Okay, quick BTC mentor, reminder. The world is getting wild, okay? The government is going to start age-verifying you. They want your money. They want your identity. They want all kinds of stuff. And Ben and Nathan and the team over there are pretty much the only people that will help you that we trust to figure out a way to custody of your Bitcoin, protect you from home invasions, protect you from inheritance issues, all these things. And on top of that, it's white love.

So it's not just call once, get a solution and a PDF and you're done. It's call once and you're with these guys. It's relationship until you decide that it's not, which is excellent. So go there. There's a promo code in the description. I think you get a couple bucks off. I'm not sure to be honest with you, but it doesn't matter. It's one of the services that Len and I are excited to partner with and I think are really, really, really strong.

And Oscar, in your chat there, I see Sovereign Sessions. Yeah, Ben is going to start the Sovereign Sessions channel in August, which is going to be actually I don't even know if I told you about that or if you know about that. He's starting a new channel where he's going to be doing basically like sovereign tech stack stuff. I've seen him post about this on X. So yeah, and he actually, the channel is open.

I think he posted a link to it. But I don't know if there's any videos. Not until August. But I think he said today actually the first video is putting graphene on a phone. If you don't want to wait for that video, we have a video about that on our channel. Did I do that?

I'm pretty sure you did. and years and years ago. Yeah, you were ahead of the curve. Simple. I run out on my phone. That's right. You were ahead of the curve. So anyway, not to take any shine off Ben there.

But yeah, all this stuff is going on in sovereign sessions and beats CEMATs. I told you with that. Okay. So what do you want to talk? You lead this one because do you want to do just, uh, the AI, AI companies. I want to talk about the AI strategy and the AI company stake. So we released this grand document the other day.

The, the AI strong, Canada strong, AI. AI for all. AI, which stands for actually indigenous. We have this document where everyone has talked about this, but I'll mention it for people who are like, you know, American or not paying attention to Canadian stories. Our government is completely rudderless. We are, you know, up sea, up, up, what do you call it, up the river, up the creek without a paddle. That's us right now. And we're trying our best to keep up with the progress going on all over the world in terms of like AI especially, but also energy. this other stuff and we just keep getting hamstrung by the same stupid fucking special interest

groups, whether it's Aboriginal tribes or other, you know, quote unquote, disadvantaged groups that are really just like scamming and lying and, you know, defrauding people of their tax money. Those are my words, not lens. The problem is that we continue to try and like push through these stupid policies that really make nothing better. It just makes us look so fucking dumb on the world stage. And this AI document is a great example. I think the term GPU is mentioned in this like, you know, 50 page, 30 page, whatever document. I think it's mentioned five times. I think data center is mentioned like 13 times.

And the word indigenous is mentioned 50 something times, I think. There's stuff in there about making sure that indigenous values are carried out and that Canadian, you know, societal values are imposed and all this stuff. This is such a waste of time and money. And to make it worse, the government is saying now that, they want to take a stake in Canadian AI companies. I would just ask like two or three questions, right? What AI companies are you talking about?

Because we don't have any unless like, are they still, are we still riding their research in motion train? For those of you born after 1995, you may not even know what research of motion is. You know, is like, are they still riding the rim train? Are they going to claim that like the University of Waterloo might be able to put something together or that one of the other Canadian tech schools

might be able to like cobble, cobble the pieces of smoldering rubble from all these other failed experiments and put together in the eye company. Like, what is the plan? Okay, tell me, what is it? So there's investment. It's a two-tiered investment structure

they're trying to do. So the one is the Canadian tech growth fund. That's $500 million. And the other is the Canada Strong Fund. That's the $25 billion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a big boy. Yeah.

So the 500 million, they say that's for flexible, growth capital. They say for mid-sized AI companies, and the government is going to be able to get minority positions in that. But what constitutes as a mid-sized AI company, I don't know. I guess this needs to be defined. And how many are out there you mentioned? I don't know how many there are. But the second one, at $25 billion, that is for AI firms that look like they're going to be huge on a global scale and that they require larger institutional scale equity investments. But again, with this comes with equity that has to be given as a result. So right now, Canadian companies, they're relying on foreign cloud platforms to help train

their AI models. They want it to get away from that, especially with what's going on, the political game that's being played between Canada, US, and other countries out there. You can see that this is more of a political issue that they want to do and they want to try to get away from U.S. I can understand that, at least, you know, in theory. So the strategy here is they wanted to use $700 million to existing compute access fund. And this is, this now brings up the total of this to a billion dollars that's going to be to build out sovereign, Canadian-controlled, cloud computing and data center infrastructure.

Oh, my God. And the Canadian government is hoping to act as a strategic act. anchor customers. They're going to go out. They're going to buy and deploy Canadian AI solutions and use this for their public sector.

What does this mean? What does any of that mean? It means that they're going to try to implement whatever AI strategies, whatever AI system out there into their public sector and it's going to enable them to the same time boost

the productivity and revenue from the country. Sorry, from the company. So you have a product that could be rolled out that they could use for maybe issuing passports or giving visas to Indians, whatever the fuck it may be, they're going to implement that. So that company that built that out,

well, the company is going to give up a little bit of equity, but now have a long-chum strategy of giving revenue because the government is going to be using this program. They say they're going to roll this out in the next seven years. 2034 is when the investment. That's the goal for the AI sovereignty. There's no news that if any art is going to be exchanged

in this whole because you got you got the big guy over there he may want some art the guy that's under you know he's manning the portfolio

he may have access to SM art we don't fucking know but this is essentially in a nutshell there's going to be from what I could tell some companies

are going to make bank that's as far as I'm going to go I mean what this is I see people in the chat money sink money laundering Chinese AI like yeah

I happen to agree, where are we going to get any of the things we just talked about? Compute. Who's selling us the H-100s or whatever, those giant, you know, inference GPUs from Nvidia are called? Who's selling us that? No one's selling us that. And I'll just also note that 2034 is way too long for any of this. Like, you should have done this two years ago. And now it's going to take you seven years. Is this going to look like the Canada's Strong Housing Program where they do the announcement, in 2034 in front of a fake AI data center?

Is that the plan? The real problem is it's like a tree. And also before you say anything, there's been two attempts in Canada to put data centers in already. And both of them were voted down by first municipal governments, then provincial interest. Nimbism. And it's fine.

Yeah. People, they just won't allow it. So like, where is all this stuff going to happen? That's without including the tribes, like I always say, like the true elite level. stoppers of progress. Once you get these guys involved, you're just never going to get anything built and you're going to be on the hook for another $10 billion a year

in support payments or whatever the fuck these guys get. If you take a step back and you look at this through a different lens, Canada should be a excellent place to build out data center. Yes. Tell me why. Tell people why. One, we have an abundant of energy and you could even say clean energy Yeah. Because we have hydroelectric, you have nuclear, you have so many different options that could deem to be clean and that could be used to power these data centers.

Now, the second thing with data centers, that's actually three things. The second of three things is location. You don't want to have a data center in your backyard or adjacent to your backyard. I get that. They're loud. They create excess heat that could potentially impact your area there. I get that. So you want to put this far away.

Canada has a lot of faraway land. that we can use. And with that faraway land, the third thing is these things generate tons of heat. Canada, especially the further north you go, you get this natural cooling that you could use. With very little effort, it will just be cooling these chips down.

And you're not like you're dealing with in southwest United States where it's always hot. Yeah. Here, you know, for a good chunk of the year, it's always cold. So Canada has the ability to be a very attractive place to build these things out. And on top of that, there's a stability, the political stability that comes along with it. It's not like you're building this in Argentina that could be nationalized the next day.

I guess it's going to be nationalized. We're talking about it. But I'm talking theoretically, right? Like, we're not going to be at war with our neighbors. We're not going to be invaded. the government's not going to fall and it will be a military coup. There's shit here that you look at it. It's like, man, Canada has a lot of checkboxes that could be ticked.

So theoretically we could do this, but it's just doing it now. It should have been done before. Yeah. Like I said, it's building the tree type of thing. The best time to plant the tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today. And I guess they're trying to do it today. Done right.

It could be done okay. But I think there's question marks. this will be done right, if the money will be spent properly, be used properly. And the ownership of these companies, like what happens with them? Like, real question marks, we've owned, what that, Petro Canada in the past? Yeah, got rid of that. Got rid of that sale. The goal of that was to make it cheaper for getting gas because it was going to be nationalized.

So never happened. Like, so these ideas are great, but the implication, so implementation of these ideas, it's challenging to say to least. Yeah, the execution's hard because they're sort of at the day, the governing party, whoever it is, both parties have made mistakes over the last 20 years, 30 years maybe, to be more specific. They both make mistakes based on like short-term political gains, right? So whether it's selling petrol Canada, whether it's selling the 407,

whether it's privatizing the liquor store, beer store, whatever, these guys have talked about over the last of a while, they do it because they want to plug a hole in their balance sheet, not knowing that the ship, is still going to sink anyways because they're not getting their fiscal house in order. They can't help themselves. In terms of the companies that are, you know, I guess being built, about to be built, you know, the hope is that somebody builds them or comes here and invest.

The problem is that what you're seeing is not just a nationalization of companies. It's a nationalization of dollars. What do I mean by that? I mean that pension boards are going to be forced to invest in these companies, the same way they're going to be forced to invest in the Canadian companies that are, you know, the ones from the Canada Strong Fund or the, the quote-unquote sovereign wealth scam. The money that's going to be used to prop these companies up is not, you know,

quote, quote, quote, the government's. The government's money is your money. And it's your pension and it's your benefits. And it's like they're going to use your money to try and make this work. And I got news for you. It's not going to work. This is the beginning of the end, I think, even for the most ardent supporters.

of Canada's sort of socialized system of supports. You know, it was healthcare and retirements for a long time. There's some value there. It's social supports for people who need money. There's some value there. There needs support. There's some value there. But it can't be for companies, too.

It can't be for AI startups that are going to take seven years to get off the ground in an environment, in a silo where the changes month to month are huge, man. These AI models are competing in a way The frontier models are competing in a way That there's not competition anywhere else in the world right now Nowhere We have gotten this so wrong And instead have spent our time

On DEI, global warming, LGBTQ, whatever Those are decisions Okay, we voted for that as a country I can't say we didn't ask for that We did But now there's consequences to pay for this Like a friend of the show, Michael Campbell always says,

okay, you got what you voted for and now you're, you're on the other side of it. And it turns out that there wasn't enough time and money to go around for everything. And you put this stuff on the back burner or not even on any burners. And now you're trying to play catch up. Well, everyone else made good decisions over that 10 year, 20 year period. And they're way ahead of you. It's not, AI is not the only place we see this.

We see it in manufacturing. We see it in, you know, government services. We see it in a lot of different silos and fears that we've fallen behind. We see it in statistics and data around happiness, you know, the best places in the world to live, universities. I think 90% of Canadian universities are worse in terms of their global standing than they were five years ago or 10 years ago, right? I think that that data just came out a little while back. There's consequences for everything. And as the saying goes, there are no solutions, there are only tradeoffs. And so while it is

true that every major Canadian city now has a pride parade, the problem is that the unemployment in all those cities is much higher. The quality of life. life in those cities is much lower and now we're behind on maybe the most important frontier tech revolution of the last 200 years. I hope you're happy with your choice. You know, you made you get. Now you got to lay in it. Yeah. If you're not United States or. That's right. That's right. A lot of countries are like that. I totally agree. And one of the reasons those countries are aligned on this is because they wanted to manifest that these things will become the most important things. But the United States, for all their mistakes, didn't falter. They more or less

remain focused on what actually mattered, regardless of food and power, even Biden. It's different. Like if you're Germany, for instance, when they were closing nuclear plants and they had a shortage of power, they couldn't divert energy towards data centers, which chew up a lot of electricity. Yeah. So they didn't, that's the difference between, say, Canada and that country in Germany, where Canada does have the ability to build out and use. It's more egregious for us.

Yeah, it's more agree with us. Right. Right. Right. And the natural cooling aspect, the fact that we have a lot of. Lots of land where you can build this and it's not going to piss people off because it annoys and the heated crates. But, you know, another thing to look at, too, is the 2034, that's a seven-year-ish, eight-year-ish timeline, right? With that, you're crossing potentially three different elections.

If you're calculating this right, you're going to have one in three years, another one. Yeah, three different federal elections. It could be much more than that. And if there's a change in government, the next guys that come in, they could potentially say, we don't like this. We're going to kibosh it.

And it's done. Right? Like, I like long-term thinking. Really do like that. We can't do it. Politically, we can't do it here. Because election cycles killer. Yeah, we can't do it.

Yeah. That's too bad because without that long-term thinking, we're in the situation we are in right now. Yeah. And because the next guy's going to come in and say, you know what, it's got to divert the money elsewhere and it's, you know, whatever. They can do what they do and that's the way it is.

When Prime Minister Avi Lewis comes in, yeah, he's going to for sure near the AI output AI buildout. Quickly, the Bank of Canada decided to hold their rates and they're sticking of that. So no change there. Good for them. Tiff and the boys. This guy, Tiff Maclum, is a fucking retard.

He says the dumbest shit in the world about he's like constantly trying to jawbone that he's going to raise rates while the fucking country falls into recession. Is this guy fucking dumb? Does he think we're dumb? Carolyn Rogers is no longer even pretending to not make faces when they do their press conferences,

which is hilarious. Like everyone knows this guy's a retard. Every commentator is like, I don't know what Mackleman thinks he's doing. Like he thinks he's like the governor of the economy. Like he tells us how fast we can go on the highway. You know, he wants to make sure we don't overdo it. is threatening us with giving us a speeding ticket. The economy's doing too good.

Like, who is this guy kidding? What is going on with this guy? December 2021. Obviously, obviously. And totally rug pulled people. He's an idiot. He's an idiot. Maybe not an idiot.

Something may be different. It can only be worse. It can only be worse. But rug pulled people that listened to him and the finance minister at the time. and decided, you know what, I'm going to go with a variable mortgage because these two people that are in charge of these levers, they're not going to raise rates. And sure enough, rates went up. And people got wrecked in the process. It's too bad.

You listen to the wrong people. Yeah. You listen to the people that were in charge. I will tell you right now, they're going to be between a rock and a hard place like not many other governments are because the energy costs are going to soar here over the next 60 days. Watch how expensive everything gets. And it's going to trigger inflation. In the states, their inflation reporting comes out on Wednesday's CPI report. They're looking at a forehandle on inflation for the first time, I think, two years.

So, you know, what does that look like for us? It's going to look worse for us. And our bank has been steadfast and saying, you know, if inflation gets hot, we have to raise rates. The thing is that retard at the helm doesn't understand or at least thinks that we don't understand that it's a supply-induced inflation shock. How does raising rates help with that, especially as employment falls lower and lower, We're in a recession. GDP per capita is shrinking.

Fuck, I know. I love it. I love that. I absolutely love the water carrying. If Rosie Barton spent as much time carrying water at the gym as she did carrying water for the party, she'd be a lot better off health-wise. But instead, she does all her best carrying seated in front of the camera.

It's embarrassing and shameful what this country has become. It's like when you go to a doctor. Or like a lady goes, the doctor and gets checked out, doctor says, you know, you're not pregnant, but you're technically pregnant. You're technically pregnant. Yeah. What the fuck? You either are or you're not. It's crazy.

The same time that the PBO just put out their sort of most recent data dump that the deficit has a chance to double from 36 billion to 72 billion over the next like five years. Like the whole thing is unraveling everywhere you look.

And, you know, what I'm told that I have to. Oh, fuck, of course. Did you see that they're saying that they're predicting the annual deficits are going to be $4.6 billion per year over the next five years? That's hired in what the Minister of Finance was saying.

Crazy. Shocker. Who could have seen who's the finance minister? Champagne. Yeah. I don't know. It's getting to be, everything getting to be more expensive even just managing the budget. Let's everything is getting.

The government account. Canada asked a company called Phoenix Strategy Perspective to conduct a poll on their behalf. And this was done in November to December of last year. And the information was just published last month and people are digesting it. The gist of the poll was to get an idea of how Canadians view immigration. And the results are exactly not surprising at all. 2,500 Canadians were randomly telephoned. And the result, 47% of a report.

Respondents said that there were too many immigrants that are coming to Canada. That's boomers too. 38% saying that it's just the right amount. 30%. That's crazy. There's still a lot of people. So what's odd is when they give the information, the question in a different way. So if they say that there's 380,000 people coming to Canada for permanent residents,

they're saying, well, that's too much. Their opinion hasn't changed. But when they frame it in a way that says, that's only 1% of the overall Canadian population. Well, the people that are saying there's too many immigrants coming to Canada, that number dropped to 39%. Yeah. So when you frame it, it's just 1% increase in Canada per year.

People are more on board with that. They don't understand. They don't understand what that looks like. They have a hard time understanding population density and how all these people are settling in the same like four cities. It's lack of job, housing shortage. Yeah, they don't get it because they're boomers, because they're boomers. Like that's all there's too.

health care to usual shit, right? They won't get it. They won't get it until they go to a hospital with some like acute issue and they can't get in. And then the doctor who sees him doesn't speak English and the people in the waiting room are fucking screaming in some foreign language and like you don't, you're not going to get it until it's too late. I hate to say that because like obviously my parents are boomers.

But I think if you ask them, they'd be like, yeah, it's not as bad as everyone says. Like I just think you're insulated from it for now. Here's another beauty from this survey. And take this for what you want. I'm just reading what is this. So the curveball, 58% agreed with the sentiment that accepting newcomers

from many different cultures strengthens Canada's culture. 58% retarded. It's like so obviously, it's just obviously not the case. Multiculturalism is a failed experiment. It's never worked anywhere. There's one culture

that will always try and subjugate the others. either through cultural dominance or something worse. And this happens all over the world. This has happened since time in memoriam. And the idea that we're somehow going to get like, you know, a perfect tossed, what is it, tossed salad? I can't believe we use that term, but I'm pretty sure we do, right? Or we use melting pot over here, I forget.

I think melting pots in the States, we're tossed salad. Everyone's like a tomato or a piece of lettuce, whatever. The problem is that tomatoes are opening their own schools and teaching other little kid tomatoes that everyone else is an individual. infidel and needs to be killed. You can't have that in the tomato schools, okay? But if we keep letting in tomatoes and giving tomatoes funding for tomato schools, the tomatoes will eventually gain political power and find ways to get rid of the lettuce and the cucumbers

and the onions, okay? This is not a matter of, you know, it's not a hypothesis that I have. I'll be back, I've got to make a fucking salad. Yeah, it's demonstrable throughout history. And people always say the same dumb shit to me on the internet and in person. And well, I don't know anyone who's had this problem. Well, I don't know anyone who's, you know, my neighbors are from this, my neighbors are tomatoes and they never try to kill me or whatever. And I just say like, that's because there's not enough tomatoes yet.

But at about 10% tomatoes, you will find that they try and eradicate the rest of the vegetables. At about 10% tomatoes, you'll find the government becomes unworkable and the infrastructure fails over time. You don't want, you can't get to 10% tomatoes. There are not, there are not enough moderate tomatoes. to stop the extreme tomatoes from taking over the salad. Yeah, but at least the cricket team or the soccer team gets an improvement. Don't even get me start. That's not even the tomatoes.

I'm not even talking about them in the tomatoes. That's a whole other vegetable probably. Then you have the nonviolent, just sort of incompetent types, right? The broccoli types. Like these people are just like making things worse without actually trying to do anything with the power that they're inheriting from the growth. Like, it's just crazy this is going on. And I'll just add one more thing that I, also a thing that I hear from people, when I tell

them these stories about, you know, whether it's the cricket team or the trucking scams or the liberal election for leadership in Ontario, they always say, oh, it's just one anecdote. Like, it's just anecdotal. I got some fucking news for you, retard. The plural version of the word anecdote is data. Okay. So when you have enough anecdotes, what you have is actually a data set.

You can look at all these occurrences and say there is a pattern here among the broccoli and the tomatoes. And we have to start addressing the number of tomatoes and broccoli in the salad. Or we're not going to have a salad for much longer. People don't get it. They don't get it. And it's fucking insane. This is going on. I like the passion.

We need people like this to keep fighting the good fight. Yeah. Put me in the mayor's office. This guy. Mohammed Harcotte. Oh, here we go. You knew exactly how to just keep. this fire burning. Okay, go ahead.

I stoke this fucking thing. He'd been stoke for five fucking years. No, they're the show. You got to start a little flame and at the fucking the end is raging inferno. And this guy's from Algeria. It came to Canada back in 1995 with a fake Saudi passport. And he made a claim for asylum. And he was saying because of political issues back home.

And actually, even before he came here, he was spending time working as an aid agency in Pakistan. Now, keep in mind the timeframe. Okay. Mid-90s. 95, yeah. He was in Pakistan. So from there, he came to Canada, and he became a gas station attendant.

So his refugee claimant was denied, and the federal court, they put a pause on his removal because the decision to deport him, it was unreasonable. So that's cool exactly what happened here. Back in December 2002, he was arrested under something called a security certificate. Keep in mind December 2002. Just a year earlier change. It's my important stuff. World Trade Center collapse.

The security certificate was executed. The World Trade Center collapse. That's one way to put it. Yeah. We're trying to figure out why. But either way, the security certificate was executed. And what that did was allow Canadian officials to detain him. And it also allows the ability to deport non-citizen suspected of being threats to national security.

CIS at the time alleged that Harkat was an agent for Al-Qaeda. Remember he spent a good time around in Pakistan. They said that he run a guest house for Ford Mujahideen fighters. I must have but that's the word that I remember hearing. Anyways, they said he had an active membership in terrorist networks linked to Osama bin Laden.

And he denies any of this saying it's all bullshit and has done nothing with terrorism. Back in 2010, federal court reviewed the security certificate and ruled there was reasonable grounds to use that and believe that Harkat posed a security threat. He then decided, you know what, I'll take this to the Supreme Court of Canada, and they upheld the security certificate system being used here. So 2018, immigration officials formally ruled that he should not remain in Canada due to the nature of severity of acts committed.

He challenged saying that if he were deported, he'd be risking torture, imprisonment, or even death. Who the fuck cares? So this all leads now to the recent federal court decision. Federal court justice, John Norris, ruled that the 2018 deportation order was deeply flawed. He ruled that the government's conclusion. and he he ruled that

there was they were not complicit in the acts of terrorism and there was not enough reasonable support of actual evidence to show that he was actually a terrorism

so this was based on speculation unfounded assumptions and other bullshit and rather than hard facts that were recorded so once again his case is being sent back to immigration

I can't believe this the dude has been here for 31 years 32 years, yeah. And wasn't already to leave, just, and he's here. It's just an interesting case, nonetheless, living with us all. Reminder that, uh, I think we gave a bunch of money to a terrorist under Trudeau, right? What was that, what was that story?

Oh, wasn't even him, wasn't even Harper two? Like, there was even a couple of guys. Was it two of them? Yeah, both of them did it? It was around in 2016, Omar or something, right? Yeah, and there was one, but someone in the chat can tell me, I'm not going to look it up during the show, but like we, we have a history of like, not only aiding and abetting, but like giving a bunch of money to terrorists.

And then some, it was like, it was like $20 million or something. And he opened, didn't he open like a chocolate factory or something? Omar Kadar? That's the guy. And then I'm pretty, that was under Harper. I think that all started under Harper. That's what it's kind of carried over. It's just, it was a fucking disaster.

Insane. Insane. Like I mean, like, a fucking a lot of me. He bought Bitcoin. He bought 22 million Bitcoin. Shit. Crazy, man. This country loves just making the wrong decisions.

Our judges are like some of the worst ever to live. Here's a good one. A story about criminal tourism. Oh, Jason in the chat saying Omar Khadar killed a Marine. Is that? That was a, yeah. And he was a child soldier at the crime. I think that's what it was.

And yeah. It's been so long so there. Man, that is a tough pill to swallow. Holy shit. So criminal tourism is going on in Canada. And this has all been, like, they're looking into this with the police have something called Project Jet Setters. I just saw this video of them looking into it, Len.

They're looking into it. They're looking into it. They certainly are. I would say there may be one E away from really classifying this correctly. This was unveiled. on June 5th and a highly organized network of quote unquote criminal tourists that were, they're working their craft in the GTA and people, they come to Canada legally with the intent to commit high profit crimes and then head back home.

It's been, it's like me dropping into a GTA 6 server. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm calling it a day. There's just saying, you know, upwards of $3 million in confirmed losses. 46 people have been arrested, and another 164 suspects have been identified in their warrants out for their arrest. So these crimes include stealing jewelry.

So shit like this, we talked about stories in the past, suspect would approach somebody like in a public setting or go to their doorstep. They use deception tactics like talking nicely. Give a hug in the end and then boom, the necklace is stolen from around their neck. So that's, you know, they're also doing fake accidents to defraud criminal, sorry, to defraud. insurance companies and exporting stolen car shit like that people behind this

gypsies yeah that's so that's they're here right up that's all that is doing their thing the scourge of Europe they're now here doing their thing I don't know why they would come here because the weather is fucking shit

because we're stupid six seven eight months because we're still garbage the weather but anyway they come here legally yeah yeah you know they have the ability to do that how do they get in like what is the it's TFW LMIA no no it's like what is it

the same if you were going to go to to try travel to France. Yeah. You can just go there. They stamp your passport. You're there. Yeah. Yeah.

Right. So there are visa exempt countries that you're in. If they come from, if they have a passport from a Czech Republic or whatever. Yeah. They just come in and hang out for a bit. Yeah. Commit the crime and then take TTYL. Yeah.

Yeah. Man, I have no sympathy for this. There's a great meme floating around. This will go over your head because you're too old and not connected to pop culture. But the singer Duolipa, who's like objectively hot. There's a great meme floating. around that like if if duolipa looks hot to you then you're lacking in like ancestral memories because if you had the proper like defense mechanisms baked into your psyche when you see duelipa all you would

think is that her her brothers are going to steal your livestock while she's distracting you with her looks and she kind of looks like a bit of a gypsy so when you said this story I'm like yeah it's the do a leap of brawl. You had some girl at your door while the brothers they're like taking your car taking your necklace whatever.

There's a beauty stories too. Remember the videos we used to talk about? Like we did a few Brampton Hamilton man stories about distraction thefts right in stores and it's always like these babushka looking

you know ladies who are fucking screaming and their hands are flailing and there's two of them there and before you know your watch is gone. Shocker. Shocker. You worked at a pawn shop Are they now only letting in like one customer at a time or something?

I don't know. I don't know what the pawn shop scene is like these days. But I would imagine that they're considering it. I would say they're probably, they're definitely probably profiling people based on their appearance. Like why would you not? The story you did was it was a watch dealer, like a high-end watch dealer. I went to, yeah, the place I bought my watch.

Yeah, it was like appointment only one person at that time. Yes. Yes. Okay. That's, yeah. That's just. It is what it is. They're locking shampoo.

Why take the chance, right? And by the way, the other thing is not, it's not necessarily even just like we want to protect our merchandise. When I found out that the place was one person at a time appointment only, maybe you want to go there more. It's like a better experience, right? You don't have to worry about riffraff. You see these like people's jewelers videos in the mall of youth gangs ripping off watch cabinets while some third world import who's supposed to be a security guard stands by and watches them, right? Does nothing. I know.

But the point is the point is that the experience, the scene is one that. burns into your mind. So you'd rather go to a place that, you know. So many. Yeah. This beauty story from the Globe of Mail. The title. How beauty can it be?

Shaking his head. Here we go. Air conditioning may kill you the drawbacks of over adapting to a burning world. All right. So the article, they don't touch upon this all that much, but they say, I mean, if you go into this topic, you'll see the idea that air conditioners. is contributing to global warming. Yeah.

Because it's being powered by fossil fuels, plus the coolant, the CFCs, whatever, it's bad for the environment. Does your air conditioner still use CFCs? They use something else. HFCs, I believe, now.

It's halo. I know halo carbons are like, like, I don't think a lot of modern, maybe I'm wrong about that. I'm not sure. But anyway, yeah. Either way, like,

they say, but then further more in the article, they talk about the change, in temperature from going from air condition to regular. They talk about in Africa, there's far less deaths to heat, even though it's hotter over in Africa versus European countries. And they say it's because they don't have access to air conditioners and you get used to the one temperature.

The idea behind this, now, the people that write this, I would love to know what they do with their house in the heat. What do you think? Cool it? What do you think? I would love to know also.

Also, for me, I have to burn natural gas to heat my house. And also, by the way, I use Tuan's heaters. I got to do that. When it gets cold, I got to, the people that write this article, do they fucking use natural gas to heat their homes or something similar? I'd love to know. It's trying to create a tiered society that you're forced to use bullshit. the creature comforts of this world will only be acceptable for the elite to use.

Yeah, totally. For people like you and me, we're just, we can see it. Oh, it would be wonderful. My God, I remember growing up, we never got an air conditioner in my house until I was 10. And, you know, we lived and everything, but I remember always going to the guy across the street. And every time I went to his house during the summertime,

It was fucking cold because he had air conditioner. I was like, this is amazing. You know, like, this is called progression, right? You have the ability to do so you could use technology to improve your lives. Fucking use it, right? Like, let's not buy into this fucking bullshit. If you do, I don't know. I'm not going to fucking do it.

The funniest thing is that there was an article recently about how many Europeans die as a result of heat over the summer. Like, do you know how many Europeans die every year? 175,000, I think. the number was. There's a decent amount, but I'd love to know how many people buy from the cold as well. I mean, probably a bunch. Probably a bunch. Like it's way more. It's way, way more. Yeah. Like, I don't understand why. It's the fucking problem. The point is, you actually just need like temperature control. Like, it's one of the, one of the hallmarks of modern life is not being subjected to the most extreme conditions of your environment. Like, why would I? I just love, you can imagine

in the Globe and Mail newsroom, people are complaining when it's anything, you know, less than fucking 65 degrees, anything more than 72 degrees, you know, they're filing HR complaints. Meanwhile, they're writing this kind of nonsense, this bullshit. The funniest thing about this is that if there was ever an indication that these people truly are retarded and detached from the realities of the real world, it would be this article. No one in the right mind would ever pay for this. No one in the right mind would ever approve this. No quality editorial board. And their work is completely valueless. The only reason they're able to publish this kind of nonsense is because because they don't have an economic calculation to make.

They just want to put out bullshit nonsense that the party wants to see floated as a trial balloon. Whether it's we might have to claw back seniors' benefits because we have to support vulnerable populations, or it's you shouldn't use your air conditioning because it might kill you. Instead, move to Africa where you'll live longer. Like, dumb as shit, you can think of. This is the type of discussion I expect from the next cop, cop 26. where we have all those private jets fly into whatever city that they have anointed to be the place that they're going to be meeting

that's what it reminds me in a way I'm not sure if you saw the Monaco Grand Prix took place this past weekend yeah and they were showing pictures of the water adjacent to Monaco and it was full of these mega yachts yeah super rich people that's the people that are saying you know you know you shouldn't fucking turn on your air conditioner but they have a fucking yacht that my house would fit 50 times in fucking one of those yachts. But I'm the guy that I can't fucking cool my house. But these guys are able to do everything possible to pollute.

You know, I'm thankful that allegedly, allegedly I drove without a catalytic converter for about 15 years. The car's long gone, so you can't fucking audit it. But allegedly, I'm fucking thankful I did it. And if I would do it again, I'd do it for the whole duration of the lifetime of that vehicle. I would have there for in the very beginning. I got better fuel economy, allegedly with no catalytic converter. Should we go to the Brampton Man versus Hamilton Man segment? Yeah.

Okay. We shall. Do the read, 256 heat. Yes. If you're looking to heat your home, an area of your home, a garage, a basement, whatever it may be. It's a 256 heat has you covered. I know it's not the right time to purchase these or think about these items, but the cold is coming in a not too distant future. What do you get with these units?

Well, you get the ability, like I said, to heat your area, but at the same time, mine for Bitcoin. coin. This is the hardest asset known to man. And with these units, you could collect sats on a daily. Twan would be able to hook you up, set you up, and you are off and running. Check them out. Use our or just tell them that we sent you. There's no promo code.

Is that correct, Joey? Yeah. Just tell them. Just tell them. Just tell them we sent you. Check them on. 256heat.com. Twan is the man. He's been doing this for quite some time. And there's some new iterations. Should be coming out in the not too distant future. This stuff looks really cool.

I want to get my hands in one of these. We will. We will. And you guys could too. Just send him a message. Okay, Brampton versus Hamilton. Here we go. Wilhelm once again provided these stories. Oh, okay. Crowdsourced again. What the hell. And so both of these stories are courtesy of him. Appreciate you for doing that. And I'm going to throw out the first story.

Now, you may think this is a slam dunk, but it could be a curveball. It could not be a curveball. We don't know. Anyways, seven Sikhs being held in Canada, accused of plot against India. A provincial court ordered that seven Sikhs charged with conspiring to commit violent crimes in India are going to be held for bail. And the Sikhs were arrested and charged with conspiring to commit indictable offenses. And they say that it's all related to back in the day when they planned or they bombed the Indian Parliament buildings. And they also tried to kidnap a child of a member of an Indian member of parliament. in order to force him to, well, you know, vote certain ways.

So this is all done, but unfortunately their plans were derailed. And they also tried to blow up in oil refinery in India. Anyways, these guys, they were all charged. One was trying to leave the Kennedy International Airport in New York and nabbed over there. Another guy was trying to get around to Montreal was nabbed over there. And yeah, that's basically the story. We got these bunch of guys, all Sikhs, arrested because of the area India stuff that's going on. And they're trying to conspired back home.

So that's story number one. Story number two, the Fed seized 2.1 million in illegal steroids. Federal authorities announced Monday that the seizure of 2.1 million in steroids shipped illegally from Canada, describing it as the largest such seizure in North American history. and Robert Cortesi, he's a special agent in charge with U.S. customs in Cincinnati, said that five Canadian businessmen were charged in this smuggling operation. And a couple of men were arrested on Friday. It's a tractor trailer loaded with steroids.

They say another man. So one man was driving the truck. Another guy was falling with the car. There was also four others. They were arrested in London by the RCMP. and yeah, agents where they led to a house over there, a pharmaceutical supply house,

and interesting stuff. They were trying to smuggle drugs. Stereids. Man, these are, this is tough. Versus the people trying to bomb the Indian parliament. It feels like this is a no-brainer. You're right.

It does feel like, but I will say that the Brampton Man, the Brampton Man, I think, would probably not be running steroids, right? It feels like the Brampton Man runs a lot of stuff. Most of the time it's like opiates or guns or other like obviously criminal like contraband. But if they were watching that Instagram where that guy is taking in and not working out and getting ripped. Maybe they're like, you know, this is a pretty good thing to take.

It is something they might try. I want to say that it makes a lot more sense to me to have the Indian guys, like the Brantan guy. The Indian guys are the Brampton men. Obviously, that was a slip there by me. But I mean, no, we're not going to pretend here. I think the Brampton guys are more likely to be committing the crime of like Indian, whatever, like territorial beefs.

But also those people are not going to be in Brampton, right? like Brampton's not where they would be they might be in a bigger city like Hamilton Um Is Hamilton even a bigger city than Brampton anymore? I might not be. I don't know what the population difference is. Yeah, I think it might be too.

I'm really, I'm at a loss with this one. This is a really good one. How were they smuggling the steroids in a truck? Yeah, it was a tractor trailer. Loaded with steroids. Another data point there. Tractor trailer trucking. That is in their blood.

I know. I know. So the guys who were trying to commit the, like the political crimes, one of them got nabbed in the States. Yeah. One was in Montreal. In New York. Another one was in New York.

Yeah. So another one was Nabden, Pearson. Pearson. Okay. I mean, where else are they going to be? They can't really go anywhere else. I don't know. Give me, give me the Brampton guys running the steroids and the Hamilton guys committing the crimes.

give me that. You know what? You're right, right. All right. That was really a craft shoot. That was a fucking hard one. You're throwing a dart on the wall. So we'll have.
