going to their religious community groups, going to their kitchens, going to their gatherings, going to their holidays, taking pictures with them in community centers and school gyms and everywhere else. And guess what? They still voted for one of their own.

Relative unknown who owns a bunch of dominoes pizza joints, I think, in the next city over. Doesn't even live in Scarborough as far as I know. So what does this tell you about the aspirate politics? It tells you a few things I think

are pretty important. And then I'll get to another sort of signpost this tweet that I had. when you think about the aspera politics, there's a couple of important things to keep in mind, okay? The Westminster system, okay, the American Republic system, systems that require, quote-unquote, like traditional political, rational actors, okay, like the rational actors of the Hobbs era and that sort of thinking by the voting population, if they require that, then the assumption that makes the whole thing go is that each person is voting for their own self-interest.

They cannot be deputized by any greater allegiance when they go to the ballot box. It just doesn't, it can't happen for them because they vote always for themselves. The problem in diaspora politics, and you see this oftentimes in the third world, Muslim countries, countries in Africa as well, these guys vote as a. community block, not because they even think it's best for the community, but because the community has like a representative or a leader. And that leader in this case is, you know, this politician, there's certain community nodes around him. And those people decide who the community is going to support, who the community is going to back. And then people come to the ballot box with no other intention than to cast the vote of this community leader, right? That's the intention that they

have when they get there and they're doing it because, not because they think it's good for the community necessarily, but because the vote is a way to dispatch, like, carry out responsibility for that community. And when you see this happen over and over and over again, you can look at pictures of like the House of Commons between today and 10 years ago and then 20 years ago and then 30 years ago. And what do you see? You see communities where there's a significant foreign diaspora elect people of that same diaspora. That happens all the time. And what we've noticed in the last little while is that the parties that want to win those

ridings, they latch on to people of that diaspora. That's who they try and grab. They vote as a block. They turn out. They're organized, like Len was saying. And I think it works more often than it doesn't. It's probably going to get worse here than next little while. Now, I want to talk about this tweet I sent out.

I want to talk about this tweet I sent out. because I will tell you that I've had over the last few weeks a couple tweets with like a thousand plus likes, not bragging. But I want to point out that the flavor of those tweets has always been the same. It is anti-immigration. It is anti-politics or anti-immigrants in politics. And each time I am so surprised by the people who like those tweets and the follows I get. Do you know who started following me on the weekend on the back of that tweet?

No clue. Mark Andresen. Really? Yeah. He's not the only big name. He's probably the biggest. He's easily the biggest in my follower list now. But the reason these guys follow is because they are seeing it too, probably.

Whether it's him in the tech space or as a political actor in the United States. And there's others in Canada that I won't mention, though my follower list is public. I suppose you just go look. But you'll notice there that there's people. who are saying and thinking and doing the same things, but maybe don't want to throw themselves under the bus by posting a tweet like I did that could be viewed as like, you know, unnecessarily abrasive. But it is true that the reputation that that certain diaspora has is one that precedes it for

very good reason. And it's one that got Erskine Smith right in the ass right at the wrong time. People forgetting their driver's licenses, like Glenn said, showing up somewhere and not being able to prove their address to vote. 50% of the people at one table was Nate's claim in the press scrum after. He's challenging it because of course, like any

good liberal, there's no intellectual consistency between the things that he's not going to challenge it? No, no. The reason why he's challenging it is because it's so close. This is almost common practice when you have something that is so close. Then if there's a few votes that were just

thrown away or somebody was counted twice, it could tip the balance. Do you think it'll be overturned. No. Okay. To overturn it, they'd have to go in depth to find out. This is from what I understand. Maybe I'm wrong. But from what I understand, they have to figure out

that they counted it wrong. They're not going to determine if they count. That's correct. And I could be wrong, but they're not going to determine if they are eligible voters. Of course not. They live in the riding or whatever. So that level of scrutiny, I don't believe, is going to be done in a recount.

So just because 18, 19 vote difference, it's common practice to do some sort of review or ask for review and how to look at. I think Nate Erskine Smith should look good and hard in the mirror. And, you know, he should know deep down inside that he was his own undoing and he will spend the rest of his political career irrelevant. That writing is lost. The writing is a liberal writing. He had a video with the fucking prime minister land.

Lost in a different. Well, you know what I'm saying. But the point is that the liberals are used to being able to just run this game and all the writings and be kingmakers. And this great account that I started following Canadian Cavalier or something made a great point that if you look at the two candidates, I think we said this on CBP, who were the candidates removed from the liberal leadership race before Mark Carney was both from the same diaspora. And, you know, it's just almost too obvious that these guys realized that Mark Carney

might be like the last stand for, you know, white Laurentian politicians in the liberal party. It may be the case that Pollyev is the last stand for white Laurentians in the conservative party. In the NDP, you know, we've already seen one, one Indian leader. And this is not, by the way, although it may seem that way, an attack on the Indian diaspora in Canada, though they are perpetrating scams like this all over the fucking place, and I will not entertain anyone who says that that's not true.

The point is that diaspora will vote on it. They just operate differently. They don't view you the same way as you view them. They will take advantage of the liberal foundation of your society to embed themselves and then fucking crush you with tribal thinking. and tribal action.

I can't stress this enough. These guys are learning the hard way and it's going to be a difficult thing to learn, but they're going to learn it more and more as the years go on. I swear, man, you will see this in every community in which there is a vast way.

And that's what I've been talking about for long enough is that this is something that's going to grow. And the way that you remember things is going to be changed drastically. What could you do? You could sit there and complain or you can do something about it. I'm going to live in the camp.

I'm going to do something about at least my fate. I think that I have a little bit of control of my surroundings and I'm going to do whatever I can to improve those. If anyone wants to do the same, all the more power to you. But if you want to try to change things internally and try to fight it, I also encourage you to do that as well. I don't think that there's a hope in hell for this to be fixed, but I can be proven wrong.

And I'll be happy to be proven wrong. but at least I'll be living some words no more small we gotta get going because I gotta do this census I don't know about you but I got this fucking census thing I gotta get this I've been looking at this are you gonna do it are you gonna do it oh I'm gonna

have to do it man of course I don't even know my mind is anymore I whatever you gotta you get you get if they give me a hard time I'll just tell them look I got a kid I don't know where she put it it's fucking madhouse here they'll just keep asking you again and again don't they come one of my friends and her mother

were census canvassers a few years ago going door to door and asking about census completion, I believe. Yep, they will keep asking. Yeah, yeah. In terms of getting fine, from what I understand it, there, it's very, I don't think it will happen, but you run the risk, just like anything.

It's like speeding. You run a risk of getting forward to do that. But for anyone that hasn't yet done it, it's funny because I was at my mom's place this past weekend, you know, it was Mother's Day, so we wanted to go visit. And she was looking at this thing. And she said, I need some fucking help with this. We decided to help her out.

And she was laughing. She's like, you know, a few years ago, we never had these fucking questions. It was just like, you know, how old are you? What level of education? Your male female, shit like that. Now they're asking about your sexual orientation. Have you seen the questions? I haven't looked now.

I don't know. Isn't it online only? My wife said it was online only. It's online, yeah. And Joey, if you start doing it, you're going to, you will be amazed. I mean, how much worse is going to be than what we talk about every week? I mean, I'm not, nothing will surprise me. You will be fucking amazed at what they're asking.

Yeah. Just in terms of extracting information from you, they are doing it to the endth degree. And that's why we got to wrap this up soon because it's going to take me at least three, four hours to finish my senses. Fuck. Any crypto questions on there? No. No, that's good, I guess. Conestoga?

I want to talk about them that Doug Ford decided to get rid of the entire board over there because... It's overdue. These people should all be in fucking jail. There's a case to be made that Connoisseau College single-handedly contributed more than any person or institution to destroying the Canadian consensus on immigration. Look, look at one of the questions. Literally asking what time you leave for work in a morning. Come on, really? Wow, on the census, that's crazy.

Polly, what did you tell him? Pauli, what did you tell him? I roll out of bed. I don't work. I'm at my computer streaming on OF by 707 a.m. I don't work at all. Fuck, man. It's changed.

Anyways, back to Conestoga. Yeah, they're saying there's evidence of serious financial and governance mismanagement. Shocking, shocking. Ford plays a role in that too. His government plays a role in that too. You can't tell me they're not. showing up to sweep things under the rug. Of course they fucking are. I don't trust any of these people.

I have never trusted these people less than I do now. John Tibbitts, John Tibbitts. He's going to make a bank. I bet you they try and claw back some of the money he's earned. Apparently, the bonus money specifically. Millions. This guy's going to walk away. Do you remember when they fired the Hydro 1 guy, I think it was,

whoever it was, there was something to do with energy. I'm pretty sure it was. That was under Kathleen Wynn, I think, right? No, that was a Ford thing. That was one of his election thing. And people, yeah, it's fired this motherfucker because he's making so much money and electricity prices are going up. Why should he?

The guy was paid a severance package that was so handsome that he laughed when he fucking was fired. He was happy to have gotten fired. He made way more doing that. He's living in an island somewhere probably. What a time to be alive. I can tell you what he's not to me. He's not snorting fucking cocaine in Barry because a Barry North Collegiate Institute's

school, they were given a pamphlet called safer snorting. I'm sure if you saw this. It was distributed by representatives of the Canadian Mental Health Association. And it was during a... Cam H? Are you serious? And it was during a lunch hour event for Mental Health Week. And they were offering advice on safer practices such as...

This is beauty. Some good ones here. Using personal equipment that have markings on them like tape or colored paper to avoid a transition of Hep B or Hep C. So you have a personalized straw or two. You should, I mean, you should bring your own, yeah, your own tool to the party for sure. Oh, there's more. There's some of the things in this pamphlet, crushing substances into fine powder to minimize nasal damage.

Use saline spray, vitamin E oil, or water-based lubricants to soothe nasal passages. And, of course, there's signs. of stimulant overdose and instructions on using naloxone. Naloxone. It's a single shot. It's a single shot like resurrecting agent basically that gives an ambulance his time to show up. Pretty crazy. It's like it actually works really well.

But yeah, basically everywhere has this now. Emerson Pub where I used to frequent after work on Fridays with our buddy Manny Minero has naloxone in the bathroom, I think. So you're going to see it. You're going to see it more and more. That's by the way, like right next to McMaster University for people who are stalking me or want to. Not exactly a place known for drug overdoses, but it's there anyway. So there you go.

It's funny, you know, that we heard for so many years that we had to buy plastic bags and we were allowed to use plastic straws. Meanwhile, they're giving them out to guys who were just like snorting lines at parties, I guess. Yeah, see, it's one thing if it's given out by a recreational, Sensor like a drug is. So another thing, if you buy it for yourself to, you know, to want to drink some water or something, that's, that's terrible. But you know what? The drug dude, here you go.

There's some plastic paraphernalia. I've got to write your name on it. And grind it up really fucking fine so you don't fuck up your nose. The city of Toronto staff, they're in the process of opening up more than a thousand water assets in parks because in the past, they've had issues with hot weather, although I don't that's just going to happen this year. Plus, we have FIFA coming up this year. We'll talk about FIFA in a sec.

And so of this, we're going to improving washrooms, water fountain, bottle filling stations across the city. And they will do this through the month of June. So the city, these numbers are wonderful. The city is invested $132 million

to upgrade 125 park. washrooms and it's going to be converting them from seasonal to year round use what what do the math see to year round okay yes yeah want to make sure this thing is open year round change I guess bums could go at any time right because so but if you do the math 132 million 125 park washrooms that is 1.055 6 million per washroom yeah joey the last time you did any washroom upgrades did it cost you a hair over a million dollars to do it. I know inflation is fucking running rampant, but

a million per bathroom. I'm Italian. I don't pay a lot for construction work. I do the demo myself and from there we see who's available my list of uncles who I can call for some help. Are they asking for a cool million to

no? No, we never have the fingers out of the question, yeah. The solid gold toilets that could be installed for this amount of money. I'm thinking of like There's two kinds of washrooms really you see in those centers, right? I know in Hamilton here when I've gone to play football Saturday morning, most schools now have like a sort of communal change room, washroom type thing. But in terms of like seasonality, the only thing you'd have to change were the two or three toilets.

And then there's other parks and stuff that have like single washrooms where there's maybe one urinal, one can. And that's another, you know, two toilet operation. So where's the million go? That's the crazy thing. Do you remember years ago we talked about this story? Maybe we didn't talk about it. It could have actually before we did the podcast.

But the guy in some Ontario town who was frequently wandering through the woods with his dog and noticed there was like a sort of a stream, like runoff water had eroded the same part of the path over and over and over again. He decided to go to Home Depot and built like a three plank bridge over this path so that no one would step in it. And it cost them like, I think he said like 200 bucks or something like that. Yeah, the city came in. They ripped it down. And then when they built it, it was like $50,000 on the, like that's what these guys do, man. That's what they fucking do.

You don't think that's UBI. That's what UBI looks like, not checks in the mail. It's paying guys $50,000 for $700 worth of work. That's what UVI is. You know that Toronto too, they're going on a blitz in the next month to clean up the city because we're about one month away from. They're going to do some in to help. get some ideas

we have the FIFA World Cup starting in a month right and they want to make sure that the city looks clean and I'm not sure what they're going to do with the homeless camps but they might relocate them they've done it in I'm not saying Toronto's done in the past but other cities in Canada have done in the past this is reminding me a little bit

of and we made fun of San Francisco when they cleaned up the fucking city when they brought it in chairman she she yeah it was for she and they made it nice and pretty. When you do this for guests and not the people that live there, it's a fucking show.

It's not real. And you know, it's doubly bad because the people that live there have to suffer for this for the remaining time than the other 11 months of the year that FIFA is not running. And they're the ones that are paying for it. So they pay for it to be clean for people to come in and enjoy it.

But the other time of the year, it's a disaster. The taxpayers don't get to enjoy it, just to visit. No, they're dealing with fucking potholes to the rest of the year. But the Potholes is a dream. The stuff they actually deal with is probably way worse. Somebody is potholes, you can lose a car in these days. Tellis, talk about that quickly. They're going to be using AI to hide the accents of their customer service agents.

Oh, man. Oh, man. I'm guessing Coinbase could be doing the same too. Tellis has begun to use accent softening AI technology and they're going to use to make their customers. Has anyone told the bugle guys about this? They're on their corner. Fucking right. Yeah.

What are they doing? There's going to be a little more competition over there. So they're going to make use of customer service agents that sound like their native speakers from Canada. So no more are you going to get Paul with a heavy, strong accent from... I mean, everyone knows you're in Sri Lanka. Like, aren't you kind of admitting that every agent is Indian if you just are telling us publicly

that this is something you're doing? It's not the accent I'm tired of. It's the fucking... It's the stuff between the ears, man. You know? Like, I don't care about the accent. You and me are Italian. Anywhere I go in my family, I'm dealing with heavy accents.

But the people I'm talking to are bright. Like, I don't want to talk to... Stupid people from the third world who tell me the same shit off a script that they, by the way, they can't read. If they can't read it, they can't say the words. No one's going to be able to fool me with an accent disguising app or whatever. It doesn't work. Maybe not you, Joy. Now, imagine this technology being used by scammers.

Right now the scammers are calling in without filter. This is bad for my Hamilton-Brampton man. Like thought flow. Yeah, it's not good. If the Brampton man can pull off the phone scam, it's going to affect my win percentage. It can be. there's so many good stories this week Alberta separation

The group Stay Free Alberta has formally submitted Over 300,000 signatures to elections Alberta And legally they needed only 178,000 signatures That were required And now it's going to cause The provincial government To consider a referendum on separation

They have to do it They have to do it And we recently had an Edmonton judge Order a temporary pause on the verification process while considering a legal challenge from a coalition of First Nations who argue that any move forward

towards separation violates existing treaty rights. Also, elections... The only people Canadians like less than the separatists are the First Nations people right now. That's for sure. There's no doubt about that.

So, Elections, Alberta is also checking... They're also checking the submission against something called seated names to ensure the list wasn't fabricated. So you can do this if you're separating but not if you're casting ballots for my election I guess. How about that?

That's pretty fucking cool. So they say this could Independence vote could happen as early as October 2026. And with that hot off the press we have the discussion that foreign involvement like Russia is playing a role in the separation

movement. Now who says that? We talk about this in Access to Vizi. RCMP says no. Well, I know our other intelligence agency CTV says yes, but the

RCMP says no. The CCP has been named, I guess, by RCMP, that they have influenced or tried to influence our strong armed people in the House of Commons. That seems to be

legitimate, but the Russian stuff in Alberta separation, it's funny. You know, they're pushing one narrative and hiding another one. And the new study was released by DisInfo Watch and the University of Regina. And it's, if anyone's wondering what the title of the report is, it's called National Unity Under Threat. It's hilarious, man. And they say there's a lot of campaigns out there that are Kremlin aligned that are being done between 2005 and 2006, including this separation for us.

Is it safe to say that any time someone says something is Kremlin aligned, they're full of shit? Like, anytime they use the word Kremlin, they're just full of shit. Kremlin, compromise. Like, these people are just so full of shit and retarded that they should be just disregarded entirely. But instead, they get picked up by the national press because, hey, why not? Fuck it. Burlington police came out this past week saying auto theft has spiked in Burlington. and they say they're seeing 20 vehicle thefts

attempts per week and Toyotas are the most frequently targeted vehicles and they say that thieves are getting more brazen out there and they give us some suggestions on how we could protect our cars. They say park our car in a lock garage whenever possible. Okay. Another one you're saying, I'm going to quote this one.

I love it. Block your vehicle. in with a second lower value car. So get that shitbox. They should have that blockading your fucking your $20,000 car. Get the $5,000 car to block that one.

Oh my God. I say use steering locks. Consider using a kill switch. Anyways, anything but name the actual problem. They don't literally do anything except name the actual. But whatever.

It's to be expected. Until, listen, we'll have to wait until the Burlington police bust the theft ring and it's all sings and poors and like,

like you just, you can't make it up. It happens over and over again. And now it is better than the Peel regional police putting out that video about whether or not it's legal to drive and flip-blops

and having to watch the comments. You're supposed to be a part two of that. I haven't seen it. It was part two. It is, you are allowed to drive and bear feed and flip-lops. The other part that came out today

from them, again, comments off is, you know, where is it, or illegal to do U-turns. Anyway, let's get out of here. We got to do the Twan,

the Twan, Brampton Man. I can't fucking leave these. I thought you wanted to get out here at 830. I got to, but I just can't. The Honda EV plan, I'm not going to touch. There's a couple of beauties.

Let's talk about one. We talked in a past about thieves stealing shit in California, like stop signs and stuff like that. In BC. Oh my God. I saw this story. They elevated the status over of BC because some areas were hit with a telecommunications blackout because copper was stolen. And thieves broke into fiber lines, stealing cables which impacted TELIS users in northern sections of the province.

15 hours was the outage in some areas. Imagine needing the ability to call 911 because you have to do it and being shut up because copper. thieves. It's unknown how much copper they stole, but I could tell you over to past year, copper's up 35%. So it's there. It's available. You can make a buck and bank stealing it. I'm going to say, do it. But man, it's unguarded. You could do it. If you have the right trauma in your background, you won't get deported. You won't get arrested. I was going to say knowledge because you're kind of getting the shit that I mean, everything is everything's got to be kind of going in your favor, but it's getting easier and easier to get away with it.

So good news from the government in that now they're going to be tracking which temporary residents have left Canada. Getting started on this important initiative. Yeah, about 15 million people too late. No, no, it gets better, Joey. This, you know, on the surface, okay, it's a little bit like it gets even better. They brought in a fuckload of people, right? And obviously you're starting this now.

It's the best thing of all, it's a pilot project, Joey. a fucking pilot project. Nice. So there are 600,000 people that came to Canada in the past 5 to 10 years who have their status expired. They're probably still here.

And immigration officials, this is the pilot project, this is what they're doing. Immigration officials have been instructed to get in touch with these people who have their status expiring soon and they will be confirming their departure and they will be encouraging them to leave

to the best of my knowledge, this is the fucking pilot project. They're calling up people, sir or ma'am, your status will be expiring soon. I'm encouraging you to get out of Canada. And when you do, please let us know. Tell us, yeah.

That is the extent of it, Joey. It's not they're tracking everybody leaving or everybody is left. It's just these people that have their status expiring soon that they're telling them, guys, you got to go. that's what it is.

They will have spent 100x more on a Rivecan than they ever spent on this program by the time it wraps up. Mark my words. I think it's time to transition to Brampton versus Hamilton Man. Twan, our guy, 256, Heat, has been dumb enough to sponsor this part of the show for almost a year now. We love you, Twan. But I can't believe you're doing this. Len and I went to eat at Twan's house the other night and he made us some steaks salad. You know what's good?

Twan's fries. They're very good. like his little skinny frets there. And we got to look at some of the stuff coming down the pipe at 256 heat. This stuff is nuts. Okay. If you think the minor you have at your house right now is good, I promise you that when this stuff debuts,

I think is he going to debut at the meetup coming, the two meetups coming on? I hope so. Those units, they look like they're ready to be shown to the public. At the very least, he's going to talk about it. somewhere publicly in the next little while, maybe on this show for all we know, you're going to shit when you see

what he's got coming. I don't say that often. I'm not trying to hype him up because, you know, we get a cut of what you buy. I'm telling you that when you see this thing, okay, your pee-p is going to move. And if that's not enough to get you to buy the minor,

don't forget that it also heats the room, the house, the pool, the greenhouse, whatever, on top of the sats. go to 256heat.com talk to Twan, get something, get a discount.

You'd be glad you did. Okay, so we got two stories. One is a Brampton man. One is a Hamilton man. You've got to figure out which is which. They're good ones. Okay. The first one we have

using lawnmower while impaired huge leads to charges. Nice. For prohibited driver. police are reminding Ontario residents that impaired driving rules extend to lawnmowers and not just passenger vehicles and we had an incident just this past week.

This appeal regional police tweet, another PO regional police tweet with the comments off. I'm not saying which police is saying it, but the police are saying that officers were in the area and on Thursday around 730 when they spotted a person riding a ride on lawnmower. And the police say that conditions were foggy with reduced visibility. And the man was operating a lawnmower tractor without wearing any reflective clothing.

And impaired driving investigation led to charges for this guy, including operations while impaired. Alcohol was in play here. So this dude was just riding down the street, drunk as fuck. Good for him. I got to give him credit. You had to make for me to be. But, you know, don't hop in a call. car up by the riding lawn more.

It's the lesser of two evil. True, true. That's one story. The second story, police charge man accused of secretly recording people for 18 years. They say they arrested a man. He was recording people in, quote, private settings for nearly two decades.

And detectives say the investigation began after video recordings involving the accused were discovered by a witness. And after a review of the material, detectives believed the recordings were captured using a hidden camera in spaces where, quote, individuals had a reasonable expectation of privacy. Damn. So investigators found recording believed to have been created

between 2007 and 2025. And this dude was charged with three counts of voyeurism. And he said that they had many secret cameras throughout the place and yeah. Only three counts, 18 years? Not very good at this or what? Maybe they just piled on all. I don't know what the fuck it is,

but either way, those are the two stories. You have the dude riding the lawnmower drunk at night versus the guy recording people, I guess, I'm reading between the lines, using the washroom and you've been doing this for fucking 18 years. One is a Hamilton, one is a Brampton, who is who, what's your rationale?

Most of the time, I would say that the Brampton man is the voyeur. And the reason I say that is because, I mean, we've all seen the videos and seen the stories over the years. The Brantanman has a penchant for being a pest of a sexual nature. But the Brantan man, that's like a 2007 vintage, is not really the same as the Brampton Man that I'm talking about. But the Brampton Man of the 07 vintage is the guy who's like having a beer with you watching the Leafs game, right? Like he's not, he's a, you know, he's a guy with you as a Canadian. Which makes me think that the, the Brampton Man is the guy on the tractor.

But the tractor thing is even, yeah, the lawnmower thing is even weird because I've seen the videos of these guys trying to cut the grass and shovel snow. And like, they just don't, they don't seem to understand the tools of it. It's not an easy one. This is a tough one. This is a tough one. But I, but I really don't think, I don't think. I don't think a 2007 or 2007 because that means the guy, I mean, assuming the guy is of legal age in 07. He's 40.

He's 40. This is my age almost. So he's like the same vintage as me. You got to figure he was here a long time ago. So if he was a Brampton man. Yeah. 40 years old was the guy recording for 18 years. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I got that. The other guy was, I believe, 25. I could be wrong in the age. So I think. Yeah. I think I'm going to go with my. instincts here and to prove the people who say that I'm, you know, racist or anti-Indian.

I'm going to prove him wrong here. I think that I think it's actually the Brampton man who's on the mower because the older Brampton man doesn't do the voyeurism. He's not that kind of guy. He's an honorable man. So I'm going to go, he just had a couple too many beers and had to go to his buddy's house and figured this would be a good way to do it and got caught. You are 100% right. Love it. Definitely the writing a lawnmower dude, he was writing a John Deere, by the way. Yeah. And yeah Yeah No name on the guy

No name Damn The other guy Let's see if I get the The Hamilton dude The 40 year old Oh yeah I see the pictures

Ah fuck you know Oh here it is Jason Machado Of Hamilton Macchato Oh excuse me Latino Huh

Jason Machado of Hamilton Filming Other thing I was going to ask you That I didn't ask Because I didn't want to drag it out But if you have a second How did the witness discover videos of themselves?

It doesn't say. And that's the one thing people were asking when I read this in Twitter is the question is how did people discover it? Where was it? Because they're not giving a lot of information. Yeah. But assuming 18 years went by when they'd be asking like, hey, if you think this guy recorded you? Yeah. Or if you've done anything with this guy and his line of business.

you may want to just reach out to the police. So yeah, good job. You picked it. I'm doing good at this. I've honed my... We should have done the polymarket. Remember somebody's to open up that polymarket? It might still be there.

I have no idea of it's still there. Somebody can make bank on that. We can do it. Yeah, thin book on that site. It don't matter. We can still make it. I'm going to record on Thursday night with Mike. I'm going to record Friday with the other mic.

Sometime this week, my interview with Tom from last people come out too. He messaged me a little while ago. So look for that as well. And that's all we got, friends and enemies. We'll see you next time. See you later.
