00:00:00.000
okay do you understand how absurd it is what you're saying like how that makes no logical
00:00:07.180
sense so i'm like if you can come in my face say that you're not thinking rationally so that's
00:00:12.540
like using these anti-protesters they're not thinking rationally they're just thinking
00:00:15.880
they're believing everything negative about the freedom convoy they're believing everything
00:00:20.980
negative they're being told on the news and they're just i don't know i don't know what
00:00:24.560
they're thinking but it's you know that's what's driving them to be against what our movement's
00:00:28.760
about yeah what are they thinking you know it's it's it's it's too bad because a lot of the time
00:00:36.120
it really seems like they're kind of uh operating from false information like a lot of just lies
00:00:42.160
and ignorance uh based the reality on and i and i guess based on that did you follow the uh public
00:00:51.120
inquiry the inquiry into the use of the emergency act actually actually sorry maybe before that maybe
00:00:57.880
before that what was your reaction of the final days of the convoy because i haven't asked you
00:01:03.040
about like the final days of the convoy when you saw the police horses and you saw you know the
00:01:08.680
riot police and all this stuff unfolding uh because that was really kind of an escalation of
00:01:14.000
what it's like one one thing is to have a politician ignore us for three weeks
00:01:18.320
yeah it's a whole other thing to uh you know call in all these police to you know beat up
00:01:24.140
their own citizens just to avoid a conversation what was your reaction when all that was happening
00:01:28.520
well we went through like a kind of a struggle of what to do because when we got like we went
00:01:32.900
on a whim i don't even know if i got into this with you when we're talking we were because i'm
00:01:37.440
so unplugged into social media you know i have facebook because i got facebook when i was like
00:01:42.900
i don't know 18 or whatever it was but i you know and i don't have instagram i don't have any of
00:01:46.840
these things i don't follow as much as social media as people do we are up north in alberta
00:01:51.580
on Sylvan Lake and we were coming back to Calgary and we saw lines and lines of people just on the
00:01:57.600
freeway with signs and it was madness and I was like what is going on what are we missing right
00:02:02.500
now and all you saw was Canadian flags and people cheering and trucks everywhere I was like
00:02:06.300
Andrew something's going with my wife and I said something's going on what are we missing here we
00:02:10.440
got home it's about 10 o'clock at night and I pulled up Facebook and I started searching and
00:02:14.220
I was like there's a convoy going to Ottawa and she's like what she's like we got to go I was
00:02:18.820
like yeah we gotta go and that minute we decided we're gonna go we packed the bags got our two-year-old
00:02:25.240
threw him in the jeep and drove 30 some 36 hours or whatever it was we didn't even stop we just
00:02:30.520
drove straight to ottawa and we got in the middle of downtown and we're like gotta find somewhere to
00:02:35.780
stay now so we walked into hotels and the most of them were booked we stayed at the marriott which
00:02:41.080
was right center in the middle there and we just booked it and we just stayed and she said how long
00:02:45.880
I said I don't know just we'll stay as long as we can and then as everybody knows when somehow
00:02:51.360
all the rooms got booked up and nobody could continue their stay because the government came
00:02:57.480
and took all the rooms out um that's about when we were thinking we should we had got to go because
00:03:02.840
we had nowhere to stay and that's about the night I talked to you I think and after that it was
00:03:07.520
starting to turn because walking down the streets you started to see the snipers on the roofs
00:03:10.840
um you started the counter protesters were there every day trying to aggravate people
00:03:15.520
and the cops are getting a little more you know like we don't know what to do here so it was
00:03:19.080
the mood was changing and not from us obviously but towards us i was getting aggressive and so
00:03:25.020
you know thinking of the family and thinking of my little one saying is it so safe to be here so
00:03:29.240
the last couple nights i was out there by myself at night during the day we were all out but at
00:03:32.920
night i was by myself because i didn't want the little one out there and um and then we thought
00:03:37.680
okay we should go but I was like we can't leave though I can't you know this is this is a crunch
00:03:41.920
of we can't leave so we ended up leaving we had to find somewhere to stay every hotel wouldn't
00:03:45.860
let us stay so we ended up going into Quebec going to Gatineau finding a random hotel there
00:03:51.000
and we stayed there so I didn't leave after talking to you we ended up staying and we stayed
00:03:55.960
right till the end where they basically kicked everybody out and oh wow yeah so I was still there
00:04:01.240
and just coming in driving in every day and driving back and driving in every day and then
00:04:07.800
where they were just basically moving the trucks
00:04:14.340
So for those just tuning in or for those on YouTube,
00:04:17.820
sorry, we had technical difficulties on YouTube.
00:04:28.360
You may have seen a couple of interviews dropped with Val.
00:04:33.160
So I want to ask him about, you know, the state with Danielle Smith and things going out there in Alberta.
00:04:39.720
But we're just kind of catching up here on everything that happened in Ottawa, the convoys.
00:04:45.620
So you were saying you were there with your family, essentially got to see the very.
00:04:52.980
It was quite disappointing to see it broken up like that.
00:04:55.940
And what was really like this kind of almost winter Canadian village that popped up.
00:05:03.160
uh for three it's pretty wild it was so wild and it really and it really was a you know
00:05:08.420
community is a word that gets thrown around and you know what was there at the convoy really was
00:05:15.040
a multiple community like each part of the convoy
00:05:18.880
but uh had to see it but um did you follow the inquiry emergency act inquiry did you
00:05:31.300
were you able to stomach much of that i didn't um i guess i didn't follow it as closely as
00:05:37.320
some people did like i wasn't able to kind of follow it every day but i i watched as much as
00:05:42.800
i could i try to you know gather every interview i couldn't see when they were doing it and some
00:05:47.100
of the big ones and you know so i don't think i saw every part of every testimony but i saw enough
00:05:54.700
to see what was happening i mean at first i was super happy that it was happening that there were
00:05:59.340
you know something was happening but very quickly you understand everything is just a show
00:06:03.220
so this was put out there to try to say oh look you know we're allowing them to
00:06:08.780
to question our authority but really they're not going to give any information they're not going
00:06:14.440
to do anything to jeopardize themselves so they're just going to basically not answer any questions
00:06:19.160
and it was so you know it was disgusting at times to watch some of the language that was being used
00:06:24.720
that some of the i mean it's it's the way they dance around answers is so insane and it's like
00:06:32.300
nobody in their right mind believes anything you're saying nobody you know is getting duped
00:06:37.320
here everybody knows what you're hiding everybody knows you're trying to word things in a way where
00:06:40.560
you don't want to say what it is but they think they're getting away with something and it's just
00:06:45.400
you know it's kind of disheartening to watch that nothing was really getting resolved how it should
00:06:49.180
be even though it's pretty obvious anybody watching it knew you know what was being said
00:06:53.240
know what and then the problem was they didn't allow it i read somewhere somebody saying this
00:06:57.740
isn't a you know the convoy is not on on trial here and that's what it kept getting turned into
00:07:02.700
kept getting turned into trying to make the convoy look bad or making the protesters look
00:07:08.560
bad in some kind of light and it's like well we're not being on we're not on trial for
00:07:11.800
our actions there uh where you know it was whether it was justified for what you did and i know it
00:07:17.920
can quickly turn that line of saying well the way they're acting is why we did what we did but
00:07:22.220
it got very twisted into always trying to point the finger of you know how you know the flag of
00:07:28.640
the nazi flag and whatever you know the one or two things that they keep pushing for the last year
00:07:32.460
that didn't exist um but they wouldn't actually address whether it was needed which is so obvious
00:07:38.780
it wasn't needed everybody realized that but they're not going to back down and how are they
00:07:42.680
going to back down and just say yeah you know yeah uh thank you for the super chat viking insane
0.97
00:07:49.900
with two dollars he just said normally canadians swallowed the inquiry bs yeah yeah i'd agree with
00:07:56.020
that i really think that um you know my interpretation of the inquiry is that it almost
00:08:01.880
kind of uh polarized further polarized uh pro convoy and anti-convoy people you know because
00:08:08.520
everyone who supports the convoy everybody who's kind of um awake to what's really going on they'll
00:08:16.300
they'll just see that inquiry and be even more disgusted and say like,
00:08:20.440
wow, like look, look how, look how far these, you know,
00:08:24.060
these politicians and these public servants are going to just not have an
00:08:30.500
did you see this highlight where the Ottawa city counselor pretended he
00:08:34.760
couldn't speak English in order to not explain what a microaggression is?
00:08:41.520
This is near the beginning. And, and he was like, Oh, that,
00:08:45.400
jima jima francophone and it was like you were just speaking english and and then later on he's
00:08:52.040
eloquently explaining in english of course why he can't speak english and it's just like let's just
00:08:58.440
put the clown cycles and of course not only that but the other ottawa city actually a
00:09:08.180
ottawa mayor was coaching him a hot mic to go yeah yeah she was like keep going
0.68
00:09:14.100
it's horrible it's so brutal just even watch even watching the content the way that was happening
00:09:20.620
it just looked like a show looked like an amateur show and it was like uh it's just yeah um all
00:09:29.380
right so let's talk about alberta how long you lived in alberta oh not long uh moved here basically
00:09:36.220
uh in 2020 right after the pandemic kind of hit and started going after about it was almost a year
00:09:44.840
of it where it was just getting worse and worse at that point and this before it got crazy lockdown
00:09:51.320
crazy mass crazy everything but being in bc it was already crazy enough you couldn't go anywhere
00:09:57.220
couldn't do anything couldn't and um and i i refused to wear a mask i didn't wear it anywhere
00:10:02.880
i didn't believe in it um and i just and i you know i wouldn't just go along with it so besides
00:10:08.480
having the arguments with everybody i knew including family members you know um i would
00:10:14.400
just stand my own protest of saying no i'll do what i'm gonna do and i would get kicked out of
00:10:18.940
places i would get in arguments and you know i told my wife i'm like it's just a matter of days
00:10:24.980
until i get arrested because it's it's just getting that way real quick and i just couldn't
00:10:29.980
understand the mentality i couldn't understand the majority of people feeling that way and so
00:10:33.520
and uh anyways that was just part of it but so we made a move out to alberta and it was again
00:10:39.960
other reasons as well but um but it was like a breath of fresh air coming out here because it
00:10:45.580
was like wow there's still normal people out there yeah yeah wasn't you know wasn't there
00:10:52.860
some perks to being in bc during lockdowns though weren't they like a little let less lenient
00:10:58.220
British Columbia or am I mistaken compared to you guys yeah
00:11:03.460
I think I think Ontario kind of got it real bad right in the beginning and
00:11:09.080
I can't honestly can't even remember how it started like it was changing week
00:11:13.260
to week and you know they take away one thing put in another thing take this
00:11:17.000
way take that away but it wasn't just the force of what they were doing like
00:11:23.500
whether they were saying okay you know what's mandatory what's not or
00:11:26.260
whatever lockdown was or not it was the overall attitude of the people there um i'd say majority
00:11:33.140
of them were in support of just saying shut your mouth shut your eyes and follow the line
00:11:37.500
and um and i'm just not that person i'm not built that way and so i just couldn't relate to it so
00:11:42.800
it was getting hard to you know because you'd got it in alberta got some lockdowns and stuff too but
00:11:47.740
there was enough camaraderie with the people that didn't agree with it that you could feel in a
00:11:50.880
network that there were still some people um that related to you and so when you had those
00:11:55.000
conversations like i mean i i still now about two years in here i haven't really come across anybody
00:12:02.020
who disagrees with everything we believe and everything we feel like i know i know they're
00:12:07.660
here i for sure they are i mean they we did protests after after ottawa we were doing protests
00:12:12.680
here on the streets every day every saturday um downtown and there was anti-protesters and it was
00:12:18.320
all this so it exists but you just don't feel it the same as you did in bc and i'm sure the same
00:12:22.400
you did in ontario right right all right so let's talk about this uh danielle smith uh and i want to
00:12:32.060
play that clip but uh before we play the clip about uh the i believe it's called alberta sovereignty
00:12:38.580
correct yeah before we talk about that what was your interpretation of her uh before that because
00:12:45.200
i know she kind of came out and said made comments about uh you know i never want to see us be
00:12:50.940
discriminating against like unvaccinated people like like that was she kind of came out and had
00:12:55.980
some very probably some of the more stronger words i've ever seen out of a politician's mouth in a
00:13:01.580
long time yeah uh i see a seated politician especially um what was your interpretation
00:13:08.480
um when i first saw and heard what you were saying i was like i was impressed and i was like wow okay
00:13:15.840
someone's actually saying what seems to be normal to us but as a politician actually saying it and
00:13:23.280
feeling it you know but again it's a politician so you just think well you know you're just trying
00:13:28.560
to get into position so you you know every politician says whatever they need to get into
00:13:32.460
position so there was i am always hesitant to just be like oh yeah okay champion this or champion
00:13:37.640
that so i was just closely watching and saying okay well she's saying all the right things
00:13:42.560
but does she actually believe this or is this just a bunch of smoke to you know get into position so
00:13:47.940
she's followed up you know with everything she stood for and everything she stands for that she
00:13:53.280
said she's moving forward with it so um i'm it it for everybody out here that that supports her is
00:14:01.180
like loving it like it's a big big you know push of like this is awesome this is the direction we
00:14:07.260
need to be moving finally someone's doing it and um and you know putting together some tea actually
00:14:12.420
said she was going to do it from the beginning and she put it together and she's you know tabling it
00:14:16.660
which is awesome and i think that's such an incredible thing to do i think it's a big thing
00:14:20.060
for a politician to actually have some morals now i feel like a lot of them go into it for the right
00:14:25.380
reasons or with the right morals and you don't know how long that lasts or you know if it'll
00:14:29.860
hold up but right now as of what's gone on so far i'm in support of what she's doing
00:14:34.080
yeah yeah i i definitely i hear that and i do suspect that as well you know once you get into
00:14:41.240
a power position or fighting for one there's got to be just so much pressure from all sides
00:14:46.240
and it's got to be the absolute an absolute marathon an absolute positive kind of questioning
00:14:53.520
or challenging rather principles and challenging your you know your stamina and your sanity for
00:15:00.500
that matter um and for that matter it's like there seems to be a pattern of people maybe getting in
00:15:06.180
there for the right reasons and then you know getting jaded and being like well i'm just i
00:15:09.700
just want to get my pension so f it but um i definitely think that's the case for some of
00:15:15.060
these larger federal parties you know been around for so long um but let's just i'm gonna play this
00:15:20.740
clip from uh premier danielle smith uh and she's basically talking about this um this alberta
00:15:28.760
Alberta Sovereignty Act. So I'm going to hide you for a second here, but I think I sent you
00:15:32.120
the clip if you want to play it there, Val. Just a second here. And here we go. Play.
00:15:40.720
Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act is a first step in standing up for Albertans
00:15:45.000
and pushing Ottawa back into its own lane. When passed, this legislation will create
00:15:50.540
a constitutional legal framework for Alberta to push back against federal interference
00:15:59.040
The federal government is actively attempting to landlock our natural resources, penalize
00:16:03.980
our energy and agriculture producers, cut fertilizer use, control the delivery of health,
00:16:08.980
education, childcare and other social programs with strings attached funding and confiscate
00:16:17.860
The framework provided under the Act will allow Alberta's Legislative Assembly to identify
00:16:52.720
that i love that it's like man that like must be nice to have a premier out there fighting for you
00:16:58.200
and i certainly love how it's out on the table how she's like f ottawa we don't like you
1.00
00:17:05.200
the nice thing about her is that she's not just you know shooting it out of you know her rear
1.00
00:17:13.180
she knows what she's talking about she's smart enough to know she's done the research she
00:17:16.520
understands it so the problem is so many people are uneducated about how her system actually works
00:17:20.400
so so people are fighting against it like oh they just want to you want to grab power they want to
00:17:25.460
be able to make decisions unilaterally and make you know laws behind closed doors and these are
00:17:30.020
the arguments where it's like and they're laughing it off because they're like read the act read the
00:17:35.640
act and understand what it means and read our constitution and how it works and you'll stop
00:17:40.180
having these arguments because the arguments don't make sense that's not what they're proposing
00:17:43.460
they're proposing to go back to a system which is already in place the way it's supposed to work
00:17:47.680
which the provinces have their own sovereign areas, which they're allowed to govern,
00:17:53.840
and then the federal government has their areas, and you work together.
00:17:57.140
And what's happened is Otto stepped on those individuals' provinces' rights to make those own decisions,
00:18:03.680
just kind of overridden them and said, okay, well, this is the way it's going to go.
00:18:06.480
And for the most part, I think some of them were either possibly beneficial
00:18:11.520
or they were not as, basically they weren't hurting the people as badly to make a big
00:18:20.000
of an instinct for the provinces to say, okay, now back off, we're not doing that.
00:18:25.680
And so slowly over time, they crept in, crept in, crept in a little bit farther to the point
00:18:29.020
where they were pretty much in control of all of legislation that was happening on a
00:18:32.720
provincial level, where all she's saying is we're taking back the right to control what
00:18:39.700
we're not making some new laws we're just saying we're staying true to what was always in place of
00:18:45.540
how the country was supposed to be governed and they're just not liking it you know it's income
00:18:49.960
tax how many people in this country realize they don't have to pay income tax that they don't have
00:18:56.300
to pay income tax go down that rabbit hole greg i don't know what that i don't i don't know if i
00:19:03.540
want to promote that i don't i don't want to get my uh my audience arrested i don't know it's not
00:19:10.000
a law i don't want the cra showing up my audience's door hey my greg wycliffe told me i don't have to
00:19:15.080
pay taxes well it's i mean we won't get into it but it's technically not a law and it's just
00:19:20.420
something that's been in place for long enough that everybody understands it and there's enough
00:19:24.920
pressure if you don't do it that people are like well it's not worth the hassle i don't have the
00:19:28.580
time money or energy to be fighting this in court i'm just gonna pay it and move on my way
00:19:33.060
but there's a guy i think he's out of ontario actually that's i think 40 some odd years he's
00:19:37.340
never paid and he goes to court every time with the same thing a ruling from back at some point
00:19:42.020
where somebody pled the case and won and uh i forget what else it was but he gets thrown on
00:19:46.980
the court every single time and he hasn't paid it in 40 some odd years i know other people haven't
00:19:50.540
paid it um but so i just think what my point was that just things go in a certain way and just
00:19:56.280
becomes the norm right it becomes the way it happens and nobody questions it so the government
00:20:01.680
has overreached on the provincial level for so long that nobody knows any differently nobody
00:20:05.940
ever thinks about it differently so now she's coming in and saying nope we're going back to
00:20:10.040
not having you guys step in and have these all these rules that you think that you have
00:20:15.320
jurisdiction over which you don't we do and we're going to do it so our province doesn't hurt
00:20:19.720
anymore because when she started talking about like the farmers you know like they're talking
00:20:24.200
about yeah um the capital fertilization yeah what people see like i have so much trouble with these
00:20:32.580
arguments because people don't do the research they don't know the facts they just jump on a
00:20:37.160
bandwagon so they're gonna look at the base facts of okay well they're just trying to close you know
00:20:42.960
for the environment they want less fertilization to be used and so they're trying to move in the
00:20:47.540
right direction and that's why they're imposing these levels of how much you need to use but it's
00:20:53.440
not realistic the amount they want them to cut back is so unrealistic that they can't do it
00:20:58.840
they basically have to stop stop i think something like 70 of the production to be able to meet those
00:21:04.180
standards so what she's saying is you're just backhandedly controlling the supply you're
00:21:11.820
controlling production you're basically saying you can't produce at this level and then what's
00:21:16.700
going to happen they're going to step in and be like oh well you know there's a gap now and uh
00:21:20.300
we'll cover that gap right what it makes me think of is um you know this whole provincial versus
00:21:30.360
federal uh like who has the control over legislation or the laws or the policies of
00:21:36.640
what goes on it reminds me of the argument that people in ottawa were making during the convoy
00:21:43.460
yeah you remember this argument they were saying oh well that's provincial mandates are provincial
00:21:48.860
there's nothing to do with the people in this building right and now that the people in alberta
00:21:54.800
are like okay we want to you know make sure that we have our own rules people in ottawa are like oh
00:21:59.260
my god they're you know they're ruining democracy they're they're uh it's it's the like they're uh
00:22:04.880
power grab um that's exactly what it is like what's the argument because you're just gonna you're
00:22:10.580
doing both sides of the argument there do you want us to govern ourselves and then just have
00:22:14.120
our own protests in our own province if we don't like it or do you want us to come to ottawa and
00:22:17.780
protest because you're the one controlling it like which one is it it's frustrating it's super
00:22:23.320
frustrating uh i want to shout out a couple super chats here uh viking insane says ford bragged
00:22:29.720
about ontario being most locked in north america did he being the most locked i think it was at
00:22:38.260
one point for a while i think you guys were most locked because i have family in ontario
00:22:42.120
and i remember at some point talking to my aunt or something and she's like well i can't go to
00:22:48.940
post office yet because we're in lockdown still and this was like months after a lockdown had
00:22:53.840
already ended in bc even so you guys were harder than a lot of places so yeah no i emphasize most
00:23:00.980
lockdown as i'm like he was bragging about that like then again it's it's it's we were talking
00:23:07.760
about this earlier in the stream but it's like we're trying to remember what it was like during
00:23:11.100
the lockdown and it's it really was a a uh you know just a series of unbelievable unbelievable
00:23:20.760
patients but but i think you're right if i recall correctly the worst time in uh ontario
00:23:27.100
this is the same time where there was around the same time that there was curfews
00:23:32.380
in quebec there was curfews in quebec and then in ontario there was a you can't go
00:23:37.480
anywhere unless it's like the hospital or the grocery store like there was this crazy sort of
00:23:43.840
uh yeah you can't leave your home unless it's something super super essential um yeah there's
00:23:49.360
a few places out east like at the eastern coast and ontario and i think in saskatchewan or or
00:23:56.380
manitoba somewhere there also they put a curfew in at 1.2 yeah so in bc they were doing like you
00:24:01.840
had to stay within your little like your bubble your your uh your quadrant your your sector
00:24:08.420
you couldn't you couldn't go from town to town and it was like 15 minutes away and you had to go
00:24:12.960
you know and you weren't allowed to go and i i think new brunswick had that at one i remember i
00:24:17.560
was doing research on new brunswick because they were coming up with legislation basically saying
00:24:22.280
hey if you're a grocery store you're allowed you have now have the right to ban unvaccinated
1.00
00:24:26.420
and i and i just i made a video about that right away because i'm i'm like this is
00:24:31.700
thankfully people protest and then something changed it's uh more and more it seems like
00:24:39.140
you know you really need to protest to make a change here um you know thank uh no thanks to
00:24:45.360
uh members of parliament but they were gonna lift the mandates anyways greg
00:24:50.600
i had somebody say that to my face at one point when i came back from ottawa and we're talking
00:24:58.860
about um we're talking about being in ottawa and somebody just like turned around and said to me
00:25:04.700
straight to my face they were lifting that anyways you guys this whole point there it was no point of
00:25:08.100
you guys being there i just looked at them and i was like i'm gonna slap you yeah i just turned
0.95
00:25:14.460
rada walked away i was like yeah okay i should believe that yeah yeah just like it just like it
00:25:20.840
was just gonna be two weeks and then we're gonna and then then we're gonna go back to normal right
00:25:24.960
it was just gonna be two weeks like you guys not notice the pattern that uh unless we complained
00:25:30.740
nothing would change but i got another super chat here from john double o arthur for 27 dollars thank
00:25:38.940
you man thank you for the super chat awesome he says greg thanks for the work you do just wanted
00:25:44.160
to tell my story i was an international student in london ontario college demanded vax you got
00:25:51.860
bell's palsy for weeks wow man wow i am sorry to hear that um have you have you you recover from
00:26:03.420
that you said you you had it for weeks so like has it gone away now i'm i'm really sorry to hear that
00:26:08.440
i've been i've been intentionally reaching out to like university students and stuff because only
00:26:13.300
just last week did western university finally drop their their mandate uh i don't know if there's
00:26:20.040
there for all i know there could be more universities who still have it but they almost
00:26:24.600
completely flipped because initially they pushed back their booster mandate to the beginning of
00:26:30.760
january next year i'm pretty sure 2023 and then the a bunch of protests happened i guess this is
00:26:38.100
what i'm trying to figure out i've been if you're hey if you know anyone who's a university student
00:26:41.740
netwestern tell them to dm me on twitter or facebook because i want to interview a student
00:26:46.000
to know what the play-by-play was or like how they got this win of you know of this mandate being
00:26:52.480
repealed because because i want to know like what happened there yeah something happened internally
00:26:56.680
that made them switch for sure i wonder what it was yeah i mean maybe it was like the dean's son
00:27:02.680
got bell's palsy and they're like maybe we'll get rid of this totally um which is sad that it might
00:27:09.080
take something but it's so frustrating because like you can't even have these rational you know
00:27:16.600
conversations with people because they don't they're gonna just discredit out to be like well
00:27:20.900
you can't you know that's a leap you don't know you don't know for sure you don't know for sure
00:27:24.120
if they got it from that it's like well yeah of course you can't 100% say yeah this happened
00:27:28.200
but it's a pretty clear line you can see the amount of coincidences of things happening after
00:27:35.980
that you know what i mean so it's like yeah we can't prove without a shadow of a doubt that
00:27:39.800
that's the cause of it but you know if you just look past your own thoughts of saying well it's
00:27:45.360
definitely not the cause and say it could be then maybe you can start to see there's a huge issue
00:27:51.240
out there like i mean the amount of people i personally know that have had things go bizarrely
00:27:57.300
weird after getting the vaccine and it's like again they can't be correlated directly but it's
00:28:02.300
like well i don't know this guy's 35 and he just dropped dead so you tell me nothing wrong before
00:28:09.800
yeah there's a comment on facebook i'm i'm live streaming on the facebook and youtube for those
00:28:14.820
wondering um two western students recently passed away yeah i i did you hear about that
00:28:21.840
no i didn't but i'm not shocked by it yeah so i i did see that i didn't i didn't do the
00:28:28.280
um and it's like you know it it really takes the frustration that we have with the news media with
00:28:40.940
these politicians and it really makes me want to like turn that into righteous anger um no like
00:28:49.240
this is so morally wrong what's going on um i think that's when you get a lot of the people
00:28:55.880
that even originally weren't maybe you know the way we felt about the you know when we protested
00:29:03.420
hard against everything and saying right off the bat of saying i don't agree with this i'm not okay
00:29:07.180
with this my freedom is more important blah blah blah blah there's a lot of people that weren't
00:29:11.460
on board but once they started to you know push it on to kids is where you saw a big upsurge of
00:29:17.200
people then kind of flipping sides going like well i don't know about this and that was a big
00:29:22.080
push i saw from like you know mask like if if someone says there's no long-term effect of
00:29:27.700
having these young children in school behind masks for two years they're completely delusional
00:29:34.160
i mean the mental effect it's making is so crazy i mean kids learn from facial reactions the first
00:29:41.540
thing you teach a kid before numbers and colors and anything is that's a happy face that's a sad
00:29:45.320
face they learn emotions yeah if you cover someone's face they're not learning that and
00:29:49.300
they're socially just not learning at a level they need to be so the long-term effects of this
00:29:54.240
are going to be so crazy and the people i think enough people start to understand that side of it
00:29:57.960
and whether they weren't fighting for themselves or even if they were vaccinated or whatever
00:30:00.980
whatever they at that point started to be like well i think this is this is going too far now
00:30:07.400
so you know and that's what i said when young kids university students dying or children getting
00:30:13.340
you know vaccinated it's it's it's a whole different story now and so people there's a
00:30:17.680
lot more people outraged about it than they were even initially yeah i definitely think uh things
00:30:23.920
are moving in the right direction in terms of people waking up to it however i i do you notice
00:30:29.720
maybe not so much in alberta but i've noticed it here in uh greater toronto area where there's
00:30:36.300
people who are are still unaffected and they they admit that maybe the injectable product didn't
00:30:44.120
work properly like they'll admit that maybe we were lied to a little bit but it doesn't translate
00:30:51.120
into any sort of uh anything other than like ah well yeah you know well it is what it is and it's
00:31:00.920
like i think it's a twofold thing i think first of all naturally they don't want to say they were
00:31:07.960
wrong they don't want to feel stupid for making a decision that now they can say well i don't think
00:31:13.940
that was the right decision they don't want to backtrack on themselves or they don't want to
00:31:17.320
feel like i did something without that i now disagree with so there you know what i mean
00:31:20.940
there's that internal thing of not being wrong about what their original choice was and the
00:31:25.060
second thing is it's not a direct for a lot of those people i guarantee they didn't have a health
00:31:29.940
like a major health thing happened from it or don't know anybody that had a major health thing
00:31:34.120
from it so it's not a direct thing where they can say oh yeah i'm angry about this now i'm actually
00:31:39.740
have a reason to be upset they're just they got vaccinated nothing happened they didn't they
00:31:44.820
probably got covid after they didn't you know so what they're realizing is well it wasn't effective
00:31:48.960
in me not getting it or spreading it which was the main thing which people finally started to
00:31:53.360
realize it's not doing anything but they probably never got super sick from it or they didn't have
00:31:57.680
any major health complications so to them it's like whatever it is what it is you know i did it
00:32:02.100
but now it's over and it didn't really affect me so i think that's why they're not you know but you
00:32:07.220
get someone that and i know of the people that got vaccinated and had some hardcore stuff happen
00:32:11.600
to them after getting vaccinated and are literally bitter about the fact that they
00:32:16.800
they feel coerced coerced or like manipulated or whatever it was to get it and we're like why did
00:32:23.280
i do it why did i you know you know so there are the ones out there but it's yeah um got another
00:32:53.260
I think there's enough people here with common sense.
00:32:57.820
people that will support NDP. There are definitely
00:32:59.680
people that are even against the sovereignty act
00:33:01.700
in alberta but again not enough i from my personal experience of the people i've spoken with or the
00:33:10.760
people i've come across out here majority are in favor of it and so i don't think i don't think
00:33:17.480
ndp can override um and get that pushed but you know you never know but i i really don't believe
00:33:23.200
that i think it's probably just a fringe minority that's um it's against it all right
00:33:31.420
I'm going to I want to just throw up a few a few headlines here and just to kind of get your reaction to them.
00:33:38.660
This is related to this is related to Danielle Smith.
00:33:49.180
Danielle Smith Sovereignty Act is is very likely unconstitutional.
00:33:53.740
Provinces are not obligated to enforce federal laws.
00:33:58.580
opposition organization holds anti-sovereignty act protest at legislature uh danielle smith's
00:34:11.040
sovereignty act is a silly political dare written in crayon this is by everyone's favorite robin
00:34:16.920
urbac but uh were you were you at this uh at this protest here no that was in edmonton okay
00:34:24.060
and i heard about it and i was reading about it i didn't go to it but again pull up that picture
00:34:28.400
for a second if you can yep can you count how many people are there
00:34:33.680
you wanted to so there's probably like 50 maybe if you're being generous so yeah so there's 50
00:34:42.640
people standing there i think some of them are in masks probably you know still so you'll get
00:34:47.840
like i said alberta's not some unicorn where like every single person understands that covid
00:34:52.580
isn't you know what it is to the rest of the world um there's a majority of us that do
00:34:57.720
understand that but there's still going to be pockets of people that don't so you're not going
00:35:00.860
to get you know you're going to get 100 of the people out here on board with this so there's
00:35:04.380
guaranteed people that are out there that are feeling that we're taking the step in the wrong
00:35:10.480
direction because they feel they're in line with what the liberal government feels should be done
00:35:15.800
and how it should be done and they think their big mommy and daddy are going to come save them
00:35:19.880
from you know all the bad things of the world and so they're they're scared about what this means
00:35:25.420
again there's ignorance too i think some of them just think oh that means that alberta is going to
0.86
00:35:29.600
be not part of canada and we're just going to be a separate country on its own and we're not going
00:35:33.180
to be able to survive it and so um you know she's sending us down the path of destruction well that's
0.97
00:35:38.720
not reality that's not what's happening i thought what this act itself is saying so i think there's
00:35:43.600
probably somewhat ignorance that is protesting against it and some of it's just like well they
00:35:49.240
don't agree they're totally on the opposite spectrum of of a conservative mindset you know
00:35:55.080
so yeah i you know that plays into a theory that i've had for a little while now you know i i i do
00:36:02.520
my best to stay in touch with normie friends or centrist or like you know leftist friends as much
00:36:08.020
as possible and i feel that there is this this you know this perception that is that is an ignorant
00:36:16.440
perception that is you know well i could never be conservative because it's it's racist or like
00:36:22.260
you know there's it's almost based upon this this fear of the evil conservative and like i feel like
00:36:28.580
so much of what mobilizes people who might be protesting against this or people you know very
00:36:34.880
active uh you know leftists are this it's based on this caricature of a right-wing person that is
00:36:42.540
grossly inaccurate for them would you would you agree with that or what have you experienced
00:36:47.500
100 i agree with that and i think that's just the world we're living in right now because
00:36:52.460
everything everybody has to be put into a box and those boxes can't overlap so you know you see it
00:37:01.240
everywhere out there if somebody having an opinion about one thing well then they can't also share
00:37:07.220
opinion about something else because they're you know they're contrary to each other so
00:37:10.340
you're like look in the states you see it a lot with the republican democrats you know so out here
00:37:15.060
it's you're conservative you're you believe this you believe this you believe this and they've put
00:37:19.260
this box around people that believe that are conservative and they just think everything
00:37:24.080
that they feel is in line with being conservative like every single person believes that
00:37:31.360
so that's the problem is that nobody can come to turn nobody can have a rational discussion because
00:37:37.600
they think you're so different every single thing you believe is different than me if you're
00:37:41.500
conservative and i'm not so that way you can't come to any commonality on anything and then
00:37:45.800
there's that division so i think that's created on purpose because we talked about this actually
00:37:50.660
when we were in ottawa something came up about i said you know you have your own issues because
00:37:53.820
you're indigenous and you have your own issues because you're trans and you have your own issues
1.00
00:37:56.720
and and if everybody sees their own little box of that i'm this and i'm separate i'm different
00:38:02.180
because of this and nobody can relate on anything and you're never going to come to any cohesive
00:38:06.980
of agreement on anything so you come across someone this hardcore liberal let's say someone
00:38:11.080
who's hardcore conservative i guarantee you talk long enough you're gonna see there's probably a
00:38:15.220
lot of stuff you agree on there's a lot of stuff you feel the same way about but they've already
00:38:19.560
been painted each other in this picture of like well no i'm already not gonna agree with you about
00:38:24.060
everything so you know so yeah they chop us up in the into these little groups and um yeah i think
00:38:33.880
you kind of described it in our last conversation about um you know we we just we stop focusing on
00:38:40.100
the problems that we share and and the problems that we collectively want to solve and instead
00:38:46.760
it becomes like oh well what about this person's problems or those person's problems and it's like
00:38:50.280
it becomes about like you know helping one group over another or prioritizing one group or another
00:38:56.500
group as opposed to like maybe we should just focus on the uh you know the poverty thing and
00:39:01.220
fact that our economy is uh not looking good you know maybe we should just like you know team up
00:39:05.680
to focus on that um that sort of thing um but uh speaking of despair uh we're gonna talk about
00:39:16.540
made medical assistance in dying and i mean i guess i'll just throw up these headlines real
00:39:25.200
quick paralympian trying to get wheelchair ramps as veterans affair employee operator
00:39:32.720
this is the kind of the counterpoint canada should delay made for people with mental disorders
00:39:40.820
said psychiatrist so at least at least at least some of the counter argument being published
00:39:47.420
but um i mean i i have a few things to say about this what's what's kind of your initial
00:39:53.080
reaction to this have you looked into this much um a little bit probably not as much as you have
00:39:59.120
I don't think I'm up to date on all the ins and outs of it.
00:40:02.460
I mean, but my initial take on it is it's a sad, it's a sad, sad world where, you know, that's the answer.
00:40:17.880
And it's like, you know, that's what they're pushing is saying, OK, well, how do you deal with this problem?
00:40:27.160
he's proud you know he's really i have an admiration for china the basic dictatorship
0.99
00:40:33.480
exactly so you know zero covet is the policy there so just get rid of it is the answer um
00:40:41.000
you know so same thing here if you look go down that line it's like well we can't solve the
00:40:46.200
this problem they could solve it but they're choosing to say we can't solve the housing
00:40:50.420
crisis we can't solve you know the amount of people that are now becoming homeless and and
00:40:57.060
you know, poverty stricken? Well, you could, but your answer is, well, let's just get rid of them.
00:41:01.860
So, you know, in the most basic way of saying it, so they're not going to come out and say,
0.99
00:41:06.140
well, we're going to find a way to kill them all. They're not going to say it, but this is
0.95
00:41:09.320
basically what they're saying is, oh, we'll do medically assisted deaths and we'll let it open
00:41:12.680
to everybody. And, you know, there's enough depression in this world. There's enough people
00:41:16.760
over, especially now since COVID, there's enough people that are mentally fatigued and suffering
00:41:22.320
that you get veterans and you know people that are you know suffering from so many different
00:41:27.660
multitudes that are feeling hopeless and now probably feeling even more hopeless
00:41:30.520
and so they're going to take this avenue and it's a really really sad thing that they're promoting
00:41:35.980
that this is a smart answer this is like somehow being you know humane like it's just it's so
00:41:44.480
twisted absolutely and i think you're right like the most twisted part about it is that
00:41:50.680
they are trying to to pass it off as something compassionate i've already seen kind of some of
00:41:57.100
the woke language that they're trying to um like i made a tick tock about this and i had a couple
00:42:01.820
people respond to it and it really the vibe from these people ripping me out so much the one guy
00:42:07.720
was because i was like trying to make light of it i was trying to make a joke about it
00:42:10.600
and the person was so many people want to you know end their lives in this country why would
00:42:17.100
you joke about this and it's like well wait like do you think it's you think made a good thing
00:42:21.920
like is that why because i'm trying to draw attention to it like yeah yeah yeah for sure
00:42:26.680
but again it's the motivation and the promotion of it so again i am a true true believer in freedom
00:42:32.920
in every aspect freedom of speech freedom of decision you know on all levels so that part of
00:42:40.280
it i could say yeah absolutely 100 i agree that if somebody actually wanted that to happen
00:42:46.100
and they want to go down that path they should be allowed the right to do that just as a pure level
00:42:52.740
of just looking at it from a freedom perspective of saying should they be allowed to do that
00:42:56.380
but the difference of saying someone's allowed to do that and promoting that this is the right
00:43:02.120
answer or this is you know like pushing it that that's a totally different thing so you're saying
00:43:08.600
yeah you know what i mean like it's just like how they go back to the kids thing i feel like
00:43:13.580
i mean i don't know if you even want to go down this path or if i should but like the trans thing
00:43:19.520
when you go to like children getting surgery or young young adults getting surgery at a certain
00:43:25.620
level to switch well yeah there's a complete argument to say they have the right to do that
00:43:30.520
if they feel like that's the right answer but if you're just gonna tell them that's the only answer
00:43:35.920
or only promote one thing guess what's gonna happen that's what they're gonna believe if i
00:43:40.700
my kid's turning four if i tell him for the next year there's only one thing he needs to understand
00:43:46.920
and believe and that this is the way it is he's going to believe it because and that's not just
00:43:50.900
being a four-year-old that's even adults like you can make people follow a certain way so it's the
00:43:55.900
power the power of suggestion exactly exactly so having the right to do it is a different argument
00:44:01.160
but pushing it on the public to say this is a norm and it's not it's it's just an answer that
00:44:07.640
is like oh it's not a big deal you know just saying it's like well yeah that everybody should
00:44:11.880
be allowed to do it and pushing and pushing it then you get people that are just like having a
00:44:15.440
bad week you know and thinking well that's an answer you know that's a that's a great take man
00:44:23.100
and i that distinction you're right is so so important um and it definitely relates to the
00:44:31.160
trans thing especially the trans kid thing because uh i would definitely agree you know like the some
00:44:35.980
people are born intersex some people have you know some some rarities going on and like maybe
00:44:41.900
in a minority minority chance you know maybe this would make sense but it's the fact that we're
00:44:47.580
putting these ideas into children's head to begin with like on a broad scale like that that is the
00:44:53.440
problem you know like exactly it's it's that's always and that's why i think so much of the
00:44:58.280
world is going and every topic is like that it's not about the right or the the other option it's
00:45:03.860
the push it's the suggestional push i there's this line that me and my wife turn to each other
00:45:10.040
and say literally all the time and it's this one line from jeff goldblum from jurassic park
00:45:15.120
and it's the line is you were so concerned with whether you could you never stop to think if you
00:45:24.080
should huh and it's such a great line and it was like it was about you know creating the dinosaurs
00:45:30.300
it created dinosaurs yeah it created havoc so whether they should have done or so worked up
00:45:34.080
whether how to do it and me and her turn to each other literally like all the time things happen
00:45:39.520
i'm like so concerned with whether you could you never thought of you should and it applies on so
00:45:44.500
many levels and and i feel like i'm saying that line all the time because that's what the world
00:45:49.200
is they're so concerned with whether they can or you know to stop and think well you know should
00:45:54.060
is this is this really what should be happening is that the way we should be moving or thinking or
00:45:58.640
you know yeah yeah yeah no and well and when it comes to made though i will say that
00:46:05.260
uh i think that made sure it makes sense for people who maybe have like you know terminal
00:46:10.920
there is there's an argument but made there but um i don't know because do you do you think that
00:46:19.980
people who are mentally ill should have the option because that's the that's the big
1.00
00:46:24.060
controversial thing why why i'm what's coming this 2023 like this is the big kind of like
00:46:29.160
legislation change that's coming 2023 in march with maid all you have to do is be like i'm
00:46:35.860
mentally ill that's it and um and that's that i would probably disagree with even even just having
00:46:44.340
the option i i don't think we should be even allowed like if people want to just their life
00:46:50.200
because they're mentally oh well we have the well we have i mean we have things in place to be able
00:46:54.820
to evaluate people so if they have a psychiatric evaluation and you can say okay this person is
00:47:02.060
has the ability to hurt themselves or other people you know like they'll do that when
00:47:06.940
somebody's getting committed like let's say committed to being under you know permanent
00:47:11.660
care and they're going to do an assessment and say okay well this is person mentally stable to
00:47:15.240
be able to function in society and be able to make decisions that aren't going to harm themselves or
00:47:19.740
other people and if they can decide well this person isn't in the mental state to be able to
00:47:23.480
do that then they take steps for whatever so they could apply that the same way if someone just says
00:47:28.580
well i'm mentally ill and or is that what you said if they say they're they're mentally ill and they
00:47:33.500
want to take part is that what you're saying yeah yeah like the change is happening in this march
00:47:38.600
where they say if they're mentally ill enough based on i don't know what parameters then they'll
00:47:42.860
be like okay we can help you unalive yourself that's all it takes
00:47:46.680
that's what i said so like you take and is there an age for this well that's another thing
00:47:55.840
apparently they're offering it to mature minors as well it's evil bro so that's what i'm saying
00:48:02.420
so like you you talk like look at the level of i mean i don't know i don't know how old you are
00:48:07.440
i think we're about the same age but do you remember like when you were young did you ever
00:48:09.980
hear about teen suicides like you do today uh to the level i guess a little bit there was always
00:48:19.300
the whole thing of you know people cutting themselves right yeah yeah yeah i remember
00:48:24.600
that but but i mean obviously there was like they didn't exist but i remember it being like
00:48:29.720
an epidemic to the point where it is now where the amount of kids that have committed suicide at a
00:48:34.220
young young age you know and there's like that netflix show you know what was that one 13 reasons
00:48:39.960
why and shows like that that kind of like kind of not promote they kind of glamorize it in a way
00:48:45.420
you know what i mean so i think now nowadays it's become so much more commonplace where it's not
00:48:51.180
thought of as crazy as you know to us it would have been i think back in the day
00:48:55.080
and so things like this and you're saying if there's no age or young adults or adults that
00:48:59.160
you know we mature adults well imagine they're being bullied like crazy at school and it's been
00:49:04.900
going on for a month and their parents don't know about it and they're crying in their room every
00:49:08.180
day and they're heavily depressed because they're being bullied and then they go say well i'm
00:49:12.260
mentally unstable and i want this to happen well that look at that that was maybe a month of their
00:49:18.980
life they were feeling like this and they're making a decision based on that you're not looking
00:49:23.160
at those factors you can't just take somebody at the word on that and just say okay well you know
00:49:28.080
i'm looking at you today you're saying this and that's it i get it it's it's a real fine line
00:49:32.060
because it's like well who are you to say you can't do that but i don't know it's it speaks to
00:49:37.480
a very fundamental flaw in you know our priorities like just as a nation if we're thinking that
00:49:46.520
yeah you know you getting better yeah i don't think that's gonna happen you know let's just
00:49:52.300
take this option it's like yeah you you you finding brighter days yeah well you know it's
00:49:58.940
probably not gonna it's the opposite of a growth mindset this is kind of getting into more like
00:50:03.880
you know self-help mental guru stuff but it's like you that you can have you can have a fixed
00:50:07.940
mindset or a growth mindset and this whole pushing made onto mentally ill people is basically saying
00:50:14.980
yeah it's a fixed mindset you're not going to change you're not going to grow
0.95
00:50:18.860
you're terminally this person you are terminally a loser in high school like like what the bullies
0.84
00:50:26.080
are calling you those labels are real yeah and you should just end it exactly it's awful but you
0.86
00:50:32.260
know what I think it's like it's on page at least for Canada I feel like it's on page with the way
00:50:38.980
our system works look at our health care it's not preventative it's reactive right if you go in
00:50:46.900
there and say okay well you know I'm pretty sure you know they won't do blood tests they won't do
00:50:50.600
things on you if you think you have something or you know if you're showing signs of having a
00:50:55.340
possibility of cancer until something actually happens they're not diagnosing it and then they're
00:50:59.180
starting treatment at that point but they're not preventative right there are we don't have a
00:51:02.960
preventive health care system we have a total reactive health care system um just an example
00:51:07.500
of this i tried to get find out what my blood type was years back and they wouldn't do it they
00:51:11.000
wouldn't do the test i said i'll pay for the test i said no we won't do it there's no reason for us
00:51:14.500
needing this test right now so we're not going to do it and i said but i have a right to know my own
00:51:19.680
blood type like why can't i just pay to have the test done if it costs money and they're like no
00:51:23.460
they refused to do it when i was down in padama i got it done for five bucks and found out my
00:51:28.700
blood type but you know but they wouldn't do it so it's just they they control the health care
00:51:32.920
system because it's a social system so they don't want to they don't want to be preventative and do
00:51:37.640
tests and do all these things are going to cost money so that's the way they work so
00:51:40.580
this is in line with the way they're going because it takes way more effort to say we're
00:51:45.560
going to fix the problem someone comes in that has a mental issue you know it's like saying someone
00:51:50.540
that uh let's say marriage counselor right so someone going saying we got marital problems
1.00
00:51:57.740
say okay well here sign this you're divorced well that's it done it's easy solved you know
00:52:03.860
it doesn't work it doesn't work then it doesn't work and just separate or you go to a therapist
00:52:07.380
and you work through it and you figure it out and you fix it you might or you might not but
00:52:10.700
there's an avenue of possibly fixing it so this is what it is with made it's like well they're not
00:52:15.400
making any effort to say there's any other alternative like you said they're reiterating
0.95
00:52:18.960
yeah you're right you're a loser and nothing's going right and nothing ever will go right
0.71
00:52:22.640
there's no other answers this is your answer do this and that's the problem is we're not in a
0.98
00:52:27.700
system where it's actually just like all big pharma there's no there's no money in helping
00:52:33.360
people really help people yeah yeah i'm seeing comments on on youtube and facebook right now
00:52:41.500
they're talking about depopulation uh i oh i got a super chat here a couple from viking insane for
00:52:46.480
five dollars and two dollars thanks man uh imagine thinking that the climate is on borrowed time but
00:52:52.760
our overspent broken social services are sustainable uk pensions uk pensions are gone
00:52:59.320
we are next uh he also says maid opens the door for mandatory death panels oh boy say that again
00:53:07.460
maid opens the door for mandatory death panels i'm not sure what he means by that yeah i don't
00:53:14.320
know um it certainly opens the door to a lot of stuff though in terms of like
00:53:19.720
it the fact that we're warming up to to rationalizing it i was like oh he just got
00:53:27.260
made man i was talking to somebody on maverick news maverick news on youtube he's got a big
00:53:32.160
channel he was talking about how somebody who he knows like it happened just the other like
00:53:36.240
they went out for dinner it's like yeah tomorrow's the day i'm no way it's creepy as hell man like
00:53:42.440
we're already in the dystopia it's oh man and and and and it just flies in the face of so much of
00:53:52.100
the liberal party rhetoric we believe in equality and love and mass migrations come move here come
0.98
00:53:58.060
move to canada and it's like oh are you depressed yeah you should oh you can't afford your can't
00:54:03.120
afford your apartment yeah we got a solution for that oh what's the solution it's in your life
00:54:08.000
that's this um and it's so bizarre to be like you see these things it's so funny because i say this
00:54:13.940
all the time if you took half of the stuff that happens in real life and just put it in a movie
00:54:17.660
everybody watched a movie they're like oh that's bizarre yeah no it never happened that would never
00:54:21.360
happen never happened yeah and then it doesn't they don't they don't catch it like you watch
00:54:25.480
every episode of black mirror and there's you know there's versions of it happening in the world and
00:54:30.320
people don't see it you know and uh yeah it's it's it just if it's a norm you just like i said
00:54:37.100
you do it long enough or you just start slowly introducing it get people warmed up to it and
00:54:42.340
all of a sudden it's not a bizarre thing but then you look back when they go how did we get here
00:54:45.520
how are we at a place right now where this is normal or this is allowed or this is even
00:54:50.500
contemplated and it's like i don't know man all right that's a that's a perfect segue into our
00:54:56.960
into our last segment here but uh for those who don't know uh this is bal i met him at the trucker
00:55:02.440
convoy uh and yeah i just thought we'd hop on and do like a kind of state of the country
00:55:07.880
but uh i'll introduce this clip here so essentially you know what i'm just gonna play it but it's
00:55:14.040
this is on ctv news okay so this is a clip from c news i want to make sure that bell you can
00:55:22.120
switch it up you'll be able to hear that okay ready here we go
00:55:32.440
The relationship isn't necessarily romantic or sexual in nature.
00:55:43.020
It could be as simple as a coffee date or going to a movie.
00:55:46.420
It's free money, right? People do anything for money.
00:55:49.680
Among the top-rated universities in Canada using the service were U of T, York, Waterloo, McGill, Carlton,
00:55:56.220
while Dalhousie University was the top maritime school, ranking 19th in number of members.
00:56:02.440
Adam Stewart is a sociology professor at Crandall University.
00:56:05.740
He says it's easy to see the motivation students have to use such a service.
00:56:09.900
More Canadians than ever, or 20% are graduating from the university.
00:56:19.440
He adds tuition fees have increased to almost three times as much as they were in 1990,
00:56:26.940
And Canadian annual household income hasn't kept pace with inflation,
00:56:30.880
putting students in a vulnerable position to seek what could be considered unacceptable needs of funding.
00:56:36.600
If the red sugar mommy came into my life and offered me a diamond ring, of course, of course I'd take that diamond ring.
1.00
00:56:43.560
Some students say while they see the appeal in having a sugar daddy or a sugar mommy,
00:56:48.760
getting paid to hang out with someone seems just a little too desperate.
00:56:53.120
I guess if that's the only way they can spend time with me, that's kind of odd, isn't it?
00:56:56.360
The report explains that sugar baby students in Canada receive an average monthly allowance of $2,925, which is double the amount earned working at a part-time job at national minimum wage.
00:57:09.380
Stewart says it's time to look at the bigger picture.
00:57:12.120
They're seeking out socially unacceptable options to meet a socially acceptable goal.
00:57:17.200
A socially acceptable goal of graduating university with the least amount of debt weighing down their bank accounts.
00:57:31.340
can i believe it yeah just the fact that they're they're talking about this on ctv news
00:57:40.480
and what pisses me off is they didn't use the p word once it's prostitution yep it's
0.59
00:57:47.800
prostitution that's the word for it ctv like we're not going to use it's like the softening
0.90
00:57:52.560
of language once again of oh well it's just a it's just another form of income are you kidding
00:57:57.980
me it's so it's so wild it's so wild it's so wild but again it's like
00:58:04.480
it's people taking you know the people that let's say have money or power or whatever they're taking
00:58:12.760
advantage of a situation that they see and they're just going to manipulate it into something that's
00:58:17.700
beneficial to them like you know so instead of actually they're not out there philanthropists
00:58:22.360
that are like oh well i have x amount of money and i'll just donate it to you know the university
00:58:27.840
that they can divvy it up and help pay off student debts and this or that they're not looking for
00:58:31.720
that they're not philanthropists they're like they're probably some rich rich people that are
00:58:35.800
lonely and like oh here i'll just do this because i get something out of it so you know that and
00:58:41.940
there's always a world where that like you said prostitution all these things there's these things
00:58:45.780
exist for a reason and they instead of instead of looking at how this is hurting society or
00:58:52.380
you know why or asking the question of why we have gotten to a point where this is something
00:58:57.540
now that's a reality um they're just yeah they're showing it on news like oh this is an option for
00:59:02.560
people i guess and this is you know what should we do about it yeah yeah and and for me it's not
00:59:08.280
so much that something like that exists like seeking arrangement only fans although the the
00:59:16.940
widespread sort of soft acceptance of only fans really messed up again like this is an app where
00:59:23.820
anyone over 18 can start casually prostituting like that's more people should be talking about
0.52
00:59:31.340
this uh and then of course the only thing they say is like wow like kendall jenner made a million
00:59:36.440
dollars or like it's crazy how much the top earners yeah i know uh you you lose bits of
00:59:42.200
your soul though you're watching so don't don't do it um but it's it's not so much all of that
00:59:48.100
it's the fact that ctv is putting this on their news channel and like this is what we're gonna
00:59:53.900
talk about we're gonna talk about rationalizing uh this lifestyle to the canadian public it's like
01:00:00.240
out of all the things you could be talking about because it's not news anymore like those mainstream
01:00:05.140
ones they're not news it's just entertainment right so they're all some version of an entertainment
01:00:09.720
channel so they're just gonna they're basically they're they're the internet's version of click
01:00:14.580
baiting you know like they're just gonna get something that's gonna draw attention so people
01:00:18.840
watch them because they're trying to stay relevant somehow for people actually watching because they
01:00:22.640
don't have any thing they're real stuff they're reporting on because it's that's not their agenda
01:00:29.200
they don't actually want real news in the world anymore because it's just gonna wake too many
01:00:33.040
people up to you turn the other way see i don't i don't even know if i buy that and you're you're
01:00:39.440
right with most news you're right with most news they're looking for clicks they're looking they're
01:00:44.240
looking to entertain people they they want the the watch time they want all that stuff but because
01:00:49.480
they need the money but guess what in canada they don't really need the money it's all subsidized
01:00:54.460
by daddy government and it's not entertaining like ctv cbc i'm sorry your stuff's not entertaining
01:01:01.300
your clickbait's weak your clickbait's weak and it really feels like they're just i don't know for
01:01:06.260
me it's like this just feels like some soft propaganda like yeah we're gonna promote this
01:01:10.920
idea to the canadian public and and that's why this clip pisses me off so much because it's like
01:01:16.480
moms dads families everywhere like oh yeah they're seeking arrangements yeah okay like
01:01:23.080
gtv seems to think it's uh something rational like well like what do you think oh yeah whatever
01:01:29.160
like it's like i don't know it's well but that's saying there's a limited there's such limited
01:01:35.220
content for them to do like you said they're they're paid by government to you know so what
01:01:40.280
are they going to do they're going to report on anything else happening in this country which is
01:01:43.180
going to be negatively impacting the current government in part so they can't report on that
01:01:48.120
so what do they have they're like looking through what do we report on oh there's this
01:01:51.780
yeah that's a good point yeah no i don't no no don't talk about the grocery prices don't talk
01:01:57.760
about that no no no no can't talk about that that's uh it's a bad look for uh the person who
01:02:02.360
pays us what's your what's your gas price right now oh brother um f i i've been trying not to
01:02:11.580
drive around i haven't filled up in a while because i because i'm pretty i just go get
01:02:15.620
groceries every now and then i don't i'm not driving around i don't know it's like 160 any
01:02:21.380
anywhere between 160 and 180 usually so much ours is finally since since danielle's come into power
01:02:30.100
she's pushing back pushing back and i think they stopped one of the one of the carbon taxes from
01:02:34.360
taking effect and then they lowered something for the heating so our gas today i think was 127 so
01:02:39.720
yeah what oh my god so well have you heard of the phenomena of there's all these ads here in
01:02:48.040
toronto about alberta dude i was in vc over the summer and uh my buddy who still lives or calls
01:02:54.580
me up he's like did you just hear this ad i was like i was in my car i was like oh i heard it
01:02:58.820
and he's all like what is this they're like hardcore pumping it i was like
01:03:02.880
yeah i know i wish they'd stop i'm like i know i came over but i don't want any more
01:03:07.860
um yeah they're pumping it but it's i know they're playing them everywhere but the influx
01:03:13.560
has been crazy out here oh you've you've noticed it oh dude everybody i talk to every second person
01:03:19.380
i run into a like i'm from toronto from toronto or from bc oh so they're promoting it in bc too
01:03:25.980
yeah well i mean it's people people want freedom man you know it's it's that simple and i i feel
01:03:34.340
like especially people who are not all about mandates and lockdown they're it's almost like
01:03:40.660
they're skittish now like they're kind of getting like you know how do i know this isn't going to
01:03:44.560
happen again you know and uh yeah it's just it's a very kind of anxious place to be right
01:03:51.040
well that was the thing when they lifted the um the mandate for masks and vaccine travel within
01:03:57.260
canada and then um and then internationally when it was on october i think right yeah and um and i
01:04:07.120
said to my wife i was like if you want to book something book it now because i guarantee by
01:04:10.360
winter it's going to come back and she goes what i said well that's that's usually the timeline of
01:04:15.460
how they do these things so i think you know we got a small window here before they start bringing
01:04:19.040
them back and so it was like finally felt like we're moving in the right direction and then
01:04:23.940
it was a couple like a month or two went by and i just was not you know again not paying attention
01:04:29.920
to social media news or anything and i came across this clip of trudeau walking into some pharmacy
01:04:35.120
getting a shot and i literally thought i came across an old video from like early 2021 of him
01:04:42.760
doing this oh i'm getting a booster shot or exact for canadians and the way he talks your impression
01:04:49.680
is so good of him i love it but um you know and i'm watching this video him getting a flu shot
01:04:54.440
and a new booster or whatever and i honestly thought it was an old video and then i was like
01:04:58.360
oh wait a minute this is new he's doing this now yeah and i was like people are still getting
01:05:02.800
boosters and i was literally i felt like i was in a twilight zone i'm like this is still the same
01:05:08.060
bs the same stories the same lines the same everything going on over and over and over
01:05:12.740
and they're still doing it and people are still buying it but it's it's crazy to me like i'm like
01:05:17.300
i can't believe this is still happening the same way yeah well we built a factory don't you know
01:05:22.560
a moderna factory yeah so more and more mrna injections oh we gotta make some money here
0.75
01:05:31.000
dial gotta make some money hand out did you did you see the the one news story that came out about
01:05:39.480
the moderna ceo talking about their new vaccine or not vaccine sorry new injection to repair
01:05:48.020
part of the heart what was i gotta pull it up it was basically
01:05:52.720
repairing the heart damage the heart muscle damage that happens after a heart attack
01:05:58.260
or something to do yeah and it was funny because it was like year to the date was they're like
01:06:06.080
talking about having their vaccine released and then a year to the day it was like oh now we have
01:06:12.080
something to repair all the heart damage is going to happen when you have your heart attack from
01:06:14.680
getting the vaccine and i was like oh my goodness i was just like losing my mind over reading this
01:06:18.780
i was like this is so in the face like so on the nose and like no one's catching it i'm like it's
01:06:23.380
right there in front of your face i'll put i have it here somewhere no no i'm about to grab it right
01:06:27.660
now um moderna ceo confirms new mrna injection to repair heart muscles after heart attack
01:06:38.100
well that's convenient how convenient yeah that's it is create the problem find a solution
01:06:45.300
man you already had the solution so now you just got to create the problem so you have a reason
01:06:49.960
to push a product that's how it works oh brother yeah yeah i mean so we'll we'll wrap it up here
01:06:58.180
soon val but uh i guess you know how how how are we going to try to wake more of the country
01:07:06.840
it seems that people are only waking up when it really affects them
01:07:10.680
there is there any cheat code or is there anything that that we can be
01:07:14.400
i don't know make people up to what's going on keep in mind i'm in toronto right not in there
01:07:23.920
you know everyone high fives and doesn't like trudeau and uh doesn't like ottawa and all that
01:07:32.360
stuff so it's a lot harder for you for sure um move to alberta is that the solution
01:07:40.300
no no no we need you guys out there we need the ones fighting out there because
01:07:45.500
you know we need it all spread out everywhere but it's i i wish i wish there was a magic button
01:07:51.380
where you could just wake everybody up but you know if history's told us anything it's
01:07:55.440
change takes time and um especially when you're fighting authoritative figures you know so
01:08:03.440
the pushback just has to be consistent because the problem is a lot of people will fight fight fight
01:08:08.300
and then not because it's getting too hard or they're not seeing the results
01:08:12.820
or it's financially unable to, whatever the reason.
01:08:15.880
There's a million reasons to not be able to do what you're doing.
01:08:18.160
But, you know, change doesn't happen overnight.
01:08:24.500
You know, there's protests happening every day.
01:08:32.240
And I was like, yeah, well, you think that because you live in a different world.
01:08:35.580
you know you don't understand the pressures that are happening and you also aren't clearly seeing
01:08:39.960
where it's going you know everything is just a test to see if the next thing can happen you know
01:08:44.400
the vaccine passports were just to see if digital ids will work you know these are all just steps
01:08:50.160
towards another process that a lot of people know about and that's why we continue to fight
01:08:54.660
to keep that pendulum from completely swinging one way so we're going to keep pushing it
01:08:59.280
hoping it stays here or kind of comes back the other way so unfortunately i don't think there's a
01:09:04.700
quick button to wake people up. I think we just got to keep doing what we're doing,
01:09:08.660
keep having these conversations. And I think the most important thing is trying to find people that
01:09:14.960
disagree or have a different mindset or have a different viewpoint, have a different opinion,
01:09:20.560
and just having rational conversations for them to try to understand a different viewpoint.
01:09:27.560
Because arguing with them or battling back or bashing them, I mean, as much as we all want to
01:09:31.520
do it because it's natural to be like hello mcfly wake up you know like it's it doesn't work right
01:09:38.780
because it wouldn't work with us you know if someone was screaming in our face put on a mask
01:09:42.560
right right it would be you'd be you know in one ear and out the other because you'd be like you
01:09:46.980
don't know what you're talking about so if we scream it back in their face they're not hearing
01:09:49.880
it either so it's a slow grueling process i think yeah you gotta keep doing it i was laughing to
01:09:56.780
myself earlier because uh viking insane said he sent another super chat two dollars he said
01:10:02.540
the cheat code is total economic disaster that's what's gonna wake well that's that's happening
01:10:10.580
that's happening regardless i mean we're watching it happen it's insane the meltdown that's happening
01:10:16.600
so but you got to remember that's not a cheat code to get things fixed okay so that's and that
01:10:23.020
might not necessarily even wake people up either because because they might continue to
01:10:27.180
believe the narrative which is like you know there's total economic disaster because of
01:10:31.480
putin there's total economic disaster because of unjabbed people there's total economic disaster
1.00
01:10:37.160
because of danielle smith actually and albertans that is that is why uh they'll find it's easy to
01:10:44.200
point the finger and make some excuse for why it's happening and blame somebody for it but
01:10:48.240
what they're not understanding is you look at all these things that we're talking about
01:10:50.960
you're talking about made you're talking about sugar daddies and sugar mommies all these things
01:10:57.200
in place so let's say tomorrow complete economic chaos and complete disaster and everything starts
01:11:03.420
to fall apart well who's it going to fall apart for rich and powerful no no because those sugar
0.95
01:11:09.280
mommy and daddy are just going to have a bigger pool of people to take care of you know made will
1.00
01:11:15.380
just have a lot more people that want to you know have people lined up yeah because they're all now
01:11:20.440
don't have a home and they can't feed their families and you're going to have disparity
01:11:24.260
everywhere and all these programs that are being put in place are just going to have more avenues
01:11:28.720
to be thriving the rich get rich and they always will they'll always survive that you know when
01:11:33.380
you saw the crash in 2008 in um in the states look how many more billionaires popped out after that
01:11:40.580
because the people that had money and you had to take advantage of it and come out ahead so
01:11:44.520
thinking that we're going to have this collapse of economy and it's going to fix something
01:11:48.360
we're not going to fix anything the government's just going to be like oh my goodness i guess we
01:11:51.460
got to do things differently that's not how it works right you know so i mean unfortunately i
01:11:56.340
don't think we're in a path right now which we're not we're easily in a recession or heading in a
01:12:01.760
recession and it's going to be pretty ugly for a while i think that's unavoidable but i don't think
01:12:06.060
that alone is just some answer or that's going to just naturally fix things it won't yeah i i do
01:12:13.240
want to push back on one thing though because i think you're right having an open and honest
01:12:18.000
conversation is you know yelling at people isn't going to work you got to have an open and honest
01:12:22.560
conversation however i would argue that only works with people who are actually
01:12:26.740
and i and i think for the people who are closed-minded i feel like uh and maybe this
01:12:34.760
tactic doesn't really work but you know i ran for politics in 20 and when you're talking to
01:12:40.420
someone who's close-minded explaining it expelling it out in that never works uh you know and
01:12:47.380
sometimes you might even make progress or they might say whatever whatever and then you know
01:12:51.460
they'll go back to sleep and it's like the conversation never happened i'm at the point
01:12:55.540
now where if it's someone who's maybe like in the matrix and they're in their own kind of world
01:13:00.960
it's not worth trying to explain it however trying to just shame them and ridicule them
01:13:09.500
and like kind of like make fun of them like if you're gonna have the time not yelling at them
01:13:13.380
necessarily but kind of but kind of like using social pressure in the way that they kind of do
01:13:20.000
it against us don't worry it's like oh my god you're not jabbed or oh my god you're not wearing
01:13:24.580
a mask and just kind of like not having any sort of uh logical explanation but just being like i
01:13:31.840
think you know if it was a if it was a pro mandate person and they're closed-minded me just telling
01:13:38.780
you're a child abuser and i think what you're doing is horrible and i'm not going to explain
0.87
01:13:43.980
myself like you know what i mean like just kind of you know and just kind of moving on yeah don't
0.97
01:13:48.960
get me wrong that i don't have those same feelings that i don't have those same thoughts of like
01:13:55.160
outraged inside right like outrage of being like oh my goodness well this is what you're doing to
01:14:00.440
us this is how you treat us this is how you respond to our position so i'm gonna do the
01:14:06.560
exact same thing back and just be like well you know i'll i'll give it back to you the way you're
01:14:11.820
giving it to me and hopefully maybe you'll you know wake up about it but again as much and i do
01:14:17.380
it it's not like i'm like never do it you know like i'll have those moments where i'll have getting
01:14:21.400
these arguments and it's like crazy to me but always what i take away from it is that it never
01:14:27.780
seems to work and i always just look back to myself and say well did they were they successful
01:14:32.680
in changing my mind about anything no right so i wasn't successful in changing their mind about
01:14:37.460
anything so where does that get us does that actually move us forward it doesn't move us
01:14:41.580
forward so it's not an easy thing to do and sometimes it's just for personal
01:14:45.440
release or you know just venting to get it out i get that approach of like just being like well
01:14:52.820
listen and accommodate you know what you do a lot of times with your comic relief and when you make
01:14:57.660
fun of those things you're i don't think you're doing it to for them you're doing it for us you
01:15:05.120
know what i mean like you're not you're not getting some guy out there being like oh my
01:15:07.880
goodness like oh yeah we do look that ridiculous or we do sound that ridiculous oh right but you're
01:15:12.540
you're giving you're you're supporting all the people that do agree with you or do believe you
0.92
01:15:17.680
it's getting a comic relief of saying you know it's funny too and so in that way you're supporting
01:15:22.500
our thought process of saying yeah there is some insanity to it and we can recognize there's
01:15:26.500
to it but we're the ones recognizing they're not recognizing from that aspect of it but i think
01:15:31.420
it's still important like you said i think that that argument or doing it that way is still
01:15:34.760
important in some circles but to change the mindset of the people that's opposed to us i
01:15:39.320
don't know if they'll work because they may not like you said who was it was i think it was bob
01:15:45.260
marley who said uh you can change some people sometimes but you can't change all the people
01:15:50.680
all the time i can't remember the exact line oh you're gonna fool people uh most of the time
01:15:55.900
but you can't fool all the people all the time all the time exactly so you know that that's that's
01:16:00.800
a real real thing in this world you're gonna you know it's gonna happen you can't fool everybody
01:16:04.580
all the time and and in that same token you can't change everybody's opinion either you know
01:16:10.420
in the reverse way of looking at it so there's going to be some people that no matter what you
01:16:15.820
say no matter what kind of rationale or statistic or proof or anything you could show them they're
01:16:21.780
going to change their mind so that's batting your head against a wall i would say just seek out the
01:16:26.800
people that are even possibly open to possibly having a conversation and then maybe go through
01:16:31.780
them because if they start to think things differently they're in circles with people
01:16:36.660
that possibly would never have a conversation with you but they might have a conversation with
01:16:40.640
them and they might say something that will lead them down that path and it's just baby steps
01:16:44.880
at that point i think yeah and i think on that no there is a lot there's a lot to it you know
01:16:51.540
like it's uh everyone has their own journey when it comes to waking up to what's going on
01:16:56.160
and you're right when it when it comes to the comedy i i do make it is based on our reality
01:17:02.280
because there is different realities kind of going on one when the government has done wrong
01:17:07.260
and uh you know if you don't carbon tax world's gonna that reality and then there's our reality
01:17:14.460
yeah yeah but uh i guess like part of my argument as to why to you know not necessarily always
01:17:23.820
debate and explain thing is like if you make the person feel uncomfortable there's a chance
01:17:31.280
that they actually might self-reflect and think about because i found if you do engage with
01:17:37.520
somebody who is has already made their mind up yeah they almost like just dig their heels in
01:17:43.440
even more and just kind of repeat same programming um and and you might say oh well you know you can
01:17:51.120
kind of get into the nuances and like make some progress i found when i do that with people and
01:17:55.560
i've made progress and i take the time to explain it they just go to sleep and i talk to them the
01:17:59.440
next day and it's like it never happened like it's like the conversation never happened whereas
01:18:04.280
if i try to just uh you know ridicule them and make a joke about them and make them feel
01:18:11.160
uncomfortable and like socially shame them they'll like they'll be upset and they'll be like oh that
01:18:16.280
really that pissed me out and you know maybe they'll dig their their heels in more but it's
01:18:21.900
kind of the idea that you know they'll kick and scream and kick and scream until finally they're
01:18:26.080
like you know what you were right have you seen that have you seen that happen no
0.99
01:18:30.700
i think i think i'm just trying to make excuses to uh be uh be a dick
0.99
01:18:37.560
no because it it i totally get it because you're made to believe you're insane for what you think
0.99
01:18:48.540
and so you want to let them know hey listen to me you are insane for what you think you got to
01:18:54.440
realize you're not just in the right because you said it yeah you know i have my opinion my opinion
0.99
01:18:58.500
is you're completely insane and i have every right to tell you that and i should be able to tell you
0.87
01:19:01.820
that and i'm gonna tell you that and i think there's nothing wrong with that i think that's
0.99
01:19:05.120
great way to actually yeah there's some people possibly that would break to be like possibly i
01:19:09.700
i don't know i don't think so i suppose part of my rationale is to look at what the enemy is doing
01:19:16.880
and you know i i ran for pp whatever and like so often it you're this you're that you're an
01:19:24.900
ism you're all these things and uh you know it made me really uncomfortable and it really kind
01:19:31.580
have rattled me a lot and obviously i have to fight through that but for everyone else who
01:19:36.620
falls in line oh i don't want to be called this or i don't want to be called that i'm uncomfortable
01:19:41.700
oh i better just i better just uh obey but then again maybe that's the tactic of like
01:19:50.240
i'm thinking from that perspective well it's the fear right so like i said it's fear is the
01:19:58.660
biggest motivator out there so these people like when they got brainwashed of you know you got to
01:20:03.440
get jabbed for grandma so grandma doesn't die and you know they could hold on to that and believe
01:20:08.700
that if i'm doing something right i'm doing the right choice here so you know there's a self
01:20:14.000
righteousness of the two of saying well i'm i'm better than you because i made the decision for
01:20:18.300
other people that made no sense and they weren't doing it but they were told that you know so but
01:20:22.500
like to play devil's advocate you know if i was saying to you like how many times have you been
01:20:26.680
told by not just people but like the government the news and the media and all these things
01:20:31.100
that you're killing people by not getting vaccinated you're killing people by not
01:20:34.980
wearing a mask has any of those have those any of those times have you sat there in a mirror and
01:20:39.340
gone hmm maybe i should yeah um no exactly that's what i mean like i that's how all i ever think is
01:20:49.760
that yeah they could tell me they could push it on me and call me names for it but i'm not gonna
01:20:53.760
all of a sudden be like oh maybe and do you think for everyone else that caved it didn't work on
01:21:01.440
them either the only thing that worked on them well i want it well i want to go to well i want
01:21:06.820
to be able i think there's a huge portion of that because i know people personally that
01:21:11.840
there are very few people who are actually like oh yeah
01:21:16.240
i think there was i think that was a very small percentage of people that actually thought they
01:21:24.640
were doing it is you know save someone else's life i think they probably were for sure out
01:21:27.840
there i know they were but i think a lot of people there was a ton of people out there that
01:21:32.000
were just like i couldn't care less i don't i know they were like rationally i can think that
01:21:37.960
it's not going to kill me i'm not going to get severely sick from getting the vaccine but
01:21:41.860
i'm sick and tired of being told i can't do this and this and this and so i'm going to take it for
01:21:45.740
those reasons i know people personally that did that so i can attest to a guarantee there's a
01:21:50.660
huge part of people that did it for those reasons but um but that's what they created they created
01:21:56.520
such a strong hold and then they gave them a way out and people didn't didn't feel strongly enough
01:22:02.020
i mean i'm i love traveling i've traveled a lot in my life and i've been you know really struggling
01:22:08.100
with not being able to do it but it was a choice of saying well my that's the reality i have to
01:22:12.880
live with right now and that's if it means i can't go see the world i can't go traveling i can't do
01:22:16.640
this because we were so excited when our kid was born to be like oh we're gonna you know travel
01:22:20.200
around show him the entire world and and that was our excitement to do that and we haven't been able
01:22:24.820
