four more years tom foolery yes this episode is called a mockery longest ballot committee now
00:01:47.800
we're going to have a by-election coming up here in the next uh next month or so now pierre polyev
00:01:54.040
has taken the seat not taken uh damien kurik our previous mp has volunteered his seat for pierre
00:01:59.900
polyev to take for the next by-election okay which means that it will give pierre polyev the chance to
00:02:05.640
run the conservative party again and actually have a decent opposition in our house of parliament
00:02:10.060
now based on what's been going on since the last federal election there's been quite a bit of
00:02:14.960
philandering quite a bit of bullshit that's been going on when it comes to this longest ballot
00:02:20.020
committee ladies and gentlemen a bunch of people that are trying to think keep things fair as so
00:02:24.380
to speak now i've got the wikipedia page ready to go and show you is all here in a timely manner
00:02:30.060
okay but uh from being a candidate back in 2021 for the veterans coalition party we had roughly about
00:02:36.660
six people on the ballot and i drove around a good part of this writing to meet and mingle with people
00:02:42.400
shake hands talk about their problems talk about the economy talk about uh the whole pandemic issue
00:02:47.400
the jibby jabs and the mass crap and all this crap and i try to really really relate to a lot of the
00:02:51.580
candidates in this area and believe it or not yours truly here got around 177 votes during that election
00:02:57.400
so 177 people come out and said yes to me to represent them prime and to me i take that as a good
00:03:04.360
compliment people who ever knew me from anything or anywhere at all gave me a chance voted for me and i took
00:03:10.880
that to heart and thank you very much now of course i was beat up by damian kurik nice guy good leader
00:03:16.920
good strong moral values good family values and just an all-around decent guy you know and that is
00:03:23.580
gave me an insight on the federal process in this country when it comes to running an election
00:03:28.780
or being part of the federal political scheme of things now we all heard about this longest ballot
00:03:36.840
committee especially when it came to the carlton writer polyev's writing where they had something
00:03:41.780
like 90 candidates on a ballot now i'm going to queue up a video here for my friends uh from northern
00:03:46.860
perspective who basically break down the bs of the longest ballot committee okay and it just keeps
00:03:53.600
proving that the democracy in this country our democracy is being being well it already was compromised
00:04:01.960
by the trudeau government and it is compromised by the carny blarney uh crowd but these group these
00:04:08.120
people at the longest ballot committee and i'll just queue this up here for you ladies and gentlemen
00:04:12.400
and i want you to read along at your leisure okay and i want you to understand something here
00:04:18.800
that these individuals i really don't think are in it for for us here i really don't think they
00:04:24.360
really care about what they are doing now according to the longest ballot committee the wikipedia page
00:04:31.640
you know they're probably the most idiosyncrant you know i don't know they're just idiots but still
00:04:36.280
excuse me uh the longest ballot committee is a political movement in canada at one time
00:04:43.600
affiliated with the rhinoceros party now those guys were funny back in the day uh known for flooding
00:04:49.300
ballots with a large number of independent candidates in protest of the first past the post
00:04:53.420
voting system the movement argues there is a conflict of interest when politicians are in charge of
00:04:59.080
election rules and advocates for election law to be decided by a permanent independent and non-partisan
00:05:04.940
party body sorry such as citizens assembly now that sounds good on paper okay it does all right but
00:05:13.080
there's rules and regulations that are put in our place in order to run a fair election now we could
00:05:19.460
both argue we could all argue my wonderful audience out there how our election is it needs work
00:05:26.040
and i agree the first past the post system is pretty terrible okay it basically comes down to the
00:05:32.400
basis of what's happening in ontario and quebec the densely populated parts of this country but i'm
00:05:38.380
digressing here the history the movement began garnering national attention after participating in the
00:05:43.520
2022 mississauga lakeshore federal by-election and in the 2023 winnipeg south central federal by-election
00:05:49.520
and the 2024 st paul's federal by-election the committee's actions have prompted amendments to
00:05:55.380
election laws to accommodate a greater number of names on the ballots and generate significant
00:06:00.520
controversy now when you bombard any kind of ballot in any riding or any district my american listeners
00:06:05.840
out there you confuse the voter you do i don't care how you dress it up you are confusing the voter
00:06:13.540
when a voter a taxpayer anyone wants to go out and vote for the better person represent their needs
00:06:18.100
what they want in parliament and you throw 100 or 150 names at them you are taking away their right
00:06:25.940
you are taking away their right so if anybody in the long ballot committee is watching this
00:06:32.660
fuck you stop fucking around with people and start owning your shit you think you're standing up for
00:06:39.700
something here anyhow in the june 2024 uh st toronto st paul's federal by-election it took hours for
00:06:46.840
elections canada workers to count all the ballots while polls closed at 8 30 p.m eastern time the final
00:06:52.500
results were not known till about 4 30 a.m the agency said it was bogged down because there were
00:06:57.180
dozens of candidates on the unwieldy nearly meter long ballots some of whom were proportion
00:07:02.680
proportional representation activists running as a protest to the country's first past the post voting
00:07:08.160
system in the 2025 federal election the longest ballot committee targeted the carlton riding in the
00:07:13.840
ottawa area where conservative leader pierre paulet was running the committee spokesperson
00:07:17.860
thomas sukowich declared the efforts that highlighted electoral reform during the election
00:07:23.560
uh as success and made criticisms of their methods okay and i'll leave this link in uh the description

get out there by all means okay but like i said i'm going to queue up this page here
00:09:34.180
and uh there's some interesting interesting tidbits here from people that uh just really don't give a
00:09:41.900
shit okay now this is from the battle river crowfoot writing my writing and this is voter information
00:09:48.520
service brought to you by elections canada now what i will do is i'll give you an example of this
00:09:53.400
i will show it to you okay this is from elections canada and this is the list of all the candidates
00:09:59.100
on here okay and uh bear with me it's quite disgusting okay now you have oh jesus 105 i believe
00:10:10.320
now look at all these people here okay look at all these people they're all confirmed right they're all
00:10:17.380
allowed to run that's fine right but they're all independent okay this part of the province in
00:10:24.560
alberta here where i live has been predominantly conservative since christ was a cowboy okay now i've
00:10:31.780
actually sat and i've read bonnie critchley's uh little thing there and she's actually got some
00:10:36.800
decent talking points you know she's a veteran to ex-military so she actually has some decent
00:10:42.080
talking points so i say she's more of a legitimate candidate because she's actually going around
00:10:46.200
and talking to people okay i don't agree with all of her policies but she's all right now there's a lot
00:10:51.620
of people on this list that are not independent there's the libertarian candidate i've actually think
00:10:57.520
i've talked to mr mike harris at one time decent lad okay right and there's another candidate here
00:11:04.660
from the united party of canada and of course pierre polyev down here right conservative party
00:11:10.340
but i'm going to leave this link in my description ladies and gentlemen and you'll come across some
00:11:17.300
interesting talking points right it's basically just a satire of uh of all these candidates who think
00:11:25.980
they're doing us a favor in this country okay like i said i'll leave this link in my description for you
00:11:31.600
and you can decide from there but it's just these clowns at the longest ballot committee
00:11:36.060
are doing nothing but making a mockery okay making a total mockery of of the voting system
00:11:42.620
whether you agree with it or not whether you like it or not that's fine you as a canadian as a voter
00:11:48.900
as a taxpayer as a citizen have every right to agree or disagree but when you get these clowns here
00:11:54.220
who think they're protesting for a better day they are not
00:11:58.420
okay people when they vote they just want to go and vote and be left alone they don't want to be
00:12:04.840
bombarded with propaganda they don't want to be told that if you vote for this guy you're this
00:12:09.060
or if you vote for that person you're that if you don't get your jibby jab you'll kill grandma
00:12:13.180
we all heard it before okay we've all seen it before to my american friends up here or out down there
00:12:19.380
correction it's it's just turning into a shit show it is okay regardless of what the tariff thing is
00:12:27.280
going on right now or not the point is is that we have a lot of trouble here in canada we have got
00:12:32.840
some really really shady leaders we've got some terrible bureaucrats and there's too much money
00:12:37.240
being squandered on things and we have an electoral system in here that is not providing to be fair
00:12:45.080
and just it's just being messed with okay there's also some talk to about about 121 000 ballots that were
00:12:53.020
not counted in the last federal election and what i'll do is i'll leave a link to my friends uh
00:12:57.860
ryan and tanya from northern perspective and they have a great story on that too apparently there's
00:13:03.760
some issues with ballots in bc and in quebec right so elections canada has really got to start
00:13:09.460
smartening up when it comes to getting things done here ladies and gentlemen really got to smarten up
00:13:14.260
okay we're not seeing the professionalism we're not seeing dedication we're not seeing we're not
00:13:21.560
seeing fairness okay let me know what you think in the comments give me a thumbs up all that good stuff
00:13:27.080
too and it's just it's just turning ridiculous okay and i have to admit the past year after watching
00:13:34.960
all the rhetoric after watching all the turmoil after watching all the vile clips and the slamming
00:13:41.300
and the insults back and forth we really don't have leaders like we should we really don't have a lot
00:13:49.340
of leadership that should be there for us we don't now what i don't like about peer polyeth is that yes
00:13:56.340
he is a career politician but he understands the economics and he understands how things need to
00:14:02.100
work in this country and today right now they also have a symposium in huntsville ontario where all
00:14:08.480
the premiers and blarney carnier together talking about mineral reform or not mineral reform mineral
00:14:14.040
development um natural resource development but as far as i'm concerned it's all just malarkey
00:14:20.960
it's all talk right it's all it's all talk it's got nothing to stand on because the past 10 years
00:14:27.460
if this liberal government really really wanted to bring things to market they would
00:14:30.200
okay and now they keep talking about the tariffs now they keep talking about how it's going to impact
00:14:35.640
canadians well the only tariffs are going to impact canadians are the tariffs that this liberal
00:14:41.260
government is putting on our natural resources the steel to build the cars the steel to build the
00:14:45.940
infrastructure because you got to throw in the carbon tax there right you got to save the trees
00:14:50.560
when we make things in this country right yes of course because can i just love those taxes
00:14:55.940
we just got to love these taxes and make everything just fantastic right oh my goodness oh my goodness
00:15:01.600
we're going to take more money from you right there's also a thing on ctv news today too that
00:15:06.480
was saying that stats canada basically said that canadians are paying a lot of taxes 43 percent of
00:15:11.440
our income 43 percent taxes that includes income taxes the gst that includes psts in certain provinces
00:15:18.540
nhst the harmonized sales taxes not to mention what you pay taxes on these filthy things and uh taxes
00:15:25.180
for everything else from gasoline to picking your nose to blowing in the wind all that good stuff

00:16:20.380
that good stuff so back to the whole mockery longest ballot committee i'm all for reforming when it comes
00:16:25.880
to proper elections and proper representation i'm a firm believer in the saying not the person not the
00:16:32.700
party but the people and the country basically the constituents and the country too it's not the person
00:16:39.360
not the party but the constituents and the country i think that's the better platform
00:16:44.280
to follow in our parliamentary system you can you can use that in the republic system too to my
00:16:49.000
friends in the states right it doesn't matter if you're democrat or republican doesn't matter what
00:16:53.940
kind of person you are you're there to represent your people to the best of your ability ideally
00:17:00.260
you're supposed to do that whether it be a parliamentary whether it be republic system
00:17:04.820
or any any good democratic system at all and democracy is not perfect ladies and gentlemen we all know
00:17:09.960
this democracy is not perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than authoritarianism and totalitarianism
00:17:14.580
too okay now what gets me is that people bought the whole people bought the bs people bought
00:17:24.340
the charm people bought the fear the whole elbows up up up brigade has constantly
00:17:30.220
a crow and it's glorious it is glorious for the simple reason that we told you so
00:17:37.200
we told you so it's projected that the government wants to spend more money on and outside interests
00:17:43.360
now they want to upgrade our military but how are they going to do that they got to make money
00:17:47.760
somehow right you would say they cut from the top i know they want to cut some public service jobs
00:17:52.440
okay which is understandable but i'd say they should go higher they should retire some lifelong
00:17:58.260
bureaucrats they should retire some older generals in our military that have hung on and sat in an office
00:18:03.080
for the better part of 10 years okay and they should cut some staff from a lot of these political
00:18:08.380
offices okay not the public works not the public people that get out there and actually make sure
00:18:14.140
that people can get their ids on time and people need passports on time don't cut there cut higher
00:18:20.360
okay now apparently the cra is under scrutiny because people are trying to get the refunds people trying
00:18:26.580
to get a hold of them and the website is insufficient information is insufficient and yet they have roughly
00:18:32.260
about 65 000 plus people working for revenue can as we speak i had a lovely conversation about two
00:18:38.320
months ago when they started garnishing my wages for god's sakes they got time to do that i got time
00:18:44.240
to pick on a guy like me and say we're going to take more of your money because you owe us yet i served
00:18:50.060
my country for 20 years but i still owe them a lot of money go figure right interesting right so we're
00:18:59.060
starting to see things crack at the seams ladies and gentlemen we're starting to see a whole new
00:19:04.120
spectrum when it comes to leadership and what's what's being done what's not being done here okay
00:19:10.440
but in other news too ozzy osbourne died today one of rock and roll greats i was never really a big
00:19:18.260
giant fan of black sabbath nor was i a giant fan of ozzy osbourne but needless to say it's sad to see
00:19:24.520
him go because he did influence a lot of artists out there he did win hearts and minds with his
00:19:29.120
theatrics the whole biting the head off a bat thing you know caused controversy back and i think it was
00:19:34.820
1980 i'm not sure one of my fans out there please let me know weigh me and correct me if i'm wrong
00:19:39.940
but uh you know that big reality show he had back in the early 2000s with him and his family
00:19:45.140
you know the osbournes you know shaman that kind of thing but uh that's a shame and he just did a
00:19:51.660
reunion tour with black sabbath with it just a few weeks back too so rest in peace ozzy osbourne you
00:19:57.100
have influenced a lot of good music out there uh regardless of how you feel about the man or not
00:20:02.540
so rest in peace ozzy and uh malcolm jamal warner the guy who played theo on the cosby show
00:20:08.320
apparently he drowned in costa rica on a family vacation uh i used to i used to like the cosby show
00:20:15.360
before all the controversy with bill cosby and his behind the behind closed doors antics
00:20:21.560
however but it was a decent show when i was a kid growing up so rest in peace mr malcolm jamal
00:20:27.240
warner my condolences to your family and uh just it's just interesting times we live in ladies and
00:20:33.740
gentlemen regards to the entertainment world regardless of political world we have to be
00:20:39.880
diligent we have to keep our wits about us okay you know people keep talking about donald trump
00:20:47.040
and the whole epstein issue i personally don't care anymore what i care about is what this country
00:20:54.160
has to say i really don't care uh who is involved with it anymore because i think the light will shine
00:21:01.260
on those naughty people and justice will prevail that's just my personal intake that's just my
00:21:07.420
personal view on it all too my concern is with canada right now my concern is with the country that i
00:21:12.380
serve for that i live in and that i love i'm a canadian i'm not afraid to admit it and i'm not ashamed
00:21:18.960
to wave the flag i'm not and now the news too that the crown prosecutor wants to make sure that tamara
00:21:26.680
leak or lich and chris barber get seven years behind bars for standing up for this country
00:21:32.520
now i wonder where the crown prosecutors are when it comes to the individuals that have thrown bricks
00:21:38.440
and taken shots at synagogues where are these crown prosecutors when it comes to people that
00:21:43.520
have broken into homes and threatened families stolen cars and have done things at gunpoint with illegal
00:21:48.820
guns where's the crown prosecution on those individuals see the contrast in this country is we
00:21:57.480
have a two-tier policing system if they agree with what you're doing they'll leave you alone if they
00:22:02.100
don't agree with what you're doing then they'll throw the book at you now whether you agree with the
00:22:06.600
convoy or not if someone organizes a peaceful protest which the convoy was
00:22:12.080
then why is it so important to throw the book at them and yet when individuals in the greater
00:22:18.120
toronto area montreal area break into homes and threaten families and threaten their livelihoods
00:22:22.780
or their lives how come they're passed you know they're passed through the system and released within
00:22:28.640
the next day or within the day of their arrests it's a contrast ladies and gentlemen we have to start
00:22:34.040
thinking about that okay so some exciting times coming our way ladies and gentlemen some real exciting
00:22:42.820
times but that does not give us an excuse to be rotten to people that does not give us an excuse to
00:22:50.700
lie and cheat and to just let things pass too last month i was really on this kick about men's mental
00:22:58.200
health too and it affects everybody mental health affects everybody too but especially the men out
00:23:05.060
there and i'm not trying to be biased ladies and gentlemen and i know i've said some things out
00:23:08.800
there to certain wives and certain girlfriends and people that love their men but i'm going to remind
00:23:16.700
you all again too that if there's somebody in your life somebody that you know personally
00:23:21.040
and they're going through a hard time just be there to listen to them just be there to be that
00:23:28.320
friend to be that boost to be the pillar of hope right like i said i've been on tiktok for a while too
00:23:37.260
and every time i scroll through it i do see certain tidbits where there's a lot of women out there that
00:23:41.740
are backing up men's mental health and i'm like well done ladies thank you very much that is excellent
00:23:46.320
i'm happy that is really good and i appreciate that and i've actually had some people in my
00:23:55.120
little circle who have reached out to me two and one to talk to me about things and i am ever so
00:24:00.800
grateful too so the men out there that are struggling to the men out there that are having a hard time
00:24:05.380
don't hesitate to open up and speak out okay and to the ladies out there that are standing by these men
00:24:14.560
your brothers your fathers your boyfriends your husbands or just work acquaintances or friends in
00:24:20.040
general don't be shy to give them a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to things are tough all
00:24:27.420
over for everybody there are people out there that are still resilient they're still giving 100 percent
00:24:31.440
and hats off to you but there are people out there that are breaking down and they might need a boost
00:24:36.440
gone are the days where you have to keep telling people to fuck it up and carry on
00:24:40.640
because you're not falling off the swing set here scraping your knee there are good men out there
00:24:45.900
that are going to work every day giving 100 percent paying their bills keeping the lights on
00:24:51.560
doing their part not just for king and country but for family and for friends
00:24:58.100
and things can pile up things can get pretty nasty and sometimes a guy just needs someone to listen
00:25:08.280
so ladies and gentlemen just my advice to you is be the listener and just be there
00:25:14.520
anyhow i have been crusty canuck on this 22nd of july 2025 weather is good it's still going to be hot
00:25:22.500
outside so don't forget to hydrate keep your wits about you too keep yourselves busy do what you can
00:25:28.040
help you in these trying times don't be shy to give someone a hand don't be shy to offer someone a hand
00:25:32.880
and don't be shy to take a hand too once in a while nothing wrong with someone offering assistance
00:25:38.340
and you taking that assistance at all too this is about trade and commerce and trying to be decent
00:25:44.100
with people and that's all we can do in these trying times just try to be decent try to be good
00:25:48.620
just try to be fair and reasonable don't take but don't take any shit in the process
00:25:52.900
right what else can we do you know i i don't want to see people in both of our democracies in canada
00:26:02.480
or the united states rage in the streets i like to see fairness and i want to see the equality of
00:26:08.260
opportunity for everybody it's not going to be perfect some might go with some might go without
00:26:13.980
but that's just the balance of things okay we can't change what happened 300 years ago or 200 years
00:26:20.580
ago we just had to live in the now and we better start living in the now okay progress is when
00:26:26.580
things advance where it helps everybody not just bits and pieces here and there where it helps
00:26:32.080
everybody right anyway that's not my peace hippie love bantering right now i guess i do what you can
00:26:39.080
help you out in these trying times be good to people right okay for your friends and your loved ones
00:26:43.880

00:26:49.140
you can to be civil and to be considerate and be kind and don't worry what the other guy's doing
00:26:54.100
