00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 458 a.m., Sunday, August the 17th, with the
00:00:10.700 big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:11.900 Hope you're having a great weekend so far, and admittedly, I have not been keeping up
00:00:16.720 on what's going on in the news this week.
00:00:18.640 It's been kind of an eventful week for me, and if you have been here before, you know
00:00:22.500 why, but I was in the hospital this week.
00:00:25.140 So I got up this morning.
00:00:26.400 I've been up since about three o'clock.
00:00:27.640 I've been trundling around here with my walker to try to get coffee and things.
00:00:31.860 It takes some time to do that, and I spent some time doom-scrolling on X this morning,
00:00:38.060 and I came across a number of pictures of people who are signing a petition here in Alberta
00:00:42.560 because they love Canada so much.
00:00:45.960 But at the same time, I'm seeing all these tweets on X that makes me realize that Canada, it
00:00:52.860 makes perfect sense, okay?
00:00:55.080 So let me run this through a few of the things that have popped up this morning on my X feed.
00:01:00.740 So there's this one from the Western Standard, BC nurse suspended, fined nearly $94,000 over
00:01:07.320 I love JK Rowling billboard.
00:01:10.100 So this is Amy Hamm.
00:01:11.500 She's a nurse. 1.00
00:01:12.140 She's almost 100 grand into fines because she thinks women should have their own spaces. 1.00
00:01:18.240 And you know what I'm talking about.
00:01:19.840 I don't want to get the YouTube censors into this one.
00:01:22.320 I'm not going to use the T word here, but you know what I'm talking about.
00:01:26.400 Meanwhile, we've got people in Battle River Crowfoot rooting for a woman. 1.00
00:01:33.000 Her name is Bonnie Critchley, who would be fine with having men in women's spaces. 1.00
00:01:38.400 All the while, they're rooting against Pierre Polyev and setting a standard for him in the
00:01:44.200 by-election tomorrow of 80% or he is an absolute failure, okay?
00:01:50.540 Now, why do they hate Pierre Polyev?
00:01:53.000 Why they hate?
00:01:54.100 They hate Pierre Polyev because he pointed out that Canada is broken.
00:01:58.420 Meanwhile, we've got a country that allows this kind of thing to happen here.
00:02:02.220 We don't have proper vetting of immigrants. 1.00
00:02:04.220 We let too many people into the country. 1.00
00:02:05.780 That continues to this day.
00:02:07.740 Man and Kefia threatens Montreal Jew. 1.00
00:02:10.660 It should say Muslim there, but it doesn't.
00:02:13.340 This is the way we kind of sanitize the news today.
00:02:16.220 But this is the country that you're living in.
00:02:18.960 Then we've got this story right here.
00:02:21.240 This was in the Toronto Sun.
00:02:22.700 BC First Nation says 41 more suspected graves found by penetrating radar.
00:02:28.560 And we all know what this is about.
00:02:30.340 This is a hoax.
00:02:31.800 But they continue to push this hoax on the national news.
00:02:35.440 You know, I'm a journalist.
00:02:37.560 I want to get the facts out right.
00:02:39.160 We don't know they are all children's graves, right?
00:02:42.400 Well, I'm there.
00:02:43.920 Of course, there's every possibility that they are not all unmarked graves of children.
00:02:49.320 But with this emerging story for media today and the realization that this is a reality
00:02:56.100 across this country, I believe it's safe to assume that what we're uncovering now are
00:03:03.960 a very large number of unmarked children's graves in Indian residential schools.
00:03:08.960 So she says she wants to get her facts straight.
00:03:11.480 She's a journalist.
00:03:12.840 We don't know that these are actually children's graves.
00:03:15.520 She should be saying that not a single body has been found, not one, since this hoax has
00:03:21.120 been going on here in Canada.
00:03:22.960 And so far, the Canadian government has perpetuated this hoax and spent millions upon millions
00:03:28.300 upon millions of dollars to give it to Indigenous groups across this country to perpetuate the
00:03:32.940 hoax even more.
00:03:34.620 I've got a solution for this problem.
00:03:36.260 Something else I'm seeing a lot of online right now is people rooting against peace.
00:03:47.520 This would be leftists who hate Donald Trump.
00:03:49.760 I don't care how you feel about Donald Trump when it comes to trade negotiations in this
00:03:53.180 country and tariffs.
00:03:54.700 You can feel one way or the other.
00:03:57.120 I'm not happy about it either.
00:03:58.760 But we should be happy that Donald Trump is trying to negotiate peace.
00:04:03.040 But the left hates him so much, they'd rather see a war continue.
00:04:07.160 It's absolutely amazing to see.
00:04:09.300 Donald Trump meets with Putin in Alaska.
00:04:11.560 He wasn't able to negotiate peace, but he's trying to.
00:04:15.180 He's now going to meet with Vladimir Zelensky and try to bring the two sides together so we
00:04:20.460 don't see more death and destruction.
00:04:22.000 But the left just can't get over their Trump derangement syndrome. 0.99
00:04:25.620 People like this nutcase right here, Laura Babcock. 1.00
00:04:29.640 Now, Babcock is a far-leftist podcaster here in Canada. 0.85
00:04:34.320 Are we calling it the disaster in Alaska yet?
00:04:37.340 Laura, instead of rooting against peace, you should be blaming the people who started the
00:04:42.280 war in the first place.
00:04:43.820 And that would be the Democrats.
00:04:45.320 Put this in your pipe and smoke it, Laura.
00:04:47.840 I saw this one early last week, and I didn't have a chance to comment on it.
00:05:03.000 But this is Scott Reed.
00:05:04.260 Now, for those of you who don't know who Scott Reed is, here's a little bit of a history
00:05:08.000 lesson for the kiddies out there.
00:05:09.420 I remember who he is.
00:05:10.660 He used to work for the Paul Martin government.
00:05:12.540 So he's a liberal.
00:05:13.880 And back then, the conservatives wanted to give people about a $1,200 break on childcare.
00:05:18.700 And Reed floated out that all they would do was blow the money on beer and popcorn, and
00:05:23.540 it became a huge scandal. 0.96
00:05:24.660 The guy's a nut job. 0.61
00:05:25.860 So anyway, they put him on national television all the time as some kind of expert. 0.76
00:05:29.760 You saw him a lot during the election campaign.
00:05:31.840 He goes on a podcast and a profanity-laden diatribe on these terrible people who just want the
00:05:37.860 right to walk in the woods, these people who don't step foot in the woods, right, who don't
00:05:45.340 live there, and they don't have any practical experience with this.
00:05:50.840 They decide that this is a nice national review, modern mega argument that they want to elicit.
00:05:56.940 Like, what's the defining characteristic of mega, of this whole sort of, you know, post-COVID,
00:06:04.080 pushback, conservative sort of thought line, small-c conservative, whatever it is, all that
00:06:08.040 convoy conservatism, right?
00:06:09.980 It's selfishness.
00:06:11.640 That's just a short part of a clip that I've got where he drops the F-bomb at least a dozen times.
00:06:17.840 And Scott, you don't start forest fires by walking into the woods.
00:06:21.720 I go into the woods.
00:06:23.220 I never carry cigarettes and matches I don't smoke, and there's no reason for me to have them.
00:06:29.460 And if there's a fire in the woods, I'll stay out.
00:06:32.600 I can make that decision myself.
00:06:34.420 But, Scott, you continue.
00:06:36.560 Comply.
00:06:38.160 And just to let you know, your next injection for COVID is coming up, okay?
00:06:41.460 Just to let you know.
00:06:42.460 Now, this is what really kind of inspired me this morning.
00:06:46.020 It's all of these people who are in this forever Canadian lineup here in Alberta.
00:06:50.760 Now, this is little Tommy Lukasik's petition that does absolutely nothing.
00:06:54.920 Now, here's what you see a lot of right now.
00:06:57.020 Brent Galloway signed and done.
00:06:59.460 I choose Canada thanks to all of the forever Canadian volunteers for helping to keep Canada strong.
00:07:04.640 Do you see the sign in behind them?
00:07:07.320 These people, these clueless people here, think that this petition they're signing will keep Alberta in Canada,
00:07:15.720 and it does nothing of the sort.
00:07:17.780 It does nothing.
00:07:20.960 The status quo will be maintained regardless of how people vote in this.
00:07:27.280 But for some reason, these people you're seeing on the screen right here,
00:07:31.780 think Canada is perfectly fine, 0.96
00:07:34.240 and they want to maintain their place in the freaking nuthouse. 0.97
00:07:39.360 Right here, folks, Alberta strong and free. 0.95
00:07:44.960 Thanks very much for watching.
00:07:46.540 I hope you enjoyed the video.
