from there that's right so big news for canadians right now a pledge from our government to spend
00:01:40.320
roughly another uh what a quarter trillion dollars in the name of nato helping our europeans and europeans
00:01:46.040
helping us that kind of thing and in big news today uh a three percent tax on digital creators
00:01:52.400
digital companies what have you and i got a couple articles here i will read along but canada is actually
00:01:58.160
now going to step up and do something about nato defense spending now they've had the better part of
00:02:03.320
19 since 1968 to get off their asses and do something about it i remember my time in the military we used
00:02:09.220
to hear reports all the time from the cretchen government from the harper government and from the
00:02:13.420
trudeau government in regards to what they're going to spend on defense now a year ago justin
00:02:19.180
trudeau was bragging that canada was spending 1.4 percent of his gdp on defense and he made it sound
00:02:25.560
like it was a great big accomplishment okay and it's not an accomplishment so regardless of how you
00:02:31.020
look at infrastructure regardless of how you look at building things there's a big overhaul that's needed
00:02:35.800
now mr carney did promise a 20 increase in soldiers pay okay but i think he might be going
00:02:43.520
back in that deal as far as we know because i remember when uh the cretchen gave a lot of guys
00:02:49.680
retroactive pay when they had a big pay freeze there back in the early 90s because the government just
00:02:54.620
didn't want to spend any money they just wanted to cut cut cut to bring the dollar up and you know
00:02:58.020
they brought the dollar up but it's what they cut to do that now what is the carney government
00:03:03.720
going to do the blarney carney government going to do with canada when they want to increase this
00:03:09.600
defense spending we we all know that he's not going to increase the oil flow because they don't want
00:03:14.620
to repeal bill 60 c 69 they want to keep the pipelines and they want to keep oil in the ground
00:03:19.980
that was based on carney's book you know his book about values right yes that fun right and they don't
00:03:27.400
want to uh create any kind of mineral production too they talk it okay now bill c5 will allow the
00:03:34.900
government to yay or nay any project anywhere around the country okay now think about that so
00:03:41.220
they want to increase defense spending and they want to bring items to market under government eye
00:03:48.060
basically that's what i get from bill c5 you know like you get the government basically overwatching
00:03:53.420
more things again too and what pisses me off is that a lot of the conservatives sat there and did
00:03:57.960
fuck all about it that's just me though right so my question is is where is this money going to come
00:04:04.740
from when it comes to defense spending you know it's not going to come from our resources it's not
00:04:10.320
going to come from minerals it's not going to come from fishing it's not going to come from agriculture
00:04:14.140
it's going to come from people like you and me there you go there you go ladies and gentlemen
00:04:21.240
so that means our taxes are going to go up again and again and again and again now the taxpayer does
00:04:28.880
pay for its military i get that okay but based on how far procurement is in this country how far
00:04:36.800
behind and how slack and idle it is okay it is slack and idle it's it's a joke there's too many board
00:04:42.800
members rather than actual boards trying to get things done okay there's too many bureaucrats that sit
00:04:49.840
and have their finger in the pie of the taxpayer all the time oh i want some of this and i want some
00:04:54.600
of that and i want some of this and i want some of that we have to have this we have to have that
00:04:58.860
you know the budget will balance itself the budget will balance itself right we all heard that
00:05:02.900
fucking show tune before what a joke what a bloody joke so this is this is just oh it's just too good
00:05:11.760
to be true right they're all talking a good game again just like last year's liberals justin
00:05:16.600
judo saying oh we're going to increase defense spending over over a period of time every
00:05:21.200
government has said that over a period of time yeah they can hand out how many billions of dollars
00:05:25.620
to a dirty fucking war they can hand out how many billions of dollars just like that to whatever
00:05:31.240
humanitarian aid to whatever struggling country that's full of warlords that take their piece of the
00:05:36.740
pie too so it's all lip service ladies and gentlemen it's all smoke and mirrors like i said in my last
00:05:41.460
episode and basically who will pay it'll be us our taxes will go up our cost of living will go up
00:05:47.760
again all the fat cats in ottawa and toronto montreal sit there and count the money all the
00:05:53.680
contractors or subcontractors that will will that will have to motivate people to make this equipment
00:05:59.500
to make it canadian up to canadian standards right now regardless of what deal they've come up with
00:06:06.880
and closed doors in europe canada's not europe we're part of north america right now today trump
00:06:15.560
basically said no more negotiations when it comes to trading and there's people i've seen on my twitter
00:06:21.680
feed and my tiktok feed sitting there praising the high heavens that mr carney's doing such a great job
00:06:27.140
oh isn't that just isn't that just wonderful it's look he just elbows up yeah okay you're gonna be on
00:06:34.900
your fucking hands and knees ladies and gentlemen there's not gonna be any elbows up there's gonna
00:06:40.140
be hands up okay there's no elbows up here it's gonna be fucking hands up period okay now i'm not
00:06:48.580
kissing the americans butts i'm not kissing donald trump's butt here okay but he's got a valid point
00:06:53.840
the man is big business he knows what he's talking about when it comes to a deal when it comes to trading
00:06:57.860
and he's canceling all negotiations because he's given our federal government ample time to come up with
00:07:04.700
some kind of fucking deal and what have they done really what what have they done they've had a
00:07:10.860
catchy slogan during the campaign okay people bought it people bought the fear people drank the kool-aid
00:07:16.120
and and what's next okay europe's gonna come in and save the day and become our big trading partner
00:07:22.300
well last year's liberals turned europe away when it came to lng turned europe away when it came to
00:07:29.020
other resources but hey there's still lots of cash to hand out right for a dirty fucking war
00:07:33.980
oh there's lots of cash there right so it puts things in perspective what exactly is in the works

of my uh fellow service people that put their lives on the line every day and have to deal with the
00:09:30.780
mental complications that follow all right so i'll get more to that towards the end of the episode
00:09:36.740
ladies and gentlemen we're carrying out this episode in regards to the nato spending now i'm going to
00:09:40.320
queue up a five minute video here with mr carney that hit peace in europe oh my god what a putz
00:09:47.100
you know like eastern canada you guys voted for this shit you did you got nobody to blame you know
00:09:52.820
when things get tighter in your wallets you will know who to blame you you blame yourself who took the
00:09:58.100
x and voted for your liberal candidate really when you think about it how else do you how else do you
00:10:06.980
justify the stupidity and the buffoonery that has been distilled on all of us here right you know
00:10:13.320
you voted for safety what kind of safety is going to come up when our cost of living has gone sky high
00:10:18.620
again you know and chances are our cost of living will go sky high but then again who is actually
00:10:24.760
going to pay for it us ladies and gentlemen anyway here's mr blarney carney and his bullshit uh in uh
00:10:31.540
uh europe this past week in addition to individuals who facilitate and profit from the atrocities
00:10:40.180
committed we are providing ukraine with two billion dollars of additional assistance
00:10:48.680
we also are offering a 2.3 billion dollar loan that will help ukraine to rebuild its infrastructure
00:10:58.800
public services and civil society canada is helping to ensure and through our discussions i'm very
00:11:09.540
pleased the discussions and how they evolved uh that the new nato targets of five percent of gdp those new
00:11:17.340
nato's targets are tailored to address new threats and challenges and the capabilities uh required to
00:11:26.020
meet this moment have been the driving factors for those targets importantly the trajectory and the
00:11:32.740
balance of the new nato defense pledge will be reviewed in 2029 to ensure that the commitments align
00:11:41.240
with the global security landscape throughout canada's history there have been turning points when the
00:11:47.980
world's fortunes have been in the balance and each time canada has chosen to step up to lead on the path
00:11:55.100
of democracy and freedom we're once again at one of those moments if we want the world of tomorrow to be
00:12:02.960
shaped by our values canada must be ready if we want a more secure world we need a stronger canada
00:12:11.640
that works with our allies and today is a very important step to build both thank you very much
00:12:18.540
and i look forward to your questions thank you prime minister we're now going to begin the question
00:12:22.540
period we'll begin with steve chase first question period hi steve chase for the global mail i want to ask
00:12:28.420
you uh to what extent you have social license uh to what extent you think you have public support for
00:12:33.360
what defense experts are saying would be the largest increase in defense spending since the
00:12:37.440
second world war we're talking seven percent increases a year to reach that 50 billion number
00:12:42.800
it's going to crowd out other investments it's going to crowd out requests for health care transfer
00:12:47.380
increases so to what extent do you think you have public support for this well i thanks for the
00:12:52.400
question steve let me let me answer this in uh two ways so the first is to provide some context to the
00:12:57.340
overall five percent number um one and a half percent of that five percent is what's called a defense
00:13:05.340
industrial pledge um and as i described very briefly in my remarks it's much more deep anyhow ladies and
00:13:12.120
what i'm gonna do i'm gonna leave this uh this in my description for you is because i just i cannot
00:13:18.120
stand the sound of the word salads that come out of these individuals mouths no really i i get so sick
00:13:24.860
and tired of hearing the regurgitated answers regurgitated this well i'll answer this in two
00:13:29.440
ways or i'll answer this in three ways how about you just answer the fucking question okay you were
00:13:35.420
elected to do a job you've you've hired the same people that trudeau had okay the same buffoonery the
00:13:44.720
same incompetence where's the money going to come from that's the question the canadian taxpayers should
00:13:49.300
be asking where is this money going to come from you're going to print and print and print
00:13:53.500
borrow and borrow and borrow while we all pay and pay and pay so you might have something flashy for
00:13:59.700
our army or you might have something flashy for our air force you might have a certain standard for
00:14:04.700
all three branches of our service here okay now they got some good ideas but guess what ladies and
00:14:09.980
gentlemen those ideas those talking points came right out of the conservative mandates prior to the
00:14:15.300
election and it came out of the mouths of babes prior to any election when it came to the concerned
00:14:21.040
canadian taxpayer that wants a standing military to do its fucking job i'm not blaming the troops i'm
00:14:28.700
not blaming some of the leaders in our military i will blame the bureaucrats and elected officials
00:14:33.320
that have sat around for the better part of 50 odd years and did squat that's who i'm blaming
00:14:40.400
and now what i just presented to you is nothing but fucking lip service that's all how else how else do
00:14:50.180
you say it every time the man's asked a question let me answer it this way let me answer it that way
00:14:56.560
how about you just bloody answer it like a leader should well keep it simple right anyway i got an
00:15:03.920
article here about the three percent dst digital service tax that our country is charging tech moguls
00:15:10.380
from around the globe not just the states but from around the globe like holy shit hey it is so
00:15:17.860
desperate so desperate to embarrass us again that's what it is that's what it is and you may disagree
00:15:24.840
with me and you're more than welcome ladies gentlemen to disagree with me if you happen to be sitting in
00:15:30.320
ontario or la belle provence you want to talk to me about this let me know let me know in the
00:15:35.580
comments or send me an email my contact information is in my description
00:15:39.040
but i'll cue this up here too our defense spending is a joke because there's so many boards and so
00:15:46.240
many loopholes and so many hoops that our government has had had to go through or that our government has
00:15:53.140
created honestly our government has created half the loopholes that we're having to deal with today
00:15:58.220
how else do you explain it ladies and gentlemen really how else do you explain it and now they're
00:16:04.380
sitting there talking a great game and saying oh we're going to do this we're going to do that
00:16:07.280
but anyway here's something from fox news in regards to the uh three percent dst that our
00:16:12.420
government is pushing down uh donald trump's uh throat there and you know it's just it makes you
00:16:18.400
think what are these clowns really doing for our country are they really going out of their way to
00:16:23.400
give us a hand are they really going to help us do they really care about what they're doing
00:16:27.000
you know i really don't think they do i really don't think they give a shit to be honest with you
00:16:31.880
but uh kevin o'leary is going to make an appearance here and listen what he has to say
00:16:35.840
you may love or hate the guy but he's he's got business smarts you should listen to what he has to
00:16:41.600
say court taking the shackles off of trump's agenda the sap the nasdaq did hit new record highs
00:16:48.180
china confirmed it has a new trade deal framework with the trump white house president trump basically
00:16:54.020
is saying this framework is good for america the white house is saying trade deals with 10 key u.s
00:16:59.300
trading partners are imminent they're fighting with canada that's on hold the deals could come
00:17:04.200
before july 9th before higher trump tariffs kick in trump says u.s will end trade negotiations with
00:17:10.340
canada over their digital services tax canada was planning on taxing u.s tech companies trump says not
00:17:16.100
going to do that let's get right to kevin o'leary mr wonderful himself kevin was trump right all along
00:17:21.800
on the tariffs so this particular uh tiff fight disagreement whatever you want to call it started
00:17:28.520
in 2019 under the reign of the idiot king justin trudeau it was bad policy then it's bad policy
00:17:36.540
now it's causing a major rift to three percent tax on tech companies operating in canada um you know
00:17:43.380
this whole thing between canada united states the whole thing's stupid there should be no tariffs in
00:17:48.740
either direction here's why these these jurisdictions these geographies are joined you don't have to sell
00:17:53.960
the country you don't have to merge the countries but canada has all the
00:17:58.520
power the water the paper the minerals rare earths everything and the u.s has the largest market
00:18:05.980
there should be no tariffs in any direction and you do that to create wealth for both countries to fight
00:18:12.320
off china we're in a war with china because china's coming over the north so the whole idea of all this
00:18:18.080
crapola is a waste of time and so really um i look at this saying it's just more negotiation it's
00:18:25.400
irrelevant it's going to get worked out but the whole thing's stupid you know there's still a
00:18:29.480
tariff on on butter coming out of vermont at 200 going into quebec how stupid is that it's all stupid
00:18:35.560
it's all stupid and at the end of the day that's why they got rid of the idiot king they put a new
00:18:40.840
prime minister in place and he's trying to fix things but the canadian economy has been decimated
00:18:55.400
oh the technical issues there ladies and gentlemen anyhow what i will do is i will put this in
00:19:19.180
uh the description for you so my apologies ladies and gentlemen i just didn't know what was going
00:19:24.000
on there my my deepest apologies i don't know what was happening here i think my feed got kind
00:19:29.340
of compromised here except my signal's still good anyhow but it's basically what he was saying
00:19:33.740
was the simple fact that the whole tariffs things were a joke it was a waste of time waste of effort
00:19:39.860
and they should be concentrating on bigger things okay like i say i'll leave this article in the
00:19:44.840
description for you as you can watch at your leisure once again my apologies that technical issue
00:19:48.820
uh but uh i think you see my point when it comes to how our leaders are operating here okay
00:19:57.120
like i i just i i still shake my head at how many people are still backing this idiocy up
00:20:04.780
okay i shake my head and wonder why there's still so many people who are lost in the clouds
00:20:11.580
they want to fight for canada now all of a sudden they want to fight for our sovereignty they want to
00:20:16.340
fight for our identity and yet where were they in 2022 when we're being locked up like fucking
00:20:21.060
animals being told where to walk being told how many bags we can have being told where to spend our
00:20:26.660

ladies and gentlemen like i said i'll leave it my description you can decide from there but i really
00:21:41.600
really want to get back into the mental health issue that a lot of men are facing on this day
00:21:46.000
and age i'm not going to dwell on it like a like an old like an old school girl but i'm going to
00:21:51.860
dwell into the simple fact that yours truly like i said in my last episode i do suffer from ptsd
00:21:56.580
ladies and gentlemen it's not overwhelming i can function like everybody else but you don't get
00:22:02.720
ptsd from reading a paragraph you don't get ptsd from hearing some bad words
00:22:07.480
or being insulted or being offended you get ptsd from living from experiencing i'm not going to say
00:22:16.540
lived experience because that's just a contradiction how else do you have an experience if you're not
00:22:20.340
fucking living for god's sakes excuse me unless you're stoned but you're still alive right
00:22:26.180
but i just want to remind people there too if um especially to the married women out there
00:22:32.820
and the women that are committed to their men i'm not trying to be sexist i'm not trying to be
00:22:39.220
misogynistic i'm trying to be realistic here i have personally witnessed a few men that i've known
00:22:46.020
that i've served with that i've worked with who were really really chastised by their wives and
00:22:52.340
girlfriends over issues now ladies i like to remind you too that men are allowed to hurt okay we're
00:23:04.420
allowed to hurt too we're allowed to feel we're allowed to express ourselves we're allowed to be
00:23:10.600
just like you are okay and just because we may be built a bit differently have a different uh set of
00:23:17.340
hormones different out looking things if we get lost don't hesitate to give us a compass or be that
00:23:29.380
compass if we get hurt don't hesitate to let us know that everything's okay because men do get hurt
00:23:38.540
believe it or not there was a situation where i was lost and my wife gave me a hand took some
00:23:46.000
encouragement from others but she pulled through and i pulled through and i'm partially here today
00:23:52.720
because of her efforts okay so if you see a guy hurting don't ever tell him to suck it up
00:24:01.300
it's not like he fell off a swing set or stubbed his toe on a table you know or hit his thumb with a
00:24:09.060
hammer we've all done that it goes deeper than that ladies and gentlemen it goes a hell of a lot deeper
00:24:24.020
so if there's someone in your life that you're concerned with and you're worried about
00:24:42.320
that's the biggest thing that you can do too is to listen
00:24:46.060
don't worry about the cliches or the list of expectations
00:24:50.200
listen to your brother listen to your husband listen to your boyfriend
00:24:59.380
if you're still friends with an ex listen to him too
00:25:10.360
that's probably the best thing you can do right now
00:25:13.900
and then recommend you know a phone number or someone they can talk to but
00:25:18.480
you want people to open up and express themselves
00:25:22.780
and you have to tolerate how they're going to express themselves
00:26:18.140
