Transcript
00:00:00.000
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It's a beautiful 14th of October, 2021.
00:00:04.540
Coming up with the Crusty Guy podcast, episode 152, Uncertainty.
00:00:12.900
All that and more, listener discretion is advised.
00:00:39.900
From Western Canada, this is the Crusty Canuck podcast, a Canadian veteran's point of view
00:00:46.760
on political, social, economic issues, and life.
00:00:54.000
That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to episode 152.
00:00:58.620
That's what my speculation is for this country thus far.
00:01:06.020
And if you like and hear what you see, please click like, subscribe.
00:01:13.620
So, in today's headlines, we have a lot of stories in regards to the mannequin that was
00:01:22.020
Yes, I'm guilty for posting it on my Facebook page.
00:01:24.900
Nonetheless, I put it there just to promote the fact that there's some journalists out
00:01:29.780
there that just don't give a shit about what they're saying.
00:01:32.000
And needless to say, I've read different articles from the National Post, from other conglomerates.
00:01:37.760
And basically, it was a training session that was set up in regards to displaying to the
00:01:43.200
general public what an ICU looks like when someone has the beer bug and they're plugged
00:01:50.880
Needless to say, ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't look good.
00:01:56.260
Been an interesting week or so in the name of Canadian politics, especially in regards
00:02:00.220
to Krista Freeland, now in the States, talking about border opening and all that stuff in
00:02:04.940
But you've heard my rant and raves in regards to how the federal government in this country
00:02:14.420
Oh, Krusty Kanak, again, is saying all this crap about the government.
00:02:18.440
Like I said, you know, we live in a day and age where there is a lot of fear mongering
00:02:23.420
going on, a lot of finger pointing, a lot of blaming, you know, non-vaccinated, oh, my
00:02:33.940
Now, I'll say again and reiterate, if you want to get the vaccine, go and get the vaccine,
00:02:39.840
If you don't want the vaccine, then don't do it.
00:02:44.220
But we're seeing the headlines in national news in regards to how the Maple Leafs are
00:02:49.520
going to open up Air Canada Centre again or Scotiabank Place, let them play hockey,
00:02:55.700
We watched some footage yesterday in regards to Team Canada kicking Panama's butt for World
00:03:00.480
Qualification or World Cup Qualification matches.
00:03:08.480
So I'm starting to think that things are winding down regardless of what province you live in
00:03:13.300
Now, no one in their right mind is denying the fact that COVID is not real.
00:03:20.900
Now, in the first few months of it spreading, I was speculative because we weren't hearing
00:03:25.800
a lot of details on it because you used to have health ministers that would say this,
00:03:32.140
Teresa Tam telling you to stick your ding-ding into a hole for the sake of safe sex, wear a
00:03:38.860
Haydew telling us where to stay, where not to go, where not to be.
00:03:42.560
And yet she's traveling all over the province via airways, dictating to us what we have to
00:03:47.880
So I can see the uncertainty there, ladies and gentlemen.
00:03:51.420
I can see why any person, anybody with common sense would be uncertain in regards to the rules
00:03:57.360
and all these lockdowns and everything like that.
00:03:59.040
I, for one, saying end the lockdowns now, let's get the shit on the go here, and let's get back
00:04:05.740
I'm talking real normalcy where you can go outside and have fun with your friends and family,
00:04:11.380
Come in wintertime, go out for a skate, play some hockey.
00:04:15.300
You know, in the wintertime, go out and enjoy regular festivities in the summertime, springtime,
00:04:22.840
Basically reinstating the freedom yet once again.
00:04:25.620
But unfortunately, the way things are working out now economically and socially, things are
00:04:36.220
It's turning into more and more fear, ladies and gentlemen, more and more fear when it comes
00:04:48.740
But because of you, my viewers and listeners, you've given me purpose every other day too
00:04:52.600
to put an episode up there to entertain you to the best of my ability.
00:04:56.340
And I'm very, very thankful for that, ladies and gentlemen, right?

At least help the algorithm going on there so people are paying attention.
00:05:11.520

00:05:16.340
You can also donate at my webpage at crustycanuck.ca slash donations.
00:05:19.800
I have a PayPal subscription and the Buy Me Coffee subscription too.
00:05:25.820
Anyway, carrying on with more uncertainty, it lies ahead.
00:05:27.980
Yes, we're not getting the concrete answers as we should, ladies and gentlemen, especially
00:05:32.380
in regards to what's going on in the fiscal future, okay?
00:05:36.960
Like I said earlier, Ms. Freeland's down in the States pleading with the Americans to let
00:05:43.020
But I think it's more of a deterrent, if anything.
00:05:45.620
Just like how people are speculating how Mr. O'Toole is not going to keep his leadership
00:05:50.300
on the Conservative Party on the national level too.
00:05:55.940
And yours truly, because I ran in the federal election, I got to see some of how the leadership
00:06:01.520
on all parties are promoting the welfare of their members and the welfare of their constituents.
00:06:08.680
And it doesn't look pretty, ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:11.640
And yes, I will run in the next federal election if it comes around.
00:06:18.720
Hopefully in the next couple of years, we'll see.
00:06:21.700
The thing is too, when I look back at this election, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
00:06:25.780
I think the Liberals got two more seats and the Conservatives stayed at 119.
00:06:29.180
And I think the NDP gained one more seat and the Block lost two seats or something.
00:06:35.080
So there wasn't too much of a difference on the national scale, however, too.
00:06:38.260
But when I'm looking at all the uncertainty of these parties, okay, the Greens can't sort
00:06:44.620
You know, Anna Mae Paul might have said this, might have done that.
00:06:50.100
There's a lot of infighting going on there with her and where she stands on things.
00:06:54.240
There's also a lot of infighting with the Liberal Cabinet, which is nothing really new.
00:06:57.900
And there's some infighting going on with the Conservatives too.
00:07:01.220
The Block, I'm not worried about the Block at all.
00:07:03.380
You know, I really don't give two craps about the Block at the moment right now.
00:07:06.400
So what I care about is the sake of keeping this government together to do what it's supposed
00:07:12.880
Because we both know how they all get paid and how much they get paid and how much they
00:07:18.580
brag about it and how many more government jobs they have created in the name of the
00:07:23.300
economy, which we know is just a tactic to deter us from, you know, actually asking the
00:07:31.720
No needless to say, it's turning into a real shit show.
00:07:33.820
So no wonder there's a lot of uncertainty on their parts, ladies and gentlemen.
00:07:37.000
Yours truly is not sure what lies ahead, to be honest with you.
00:07:44.520
And there's always going to be something that's going through a wrench in the system.

00:09:02.700
There's a lot of jobs out there for people to grab and for people to take.
00:09:05.240
Like, yours truly, I have been hunting high and low for meaningful work to keep the lights
00:09:13.360
That's why I'm always pleading every episode, if you can donate, please consider donating.
00:09:19.300
You can enter as much as you can, but it's getting tough for everybody, ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:24.240
And there's a lot of employers out there too that constantly want to instill more fear
00:09:31.640
Now, I don't believe in the vaccine passports whatsoever.
00:09:35.240
I don't believe in having to show someone your papers.
00:09:38.220
You know, you go to sit down with your wife or a loved one or a family member or a friend
00:09:41.320
and having somebody in the waitstaff or the security staff checking your ID to see if
00:09:54.140
I personally think that's a violation of your privacy, period.
00:09:58.880
That's like saying to somebody, did you wipe today?
00:10:06.420
Not that it's anybody's business, but, you know, I think it catch my drift.
00:10:10.480
Now, and I can understand when it comes to wanting people to be safe and to be secure.
00:10:15.480
But let's look at this realistically, ladies and gentlemen.
00:10:17.640
The more you try to enforce that on people, the more you're going to deter people from
00:10:25.580
And considering the amount of hard times we have had the past year and a half, pretty
00:10:33.020
Can you really afford to do that to your business?
00:10:36.840
Or you don't want hassle from the AHS or any kind of health authority, but then you become
00:10:46.240
Now I haven't had any problems with any establishments that are probably because I don't have a lot
00:10:49.740
of money to go out and take my wife to a nice dinner at the moment, but I haven't had
00:10:58.360
For longer periods of time though, I can't because I have anxiety issues when it comes to that.
00:11:02.420
And I actually have a medical chat that states that I cannot wear this mask for long periods
00:11:09.440
And I've dealt with a couple of employers that have said they have accommodated me on
00:11:16.360
So there's quite a bit of contradiction out there, ladies and gentlemen, in the rural areas
00:11:19.740
and the smaller towns and the bigger towns and the bigger cities in this province too.
00:11:23.600
So there's quite a bit hypocrisy out there telling people what to effing do, right?
00:11:30.900
More of this monkey see, monkey do, do as I say, not as I do, right?
00:11:37.400
And I can honestly say a lot of people are getting angry, getting angry at all of this,
00:11:52.240
All the little witch hunts and all the snitch lines that are coming and going.
00:11:56.260
True North News did a great story about the snitch lines.
00:11:59.220
The Andrew Lawton Show, I'll leave a link to that show there too.
00:12:02.540
You can think for your, or listen to yourselves there, ladies and gentlemen.
00:12:10.740
More snitches are coming out of the way to work to prove what?
00:12:14.180
You're doing your part for public safety by ratting on your neighbors.
00:12:18.520
And it's not just coming from a few NGOs here, you know, non-government offices.
00:12:23.460
It's being encouraged by the Saskatchewan government and the Alberta government alike in regards to telling on people.
00:12:41.180
I'm doing my part of the community by telling on people because they're conglomerating over here having a picnic lunch or they're conglomerating over there sitting there playing a reach around.
00:12:50.620
Is that a viable solution, ladies and gentlemen?
00:13:00.320
That's what we need to do though, is to be kind and considerate.
00:13:03.500
You know, we've all heard the saying, those snitches get stitches, right?
00:13:06.320
Yeah, well, I'm not one to promote that kind of violence.
00:13:11.440
But it's getting to the point where you're backing people into a corner though, ladies and gentlemen.
00:13:16.040
So when you think about snitching on somebody who is not wearing a mask or who's not being socially distant or walking the imaginary line that has been submitted for your approval in the name of safety, I highly suggest you think twice.
00:13:39.800
It's going to have its repercussion and you're not going to like the result.
00:13:42.720
Stay updated and follow Krusty Canuck on Facebook, Twitter, Gap, Telegram, YouTube, and Podbean.
00:13:57.240
Yeah, so once again, we're back to episode 152, Uncertainty is what lies ahead.
00:14:02.840
Now, I've had a few emails the past week in regards to where I stand and where some of my fans and some new fans have stood.
00:14:12.240
And they told me not to mention their name on the show, which I won't, but because the information they have given me, they have showed me some other insights and other perspectives when it comes to the safety and the harnessing and what have you.
00:14:38.080
Don't you lasso and harness a calf during a rodeo?
00:14:48.940
And I promised as individual I would not display his words on my show.
00:14:52.900
But needless to say, when he used the word harness, I'm like, okay, interesting.
00:15:01.340
But the email basically stayed we have to harness and make sure we do no more harm.
00:15:06.540
And it's like, well, people aren't livestock, buddy.
00:15:08.520
So if you're watching this right now there, Buckeye, maybe you should use better context and display and say exactly what you mean next time you write me an email to that standard.
00:15:48.500
When you start saying, well, you have to harness people here and harness people there, I get a little concerned.
00:15:54.900
Because I've seen the results of harnessing people.
00:16:05.020
Do you honestly think it's going to look good here?
00:16:10.920
I highly recommend to my listeners and viewers out there, too.
00:16:14.360
Please keep asking the tough questions, if you can.
00:16:21.860
Because, you know, Parliament hasn't sat in session yet.
00:16:24.880
They're still taking their sweet FA, sweet F in time to get this done, to get that done.
00:16:31.920
And it doesn't look like they're going to be sitting in Parliament anytime soon because they have to, you know, go back and forth on holidays and what have you.
00:16:38.760
And, of course, there have been members of the Queen's opposition stating how disappointed they are in regards to how Justin took his time in Tofino, like I mentioned in last week's episode.
00:16:49.280
He'd rather go surf than deal with any real problems.
00:16:52.320
And now we also have an issue with clean water in Equalit up in the Nunavut area, Northwest Territories or formerly Northwest Territories.
00:16:59.880
Anyway, the Canadian Arctic, to my American listeners out there and my European listeners, too.
00:17:04.960
So, there's an issue with that whole town having contaminated water.
00:17:10.280
Apparently, people are smelling diesel when they turn on their faucets.
00:17:13.340
So, the whole water table is contaminated, as far as I know, or at least the plant isn't working up to snuff.
00:17:19.800
Now, what gets me is that there's been a clean water issue with our First Nation Reserve for a very, very long time now.
00:17:25.680
And now the national news is holding on to this story for dear life.
00:17:30.660
What's different to that than the reservation issues?
00:17:37.480
It just goes to show the media's priority here, too.
00:17:41.060
One of the platforms we had, or we still have in the Veterans Coalition Party, is that clean water for all.
00:17:47.820
And that's a municipal and a provincial thing, too, as far as we're concerned, too.
00:17:52.800
If your municipality has issues with running water and clean water, then you've got to sort the municipality out.
00:17:58.580
And if you can't snort the municipality out, or snort, sort the municipalities out, then you've got to get the province to step in there and sort it out for you.
00:18:09.080
So, why does a town in the northern part of the planet have issues with clean water?
00:18:16.860
Why does any town in this country have issues with clean water?
00:18:19.920
Because someone's getting paid, something was ignored, and something wasn't done.
00:18:24.620
So, you can obviously say human error, big time, human fucking error at its finest.
00:18:29.420
It can also say a lack of respect and a lack of courage to do the hard work to get things done.
00:18:37.680
Someone's taking funds and screwing the pooch and screwing the people.
00:18:48.660
You can reach me via email at gmail.crustybcanuck67 at gmail.com.
00:18:59.120
And you can also find me at Rumble, Breitin, and Wimkin, too.
00:19:02.400
Every time I load these videos, I load it up on those three platforms.
00:19:12.920
Commentary and thumbs up, likes, all that good stuff is encouraged.
00:19:18.680
Anyway, carrying on again with more of the uncertainty.
00:19:22.140
The more I think about it, the more it kind of drives me up the wall.
00:19:26.160
And I'm sure it drives you up the wall, too, ladies and gentlemen.
00:19:29.000
You know, we can sit here all day and go, what if, what if, what if, what if.
00:19:38.100
And it doesn't matter if we go to a municipal representative or a provincial representative or a federal representative.
00:19:44.260
It doesn't matter if it's an MLA, an MP, a mayor-to-be, a town council person.
00:20:01.880
Let's keep doing the old, you know, back and forth, checkmate, checkers, checkmate, checkers, over and over again.
00:20:23.240
In regards to how uncertain these times are going to be, we still have to maintain a level head to the best of our abilities, ladies and gentlemen.
00:20:29.800
I can sit here all day and talk about innovations when it comes to being kind to people.
00:20:41.040
Just like I said during my campaign, back to basics.
00:20:47.140
You see someone crying or someone in pain, do what you can to help them out.
00:20:51.340
And if they look at you and say, leave me the fuck alone, oh, okay, then leave me alone.
00:21:01.160
The best thing to do is to be neighborly at the best of our ability.
00:21:05.980
It doesn't matter if you're gay, straight, bi, tri.
00:21:19.540
And set the better example that we are given every time we turn on the boob tube or read a paper.
00:21:26.260
There's still speculation in regards to censorship in this country, too.
00:21:35.180
To tell us what to think and what to say and what to write and how to be.
00:21:42.580
How to hold our spouse ever so tightly and romantically.
00:21:46.300
Are they going to tell us once again to put our privates in a glory hole and hope for a kiss and maybe a reach around.
00:21:55.780
Who's to say, ladies and gentlemen, who's to say.
00:21:57.820
But it doesn't look too promising when these guys keep talking.
00:22:08.940
And you would have hoped that this election might have changed that, too.
00:22:13.200
But it also goes to show that there's a lot of people who love the comfort.
00:22:19.540
Who love the comfort and the idea of the safety keeping them warm at night.
00:22:25.280
When they fail to realize that what keeps them warm at night is fossil fuels.
00:22:38.180
But, you know, they wanted safety and comfort over reality and democracy.
00:22:45.640
Like I say, once again, ladies and gentlemen, please consider donating, too.
00:22:49.380
And once again, consider the t-shirt and mug offer, too.

00:23:04.800

00:23:16.260

00:23:35.920
Basic pattern, black t-shirt, Krusty Canuck podcast.
00:23:40.540
On the back of it says, Humanity and Merit Wins the Day.
00:23:43.500
So that way, as a fan and as a subscriber to the show, you can display the brand proudly
00:23:48.580
and brag about how many times you listen to the Krusty Canuck podcast, ladies and gentlemen.
00:23:53.000
But like I say, you know, uncertainty is what lies ahead.
00:23:57.420
And I think I validated that point enough to everybody here today so far.
00:24:02.160
Anyway, carrying on again with more of my rantings and ramblings.
00:24:16.460
And we're all struggling one way or the other, ladies and gentlemen.
00:24:19.800
This pandemic and the leadership calling the shots has proven it.
00:24:24.440
And a lot of these individuals have reared their ugliness in regards to helping people
00:24:32.220
Like I've said, up to people like you, me, your neighbors, your friends, your family,
00:24:36.640
your loved ones, lovers, whomever, the common folk, you know, people that aren't part of the political elite
00:24:43.320
or part of the Laurentian elite or part of any kind of elite.
00:24:48.020
It's going to take blue-collar people like you and me to get the job done.
00:24:54.400
And the example we should put forward, especially the individuals that look up to us,
00:25:00.540
like my nieces, my nephews, my younger sister, some of my friends from high school that I still talk with today
00:25:12.100
We have to get out there and promote the better example to the best of our abilities.
00:25:16.380
So the more we promote the better example, the more, well, the more certain we're going to be.
00:25:25.100
You know, we've got to stop treating politicians like they're gods.
00:25:28.720
They're just people too who happen to be lucky in some circumstances.
00:25:33.280
And you look at the leadership of this country on a federal level, look at how many of those individuals
00:25:38.540
have never, ever really struggled for anything in their lives,
00:25:42.820
who have never, ever really had to want for anything in their lives
00:25:45.560
because they came from a great background, because their parents made some better decisions,
00:25:50.120
or their grandparents made some better decisions to set up little nest eggs and little funds
00:25:56.740
You know, little slaps and tickles left and right as we speak.
00:25:59.860
And yet people like you and me, my listeners, and not just my listeners in Canada,
00:26:04.360
but my American friends, my British friends, my German, French, my Turkish friends,
00:26:08.700
some of my Indian friends, some of the listeners that have come from across the ocean
00:26:13.380
who have waited and said some wonderful things about my show.
00:26:18.000
They don't have the humbling that you and I do.
00:26:26.720
That's why they want to promote these laws about anti-hate speech
00:26:34.560
You're going to be an adult and learn how to suck it up properly.
00:26:43.760
Now, I admit, the human psyche cannot take a lot of garbage.
00:26:48.440
But I think you and I as adults, ladies and gentlemen,
00:26:50.760
we can understand which is garbage, which is good information,
00:26:55.060
And we as individuals, we can decide that for ourselves
00:26:58.740
when it comes to what we want to watch in television,
00:27:06.800
And we don't need Big Brother to watch it for us.
00:27:08.960
So, I'm telling you, Mr. Stephen Gobert and Prime Minister Trudeau,
00:27:13.720
whenever you find the time, sir, to come to work
00:27:15.860
and do the real hard work as it takes to lead this country,
00:27:20.500
I don't care if you're gallivanting in the States
00:27:22.000
or not talking about open borders and policies.
00:27:27.280
Take the reins as you should, as you're paid to do.
00:27:31.640
And that goes for the conservative counterparts,
00:27:35.600
When you decide to get rid of your fucking soap operas,
00:27:49.600
But we're entitled to the options and the opportunities.
00:28:18.960
Time that we, you, me, and other listeners out there,
00:28:34.880
we can do the right thing to the best of our abilities.
00:28:40.940
this has been another episode of the Cresting Hick Podcast.
00:28:46.460
but I just need to get an episode out there too.
