our government all that more come on the show please stick around listener and viewer discretion
00:00:24.020

00:00:38.660
from western canada this is the crusty canuck podcast a canadian veteran's point of view
00:00:51.880
on political social economic issues and life here's crusty
00:00:57.180
that's right ladies and gentlemen welcome to another episode of the crusty connect podcast
00:01:01.580
i'm your host crusty canuck that's right of course the hashtag heard around the world that's right
00:01:07.560
the trudeau must go hashtag phenomenon that was on twitter that has been recently been stirring the
00:01:12.800
pot and causing waves pardon my lights here ladies and gentlemen having some issues with my uh my bulbs
00:01:18.220
for some reason i replaced them there the other day and uh still they keep flickering
00:01:21.920
needless to say whatever you know i'm not making enough money to make this a great studio
00:01:25.980
this is for you my wonderful viewers out here who want to see my ugly mug
00:01:29.540
and uh ponder my words of wisdom as you sit and do your own thing
00:01:37.600
trudeau must go now i weighed in on that too in my twitter account and i've got about maybe 5 000 likes
00:01:42.820
which i'm tickled pink for a few more subscribers which is good but what gets me with this whole
00:01:48.520
thing is you're not seeing enough liberals weigh in on this too now you've heard me rant and rave
00:01:55.320
about trudeau and his party and his gender parity and all his other bs when it comes to his politics
00:02:00.160
okay and every other liberal out there and their politics in regards to how they're going to govern
00:02:04.920
this country into economic freedom as they promote which is all bs as far as i'm concerned
00:02:10.840
because since their election in 2015 let us look at the track record shall we
00:02:16.760
okay before he wasn't even elected okay he would say things like the budget would balance itself
00:02:23.400
okay he would have basic admiration for china's dictatorship because they can turn their economy
00:02:30.280
around on a dime right well that's the thing they have an economy meant for their big wigs and their
00:02:34.740
overcarks and their honchos and their dedicated members of the party while working class people
00:02:40.700
in china make minimum okay they also have social credit scores all that good stuff and how to walk
00:02:48.120
here how to walk there and do what you're told here and be a good little boy and you'll get some extra
00:02:51.840
incentive okay so with all the turmoil that's going in the world today with the ukraine russian thing
00:02:57.440
uh with the jibby jab thing with getting rid of the uh the beer bug restrictions and all that too
00:03:02.420
it looks like i i'm my best guess is this okay the true old liberals are starting to back down just a
00:03:10.100
little bit not enough but just a little bit because they want to get rid of the restrictions they've
00:03:15.160
imposed on every canadian since the beer bug reared its ugly head now rumor has it september september
00:03:23.060
30th they're going to get rid of the arrive can uh bs and the jibby jab bs and all this and other
00:03:29.320
restrictions that have stopped people like you and me and your friends and family alike from traveling
00:03:34.400
abroad okay now i don't have a lot of facts and figures right here now but i've observed the past
00:03:39.960
couple of weeks in regards to some of the buffoonery and ridiculous mantras and ridiculous rules they've
00:03:44.740
placed on people people being fined for not using the arrive can app people being uh stopped at airports
00:03:50.880
and borders we're not proving their vaccinations are proving this proving that right now a year ago
00:03:57.680
the powers that be in this country said oh no no we're not going to mandate this we're not going
00:04:03.800
to mandate that now look what they've mandated okay so thank god for the hashtag trudeau must go
00:04:10.740
that has come to surface and caught so much attention and rough the feathers of the powers that be
00:04:16.340
now the progressive conservative party of canada have recently elected a new leader pierre paulievre now
00:04:24.400
what i can say about him is that he has the smarts when it comes to economics he has the smarts when
00:04:31.060
it comes to diplomacy and he has the smarts when it comes to how things should run in parliament
00:04:36.020
okay but i'll say this out there to my conservative supporters too he's also a career politician ladies
00:04:42.680
and gentlemen okay he's been in politics since his 20s okay when he left university when he left
00:04:50.120
his post-secondary education first thing he got into his politics now i'm not disenfranchising
00:04:57.700
anyone who aspires to get into politics okay yours truly got into politics and i might run again
00:05:03.360
who knows but until that day i've done other things to keep myself busy keep myself focused to keep my bills
00:05:10.540
paid and keep my lights on regardless of how much they flicker or not okay and i i've went out and i've
00:05:18.140
talked to people and i've mingled with people i've socialized with people seniors other veterans
00:05:22.340
you know veterans from other wars i've had the honor of talking a couple vietnam vets recently too
00:05:28.100
that's just because of the screenplay and everything i'm working on at the moment but needless to say
00:05:32.420
you're getting other points of view here now when i look at a career politician i look at somebody who
00:05:36.720
really enjoys what he or she does and a quest for power okay do i think pauliev is going to give
00:05:44.660
trudeau a run for his money you're fucking right i will you're fucking right i do because
00:05:49.040
his majesty's opposition has done nothing but criticize the trudeau liberals and of course
00:05:58.040
sings and he peers okay now what gets me with this dynamic is that we are in we are in a revelation of
00:06:09.140
sorts okay regardless of the hashtag that went on twitter and all i like i said i took part in that
00:06:13.880
too and it's really phenomenal how people come out and said yeah right on good job and the amount of
00:06:18.800
criticism i had too from about 140 people okay but in the same sense it's showing you on a big
00:06:27.080
perspective and how sensitive a lot of people really are okay we're in a financial crisis right now
00:06:34.480
inflation is through the roof housing is ridiculous food costs because gas is ridiculous
00:06:38.360
and our leaders the people that are in charge people who count the goddamn money
00:06:43.460
right they're sitting there saying oh nothing's really wrong it's just a phenomenon it's just what's
00:06:48.800
what's what's happening you see where we're getting sized up here too you see what's in the works
00:06:55.000
with the tensions that are going on with ukraine and russia right now what is in the works
00:07:00.460
are we going to have uh another recession like we did back in 2008 in the late 80s or is world war
00:07:09.860
three coming stay updated and follow crusty canuck on facebook twitter gab telegram youtube and podbean
00:07:22.840
it's something to think about ladies and gentlemen is world war three coming
00:07:34.340
and as a fellow podcaster and fellow veteran a raging dissident said
00:07:44.220
okay because when i look at these bigwigs when i look at all these individuals that made the big
00:07:50.040
decisions in regards to where to spend canadian dollars and the people that increase the taxes
00:07:54.800
and people that increase the cost of living in this country the elected officials and the
00:07:59.680
bureaucrats that have backed them up okay cost more to get gas cost more to keep the lights on
00:08:04.960
cost more to put food in your fridge cost more to take a little ability hockey cost a little
00:08:08.340
a lot more to take a little june doer dance lessons okay it's costing more to go out and socialize
00:08:13.460
and mingle since a lot of the restrictions have been lifted but then you still get it out the
00:08:17.760
chuff when it comes to the cost of living right okay they're putting so much emphasis on this green
00:08:25.200
green mentality okay and they're putting so much emphasis on cutting back on fossil fuels
00:08:31.060
and yet some of these leaders are upset and up in arms because someone mispronounced their
00:08:36.440
fucking gender pronouns or someone mispronounced their name okay is that the kind of leadership we
00:08:41.860
want heading into this dark time people worrying about what they're called what their names a few
00:08:48.320
weeks back i made an episode about miss freeland being harassed by some big gruffy guy
00:08:53.340
right she had a job to do and she's fucking it up and she's called on it it's that simple as i
00:09:01.220
mentioned it was you know kind of you know impolite and rude and unprofessional but the man had a point
00:09:06.340
of view and he displayed it and the mainstream media the legacy media like took it as oh my god it's so
00:09:11.820
misogynistic right it doesn't matter if a man or woman is in charge if that person in charge does
00:09:18.360
not do their job then they're open to public ridicule it's that simple okay now we're on the
00:09:26.280
cusp of something devastating as far as i'm concerned i'm not going to sit here put on my tinfoil hat and
00:09:31.420
talk about oh my god the chaos i'm talking about what can happen what might happen what pots are boiling
00:09:40.060
over as we speak right now okay now as a canadian i am very very fortunate to still live in a country
00:09:46.440
where we have the freedom to speak our minds now if c11 does go through that might be harder than we
00:09:55.580
think okay i come across a couple of posts there on instagram about canadians not having enough
00:10:01.140
backbone okay and uh well when i look at canadian backbone i look at as the can-do attitude to get
00:10:08.500
out there get the work done to help the less fortunate you know to step up and help people during
00:10:14.180
devastating events i.e tornadoes floods and all that stuff so there's a lot of can-do out there
00:10:18.440
and a lot of canadians tried to do something back in february
00:10:21.640
okay there was a peaceful protest that happened in february which inspired the world okay which was
00:10:30.040
another hashtag that was heard around the world freedom convoy okay now i've banged heads and you
00:10:37.280
know i've had a few exchanges with some individuals in regards to what is a freedom convoy or not
00:10:41.200
to what this is to what that is okay it was a peaceful protest what did the people in ottawa do about it
00:10:48.620
other than what the mainstream media displayed as people who were scared and complained
00:10:52.840
there are a lot of people that rejoiced and took a stand with the truckers too honked their horns and
00:10:59.040
went out in the street and danced and drank and played in bouncy castles and hot tubs right while
00:11:05.480
there's still a few people out there according to twitter and to other social media platforms
00:11:09.200
that there were terrorists and there were mean to children when they weren't i talked to a lot of
00:11:15.520
people that were in that convoy and had the honor of talking to some independent media personnel that
00:11:20.820
were at that convoy okay yeah there was swearing going on and there were some loud noises and some
00:11:28.180
big voices but there was no harassment of kids okay so there was a protest right there so when someone
00:11:37.820
outside of canada says canada has no backbone take a look at the footage okay talk to individuals that
00:11:44.580
were our ground zero in ottawa and our capital who were there fighting the good fight talking about
00:11:49.740
and these mandates let's get back to some regularity in our lives okay
00:12:01.460
raging dissident jeremy mckenzie the guy who created diagonal nice guy had a couple of conversations with him
00:12:09.320
and he's a down-to-earth individual and he paid his dues and he saw a lot of his shit and he saw a lot
00:12:14.400
of chaos and a lot of carnage and i relate to him because we were in the same war
00:12:19.180
and he's got a video on facebook there and check him out i'm not going to post on here
00:12:27.780
out of respect for him but he made a very very valid point when it come to people
00:12:34.060
ignoring what the issues are they're going on in this country made a very very valid point
00:12:40.600
okay because the the people that are calling the shots i don't look at as russia as the bad guys i
00:12:47.880
look at putin and a few of his buddies and i look at certain officials in the ukrainian uh parliament
00:12:54.460
and in their in their government i look at them as bad guys too i'm not blaming the russian civilians
00:13:02.220
nor am i blaming the ukrainian civilians but we we've seen this this shit before in building up
00:13:09.300
to a war we've seen this crap before world war one world war two korea vietnam and other conflicts
00:13:17.600
thereafter too the sides are being drawn they're being balanced against each other and all that too
00:13:24.520
and when it comes to democratic rights in this country that were fought for
00:13:29.720
by your grandparents by my grandparents by their parents in the first world war second world war
00:13:35.800
respectively we thought we had some kind of stability we thought we had some kind of
00:13:42.100
ground where we can stand on and exchange ideas as we should but the past seven years since 2015
00:13:49.820
a lot of those ideas have been quashed money has been spent on ridiculous things
00:13:54.220
okay infrastructure is supposed to be up there but it's not money has gone missing in infrastructure
00:13:59.420
inflation through the roof right what used to cost me a buck a leader has now cost me a buck 38 in
00:14:07.460
some cases a buck 45 to my friends out east more than that too to my friends in bc more than that too
00:14:15.020
mortgage rates are through the effing roof to buy a home you need at least a million bucks
00:14:19.820
to get a decent home and the people in ottawa just sit there and laugh at it like it's no big deal
00:14:26.000
not because they're looked after they're making a base salary anywhere from 12 000 to 15 000 bucks a
00:14:32.000
month to sit and dictate terms for what you and i have to live by what we have to live and strive for
00:14:38.460
okay and i've mentioned on this show numerous times how many taxes i have paid a month
00:14:44.300
since i start working again full-time so anywhere from 14 to 16 50 a month that's that's that's two
00:14:52.700
weeks work for a lot of people out there that's a lot of money going into uh making sure the ei
00:14:58.020
premiums are up and the cpp premiums are up too plus the additional federal income tax they take a
00:15:02.860
chunk out of right and those same people expect me to file every goddamn april to make sure i'm not
00:15:08.500
making too much money right okay now i made a point on my twitter feed there uh i'm done with federal
00:15:15.080
taxes right of course some people wait in saying oh my god you're not being civilized oh how dare you
00:15:20.580
what about roads what about your pension my pensions tax too and everybody who does get the cpp
00:15:30.180
half of that goes to taxes as well so they're taking more money out of my pay the cpp so the government
00:15:38.340
can take it back to build their roads or to help fund the war in ukraine or to build green projects
00:15:47.680

00:16:08.340
so yeah i'm a little frustrated and i'm a little angry too because my wife and i we work really
00:16:13.480
really hard and we want to get ahead we do but my savings account has gone down again okay uh the
00:16:20.180
beer bug took what i had for savings right and we're seeing we were seeing a trend here in not just
00:16:27.740
canada but in britain and the united states and other democracies too on people getting let go from
00:16:32.840
their jobs because they disagree with this format or people being fired because they disagree with
00:16:37.720
a guy in a shot class with fake boobs teaching kids how to use a power saw
00:16:43.380
okay yours truly got let go from a couple of jobs because of an opinion and because of a stance i had
00:16:51.200
towards masking okay so when it comes to people having backbones in this country you're looking at one
00:16:59.440
of them and you're also looking at some of the people that were in the freedom convoys too
00:17:04.680
and the people that have gone on national television and spoke out against the status quo that's going
00:17:09.620
around to every woke mandate to every political mandate that's trying to promote people to stifle
00:17:17.140
people okay what we can do as canadians is this whether you have one of these or whether you have
00:17:23.820
computer by all means get out there and speak your mind whether you have a platform in a town hall
00:17:29.200
or you're a counselor or you're a member of a political party stand up and start talking about
00:17:35.180
common sense okay like i said the hashtag heard around the world okay trudeau must go right they're
00:17:45.600
talking about in britain they're talking about in france talking about the united states talking about
00:17:48.840
here right because the last count i saw was maybe over 500 000 plus people
00:17:54.460
displaying it right people that work for a living people that believe what they believe in and
00:18:02.080
according to justin trudeau they have unacceptable views or they're misogynistic or they're racist
00:18:07.440
because where they stand okay i believe in calling it racism when it's there when you see it
00:18:14.000
right when someone actually persecutes somebody for being a different color or being from a different
00:18:19.260
culture and they're persecuted for that that's when you call it racism if someone has an opinion
00:18:24.480
when it comes to working for a living or going to work and how many hours they should work that's
00:18:29.180
not racism that's character we're supposed to judge people on their character but i guess that's gone
00:18:35.900
to the wind now too because if you don't agree with said status quo that's sitting in ottawa on the
00:18:40.980
hard horse right now oh you must be a misogynist and a racist no i am a canadian you are canadians
00:18:51.040
to my other viewers around the world you're a firm where you where you are with your american with
00:18:54.980
your british with your french and there's nothing wrong with loving your country there's nothing wrong
00:19:01.200
with loving your neighbors there's nothing wrong with having a stance on this democracy
00:19:05.020
whether you're conservative based or liberal based or libertarian based even ndp based or green based
00:19:12.400
nothing wrong with loving this democracy okay but with all this hype and this chaos in regards to
00:19:19.080
green technology and to money and inflation where's all this money going well a lot of it has gone to
00:19:25.060
ukraine of course to help out because you know putin and his cronies the big bullies picking on ukraine
00:19:31.340
and some ukrainian politicians that are welcoming it too so there's two sides to that coin
00:19:37.140
okay and whether you you look at the military industrial complex or not whether you take that
00:19:46.340
consideration or not there's a lot of people making some cash off this fucking fiasco and it's definitely
00:19:51.580
not you and me it's not our neighbors it's not our parents it's other guys yeah other people that
00:19:58.300
wheel and deal in washington dc other people that wheel and deal in ottawa
00:20:00.840
other people that wheel and deal in london and paris you know other people that wheel and deal in
00:20:07.660
berlin but it's not you and me ladies and gentlemen and we're just trying to get ahead
00:20:13.120
we're just trying to get ahead in a peaceful democratic way i would just took my head for a
00:20:19.640
very good reason not because it's just part of my shtick or my routine but because this is my country
00:20:24.820
it's not perfect the united states isn't perfect britain isn't perfect france isn't perfect germany
00:20:31.580
isn't perfect every democracy is not perfect and it has its history of blunders but we have our
00:20:38.300
histories of good too we have our histories of sharing promoting equality promoting the freedom
00:20:44.520
promoting proper diversity i e diversity of ideas
00:20:49.180
art building trade and commerce this country has provided some great ideas to the world
00:21:00.980
everything from insulin to the zipper to the space arm to actually sitting in the five eyes at one time
00:21:09.020
but now we can't be taken seriously because of guys like trudeau because of people like melanie jolly
00:21:15.300
and christopher freeland talking about how we don't know what we're doing
00:21:20.340
these are people that were appointed in their positions
00:21:25.260
one of them might have been elected the other one was just promoted and put in a place for namesake
00:21:30.600
other people have slapped and tickled their way into political power
00:21:35.680
and they haven't earned a goddamn thing while people like me and you
00:21:39.560
and other people like raging distant the agalon tribes and other supporters and other people who
00:21:45.520
have a good sense of humor get fucked in the ass
00:21:55.680
my fellow podcaster out there jeremy mckenzie the enemy is not in moscow
00:22:03.280
the enemy is not in moscow the enemy is not in beijing the enemy is not in tyran iran
00:22:10.040
some of our enemy i would say is in sitting in ottawa right now
00:22:20.420
how am i gonna get out of this how am i gonna instill this how am i gonna instill that how are we
00:22:26.100
gonna instill this how are we gonna get out of this how are we gonna rip off the canadian taxpayer
00:22:45.140
I don't want to see that, ladies and gentlemen.
