ontario quebec are feeling record temperatures in canada because you know we're not always known for
00:02:37.840
summer right but i remember hot summers as a kid and i remember hot summers as a teenager
00:02:42.260
in my 20s 30s and 40s respectively and i really don't give a shit what the so-called experts say
00:02:48.780
when it comes to climate catastrophe it is not a fucking catastrophe ladies and gentlemen it is not
00:02:54.800
okay when i was in the military when i went to afghanistan we're all carrying anywhere between about 90
00:03:01.640
pounds to 100 pounds to 120 pounds of kit on us in the afghan summer that means in july in the desert
00:03:09.560
we're all loaded up ready for battle sweating our asses off and nobody ever said okay troops come out
00:03:15.880
from patrols because you know climate change and all we gotta want your safety anyway i'm gonna read a
00:03:20.320
article here from from ctv and add some articles here uh basically it's i still laugh at it my buddy
00:03:30.200
paul in ontario basically made a bit of a mockery out of the whole thing and i'm for protecting people
00:03:36.360
that work for you i'm pretend i i i'm a firm believer in letting people be safe in the workplace
00:03:42.360
okay but if you're a taxpayer in a major city like toronto and you want to take your kids your loved
00:03:48.040
ones to the pool because it's a fucking hot day and the city turns around and closes it on you
00:03:53.120
you've got every right to be pissed huh wouldn't you you've got every right to be mad considering
00:04:00.220
city taxes in that city have gone up because of olivia chow right you know a little rub and tug
00:04:05.380
you know where's ben bank is meaning but uh i just i just shake my head at the buffoonery of this
00:04:11.460
and i'll cue this video up here uh for you and of course the mayor uh she does apologize for the uh
00:04:17.640
idiocy that was brought to her by uh you know the i guess what were they called a position the rec
00:04:23.360
the rec council whoever's in charge of recreation in the city of toronto you know i am sure they've
00:04:28.640
you know had to eat crow one way or the other but uh here's a story from ctv in regards to that
00:04:35.500
ladies and gentlemen and like i say you just decide amongst yourselves i put the captions up there
00:04:40.180
so you can read along if you can't hear it adjust your volume accordingly ladies and gentlemen
00:04:44.120
hate for many families in these sweltering conditions so why in the height of the heat
00:04:48.740
wave were a handful of pools closed yesterday toronto's mayor offering an apology as she faced
00:04:54.480
some serious questions about staffing at city facilities today ctv's allison hurst reports
00:05:00.260
during toronto's first heat wave of the year five of the city's public pools were closed yesterday
00:05:06.580
it should not happen we should do better a handwritten note taped to the front door of sunnyside pool
00:05:12.440
claimed it was too hot for city staff to work outside that's silly i mean it's it's a hot day we
00:05:18.020
should be swimming that's the point they should do something to protect the staff but also to allow
00:05:23.860
us to go in because it's really really hot leaving families looking to cool off stuck in the heat
00:05:29.440
they were closed for one hours two hours three hours they they were technically open they just had a
00:05:36.120
closure period they were longer because the lifeguards were feeling really hot according to city
00:05:42.420
staff the intermittent closures were necessary in order to let lifeguards cool down following
00:05:46.880
provincial requirements related to heat and humidex levels exceeding 45 the premier weighed in on the
00:05:52.840
closure on news talk 10 10 today there was no minister of labor inspector that called up and said shut
00:05:59.040
down the pools she's citing uh maybe the the labor rules and like you said those labor rules are
00:06:05.940
specifically for hard-working people like you said pouring asphalt and and uh you know opposed to
00:06:12.900
sitting by a swimming pool that can jump in anytime and cool down by 3 p.m sunnyside pool had reopened and
00:06:20.080
stayed open through the evening this is just another case of the mayor not being properly prepared in a
00:06:25.040
statement today the city announced it would be deploying additional lifeguards to manage rest and work
00:06:30.000
schedules in this heat to ensure pools stay open in nowhere here is she who is the manager of the city
00:06:36.700
the top person in the city taking any responsibility mayor olivia chow is bringing a motion to city council
00:06:42.960
to address gaps in toronto's heat relief strategy residents expect us to do better and we must do better
00:06:50.080
all public pools are open some with extended hours until almost midnight allison hurst ctv news
00:06:56.480
yeah there you have it ladies and gentlemen i think it's just a matter of poor judgment
00:07:01.600
and poor management i don't think it has anything to freaking do with you know the lack of funds i
00:07:06.600
think it's just poor management right honestly okay what the hottest days of the year and then you get
00:07:11.900
these morons in bureaucracy let's close the pool because gotta worry about a handful of lifeguards
00:07:16.740
you know what i mean we gotta worry about these individuals you know don't want them to getting hurt
00:07:20.880
i just said i spent about six months in a desert wearing about 90 pounds a kit
00:07:25.400
about 15 years ago okay and you're worried about a handful of lifeguards interesting concept right
00:07:33.260
much a bunch of bullshit that's all it is you know where do we lose focus on getting priorities done
00:07:40.840
working for your fellow man or woman right like you saw the sign there it looked like it was written
00:07:46.440
in crayon for crying out loud i don't want to work today that's what i come out to
00:07:50.360
right i tell you some people's kids ladies and gentlemen some people's children you know it's
00:07:57.120

bills and ideas when it comes to safety anyway i carry on so in recent news to our beloved blarney
00:09:35.840
carney mr prime minister blarney carney in europe securing a deal with europe
00:09:40.540
basically you know and here comes something from the watchtowers.org you know i guess it's as far
00:09:47.540
as i know it's a lefty side of things but i will cue this up here and i will definitely give you my
00:09:53.000
point of view on how canada should smarten up when it comes to defense procurement and partnerships
00:09:58.380
but i will leave that after i read this little article from these wonderful people you know it's just
00:10:04.620
it's interesting how some of these individuals uh that work for our behalf really don't think about
00:10:10.340
the long-term effect of their decisions right they don't think about the consequences ladies
00:10:15.020
gentlemen anyhow this is from um the watchtowers.org okay global headlines and i'll leave this link in my
00:10:24.280
description for you too so basically canada signs a landmark eu defense pact 237 billion dollars in
00:10:32.320
arms procurement fund now brussels prime minister mark carney cemented canada strategic pivot towards
00:10:38.160
european defense partnerships monday signing a historic security agreement with the european union
00:10:43.380
that includes participation in 150 billion euro correction or well 150 billion euro 237 billion joint
00:10:50.740
arms procurement fund the pact finalized at eu canada summit in brussels signals reduced reliance
00:10:57.220
on u.s military suppliers amid escalating global tensions okay key agreement from these uh the key
00:11:03.100
details in this agreement canada will successfully okay will action canada will access the eu strategic
00:11:10.460
armaments financing entity called safe a five-year loan facility enabling collaborative military
00:11:16.500
equipment purchases ottawa only repays drawn amounts not the full 150 billion pool of euro dollars the deal
00:11:24.240
also commits both parties to joint responses to cyber hybrid and space threats and hence i like that
00:11:30.560
space threats oh there's aliens coming oh my who's going oh jesus christ yes oh yes new negotiations on ai
00:11:39.020
standards and data governance okay now listen to that carefully new negotiations on ai standards
00:11:46.480
and data governance keep that in the back of your mind ladies and gentlemen okay
00:11:52.340
governance we don't need any more governance when it comes to our life online geopolitical shifts the
00:11:58.680
signing coincided with heightened global instability summit talks originally focused on ukraine
00:12:03.540
shifted to middle east tensions after former u.s president donald j trump strikes on iranian nuclear facilities
00:12:09.600
as eu president ursula von der lian declared in a new era of cooperation rotors reported the summit was far
00:12:17.740
from business as usual defense spending overhaul carney acknowledged canada's over reliance on u.s arms
00:12:23.340
noting 80 percent of defense budgets flow to american suppliers at tuesday's nato summit in the hag
00:12:29.460
uh he'll endorse raising alliance spending targets from two percent to five percent of gdp a threshold
00:12:36.680
missed under predecessor justin trudeau canada aims to hit the two percent by 2025 up from 1.4 percent
00:12:43.720
in 2024 okay now carney also said too a little while ago that he wants to reach the two percent by next
00:12:53.720
year at this time okay that means new ships new fighter jets new recruits new training and now
00:13:00.660
they want to raise the pay of the soldiers too now a lot of that is gravy okay verbal gravy because from
00:13:08.020
the time i was in the military when jean crachet increased our pay or give us back pay based on the
00:13:13.380
pay freeze that the first liberal government in the early 90s did to our military a lot of things got
00:13:19.040
retroactive yeah a few more bucks in our bank but listen to this though okay if you're living on base
00:13:24.700
in the military you get a pay raise guess who else gets a pay raise the housing authority okay other
00:13:32.020
things magically go up in cost too so you can talk about a 20 pay raise which is fantastic for the men
00:13:37.580
and women serving our beloved country but you also get other interests who get their fingers in the
00:13:42.340
pie too something to think about okay all right economic implications of this issue here too
00:13:49.900
okay now the eu seeks expanded canadian liquefied natural gas okay to my quebecer friends out there
00:13:58.340
who said there's no market for canadian natural gas it's right fucking there in front of you okay
00:14:03.100
the eu seeks expanded canadian liquefied natural gas lng the economic implication
00:14:11.800
the european union not just europe or a handful of countries the whole union okay is seeking
00:14:18.240
canadian natural gas i said it my separatist friends put that in your pipe and smoke it okay
00:14:24.300
and critical mineral exports to reduce dependence on china and the u.s this follows similar packs with
00:14:30.960
the uk and ongoing talks with south korea an eu official told the financial times the deal represents a
00:14:37.480
comprehensive framework as we can offer a third country okay now i'll leave this link in the
00:14:44.680
description for you ladies and gentlemen okay it's self-explanatory all right you can sit until the
00:14:52.260
cows come home and talk about how we've got to worry about our friends here our friends there
00:14:58.140
it's a great deal on paper but here's the reality of the situation here's the reality of canada
00:15:05.280
we don't have a lot of this we don't have a lot of the coin anymore because yours truly my wife and
00:15:11.100
my friends and their two friends and their two friends and so on and so on and my family and
00:15:15.400
their families and so on and so on are paying taxes through the fucking hoop to pay off this national
00:15:20.680
debt okay to work on this whole you know carbon capture to go through this net zero bullshit that
00:15:27.200
the carny clan keeps pushing down our throats okay and it's not right
00:15:32.000
notice too that the blarney carny clan has constantly taken talking points from the
00:15:38.240
conservative platform prior to our federal election prior to the 28th of april okay oh we have to
00:15:44.460
upgrade our military oh no the ridables are doing it now finally they only had 10 years prior to upgrade
00:15:48.420
our military okay no longer can they use the excuses about what harper did prior to 2015 i think
00:15:55.480
every prime minister has been guilty of fucking our military since the better part of 1968
00:15:59.520
let alone what stephen harper did or what jean crachet did or what paul martin did or what brian
00:16:04.960
marooney did or did not do you know parts thereof right the world is changing you've seen the hype
00:16:14.200
with donald trump getting pissed off at israel and iran because he negotiated a deal and someone
00:16:20.100
fucked that up do you blame israel do you blame iran who do you know what to blame but us as
00:16:25.480
canadians we should be worrying about what's going on in canada okay yes pay attention to what our
00:16:30.900
allies are doing pay attention what's going on here pay attention what's going on here but focus
00:16:35.300
on what's going on in the true north focus on what's happening here can we do that folks
00:16:41.960
where are the elbows up crowds right now where are they where's the big elbow up protesters
00:16:50.340
screwing the fucking pooch that's what they're doing licking their wounds because you got lied to
00:17:02.800
you got played that's what happened so regardless of where you sit on the fence whether you're liberal
00:17:09.640
or conservative or lay black or what's left at the end ap or whatever independent greenie is looking
00:17:17.600
after elizabeth may's drinking problem all right it doesn't matter you got played folks we're getting
00:17:24.080
played again so who knows we'll have to see the by-elections that come up too i hope pauliev does
00:17:30.260
get back into parliament and start kicking ass taking names but in the same sense what's good for this
00:17:35.720
part of the country is to work on the equalization issues let's look at the separation issues with a
00:17:43.340
fine-tooth comb really analyze them okay i've been seeing a lot of things on twitter i know or x formerly
00:17:50.840
known as twitter okay even on tiktok of all places yes i'm on tiktok ladies and gentlemen you can find
00:17:55.540
the crusty up podcast little tidbits on tiktok just look for crusty canuck if you can i'll be putting
00:18:00.820
some more features on this evening as we speak after i make this uh lovely lovely podcast anyway
00:18:06.080
i'm digressing right we we are we are seeing a lot of buffoonery out there how else do you explain it
00:18:14.260
now it's good that canada is negotiating certain trade deals it's it's good that canada is negotiating
00:18:19.000
uh the whole lng thing too but then again mark carney was also quoted saying he's not going to get rid
00:18:23.740
of bill c69 okay to my american listeners out there bill c69 basically stops oil production
00:18:30.600
doesn't stop it it just you know keeps it at a dull roar okay no new pipelines david eby the prime
00:18:38.220
minister not prime minister the premier of british columbia doesn't want a pipeline then he does want
00:18:43.480
a pipeline and he doesn't want a pipeline then he wants a pipeline okay sounds like a fucking prom date
00:18:48.500
they can't make up her mind that's that's the best analogy i can think of for politicians like that
00:18:55.380
not to mention the jobs that will give the first nations and there's a lot of first nations especially
00:18:59.720
out here in in alberta that want a piece of that pie and i think they deserve a good chunk of it too
00:19:04.900
right i think they deserve a healthy fucking chunk of it not because of historical values or uh you know
00:19:11.360
people saying uh you know land acknowledgements it's a matter of treating people like people with
00:19:16.040
fucking courtesy and the federal government has still failed to do that honestly they have failed
00:19:23.460

you're in the trenches in france in 1917 or you know picking up fucking landmines in 2017
00:21:48.080
the enemy doesn't give a shit right so let's think about that so all these social engineers that sat in
00:21:55.620
these think tanks throughout the years trying to come up with a great a great equal plan y'all fucked
00:22:01.000
up that's what i can say right if the powers that be at ndhq were smart they'd advertise put some more
00:22:09.800
commercials up there to advertise a military not a thumber camp or a thing thong advertise a military
00:22:16.220
so people would be proud to fucking join do their part you know whether it be for king or country or
00:22:21.260
just for the maple leaf itself right shit simple but hey i'm digressing here i know these deals just
00:22:27.820
seem a little too far-fetched to me it's good that europe shows an interest it's good that there might
00:22:33.800
be a deal in the long run too but the problem we have here in canada ladies and gentlemen is the
00:22:38.640
procurements the procurement sides of things it doesn't matter if it's getting ships or airplanes
00:22:44.640
cars tires chalk markers crayons it doesn't matter it doesn't matter the procurement boards are fucked
00:22:55.040
right because everybody in these boards has to get their piece of the pie note how i said piece of the
00:23:00.980
pie they all got to get their share get their piece of this piece of that to okay this and okay that
00:23:06.540
you know what kind of tires would be good for these trucks in this place what kind of what kind of
00:23:10.940
paint should we use for this what kind of a tool should we use for that oh we have to sit and weigh
00:23:15.600
the odds and trial after trial and trial no whatever works get it it means you got to get something off
00:23:21.120
the shelf hey fuck it get it off the shelf it doesn't matter it doesn't right that's how a lot of
00:23:28.760
businesses run this country oh we need a certain tool for this oh we need a certain oh well what's
00:23:33.960
available okay what can we afford sure done give me 20 or give me 30 boom boom boom done right a lot
00:23:40.860
of store chains do that if you're gonna run the business like a military then maybe you should
00:23:44.320
run like a business think about what is good in the long run what is the foreseeable future what is
00:23:48.940
that what the circumstances happen if you buy the shitty one or the poor one or worry about it if
00:23:56.100
it's made in quebec or wherever it's made in manitoba what's going to work that's the problem
00:24:01.260
and we find things that work all the time but a lot of the powers that be that sign the checks and
00:24:06.840
sign the deals they don't give a shit about that they worry about what's so canadian well then
00:24:11.360
upgrade our industry in order to upgrade our industry you have to keep government out of it
00:24:16.260
in order to update and to bring our industry into a buying and selling term keep the government
00:24:22.220
regulations out of it we've seen that with our oil we've seen that with our minerals right we've seen
00:24:28.180
that how much government regulations are putting a stranglehold on our industries as we speak
00:24:32.960
we have to get rid of them it's that simple get rid of the regulations not the industries create
00:24:38.100
more industries you want to attract people to canada to invest to give people good jobs keep the
00:24:44.560
government out of it okay and i'm not saying don't follow any rule fucking anarchy chaos rah rah
00:24:51.360
rah i am saying keep government regulations at bay so if a polluter does come and does something
00:24:56.660
stupid then you nail the individuals that make the mess not the taxpayer
00:25:01.740
okay and if you if you invest in something in this country have it be an investment don't just
00:25:09.360
say it's an investment what happened to the stalantis deal how many billions have been lost how many
00:25:15.340
billions were lost in the honda deal right because the government bought the investment they bought
00:25:20.840
the investment they didn't create one they bought one and now we're on the hook for another 10 billion
00:25:25.880
dollars where to go where is it where to go every fiscal year we got to pay for it again
00:25:33.420
that's what it is right so you get these people in toronto that want to shut down a pool because they
00:25:39.620
worry about staff when they should be worried about the actual taxpayers okay and you get these morons
00:25:45.980
making these decisions in ottawa like is there something in the water that they're drinking that gives
00:25:51.460
them these this these ideas these great ideas the good luck fairies come around and tap on the
00:25:55.660
shoulder thing close everything down make people spend more money and this weather when it's hot
00:26:02.680
the first thing you do is you drink more water you hydrate that we don't have to put little crayon
00:26:08.100
signs saying pool is closed are you not encouraging your children or young people to drink more water
00:26:13.180
hot days you should that's what i was told as a kid on your thursday drink some water
00:26:18.920
you know the generation x thing drinking out of the hose yeah i did that a lot i'm still here
00:26:23.920
maybe that's why i got bald earlier but still i still drink out of the hose drink raw milk still here
00:26:30.980
right so we got to shift ourselves back to pragmatism again ladies and gentlemen common sense
00:26:37.920
have people smashing those doors saying open up the fucking pool it's hot outside city taxes pay for
00:26:44.480
this knocking the doors saying uh how about some better deals for canadians rather than political
00:26:49.860
elites that say they represent canada you know i mean but that's just my take though ladies and
00:26:54.740
gentlemen let me know what you think of the comments too let me know give me a thumbs up if you
00:26:58.340
see this being premiered don't be shy and just a reminder too ladies and gentlemen it's still june
00:27:03.720
there's still like another six days in june and i'd like to remind my fan base and to any men out
00:27:09.020
there too june is men's mental health awareness month okay and there are still some problems that
00:27:17.160
i've seen uh through the past couple of weeks uh some of the guys i've talked to some of the guys
00:27:21.740
i've worked with some old veterans some old army buddies and believe it or not ladies and gentlemen
00:27:27.280
there's still a lot of men out there hurting okay there's a lot of good people out there hurting
00:27:32.140
now i'm not saying uh pay attention to men's mental issues all the time but we're at a point
00:27:39.320
where everything has to be celebrated for a month or for a week be aware okay if you have a brother
00:27:47.580
or a boyfriend or a husband or a co-worker that you're quite fond of and i don't mean like in love
00:27:54.480
with i mean if you have some real compassion for the guys you work with watch each other
00:28:01.380
check each other okay doesn't matter what your political belief is doesn't matter what kind of
00:28:08.200
career you have or what what your sexual orientation is watch each other ask yourself the tough questions
00:28:15.780
ask them some tough questions hey are you okay you need to talk to somebody
00:28:20.620
that's the thing and i can honestly say that a lot of us men we're always taught to
00:28:27.880
shut our mouths not express that we got to start okay and i'm not trying to slam women here that's the
00:28:39.540
last thing i want to do because i'm married to a great woman but if a man's opening up to you
00:28:47.160
the best thing you can do the best thing you can do listen that is all you don't have to entertain
00:28:57.960
a fantasy you don't have to do anything extraordinary you don't have to get yourself an only fans account
00:29:02.280
to make some extra money just listen listen to his heart and listen to yours that's all
00:29:11.140
be there be that pillar be that support that's what counts okay and that's i'm going to say about
00:29:20.100
the mental health issues a lot of us face because yours truly is no i do suffer from ptsd
00:29:24.780
i do i get little reminders here and there little jabs little just that little that
00:29:30.000
and it can be overwhelming but i have little mechanisms and little techniques i do to keep
00:29:37.760
things at bay right and if anyone's out there listening who has the same issues as i do
00:29:43.720
don't hesitate to write me an email man or sir or madam i try to be as open and honest as possible
00:29:52.060
