Western Standard - CMS： Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek is a disgrace

00:00:00.000 We

00:00:29.980 Good day. Welcome to the Corey Morgan Show. I am indeed Corey Morgan. This is my weekly

00:00:36.000 opportunity to bend your ear, go on about some issues, talk to some guests, have some

00:00:41.040 news check-ins, all that good stuff. So thanks for tuning in and joining us all today. For

00:00:46.260 you guys, if you are joining live, by all means, use the comments, scroll. That's what

00:00:52.840 it's there for. Talk with each other, send comments my ways, comments to each other.

00:00:58.620 It's all good.

00:00:59.360 Just try to keep things civil.

00:01:00.780 I see one just to start out with,

00:01:02.300 with Jordan Luenz and he's commenting,

00:01:04.960 and it's about my monologue that's going to be coming up saying,

00:01:07.700 doesn't fault Gondek for not coming to the menorah lighting,

00:01:10.040 doesn't think religious ceremonies should be held at city hall, period.

00:01:13.000 Now, I can agree with that.

00:01:14.480 If there were no religious ceremonies being held at city hall,

00:01:18.460 but there are religious ceremonies for Christians,

00:01:21.100 for Muslims, for Sikhs, all sorts of other people.

00:01:24.420 The only one the mayor has a problem with is the Jews.

00:01:27.740 So that's where it becomes a problem. If they truly make it secular for everybody, hey,

00:01:31.840 then it's not a problem. But as it stands, when the mayor is going to hit some of them,

00:01:35.560 then you hit all of them or none of them. Either way, I'll get into that in a moment,

00:01:40.620 as I do my opening monologue here in a bit. But still, I appreciate the comment. I mean,

00:01:45.640 there's different points of view, and that's quite what we're all about to a degree anyway.

00:01:49.740 So I've got Elise Mills coming on. She's been on before, political commentator, strategist,

00:01:53.980 and we're going to talk kind of about a year that was federally in politics and what we got to look

00:01:58.280 forward to in politics, lots to look forward to, I imagine, in things. And of course, we'll have

00:02:02.620 our news check-ins with Dave in a moment and some other things as well. But let me get going then to

00:02:06.900 talk more about what I was talking about with the comments and talking about mayors. Because mayors,

00:02:12.140 you know, they love to dodge responsibility for policies because they always remind people,

00:02:16.160 hey, I only represent one vote on council. You know, policy's bad. Yeah, I know, but I'm only

00:02:20.200 one of a bunch. That's fair enough. If that be the case, what is the special role of a mayor?

00:02:26.400 Well, the role of being a mayor is to speak for the city or town represented. They're the

00:02:30.760 representative of the people. While the mayor is political by nature, of course, they're elected

00:02:35.300 there and they're going to hold political views. They're expected to set the personal politics

00:02:39.540 aside when they're at functions representing constituents. Calgary Mayor Yodi Gondek threw

00:02:46.100 all that out the window when she allowed her anti-Semitic views to dominate her actions 1.00

00:02:50.580 and boycotted a menorah lighting in Calgary. Now, the lighting of the menorah has been a tradition

00:02:55.900 in Calgary City Hall for 35 years. Mayors of multiple faiths have diligently attended and

00:03:02.100 respectfully taken part in the joyous Jewish tradition of celebrating light over darkness

00:03:06.880 with the lighting of a menorah. It kicks off the observance of Hanukkah and offers a bonding event

00:03:12.620 for Jews and non-Jews alike.

00:03:14.920 But Gondek went and cast darkness over the tradition

00:03:17.280 as she misrepresented what it was about

00:03:19.540 and then boycotted it as publicly as she could. 0.63

00:03:22.260 She brought shame to the office of mayor 1.00

00:03:24.100 and by extension to the city of Calgary.

00:03:27.180 Gondek's snub of Calgary's Jewish citizens

00:03:29.340 had the opposite effect she hoped for, though.

00:03:31.460 The event enjoyed record attendance

00:03:33.620 as the city hall atrium was packed

00:03:35.460 and overflowed into the hallways of the building.

00:03:38.940 The only complaint I have of the event,

00:03:40.280 I went there myself,

00:03:40.980 was how the uncomfortable heat was generated

00:03:42.880 with a room jammed with so many people.

00:03:45.440 And for those who've never attended one,

00:03:47.220 just imagine a menorah lighting

00:03:48.560 is something like a Christmas concert.

00:03:50.020 Most, you know, Canadians have been to one of those.

00:03:51.820 Yeah, there's a bit of a religious element.

00:03:53.660 Most of the affair is focused on community bonding

00:03:55.660 and having a good time.

00:03:57.100 There was music, dancing, food,

00:03:58.880 and children's choirs sang traditional songs.

00:04:02.380 It wasn't politicized,

00:04:03.560 and it certainly wasn't a rally or a hateful event.

00:04:07.060 So why did Gondek go out of her way to discredit herself

00:04:10.580 and embarrass the entire city of Calgary with their attack on the event.

00:04:14.680 Well, there was a poster that came out days before the event,

00:04:17.500 and it had the words, Support Israel, on it.

00:04:20.520 Yes, Jews were supporting their traditional homeland of thousands of years.

00:04:25.520 Neither the poster or the event spoke of supporting the war

00:04:28.380 or supporting the government of Israel.

00:04:30.580 Those are different things.

00:04:31.440 It was simply a statement of support for a country

00:04:33.380 that the vast majority of Canadians agree has the right to exist.

00:04:36.960 In trying to call that statement controversial,

00:04:39.540 Gondek's mask vanished. She's among those extremists who feel Israel shouldn't exist.

00:04:45.660 She feels Jews shouldn't be able to even express the desire of wanting to maintain the nation of

00:04:50.880 Israel. Supporters of Gondek's vile stance have also been falsely claiming that war bonds were

00:04:56.500 sold at the event. They're purposely misrepresenting the practice of giving out two

00:05:00.680 Israel bonds, these are savings bonds, just like you can get a Canada savings bond,

00:05:04.320 to children at the event in a raffle it happens every year it has for years and years had nothing

00:05:10.640 to do with the war doesn't matter Gondek keeps doubling down she keeps talking about this

00:05:15.240 when Gondek snidely told organizers she wouldn't attend they did at least ask they tried negotiating

00:05:20.740 they said could you quietly step out of the role she said no no she wants to make noise about it

00:05:26.240 they said well if you're going to put out a press release will you show it to us so we can respond

00:05:30.380 She said no, and she put out a charged release full of misinformation about the event.

00:05:34.800 Now, condemnation of Gondek's move was immediate, and aside from among some extremists, it was universal.

00:05:40.880 Veteran Calgary Herald columnist Don Braid began a column with the words,

00:05:44.720 Jody Gondek is not fit to be the mayor of Calgary.

00:05:48.380 Braid's usually restrained.

00:05:49.940 I mean, he can certainly be cutting with his columns, but he was clearly outraged by Gondek's repugnant actions.

00:05:54.940 And he's right.

00:05:55.860 Gondek isn't fit to be mayor.

00:05:57.840 Sadly, it's going to be two years before Calgarians can do anything about that.

00:06:01.640 The day after the menorah lighting, Gondek went on the Calgary radio show

00:06:04.380 while she was drawing condemnation and ire across the entire country over this by now.

00:06:08.940 Rather than just showing a bit of contrition or even just going to carpet, she doubled down. 0.96

00:06:13.580 She applied those sneaky Jews and pulled the wool over her eyes with the issuing of that poster. 1.00

00:06:18.440 The poster was issued well before Gondek's boycott. 0.81

00:06:21.900 And it was the same nature as posters from years gone by.

00:06:25.860 Gondek has been roundly called out by several columnists and others for spreading the old

00:06:30.760 anti-Semitic trope about these sneaky Jews. She remains defiant, though, and unapologetic,

00:06:35.940 despite having offended Calgary's entire Jewish community, and of course many people outside of

00:06:39.500 the community, during what are very challenging times. All Gondek would have had to have done

00:06:43.880 is show up, smile, say some nice words, and move on. But her loathing of the Jewish community just

00:06:51.080 wouldn't let her. Jews represent less than 2% of Canada's population, yet nearly 70% of the 1.00

00:06:56.060 reported hate crimes in Canada are against Jews, as due to the sort of divisive, hateful leadership

00:07:01.920 shown by people such as Jodi Gondek, along with the extreme union leaders and academics that have 1.00

00:07:07.680 been out there spreading their garbage. There's only one way to hold Gondek accountable, though. 1.00

00:07:11.580 It is up to voters. She has to be fired in the next election, and it has to be done decisively. 0.87

00:07:16.100 decisively. Calgarians are terribly apathetic when it comes to civic elections, and the price

00:07:21.000 of that indifference presents itself in mayors like Gondek. Gondek's unfit to be Calgary's mayor.

00:07:26.820 Calgarians have to come out in force to let the rest of the nation know she doesn't represent

00:07:30.880 them. That means taking part in the next municipal election and in force next time.

00:07:36.040 Calgary deserves better. I mean, she's actually made me miss the head and inchy, and that's saying 0.98

00:07:41.140 a lot. All right, enough about Gondek. Hopefully, we don't have to talk about her ass for a while 1.00

00:07:46.520 now. Let's talk about some other stuff and see what else is going on out there in the big bad 0.99

00:07:50.720 world with our news editor, Dave Naylor. Hey, Dave, how's it going? Good day, Corey. I think

00:07:54.240 you should say what you really mean about Gondek. Oh, I sugarcoated a lot of it, I assure you. 1.00

00:08:00.160 You know, we're only a few days away from Christmas, Corey, so I'm just wondering if

00:08:04.300 you've got my gift yet. I'm still shopping. You know, you're just a guy who has everything.

00:08:09.380 well i don't know about that just so you know i'm getting you a tie oh good no i mean i cut

00:08:14.660 your last one off live on the air a few months ago so yeah to somebody or something all right

00:08:20.900 didn't we mail that out to somebody or something yeah one of your fans was going to pay 50 bucks

00:08:24.740 for it it was kind of disturbing in a way yeah a little bit oh well we've uh we've had a really

00:08:31.620 busy morning as usual cory here in the newsroom we've uh leading off with a uh a disturbing case

00:08:37.140 of road rage yesterday in calgary uh two vehicles and their their drivers got into it after a

00:08:43.140 collision a knife was branded and then in the uh the community of temple uh one driver pulled ahead

00:08:51.300 got out kicked the vehicle as it was going by that driver stopped his vehicle and then reversed

00:08:57.780 into the initial driver and crushed him against the tree killing him so uh that guy is now charged

00:09:04.020 with uh with manslaughter a sad story out of uh northern alberta where imperial has accidentally

00:09:11.140 bulldozed a uh hibernating bear uh and they were clearing some area and the the bear unfortunately

00:09:18.740 had to be euthanized uh cop 28 uh wrapped up uh this morning over in dubai corey i know

00:09:26.180 you've been glued to all the uh the coverage out of there uh our own stephen gilbo uh was

00:09:32.260 absolutely giddy with the final uh results which uh 200 nations came out and said they were going

00:09:37.780 to uh phase out fossil fuel and uh he says canada was right there at the at the leading edge uh i

00:09:45.140 know you don't drink cory but we uh we have an interesting new alcohol on the market courtesy of

00:09:50.580 doritos they are bringing out a cheese flavored liqueur and i think tasting something like that

00:09:57.700 may make me join you uh on the wagon i was about to say that that doesn't make me miss drinking

00:10:02.580 anymore that's for sure no it's kind of disgusting uh our columnist dave makachuk is uh saying that

00:10:10.740 the blue jays probably uh dodged a bullet by not getting uh uh wonder uh baseball player otani to

00:10:17.060 sign in fact he went to the dodgers for a billion dollars uh canadian to play baseball but uh you

00:10:23.540 You know, Makachuk's a Tigers fan, so we'll take what he says with a grain of salt.

00:10:29.320 Our opinion editor, Nigel, has got another edition of his Nigel Notebook,

00:10:34.980 leading off with some liberals, some fairly high-profile liberals,

00:10:39.160 including former Cabinet Minister Marco Mendocino.

00:10:43.320 You remember he used to be the Minister of Lies,

00:10:45.920 turning sort of against Trudeau when Trudeau sided with some countries like Russia and Iran.

00:10:53.540 uh to vote for a ceasefire uh in in gaza uh we've got a couple of drug busts a guy in bc got sentenced

00:11:02.100 to 15 years for a multi-million dollar smuggling operation but he has fled to india so now there's

00:11:08.020 a warrant out for him and uh the wet suetan you remember them from a while ago cory when they were

00:11:14.100 blocking uh railroad tracks uh they've come out in favor favor today of uh of palestine sending uh

00:11:21.220 saying they stand in solidarity with them.

00:11:24.060 So now we know where they stand.

00:11:27.000 So that's it.

00:11:27.980 We've got a story coming up, an interesting one,

00:11:30.140 on the residents of Akshaw, west of Calgary, near Canmore.

00:11:35.840 They're filing a lawsuit against a cement plant there for all their emissions.

00:11:40.200 All 450 or so citizens there of Akshaw are fed up with the pollution.

00:11:45.620 So, you used to live there once, didn't you, Corey?

00:11:48.200 I lived in Banff.

00:11:49.280 So Jane and I were looking at places in Exha, actually, a long story, but back with the 2013 floods came along, it wiped out the one house we were looking at.

00:11:57.160 So I think we made a good choice with Pritis.

00:11:59.420 But it is a town next to a plant.

00:12:01.500 I mean, the whole point of the town, it was built for people to work at that plant.

00:12:04.680 So, yeah, it's just usual winding citizens, I guess.

00:12:07.700 Yeah, it has, you know, been there only 100 years.

00:12:09.940 So, you know, people have had a chance to move away.

00:12:12.520 Yeah, absolutely.

00:12:14.100 Well, Israel's sure to surrender pretty soon 0.99

00:12:17.020 and let Hamas win now that the Wet'suwesson are on board. 0.74

00:12:20.340 So it's good to see that development

00:12:21.440 and turning point in the conflict.

00:12:23.040 Yeah, that way, you know, as Minister Jolie said,

00:12:25.020 Canada can get over there and start investigating

00:12:27.140 the actions of the Israeli military.

00:12:30.720 That made me laugh out loud yesterday.

00:12:34.000 We got to laugh about what we can these days.

00:12:36.700 Exactly.

00:12:37.860 All right, well, thanks, Dave.

00:12:39.540 And I'll keep dwelling on what I'm going to get you

00:12:41.480 for Christmas this year,

00:12:42.500 and I'll let you get back to hammering out those stories there.

00:12:45.540 Thanks, Corey, and we'll see you later on the pipeline

00:12:47.300 where you will be wearing a tie.

00:12:49.540 Yeah, Fred, my contract only covered this show.

00:12:52.160 All right, thanks, Dave.

00:12:53.280 Thanks, Corey.

00:12:54.540 All right, that is our news editor, Dave Naylor.

00:12:56.560 I see lots of stories.

00:12:57.580 It's a busy one on there today, guys.

00:13:00.420 Just this is when I like to remind everybody

00:13:01.960 all the reason we have that many stories

00:13:03.520 and that Dave Naylor can sit in there

00:13:05.280 and coordinate all those hardworking reporters

00:13:07.560 is because you guys have subscribed.

00:13:09.620 So if you haven't subscribed yet, get on there.

00:13:12.060 westernstandard.news slash membership. And it's $9.99 a month, $100 a year, guys. It's well worth

00:13:18.920 it. You know, it's an investment in yourself, just like an old newspaper subscription. We're not

00:13:22.340 asking for much, but you can get full unfettered access to all these stories. And of course,

00:13:26.620 it supports us and we really appreciate it. So before I get to the guest I'm going to have

00:13:31.860 on, I've been looking forward to having Ms. Mills on. It's been a little while. 0.89

00:13:37.040 Just I see a couple of the comments as well. So, you know, as I was ranting and raving about Jody

00:13:40.520 Gondek. Everybody has been for the last couple of weeks. She's certainly earned it. But a good

00:13:45.060 question from commenter GB, how do we get more involved in municipal politics aside from rage

00:13:49.880 posting? Which, yeah, I rage post for a living. But it has limited productivity to it. The bottom

00:13:55.940 line is vote. Pay attention. Get on there. Encourage others to pay attention. Encourage

00:14:01.940 others to vote. The turnouts in civic elections, Calgary's not alone. They're terrible. And it's

00:14:07.540 it's a mistake we make across the country. We're all guilty of it. You know what? I, you know,

00:14:13.220 I don't know who my school board trustees are or were. I never paid attention to it. I probably

00:14:18.280 should have. Things like that in these municipal elections, as Jordan's pointing out too, there's

00:14:22.360 groups like Common Sense Calgary, and I think they've expanded to a Common Sense Lethbridge,

00:14:26.680 Common Sense Red Deer. So there are activist groups trying to get people moving on things, but

00:14:30.740 all I can say is we just, we have to get off our butts. We have to nag each other and say, hey,

00:14:34.920 get off your butts because yeah calgary is notorious we we don't elect mayors in calgary 0.95

00:14:40.200 they crown them they're coronations i mean ralph klein could have stayed on as the mayor of calgary 0.98

00:14:45.900 until his passing if he hadn't moved on to provincial politics al doer bronconnier nenshi

00:14:51.280 all of them they all stayed on as long as they felt like but gondek is a little different i mean

00:14:56.260 she is really a sour sour person and she actually was the first mayor in a long time she never got 0.99

00:15:01.780 the post electoral bump. People never really warmed up to her. She, she won on a very big

00:15:07.120 vote split in the Cal reelection and a very low turnout. That's what I got to keep telling you

00:15:10.780 about. She, as far as mayors go, is actually very vulnerable two years from now, but we got to get

00:15:17.400 off our arses. That's the only way she'll be replaced. And if we just keep not paying attention

00:15:22.420 to the politics that are closest to us, the unions of the left are going to keep winning it because

00:15:26.560 you know what? As much as they drive us nuts, they're good at what they do. All right, let's

00:15:30.060 talk to somebody else who's good at what she does and that's elise mills commentator strategist and 1.00

00:15:35.660 a political watcher she's been on the show before and uh yeah we want to talk about i guess what's

00:15:40.720 the year that was in the year that's coming uh hi elise thanks for joining us today hi cory thanks

00:15:45.280 for having me what a nice introduction well i like to be nice before i get nasty you know so

00:15:50.100 we'll see what you got to say today before i well you gave me quite a task cory because it was the

00:15:58.120 year that everything erupted. Everything that domestically we had been pushing to the side or

00:16:04.660 the Trudeau government hadn't addressed erupted. It's like Canadians woke up from a long slumber

00:16:13.060 and you know there were a lot of things that happened that shielded the Prime Minister and

00:16:19.900 his government from any accountability. I mean there was this massive eclipse of Trump

00:16:25.560 arriving on the stage in that sort of bombastic way that shook up the global order of things,

00:16:32.340 the politeness. But then came the pandemic and the variations of that, and then the interprovincial

00:16:39.680 differentiations of where we were closing, where we were staying open. And then there was absolute

00:16:45.600 chaos, I think, with the federal government in regards to vaccine rollout, what we had for PPE.

00:16:50.960 and people were just frightened and scared and they were scared and frightened for many different

00:16:56.900 reasons including you know how they were going to raise their kids and still continue to earn a

00:17:01.880 living uh this was uncharted territory so it gave the prime minister a political shield like no other

00:17:08.600 leader has ever received before and it blinded or eclipsed us or as canadians it eclipsed canadians

00:17:15.280 to the reality where it blocked them from the reality of some of the decisions that Mr. Trudeau

00:17:21.760 had made. It also blocked him from being accountable to any of the scandals that he was

00:17:26.780 carrying forward. And everybody was just sort of focused in on themselves and what they were doing

00:17:32.300 and how they were going to get through. And I completely understand it. So the list that I have

00:17:37.700 for you today, Corey, originally started at three. Unfortunately, they all glom on together.

00:17:45.280 There's tentacles. And of course, the economy, I think, was really out of the gate where Canadians 1.00

00:17:53.340 woke up. Interest rates fueled that crisis of confidence for Canadians. And again, it was

00:18:02.020 another, I think, a huge shock and became fear driven for many Canadians. It still is. But really

00:18:08.340 what was underlying the inflation, and yes, there's inflation in the G7, there's inflation

00:18:13.620 everywhere. It's hiding in every crevice and corner. But we in Canada are doing particularly

00:18:19.740 terrible with our economy. Productivity slowed to a crawl. We are now ranked, I think, 10th in the

00:18:29.120 in the G7, or sorry, in the Western countries for our productivity. We're on par with Greece 0.64

00:18:38.000 and Turkey and other places, but the US continued to climb. The problem when you have a slow

00:18:44.140 productivity, you're going to see GDP per capita come to a grinding halt. And a large part of

00:18:51.060 getting GDP going and productivity going is foreign investment. And that gets us to number two,

00:18:58.400 The federal government's regulatory environment. It is a swamp, and I don't mean that in the Trump way. It is discombobulated. It's opaque. Foreign investors are, you know, hesitant to get involved with it.

00:19:15.160 They've been it's been proven to them that it's difficult to get the job done in Canada, specifically in telecommunications, banking, oil and gas, even clean tech, fintech and other technologies as maybe Google and some of the other groups have realized it's a bit predatory out there.

00:19:33.080 This government sees these industrial-based industries or commercial industries as money grabs, and there's always the shifting pillars around the policy.

00:19:45.220 What was good on a Friday may not be great, or the same thing on a Tuesday, and that really has affected foreign investors' confidence, and there's a sentiment out there that Canada can't be trusted to follow through on its swing.

00:19:59.020 So that's the main chunk of my of my first point, Corey. And I'm sure and I read your tweets all the time. Every day I look for them and I know that you've spoken about this. It's it's asinine what's going on here.

00:20:14.960 Well, yeah, I mean, things really seemed to turn around.

00:20:17.600 It was around June, July.

00:20:18.960 I mean, things were kind of static for years.

00:20:21.320 You know, there was a minority government, but the opposition wasn't making gains.

00:20:24.200 The government wasn't dropping.

00:20:25.540 But something happened in June.

00:20:27.160 You know, we saw a divergence and the conservatives rising and the liberal support collapsing.

00:20:31.900 I think a lot of it, I mean, you've hit the root of it.

00:20:33.940 It's the economy.

00:20:35.400 People before, when they thought it could be affordable, hey, you know, saving the climate is great.

00:20:40.620 And virtue signaling that way is fantastic.

00:20:42.900 but when suddenly you can't make the rent, when you can't pay for the groceries, when you realize

00:20:47.960 that you're in some serious economic trouble, nothing else matters anymore. They want somebody

00:20:51.920 serious, not a professional virtue signaler like Justin Trudeau. Well, exactly. And I think that,

00:20:57.980 you know, the chickens all came home to roost. Again, I think unlike you and me who are watching

00:21:05.140 what's happening every single minute of every single day, Canadians are busy raising families,

00:21:10.240 getting to work. I know what those days were like having small children. I was a single mom for many,

00:21:16.640 many, many years. And you're just hustling from, you know, I think I did business in my car more

00:21:23.920 than I ever did in my office, actually. And it's stressful. It's stressful to be a Canadian. And

00:21:29.640 the opportunities at the C-suite and above are just not there in this country. And that can be

00:21:35.340 directly correlated back to a lack of foreign investment. I mean, on the West Coast where I am

00:21:40.740 today, you're not going to see any head offices and we celebrate things like Amazon, you know,

00:21:47.180 centers where packaging comes in. I mean, that shouldn't be what we call a tech investment.

00:21:51.700 It's just ridiculous. But I am really concerned about productivity because productivity leads to

00:21:57.180 that GDP, leads to the foreign investment and leads to good paying jobs. And everybody's talking

00:22:02.060 about how there's all these jobs let's take a look at the at what these jobs really are a lot

00:22:07.700 of them are gig jobs part-time jobs there's lots of jobs with the government but you want to be

00:22:12.100 looking at where the where the economy is growing and it's just not growing it's actually shrinking

00:22:17.300 back and we haven't seen this it became particularly bad uh roughly a few years ago but

00:22:24.720 again canadians weren't watching and anytime someone like me brought it up everyone said

00:22:29.060 shut up it's about the pandemic and let's just keep spending the this gets me in when we talk

00:22:35.400 about spending i think the next top story and i'd like to shed a lot of light on this is national

00:22:40.320 defense this uh three months ago the prime minister announced that he'd be cutting a billion dollars

00:22:46.820 from national defense a billion dollars that he had committed to this is separate to um the

00:22:53.440 discussion uh with world leaders specifically it was something that former president trump brought

00:22:58.460 up, which was making Canada increase its spend in military to 2% of the GDP. Well, that's difficult

00:23:05.720 when Canada's GDP is dropping like a stone. But this is down to some of the basic necessities,

00:23:12.860 what I call the bricks and mortar, the infrastructure, what keeps our soldiers

00:23:17.540 and military men and women safe. And what really concerns me about this is that there hasn't been

00:23:25.220 an overarching military strategy that's the equivalent of where the US, France, Germany,

00:23:32.000 the UK, and surprisingly, places like, you know, Holland and Sweden, who surprisingly

00:23:40.140 are leaders in military AI and new technologies.

00:23:46.160 So we are not looking forward like our allies, and we're not coming anywhere close and being

00:23:51.820 a good ally and partner to the United States. And as you know, world order has changed and it's

00:23:58.720 going to get a lot scarier out there. And Canada is just not in a position. And I'm very concerned

00:24:05.500 about the men and women of our military. And it's absolutely frightening to see what's going on.

00:24:11.140 So that to me, for me personally, was a big story that didn't get enough attention. And I understand

00:24:17.160 why Canadians are having a hard time balancing that grocery bill and putting fuel in the car,

00:24:24.560 especially if you're in British Columbia, where you have three fuel taxes, two carbon and one fuel

00:24:29.240 tax. So I understand that these issues may not be top of mind, but they should be. Foreign policy,

00:24:37.040 I think, will play a big part in the upcoming election as it relates to are we prepared as a

00:24:41.460 country. Well, and getting on to all of that, I mean, I predicted actually, I thought Trudeau was

00:24:49.420 going to pack it in by the end of the year. I was wrong. He's hanging in there. He's as stubborn as

00:24:54.340 ever. So, I mean, you know, kind of getting to the second half. I mean, I know there's only so

00:24:58.160 much we can cover in 15 minutes, but I noticed they've actually seen the first little bump in

00:25:03.100 the polls. That was from David Coletto just today. The first time they've shown a little life in

00:25:07.220 months. You know, you can't rule those liberals out. I wish we could, but you can't. They managed

00:25:13.260 to make some amazing comebacks sometimes. What have we got to look forward to in the coming year?

00:25:18.240 I mean, from the economic and the political point of view. Well, I think, you know, much like cats,

00:25:23.560 liberals have nine lives. And what conservatives need to understand is, and this may not be,

00:25:28.760 you know, what they want to hear, but they come in to, you know, to do cleanup on aisle six when

00:25:33.320 the country has gone pear-shaped and the money is being squandered and people are scared and unsure

00:25:39.040 conservative governments come in and they come in more frequently than they did say you know 20-30

00:25:44.520 years ago. I think we should I saw those polls today Corey I don't buy it because what's brewing

00:25:51.500 on the front benches of the liberals today is the division in the caucus over the UN vote and I

00:25:57.740 think that's probably the beginning of a larger fissure. I think there's lots of frustration on

00:26:03.060 those liberal benches. I think there's blue liberals over there that we might consider to be

00:26:07.760 what we used to call progressive conservatives that have watched some terrible fiscal and monetary

00:26:12.420 policy or lack thereof float by. There's the scandals around the green slush fund. We're

00:26:19.140 watching those committee hearings over the last week. What's come out of that is appalling. There's

00:26:25.100 still many, many scandals with the Trudeau government in regards to foreign interference.

00:26:29.060 And, you know, there's many great reporters like with the Western Standard and Sam Cooper who have done an incredible job on this.

00:26:38.240 And we wouldn't know half of it, but it's very obvious that Trudeau is up to his neck in a lot of this.

00:26:43.800 And I think, you know, you look at an Anthony Housefather or you look at Medellino or any of those guys, they're very vocal today and they're none too pleased.

00:26:53.300 No, and yeah, Cooper has done a fantastic job.

00:26:56.520 I mean, he really digs in there.

00:26:57.760 and such a good job before and then he kind of got unsurprisingly i guess punted from his role

00:27:04.260 in legacy media but he's just uh carried on and resurfaced uh i can't suggest you know strongly

00:27:09.540 suggest enough to people to get out and seek his things out he's he's very good i think viewers

00:27:14.680 of your show need to investigate as to why he was punted from his job i think that pretty much

00:27:21.440 tells the foreign interference story that really rooted itself and grew over the last 25 to 30

00:27:27.280 years in Vancouver. Vancouver's ground zero for why this country looks the way it does and why

00:27:33.280 Canadians are house poor, why Canadians are homeless, why middle-class Canadians are sleeping 0.82

00:27:38.460 in their car. And this to me is a horror show. And quite frankly, I don't understand how we're

00:27:46.400 not having committee hearings or any hearings in regards to the responsibility here. If this was

00:27:53.260 the United States, you think you'd get away with this? No way. So yeah, Sam Cooper deserves a round

00:27:59.100 of applause. And, you know, I know that everyone at the Western Standard is being really supportive

00:28:04.480 of him and his work as well. And he's really made a go of it. And I see it as his, I think it's very

00:28:10.220 patriotic what he's doing. And I think we should all give him a pat on the back because it's a

00:28:16.100 hard, you know, it's a hard road there. You know that, Corey. Yeah, no, there's no easy money in

00:28:22.160 independent media. No thanks to the Trudeau government. No thanks to the Trudeau government.

00:28:30.780 We're not dying on filial, I wish we were, but we're getting all right anyways. So just quickly

00:28:38.600 before we kind of wrap up, the long, long, long awaited inquiry into the Chinese foreign

00:28:46.540 interference thing is kind of going to get underway in the new year. Do you think we're

00:28:50.140 going to see much out of this, or is this just going to be another kind of whitewash dragging

00:28:53.780 it out through a bunch of bland testimony? Well, I think the Trudeau government has

00:28:57.620 demonstrated what it's capable of, which is a fulsome response in trying to bob and weave

00:29:06.220 around this. I mean, it's procedural gymnastics that's gone over there. We couldn't even get

00:29:13.740 the prime minister, any staff from the prime minister's office. We can't hear from the prime

00:29:18.240 Minister, he's denied all of it. But the evidence really demonstrates that he was very aware that

00:29:23.360 he was informed that this was taking place. Now, foreign interference, we just should highlight

00:29:28.360 what I referred to in the housing market in British Columbia, and in our politics in BC,

00:29:34.880 we were warned about it here much, much earlier than that, as of 2009. And the national media

00:29:43.400 said, no, it's Russia. And poor Richard Fadden, the former director of CISA said, no, it's actually

00:29:48.700 China. And so BC, what happened here is a virus that has spread, which is no longer just a Chinese 0.97

00:29:57.080 problem. It's a Russian problem. It's manifested. But foreign interference and money laundering

00:30:05.440 are connected not just to our democracy, but our financial freedoms, our personal freedoms,

00:30:11.260 our ability to own a home, it's all in there. And that's why I'm saying there's so many tentacles

00:30:16.060 as Sam Cooper has done a brilliant job sort of, you know, slicing it out and saying, hey,

00:30:22.660 this happened so that this could happen. And the political interference is not just to mess with

00:30:27.960 our democracy, it is to mess with our economy. And it's made Canadians poor. It's put us at a

00:30:35.040 huge disadvantage in our freedoms and our economic freedoms. Absolutely. Well, thanks to Sam's work

00:30:40.620 And hopefully with the inquiry, we get some more information and resolution and start to block some of these holes, because it's just been, it's a giant spider web.

00:30:48.340 We'll have to come on and talk about that just all by itself.

00:30:50.620 It has to be an RCMP investigation, like Folsom, in a way that you would see, you've seen what the FBI and CIA have done in regards to India and the States.

00:30:59.820 I mean, our responses are not comparable to what the UK and the United States does.

00:31:04.980 So I just want to say that because I'm incredibly disappointed by the country.

00:31:09.300 Oh, definitely.

00:31:10.360 It's a much bigger deal than has been given credit, unfortunately, for political.

00:31:14.000 Yeah, it is.

00:31:15.020 Hopefully that changes.

00:31:16.360 But boy, the time went fast and I appreciate you checking.

00:31:19.460 I know there was a lot to cover, but I think, you know, we covered quite a bit in there.

00:31:22.880 Where can people find out more about what you're up to, Elise, and see your commentary out there?

00:31:27.400 You can follow me at MillsyElise on Twitter.

00:31:31.660 And it's IE at the end of Millsy.

00:31:34.480 You can find me on LinkedIn.

00:31:36.020 I have an open profile there.

00:31:38.140 and hopefully you'll find me back here sitting or standing across from Corey Morgan relatively soon.

00:31:46.420 We'll have you on again soon. It's always great to have you in. Thanks, Elise, and we'll talk

00:31:51.520 again soon. Thank you, Corey. Take care. Bye. Yes, that is Elise Mills, and yes, she's prolific 0.59

00:31:56.760 online. You can see her commentary and stuff everywhere. Shamefully, she was with the CBC

00:32:01.120 for a while, but we won't hold that against her. It was a better institution at a different time.

00:32:05.480 so yeah lots going on federally and again you know 15 minutes here just not enough to cover

00:32:09.960 but at least to kind of get in a nutshell what's been going on this year and the amount of things

00:32:13.020 that are building and that's what's going on is they're building and we'll see what blows up in

00:32:17.520 the new year i see a couple other commenters coming in shauna vism and it says vision from

00:32:21.920 atlanta canada i like when i see people on the other coast i like seeing people local like gordon

00:32:25.400 from brooks as well checking in and and uh uh angela in alaska just reminds me you know we're

00:32:31.120 talking to a whole lot of people here, getting a whole lot of views. I'm going to speak to something

00:32:36.320 a little more local, but it talks to a broader issue. This is something that's just disturbing.

00:32:40.480 I'm seeing the news. It's on the Western Standard site, but it's on other news sites as well and

00:32:43.680 everything. So a man, and I'm going to say a man named Laverne Waska Hat is a repeat pervert 1.00

00:32:52.680 baby raper. Literal, literal. This person has been convicted of creating child porn with infants 0.91

00:33:01.080 Not even just children. I mean, it's horrible anybody under 18. We're talking under three years old. And this man now identifies as a she. I don't care. This is just more crap and politically correct subterfuge when we've been warned that this person's been released and they feel this person's going to re-offend this man. 1.00

00:33:24.000 And this man was also released in 2019 and re-offended and got put back in jail and released in 2020 and re-offended and got put back in jail. 0.98

00:33:34.260 Watch for this man.

00:33:36.400 And you know why I get so upset?

00:33:37.600 It isn't just the trans thing and so on.

00:33:39.620 It's that this is somebody we need to watch out for. 0.97

00:33:42.180 This is a dangerous person.

00:33:43.720 This is somebody you don't want near you and most definitely not near your children.

00:33:48.480 So we want as close to an accurate description of this pervert as possible. 0.98

00:33:53.560 and this pervert is a man. I don't care if he identifies as a she. I noticed in a global news 1.00

00:34:00.260 story about this pervert that it refers to itself as a V them. It's a man and a dangerous one. The 0.97

00:34:08.320 other thing they won't talk about, the police don't talk about with their release, but as you

00:34:12.160 can see from the picture, it is a man of First Nations origin. I'm not saying that every First

00:34:17.280 Nations person is a pervert, not by any means, but it's another descriptor that is important when 0.67

00:34:22.840 you're watching out for somebody. It's not saying watch out for every First Nations person, but it 0.99

00:34:26.740 helps you when looking out and watching out and making sure this pervert doesn't get near your

00:34:32.760 kids. Unfortunately, unfortunately, he's going to do it again. The ones like this always do. I don't

00:34:39.680 know who the poor victim or victims are going to be, but this is where the political correct, 0.99

00:34:46.540 the woke the crazed garbage this gender identity crap crosses a different line it's not a matter 1.00

00:34:53.420 of novel it's not a matter of just somebody some student saying i'm a she this week i'm a he next 1.00

00:34:58.700 week i'm a they them the week after that no this is news media and police forces giving a clear man

00:35:05.820 a different gender identity what if you're only hearing about this person on the radio you think

00:35:11.460 it's somebody named laverne who identifies as a she and you'll be on the lookout for a woman

00:35:15.960 It's not.

00:35:17.200 It's a man.

00:35:18.780 I'm sick of this.

00:35:19.820 I'm sick of it.

00:35:20.560 It gets to the point now of dangerous, of putting children at risk.

00:35:24.100 Identify however you please.

00:35:26.380 But when we're describing a dangerous criminal as being released on our streets

00:35:29.460 that's going to harm our children,

00:35:31.100 I want the descriptors to be as accurate as possible.

00:35:34.340 So yes, if it means we have to misgender, yeah, right, 1.00

00:35:39.060 this person from the gender identity they want to choose, too damn bad. 0.83

00:35:43.960 so keep an eye out people of Alberta 0.99

00:35:45.920 everywhere watch out for this pervert 0.98

00:35:48.160 let's hope that he 0.99

00:35:49.760 is incarcerated without doing much harm

00:35:52.160 soon and never gets out again

00:35:54.140 the world's just gone mad

00:35:56.300 let's see what else

00:35:58.260 going on in the news you know unfortunately lots of

00:36:00.160 bad things but that's just the way it goes

00:36:01.740 the RCMP you know for a warning in southern Saskatchewan

00:36:04.360 there's a harmful type of fentanyl going around well

00:36:06.180 all fentanyl is harmful

00:36:07.940 you know that's one of the things I get tired of the sugar 0.96

00:36:10.140 coating and the woke and the other garbage too and they talk about 0.96

00:36:12.060 drug intoxication 0.81

00:36:13.960 it's an overdose. It's an overdose. It's not bad supply. There's no good supply, okay? Not when

00:36:20.580 it's self-administered, not when it's bought in the street, or even when it comes from a dispensary.

00:36:25.300 They're street drugs, and they're abused, and they're dangerous. But this particular fentanyl,

00:36:29.980 I guess now, it's going around Swift Current and Moose Jaw, is even worse because apparently it

00:36:33.620 doesn't even respond to naloxone, which has been very effective on pulling people out of an overdose.

00:36:38.260 doesn't always save them but has a better chance of it and uh just the heads up guys uh this is

00:36:44.420 going around now again this kind of puts a bit of lie to to the safe supply the enablist crowd 0.99

00:36:49.560 and those people and such that you know you're playing whack-a-mole here guys you aren't going

00:36:56.180 to win you can have your dispensaries you can give out drugs all you're doing is creating more

00:36:59.620 addicts and the addicts and i know dave mentioned earlier i don't drink there's a reason it's because

00:37:03.900 I'm an alcoholic. It's an escalating thing. You start here and you keep having more and more and

00:37:08.580 more. You get more tolerance, you get more cravings and it goes up. So whenever they hand

00:37:12.020 out the dispensaries, we're seeing that in the West coast, we're seeing it in Vancouver already

00:37:15.060 is they get the free drugs from the dispensary. They go out, they don't want that. It's not good

00:37:20.040 enough for their fix. They sell that often to people who aren't addicted yet, creates new

00:37:25.300 addicts. And then they take the money from that and they go out and buy the more powerful and

00:37:28.840 more dangerous street garbage that's out there. And unfortunately, it kills them, kills them a 0.97

00:37:34.100 lot. It causes a lot of addiction. And then we get into the politically correct and the woke

00:37:37.900 and another denial when it's putting people at more risk and making them unsafe. So in Calgary,

00:37:43.640 people might have heard this story. It is tragic. At a local hardware store, there's a shed, you

00:37:51.220 know, a display shed is a, you know, if you were going to build a shed in your yard or whatever,

00:37:55.420 you see them all in the parking lots of stores. It turns out a number of homeless people have been

00:37:58.940 living in that shed for quite a while actually already. That's one of the things too is the

00:38:02.540 company, of course, I'm just going to guess, but they look the other way because they just don't

00:38:06.300 want the public relations grief of evicting them. We'll just let it be. But the problem is

00:38:11.100 something happened. The thing caught on fire and it killed all three people in it the other night.

00:38:16.880 Now I'm just guessing. I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. But I'm going out and I think

00:38:22.620 some pretty well-educated guesses on what happened here. These are addicts. It was cold.

00:38:28.220 They probably took fentanyl because it knocks you cold. I talked about my colonoscopy and they gave

00:38:32.700 me that stuff that time. I tell you, it's effective when properly applied by a doctor.

00:38:36.760 You don't feel anything. And when they were zonked out on that, whatever they had for heating in

00:38:41.480 there, whether it was candles or a propane stove, or maybe it was just a lighter they were using to

00:38:45.980 light their pipe and they dropped it on the floor when they gnawed it out, but they were unconscious.

00:38:49.860 the shed caught on fire. It's not hard to get out of a shed, guys. We're talking small. You open the

00:38:53.760 door, you dive out. But if you're all unconscious on, you know, fentanyl, well, then you burn to

00:38:59.440 death. And it's terrible. It's terrible. But you see the problem as well. Sure enough, out of the

00:39:04.620 woodworks, here they all come. This was caused because we have a lack of housing. No, it was

00:39:11.680 caused because they were heavily addicted to a dangerous drug. That's why they're homeless. You

00:39:18.260 see, we got this, again, the enablers, they just don't want to admit the problems with addiction

00:39:23.520 and the problems with kicking everybody out of our mental health institutions as well.

00:39:28.740 They try to say the people are on the street because we don't have enough houses. And it's

00:39:31.700 true, we don't have enough houses and the rents are too high. But seriously, seriously, when you

00:39:36.420 see the one zoned out, nodding off at a bus stop, do you think that person's ready for a home,

00:39:41.200 a regular home yet? The reason the person's like that was because they couldn't find an

00:39:45.360 apartment somewhere? No. Do you think that people who lit that shed and unfortunately killed

00:39:51.760 themselves are ready for a house, a fourplex somewhere? No. They would strip the copper out

00:39:58.020 of the walls and sell it for their next fix, and they would probably burn that place down too.

00:40:02.480 It's not saying we should turn our back on these people. It's not saying they don't need shelter.

00:40:06.920 The cold snaps are going to come eventually, and it's going to be terrible to them.

00:40:10.540 But we've got to face it with reality. We want to shelter the addicts, and I think we should. I

00:40:14.880 think we should intervene. I think Daniel Smith, premier of Alberta has been saying the right

00:40:18.440 things and we've got to get in there and intervene even if against their own will and take them off

00:40:24.520 the streets because they're going to die there. And I understand that forced intervention doesn't

00:40:29.860 have a big success rate with drug treatment, but you know what? Leaving them on the streets as a

00:40:33.960 death sentence and they aren't ready for just a bloody house. We need housing. We need secured

00:40:39.400 housing for addiction treatment. We're talking virtual concrete walls, because you have to be

00:40:44.900 able to hose it out when you're done and they can't burn it. That's the short term. I'm not

00:40:49.240 talking about incarcerating long term, but I've got to get real. Keep pretending, oh, this is just

00:40:54.320 somebody who was down and out and couldn't get an apartment. No, they're a junkie. We see them on

00:40:59.060 the street corners. We see them downtown. We see them behind the dumpsters. And I'm tired of other

00:41:03.620 people that, well, what about their dignity? What dignities left? Really? And they really are. You

00:41:10.560 know, people say, you should be nicer about this. This is somebody's daughter. This is somebody's

00:41:13.860 cousin, somebody's brother. Absolutely. They are. And I do worry about that. And I do feel for those

00:41:17.840 families. What would the family prefer though? Would they prefer the state stepped in and grab

00:41:22.120 them and put them into a secured facility and at least tried? Or would you rather that family's

00:41:29.960 daughter still sexually service guys to make enough money for the next fix. Or the son gets 1.00

00:41:35.180 beaten half to death because he was trying to steal something from somebody's backyard to get

00:41:39.040 his next fix. Which way has more dignity? Which way is better? Which way has a better chance

00:41:44.440 of a future? Hard realities, guys, they suck. But they're better than the fuzzy headed enablement 0.99

00:41:52.120 cult thinking that we can just keep feeding them free drugs and just keep saying it just needs

00:41:57.200 housing and refusing to address the underlying issues of untreated mental health issues and a

00:42:03.980 serious, serious addiction problem. So quit pissing around. We're going to see more and more

00:42:09.080 of these cases, unfortunately, with tragic endings. Let's see what else we got going on.

00:42:16.080 We got a case going on coastal gas link. So that's the pipeline. It's been under construction

00:42:20.880 seems forever. That's the one that Dave mentioned earlier, the Wet'suwet'en, which is a split 0.99

00:42:25.660 First Nations band that's out in Interior, BC, that they have elected people who support the

00:42:31.160 pipe, but the environmentalists pulled up all these fake chiefs, and I'll call them fake,

00:42:35.120 they're hereditary chiefs, who they feel should be able to override the pipeline and stop the 0.55

00:42:39.680 construction. It'd be like having Prince Charles come out to Calgary, or sorry, King Charles,

00:42:43.700 I'm still getting used to that, and tell us how we're going to run our business out here. Guys,

00:42:47.320 those days are done. Either way, they finally got the bloody thing done. And it was delay after

00:42:52.200 delay after delay, and it came in, you know, billions over budget, way too late. It's finally

00:42:59.000 almost finished though, even though there was a terrorist attack on the north end of that thing,

00:43:02.840 you might not remember that, but yeah, they went and there were terrorists, attacked police and

00:43:07.320 security and construction workers up north. You know what, there was never an arrest, never caught

00:43:11.700 anybody on it. Either way, now TC Energy is filing a suit against the Pacific Atlantic Pipeline

00:43:17.040 a construction company for 1.2 billion claiming that a poor performance in constructing it.

00:43:23.240 It's interesting. They say it's precedent setting. I don't know if they'll get the money. The bottom

00:43:27.300 line is if anybody should be sued, it should be the government who didn't get in and stop

00:43:31.840 the bloody protests who kept hindering and holding up and slowing the construction of that thing over

00:43:36.860 and over again. Likewise, with the Trans Mountain line, the idiots have blown the budget on that 1.00

00:43:41.560 thing by what? You know, over $20 billion government run and delays and delays and delays. 1.00

00:43:46.540 There's another delay now or some easement change they wanted to make. 0.68

00:43:50.680 It's ridiculous.

00:43:52.440 I guess if they can recover a bit of money from that other company from Italy or whatever, good luck to you.

00:43:57.180 But that wasn't the root of the problem.

00:43:58.540 The root of the problem was that this thing was held up by protesters constantly in a government that's too cowardly to actually tell them to go to hell and say this thing is going ahead.

00:44:09.940 Likewise with the Trans Mountain.

00:44:11.040 I mean, it was regulated nearly to death.

00:44:13.360 Speaking of housing, I mean, getting back to something that's been announced recently.

00:44:16.600 The government's talking about going back to a World War II policy of, you know, bringing in some pre-designed houses and saying they can speed the process because these are already, you know, designed and approved and they can build them faster.

00:44:28.340 Okay, why do we need the federal government to do that?

00:44:30.720 What they are addressing is, yes, they're right and yes, they're wrong.

00:44:34.600 We need more housing and we need to speed it up.

00:44:37.960 We need to speed up the approvals.

00:44:39.860 We need to speed up the process to get these things built.

00:44:42.780 But it's not a matter of the design of the house, it's a matter of these overreaching governments on every level.

00:44:48.540 The federal government with their environmental controls, the provincial government with their pandering,

00:44:52.140 and the civic governments with their, again, fear of stirring up the people who already own houses.

00:44:58.980 Zoning changes are hard, new developments are hard to get approved.

00:45:02.380 It takes years and years.

00:45:03.920 Paperwork red tape approvals. 0.99

00:45:06.220 Strip all that crap out. 1.00

00:45:08.080 Fire a bunch of useless bureaucrats. 1.00

00:45:09.660 City halls jammed with them. 1.00

00:45:11.260 The provincial government is jammed with them.

00:45:13.200 The federal government is jammed with them. 1.00

00:45:14.280 And just build the damn things. 0.99

00:45:16.380 We don't need to dig up and consult over a World War II policy. 0.99

00:45:19.700 And you've got to remember, somebody's got to have the courage to tell some of the existing homeowners,

00:45:23.460 too damn bad, that new district's going in next door, get over it. 0.99

00:45:26.040 Because that's part of the problem with the politicians.

00:45:27.300 We've got the I got mine mentality, but I don't want anybody else to build theirs.

00:45:31.540 So I'll close with pointing out Ekshaw.

00:45:33.360 Dave mentioned it earlier.

00:45:34.580 Ekshaw is a little community just into the mountains.

00:45:38.220 Anybody who's driven to Banff has seen it.

00:45:39.840 There's a couple of great big towers and a couple of factories.

00:45:42.460 They make concrete there.

00:45:43.320 And yes, I grew up in Banff.

00:45:44.500 I'm very familiar with it.

00:45:45.960 Exshaw itself is a town right at the factory.

00:45:48.940 It's right there.

00:45:49.480 It was built for people to work in the cement plant.

00:45:52.820 And now a bunch of those citizens there who moved out afterwards,

00:45:57.180 they don't work there anymore.

00:45:58.320 They just move because you don't need the staff like you used to.

00:46:00.380 They're whining and suing the concrete plant because it's dusty and loud.

00:46:05.180 Why the hell do you think you managed to buy a house 40% cheaper there

00:46:08.780 than in the town of Canmore farther up the valley

00:46:10.980 because you bought next to

00:46:13.000 a factory. I'll sue the factory

00:46:14.980 afterwards, but that's the stupidity 1.00

00:46:16.920 and the arrogance and the attitude 1.00

00:46:18.780 of some people when they got that. I got mine

00:46:20.800 attitude, now let's stop everything else.

00:46:23.180 So, civic politicians

00:46:25.060 are going to get the courage to stand up to some of those people

00:46:27.100 and provincial and federal, or

00:46:29.020 our housing is not going to grow, it's not going to

00:46:30.920 keep up, and it's not getting any better. I know, asking

00:46:32.860 for politicians to have courage, I'm

00:46:34.980 asking the impossible, but I've got to keep

00:46:37.000 trying, folks. All right, that's what I got for today, guys. Be sure to tune in. The pipeline,

00:46:41.280 as Dave mentioned, will be on later. There'll be more discussion with him and Nigel and myself on

00:46:45.300 a number of other issues. And watch for all the rest of this stuff on the westernstandard.news,

00:46:50.640 guys. It's constantly breaking stuff out there. It's important, and we are covering it for you.

00:46:54.520 So thank you all for tuning in today. Share the links with other people so we can keep building

00:46:58.940 this audience. And I will see you all next week at this time. I got an extra special guest on.

00:47:04.040 I'll announce that later. Have a good day.

00:47:07.000 Canadian Shooting Sports Association

00:47:37.000 Without the CSSA, our gun rights would have been taken long, long ago.

00:47:41.560 These guys are on the front lines, helping to draft smart and intelligent firearms regulations and legislation in Canada.

00:47:49.240 And more importantly, educating the public about how we keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people.

00:47:54.540 To become a member, it's absolutely worth every penny.
