Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, it is the 14th of November, 2020, coming up in this
00:00:07.480
week's Krusty Canuck podcast, Slack and Idle Remembrance Day services, and more government
00:00:19.920
Sweetheart, because I am hard, you will not like me.
00:00:37.420
This is the Krusty Canuck podcast, a Canadian veteran's point of view on politics, social,
00:00:51.440
Yes, good evening, ladies and gentlemen, your host, Krusty Canuck here.
00:00:55.060
On this beautiful 14th of November, 2020, to my veteran buddies out there and believers
00:01:01.780
alike, let's hope our Remembrance Day this year was good enough, regardless of all the government
00:01:08.640
lockdowns and other political BS that thwarted a lot of parades and ceremonies, all in the
00:01:14.920
name of personal and public safety, whilst our leaders are gallivanting around the country
00:01:22.120
So as the title says, Slack Remembrance Day ceremonies and more government BS.
00:01:27.180
So, I was actually going to put a show up prior to Remembrance Day as a reflection.
00:01:34.980
I'll reflect and I'll educate my listeners out there.
00:01:39.120
And I'll just keep the point of view going, keep the dialogue going, as we should.
00:01:49.620
They had barricades around the Ottawa Cenotaph, so a lot of people could not attend.
00:01:55.480
Just a few people, you know, for the sake of television and remembrance.
00:01:59.320
And, of course, you have to get the token media element in there, too, right?
00:02:03.140
And have all the correspondents weigh in about the sacrifices that all our men and women have
00:02:07.180
made over the past hundred or so years in regards to world conflicts.
00:02:11.700
Now, I have distant relatives that fought in the First World War, relatives that fought
00:02:16.400
in the Second World War, go as far back as the Boer War II, I believe.
00:02:21.680
And I think I had a distant uncle that fought in Korea.
00:02:24.460
I have personally met Canadians that actually volunteered with the American services and
00:02:34.580
One in particular was the Six-Day War, Yom Kippur War.
00:02:38.120
And I've actually had the opportunity of listening to German citizens many moons ago tell us stories
00:02:44.740
of what it was like to grow up in Nazi Germany.
00:02:47.080
And you can also check out one of my episodes, too, where I have an interview with Susanna Genova-DeBoer.
00:02:56.120
So she has many a story to tell, too, when it comes to totalitarian regimes calling the
00:03:04.980
So, I'm not happy, of course, with the government.
00:03:08.100
You've heard me rant on about that numerous times.
00:03:19.860
I personally got to know some individuals and serve with individuals that are here with us today
00:03:33.880
And I do remember the courage and I remember the mentorship and the leadership that I've had
00:03:37.120
that I was lucky to have for some great leaders out there
00:03:39.900
and some leadership that wasn't so great for some not-so-great leaders out there, too.
00:03:44.340
And it gives me time to reflect and realize how lucky I am
00:03:51.900
and how democratic this country was or is or however you may look at it.
00:04:09.040
that's been governing our lives for the better part of eight months
00:04:13.620
and government officials who can't decide whether we should wear masks or gloves,
00:04:18.820
whether we should not wear masks or gloves or wear masks
00:04:21.980
or wear double layers of three layers or four layers
00:04:24.340
or just cover our faces in petroleum jelly and carry on about our business.
00:04:28.740
And, of course, a lot of politicians weighing in and commercializing it
00:04:34.680
and making it look like, oh, you guys made such a sacrifice
00:04:37.580
and yet the same politicians are doing their best to rob us blind.
00:04:47.980
More creeping socialist ideologues calling the shots
00:04:54.620
And yet those same politicians are keeping certain aspects of the border open
00:05:01.860
And that's not a racist thing to observe, ladies and gentlemen.
00:05:05.540
Roxham Road is still rocking and rolling as we speak.
00:05:08.620
People coming in, getting cabs from the American side,
00:05:12.940
being escorted into said facilities to be looked after.
00:05:33.460
as long as you wear a mask and walk a certain way
00:05:35.260
and hop on one leg and pick your nose at the same time.
00:05:39.360
and all around the rural areas are getting shut down
00:06:22.780
and it looks like Mr. Biden might be the victor,
00:06:35.460
keeps focusing on what's going on in the states
00:07:14.800
Yeah, there's lots of money to give the We Foundation
00:07:16.360
and there's proof because they want to burn the documents
00:07:18.880
and, you know, they want to close parliament now
00:07:26.840
and all these people weighing in on these models
00:07:29.540
and telling us that we're all going to be sick again
00:07:42.360
Obviously, it's government control, ladies and gentlemen.
00:07:46.340
It has nothing to do with keeping people alive.
00:08:11.620
You know, you sit there and you listen to the last post
00:08:14.060
and it put chills up my spine for a very good reason.
00:08:45.520
And regardless of how you look at the World Wars,
