Western Standard - Alberta could crash Canada’s dairy supply management system

00:00:00.000 Good day.

00:00:29.840 welcome to the cory morgan show my weekly opportunity to go through some news stories

00:00:34.820 interview some people and get whatever's annoying me off my chest so poor jane doesn't have to suffer

00:00:40.060 through it the show is live i see it's already lively in the comments section there guys or at

00:00:44.780 least for those who are watching it live hey get in there chat with each other send me questions

00:00:48.940 comments i don't necessarily read them all out but i do see them all there so good to see a phil and

00:00:52.340 duane and uh who i am today whoever that may be in jk guys keep it going just of course keep it

00:00:58.980 Civil. We want to really get fighting at each other and calling each other names. Get on X.

00:01:03.140 That's what that place is for. We can cover a little more productive ground on here. I got a

00:01:07.600 good one today. Lindsay Wilson's going to be on. She's been involved in a number of things 1.00

00:01:11.060 politically in Alberta over the years, and she's with Link Strategies now, and she's organizing the

00:01:16.680 Doing It Right Women's Conference. I know we hear about women's conferences and politics all the 1.00

00:01:20.720 time, but it's usually some kooky left-wing group. Lindsay's not kooky or left-wing. Well,

00:01:26.020 might be a little nuts we'll see i'll talk to her about it uh and then we'll check in with dave on

00:01:30.100 some news things in a moment but i gotta get my rant of the day out of the way it's familiar turf

00:01:33.940 for you guys but something's kind of changed because we've taken a provincial approach to it

00:01:38.260 and it's canada's soviet supply management system on dairy poultry and eggs it's been screwing 0.52

00:01:44.100 citizens for decades with higher food prices it's been shrinking family farms and it's disrupted

00:01:49.380 international trade deals the dairy cartels are deeply deeply entrenched in canada and they've

00:01:54.340 effectively cowed every federal political party, including the Conservatives. No major federal

00:01:59.160 leader is going to dare question supply management for fear of upsetting the precious souls in Quebec,

00:02:04.380 which benefits, of course, disproportionately from the program. So the standoff on this terrible

00:02:09.480 policy robs Canadian consumers of billions of dollars. Now Premier Daniel Smith might actually

00:02:14.900 prove to be the catalyst that finally breaks this system. I mean, supply management serves Alberta

00:02:19.540 poorly and she can make a solid case as to why the province should exit the system. Smith has

00:02:24.520 nothing to fear with the wrath of Quebec. If anything, pissing off Quebec only bolsters her

00:02:28.560 support back home. Alberta has some of the richest agricultural land in North America. We also have

00:02:33.040 some of the most experienced and successful farmers and ranchers. If they can be freed from

00:02:36.900 the shackles of Canada's supply management system, we could look forward to a more diverse value-added

00:02:42.000 agricultural industry benefiting all Albertans, producers and consumers. Currently, the dairy

00:02:48.220 quotas predominantly go to Quebec producers. It's $25,000 a cow for a quota in Quebec and as much

00:02:53.680 as $50,000 in Alberta. It's illegal to produce eggs, milk, chickens, or turkeys without that

00:02:58.120 government-issued quota. It's ridiculous. An Alberta farmer was recently jailed for the crime 0.94

00:03:02.580 of selling his own eggs. The system is obscene in its control and infringement upon free markets.

00:03:08.600 Albertans pay inflated prices for food products due to the purposeful strangulation of supply

00:03:13.440 due to this system. In any other industry, this sort of price fixing would be illegal.

00:03:18.060 Canadian dairy producers have literally dumped over 6 billion litres of milk down the drain over the last few years

00:03:23.460 because it would be illegal for them to sell it or even give it away.

00:03:26.620 Isn't that nice for families struggling to pay the food bills?

00:03:29.140 The systems led to Canada having fewer dairy farmers in larger concentrations in Quebec, of course.

00:03:34.160 When supply management was first imposed upon farmers, there were 140,000 dairy farms.

00:03:37.980 Now there's only about 9,000 and that number is dropping because only large corporate operations can afford those quotas

00:03:44.020 and they've squeezed out the small producers.

00:03:46.040 New Zealand and Australia had supply management systems in the 70s,

00:03:48.980 but they wisely got out of those in the 80s.

00:03:51.320 Because they got rid of it, their dairy industries have flourished,

00:03:53.840 and both countries have turned into very successful exporters of agricultural products.

00:03:58.320 Alberta could do the same.

00:04:00.200 Defenders of dairy cartels try to claim that if we got rid of the wretched quota system,

00:04:03.980 we'd suddenly be flooded with dairy products without regulations. 0.95

00:04:07.060 That's a ridiculous and outright lie.

00:04:09.460 Quality control standards have nothing to do with the price-fixing scheme, 0.67

00:04:12.480 and the standards won't change when the racket's dismantled.

00:04:14.980 They also claim we'd be flooded with allegedly inferior American products if we got rid of the quota system.

00:04:20.200 Again, it's a load of BS.

00:04:21.760 The tariff system blocking American dairy goods has nothing to do with quotas.

00:04:25.620 America's dairy products are neither inferior or dangerous, but if you really don't want them, just don't buy them.

00:04:31.080 If we have a strong domestic dairy industry unbound by supply management, we won't need to import dairy products anyways.

00:04:36.660 We can be exporters of everything from powdered milk to cheese to ice cream.

00:04:40.000 We can compete.

00:04:41.480 Supply management defenders are making the case that Canadian producers are so incompetent

00:04:45.200 that if we got rid of the quota system, they'd go broke.

00:04:47.840 Well, maybe some of them are.

00:04:49.120 Let them go then.

00:04:50.340 The strong will survive just as they do in every other industry.

00:04:53.680 And no, we couldn't get rid of the system overnight.

00:04:55.640 An addict has to be weaned from their drug of their choice.

00:04:58.000 It might die in withdrawal.

00:04:59.700 The system must be dismantled, though, over some years and in stages.

00:05:03.260 And a degree of compensation must go to quota holders.

00:05:06.740 There's no better time to start that process than now.

00:05:09.320 Supply management benefits Quebec, thus no federal party will dare question it.

00:05:13.340 If we want to break free, it has to be a provincial initiative, and we can't initiate it soon enough.

00:05:17.360 So much like the pension plan, the RCMP collecting our own taxes,

00:05:20.560 supply management is another policy where Alberta can step up and take control for itself.

00:05:25.260 And with all those policies, when the federalists complain about Alberta standing up for itself,

00:05:29.520 our response should be the same.

00:05:31.020 What are you going to do about it?

00:05:32.320 I mean, what are they going to do?

00:05:33.260 Stop buying our milk?

00:05:34.580 They already don't.

00:05:35.600 Stop buying our oil?

00:05:36.840 They already don't.

00:05:37.760 punish us with regional-based pet taxes? They already do. If Premier Daniel Smith breaks the

00:05:43.380 dairy cartel in Alberta, it'll lead to the end of it across Canada, and everybody will benefit.

00:05:48.500 But it has to begin with putting Albertans first. That's what I got on supply management. Hey,

00:05:52.800 keep on it, Daniel. Get them. All right, let's check in with our news editor Dave Naylor and

00:05:56.740 see what's happening. Did you grow a beard? No, just too lazy to shave this week. Too lazy to

00:06:01.820 shave. I was in BC on the weekend, didn't get back until Monday, and by then, you know, the week's

00:06:06.720 have done no point yeah i guess you can make it a weekend task exactly exactly so i hear i might

00:06:12.340 be getting some honey tomorrow or next time you're in getting it tomorrow but yeah we're doing the

00:06:16.660 big harvest tomorrow so uh and boy they've been packing it away this rain as miserable as it's

00:06:21.960 been it's been great for the wildflowers and everything in the area so my bees are going

00:06:25.000 quite bananas so yeah this year's harvest lots of honey hope so and hopefully fewer stings i

00:06:30.840 got zapped four times in the last harvest do you wear a suit don't you i do but when they get mad

00:06:35.520 enough they can defeat the suit when you're stealing all their honey they get mad i'll make

00:06:39.380 sure jane is videoing it oh yes she likes to have some fun running across the yard as the bees 0.98

00:06:45.140 well you have to excuse my voice i am recovering from a little bit of an infection but uh some big

00:06:52.460 news breaking news out of bc uh three miners are trapped uh in a northern bc mine after some sort

00:06:59.320 of incident uh premier eb says they're they're alive and okay and in a safety room and now

00:07:04.940 rescue efforts uh are underway kind of reminds me of those chilean miners how long were they

00:07:09.660 underground for it was a terribly long time months and months that sort of thing i mean even just

00:07:14.140 because you survive it doesn't mean you're not going to be traumatized i hope they get those

00:07:17.420 four guys ever since yeah so are jared yoggers staying on top of that one but interesting story

00:07:22.620 on the number of firearms number of firearms licenses in uh in canada the next year hit a

00:07:27.980 record high uh led by alberta's increasing 3.3 percent so you know that's just more guns for

00:07:34.300 the liberals to try and grab good luck to them happy to leave the pack you know they're trying

00:07:38.060 to make firearms so unpopular but it does seem to be having the opposite effect indeed well

00:07:42.780 people want to buy them before they become completely illegal i guess it's the registering

00:07:46.940 they'll have a hard time yeah uh there's a provincial government report an alberta government

00:07:51.580 report today into uh medicine hat and how their mayor and council are operating and

00:07:56.540 it basically says it's a mess and basically needs to they need to clean house i'm sure james will

00:08:01.340 Yeah, or James Finkbeiner, I'm sure we'll be tripping in on Twitter on that one.

00:08:07.400 Asylum seekers in Canada are now costing us $2 billion a year, and obviously that's only going to go up. 1.00

00:08:14.200 And sort of the number one story on the site this morning is Parks Canada decision to cancel a concert in Halifax by a Christian musician.

00:08:24.140 and people were angry at him because he's a Donald Trump supporter, I guess,

00:08:30.480 and they didn't want that, and Parks Canada has deemed it could be unsafe

00:08:35.120 when those wild Christians get together. 0.99

00:08:38.560 It could be looting and rioting in the streets. 0.99

00:08:41.060 They'll knock the buildings down or something.

00:08:42.940 So, yeah, it's more of Parks Canada getting more ideologically involved in our lives, I guess.

00:08:48.900 I mean, it's federal property, all or nothing.

00:08:52.360 The woke infection is really getting everywhere, isn't it? 0.99

00:08:56.180 It is.

00:08:57.300 I think the tide is finally turning a little bit, but it's an ongoing battle, especially with the feds.

00:09:04.300 Well, I've heard that they did find a new venue anyways.

00:09:07.000 They said that Christian Rock thing doesn't do it for me, but hey, to each their own.

00:09:11.480 Yeah, I thought we had free speech in this country.

00:09:13.400 Yeah, I mean, Jan Arden, you know, can't stand her political stances. 1.00

00:09:16.220 You know, I don't mind taking it.

00:09:16.960 It's not that hard.

00:09:17.840 I don't want her canceled.

00:09:18.620 I just don't care.

00:09:19.480 Yeah, exactly.

00:09:20.040 If you don't want to go see her, don't go see her.

00:10:17.040 But guys, it's $10 a month, $100 for a year, just like an old newspaper subscription.

00:10:21.500 It's well worth it.

00:10:22.380 It helps us keep young Dave back there wiping his mouth, eating his lunches, and writing

00:10:27.320 those stories, and the rest of us doing these shows in columns.

00:10:31.180 So if you've subscribed already, thank you very much.

00:10:33.380 We really appreciate it.

00:10:34.660 And if you haven't yet, get on there, guys.

00:10:37.480 Come on.

00:10:38.560 This is how we do it.

00:10:39.260 We take care of things ourselves.

00:10:40.540 I'm just looking through some of the comments.

00:10:42.440 Yeah, yep.

00:10:43.600 You know, Soviet style.

00:10:44.860 And I know people get upset when I say that all the time about supply management on X in areas like that.

00:10:51.240 But there really is nothing more Soviet than that. 0.90

00:10:56.120 It's pure government control.

00:10:57.860 Think of how absurd it really is. 0.82

00:10:59.920 If you, there's one of the areas of conservative hypocrisy, and there's a lot of it in that.

00:11:06.660 In that, oh, I'm a capitalist.

00:11:08.360 I'm free market.

00:11:09.080 Oh, but supply management, well, that's different.

00:11:10.380 No, it's not. 0.94

00:11:11.320 if you're such a crappy dairy farmer that you need to have your competition illegalized you 0.98

00:11:17.660 don't deserve to be in the business I should have every right to go out buy a couple cows 0.99

00:11:24.200 milk those suckers and sell it to whoever I please for as much as I feel I might be able to get for

00:11:29.680 it that's how I do it with my bees and my honey actually I mean there's some health standards 1.00

00:11:33.600 sure that's fine but we don't need a quota system to have that do we uh it's just such a stupid 1.00

00:11:40.340 system. I mean, that came up recently with that egg farmer in Alberta. The man actually had five 0.99

00:11:47.000 RCMP cruisers show up on his doorstep for the crime of having over 300 chickens. And then some

00:11:54.800 people claim to be conservative and say that system is okay. Come on, guys, you can't pretend

00:11:59.380 it's okay. Just because the federal conservatives are totally terrified of the dairy cartels

00:12:04.060 doesn't mean you have to walk the line along with them and pretend that this Soviet-style system is

00:12:09.620 worth defending. It's not. But either way, I'm glad to see we won't have the federal politicians

00:12:14.680 taking it on. We were never going to. And I get annoyed with it. As I said on the pipeline when

00:12:20.600 I was talking about that, I hit Pierre Polyev with that when he was on my show one time. And boy,

00:12:24.220 he didn't like talking about the subject because it is contrary to conservative values. And they

00:12:28.220 just rather pretend it isn't there. But his role is to win federal elections. And if he takes a

00:12:33.960 stance on that, where you're going to tick off Quebec, I mean, you don't take it personally.

00:12:38.320 it's just political strategy and reality. He can't do that. But the province can. What does

00:12:44.360 Daniel care if Quebec's upset? Who cares? They're always upset. Make them more upset. 0.85

00:12:51.400 Another thing that's been hitting the news, and The Standard covered that too. We cover our kind

00:12:54.760 of story as it happened yesterday. You know, Ozzy Osbourne passed away as a kid who grew up in the

00:13:00.160 80s, you know, with my mullet and the rest of the outfit. I mean, Ozzy was certainly a part of my

00:13:06.060 life back then even prior to that in the 70s and black sabbath for the older crowds i mean

00:13:10.380 there's only so many musicians that really are you know sort of that one of a kind that really

00:13:16.140 stand out and change the whole genre and i mean he really broadened it you know it really was just

00:13:20.540 the the realm of the the weird headbangers in the 80s until the 90s when he got into that reality

00:13:25.580 show and you got to see him as a person and what a bizarre and interesting and fun and weird person

00:13:31.420 he was so he really made his mark he had his final concert only a few weeks ago and uh yeah

00:13:37.720 parkinson's was really running him down and uh yeah only made it a few weeks past that but it

00:13:42.800 was a passing of an icon there's no doubt about it whether he liked his music or didn't like his

00:13:47.000 music uh it's undeniable that he he was just one of those huge influential players in the whole

00:13:53.180 thing he's going to be missed by a lot of people just as a personality and as a musician i mean you

00:13:58.300 look at every from the glam rock to the other heavy metal types and musician out there paying

00:14:03.080 tribute he influenced them all and of all guys I gotta admit I would have thought he would have

00:14:08.980 been dead back in the 80s with the amount of cocaine that man consumed uh you would have

00:14:13.100 thought a heart attack or something would have taken him earlier but somehow he got through it

00:14:17.500 and passed a Parkinson's at 76 so uh well farewell Ozzy I'm sure you're uh rocking it if there is

00:14:24.340 something on the other side with old randy roads there and thank you for for uh you know allowing

00:14:30.120 me to really enjoy your music through the 80s and still on into today all right enough of that

00:14:35.140 let's get on to some stuff and talk with our guest here we got lindsey wilson of link strategies 0.99

00:14:38.820 talking about a woman's conference yeah how's it going well pretty good cory you know i'm sitting

00:14:43.720 here and i'm just really trying to number one picture you tending to your backyard hens and

00:14:48.500 then also picture you with your mullet in the 80s listening to aussie osborne i really like both of

00:14:53.000 those things on you i think you could rock both of those i let that mullet picture go out once in a

00:14:57.020 while on social media it's out there but with the cigarette in the hand and the black t-shirt and

00:15:01.380 the rest yeah the chickens we got rid of it's the bees i keep now but uh yeah i'm almost a farmer

00:15:06.020 you know in a real light you might need a chicken or two i'm a big fan of hens yeah we did the

00:15:11.040 chicken thing it was too much work and they stink well it is and you really cannot forget to lock

00:15:15.340 them up every night or the coyote is going to get oh yeah in our area we got lots of critters but

00:15:19.160 great eggs you can't uh you can't deny that but yeah i don't think you know i could grow the

00:15:23.100 skeleton now it just wouldn't quite work there's nothing wrong with having a mullet back in the 0.84

00:15:26.980 80s even to the early 90s if you still got it today though you might want to re-evaluate whether

00:15:30.400 you've moved forward in life much yet but that's true i mean mind you if you still play hockey i

00:15:34.260 think you can get pull it off well sure but i can't play hockey i've got a number of tattoos

00:15:38.420 hidden up either way to show permanent marks of my uh history oh from that era for sure yeah when 0.96

00:15:44.580 i finally quit i'll do one show shirtless and show people just how stupid i've been over the 0.98

00:15:48.180 years. I love that. I look forward to that episode. All right. So a woman's conference. 0.99

00:15:52.360 We hear about those all the time. We hear about getting women involved in politics. There is a 1.00

00:15:56.320 not as many women choose to get involved in the political spectrum as others. 0.99

00:16:01.580 Something that's different this time around. I think all the reasons are the same though,

00:16:04.220 is this isn't at least a bunch of woke women getting together and trying to push those 1.00

00:16:08.100 policies. You've got something coming together for common women to get involved with, I guess. 1.00

00:16:13.100 Absolutely. So this is the Do Not Right Women's Conference. It's the first one, 0.95

00:16:17.420 And we're going to be having it on Friday, September 12th at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino right here in Calgary.

00:16:23.160 So we're really excited.

00:16:24.320 We're very specific in picking a venue where we could have great food because you cannot host an event for women if you do not have great food. 1.00

00:16:30.880 For people in general, I mean.

00:16:32.560 I think so too, right?

00:16:33.860 But women, you definitely want a nice, beautiful space, welcoming space, ample parking, easy to access and great food. 1.00

00:16:41.620 So we're really looking forward to it.

00:16:43.320 And we're moving full steam ahead.

00:16:44.640 We've announced early bird ticket sales.

00:16:46.800 Tickets are on sale for $45, and we have all of our speaker announcements coming out.

00:16:51.540 So why are we doing this?

00:16:52.740 You're wondering why we're doing this.

00:16:54.140 Yes, well, I mean, and I understand, I mean, that the political realm, particularly now

00:16:58.820 with social media, though it's always been that way, is an abusive realm, and there does

00:17:03.880 seem to be more, I mean, everybody gets it.

00:17:05.940 I was called some wonderful things on X just this morning, but it's easier for a guy to

00:17:10.060 shrug off some of those things than, I think, the personal nature of some of the attacks

00:17:14.100 that go towards women. 1.00

00:17:15.980 They often seem to go to appearance or getting personal or even threatening.

00:17:20.880 How, I guess, can then women prepare themselves? 0.99

00:17:24.220 You can't stop that sort of abuse, but you can hopefully learn to shield yourself from it.

00:17:28.380 Well, I think so. I think that's really behind why we wanted to do this conference.

00:17:32.600 You know, we we get very divisive in politics. Right.

00:17:35.560 But really, most of us are here, what I call the V.

00:17:37.420 Most of us are somewhere hovering around the center with most of our most of our ideals.

00:17:42.360 Right. And most of our political preferences.

00:17:45.980 And so some of us are center right, some of us are center left.

00:17:49.300 And then we go through, you know, pandemics, we go through these things and it drives people more to the other extremes.

00:17:54.860 And it becomes a very divisive space.

00:17:56.660 And we're sort of there right now with politics, right?

00:17:58.940 We've kind of become more of an American style of politicking, whether, you know, maybe that engages more people in the long run.

00:18:05.520 I don't know. We will see.

00:18:06.940 But we wanted a space where women could get together, where we could bring together nonpolitical women and political women, 0.99

00:18:13.180 women from a variety of different industries and multi-partisan uh women from the whole

00:18:19.260 kind of spectrum of the political political spectrum so we wanted to bring them together

00:18:23.500 in one space for one day and say you know what talk about whatever you want to talk about connect

00:18:28.460 with other cool women and get encouraged get uh find out the different positions you can run for 0.99

00:18:34.620 find out the different jobs you can work for in the political space and just don't be afraid to

00:18:40.540 embrace who you are to talk about your values and to know that this is a space where you can do it

00:18:44.460 we're staying away from all the woke dei stuff we don't want anything to do with that

00:18:49.500 and i feel like women's conferences have largely been kind of dominated that way they're either

00:18:53.980 hyper focused on one topic on just on energy or just on wellness or they've become very radicalized

00:19:00.940 often by the radical left but sometimes on the other extreme right wing as well and we just

00:19:06.940 wanted a space where women didn't have to feel apprehensive to attend or that they would be

00:19:10.700 labeled to attend it this is really for all the ladies from the left to the right yeah and there's 0.96

00:19:15.740 a group forgetting the name and i don't want to knock them much but i hear them on the radio

00:19:19.580 regularly and they're trying to get women inspired or involved in politics but the reality is as well

00:19:23.020 whenever i hear them as a guest is cool they're pushing the right things but they're far far left

00:19:28.060 so if you're a conservative-minded woman you might not necessarily want to gel with that group

00:19:33.260 uh in in a room even if you know that supposedly the intent is a broad spectrum of uh of involvement

00:19:39.740 from women they want a certain type of woman um there's the recognition of difference between

00:19:44.940 women and men i mean that that's part of it they're trying to blur the lines with the woke 1.00

00:19:48.300 oh it's just a construct no it's not uh i think one of the things i think is unfair to women i 0.57

00:19:54.060 guess in some ways i don't have to endure uh but you know if a man is is outspoken and assertive

00:20:01.340 and speaks out, he's, you know, that's a leader, that's a strong person. And if a woman does that 0.98

00:20:06.300 quite often, that's a bitch. You know, it's just a societal thing. It's an instinct. It's 1.00

00:20:12.500 unfortunate. How do you deal with that, though? It's a double standard that's unfair, but you

00:20:16.780 can't move forward in politics without being assertive and taking strong stances on things.

00:20:21.020 Absolutely. That's why I think we need to do events like this where we need to, you know,

00:20:25.400 attract the spectrum of women into a room and we don't have to radicalize things. Women have to be 1.00

00:20:30.200 asked four or five, six, eight, 10 times to run for office.

00:20:33.760 They, they, it's, we talk about having this network for women, but is there really one?

00:20:39.280 Because I talked to a lot of women who are currently elected officials, who've run for 0.99

00:20:43.700 campaigns, who work in political strategy, and they don't necessarily feel that there's

00:20:47.840 a big work, warm, welcoming space for them.

00:20:50.940 So you've already got a few speakers lined up though.

00:20:53.260 Who have you got coming in so far?

00:20:55.240 Yeah.

00:20:55.640 So we have the girls from the discourse, which is a very popular podcast.

00:20:58.760 And that's Cheryl Oates and Erica Barutas. 0.99

00:21:01.440 So they both bring kind of the more conservative

00:21:04.000 and the more left-leaning perspective.

00:21:05.480 And they host a really fantastic podcast.

00:21:07.240 I encourage you to follow them and listen to them.

00:21:09.520 So they'll be moderating one of our political panels

00:21:12.740 in the afternoon.

00:21:14.440 We've got some women in business. 1.00

00:21:16.280 We've got Tashina Jackson to talk about blockchain 0.67

00:21:19.460 and how we can utilize that to transform voting

00:21:23.960 in the future.

00:21:24.800 That's going to be a very exciting panel

00:21:26.860 where my partner Christy will be hosting a one-on-one with her to talk about how we

00:21:31.580 utilize this technology to engage young people and young voters. We've got some political

00:21:36.880 strategists. We've got a keynote that we're very close to announcing. We've got Melissa Mumbarkey.

00:21:42.820 She's an incredible energy advocate. We've got Heidi McKillop from Alberta Proud. We've got

00:21:48.320 Deidre Garrick. We've got Mark McQuaig-Boyd, Rachel Notley's former energy minister. So we've

00:21:54.600 got a really good spectrum of ladies, Lindsay Montella, the interim Alberta party leader.

00:22:01.420 And we're just kind of in talks with a couple of current elected officials. So we're rolling out

00:22:05.800 these speaker announcements. We started last week and we'll continue in the coming weeks, but I think

00:22:11.360 people will find that we're hitting kind of all the notes and yeah, it's just going to be such

00:22:16.860 a great day. Yeah. Well, and it's interesting that Craig Boyd and Oates, yeah, they're not people

00:22:21.180 you, if you know them, think conservative at heart. I mean, Oates was involved with the Redford

00:22:26.680 government, so maybe a red Tory, and McQuaid Boyd was outright NDP, though she was a pragmatic one

00:22:30.920 in the energy file, I found, a little more than some of the others that, you know, in every party

00:22:35.520 you get some that are on different ends of the spectrum as they come out, so she should offer

00:22:39.440 some interesting perspective. Yeah, I think so. I think women like to see balance. Women don't 1.00

00:22:43.420 want to have things force-fed down their throat. They want to have balance, so we're making sure

00:22:46.560 that we kind of cover, we, we make sure we have a good depth, a good range of thought on these

00:22:51.720 panels. And we're keeping these panels. So there's only two or three people plus a moderator on a

00:22:55.640 panel, I find when I go to a lot of these conferences, that we'll have five or six people

00:23:00.040 on a panel, and nobody gets any airtime, we really want these women who are speaking to have their 1.00

00:23:04.800 actual turn to speak, because I find when, you know, when we go to a lot of these conferences,

00:23:09.220 we talk to women, and they don't feel comfortable maybe putting their opinion out there, or they 0.84

00:23:13.840 feel that they're going to be judged they just don't feel like they get kind of the air time and

00:23:18.320 this is a chance to do it but i do want to add that men are welcome to come you do not have to

00:23:22.520 put a wig on cory you can come you are more than welcome to attend the conference oh i don't know

00:23:27.480 if i get the deposit back on my drag outfit for that we'll see i mean it's good to hear with you

00:23:32.720 know good planning and things like that for conferences so yeah i mean large panels are

00:23:37.060 fantastic in their way i guess if you have a weird quick moving it depends on what you're doing but

00:23:41.000 you're trying to talk about bigger issues it's just too much to digest if the moderators working

00:23:45.960 through five different voices and trying to cover it uh when a smaller group could probably be more

00:23:50.360 effective with that i think so i've moderated and emceed a lot of events i've done a lot of panels

00:23:55.080 i did a lot of that when i uh worked for alberta proud for years and i just find it's more it's

00:24:01.320 more conducive to a good listening room and to people actually telling their stories when you

00:24:06.360 have a smaller panel i think it works better otherwise people are just fighting for their

00:24:10.040 turn at the mic and it takes them too long to finish what they're saying and somebody's waiting

00:24:14.040 for their turn to speak and it's a little bit more awkward so and another thing i really wanted to

00:24:18.120 highlight is we're reaching out to the universities different groups we really really want young

00:24:23.720 people to come to this we we think that this type of speakers that we're having really attracts

00:24:29.880 younger women we need to start bringing more younger women into the political movement 1.00

00:24:34.040 And it's I think the problem we're having is that women are entering politics at a young age and they're veering super hard left and men are entering politics and veering super hard right. 0.69

00:24:45.520 How do we kind of course correct that and bring people a little bit more to the center?

00:24:49.360 Yeah, well, it's one of the problems facing us right now.

00:24:52.400 I mean, participatory democracy means we got to participate.

00:24:54.960 You get up there, a lot of people don't realize how actually relatively easy it is to get involved in political campaigns or as a candidate, a volunteer, any of those things.

00:25:03.540 But where do you start if you've never done it? Where do you begin? Who do you network with? Or where do you even apply? I mean, you know, getting in a room full of other people like that could help, I guess, for younger people and so on realize that it is achievable. You don't have to be a crazed political nut to get involved in the process.

00:25:18.320 absolutely and I think we need to send young women a message too if you are conservative if

00:25:22.920 you have conservative values that can mean a whole lot of things and you don't have to apologize for

00:25:26.680 that be who you are know that they're we're working out here we're building a network of

00:25:31.340 women who just support one another sometimes you may you're you may have you have these tendencies 1.00

00:25:36.560 or these ideals and they may align a little bit more on one side of the spectrum and that doesn't

00:25:40.740 mean that you're not a conservative anymore or that you're not whatever you are right we're just

00:25:45.180 We don't need to be so polarizing with this stuff.

00:25:47.840 We want people to use the process. 0.97

00:25:50.500 There's, you know, just a kind of sidetrack of that stupid long ballot protest that's going on right now. 0.99

00:25:55.480 Some clowns who put 150, 180 people on the by-election ballot protesting for the sake of protesting. 0.99

00:26:01.800 What kind of annoys me with that, because some people say, well, what do you care? 0.96

00:26:04.760 Because I've said, you know, it doesn't matter to the candidate.

00:26:06.360 It's just an annoyance.

00:26:07.400 But it frustrates people from taking part in the process at all.

00:26:11.900 whether it's another candidate, whether it's even a voter who wants to look at that or people

00:26:15.700 scrutineering or people working in the elections area. These sorts of things discourage participation

00:26:22.260 and that's really hurts the whole process. So just to say, you know, we got those actions from

00:26:26.760 one group of idiots, but other actions that can encourage people to take part is kind of what you 1.00

00:26:31.880 guys are up to. Yeah, absolutely. And I wish I could tap into the energy that people put into 1.00

00:26:36.340 these kind of things and and and put it to a better cause i really do but i think in alberta

00:26:42.020 here we're dealing with a lot of election fatigue from the from the federal election no matter what

00:26:46.260 your views are i think largely um most albertans were fairly disappointed with the last results of

00:26:52.340 the last federal election and and i think you know it speaks to electoral reform and you and i could

00:26:57.860 do a whole another show on that and you talked about that a lot for sure but yeah you're right

00:27:01.780 when we make the process difficult, when we don't make things easy for people, it doesn't encourage

00:27:07.200 them. And young people, they want simplicity. They want it streamlined. Again, going back to how do

00:27:12.760 we improve the process for them through technology and really tapping into technology and, you know,

00:27:17.620 obviously making it secure. Young people don't want to walk down and cast a ballot and stand in 0.64

00:27:22.400 line. They just don't do that. And we have to tap into these people. Or at least encourage them to

00:27:27.540 make them realize it's worth it. I mean, it's not that hard, but it's a world of distractions right

00:27:34.060 now and easy to get sidetracked or find yourself too busy. I mean, it just seems the more that we

00:27:40.220 do to make it easier to vote, the less people continue to vote. I mean, advanced voting is

00:27:43.760 the opportunities now compared to 20 years ago. You know, you got so many extra days,

00:27:48.520 you've got special ballots, you've got mail-in ballots, you've got all of these different,

00:27:51.780 and the turnouts don't prove. Yeah, I don't know. Like, do we really move towards a system where we

00:27:55.960 make it illegal to not vote i mean there's all that's a whole thing too right i don't know

00:28:02.600 i know what you're saying some people make that case like in australia you could take a hit on

00:28:06.120 your tax return if you don't get up and vote but absolutely i just think i i guess maybe it's the

00:28:10.680 idealist in me a person should just want to because they want to make their mark to try

00:28:14.200 and move things in the way that they would i get that but it's like people just don't feel the

00:28:18.760 urgency and and it is urgent i mean you know if i may october 20th we have a civic election like

00:28:23.960 civic elections across this province and we see the least amount of turnout at the civic at the

00:28:30.280 municipal level when really this is the level of politics that affects you the most this is the

00:28:35.720 stuff this is fixing your potholes this is taking care of your garbage it's removing your snow

00:28:40.280 but people don't care in rural towns we get 20 30 turnouts i mean we have to turn this around

00:28:45.960 we have to make people understand and i don't know that's the work for people like you and i

00:28:49.720 I who work in this business. Right. So I think, you know, that's one thing that we're doing with

00:28:53.880 doing it right. Women's conference that if we can just kind of attract what I call the normal people, 1.00

00:28:58.760 the average everyday people, which by the way, Corey, you and I are not normal. We're in the

00:29:03.320 bubble. No, exactly. And we live, eat and breathe politics. But when I talk to the women that I drop 0.99

00:29:09.380 off my kids at school with, and you know, the 40 year old moms who, you know, have been successful

00:29:14.660 in their own rights, but they're looking to get involved, but they're intimidated. They have

00:29:18.240 these conversations with me and they feel scared they feel um unwelcome they feel like they're

00:29:26.180 inadequate and I just wanted to create something that listen ladies that you your voice matters 1.00

00:29:31.200 here's a way for you to get involved to meet other really cool women who are just like you 1.00

00:29:35.440 this is not intimidating and get involved and the networking is super important and it's very

00:29:40.380 timely for us with doing this conference it's going to be on Friday September 12th at the

00:29:43.920 deer foot in a casino. And that happens to be six weeks, five, six weeks before the October 20th

00:29:50.180 election. So if you want to connect with candidates, if you want to volunteer, if you want to get

00:29:54.360 involved with some campaigns, this is a really great opportunity to come out and meet some

00:29:58.720 like-minded people who just want to make their communities better places. And how long is this

00:30:02.200 event? It's a one-day event. Yeah, it's a full day. I mean, it's a lot packed in for that price,

00:30:06.700 so that's pretty good. I mean, you know, a movie with popcorn, you're already beyond that price

00:30:10.460 point so uh i think so i mean the parking is going to be free so if you can come in for the day and

00:30:14.980 it's you know it's 45 for you to have a catered lunch refreshments all day and end the day in a

00:30:19.220 networking reception and we're going to have some really cool door prizes i think that's tremendous

00:30:22.940 value when you compare it to other conferences but again we just really want people to show up

00:30:27.160 we really want people to get out there so get your tickets now while you can right on and we're

00:30:31.860 confined before i let you go where people find tickets for it if they're looking to get them

00:30:34.760 yeah we're on all our social media channels under the doing it right women's conference

00:30:38.040 and womendoingitright.ca if you click onto that website you can sign up for updates and you'll

00:30:44.260 be on our emailing list and find out about all our speakers rolling out and again we're on LinkedIn

00:30:48.460 we're on Facebook we're on Instagram so you can get us there too well thank you very much for

00:30:53.880 putting it together and coming in to talk to us today about it I hope it goes off great I mean

00:30:59.380 again the idealist in me who just wants to see more people just encouraged to take part

00:31:03.440 and then we can all fight it out over who's right or wrong well I can't I can't wait to see you

00:31:07.200 there, Corey. And, you know, you can choose whether you want to wear the drag

00:31:10.500 outfit or the, in honor of the late Aussie Osborne, you could go back to the

00:31:14.280 mullet days too. I mean, we'd welcome you in any way you want to show up. 0.83

00:31:17.600 I'll see what I can pull off anyways.

00:31:20.580 Thank you so much.

00:31:21.120 All right. Thank you.

00:31:21.900 Thank you.

00:31:22.220 I'll see you again soon.

00:31:22.820 You bet.

00:31:23.220 All right. So check it out guys. Again, that is doing it right.

00:31:27.160 Women's conference. It's easy to find on Google and grab a ticket, get out there, 1.00

00:31:31.420 get involved. I mean, that's, it's, it's hard to pull people in if you aren't used

00:31:36.700 to it. Part of the inspiration for me, you know, self-serving plug I'll put for writing that book,

00:31:43.680 The Sovereignist's Handbook, was that I wanted to empower people to realize how to get involved

00:31:49.960 in politics and how easy it is because actually it's not that hard, but they don't teach that in

00:31:55.360 school. They don't teach you what a party membership even is or what that entitles you to

00:31:59.680 or how you get your name on a ballot if you're looking to run in an election or all those

00:32:03.720 processes. They aren't actually, they're there if you dig for them, but it's kind of intimidating

00:32:08.180 if you haven't been involved at all. So events like this are a good opportunity because it's

00:32:13.240 not like going to a party full of veterans of the politics and everything too, and get together

00:32:17.720 with others and more casually chat about getting into it. And yeah, I don't know if I'm going to

00:32:23.160 get up and drag and head on down there, but it's, it sounds like a good event. Let's see,

00:32:31.580 You know, paradoxically saying, yeah, they don't want the plebs to know. 0.99

00:32:33.500 I mean, you know, there are, there's truth to it.

00:32:36.300 The establishment thrives on apathy, right?

00:32:39.120 They thrive on that indifference.

00:32:40.580 They thrive on people not paying attention.

00:32:42.780 The municipal front, those ones, as Lindsay pointed out, it's where we're most apathetic.

00:32:48.200 We've had turnouts down in Calgary, up the 20-some percent in the election.

00:32:53.580 Then you wonder why they're horrific.

00:32:55.300 You wonder why they have crappy public art, why they overtax everybody.

00:32:58.980 weather in Calgary actually has potholes that caused accidents yesterday that's how bad they

00:33:04.560 are people are hitting these potholes so deep that it's knocking the tires off their cars

00:33:10.060 and meanwhile Yodi Gondek says they're broke but they had a 200 and some million dollar surplus

00:33:17.020 they have money to change the name of Fort Calgary to a new woke name they have money for

00:33:22.680 ugly public art so you can money to give artists and I'll say it in quotes where you can phone and

00:33:28.440 listen to the sound of the bow river why do they get away with this because we don't get off our 0.99

00:33:33.560 asses and vote them out that's why pay attention get in there kick them out or uh you know run 0.98

00:33:42.200 yourself that's these kinds of things to teach a person you don't have to be on the sidelines

00:33:47.480 uh mary ann's drink water saying uh yeah you definitely be there to see cory oz yes yeah

00:33:53.240 those days are gone uh look on x you know yeah i'll throw it up sometime that old picture of me

00:33:57.880 with the mullet i hey it served me well and it's time but uh those days are well behind me and i

00:34:03.320 think the world's a better place for that uh you know old guys with mullets is just kind of a sad 1.00

00:34:07.640 thing to see unless you're again some sort of icon like ozzy you know getting back to some of the

00:34:13.720 the uh celebrity news in a way i i you know it's funny it seems often when a very major celebrity

00:34:22.120 passes or something happens, somebody gets overshadowed out of it or a lesser one. I remember

00:34:27.660 when, for example, you know, Mother Teresa died. It was right about at the same time that Lady Diana

00:34:34.280 died. So, you know, one kind of overshadowed the other. They were both very significant people.

00:34:39.720 Just the other thing in the news, Malcolm Jamal Warner, for some of the people who grew up in the

00:34:43.960 80s, he played one of the kids in the Huxtable family back then. He was only 54, got caught by

00:34:50.380 riptide and drowned the other day. Uh, sad, you know, he's certainly not at the iconic status of,

00:34:57.460 of Aussie, but unfortunately, you know, somebody's going to remember this guy's passing because

00:35:01.240 Aussie sort of covered it all in the news. Uh, what else we got? Oh yeah, this is something

00:35:07.140 else. If we're talking about voter engagement. So here's where people maybe can argue and differ

00:35:10.840 with me. There's a push from the liberals in the Senate, uh, to lower the voting age to 16

00:35:17.540 as they've done in the UK. Now, these pushes always come from the left. I really, really

00:35:24.240 strongly oppose this. It's not that I don't want younger people engaged, but I don't think, 0.94

00:35:31.140 you know, in Canada, you can't be bound by a contract until you're 18, by law, because you're

00:35:36.880 a minor. It's been determined that you're just not, and I know it varies kid by kid. There's

00:35:41.800 probably some 16-year-olds who are far more mature and advanced and think of things better than a lot

00:35:46.360 40 year olds and but there's also some 16 year olds who you know for a while they were snorting

00:35:51.800 condoms because of tick tock trends they can wait two more years to vote and there's the saying and

00:36:00.120 i think it's been attributed to a few but i think it's churchill who said but if at 20 you're not a

00:36:05.720 socialist you have no heart if at 30 you're still a socialist you have no brain socialists understand

00:36:13.000 this and they need more people with no brains to be able to vote and put socialists back in.

00:36:17.400 That's why they want to lower the age to 16. Just a bit of backstory on myself. I moved,

00:36:23.960 it shows a bit of the dorkiness of what I am too. I moved to Calgary from Banff when I was 17,

00:36:29.080 finished school and just got out. I was eager to start on my own, got an apartment with a roommate

00:36:34.120 and the landlady, just because we were living on our own, had an apartment, actually just assumed

00:36:39.320 I was a voting age. So when I was out working and the enumerators came around, there was a

00:36:45.120 here and lo and behold, I got home and there was a voter's card back in the 88 election for me to

00:36:51.300 vote. Wow. I was thrilled. What a geek, 17 years old. So I was enumerated underage. So I proudly

00:36:57.640 marched down and cast my ballot for the NDP. The one and only vote I gave to the NDP. Why did I

00:37:06.340 vote for the NDP, a politically engaged guy more so than your average kid at 17 and so on. Because

00:37:12.100 I didn't, I was politically inclined. I felt I wanted to be involved. I felt I wanted to cast

00:37:17.900 a ballot, but I really hadn't studied politics well enough yet to make a good decision on who

00:37:24.040 I'm going to. And I know there's older people who still vote for socialists. That's because some

00:37:27.220 people stay stupid until the grave, but most people grow out of it. So why do hard left parties 1.00

00:37:33.720 want to lower the age to 16? It's simple as that. They want the people who don't understand the 1.00

00:37:39.240 problems with a high taxation system. They aren't ready to grasp that everything comes with a price

00:37:47.700 that takes time in the working world. That takes the reality check of having to pay your bills of

00:37:53.700 personal responsibility. And most people between 16 and 18 haven't reached that point yet.

00:37:59.680 So no, most of them aren't going to give an informed vote.

00:38:04.080 I want more voters.

00:38:05.460 I want more participation, but I want an informed participation.

00:38:09.620 That's where I kind of differed with Lindsay when she talked about, you know, having mandatory voting like in Australia. 0.96

00:38:16.380 I want people to choose to get up and vote, even if they vote left wing or choose a vote that I think is dumb. 0.90

00:38:23.500 But I want them to get up and feel it's their bloody duty. 0.96

00:38:26.840 I want them to feel it's serving themselves. I don't want them to do it because they have a gun

00:38:31.000 to their head. If you're too lazy, too indifferent to get up and vote, then don't vote. I don't want

00:38:38.120 you voting. I want more people voting, but I want them to do it because they choose to. That's the

00:38:43.320 only way to have a proper democracy. And yes, it's failing. More and more people are becoming

00:38:48.680 apathetic, indifferent, and it's not good for us. But with the liberals pushing to lower the voting

00:38:55.280 age, we're already locked in with a terrible liberal party. We're already locked in with a

00:38:59.780 myopic public. How? I'm still astounded with. We went from Justin Trudeau, who managed to lower

00:39:08.980 support for the liberals to historic lows, like 17%. And all they had to do was flip out that

00:39:18.040 moron of a leader and stick somebody else in. And Eastern Canada said, yeah, you know what? 1.00

00:39:23.960 it's refreshed. I'll cast my votes for them and put them in. Wow. It's frustrating, but

00:39:30.140 it is democracy. It doesn't always break the way you want it to.

00:39:35.780 That's part of why we have regional differences in this country. And that's a whole separate rant,

00:39:39.900 you know, as to why I think independence is going to be the path to getting towards there.

00:39:46.220 Another big thing in the news right now, Tamara Leach, Chris Barber, let's get onto that.

00:39:51.180 The sentencing is coming up on the longest trial, longest mischief trial in Canadian history.

00:39:59.840 Mischief.

00:40:01.120 And the prosecutors are asking for seven years for Tamara Leach and eight years for Chris Barber for mischief.

00:40:10.180 Why?

00:40:10.840 Because they pissed off the government.

00:40:12.720 This is where we get into political prisoners rather than people who committed crimes.

00:40:18.680 The crime was embarrassing the state. Yes, fine. We can see. And I was getting to that point towards the end of the convoy protest where I felt it's time for them to leave. They've made their point. You can't stay perpetually. I don't care how upset you are. I do believe it led to the point of eventually the government was going to have to intervene and move them out of there if they wouldn't move on their own.

00:40:45.080 every protest has to have a point and it has to have an exit strategy those are two elements of

00:40:51.620 a successful protest if you're going to have it I've done protests but you got to have a reason

00:40:56.520 you can't just stay or you force the hand but they overreacted with stompy the horse with the

00:41:03.400 emergencies act and all of those things now if it went into the point of going to court and they

00:41:09.420 still feel, I mean, that's for the lawyers to talk about, the leech and barber still encourage

00:41:15.160 things to the point of illegality and mischief. Okay, whatever. What level of penalty is appropriate?

00:41:23.740 Well, they both spent combined months in custody without bail. That's a lot of time in jail already

00:41:31.300 for mischief. What's being served by giving them seven or eight more years in jail? I mentioned it

00:41:38.880 on the pipeline, because we talked about that today when we taped that show. But there's a

00:41:44.040 horrible case in Calgary. And this is where we're talking about priorities of justice, right?

00:41:48.860 A mother and father, and they're at the sentencing stage right now,

00:41:52.860 tortured their 18-month-old child to death. The prosecutor's asking for eight years.

00:42:01.500 Our federal prosecutors see that crime as being on par with Chris Barber's mischief.

00:42:08.880 Guys, something's terribly broken here.

00:42:12.980 Will we be more peaceful if Barber and Leach get long prison sentences?

00:42:20.760 Will it actually prevent more protests?

00:42:22.760 Like the judge has to take these things into account too when choosing your sentence.

00:42:26.300 Is it making us a safer society, a better society?

00:42:29.180 I think the behavior of Chris and Tamara over the last few years where they've been out on bail

00:42:36.120 as the courts move as grossly slowly as they do for years? Have they been trying to organize more

00:42:43.420 protests? Have they been trying to clog up the streets? Have they been trying to re-offend?

00:42:47.660 That's the main point, right? Are they presenting a danger? If they were standing out there with

00:42:52.180 bullhorn saying, let's go clog up the streets with another convoy in Ottawa tomorrow. Okay,

00:42:56.920 I can see a problem. I can see where they're going to say, we've got, you guys haven't learned yet.

00:43:01.660 You're going to have to spend some more time to figure that out. But they're not doing that.

00:43:06.120 They aren't pushing for those sorts of things.

00:43:11.460 They're not looking to re-offend.

00:43:12.600 So what are we getting out of jailing them?

00:43:16.220 Well, I know what it is.

00:43:17.040 It's vengeance.

00:43:17.760 And the justice system shouldn't be based on vengeance.

00:43:21.760 It really shouldn't.

00:43:22.920 I mean, people talk about a punitive aspect to it too.

00:43:26.280 No, I don't think, for one, punishment doesn't seem to work that well.

00:43:30.060 I mean, incarceration alone is enough to do so typically.

00:43:34.200 But, you know, I don't believe in beating prisoners or keeping them in cold concrete cells.

00:43:39.180 I don't believe they should be in luxury circumstances either.

00:43:44.080 But what you're also going to do is martyr them.

00:43:49.300 You're going to inflame the activists who support them.

00:43:53.520 And there are some who tend to, some are way over on the fringe.

00:43:58.640 Fair enough.

00:43:59.220 The left has them.

00:43:59.920 The right has them.

00:44:01.580 And if you go and make an example of Chris and Tamara

00:44:05.820 and put them in for extended periods in jail,

00:44:09.000 what do you think the harder activists are going to do?

00:44:12.000 Do you think they're going to be more calm?

00:44:13.080 Do you think they're going to be less inclined

00:44:14.560 to hold big protests, to clog things up?

00:44:18.780 You're not doing any favours.

00:44:20.040 Look, they've been convicted.

00:44:22.940 Now, throwing my guess out,

00:44:23.860 Nigel felt the same way when we talked about that

00:44:26.280 in the show, Nigel Hannaford.

00:44:27.960 I think, you know, despite what the prosecutor's asking for, what's probably going to happen,

00:44:35.180 the judge, they've already been found guilty, will offer a sentence of a couple of years each

00:44:39.380 and then suspend the sentence to say, you know, don't do it again. You've technically been

00:44:43.740 sentenced to that. You've served this much time and it's finished. But if they give them a long

00:44:51.200 sentence, well, for one, you know, it's going to be appealed. It's going to keep it in the news.

00:44:54.840 it's going to inflame the activists nothing will be served aside from a vengeful punishment of

00:45:00.580 people who had committed the crime of embarrassing that dingbat of a leader that we had for almost

00:45:05.040 10 years named Justin Trudeau who really took what was a peaceful and controllable protest and

00:45:12.400 managed to inflame it into an absolute gong show and all he really had to do was come out and

00:45:17.040 listen to him a couple times no they wouldn't have broken up if he came out and listened a

00:45:19.680 couple times I understand that but at least go through the motions saying I understand your

00:45:23.440 concerns. Now it's done. Now you got to move on. But instead he went straight to the emergency act

00:45:27.480 because he's a weak-willed, wimp, authoritarian piece of garbage who history will not smile upon. 1.00

00:45:34.680 So I guess all we can do is hope. You know, Leach and Barber are not criminals who are going to put 1.00

00:45:41.620 our country at harm. And let's just hope that the judge shows some wisdom when it comes to the

00:45:46.140 sentencing in the next few days. Probably have a sentence by the time I do the next show and we

00:45:50.160 can talk about that. All right, guys, thank you very much for tuning in today. It was a good show.
