In this episode of The Krusty Canuck Rant, I rant about Tory MPP Aaron O'Toole stepping down, an MPP apparently punched in the face at a protest, and Canadian forces need better kit.
00:01:56.260So I know some people might be upset and everything.
00:02:02.640Let's just say the last two weeks of the election, Aaron O'Toole didn't really do much for gun rights, didn't really want to tackle the carbon tax.
00:02:12.500He more or less became a woke individual, conservative light, red Tory, I guess you can say.
00:02:18.460So needless to say, he was full of shit.
00:02:20.420So I really don't care if he's coming or going, whatever.
00:02:30.000So he gets a cushy pension as an officer from the military.
00:02:33.460And he's going to get a cushy pension from the gang taxpayer as a former MP, former leader of the Conservative Party.
00:02:41.720Now, what annoys me the most about Mr. O'Toole is not because he's a fellow vet.
00:02:47.440I got a lot of respect for fellow vets.
00:02:48.640I don't care what profession you get into.
00:02:49.860The fact that he stood on certain conservative principles when it came to people keeping their money, keeping taxes low, letting liberty reign, that kind of thing.
00:02:58.920In the last two weeks of that election, he just kind of fizzled and tried to cater to Justin Trudeau's kind of crowd.
00:03:04.400So when I listen to this clown talk about being fair and open and transparent and giving people a hard time for waving the old F. Trudeau flag, I'm thinking, okay, you know, I can understand professional decorum.
00:03:19.280I can understand professional dedication.
00:03:20.840But do you not see the reason why people were waving that flag to begin with?
00:03:27.180Do you not see why people bought that flag in record numbers?
00:03:31.640Why it's proudly displayed alongside our maple leaf?
00:03:55.000And I'll just queue up an article here from the National Post about Aaron O'Toole, you know, stepping off into the sunset of political, you know, entropy or whatever the hell.
00:04:07.120But needless to say, I'm just not really, really thoroughly impressed.
00:07:00.080And it seems like every time there's this transgender protest, there's so many people that are up in arms and want to cause some shit somewhere, somehow.
00:07:44.680And NDP MPP, Joel Harden from Ontario.
00:07:49.400You know, the question is, was an Ontario MPP punched in the face or did he accidentally cut himself with a megaphone?
00:07:55.920It seems people on all sides experienced it differently.
00:07:58.220Those in favor of trans education in schools feel this way was a hateful attack.
00:08:02.540It illustrates the danger of LGBTQ plus people are in.
00:08:06.040While opponents ask if this is Canada's own Jussie Smollett moment where an actor in Chicago falsely claimed to be attacked by two men wearing mega hats.
00:08:13.940Meanwhile, the NDP MPP says, well, he was punched in the face at protest Friday over transgender ideology and acceptance in schools.
00:08:21.860He does not want to bring the police into it.
00:10:19.320Now, I'll tell you a little story here, ladies and gentlemen.
00:10:21.500I used to work on a base in the base gym administratively, and I was working my way into sports stores, which was basically going to be a steady full-time gig.
00:11:33.040As long as it's between consenting adults.
00:11:36.580Because you can look up gay as against groomers.
00:11:38.720You can look up actual drag queens that have spoken out against this monstrosity about drag queen storytime forcing the transgender issue down kids' throats.
00:11:48.360For God's sakes, people, let kids be kids.
00:12:10.980You're messing with people's liberty here.
00:12:13.000How is it effective for a little kid to go under the knife, to get his privates cut away, to your little girl, to get her memory glands cut away, to change everything up, to mess the medicine up, and then what?

00:14:30.380And so, as I was saying, in this Tuesday rant, we just talked about our own tool and the so-called MPP that, you know, went through a hate crime, apparently.
00:14:40.380Now, I'll leave that article in the links for you to follow and just think about this whole issue with our kids, okay?
00:14:47.440I have some young nieces and nephews that are having a hard time as it is, let alone having some teacher tell them the meaning of life by, you can be a girl, you can be a boy, and you can fly away in Ever-Neverland because everything is just false.
00:15:11.860It's that simple, ladies and gentlemen.
00:15:13.380But I'm not going to get too emotional.
00:15:14.720I know it's a rant here, but I'm not going to get too emotional here.

00:15:23.040And to my rumblers out there, thank you.
00:15:24.420I'm getting a couple more subscribers.
00:16:13.480I mentioned the MPP who claimed a hate crime when, really, there's footage about him there with a megaphone to his face, and he's pressing it against his face as he's speaking his garbage.
00:16:35.240Because you keep promoting that bullshit.
00:16:37.240Someone is really going to punch you in the face, and no one's going to believe you.
00:16:41.000We know the Jesse Smollett story, how he convinced the world that he was a victim when he actually hired two Nigerian bodyguards to tune him in.
00:17:18.300It's kind of embarrassing because as an ex-member of the Canadian military, we had our share of issues too when it came to procurement and when it came to, you know, looking after the things that need to be looked after because our procurement board is such a shitshow and our leadership is a shitshow.
00:17:56.100Gucci can't say that all the time too.
00:17:58.500For Canadian troops deployed in Latvia, those private purchases have been decidedly more practical than luxurious.
00:18:02.980Given the fact that they're taking part in more live fire training exercises meant to deter Russia from setting foot in the Baltic country.
00:18:10.660They've been buying their own modern ballistic helmets equipped with built-in hearing protection that doubles as a headset.
00:18:15.480They've also personally purchased rain gear and vests and belts to carry water and ammunition.
00:18:20.420And the number of complaints about the ill-fitting body armor issued to female soldiers has been growing.
00:18:24.520These purchases, usually made through online retailers, involve brand name tactical gear or weapon accessories that make soldiers' existing gear more personal and more comfortable to wear.
00:18:36.960Canadian troops in Latvia are grappling with more urgent equipment shortages as well.
00:18:40.440The battle group has roughly 1,500 soldiers, including more than 700 Canadians, lacks modern anti-tank weapon systems to counter drones,
00:18:47.660and a dedicated short-range air defense system to guard against helicopters and attack jets.
00:18:51.640Those frustrations have only been compounded by the arrival of more allied troops among the Danish soldiers who are in some cases arriving with Canadian purchase gear that makes them better equipped than Canadian soldiers.
00:19:02.360In general, it was concerning verging on it embarrassing to see the differences in issued soldier equipment between us and the Danes,
00:19:08.560said Lieutenant Colonel Jesse Van Elk, the Canadian battle group commander in Latvia on May 12, 2023, an email obtained by CBC News.
00:19:16.660Okay, this was only exaggerated by the fact that we were carrying more advanced Canadian-made Colt Canada rifles, mounting more advanced Canadian L-Can DR sites,
00:19:25.580and the fact that most of our systems our soldiers lacked were easily available to the open market and not to some sort of closely guarded technology.
00:19:33.260For one in three decades, the Danes have been using a variety of Canadian-made weapons, including the C7 assault rifle and the C8 carbine.
00:19:38.520CBC News requested an interview with Van Elk, but he declined through the Department of National Offense.
00:19:43.740The Department said in a written statement that this email was a response to concerns raised during recent staff visit from the Army's Directorate of Equipment and Program Management.
00:20:00.660I remember when our combats came in in 2002, they were in trials for about three to four years to see if this stuff works.
00:20:09.400So we've always had a tiny military, yet every time we have a trial or procurement, something comes in the works that, oh, we need this and we need that, and they update this, update that.
00:20:20.260So basically, it's a line of bullshit, ladies and gentlemen.
00:21:15.240I remember the Khrushchev government back in 2002 stating that, oh, we shouldn't send our troops to Afghanistan with a desert camel because it looks too aggressive.
00:21:25.720Well, for fuck's sakes, you sent people into a war zone.
00:22:12.860So if you're going to send our men and women into a country to train other militaries how to do this and how to do that, you should at least look the part, right?
00:22:22.600Are you going to send firefighters to a training academy with those plastic hats you can find at Walmart for $1.50?
00:23:06.420If you take that $500 million and invest it in proper techniques in regards to keeping water clean and the innovations for the sake of the climate catastrophe that you're all so fucking worried about, which is a joke.
00:23:20.220Because our premier here in Alberta is actually putting together an investigation team to find out if these fires were intentionally set rather than so-called climate change, Mr. Gilboa, you putz.
00:23:34.020Anyway, in closing, I just want to say that I really don't care that Mr. O'Toole is stepping down because he didn't prove himself to be a leader.
00:23:41.120And to that MPP out there who wants to instigate a hate crime, you're crying wolf, buddy.
00:23:56.380Your constituents should have a say in something in this.
00:24:01.040And if I was a constituent in your writing, you know, I'd be writing a lot of fucking letters saying, why are you pretending you got hit when really you're just being incompetent?
00:24:23.500And to the civilian bean counters, and maybe some of the brass, too, if you happen to watch this podcast, okay, when it comes to procurement and defense responsibilities, I'm going to say this once.
