Vandalism on public transit in Toronto, Trudeau sends 200 troops to Latvia, and rage over a t-shirt that was seen with a politician and just a regular dude at the Calgary Stampede. All that and more coming up on this Tuesday Rant of the Kirsten Gank Podcast.
00:00:00.980A good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's a beautiful 11th of July, 2023.
00:00:06.300Come up with the Tuesday rant of the Kirsten Gank podcast.
00:00:08.720Violence from the TTC and the Mayor's Solution.
00:00:11.320Trudeau wants to send 2,200 troops to Latvia and rage over a t-shirt that was seen with a politician and just a regular dude at the Calgary Stampede.
00:00:21.600All that and more coming up on this Tuesday rant of the Kirsten Gank podcast.
00:00:25.100Listener and viewer discretion is advised because I smoke cigarettes and drop the F-bomb.

00:01:27.600So, as the title card said, yes, in recent events, we've had some violence on the Toronto transit system there, too.
00:01:34.860There was a young man by the name of Moses Lewin, 25 years old, a man who has been in and out of the system, who is wanted in other crimes.
00:01:42.060I apparently got into a fight with somebody on the subway and was, well, yeah, I think he actually stabbed somebody, too.
00:01:47.800So, I'll leave links in the description if you're always to follow.
00:01:50.860And Olivia Chow, Toronto's new mayor, has weighed in on what we can do to curb the violence in these transit systems.
00:02:00.980Her suggestion is pretty straightforward.
00:02:02.480I'll put a card up here and I'll read along with you in a moment.
00:02:06.180But we're seeing this a lot lately, ladies and gentlemen.
00:02:10.280We're seeing this a lot when it comes to violence and when it comes to gangs, when it comes to thuggery.
00:02:15.860And there's a lot of catch and releases going on, too.
00:02:19.100You can thank the likes of Bill C-71, I believe, and C-75.
00:02:23.200Our justice system is just releasing people at random for no apparent reason other than, I think, racial profiling, to be honest with you, from the social justice warrior doctrine that's plaguing our country as we speak.
00:02:40.720If someone breaks a law, they get arrested, they get detained, they get released on bail, they break the law again, they get arrested and detained, they break the law again, and then they commit a heinous crime.
00:02:51.480Yeah, they run somebody over with a vehicle like that poor sap there a few years back who killed 10 people who claimed insanity when really he was just a sicko.
00:02:58.360And to other people that are holding on for dear life to justify their crimes because of their backgrounds.
00:03:06.240It's really, really sad, ladies and gentlemen, how things are turning out.
00:03:10.080But I think the people out there, there's a silent rage brewing, too.
00:03:15.220But I'll just set this article up for you here, too.
00:03:18.680And what's been going on with the investigation.
00:10:19.140Now, I've displayed on my show numerous times the lackluster performances we've had from our leaders in regards to our military,
00:10:26.000especially the civilian leaders, government and bureaucrats alike.
00:10:29.260Yes, all these boards making these decisions about what kind of kit we should have and what kind of equipment the troops should get and all this.
00:10:36.600And, you know, the first airplane that we're going to get is going to be delivered by 2026.
00:13:20.560Especially the troops going back and forth to Latvia and Poland and helping out and training here, training there.
00:13:24.640There was issues with helmets, issues with vests, and issues with our men and women trying to feed themselves because it just wasn't in the budget.
00:14:19.980It doesn't matter if it happens in three years or three months.
00:14:22.660We've got to upgrade things first, buddy.
00:14:24.860Canada plans to more double the size of its contribution to NATO mission in Latvia by adding 1,200 military personnel to its contingent there, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced.
00:14:32.500It's Monday, there will be a gradual deployment of troops and some new equipment to create a persistence present in the Baltic country.
00:14:40.220Canada has roughly 1,000 soldiers deployed to Latvia right now with extra forces, including 15 Leopard 2A4M tanks.
00:14:46.840The contingent will swell with 2,200 over the next few years.
00:14:49.960The full deployment won't be complete until 2026.
00:15:00.760Anyway, the Liberal government has earmarked $2.6 billion for the deployment over three years, but is tapping into previously announced funds to the 2022 federal budget, $1.4 billion to pay for it.
00:15:14.520Okay, so you just gave away the past year and a half, $8.5 billion to one little nation.
00:15:19.860And yet, the Canadian forces has to wait for $2.6 billion over three years.
00:15:29.960Is there light at the end of this tunnel?
00:16:02.100This is the way forward in modern defence, Trudeau said.
00:16:06.500Almost a dozen countries from across NATO are cooperating, training, working alongside each other, and learning valuable lessons from each other to make our collective defence stronger.
00:16:15.400Canada and Latvia signed an agreement Monday, the so-called roadmap for creating this NATO brigade.
00:16:19.740Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, leaders of the Western Military Alliance agreed that summit last year to turn battle groups based in several Eastern European countries along the border with Russia into full combat-capable brigades.
00:19:52.380It was just a photo that really had, you know, no, no, no issues in regards to anti-gay or anti-this.
00:20:02.020It was just a T-shirt that somebody wore that a few people just don't agree with because, oh, my goodness, what's going on with the world today?
00:20:11.000Because there's so many hurt feelings out there.
00:20:13.500So I'll say again, what message does Daniel Smith straight pride photo send to Albertans?
00:20:18.520And most of the Albertans I know really don't care what you do.
00:20:22.940A controversial photo of Premier Daniel Smith posing with the man in a straight pride T-shirt at the Calgary Stampede this weekend is causing a stir.
00:20:30.060Smith's office released a statement Monday saying the Premier didn't read his shirt and obviously doesn't agree with his message.
00:24:39.040And if that gentleman might be rude or gruff, whatever, he's got a right to express himself, just like all the naked people did during the pride parades.
00:24:48.920And there's lots of pictures online there, ladies and gentlemen, for people to see of grown men walking around with the gay pride colors and wings, naked.
00:25:58.600But when it comes down to the brass tacks of it all, we all want the freedom just to do our own thing and not worry about what the government says, not worry about regulation, and definitely not worry about people's feelings.
00:26:33.100But the Canadian Taxpayers Federation weighed in on how many positions that the Trudeau government has put together, bureaucratic positions, since 2015.
00:26:43.020And the number, they figure, is 98,000 bureaucratic positions, all in the name of government.
00:26:52.580So when you listen to a lot of these lefties talk about, oh, there's no inflation.
00:26:58.880Bureaucratic jobs, jobs brought to you by the Canadian taxpayer, not by a private industry, not by a private company, but the Canadian taxpayer.
00:27:06.900So to all these harpies out there talking about how the inflation is just in our imagination, and we're doing really, really well, those individuals who have bureaucratic jobs are doing well, while people like you and me are struggling.
00:27:22.660Anyway, on that note, if you'd like to hear what you see, ladies and gentlemen, please click like and subscribe, share this content, all over your social media platform.
