00:00:00.000
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. It is a beautiful 23rd of June 2020. Coming up on this episode
00:00:08.440
of the Krusty Connect podcast, I'll be discussing the erasing of our history and then a little
00:00:13.440
bit more hate mail. Oh, yeah. All that and more come at the podcast. Stay tuned.
00:00:21.800
Sweetheart, because I am hard, you will not like me.
00:00:30.000
There is no racial bigotry here. There you are. Oh, it's what we were.
00:00:38.620
This podcast is brought to you by the Rampage Coffee Company. Strong, rich, and smooth.
00:00:44.400
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's the 23rd of June 2020. And of course, more headlines in the news
00:00:49.780
today is toppling down statues, getting rid of old war monuments in Canada and the United States,
00:00:55.560
respectively, and what a shitshow it's promoting. Now, you've heard me ramble on about Canadian
00:01:01.340
history. It's not perfect. Never was. History has never been perfect. We understand that concept.
00:01:08.140
We understand that logic. Yes, the ancient Roman Empire was horrendous. The Mongolian Empire was
00:01:13.280
horrendous. The ancient Greeks did some horrendous things. The Mesopotamians did horrendous things.
00:01:18.060
Not to mention what the Zulus did prior to European involvement. What the Aztecs did to each other.
00:01:25.120
What the mines did to each other. What the Cherokee did. What the Sioux did. What the Shawnee did.
00:01:30.360
What the Iroquois. Blah, blah. The list goes on. The world has had a history of hostile takeovers one
00:01:37.160
way or the other. Continents have been divided and conquered. Lands bought and sold back and forth,
00:01:42.620
back and forth, prior to any kind of North American existence, prior to any South American existence as
00:01:48.780
we see it. And yet, there's still people out there that want to take down a statue because,
00:01:54.160
oh, they're offended. Oh my goodness. This man was such a monster back in the 1860s. Or this man was such a
00:02:01.780
critical criminal back at this time. Oh my goodness. You name me a politician in the 1860s
00:02:08.900
in North America as we knew it that was an all-around general nice guy who understood feelings and safe
00:02:15.100
spaces. No, I'll wait. You can tell me. Of course not. Of course not. I was actually in a podcast
00:02:22.940
yesterday with Fred Stockman and we were talking about history in both of our countries, especially
00:02:27.320
when it comes to the United States Civil War. Now, my personal feeling, okay, now you don't have to agree
00:02:32.380
with me. That's the joy about this podcast. You don't have to agree with everything I say.
00:02:36.440
And I'll be getting to more of that later. But when I look at this Civil War conflict, what we studied
00:02:41.960
in school with the issue of slavery or the economy, there was an identity crisis, of course. The South
00:02:50.600
wanted this. The North wanted that. They wanted to keep the union together. To sum it all up, yeah,
00:02:54.440
there were generals on both sides that did great things and not so great things, okay? Now, I've
00:03:01.080
debated with my buddy Fred Stockman there in regards to Southern generals. I don't agree with the
00:03:05.820
Southern doctrine. I didn't agree with Jefferson Davis. However, he was a notable figure in history
00:03:11.140
of that time and still to this day. But getting rid of all these statues, getting rid of all these
00:03:18.000
monuments in the name of so-called progress to me is a slap in the face to the people that endured
00:03:23.660
and suffered and made a difference during those troubling fucking times. Now, I'm not saying erect a
00:03:32.560
monument to Hitler or am I saying erect a monument to Benito Mussolini or erect a monument in Toronto
00:03:40.540
of Vladimir Lenin or of Trotsky. But it's still history. Can't burn all the books, ladies and
00:03:49.500
gentlemen. You can't burn all the fucking pamphlets. You can't burn all the drawings and the art,
00:03:53.400
right? Just because you're offended, right? So John A. Macdonald, yeah, was a raging alcoholic.
00:04:00.380
He was also a bigot. He was a racist. He was also a fucking womanizer too. So I'm surprised all the
00:04:05.260
feminazis aren't there out there giving him a hard time for being a misogynist, right? But I'll leave a
00:04:11.920
link in the description from Rebel Media. David Menzies, Menzoid Menzies, the reporter for Rebel and
00:04:18.360
the Sun Media. The way he was treated by some of these young little fucking pukes and a few feminists
00:04:24.240
at this so-called little rally in Kingston where they wanted to throw eggs at Sir John A. Fine,
00:04:29.220
go ahead and throw eggs at it. You know, I believe in freedom of assembly, freedom of association,
00:04:34.640
the whole libertarian doctrine. But just some of the garbage they were spewing at him,
00:04:41.340
it was just really incredible. You know, they're there with glasses and masks on their face to hide
00:04:46.880
their identity. And yet they want to throw eggs and shit and destroy a monument. Oh, he was racist.
00:04:52.300
Oh, you're being racist. Like you hear that word all the time. It is really starting to lose its
00:04:56.580
fucking meaning now. Because the moment you don't fucking follow the so-called left side spectrum
00:05:01.820
of the way you should think, you're automatically deemed a racist or a Nazi or a fascist, blah, blah,
00:05:06.240
blah, blah. It's like, hello, lefties. Can you not fucking think for yourselves?
00:05:10.300
I remember when the left side of the spectrum actually had open ideas and actually had places
00:05:18.100
where you can go and sit and have a coffee or a beer and smoke a cigarette or smoke a joint and
00:05:22.640
fucking really enjoy each other's company without worrying about how you vote in the next federal
00:05:27.620
election or what you agreed with or how you looked at warfare. Okay. And I want to tell some of
00:05:33.180
these aficionados and these so-called experts when it comes to fucking defacing our history,
00:05:38.220
what is it based on other than your personal feeling? Or is it your personal feeling that
00:05:44.340
you want to get rid of these statues and get rid of these works of art and ban certain books
00:05:48.620
like To Kill a Mockingbird? That was mandatory reading for me in high school. And that story
00:05:55.340
was an incredible story because it expressed basic fucking tolerance and understanding. Don't
00:06:02.160
judge a black man because he was seen doing something, even though the story proved that he
00:06:06.900
was innocent. Right? Don't believe every little ghost story because Boo Radley becomes a real
00:06:12.600
fucking weirdo or is the town weirdo. You know what I mean? How do you ever take from it? It was
00:06:19.080
basically summed up about tolerance and acceptance for all of our people. All people. All colors. All
00:06:25.380
creed. It is right fucking there in black and white on the pages. But no, no. People don't want to see it
00:06:30.920
that way. They want to further this narrative. Oh, history has taught us this. Oh, yes. Let's smash
00:06:35.880
and destroy it. Let's smash and destroy everything. Didn't George Orwell predict this when he wrote
00:06:42.340
that book in 1984? Did he not? Did he not? And I quote,
00:06:50.840
every record has been destroyed or falsified. Every book rewritten. Every picture has been repainted.
00:06:59.760
Every statue and street building has been renamed. Every date has been altered and the process is
00:07:05.500
continuing day by day and minute by minute. History is stopped. Nothing exists except an endless
00:07:11.160
present in which the party is always right. And if all others accepted the lie which the party imposed,
00:07:18.180
if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history has become truth. Who controls
00:07:24.640
the past ran the party slogan? Controls the future. Who controls the present? Controls the past.
00:07:31.700
Interesting, eh? You know, all these little groups who are talking about marginalization and talking
00:07:37.440
about racism and rampant misogyny and rampant unfairness and inequality are promoting the rampant
00:07:43.880
misogyny. They're promoting the rampant misogyny. They're promoting the rampant, let's smash things
00:07:51.000
because we don't like it anymore. Let's smash statues to remind us of the past and get rid of it.
00:07:56.660
Let's keep all statues up to remind us of the good and the bad that we all did. Okay? Let us remind
00:08:05.760
ourselves about some of the things we shouldn't do again, i.e. put people into educational institutions
00:08:12.400
for the sake of assimilation. Put people in religious-sponsored programs that deny them their
00:08:18.460
right, that deny them their languages and cultures. Let's not ever fucking do that again, ladies and
00:08:24.240
gentlemen. That is a good reminder. Okay? I don't care what city you live in or what town you live in
00:08:33.740
or what county or who you represent or how you identify. You smash history.
00:08:43.580
All right? Didn't the Nazis do that in the 1930s? Burn all these books. Let's burn all this artwork.
00:08:52.300
Let's condemn one section of people for everything, for all of our crisis in this world. And yet,
00:08:57.460
what are we doing right now? Let's get rid of history and still blame Whitey for all our problems.
00:09:02.080
Really? I'm responsible for your strife? How are you oppressed because you have to see a statue in a
00:09:09.500
public park? How are you oppressed if you see a book in a bookstore you don't like? Or in a library?
00:09:17.580
Assuming that you still go to a library rather than get your information from, you know, what Google
00:09:22.100
will allow you to say or not say? Or what your professors say? Or what your girlfriends say? Or
00:09:27.260
what your simp boyfriend tells you to believe in? Right? Whatever happened to common sense?
00:09:34.560
There are a lot of great things in all of our histories. In Canadian history, American history,
00:09:39.780
British history, African history. And if you're going to keep throwing the label, colonialism,
00:09:44.700
colonialism, colonialism. Oh my God, this is a colonialist idea. What's in your fucking wallet?
00:09:51.600
Right? I'll leave a link to a young man who put a video up about two years ago who really sums it up.
00:09:57.940
And he comes from a very, very diverse background in regards to Canadian history. And I highly suggest
00:10:04.740
you watch his video in its entirety because it really makes a lot of sense. He was very calm,
00:10:09.020
cool, and collected. Very factual, very sensible, and a well-spoken individual. And I'll leave a link
00:10:13.880
in the description about that. But what have we come to when it comes to defacing our history?
00:10:21.500
Yeah, let's throw pink paint and deface every Sir John A. Macdonald monument. Then what? Are you going to
00:10:26.600
start defacing Louis Riel's monuments too? He was a man that stood up for what he believed in. Now I've
00:10:31.740
actually had offline debates with people in regards to Louis Riel. And we didn't really dwell on him too
00:10:36.880
much in high school history. But what we got out of it was the fact that he had his beliefs and he
00:10:43.000
stood for what was right for the Métis people. And it was not that all indifferent than standing up for
00:10:50.320
human rights and quality of life. So regardless of what you agreed with at that time in the 1880s,
00:10:56.600
there was not fairness and equality. We all knew that. And it wasn't just a race thing too. It was
00:11:00.880
also a social thing. There wasn't fairness and equality between Protestants and Catholics.
00:11:04.820
There wasn't fairness and equality between farmers and town folk. So there was prejudice on every
00:11:11.800
aspect of their lives at that time. And life was hard. You didn't plant your crops. You didn't harvest.
00:11:17.740
Guess what? You didn't fucking eat. There was no welfare programs, no social programs,
00:11:22.300
no student loan programs, right? If you went to post-secondary education, if it was available,
00:11:30.440
you were considered fucking the elite at that time. You had money. You inherited wealth somewhere.
00:11:37.540
So to the fucking university kids out there that bitch and moan, bitch and moan about how terrible
00:11:43.000
their lives are, you think about those individuals who had the fucking smarts and had the grades in those
00:11:48.760
days, but couldn't get to school because of social status, not color, not religion, because of class
00:11:57.860
systems, right? Put that in perspective. They didn't teach you that, did they? Right? Yeah.
00:12:06.420
Humility is what's lacked. Fucking humility at one time. Anyway, here's a word from my sponsor.

00:13:24.020
my brain is getting jumbled here. I've got those information coming left and right. When you look at
00:13:27.600
our history in Canada, it's not as glorious and as commercially bloody as what some of the American
00:13:35.000
history was. We didn't have a giant revolution like our American friends did. We basically sat
00:13:42.580
around and did our thing. You know, there were lots of relations between all peoples. There were
00:13:47.900
good people that came from France and Britain alike that maintained a friendship and maintained
00:13:55.140
a good community response with the First Nations. It wasn't until the church was involved and it
00:14:02.360
wasn't until other bigger governments were involved. And I hate to say it, a lot of the monarchy,
00:14:07.020
but when I look at our history, the monarchy was not perfect. The British Empire was not perfect.
00:14:12.400
The French Empire was not perfect. The Spanish Empire was not perfect. Right? But if it wasn't for
00:14:17.740
the influences that we had from England and from France alike, where do you honestly think North
00:14:23.740
America would be? Okay? You want to keep throwing history out and deface it because you have some
00:14:31.000
other ulterior motive or because your feelings are fucking hurt and you cannot possibly function
00:14:36.120
throughout your day because you knew somebody did something bad in the 1860s or the 1910s or the 1920s
00:14:43.680
and you just possibly can't cope with this. Oh my goodness. Then you've got the problem.
00:14:50.400
Not history. Not people that enjoy it and people that learn from it. Okay? So I ask you again,
00:14:58.220
where do you think we would be if it wasn't for Britain and France influencing Canada the way it has?
00:15:04.760
Where do you honestly think we would be? What would Canada be? Would it be another country?
00:15:12.080
Would it be under a different name? Would it have a different influence? Would we have been conquered by
00:15:17.800
the Spanish? The Dutch? The Belgians? Right? Would it be a different monarchy? Would there be a
00:15:27.340
different system that it would oppress mass upon mass? Who knows? Right? I'm going to leave a link
00:15:36.480
to the Canadian encyclopedia there. I read an interesting story about Joseph Brant, hence the
00:15:41.420
term Brantford, Ontario. He was a First Nations member that helped the British out during the American
00:15:47.280
Revolution and did his part for what he believed was right and yet he got royally screwed by the British
00:15:53.980
British. Just like Tecumseh did and a lot of notable leaders during that time in North American
00:16:00.520
history. So are you going to tear down their statues too? Right? Are you going to be offended the fact
00:16:08.320
that Joseph Brant had slaves? Hmm? You're going to tear down his statue as well? Are you going to destroy
00:16:16.180
the town of Brantford because you don't like their name? Right? And this is what gets me too.
00:16:22.000
I read briefly an article about Yale University. You know, Mr. Yale was quite the exporter and
00:16:32.440
importer of slaves himself. Yet Yale is one of the most notable universities on the planet next to
00:16:37.100
Oxford and Cambridge, right? Because of its prestige and its level of education it's given thousands
00:16:43.640
upon thousands since its inception. You're going to destroy that too? Every time you see a name on a
00:16:50.720
building and a statue or a book that you don't like, you're going to have that book burned?
00:16:56.480
That statue removed? The name of a school removed too? Hmm? Ask yourself this question and then when
00:17:05.380
you do that, what are the repercussions thereafter? Think about it, ladies and gentlemen. Tell me what
00:17:13.780
you think. KrustyBCanuck67 at gmail.com or you can find me at Twitter or you can find me here in the

00:17:29.260
be shy. Tell me what you think. I'd like to know. You know, reach me on Facebook. You can reach me on
00:17:34.900
Instagram. All in the same name, Krusty Canuck. And if you get it a chance, please sign up with
00:17:39.760
Canun Video and Canun.com. They are a relatively newer platform out there. A safe alternative to
00:17:46.540
Facebook. They don't censor anything. And they let you speak your mind. Provide that you're not being
00:17:51.800
a vulgar prick or a racist douchebag. You can speak what you want and say what you want. Right?
00:17:57.720
No censorship. No BS. No conduct. Just be a good person. But speak your mind. Canun.com. I'll
00:18:04.980
leave the link in my description. Anyhow, carrying on with this whole racing the history. We've all
00:18:10.840
seen it in history. You know, like I said earlier, the Nazis destroying books. Benito's fascist
00:18:16.020
destroying books and harassing students. Right? McCarthyism. Censoring people. Swaying them from
00:18:23.580
the whole communist fear. The witch hunt. Right? I remember seeing bands being censored
00:18:30.700
and being ridiculed because of their so-called darkness undertones. You know, the satanic panic
00:18:37.260
of the 1980s. And how many people then try to erase history and censor things? Now, the past 30 years,
00:18:45.680
you haven't seen as much. There wasn't much in the 90s. There was more gay rights coming out,
00:18:50.220
which was fantastic. More people speaking their minds when it comes to gay marriages and relationships
00:18:54.940
and benefits and all. Great. I'm happy for that. Right? But then to turn around and try to censor
00:19:01.820
history because one man deemed to be homophobic or one man didn't like homosexuals, that doesn't mean
00:19:08.620
you can annihilate his existence. Che Guevara was not nice to homosexuals. He was not nice to minorities,
00:19:15.600
but yet he's held it as a hero. You're going to burn his t-shirts and his books too?
00:19:21.200
No, because you can find access to his writings and his sayings all the time. Right?
00:19:27.560
Should be a personal choice. You make the choice. If you want to read it, read it. If you don't,
00:19:31.020
you don't have to. It doesn't matter what it is. That's everything from the Bible to
00:19:34.400
Farmer's Almanacs to every book out there to your liking.
00:19:38.800
But to sit there and to rally in any kind of public park or any kind of public office or any
00:19:46.520
kind of display and sit there and throw eggs and try to smash and destroy statues because you're
00:19:51.820
doing this name equality. How are you promoting equality? How are you promoting fairness and the
00:19:57.520
big magic word inclusion when you're destroying monuments of history?
00:20:18.200
Now, turn on the television, open up a paper. There's always somebody whining about a statue
00:20:22.460
or whining about a novel or whining about this broadcaster or whining about this podcaster or
00:20:27.380
whining about that guy or this girl or this individual who said these heinous words. Oh my goodness.
00:20:33.540
Like I've said before numerous times, whatever happened to bloody resilience?
00:20:38.860
Whatever happened to the opportunity, we can sit in a classroom and actually question the
00:20:42.240
professor on certain ethics or question the instructor on certain tactics.
00:20:50.300
Can't do that anymore, right? No, you got to spend $50,000 or more to get yourself a good degree
00:20:54.800
and walk the line to get yourself that perfect job. And then when you can't get that perfect job,
00:20:58.920
oh, oh my God, it's oppression. Oh, it's a history of oppression. No, it's your own personal damn
00:21:05.480
fucking choices. That's what it is. If you choose to destroy a monument, fine, you go ahead and destroy
00:21:13.600
it. There's going to be repercussions. It's going to add to this chance and that chance. And then all
00:21:20.020
of a sudden you're going to have more and more people en masse destroying monuments, destroying
00:21:23.100
buildings. For what? Equality? Or chaos? Think about it.
00:21:32.700
I look at our history. It's not a great history, but it's a good history. It's a good history that
00:21:43.160
we can look up First Nations. It's a good history. You can look up other immigrants that come to
00:21:47.620
Canada, Ukrainian Canadians, you know, the Mennonite Canadians, Irish Canadians, Scottish Canadians,
00:21:55.160
French, English, Polish, Russian, all walks of life coming to Canada for a better life.
00:22:04.400
That is my idea of democracy. That is my idea of freedom to go to a place to do what you think you
00:22:10.000
want to do in, of course, regards the law. Don't hit people, take their stuff and to prosper. But no,
00:22:16.360
we can't prosper anymore because there's a handful of people that feel shame because they're told to
00:22:21.560
feel shame, destroying property. Why? What are you trying to fucking prove? And then while you're
00:22:30.040
destroying property, you got your eyes covered and your face sealed. So you're not being transparent.
00:22:36.940
It's cowardly, ladies and gentlemen. It's cowardly. It's childish. And it just goes to prove that a lot
00:22:45.000
of those kids have yet to have a real good fucking spanking, right?
00:22:51.880
Anyway, tell me what you think. KrustyBKanuck67 at gmail.com or on the Facebook under Krusty Kanuck
00:22:58.120
and on the Instagram at Krusty Kanuck. You can find me on Twitter too. I'll leave all the links in the
00:23:02.840
description and with all the other references for this week's episode. You know, you decide.
00:23:10.360
When I looked at Canadian history, I was excited to learn as a kid and I was excited to learn in high
00:23:15.740
school too. How things were formed. What was going on in the States compared to what was going on in
00:23:20.840
Canada at the time. What was going on in Europe based on what was going on in Canada at the time.
00:23:24.280
And a lot of it was theory because not everybody's alive from that time. So we were going off of what
00:23:30.580
was recorded and what was presented to the public. We can't erase history, folks. We can't deny things
00:23:35.960
happened. We can't deny the fact that there were people that did rotten things. And it doesn't
00:23:40.940
matter what color they were, right? Like I said before, every continent, every country, every piece
00:23:46.840
of land has been conquered and divided and bought and sold. How many fucking times now? What's Canada
00:23:51.900
going to be in 300 years? Will there be a Canada? We don't know. Can we predict it? 300 years ago,
00:23:57.880
did they predict what Canada is going to be today? No, of course not. We don't have that insight.
00:24:04.600
We don't have that intellect. We don't have that capacity as a species yet, but why get rid of the
00:24:12.100
past? Why are you sitting there destroying things? Why? What are you trying to prove? Oh, I don't like
00:24:23.900
what this person has to say. So I'm going to turn around and have them fucking canceled. Yeah, that's
00:24:28.840
that's real. That's really progressive, you know, and then to sit there and cater to the masses and
00:24:33.740
told that you have to be shamed because of the color of your skin. Gee, that's really,
00:24:38.280
really progressive now, isn't it? That's no better than the Jim Crow fucking shitheads back in the
00:24:42.800
fifties. And that's definitely no better than the slave traders back in the day either.
00:24:48.440
To shame yourself for what? I wasn't there. You weren't there.
00:24:52.580
And then to sit there and destroy books and deny access to information because, oh, well, you know,
00:25:03.280
I disagree with what this man did. Okay, that's fine. I disagree with half of Sir Johnny's actions
00:25:08.160
too, but he also created Canada and he also put in a railroad that united us from coast to coast.
00:25:14.640
So he wouldn't get fucked with, with imperial powers of those days. So there was a tactical
00:25:21.160
strategy towards what his decisions were based on. Right? So however you feel about the man doesn't
00:25:29.260
justify taking down statues because people might be offended. If you want to be unique and equal,
00:25:35.760
fine. Put a statue of Sir Johnny up and then put a statue of the local chief.
00:25:39.440
Put a statue up of a historical chief. Put a statue up of a black person that contributed to society.
00:25:46.080
Put a statue up of any other immigrant that contributed to Canada, as we see. There's lots
00:25:51.720
of them out there. Lots of historical figures that created and done wonderful things.
00:25:58.620
Here's her historical figure. Frederick Banting created insulin. Yeah, he was white,
00:26:03.960
but he created insulin. Diabetics around the world can thank him.
00:26:09.440
And he was a Canadian. Oh, shit. Go figure. Right?
00:26:17.080
Lots of historical figures in our country and we should start celebrating every one of them to
00:26:20.640
the best of our ability, regardless of subtle actions. To my British friends who enjoy Winston
00:26:27.440
Churchill. Yeah, he had some imperfect things, but he was the leader of the, one of the allied armies
00:26:34.520
during World War II that greatly assisted in stopping the onslaught of the fucking Nazi machine.
00:26:41.220
And he could have stood by and stopped the onslaught of Stalin's machine too.
00:26:46.040
Right? Mackenzie King was our prime minister during World War II. Yeah. He was a liberal.
00:26:55.380
Maybe some of our liberal party members can fucking, uh, take a cue from him when it comes to getting
00:27:00.480
things done. Right? He wasn't perfect either. But, uh, no, we had troops. We had men and women that
00:27:08.240
kicked ass and took names during those years. So, and now, ladies and gentlemen, I have been Krusty
00:27:14.100
Canuck on this beautiful 23rd of June. Yes, the sun is shining. It is a nice day outside. I'm gonna go do
00:27:20.420
some more yard work and, uh, touch up the deck a bit. Anyway, if you like what you hear and see,

00:27:48.480
of that to the Veterans Association Food Bank outside or in Calgary. Uh, they're a great pillar of the
00:27:54.860
community. They look after veterans. They provide food, uh, possible employment. They also look after,
00:28:01.220
uh, disabled veterans. They assist in, uh, wheelchair access. They shovel snow. They really
00:28:07.260
help the people out. Um, they're good pillars of the community. So, uh, check out Veterans
00:28:11.920
Association in Canada there in Calgary. And if you'd like, you can give them a $25 donation
00:28:16.800
and they will mail you a receipt for your taxes for next fiscal year. So they're good people. I've
00:28:22.180
talked to them personally and they're well-rounded individuals and they really look after veterans.
00:28:25.540
So that's the charity of my choice there. Like I said, ladies and gentlemen, I have been
00:28:29.140
Krusty Canuck on this beautiful 23rd of June, 2020. And like I always say, you know, be real,
00:28:36.060
be honest and, uh, take care of yourselves and your loved ones. And remember humanity and merit
00:28:44.280
wins the day. Take care. We'll see you next time. Bye for now.
00:28:51.820
Sweetheart. Because I am hard. You will not like me.
