Yeah, I should mention BTC mentor. If you haven't signed up with them already, you ought to spend some time getting to learn privacy tools. I am positive that between BTC mentor and Sovereign Sessions, Ben's new thing. There'll be a lot of opportunities to develop your privacy stack. And then, of course, Mark and I working on ready.ca, which is set to launch a little bit of a media effort here in the next little while. These are things you going to need. Okay. I know this is supposed to be a BTC mentor review, but I'm going to put it in terms of

just building sovereignty. Okay. You are coming into a dangerous time now as a Canadian when it comes to how exposed you are to a rapidly changing landscape around what is legal, not legal, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And maybe most importantly,

how the authorities operate on the fringes of those laws, regulations, rules, and what it means for you as a net producer. If you're watching this show, you're not, you know, a brokey, wagey, chances are you're holding Bitcoin. developing skills, all these things that will net you, a pretty solid position in a rational society. We are not living in one of those anymore. What we're seeing instead are governments trying to clamp down on productivity, trying to clamp down on everything from earning money through rental

properties to transacting in Bitcoin anonymously and even in the global mail over the weekend going to the gym also in the crosshairs these days. BTC mentors a place you can go, use the promo code in our description. You get a discount, whatever. Sovereign sessions, Ben's new channel, ready.ca, and then of course here, where you can hear about all the things happening and starting to develop around you.

And we'll try and give you some perspective, try and give you some options, try and give you some ideas, but ultimately it's up to you to be sovereign. And if you choose to take all the opportunities afforded to you in the free media space, while it's still free, you'll be happy you did. So don't waste them.

I don't have much on this because this was a story that came out today and I have I was busy at work for the majority of the day and then came back home and then obviously dealt with family but Tim Hortons they have saw the light and either through some internal discussion or love it. They decided they're going to not use the temporary foreign worker program as much and they want to start hiring local individuals to try to fill the needs. It's funny that now there's people locally that could fill the jobs where previously they had to go abroad to do that. Is this maybe a knee-jerk reaction because there's going to be expansion into Canada from Dunkin' Donuts?

I don't know. We'll see. But I think that you probably have a lot more to say than I do because, like I say, this came out really late for me. So I didn't really dive too deep into it aside from this very superficial. look at it, but maybe you have something more that you could add to that I can. A couple of things we should talk about off the top to put this announcement into context. You mentioned a few of them. We'll try and drill down a bit. Tim Hortons has been making the case for a decade now that there are not enough Canadians

to fill the jobs that they require to run their businesses. And they've also made the case that the skills the Canadians have are not adequate for mixing coffee, putting donuts in the oven, blah, blah, blah, whatever else goes on, Tim Hortons. Tim Hortons, I still think, has some clout in Canadian circles because, let's face it, when people think about Canada, oftentimes, you know, how far as Tim Horton is down the list of cultural icons? It's Gretzky, you know, it's, I don't know, hockey.

Don Cherry, I doubt, but maybe. Kauai Leonard's 2019. 2020 season and, you know, Tim Hortons. So there's still some cultural clout there that they could take advantage of, but they've really squandered a lot of their, a lot of their goodwill through these TFW programs. What you should take away from this announcement really are two or three things, okay? One is that they're saying they're going to hire 10,000 local people. I mean, I don't know what that means. We're going to find out what they think about local people, I suppose, or what local people are over the next, you know, X number of months,

years, who knows, and scale back to use the TFW program. They're either doing that because the backlash has been so significant with Duncan opening up and people being tired of being served by third world villagers at their local Tim Horton's establishment, or they're being forced to do it by the tightening of TFW rules, which is also possible. And I don't know enough about that to comment either way. But the other thing, Len, if they're going to hire 10,000 kids, local people, whatever, I assume most of them are going to be kids, you know, 80 percenters, let's say, how many are working through TFWs all over the country?

Is it 100,000? 200,000? Like, what's the number? It's got to be huge. They've been taking jobs from Canadian kids and giving them to, like, scamming TFW recipient managers, whatever, for a decade. Ramped up, obviously, in 2020, I admit that, but a decade. And the idea that those kids now are the same kids who we hear all the time from the data

dogs don't want to go out and see their friends, don't have any interesting relationships, spend all their time on Netflix or watching porn, play video games too much. Like, that's, the effects of that on a society will compound over time. And you could really point to a kid who only, you know, will only come out of their shell through a job. If you can believe it, until I was like 20, probably, I was like very reserved, very quiet. And the thing that changed for me, I think more than anything else in my life, maybe except for lifting weights. But the other big thing that changed is I got this job at a pawn shop, new to you in Hamilton. where I had no choice but to like talk to people who just weren't like me all day long, right?

We saw people from all walks of life. That brought me out of my shell. Without that job, if that job was given to a TFW, I'd be a different person now, completely different. And, you know, I think back to like my job at Zellers and all these other kind of part-time gigs I had growing up, where you like are forced to come out of your shell, you're forced to say things off the cuff, say things to people you don't know, deal with difficult situations, deal with difficult situations, deal with difficult. people, deal with young people, old people. You know, like those things are formative for youth. But also they help support, you know, down the road things like family formation, things

like financial knowledge and, you know, competency, all these different things. And like, we gave these jobs to people who have no intention of assimilating to the culture had really no right to be here in the first place. And now don't want to leave. So are you telling me that these 10,000 TFWs who came here are suddenly just going to, what, they're going to get on an air India flight and head back to Bangalore? I doubt it. So what are they going to do? They're going to stay here, maybe take benefits, maybe scam, maybe commit crime, maybe drive Uber illegally, whatever.

And it's like, what benefit was this? I will not accept. I will not accept that we should just leave these people alone because they're not doing any harm or leave these people alone because they just want a better life. I don't fucking care. They came here knowing that this was a bit of a scam in 90% of cases, let's say, some huge number. And now when their contract expires, you're going to have that 90% plus the last 10%

refusing to leave. Protesting on the streets, good enough to work, good enough to stay. No, you're not. I'll speak directly to the camera. No, you're not. You have to go home. You have to. You've caused more harm to the country than good.

Maybe through no fault of your own. They're not going to. We have to find a way to get them out. I have to. I see in the U.S., by the way, they're starting to cut off welfare supports to certain immigrant groups, illegal immigrant groups, and these guys are shown up at the airport by the hundreds. Do you think that's going to happen here?

I don't know if it's going to happen here, but I will say that it is, it is not only doable, it's becoming politically expedient to do so. Now, the question is, can you, can you appease your business interests and your real estate interests and your corporate overlords by doing something like this. And lobbyists. It's going to be. There's a lot of factors. I'm not saying it's going to be a smooth ride.

We're not going on the auto bond here. But we're at least now thinking about moving that direction, which to me was completely unimaginable a year ago. But now you have the most obvious, you know, committer of these stupid TFW crimes, maybe next to Conostoga, I guess. But it was two years ago we had that Randy go out talking about they've strengthened the TFW program.

Now, I don't remember the specifics. Who's Randy? Who's Randy? One of the Randis, if you watched the House of Commons, then they used to make fun of it. Oh, God, I forgot about these guys. Yeah. Right. This was two years ago that they, so you're saying that a year ago, you wouldn't expect it, but it was two years ago,

I had 2024 that they made these sweeping changes to strengthen the whole program to make it harder for people to abuse it. It's just unfortunately it's like the cat has left the bag and well it's try capturing it again it's challenging because that cat is fucking

it's very slippery and it will hide somewhere and good luck. It just is what it is. I get what the goal what we'd all like to see happen but the reality of it ever coming to fruition in the United States is different because, well, you have a president over there that's on his last term, he don't give a shit, right?

So you think he'll just push it and, all right, and Carney won't do it, is what you're saying? I think he's got different priorities and different, I don't want to say agenda, but a different set of things he wants to achieve, and this isn't one of them. That's my guess. And maybe they want to try to ensure that this isn't going to be abused,

but in terms of putting personnel, setting aside manpower to get these people removed from Canada, that pilot project that was just put in place. Remember, they said they're going to be calling people that have permits expiring. I love that. That is what they're trying to do. And that is the thing that, that's the action that is being put forth. Is that something that's giving you confidence that things will change? If so, great, I've got a bridge to sell you.

but if you don't i'm in the same camp you are it's just it's unfortunate and whatever i don't want to bang a drum that i bang so many times yeah another one that kind of late poliev was saying that look there's going to be a referendum in alberta it looks like that's going to go ahead later this year unless something really stops it polio is saying that the conservative party canada is going to be campaigning for Alberta to remain in Canada. Yeah. Premier Smith saying the same thing today too. Crazy. Crazy. I didn't include her in the mix.

I've been saying that the Conservative Party of Canada was going to be doing this all long. And this is just, you know what? It's exactly the way I laid it out. With respect to Danielle Smith doing it, I'd have to digest that. But you know what? Try voting your way out. Right? For people that want to see this happen, who's going to be the people that going to represent you to want to do this type of thing on i don't know um it's i think it's

bitcoin alcaps is seeing in the chat too i'm pretty sure it's a referendum correct whether they're going to have a referendum right correct that's exactly what it is this is referenda to say do you want to go ahead with a proper referendum still it's the first step of many but in terms of who's going to want to champion this cause in terms of an elected official you got a few and far between. And in terms of conservative party members of Canada, it doesn't look like anybody's going to do that. And if they do, they're going to be bucking a trend and who knows if they're going to be

sitting is as an independent as a result. And in Alberta, we had two parties unite to become the United Conservative Party. The Wild Rose and the PC's over there. You're going to have another party that's going to come out. That's going to become one that is going to champion this cause. Maybe, but that takes time to get a the ground and so forth.

So the people that are elected, they don't want to see this happen. They don't want to see Alberta separate. And I get it. I understand why they're saying that. But this is what the reality of it. Again, you're going to vote your way out? No way, man. I don't think it's possible.

A lot of pressure on, on the country right now. I saw there was a pretty big turnout for Tyree and the, what does he call himself, his outfit there? I can't remember. the Canadian something, the remigration guys, the green guys. Pretty big turnout in Hamilton of all places over the weekend. weren't they in Vancouver for the Canuck games during playoff time? Were they there? I don't know.

Maybe we're talking about two different. This was like, no, these guys are like the remigration. This type Vancouver, Connecticut, Connecticut, Green guys. No, no, not them, not them. Those guys are fucking legendary. Yeah, that's an old school throwback. Old school, maybe like 15 years ago.

The remigration party, what do they call? The Canadian Commission, something like that, someone in the chat will know. They got a pretty big turnout in Hamilton and are having a conference here in August and charging, you know, of 200 bucks a ticket or something like that. The Dominion Society. Thank you, all caps. I see that in the chat. Then you have the separatists, guys like wrath on the sort of like most extreme side of separatism, talking about how they're going to the states and speaking with people in the Trump cabinet and people in the U.S. administration.

You may believe that or not believe it. I personally have some doubts about those claims, at least like as far. as the number of people and how high they are up on the chain that Jeffrey Rath is able to speak to. Then you have the media trying their best to call all these people crazy, which is just amplifying their message in a lot of ways. And then finally you have the leadership of the major political players, right? Whether it's Daniel Smith, who has this, you know, interview with Vasi Capellos, maybe from two days ago, I guess now or yesterday, about how she's going to vote to stay.

and she wants everyone else to vote to stay and she'll be campaigning for stay and all these different things. Now Pollyab, you're saying, is talking about staying. I think you're right. The conservative party will get in line with the common sort of understanding

of what Canadian independence should or shouldn't look like. The answer is that shouldn't be there. Shouldn't be an option. And so they're going to vote against that. I think, though, Len, Alberta is going to vote to have the referendum in October. They may go ahead and do that.

They're going to vote to have the referendum. And I'll tell you right now, if you think it's loud now on the separatist side, wait until October, November comes around. Because the amount of firepower that's been given to Albertans who want to separate and are on the fence has been pretty significant over even the last like four weeks. Everything from MOU's not coming to fruition to stupid shit about the tribal banned consultations to the CPP stealing from Canadians. you name it. There's a number of reasons why Albertan should be mad. They are funding their own demise at basically every turn. I think most reasonable people will see that.

And the thing that I think is going to be amplified a lot as a CPP, pensioners, they're looking at that and going, hey, I got 25 years to go. Is it better for me to go this direction and let the rest of the country, you know, beg for mercy, beg for support, beg for whatever? and start selling our oil to the states, blah, blah, blah, not have to worry about David Eby, not have to worry about any of the southern nonsense. So, you know, I would just note before maybe I pass back to you,

I wish this wasn't going on. My ideal situation is that Alberta is not looking to separate from Canada at even a 15% clip, okay? I think probably they're close to 35% if I had to guess who want to have a vote. And it's bad for the country. It's bad for unity. It makes us look bad internationally. And maybe most importantly, it's bad for the idea that we have to wake up our commodity sector.

Because Alberta now, you know, if Alberta industry thinks that there's any chance to get a referendum and get to separate, they'll fucking wait to go through these stupid $110 for, you know, a square foot of carbon or whatever the new tax is. They'll wait so they don't have to consult with some band leader who says they found anomalies or a spearhead. They'll wait and not have to worry about what Ottawa says or the PMO says or Ontario says about what their cut should be of Alberta oil sands revenues. They'll just wait. They'll wait it out. And the rest of the country will pay on the front end and the back end of a deal that lands Alberta any level of sovereignty. And then, of course, there is a wildcard, I think, that if they have a reference, referendum and the referendum to have the referendum wins, they pass, I think Donald Trump is going to start talking to Alberta like a sovereign.

And then what do you do? Like then you got a bigger problem on your hands. Then I'm not sure it matters, you know, what Ottawa does. It's really in God's hands at that point, you know? It's a weird situation. I wish we weren't in. But we have no one to blame but ourselves for the place we are now. I don't think this thing is going to happen any.

Like this whole separation thing will not be solved or will not be dealt with. in a timely manner. It's going to be dragged on for years. Even if they separate. Yeah, it'll be a mess. It'll be a long time. It'll be a mess.

I think that I'll be a very old man before this thing ever comes to fruition, if it ever does. So good luck to everybody involved. I understand the desire to get it done. Good luck. Good luck to all you guys. Yeah. Because you know what?

Like part of me is already gone. You know what I mean? Like it's, this whole thing is, I'm just, I'm done. Like, I can I just go to this morning. Every fucking day I drive, it's like, I get into like another close call. This day was just no exception.

And they just fucking drive me fucking bananas to see this fucking bullshit. And it's, you do that, a little piece of me, a little Canadian piece of me dies again. And eventually there's just nothing left of me that's Canadian. And that's just sad but true. Sad but true. That's just a sad reality. And just that motherfucker with the Mercedes, you know, you don't fucking. You can't impose your will on me because your car is way more expensive than mine.

And I'll be happy to smash into you. The King Edward statue, Toronto's Queen Park, Toronto's Queens Park. Absolutely crazy media stuff coming from this meeting, by the way. And this is being discussed. They want to relocate this statue to address colonial landscape. The city's, man, I can't even, it's hard for me this. Two S-L-G-B-T-Q-plus advisory committee. They also proposed renaming the park.

Why do they have an advisory committee? Like, why? Why do you know? Whatever, I guess, yeah. We should try for a CBP advisory committee coming up soon. Yeah, we should have one. And if anybody wants to apply for it, let us know we'll vex your application. and they want to move the statue, right?

This is a statue that came from India that was relocated to here to Canada. Anyways, they say by moving a statue here, it could open up the doors by freeing up space in the park for a new public pavilion, cafe kiosk, or maybe the better production of mature trees. So they're coming up with some ideas that may be rationale, some rational thinking as to why they want to move it. but the name change is interesting.

They have some suggestions for this one. They want to perhaps revert to indigenous place names. Yeah. The Anishinabhi tribe. Nishinaabe. I've heard so many fucking land acknowledgments that I know how that word is fucking pronounced. That's not good. I'm getting indoctrinated.

They're penetrating me by defenses. I'm still learning this game. So the Haddin Asani and the Huron-Wendit tribes are potential names. Or they say that, you know what, maybe renaming it to one of the natural environments, maybe Oak Park or something, right? I mean, that's an option. But another alternative, as suggested by the 2S-L-G-B-T-Q-plus community group, they say that they should have a shared indigenous and queer heritage.

Fucking cry. So they say they should have I'm trying not to say anything, but like what are you supposed to say? John, I am almost gone. Just their head's up.

Just almost gone. The indigenous name gardens, they can have pathways within the parks, sprinkling some 2SLGBTQ plus, and voila, you got something. I guess Queens Park doesn't do it, But you know what?

They're only, if they have queens, they could just chop. Just chop the, just chop the like bottom half of the end off, which is obviously symbolic as well. And you have Queers Park. Why don't they just do that? I just find the idea. Why didn't this guy pitch that? So 200K consulting. Dundas Square, young Dundas Square was renamed to the Sancova.

Is that right? Or Sancofa? Oh, that's like that. Yeah. So, yeah. Everything's being renamed. Joy, you live in the township of Dundas. Don't tell anyone.

Don't tell anyone. We're flying under the radar here. Soon that'll be San Kofa or Sancoffer. Township. Right? Just do it, right? Oh, my God. Like, how much?

So if you haven't seen the clip of the guy making these proposals, I recommend watching it because however bad you think it is, it's worse when you see the guy. and then I don't know like what am I supposed to say it's not going to get me like completely

like napalmed by the powers of the people I don't know I probably already said it but you know the next story is gonna fucking push you over yeah oh god

okay we'll talk about chinkozy Parkin Brampton and Victoria Day celebrations I saw this the videos of this are absolutely insane they had the there was

fireworks battles going on and families were costing caught in crossfires vehicles driving to drive the fuck away. A bunch of youth at Chakoozy Park. They had to close the park down by 7.40 p.m. And the entire park was shut down.

Who do we think it was? Who do we? I mean, what? Come on. Everyone's seen the videos. Well, they said to be arrested 13 individuals and they seized multiple replica firearms through this. Had to put out an announcement, right?

Fireworks are banned. We will arrest you if we see you setting off fireworks. Like, the Peele Regional Police have their work cut out for them. Were there any like second spirits shooting fireworks or was it actually like? It's all just, uh, I think it was all just regular, regular. Somebody that's actually like you can see they are in the flesh. They're in the flesh.

Yeah. So you can't. You can't actually arrest. That's the thing. People say that we're not, you know, keeping our criminals in jail hard when there's the second spirit involved. But, uh, these ones all first spirit. Fortunately, the videos this are nuts, by the way.

Uh, if you've seen the cell phone videos from on the ground, like, just a nightmare a nightmare i stand by my view okay that public parks if you just put a $20 a month price tag on public parks you'll solve so many problems i do you know another way to solve problems what if because they were shooting like fireworks to each other right yeah yeah just attach deodorant to those spider and they shoot you're true true would that solve problems that too i did see another story. I can't even laugh at that. I've seen, I've seen so many, I've seen so many stories that like, I'm just like so fatigued. I was in, I was in the park near my house today with my daughter after work just before we started recording BitCast. And I was saying to

my wife, like treasure every moment that you see the park like this. Because I honestly, like, you know, having shared videos with her over the last, you know, a few weeks of some of the fireworks, quote unquote festivities and the people who are just ruining these public spaces and neighborhoods for everyone there and then calling you, you know, xenophobic, racist, bigoted, whatever, as soon as you pointed out, you should know how long it's going to last. Every small town that doesn't have this problem is probably counting their blessings right now. And it, you know, it does feel like time has passed by my area and probably some others in the region, too, you know, where you just don't see these problems.

You can go to the park and, you know, let your dog off the leash. There's food trucks and the fireworks are calm and they're run by the city and there's, you know. But you're going to see more and more of this instead, I think. And, you know, it's interesting. We see signage in different languages for certain events and certain, like, targeting certain behaviors a lot of the times. We obviously, you know, recently saw videos. I won't even say of what, but, you know, there's like, you know, languages being spoken

by police officers who are Canadian, specifically from Ontario, I think, in the cases I'm thinking about, targeting certain groups and the languages they speak because they're targeting certain behaviors of those groups. Why not do it for this too? You know who's going to cause the problems. You know why they're going to cause the problems. Like there's some holiday back there, back home, where they think it's okay to just blast off fireworks all hours the day and night at each other, at other people, at cars, you know, out of designated areas. There's no law, no rule. no nothing, no trust. Why not do it then?

Because they, because they're spineless. Like, law enforcement has become so spineless that they, they do it for, like, quote unquote, public awareness, but they won't do it for public protection, which is really at the core of why policing has failed in Canada in a lot of ways. What do we do from all this? Just let it be. I mean, like I say, like I say to my wife, like,

you know, we're ready to go, but when we go, it'll be you begging me to leave, not, it won't be, you will not be convinced by me until it's too late. And by then I'll be ready for us to go and I'll have everything ironed out. So don't worry about it. But just remember I said this to you. Are you going to be in one of those, you're going to be just like smuggled out? I'm taking a blue origin. Jeff Bezos and I were going together to be frontiers. They should, they shove you in one of those briefcases, switch to tags like they're doing I'll be at Pearson. Yes. Yes. And then you're gone. Right. Did you see the

W5 video of the girl walking through the front door into baggage. No one talks to her, no one touches her. That is mental, man. That's our largest, busiest airport, both domestic and international. And it's just fucking done.

Whatever. So that's the security concerns over there. I'm going to just go a little bit into this, right? So the problem was there was an investigation that showed off that there was thousands of employees at the airport. They are supposed to have high level of security clearances. And well, a lot of them were flagged for security concerns.

And, okay, let's talk about this guy. I can't. Yeah, the one guy that I know who you're going to talk about. This is insane. Parm Pals to do. And this guy was arrested and accused to help being facilitate the massive $22 million gold heist that was done in Pearson International back in 2020.

He's been on the police radar since 2008. You know, he's 16, 15 years, 16 years he is there. He was previously been caught trying to pass through airport security with an empty ammunition magazine and was even the victim of a targeted shooter shooting that killed his girlfriend. Yet he's still able to fucking work at the airport. He had all these red flags, but a security clearance, he had it right up until the heist. Then you have this fucking, this airport, sorry, the luggage tag switching garbage, this whole racket that's going on. You have this corrupt ground crew

that should obviously have better judgment, but you know what? They're there to fuck people over in the end. They're working on behalf of international organized crime syndicates and they're tearing off the identification tag on suitcases. These people are completely innocent and they're putting on duplicate bags

that are full of drugs. And we had in a past year 17 innocent Canadian passengers, they've been intercepted in places like Dominican Republic, New Zealand and shit like that. places where they will kill you some places New Zealand won't

but you go to Bali for instance you're done you know there are places you're going to be up against a wall shot and killed there is no recourse and you know what

you're bringing drugs in their country I didn't know I'm bringing drugs in the country well you know what you brought it in you're on our soil our laws you're done there's nothing so people are just unaware because of these fucking losers out there. Their names are now attached to millions of dollars of narcotics.

People are being used as mules, drug mules without even being known. Crazy. Crazy. Third world level bullshit. That's going on right here. What is the saying? Import the third world, become the third world. Like clockwork. It makes you like think, do I get on this flight? Do I bring any luggage with me? Like, do I not bring any? Or just bring carry on. that I can fucking see.

I don't bring, I don't bring luggage with me when I travel like to conferences and stuff. I just bring one bag. It's actually sitting right here. It's a Herschel, like duffel bag. Carry on or something.

Yeah, that's it. And I bring my laptop in my backpack and that's it. That's with you the whole way. You could see if it's something, you know, the fuck with that. Because as if I didn't have to worry about like anything before, luggage not getting there,

getting lost, whatever, tons of stories about this. Air Canada, you may remember people were stealing luggage, I believe, in this country, like a year ago.

Remember, they found a warehouse full of stuff. You ever see videos of them just fucking... Yeah. Like you see a warehouse full of stolen luggage on some cell phone camera. Thanks to air tags now, people can track the stuff down. So if you weren't worried about that before, now you're worried about becoming, you know, Pablo Escobar on a flight from Canada to Taiwan or something.

You'll never see your family again, man. They'll lock you up. Now, the most telling part of all this, I think, is that the RCMP found a few instances of this happening over the last like, whatever, two or three. three months and basically just said to people like, yeah, we've seen this before, actually. So don't worry about it. Like, we get it. It's not your fault.

They see it often enough that they're just letting people go after a few hours of interrogation and a few hours of review, a few hours of whatever. Like, it's so familiar to them that it's basically just a paperwork exercise at this point. Brutal. Brutal. Let's talk last story about this Afghan war monument. that's being well it's it's starting as we unveiled

late of 2028 and it's going to be they officially broke ground for this or Toronto City Hall where no Le Breton Flats in Ottawa that's directly across the street of the Canadian War Museum which is a very cool museum I did see

yeah I've been there maybe 20 25 years ago so the Afghanistan war coming on people died I get it so the monument has a unique architectural design. And it was done by Team Stinson. That's led by an indigenous artist.

And he's also a veteran at Adrian Stinson. Stimson, sorry. And the monument draws heavily on the conceptual and structural themes of healing found in traditional medicine wheel. The monument takes the form of a circular, sacred sanctuary design as a secure home base for private reflection and collective mourning. A lot of combat veterans in general were kind of excluded from the whole political proceedings.

This is just nuts, man. But they turned this war into like, do the land acknowledgement? How is that possible? How is that possible? Because clearly that extends to Afghanistan. It's a long ways away, but you know what? Their land is their land and our land. Our land is their land too, apparently.

That's it. I don't know. How does a band think that or whatever, like the cultural, you know, lobbying scam groups that these guys employ, how do they figure that they're going to usurp or commandeer the Afghanistan War Memorial for a land acknowledgement? How do they figure that?

Or like an, you know, Aboriginal, What are we talking about here? How did that happen? Are we that cucked in this country? How many more memorials do we have? The Ineshabi, whatever? Do they have, do they claim to Kandahar? Have they talked about this?

Probably, I mean, I don't know. I'm just spinballing here. I could be wrong. I'm not making fun. I'm just questioning this. So clearly I am ignorant in this subject. I'm not sure if Afghanistan is Turtle Island or not. Or if it's just like Canada, this Turtle Island.

I don't know how that works. Is it the whole world? How many bodies? Is the whole... I'm curious. Careful. Careful there. Cam Loops, Kenny.

We're going to watch out for you. No, I'm talking about people that died to like the IEDs. Oh, of course. I don't know. You're talking about it. I don't know if Turtle Island is just Canada. Is it? I don't know.

I mean, this is the problem that we even, the problem is that we even have to talk about this. Like, it's a topic on a Bitcoin show. because it's just so insane that it has to, like you must mention it. I don't know. I did see the Globe Mail post of the story though that Cam Loops. They still haven't found any bodies and, you know, what should Canadians think? So funny.

Like everyone is going, everyone's had it with this. They read it. It was on Reddit. Top post on R slash Canada. Comments locked. And actually I had a few people who listened to the show message me their stories about their experiences with the sort of business side of our. Aboriginal politics, all scams and grift.

Of course, I mean, it's not a surprise. But it's funny to hear from people who really have no affiliation with. There's no reason for them to tell me that, except that they just think it's funny to share stories of like, you know, cons. These days, it's hard to find a body count of zero. Yeah. So when you do that, you should, you know, put them on a pedestal or, you know, at least. Build a statue at least.

All right. Let's move on to the 256Eat segment. The most politically correct thing we'll do in the final half hour of the show. Brought to you by 256 Heat where Twan is hosting meetups in Ottawa now. Him and Boomer just did a couple of meetups where they debuted. I think debuted is a fair description of what happened there. The Ghostbusters rack that you're going to be able to buy. Carry that thing around with you.

It's a GameCube and you're headed to a land party. circa 2004 and heat while you hash look sick you should see it if you haven't already I think you can go on Twonica on Twitter yeah whatever either way either way they're both right 256 heat dot com tell them we sent you and if you mention that you're part of a disadvantaged group you get a discount so there you go so one of these stories that I'm going to be talking about comes from a gentleman by name of Wilhelm and I don't want to give his oh guy Wilhelm listen to the show. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to give his X handle just in case he wants to remain anonymous, but I appreciate you providing this story. And I wanted to include it last week, but I already had those stories lined up. But this time, I'm going to be using this one. So if anybody has a story, they want to hear. Are they giving you beefy stories to try and beat the, to try and stump the Swami here? Is that what's happening? They don't like my success. Stump the Swabhe. Is that the Stump the Swammy was like an old sports.

trivia show, I think. With Chris Berman. Schwab? It was Schwab? Schwab? What was the Swami? I don't know. Stump.

Let me see. Stump the Schwab. How the fuck did that that guy know so much? Stump the Swami. Stump the Swami was on yeah. It was trivia. It was trivia games in the 2000s on ESPN.

Schwami? I thought it was Schwab. Yeah, it was Schwab actually. What is Stump the Swami? Maybe I'm making that out. How do fuck did Schwab knows so much? This was that time before you had access to like, it's not like he was cheating.

Yeah, I don't know. On that seat live, or not live, at least recorded. The guy ain't rocking out a deep set of knowledge for all these random things. Anyways. So, Wilhelm, appreciate it. So we got two stories. One is a Brampton man. One is a Hamilton man.

Let's rock and roll. So first one, we have a man is facing fraud charge. Two lawsuits as alleged real estate deposit scam collapsed. Oh, we're done here. We're good. We're finished. A man has been charged with fraud and is facing. lawsuits because of pre-con home deposits worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The pre-con Don, taking money from people and just living it up. I love it. Allegedly it took real estate deposits from at least nine home buyers for pre-construction houses. He did not have the right to sell for which they were being built by an unrelated, legitimate developer. One person paid nearly $170,000 in deposits. And she signed a purchase agreement back in July 22. And yeah, so basically she's out of money in her dream home.

It's never going to be, well, her, somebody else will get it. And in a court filing, but he denied all allegations of fraud that he never represented himself as a real estate, investor, broker, developer, or mortgage lender. Instead, he says that he was simply a sales associate who received multiple payments on behalf of his superiors and not deposit them for his own personal use. And yeah, so three years ago, a CBC study was done. Sorry, investigation was done and raising questions about real estate deals about another local realtor. They sounded the alarm about sales pitch with below market prices and low mortgage rate that he said he was circulating in Toronto's black community.

Hmm. And that was another scam. So what's going on here? You know the gist of it. The guy was taking money and blah, blah, blah. So that's story number one. That's the real estate guy that just, well, fuck them were a bunch of people. Story number two, we have two arrested in Ontario-wide counterfeit license plate investigation.

And police arrested two people in connection with these counterfeit license plates and you're linked to at least 30 criminal investigations across Canada. And this police probe was done for the online business selling license plates launched back in fall of 2025. And they said the investigators said there were numerous isolated incidents throughout the summer. And then the investigation resulted in a search warrant, April 7th, and two people were arrested. And they were both charged with unlawful marking, making marks selling or possessing counterfeit marks and shit that were associated with crime. And they are going to go to jail.

Sorry, the court appearance of eventually jail and blah, blah, blah. So that's it. So we had one guy, two guys making fake license plates. and versus the other guy that is the fake pre-con seller. So who is the Hamilton, who is the Brampton man? Oh, I just want to say,

by the way, with respect to the counterfeit plates, there's a funny story about this, by the way. There was an incident back in June 12, 2025. A driver operating a stolen vehicle equipped with counterfeit plates from these guys fled police while impaired. The driver collided with several other vehicles

before crashed into the poll. The driver was arrested and attempted for taking control of another vehicle. So, yeah. So basically he said the business had a somewhat robust social media presence on Instagram

and they had a website. Yeah. They were even represented at the Canadian Auto Show, international auto show, according to police. So, yeah. Okay, I would normally say anything related to mortgage fraud

is Brampton. Mortgage fraud, you know, international leader. true innovation going on in the space of mortgage fraud in Brampton, the tricks of the international community coming home to Canada and... That's like, it's a staple of. It is a staple of.

Now, the question for me is really not even about the stories. It's about what did Wilhelm think that I would tell you that made him want to give you these stories. And so in my head, I'm like, okay, does he want me to guess that the Brampton guy is the mortgage guy because it's almost too obvious. And he's trying to out, he's trying to outgun me. He's trying to give me the deke, you know. And so maybe I should guess that the mortgage guy is actually the Hamilton man and the license plate guy is the Brampton man.

It's a, it's a shell game, you think? Like, here it is. Maybe, maybe. I actually think that he thinks, he thinks that I think that. And so I'm going to go the other way. My original, I don't even know which way you're going. It's the Monty Hall problem. Okay.

You're going to go with the, I'm taking the first door. I'm staying with the 33% chance. The Brampton guy is the mortgage fraud. You got to talk to Scott Steiner, by the way, if you want to get some fucking, some odds. He gives you some really good.

Okay. You've already seen that the promo he did on math, cost Steiner math? No, no. You fucking laugh. I'll have a look at that. I think the Brampton guy is the mortgage guy, is my guess.

Yeah, you're 100% right. Definitely. It's the Brampton man. In fact, let's see if I could. I don't get the fucking. name of it. Anyway, yeah, it's indeed that he's

the, the dude. Let me see if I could find it. That was, that was almost, almost too, almost hard, except that like the guy peddling in certain ethnic communities, Louise, Conwar, 28 years old. Incredible.

Oh, dude, you got to see his fucking, here, I'm going to put it in the chat here. Pull it up. Let's have a look. He's got a beauty sweater. There it is. Look it up. I can't click it. You got to send me in the private chat for me to be able to click it. The comment.

I'll pull it up on the screen. Yeah. What a fucking sweater. Elite. What is that from? Instagram? What is that? No.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. Oh my God. This is. Share the picture. I'm going to zoom right in. I got to get this big screen. Oh, what a beautiful fucking.

I love that sweater. It just exudes fake realtor. Could you imagine giving him $170,000 This dude coming with that fucking sweater to your house Pre-Condon, baby, pre-con Don. Pre-Cat-Wise, Conwar 28 years old, good for him for doing it so young.

Got a lifetime of spending time in jail to think about what he's unwronged. Maybe he's going to slap on wrist and be able to be able to be in New tomorrow. Yeah, his culture requires it. Let's get out of here. We'll see you guys next week for more latest and greatest in Bitcoin and also also other culturally appropriate, culturally sensitive stories over which we will tiptoe the faintest,

the faintest dance moves. Anyway, let's get out of here. We'll see you next week. Take care.
