The Crusty Canuck Podcast - Remembrance⧸ Appreciation for Country

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of the Krusty Connect Podcast

00:00:04.940 on this beautiful November 8th, 2019.

00:00:09.140 Today's episode will consist of, well, remembrance.

00:00:13.020 Remembrance Day is coming pretty close, and appreciation,

00:00:16.600 and more of the political frickin' dogma that's surrounding our beloved poppy.

00:00:20.740 All that and more coming up in the Krusty Connect Podcast.

00:00:23.440 Stay tuned.

00:00:30.000 I am hard. You will not like me.

00:00:32.040 Yes, sir.

00:00:35.580 There is no racial bigotry here.

00:00:40.340 There you are always what we're working.

00:00:44.480 That's right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Krusty Connect Podcast.

00:00:46.960 I am your host, Krusty Connect, and today we are discussing,

00:00:51.000 well, at least I'm discussing, Remembrance Day, Remembrance, Appreciation,

00:00:55.240 and the big political fiasco surrounding our poppy.

00:01:00.500 Yes, that's right, ladies and gentlemen.

00:01:02.400 There was a couple of high school students in Manitoba,

00:01:04.700 I believe at a place called Stonewall Academy,

00:01:06.740 who were suspended because they refused to wear the multicolored poppy.

00:01:12.160 Now, there have been mainstream media news outlets who have called that fake news.

00:01:17.160 However, people at the Rebel and people at the Postmillennial begged to differ.

00:01:21.980 They were actually on the ground and investigating,

00:01:24.180 and they actually talked to one of the students,

00:01:27.680 and a few other students for that matter,

00:01:29.580 in regards to the multicolored poppy.

00:01:32.960 Now, I have said before in numerous episodes, ladies and gentlemen,

00:01:36.740 I don't care who's gay, who's straight, who's bi, who's tri,

00:01:40.420 who, whatever, knock yourself out.

00:01:43.280 Do it to the best of your ability.

00:01:44.640 Do it well.

00:01:45.320 Love who you want.

00:01:46.620 I don't care.

00:01:50.040 But we're living in a day and age now

00:01:51.980 where every ounce of someone's sexuality minus heterosexuality

00:01:58.080 is turning into a fucking disgusting political fucking joke.

00:02:04.360 There, I've said it.

00:02:05.480 It's a fucking joke, really.

00:02:08.480 Excuse me.

00:02:09.220 There are people I talk to offline and online

00:02:11.780 in regards to the whole walk-away Canada thing,

00:02:15.580 the whole red pill mentality,

00:02:18.000 people just waking up using common sense

00:02:20.080 and just being a little more appreciative of who they are

00:02:23.480 and what they are and what they do,

00:02:26.220 regardless of whom they sleep with

00:02:28.500 or what they sleep with

00:02:29.880 or even whom they identify as.

00:02:32.480 Now, as a veteran,

00:02:35.060 I'm not going to sit here and say,

00:02:37.840 yeah, I'm a veteran.

00:02:38.460 I deserve this.

00:02:39.100 I deserve that.

00:02:40.060 No, I did my fucking job.

00:02:42.080 I did it the best of my ability.

00:02:44.160 And there are people that I got to know

00:02:45.720 that we're friends with

00:02:46.520 who are not here with us today

00:02:48.020 because they did their job

00:02:49.780 to the best of their fucking ability.

00:02:51.960 A couple of those lads lost their life to PTSD.

00:02:54.960 A few of them lost their lives in battle.

00:02:59.460 And a few of them lost their lives to other things, too.

00:03:02.480 So Remembrance Day to me

00:03:04.060 is more than just putting on a nice shirt and tie,

00:03:07.040 putting on my medals,

00:03:08.400 staying at attention,

00:03:09.200 giving the salute to the last post.

00:03:12.260 It's a matter of remembering

00:03:13.540 and appreciating

00:03:16.540 and realizing what we really take for granted in this country

00:03:21.700 and how we do it.

00:03:24.220 And we're all guilty of it.

00:03:26.140 We're all guilty of taking for granted

00:03:28.740 our day-to-day life.

00:03:32.480 And when you look at those men and women

00:03:33.620 from World War I, World War II,

00:03:37.700 Korea,

00:03:38.700 every peace support and peacekeeping operation,

00:03:41.400 and even those men

00:03:43.380 that volunteered in the 1960s

00:03:45.680 to leave Canada

00:03:46.720 and join the American services for Vietnam,

00:03:50.820 they were doing

00:03:55.520 what they thought was right.

00:03:59.600 Regardless of what your personal opinion is on war,

00:04:02.420 regardless of what your personal opinion is on world conflict

00:04:04.800 or conflict,

00:04:06.460 nonetheless,

00:04:06.940 the dynamic of that time was,

00:04:12.160 holy shit,

00:04:12.800 there's an enemy,

00:04:13.760 we better do something,

00:04:15.080 we better stop it,

00:04:16.300 and this is what we're going to do.

00:04:18.920 Now,

00:04:19.760 when I read this story,

00:04:22.800 and I'll post links

00:04:23.660 from the Rebel Media

00:04:24.980 and from the Post Lineal

00:04:26.240 on this subject,

00:04:27.920 it basically means that

00:04:30.940 this young girl

00:04:32.540 did not want to wear

00:04:34.580 a multicolored poppy.

00:04:36.980 So,

00:04:37.580 she took it upon herself

00:04:38.640 to write

00:04:39.260 a little spiel

00:04:41.460 on a piece of paper

00:04:42.260 and spread it around the school.

00:04:44.220 And,

00:04:44.580 there was nothing really racist

00:04:46.240 or bigoted

00:04:46.880 about said issue.

00:04:49.500 I'll just look it up here

00:04:50.680 right now

00:04:51.220 as we speak.

00:04:52.520 But,

00:04:52.780 there was nothing

00:04:53.260 that,

00:04:53.940 you know,

00:04:55.360 made this girl,

00:04:58.140 she didn't say anything bigoted,

00:04:59.760 say anything hateful,

00:05:01.060 she didn't say anything wrong

00:05:02.440 and didn't say that

00:05:04.180 being gay or being lesbian

00:05:05.460 was a bad thing.

00:05:06.980 She just didn't want to comply

00:05:08.220 to the status quo.

00:05:10.180 She thought it was insulting

00:05:11.180 because her grandparents

00:05:12.020 were service members

00:05:13.480 and,

00:05:14.900 she thought it was insulting to them.

00:05:18.120 And,

00:05:18.660 rightfully so.

00:05:20.560 You know,

00:05:20.880 the poppy is red

00:05:21.940 for reasons.

00:05:23.260 It's red because

00:05:24.020 it represents the blood

00:05:25.060 that was spilt

00:05:26.280 in the battlefields

00:05:27.060 in Europe.

00:05:28.360 The black remembers

00:05:29.300 the widows

00:05:30.360 and the loved ones

00:05:31.080 that were left behind.

00:05:32.560 And,

00:05:33.060 the green represents

00:05:33.860 the land

00:05:34.400 that it affected.

00:05:36.460 And,

00:05:36.960 it doesn't matter

00:05:37.440 what your gender

00:05:38.800 is

00:05:39.900 or what you identify as

00:05:41.460 or who you sleep with.

00:05:43.180 The poppy has been inclusive

00:05:44.800 since its fucking inception.

00:05:49.360 And,

00:05:49.840 you can sit there

00:05:51.600 and scream

00:05:52.240 inclusivity

00:05:53.340 and diversity

00:05:54.120 all you fucking want

00:05:55.420 but you're basically

00:05:56.640 taking the old adage

00:05:57.900 of

00:05:58.220 if it ain't broke

00:06:00.000 well let's fix it anyway.

00:06:01.220 Well no.

00:06:01.860 The adage is basically

00:06:02.940 if it ain't broke

00:06:03.760 don't fix it.

00:06:05.860 Okay?

00:06:09.020 People forget

00:06:10.000 that

00:06:10.640 what if Hitler

00:06:12.260 won the war?

00:06:13.400 What would have happened?

00:06:14.180 What would have happened

00:06:16.180 to North America

00:06:17.160 as we know it?

00:06:18.880 Hmm?

00:06:21.400 What would have happened?

00:06:23.140 Take a wild guess.

00:06:24.880 What if

00:06:25.540 the Cold War

00:06:26.460 actually triggered

00:06:28.320 World War III

00:06:29.100 and there were no nukes

00:06:30.220 or anything

00:06:30.620 but there was

00:06:32.100 a conventional fight

00:06:33.040 in Europe?

00:06:33.400 How do you think

00:06:34.980 Europe would have looked

00:06:35.920 if the Soviets

00:06:37.280 won everything

00:06:38.280 in Europe?

00:06:40.360 Hmm?

00:06:41.960 So it puts that

00:06:42.660 in perspective.

00:06:44.000 Now typical Canadian

00:06:45.160 arrogance would be

00:06:45.960 oh that would never

00:06:46.560 happen here.

00:06:47.240 Oh no of course not.

00:06:48.020 We're peacekeepers.

00:06:48.740 We love everybody.

00:06:49.540 We're too nice

00:06:50.120 to have anything

00:06:51.200 like that happen

00:06:51.840 to Canada.

00:06:54.420 Yeah.

00:06:55.500 Toronto 18.

00:06:56.280 Right?

00:06:59.200 The Danforth shooter

00:07:00.100 having a few rifles

00:07:02.020 and some carfentanil

00:07:03.220 in his

00:07:04.760 in his personal

00:07:06.100 space.

00:07:07.520 Right?

00:07:08.020 When they searched

00:07:08.740 his apartment

00:07:09.260 all the access

00:07:10.120 to these guns

00:07:10.840 and carfentanil.

00:07:11.700 Not fentanyl

00:07:12.380 ladies and gentlemen.

00:07:13.060 Carfentanil.

00:07:13.940 The actual toxic

00:07:15.000 version of fentanyl.

00:07:18.760 But no

00:07:19.400 that wouldn't happen

00:07:19.960 to Canada.

00:07:20.400 No of course not.

00:07:21.080 No.

00:07:21.620 No.

00:07:21.980 Not at all.

00:07:24.000 No.

00:07:24.360 Nothing like that

00:07:24.840 would happen to Canada.

00:07:26.280 Right?

00:07:28.100 Anyway I'll be

00:07:28.880 leaving some links

00:07:29.460 from Canadian

00:07:30.220 Poly and Rebel

00:07:31.440 Media and the

00:07:32.800 Post Millennial

00:07:33.280 in regards to

00:07:34.480 this whole poppy

00:07:35.080 fiasco.

00:07:35.940 And I'll even make

00:07:36.600 mention to some

00:07:37.280 of the mainstream

00:07:38.020 media outlets who

00:07:39.040 more or less

00:07:39.480 deemed it as

00:07:40.000 fake news.

00:07:41.280 And yet you

00:07:41.740 actually see the

00:07:42.400 interview with

00:07:43.520 the young girl

00:07:44.300 and her father

00:07:45.060 weighing in on

00:07:46.500 the ridiculous

00:07:47.240 agenda that

00:07:48.720 these teachers

00:07:49.360 and the

00:07:50.460 administration of

00:07:52.720 said high school

00:07:53.300 Stonewall

00:07:54.800 Collegiate Institute

00:07:55.580 there in

00:07:56.360 Manitoba.

00:07:57.860 Right?

00:07:58.640 Being deemed

00:07:59.460 as a hate

00:08:00.800 speech monger.

00:08:02.260 You know?

00:08:03.700 Condemning the

00:08:04.460 whole poppy

00:08:04.960 fiasco.

00:08:05.780 And they're

00:08:06.080 calling her

00:08:06.560 an advocate for

00:08:07.760 hate speech

00:08:08.280 because she

00:08:08.940 won't play

00:08:09.700 along.

00:08:12.180 Excuse me.

00:08:14.180 It freaks me

00:08:14.980 out folks.

00:08:15.900 You know?

00:08:16.320 It's...

00:08:17.300 You can't just

00:08:17.820 wear a poppy

00:08:18.380 anymore.

00:08:19.300 You've got to

00:08:19.960 stand by some

00:08:20.560 political dogma

00:08:21.340 and stand by

00:08:22.180 some kind of

00:08:23.220 rhetoric bullshit.

00:08:27.200 You know?

00:08:29.240 You've got to

00:08:29.800 stand by

00:08:30.320 some real

00:08:32.640 garbage this

00:08:33.860 day and age

00:08:34.260 to get ahead.

00:08:35.480 And to me

00:08:36.000 that's not

00:08:36.600 fair.

00:08:38.220 That's not

00:08:38.680 fair for the

00:08:39.000 average

00:08:39.180 king.

00:08:39.940 Like I say

00:08:40.520 folks, I don't

00:08:40.960 care if you're

00:08:41.340 gay, straight,

00:08:41.940 bi, whatever

00:08:42.380 you enjoy,

00:08:42.980 whatever rocks

00:08:43.400 your boat,

00:08:43.780 fine.

00:08:44.080 Do it fun and

00:08:45.860 do it well.

00:08:46.500 Do it by the

00:08:47.200 best of your

00:08:47.540 ability.

00:08:48.840 You know?

00:08:50.040 I've had the

00:08:50.600 honor of serving

00:08:51.140 with many

00:08:52.180 people.

00:08:53.640 A few which

00:08:54.240 came out to me

00:08:55.280 personally in

00:08:56.220 regards to their

00:08:56.980 sexuality.

00:08:58.200 And I was

00:08:59.240 honored that

00:08:59.580 they told me.

00:09:01.720 You know?

00:09:02.160 And they're

00:09:03.720 still kicking

00:09:04.140 today.

00:09:05.560 They're good

00:09:06.080 people.

00:09:07.520 You know?

00:09:07.880 No one in the

00:09:08.760 right mind is

00:09:09.180 going to

00:09:09.340 categorize one

00:09:11.020 gay gesture

00:09:11.620 and expect

00:09:13.260 every gay to

00:09:14.700 follow.

00:09:15.720 You know?

00:09:16.540 I've met

00:09:17.040 people that are

00:09:17.640 straight that

00:09:18.320 are real

00:09:18.620 fucking idiots.

00:09:19.880 Does that

00:09:20.280 mean every

00:09:20.600 straight person

00:09:21.200 is a fucking

00:09:21.660 clown?

00:09:22.780 You know?

00:09:23.260 Come on.

00:09:24.240 We're better

00:09:24.700 than that,

00:09:25.000 folks.

00:09:26.980 But carrying

00:09:27.600 on with this

00:09:28.260 remembrance,

00:09:31.040 you know,

00:09:31.600 I like to tell

00:09:33.460 these administrators

00:09:34.080 to, well,

00:09:35.260 first thing

00:09:36.220 that comes to

00:09:36.500 mind is

00:09:36.800 fuck off.

00:09:38.340 And the

00:09:38.740 second thing

00:09:39.060 that comes to

00:09:39.360 mind is go

00:09:39.800 fuck your

00:09:40.160 hat.

00:09:41.260 And the

00:09:41.800 third thing

00:09:42.120 that comes to

00:09:42.520 mind is that

00:09:43.060 if you don't

00:09:43.360 have the

00:09:43.620 fucking balls

00:09:44.240 to serve your

00:09:44.800 nation in

00:09:45.800 that capacity,

00:09:46.720 you really have

00:09:47.380 no right to

00:09:47.920 speak out on

00:09:49.020 who wears what

00:09:49.820 poppy.

00:09:50.840 Now, don't get

00:09:51.060 me wrong.

00:09:52.520 First Nations

00:09:53.240 have a special

00:09:53.860 kind of poppy.

00:09:55.760 Right?

00:09:56.700 Don't get me

00:09:57.180 wrong.

00:09:57.400 There's nothing

00:09:57.680 wrong with that.

00:09:58.880 There's nothing

00:09:59.280 wrong with backing

00:10:00.460 up your heritage

00:10:01.660 with said poppy

00:10:03.000 because a lot of

00:10:03.580 English, a lot of

00:10:04.500 Scottish, a lot of

00:10:05.060 Irish, a lot of

00:10:06.080 Canadians, a lot of

00:10:06.700 Americans, a lot of

00:10:07.880 Australians, a lot of

00:10:08.720 New Zealanders, a lot

00:10:10.000 of members of the

00:10:10.440 British Commonwealth

00:10:11.000 rightfully went to

00:10:13.680 war to fight the

00:10:14.540 German onslaught of

00:10:15.480 that day.

00:10:17.740 And some fought the

00:10:18.780 Turks, some fought

00:10:20.000 the Austrians,

00:10:21.700 others just fought in

00:10:23.860 skirmishes with

00:10:24.540 allies of the

00:10:25.440 central powers.

00:10:28.020 And it was a

00:10:30.420 fucking bloodbath.

00:10:32.340 But it needs to

00:10:33.120 say, those

00:10:35.020 individuals that

00:10:35.800 signed up and did

00:10:37.140 their part.

00:10:39.960 And they didn't

00:10:41.020 know what kind of

00:10:41.600 hell they'd be going

00:10:42.160 through.

00:10:43.980 And I remember

00:10:44.640 visiting Vimy Ridge

00:10:46.000 back in 2000.

00:10:47.960 I was part of the

00:10:48.640 unit that brought

00:10:49.120 home the unknown

00:10:50.280 soldier.

00:10:52.840 And I admit, there

00:10:53.600 were chills went up

00:10:54.160 my spine, seeing

00:10:55.660 that park and seeing

00:10:57.800 the history and

00:10:58.640 feeling the history

00:10:59.720 there.

00:11:01.140 You're still seeing

00:11:01.900 craters in the ground

00:11:02.700 from a war that

00:11:05.260 was, you know,

00:11:06.140 practically 85 years

00:11:08.540 old at the time.

00:11:10.320 You know?

00:11:11.680 And just the

00:11:14.320 history alone was

00:11:15.320 breathtaking,

00:11:16.720 informative.

00:11:17.500 But it's moments

00:11:20.080 like that I reflect

00:11:20.840 on that I remember.

00:11:22.520 I wasn't there in the

00:11:23.380 First World War or

00:11:23.980 the Second World War.

00:11:24.860 But my grandparents

00:11:26.140 were around.

00:11:27.360 God rest their souls.

00:11:28.380 They were around in

00:11:29.100 the Second.

00:11:32.460 And I had a distant

00:11:33.520 uncle that was in

00:11:34.980 Korea.

00:11:37.020 So, I never met

00:11:40.040 the man.

00:11:40.620 He was on my

00:11:41.000 father's side.

00:11:41.960 But apparently he

00:11:44.600 kicked ass and took

00:11:45.260 names.

00:11:46.620 Because he was the

00:11:47.160 kind of guy he was

00:11:47.860 from what I was told.

00:11:49.460 Maybe it was just a

00:11:50.120 story to entertain me

00:11:51.060 as a wee lad.

00:11:52.000 But I reflect on

00:11:53.920 that.

00:11:54.320 And I reflect on my

00:11:55.260 adventures and my

00:11:56.680 situations and the

00:11:58.900 battles I've seen.

00:12:00.760 The time I've raised

00:12:01.820 my rifle in vain and

00:12:02.920 fired a few rounds at

00:12:03.940 the enemy.

00:12:06.020 I'm not exaggerating

00:12:06.960 folks.

00:12:07.400 I actually did fire

00:12:08.180 some rounds at the

00:12:09.540 enemy.

00:12:10.400 And I've seen my

00:12:12.680 share.

00:12:15.180 And what annoys me

00:12:16.000 the most is that when

00:12:16.820 you get these

00:12:17.420 institutions promoting

00:12:19.700 this, you know, do

00:12:21.740 this or else, wear

00:12:23.120 this or else, walk

00:12:24.140 this way or else, or

00:12:24.960 talk this way or else,

00:12:26.380 do you really, really

00:12:27.700 think you're doing

00:12:29.980 something democratic by

00:12:32.040 doing that?

00:12:33.800 Are you really going

00:12:34.560 to honor the

00:12:34.980 veterans who fought

00:12:37.460 against tyranny, who

00:12:38.860 fought against

00:12:39.700 communism, who fought

00:12:40.760 against real fascism?

00:12:42.840 Do you think you're

00:12:43.700 going to honor their

00:12:44.180 memories by doing that

00:12:45.120 kind of shit?

00:12:48.060 If anybody from

00:12:49.260 Stonewall Academy is

00:12:51.620 listening to this

00:12:52.180 podcast, or any

00:12:55.120 administrators or

00:12:56.260 teachers from

00:12:56.860 Stonewall Academy is

00:12:57.860 listening to this

00:12:58.240 podcast, I want to

00:13:00.700 openly challenge you to

00:13:02.100 a fucking debate on

00:13:04.120 Canadian history and

00:13:06.320 what Armistice Day

00:13:07.020 really means.

00:13:09.220 I want to challenge

00:13:10.340 you with facts and

00:13:12.260 figures.

00:13:13.100 I don't fucking care

00:13:14.160 about your feelings.

00:13:15.900 I don't bloody well

00:13:17.020 care how you feel.

00:13:18.680 If you want to wear a

00:13:20.340 multicolored poppy, you

00:13:22.100 go right ahead and do

00:13:23.000 it.

00:13:23.240 But that is not

00:13:27.640 going to replace the

00:13:29.300 red poppy that this

00:13:30.320 country has accustomed

00:13:32.540 to since November

00:13:35.120 11th, 1918.

00:13:41.500 Okay?

00:13:43.800 You're not going to

00:13:44.640 change the narrative.

00:13:46.840 You're not going to

00:13:47.680 change history.

00:13:48.440 And I'm not

00:13:52.200 pointing fingers at

00:13:53.060 anyone's sexual

00:13:53.920 lifestyle.

00:13:54.700 I'm pointing fingers

00:13:55.780 at the individuals that

00:13:57.120 take it upon themselves

00:13:58.080 to try to fuck things

00:13:59.680 up to suit a small

00:14:02.120 narrative.

00:14:04.200 Okay?

00:14:06.080 Like I say, folks, I

00:14:06.880 don't care if you're gay,

00:14:07.960 straight, bi, whatever.

00:14:09.500 I've had the honor of

00:14:10.220 meeting lots of people in

00:14:11.120 my terms of service and

00:14:12.480 in my time of service.

00:14:14.340 And yeah, yeah, a few

00:14:15.800 of them are gay, but it

00:14:17.440 didn't fucking matter.

00:14:18.880 They did their job, and

00:14:20.680 they did it well, and

00:14:22.080 they're good people.

00:14:24.940 And they wore their red

00:14:26.080 poppies proudly, like

00:14:27.380 every other troop.

00:14:29.540 Right?

00:14:30.360 And they stood there and

00:14:31.120 they saluted, just like

00:14:32.300 everybody else.

00:14:33.640 And they stood there and

00:14:34.940 they cried, too, because

00:14:36.120 they remembered.

00:14:37.780 They reflected, just like

00:14:39.440 the rest of us did.

00:14:42.620 But these admins and

00:14:44.240 these politically correct

00:14:45.080 aficionados, you know,

00:14:47.440 trying to prosecute a

00:14:49.020 teenage girl for hate

00:14:50.620 speech, because you find

00:14:53.080 your actions insulting.

00:14:55.800 She wasn't being

00:14:56.560 hateful.

00:14:57.720 She was being truthful.

00:15:01.200 Hmm?

00:15:03.280 She didn't go out of her

00:15:04.400 way in her letter to say

00:15:05.940 anything hateful to the

00:15:07.620 lesbian, gay, bisexual,

00:15:09.280 trans, ABCD community.

00:15:11.460 She was stating a point.

00:15:15.680 She was more or less

00:15:16.500 telling you why try to

00:15:17.420 fix something that ain't

00:15:18.220 broken.

00:15:19.580 Come on, folks.

00:15:22.440 Anyway, tell me what you

00:15:23.260 think.

00:15:23.560 You can reach me at

00:15:24.220 crustybcanuck67 at gmail.com.

00:15:26.720 You can find me on

00:15:27.300 Facebook under

00:15:27.960 Crusty Canuck.

00:15:28.920 You can also find me at

00:15:30.340 IDW, Internet Dark Web,

00:15:32.560 with the handle

00:15:35.780 Crusty Canuck as well.

00:15:37.940 Even here on Podbean,

00:15:39.240 leave me a comment.

00:15:40.060 Or on YouTube.

00:15:41.820 Right?

00:15:43.160 I'm just...

00:15:44.220 You heard me laugh and

00:15:47.300 giggle about the clowns

00:15:48.740 you put in office.

00:15:51.980 But right now, I'm just

00:15:53.280 pissed at the fact that

00:15:54.860 you can't even go to a

00:15:57.420 high school now without

00:15:58.620 political correctness

00:15:59.700 flogging people's ideas

00:16:02.880 and shutting people down.

00:16:06.120 Right?

00:16:07.540 Hmm?

00:16:10.140 Come on, folks.

00:16:11.420 We're better than that.

00:16:12.720 I'd say stand behind that

00:16:13.760 teenage girl for staying

00:16:14.620 with what's right.

00:16:16.380 You know?

00:16:16.820 Like, I'll leave the

00:16:17.800 links to the footage there

00:16:19.340 that Rebel Media put

00:16:20.100 together.

00:16:21.200 And you can judge for

00:16:22.040 yourself.

00:16:22.820 It just doesn't seem...

00:16:24.760 It's like we're going

00:16:25.680 backwards in time here.

00:16:26.760 It's like fucking 1984.

00:16:29.340 As a veteran, I remember

00:16:30.680 the things I've seen

00:16:32.040 and the things I've done.

00:16:33.000 I remember what my

00:16:33.800 captain did and what he

00:16:35.680 said.

00:16:36.020 I remember what my

00:16:36.720 warrant officers said

00:16:37.860 and did.

00:16:38.980 During this situation and

00:16:40.140 that situation, I remember

00:16:41.080 basic training.

00:16:42.320 I remember some of my

00:16:43.000 instructors and their

00:16:43.820 infinite wisdom telling

00:16:44.740 me how to do things

00:16:45.700 right.

00:16:46.800 Correct me when I was

00:16:47.680 wrong.

00:16:48.100 I remember my

00:16:48.680 grandparents talking

00:16:50.080 about Europe back at

00:16:51.460 this time, in this day,

00:16:53.500 in that age.

00:16:54.920 And I remember lots of

00:16:57.040 veterans I knew when I

00:16:57.900 was a cadet.

00:16:58.620 who told us a few

00:17:00.160 stories about flying and

00:17:01.620 about what they saw in

00:17:03.240 Germany.

00:17:05.200 And history class teaching

00:17:06.760 us things.

00:17:08.680 Right?

00:17:09.200 And yes, I am positive

00:17:13.580 there were homosexuals

00:17:14.660 that served in both

00:17:16.220 world wars, even

00:17:17.880 though at the time it

00:17:18.800 was illegal.

00:17:19.660 But that's irrelevant.

00:17:22.680 That's irrelevant.

00:17:25.380 More or less, folks,

00:17:26.220 leave the poppy alone.

00:17:28.260 You know, if you want to

00:17:29.460 wear the multicolored

00:17:30.160 poppy, I'm saying,

00:17:30.960 okay, go right ahead.

00:17:31.780 I'm not going to tell you

00:17:32.580 what to wear.

00:17:33.180 But do not turn this

00:17:36.180 day into a fucking

00:17:39.080 sideshow.

00:17:42.300 Respect it.

00:17:44.240 Okay?

00:17:46.920 Regardless of how you

00:17:47.880 feel, regardless of what

00:17:48.780 your religious background

00:17:49.680 is, or how you feel

00:17:51.020 about politics or war,

00:17:52.320 or the red poppy itself,

00:17:54.300 leave it alone.

00:17:56.760 Leave it alone.

00:17:57.600 Okay?

00:18:00.880 One day, veterans ask

00:18:02.340 for.

00:18:03.640 And technically speaking,

00:18:04.420 it's not really one day.

00:18:05.480 It's about two minutes

00:18:06.420 of your life at 11 a.m.

00:18:09.160 to sit and be silent

00:18:11.180 and reflect on the

00:18:13.600 powers and the

00:18:14.400 privileges and the

00:18:15.940 rights that everybody

00:18:17.200 has in this country.

00:18:20.940 It was because of the

00:18:22.580 First World War.

00:18:23.520 It was because of the

00:18:24.620 Second World War.

00:18:25.400 It was because of Korea.

00:18:26.380 It was because of the

00:18:27.660 Peacekeepers.

00:18:28.720 It was inadvertently

00:18:29.900 because of people that

00:18:30.880 went and fought in

00:18:31.560 Vietnam and with the

00:18:32.940 60s upheaval of the

00:18:34.160 social injustices, as

00:18:36.280 well as people waking

00:18:37.020 up in the 70s to get

00:18:38.600 things done.

00:18:41.280 And in the 80s.

00:18:44.960 In the 90s.

00:18:46.220 In the early 2000s.

00:18:47.460 And here.

00:18:51.060 Who cares if you sleep

00:18:52.380 with this person?

00:18:53.140 It doesn't fucking

00:18:53.880 matter.

00:18:54.280 Wear your poppy with

00:18:56.240 pride if you want to.

00:18:57.460 You don't have to wear

00:18:58.320 it.

00:18:59.040 But don't dress shit up

00:19:00.280 because it's politically

00:19:01.200 correct.

00:19:03.680 It's that bullshit that's

00:19:04.960 getting us to trouble to

00:19:05.760 begin with.

00:19:07.300 Huh?

00:19:08.760 And this isn't hate

00:19:09.760 speech, ladies and

00:19:10.480 gentlemen.

00:19:11.400 This is common sense.

00:19:12.800 Hello?

00:19:14.220 Hello?

00:19:15.480 Common sense.

00:19:17.200 Right?

00:19:17.600 Right?

00:19:17.680 I've met lots of

00:19:21.660 people who have said

00:19:22.660 some nasty things on my

00:19:23.720 profile page saying,

00:19:24.720 oh, you're a warmonger.

00:19:25.800 Oh, you killed brown

00:19:26.740 people.

00:19:27.660 Oh, you never fought for

00:19:28.960 my freedom.

00:19:30.420 Well, I guess I didn't

00:19:31.400 personally fight for your

00:19:32.400 personal freedom.

00:19:33.400 But there are a lot of

00:19:34.240 people before me and you

00:19:35.500 who did.

00:19:37.180 You dumb fuck.

00:19:39.420 Right?

00:19:39.640 To my listeners out

00:19:45.060 there, let Convention of

00:19:46.920 Wisdom rule the day.

00:19:50.180 Spend two minutes on

00:19:53.360 Monday remembering.

00:19:55.420 11 o'clock, wherever you

00:19:56.480 are.

00:19:57.600 Whether you're at a town

00:19:58.980 cenotaph, whether you're at

00:19:59.960 Legion, or even at work.

00:20:02.560 You know, if you have to

00:20:03.280 work.

00:20:04.480 Spend two minutes and think

00:20:07.880 about it.

00:20:09.640 Right?

00:20:11.260 It just infuriates me.

00:20:13.240 This whole political

00:20:14.100 correct BS again.

00:20:16.280 And regardless if it's

00:20:17.300 just one school, how do

00:20:18.860 we know what hasn't

00:20:19.440 happened at other

00:20:20.000 schools?

00:20:21.260 Right?

00:20:22.660 How do we know what

00:20:23.400 hasn't happened at some

00:20:24.440 other institution where

00:20:25.860 some principal or some

00:20:26.900 senior teacher says,

00:20:28.060 okay, well, we're not

00:20:28.760 going to play this because

00:20:29.720 it's too offensive or it's

00:20:31.560 too long.

00:20:32.240 Okay, we're not going to

00:20:33.020 play this part of the

00:20:33.760 ceremony because it might

00:20:34.780 promote this or it might

00:20:35.640 promote that.

00:20:36.580 We're not going to say

00:20:37.540 this because we're not

00:20:38.760 going to ask these

00:20:39.240 questions.

00:20:39.640 Because, okay, to all

00:20:42.820 these hush-hush monkeys

00:20:44.120 that want to keep

00:20:45.240 everything quiet and

00:20:46.180 keep everything safe, I

00:20:49.340 got one thing to say to

00:20:50.360 you.

00:20:52.040 Fuck off.

00:20:57.200 Okay?

00:21:00.140 Really.

00:21:01.680 To all the people that

00:21:02.640 back up poppies, that

00:21:04.140 back up our troops, that

00:21:05.140 back up our veterans, that

00:21:06.120 back up people that have

00:21:07.020 sacrificed the ultimate

00:21:08.740 sacrifice for this country.

00:21:12.500 Thank you.

00:21:17.200 Keep showing your support.

00:21:20.240 To my fans and listeners

00:21:21.380 out there, thank you once

00:21:22.200 again, too.

00:21:22.800 I've been seeing lately, my

00:21:24.600 subscribers have gone up

00:21:25.820 drastically on YouTube.

00:21:27.500 Wow, thank you very much.

00:21:30.140 It makes me very happy.

00:21:31.880 Please, keep subscribing.

00:21:33.280 Keep the comments going.

00:21:35.420 All right.

00:21:36.620 I've already written a check

00:21:37.700 to Veterans Association

00:21:39.080 Food Bank because of some

00:21:40.900 healthy contributions I have

00:21:42.160 received from total

00:21:42.820 strangers.

00:21:43.720 Thank you to all those

00:21:44.540 people who have helped me.

00:21:45.980 I managed to raise $200,

00:21:47.880 which is a start.

00:21:48.920 $200 will go to the Veterans

00:21:51.240 Association Food Bank within

00:21:52.180 the next week.

00:21:53.860 I'll be contacting them

00:21:55.080 again just to verify, and

00:21:56.880 it'll be good.

00:21:58.180 But my offer still goes on.

00:21:59.800 If you like what you see

00:22:00.740 in here, please feel free to

00:22:02.000 comment, like, and subscribe,

00:22:03.520 either here on the Podbean or

00:22:05.160 on YouTube.

00:22:06.200 And if you feel like

00:22:07.080 contributing $5 or $10

00:22:08.480 every month, please do.

00:22:12.340 Offer still stands.

00:22:13.600 If you do contribute $5 to $10

00:22:15.260 committed a month, I will mail

00:22:17.980 you a t-shirt of your choice

00:22:19.320 for my teespring line.

00:22:21.220 All right.

00:22:21.440 So let me know which kind

00:22:22.500 of shirt you like once you

00:22:23.440 make that committed

00:22:24.240 donations, and we'll go from

00:22:26.100 there.

00:22:26.500 And if you don't want to get

00:22:28.140 a t-shirt, you can donate

00:22:29.260 all the same, or you can

00:22:30.600 just buy a shirt if you

00:22:31.960 like.

00:22:32.840 30% of every donation and

00:22:36.160 every sale will go to the

00:22:38.220 Veterans Association Food

00:22:39.000 Bank.

00:22:39.300 That offer still stands.

00:22:40.860 So that's, you know, that's

00:22:43.720 one of my charities.

00:22:44.720 That's what I believe in

00:22:45.580 doing, helping other vets out

00:22:46.820 in time of need.

00:22:47.460 And Veterans Association

00:22:48.300 Food Bank does wonderful

00:22:49.280 things, folks.

00:22:50.580 They help vets in need by

00:22:52.180 making sure they get proper

00:22:54.300 food.

00:22:54.960 They assist vets in finding

00:22:56.100 work, meaningful work.

00:22:58.620 They also help less fortunate

00:22:59.640 veterans out there with making

00:23:00.800 ramps and sedgeways for their

00:23:03.940 wheelchairs and such.

00:23:05.020 And they help disabled vets

00:23:06.060 out too.

00:23:07.100 So Veterans Association

00:23:08.220 Food Bank, I will leave a

00:23:09.480 link at the bottom of this

00:23:10.320 page so you can donate

00:23:11.620 yourself.

00:23:12.160 If you give $25 to them

00:23:13.840 directly, they will give you a

00:23:15.380 tax receipt upon tax time.

00:23:18.320 Therefore, if you do feel

00:23:19.460 like filing your taxes, you

00:23:21.820 can back it up with that good

00:23:22.980 receipt because you've been

00:23:23.900 to a great cause.

00:23:25.860 Anyhow, back to remembrance

00:23:27.260 and appreciation.

00:23:29.120 I'm very, very fortunate to live

00:23:30.280 in a country like Canada.

00:23:32.820 Regardless of the history,

00:23:34.800 there's so many, many good

00:23:35.640 things that this country has

00:23:36.920 done too.

00:23:37.380 So, and this country has

00:23:41.060 offered the world not just a

00:23:43.020 safe haven for those who are

00:23:44.140 really, really persecuted and

00:23:45.960 who are really, really

00:23:46.700 oppressed, but it's given

00:23:49.220 insight, it's given freedom to

00:23:50.400 a lot.

00:23:52.200 And freedom of choice, freedom

00:23:53.740 of choose, freedom of

00:23:54.540 expression, right?

00:23:56.880 Freedom of speech, ladies and

00:23:58.860 gentlemen.

00:23:59.900 And I can just hear the SJWs

00:24:02.040 cringing right now.

00:24:03.260 Oh, but hate speech isn't free.

00:24:05.980 Then what's deemed as hate

00:24:06.900 speech?

00:24:09.020 Hmm?

00:24:10.820 What is deemed as hate speech

00:24:12.180 because you don't agree with a

00:24:13.320 certain dogma, right?

00:24:16.320 Is it hate speech for a young

00:24:18.060 couple to take their kids out of

00:24:19.300 sex ed training when their kids

00:24:22.420 are only eight years old?

00:24:23.420 Is that hate speech?

00:24:25.040 Hmm?

00:24:26.640 Is it hate speech to sit up and

00:24:28.080 actually tell a homosexual,

00:24:29.960 stop politicizing your lifestyle?

00:24:31.860 You don't deserve special

00:24:32.980 treatment because you're gay?

00:24:34.060 Is that hate speech?

00:24:36.620 I don't deserve special

00:24:38.040 treatment because I'm straight.

00:24:39.580 I don't deserve special

00:24:41.000 treatment because I'm married.

00:24:43.240 I don't deserve special

00:24:44.680 treatment because I'm a

00:24:45.460 veteran either.

00:24:47.600 That I acknowledge.

00:24:49.780 Right?

00:24:50.840 And that's not acknowledging my

00:24:52.320 privilege.

00:24:52.920 That's being fucking realistic.

00:24:56.660 Hmm?

00:24:58.860 Think about that.

00:24:59.920 I don't know.

00:25:03.000 It's a touchy subject when you

00:25:03.840 want to fuck with a poppy for

00:25:04.980 the sake of political agenda.

00:25:06.240 It's not for the sake of being

00:25:07.040 an inclusive.

00:25:08.300 Don't give me this inclusion

00:25:09.380 dilemma.

00:25:11.240 Right?

00:25:11.560 I don't buy it.

00:25:15.280 I don't.

00:25:16.120 So just leave it alone.

00:25:17.760 Like the story goes, folks, if it

00:25:19.200 ain't broke, don't fix it.

00:25:21.560 Leave it alone.

00:25:23.060 Right?

00:25:24.600 I got an interesting email the

00:25:25.680 other day from a Christian.

00:25:30.220 He self-expressed his respect for

00:25:34.620 God and his love for God and Jesus

00:25:36.100 and all that.

00:25:36.620 And he was giving me this whole

00:25:38.560 spiel and basing the email that

00:25:40.460 said, you know, Krusty, I

00:25:42.720 listened to your show a couple

00:25:44.280 times and I think you need more

00:25:46.500 God in your life.

00:25:47.620 Now, don't get me wrong.

00:25:50.300 He's probably heard some of my

00:25:51.540 angry stories and some of my

00:25:53.100 criticisms and he's probably

00:25:55.120 generally concerned for my mental

00:25:56.560 welfare.

00:25:58.360 Well, to the Christian man out

00:25:59.520 there listening, I'm not going to

00:26:01.000 mention your name, you know,

00:26:02.700 because I know how many Christians

00:26:04.240 are getting criticized to this

00:26:05.740 day and age.

00:26:06.620 But I appreciate your concern,

00:26:08.560 sir.

00:26:08.780 Thank you very much.

00:26:10.660 You know, your blessings and your

00:26:13.220 good tidings are fantastic.

00:26:14.800 It's well appreciated.

00:26:16.240 But, sir, I'm not religious.

00:26:18.640 And I have many, many reasons why

00:26:21.620 I'm not religious.

00:26:24.200 And I just appreciate what you've

00:26:26.900 done, but sorry, it's not my

00:26:28.740 forte.

00:26:29.800 But thank you all the same.

00:26:31.360 Thank you for the kind words of

00:26:32.420 wisdom and the guidance you've

00:26:33.700 tried to provide.

00:26:34.980 It's appreciated.

00:26:36.200 And, but I have my own light,

00:26:37.540 sir.

00:26:38.620 But my point being, that man

00:26:42.280 reached out to talk to me.

00:26:44.780 Right?

00:26:46.120 Two people, two different

00:26:47.260 lifestyles.

00:26:48.820 Right?

00:26:50.640 You see what I'm saying?

00:26:51.380 You see the dynamic here?

00:26:52.220 I never asked him if he was

00:26:55.260 married.

00:26:55.560 I never asked him if he was

00:26:56.340 gay.

00:26:56.880 I didn't really care.

00:26:59.120 But he gave me this wonderful

00:27:00.540 little lecture, gave me some

00:27:02.220 scripture to read.

00:27:03.760 Great.

00:27:04.120 I don't agree with it.

00:27:08.200 But I didn't condemn him for it.

00:27:11.960 And I didn't promote anything

00:27:14.080 hateful to him.

00:27:15.800 And I didn't say anything stupid

00:27:17.160 to him.

00:27:18.700 You see what I'm saying?

00:27:20.560 All right.

00:27:22.140 Now I'll leave a link to what this

00:27:24.320 young lady said when she promoted

00:27:27.200 over this high school there.

00:27:28.300 But I'll also leave a link to the

00:27:29.620 story.

00:27:31.200 And I'll let you decide for

00:27:32.520 yourself.

00:27:34.420 All right.

00:27:34.860 I'll let you decide, ladies and

00:27:35.900 gentlemen.

00:27:36.740 Because I look at Remembrance Day

00:27:38.740 as a holy day.

00:27:39.800 Even though, as I said, I'm not

00:27:40.680 religious.

00:27:41.300 But it is a day of remembrance and

00:27:43.460 to respect and to keep politics

00:27:45.280 out of it.

00:27:47.040 You know, I don't care if you

00:27:47.860 voted liberal.

00:27:48.480 I don't care if you voted

00:27:48.980 conservative, NDP, fucking green,

00:27:51.800 PPC, libertarian, rhinoceros, one,

00:27:55.620 two, buck on my shoe party.

00:27:58.900 Monday is a day of remembrance and

00:28:01.240 respect.

00:28:02.740 Sit around with your friends.

00:28:03.640 Have a few drinks.

00:28:04.480 Appreciate.

00:28:06.440 Because war is hell, folks.

00:28:09.340 Regardless of how you sum it up.

00:28:11.800 And my experiences do not compare

00:28:13.400 to the experiences of the fallen

00:28:14.860 of before me.

00:28:16.540 Where they were saturated in Europe

00:28:18.180 under heavy fire for years at a

00:28:20.720 time.

00:28:23.380 When we had six months.

00:28:26.500 Right.

00:28:26.600 But nonetheless, you hear the

00:28:30.060 crack and boom of enemy fire.

00:28:32.700 You hear the thwap and the whaps.

00:28:35.680 And you see the tracer rounds going

00:28:37.660 overhead.

00:28:39.800 You know you're in shit.

00:28:44.420 I don't want to see that kind of

00:28:45.620 shit here.

00:28:47.100 So that's why I'm so passionate about

00:28:49.140 the poppy.

00:28:49.740 And that's why I want my fellow

00:28:51.040 Canadians of all shapes and sizes.

00:28:53.840 Not one certain degree of them.

00:28:56.620 All Canadians.

00:28:57.840 And I include all Canadians.

00:28:59.540 Gay, straight, bi, tri, MGTOW,

00:29:03.380 LadyTOW, whatever fucking

00:29:05.200 abbreviation you come up with.

00:29:07.340 All Canadians.

00:29:09.140 The poppy is inclusive.

00:29:10.300 It includes everybody that fought and

00:29:14.120 died and served.

00:29:15.900 Our national anthem is inclusive.

00:29:18.080 We stand on guard for thee.

00:29:23.620 How more inclusive do you need to be?

00:29:27.920 Right.

00:29:30.400 Honestly.

00:29:31.300 How more inclusive do you need to be?

00:29:36.460 I don't know how many times I got to

00:29:37.540 say it.

00:29:38.600 But.

00:29:38.840 I'm really starting to get fed up with

00:29:41.400 these these politically correct types

00:29:42.920 who want to change everything and

00:29:44.420 and then the first one is to point

00:29:45.980 the finger over hate speech.

00:29:48.140 You know.

00:29:48.700 Don't sit there and promote

00:29:49.560 inclusivity when you're willing to

00:29:51.960 segregate people because of an idea.

00:29:55.000 Kind of an oxymoron.

00:29:56.020 Kind of a contradiction.

00:29:56.960 And it's fucking hypocritical.

00:29:59.160 So my hat's off that young lady in

00:30:00.820 Manitoba.

00:30:01.400 Well done ma'am.

00:30:02.660 And her father for raising a

00:30:04.860 brilliant young girl.

00:30:06.300 And her friends that have backed

00:30:07.500 her up.

00:30:08.140 And to the students there at

00:30:09.360 Stonewall Academy.

00:30:10.400 If any of you are listening to us

00:30:11.640 right now.

00:30:12.320 Cheers.

00:30:13.060 Stand your ground.

00:30:14.440 Be real.

00:30:15.860 Right.

00:30:17.700 No such thing as hate speech folks

00:30:19.220 unless you actually stand and you

00:30:20.600 look at somebody and say I hate

00:30:22.080 you.

00:30:23.060 Then you can you know call it what

00:30:24.560 you want.

00:30:25.640 I hate taxes.

00:30:27.000 I hate stubbing my toes in my

00:30:28.180 Chesterfield.

00:30:28.720 I hate cold coffee.

00:30:30.040 I hate cold pizza.

00:30:31.820 Yeah.

00:30:32.040 I hate standing in an elevator and

00:30:33.240 someone farts.

00:30:34.780 Well.

00:30:34.920 Does that hate speech if I

00:30:36.140 express that.

00:30:37.620 No.

00:30:38.760 Time to smarten up folks.

00:30:40.040 Start standing up for what's

00:30:40.820 right and what's real.

00:30:43.240 Anyhow.

00:30:43.780 I'll be leaving this podcast with

00:30:45.580 a few reminders.

00:30:48.100 And.

00:30:49.300 Hope yous all take care of

00:30:50.360 yourselves.

00:30:51.820 Look out for each other.

00:30:52.860 And something to think about

00:30:53.420 this weekend.

00:30:54.080 And especially come Monday.

00:30:56.300 Give yourself two minutes to

00:30:57.400 think about those fallen guys.

00:31:00.380 Because in 2014 I could have

00:31:01.800 been the fallen.

00:31:02.180 And I was pretty close to

00:31:04.800 blowing my brains out folks.

00:31:07.300 And if I wasn't going to do

00:31:08.200 that I was going to hang

00:31:08.920 myself.

00:31:09.440 And if I wasn't going to do

00:31:10.000 that there was a bunch of

00:31:11.640 pills I was eyeing up to

00:31:13.620 swallow.

00:31:15.000 So yeah I have my demons too.

00:31:19.200 And I don't mind talking about

00:31:20.420 it now.

00:31:21.240 I don't mind sharing that with

00:31:22.200 you.

00:31:22.320 So when people start

00:31:25.420 complaining about how

00:31:26.440 multicolored a poppy is or

00:31:28.700 isn't.

00:31:30.300 Put that in perspective.

00:31:31.800 Wear the red one proudly.

00:31:33.460 Because as far as I'm

00:31:34.280 concerned it is inclusive.

00:31:36.320 It's included every man,

00:31:37.860 woman, and young man and

00:31:39.580 woman.

00:31:41.060 That has served this country

00:31:42.520 proudly.

00:31:45.160 Right.

00:31:45.740 And I'm not going to be

00:31:46.440 ashamed of saying I'm a

00:31:47.580 veteran.

00:31:48.120 I'm not going to be ashamed of

00:31:49.440 saying I'm a Canadian.

00:31:50.120 And I'm not going to be

00:31:51.480 fucking ashamed for waving

00:31:52.580 my flag either.

00:31:54.980 So ladies and gentlemen

00:31:56.260 without further ado I'll

00:31:57.200 leave this podcast with a

00:31:59.000 last post and a poem for

00:32:02.360 one of my favorite

00:32:03.000 composers or performers.

00:32:05.380 So I've been Krusty Canuck.

00:32:08.460 And take care of

00:32:09.560 yourselves.

00:32:10.240 And remember humanity

00:32:11.120 merit wins the day.

00:32:14.600 Bye for now.

00:32:20.120 Bye for now.

00:32:50.120 Bye for now.

00:33:20.120 Bye for now.
