The Crusty Canuck Podcast - Remembrance and RAGE! EP#315

00:00:00.420 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's a beautiful 10th of November, 2024.

00:00:05.200 Coming up with the Crusting Up podcast, episode 315, Remembrance and Rage.

00:00:10.880 Yes, my reflection on my time in the military and why Remembrance Day is so important.

00:00:14.700 And of course, more criticism to our buffoonery of our federal government 1.00

00:00:19.440 and some of the stupid decisions they have made in the past week. 1.00

00:00:23.720 Tsk, tsk, tsk. All that and more coming up with the show, ladies and gentlemen. 1.00

00:00:26.980 Please stick around. Listener of your discretion is advised, because I will swear.

00:00:30.880 Smoke a cigarette, make some funny faces, and make fun of the idiocy we call our government. 0.99

00:00:36.520 Stick around. 1.00

00:00:41.020 Hit it, sweetheart. 1.00

00:00:43.240 Because I am hard, you will not like me.

00:00:46.100 Yes, sir.

00:00:49.660 There is no racial bigotry here.

00:00:54.240 There you are all.

00:00:56.980 From Western Canada, this is the Crusty Canuck podcast, a Canadian veteran's point of view

00:01:05.140 on political, social, economic issues, and life.

00:01:09.320 Here's Crusty.

00:01:12.260 That's right, ladies and gentlemen.

00:01:13.780 How are you?

00:01:14.480 It's been a while since we last talked.

00:01:15.960 I'm your host, Crusty Canuck.

00:01:17.400 I know I've been kind of tardy the past few days, but just a reminder, too, if you like and hear what you'll see,

00:01:23.480 please click, like, subscribe, share this podcast, all your social media platforms, and do not be shy, ladies and gentlemen.

00:01:30.000 I've been really, really working a hell of a lot of hours the past little while.

00:01:33.500 So I have been detained, needless to say, with my work schedule and trying to make ends meet based on the way things are going in this country right now and our bills and some little debt that I do have.

00:01:46.840 I've just been finding it really, really difficult to keep things afloat here, too.

00:01:53.120 So just like I say, if you like and hear what you see, click, like, subscribe, share, and comment, please.

00:01:57.960 Every little thumbs up and comment helps the algorithm, helps us, Canucks, to get our words out there.

00:02:03.120 I notice my microphone keeps shifting here.

00:02:05.260 I've been messing around with it for a while.

00:02:07.420 Needless to say, I am persevering.

00:02:09.840 So if I've got to hold it, I hold it.

00:02:11.780 Anyhow, as the title card says, you know, heroes and zeros are remembering.

00:02:15.620 So tomorrow is Remembrance Day, ladies and gentlemen.

00:02:18.260 And I'm not going to sit and put any more features.

00:02:21.180 I'm not going to put any more videos up for this episode.

00:02:24.540 I'm just going to keep things pretty simple and just reflect on my time in the military and why Remembrance Day is so important.

00:02:32.300 And, of course, criticizing the federal government as we speak. 0.99

00:02:35.100 It wouldn't be a proper podcast if I didn't, you know, criticize the government at least once or twice and promote some of their idiocy. 0.94

00:02:45.040 You know, this week, I guess, Sackville, Nova Scotia or Sackville Heights Secondary School put it out that they didn't want any veterans there in uniform. 0.94

00:02:55.620 Right now, they kind of backstabbed, doubled back and changed their minds because there was an outrage for that, too.

00:03:02.440 So it just goes to show there's still facets in this country that don't appreciate the veteran.

00:03:09.580 And prior to my departure from the military, prior to a couple of promotions there, I did some speaking engagements at my brother-in-law's school and told kids some stories and what I did and what it's like in the military.

00:03:22.820 And I gave them a little display and what we wear, a rucksack and our tactical vest and everything to give them insight and what it's like being a soldier.

00:03:32.420 And when I reflect on that, it reminds me of some real good times and it reminds me of some bad times.

00:03:39.640 However, that's par for service.

00:03:41.980 That's par for course.

00:03:42.940 That's what you do.

00:03:43.780 And this Remembrance Day really is no different than any other other than my own personal reflections, my own personal doubts, what ifs, what have you, and how I'm thankful that I survived.

00:04:03.120 And how I do remember some of the men and women that I served with and some of those lads that aren't with us today.

00:04:14.300 Some of the revelations that I've woken up to and some hard truths we all had to swallow.

00:04:23.740 And when you look at the state of the world right now in regards to what's happening in Europe and what might be happening with Taiwan and China and what just might be happening in general.

00:04:38.080 We still have to take time and recognize and appreciate those who fell before us, those who are serving right now, who are willing to commit the ultimate sacrifice in the name of this country and in the name of our friends down south, in the name of our friends across the Atlantic, and in the name of what's right for you and your families.

00:05:08.080 So, before I get sentimental here, I just want to know that tomorrow is a special day for a lot of us, especially a lot of us Canucks.

00:05:21.200 And regardless of the political drama that has been plaguing our country the past 10 years, and especially plaguing our military, stand on guard for the, stand up for what's right, stand up for what's good for you and your families, stand up what's right for freedom.

00:05:43.440 And I'm not talking freedom as in some cheesy 80s patriotic TV movie.

00:05:49.440 I'm talking about what's good for you, to all of you out there, the freedom to go out and speak and trade, to go out and dance and be married, to go out and have fun with your loved ones, no matter who you love, no matter what you love.

00:06:06.980 And every November 11th, yeah, I get a little emotional and I remember things and things come back and little pockets, little blurbs.

00:06:22.180 As you know, ladies and gentlemen, I do suffer from PTSD.

00:06:26.280 I was diagnosed back in 2017 and I was medically released from the military in 2018.

00:06:31.300 So I gave it a good solid, solid 20 years. 1.00

00:06:36.960 And sometimes things come back and hit you like a ton of shit. 0.99

00:06:41.060 And I have coping mechanisms and I have ways to deal with certain traumas and I have ways to live and overcome. 0.99

00:06:53.920 Without sounding like a Clint Eastwood movie, I have overcame and I've adapted and I've done my best to help some others who have reached out to me and I've talked to them and things I've recommended to them.

00:07:06.440 So this Remembrance Day, think about the individuals that have committed the sacrifice.

00:07:12.900 And I personally don't care if you believe in this or believe in that, as long as you believe in yourself and you believe what's around you.

00:07:20.540 And always remember, too, there is people that have died for that.

00:07:26.460 And regardless of how political you may be or how political you may not be, there are people that have come before us who have laid down their lives.

00:07:38.860 And there are people that I served with who laid down their lives.

00:07:43.900 And some of us aren't grateful enough.

00:07:49.060 So if you're at a cenotaph tomorrow, if you're at any kind of place of worship, let us remember those men and women that signed the dotted line or signed the check.

00:08:07.700 And they did something.

00:08:10.800 Something well beyond some of these generations' understanding.

00:08:16.460 I'll be back after this.

00:08:19.060 Stay updated.

00:08:31.640 And we're back, ladies and gentlemen.

00:08:33.420 Welcome to the Krusty Canuck Podcast.

00:08:34.720 Once again, episode 315, Remembrance and Rage.

00:08:39.160 So like I said, without getting sentimental, I spent some time in Afghanistan, saw action in Afghanistan.

00:08:43.760 There's a few lads that I've served with over the years who saw a hell of a lot more than I did.

00:08:49.320 Some more than they did, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

00:08:52.780 I'm not going to have a pissing contest.

00:08:54.560 Who did more?

00:08:55.340 Who saw more?

00:08:56.720 Let's just say I saw enough.

00:08:58.460 I saw enough, and I don't want to see any more. 0.99

00:09:03.620 So as I remember my fallen comrades, I am raging because we have a government in this country that just doesn't give a shit. 0.99

00:09:11.240 Like I said about that high school, they basically stood back and let the veterans wear their uniforms. 0.99

00:09:17.300 Well, it was national news, and it's kind of insulting. 0.63

00:09:23.040 So if any educators are watching right now or listening to this podcast, smarten the fuck up. 0.89

00:09:31.280 Okay?

00:09:32.800 And don't hand the excuses about inclusion or comfort or offense to any in regards to students or other faculty members in any administrative conglomerate.

00:09:46.040 Okay?

00:09:47.860 Or any administrative capacity.

00:09:49.820 Because when you tell a veteran he can't wear his uniform on a day of remembrance, that's like telling a gay person they can't wave the pride flag during pride week. 0.63

00:09:59.960 You know what I mean?

00:10:03.580 That's like telling someone like me I can't have this on my head or have it on my wall.

00:10:10.620 Okay? 0.74

00:10:11.020 So any of those administrators there who are behind people that make these decisions, smarten the fuck up.

00:10:19.100 You don't have to agree with it.

00:10:20.880 You don't have to like it.

00:10:22.160 But it's a bitter reality that some of these men and women have gone through.

00:10:26.000 Something you'll never comprehend.

00:10:29.000 Okay?

00:10:30.500 So keep that in mind.

00:10:32.700 Keep that in mind too when you're addressing firefighters and police officers and paramedics and ER specialists.

00:10:39.700 Because you'd be surprised to see how many of those individuals spent some time in uniform as well.

00:10:46.440 So something to think about, ladies and gentlemen.

00:10:49.760 Okay?

00:10:49.980 I'm not going to totally rage here during this podcast.

00:10:53.660 Once again, my apologies for not keeping you all posted on things.

00:10:58.400 It's just my wife and I are having a difficult time trying to keep things afloat.

00:11:03.540 And so many other Canadians out there too in this name of democracy and fairness and all this other garbage that the federal government wants to ram down our throats.

00:11:13.040 And I'm just not impressed.

00:11:16.340 And neither should you, ladies and gentlemen.

00:11:17.740 I'm not impressed at all with some of the BS that our federal government has been ramming down our throats.

00:11:25.620 Right?

00:11:26.720 Especially this week in light of certain individuals that have been named by that reporter.

00:11:32.380 Four individuals.

00:11:33.680 Association with David Eby out of BC.

00:11:36.120 And other associations and other just failures to let us know who's been screwing the pooch.

00:11:42.560 Right?

00:11:45.000 Recently, it was just discovered, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, that $54 million is being sent to Africa.

00:11:51.880 Because Justin Trudeau thinks it's Canada's duty to help Africa out.

00:11:55.740 Now, I'm not against helping little guys out that need it.

00:11:59.380 But we have roughly 2 million people that have relied on food banks in this country.

00:12:05.300 And we have a federal government giving away $54 million.

00:12:08.480 So what's that tell you?

00:12:10.480 Right?

00:12:13.160 Yeah, the same old regurgitation since 2015.

00:12:15.620 And we have sitting MPs that would sooner wait it out, wait out the storm to collect their pensions rather than do the honorable thing instead of actually looking after people in this country.

00:12:33.260 Right?

00:12:34.000 So that tells you a hell of a lot, ladies and gentlemen. 1.00

00:12:36.260 So this Remembers Day, when you lay down a poppy or you give two minutes of silence at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, think about the idiocy. 0.98

00:12:46.900 And think about the sham. 0.99

00:12:50.260 Think about the real sham.

00:12:52.860 That is our federal government.

00:12:55.540 Now, let's say they call an election in the next month.

00:12:58.600 Let's say if something changes and there's an actual proper non-confidence vote and we try to get rid of the prime minister.

00:13:04.280 And let's say election happens, will Polyev do a better job?

00:13:09.740 Will he?

00:13:12.080 You know?

00:13:13.820 You look around your mainstream news sources and you find half of these polls saying, well, there's nothing wrong.

00:13:19.440 Canadians want this.

00:13:20.380 Canadians want that.

00:13:21.680 And yet, how many Canadians are out there screaming?

00:13:25.320 I know a few.

00:13:27.220 How many Canadians are out there really standing strong against this government?

00:13:31.640 We tried that back in 22.

00:13:34.280 And some good people were prosecuted and put in jail because someone had to save face or some people had to save face.

00:13:42.980 Right?

00:13:43.640 You look in the streets in this country right now, you've got people that are pro this and pro that and pro-Kalistan and pro-Sikh and then pro-Palestine and pro-Israel.

00:13:54.140 And yet, those individuals can protest and cause all the damages they want.

00:13:58.340 Yet, when Canadians stand up and fight for something that's beneficial to the whole country, the government disenfranchises them all.

00:14:08.400 So, is that worth fighting for, ladies and gentlemen?

00:14:10.760 I sometimes think about a regret, if I have any, in regards to, was my time worth it?

00:14:19.300 Because we have an ungrateful leadership in this country. 0.99

00:14:27.000 And as far as I'm concerned, a lot of the people sitting in Ottawa right now really don't give a royal fuck. 0.99

00:14:34.000 There, I said the F word. 1.00

00:14:35.640 Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. 1.00

00:14:37.920 Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. 1.00

00:14:56.580 Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. 1.00

00:15:04.740 Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck whole shit. 1.00

00:15:05.660 the nonsense, the BS every time you turn on the mainstream media, or even when you look at 1.00

00:15:11.300 independent media, some of the facts and figures they prove to us too. I'm not condemning those

00:15:15.940 individuals. No, they do a great job. But you keep seeing mainstream media towing the line

00:15:22.240 just in case there's more government incentives, government perks coming their way. You know,

00:15:27.020 taxpayer money, money that I've paid into, my wife has paid into, my parents have paid into,

00:15:32.640 my sisters. Now my nieces and nephews in the workforce, now they're paying into the whole

00:15:36.800 thing too, to pay off this national debt. Now, is it worth that idea of democracy, their idea of

00:15:44.400 democracy, that we keep working and they keep taking? Right? Who knows? Time will tell.

00:15:55.400 As I sit and I remember things, and as I sit and I ponder,

00:15:59.380 what's next?

00:16:05.740 I don't think they can call an election soon enough. And I think it's time.

00:16:10.300 I think it's time to turn the page and get somebody new in charge.

00:16:42.800 Once you see this debuted on the Rumble and on the Tube too, please get the algorithm going.

00:16:47.700 Help us, Canucks, get our words out there so we can beat the odds when it comes to Bill C-63,

00:16:53.080 ladies and gentlemen, and not let these feds worry about hate speech. And let's keep freedom of 1.00

00:16:59.120 expression and freedom of speech alive and well. Now, Donald Trump is now the U.S. president again.

00:17:06.880 Donald Trump won the election, fair and square. Of course, you can all see the outrage.

00:17:12.360 You know, go to the libs of TikTok there on the Twitter channel, and you get to see some of these

00:17:17.620 unique individuals screaming the high heavens about how they're so disappointed how things are going.

00:17:22.520 Right? And I feel bad for my American friends too, because they're just like us. They work their

00:17:28.800 asses off. They pay their taxes, show pride in their nation, and don't treat people like crap. 0.99

00:17:34.880 I could probably just hear all the SJWs cringing right now because, oh, I'm saying such harsh words. 0.99

00:17:40.760 That's the problem. All these social justice warriors grew up in a generation where you get a

00:17:46.180 trophy just for showing up, right? And you smile nice to get yourself a little ribbon, right?

00:17:51.700 There's an example of the ungrateful right there too. There's an example of the lack of gratitude and

00:18:00.820 dedication and intestinal fortitude that I spoke of earlier, right? So you can sit there and cry about

00:18:07.820 the cows not coming home. What's in store for Canada? Because Donald Trump, who knows, more terrorists

00:18:15.580 for us? Or is it going to give the powers that be some incentive to smart the fuck up? 0.99

00:18:23.160 Who knows? But I'm just happy that my American friends are going to see some real progress

00:18:29.660 in the next coming months where things will be a little more sensical, you know, where I think

00:18:39.760 Americans will get ahead. And I also think that Canadians need to get ahead too. We've had enough

00:18:46.300 of this woke-isms. We had enough of this bullshit. We've had enough of this scapegoating and gaslighting. 1.00

00:18:52.420 What was that communist thing? Accuse your enemies of what they accuse you of?

00:18:59.880 That's so much of the liberal paybook, isn't it?

00:19:03.240 Right? But I'm not going to sit and dwell and worry about what Justin Trudeau says. His days are numbered.

00:19:09.040 Right? His policies, his politics, his bias,

00:19:13.120 his favoritism, 1.00

00:19:15.120 his bullshit is coming down 1.00

00:19:18.360 as we speak. And people aren't buying it anymore. 1.00

00:19:22.340 Take a look at some new footage, if you can,

00:19:24.640 ladies and gentlemen, in your own time.

00:19:26.660 Where you see Krista Freeland talking about how she felt about Trump.

00:19:29.520 And you can see her twitching, you know,

00:19:31.460 and kind of uncomfortable.

00:19:32.640 And it's almost like she has to pee or something. 0.99

00:19:37.720 It's quite pathetic 0.99

00:19:38.640 to see how she rolls 0.99

00:19:40.460 and how she carries on.

00:19:42.300 But needless to say,

00:19:44.260 I think the liberal government's days are numbered,

00:19:47.040 ladies and gentlemen.

00:19:47.500 But I'm not going to dwell into that too much.

00:19:50.420 I just want to come back and have a good episode

00:19:52.320 and tell you all that I'm alive and well.

00:19:54.760 Everything's good.

00:19:56.340 And I'm not going to reflect too much in this episode.

00:19:58.840 It'll be kind of short tonight.

00:20:00.680 But

00:20:00.900 I trust that you're all going to use your good judgment

00:20:04.460 in the next few months.

00:20:06.300 Try to keep a level head

00:20:07.480 regardless of how you personally feel

00:20:09.060 about the new U.S. president

00:20:10.680 and how you feel about what's going on here too.

00:20:14.860 Because from personal experience,

00:20:16.060 the last thing we want is violence.

00:20:17.500 But

00:20:20.380 my best guess is that

00:20:22.040 something is going to be happening

00:20:23.460 in the next little while

00:20:24.420 and we should be ready for it

00:20:26.620 and should be prepared for it.

00:20:29.840 So

00:20:30.240 on that note, ladies and gentlemen,

00:20:31.960 I've been Krusty Canuck

00:20:32.740 on this beautiful

00:20:33.720 10th of November

00:20:35.120 Remembrance Weekend.

00:20:37.280 Remember our fallen,

00:20:38.320 respect our fallen,

00:20:39.560 and respect those who have gone before us

00:20:41.540 and committed the ultimate sacrifice.

00:20:43.120 Like I said,

00:20:44.940 I did 20 years

00:20:45.580 in the Canadian Forces.

00:20:47.380 Main Army,

00:20:48.000 just regular infantry grunt

00:20:49.100 and

00:20:50.720 met some good people,

00:20:53.460 have some good friends

00:20:56.420 and

00:20:57.260 buried a few of those lads.

00:20:58.700 And

00:20:59.100 I will be remembering

00:21:02.320 very well tomorrow

00:21:03.420 and so should you.

00:21:05.240 Like I said,

00:21:06.180 do what you can,

00:21:06.740 help you out in these trying times.

00:21:09.040 Keep a level head.

00:21:10.460 Let the rage

00:21:11.160 be there.

00:21:13.980 Try to be calm,

00:21:17.080 cool,

00:21:17.500 and collected

00:21:18.000 and

00:21:20.040 stand for what is right

00:21:21.460 and always stand on guard

00:21:23.900 for thee,

00:21:24.480 ladies and gentlemen.

00:21:25.920 I'll try to get an episode up

00:21:27.160 Tuesday if I can.

00:21:28.580 then I will try again

00:21:29.680 throughout the week

00:21:55.100 Get it, sweetheart.

00:21:57.320 Because I am hard,

00:21:58.840 you will not like me.

00:22:00.180 Yes, sir.

00:22:03.740 There is no racial bigotry here.

00:22:09.620 equally worth it.
