The Crusty Canuck Podcast - Aftermath of Tumbler, Gold Medal Game and Coward MPs EP#395

00:00:01.000 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's the beautiful 22nd of February, 2026.

00:00:05.940 Come with this overdue podcast episode of the Krusty Canuck podcast. 1.00

00:00:09.860 Aftermath of Tumblr, the gold medal game, and cowardly MPs, and some real stupid ideas. 1.00

00:00:15.440 Oh my goodness. Listener of your discretion will be advised, because I will swear, smoke cigarettes, 1.00

00:00:20.780 and make fun of the powers that be as usual.

00:00:24.500 So grab yourself a coffee, a smoke, kick on back, and listen to the Krusty Canuck podcast.

00:00:30.000 Be right back.

00:00:34.900 Hit it, sweetheart. 1.00

00:00:37.120 Because I am hard, you will not like me.

00:00:40.020 Yes, sir.

00:00:43.520 There is no racial bigotry here.

00:00:48.340 There you are always going to work.

00:00:52.400 From Western Canada, this is the Krusty Canuck podcast, a Canadian veteran's point of view.

00:00:59.060 On political, social, economic issues, and life.

00:01:03.260 Here's Krusty.

00:01:04.320 That's right, ladies and gentlemen.

00:01:08.260 Welcome to episode 395 of the Krusty Canuck podcast.

00:01:11.500 Hope you've all had a decent couple of weeks.

00:01:13.580 I know the past couple of weeks in our lives have been somewhat traumatic with certain issues and all that, too.

00:01:19.500 Just a reminder, too, if you're liking what you see, click, like, subscribe, share this content, all the social media platforms.

00:01:24.000 Ladies and gentlemen, do not be shy.

00:01:26.460 Give a guy like me a hand out there, too.

00:01:28.440 Especially when it comes to the algorithm, working in our favor.

00:01:31.920 There's just too many, how do you say, too much politics out there that's stopping our voices from getting out there and getting out to you in a timely manner, too.

00:01:39.260 So click that notification about all that stuff, too.

00:01:40.980 So a lot of interesting things have happened since my last episode, ladies and gentlemen.

00:01:45.780 Well, I lost my truck.

00:01:48.000 Yeah.

00:01:49.200 And I lost my job.

00:01:51.800 Maybe I should write a country and western song.

00:01:53.580 I don't know.

00:01:54.120 But if you feel like donating, please consider donating, too.

00:01:56.420 My last episode, I had a few people donate.

00:01:58.520 Thank you very much.

00:01:59.280 You wonderful people out there.

00:02:00.740 You are wonderful.

00:02:01.760 Thank you.

00:02:04.340 Thank you.

00:02:05.660 Thank you very much.

00:02:07.500 I keep donating if you can, too.

00:02:09.260 Just like and subscribe and comment if you can, too.

00:02:11.440 If you are going to donate, please use my PayPal link.

00:02:13.940 It just makes things so much easier.

00:02:15.940 That way, you're giving me the money you want me to have, basically.

00:02:20.220 Anyhow, carrying on with this episode.

00:02:21.280 So almost two weeks ago, a devastating thing happened in Tumblr, B.C.

00:02:26.400 Now, I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

00:02:27.920 I'm not going to sit in and try to censor myself.

00:02:30.660 Innocent people were hurt.

00:02:32.360 Innocent people died.

00:02:33.780 Okay?

00:02:34.160 Unalived.

00:02:35.180 I don't care what the algorithm says, whatever, too.

00:02:37.220 And I really don't care about the rights of the criminal.

00:02:40.400 Now, we've all seen the footage of these police officers sitting there saying that she, it was a he. 0.72

00:02:46.560 Okay?

00:02:47.040 It was a person transitioning into a female.

00:02:50.560 Therefore, it was a male transitioning to a female.

00:02:53.700 Okay?

00:02:54.380 Now, I don't care what troubles an individual goes through.

00:02:59.000 The moment you have to pick up a pow-pow and start hurting people, there are bigger problems than just inconvenience.

00:03:05.460 Okay?

00:03:05.660 Now, all the experts weighed in, Facebook lit up, Twitter lit up, with people worrying about trans rights.

00:03:13.840 Okay?

00:03:14.120 This is not an issue about trans rights.

00:03:17.620 This is an issue about how transitioning is starting to mess with people's heads.

00:03:22.540 Can we look at it that way?

00:03:24.620 Okay?

00:03:25.060 This is an issue dealing with people that are having their issues, and they compound more issues with more medications, and more lies they hear from this, and more lies they hear from that, that they're in the wrong body, that they're this, and they're that. 0.99

00:03:38.480 So, basically, it's parts of our society fucking with kids' heads. 0.98

00:03:43.600 Okay? 1.00

00:03:44.280 That's what it is.

00:03:45.240 Now, there are two people I have met during this podcast, when I started this podcast, that have actually transitioned into females. 0.90

00:03:54.680 Okay?

00:03:55.200 But guess what?

00:03:56.540 Both of them are over the ages of 18.

00:03:58.800 One of them I don't agree with politically.

00:04:00.860 The other one I get along with just fine.

00:04:02.920 But they both said in my episodes, they volunteered to become what they are today.

00:04:08.680 They were not forced.

00:04:10.340 They were not coached.

00:04:11.600 They had some family that backed them up on their decisions, as any family member should.

00:04:17.540 Okay?

00:04:18.300 But they were not apprehended.

00:04:20.220 They were not propagandized.

00:04:21.660 They were not told they were in the wrong body.

00:04:24.240 They figured out for themselves and how they want to live their lives.

00:04:26.800 That's the power of being an individual, ladies and gentlemen.

00:04:29.900 Now, being a teenager is screwy enough.

00:04:32.280 It doesn't matter what decade you're from.

00:04:33.520 It doesn't matter if you grew up in the 60s or the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, or 2000 to 2010.

00:04:40.420 Okay?

00:04:41.600 But regardless of how easier things have become, in the name of convenience and communication,

00:04:48.360 they're still missing key communication.

00:04:51.380 Kids are still being influenced in a wrong way.

00:04:55.100 Now, I can just hear some certain lefties buzzing about this.

00:04:58.400 I really don't care right now.

00:04:59.800 An individual took it upon himself to take a pew-pew and pow-pow innocent people.

00:05:05.580 Okay?

00:05:06.640 Predominantly children. 0.94

00:05:08.380 That doesn't work with me.

00:05:09.620 I don't care what ailment you have.

00:05:11.260 I don't care what circumstances are in your life.

00:05:15.360 You do not hurt kids.

00:05:18.100 You don't hurt kids.

00:05:19.320 Not little children.

00:05:20.140 Not kids.

00:05:20.620 You don't hurt kids.

00:05:22.420 Okay?

00:05:22.860 There's enough wacko parents out there who have abused little boys and little girls over the years 1.00

00:05:27.760 who have done some heinous things.

00:05:29.680 And when I see an overwhelming number of people worrying about their criminals' rights compared

00:05:35.340 to what he did, that frickin' infuriates me and should infuriate you too.

00:05:40.740 Okay?

00:05:41.040 Now, there's still ongoing investigations about how he had access to firearms because there

00:05:45.800 was an issue with firearms prior to him.

00:05:48.200 There was issues with his family, i.e. a very, very strong mother who was an activist, by the

00:05:54.320 way.

00:05:54.920 Now, I'm not dissing mothers.

00:05:56.040 I'm not dissing women. 0.99

00:05:57.280 Just some women and just some mothers that choose to be activists rather than parents. 1.00

00:06:02.820 Okay?

00:06:03.520 There's stories in the works about that too.

00:06:05.640 I'm sure if you really, really want to know, ladies and gentlemen, what I've seen, I don't

00:06:10.060 have the links with me here now, but it's quite disturbing.

00:06:13.620 There's quite the story about that individual and his stepbrother whose natural fathers were

00:06:19.240 out of the picture.

00:06:20.100 Not because they were deadbeat dads, because mama just didn't want them around. 0.98

00:06:24.880 Right?

00:06:26.700 How many times have you heard that story?

00:06:28.780 Okay?

00:06:29.620 So, I'm not disenfranchising any females.

00:06:32.480 I'm not disenfranchising any females that love their children. 0.96

00:06:35.880 But nothing says, I love you, like backing up your kids with their agendas, not yours.

00:06:42.040 Okay?

00:06:43.060 Too many activists out there. 0.97

00:06:44.480 Too many people trying to justify shitty behavior. 0.95

00:06:48.160 That's what it comes down to.

00:06:50.160 And I can just imagine with that teenage boy.

00:06:52.900 Teenage boy, not girl.

00:06:55.300 Was going through.

00:06:57.920 From the time he was 12 to the time he did that terrible thing.

00:07:04.380 So, you can dress up all you want.

00:07:06.880 You can butter up all the poop sandwiches you want and say it's a souffle. 0.98

00:07:10.460 When we both know the truth is this whole transgender issue. 1.00

00:07:14.660 And it's becoming an issue right now.

00:07:16.920 It's affecting people's psyche.

00:07:18.760 It's affecting their well-being.

00:07:20.920 I'm not disenfranchising trans people.

00:07:22.860 But I'm getting sick and tired of the propaganda.

00:07:25.880 I'm getting sick and tired of it being rammed down people's throats.

00:07:28.700 People are saying love is love.

00:07:30.240 And yet, what's loving about popping kids full of drugs?

00:07:35.380 What's loving about that?

00:07:37.020 What's loving about lying to a little boy or a little girl?

00:07:40.240 Because you think they might identify as something.

00:07:44.500 Okay?

00:07:44.940 I like to sit in a room with all these teachers and see what their logic is when it comes to how can you tell.

00:07:53.700 Right?

00:07:53.860 Not only do you have to spend four years to become a teacher, you have to spend a minimum of seven years, as far as I know, to understand psychology.

00:08:02.600 So, therefore, you're spending 11 years in an institution to learn how to teach and learn how to dissect the human mind.

00:08:11.160 Especially when it comes to a little kid's mind.

00:08:14.320 How about you leave kids alone and let them be kids? 0.98

00:08:17.860 There's an idea.

00:08:19.240 Don't worry about the GUNs.

00:08:21.080 Don't worry about the pow-pows where they come from. 1.00

00:08:23.360 And don't worry about the subtle prejudice that some people see every day.

00:08:28.560 Okay?

00:08:29.760 Worry about the fact that this person committed a heinous crime.

00:08:33.620 And let's not sidestep around the identity here.

00:08:36.880 It was a he. 0.99

00:08:38.400 Living his life the best as he knew it as a female.

00:08:41.780 But he's still a he. 1.00

00:08:43.480 This is my left hand.

00:08:45.260 This is my right hand.

00:08:47.320 Okay?

00:08:47.640 As I'm sitting here looking into my camera.

00:08:49.660 It'll be opposite to you.

00:08:51.280 But this is still my left hand.

00:08:52.800 This is my right hand.

00:08:54.880 Right?

00:08:55.380 You don't have to agree with me.

00:08:56.780 But I just told you the truth.

00:08:58.300 You and I both know I'm holding up two of my hands.

00:09:01.100 I'm not holding up eagle talons.

00:09:03.000 I'm not holding up phasers or hockey sticks.

00:09:05.640 Hands.

00:09:06.480 This is my left.

00:09:07.360 This is my right.

00:09:08.960 And you can change the narrative all you want.

00:09:10.960 But you and I both know the truth.

00:09:12.300 And I think a lot of people know the truth, too, of what happened there. 0.82

00:09:15.380 It was disgusting.

00:09:16.540 It was just terrible, ladies and gentlemen.

00:09:21.680 And I feel bad for the families.

00:09:23.060 And apparently there's rumors going around, too.

00:09:24.980 Not rumors, but there's been some podcasters out there that have said some family members of one of the fallen little girls.

00:09:34.500 They had threats at the funeral or threats prior to the funeral.

00:09:40.320 So I think there might be more of that coming as we speak, but I'll keep you posted on that probably in the next episode. 0.99

00:09:47.140 But it's just the whole political spectrum of this shit show has just got to stop. 0.98

00:09:53.160 Right? 0.99

00:09:53.800 Innocent people were unalived.

00:09:57.280 And for what?

00:09:58.840 For what?

00:10:01.020 Right?

00:10:01.560 And the people trying to defend that kind of behavior?

00:10:04.620 Shame on you, too.

00:10:40.100 Like I said, I'm out of a job now.

00:10:41.740 I am unemployed.

00:10:42.660 Laid off, but still, unemployed.

00:11:02.780 So, donate with a sense of purpose if you can, too, ladies and gentlemen.

00:11:06.660 I do have a picture here of what happened to my truck.

00:11:10.140 I was going to work on my last shift, and this is what happened.

00:11:14.300 Yeah, I hit a moose.

00:11:17.980 I hit a moose.

00:11:19.360 And this moose might have been about 800, maybe 1,000 pounds.

00:11:22.540 Big bull moose, big hump and everything just kind of sauntered across the road.

00:11:26.120 I couldn't stop at enough time.

00:11:28.100 There's my bumper there on the lower half.

00:11:31.040 My bush guard pushed in.

00:11:34.460 Headlight smashed.

00:11:35.900 Radiator pushed forward.

00:11:37.220 Hood damaged.

00:11:38.780 Their frame got compromised a bit.

00:11:40.680 So, needless to say, the truck is a write-off, ladies and gentlemen.

00:11:43.760 So, I'm out of a vehicle, too.

00:11:45.200 So, I lost my truck.

00:11:46.280 Lost my job.

00:11:48.180 Oh, gee.

00:11:49.340 Give me an E and give me an A.

00:11:51.920 It's got the making of a real hurting country song there, doesn't it?

00:11:55.240 But I try to keep my spirits up.

00:11:57.500 All right.

00:11:59.000 So, the moose and I were looking for a vehicle right now, too.

00:12:01.540 Insurance is going to pay me about 10 Gs, thankfully.

00:12:04.740 Well, it's about 9,600 roundup.

00:12:06.620 It's like 10 Gs, anyway.

00:12:08.240 But still, I'm in the hunt for a new truck, ladies and gentlemen.

00:12:13.020 So, I'm without for a bit.

00:12:15.380 Like I say, if you want to donate, donate.

00:12:16.700 If not, that's fine, too.

00:12:18.120 I'll keep these episodes free.

00:12:20.100 But still, it's up to you, my wonderful audience.

00:12:23.540 Keep that in mind if you can.

00:12:25.000 Anyway, carrying on this episode.

00:12:26.020 The gold medal game.

00:12:26.740 So, Canada lost.

00:12:28.980 Canada lost gold medal opportunity to the United States.

00:12:32.400 Now, you'd be surprised how many Twitter pages have lit up and Facebook lit up over the anti-American sentiment, too.

00:12:40.100 I, for one, ladies and gentlemen, I am not anti-American.

00:12:43.300 I'm not.

00:12:43.980 I think both teams played very well. 1.00

00:12:46.140 There were some referee calls I thought were pretty stupid. 0.99

00:12:49.380 You know, there was a couple of high-sticking calls that were called. 0.99

00:12:51.820 And they weren't intentional.

00:12:53.120 They weren't intentional.

00:12:53.860 But in the same sense, I don't think they deserved a four-minute minor.

00:12:59.100 You know, an unintentional high stick, fine.

00:13:01.460 Okay, call it two minutes in the box.

00:13:03.140 That's it.

00:13:04.160 But when I watched the game with my wife, it just seemed the American players had a little more drive to them. 0.99

00:13:11.140 And I'm not kissing their asses, right? 0.99

00:13:14.140 But I, for one, too, am getting so sick and tired of this false patriotism on our side of the border, right? 0.99

00:13:20.520 Every time I see everyone saying, oh, you know, Canada's so much better.

00:13:23.840 It's like, well, we have a health care system that was supposed to benefit the people based on our tax dollars and what we spend on health care.

00:13:32.440 And yet there's still people waiting for hours upon hours to get bones set, get their bones set if they're broken or to even be looked at.

00:13:39.180 So, when it comes to our health care system, ladies and gentlemen, blame the politicians. 0.99

00:13:43.100 Don't blame the doctors.

00:13:44.380 Don't blame the premiers, right?

00:13:47.480 Blame the people that make the decisions, i.e. bureaucrats that make people wait in the hiring practices and everything thereof, okay?

00:13:57.360 I hear a lot of federal ministers say, well, it's a provincial jurisdiction.

00:14:02.180 Well, it's Canada-wide now.

00:14:04.040 It's not just in Alberta or in Ontario or in parts of here or parts of there.

00:14:08.300 This is Canada-wide.

00:14:10.540 The whole country's feeling this thing with our bad health care, right?

00:14:13.920 So, we got to sort it out, right?

00:14:17.140 Excuse me.

00:14:18.840 And it's not getting any better.

00:14:20.420 It's not.

00:14:21.560 You know, you can dress it up all you want.

00:14:23.240 Dress up a poop sandwich all you want, but it's not getting better, folks.

00:14:28.500 So, the gold medal game that was supposed to be Canada's shining light didn't happen.

00:14:34.940 But in the same sense, too, I remember as a kid, you know, dreaming about playing for Team Canada.

00:14:42.620 You know, the Canada Cup was in its glory.

00:14:44.800 The invitational tournament, all teams that were, who could, you know, put together a proper hockey team, come play the Canada Cup as an invitational tournament.

00:14:53.200 It was always something glorious.

00:14:53.940 And I used to love watching Messier, Gretzky, Lemieux, you know, all the greats play in my time, right?

00:15:02.440 And I used to admire and I used to envy that.

00:15:05.060 God, I wish I was there.

00:15:06.240 I wish I was a better hockey player, right?

00:15:09.240 And then around the 90s, they got rid of the Canada Cup.

00:15:12.840 So, that's the thing.

00:15:15.760 You know, too much influence in the game.

00:15:17.620 Everything's corporate.

00:15:18.320 But, oh, okay, that's about to happen.

00:15:20.380 But in the same sense, you know, we can't get political over a hockey game.

00:15:27.440 It was a well-fought battle, professional players playing again, and oh, well.

00:15:33.700 I'm not going to lose any sleep.

00:15:34.740 It's disappointing, right?

00:15:37.040 But the thing is, don't lose sleep over a hockey game.

00:15:39.320 We've got to start concentrating on how our politics may run in this country, ladies and gentlemen. 0.98

00:15:42.480 I, for one, I'm personally getting sick and tired of seeing MPs say some of the dumbest things and do some of the dumbest things, too. 0.99

00:15:51.580 Really stupid things, you know, things like, well, you know, groceries are high because of climate change. 1.00

00:15:58.840 You know, that was said. 1.00

00:16:00.440 And people like Melanie Jolie saying things about how, oh, we're going to be an energy powerhouse.

00:16:07.040 And yet, they don't want to lift any restrictions when it comes to energy production in this country. 1.00

00:16:11.160 Stupid things like that. 1.00

00:16:12.480 And, of course, an immigration MP talking about bringing foreign nationals over to join our military. 1.00

00:16:19.380 I'll do more on that after this.

00:17:47.060 Let me know you're watching.

00:17:48.080 And just let me know where you're from, too, as I get a rough idea.

00:17:51.460 Anyway, carrying on with this show. 1.00

00:17:52.660 So, stupid MPs. 1.00

00:17:54.440 There is an interesting story that's been around since the 18th. 1.00

00:17:58.060 And it's about four days old, but I'll just cue this up here, too.

00:18:02.080 So, let's just say Immigration Minister of Refugees, Alina Metalidge-Diab, said something on CPAC the other day that was quite interesting.

00:18:12.880 Now, I do have the video for it, but I will give you the hard article.

00:18:17.940 It's a hard read, but I'll keep it short and sweet, needless to say, ladies and gentlemen.

00:18:23.740 And I'll leave this link in my description for you guys to follow at your own leisure, but it's just sad.

00:18:32.680 The logic that our leaders have in this country when it comes to get things done, you know, a simple thing like looking after our military is such a foreign concept to these people, right?

00:18:48.680 Okay, so I'll just read along here, ladies and gentlemen.

00:18:53.020 Bear with me here.

00:18:54.940 Ottawa extends Express Immigration Entry to Researchers and Military Applicants.

00:18:59.360 This comes from the Canadian Press and CP24 out of Toronto, right?

00:19:04.260 This is dated the 18th of February.

00:19:06.180 So, Immigration Minister Alina Diab is adding three new permanent residency streams to Canada's Express Entry Program that cover a variety of professions, including military ones.

00:19:17.180 Dun-dun-dun-dun.

00:19:19.020 The new streams are also open to researchers and senior managers with Canadian work experience and are part of what Diab calls a federal strategy to attract top talent to the country.

00:19:31.020 The new streams are meant to complement the government's $1.7 billion strategy to attract researchers to Canadian institutions.

00:19:38.200 In a speech to the Canadian Club Toronto on Wednesday, Diab said the government's broader immigration strategy is to attract the best and the brightest while reducing the number of permanent and temporary residents being admitted to Canada annually or monthly.

00:19:52.880 The transport sector is also being targeted with Express Entry for pilots, aircraft mechanics, and inspectors.

00:20:00.180 I see.

00:20:00.760 So, are you going to have the same logic when it comes to people who ride on the highway?

00:20:04.880 Huh?

00:20:05.640 Huh?

00:20:06.500 Think about it.

00:20:07.580 Think about it.

00:20:08.680 Do you want the same kind of education?

00:20:10.760 Flying aircraft in our skies?

00:20:13.220 All right.

00:20:13.860 I digress.

00:20:14.780 We've identified these sectors or areas as critical in need.

00:20:17.960 Strengthening those help us move goods across the country and to new markets.

00:20:21.840 Well, you've got to have open up the floodgates to have new markets. 1.00

00:20:25.120 Stupid. 0.97

00:20:26.200 Supporting trade, supply chains, and economic resilience, Diab said during her address, Ottawa is also introducing a new Express Entry Stream for, now pay attention here, Ottawa is also introducing a new Express Entry Stream for foreign military applicants who have been recruited by the Canadian Armed Forces to serve as doctors, nurses, and pilots. 0.99

00:20:47.180 Now, think about it.

00:20:49.400 It's not just doctors, nurses, and pilots.

00:20:52.800 It's also ground troops.

00:20:55.620 Why is the federal government opening up the gates to bring in the numbers to our military?

00:21:02.680 Interesting, eh?

00:21:05.820 Paradise?

00:21:06.380 I hardly think it's anything paradise.

00:21:10.580 I hardly think it's anything worth our time.

00:21:12.800 I think it's more like we're just too lazy to hire our own Canadians. 0.99

00:21:17.720 We'll just open up the floodgates and bring more people in to look after our sovereignty. 1.00

00:21:22.020 I'd be a little concerned about that, ladies and gentlemen.

00:21:27.580 Okay, I'll say this again.

00:21:28.840 Ottawa is also introducing a new Express Entry Stream for foreign military applicants who have been recruited by the Canadian Forces to serve as doctors, nurses, and pilots, and, of course, ground troops.

00:21:38.920 Okay?

00:21:39.040 They don't say it in this article, but you can tell they mean that.

00:21:42.520 Okay?

00:21:43.060 Diab said this will support the government's $6.6 billion defense industrial strategy announced last Tuesday.

00:21:49.240 The new streams are in addition to one for foreign medical doctors with at least one year of Canadian experience in the last three years, which was announced in the federal budget.

00:22:07.080 Did we recommend that before the last few elections?

00:22:10.460 Hmm.

00:22:11.340 You know, to bring actual skilled practitioners into Canada?

00:22:14.320 These new streams are being added to existing Express Entry Categories for nurses, dentists, pharmacists, carpenters, plumbers, and others in the skilled trades.

00:22:24.240 Strong French language skills will also continue to be an advantage in the Express Entry System as Canada looks to increase the number of Francophone immigrants outside of Quebec.

00:22:33.600 See?

00:22:33.940 That's the thing, though.

00:22:35.500 You know, a natural French speaker is going to be drawn to an area where he or she can speak French openly and freely, so they'll probably go to Quebec.

00:22:42.080 Right?

00:22:42.280 Make a long story short.

00:22:44.980 So let's keep this in mind, okay?

00:22:46.820 I'll leave this article, too, in the description, ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing leisure or your reading leisure.

00:22:52.780 But what's that say?

00:22:55.920 I would say that is probably the most cowardly decision you can make.

00:23:02.100 We've got a lot of people in this country that are trained physicians.

00:23:05.100 How many of those physicians were let go during the pandemic?

00:23:08.320 How many nurses were let go because of the pandemic?

00:23:13.260 Right?

00:23:13.980 And now you're trying to catch up, and you're just going to grab whoever.

00:23:18.180 Okay?

00:23:19.000 I'm not dissing immigration.

00:23:21.500 I'm not dissing anybody who wants to come to Canada for a better life.

00:23:25.360 But we've seen the news reports.

00:23:27.180 We've seen what happens.

00:23:28.220 We've seen the robberies.

00:23:29.240 We've seen the home invasions.

00:23:30.680 The big extortion kick they're talking about right now, too.

00:23:34.340 Right?

00:23:34.860 What's going on in Surrey, B.C. or in Kelowna, B.C. with all this extortion going on?

00:23:40.160 What's going on?

00:23:41.620 Right?

00:23:42.940 And now you want to bring people who have some military experience back in their homelands.

00:23:48.000 You want to bring them over here just to get the numbers up.

00:23:52.260 Right?

00:23:53.200 Here's an idea when it comes to our military. 0.99

00:23:55.500 How about you put some fucking commercials back on television like they used to back in the day? 0.99

00:24:00.240 Okay? 0.99

00:24:01.980 How about that?

00:24:02.780 Right?

00:24:04.480 I guess you're too worried about what the NDP has to say when it comes to peacekeeping.

00:24:08.960 Right?

00:24:09.900 Did you guys see that debate?

00:24:11.720 The NDP leadership debate? 1.00

00:24:13.140 What a fucking shit show. 1.00

00:24:15.360 Right? 1.00

00:24:15.760 Magical fairy dust everywhere.

00:24:17.520 What a joke.

00:24:19.120 Right?

00:24:20.040 Talking about public this and public that.

00:24:22.140 Make everything public.

00:24:23.840 What the hell is his name?

00:24:24.420 That Avi Lerner? 0.77

00:24:25.120 Is that his name?

00:24:25.920 That old reporter from City TV back in the day?

00:24:29.400 He wants to be a political leader in the NDP?

00:24:31.360 Come on, Avi.

00:24:32.240 Smarten up. 1.00

00:24:33.340 At least fucking be a liberal or something. 1.00

00:24:35.140 Yeah, commie prick. 1.00

00:24:36.620 Like, what the hell is that? 0.99

00:24:38.420 This whole panel. 0.73

00:24:39.280 And I was sitting there and watching the debate and I was just kind of like, what the hell are you guys talking about?

00:24:46.880 Right?

00:24:47.320 This whole thing about public this and public that.

00:24:49.180 Public banks.

00:24:50.200 Public grocery stores.

00:24:51.200 You know, like, why did the NDP constantly try to promote utopia?

00:24:56.900 It's not going to happen. 0.97

00:24:59.700 Because the 20th century proved that those basic socialist ideas, those bullshit ideas turned into full-fledged communism. 0.95

00:25:11.060 And how many utopias came out of that? 0.98

00:25:13.640 Honestly.

00:25:14.080 Not too bloody many.

00:25:23.900 Cuba's going through a crisis right now.

00:25:26.840 Because that little state relied heavily on a former heavy state, Venezuela, to get their fuel.

00:25:32.580 And they're not getting fuel anymore.

00:25:33.920 So Mexico is stepping up and helping them out.

00:25:35.820 And good for Mexico. 0.99

00:25:36.820 Good for Mexico. 1.00

00:25:38.060 Let them help the Cubans out. 0.86

00:25:39.180 I don't really care.

00:25:41.200 You know?

00:25:41.920 And considering how our government was in bed with Cuba since 1968, why isn't Canada sending fuel down there?

00:25:49.420 Hey?

00:25:53.720 Don't want to piss off Donald Trump?

00:25:55.760 Because Carney and Trump are basically like that.

00:25:58.700 Right?

00:25:59.620 Now, to all my liberal friends out there who don't really like what I have to say when it comes to about Donald Trump.

00:26:05.960 Why is Brookfield headquartered in the States now?

00:26:09.180 Why is Carney's investments and his interests based in the States? 0.72

00:26:14.880 So if he's this big elbows-up kind of guy, why hasn't he done shit to negotiate with Donald Trump on any kind of tariff?

00:26:24.220 He's had since April of last year to do it. 0.88

00:26:27.560 Why hasn't he done it now? 0.98

00:26:29.180 So he's been the prime minister for the better part of fucking 10 months. 0.55

00:26:32.160 And what's been done to help our cost of living? 0.95

00:26:35.860 What's been done with inflation?

00:26:37.560 What's been done with food prices? 0.98

00:26:39.800 And no, it's not fucking climate change. 0.97

00:26:42.340 It's not. 1.00

00:26:44.640 It's idiocy. 1.00

00:26:45.580 It's bureaucrats. 1.00

00:26:46.360 It's bean counters. 1.00

00:26:47.600 People that work in offices all goddamn day. 0.99

00:26:50.580 People like the CRA. 0.99

00:26:52.380 People like all these public officials.

00:26:54.560 That sit and have to harp about having to go to work for more than four days out of the week. 0.98

00:26:58.220 Well, too fucking bad. 0.89

00:27:01.060 How many Canadians out there have to work five, six, seven days out of the week? 0.99

00:27:08.680 Some days 10 hours.

00:27:09.960 Some days 12.

00:27:10.680 Some days 13. 0.99

00:27:11.860 And when they get home and they pay their bills, they might have $100 or $200 left to their fucking name. 0.98

00:27:17.680 And you're worried about having to work three days out of the week? 0.99

00:27:20.420 Like, oh my, I don't understand.

00:27:22.700 I have daycare.

00:27:23.540 I have childcare.

00:27:24.860 Join the club.

00:27:25.720 A lot of people I've worked with that have little kids and they have to drop them off here and drop them off there.

00:27:35.600 Then pick them up at 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock or in some cases 5 o'clock.

00:27:39.860 Take them home.

00:27:40.720 Feed them.

00:27:41.060 Read them a story.

00:27:41.800 Be parents.

00:27:43.200 And then come Tuesday morning, do it all over again.

00:27:46.140 In some cases till Friday.

00:27:47.800 Till Saturday.

00:27:49.920 And some of these public servants are bitching and moaning because they have to work at the office four days out of the week. 1.00

00:27:55.060 You have to work at an office four days out of the week.

00:27:59.860 Wow, it must be hard, eh?

00:28:01.260 Typing away, calling people up saying you owe us more money or calling people up saying we're denying your claim.

00:28:10.420 That kind of public work.

00:28:11.840 You know what I mean?

00:28:13.760 Right?

00:28:14.340 So we got to start waking up and focusing more on what is going to be good for the country. 0.97

00:28:19.220 As for politicians, I'm at a point right fucking now, ladies and gentlemen. 0.99

00:28:23.380 I don't trust them anymore. 0.98

00:28:25.420 But I trust you.

00:28:28.620 Because I love you and I care about you.

00:28:31.740 And I want the best for this country again.

00:28:33.420 I want the best for my friends in the States.

00:28:35.060 I want the best for my friends in Britain.

00:28:36.900 And that flag back there.

00:28:38.300 I want the best for everybody around the globe as far as I'm concerned.

00:28:41.620 And I'm not going to sit and break into song and go kumbaya.

00:28:44.080 I'm just trying to be realistic here.

00:28:47.220 But what is wrong with looking after Canada first? 0.97

00:28:49.920 Eh?

00:28:50.840 What is wrong with that?

00:28:53.420 What is wrong with looking after Canada first and using common sense again?

00:28:56.420 What is wrong with that?

00:28:58.020 Nothing. 0.99

00:28:59.620 Not a goddamn thing. 0.97

00:29:02.160 Anyhow, ladies and gentlemen, I am in Christy Canuck in this beautiful 22nd of February, 2026. 0.92

00:29:08.940 I wish good things for you all.

00:29:10.580 I hope you're all well.

00:29:12.280 You know, cold weather is coming back.

00:29:14.020 So bundle up.

00:29:15.300 Be sensible.

00:29:16.900 You know, if it's miserable on the highways, just take your time.

00:29:20.040 Be curious.

00:29:20.940 Don't hit any moose.

00:29:21.860 And just keep your wits about you, ladies and gentlemen.

00:29:26.940 And like I always say, folks, humanity and merit wins the day.

00:29:32.600 Take care and I'll see you next time.

00:29:34.240 Bye for now.

00:29:34.800 Hit it, sweetheart. 1.00

00:29:39.480 Because I am hard.

00:29:42.220 You will not like me.

00:29:43.540 Yes, sir.

00:29:44.320 There is no racial bigotry here.

00:29:51.740 There you are always going to work.

00:29:53.720 This has been another episode of the Krusty Canuck podcast.

00:29:59.860 Stay sane.

00:30:00.640 And thank you for listening.

00:30:02.340 From Western Canada.

00:30:03.700 This is the Krusty Canuck podcast. 1.00
