A Canadian veteran s point of view on political, social, economic, and life issues. Episode 133: Look Ma, No masks. Justin Trudeau quarantined in a hotel. First Nations and survivors of residential schooling get $10 million from the Ontario government. Where's the Vatican?
00:01:45.760I wonder if he's going to take the quarantine that he ever so elegantly put it there a few months back in regards to keeping people locked up without the spread.
00:01:54.760Now, I wonder if he's going to have some staff members do it for him, maybe appoint a cabinet minister in the process of doing it.
00:02:03.100Is he going to have the same perks and privileges as the rest of Canada's international travelers have had?
00:02:07.900You know, being escorted out of the four key airports and put into a hotel room and given lackluster accommodations, lackluster food and treated like absolute garbage by some qualified and unqualified security guards.
00:02:27.540He'll find out his way to get out of it, of course.
00:02:29.160He'll probably go back to his cottage and have a nice Bordeaux and put his feet up and put on his favorite robe and talk about his feelings or something.
00:02:38.280Also, in news today, too, the Ontario government has awarded or giving $10 million to the First Nations and survivors of residential schooling in regards to investigating what happened.
00:02:50.920Now, personally, I think that's a good thing.
00:02:54.180I think all governments and all churches should take real consideration.
00:03:01.800In fact, beyond consideration, ladies and gentlemen, okay, beyond consideration in looking into this.
00:03:07.540Now, in regards to the 215 bodies, apparently the ground radar found in Kamloops, to another 106, I believe, that were found in Manitoba, okay, every residential school, as far as I'm concerned, should be investigated under the highest scrutiny of the law and to those who are responsible, okay?
00:03:25.520All those who are responsible for what happened at that time, it doesn't matter if it dates back to the 1860s or not, okay?
00:03:54.600Because the government likes to divide.
00:03:56.940Really, the government likes to divide.
00:03:58.920So, then another thing, too, it's like, you know, the Ontario government is going to pledge $10 million, but where's the Vatican involved in all this?
00:04:07.860Where's the Vatican and where's the Anglican Church for that matter, too, ladies and gentlemen?
00:04:22.260Now, there have been some bishops and some archdioceses who have weighed in and said some wonderful things, but I'd like to hear more of the Vatican.
00:04:29.600I'd like to hear more of what they have to say and what are they going to do about it, okay?
00:04:34.360And that's the thing, and I think the time is now to really get off our high horses and to really look at it for what it is.
00:04:47.180Now, I'm not going to sit here and toot the horn of virtue and jump on the bandwagon like some of our leaders have, okay?
00:04:52.780I'm not going to sit here and demand copious amounts of cash, but in the name of all Canadian people, we've got to look at this and look after it well and do what we can to make it right, okay?
00:05:08.260All this money has come and gone to the First Nations, and yet how much of it has really helped, okay?
00:05:15.580Where's the incentive for people to live freely, okay?
00:05:20.480I'd say abolish the Indian Act and abolish the whole thing and start treating people like people again.
00:05:28.260It's that bloody simple, but it just gets ridiculous after a while.
00:05:34.100Well, when you can't see here, here, all this stuff that's coming to surface and coming to conclusion, and we're not finding the truth.
00:05:44.400We're not finding the answers anymore.
00:05:46.720But like I said, like the title says, look, Ma, no mask, right?
00:05:49.560When you watch the G7 Summit and you watch all those leaders sit up there and talk about all these wonderful things about climate change and, you know, beautiful, fun things.
00:06:00.580There's a great magic utopia, we all know they're full of shit, okay?
00:08:41.760Is this saying I've heard lots since photos emerged of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taking his mask on and off like a costume last week at G7 Summit in the United Kingdom?
00:09:17.180But the photos didn't really show hypocrisy.
00:09:18.320They showed a typical day in the life of Canada's image-obsessed liberal government, which itself is part of a political culture that's thoroughly memmified.
00:09:28.060Peace, order, and good government should be replaced by peace, order, and good social metrics.
00:09:32.700That seems to be the point these days ahead of anything else.
00:09:35.740The liberals are particularly egregious offenders.
00:09:39.720A government that promised transparency by default has instead offered up a degree of message control and centralization that would have met with approval, if not admiration, for former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, PMO, which has a den of control-free boogeyman fit to ruin a peaceful slumber of any liberal.
00:09:59.280The liberals normally put a bit more effort into being cheerful in their messaging than the Harper-era Conservatives ever bothered to.
00:10:21.600The most you can say about Freeland and Trudeau putting masks on for the snaps by taking them off for the schmoozing is that it's an unusually stark example of government that has never been quite as advertised.
00:10:31.580And we know that, ladies and gentlemen.
00:10:32.760What has the liberal government done for you?
00:10:51.100So pointing out their failure to live up to their self-styled conception as feminists, reconciliation champions, and advocates for transparency requires at least some familiarity with the substance of the issues where the liberals talk the talk while skipping the walk.
00:12:05.480Okay, here are these leaders who are telling us to spend more money on this, take more money, borrow more money, keep spending money outside of Canada.
00:12:11.900And now they're traveling across the ocean, telling us, again, what we have to do, what we have to be.
00:12:16.700And yet they don't set that simple example.

00:14:50.680The way the conservatives are calling a prime minister, Justin Trudeau, to fire defense manager, Harjit Sajjan, arguing he lost the confidence the armed forces over the military sexual misconduct crisis.
00:14:58.500During a heated exchange in question period today, conservative leader Aaron O'Toole accused Sajjan of mishandling the sexual misconduct crisis on a number of occasions over the past six years.
00:15:11.740O'Toole said Sajjan had failed to get the problem under control by fully implementing the recommendations in a landmark report released in 2015.
00:15:38.880The Canadian forces is literally falling apart before our eyes, said O'Toole.
00:15:42.100And when the prime minister fires incompetent minister, Sajjan said he wouldn't take advice from conservatives on military matters because O'Toole's party cut the military budget.
00:16:26.160So, we know we have a lot more work to do to make sure we create inclusive environment in the Canadian forces and we will get it done, Sajjan, Sajjan said.
00:16:33.180This call for Sajjan's resignation comes a day after two bombshell developments.
00:16:37.980The military's second in command, Lieutenant General Mike Rouleau, announced his resignation this week after news broke he played golf earlier this month with former Chief of Defense Staff Jonathan Vance, who was under investigation over an accusation of sexual misconduct.
00:16:50.560Of course, Vance denies the accusation, even though his lover confessed to it, having a couple of children with him.
00:17:01.240Needless to say, Major General Danny Fortan also filed a legal challenge on Monday, claiming the decision to publicly terminate his secondment last month as the head of Canada's vaccine rollout was driven by political meddling by Sajjan, among others.
00:17:14.020Okay, Fortan was removed from the vaccine rollout mid-May, just days before the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service referred a sexual misconduct investigation to the Quebec Prosecution Service, which is where the criminal charges should be laid.
00:17:27.100Fortan denies the sexual misconduct claim.
00:17:29.200I did an episode of that before, if you look back at previous episodes.
00:17:33.220Apparently, when he was a freshman at RMC, he exposed his junk to somebody.
00:17:57.860I'm not going to bother getting into the other details.
00:18:00.520Anyhow, an interview with CBC News Power and Politics, retired Lieutenant General Guy Thiebaud, former vice chief of defense staff, said the current missexual mechanics crisis is a dark period for the Canadian Armed Forces.
00:18:12.380He compared it to the Somalia scandal of the 1990s.
00:18:15.000I don't think there's the same thing, but that's just my opinion.
00:18:20.780Thiebaud told Power and Politics guest host David Common, the hurt suffered by military members due to sexual misconduct is horrific.
00:18:29.940What gets me is this whole misconduct thing is not just idle chit chat or something that happened at a bar or at a party.
00:18:36.160This is something I have for a period of years involving senior officers.
00:18:40.800And personally, you know, let's sort the fuck out.
00:18:45.100But then again, I've never been a big fan of Harjit Sajjan to begin with, because here's the guy that pushed the whole let's replace our old F-18s with older F-18s for the sake of spare parts, because that's an excellent defense procurement.
00:20:14.200I never read the story about what happened there.
00:20:16.140But I can see where that Frenchman was coming from.
00:20:20.360Not really happy with the whole woke agendas and stuff, too.
00:20:23.840That's what gets me, too, because we have a bunch of politicians and leaders in this country who are keep promoting this whole woke mandate and this whole diversity mandate, inclusion mandate and all that.
00:20:33.380And I'm not seeing any real progress here.
00:20:54.740Doesn't matter if you're from Ontario or Quebec or New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland, Labrador, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Inuvuk, Yukon, B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba.
00:21:10.660I can honestly say the majority of Canadians, we were not raised with that bigotry, as we're told to by, you know, Jagmeet Singh and the Rachel Notley's out there and the Justin Trudeau's and, of course, his liberal follies.
00:21:24.220You know, his cabinet ministers basically picked on gender and identity rather than actual qualifications.
00:24:29.740And if they call a federal election this August, guess what I'm doing?
00:24:35.500I'm going to be running against the guy in this area.
00:24:38.540OK, I've got my debate notes and I've got everything written down and I've rehearsed this and I'll be working on the campaign trail when we get the thumbs up to get out there and campaign.
00:24:49.180OK, so that being said, anybody who's listening right now from the Conservative Party who is in charge of calling people, asking for donations, stop calling me.
00:25:14.860The Veterans Coalition Party was put together for the sake of people having a choice rather than the usual three dynamics.
00:25:20.000You know, the NDP and the conservatives and the liberals are like.
00:25:25.500The Veterans Coalition Party stands for other things.
00:25:28.060Very libertarian, very liberal and in some cases, conservative based, too.
00:25:32.980But you're not just dealing with veterans.
00:25:34.500You're dealing with ex first responders, present first responders, some police officers, some doctors, some legal people and just blue collar people alike.
