00:02:21.480
more ranting more pottering i'm not going to put together any more facts and figures for this episode
00:02:25.140
again because i am really really getting sick and tired of always having to back up my claims and i
00:02:30.040
i'm not against backing up claims i'm not against proving your work i've said numerous times
00:02:34.200
in the podcast when you write something like an essay point proof explanation and conclusion and
00:02:39.240
then you show like your your bibliography that's what they told us in school when you back up your
00:02:44.300
claims what chapter what page what book you know that kind of thing so here's my chapters here's my
00:02:49.460
book okay we're looking at the fiasco canadian politics once again okay and interesting the past
00:02:56.460
24 hours nothing has really changed okay in the past day i've gone to a medical appointment i've gone
00:03:02.600
to did some shopping got some gasoline get myself busy did some creative work i wrote some notes
00:03:08.880
based on a certain screenplay that i would like to produce uh sometime i've written a couple of short
00:03:15.720
stories chatted with friends online try to keep myself busy focused and sane and when you watch the
00:03:20.960
news when you watch the carnies you watch the polyevs you watch the jagmeet sings it's it's getting
00:03:26.860
it's getting tiresome you know and once again folks i am not going to tell you who to vote for i'm not
00:03:34.080
going to tell you what you should believe in i would assume that the majority of canadians and my
00:03:39.120
american friends and my british and german and french and danish lithuanian polish everybody that has
00:03:44.900
weighed in on the show actually watch the show i'm sure you enjoy democracy okay i am sure you enjoy the
00:03:52.260
fact that you can go to your job pay your bills have some money to help your kids out help your
00:03:57.100
wife out help your husband out your boyfriend lover or whoever identifies as and make things good
00:04:03.300
okay i am positive that you want to live that kind of life in freedom without any kind of government
00:04:09.460
oversight now when i look at the politicians in this country i have seen a dynamic shift okay what used
00:04:17.980
to be conservative 30 years ago is now considered a little more libertarian a little more freedom
00:04:22.780
oriented and what was considered real liberalism liberalism 30 years ago is very very hard fucking
00:04:29.300
left okay now my parents were die-hard liberals and i'm not talking you know the flag wave and when it's
00:04:36.880
okay liberals now i mean they were very very liberal minded you do you i do me opinions would fly across
00:04:44.080
the table it doesn't matter you know there was no need for the animosity or division there was no need
00:04:49.980
for questioning one's authority people just got along okay and we can sit and reminisce and reflect on
00:04:56.960
those days and our misspent youth and all this other stuff you know oh my goodness
00:05:01.880
and go back to la la land when days were innocent when people actually gave a shit but then again to
00:05:11.120
when i'm gonna look back in the past and how liberalism was starting to form into this really
00:05:15.600
ugly almost borderline mentally challenged stepchild there were hints of that you know they all say
00:05:23.640
hindsight is 20 20 i get it but when i'm getting up in age when i'm getting up and things i'm starting
00:05:30.300
to see things for what they are you know you can't sugarcoat bullshit anymore you can't butter up a shit
00:05:36.620
sandwich throwing some lettuce and tomato in a half fast jar of miracle whip and say here kids dig in
00:05:42.260
still a shit sandwich right you can't polish a turd right can't put lipstick on a pig every little
00:05:49.340
analogy that's out there so for this election the debates are coming okay it's now the 15th tomorrow
00:05:55.820
night is going to be the french debate i suggest that everyone watches that too okay watch the body
00:06:03.060
language watch the gestures watch how they carefully respond in french watch how they don't carefully
00:06:10.440
respond in french okay i have some familiarity with le francais i was actually almost speaking it pretty
00:06:16.720
well at one time but it was one things you don't practice you forget it but a few words come back and a
00:06:21.780
few phrases come back okay so i can pick this up pick that up right so watch that debate ladies and
00:06:27.220
gentlemen and then come the 17th watch the english debate too and the same thing watch the gestures
00:06:33.140
watch the body language how they present said package today in the news honda is going to be
00:06:38.080
probably moving some jobs to the states that was kind of inevitable regardless of donald trump or not
00:06:43.960
okay because every time the government has invested money taxpayers money into these projects
00:06:51.160
something doesn't get done an executive gets a few more bucks a ceo gets a few more bucks
00:06:57.760
and production kind of goes down right see that's what happens when you try to promote businesses with
00:07:04.880
a woke agenda you try to create electric vehicles you try to expand things okay government shouldn't
00:07:10.660
have a goddamn say in that period the private investor should have a say in that you follow the rules of
00:07:16.760
said country and but then everything's fine too but it seems like every time some kind of business
00:07:21.640
or some idea comes up to this nation you've got the government standing and saying wait a minute we
00:07:26.660
need our share too you want people like me that want a job i'm saying i don't want to have i have a job
00:07:32.100
but people in my category okay people that are 50 and below who just want to go to work do their thing
00:07:37.280
and have a good fucking time and just just be left alone right save for our rainy days to save for our
00:07:44.060
retirement okay but you keep seeing the dynamic and you keep hearing about mr singh talk about
00:07:51.020
we're gonna fight for you you never fought a day in your fucking life pal i don't care how many times
00:07:56.080
you've grappled your friends on a mat in some private gym bragging about what kind of new rolex
00:08:01.420
you got okay and i'm a little concerned with pauliev too and what he's doing okay now there's a link i will
00:08:07.920
put in the description here that he had with brian lily and it was a pretty good speech it's about 40
00:08:13.000
minutes long so i'll leave that link in the description for you ladies and gentlemen to follow
00:08:17.020
at your leisure okay but i'm still seeing the big division when it comes to what the americans are
00:08:24.280
doing and what us canucks are doing okay and i hate to say it folks but it's not it's not donald

premiere please give me a thumbs up give me a like comment if you do and just let me know where
00:09:40.520
you're writing from that's all okay and we're carrying on this episode so more pondering i ponder that
00:09:45.300
the next couple of weeks gonna be pretty dramatic because the 28th ladies and gentlemen is the day
00:09:49.740
is the day for a new prime minister i hope but there's also some predictions out there about
00:09:55.680
the liberals getting another minority government too now from what i understand of mr yves blanchet
00:10:00.780
the the leader of the bloc quebecois i think he might support the conservatives okay
00:10:07.180
and i think there might be some friction there now i'm pretty sure the way the ndp is rolling too
00:10:14.180
i don't think they're going to gain any more seats i think they might lose a few seats
00:10:17.740
including jagmeet okay there's a couple of people in my life that are diehard nd peers
00:10:22.580
and they're not happy with his performance whatsoever he's good they're tired of the
00:10:27.040
whole race card issue they're tired of all this crap of them fighting and yet if you're fighting
00:10:31.040
so hard for canada why do you constantly insist on having government programs right if you want
00:10:36.280
to fight for canada you should let free market reign hey that's the idea if you want to fight for
00:10:42.100
canadians stay out of our lives that simple right he was nothing like jack layton and he was nothing
00:10:52.720
like ed broadband i remember ed broadband back in my teen years and i kind of had some admiration for
00:10:57.880
the guy because he was articulate he was concise and he stood against the liberals and he stood against
00:11:04.120
the conservatives and i remember watching parliament back in those days the odd glimpse you'd see on
00:11:09.080
cable cable tv remember that kids cable ha ha ha right and debates were a lot more articulate and
00:11:17.460
there wasn't so much race baiting there wasn't any age baiting and there was no worry about anyone's
00:11:23.280
fucking identity it was a matter of trying to display the policies as per and try to promote them
00:11:29.560
try to justify and try to back them up that's what you're supposed to do in parliament but then again
00:11:34.380
our parliamentary system is not perfect either too i wonder how many little inside jobs are going here
00:11:39.360
slapping tickling for the pickling per se how much money is exchanged through behind closed doors
00:11:44.120
right and i've had people on my instagram account sit there and ponder to me and give me comments about
00:11:50.280
my my anti-cbc rhetoric and how you know i should give the liberals another chance and it's like
00:11:55.980
if someone's been fucking you in the tush for 10 years in the name of progress would you give them a
00:12:01.820
chance i mean really hey oh i said the f-bomb and i said tush too so hey it doesn't give you a very
00:12:09.900
very comfortable visual now does it unless you're into that sort of thing however
00:12:16.720
i think you wonderful people know what i'm getting at here too
00:12:22.300
okay now there's a video from moose the loose he's a great guy i haven't had a chance of talking yet but
00:12:28.120
i really like his product there and he's got a video in regards to a certain letter that the rcmp
00:12:32.840
gave to mr carney's um how do you say leadership in regards to infiltration into our politics
00:12:40.320
now i'll have to find that video again but i will include that link in my description there ladies and
00:12:45.800
gentlemen at for for your leisure okay and i want you my wonderful audience to look at it for what it is
00:12:51.640
every time i put something out there or even this show look at it for what it is formulate your own
00:12:57.140
opinion and then go with it because the biggest minority in the world today is the individual
00:13:02.580
doesn't matter what color you are doesn't matter how you identify doesn't matter if you like star
00:13:07.180
trek or star wars doesn't matter if you like red crayons or blue crayons doesn't matter if you love
00:13:11.820
the toronto maple leafs or the toronto rock or the montreal canadians or toronto fc football club i love
00:13:18.840
my tfc but anyway make a long story short you know what i'm getting at i can tell you the suck eggs
00:13:23.160
but we have to start thinking better about who we select to lead not to dictate not to not to
00:13:32.560
promote propaganda not to display rhetoric at our feet okay we've seen enough of that
00:13:39.720
okay we we have we we've seen more than enough of the rhetoric okay because i like to remind you too
00:13:47.840
that our mps in this country are making roughly 200 000 bucks plus that's just a backbenching mp 200
00:13:53.620
000 plus just to sit in parliament not to mention let's say a minister would make roughly 280 and
00:14:00.340
change almost 300 grand a year to ponder and waste our time okay mark carney had a little speech the
00:14:09.700
other day in regards to military procurement and note when you see or hear anything that he says about
00:14:14.800
military procurement he speaks it in a bureaucratic term he doesn't speak it as and this is what we
00:14:22.340
got to do what we got to get done how we got to do it he speaks it like a bureaucrat that's the
00:14:29.120
problem right there too many damn bureaucrats okay cut from the top right like i've said before ladies
00:14:36.860
and gentlemen in order to save the milk you got to cut the cream nothing wrong with skim milk still
00:14:43.680
healthy for you still tastes great in your cereal you might have to put a little more sweetener or
00:14:47.940
sugar in it but i does the trick get your vitamin d keeps the bones strong and the teeth strong
00:14:53.260
right but it keeps you alive so i'll use that metaphor to let people know okay you can't have
00:15:01.060
everything with everything heavy on top cream is heavy cream goes good in your coffee cream goes good
00:15:05.920
in some strawberries cream goes good in some baking recipes but everybody can afford those luxuries
00:15:10.580
at the moment so in order to save the milk you gotta cut the cream in order to save our politics
00:15:16.360
you gotta cut the cream in order to save this country cut the fucking cream

00:16:00.460
anyhow um as i was ranting in regards to cutting the cream you know you're not cutting the cheese
00:16:06.220
you're cutting the cream big difference okay so we have to think better about things now back to my
00:16:12.920
little quip i was going to talk about the cbc a couple of individuals weighed in and if you go to
00:16:17.940
instagram you're going to see this advert for save the cbc and again a lot of these individuals
00:16:23.640
uh former actors um classically trained actors that this country has produced talking about how
00:16:29.560
wonderful cbc is and at one time i agree cbc was pretty good it was okay but some some fart come
00:16:37.580
aboard me they're talking about you know what you're talking about we have all these great programs what
00:16:41.200
do you what do you mean i'm very very fond of the cbc programs that are just they're everywhere for
00:16:45.760
everybody so i asked the gentleman said okay give me give me an example of what you watch
00:16:49.840
and listen to on a daily basis okay the man couldn't even come up with a list off the top
00:16:55.820
of his head not even three or four shows or a couple of radio programs okay he just it's all about
00:17:01.940
cbc everything's good nothing to see here right so that's a reminder too that ladies and gentlemen
00:17:08.020
if you're going to engage me with something bring your facts to the table bring your opinion to the
00:17:13.800
table but not your feelings not your feelings so i'll shut you down okay because the situation
00:17:21.180
we're in right now in this country democratically is well beyond the spectrum of feelings well beyond
00:17:27.440
the spectrum of your own personal thoughts it's on the spectrum of we got to do better we have to
00:17:33.160
make a valid decision on who we want to lead this country now let's say the election was tomorrow
00:17:38.280
and let's say mr blarney carney won okay this is my point of view on it let's say he won
00:17:43.460
we can guess higher taxes we can guess the gun laws will be turned even tighter okay and i think
00:17:52.540
life will be harder and the harder life gets under any kind of government that tries to butter up
00:17:59.840
a turd as i said or a shit sandwich people are going to get mad people are going to get angry
00:18:08.100
people are going to be upset people are going to be well beyond disappointed
00:18:14.320
and i'm almost positive there's going to be a fight
00:18:19.840
a big one not just a skirmish in a corner or a hockey fight or a bench brawl there's going to be
00:18:28.120
tension there's going to be chaos and people would probably get hurt
00:18:33.220
so all those individuals out there that sat and pissed on the convoy and pissed on some veterans
00:18:40.080
that made a difference i.e. like james todd that took a walk across canada
00:18:45.100
and everybody else that joined them and everybody else that supported the convoy and everybody else
00:18:50.560
that actually stood up for freedom a lot of yous fail to forget that when they did that convoy
00:18:56.180
the rules changed thereafter so they made a difference okay
00:19:03.160
those people made a difference and there was no blighting fighting in the streets
00:19:09.140
there was no fucking occupation right people were still allowed to move freely around ottawa
00:19:16.480
as best they could wellington street was just covered up okay but there's still emergency lanes were still
00:19:21.600
open and there's proof of that i've personally watched about four hours of footage and nobody got
00:19:27.700
stuck if someone got stuck the convoy was there to push them out right so access two parts and emergency
00:19:36.360
roads were still open now you may disagree with that convoy that's fine but they weren't a bunch of
00:19:43.200
you know fascists they weren't a bunch of shit disturbers there might have been a few people that try to stir
00:19:47.620
the pot but they put a lid in that pretty goddamn quick okay it reminds me too of a conversation i
00:19:55.920
had with a friend of mine about a freedom convoy well that's not freedom and i'm like okay what do
00:20:02.020
you mean it's not a freedom convoy would you rather have them in insult crafts landing on the beach like
00:20:08.040
some glorified scene from saving private ryan would that be the freedom you seek bloodshed machine gun
00:20:15.040
rounds going everywhere tracers dancing over your head would that be a freedom convoy now i've never
00:20:21.040
landed on a foreign beach in an atlanticraft but i've been in a couple of firefights and i remember
00:20:26.240
tracers going over my head oh wow like star wars let's see those tracers were meant to be at me
00:20:32.900
and my captain and my my teammates so it puts things in perspective so it was a freedom convoy because
00:20:40.860
they wanted to talk to someone to say hey enough of these mandates and nobody in our government other
00:20:49.160
party members did but nobody in the government had the guts or the intelligence or the intestinal
00:20:57.960
fucking fortitude to talk to them and you know what's scary ladies and gentlemen that some of those people
00:21:05.340
are still sitting in parliament right now or still have a seat in parliament right now who still hold
00:21:10.660
on to their trivial bs their scare tactics their propaganda telling people like me and you and
00:21:19.960
