00:00:00.000 I'm a Canadian. My name is Greg. This is Trash Talk, where I usually go over five trash takes
00:00:04.920 in five minutes. But today, we're going to need a garbage truck, especially here in Ontario,
00:00:11.020 Canada, where they're trying to bring back mask mandates. We're also going to cover kids being 0.89
00:00:16.340 in the hospital and a little bit of some trash takes on Remembrance Day. But I'm going to try
00:00:21.500 to stay as calm as possible because some of this stuff is really, really upsetting. So let's just
00:00:26.560 jump into it. From Theo Modakis, please enjoy my hashtag mask up cartoon for Tuesday's Toronto
00:00:33.760 Star. Let's read it, shall we? Mask up, Ontario. And if you won't do it for yourself, then do
00:00:40.220 it for us kids. She's making me feel unfree. First of all, it's very interesting that this
00:00:47.260 dropped on Monday, November 14th, the exact same day that Doug Ford is basically saying
00:00:53.600 urging people to mask up, but not necessarily saying that it's a mandate. It's very interesting
00:00:58.960 that this political cartoon is released the exact same day. It's almost like this cartoon
00:01:05.500 is supporting the new policy or messaging from Doug Ford. Isn't that interesting? But the
00:01:12.460 theme we're going to see today is using children as a bargaining chip. Isn't that nice? So I kid
00:01:18.200 not right as I'm scrolling Twitter right next to this cartoon, I see this CTV news post. U.S.
00:01:24.360 study finds huge increase in children going to the emergency room with suicidal thoughts. Isn't
00:01:31.200 that nice? Of course, I made the tongue in cheek comment probably because they saw grownups
00:01:36.100 bringing back mask mandates. And I know that we're in Canada and that's a study from the U.S.
00:01:41.300 But still, I think the point still stands. Okay, this is something that's not talked about how
00:01:46.300 depressed children become when they're forced to stay inside and forced to wear masks. But of course,
00:01:52.860 no politicians, no journalists in this country seem to want to talk about that, right? Next,
00:01:57.320 we have a clip from Dr. Kieran Moore, who is now telling parents of toddlers to wear a mask inside
00:02:02.340 their own home if they have the sniffles. And I believe he said as young as two years old should be
00:02:07.540 wearing a mask. If I'm a monk to, let's say, a toddler and I wake up with the sniffles,
00:02:11.600 you're saying I should be masking at home? I'm sorry, but you should. You should be doing good
00:02:16.580 hand hygiene, cleaning surfaces, masking as best you can to decrease the risk to that child.
00:02:21.660 What a piece of garbage. Did he bring up any studies or, you know, peer-reviewed things to
00:02:26.940 support that? I'm sure he has them, but still, it's besides the fact. Here's a tweet from
00:02:30.880 TheFerryman'sTold, who brought up this clip from Kieran Moore over a year ago. He tweets,
00:02:36.440 a year ago, Kieran Moore, we just needed masks until enough people got jabbed because the jabs 0.99
00:02:41.140 totally would stop the spread, bro. They lie again and again, counting on people being too stupid
00:02:46.140 to remember what they said before. Let's see what he said over a year ago.
00:02:49.660 The March date next year for masking potentially to be lifted.
00:02:54.980 By March, we hope we've maximized our immunization strategy in Ontario, that we have more Ontarians
00:03:01.080 immunized to the point that this virus doesn't have a host in which it can reproduce. To the point
00:03:06.360 that this virus doesn't have a host in which it can reproduce.
00:03:10.500 And so this is important. Back then, the carrot on the stick was, hey, get immunized and then,
00:03:17.320 you know, we won't have the mask mandates anymore.
00:03:19.260 And then we will have to learn to live with this virus. And then we will have to learn to live
00:03:24.600 with this virus. We'll have our third dose strategies will be completed. Our immunization
00:03:32.280 strategy for children from 5 to 11 will have been completed.
00:03:36.600 So they're pushing the immunization on children as well. And that's important because there seems 0.62
00:03:42.560 to be a lot of extra children in the hospital more than ever before seen. Not sure if that's related or
00:03:47.820 not, but let's continue. So we're seeing, here's a tweet, a trash take from Tara Sloan.
00:03:55.980 Good God, stop kvetching about masks and save some lives. Far less convenient to have sick babies 1.00
00:04:02.600 who can't get an ICU bed than it is for us to put a thin piece of fabric over our faces when we go to
00:04:07.920 the grocery store. This has over a thousand likes, 1700 likes. Wow. So this is without any science,
00:04:16.020 without any clear connection, there's all these people with check marks in Canada coming out saying
00:04:21.440 there's a strong connection between kids being sick and you not wearing a mask. Where's the connection?
00:04:27.620 Where's the actual scientific connection between the two? We don't care about that. We're just going to
00:04:32.100 scare the shit out of you and keep repeating this lie over and over again. And two other things to add. 0.62
00:04:36.480 After two to three years of being stuck inside, socially distancing, living in a sterile environment,
00:04:43.740 you are not going to develop a proper immune system. These poor children probably have very weak immune
00:04:49.700 systems now. Once again, is anybody talking about that? Is any doctor or expert talking about that?
00:04:56.840 And furthermore, Canada is facing a shortage of kids' pain medications and antibiotics, if I'm not mistaken.
00:05:03.540 And all of these experts and scientists and everybody are saying, well, you need to wear a mask.
00:05:09.420 You need to wear a mask? What about the shortage of medication for children? Why is that happening?
00:05:15.040 Let's talk about that. Instead of blaming it on somebody for not wearing a mask. It's ridiculous.
00:05:20.560 And here is a journalist from the Globe and Mail, a national reporter, no less. Christy Kirkup says,
00:05:26.220 imagine driving as fast as you could to the ER with the baby in the back seat and fearing she is
00:05:31.540 struggling to breathe. You hear wailing that tells you breath is going in. You move fast to get to the
00:05:37.180 door, but inside the hospital is overrun with children just like yours. Now, imagine a month
00:05:41.960 later after your sick baby seemingly recovered from RSV, the bark is back. You're back to monitoring
00:05:47.260 breathing and feeling helpless. You're teetering on another ER visit where help is in short supply.
00:05:52.860 Imagine you were a journalist and you actually reported on facts and information. Imagine you were a
00:05:58.620 journalist and you asked questions about why so many kids might be in the hospital. Imagine,
00:06:04.060 imagine that. And then I want to shout outs to Ian Rodin. He's a great guy on Twitter, PPC supporter.
00:06:09.300 He says, are you an actual reporter? Any facts or data or just raw emotion? Kids get sick. Hospitals are
00:06:14.780 always overrun during cold and flu season and hospitals that receive generous funding are mismanaged.
00:06:19.820 Also, hire back the unjabbed. Absolutely right. I'm actually going to retweet that. 1.00
00:06:24.980 So it's just more and more fear mongering. Hey, this is because people didn't wear masks.
00:06:29.540 What sources? Trust me, bro. That's why the kids are in the hospital. This next one's from Colin
00:06:33.660 DeMello. He is the Queens Park Bureau Chief Global News Toronto. New sick kids hospital is delaying
00:06:39.940 surgeries to preserve critical care capacity amid a pediatric crisis in the province. One sick kids
00:06:46.080 doc tells me he has never seen anything like this in his 18 year career. Hmm. What has changed?
00:06:54.980 Recently. Is there anything that's been different that we've been doing to children that has changed?
00:07:00.180 And of course, I responded to this saying, ever since forced masking and injecting kids with synthetic
00:07:05.660 mRNA, sick kids hospital has never been busier. Huh? It was interesting. Sick kids hospital has never
00:07:13.960 been busier since ads like this have come out. Now that COVID-19 vaccines are authorized for children
00:07:19.240 age six months and up. You probably have questions. Information is available. Information is available.
00:07:25.640 I did a more in-depth video that you can check out on my TikTok. I don't always go in-depth with
00:07:31.260 jabby jab stuff here on YouTube and Facebook for fill in the blank why. But I will show you a little bit
00:07:37.620 of this information. You know, we're curious. Why are all these kids in the hospital? It's never been seen
00:07:43.260 before. Let's look at the own information on the government of Canada website. Okay. This is for
00:07:49.220 for children. Uh, so impacts of on children and youth, most children and youth who get 19 have mild
00:07:58.180 or no symptoms. They mentioned one rare, but serious complication called multi-system inflammatory
00:08:03.820 syndrome. Again, they don't have the statistics of how often this happens, but they do say the majority
00:08:08.740 of children and adolescents in Canada who have had this condition have fully recovered with treatment.
00:08:13.840 So even when kids are exposed to COVID-19, most of them recover from the worst of the worst kind
00:08:20.000 of symptoms. Now on the same page, when you go to possible side effects, oh my goodness, there is two
00:08:25.620 entire pages dedicated to a possible side effects. Let's read one, shall we? Rare reactions that have
00:08:32.420 been reported as with all jabs. There's a very small chance that there will be a serious side effect.
00:08:38.520 Okay. Let's continue. mRNA jabs, myocarditis and pericarditis. And then look at this,
00:08:44.840 what it says. Myocarditis and pericarditis seem to be occurring more often than expected in some
00:08:51.220 populations. It is a very, there's a very small chance, but it's also happening more often than
00:08:58.440 expected in some populations. This is directly from the government of Canada website on jabs and these
00:09:04.780 injections. And if you look at this, there is a whole list of rare reactions, myocarditis,
00:09:10.740 pericarditis, Bell's palsy, facial paralysis, blood clots with low platelets, capillary leak syndrome,
00:09:17.660 Guillain-Barre syndrome. And again, if you compare this to the impacts of the actual virus,
00:09:23.760 it's mild or no symptoms. And even in the worst case scenario of a single side effect,
00:09:29.940 multi-system inflammatory syndrome, the majority of children and adolescents in Canada who have this
00:09:34.240 condition have fully recovered with treatment. And back when I checked this website in October,
00:09:38.760 it said the jabs were shown to provide very good protection against infection in the two months
00:09:44.820 after injection. Only two months? I was looking on the website just now. I couldn't find it. It looks
00:09:51.800 like they've made the website much more complicated. I don't have the patience to look for it. But two
00:09:55.940 months only with this injection? I would love to see some more statistics on this, considering we
00:10:02.600 care so much about children and not wanting to fill up the sick kids hospital with them. But all we're
00:10:07.660 seeing are tweets like this. Hey, stop worrying about masks. Just put your masks on so kids don't
00:10:12.560 have to go to the hospital, okay? Don't you care about us kids? Oh yeah, I just don't want to wear a
00:10:17.440 mask. And it's like, and it's like, can we just, can we please start asking the important questions
00:10:22.280 here? While I was researching for this, I found this headline from 2008. Argentina investigates
00:10:28.280 deaths of injected kids. Argentina authorities are exploring a possible link between the deaths
00:10:34.600 of 14 children, 14 only children, and the experimental jab they were taking in a clinical trial
00:10:41.020 run by GSK. Wow. So they are investigating it. They're looking into it. That's, that's good to
00:10:46.980 know. Considering sick kids doctors is seeing something that they have never seen before. Is that,
00:10:51.900 is that worth an investigation? Is that worth an investigation into these injectable products
00:10:57.480 that were, if I'm not mistaken, were only approved under an emergency? And then in completely unrelated
00:11:03.920 news, the poster boy for Argentina's jab campaign has died suddenly of bilateral pneumonia. Santino
00:11:13.180 Godoy Blanco was rushed to hospital due to fever and vomiting before passing. His mom says he took off
00:11:19.340 his mask and gave her little kisses because he couldn't talk anymore.
00:11:25.180 Rest in peace, Santino. Hopefully the grownups start asking questions.
00:11:32.260 This is brutal, man. Moving on to Remembrance Day. We got a tweet here from Jason.
00:11:36.920 Many Canadians are sickened by Pierre Polyev politicizing Remembrance Day to score cheap
00:11:42.360 political points. Are you one of those many Canadians? And he's linking to a holiday in Cambodia
00:11:47.160 because Trudeau was not in Canada for Remembrance Day. And I've seen comparisons in the past where
00:11:52.760 Stephen Harper was not always in Canada for Remembrance Day. I don't think the prime minister
00:11:56.760 needs to be in Canada for Remembrance Day. However, the difference is Harper, when he was overseas
00:12:02.000 during Remembrance Day, he went to a ceremony. He paid his respects. He did, he did a moment of
00:12:06.440 silence. He did what he needed to do to pay respect to Canadian veterans. Did Trudeau do that when he was
00:12:11.760 in Cambodia? Did he go out of his way to do that? Probably not. But this is an absolutely trash take.
00:12:16.360 Don't politicize Remembrance Day. It's pretty obvious why people would politicize Remembrance
00:12:20.640 Day, especially when we have veterans being completely disregarded and demoralized in this
00:12:26.480 country by an entitled, ungrateful political class and news media institution. And especially after the
00:12:33.900 past three years, when our charter rights are being walked all over. Veterans fought and died for freedom.
00:12:39.680 They didn't fight and die to wear masks and be compliant with whatever the government says.
00:12:45.920 But I wanted to focus on Ed the Sock for a minute, who agreed with this tweet. Yes,
00:12:50.400 don't politicize Remembrance Day. Yeah, okay, Ed the Sock. Let's see what he has to say.
00:12:55.780 Today, I am rocking the poppy for Remembrance Day 2022 in honor of those who serves and those who
00:13:01.440 serve today to keep our country free so that whiners can block a city and harass citizens for two weeks 0.99
00:13:07.120 while claiming they have no freedom. First of all, it was three weeks. Second of all, there's a lot of
00:13:12.040 people claiming that we had no freedom. In fact, one of the people who wrote the Charter of Rights
00:13:16.500 and Freedoms was complaining that we didn't have freedom. Brian Peckford was there with the
00:13:21.240 protesters. That's something that people do not talk about nearly enough, that the writer,
00:13:26.480 one of the authors of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom, was there to protest along with
00:13:32.480 the Trucker Convoy. And to call everyone who was there some misinformed whiner, Daniel Bulford was
00:13:38.960 a former sniper and security detail for Justin Trudeau, who was there at the Trucker Convoy
00:13:45.360 protest like he wouldn't know anything about freedom or for standing up for what's right.
00:13:50.400 And if you look back to a year ago, I couldn't leave the country. I couldn't go to a gym. I couldn't
00:13:54.860 go into a restaurant. Freedoms were obviously on the downtrend. You know what I mean? They're acting
00:14:00.620 like it's like a myth that our freedoms were being taken away. It's so disingenuous. And the thing is,
00:14:05.980 is like, you know, whiners know these are Canadians who are smart and have foresight. That's who is at
00:14:10.500 this Trucker Convoy. People who have foresight of like, yeah, this doesn't look good. This doesn't
00:14:15.400 look good at all. And of course, it connects to Remembrance Day because we are knowing our history.
00:14:21.300 We are remembering what's happened in the past. And we are like, hey, we don't want it to get to that
00:14:25.000 point. And that's the whole point that the Trucker Convoy process was there. It's a bunch of smart
00:14:28.960 Canadians with foresight. And this next trash take comes from Captain Kobe. I really hope this guy
00:14:34.800 is fake because his takes are just absolute trash. It's kind of entertaining though. Everyone suffered
00:14:40.420 during the global pandemic. Just some of us stepped up and did our part and others honked.
00:14:46.480 What did stepping up accomplish exactly? This stepping up, you masked up, you jabbed up,
00:14:53.720 you shut down all these small businesses. You know, you complied with every single thing that the
00:14:58.280 government told you to do. What happened? Hundreds of thousands of small businesses got shut down and
00:15:02.560 will never open again from lockdowns. Youth suicides, drug overdoses have gone up. You stayed
00:15:07.340 inside, you wore a mask, you socially distanced, you ostracized your family for not agreeing with you.
00:15:12.120 Trust amongst Canadians is at an all-time low. Yeah, you really stepped up, right, to rip apart
00:15:17.980 society. And how about passports? You did your part. You gave the Canadian government the right
00:15:24.240 to track and control you, quarantine you with the Arrive Can app, take all your data away.
00:15:29.960 Yeah, you really stepped up, bro. You really stepped up. You stepped up and said, hey,
00:15:33.880 hey, government, fuck with me anytime you want. Yeah, yeah. Good job, bro. Good job. Thanks for
00:15:39.880 stepping up and doing your part. There is no nobility in this level of compliance to rules that just don't
00:15:46.100 make sense and a whole bunch of other stuff that just doesn't make sense. And on the other hand,
00:15:50.520 what did the honking accomplish? Well, once the honking started, a bunch of provinces dropped their
00:15:57.560 mask mandates. They started to repeal restrictions immediately. And now a lot of mask mandates and
00:16:03.880 other jab mandates have gone away. There's still a lot that people have still still have to suffer
00:16:08.820 through and still have to deal with that we still have to get rid of. But the honking actually did
00:16:12.940 something. It actually did something. You're welcome. You're complying with everything that Justin
00:16:19.680 Trudeau said has totally fucked our country, to be quite honest. And I know people might say,
00:16:25.320 oh, you shouldn't be so mean. You shouldn't be so mean. I'm just telling it like it is, okay?
00:16:29.320 Like if these people want to feel uncomfortable that I'm kind of calling them out for being these
00:16:33.500 like compliant little sheep. Yeah, good. You should think about what you've done. You should think
00:16:38.000 about your values and your priorities and what kind of country you want to live in. Because if you
00:16:42.440 haven't noticed, people like this are being catered to way too much in their kind of insulated little
00:16:47.280 echo chamber where everything is comfortable and everything's nice and I just need to listen to
00:16:50.720 what Justin Trudeau and what Teresa Tam says. And that mentality of safety, that mentality of
00:16:56.160 sheltering yourself from opinions that disagree with you, that's poison. That's poison. Because
00:17:03.400 it kills critical thinking. Just look around in reality and there's so many things in this country
00:17:07.540 that are getting worse and worse and worse. And it's probably because people like this don't want to
00:17:12.200 question the government, don't want to question anything that's going on. Anyway, that's way too much time on
00:17:16.920 this guy. We have a tweet from Jamie Sale, who is a world champion Olympic gold medalist and freedom
00:17:22.140 fighter. And she had this banger tweet. If you start complying again with masks and segregation papers, 0.57
00:17:26.900 then you have already forgotten Remembrance Day. Those who fought and died for your freedom would be
00:17:31.740 hanging their head in shame. They didn't fight a war for you to bend a knee to the government and be a
00:17:37.580 slave. Well, said Jamie. Love that one. A lot of veterans agree with you. And by the way, I would love to
00:17:44.160 know how many veterans actually disagreed with the trucker convoy. It's probably just these like
00:17:48.840 Royal Canadian Legion types. I doubt any real true veteran even disagreed with the trucker convoy.
00:17:55.740 It would be great to get a poll on that. Anyway, moving on, we have this terrible, absolute trash
00:18:02.060 take, of course, from Dean Blundell, our number one trash man. We love Dean Blundell and his trash
00:18:08.600 takes like a five-year-old. I don't even know where this tweet's coming from, to be honest, but it's so
00:18:13.320 entertaining. Any Canadian veterans want to weigh in on Jamie Sale mocking your lives, careers,
00:18:20.600 sacrifice for a QAnon meme by this trash bag? I'm sorry, did Dean Blundell just call a Canadian
00:18:28.100 Olympic gold medalist a trash bag? Are you okay, Dean? Are you okay? First of all, how is this mocking
00:18:37.680 the lives, careers, and sacrifice of veterans? It's a Remembrance Day tweet, bro, where she's saying,
00:18:46.100 hey, people fought and died for freedom and we should stand up for freedom. You know, how is this
00:18:51.660 mocking the life, career, or sacrifice of a Canadian veteran? What are you talking about? And then calling
00:18:57.520 it a QAnon meme? What are you talking about? And that's the thing with people like this. They can't
00:19:03.640 even like have a civil conversation about anything. They just have to say, QAnon, they're
00:19:10.480 mocking veterans. Like, I don't even understand where this is coming from. I don't understand
00:19:15.440 who could even agree with this take at all. I simply replied, where's the QAnon meme? The liberal
00:19:20.780 government was segregating society. You needed a vax pass to leave the country, attend school, 0.82
00:19:26.560 or even have a grand slam inside of Denny's, bro. Unbelievable. We're going to see how many times
00:19:32.100 Dean Blundell gets featured in this trash talk series. It's probably going to be a lot. Here's
00:19:36.160 a couple more bonus trash for you. This is CTV News. I love this. AI tool reveals what cities would
00:19:42.180 look like in 2100 if climate goals not met. So in other words, you took an AI image generator,
00:19:50.220 got this image, and said, hey guys, let's turn this into a headline. Let's turn this into news.
00:19:56.680 To give you an idea, I put the words phantom honking into an AI image generator, and this is
00:20:02.200 what came up. This is not news. This is not news at all. And the funny thing, the way this AI works
00:20:07.240 is it just looks at a whole bunch of photos that have to do with climate change, and then like, you
00:20:12.240 know, generate something based on that. So it's almost like an orgy of propaganda, if you think
00:20:17.380 about it. Like the AI took all the different propaganda images of climate change, and it said,
00:20:22.220 wow, look how spooky this image is. And again, this isn't news. I don't understand how this could
00:20:28.280 be passed off as news. And what's very alarming is if you actually go to the article, it says
00:20:32.040 climate and environment. Like it's actually put in the climate and environment section. If anything,
00:20:37.120 that should be in like the technology AI section. But much like this cartoon from the beginning,
00:20:41.680 it's almost like to make their point, they have to base everything off of a caricature.
00:20:46.260 They have to base everything off of like a character assassination, calling people QAnon,
00:20:50.960 or, you know, using computer generated images to like prove their point. Again, where are the
00:20:58.220 actual facts and statistics that have actually been peer reviewed and challenged by, you know,
00:21:03.680 scientific scrutiny? And then this last one, again, from CTV News is just such a joke. I can't believe
00:21:09.500 it's real. Sean Penn loans Oscar to... I can't even read it. Sean Penn loans Oscar to Zelensky until
00:21:20.960 Ukraine wins war. What is going on? What does this mean? Is this like a humiliation ritual where it's
00:21:29.240 like, yeah, like you're clearly acting, bro. Like here's the Oscar. Or is it like, what does a normie
00:21:35.340 think of this? If somebody who has a Ukraine flag in their bio, like Sean Penn's thinking like,
00:21:40.180 they're like, yeah, like Sean Penn is offering his acting award and that's going to help.
00:21:47.420 Like how, how is this anything other than Sean Penn wanting to get attention? It is so perplexing
00:21:54.340 and weird. And once again, not news, not news, unless the news is about how Sean Penn is an idiot.
00:22:01.140 Can you believe that people think all this Ukraine Zelensky stuff is just theater?
00:22:08.820 Anyway, thanks for putting up with that garbage truck on episode two of Trash Takes. Like,
00:22:13.860 share and subscribe if you're new here. And we're going to...
