Yes, of course, there's big talk about vaccine passports, making them necessary, making them
00:01:56.940
They're talking about it in Britain, Scandinavia, rest of Europe, the United States, and of
00:02:00.740
course, and beloved, the great white north of Canada.
00:02:03.120
But first, I want to get to a story I came across in the Ottawa Citizen.
00:02:08.100
And what I will do is I'll read this for you here.
00:02:13.560
Immigrant from France fails Quebec's French test for newcomers.
00:02:19.340
A guy from France who drives a truck, who's qualified to drive said vehicle, right?
00:02:25.180
Who's qualified to do magical things, and yet he fails the French test.
00:02:36.020
I'll leave a link in the description there for you, too.
00:02:38.280
Immigrant from France fails Quebec's French test for newcomers, and that comes of the
00:02:43.140
He quotes, if I failed it when I'm French, I can understand how someone who is Mexican
00:02:48.000
who doesn't speak French could fail, said the truck driver.
00:02:54.400
If someone from France can fail Quebec's French test for immigrants, how hard is it for non-Francophone
00:03:01.680
Johan Flamin, 39, a truck driver from Limoges, if I'm pronouncing that right, L-I-M-O-G-E-S,
00:03:08.880
Limoges, France, who came to Quebec in 2018 under the Quebec Experience Programme, wasn't too
00:03:14.780
nervous about taking the French test set by the Department of Immigration, France-ization,
00:03:23.380
After all, he'd spoken only French his entire life, aside from a smattering of English picked
00:03:27.540
up in school and a long-hung trucking jobs he took in the United States.
00:03:31.600
But much to his surprise, when he took the test more than a year ago, he failed.
00:03:35.960
If I failed it, he says, when I'm French, I can understand how someone who is Mexican
00:03:40.600
who doesn't speak French could fail, he said in an interview on Sunday.
00:03:43.900
Flamin noted when he first arrived in Quebec, he had passed the test for his professional
00:03:50.640
I think it's ridiculous, he said, and rightfully so.
00:03:53.140
The Quebec Experience Programme fast-tracks permanent residency for foreign students and
00:03:59.700
The Coalition Avigny-Quebec government overhauled the program last year after a widespread controversy
00:04:05.300
over the first failed attempt at reform in 2019.
00:04:09.460
Flamin said he doesn't disagree, in principle, with requiring immigrants to prove they speak
00:04:13.640
French, however, he feels the test should not be so hard, a native French speaker has trouble
00:04:22.040
What tripped him up was the oral comprehension portion, which involved analyzing a recorded
00:04:26.400
conversation from different points of view, including its political content.
00:04:31.900
We all have different levels of concentration, he said.
00:04:36.860
He also feels the delays in obtaining permanent residency are unacceptably long.
00:04:43.360
In July, he retook the French test and passed, but he still is waiting for his selection certificate.
00:04:49.240
Attracted to Quebec by its wide-open spaces and plentiful work opportunities, Flamin has
00:04:53.440
happily settled in the Boos region with his Quebecois wife.
00:04:58.020
If I had wanted to live in a big city like Montreal, I would have stayed in France, he said.
00:05:02.260
In 2019, the province denied Quebec's selection certificate to a PhD student from France after
00:05:08.800
bureaucrats ruled her level of French wasn't adequate because one of the chapters in her
00:05:15.100
This decision was overturned after widespread media coverage.
00:05:21.980
Now, I have personally worked with a lot of Quebecers in my time in the military.
00:05:25.700
And out of all those individuals I have worked with, I might have maybe encountered one individual
00:05:35.300
And I had to remind that individual that he was wearing a Canadian uniform, reserving
00:05:44.160
I guess that bum reality bummed him out, really.
00:05:46.560
But needless to say, I have never had any issues with Quebecers in this country.
00:05:56.420
But the average Quebecer, every time I've drove through Quebec and I've tried my best
00:06:00.520
to speak some French, I've had praise for my efforts.
00:06:09.240
But when I look at a Quebecer, like, let's say, Maxime Bernier or other members of Parliament
00:06:15.100
who are really, really thick, strong French, okay, so be it.
00:06:19.440
And I've met Quebecers that speak English fluently as what you and I do.
00:06:25.820
But what gets me is that when you have one province that puts emphasis on words like
00:06:31.360
Francinization and more or less assimilation to something, why is it such a terrible crime
00:06:46.320
Why is it so bad that, okay, if I'm living in a predominantly English area and I expect
00:06:55.260
people to speak English, but the moment someone complains about that, oh my God, my hands are
00:06:59.760
raised up and all the wreaths are coming out of the goddamn woodwork.
00:07:05.200
How is that unacceptable here yet it's acceptable to Le Bas-Provence?
00:07:10.800
Especially when it happens to a guy and his first language is French, Parisian French,
00:07:17.580
right from France, right from the horse's mouth, right?
00:07:24.480
Let's say if a guy came from Ireland, let's say he came from the Republic of Ireland and
00:07:36.640
I think there's a comprehension that we have to have, especially when people come from different
00:07:41.780
countries that don't speak any English whatsoever, but I really don't think that there's emphasis
00:07:46.680
on that, to be honest with you, because we're all supposed to be diverse and free and all
00:07:50.340
this, but when you throw that kind of crap in there, you make things adverse, right?
00:07:55.780
You constantly make things adverse, which is really unfair, not just to Canadians and English
00:08:03.520
speakers and French speakers, to people that want a better life.
00:08:07.660

00:08:21.140
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, carrying on with a poke and a promise.
00:08:24.120
Yeah, I use the term promise because, you know, when we come to a new nation to build
00:08:29.320
a better life, you try to promise yourself to get ahead, and with little things like that,
00:08:34.360
like language laws and barriers like that, you're not really encouraging people to get
00:08:39.020
You're not encouraging the best that people can be.
00:08:42.320
I personally don't care who comes to Canada for a better life.
00:08:49.420
I don't care what sports you play, whether you play with your friends, play with your loved
00:08:57.040
What I care is that you want a better life, and you're willing to work your ass off to
00:09:01.640
Isn't that what we're all supposed to be doing now, regardless of the pandemic,
00:09:05.000
regardless of the so-called issues that our beloved leaders like to throw down our throats?
00:09:14.060
Like I said, I've worked with a lot of Quebecers that are great people.
00:09:16.440
And I remember a couple of them I actually played hockey with that had trouble understanding
00:09:21.840
And what it comes down to is that being patient and listening.
00:09:25.560
And as long as you can understand each other, as long as you don't expect anyone to write
00:09:31.520
the great Canadian novel or write another fucking thesaurus, or write a dictionary for you,
00:09:45.420
I don't care if you speak French or English, or Swahili, Cantonese, Szechuan, Japanese,
00:09:52.280
I don't care if he speaks Pashto or Farsi or Hindi.
00:10:00.380
It's how you identify as an adult and how you want to express yourself.
00:10:05.720
And if you have a hard time speaking the language, then there's resources out there that can
00:10:09.920
help you vis-a-vis English and vis-a-vis French, too.
00:10:15.440
So, I'm getting so sick and tired of this identity bullshit that numerous tax dollars
00:10:21.360
get invested into just because a handful of people want to live with the comfort of
00:10:31.260
When really there's no superior language in this country.
00:10:33.300
This country was based on English and French perspectives, morals and values.
00:10:41.720
Regardless of what monarchy did this, what monarchy did that.
00:10:45.160
And not to mention the vast amount of languages out there from our First Nations, too.
00:10:51.500
So, while some of these aficionados are squabbling about who's writing a test properly or who's
00:10:56.660
speaking French to the Quebec standard versus the French-Parisian standard, maybe you should
00:11:03.240
look in your backyard and look at some of the Cree languages and the Mohawk languages
00:11:06.480
and the Urquois languages and the Blackfoot languages and the Inuit languages and the
00:11:18.380
While we're squabbling about English and French, let's worry about some of those languages,
00:11:22.500
And there's a vast array of history and choices and opportunities that all those languages
00:11:37.100
But, you know, hats off to that Frenchman who tried to get ahead.
00:11:42.680
You know, shaking his head going, what is this?
00:11:44.640
You know, this is my mother tongue and I failed the language test?
00:11:55.240
This is Brian Boucher, the new CEO of Connaught Gold Corp.
00:11:59.280
We have gold at 99% purity with discounts ranging from $100 up to $200 off the ounce.
00:12:06.100
This is the right place to buy from two gram cards to 400 ounce bricks.
00:12:10.720
We have any quantity of gold you are looking for.
00:12:21.620
In October of 2015, Lindsay Robbins, like many of her fellow Canadians, was struggling with the turmoil of mental illness.
00:12:30.540
The ups and downs of what she was going through was shaping her realities, and she longed for structure.
00:12:36.080
As luck would have it, that structure presented itself to her in the form of gardening.
00:12:40.540
And through gardening, Lindsay had an awakening that led her to create produce for heroes.
00:12:47.260
Lindsay realized that our veterans were going through their own mental struggles, and through her own experience, she realized the power of community.
00:12:54.840
By desiring to help the way that she had been helped, she has created a program that provides relief to veterans.
00:13:01.340
Her food program, which aims to provide veterans and their families relief from the stresses of food insecurity, and help alleviate the cost of living for those that have sacrificed so much for their country.
00:13:12.300
Whether it's through directly contacting produce for heroes, or through a friend's referral, all veterans and their families living in Canada are welcome.
00:13:20.420
By shining a light on the struggle of veterans and their families, Lindsay is hoping to get her fellow Canadians to hop on board and support Produce for Heroes and our great veterans.
00:13:30.200
If you or a veteran you know needs help, ProduceForHeroes.com is a great place to start.
00:13:40.840
Yes, you can reach Scott and Brian at Canaan Gold and Lindsay at Produce for Heroes on my description page under the heading Sponsors.
00:14:00.640
When you look at my thumbnail there, you can see the word adverse with a question mark.
00:14:05.840
Yes, and that's a picture of yours truly there, ladies and gentlemen, with sunglasses on.
00:14:10.080
Little memes I put together every time I do a show.
00:14:13.980
I'm trying to make my own little thumbnails there to keep it authentic and real without any kind of manufacturing BS.
00:14:23.080
Now we're talking about the whole vaccine passport issue.
00:14:25.720
So, even though vaccines are being brought into this country, slowly but surely.
00:14:36.340
I'll leave a couple of links in the description for you guys to read and come up with your own thought and your own thesis on it.
00:14:52.900
Of course, Ontario and Quebec are feeling them.
00:14:55.100
Every time you turn on the news, you're hearing more stuff from PEI and more stuff from Nova Scotia.
00:15:01.960
Oh, my God, the ICUs are fucking getting capacitated.
00:15:10.440
And there's still speculation that they're not.
00:15:15.260
Paulie says, Frank B. Vaughan, a few of my other friends in Ontario.
00:15:26.940
We hear in the national news that all these hospitals are being overwhelmed, overwhelmed, overwhelmed.
00:15:30.700
So, it's like stockpiles of people that are lining up, apparently.
00:15:34.880
And yet, they still have Walmarts and Costcos open.
00:15:43.980
People are losing their religious right to go out and worship and practice their faith.
00:15:53.060
To buy their own merits and their own rights that are set in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
00:16:01.860
But you can hop on an airplane and go elsewhere.
00:16:06.620
And then be locked up in a quarantine hotel upon your return to Canada based on government contracts.
00:16:12.940
So, things aren't perfect, ladies and gentlemen.
00:16:15.760
And when these individuals are saying you have to have a passport, well, is that passport going to guarantee you freedom to go to point A to point B without any other persecution or prosecution or being handed a fine?
00:16:27.160
I guess in the news today you can see that Arthur Pawlowski, the minister out of Calgary, who literally told those Calgary police officers to get the hell out of his fucking church.
00:16:45.320
And they were reluctant to leave, but they couldn't do much because they didn't have a warrant signed by the Queen's bench to infiltrate and investigate and arrest accordingly.
00:16:58.740
And I'm going to try to get him onto my Thursday fastball when I can, too.
00:17:03.420
Interesting fellow from what I've read about him and what I've seen.
00:17:07.780
And like I say, I'm not religious myself, ladies and gentlemen, but that doesn't matter.
00:17:17.720
You know, so my brothers and sisters, we fought for everyone's right to do that.
00:17:22.840
You know, that's the idea of being a soldier as far as I know, unless that's changed, too.
00:17:28.180
But it just brings me to parts of that last episode I did where how the NDP wants to abolish it all.
00:17:34.420
And it gets me to more of the idiocy that's being promoted as we speak, too.
00:17:41.160
So I'll leave some links in the description there, too.
00:17:44.700
How Elizabeth May and the Greens want to bring down the voting age based on a post-millennial article, too, to 16, right?
00:17:51.820
So they're desperate for a base, ladies and gentlemen.
00:17:54.760
They're not doing this for the good of democracy.
00:17:56.700
They're not doing this to make things better or make everything equal in sunshine, puppy dogs, fairy tales, and pixie fucking farts.
00:18:02.600
They want to fuck with our democracy and turn it into a joke.
00:18:09.920
Now, I remember when I was back in my life when I was 16.
00:18:25.180
When I look back at that now, I'm thinking, thank God.
00:18:31.880
But that's part of growing up and learning and doing things, right?
00:18:36.960
Formulating your own opinion, formulating your own way of life, trying to really find what makes you do your own thing and liking it and living with yourself in the whole process, the growing fuck phase.
00:18:47.000
Now, these fucking know-it-alls want to lower the voting age to 16.
00:18:55.960
I don't agree with it for the simple fact that you really don't know who the hell you are and that when you're 16 years old, you look at the aesthetics of something.
00:19:05.700
You don't look at the foundation of something because you don't have the maturity yet.
00:19:13.820
Stay updated and follow Krusty Canuck on Facebook, Twitter, Gap, Telegram, YouTube, and Podbean.
00:19:25.800
Yeah, like I said, ladies and gentlemen, a poke and a promise.
00:19:31.340
I'll leave links in the description about that article.
00:19:35.540
But it just seems, you know, we're getting up for election and all these parties are scraping the barrel for whatever proving and talking points they can get their hands on just to win favor, right?
00:19:45.200
And, of course, the Greens and the NDPs and the Liberals are all fucking on the same train ride for this UBI thing.
00:19:51.460
So, again, more people are going to go, oh, wow, great, more free stuff.
00:19:54.700
I guess I don't have to thank myself because the government's going to give me at least 500 bucks a month just to sit in my hands and pick my nose and play video games, right?
00:20:04.940
What a great way to stand up for what's right by receiving a handout that comes from Canadian taxpayer dollars, right?
00:20:11.480
But they don't see the bigger picture in that, too.
00:20:25.900
You're going to need more police officers to keep things in check, right?
00:20:28.380
You know, to raid churches and to raid businesses and gatherings because they're unlawful.
00:20:35.440
All the Bonnie Henrys, all the Teresa Tams, all the health annuities out there.
00:20:41.480
Dictating terms, even though they're appointed to be health officials, not leaders, right?
00:20:52.360
I know George Carlin had a routine about rights.
00:20:56.060
You know, he talked about inherent God-given rights and all this.
00:21:01.060
It's like, if it's God's given right, why was it okay for this country to die?
00:21:04.700
And why was this okay for this country to flood?
00:21:08.540
And basically, to summarize everything he said,
00:21:15.900
Do we really have rights in the big scale of things?
00:21:34.560
If you don't agree with somebody, you don't have to agree with them.
00:21:37.620
But then if you go out of your way to harm that person because you disagree with them,
00:21:46.240
You don't have to agree with the Tova or the Torah or anything Buddhist or anything Hindi.
00:21:51.920
You don't have to agree with the lemon worshippers down the road or the monkey dancers the street over.
00:21:57.940
But if you go out of your way to harm anybody because you disagree with their policies or they disagree with your policies,
00:22:08.420
It has nothing to do with your faith in God or faith in Muhammad or faith in Buddha or faith in the monkey gods and the lemon gods
00:22:22.920
But I was raised in a household where you don't condemn anybody for that.
00:22:31.540
You can debate and discuss and dialogue is key.
00:22:36.180
But if I invite you into my home and you want to talk about your faith, okay, I will give you that platform.
00:22:44.380
If I go to your house and you want to talk about faith, fine.
00:22:52.920
I'm not going to any kind of religious rhetoric.
00:22:55.100
I'm not going to comply to it because I believe myself as a free thinker.
00:22:58.480
And I think there's a majority of Canadians out there that do the same thing, too.
00:23:25.700
I want these coasters to speak their Gaelic loud and proud.
00:23:30.220
Because it doesn't fucking matter as long as we understand.
00:23:37.760
Stay updated and follow Krusty Canuck on Facebook, Twitter, Gap, Telegram, YouTube, and Podbean.
00:23:49.160
And the more and more I hear about these politicians talking about racial divide and identity crisis and language, okay?
00:24:04.080
And when I was living at the time, there was really no means to use it other than with the French teacher and to get your passing grade and to carry on to the next grade and yada, yada, yada, to quote Jerry Seinfeld.
00:24:18.300
And until you use the language on a regular basis, you forget it.
00:24:21.400
Now, I learned more French in the military, working with a lot of Quebecers, taking French courses, and getting that grade up there so I could understand a few words and a few sentences and phrases.
00:24:31.180
And the more I practiced, the more I picked up, the more I understood.
00:24:37.980
And I was getting praise from some Quebecers, and I was getting praise from my own teachers.
00:24:43.140
And I was also equally giving praise to some of my Quebec friends that were pronouncing words differently, you know, better, so I could understand, you know.
00:24:52.420
Their comprehension, their writing was getting better, and back and forth, back and forth.
00:25:00.960
But now we still have a handful of people that want to make it an issue, right?
00:25:06.060
You can't put the word assimilate on a license plate, according to that poor guy in Manitoba a couple years back.
00:25:11.900
But you can have a group of government officials in La Belle-Provence dictate who passes and who fails a French test, right?
00:25:25.440
And when I look at Canada, yes, Canada has always been a fucking diverse nation, regardless of the history, okay?
00:25:35.760
There's a little tidbit that I put on my Facebook page, too, about some, talking about the weather and some climate issue.
00:25:41.380
And, of course, the token SJW news reporter aficionado was talking about colonialism and capitalism as such a bad thing.
00:25:48.500
And I'd like to remind some of my SJW listeners, if you're out there, if you've got the guts to actually talk to me about something.
00:25:58.360
I want to remind some of these people that you're not entitled to anything.
00:26:02.660
And it's because of the colonial model we have, or we had, and because of capitalism, is why you go to school and you're employed today.
00:26:14.420
If you want things to be handed to you on a regular fucking basis, then, one, you either become an invalid, you know?
00:26:21.200
And I'm not trying to disenfranchise any invalids out there, but you either become an invalid and sit in your basement in your safe space in your bubble wrap and play with your gum and your trading cards and watch your CW channel.
00:26:34.020
Or you come out to society and start accepting things for what they are, not what you want them to be, okay?
00:26:39.740
And I'll leave a link to that fucking little podcast, too.
00:26:50.880
So that's going to be my choice of who is going to win the polar vortex of Canadian bullshit, or the Canadian vortex of polar bullshit.
00:27:03.880
So, I'll give it to City TV Toronto, further, you know, without further ado, I'll give it to the City TV of Toronto.
00:27:12.700
They are recipients of the Canadian polar vortex of bullshit.
00:27:22.180
It goes to City TV Toronto for putting up such a stupid report, and I'll leave the link in the description for you guys to listen to.
00:27:31.140
And it's only a few seconds long, but just that rhetoric about climate change and all this is because of the colonial and the capitalist model.
00:27:51.660
But I remember City being pretty cool at one time.
00:27:54.680
And I've talked about this before, but I don't know.
00:27:57.420
Mainstream media has just gone downhill, ladies and gentlemen, both of our countries.
00:28:00.720
My American listeners and my Canadian listeners and my Eastern European listeners, too.
00:28:05.060
A lot of the mainstream media has gone to crap to promote all these narratives in regards to vaccines and regards to the COVID and the beer bugs and to this race and that race and this group and that group.
00:28:17.480
And who wears slippers and who doesn't wear slippers and who picks their nose and who wipes their own ass.
00:28:26.840
But, like I always try to say, there is light somewhere.
00:28:31.440
There is light in this chaos, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:35.840

00:29:03.120
But I'm just confirming times and issues there.

00:29:39.640
We talk about politics, social dilemmas, and just life in this country that we call Canada.
00:29:47.920
We didn't have an episode this weekend because of the Easter issue.
00:29:53.020
Plus, we both have wives and families, what have you.
00:29:57.120
So we're all looking at it ourselves, just trying to make the time.
00:29:59.980
But I'm pretty sure we'll have an episode next Sunday at 4 p.m. Mountain Standard, 6 p.m. Eastern.
00:30:06.320
So if those individuals want to weigh in and watch us on the Hidden Gem Livestream, please join us.

It's hosted by Adam Daniel-Mosee, all-around Canadian guy, producer, director, actor, writer, creative genius extraordinaire.

He's quite the American and Commonwealth history buff, too.

00:31:12.780
So keep yourself up to date by checking those out, too.
00:31:15.700
Anyway, again, carrying on with more of the A Poke and a Promise.
00:31:24.220
She said she'd give me a poke, and she promised me she'd do it.
00:31:30.240
Well, you know, I just had to come up with a catchy title.
00:31:35.980
Everybody's so worried about vaccines, and yet there are people who get these vaccines,
00:31:39.180
and yet they're still told where they can go and not go.
00:31:42.200
So my question is, is that once you get your shot or your two shots, does that mean you're immune to any infection,
00:31:51.520
That means you just have to sit in your hands and wait for a biscuit.
00:31:57.360
And now you need proof of vaccination everywhere you go now.
00:32:00.940
So not only do you need your regular passport if you're leaving the country,
00:32:03.940
you've got to get yourself your needle book, too.
00:32:07.140
Now, I've heard a couple people in the distance talking about how, oh, well, you know,
00:32:11.300
every time you travel to this tropic island or this area, you've got to get these shots and those shots anyway.
00:32:16.620
And I said, yeah, well, these are shots that are supposed to protect you,
00:32:20.220
i.e. from malaria and tetanus, you know, diphtheria, dysentery, you know, typhoid,
00:32:26.700
you know, stuff that used to kill people prior to refrigeration and proper sanitation, you know, that kind of stuff.
00:32:33.200
But these things, I know, they're still talking in the wind, you know,
00:32:37.820
hoping for pixie dust to come and bless everybody with magical powers, right?
00:32:47.000
Now, I'm not an anti-vaxxer, per se, but I'm an anti-bullshitter, too.
00:32:54.220
And I, for one, I'm very skeptical when it comes to it because my wife and I, we haven't been sick.
00:32:59.600
We've had a couple of head colds last a couple of days, no biggie.
00:33:03.600
But, you know, you take some Buckleys or you take some Dristan or, you know,
00:33:07.620
take some Sudafed or some Advils, get some sleep, drink some tea, drink lots of water,
00:33:20.500
Rather than some so-called liberal, and I will call them liberal because they're very liberal-minded
00:33:25.560
when it comes to telling us what to do, yet they're very, very dictatorial when it comes to telling us how to live, too, right?
00:33:31.580
Especially the sound of how many of them are getting paid $300,000 a year to tell us how to be safe
00:33:37.300
when they've been caught traveling around the country whenever the hell they wanted to.
00:33:42.060
So, I don't care what the science says, science gets bought and paid every fucking day.
00:33:49.720
So, all I can say is we have to keep our wits about us and do what we think is right, you know?
00:33:55.880
And like I've said in my last few episodes, too, we're going to have to demand the questions, demand the answers, too.
00:34:00.200
And do what we can to get the truth to find light at the end of the tunnel.
00:34:04.860
Stay updated and follow Krusty Canuck on Facebook, Twitter, Gap, Telegram, YouTube, and Podbean.
00:34:15.980
And like I've said, a poke and a promise, ladies and gentlemen.
00:34:21.120
So, we get all these pokes and then promised what?
00:34:32.060
You know, hats off again to Pastor Arthur Pulaski,
00:34:35.660
a Polish immigrant who lived through and survived communism,
00:34:44.720
So, I'm going to try to get him on my Thursday fastball if I can, too.
00:34:49.120
I'll try to get him on there, have a good talk with him about his freedom fighting
00:34:52.120
and the amount of tickets and the harassment he received from the Calgary Police Service
00:34:55.860
over the past year when he was reaching out and being charitable to people, right?
00:35:01.160
So, I'm going to try to get him on the show if I can, too.
00:35:03.820
And a special thanks out there, again, to Tiffany and Tammy
00:35:06.340
for sending me the links and sending me lots of information.
00:35:09.220
I want to thank all my fans, too, who have sent me some wonderful emails the past three days.
00:35:17.160
There was one individual who has sent me about 100 emails.
00:35:27.980
but I get a lot of this information, and it's hard to read and keep up, folks.
00:35:32.440
So, there's a lot of people out there who have sent me some really warm thoughts and prayers.
00:35:40.100
And I'm grateful that I have listeners and fans such as yourselves
00:35:42.620
showing me this information and spreading the word out, too.
00:35:46.280
So, please, keep liking, subscribing, and sharing this all around.
00:35:54.540
And especially the people that come out to my premieres, too,
00:35:57.260
who say some kind words and give me a thumbs up and words of encouragement.
00:36:02.820
From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much.
00:36:04.580
I'm going to keep doing it, and I'm going to keep doing it because of people like you.
00:36:11.040
and I need people like yourselves out there to make it happen
00:36:18.060
and just keep giving the time and do what you can to help each other out.
00:36:30.880
I'm going to tick around there with some of the grass,
00:36:34.540
It's getting warmer, so I'm going to start overturning my dirt.
00:36:37.320
And I'll find my seeds, so I'll be planting those probably in May.
00:36:42.000
By the meantime, I'll be prepping the soil, getting everything ready to go
00:36:44.700
for this season's gardening, and hopefully I'll have a good crop come out.
00:36:52.240
we've got to do what we can to help each other out.
00:36:54.080
I'm still going to do my best for the Veterans Coalition Party.
00:36:56.260
I'll leave links in the description for you guys to look at
00:36:58.740
and look at our manifest and all that good stuff too.
00:37:01.360
And let's just hope things are going to go well for us.
00:37:08.480
Do what we can to help our neighbors out and our friends out and loved ones.
00:37:11.380
You know, like I say, a little bit of effort to help your neighbor
00:37:16.240
You know, let's look after our elders, look after our seniors.
00:37:25.160
And I can honestly say a lot of my fans are getting sick of it too.
00:37:30.360
Like I say, look after your friends and loved ones, ladies and gentlemen.
00:38:12.700
This has been another episode of the Krusty Kynike Podcast.
00:38:19.020
From Western Canada, this is the Krusty Kynike Podcast.
