00:00:00.520 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's the beautiful 1st of August 2022.

00:00:04.260 Come to the Christy Yak podcast. We have a very, very special episode.

00:00:08.340 Yes, bonuses and bureaucratic blunders. That's right.

00:00:11.840 All these people getting paid out during the height of our pandemic and our

00:00:15.940 borderline recession. I tell you, what a poop show. All that and more come to the 0.50

00:00:20.040 Christy Yak podcast. Please stick around.

00:01:31.160 My apologies out there to my fans and my avid listeners who are looking forward to an episode this Saturday.

00:01:38.480 Had some bad news.

00:01:40.180 We had to put down one of our pets.

00:01:43.280 It was kind of tough.

00:01:44.360 I had to drive her to the vet and give the old thumbs up on the injection and say goodbye to my sweet little girl, Tansy. 0.98

00:01:52.920 So my wife and I, you know, it was a tough day.

00:01:56.260 Saturday was a tough day for us.

00:01:58.240 I miss that little dog because she was just quite that special little animal.

00:02:03.420 So for those of you out there who have pets and they're suffering and they have a disease or they're sick or the humane thing to do is to give them a way out.

00:02:15.240 So on that note, my apologies for not showing up Saturday, ladies and gentlemen, but had a family emergency per se.

00:02:22.040 Anyway, as I was saying, episode 183 of bureaucratic blunders and bonuses.

00:02:25.820 And if you like and hear what you see, please click, like, and subscribe and share this content all around your social media platforms, ladies and gentlemen.

00:02:32.660 And please send me an email, crustybcanuck67.

00:02:34.960 You'll see the little red thing at the bottom there.

00:02:37.200 Try me out there, too.

00:02:38.620 So in the news past couple of weeks, we have come across some interesting tidbits of information from independent media and as well as mainstream media, too.

00:02:49.420 So I'll be sharing some facts and figures there shortly.

00:02:53.000 But the past couple of weeks has been tough on everybody.

00:02:55.080 We're seeing a lot of Dutch farmers still holding the line.

00:03:00.220 And our beloved, excuse me, puppet boy of the prime minister, Mr. Sockboy, Mr. Puppet, Mr. WDF aficionado, Justin Trudeau, is contemplating and taking another 30% of nitrogen out of Canadian farms, just like Mr. Ruta out of Holland is doing the same thing to his farmers.

00:03:17.500 All in the name of the environment there, ladies and gentlemen.

00:03:20.180 Now, I work in the agriculture industry.

00:03:22.960 I, for one, know for a fact that regardless of what I do when it's feeding cattle or looking after cattle, you need nitrogen to grow things, right?

00:03:33.580 Ranchers count on it.

00:03:35.120 Dairy farmers count on it.

00:03:37.540 Rodeo aficionados count on it.

00:03:39.340 Even pig farmers count on it.

00:03:40.700 You have to have nitrogen in the mix.

00:03:44.840 And you're not going to solve the world's problem by cutting farming down by 30%.

00:03:49.880 Now, regardless of how you personally feel about the Great Reset or conspiracy theories as we see them, okay?

00:03:59.300 You have to realize, too, that farming is an asset, regardless if you like the lifestyle or not, regardless if you enjoy the lifestyle or not.

00:04:08.440 I, myself, I have a lot of respect for farmers.

00:04:12.060 Part of my youth, I worked in a dairy farm.

00:04:14.580 We grew up in a dairy farm.

00:04:15.680 So I understand what it takes to get the work done, to make sure that there's food in the table, that the lights are on.

00:04:21.300 It's a basic work ethic that we're all should have been taught at a young age. 0.98

00:04:26.220 However, we're seeing more and more people in our generation, Generation X, and the generation just a bit lower who do not embrace that because there's so much of this socialist bullshit going around that makes me want to puke. 0.98

00:04:40.120 How else do I say it? 0.98

00:04:42.240 But it's getting scary, ladies and gentlemen.

00:04:45.820 When you see these individuals, they go on national television, and they will just be so ignorant towards the farming industry, too, okay?

00:04:54.280 There are people out there that actually believe you can just go to the grocery store and get all the meat and eggs you want, and they tend to fail to realize that those eggs come from a chicken farm, and the milk comes from a dairy farm.

00:05:06.940 And when they have their kebabs, when they drive their beamers to a great big barbecue, that the meat comes from something called a cow or a steer, whatever your breed is, okay?

00:05:20.760 And there's beef cattle for that purpose. 0.98

00:05:23.640 And every aspect of chicken farming, dairy farming, pig farming, beef farming has to be done by individuals that have invested time and effort and money and labor, tons of fucking labor. 0.90

00:05:36.940 To make sure that meat gets to your table in a timely manner, okay?

00:05:42.160 Now, with all this environmental hoopla and stuff in regards to we have to cut the nitrogen down, have to cut this down, how about we punish the polluters?

00:05:50.840 Oh, there's a novel idea. 0.97

00:05:52.800 Punish people that actually do something stupid, that actually, you know, put bad things in rivers, eh? 0.99

00:05:59.000 There's an idea. 0.99

00:06:00.120 How about we punish those individuals that put super high toxins into the sky, right?

00:06:06.940 I could say China and India are guilty of that, too. 1.00

00:06:11.560 But, you know, if we say that in front of our beloved prime minister, he'll sit there and have you censored and say, oh, no, he loves that beloved dictatorship.

00:06:20.460 He admires that dictatorship.

00:06:22.580 Yeah.

00:06:23.320 However, try me a river there, Justin.

00:06:25.680 I guess in local news, too.

00:06:28.860 I guess there was a shooting in Ajax, Ontario there a couple nights ago.

00:06:32.140 It was last night.

00:06:33.360 Six people were shot in a drive-by, one person in critical condition.

00:06:37.640 Now, I don't know about you, but to my fellow gun owners out there and veterans and sports shooters and stuff,

00:06:44.200 has there not been a lockdown and a cease on certain purchases, and yet there's still gun crime going on?

00:06:54.060 There's still issues going on with gang lands and thuggery alike?

00:07:01.440 Something to ponder, eh?

00:07:02.680 So I guess there are lockdowns on guns and sales and banning this and banning that really isn't working now, is it?

00:07:11.420 And yet the experts were told this years ago, too, even prior to the Nova Scotia fiasco.

00:07:17.380 And there's more and more information on Brenda Luckey telling the powers that be what was going on when they really had no idea what the hell was going on.

00:07:25.740 So that's another story, too.

00:07:27.740 I might do it for another episode later, ladies and gentlemen.

00:07:29.360 But anyway, carrying on with episode 183.

00:07:32.820 That's right.

00:07:33.880 We've got the whole issue here with bonuses and bureaucratic blunders.

00:07:39.740 That's right.

00:07:40.360 Yes, you can see a picture of Dr. Dina Henshaw, Alberta's health minister and CBC and a few other people at the Bank of Canada giving themselves little perks and bonuses over the past two years.

00:07:53.600 Now, I'll read a story here.

00:07:56.640 Shortly from the Calgary Herald, and they reported how Ms. Henshaw received roughly $227,000 extra a year based on her efforts in regards to the pandemic, even though she was more or less an administrator telling people what to do and encouraging the powers that be to, you know, give guys a hard time. 0.57

00:08:23.820 You know, people like Artie Poloski and the owner of the Whistle Stop Cafe.

00:08:29.480 But, you know, we'll get back to that shortly.

00:08:32.280 But I'll explain the buffooneries to you there shortly.

00:08:46.960 Yeah, so here's an article from the Calgary Herald in regards to Ms. Henshaw's compensation.

00:08:57.180 Yes, compensation.

00:08:58.420 I always read along with you there, too.

00:08:59.920 Let's see here.

00:09:02.140 Alberta's top doctor brought home nearly $600,000 between her salary and cash benefits in 2021.

00:09:09.420 Hmm, interesting.

00:09:11.180 Oh, did she commit, you know, open heart surgery? 1.00

00:09:13.960 Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Dina Henshaw, made roughly $363,633.92 in salary and $227,911.35 in cash benefits, in quotes.

00:09:29.820 Last year, according to the Alberta government's Sunshine List updated last month, which discloses severance and salary for civil servants earning above a certain threshold.

00:09:39.720 That ranks as the highest cash bonus as well as the highest total payout to a government of Alberta employees since the province started disclosing this information back in 2016.

00:09:50.280 The compensation encompassed a year in which Henshaw was the public face of Alberta's COVID-19 response, including its vaccine rollout and implementation of public health measures.

00:10:00.600 In a statement to Postmedia, Alberta Health said 107 government employees received special services compensation in 2021 for extra work during the pandemic response.

00:10:13.620 Okay, extra work, eh?

00:10:15.740 So they're doing extra work to make everyone safe, and yet there's businesses being closed and people being fined.

00:10:20.280 Well, to my friends out here in Alberta, you know exactly what I'm talking about, and other provinces and states alike, too, to my American viewers.

00:10:26.840 They said those payments were made in accordance with criteria set by the Public Service Commission, with similar compensation paid out during previous emergencies like the 2013 Alberta floods and the 2016 Fort McMurray fire.

00:10:40.800 Okay, well, the floods lasted a few days, and the fire lasted a few days.

00:10:45.460 That still doesn't justify those bonuses, as far as I'm concerned.

00:10:49.260 A toll to include special service compensations, the chief medical officer of health determined using a formula that manages and based on additional hours worked, said Steve Buick, press secretary for the health minister, Jason Copping.

00:11:00.760 Given the scale of response to the COVID-19 pandemic, an extraordinary amount of additional work was required from Alberta's top health doctor.

00:11:08.280 The extra pay to Henshaw encompasses how hours worked beyond 45 hours during a week. 0.84

00:11:12.020 Pay disclosures in previous years show Henshaw took home a base salary of $300,633, yeah, well, fuck, whatever, in 2020, and an additional $332,000 in 2019.

00:11:24.120 She did not receive additional cash benefits in either year. 0.60

00:11:26.680 Okay, so without sounding...

00:11:32.720 Now, okay, she's compensated because she earned... 1.00

00:11:36.060 She worked an extra 40... 0.99

00:11:37.680 You know, she worked more than 45 hours a week. 1.00

00:11:39.300 All right, and you just heard it here, you know, right from the horse's mouth, okay?

00:11:45.600 Now, all these cutbacks, okay, other perks and other benefits, okay?

00:11:51.500 She basically went in front of the media, gave sit reps on what was going on, situation report, situation report, situation report. 0.95

00:11:58.080 Now, did she commit any of these surgeries?

00:12:01.080 Did she commit her time and effort to any of these hospitals that were apparently overrun?

00:12:05.900 No, she did not, okay?

00:12:07.840 Did she commit suggestions to open-heart surgery?

00:12:11.900 Did she help people that were...

00:12:14.140 Who might have lost some limbs?

00:12:16.160 Might have lost their eyesight?

00:12:18.100 No.

00:12:19.200 No.

00:12:19.880 So, that much money is self-explanatory.

00:12:22.940 It goes to show the bureaucracy, again, has failed, ladies and gentlemen.

00:12:27.400 And it's not working.

00:12:29.080 It's not working for you.

00:12:30.180 It's not working for me.

00:12:31.020 It's not working for anybody, per se.

00:12:33.000 Anyway, and it's a little disgusting.

00:12:36.300 Now, I'll leave the link in the description for you all to follow at your own leisure and read along with it, too.

00:12:42.020 It's just bureaucracy at its finest.

00:12:44.720 She's also the same person that really didn't make us stink when a lot of people in this province were being arrested, where people were being fined.

00:12:51.140 As I mentioned, Arthur Perlowski, who goes out in Calgary on his own accord, who gets volunteers to feed the homeless.

00:12:57.620 I forget the gentleman's name.

00:13:01.980 It was Stop Cafe, but he was a big supporter of the trucker confoy.

00:13:05.780 He was chastised quite a bit by Alberta Health in regards to keeping his restaurant and gas station and his convenience store open because his livelihood depended on it, and people in that area depended on it, too.

00:13:17.860 But we don't hear that.

00:13:18.960 We have to worry about bonuses that these invaders get to sit there and dictate laws and rules and regulations to you and me. 0.94

00:13:24.220 Okay, and it's the same thing in Ontario and about Provence and the East Coast and the West Coast.

00:13:29.680 Okay, perks and privileges, perks and privileges.

00:13:32.140 Oh, my.

00:13:32.860 I just love the perks of being a know-it-all.

00:13:49.900 Yeah, so more perks and privileges for being in a position, right?

00:13:53.500 Now, I personally know a physician, and she confessed to me she makes about $200,000 plus a year as a medical practitioner, okay? 0.97

00:14:03.720 Nice person.

00:14:04.680 Her and her husband work very hard for the money.

00:14:07.340 She's on her feet.

00:14:09.040 She diagnosed.

00:14:10.680 She helps.

00:14:11.600 She has an incredible bedside manner, and she's not from Canada, right? 0.97

00:14:16.600 And in not so many words, she confessed to me what she makes a year, okay?

00:14:20.260 And she also confirmed, in not so many words, too, that Ms. Hinshaw doesn't really deserve that kind of little perk and privilege, right?

00:14:29.660 It's more or less hush money, ladies and gentlemen.

00:14:31.640 That's what it is.

00:14:32.280 Hush money, right?

00:14:33.920 And speaking of hush money, we also have a little thing here from Spencer Fernando, a great independent Canadian intellect who knows quite a bit about what the world is and what this country is going through.

00:14:48.640 And I'll just queue it up here for you as well, too, ladies and gentlemen, right?

00:14:51.820 He has a story in regards to Bank of Canada, and it's quite interesting how he puts that together in perspective, you know?

00:15:04.700 And I'll queue that up for you.

00:15:06.080 There's two, ladies and gentlemen.

00:15:07.460 Now, it seems with all the money going left and going right and going overseas, how much of that money is coming back to you and me, okay?

00:15:15.540 How much of that is coming back to Canadians?

00:15:18.660 How much of that is coming back to people that have worked throughout the pandemic, even people that lost their jobs and got hired again or found a better job or got another job, right?

00:15:29.120 Okay, yours truly wasn't gainfully employed as much during the pandemic.

00:15:34.340 I went through my savings account to keep the lights on.

00:15:37.360 The pension only covers so much, ladies and gentlemen.

00:15:39.040 But I had a nice little nest egg tuck away, and there's a few other lads that I knew who scrimped and saved to put their money away.

00:15:46.280 And just like that, it was gone because of administration, because of lockdowns, because of masks, because of this and that and that and this and that, blah, blah, blah.

00:15:54.700 The same old jibber jab everywhere you go.

00:15:57.380 But it's not as lucrative as you think, right?

00:16:03.460 A lot of people have struggled.

00:16:05.500 People are still struggling trying to get things done.

00:16:07.240 People are still trying to make sense of everything here.

00:16:12.580 And here's the story from Spencer Fernando, Canadian know-it-all.

00:16:18.900 Great writer, by the way.

00:16:20.160 And I'll just read along with the article here, too.

00:16:22.220 You know, amid repeated failures, the Bank of Canada gave themselves big pay raises and bonuses.

00:16:27.420 And this comes from 21st of July.

00:16:29.240 So this isn't really new news, but it's still relevant.

00:16:32.240 You know, documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation demonstrate how the Bank of Canada used your money to reward themselves.

00:16:39.340 Well, gee, sounds like a Liberal Party, eh?

00:16:40.820 Getting themselves a raise every year?

00:16:42.100 Hmm.

00:16:43.040 While they're ignoring warnings from common sense people like us, and while they're repeatedly getting it wrong on inflation, it turns out the Bank of Canada was rewarding themselves for their failures.

00:16:51.800 Documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation revealed the extent to which the Bank of Canada used your money to better their own financial situation, even as the financial situation of Canadians worsened, in large part due to the Bank of Canada's failures.

00:17:05.420 And air quotes here, the Bank of Canada gave its employees $45 million in pay raises and bonuses during the pandemic, even though it failed to hit its inflation target, according to records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

00:17:16.300 Why is the Bank of Canada putting itself in the back and handling out millions in bonuses and pay raises while Canadians are struggling to pay for groceries and gas, asked Franco Tedrizano, Federal Director of the CTF.

00:17:28.480 If its objective is to keep inflation low, that doesn't make sense for Canada's central bank to hand out bonuses and pay raises while the cost of living soars.

00:17:36.120 In 2020, the Bank of Canada gave pay raises to 1,728 employees, costing $5.3 million.

00:17:42.200 In 2021, it gave pay raises to 1,857 employees, costing $5.2 million.

00:17:49.840 It did not cut the pay of any employees in 2020 or 2021.

00:17:54.200 Amazingly, the Bank of Canada also seemed to be reveling in their ability to war themselves despite failing, giving out bonuses for quote-unquote meeting or exceeding expectations.

00:18:03.300 In addition to pay raises, the Bank of Canada gave bonuses to 1,632 employees in 2020, costing $16.2 million.

00:18:11.460 In 2021, it gave bonuses to 1,752 employees, costing $18.4 million.

00:18:17.520 Bank of Canada told the CTF that it hands out bonuses for successfully meeting or exceeding expectations.

00:18:22.620 Okay, so we understand that, you know, you go above me on your job, you should get a pay raise, right?

00:18:30.820 When I started at my job, I was getting $19.

00:18:33.300 I show up on time, do a bit of extra work, now I'm making $21.

00:18:36.300 That's great. 0.99

00:18:38.380 But about $600 on my check goes to taxes every goddamn pay. 1.00

00:18:42.580 These clowns! 1.00

00:18:44.040 Hmm. 0.99

00:18:45.520 Yeah.

00:18:45.740 And he also poses a question too, do they meet or exceed their goal of keeping inflation in check?

00:18:51.600 Now, that was the expectation.

00:18:53.960 Did they do the right thing by enabling Trudeau's endless deficits?

00:18:57.160 Nope, of course not.

00:18:58.360 They do a good job predicting inflation?

00:19:01.100 Nope, just the opposite.

00:19:02.080 In fact, they warned of the risk of deflation, even as others were saying inflation was a threat.

00:19:06.820 Big government rewards failure while punishing success.

00:19:10.580 So, what I will do is I'll leave this article here for you, my beautiful audience out there, to read.

00:19:15.220 On your own leisure?

00:19:17.800 You know?

00:19:18.560 And just, it goes up there with the whole mandate where everyone gets a trophy, everyone gets a good pat on the back, well done.

00:19:30.260 Meanwhile, people that live in reality get it up the chuff.

00:20:21.680 Anyway, carrying on again with episode 183, bonuses and bureaucratic blunders.

00:20:25.700 So I think I've read a couple of blunders to you.

00:20:27.860 The Bank of Canada has lied.

00:20:29.960 Okay.

00:20:30.200 A lot of these medical administrators, I can't speak English today.

00:20:35.160 A lot of these medical administrators, bureaucrats alike, have lied.

00:20:40.080 Walk home with great paychecks.

00:20:42.160 Okay.

00:20:42.900 But here's another one that comes from True North News too.

00:20:45.480 I've mentioned them before.

00:20:46.320 They do have some great work and a special thank you out there once again to Calgary Herald and Spencer Fernando for writing such great articles in regards to exposing the buffoonery of the bureaucracy.

00:20:59.440 But this comes from True North here, ladies and gentlemen, in regards to CBC getting a few extra bonuses as well.

00:21:06.700 So I'll just queue this up here too for your leisures.

00:21:10.960 Check it out for yourselves.

00:21:12.180 And like I say, I'll leave links in the description for all yous to look at at your own time.

00:21:18.400 But the CBC has done some wonderful things in the past.

00:21:22.520 Well, we'll say since 2015, since Justin Trudeau started, you know, lying their pockets with paying taxpayer funds.

00:21:29.020 But, you know, I digress here.

00:21:31.740 I'll just read along here.

00:21:33.920 Thanks again to True North Media out there too.

00:21:36.700 CBC employees earned $30 million in COVID bonuses during the pandemic.

00:21:42.180 And it's by Andrew Kozak here.

00:21:45.280 This is dated 25th of July.

00:21:47.480 So it's still relevant, ladies and gentlemen.

00:21:49.520 CBC paid $30 million in COVID bonuses to over 1,000 employees, amounting to roughly $15,000 each in 2020 and 2021.

00:21:58.740 Even though the state broadcaster reported draining ad revenue and lack of funding from the government at the time.

00:22:04.840 Figures showed a total of $15,013.

00:22:08.660 Holy cow. 0.89

00:22:09.900 Wow.

00:22:10.960 $15,000,000.

00:22:12.000 Sorry.

00:22:12.580 $13,838.

00:22:14.400 Paid at 1,300 employees in 2020, resulting in $14,120 each.

00:22:23.380 Wow.

00:22:24.860 God, I just want to puke.

00:22:28.780 This is also retained by Blacklock's reporter too, one of Canada's legitimate news sources too.

00:22:34.100 A lot of identified executives, of course, got paid this.

00:22:37.260 During this time, the CBC was forced to lay off 11 staff at its Radio Canada International Division and required a $21 million government bailout during the pandemic.

00:22:46.260 In addition to its $1.5 billion annual federal grant, brought to you by the Canadian taxpayer.

00:22:53.720 Okay.

00:22:54.160 So here is more. 0.93

00:22:57.000 More and more and more of these ungrateful snots who have made tons of money. 1.00

00:23:03.520 While people like you and me had to go and struggle and work, beg for jobs, borrow, dip into our savings.

00:23:09.540 Okay.

00:23:12.580 And it works out that individuals are going to ask you $15,000 a year.

00:23:15.880 In some cases, $15,000 a month.

00:23:18.680 And for what?

00:23:20.560 For subpar performances?

00:23:22.380 For lack of caring, lack of consideration?

00:23:26.360 Look how they monitored and look how they covered the trucker's convoy back in January and February.

00:23:32.920 Okay, look how the major mainstream outlets, especially the CBC, when they come up with stories and BS in regards, oh, it must be some kind of Russian influence. 0.93

00:23:43.420 Or it must be American Republicans who have said and funded this for GoFundMe and all this crap. 0.93

00:23:49.700 Well, no. 0.96

00:23:51.180 And that was proven wrong.

00:23:53.560 And that was proven wrong numerous times.

00:23:55.160 And they're still having committees and hearings in regards to why they instilled the Mergers and Measures Act.

00:23:59.800 So, basically, the CBC is nothing but propagandists for the liberal government.

00:24:05.260 Because they got paid noodles and noodles of cash prior to the liberal election.

00:24:09.800 And before and during and after every election thereof.

00:24:14.580 Extra payouts here.

00:24:16.380 Okay.

00:24:17.280 I didn't see anybody in the CBC in Ground Zero talking to individuals at the convoy.

00:24:22.320 I didn't see anybody at the CBC talking to people that were setting fire and destroying the railheads and railway tracks across the country back in 2020.

00:24:31.640 Did the CBC go out of the way to find out who was setting fire to churches last summer in retaliation to the so-called graves that were found?

00:24:42.080 Right. 0.96

00:24:42.420 And yet all these clowns, a thousand, you heard me. 0.92

00:24:45.040 And I'll leave the links in the description for you all to listen to, ladies and gentlemen. 0.96

00:24:49.060 Who were, they just didn't even bother.

00:24:54.000 They didn't bother talking.

00:24:55.380 Because that's not the narrative they want.

00:24:57.960 Right.

00:24:58.820 A thousand plus people in Canada's major news network getting all this change.

00:25:04.020 For what? 0.52

00:25:05.660 Just to put up and shut up, basically. 0.97

00:25:08.220 Right.

00:25:08.400 And you can actually see the past two years have been so detrimental when it comes to people's integrity.

00:25:15.920 Who is standing up and fighting the good fight?

00:25:19.220 Tamera Litch did.

00:25:21.560 In regards to how I feel about Pat King and how much I really disagree with his nonsense, he took a stand.

00:25:28.820 Right.

00:25:29.560 James Topp took a stand.

00:25:30.760 He marched across the country.

00:25:31.960 Where's the mainstream media on those individuals and the good they have caused and the influence they have spread around, not just the country, but around the bloody globe.

00:25:42.260 Right.

00:25:42.600 Where's the where's where's the positive outcome on that?

00:25:46.320 Right.

00:25:47.320 See, what I don't understand is that a lot of these mainstream guys are promoting more of the fear.

00:25:52.300 Now we've got this monkey pox thing to worry about. 1.00

00:25:54.360 Right. 0.99

00:25:55.320 We've got this issue with with certain homosexual men spreading monkey pox around. 1.00

00:26:01.100 Are we going to go back to the 80s again and call the AIDS pandemic the gay disease? 0.99

00:26:07.960 We're going to call monkey pox the gay disease. 1.00

00:26:10.280 We're going to go back to those old days and create more division and create more prejudice and more hatred because people have a different lifestyle. 0.96

00:26:21.080 Well, we're doing it now.

00:26:22.580 People want the freedom lifestyle.

00:26:24.040 People want the freedom to go out and work, to earn their money, to keep their money, to save for a rainy day or other rainy days or save for college for their kids or save for piano lessons or sports or just save in general.

00:26:39.040 Well, so when they do retire, they can retire with dignity, respect and get themselves a pat on the back and say, yep, I fucking did that for 40 years. 0.53

00:26:46.320 Job well done. 0.98

00:26:47.040 But no, we constantly have to have this directive and this constant fear monitoring, the whole build back better bullshit, bureaucratic bonus bullshit is based on what it is. 0.98

00:26:57.660 Okay. 0.95

00:26:58.420 They're still enforcing people and trying to get people to think about eating the bugs.

00:27:02.140 Yeah, Lord.

00:27:03.580 You have elected bugs.

00:27:04.460 You want nothing and be happy. 1.00

00:27:07.160 Fuck you, Klaus. 1.00

00:27:08.140 To every supporter out there that constantly downloads all this socialist bullshit, and I'm seeing it on my feeds all the time too, ladies and gentlemen. 1.00

00:27:16.740 I am constantly seeing these ridiculous socialist feeds. 0.99

00:27:20.660 Now, I studied socialism in school. 0.97

00:27:22.200 When I was 16, I thought, yeah, yeah, the proletariat sounds like a great deal. 0.97

00:27:27.820 Tiananmen Square happened. 0.75

00:27:31.180 Then the Berlin Wall fell. 0.98

00:27:32.420 So a lot of people woke up to that fucking mantra pretty quick and realized, yeah, freedom's not so bad. 0.99

00:27:38.140 Yeah, freedom's pretty cool. 0.99

00:27:40.220 And it's something worth fighting for, something worth dying for.

00:27:43.180 I know because I was with a unit that helped people fight for freedom.

00:27:48.360 Now, I'm not talking freedom like, you know, waving the flag and saying, yep, Canadian freedom or American freedom.

00:27:54.280 Freedom for people to do and go about their effing business the way they see fit.

00:27:58.580 Basic freedom.

00:28:00.400 Okay.

00:28:02.180 But every time you turn on television, let's worry about what the Pope had to say.

00:28:06.000 Let's worry about what this doctor has to say.

00:28:08.320 Let's worry about the monkeypox.

00:28:09.660 Let's worry more about the COVID.

00:28:11.140 Let's worry about more mandates. 0.98

00:28:12.500 Let's worry about their freaking Arrive Can app.

00:28:15.640 That's holding people hostage when they come back to Canada. 0.60

00:28:20.400 Okay.

00:28:21.540 A year ago, they said they're not going to mandate this.

00:28:23.900 They're not going to mandate that.

00:28:24.740 And what do they do?

00:28:25.280 They mandate it.

00:28:26.220 And then they put the Arrive Can app out there telling people, look, again, we're watching you.

00:28:30.180 That's what it is.

00:28:31.100 Tim Hortons, for God's sakes, got into trouble recently.

00:28:33.940 They got their pee-pee slapped big time for invading people's privacies. 0.97

00:28:37.580 And what do they do to accommodate those they've offended?

00:28:42.400 How about a coffee and a donut?

00:28:43.820 Hey, big spenders, hey? 1.00

00:28:45.980 You cheap bastards. 1.00

00:28:47.100 So I think you all see where I'm going with this, ladies and gentlemen. 1.00

00:28:54.400 We're missing the common courtesy. 0.99

00:28:57.480 We are missing the ability to really get up and question these assholes. 0.99

00:29:02.100 I believe in finding a peaceful resolution to all this garbage. 1.00

00:29:08.560 Right?

00:29:09.320 But we're getting to a point where we're constantly being pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed and fined and pushed and jailed and fined and pushed.

00:29:20.900 And not even a promise of a kiss.

00:29:22.780 Just keep pushing us.

00:29:25.140 Right?

00:29:25.980 What say you?

00:29:26.620 You can reach me at crustybcanuck67 at gmail.com.

00:29:29.440 All the pertinent information will be in my description, ladies and gentlemen.

00:29:32.620 Every time I post these videos, you'll find all the descriptions where you can reach out to me, contact me, say hello, whatever.

00:29:37.640 You can send me some swagger.

00:29:38.780 I'll give you my mailing address, too.

00:29:40.340 Send me some free stuff.

00:29:41.880 If you get a chance, please check out my shop at Customized Girl, too.

00:29:44.240 Link will be in the description as well.

00:29:45.720 I've got t-shirts.

00:29:46.500 I've got hats.

00:29:46.920 I've got mugs.

00:29:47.340 I've got swimsuits.

00:29:47.900 I've got shorts.

00:29:48.840 I've got bikini tops.

00:29:49.860 And I'll have to do with the ladies. 0.99

00:29:51.200 So bring out your inner Baywatch.

00:29:52.360 It is summertime still.

00:29:53.900 So please get out there and enjoy the sun with some crusty Canucks swagger today.

00:29:58.900 Anyway, carrying on again with more of the bureaucratic.

00:30:02.300 BS, episode 183.

00:30:04.320 Bonuses and bureaucratic blunders.

00:30:05.920 Yes, CBC just gave themselves a nice bonus.

00:30:08.680 Dina Henshaw got a nice bonus. 0.99

00:30:10.020 Bank of Canada's got bonuses, bonuses, bonuses, bonuses everywhere.

00:30:13.320 Goes with the old saying, boards, boards, boards.

00:30:15.180 So how many board members are getting bonuses, too?

00:30:17.360 Say that three times really fast.

00:30:19.480 I dare you.

00:30:20.200 I don't know, ladies and gentlemen.

00:30:24.800 It's been an interesting couple of weeks in Canadian fairs and in world affairs, too.

00:30:29.880 My heart goes out to the Dutch farmers and Canadian farmers and American farmers and every farmer in working democracies as we see today.

00:30:37.760 Because they put food on our tables, ladies and gentlemen.

00:30:41.420 And they work like hell to make sure that the meat is up to standard.

00:30:44.660 They work like hell to make sure that the dairy is up to standard.

00:30:47.460 And pork and poultry.

00:30:48.840 So when you go up for your little chicken fingers, think where they come from.

00:30:52.800 When you have your French fries and gravy, think where it comes from.

00:30:58.000 You have that glass of milk.

00:31:01.400 Where do you think it comes from?

00:31:04.020 You get little Billy a cheeseburger after a good soccer game.

00:31:08.220 Where do you think that meat comes from?

00:31:10.820 Put in a few slices of tomato, lettuce, pickles.

00:31:15.740 Someone had to grow that food.

00:31:18.280 Think about that.

00:31:21.020 How do you think it got to the grocery store?

00:31:24.240 By the magical grocery fairy?

00:31:26.840 Yes, of course.

00:31:28.080 Those are the same people that think money grows in trees and I deserve a trophy.

00:31:31.820 No.

00:31:32.980 People like that deserve a good kick of reality.

00:31:36.080 Right?

00:31:38.400 Because I guarantee about 95% of those individuals that do not think about...

00:31:44.920 The outside will have no skills on how to acquire said food items if something terrible was to happen.

00:31:53.460 That's just me though.

00:31:55.700 Right?

00:31:56.680 Like I said, ladies and gentlemen, if you like and hear what you see, please click like, subscribe, and share this content all around your social media platforms.

00:32:01.580 And I try to get episodes at least twice when I'm on my off cycle there.

00:32:07.240 Because I usually do 10 days on and I got four days off.

00:32:11.120 The past couple of days, like I said, it was rough.

00:32:12.600 We lost one of our pets.

00:32:13.560 Had to put her down. 1.00

00:32:14.840 Poor girl. 1.00

00:32:15.420 Tansy, I miss you.

00:32:17.080 But we're overcoming as always.

00:32:19.580 And I try to get these videos up and running for you, my wonderful audience out there, as much as I can too.

00:32:27.900 And I'm in the works of trying to get this podcast on a network too.

00:32:32.700 So the more you share my content, ladies and gentlemen, the easier it's going to be for me.

00:32:36.860 So please click like, subscribe, and share this all around your social media platforms.

00:32:39.840 And I'll be right back after this.

00:32:57.220 I don't know, call me old-fashioned, but where I come from, you work hard, you get ahead.

00:33:01.740 Now, I've worked for people in my life and in my career as an ex-soldier.

00:33:06.220 I've worked for some people that expect you to give and give and give.

00:33:09.940 And it takes them forever to find the courage to give you 25% based on your 100.

00:33:15.060 People like that, it doesn't matter what trade or profession you're in.

00:33:18.500 And people like that, I don't respect.

00:33:21.220 But I've worked for people where you give them 100% and they give you 100%.

00:33:25.480 Meaning they'll help you along.

00:33:27.020 They'll help you advance.

00:33:27.920 They'll help you get ahead.

00:33:29.340 If you need a day off, not a problem.

00:33:32.280 You need some admin time to sort some papers out or something, not a problem.

00:33:35.780 It's done for you.

00:33:36.520 But what I'm seeing now is that no matter how hard you work for something, there's either somebody saying you can't or somebody saying you won't. 0.99

00:33:48.020 And the powers that be just don't give a shit. 0.99

00:33:51.040 Well, then it's up to us to give a shit. 1.00

00:33:52.600 It's up to us to say we can and we will. 1.00

00:33:54.780 That simple.

00:33:55.520 Peacefully.

00:33:55.880 Because the last thing I want to see, ladies and gentlemen, is violence.

00:33:59.740 Honestly.

00:34:00.280 The last thing I want to see would be like, say, an Arab Spring. 1.00

00:34:07.540 Or somebody goes to a protest and someone's trigger happy and then what have you got?

00:34:15.180 You got chaos.

00:34:16.360 You got carnage.

00:34:16.920 A lot of good people have passed on the past couple of years.

00:34:22.960 A lot of good people have passed on the past five years.

00:34:25.720 A lot of people dear to me have left the building. 0.98

00:34:29.220 And it sucks.

00:34:32.000 In a way, I'm happy they're in a better place. 0.97

00:34:33.940 In a way, I miss them dearly.

00:34:37.020 I'll say that for another episode.

00:34:38.920 I want this democracy to work.

00:34:47.280 It's what I fought for.

00:34:48.960 It's what my friends fought for.

00:34:50.520 It's what my grandparents fought for.

00:34:52.160 It's what your parents or your friends fought for.

00:34:55.280 And it doesn't matter if it's in Canada, the United States, to my new friends in Britain, to my new friends in Germany.

00:35:02.580 It doesn't matter.

00:35:03.900 Anywhere around the world. 0.99

00:35:04.740 And it would really, really suck just to see something just go to shit because people didn't try. 0.99

00:35:11.460 People didn't care. 0.99

00:35:13.320 You know?

00:35:13.700 If it was up to me, I'd leave my job and I'd go to Ottawa and I'd do the protest.

00:35:17.280 But I've got bills to pay.

00:35:19.620 You know?

00:35:20.120 That's the thing.

00:35:21.240 And we've all heard the adage, I'm just doing my job.

00:35:25.500 Just doing my job.

00:35:27.080 Yeah.

00:35:28.100 A lot of people are doing the job.

00:35:29.080 But there's a lot of people who are missing the moral compass and where it's pointing to.

00:35:35.280 And they're not looking at their actions and their lackluster performances.

00:35:40.180 You know, they want to put up and shut up and then that's all there is to it.

00:35:42.880 Because after six years of service in Parliament, you get yourself a nice kosher pension and then it's all of a sudden done. 0.72

00:35:49.840 Right?

00:35:51.140 But I think we can do better.

00:35:52.680 And I think there's hope up there.

00:35:53.800 We can do better, ladies and gentlemen.

00:35:56.180 Lots of hope.

00:35:56.780 Anyhow, I will be making another episode again for you all tomorrow for Tuesday for the 2nd of August.

00:36:03.140 Stay tuned to that.

00:36:04.040 And I'll be posting this on, as I said, Podbean, Rumble, Bright Teen, Amazon, and Player FM.

00:36:09.120 As well as the Tube and on Facebook alike.

00:36:11.980 If you're liking what you see, please click like and subscribe.

00:36:14.400 And share this content all around your social media platforms.

00:36:17.680 Especially Instagram.

00:36:18.680 I'm starting to post more on Instagram there too.

00:36:21.400 So, if you find my video on Instagram, click like.

00:36:23.240 You can send me a comment and share it all around if you can too.

00:36:26.840 It takes people like you, wonderful people like you out there, to make podcasts like mine shine.

00:36:33.360 Right?

00:36:33.860 I'm not going to dump all my baggage on your shoulders, ladies and gentlemen.

00:36:36.680 But please consider sharing this all around.

00:36:39.160 And we can do what we can to make our days even that much brighter.

00:36:43.980 So, like I always say, ladies and gentlemen, do what you can to help each other in these trying times.

00:36:48.040 And I want to say thank you to my newer subscribers out there.

00:36:50.980 I'm up to 9,700 plus, I believe.

00:36:54.380 Last I checked on YouTube.

00:36:55.740 And a few more coming on Podbean too.

00:36:57.400 So, thank you very much.

00:36:58.740 Give yourselves a good round of applause for that.

00:37:00.880 Well done.

00:37:02.560 Well done.

00:37:03.380 Well done on you.

00:37:04.760 And I want to thank you all again for giving me such good positive reinforcement in regards to some of the emails and comments I've been receiving.

00:37:12.440 Especially my Facebook page.

00:37:14.180 So, keep on rocking.

00:37:15.040 All that good stuff.

00:37:16.320 Like I say, ladies and gentlemen, do what you can to help each other in these trying times.

00:37:18.540 Do a little bit extra for your neighbors, an extra for your loved ones, your kids, your wife, your husband, boyfriend, however you identify.

00:37:26.140 And like I always say, humanity and merit wins the day.

00:37:30.880 Take care and I'll see you next time.

00:37:32.500 Bye for now.
