In this episode, Krusty talks about his experience in the federal election and the lessons he learned along the way. Also, he gives his thoughts on the Liberals winning the election and why they need to stop treating politicians like they are gods.
00:00:53.980Yeah, that's right, ladies and gentlemen. Episode 149 of the Krusty Canuck podcast.
00:00:58.960The election 2021. Same old shit, just a different pile.
00:01:03.040I'm your host, Krusty Canuck. And welcome back, everybody.
00:01:06.080Yes, it's been about a month and three days since my last podcast.
00:01:08.940And I've missed you all, honestly. I've missed all of you, my wonderful fans and listeners out there.
00:01:13.280And, well, it's been an adventure. Yes, I myself, Krusty Canuck, John Irwin, was running in the federal election under the Veterans Coalition Party banner.
00:01:22.700And in my area, I received 171 votes. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, 171 votes.
00:01:30.820Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty impressive, huh? Outstanding. Thank you very much.
00:01:35.880And with that experience comes a lot of humbling.
00:01:40.340Well, it's a humbling experience, to say the least.
00:01:44.300I, myself, I funded my campaign with some of my savings, what's left of them.
00:01:49.960And I made signs, made brochures, made some flyers.
00:01:54.420I had a couple of volunteers step up and give me a hand when they could.
00:01:58.440And I had others say that, oh, yeah, I'll help you out, Krusty.
00:02:01.180I'll help you out. And a lot of no-shows.
00:02:03.180So, that gives me a lesson right then and there, too.
00:02:06.920One of the other lessons I've learned in this campaign is how people really look up to a lot of these leaders.
00:02:15.040You know, it's more or less redefined.
00:02:17.320And I've said numerous times in the show, ladies and gentlemen, that, well, we got to stop treating these leaders like they're gods, okay?
00:02:26.680We got to stop treating these politicians like they're gods, like they know it all, because they don't.
00:02:36.000My competitors in this riding in Battle River Crowfoot, Damien, Tonya, Dennis, Daniel, Jeff, and the liberal incumbent who didn't show up, Laura.
00:02:48.280Needless to say, we had a pretty good discussion on things and policies, on mental health, on the environment, on money.
00:02:57.780Every politician that ran in this election is representing the party, okay?
00:03:06.720Now, a lot of this episode is off the cuff based on my experiences with the election, based on what I've projected before, what I've asked you, what you've said to me in response, all that good stuff.
00:03:17.320And I've only seen these leaders represent the party, not represent the constituents as it should, okay?
00:03:28.660I took it upon myself and based on the discussions I had with other members of the Veterans Coalition Party that we have to represent the riding, regardless of where you are, regardless of the populace or not.
00:03:38.960You have to represent the riding, ladies and gentlemen.
00:04:18.440Now, CTV and CBC are both guilty for automatically assuming that the liberals were going to win, okay?
00:04:25.460Now, this first-past-the-post BS they tried to promote back in 2015, they obviously didn't do anything about it because they rely on that to get ahead.
00:04:34.720So, once the liberals achieved 130 seats in parliament, all of a sudden, it's assumed they won, they got the minority, okay?
00:04:40.980Without counting the other votes from the other side of the country.
00:04:44.580And we saw it as plain as day on color TV, as plain as day, okay, this is how it's going to roll.
00:04:50.860So, like I said, I received 171 votes, ladies and gentlemen.
00:04:56.000That's 171 people that agreed with what I had to say that wanted me to go to parliament because they voted for me.
00:05:01.860And to me, that's a pretty good thing.
00:05:05.440That's 171 strangers who said, yes, Krusty Canuck, we believe in what you got to do.
00:05:26.580And I want to thank everybody in the Battle River Crowfoot for giving me that opportunity.
00:05:29.680Now, because we have a minority government yet again, possibility of an election coming in another 18 months to two years is inevitable, right?
00:05:40.340So, but now that we have a minority government, now, based on the last stats I saw on CBC, of all places, the liberals only have 151 or 152 seats.
00:05:53.560So, they've lost a few based on mail-in ballots, okay?
00:06:28.960But based on my experience out there for the better part of a month, getting signatures, talking to people, promoting our campaign, promoting our platforms, promoting common sense, blue-collar basics that we need back in Parliament again, the majority of Canadians still voted for the Liberal mandate, okay?
00:06:45.640So to my listeners out there in the GTA area, now our personal care you voted for, you vote for who you think the better person is.
00:06:53.000But when you actually look at what the Liberals have done to this country, okay, they've put us into debt.
00:07:02.300They've made us a laughingstock with our NATO allies and other allies, respectively, okay?
00:07:08.460They basically put together the principle of gender parity, which means we have to give jobs to certain people because of their gender and because of their color and their beliefs, whatever, not based on merit.
00:07:21.040And they've also instilled quite a bit of fear into the average Canadian in regards to gun ownership, in regards to vaccinations and non-vaccinations, towards compliance and towards how we look at the world, okay?
00:07:33.920Now, when you summarize all of the efforts that the Liberal Party has made in the past six years, remind me what achievements they've come across.
00:07:45.460Now, I've had numerous people weigh in on my Crusty Neck page on Facebook and my community page on YouTube and sent me emails in regards to how I should show more loyalty to said Liberal Party,
00:07:55.780how I should show more respect to such the great achievements of these elected officials.
00:08:00.720What achievements, what kind of achievement do you need, what kind of qualification do you need to rip Canadians off, to lie to them about carbon taxes, to lie to them about everything in general, and to constantly promote a racial divide?
00:09:20.400And I basically went out and did the old college try, my own personal elbow grease and intestinal fortitude, and I handed out a lot of these flyers.
00:09:28.400And I knocked on doors and I talked to people.
00:09:31.980And interestingly enough, a lot of people were very responsive and quite the positive feedback.
00:09:38.220And what this election taught me too is that people still crave the blue collar basics.
00:09:42.240People still want common sense brought to Parliament.
00:09:44.460But there's a majority of people that just didn't really care.
00:09:48.800And there was abundance of people out there that didn't really vote either.
00:10:09.900So I'd like to remind my listeners and viewers out there too, that the parliamentary system, it's about the person representing you, not the party.
00:10:22.320So if they do call another election in 18 months or two years, because Justin didn't get his majority and his feelings were hurt because people didn't buy a lot of his BS, but he still got elected.
00:10:32.660Um, we have to get back to that, ladies and gentlemen, we have to get back to that simple thing of understanding what the parliamentarian should be doing for you.
00:10:43.520Now, it doesn't matter if you come from a riding of 20,000 people or 25,000 people or 200,000 people, or like my riding, 110,000 people.
00:10:51.300With a voter base of 80,000 plus, I highly recommend people get out there and vote.
00:11:24.220And all I can say is that hopefully if they do call another election, you know, in two years time, because they most likely will, because in the history of this country, I have not seen a minority government last any more than two years or two and a half years for that matter.
00:11:42.520And when you look at the price tag of this election, $610 million, that's what this, that was the overall projection of what it costs Canadian taxpayer.
00:11:50.440That $610 million bucks could have gone to the seniors increases.
00:11:54.100That could have gone to cleaner water.
00:11:56.080That could have gone to better investigations and creation when it comes to the green tech they keep talking about.
00:12:02.700That could have helped a lot of people out in these trying times.
00:12:08.140And when you watch all the ads that were on, the anti-liberal ad, the anti-conservative ad, you know, Yagmeet Singh sitting in a shower talking about voting NDP because, you know, we'll do this for you.
00:12:47.320It doesn't matter what party you're with.
00:12:48.780You've got to represent the people in your riding to the best of your ability.
00:12:52.040And we've had lots of points back and forth, myself and the other candidates, in regards to health care, mental awareness, mental health care, the environment.
00:13:01.320Yeah, we all had points and we all bantered back and forth.
00:13:05.820But there's one thing I did notice through all the parties, though.
00:13:09.140They didn't really talk about their constituents.
00:13:13.760They didn't talk about love of nation.
00:13:49.240You know, and I really liked her platform when it comes to understanding mental awareness.
00:13:52.320I don't agree with the NDP platform where it means taking more money out of your pocket because Yagmeet Singh's little plan was going to cost the Canadian taxpayer $214 billion.
00:14:04.640And of course, he thought he was going to get all that cash from those so-called 40 billionaires in this country.
00:14:08.820When in reality, it's just going to up the ante on your taxes and everything that we enjoy dearly in this country.
00:14:15.980And when I look at Aaron Tull's platform, getting a million people back to work.
00:14:20.740But getting back to work where exactly, Aaron?
00:14:24.460And again, what was your stance on C-10, C-36, and the guns in this country?
00:14:30.280And of course, the liberal platform, you know, we're going to take more of your money to create better things.
00:14:35.240Yet, we're not going to let the oil flow.
00:14:36.620We're not going to let our resources flow.
00:14:38.060No, we're just going to keep it stagnant and hopefully the taxpayer will foot the effing bill.
00:14:44.020So basically, since 2019, ladies and gentlemen, we are back at square one again.
00:14:49.300More debt, more racial divide that was incurred by the government, not by the people, and more divide when it comes to vaccines.
00:14:56.540Because you see all the protests leading up to this past federal election.
00:15:01.320You've got all three parties talking about vaxxers and anti-vaxxers.
00:15:05.220How about people that want to end the BS?
00:15:08.540How about call them protesters because they're sick and tired of being told what to think, what to do, what to put in their face, and what to put in their bodies?
00:15:17.300And I have personally talked to some of those individuals that are at these freedom rallies, and there are quite a few of them have their double vaccinations.
00:15:24.780And yet, they're still being told what line to walk, what to think, what to do.
00:15:32.180And now, there's an abundance of people actually getting sick, even though they've had their two shots, like they were told to.
00:15:38.120Because a few months ago, if you don't remember, they're saying, we have to get everybody up to 70% or more inoculated to make this a little more liberal.
00:15:45.780To make this a little more liberating for us all, so we can open up more and let people be free again.
00:15:53.580And yet, now there's 70-odd percent of people that are vaccinated, but then people are still getting sick, and then people are still getting hurt, and then there's still an abundance of this.
00:16:02.580And then, all of a sudden, it's because of the 380,000 people in Alberta that are not inoculated yet.
00:17:31.320So please consider, ladies and gentlemen, you'll see the link in my description, plus here on the picture, too.

00:19:10.100So, but in the meantime, if you do want to donate, do it on my webpage there, too.
00:19:46.160So, I think that had a lot to do with the fact that she called the Taliban her brothers.
00:19:51.640And we've all seen that on national news and CTV, CBC, global alike.
00:19:56.140How she played with the Taliban brothers to let people go and have their freedom and all that, too.
00:20:01.580So, it serves her right, ladies and gentlemen.
00:20:04.020Because by that statement that she made to the national audience, it made my job and the job of my brothers and sisters who fought and served over there and to some of our men and women that died over there.
00:20:22.920So, not only was she insulting to the service and the loyalty that our men and women gave to that country to help the less fortunate in that country out, it was a slap in the face to everything that we have done.
00:20:54.200And representing the people of the utmost is the utmost virtue, I would say.
00:20:59.500When you look at our parliamentary system, when we have these writings, I would admit that there's not fair representation,
00:21:06.000especially when it comes to the more popular areas, i.e. like Ontario and Quebec, especially around the GTA and the greater Montreal areas, too.
00:21:13.580What gets me, though, is when I was watching the national debates, I actually watched the French version and I watched the English version, too.
00:21:22.740And what gets me, why was there two French versions and only one English version?
00:21:30.580And as much as I disagree with some of the PPC policies, I think Mac should have had a fair chance on being there as well.
00:21:39.100OK, because here's a guy who organized a party from the ground up.
00:21:42.040And regardless of how some of my fans feel about it or not, he still has, he still should have had the opportunity to be there to present his case.
00:21:52.160Any political leader, for that matter?
00:21:53.560Now, as far as I know, the PPC received 800,000 plus votes Canada wide and yet still didn't get a seat.
00:22:01.920They actually had more votes for the PPC than the Greens ever did, yet the Greens gained a seat.
00:22:07.820So that's, oh, fuck, pardon my French, but still just weird, right?
00:22:13.180Now, the candidate in this area that was running for the PPC banner, nice guy, you know, and all the people that I ran against were downright decent human beings, regardless of if we agreed on these policies or not.
00:22:26.260But I was a firm believer saying, you know, Max should have had a chance to be there at the English debate.
00:22:31.920He should have, you know, and I may Paul had her chance and, you know, and as well articulate as she was, she still pulled the race card out.
00:22:44.120And when I hear a politician or see a politician do that, I honestly lose interest because I personally don't judge anybody based on their gender or color of skin.
00:22:53.940I base people on their actions and how they treat others.
00:23:02.920What I care about is that if she's there representing her riding, representing her morals and her beliefs in the name of her party and what she wants to do.
00:23:13.980But regardless of how she was sparring with Mr. Blanchette or not, or how she was sparring with the other guys, I didn't find her as genuine as a lot of people said.
00:23:26.540And what gets me is that there's still infighting within the Green Party about her status and where she stands, where certain other members stand, like regardless.
00:23:34.840And that shouldn't be, that shouldn't be a thing.
00:23:37.160There should be some issues there sorted out right away.
00:23:39.960And if you didn't want her as your leader, then why'd you elect her?
00:23:55.180Why couldn't you have all those leaders sparring back and forth?
00:23:57.720I could see Max Bernier tuning in Yves Blanchette pretty well when it comes to separation and favorites that have been given to La Belle Provence all the time in regards to oil and resources and how it should be catered to.
00:24:09.800But in the same sense, there should be favorites picked in all ridings.
00:24:15.000People should have the voice and representation there.
00:24:18.040And I personally don't feel there's quite a bit of representation there in those debates.
00:24:36.060I don't think the points are made clear enough and I really think it was just put together in the name of political correctness rather than political integrity and honesty.
00:25:45.020This past election has taught me a lot in regards to working for people, helping people out, doing what you can, right?
00:25:53.020A lot of common sense politics we're not seeing today, all right?
00:25:56.980Now, in the news, of course, there's four individuals that are under the scrutiny of the RCMP that have been arrested for fraudulent charges.
00:26:05.640Now, was that set up because the election's over?
00:26:08.980Or are the RCMP actually taking initiative to do something about this problem, okay?
00:26:14.120And we all know what Justin Trudeau did with the SNC-Lavalin.
00:26:16.420Let's look after these little guys first before we look after the whole country, right?
00:26:20.140Because there's lots of slaps and tickles going around, helping each other out.
00:26:40.360And there's also a candidate from the federal Conservatives looking into the integrity of Mr. O'Toole as well, too.
00:26:49.460I'll leave a link description of that.
00:26:50.740But what I read, it's basically putting Mr. O'Toole on the spot.
00:26:55.780Now, I used to think Mr. O'Toole had what it took to get things done for the Conservative Party.
00:27:01.660Maybe because it was a bias towards the fact that he was a vet as much as I am, that he had a military background, he understood things, he was blue-collar-based, he'd come from some humble beginnings.
00:27:13.640But after watching his efforts in the federal election, he kind of sidestepped quite a bit.
00:27:21.960He sidestepped when it came to the gun issue.
00:27:26.280One minute he's saying he's not going to enforce the OIC, and then he says he's going to leave it alone, leave it as is.
00:28:01.860And there were two pay raises that happened last April 1st in 2020 and this past April 1st, 2021.
00:28:08.840So regardless of how you feel about it or whether you vote against it or not, there's still quite a bit of individuals that okayed it and took it.
00:28:17.140While other Canadians were hunting and losing their jobs and trying to keep their businesses open.
00:28:22.060That's something that I would expect the Damien taxpayer to take personally.
00:31:22.240Sunday Fastball saw its last episode a few weeks back.
00:31:25.880Unfortunately, it's just Sundays now will be dedicated to my home life, but there will be another live stream in the works.
00:31:38.300I'm not sure if I'm going to fastball or Thursday's Fastball with Krusty Canuck.
00:31:43.280Anyhow, I will do a once-a-week live stream again, just working on the format and who's available for that, too.
00:31:50.340I'm going to bring back some of the old panel, like Elle, Fred, Adam, and hopefully some others, too.
00:31:55.740And I'm going to be working on talking to some more politicians in the next couple of weeks.
00:31:59.700I got something in the works with the leader of the Wild Rose Party here in Alberta, Paul Hynum, or Hynum, I think his name is.
00:32:06.200Anyway, I talked to him briefly yesterday on a cell phone there, just talking ideas, talking shop, what have you.
00:32:13.580So hopefully he'll be a guest on my next live stream.
00:32:16.300We'll get that sorted out, and I'll keep you posted on the YouTube page and the Facebook page, respectively, too.
00:32:22.520And like I say, folks, please share this around to all your social media platforms, too.
00:32:27.220Let's get rid of this censorship algorithm and create our own.
00:32:30.680That way we can get our own voices out there so people can read and listen and enjoy at their leisure.
00:32:36.820Like I've said, this election has taught me some wonderful things, too.
00:32:41.620And not too many of these guys talked about censorship, either.
00:32:46.400Now, mind you, though, too, the moderators of said forums didn't really talk too much about censorship.
00:32:54.920And there weren't too many questions that came in in regards to Bill C-10 and C-36, which kind of stirred me up a bit, too.
00:33:04.300So, but needless to say, I was there to represent our party and what our platforms were in regards to looking after the Canadian people, the taxpayer.
00:33:12.860So I guess that wasn't on people's minds.
00:33:16.000But needless to say, with this minority government, who are we going to trust?
00:33:20.160Who are we going to trust when it comes to what we see online, what we do online?
00:33:28.820Are the liberals going to enforce this once they get their off their asses and back to work?
00:33:33.440Are they going to enforce C-10, even though it didn't pass to the Senate?
00:33:38.400But are they going to try to reiterate it?
00:33:41.680Are they going to put C-36 through and tell us what we can see and what we can read and what we can say online?
00:33:46.520And, you know, even Mr. Yagmeet Singh, Mr. NDP leader, Mr. Kumbaya drum circle guy who drives a BMW and takes advantage of airplanes and cars like the rest of us, right?
00:33:59.100He's a firm believer in censoring what's online, too.
00:34:01.860And Mr. Blanchette was more willing to help Justin Trudeau the first time it was read in the House of Commons.
00:34:08.500So we got to really think about this, too.
00:34:11.480Who's going to be backing up Justin Trudeau's ridiculous mandates and who isn't, right?
00:34:15.500So that's something that's going to happen in the future, hopefully, too.
00:34:18.520But I, for one, I'm not going to tolerate it.
00:34:20.140And neither should you, ladies and gentlemen, because you have your right to see and hear and do what you want when it comes to online life.
00:34:26.160You know, and I can generally say that most Canadians, we're not bigoted.
00:36:43.020I don't know what's the problem with that.
00:36:44.740I've tried to sign in, change my password and everything, too.
00:36:47.820For some reason, I cannot get on Getter anymore.
00:36:49.500But I'm also looking at other options as well, too.
00:36:52.980But in the meantime, you can check me out on YouTube, Facebook, Brighton, Wimkin, and Rumble in the meantime.
00:36:59.600So, like I say, if you like and hear what you see, please like, subscribe, and comment, and share this all around your social media platforms, ladies and gentlemen.
00:37:06.840Now, this brings me to the point of the episode, and I know some of you have missed it, because I've had some emails for some people.
00:37:13.500Cross to you, we're not going to bring back the polar vortex of bullshit.
00:37:16.040Well, like, you know, like the old 80s TV show, you've asked for it.
00:37:19.420So, on this episode's version of the polar vortex of, or correction, the Canadian polar vortex of bullshit.
00:37:28.540Well, the recipient of the Canadian polar vortex of bullshit this week, this episode is, wait for it.
00:37:50.360Well, it's kind of hard to say, because I'm part of it, too.
00:38:00.460I would say the recipient of the Canadian polar vortex of bullshit is none other than all the participants, including myself, in this past election.
00:38:14.200Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I jumped the gun.
00:38:16.040And I wanted to represent and fight the good fight for people, as any Canadian should.
00:38:21.160However, I think the timing was way off, and I think the priorities are way off on those winners and the leaders alike.
00:39:46.420They're Canadian people that are fed up with the bullshit, and they're fed up with the status quo mentality.
00:39:51.200They're disappointed with the premiers who keep locking things down, who are enforcing the passports, enforcing this, enforcing that, and it's turning into a totalitarian shit show.
00:40:01.680So I encourage all the people out there that are protesting and fighting against the ridiculous mandates, keep on doing it.
00:40:09.260Keep on fighting the good fight, and keep standing your ground.
00:40:11.780It's that simple, ladies and gentlemen.
00:41:02.740And still, you think you need to enforce these mandates in the name of safety when you and I both know it's a matter of control and compliance.
00:41:16.360And to all those businesses out there that have screwed me over the past year and a half, okay, I'm tired of being nice myself.
00:41:24.540Another thing that taught me in this election is how to stand up for what's right and look people in the eye and tell them what you think.
00:41:33.580So to all those employers out there that have to be listening to this, who had me in their employ, who just dismissed me because of safety or company mandates, up yours.
00:42:18.480And I will start with my experiences too.
00:42:21.480So in the next episode of the Krusty Connect podcast, I'll make a point of mentioning said companies and said employers that have treated their staff like absolute garbage in the name of these mandates.
00:42:32.560So to my fans and listeners out there, let me know exactly what's going on if you want to.
00:42:59.060Anyhow, this is the end of episode 149, ladies and gentlemen.
00:43:03.400I want to say thank you again to people I ran with in the federal election and to my lovely constituents and backers and supporters.
00:43:11.560Thank you once again for the kind emails and messages that you have sent me and especially the support you've given to me and my wife during these trying times.
00:43:19.420Thank you once again to my friends and family that send me words of encouragement and positive reinforcement.
00:43:41.460But if you have a few extra bucks, please don't hesitate to donate.
00:43:45.880Not like I'm not working for it, ladies and gentlemen.
00:43:48.260So, but like I say, do what you can to help each other out in these trying times, ladies and gentlemen.
00:43:52.320And please pay attention to my pages for updates and what have you.
00:43:56.440Like I say, I'm trying to get some key politicians on my next live stream so I can.
00:44:00.900But like I say, just pay attention to my update pages on YouTube and Facebook, respectively.
00:44:05.940And I'll keep you informed to the best of my ability and what's coming up on the Crusting Out podcast in the near future.
00:44:11.400Like I say, it's good to be back getting the roll on again and getting the words out there for all you, my wonderful fans and listeners alike.
