00:00:00.880 Hello everybody! I wanted to post an update for you, a little walk and talk.
00:00:08.800 I haven't been posting very much, so I wanted to give you an update on what I've been up to.
00:00:14.720 I have been up north in cottage country, doing some renovations, helping flip a cottage,
00:00:23.680 and honestly it's been great. It's been great to work with my hands for a change, not in front of a
00:00:30.480 computer, not with all the devices all the time. So I've kind of been not following Canadian politics
00:00:38.640 or politics as closely or news as closely. It's been a nice change of pace. Have I missed a lot?
00:00:48.400 I don't know, there's tunnels, there's tampons, there's all sorts of stuff going on.
00:00:56.480 But yeah, I've kind of been taking some time to reflect
00:01:02.000 in terms of, you know, how I want to be effective when I come back. There is a lot of stuff I would
00:01:08.720 like to do and get on. And I do want to take the time to thank everybody who's supported me,
00:01:15.520 whether that's sharing a video, liking a video, or sending money. I really appreciate it.
00:01:23.280 There's a lot that needs to happen in this country. And I feel like there's a lot of spinning of wheels
00:01:31.840 that's happening in terms of like, you know, are we really making any ground? What's actually being
00:01:36.800 effective? So yeah, and I guess like, I do want to kind of encourage people as well that,
00:01:45.200 you know, whatever it is you're doing in your life, I know that everyone wants to try and help,
00:01:51.040 right? They want to try and help and change things and, and try to push the ball, move the ball in the
00:01:56.400 right direction. But I do think there is a sort of toxic cycle that we can get stuck in on Twitter or
00:02:08.080 X and kind of just commiserating about everything that's happening. And I think it's important to
00:02:14.800 kind of check yourself and just your day-to-day life, you know, and your day-to-day routine.
00:02:19.680 Because, uh, sometimes the best thing we can do for the country is to improve ourselves, right?
00:02:26.240 Um, because it is, it is a, uh, you know, we need to win the personal war with ourselves
00:02:35.040 before we can actually, you know, be effective out there on the battlefield.
00:02:40.400 I'm, I'm, I'm too, I'm too lazy to kind of fill in the blanks of what that analogy means,
00:02:46.000 but I think you get the point. Anyway, um, yeah, there are some content things on the horizon.
00:02:52.400 There's a lot of stuff on the back burner, as usual, lots of interviews I'm hoping to post
00:02:57.120 or get out there. But, uh, just wanted to give you an update for now. I'll be working up here for
00:03:02.080 most of the winter. And yeah, I'm kind of getting in touch with, uh, fighting the elements and
00:03:08.240 building houses, cutting wood, making fires, all that fun stuff. So, uh, yeah, anyway,
00:03:17.920 thanks for watching and we'll talk to you soon.
