old needless to say though it is quite concerning now you've heard me ramble on about how i don't
00:01:58.120
care who's gay i don't care who's straight you live your life you do what you want to do
00:02:02.380
as long as it's two consenting adults doing it and whatever i don't care i don't care if
00:02:08.000
bill and steve get busy i don't care if dame uh diane and edna get busy i don't care if they
00:02:13.440
do this or do that knock yourselves out do i want to watch not really do i really care to watch
00:02:19.120
not really is any of my business no it's not but there's a small town just uh 200 kilometers east
00:02:25.260
of kenora uh on the other side of uh on the west side of thunder bay there too a place called emo
00:02:31.280
ontario it has a town council of roughly five personnel and about 1300 people live there it's
00:02:37.440
on the minnesota border so basically you know you throw a stone across the river and you're in
00:02:41.880
minnesota so it's a border town if anything just a small canadian town no big deal no big difference
00:02:48.240
now there's articles here that have come from the sun cbc and a couple of uh uh independent
00:02:54.960
articles that have been written in this fiasco now what i have read back in uh june of 2020
00:03:00.280
town council of five men uh basie voted three against two in regards to putting a pride flag
00:03:07.120
up okay that's all it was just a pride flag nothing too big nothing too mischievous
00:03:14.860
they just chose not to put it up okay and now they get fined for it uh they got fined 10 000 bucks
00:03:23.680
as a council and the mayor uh mr mcquick and i think his name is if i'm not mistaken
00:03:28.980
needless to say it had to pay five thousand dollars uh he basically had his bank account
00:03:34.940
rated for it according to the human rights tribunal and the human rights commission whatever it's called
00:03:40.080
now too now there's some quirky little lawyer that represents the uh the borderland pride group
00:03:45.680
from that area okay now he's a skilled attorney apparently human rights advocate and probably
00:03:51.860
he's gay is whatever not that it fucking matters not that i really care i don't care who's gay or
00:03:56.940
straight or bi uh but apparently this mayor made a comment stating that well there was no straight
00:04:02.240
flag why should i put up a gay flag he's got a valid point okay now if anybody is listening to
00:04:09.880
this podcast who happens to be homosexual do you really find offense to that is your livelihood
00:04:15.040
and your lifestyle and your personal freedom and choices compromised because there's a small town in
00:04:20.720
the middle of nowhere that just doesn't want to put a flag up really does it really matter
00:04:26.320
does it really matter is your lifestyle and your freedom and your sensibility compromised because
00:04:32.720
there's a small town in canada that doesn't want to put a flag up okay now you've heard me ramble on
00:04:38.920
about my veteran status and where i've been and all this now look at this flag here okay there's pride in
00:04:44.800
this flag because i served under it and i still serve under it technically okay now does that mean
00:04:51.180
because a handful of homosexuals or gays or 2g lbt alphabet whatever individuals okay does that mean
00:05:01.580
that if they can have a month of june in some cases four months you know the whole summer to celebrate pride
00:05:07.880
okay does that mean myself as a veteran who served in a real war okay and i probably saw more hell than
00:05:16.060
half of you activists out there okay does that mean i could walk into any business i can walk in any
00:05:23.060
store any place of residence any municipal office and demand they put a poppy flag up to celebrate
00:05:30.800
my time as a soldier does that give you the right huh to honor my demands would that be fair of me to
00:05:42.460
walk into any any establishment and demand i be treated a certain way or to have a remembrance day
00:05:47.980
flag up or the canadian flag up right i'm going to present a couple articles here shortly there ladies
00:05:54.680
and gentlemen for your very pleasure submitted for your approval and you decide like i've said this
00:06:00.740
numerous times on the show before i am not anti-gay i am not anti-trans okay i'm anti-bullshit
00:06:07.440
if you're a functioning adult and you decide you want to change your appearance and turn into somebody
00:06:14.160
go ahead and do it okay if you're an adult and you're sane enough to understand the circumstances
00:06:20.700
of said decision i don't care if you're homosexual i don't care if you're bisexual it doesn't bother me
00:06:28.280
what you do in your bedroom as long as two consenting adults are enjoying each other's company
00:06:34.440
so be it but when you sit there and enforce the pride it's not just a matter of of being proud of
00:06:43.500
who you are it's now an ideology that you're forcing people to adapt to okay it is right
00:06:50.500
maybe like someone knocking on my door and someone saying crusty uh where's your pride flag it's june
00:06:56.040
we don't see a pride flag on your door we don't see a pride flag on your flagpole i don't need one
00:07:04.440
i can respect i can respect people's lifestyles without having to put up a flag to show any kind
00:07:10.860
of allyship or solidarity in the makeshift woke isms of this movement okay there's gay people in
00:07:18.140
my life that are really good people not because they're gay because they choose to be good people
00:07:23.060

00:13:37.520
on what they do in their bedroom but i will judge these individuals that take it upon themselves to
00:13:43.800
cry bully and extort people on a regular basis okay so here's the national post a little blurb there
00:13:52.480
from youtube i'll leave this link in my description that for you too ladies and gentlemen where you can
00:13:56.540
decide and i'll leave the captions on too if you have trouble hearing so there you go
00:14:01.340
can now be fined up to ten thousand dollars for failing to celebrate pride month at least in some
00:14:07.520
circumstances meet emo ontario a community of about 1300 located right on the minnesota border
00:14:13.780
in may 2020 emo's five member town council received this a draft pride month proclamation from the group
00:14:21.460
borderland pride an accompanying letter asked the township to proclaim it as their own and also to
00:14:27.560
fly a rainbow flag on a week of their choosing this is despite the fact that emo doesn't have a flagpole
00:14:33.420
anyways the proclamation came up for a vote at emo's next council meeting and it lost by a vote of three
00:14:39.620
to two during deliberations emo mayor harold mcquaker said there's no flag being flown for the other side
00:14:45.760
of the coin there's no flags being flown for the straight people well technically there's no flags
00:14:50.920
being flown for anyone since there's no flagpole but the human rights tribunal of ontario ruled that
00:14:56.740
you can't do that they ruled that the mayor's comment was discriminatory and thus that the whole vote was
00:15:02.680
discriminatory and so they levied a ten thousand dollar fine against the town a five thousand dollar
00:15:08.180
fine against the mayor personally and mandated mandatory human rights training and that fifteen thousand
00:15:14.060
dollars all goes to borderland pride who brought the complaint and borderland pride has been quite
00:15:20.220
open about their intention to continue pursuing financial penalties of this nature in fact they
00:15:26.380
just received another award of thirty five thousand dollars in small claims court against an area man who
00:15:31.660
wrote a facebook post saying that one of their all ages drag shows was a pedophile show as director
00:15:37.620
jouglas judson told local media i'm going to start taking people's houses and their vehicles and their
00:15:43.060
toys and draining their bank accounts and garnishing their wages because no one is going to stop behaving
00:15:50.920
ah i see so more or less you better walk the line do we say your world yes you better do this
00:16:03.320
it'll take your house take your car if you don't put the flag up for us
00:16:06.500
what's that sound like ladies and gentlemen does that sound the whole mccarthyism that if you have
00:16:12.340
any kind of sympathy for this side or any kind of understanding of a certain side we'll fire your ass
00:16:18.240
we'll take your property we'll blacklist you it's no different so dougie judson dougie judson hello
00:16:25.680
little man hello little man give me a call how about you threaten to take my house can you do that
00:16:32.240
no are your rights being compromised because i disagree with your bullshit because i disagree
00:16:38.920
with your behavior i don't care who you love buds i i don't care my lifestyle is not compromised
00:16:46.160
because you sleep with this person or your friends sleep with those people or this person or that
00:16:51.760
person or a group of people i don't care okay you want to take my house you want to take my property
00:16:57.980
because you don't like my words that's really unbecoming of a lawyer because lawyers like to
00:17:03.700
use words to manipulate to to win cases do they not whether it's a property case whether it's a human
00:17:09.920
rights case but of course you're a human rights loyal lawyer so you're no better than the ambulance
00:17:15.060
chasers of the 1980s and 90s okay you're no better okay how about you give me a call when you see a real
00:17:23.260
human rights violation i've seen a few of them and it had nothing to do with their sexuality
00:17:29.260
had more to do with their religion had more to do with their gender
00:17:33.280
okay and maybe i'll save those stories for another episode but what gets me is that little dougie there
00:17:41.820

00:19:08.720
um i don't tolerate people disenfranchising anyone who is homosexual or straight or bi i don't care
00:19:17.320
i don't give anybody the heed i don't give them any kind of audience whatsoever if you don't like
00:19:24.200
someone just because their sexuality that problem's on you okay i haven't gone on my way to condemn
00:19:30.260
anybody who was or who is okay but when you when you read stories like that and see stories like
00:19:37.220
that it makes you think it makes you wonder who's calling the shots here okay who's calling the shots
00:19:45.220
what what what pain did these individuals go through what kind of pain and strife
00:19:50.920
just because they won't put a flag up okay like i said how many businesses during remembrance day
00:19:58.860
always honor and cater veterans there's quite a few out there to do but let's say i walk into a
00:20:04.580
business and uh they're not displaying a poppy flag or have poppies on display at their till
00:20:11.380
would it be my human right should i call the alberta human rights people and say uh this business
00:20:19.800
did not display poppies properly and i'm offended and i felt my rights were being compromised
00:20:25.480
how dare they nine times out of ten i hope they'd say get a life pal really get a life get a clue
00:20:35.960
come back to us when you see a real human rights problem a real human rights violation
00:20:40.840
okay that's what happens when you have too many activists that are in law too many activists that
00:20:47.860
are in the bureaucracy of things okay too many activists calling the shots for me you uh your
00:20:53.080
neighbor your friends your your loved ones all that good stuff so i'm just i just i think of that
00:21:02.100
little weasel of a man sitting there and dictating terms to people okay the invitation's out there
00:21:07.780
little dougie get a hold of me email will be in my description let me know what's on your mind
00:21:12.960
buckeye we'll have a little chat okay and chances are if you lose the debate that's that's assuming if
00:21:20.320
you have the actual balls to go through with it okay are you gonna have me charged have me fined
00:21:27.100
because you're offended hey all the people out there that get offended over conversations like this
00:21:34.800
it's on you it's not on me not on your parents not your guardians not on your teachers it's on you
00:21:45.140
we live in a day and age now we're sitting on the edge of probably the third world war
00:21:51.700
or an economic downfall of some sort and not because of our friends in the states or because
00:21:57.000
of donald trump because of little worms little bureaucrats little codlings you know little
00:22:04.400
babies of adults that are calling the shots here okay we see politicians uh borrowing more money and
00:22:14.080
we end up paying for it we see more politicians bureaucrats telling us to pay more to them for
00:22:19.560
whatever greater good they're projecting and we get it up the chuff and we're seeing little
00:22:24.400
administrators little activists little attorneys and little bureaucrats dictating what kind of flag
00:22:29.760
we should put up there too and it's a wonder we don't have a giant implosion just yet because of
00:22:34.940
the idiocy that's presented to us on a daily basis dressed up and called leadership i don't think
00:22:41.740
these individuals could lead a shit to a toilet you know or a wet lunch through a wet paper bag
00:22:47.460
that's just me though ladies and gentlemen tell me what you think i'm just
00:22:52.580
we are really living in trying times here but we're also living in a time where we can see the
00:23:01.640
light in this manufactured darkness so it's up to us to slash and slash and slash and slay the
