Summary

Bill C-21 is a bill that would allow veterans who are nearing the end of life to get medical assistance in dying (MAID) from Veterans Affairs Canada (VA) caseworkers. A former para-paralympian who served in the 2016 Paralympic Games testified to a parliamentary committee that she was offered the same thing.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, coming up with the Crusting Up podcast for this beautiful
00:00:05.460 5th of December 2022, made for our veterans, hate towards the media, and more lies on Bill
00:00:12.140 C-21.
00:00:13.260 That's right, ladies and gentlemen, the Liberal government's coming after our guns, they want
00:00:16.400 people to commit suicide, and some journalists are upset because of all the so-called online
00:00:21.740 hate they're getting for their subpar performance.
00:00:25.480 All that and more coming to the podcast, please stick around.
00:00:28.160 Listener and viewer discretion is advised, I do swear and I smoke cigarettes.
00:00:32.680 Stay tuned.
00:00:36.680 Hit it, sweetheart.
00:00:38.920 Because I am hard, you will not like me.
00:00:41.900 Yes, sir.
00:00:45.360 There is no racial bigotry here.
00:00:50.200 There you are all, it's what we're working.
00:00:52.120 From Western Canada, this is the Crusty Canuck podcast, a Canadian veteran's point of view
00:01:00.940 on political, social, economic issues, and life.
00:01:05.120 Here's Crusty.
00:01:07.860 That's right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show made for our veterans, hate towards
00:01:11.320 our media, and more lies on C-21.
00:01:13.420 Episode 185 of the Crusting Up podcast.
00:01:15.440 I'm your host, Crusty Canuck.
00:01:16.380 Yes, in recent events in the news, there have been some veterans who have been told by certain
00:01:22.100 case managers that maybe they could use the maid service, i.e., medical assistance in dying.
00:01:29.820 Now, yours truly here, ladies and gentlemen, is a veteran.
00:01:32.460 You've heard this before.
00:01:33.340 If you're a first-time listener and subscriber to the podcast, I spent 20 years in the Canadian
00:01:37.140 Army.
00:01:38.080 Saw my share of action in 2007.
00:01:41.600 Met some good people.
00:01:43.100 Lost some good people.
00:01:43.980 Made some friends.
00:01:44.740 Lost some friends.
00:01:45.420 You know how the cycle goes when you put your ass in the line to do something and somebody
00:01:50.260 bites it.
00:01:51.680 That's life.
00:01:52.580 Yours truly, back in 2014, went through some nasty issues and thought about doing some
00:01:59.860 terrible things to myself.
00:02:01.680 Luckily, I'm here right now, and I am not ever going to do that again because I believe
00:02:06.580 in giving life a chance and doing what's right and living through experiences and learning
00:02:10.600 and knowing the experiences and helping others the best you can, the best of your ability.
00:02:15.840 However, in the news recently, there have been some reports of more and more veterans being
00:02:21.680 told that, well, here's an option for you.
00:02:24.260 You can just end your life.
00:02:25.680 Now, here's something from CTV recently.
00:02:28.660 I'll just put it in the stream here.
00:02:29.880 Basically, a Paralympian was offered the same thing.
00:02:36.760 Excuse me.
00:02:38.340 I'll just read along here, and I'll leave this link in my description for you to follow.
00:02:42.900 And if you do like and hear what you see, ladies and gentlemen, please click like, subscribe,
00:02:46.220 share this all over your social media platforms.
00:02:49.160 From CTV there, the 2nd of December, a veteran and former Paralympian told a paramilitary committee,
00:02:54.820 according to the paramilitary, duh, parliamentary committee, that a caseworker from the Veterans
00:03:00.240 Affairs Canada, VAC, offered her medical assistance in dying, made, a week after the Veterans Affairs
00:03:06.840 Minister confirmed that at least four other veterans were offered the same thing.
00:03:10.580 Retired Corporal Christine Gauthier, who has been trying to get a wheelchair ramp installed
00:03:15.420 at her home for the past five years, testified on Thursday that a caseworker told her that
00:03:19.660 they could give her assisted dying, even offering to supply the maid equipment for her.
00:03:25.220 Oh, how nice.
00:03:26.500 Isn't that just sincere then?
00:03:28.560 Oh, joy.
00:03:29.560 I was completely shocked and in despair, she told CTV's Power Play on Friday.
00:03:33.240 It is remotely just what they're doing, exhausting us to the point of no return.
00:03:37.320 Gauthier said the offer for maid came during a phone call with a VAC caseworker where she
00:03:43.300 was describing her deteriorating condition.
00:03:45.560 In 1989, Gauthier suffered permanent damage to her knees and spine after jumping in a deep
00:03:49.500 hole while training on an obstacle course.
00:03:51.920 It was just getting too much and unbearable, she said.
00:03:54.920 And the person, in fact, mentioned that point, well, you know, we can assist you with assisted
00:03:59.080 dying now if you'd like.
00:04:01.340 And she was just shocked, as she said, because I was like, are you serious?
00:04:05.040 Like that, that easy?
00:04:07.500 You're going to be helping me to die, but you won't help me to live, she said.
00:04:10.620 Gauthier, who completed in the 2016 Paralympic Games and the 2016 Evictives Games as a
00:04:15.640 para-canuist, told the committee she sent letters detailing her experience to Prime Minister
00:04:19.840 Justin Trudeau and Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence McCauley.
00:04:24.020 A spokesperson for McCauley said Veterans Affairs is taking the issue very seriously while
00:04:29.220 adding that providing advice on maid is not a VAC service.
00:04:32.780 Our employees have no role to mandate, recommend it, or raise it.
00:04:36.240 Considerations for maid are the subject of discussions between a patient and their primary
00:04:40.060 care providers to determine appropriateness in each individual context.
00:04:44.580 Erica Lashbrook-Nutzen, Press Secretary for McCauley's office, said in a statement to
00:04:48.160 CTV News on Friday.
00:04:50.340 McCauley's office also told CTV News Veterans Affairs took actions to ensure this doesn't
00:04:54.640 happen again, such as issuing a directive ordering all employees not to provide advice
00:04:58.720 suggestions to veterans on the issue of MAID and implementing mandatory training.
00:05:03.740 When asked about Gauthier's experience being offered MAID, Trudeau called it absolutely
00:05:07.300 unacceptable.
00:05:08.860 We are following up with investigations.
00:05:10.180 We are changing protocols to ensure what we seem obvious to all of us.
00:05:13.080 That is not the place that Veterans Affairs can, to offer them medical assistance in dying.
00:05:16.920 As a matter of course, he told reporters in Vancouver on Friday.
00:05:20.800 Okay, and this goes on here.
00:05:22.700 But apparently, at least four instances of MAID offered to veterans, said the minister.
00:05:27.520 Last week, McCauley testified to a parliamentary committee that the department had found four
00:05:31.000 instances of MAID being offered to veterans during an internal investigation that was prompted
00:05:34.660 by reporting from Global News last summer.
00:05:37.920 Okay, so what I'll do, ladies and gentlemen, I'll leave this article in the description for
00:05:41.340 you guys to read and decipher yourself.
00:05:43.320 I'll be putting a video from Facebook there, a parliamentary and a conservative there, questions
00:05:48.260 Mr. McCauley on his standards and his efforts there.
00:05:51.220 So interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting dialogue.
00:05:56.560 Hey, ladies and gentlemen, four incidents, four situations, four situations where people
00:06:04.640 are being told, well, you can die if you want to, we'll help you along your way.
00:06:10.460 And considering that they want to keep pushing this agenda, I think this coming March is where
00:06:15.400 it becomes tabled, where you can opt out if you want to.
00:06:21.220 Now, I'm not for anybody suffering with a terminal illness.
00:06:24.840 I am not for anybody who has ALS or a cancer or AIDS, who is lying in bed or confined to
00:06:31.580 a wheelchair and they are in sheer agony.
00:06:35.120 If they want to die with unity, as far as I'm concerned, any individual who is going through
00:06:40.020 those circumstances should, but as someone who has suffered and still suffers from PTSD, what
00:06:50.380 kind of positive option is that for somebody?
00:06:55.080 What kind of option is that for someone?
00:06:57.420 You reach out for help to understand why you have these things going on in your head when
00:07:02.280 you have these issues, compiling and compounding on your back, on your shoulders, in your head,
00:07:07.560 in your psyche, in your very soul.
00:07:11.800 Then you get some ass clown who calls themselves a caseworker.
00:07:15.440 As the article said, this happened more than once.
00:07:17.660 This is from two or three different individuals who have displayed this, who have submitted this
00:07:25.340 for our approval.
00:07:28.820 There's people I know in my life that aren't with us today because they opted out.
00:07:34.660 In regards of how much it costs, what the bean counters say in regards to economics, you got
00:07:46.320 to reach out and give a helping hand to these people that have suffered and endured.
00:07:50.720 And it doesn't matter if you're a soldier.
00:07:52.640 It doesn't matter if you're a police officer.
00:07:54.420 It doesn't matter if you're a doctor, if you're a paramedic.
00:07:57.240 It doesn't matter if you witnessed a heinous crime or not.
00:08:00.120 If someone is reaching out and they need to understand why do they have these nightmares?
00:08:05.400 Why do they have these issues?
00:08:06.840 Why do they hate themselves?
00:08:08.440 Why is there high anxiety?
00:08:09.480 Why is there high blood pressure?
00:08:11.060 It all factors in.
00:08:13.640 Right?
00:08:14.340 And these son of a bitches just want to save a few bucks.
00:08:17.300 That's my take.

00:09:16.560 Yes.
00:09:17.380 So carrying on.
00:09:18.640 You're having government officials, people work for government offices.
00:09:21.340 Doesn't matter what their qualifications are.
00:09:23.220 They're sitting there trying to encourage you to fucking end your life.
00:09:27.160 Now, it doesn't matter if it happened to four troops or 40 troops or one soldier or not.
00:09:33.300 Okay.
00:09:33.680 Veterans Affairs should be there to help the veteran.
00:09:37.840 Right.
00:09:39.260 But I guess not.
00:09:40.760 Right.
00:09:41.360 There's all these incidents in regards to someone.
00:09:44.680 Well, we can do this for you if you like or do that for you if you like.
00:09:47.980 Right.
00:09:48.160 I know how painstaking it is to get things across.
00:09:52.660 The endless paper trails.
00:09:54.440 Okay.
00:09:55.180 The validations.
00:09:57.480 More paper trails.
00:09:58.680 The reports.
00:09:59.320 The validations.
00:10:00.160 The validations.
00:10:02.180 Are you sure your injury is due to your service?
00:10:05.960 Are you sure you have a bad back because of your time in the infantry?
00:10:09.380 Are you sure your knees are screwed up because of your time in the infantry?
00:10:12.660 Are you sure your head is all screwed up because of the chaos?
00:10:16.680 Yeah.
00:10:18.020 How else do you validate that?
00:10:19.500 And now we hear this coming from our government.
00:10:22.100 Okay.
00:10:22.940 We all heard the Justin Trudeau speech to that poor veteran there in February of 2018 where you're asking for more than we're able to give.
00:10:30.000 This was just after he handed $10.5 million to Omar Khadir because of pain and suffering he suffered at Gitmo.
00:10:37.100 Oh, and then what the $8 million is spent on that hockey rink to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary, right, that you couldn't skate on or play hockey in.
00:10:45.660 But we'll spend $8 million on that anyway.
00:10:48.040 And here's a veteran asking for help.
00:10:50.740 And just the buffoonery.
00:10:54.800 And what gets me is that people are willing to stand by these clowns and justify.
00:10:59.600 Oh, why they said this and why they said that.
00:11:03.120 Oh, what are we supposed to do?
00:11:04.900 What are we going to do?
00:11:05.900 Oh, my goodness.
00:11:07.420 Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:11:09.320 We're backing into a corner.
00:11:10.420 So, to my fellow veterans out there that are listening right now, to my fellow listeners out there that appreciate what veterans have done, it's up to us to stand fast and stand high against these clowns.
00:11:25.620 That's all I can think right now other than violence, but I'm not going to promote violence.
00:11:30.380 I'm not going to promote that.
00:11:31.340 But, you know, we have to set a better example and show them what it really fucking takes to lead and to stand for something that's real and right.

00:11:54.860 And I'll display a video here shortly there, too, ladies and gentlemen.
00:11:57.400 I'm going to be carrying on again with the Krusty Canuck podcast here.
00:12:01.340 If you like and hear what you see, please click like, subscribe, and share this content all over your social media platforms.
00:12:06.280 I highly encourage it before Bill C-11 becomes a reality.
00:12:11.100 And they might deem me not Canadian enough for this platform because I said too many bad words.
00:12:17.180 Oh, my goodness.
00:12:18.960 I'm just going to keep the video here for you as always, ladies and gentlemen.
00:12:21.600 But here's what they had on Friday there in the parliamentary committee.
00:12:25.660 Lawrence McCauley being questioned by Mr. Blake Richards from the Conservative Party.
00:12:34.220 And just listen for yourself and see how much sidestepping is there, honestly.
00:12:40.680 Just to get a better understanding of how a lot of these individuals like to operate on our dime.
00:12:49.460 You know, the Canadian taxpayer, of course.
00:12:51.720 We pay for this.
00:12:52.820 We have to find this.
00:12:54.040 We have to find that.
00:12:55.320 We have to make everything accessible, you know.
00:12:58.840 But I'm also finding, too, the past few years we have also seen quite a bit of buffoonery when it comes to government regulation.
00:13:05.960 And how these individuals are really beginning to rule.
00:13:10.620 So what I will do is...
00:13:13.480 Cue this up.
00:13:16.280 Hopefully the volume is adequate.
00:13:18.540 If you can't hear it, then please let me know in the comments section.
00:13:22.320 But I will...
00:13:23.220 This is from Facebook here.
00:13:26.000 I will just cue this up for you as all.
00:13:29.420 Pardon my expressions there, ladies and gentlemen.
00:13:31.680 This is just total buffoonery on this guy's part.
00:13:35.120 It's like he's looking for his cues of some sort.
00:13:37.920 He's just not really paying attention to the actual detail, to the questions at hand.
00:13:43.360 Well, it's typical.
00:13:44.060 It's the Liberal Party.
00:13:44.680 What do you expect, right?
00:13:46.140 But, you know, you decide.
00:13:48.300 Okay.
00:13:49.920 But what I can tell you is we have found nobody else that has indicated to...
00:13:57.340 We find no information to...
00:13:59.920 I just want to let me answer the question.
00:14:01.680 You asked the question.
00:14:02.480 Well, sure, but let me interrupt because you're telling me that you still believe that there's
00:14:07.240 only four?
00:14:08.040 When we've had Christine Gauthier come forward, we've had Bruce come forward, and I'm aware
00:14:12.020 of at least a couple of others.
00:14:13.660 Now, granted, they haven't come forward, but we know that a couple of them have.
00:14:17.640 And Minister, beyond that, in July of 2021, you say you want them to come forward.
00:14:23.080 Christine Gauthier came to you in July of 2021.
00:14:25.940 She did come forward, and you did nothing.
00:14:30.220 Do you not see that as a problem?
00:14:31.580 You said it quite clearly that in your statement, I believe, that Christine Gauthier was offered
00:14:38.200 this service.
00:14:40.260 I have to be very careful what I indicate about specific files.
00:14:45.900 Excuse me.
00:14:46.380 But I believe that I would have to ask my deputy to respond.
00:14:49.860 I just want to be careful.
00:14:51.020 I do not want to affect the investigation.
00:14:53.380 But we want to find out it's exactly what happened, when it happened, and who was involved.
00:14:58.700 But I would ask my deputy to respond to that.
00:15:01.060 And just before you do that, Minister, I can appreciate that you don't want to do anything
00:15:08.380 that would cause harm to the investigation.
00:15:10.600 However, can you tell us, have you done anything?
00:15:13.400 I mean, you were aware of this case back in July of 2021.
00:15:16.800 Clearly didn't pay attention to it.
00:15:18.100 But now, at least that it's come to light in the media and in this committee since last
00:15:22.160 Thursday, have you investigated what happened or done anything to try to investigate what
00:15:26.260 happened in that period of time?
00:15:27.720 Thank you very much.
00:15:28.700 As I indicated previously at the meeting, upon hearing this, I asked my deputy to conduct
00:15:33.140 an investigation there in doing that.
00:15:35.520 I indicated to them, I was briefed a couple of weeks ago, and I asked my deputy to expand
00:15:40.840 the investigation.
00:15:41.820 He has done that.
00:15:43.180 It has been referred to the RCMP.
00:15:45.880 That has been done.
00:15:46.960 What we want to do is make fully sure that anybody that has any difficulty in this way,
00:15:52.740 but I think in all fairness, we have to let the deputy respond to what you indicated at
00:15:58.680 the committee.
00:15:59.340 That's what I have done.
00:16:00.420 Go ahead.
00:16:00.780 Take sure.
00:16:01.180 Just before you do that.
00:16:02.720 Lord, you're not going to let me speak.
00:16:05.000 Minister, sure I will.
00:16:07.440 But you're the one responsible.
00:16:09.180 And this was brought to your attention in July of 2021.
00:16:13.520 And you did nothing for over a year.
00:16:16.300 Now you're telling us, well, there's an investigation.
00:16:18.220 Great.
00:16:18.560 That's wonderful.
00:16:19.140 And we're glad to see that's happening.
00:16:21.080 But you keep telling us there's four.
00:16:23.760 We know there is more than four.
00:16:26.420 And without a doubt, I'm aware that the previous case that came in the media that the agent
00:16:33.680 involved was in British Columbia.
00:16:35.700 Christine Gauthier is located in Quebec.
00:16:37.680 She has indicated to, I heard of her on a podcast this weekend where she indicated she
00:16:42.220 had two separate caseworkers that both suggested Maid to her.
00:16:47.440 One was male and one was female.
00:16:49.540 So there is more than one caseworker involved here.
00:16:52.780 There clearly is.
00:16:54.260 So I wonder what you've done to investigate it.
00:16:55.980 And can you maybe tell us, whoever's going to answer it, how many total times has your
00:17:02.740 investigation uncovered that Maid has been brought up in either a call...
00:17:06.320 Excuse me, Mr. Richards, I'm sorry.
00:17:09.560 The six minutes, it's way over.
00:17:11.760 So please...
00:17:15.380 Oh, six minutes is up.
00:17:17.180 Sorry, guys.
00:17:18.660 I don't know what I was saying.
00:17:19.760 Like, honestly, you have someone who's elected to represent veterans.
00:17:26.160 It doesn't matter if you're representing senior veterans or new veterans or older veterans
00:17:29.600 or mediocre veterans, you hire someone to do that, okay?
00:17:37.260 Now, of course, he was elected, like everybody else, the last federal election, which is still
00:17:41.520 up in the air in regards to Chinese involvement.
00:17:44.200 But that's for another episode, another story, okay?
00:17:47.580 And here's this clown sidestepping.
00:17:49.820 You saw it for yourselves, ladies and gentlemen.
00:17:51.700 If you didn't hear it, my apologies.
00:17:52.860 But thank you out there to Blake Richards for loading that video and putting it on his
00:17:56.700 Facebook page.
00:17:58.580 Still, it's self-explanatory.
00:18:01.300 They don't care.
00:18:03.560 They don't.
00:18:04.380 They don't care.
00:18:05.500 They would rather just, you know, have us wait.
00:18:09.140 You know, have us wait for this and have us wait for that.
00:18:13.860 And then, you know, they can sit back and have their champagne socialist ideas and just
00:18:18.660 reminisce about the good old days.
00:18:19.980 We didn't have to take responsibility for anything.
00:18:23.700 We just live in the so-called prima donna world.
00:18:26.280 They all perpetuate.
00:18:28.260 Well, the rest of us here are trying to find answers and find the truth.
00:18:31.480 So, that's the thing.
00:18:33.520 Right?
00:18:33.720 Anyway, I'll leave links in the description for you, as all there, ladies and gentlemen,
00:18:35.800 to read at your own leisure.
00:18:37.780 Decide amongst yourselves what you think is right.
00:18:40.580 And you and I both know that these clowns, they don't care about us.
00:18:45.600 They don't want the best.
00:18:47.260 They just want to cover their asses.

00:19:00.260 As I mentioned earlier, episode 195, ladies and gentlemen, made for our veterans hate towards the media and more lies on Bill C-21.
00:19:10.200 That's right.
00:19:10.700 They're amending C-21 as we speak.
00:19:14.500 Apparently, they added an additional 470-odd pages amending what guns we can have and not have.
00:19:20.180 First, they banned the sale of, you know, pistols and military-style weapons, right?
00:19:27.980 And now they're going after centerfire rifles and centerfire shotguns.
00:19:35.420 And yet centerfire is usually used in a lot of sports shooting and hunting.
00:19:40.660 Interesting.
00:19:41.500 Interesting.
00:19:44.720 My best guess is this one, a band guns.
00:19:47.620 Anyway, but I'll get to that shortly.
00:19:49.060 But they had a conference at Carleton University there on the 1st of December talking about online hate towards female journalists.
00:19:57.400 And, of course, they had some token guy there who was beating himself up, calling himself a fifth-generation settler in the name of this woke mantra.
00:20:06.320 Now, I have nothing against any journalist who is female, who is black, who is white.
00:20:13.160 If they identify as this, identify as that, I don't care.
00:20:18.340 What I care about is that we have seen the mainstream media, I would say, for the better part of seven years, twist and turn and shape and shift every different narrative out there except for actual freedom.
00:20:31.960 Now, when you look at the convoy reports that have happened since February, just prior to the EMA being instituted by our beloved potato puppet, Mr. Death and Turtle, look how the stories have changed, okay?
00:20:48.580 Look how the stories have changed all the time.
00:20:50.720 They create these fantastic polls saying that 67% of Canadians agreed with the EMA, or 67% of Canadians agree with high inflation.
00:21:01.320 Or agree with the Prime Minister.
00:21:04.080 Really?
00:21:05.580 He has a minority government, so how does that 67% fit in?
00:21:10.720 Huh.
00:21:12.160 He also doesn't have a clue.
00:21:14.400 And his cabinet proved that during the coverage of the Truckers Commission.
00:21:20.140 So you can look at the footage all you want, and there's a lot of hours of footage here, ladies and gentlemen.
00:21:24.280 I had to look a few of it myself, and I'm just like, wow.
00:21:26.700 Thankfully, it was at a work day, and I could just listen to the background there as I was trucking along in my feed truck.
00:21:32.660 But it needs to say, you can tell who was being honest and who was not, okay?
00:21:39.080 So when I hear about female journalists being harassed, because I'm an adult and because I'm a male, and I'm not going to sit here and say, I'm a white male.
00:21:47.940 Well, I don't give a shit about color.
00:21:49.720 I give a shit about character.
00:21:52.760 And I give a care about actual foundation of the story, the basis of the story, and the product you're presenting to the public.
00:22:00.780 Okay.
00:22:01.420 Now, one of the journalists, of course, was Rachel Gilmore from Tech Talk fame, whatever.
00:22:06.120 And her claim to fame was calling James Topp, you know, that warrant officer from British Columbia that marched across Canada, marched across Canada, you know, rucksack on his back, and he walked across Canada.
00:22:19.480 She had the audacity of calling him a white supremacist.
00:22:23.860 And now she's at this big conference in Ottawa talking about online hate and harassment that she feels every time she posts a story.
00:22:33.260 Who the fuck cares?
00:22:36.120 How about you take responsibility for the story?
00:22:39.120 You're right.
00:22:40.700 I don't recall you ever talking to Mr. James Topp about why he was marching and why he was doing it, about his service, about his service record, what he did, how many years he got in.
00:22:52.440 Is he married?
00:22:53.180 Does he have a wife?
00:22:53.880 Does he have kids?
00:22:55.420 What else does he do other sides being a soldier?
00:22:59.300 No, no.
00:22:59.680 You got to take that angle and throw that white supremacy there, right?
00:23:03.340 Because it's a trendy buzzword right now.
00:23:06.120 So those female journalists that are at this panel worrying about hatred, maybe you should tell a story, write a story, get out there, talk to your sources, dig deep, investigate, find the truth.
00:23:20.800 Rather than worrying about your TikTok likes and dislikes, get out there and talk to people, talk to real people rather than just projecting it.
00:23:32.340 Because you're being your own worst enemy here.
00:23:34.460 And it's not sexist to say that.
00:23:36.600 It's not misogynistic to say that.
00:23:38.680 It's not hate speech.
00:23:40.360 It's reality.
00:23:42.080 Get on with it.
00:23:44.180 Right?
00:23:46.000 You think you're entitled to something just because you represent?
00:23:50.040 Oh, you're part of this group.
00:23:51.440 You're part of that group.
00:23:52.760 Oh, someone disagrees with me.
00:23:54.420 Oh, it's misogyny.
00:23:56.400 Oh, someone doesn't like my story?
00:23:58.320 Oh, it's next to them.
00:23:59.920 Someone questions you on said story?
00:24:03.240 Oh, hatred?
00:24:05.020 No.
00:24:06.080 It's fucking adulthood.

00:24:19.320 Basically, ladies and gentlemen, it's about owning your shit.
00:24:25.900 Now, I've had to redact some things.
00:24:28.600 During the convoy, I made the mistake of assuming that someone did defecate and urinate on the Terry Fox and the War Memorial.
00:24:37.220 I took it back.
00:24:38.620 And for those who didn't listen the first time, I will say it again.
00:24:42.780 Again, I did not mean to say that anybody in that convoy defecated or peed or whatever on any of those monuments.
00:24:51.460 Okay?
00:24:51.940 As I read further and researched further, nobody at the convoy did that.
00:24:56.640 Those were pictures that were taken on a Remembrance Day about two years ago where someone left a pee stain someplace.
00:25:03.920 See?
00:25:04.360 Look what I just did.
00:25:05.560 I was wrong about something and I owned it.
00:25:08.760 I'm not a journalist.
00:25:10.040 I'm not getting paid taxpayer funds to tell you a story to make you feel good with a cup of hot cocoa and maybe a foot rub or a reach-around, depending on what you're into.
00:25:19.860 I owned something.
00:25:22.460 There are times in my life I made mistakes and I made some stupid calls.
00:25:27.000 But guess what?
00:25:27.880 I'm still here to learn from it.
00:25:30.680 What's your excuse?
00:25:31.720 So what all the woke individuals out there and all the guys who want to constantly self-flagellate yourselves because of your gender or because of your identity?
00:25:42.880 Don't!
00:25:45.640 Because there's a majority of Canadians out there that are getting sick and tired of hearing it.
00:25:51.880 Fifth generation settler.
00:25:54.700 Really?
00:25:56.760 You can't say you're a Canadian?
00:25:59.040 What's wrong with saying that?
00:26:02.800 You can't say you're an adult.
00:26:04.320 You can't say you're a man.
00:26:05.320 You can't say I'm an actual journalist.
00:26:07.300 I'm an actual plumber.
00:26:08.540 I'm an actual garbage collector.
00:26:09.760 I'm an actual carpenter.
00:26:11.460 I'm a father.
00:26:12.420 I'm a husband.
00:26:13.800 I'm a polo player.
00:26:15.460 I'm a badminton player.
00:26:16.720 Like, well, what's wrong?
00:26:19.020 Like, you're catering.
00:26:20.360 This self-flagellation and this constant bowing to this woke mantra.
00:26:24.380 Is your life going to be any easier if you do that?
00:26:28.800 I'm a Canadian.
00:26:29.820 I'm an ex-soldier.
00:26:30.900 I'm a laborer.
00:26:31.600 I'm a husband.
00:26:32.240 I'm an uncle.
00:26:32.800 I'm a brother.
00:26:33.560 I'm a friend.
00:26:34.740 I'm a patriot.
00:26:35.820 I'm a gun owner.
00:26:36.820 I'm a hunter.
00:26:39.080 I'm a sci-fi fan.
00:26:40.560 I love comedy.
00:26:41.460 I love Second City.
00:26:43.540 Right?
00:26:46.340 What else should I say?
00:26:47.460 Oh, okay.
00:26:48.100 Then I'm white.
00:26:48.720 Okay, well, I'm white.
00:26:49.540 Not that it matters.
00:26:51.600 I'm in my 40s.
00:26:52.860 I pay my bills.
00:26:55.060 I look after myself.
00:26:56.500 I own my shit.
00:26:59.120 What's your excuse there, journos?
00:27:01.040 Right?
00:27:01.580 So while you sit here and compile about all the hatred that you get, guys like me and other people that I know are going to keep questioning your status quo.
00:27:11.060 They're going to question your narrative.
00:27:12.720 Now, I don't want to see any harm come to you.
00:27:15.000 No, I don't.
00:27:16.640 But the more and more you keep digging this crap, the more and more you keep lying to people saying,
00:27:20.580 oh, we're victims of hate and misogyny.
00:27:24.160 The more and more people are going to come after you and say, no, you're not.
00:27:28.160 You were wrong about this.
00:27:29.920 You were wrong about that.
00:27:31.920 You were wrong about this guy.
00:27:33.420 You're wrong about that guy.
00:27:35.600 Own it.
00:27:36.080 That's what it's coming down to.
00:27:39.240 But instead, you're going to spend all this faculty money to have these conferences to talk about hatred.
00:27:45.080 Right?
00:27:45.640 The individual that wrote the article about the vaccines and the Toronto Star, individual that said, oh, the unvaccinated should be this and the unvaccinated should be that.
00:27:54.620 We've all seen that article.
00:27:56.300 I'll look for it and I'll put the description.
00:27:57.620 If not, you might have to look for yourself, my wonderful audience, but she had the audacity to say that, oh, it was taken out of context.
00:28:06.680 When you're posting headlines on a newspaper and when the majority of Canadians I know personally can read, and they read very well, by the way, see something like that, what do you want them to think?
00:28:17.240 Oh, she's just kidding.
00:28:18.620 Oh, she doesn't mean that.
00:28:20.840 Said no one.
00:28:22.320 Like I say, ladies and gentlemen, crack don't smoke itself.

00:29:52.140 So, you know, please give me a thumbs up there.
00:29:53.720 Help the algorithm out here.
00:29:54.880 And help us create more decent Canadian content.
00:29:58.820 Without worrying about identities and worrying about who's a settler, who isn't a settler.
00:30:03.460 Because the majority of Canadians are not settlers.
00:30:05.420 We may be descendants of said settlers.
00:30:08.560 But when I came out to Western Canada, I didn't come out here with a wagon, an oxen, and 10 bucks in my pocket, and a deed from the king.
00:30:16.060 No, I came out here with a career, a car, and a plan.
00:30:20.340 Self-explanatory.
00:30:21.840 So, when someone calls you a settler, then get them to back it up.
00:30:26.200 Get them to back it up.
00:30:27.320 And then remind them, too, that in the 1860s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, you had settlers come over to this part of the country.
00:30:36.040 And then people laid their roots and foundations and raised families.
00:30:40.380 And those families grew up and laid more roots and foundations and raised more families.
00:30:45.000 So, it doesn't matter what culture you're from or if you identify as a Canadian or not.
00:30:50.220 We're not settlers.
00:30:51.620 We're Canucks.
00:30:53.040 And if you don't like the word Canuck or Canadian, well, you don't have to.
00:30:55.920 No one's saying you do.
00:30:57.800 But when you open up your wallet and you've got something like this, a few bucks there, how bad is Canadian culture after all?
00:31:10.640 Ask yourself that.
00:31:12.240 Anyway, carrying on again, too, with more of the made-for-our-veterans, hate-towards-our-media, and more lies in C-21.
00:31:19.060 Now, as far as I know, the Liberals have, like I say, added more pages to the C-21.
00:31:23.560 I still think it's in second reading.
00:31:26.660 I'm not sure if it's been lawed yet.
00:31:28.460 But as I mentioned earlier, they basically want to take hunting rifles away from people.
00:31:34.920 Right?
00:31:35.440 Now, I'm a gun collector, and I'm a gun owner, and I'm a shooter, and I'm a hunter.
00:31:39.260 Now, I haven't hunted in the past couple of years.
00:31:42.340 Probably because I missed the courses and I was either working or I just didn't have time.
00:31:46.740 But needless to say, I do want to go out and get myself some meat and enjoy the fruits of my labors, and I want to share the meat with my family and friends and those who are less fortunate.
00:31:57.300 Right?
00:31:57.760 But now, with this new legislation luring over our heads and more gun grab and more gun fear of, oh, my God, you have a big black gun.
00:32:06.360 That's so scary.
00:32:07.220 It's basically just a liberal government telling us that, oh, you can't have those anymore.
00:32:13.480 Right?
00:32:14.140 Now, Mark Manzino keeps saying that we're not going after hunting rifles.
00:32:17.920 We're going after those assault-style rifles because they're meant to carry more ammo than usual.
00:32:23.820 Now, I've mentioned this before in the podcast, ladies and gentlemen, that if you buy a semi-automatic rifle in this country, you are vetted all the time.
00:32:31.900 You have to have your little card, and I will show you my card, ladies and gentlemen.
00:32:36.340 I am a licensed gun owner.
00:32:37.740 Yes, I am.
00:32:38.560 You have to get yourself one of these.
00:32:40.720 Okay?
00:32:42.020 And in order to get one of those, you have to pass your course, your restricted and your non-restricted course, and you have to file your paperwork in and all that stuff.
00:32:50.880 I think the fee is at $75 now to Mirror Machine New Brunswick, and you get processed and you get vetted by the RCMP every day.
00:32:59.380 And when I look up this guy's name, oh, who is this guy?
00:33:01.120 He's got a card?
00:33:01.880 Oh, okay.
00:33:02.660 Yeah, he's good.
00:33:03.240 He's good.
00:33:04.140 Every day.
00:33:06.220 Right?
00:33:06.560 Now, the liberal logic is this.
00:33:08.460 Well, since you have a rifle that can fire more than five rounds, which is allowed in Canada, okay, but you have a semi-automatic rifle and you have a magazine that can house 20 or 30, those magazines are always pinned at five.
00:33:21.400 Pinned or capped at five.
00:33:22.840 Okay?
00:33:23.140 Now, if you're caught messing with that pin or that cap on said magazine, say goodbye to your gun license, say goodbye to your guns, say goodbye to ever owning a firearm ever again.
00:33:33.640 That's a big no-no.
00:33:34.720 But the liberal logic is this.
00:33:37.180 Well, considering you might have that, you might use that and do something really, really bad.
00:33:43.340 Okay?
00:33:43.840 So that's why we're going to ban it all.
00:33:46.000 That's just like saying, okay, well, you drive a truck and you drink beer.
00:33:50.240 Okay, nothing wrong with that.
00:33:54.240 Lots of people I know drive trucks and drink beer.
00:34:00.680 That doesn't mean they do it at the same time.
00:34:02.940 But their logic is, well, considering you have a truck and you drink beer, we're just going to give you a DUI ticket just in case you decide to do that.
00:34:10.620 All in the name of safety.
00:34:11.920 See, that's their logic when it comes to gun regulations in this country.
00:34:14.880 And they're still holding on to the polytechnic massacre that happened back in 1989 this month.
00:34:20.300 Okay?
00:34:20.760 I remember watching it in the news and it was terrible.
00:34:22.640 It was, God, that was evil.
00:34:25.500 Right?
00:34:26.080 But then again, Canadian gun laws were a lot different then too.
00:34:29.940 Right?
00:34:30.860 And I remember they spent a good part of five years or six years in parliament changing the gun laws to what they were before the liberals took over.
00:34:41.040 Okay?
00:34:41.640 Where you had to be vetted and it had to be registered and all that too.
00:34:44.560 And they got rid of the long gun registry because it was just stupid.
00:34:47.440 Right?
00:34:48.100 It was just, really, it was stupid.
00:34:49.640 It was a waste of taxpayers' money and time and effort and it cost billions later on.
00:34:54.940 Right?
00:34:55.760 Now they just want to take them away because they really don't have a plan of actually buying them from you.
00:35:00.000 And I'm not going to say buy back because they never bought them in the first place.
00:35:03.640 They didn't do the training.
00:35:04.480 So, every gun owner out there owns what he or she worked for, what he or she earned.
00:35:11.400 Okay?
00:35:12.440 Now there was also a big bust that happened in Toronto today too.
00:35:15.300 62 illegal firearms, quote unquote, illegal firearms were caught by the Toronto Police Services.
00:35:23.960 And there's six individuals that have been charged with, I think, roughly 260 crimes pertaining to these illegal guns.
00:35:31.060 And when you look at the photographs, I'll leave links in my description there, ladies and gentlemen.
00:35:34.600 A lot of these handguns are illegal because they're smaller pistols.
00:35:38.400 Right?
00:35:39.020 And there's smaller AK variants too.
00:35:43.280 Right?
00:35:43.500 And according to the Toronto Police Service, 57 of those 62 firearms came to the United States.
00:35:52.780 Now, I'm not blaming my American friends.
00:35:54.880 I'm not blaming anybody in the United States.
00:35:57.840 But gun laws in the United States are totally different than they are in Canada.
00:36:01.360 You don't need a lesson from me to tell you that.
00:36:03.880 We know this.
00:36:04.900 Okay?
00:36:05.980 But they were smuggled.
00:36:07.840 Okay?
00:36:08.280 And four of those guns were untraceable, except for one of them that was actually stolen from someone's home, they say, about a year ago.
00:36:18.220 So, obviously, whoever had their guns stolen called the police, told them, hey, someone stole my gun.
00:36:24.240 So, he was being a responsible citizen.
00:36:26.920 Okay?
00:36:28.220 But I wonder what the Liberals are going to make up as an excuse and what the TPS did.
00:36:33.120 TPS, I think, did a good job stopping these guns from hitting the streets.
00:36:37.400 And they weren't just your typical cowboy pistol or revolver, you know.
00:36:42.740 Some of these magazine capacities were 15 rounds.
00:36:45.380 Some of them were smaller so you can conceal them properly.
00:36:47.860 Some of them were less than four inches.
00:36:49.980 Some of these semi-automatic AK variants were small and compact for concealment, which are highly illegal in Canada.
00:36:59.200 You can't just go to a gun shop, even with a card, and buy something like that.
00:37:04.500 Right?
00:37:05.300 So, they were illegal firearms.
00:37:06.560 So, to all the Mendocinos and Trudeaus and Freelands and all these anti-gun advocates out there, what have you got to say?
00:37:15.320 Look what the Toronto Police Service did.
00:37:18.560 Right?
00:37:19.700 They stopped some gangland activity.
00:37:23.160 Now, I don't know the background of the six individuals that are arrested, however, but they've been tracing these guys for about eight to nine months now.
00:37:30.600 So, they've been hot and heavy trying to stop the illegal gun trade that's been going on.
00:37:36.580 Right?
00:37:37.640 So, I'll leave links in the description there, ladies and gentlemen, for you all to look at and ponder at your leisure.
00:37:41.880 But, something to think about.
00:37:45.860 Right?
00:37:46.700 They're backing people into a corner.
00:37:49.640 Right?
00:37:50.140 People like you and me, your neighbors, whatever.
00:37:52.340 Now, I don't care who owns a gun, who doesn't own a gun.
00:37:54.700 No one says you must own this.
00:37:58.080 No one says you must own that.
00:38:00.180 Right?
00:38:00.640 If you disagree with someone owning a firearm, well, you're entitled to that.
00:38:04.260 That's fine.
00:38:05.560 Okay?
00:38:06.320 But, if you're scared of somebody because they own an inanimate object, like this.
00:38:11.700 This is a toy, ladies and gentlemen.
00:38:13.040 This isn't real.
00:38:14.200 This is a toy.
00:38:15.220 This is something my wife got me as a decoration.
00:38:18.000 Right?
00:38:18.160 It's a toy.
00:38:20.520 You're scared of something like this?
00:38:22.660 See?
00:38:23.140 This is a toy, too.
00:38:24.300 This is a pellet gun.
00:38:25.760 Right?
00:38:26.240 That's all it is.
00:38:27.080 A pellet gun.
00:38:28.120 It looks like a pistol, but it's plastic.
00:38:30.860 There's nothing to it.
00:38:32.020 It's a pellet gun.
00:38:32.840 It's for vermin.
00:38:33.900 Getting rid of rodents.
00:38:35.500 Right?
00:38:35.980 You're scared of that?
00:38:37.500 Right?
00:38:38.020 I'm not going to pull out my rifles and my pistols to show you.
00:38:40.780 No.
00:38:41.500 But, I think you get my point.
00:38:43.500 Right?
00:38:44.100 I understand gun safety.
00:38:45.480 I understand responsibility.
00:38:46.460 Once a month, I check them and I give them a pull through just to keep them oiled and
00:38:50.580 ready to rock and roll.
00:38:52.140 Gun maintenance.
00:38:52.960 You do the same thing with your car.
00:38:54.100 You make sure the oil level's good.
00:38:55.320 You make sure the fluids are good.
00:38:56.980 Make sure your tires are serviceable and you got enough gasoline to make it go from point
00:39:00.280 A to point B.
00:39:01.680 Right?
00:39:01.820 Just regular maintenance.
00:39:03.580 And it's my property.
00:39:04.820 Just like what you own is your property.
00:39:07.100 But now we've got the government who wants to step in and take it away.
00:39:09.820 All in the name of safety.
00:39:12.500 Which you know is BS.
00:39:14.000 They just don't want you to have them.
00:39:15.160 They don't want you to have them.
00:39:16.460 It's something to think about.
00:39:17.960 Especially next year, too, where they project that food costs are going to go up and the
00:39:21.240 cost of living is going to go up because of all the spending they did during the pandemic.
00:39:25.000 Which was basically just irresponsibility in their part and they don't really care.
00:39:29.160 They're going to expect you and I to pay for it.
00:39:32.380 Not this guy.
00:39:33.860 And neither should you.
00:39:35.840 Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, this has been another episode of the Cresting Act Podcast.
00:39:38.820 Episode 195, Made for Veterans, Hate Towards Our Media, and More Lives in C21.
00:39:45.860 Tis the Christmas season.
00:39:47.240 Silly season, ladies and gentlemen.
00:39:48.380 So do what you can to help each other in these trying times.
00:39:50.800 If you can, give a few cans of extra goodies to the food bank.
00:39:54.260 Maybe talk to your local church or local charity groups.
00:39:56.700 Maybe help a family out.
00:39:58.100 Let's less fortunate.
00:39:58.840 It's been snowing here in my area of Alberta for a little while.
00:40:02.560 So maybe shovel some bit of snow.
00:40:04.080 Help your neighbor out.
00:40:04.740 Lay some salt down.
00:40:06.560 Lay some sand down.
00:40:07.860 Just make sure everything is properly safe.
00:40:10.240 Don't worry about their guns.
00:40:11.220 Just worry about them slipping and hurting their heads.
00:40:13.720 You know what I mean?
00:40:15.340 And try to be festive.
00:40:16.700 And try to be optimistic.
00:40:18.720 To my veteran friends out there, don't let this crap get you down.
00:40:22.640 All right?
00:40:23.380 And if you have a lifeline, someone you talk to, get out and talk and express it.
00:40:27.080 Get out and discuss it.
00:40:30.420 And if you're mad, be mad.
00:40:32.080 If you're upset, be upset.
00:40:34.620 Okay?
00:40:34.940 If you're concerned, be concerned.
00:40:36.940 Okay?
00:40:37.840 This irresponsibility has to stop.
00:40:40.780 Period.
00:40:42.100 Because like I said, yours truly went some trying times.
00:40:44.560 And I'm here now.
00:40:46.060 Because I had to fight for the support.
00:40:47.860 And I got myself into a great network.
00:40:50.540 And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me.
00:40:54.040 Reach out to me.
00:40:54.820 Let me know what's on your mind.
00:40:55.900 And I will do my best to give you the information that you need to help you along your way.
00:41:01.800 But still, contact your MP, ladies and gentlemen.
00:41:04.660 Contact your MPP or MLA.
00:41:07.380 And tell them what's on your mind.
00:41:09.340 Because this bullshit's got to stop.
00:41:12.140 But like I said, ladies and gentlemen, this has been another episode of the Crest Gap Podcast for 5th of December 2022.
00:41:17.700 I wish nothing but good things for you as all out there.
00:41:23.260 In this trying time and this Christmas season, do what we can to help each other out.
00:41:27.260 Look after your friends and loved ones.
00:41:29.560 And always remember, humanity and merit wins the day.
00:41:34.060 Take care.
00:41:35.080 And I'll probably talk to you just tomorrow.
00:41:36.600 Bye for now.
00:41:37.160 Hit it, sweetheart.
00:41:42.760 Because I am hard, you will not like me.
00:41:46.820 Yes, sir.
00:41:50.320 There is no racial bigotry here.
00:41:55.000 There you are all.
00:41:56.280 This has been another episode of the Krusty Canuck Podcast.
00:42:03.200 Stay sane.
00:42:04.200 And thank you for listening.
00:42:05.660 From Western Canada.
00:42:07.040 This is the Krusty Canuck Podcast.
