a beautiful communist uh news link in our country called that they may say and see what they have
00:02:50.920
to say about this too and when you look at certain individuals that have been uh given positions and
00:02:55.940
taken out of certain positions uh we could speculate that certain individuals were probably let go for a
00:03:02.580
very good reason because they're incompetent because they're idiots and they're just just not all too bright
00:03:08.320
you know what i mean just not that bright altogether so anyway i'll carry on here i'll add this link
00:03:13.120
from the cbc in regards to who will be calling the shots uh in certain key cabinet positions for the
00:03:21.740
remainder of our liberal government so we'll see how this works here too so i've got the position here
00:03:29.860
cue this up here i don't know it's just getting ridiculous how many people are coming and going in
00:03:36.480

00:03:43.060
key positions in our parliament in our government as we speak too so i'll just uh leave this link here
00:03:49.740

00:04:01.420
and i'll get to them as soon as possible enough of that stuff so here's the position now there's a
00:04:07.640
a little schematic here i'll leave this link in my description too who's new to cabinet the orange

00:04:48.820
to his cousin yeah no uh you know no conflict of interest there too minister of transport is no longer
00:04:55.640
it is now pablo rodriguez the man that promoted c18 c11 c36 more or less meaning he wanted to
00:05:04.620
censor us whatever what a putz minister of mental health and addictions it was carolyn bennett you
00:05:12.620
know the lady that promoted the safe use that encouraged people to take legal safe drugs is now
00:05:18.420
being looked after by yara sacks now we all remember yara sacks okay i did an episode of her last year
00:05:24.380
she sat in parliament saying that hong kong meant heil you know little man with mustache right right
00:05:32.980
saying that there's guns everywhere the riots were out of control and yet she is in charge of the
00:05:40.600

as he was the police chief talking about how they cracked down on some gang guns and it was his suggestion
00:07:07.660
prior to the oic in may of 2020 to crack down on private gun ownership and they used the nova
00:07:15.100

00:12:12.560
description for you as all to follow at your own leisure but that is the change around that is the
00:12:17.400
portfolios they're trying to promote just the canadian taxpayers too so when i look at that list
00:12:23.400
of individuals that are supposed to be qualified to do something spectacular and something innovative
00:12:28.780
we know it's a con ladies and gentlemen we know it's a con so are we really disappointed
00:12:34.420
are we really surprised that the new innovations that we have in this country government wow i tell
00:12:41.040
you my twitter feed is leading lighting up as we speak right now too because every comment that i see
00:12:47.320
the liberal party or any liberal cabinet member make in regards to uh the workers handout and the
00:12:53.380
grocery rebates they keep saying i counterpoint that with simple facts it's like you're giving back
00:12:58.740
money to canadians that they already have earned right so you're taking out of our pockets and
00:13:03.280
you're giving us pennies back that's what it is so this shuffle is nothing more than just smoke and

00:16:03.580
look forward to a new cabinet shuffle you kind of look forward to an election but in the same sense
00:16:07.960
can we afford another election right now now i know i said my last uh tuesday rant uh it was
00:16:13.000
economically sound what i meant to say was it's economically unsound emphasis on those two letters

unfound so my apologies for any kind of confusion there too and uh if you have any additional

00:16:37.280
justice warrior card on me we'll debate and guess who will come out and talk say moi aussi there you go
00:16:44.220
anyway carrying on with this episode now when i look at this uh this shuffle i i think it's just
00:16:50.780
just a play on words and a play on positions okay because when i look at every minister of national
00:16:55.520
offense we've had since 2015 and i i'm showing a bias here because i'm ex-military i served i did my
00:17:03.980
thing i worked for some good people and i worked for some not so good people i did good things there's
00:17:11.320
times i fucked up and i owned it but in the same sense i still left the military with some dignity
00:17:17.080
and some pride and respect for myself and for my fellow brethren what i don't respect is the
00:17:23.380
leadership that's being presented to us today the leadership has been presented to us i would say in
00:17:29.080
the better part of seven years and i'm not just talking about the um the liberal bs and how they treat
00:17:36.300
the portfolio i'm talking about how they treat the men and women that want to live and serve this
00:17:42.880
country and those individuals that would take a bullet in a fucking heartbeat you're looking at
00:17:47.820
one okay in regards of the problems i have had in regards of the conclusions i came to and the
00:17:54.820
ailments i have overcome and some of the demons i have slayed and some of the demons that still linger
00:17:59.780
on occasion and say hello i'm still here and i'm still proud to say that i served but i'm not proud
00:18:07.640
to say that we have a military right now that's not doing so well and that's not because of the men and
00:18:13.660
women in uniform that's because of some of the senior brass and the politicians that are calling the shots
00:18:19.180
so put that in your pipe and smoke it and take it for what it is okay there are too many individuals
00:18:28.920
and so-called know-it-alls that think they know what's fucking best for you the troops and what the
00:18:35.700
rest of the civilian population procurement in this country is a joke why because they can't slap and
00:18:41.200
tickle each other enough to understand reality okay and i've actually heard some politicians say
00:18:47.340
well my constituents don't want this and some constituents don't want that and my constituents
00:18:53.060
needed this and my constituents needed that and i'm thinking well i'm pretty sure the consensus with
00:18:58.160
most constituents even the ones i talked to when i was doing my campaign as a member of the veterans
00:19:04.940
coalition party they were all in agreement when it comes to upgrading our military okay upgrading i'm not
00:19:13.760
saying put in some new papers here and some new plumbing there and a few flashy haircuts here and a few woke
00:19:20.100
individuals here now they were talking about proper equipment proper procurement proper diplomacy and proper
00:19:27.200
values and defending this country as a whole not just defending someone's honor here and someone's honor
00:19:33.200
there right with our population now reading reaching 40 million people you would think the powers that be in
00:19:41.840
ottawa would generally get up the ante okay now a lot of people have praised miss anita arnand
00:19:49.720
for some of her work there's an article in the ottawa citizen that said she was trying her damnedest to
00:19:56.040
get this done get that done and the liberals just shoved her under the bus because the liberals have a
00:20:00.280
different mandate when it comes to our military well i don't believe the liberals and i don't believe miss
00:20:05.180
anand either okay because the first thing that she tried to do when she got to become the defense minister
00:20:13.120
was worry about the sexual harassment complaints that were going on now don't get me wrong here ladies and gentlemen
00:20:18.440
i don't tolerate that kind of behavior from any man or any woman in uniform
00:20:24.060
and those individuals that are responsible for some of the heinous acts that were committed
00:20:29.380
against some of our female and male personnel over the past 10 15 years deserve to be punished
00:20:36.420
to the highest regard of the law but you punish those individuals you don't punish the whole service
00:20:43.980
you don't punish the whole navy you don't punish the whole army and you definitely don't punish the
00:20:48.520
whole air force you punish those individuals that are responsible that's how it's done how many times
00:20:54.520
we've heard cases about certain rcmp officers doing this or certain toronto police officers doing that
00:20:59.380
or certain opp or security security de quebec doing this and doing that you punish all those police
00:21:06.380
services no you punish those people responsible okay so hats off to her for trying to get down to
00:21:15.100
the business to get this thing done but there was more problems at hand a hell of a lot more problems
00:21:21.580
at hand to worry about and her big claim to fame is what getting the f-35 jet oh that's great and
00:21:28.080
what when's the first one delivered to us it's going to happen what maybe 2025 2026 great so we have a
00:21:35.520
tiny military in such a tiny little budget yet we can give away billions in a freaking heartache
00:21:41.440
there's still controversy over the 93 billion dollars that katherine mckenna you know climate barbie
00:21:46.980
the former liberal mp the former ministry uh or uh minister of the environment okay gave away to
00:21:57.100
somebody or went missing she was in charge of infrastructure too i think her last term in in
00:22:01.800
government and all this money's gone missing interesting so there's still talk about that where did it go
00:22:10.220
what's happening so when you procure things for this country why is it so hard to upgrade our
00:22:17.380
military is there some kind of conspiracy is there some kind of uh unseen force calling it the shots
00:22:25.120
for us or is it just blatant fucking laziness right i think it's blatant laziness and i think it's
00:22:32.380
blatant disregard because there's a lot of people in this country still with the mentality where well
00:22:38.140
we're peacekeepers we don't need this oh we keep the peace we don't need equipment
00:22:43.820
bullshit in order to keep the peace you have to learn how to fight for it and in order to fight for
00:22:50.960
the peace you got to have the gear right so it's it's it's logical we don't have to have a big humongous
00:22:58.720
service like our friends down south but with what we have in regards to resources their freedoms we
00:23:06.620
hold dear and our land masses we deserve a better uh a better military okay and considering the amount
00:23:14.560
of taxes that the average can is paying for said government services you would think the government
00:23:21.400
would get a grip on that but i guess they haven't okay conservatives try to do a bit in the 80s didn't
00:23:28.040
really work out the harper conservatives try to do a bit around 2010 to 2014 didn't really work out
00:23:33.960
why is that and now when the liberals get a hold of everything cut cut cut cut spend spend spend spend
00:23:41.900
okay now there's a reason why our american friends are on our asses about this whole thing
00:23:47.220
for the simple reason is that they don't believe they should foot the bill for anybody and rightfully so
00:23:53.740
right we have to trust our allies as allies they're allies for a reason because
00:24:00.640
we probably think alike when it comes to democracy and freedoms we probably think alike when it comes
00:24:05.860
to personal liberties and we also think alike when it comes to defending this country we hear all these
00:24:11.200
yahoos and these wackos in parliament talk about defending our sovereignty and defending democracy and
00:24:16.920
freedom yet you don't want to defend canadian democracy and freedoms to you liberals out there it's a joke
00:24:24.760
right is this a joke is it do we have to be ashamed of it why because there's parts of our history that are
00:24:36.200
just terrible yeah there is parts of our history that's terrible there's also parts of our history that's
00:24:44.320
that's got to be defended but when i hear these these politicians talk and these so-called leaders
00:24:54.360
that know it all come up with these great ideas and yet nothing comes to fruition but there's more
00:25:00.020
billions being spent over here and over there and not here not here in this country why are you
00:25:07.780
pining for a seat in the un are you pining for some kind of world recognition we are a laughing
00:25:13.620
stock to our nato allies more so now than what we were in the 90s and that was the decade of darkness
00:25:20.480
and you talk to any man and any woman that served in the 1990s especially during the balkan conflicts
00:25:28.320
and you'll know big time you'll know big time why it was a decade of darkness not because of the
00:25:35.660
soldiers not because of what was going on in europe at that time what was going on in ottawa and with
00:25:41.960
senior leadership and they'll give you a better perspective big time right so this cabinet shuffle
00:25:49.120
this big big shuffle that's right episode 219 who cares yeah really who cares because again we have
00:25:56.280
more unqualified people calling the shots and i read to you about certain cabinet positions that
00:26:01.420
were just created and merged in the name of diversity and inclusion i believe in giving someone a job
00:26:10.060
that earns it not because they're this or because they're that or because they stick their face here
00:26:15.760
or stick their fingers there or stick their nose there it's because they have what it takes
00:26:20.500
regardless of color or creed or religious or political belief
00:26:25.660
or whatever language you speak that's the point that's the point of merit that's why my motto is
00:26:34.240
humanity and merit wins the day meaning you do your best to be good to people and you earn something
00:26:40.220
all those names that i read off yeah they were elected
00:26:44.260
but how much have they really earned ladies and gentlemen how much other than the base salary of
00:26:52.440
189 or 190 000 plus the ministerial uh perk i think is roughly about 240 or 260 a year
00:27:00.520
so it's quite a bit of money a quite a bit of money they get paid to sit there and smile look pretty
00:27:08.680
and saying we're fighting for the little guy here if you're fighting for a little guy you would
00:27:14.540
abolish the carbon tax you would abolish the following bills c11 c18 c36 c69 c48 c75 c21 c5
00:27:26.640
and whatever else is in the works behind our backs as i sit here and vent to all you wonderful people
00:27:35.000
to me canada is a place of liberty and we can do better in the name of liberty and democracy
00:27:43.340
i don't care what you believe in i don't care what you say i'll take voltaire's quote right here
00:27:50.120
i may disagree with what you're saying but i'll fight for your right to say it that's classical liberalism
00:27:55.940
right at its finest which is based on liberty right
00:28:02.320
basic liberty right i was looking at my paycheck there last week and i realized okay
00:28:12.060
yeah this is working out and i get to pay the debt that i owe my friends who gave me a hand which is
00:28:18.480
good and i still see some squanderings about student loans and oh how can i pay this back when i'm not
00:28:25.620
finding a job in my set profession and well you take a loan you pay it back and it doesn't matter if you
00:28:31.200
take underwater basket weaving or gender studies or a crt or fucking rocket science you borrow money
00:28:40.220
you put it back okay now there's a big strike going on in toronto uh the metro grocery uh food chain
00:28:47.400
uh there's i think 3700 workers that are on strike now and the majority of them are part-time workers
00:28:54.720
okay now i can understand helping the little guy out when you need to i can understand you protect
00:29:00.220
your workers no matter what union you're with when the workers are really being treated unfairly
00:29:04.900
okay but here's something to think about if you work a part-time job and you don't strive to get
00:29:13.840
into a full-time position or strive to do better with your life and that's not on the union or the
00:29:21.460
store you work for that's on you okay if you expect to make a killing part-time in a grocery
00:29:30.240
chain or any kind of agricultural chain or any kind of food service industry you're wasting our
00:29:36.900
fucking time and you're wasting your own too okay now i meant i'm kind of lucky to find the full-time
00:29:45.260
job that i have right and business is getting kind of slow right now so i'm at work i try to do things
00:29:52.120
to keep me busy for a good solid eight hours if i can
00:29:55.120
and the less i work the less i get paid it's that simple but i'm still on average making about 40 to
00:30:04.080
45 hours a week to the best of my ability now come the fall it'll probably go up to about 50 hours or
00:30:10.460
more a week based on cattle and based what i have to feed and all that good stuff and i've worked in
00:30:16.780
grocery chains before too and i know what it takes to keep a job in a grocery chain now whether corporate
00:30:24.920
says this or corporate says that yeah there are some record profits going on in there too but there's
00:30:30.100
also something called the carbon tax that is really sticking it up the chuffs of the canadian taxpayer
00:30:36.600
so the more we get rid of these taxes the more incentive that some of these companies might
00:30:44.520
have to give you a full-time job but here's a simple incentive okay if you're working part-time
00:30:51.860
in a deli counter or part-time at a produce section or part-time in grocery and you're sitting
00:30:59.020
there complaining because you're not making enough money get off your ass and find something else to do
00:31:06.600
it's that simple what else are you good at what else can you do soul search look at what you can
00:31:15.980
offer something what can you do to do better okay now there are greedy people out there and there
00:31:22.560
are greedy companies out there but in the same sense too look who's controlling the money in this
00:31:27.100
country look who's controlling the housing rates in this country look who's controlling the transportation
00:31:34.280
look who's controlling the taxes and the revenue you can blame this guy sure it's easy that way too
00:31:41.980
all these record profits but while you're complaining about these corporations and their record profits
00:31:46.660
how come you're not talking about the bank of canada and the record profits they had and the bonuses
00:31:50.940
they gave themselves in the past two years how come you're not complaining about your local mp
00:31:55.200
who gladly took a raise four times since covid started how about you not talking about your mpp
00:32:03.900
or mla that had a healthy raise how many times since 2020 puts things in perspective though ladies and
00:32:11.840
gentlemen i'm not dissing anybody who works for a living because i work for a living so does my wife
00:32:16.280
so does my family my father was a firefighter for a very long time for the better part of 31 years
00:32:22.340
and he still found work to do afterwards to keep the money going he was smart with his coin back in
00:32:28.520
the 70s and 80s so he knew what to do good for him but he still worked it's that simple and it
00:32:35.220
doesn't matter what profession you get into you as the individual doing the work you have to better
00:32:41.600
yourself it's not your boss it's not your wife or your husband or your boyfriend or wherever you call
00:32:46.900
a lover you got to make those decisions it's that simple right so yes strike if you're being treated
00:32:55.900
unfairly but if you expect glory and utopia for 16 bucks an hour part-time come on you probably got a
00:33:05.660
reality problem because really you know i i've done two part-time jobs when i left the service i was
00:33:12.020
working two part-time part-time jobs at once okay and it's difficult but it still work and it worked
00:33:19.920
out i still have money to pay my bills and some money to put in the bank prior to this inflation
00:33:25.740
and things were okay they weren't perfect but they're all right let's say again if you expect glory
00:33:32.540
out of working 20 hours a week or 25 hours a week you know and expect to put a down payment on that car
00:33:39.760
or put a down payment on that home if you can afford it
00:33:42.920
