00:01:49.320 So as I said, woke Oscars.
00:01:51.280 Yes, I did not watch the Oscars last Sunday.
00:01:53.940 Why?
00:01:54.240 Because it's a waste of effing time, ladies and gentlemen.
00:01:57.900 Yes, a waste of time.
00:02:00.180 Why?
00:02:01.240 Because the past five years has been nothing but a political joke in the eyes of entertainment.
00:02:07.100 Everything from the Grammys to Candace Junos to this award show to that award show.
00:02:12.300 It seems like every time someone wins an award or a nice little trophy and a pat in the back
00:02:16.240 from a millionaire to another millionaire, there's always some kind of political woke agenda.
00:02:20.660 Now, I have said numerous times in this show, I don't care where you're from, what you
00:02:25.000 do, how you do it.
00:02:25.880 Do it well to the best of your ability and make sure that you're trying to be fair to
00:02:30.040 the people around you.
00:02:31.920 That has nothing to do with the color of your skin, your gender, your identity, your sexuality.
00:02:35.680 It's a matter of how you choose to be a human being.
00:02:37.960 Now, when I watch these shows and I watch all these performances by these so-called talented
00:02:43.300 people, oh, that's right, when they talk about their pussies or talk about their toes or
00:02:47.540 their face or their ex-boyfriends that dissed them when they were 18 years of age, it makes
00:02:52.840 you wonder where is the quality of art today as we see it, okay?
00:02:57.160 Now, I'm not a trained artist.
00:02:59.560 I'm not a trained musician.
00:03:02.440 I'm not a trained actor.
00:03:03.960 I've had some acting training, yeah, but I'm not like a Shakespearean actor or anything like
00:03:08.460 that.
00:03:09.000 Never have been, never aspired to.
00:03:10.480 But because of the training I've had and because of the insight and some of the education I've
00:03:15.200 had, it's given me a respect and appreciation for Shakespeare, you know, for some shows.
00:03:22.400 Now, I can't stand fucking musicals.
00:03:24.400 Well, you know, that's just me.
00:03:25.800 I don't really, you know, I don't really like to follow dialogue and all of a sudden, let's
00:03:29.520 break into song and dance.
00:03:31.000 It just doesn't do anything for me.
00:03:32.860 But I can appreciate someone who spends time and effort training to be a great musical actor.
00:03:38.100 Okay, so be it, right?
00:03:40.840 I grew up on science fiction shows, good TV shows.
00:03:44.620 You know, Star Trek is one of my favorites, of course.
00:03:46.560 You know, who does not love the Trek?
00:03:47.880 Star Wars, you know, cheesy shows from the 80s like Knight Rider, what have you.
00:03:52.120 You know, but as you get older, you tend to realize how corny some of these shows have
00:03:57.100 been or can be or how some shows made it big and they shouldn't have made it big.
00:04:01.780 But you learn, right?
00:04:03.300 And watching the Oscars, it used to be exciting.
00:04:05.700 It used to be exciting to watch, you know, performances and efforts and merits, everything
00:04:12.300 from production to editing to costumes to layouts to the whole works.
00:04:18.520 And then you tune into the end of the show to see who got best actor or best motion picture,
00:04:22.380 best actress, what have you, you know?
00:04:24.900 And what gets me is that every time now you watch an award show, they keep contriving this
00:04:32.800 political fucking agenda.
00:04:34.300 Now, yes, I'm very political in my show.
00:04:37.700 That's part of my medium.
00:04:38.800 That's part of my platform.
00:04:39.800 That's part of what I do.
00:04:41.180 Okay.
00:04:41.640 But I don't think politics 24 fucking seven.
00:04:44.320 I spend time with my wife, my friends when I can.
00:04:47.800 You know, I spend time outside trying to find notable work, trying to keep the bills paid,
00:04:52.860 trying to keep the lights on.
00:04:53.680 So I keep myself fucking busy.
00:04:54.840 And it's nice to turn on the tube once in a while and escape from the mundane-ness of
00:05:01.360 life sometimes.
00:05:02.660 And it's good to turn out all the bullshit from the media, you know?
00:05:07.360 But every time there's a new movie out or there's a new television show out, they've
00:05:11.860 got to incorporate this woke BS crap.
00:05:15.100 Now, I'm not saying don't include people.
00:05:18.320 No, I'm not saying that.
00:05:19.160 But why is that still such an agenda?
00:05:21.640 Why do people have to worry about quotas all the time?
00:05:23.800 Oh, we have to have so many of this and so many of that.
00:05:27.380 We have to have this group and that group.
00:05:29.340 And there's not enough representation for this little group and not enough representation
00:05:32.720 for that little group.
00:05:33.480 It's like, well, what group are you trying to promote here?
00:05:38.000 Okay?
00:05:38.960 People want to go see movies to escape.
00:05:40.720 People want to go and see entertainment and hear music and watch television shows and read
00:05:45.920 stories that just captivate their imagination, not tell them what line to fucking walk.
00:05:53.620 Okay?
00:05:54.580 You're supposed to be raised that way.
00:05:56.040 Your parents are supposed to instill certain values in you as you grow up.
00:05:59.600 You know?
00:05:59.940 Don't lie.
00:06:00.640 Don't cheat.
00:06:01.120 Don't steal.
00:06:01.740 Don't hit people.
00:06:02.660 Don't take their fucking stuff.
00:06:04.420 Shit simple like that.
00:06:05.480 But every time you turn on a tube, it doesn't matter what mainstream media.
00:06:08.500 To my American friends, it doesn't matter if you're watching ABC, NBC, CNN, Fox, Newsmax.
00:06:14.760 It doesn't matter.
00:06:16.160 Right?
00:06:16.700 Up here in Canada, CTV, Global, CBC, all these other little fucking know-it-alls regressing the
00:06:22.180 same bullshit and celebrating the efforts of an actor that happens to be female and from
00:06:27.120 this race.
00:06:27.640 How about the quality of her work?
00:06:30.460 Or celebrating a writer that comes from this country or comes from this group of people.
00:06:35.260 How about their quality of work?
00:06:37.620 Okay?
00:06:37.780 Like, when you watch certain dramatic movies, you want to see the human experience.
00:06:45.160 It doesn't matter where they're fucking from or where they stand or whether they put this
00:06:49.200 in their mouth or this in their butt.
00:06:50.540 Who gives a shit?
00:06:52.960 How do they present the performance?
00:06:56.980 Okay?
00:06:57.220 People forget that actors are supposed to be acting.
00:07:02.160 Okay?
00:07:04.760 You're trained in the art to live a moment, to captivate something, to captivate your audience,
00:07:11.000 to take those words on the paper from the script or from the novel or screenplay or whatever
00:07:17.080 has been handed to you, and you're supposed to create something.
00:07:19.680 Who gives a shit in your personal life if you've got two wives or a false eye or a liking
00:07:26.340 for bestiality?
00:07:27.240 Who gives a shit?
00:07:28.880 Deliver the fucking performance.
00:07:32.060 Okay?
00:07:32.320 Who gives a shit where you stand in the political arena?
00:07:34.700 Who gives a shit how you feel about this president or that prime minister or this minister or
00:07:40.120 that person?
00:07:41.000 Who gives a shit what was said about you on Twitter or whatever social media platform?
00:07:47.000 Right?
00:07:47.180 And what gets me is a lot of these actors and entertainers are making tons of cash for
00:07:53.340 mediocre work.
00:07:54.420 And for what?
00:07:55.480 For what?
00:07:55.960 Just to show up?
00:07:57.140 Play the part?
00:07:57.860 Walk the line or else?
00:07:59.700 You know?
00:08:00.580 You've said this part to best your potential?
00:08:03.360 Or you will be blacklisted, yabble?
00:08:05.840 Yeah?
00:08:06.740 That's what it's coming into.
00:08:08.380 And my wife and I were actually talking about, oh, we're going to watch the Oscars tonight?
00:08:11.960 No.
00:08:12.380 Why bother?
00:08:13.300 We didn't care.
00:08:15.080 You know?
00:08:15.340 So her and I, we watched old British comedies.
00:08:18.620 Some real entertainment.
00:08:20.300 You know?
00:08:20.720 Sitcoms.
00:08:21.120 Laughter.
00:08:21.620 Joy.
00:08:22.620 Trying to escape from all this bullshit.
00:08:24.460 Right?
00:08:25.180 And the critical drinker.
00:08:26.100 I'll put a link up on the description.
00:08:27.900 But he made a very valid point when it came to political sanctimonium bullshit that a lot
00:08:33.760 of these so-called entertainers and experts and actors extraordinaire are pushing down
00:08:39.100 our fucking throats.

00:09:44.620 I've got an emergency phone call.
00:09:46.020 Anyhow, like I was saying, enough is enough.
00:09:48.280 No more of this crap.
00:09:49.560 No more of this garbage.
00:09:50.820 Like, it's getting harder to really, really enjoy a good movie.
00:09:55.420 Now, my wife and I were Marvel fans.
00:09:57.340 We enjoy the Avengers.
00:09:59.500 We enjoy the Hulk, Spider-Man, all that stuff.
00:10:01.380 And it's really, it's entertaining films.
00:10:03.680 They're excellent.
00:10:05.060 You know, it's got eye candy.
00:10:06.480 It's got special effects.
00:10:07.780 It's got the drama.
00:10:09.160 Superhero poses.
00:10:10.060 All that good stuff.
00:10:10.940 Like, every little kid's dream when it comes to watching a comic book movie, watching
00:10:15.280 their comic book heroes flourish and thrive and beat the bad guys.
00:10:18.280 But even that, too, is being compromised.
00:10:21.320 Even that, too, has its moments where about wokeness and BS.
00:10:27.200 It's like when you hear Mary Jane talking about the Washington Monument, how it was built
00:10:30.700 by slaves and all this crap.
00:10:32.300 And it's like, really?
00:10:34.240 Like, enough is enough.
00:10:35.480 You can't just watch a movie and just escape anymore without all the political bullshit.
00:10:40.780 Yeah, history has its share of ups and downs.
00:10:45.040 But that's why it's called history.
00:10:46.800 So we're supposed to learn from it.
00:10:48.500 Not constantly being reminded of it.
00:10:51.140 Yeah, we know there was slavery.
00:10:52.780 We also know there was genocides.
00:10:54.240 We also know there were people that were treated like garbage based on their gender.
00:10:57.860 We also know there were people being treated like garbage based on their income.
00:11:02.640 People treated like garbage based on their height.
00:11:05.480 People treated like garbage based on their hair color or how they preach to God.
00:11:09.540 Right?
00:11:09.940 So there's animosity and prejudice everywhere, not just geared towards one color or one race
00:11:14.920 of people.
00:11:16.300 Right?
00:11:17.680 I like to think we've evolved from that stuff.
00:11:19.720 But no, we've got to be reminded of it.
00:11:21.180 No?
00:11:21.300 You know, someone with a so-called sociology degree writes a screenplay about injustice
00:11:26.740 and equality, and we have to sit and be mesmerized by half-assed work.
00:11:32.760 And if this work doesn't get praised, oh my God, there's prejudice, there's racism.
00:11:36.840 No.
00:11:37.360 Maybe because the quality of work's gone to shit, and you didn't fucking merit for anything.
00:11:43.360 See, that's what we forget too.
00:11:45.160 You know?
00:11:45.420 When you look at movies and television and entertainment, it's supposed to entertain you.
00:11:52.200 Yes.
00:11:52.740 Entertain you.
00:11:53.560 Make you feel good.
00:11:54.240 Make you feel sad.
00:11:55.040 Make you feel bad.
00:11:56.000 What have you.
00:11:56.980 But I'm not going to constantly fucking turn on the tube and be reminded about bullshit that
00:12:01.460 happened 100 years ago or 200 years ago.
00:12:03.920 I wasn't there.
00:12:04.540 You weren't there.
00:12:05.820 Fuck's sake.
00:12:06.360 Smarten up.

00:12:21.380 Well, smack my ass and call me Judy.
00:12:24.340 Exactly.
00:12:24.980 Smack your ass and call you as all Judy, for fuck's sakes.
00:12:27.340 Wake the hell up.
00:12:28.840 Okay?
00:12:29.160 Don't give me this woke BS, you know?
00:12:31.300 And I personally don't care, like, who I'm working with.
00:12:33.500 Now, I did some extra work there about a year and a half ago.
00:12:36.380 And there was quite the diversity of people there too.
00:12:39.760 And it didn't matter who was white or who was black or who was Filipino or who was Asian
00:12:43.720 or who was brown or who stood on one leg or who had a false leg and a false eye and a promise
00:12:48.820 of a kiss and a reach around.
00:12:50.260 No one fucking cared.
00:12:52.340 We all had work to do there.
00:12:53.840 And it was about a 14-hour day.
00:12:56.700 And I was paid pretty good for it as an extra.
00:12:59.620 And I enjoyed it.
00:13:01.740 You know?
00:13:02.220 I enjoyed it.
00:13:03.880 And it didn't matter what was going on behind the scenes.
00:13:06.980 It was what was being produced.
00:13:08.520 What was being brought to you.
00:13:10.380 You know?
00:13:10.700 As Rod Serling said, subjected for your approval.
00:13:13.700 Or submitted for your approval.
00:13:15.380 You know what I mean?
00:13:16.840 Honestly.
00:13:17.760 And it seems like every time we turn around, there are more rules, more goalposts put here,
00:13:24.700 more goalposts put there.
00:13:26.240 Right?
00:13:26.760 Telling us when to shit, when to breathe, when to be.
00:13:30.120 And no more.
00:13:31.360 Okay?
00:13:31.860 So we're going to have to work that much harder to find a decent movie to watch now.
00:13:36.360 Now, we've got all these special features that you can get on television.
00:13:39.060 Video on demand.
00:13:40.080 And you can buy rent here off of YouTube and other social media sites.
00:13:44.060 Which is okay.
00:13:44.700 Gives you a bit of a choice.
00:13:46.460 Instead of waiting in line.
00:13:48.020 In the name of the bear bug.
00:13:49.340 Or the panic.
00:13:50.460 Right?
00:13:50.720 Or wearing masks.
00:13:52.020 But in the same sense.
00:13:53.800 Like, look what they did when it came to the presentation of the show.
00:13:56.720 In some old Union train station that was a borderline museum now.
00:14:00.460 In the name of safety and all this.
00:14:01.880 But, I don't know.
00:14:03.120 It just seems so fucking shitty.
00:14:06.860 You know?
00:14:07.320 Sorry for not using enough big words for this podcast.
00:14:09.620 But come on, folks.
00:14:10.420 Like, enough is enough.
00:14:12.300 We've got to start looking at things for what they are.
00:14:14.700 You know?
00:14:15.000 I think everybody in my generation.
00:14:17.920 Generation Xers.
00:14:18.820 We have a good common sense when it comes to how we treat people.
00:14:23.260 And we don't have to buy any more of this woke crap.
00:14:26.900 Look what happened with Coca-Cola.
00:14:28.460 Look at the outrage in that.
00:14:29.380 And really.
00:14:30.020 Not more of an outrage.
00:14:30.880 Just to stop and think for a minute.
00:14:33.180 What are these people talking about?
00:14:35.020 Right?
00:14:35.220 I'm sick and tired of the race-baiting crap.
00:14:39.300 I'm sick and tired of the Feldergarb.
00:14:41.380 And that's all it is.
00:14:42.740 Feldergarb.
00:14:43.220 You know?
00:14:43.440 From Battlestar Galactica.
00:14:44.420 Feldergarb.
00:14:45.140 A fancy way of saying, fuck.
00:14:46.600 What a shit show.
00:14:48.660 And it is.
00:14:49.920 Right?
00:14:51.000 I have a few friends in my life that are actors.
00:14:52.920 And they're sitting there standing back going, what the fuck?
00:14:56.340 Right?
00:14:56.580 If you write a story about a black person coming to North America.
00:15:01.220 Fine.
00:15:02.160 Then, of course, you're going to hire the black actor to do the job.
00:15:05.420 And it's up to that he or she to decide how to present that character.
00:15:09.100 It doesn't matter what's going on behind the scenes.
00:15:12.440 As long as timings are meant.
00:15:14.320 You know?
00:15:14.680 And as long as people are showing up on time to do what they have to do.
00:15:18.080 It shouldn't matter what color they are.
00:15:19.740 Can they do the job?
00:15:21.540 Right?
00:15:22.100 And if that movie makes, you know, $100 million.
00:15:25.360 Fucking right on.
00:15:26.320 Great.
00:15:26.580 But if that guy gets ignored at the Oscars, that doesn't mean it's racial.
00:15:30.860 It means, okay, maybe it wasn't what they're looking for.
00:15:33.620 But we've got to stop worrying about how many groups are here being represented.
00:15:36.780 We've got to start worrying about the quality of the work.
00:15:38.860 Who gives a shit if this guy comes from here or this girl comes from there?
00:15:41.640 Who cares if this girl has five or six girlfriends and maybe the occasional boyfriend?
00:15:45.640 Who cares?
00:15:47.840 You don't judge people based on that.
00:15:49.160 You judge people on how they treat other people and their actions.
00:15:52.020 Right?
00:15:53.540 Who gives a shit?
00:15:55.540 And that's the thing.
00:15:56.320 How many people are leaving California right now?
00:15:57.960 To my American listeners that happen to be living in California, how many people are living there and are happy?
00:16:04.000 How many people are leaving?
00:16:05.060 You know, Joe Rogan left.
00:16:06.060 Ben Shapiro left.
00:16:07.420 You know, whether you're sitting left or right of the spectrum.
00:16:10.180 People are getting tired of the BS.
00:16:12.120 People are getting tired of it.
00:16:12.980 Even here in Canada, the same thing.
00:16:15.480 Look at a college application.
00:16:17.300 They want to know your identity, what you represent, what group you're from.
00:16:21.400 Does it matter?
00:16:22.040 No, it doesn't.
00:16:24.420 You know, am I compelled to see this movie about slavery?
00:16:28.100 Am I compelled to see that movie about certain Chinese dynasties?
00:16:31.880 Am I compelled to see a movie about some gay guy in Kingston, Ontario who likes to go fishing?
00:16:37.420 Who cares?
00:16:39.420 Movies can be made.
00:16:40.520 Things can be done.
00:16:41.800 You know?
00:16:42.480 It's all up to you, the viewer, to decide what you want to see, what you want to do.
00:16:46.860 Right?
00:16:48.320 It doesn't bloody fucking matter how many Filipinos are on this set or how many Asians are on this set or how many other Asians here or how many people from India are on this set.
00:16:58.700 It doesn't matter the quality of work.
00:17:01.300 Right?
00:17:01.700 The quality of work that goes behind in presenting this great product.
00:17:04.960 And it doesn't matter.
00:17:06.420 But, of course, it is.
00:17:07.620 Right?
00:17:08.320 Because entertainment now is a political fucking spectrum.
00:17:10.800 There's no better than the American Senate or a bloody fucking Parliament.

00:17:44.160 We're moving on again to the woke BS.
00:17:47.000 Woke Hollywood.
00:17:47.680 I'm done talking about actors, but I come across the story there.
00:17:51.820 In the Western Standard, we're getting more of a political BS now, too.
00:17:56.240 Ms. McKenna has stated that she will do better.
00:18:00.560 McKenna said she needs to do a better job explaining where billions have been spent on public works,
00:18:04.360 after Auditor General said they found only a partial picture of where the money went.
00:18:08.920 So that's the thing.
00:18:11.340 Well, Ms. McKenna, but it's Climate Barbie, now fucking Barbie the Builder.
00:18:15.980 Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna admits she needs to do better.
00:18:19.020 McKenna said she needs to do a better job of explaining where billions have been spent on public works,
00:18:23.460 after auditors in March 25th reports said they found only a partial picture of where the money went,
00:18:29.560 said Blacklock's reporter.
00:18:31.180 We need to fix this.
00:18:32.280 That's something I'm committed to,
00:18:33.760 because we obviously need to get full accounting,
00:18:35.800 McKenna Cole, the Commons Transport Committee.
00:18:37.920 Right, let's be 100% clear.
00:18:40.900 We have lost no projects.
00:18:42.300 We have tracked all projects.
00:18:44.480 Auditor General Karen Hogan said in a report investigators found incomplete records on taxpayer-funded projects.
00:18:50.880 She found disclosure was so haphazard.
00:18:54.440 McKenna's department was making it impossible to compare results year over year.
00:18:58.660 Cabinet launched the Investing in Canada plan in 2016.
00:19:01.720 It was budgeted at $187.8 billion over 12 years.
00:19:07.920 The absence of clear and complete reporting on the Investigating in Canada plan
00:19:12.280 makes it difficult for parliamentarians and Canadians
00:19:15.720 to know where their progress is being made against the intended objectives, said Ms. Hogan.
00:19:21.320 New Democrat MP Taylor Bacharach, Skinner Valley, Boakley Valley, B.C.,
00:19:26.000 described the audit as pretty troubling.
00:19:29.460 Bacharach read for the committee a portion of the audit that found Ms. McKenna's department
00:19:33.560 was unable to provide meaningful public reporting on the plan's overall progress towards its expected results.
00:19:41.160 My question is, how can Canadians trust these massive investments are advancing the goals
00:19:47.120 you've laid out when the Auditor General for Canada cannot connect the dots, asked the MP.
00:19:52.620 Look, I agree, said Ms. McKenna.
00:19:55.020 We need to do a better job of explaining outcome.
00:19:57.420 That is something I'm committed to, she said.
00:20:00.220 Yeah, okay.
00:20:01.880 I just, really.
00:20:03.380 So more or less, money is missing, and she's not stepping up to the fucking plate.
00:20:08.860 Really?
00:20:09.660 You know?
00:20:11.560 Auditor General is looking for justification for missing funds,
00:20:16.860 and Ms. McKenna can't explain it.
00:20:20.040 So why is it okay for these elected officials to sit and squander billions upon billions
00:20:25.000 and not account for it?
00:20:26.580 If you worked at a McDonald's and you were 40 shy of a till,
00:20:31.800 I'm not a shift, you're fucking fired.
00:20:33.920 Interesting, eh?
00:20:35.600 Excuse me.
00:20:37.080 A separate internal audit from last October 20th
00:20:40.640 found McKenna's department lacked mandatory checklists for due diligence
00:20:44.440 and had serious control failures.
00:20:47.060 Auditors found that 32 projects, okay, 32 projects, okay,
00:20:52.920 selected at random, 22 had incomplete checklists,
00:20:56.240 a failure rate of 69%.
00:20:58.320 So if you're investing something in a project
00:21:01.600 and 69% of that investment fails,
00:21:05.780 huh, Jesus Christ, private sector, you'd be fucking canned in a heartbeat.
00:21:10.560 Fuck, you'd be hung and quartered in.
00:21:12.140 Shut!
00:21:13.380 Wow.
00:21:14.440 Applications approved for subsidies were, quote-unquote,
00:21:19.200 missing approval signatures or did not have important steps checked off,
00:21:23.440 said the audit.
00:21:24.700 Auditors found 11% applications reviewed at random had no evidence cash flows
00:21:28.840 were provided by grant seekers.
00:21:31.200 Hmm.
00:21:32.560 More concerning, there were two instances where approved checklists
00:21:36.140 indicated the finance unit had verified the cash flow
00:21:39.620 when, in fact, that step had not occurred before the checklist was approved,
00:21:44.380 wrote auditors.
00:21:45.460 So here's a slap and tickle for you.
00:21:47.440 Yeah, the job's not fucking done.
00:21:49.000 But here, here's some money to help you along your way anyway.
00:21:52.040 Can you smell bullshit?
00:21:55.120 Holy fuck.
00:21:55.960 Anyway.
00:21:56.220 So we got the woke Oscar mandate, which is, you know, affecting North America
00:22:00.720 as we speak right now.
00:22:02.000 Honestly, you know, can we really actually go to a movie again
00:22:05.180 without worrying about political bullshit?
00:22:07.120 And we looked at our elected leaders, especially the past six years.
00:22:11.280 Now, the past six years for me personally has been a big wake-up
00:22:14.140 to a lot of policies and a lot of actions and endeavors
00:22:18.500 and the whole social spectrum, you know.
00:22:22.900 So it's almost like when I look back at my life
00:22:27.040 and I was taught certain principles of how to be good to people
00:22:29.500 the best you can, work hard, try to get ahead,
00:22:32.280 do what you think is right, you know.
00:22:34.760 Try to maintain your goal of doing what you think is right
00:22:37.200 and doing what you want to do to the best of your ability.
00:22:39.740 Although that's going out the window now too.
00:22:42.480 We're being tribalized again, you know, and that's not a new thing.
00:22:45.740 We're being tribalized.
00:22:47.280 We got to take sides of the fence.
00:22:48.740 Take this side, take that side.
00:22:50.240 Well, here's the side I want to walk on.
00:22:51.980 I want to see accountable politicians again, okay?
00:22:56.400 I want to see accountable politicians.
00:22:59.700 Is that too much to ask for?
00:23:01.720 Someone to own their shit?
00:23:03.660 When I was taught as a soldier how to be a good leader,
00:23:05.820 how to be a good instructor, you know, own your mistakes,
00:23:09.040 learn from them and carry on.
00:23:12.240 Do we have these politicians learning from everything?
00:23:14.620 Okay.
00:23:15.300 Here's Ms. McKenna making the better part of $220,000 a year
00:23:18.980 because of her ministerial position,
00:23:20.520 and yet she can't account for 69% of spending habits.
00:23:27.240 So I don't give a fuck what degree you have.
00:23:29.060 I don't care how smart you think you are.
00:23:31.220 You obviously don't have any kind of common courtesy
00:23:33.060 in your portfolio, right?
00:23:36.940 And you're towing the party line, too.
00:23:40.100 That's what it is.
00:23:41.080 It's basically favoritism to a certain party,
00:23:43.200 to your group, to your collective, right?
00:23:45.360 You're all bloody Borg, for fuck's sakes.

00:23:59.040 Like, it's just a shit show, ladies and gentlemen.
00:24:02.600 Anyway, here's a word for my sponsors.
00:24:04.060 In October of 2015, Lindsay Robbins, like many of her fellow Canadians,
00:24:09.500 was struggling with the turmoil of mental illness.
00:24:12.300 The ups and downs of what she was going through was shaping her realities,
00:24:15.620 and she longed for structure.
00:24:17.840 As luck would have it, that structure presented itself to her in the form of gardening.
00:24:22.300 And through gardening, Lindsay had an awakening that led her to create produce for heroes.
00:24:29.060 Lindsay realized that our veterans were going through their own mental struggles,
00:24:32.360 and through her own experience, she realized the power of community.
00:24:37.400 By desiring to help the way that she had been helped,
00:24:40.040 she has created a program that provides relief to veterans.
00:24:43.100 Her food program, which aims to provide veterans and their families relief
00:24:46.320 from the stresses of food insecurity
00:24:48.200 and help alleviate the cost of living
00:24:50.380 for those that have sacrificed so much for their country.
00:24:54.060 Whether it's through directly contacting produce for heroes
00:24:56.720 or through a friend's referral,
00:24:58.820 all veterans and their families living in Canada are welcome.
00:25:02.840 By shining a light on the struggle of veterans and their families,
00:25:05.760 Lindsay is hoping to get her fellow Canadians to hop on board
00:25:08.400 and support produce for heroes and our great veterans.
00:25:11.940 If you or a veteran you know needs help,
00:25:14.700 produceforheroes.com is a great place to start.
00:25:17.080 This is Brian Boucher, the new CEO of Connaught Gold Corp.

00:25:59.940 Support Canadian work and businesses today.
00:26:03.920 Anyway, carrying on, more of the woke BS and no merit, no problem.
00:26:08.740 Right?
00:26:09.600 It seems like we're getting that aspect everywhere too.
00:26:12.480 Look at the way our government was elected.
00:26:14.060 Right?
00:26:14.680 Justin Trudeau won 50-50 parody.
00:26:16.620 Why?
00:26:17.140 Because it's 2015.
00:26:18.680 Quote unquote, like he said.
00:26:20.060 Right?
00:26:21.480 How many of these people have gotten into trouble with misspending and lying and saying some really stupid things
00:26:26.700 and then crying victim when they get called upon it?
00:26:29.820 Right?
00:26:30.880 Like I've said numerous times, ladies and gentlemen, I don't care what gender you are.
00:26:34.520 I have worked with exceptional females in the Canadian forces, great females, and some great fucking female leaders.
00:26:41.460 Why?
00:26:42.100 Because they have what it took.
00:26:44.240 And they're still doing it today.
00:26:46.420 So if you're going to put someone in a position of authority, they've got to earn it, just like any man has to.
00:26:52.100 And that's not sexist to say.
00:26:54.440 Right?
00:26:55.480 Everybody's got to wait their turn one way to the other and train a bit here and train a bit there.
00:26:59.340 But the more you persevere, the more you try, the more you're going to get ahead.
00:27:03.240 And just because it doesn't happen when you snap your fingers when you want it, that doesn't mean your turn's not going to come.
00:27:10.500 Right?
00:27:10.860 So let's get rid of this victimhood bullshit.
00:27:14.080 Enough.
00:27:15.080 Enough is enough.
00:27:16.420 Okay?
00:27:17.920 You want people to be paid $3 or $4 million to do a movie?
00:27:21.900 Well, I want to see a $3 or $4 million fucking performance.
00:27:24.920 If I'm going to spend $10 or $15 to go to an actual theater, and in some cases $20 now, I want to be entertained.
00:27:34.320 I would like to be entertained.
00:27:36.300 That's the thing.
00:27:37.580 You know, you turn on a television show, you watch a TV show, you want to be entertained.
00:27:40.360 Who gives a fuck what the story is?
00:27:42.780 You want the characters to make you laugh, make you cry, make you dance.
00:27:46.160 Constantly going to throw the political fucking spectrum in there.
00:27:48.260 Jesus Christ, when Trump was president.
00:27:50.020 How many TV shows were so dead against Trump?
00:27:53.340 So dead against this, so dead against that.
00:27:55.460 Oh my God, orange man bad.
00:27:57.600 And he wasn't that bad, was he?
00:27:59.180 Really?
00:27:59.960 Was he a terrible fucking bigot and racist?
00:28:02.340 No.
00:28:03.420 The other side of the spectrum, constantly putting people into groups and segregating groups
00:28:06.940 and encouraging certain privileges for said groups.
00:28:10.800 That itself is bigotry, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:13.600 I don't care if you're gay, I don't care if you're straight, I don't care if you're bi or tri,
00:28:16.960 whatever fancy abbreviation that comes to terms.
00:28:20.400 I don't care who you sleep with.
00:28:22.660 Right?
00:28:23.100 If that's your claim to flame, then, well, sorry buddies, you got to work on that.
00:28:29.520 But if you go to work every day and be a good person and do what you can to help people out
00:28:33.900 to the best of your fucking ability, then it's not going to matter.
00:28:37.260 What you do in your bedroom or what your political stance is.
00:28:40.760 It's that simple.
00:28:42.680 But somewhere we forgot that.
00:28:44.660 So this brings me to the point of the show where we're going to have the polar vortex of
00:28:49.560 bullshit.
00:28:50.180 Yes.
00:28:50.900 One of my favorite parts, and I've actually had some fans come into that too.
00:28:55.220 But before we begin, it likes to remind my listeners too, that all these blowhards who
00:29:00.080 talk about fairness and equality and justice here and justice there, who end up going to
00:29:05.500 their bank account and seeing anywhere from seven to eight more digits in their bank.
00:29:10.220 Honestly, I'd like to say they deserve absolutely nothing.
00:29:16.260 Precisely.
00:29:17.040 You know, I don't care how many novels you write.
00:29:19.640 I don't care what you compose.
00:29:20.560 I don't care what your stance is and all that.
00:29:22.520 If you look at your bank account and you've got six figures or more, I think you're doing
00:29:26.380 okay.
00:29:27.620 All right.
00:29:28.140 I think you're doing all right.
00:29:30.160 And there's people I know in my life personally that have had six figures, had five figures,
00:29:35.780 had, had, past tense, had four figures.
00:29:39.280 And some of them now have maybe three figures left because of this year.
00:29:45.460 So when we look at the issue with the beer bug and look at the issue when it comes to all
00:29:50.200 this segregation, who's promoting the segregation and who's incorporating and encouraging the fear?
00:29:56.640 So I'll say again, those individuals that sit there and promote these virtue harps and talk
00:30:01.160 about fairness and equality, maybe you should start promoting that fairness and equality by
00:30:06.620 letting people just be and letting people thrive, regardless of how they sit on the political
00:30:12.220 fence.
00:30:12.600 Doesn't matter if you're Republican or Democrat, doesn't matter if you're liberal or conservative
00:30:16.180 or NDP or green, doesn't matter if you believe this Senator or that Senator, or you believe
00:30:20.860 this fucking MP or this MLA, let people be and let people thrive.
00:30:26.380 Because as far as I'm concerned, all these blowhards who make all this money telling us how to live
00:30:30.580 our fucking lives, how to pick our nose and wipe our butts again, you deserve.
00:30:34.600 Absolutely nothing.
00:30:38.480 Precisely.
00:30:39.320 Yes, of course.
00:30:40.880 Well, so they can all fuck off and kiss my Royal Canuck ass.
00:30:44.580 Anyway, like I said, Polar Vortex of Bullshit will go, today's episode, Polar Vortex of Bullshit
00:30:53.280 will go to none other than Ms. Catherine McKenna.
00:31:06.200 The Canadian Polar Vortex of Bullshit goes to Minister Ms. Catherine McKenna because she
00:31:16.120 did such a wonderful job being the Environment and Climate Minister, Climate Change Minister,
00:31:21.400 even though she encouraged the dumping of raw sewage into the St. Lawrence Seaway and Victoria
00:31:26.820 Harbour, and for accidentally misplacing certain funds of Canadian taxpayer dollars for the
00:31:33.720 sake of infrastructure in this country.
00:31:35.780 Well done, Madam McKenna.
00:31:37.600 And the next time someone spray paints some dirty words in your office, maybe you should
00:31:41.440 stand back and think about it and think about why they said that to you.
00:31:45.580 Well done in your ward, Madam.
00:31:46.980 You really suck.
00:31:49.400 The Canadian Polar Vortex of Bullshit.
00:31:54.940 Well done.
00:31:55.820 Anyway, carrying on.
00:31:56.640 More of the woke BS.
00:31:58.160 More of the no merit, no problem.
00:32:01.180 Right?
00:32:02.380 Now what gets me about this whole mandate now?
00:32:05.440 Again, still.
00:32:06.320 I hate it well, but I'm just trying to find something logical about it.
00:32:12.500 I really don't know.
00:32:13.680 I don't know what else to say.
00:32:15.400 Does anybody out in my audience have any answers?
00:32:21.340 Anyone?
00:32:22.140 Anyone?
00:32:23.720 Bueller?
00:32:25.220 Bueller?
00:32:28.100 Not that I expect anyone to call in at the moment, but I will be setting up my rig for
00:32:31.780 that sometime in the future, too.
00:32:34.080 And just a reminder, too, if you're liking to hear what you see, please consider joining
00:32:37.180 the Supercast page.

00:33:22.900 And a special mention out there to Adam Daniel-Mazzeh for being such a great support.
00:33:26.560 And thank you, everyone, who had come out to the Sunday Fastball.
00:33:31.360 Now, the next couple of weeks are going to be iffy with me, getting the podcast and everything
00:33:35.520 out.
00:33:36.380 I recently just got myself another part of employment.
00:33:39.760 It's going to help with the bills, so timings might be different.
00:33:42.820 And so please, again, pay attention to my community page on YouTube and my Facebook page
00:33:49.600 for updates, as well.
00:33:52.020 Keep yourself informed when new content's coming up by clicking the bell on YouTube.
00:33:56.520 And just pay attention to my updates as they come, ladies and gentlemen.
00:34:00.200 So this Thursday, I'm going to have a very, very special guest, too.
00:34:02.760 In the Thursday Fastball, I'm going to have Miss Elle Cousins, YouTuber, truther, political
00:34:08.740 junkie.
00:34:09.860 And here's some really good news, folks.
00:34:12.240 Thanks, especially to my trans audience out there.
00:34:15.400 This lady now, well, she's a full-blooded biological female now, too.
00:34:22.080 She was living as a man, became trans a few years ago, and decided to go under the knife.
00:34:27.100 So now she is a full-fledged female.
00:34:29.640 So we're going to have an interesting talk about that, her transition, the politics with
00:34:33.020 it, some of the politics she's incurred, and some of the BS she's had to put up with some
00:34:38.260 real nasty people out there.
00:34:40.120 And it'll be ironic to hear my audience, or it'll be ironic for you, my audience, to hear
00:34:45.080 what she has to say about some of the belligerent people, on what side of the fence they sit on.
00:34:50.000 So please, please pay attention to that.
00:34:52.500 This Thursday at 4 o'clock Mountain Standard Time, I'll have a nice chat with Miss Elle Cousins
00:34:58.320 there.
00:34:59.380 Like I said, YouTuber, free thinker, political junkie, truther, whatever you want to call her.
00:35:03.980 So anyway, stay tuned for that.
00:35:06.560 And of course, stick around every Sunday, too, for the Sunday Fastball, where I sit with
00:35:10.560 Adam Daniel-Mazze, Chris, the Veterans Veritas, Semchuk, Gabriel Scheer, and we have a newcomer,
00:35:17.820 Fred Stockman.
00:35:18.660 I'll leave the links in my description where you can catch that, too.
00:35:22.420 And we just sit, talk around politics, shop, social, all that good stuff that's affecting
00:35:28.220 us Canadians and North Americans today, too.
00:35:30.800 So pay attention to that as well, ladies and gentlemen.
00:35:34.020 Anyway, carrying on again with more woke crap from the Oscars and more woke crap in general.
00:35:40.000 Now, for me, in the military, I had to earn my positions.
00:35:43.380 You have to get your ticks in the box every year based on your performance, attitude, demonstration,
00:35:49.000 all that good stuff.
00:35:50.260 And so far, I see people getting handed trophies and tickets and prizes just for being whatever.
00:35:57.760 What kind of incentive is that, right?
00:36:01.800 No one's questioning the credibility of anybody of this group or that group, but it kind of
00:36:09.180 insults the craft of acting and creating when you constantly have to worry about what group
00:36:14.380 someone's from rather than the actual scale of their performance, right?
00:36:19.580 Meriting.
00:36:20.340 It works.
00:36:22.140 Well, meritocracy is a good thing.
00:36:23.820 That's what keeps things together.
00:36:26.120 If you come from a college or university and you demand fairness and equality, and yet
00:36:31.200 you don't have any foundation to base it on, i.e.
00:36:34.160 real lived experience, real life experience, then you basically haven't earned your part
00:36:39.600 yet, right?
00:36:40.660 It doesn't matter what degree you have until you start using that degree in practical
00:36:44.900 means, and then it means shit as far as I'm concerned.
00:36:49.180 That's just my opinion.
00:36:50.140 Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:36:50.920 But I've had a couple debates with people with history degrees, and they knew fuck all about
00:36:58.360 the Upper Canada Rebellion, or they knew fuck all about the War of 1812, or they knew sweet
00:37:02.560 F.A. about the real Cinco de Mayo, about the French fucking with the Mexicans and Mexicans
00:37:09.120 kicking ass.
00:37:10.020 So there's a perspective right there, right?
00:37:13.600 But, you know, who am I?
00:37:15.060 I'm just some crusty Canuck.
00:37:17.500 And, you know, ladies and gentlemen, like I say, let's keep our chins up and do what
00:37:21.520 we can for this great country.
00:37:23.840 Let's look after our neighbors, do what we can to help each other out.
00:37:27.640 And like I say, please pay attention to my community page on YouTube and Facebook alike.
00:37:34.100 Look for updates, what have you.
00:37:35.440 And, you know, I'll try to get another episode up probably Friday, but tune in this Thursday
00:37:39.860 where I have a nice conversation with Miss L. Cousins there, too.
00:37:43.020 And stick around for Sunday's Fastball as well.
00:37:46.740 You know, just keep an eye on the ground for updates, what have you.
00:37:49.660 And please consider checking out my shop and all that, too.
00:37:52.620 And consider following Adam Daniel Mazze at maze.ca, Fred Stockman, and Frank P. Vaughn,
00:38:00.540 another great Canadian.
00:38:02.080 Very informative.
00:38:02.880 And just down-to-earth, and just a really good fucking guy to talk to.
00:38:08.280 So do what you can, folks, to help each other out to the best of your ability.
00:38:11.940 Keep our chins up, and we will find light in this tunnel.
00:38:16.100 Right?
00:38:16.740 And like I always say, humanity and merit wins the day.
00:38:22.060 Take care, and we'll see you next time.
00:38:24.500 Bye for now.
00:38:29.080 Hit it, sweetheart.
00:38:31.320 Because I am hard.
00:38:32.880 You will not like me.
00:38:34.200 Yes, sir.
00:38:37.800 There is no racial bigotry here.
00:38:42.380 There you are always going to work.
00:38:46.100 This has been another episode of the Krusty Canuck Podcast.
00:38:49.780 Stay sane.
00:38:50.700 And thank you for listening.
00:38:51.820 From Western Canada, this is the Krusty Canuck Podcast.
00:38:55.580 We'll see you next time.
00:38:56.020 We'll see you next time.
00:38:56.360 , sir.
00:38:56.640 Thank you.
00:38:57.300 We'll see you next time.
00:38:58.760 We'll see you next time.
00:38:59.220 You're corners.

00:39:01.380 This is the Krusty Canuck Podcast.
00:39:02.000 We'll see you next time.
00:39:02.560 We'll see you next time.
00:39:03.180 All right.
00:39:03.800 We'll see you next time.
00:39:04.300 We'll see you next time.
00:39:04.960 And next time.
