Transcript
00:00:00.660
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, it's 21st February 2020 on this week's episode of the
00:00:10.840
All that and more coming up on the Krusty Connect podcast.
00:00:33.200
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the 21st of February 2020.
00:00:38.920
And if you like what you hear and see, please send me a comment or a like or a thumbs up.
00:00:46.180
Help us independent folk achieve at least a moderate success anyway.
00:00:50.640
And thanks to my new subscribers and my new listeners.
00:00:55.260
As I mentioned in the preview, yes, blockades and bureaucratic BS.
00:01:00.640
Now, a week ago, I slightly touched the whole thing on the rail blockades that have been going on Canada-wide.
00:01:06.120
So-called in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs in regards to getting the gas link from Dawson to Kitimat in BC.
00:01:18.500
I think 85% of the chiefs there that were consulted and negotiated with company-wise, provincial-wise, and First Nation-wise.
00:01:31.620
They all agreed to putting it in, except there's a handful of chiefs or clans that are disagreeing with it.
00:01:37.520
Needless to say, this week's headlines in mainstream media has been all about the solidarity with the protesters
00:01:44.540
and, of course, the lack of policing, lack of takedowns, and lack of action on our federal government.
00:01:52.420
So that brings me to the bureaucratic BS of the situation.
00:01:57.460
I'm going to be posting links here at the end of the video slash podcast in regards to that.
00:02:02.280
And again, folks, here we have a situation, Canada-wide, national situation,
00:02:11.360
and we have leaders that are refusing to act, refusing to take initiative.
00:02:19.480
I'll leave pictures and links to what Trudeau said to Andrew Scheer, what Scheer said to Trudeau.
00:02:25.900
We've all seen it on Question Period, how he more or less stood up and said,
00:02:34.840
He said in plain English, in Parliament, as any opposition would.
00:02:38.500
It doesn't matter what dynamic this country has, whether you have a conservative majority or a liberal majority or a minority.
00:02:49.700
Regardless of how much you disagree or agree with Andrew Scheer,
00:02:53.800
he put the Prime Minister on the spot as any opposition leader should.
00:03:02.160
And all the word salad that the Liberal Party has regurgitated,
00:03:05.960
everything from Bill Blair saying, Oh, we're working our hardest.
00:03:09.220
We're working really, really hard to come to an agreement on and try to make way.
00:03:17.640
Yeah, you're working so fucking hard that it took you a week to get off your ass to come back to Canada
00:03:28.860
Anyway, it brings me to another point, too, is that half of these protesters, you know,
00:03:35.820
have not shown any other solidarity than just creating chaos.
00:03:43.940
I'll leave a couple links to True North Media's page there.
00:03:48.020
Candace Malcolm, once again, she did a great job putting together a podcast
00:03:51.800
in regards to finding out who these individuals are.
00:03:57.860
And ironically enough, there's quite a few of them that are not Native.
00:04:01.820
There's quite a few of them that are not even Canadian.
00:04:05.480
So to make a long story short, there are people butting in to our problems
00:04:14.060
It just goes to prove what I said last week in regards to Tides Foundation
00:04:17.880
and Rockefeller Foundations in thwarting our oil for the sake of a handful of American companies' oil.
00:04:25.080
So it's a power struggle, ladies and gentlemen.
00:04:27.820
And I'll also leave a few links to people that can get paid to protest.
00:04:33.300
I posted there on my Facebook page under Krusty Canuck.
00:04:40.820
And I've actually had a couple debates with people on my other page in regards to
00:04:44.620
being paid to protest or being paid to be a soldier.
00:04:50.180
And I just shake my fucking head going, really?
00:04:54.480
Well, it's like if you feel you have to be paid to protest something that you're standing by
00:05:00.960
and that you're loving and that you're honoring, I think you're wasting your time.
00:05:07.600
I got paid for being a soldier because I showed up to work on time and did what I was told.
00:05:13.780
I'll give you my body and spirit for so many years and you'll pay me.
00:05:18.820
And it was a noble cause because I happened to love my country and I happened to believe
00:05:25.880
And not so much what the government was doing or not doing, but so much as what my leadership
00:05:31.660
and people I work with and serve with were doing.
00:05:45.440
Needless to say, folks, it's turning into a shitstorm.
00:05:48.940
And it's turning into bureaucratic bullshit, like the title says.
00:05:54.820
You can reach me at trustybcanuck67 at gmail.com.
00:05:59.140
Or you can find me on Facebook or on Instagram or on Twitter.
00:06:04.020
And I have, I had to reapply to my GoFundMe page.
00:06:11.860
So I'll leave that in the link in the bottom if you care to donate.
00:06:22.280
And as before, 30% of every donation and every sale from my Teespring line,
00:06:27.800
I will graciously give 30% to every, correction, not to every,
00:06:31.840
to Veterans Association Food Bank in Calgary, Alberta.
00:06:46.580
They help disabled veterans with walkways and sedgeways for wheelchairs,
00:06:56.520
If I had a dollar from every subscriber thus far,
00:06:59.160
I'd be well on my way to getting up and running a really good program.
00:07:04.500
And I'd be able to probably hire someone and pay them, too, a good wage.
00:07:09.280
If you feel like donating, please do consider it.
00:07:11.420
I'm not here to beg for coin, but every little bit helps.
00:07:17.760
Anyway, on with the whole blockades, bureaucratic BS.
00:07:25.080
Now, I just read today in the True North page there that Justin wants to okay $2.1 billion
00:07:36.540
Now, I have nothing against helping the First Nations.
00:07:41.440
I have nothing against helping the First Nations.
00:07:43.460
What I have against, though, is the mentality of throwing money at a problem.
00:07:56.480
And yet, the government can find the courage to ask or to take and to give away $2 more
00:08:02.720
Now, when I look at the First Nations, I look at them just as Canadian as what you and I
00:08:12.760
I look at every Canadian in this country as a Canadian.
00:08:15.680
Now, whether you identify with it or not, that's your personal right.
00:08:19.780
I'm not saying you will be a Canadian and you will submit to my evil ways.
00:08:37.420
It should all be appreciated and respected just as much as what you and I should be.
00:08:41.640
To make a long story short, I am sick and tired of the government handout.
00:08:48.200
Three years ago, Justin Trudeau had the audacity to say to a veteran who was missing part of
00:08:52.620
his legs, you're asking too much we're able to give right now.
00:08:55.480
And that was just after he handed ten and a half million dollars to one fucking kid that
00:09:08.000
He's also given money to small African nations that want parity.
00:09:12.020
And yet, some of these smaller African nations can't get their shit together.
00:09:18.960
He's obviously vying for a seat in the UN Council because he'd rather be a UN member
00:09:28.760
Bill Blair would rather kiss his ass than stand up for actual public safety.
00:09:32.600
Now, I have a couple of friends of mine that are police officers.
00:09:37.100
And in not so many words, they told me too, that they're not allowed to act or react until
00:09:42.580
the order is given for them to do so from higher up.
00:09:46.380
You know, and I think I dwelled in that briefly last week.
00:09:51.340
But I also dwelled in the fact to a matter of ethics.
00:09:53.780
Now, I'm all for protesting if you are against something.
00:09:57.240
I am all for protesting if you're against taking money from working class people to give it to the
00:10:12.240
But I'm not, uh, I'm not going to tolerate people who get paid to protest for the sake
00:10:17.120
of causing shit and stirring the pot in the name of some kind of fucking ideology that's
00:10:23.120
Now, I'll leave a link to another True North story that Andrew Lawson put together in regards
00:10:28.860
to Greta weighing in on her point of view, you know, a 16-year-old fucking genius telling
00:10:33.520
the rest of the world how we're going to clean up her act.
00:10:40.100
And as I was listening to Candace Malcolm's podcast, she mentioned a link from a bunch of
00:10:49.660
people called the North Shore Counter Info, and basically, I've got some papers here,
00:10:57.360
So, if you want to give them a hello and say, welcome to reality, motherfuckers, here we go.
00:11:03.180
Basically, North Shore Counter Info, this is outside of Southern Ontario, and I printed
00:11:07.780
this off today, 21st of February, but they have a whole column of what they're about, and
00:11:15.240
I'll just read some of it for you, about what we do, or at least what we strive to do.
00:11:21.380
North Shore Counter Info is a platform for sharing news, analysis, and events, as well
00:11:25.800
as facilitating discussion and encouraging collaboration.
00:11:29.260
We aspire to provide a space for strategic reflection, engaged critique, and thoughtful
00:11:33.900
debate from an anarchist to an anti-authoritarian perspective in Southern Ontario.
00:11:40.020
In spirit of overcoming isolation and creepy feelings of hopelessness, we want to build
00:11:45.880
a stronger regional network by sharing resources, publicizing activities, and putting us in
00:11:53.840
In absence of trusted and well-used spaces to share information, it can feel difficult
00:11:59.120
to build intentions, seek out accomplices, and take action.
00:12:02.900
Without platforms to exchange radical ideas about the current context in our towns and cities,
00:12:07.920
it's easy to be discouraged from putting in the work to build an analysis of what's possible
00:12:13.740
The limits of social media and corporate news are huge, and their logic completely counter
00:12:21.960
Now, when I look at liberty, meaning individuals having the freedom to do what they want to
00:12:26.560
do, grow their own food, pay their own bills, have a gun, smoke some weed, live by gay
00:12:31.540
neighbors, witness a gay wedding, or not witness a gay wedding, and just carrying on with
00:12:36.020
Now, when I think of anarchy, I think of disorder.
00:12:47.120
Anyhow, by no means will this website fix all these problems.
00:12:51.960
However, we believe that creating a shared infrastructure for communication is a small step towards developing
00:12:57.780
new ways of relating to each other and understanding our place on this land.
00:13:01.460
In doing so, we hope to contribute to building a decentralized and creative force capable of
00:13:06.740
meaningful pushing back against the state and capital in this area.
00:13:11.020
Okay, well, I can understand an anarchist point of view on that, but that's in the about section.
00:13:19.100
And I'm not going to read everything they have said, but you go to this website, and I'll leave
00:13:27.060
And they're basically telling you how to disrupt and destroy a rail line with whatever means
00:13:32.800
And note how they say the word comrades in there.
00:13:39.100
So when I look at anarchy, it's about individual responsibility.
00:13:51.520
Well, and I'm not going to read any more of it.
00:13:57.720
I highly suggest and I highly encourage my listeners and viewers out there to read it
00:14:02.120
yourself and give me your own personal opinion.
00:14:04.700
If you do, you can reach me at KrustyBCanuck67 at gmail.com or on the Facebook under Krusty
00:14:10.100
Canuck, on Instagram, Krusty Canuck, or correction, Canuck Krusty, and on Twitter.
00:14:15.000
I'll leave a link here at the bottom at the end of this broadcast.
00:14:20.940
All these blockades popping up, all these so-called revolutionaries taking shit, standing
00:14:31.660
And yet, some of the First Nations I have talked to personally on Facebook are all for
00:14:43.660
He overcame insurmountable obstacles growing up.
00:14:53.780
And I, for one, too, am getting sick and tired of the racism that's being thrown in our
00:15:01.140
The so-called projected racism that Mr. Mark Miller said when this crisis first started.
00:15:08.320
You know, here's a bunch of people blocking railways and blocking passive progression.
00:15:14.880
And the first thing that comes out of his fucking mouth, practically, is about racism and bigotry.
00:15:23.460
As an elected official who has appointed a job as an Eden Affairs Minister, just because
00:15:28.000
you can speak Mohawk, well, well done to you, sir.
00:15:30.680
You know, there's a few people I know that can speak fucking Gaelic.
00:15:34.680
In fact, when you look at that language, it's just as old as the native tongue.
00:15:42.760
But the first thing that comes out of your mouth is that you want to do things peaceful.
00:15:46.220
But then you pull the fucking racist card again.
00:15:48.840
Now, in the past five years of this country, I have seen good people lose their job.
00:15:57.460
I've seen good people be arrested and harassed because of words.
00:16:01.760
Not because of actions, not because someone stole something, or blew something up, or fired
00:16:12.580
And I'm sick and tired of this frickin' political correct BS.
00:16:17.240
So what I'm going to say, if there's any liberal cabinet minister by chance listening to this
00:16:21.860
podcast, you better start growing up and be an adult.
00:16:36.020
When people question a group, or a minority, or question this action, or that action, it's
00:16:43.960
It's trying to understand, trying to find common ground.
00:16:49.240
It has nothing to do with the color of one's skin.
00:16:52.320
You're right, historically, Canada was unfair to the First Nations.
00:17:05.760
Do you want to go back in time and annihilate the Roman Empire?
00:17:10.480
That's how you'd solve the problem as far as I'm concerned.
00:17:15.120
Jesus, I remember growing up, there was constant white-on-white prejudice over the clothes you
00:17:19.820
wore, the music you listened to, what you liked to do with yourself.
00:17:26.500
There was bantering back and forth from Catholics to Protestants.
00:17:32.320
From this type of Muslim to that type of Muslim.
00:17:35.520
There was constant bantering and prejudice back and forth in all aspects.
00:17:39.640
Never mind the minor racism I witnessed as a child.
00:17:46.120
So you want to sit there and constantly pull the race card.
00:17:51.880
You're creating more of a gap and you're creating more of a division.
00:17:58.960
It's about giving a group of people a fair shake for once.
00:18:06.640
But now, you've got the Trudeau government who wants to give away another $2 billion.
00:18:25.620
I'm not responsible for what happened from the 1860s to the 1990s.
00:18:30.120
It was a terrible fucking thing in our history.
00:18:37.120
That there were government officials and clergy that were okay with it.
00:18:49.100
Half of that clergy is either dead or in jail for doing fucking pedophilia crimes.
00:19:06.240
I don't care if you're First Nations, Chinese, Pakistani, East Indian.
00:19:10.180
We all built this country one way or the other.
00:19:13.520
And we've all contributed one way or the other.
00:19:35.780
My great-grandparents, yeah, they came over from England and Ireland, respectively.
00:19:40.220
But they had about 20 acres and they built a small farm.
00:19:47.040
And when they started making more money, their farm got bigger.
00:19:55.540
So these individuals that want to keep calling us settlers, take a look at yourself.
00:20:02.420
And then take a look in your wallet and realize what kind of currency is in that wallet.
00:20:06.560
And then take a look when you go talk to your employer.
00:20:11.220
Because all these protesters are coming out in the railway tracks saying, leave us alone.
00:20:26.920
You know, these blockades are proving nothing but disruption.
00:20:42.520
And lefty ideologues encouraging people to disrupt this and disrupt that.
00:20:57.780
Do you want people to step out of their trucks after a hard day?
00:21:19.960
Because then you're going to make their jobs harder.
00:21:24.640
They're going to have to pull out their revolvers.
00:21:30.820
And they're not going to care what side of the tracks you're on.
00:21:35.760
And if that doesn't work, then don't be surprised if some government official calls in aid to civil power.
00:21:43.520
Then you've got the troops coming down on your ass.
00:21:54.340
And to some of you snot boxes out there that do take the time to listen to my podcast and then throw in your so-called fascist comments, think about it.
00:22:06.160
You kids are not prepared for that kind of chaos.
00:22:09.500
You kids have no idea what combat and warfare is like.
00:22:16.800
Or what your little group of fucking anarchists tell you.
00:22:20.300
Talking about fighting for the good fight and getting rid of the establishment.
00:22:23.460
And yet it was probably the establishment that put fucking clothes on your back.
00:22:28.820
And put up with your wanting little tantrums when you couldn't watch your favorite fucking show at 4 o'clock.
00:22:43.440
I feel bad at times when I hear about First Nations not getting their credit due.
00:22:49.900
But I don't feel bad for somebody who wants to sit around all day and feel sorry for themselves and expect magical things just to fall from the fucking sky either.
00:23:00.500
I actually worked with a First Nations instructor back in my army days.
00:23:05.460
And he had some interesting stories to tell me about overcoming his own personal demons.
00:23:12.300
And realizing that he was in charge of his life.
00:23:18.020
And how he treated his soldiers shined fucking brightly.
00:23:23.880
I'm not going to give away his name because I respect his privacy.
00:23:50.620
Hasn't touched a drop of liquor in about 10 years.
