00:00:00.000 Good day and welcome to the Corey Morgan Show.
00:00:29.780 the place where you got to get your news your updates i mean come on there's none of that bs
00:00:34.540 legacy media stuff here or at least you get my opinion on all of that stuff i mean it's debatable
00:00:40.400 on how accurate it may or may not be but you're going to get it if you're tuning in anyway i want
00:00:44.460 to kind of start by uh again thanking some of the people i've been on the speaking circuit lately
00:00:48.200 hitting all these towns in alberta they've just been packing the houses on these independence
00:00:52.360 talks with this let's talk alberta thing i was in tilly alberta last night great full room of people
00:00:58.600 The movement is still going on.
00:01:00.540 Whatever's happening with the referendum,
00:01:03.500 this ball's rolling.
00:01:05.140 It's not going to stop.
00:01:06.040 It's really been something else to observe.
00:01:07.700 All right, so in a little while, I'm going to have,
00:01:09.860 it's been a few years since he's been on,
00:01:11.520 but he's been on before.
00:01:12.300 You've probably seen him on social media.
00:01:14.620 Farouk El-Sagir.
00:01:17.860 Maybe he'll correct me on the pronunciation.
00:01:19.820 But he's the fellow running Paul's Pizza
00:01:21.880 who's got the world of the woke all wound up
00:01:24.460 in the canceled crowd with the pitchforks and torches
00:01:26.640 outside of his place.
00:01:28.060 It should be a good, fun conversation.
00:01:30.180 And really, guys, they actually do have good pizza there.
00:01:34.240 And of course, there'll be some news updates.
00:01:36.140 I got the Substitute Dave in today, so it'll be a good chat there as well.
00:01:39.240 I'll start with what I'm going to rant about today, though.
00:01:42.280 And I mean, I have to hit it, get right to the point.
00:01:44.920 Canada is a crappy place to invest into or do business in.
00:01:49.520 I mean, the regulatory environment, coupled with general ineptitude from the government,
00:01:52.960 has been strangling the Canadian economy for over a decade.
00:01:55.760 We had a recent report from RBC concluding over a trillion dollars in capital has fled Canada in the last 10 years.
00:02:02.860 It's not Fraser Institute or one of those places you can question.
00:02:05.940 It's RBC.
00:02:07.300 The GDP per capita continues to drop, and it looks to be an outer freefall when you compare it to the United States.
00:02:13.900 We're getting poorer.
00:02:15.420 Canada's productivity is horrific as well.
00:02:17.580 When you look at those numbers, we average 73 U.S. dollars per hour per person,
00:02:22.360 compared to 97 U.S. dollars per hour per person in the United States.
00:02:26.980 So even the Kearney government can no longer ignore this.
00:02:30.580 Instead of addressing, though, the root causes of why Canada has become an investment pariah,
00:02:35.700 the Kearney government has instead announced the creation of a $25 billion,
00:02:40.380 quote-unquote, sovereign wealth fund.
00:02:42.420 If investors won't invest in Canada now, they feel that they might get part of their investment
00:02:48.900 covered through a fund created by, you know, debt dumped on taxpayers. That'll bring them in,
00:02:52.860 right? Citizens who truly hate their pocketbook are also invited to invest into this catastrophe
00:02:58.640 and waiting. The government will set the standards of how they'll determine who gets a piece of this
00:03:02.840 fund, and that invariably leads to well-connected insiders with questionable investment notions.
00:03:08.440 The grifters can smell opportunities like this a mile away, and rest assured they're already
00:03:11.800 salivating over this one. The foundation of this fund, it's like the debacle of the Trans Mountain
00:03:16.740 pipeline expansion. Government policies made expanding the pipeline so economically unviable,
00:03:21.700 the private proponent of the project pulled the plug. Even the Trudeau government realized it
00:03:27.100 pushed things too far, but rather than cut away the roadblocks, all they had to do was get out
00:03:30.460 of the damn way. And that's what had driven the investors away. The government bought the project.
00:03:35.100 Then through typical mismanagement, they built the project at a 600% higher price
00:03:40.600 And years late, the taxpayer never needed to invest a penny
00:03:44.700 if the government were just a step to side.
00:03:47.540 The principal reason means the same with these other major projects.
00:03:50.680 The government's the problem.
00:03:52.300 Canada's new spaceport, that's another prime example of what happens
00:03:55.360 when the government rushes to invest in something.
00:03:57.440 A handful of creative souls who leased property from the government
00:04:00.160 for thousands a year managed to lease it back to the government
00:04:03.240 for $20 million a year.
00:04:05.000 And some of it's even retroactive.
00:04:06.720 All that land contains is a gravel road leading to a small concrete
00:04:09.920 pad. Perhaps maybe there's a little hand-scrawled note there saying Rocket Porch or something as
00:04:14.720 well. Just think of what those economic wizards could do with $25 billion or more to play with.
00:04:19.540 Carney's already been misrepresenting this fund by calling it a sovereign wealth fund and
00:04:22.980 comparing it to what Norway has. Sovereign wealth funds are created through government surpluses,
00:04:28.380 not by putting the bill on the credit card of the taxpayers. The funds typically have a mandate of
00:04:33.620 stabilizing the local economy and investing to get a maximum rate of return. In Norway, the fund,
00:04:38.280 their fund, purposely invests 100% outside of Norway, so it doesn't meddle with the domestic
00:04:44.260 economy. It also is mostly placed in relatively safe equities, real estate, and bonds. Carney's
00:04:50.720 debt fund is going to stay 100% within Canada and is going to be dedicated to high-risk investments.
00:04:56.460 If the investments weren't high-risk, private investors would buy in without tax funding.
00:05:00.940 This is just another corporate welfare fund which will predominantly invest in losers,
00:05:04.780 And it's likely going to be targeted to areas where Liberals need growth and electoral support
00:05:08.500 rather than areas actually needed development.
00:05:10.840 Look, we already have the Canada Infrastructure Bank and other government subsidy programs in place.
00:05:15.000 We don't need another one.
00:05:16.600 All these funds and initiatives avoid addressing the elephant in the room.
00:05:20.140 Political red tape in general has been hampering all developments.
00:05:23.580 And the granddaddy of all those roadblocks is the de facto veto authority
00:05:26.660 given to Indigenous bands over all projects.
00:05:29.640 Chiefs, both elected and appointed, along with a plethora of lawyers and bureaucrats,
00:05:33.900 swarm every new development with demands and threats despite not having the authority to stop
00:05:38.040 them. Not a single major project in Canada has been proposed that doesn't have one Indigenous
00:05:42.540 band or another opposing it. The government must stop indulging these claims and lay down the law.
00:05:48.660 Consultation with Indigenous groups is a constitutional requirement, but consent is not.
00:05:53.560 If the government could find the courage to stand on its real authority and guarantee that projects
00:05:58.780 would be completed despite Indigenous opposition, the investment dollars would flood in. Canada's
00:06:03.680 loaded with resources the world wants, and investors would be eager to dive into them.
00:06:07.820 Alas, though, courage and liberals aren't terms we often see hand-in-hand. Slush funds created
00:06:12.660 through indebting citizens are easier to create than taking principled stands and governing
00:06:16.740 responsibly. This new sovereign wealth fund is just another indication of what an increasing
00:06:22.120 number of Western Canadians are realizing. Canada is broken. All right, well, I guess
00:06:27.660 off to an upbeat sort of thing. How's it going, Dave? Yeah, no bad, Corey. It's been a while.
00:06:33.240 How's things?
00:06:33.820 Good, good.
00:06:34.460 Now, it's about time you came on here.
00:06:36.000 Guys, a lot of the news you're seeing is coming out of him happily typing away back in the newsroom over there.
00:06:42.740 Just a bit, just a bit.
00:06:43.760 Well, I got a few things for you, Corey, today.
00:06:45.340 I mean, well, I guess one of the big ones is Alberta's finally raised the speed limit to 120 kilometers an hour over a little stretch of highway.
00:06:51.780 I think it's Highway 2 south of Leduc as part of a pilot project.
00:06:54.880 So that'll be interesting to see what happens there.
00:06:56.540 I mean, I know it's been fairly popular with the public so far for the people they've polled.
00:07:00.080 But, I mean, well, I hope everything goes well.
00:07:02.360 Well, we hope.
00:07:02.880 But, I mean, we'll see what the opposition comes, right?
00:07:05.120 Every time there's a fender bender or a crash, they're going to say,
00:07:07.340 well, that was because of the limit.
00:07:08.240 That was because of the limit, you know.
00:07:10.400 It's just maybe it's just because of bad driving.
00:07:12.380 Oh, yeah, I would 100% agree with that.
00:07:14.020 And a nice story as well, too, is I don't know if you probably saw this.
00:07:16.720 The Buffalo Sabres fans last night stepped up and sang,
00:07:19.740 oh, Canada, after the mic cut out for the singer in their game against the Bruins,
00:07:22.700 which is kind of a nice story because I think in the past few years,
00:07:24.740 there's been fans on both sides booing both national anthems.
00:07:27.980 So it's kind of nice to see that, even though people can say in Buffalo
00:07:30.280 there's probably a lot of Canadian fans that's right across the border.
00:07:32.540 but no it was a good gesture and i i think it was a nice change from the torqued environment
00:07:38.380 to things going i mean i you know i'm an independent supporter but i'm not there to
00:07:41.280 undercut the anthem or things like that just showing i think actually that some of those
00:07:46.240 guys trying to say that the americans are nasty and they're gnashing at us and they want to
00:07:49.920 not everybody in that room was necessarily canadian singing that anthem they just kicked in
00:07:54.140 hopefully we get more of that i mean it's it's the relationship between our southern partner
00:07:59.140 has been pretty badly beaten on and eroded over this last year.
00:08:02.280 I blame some of it on the crazy orange man,
00:08:04.080 but there's been no shortage of vitriol on our side too.
00:08:07.840 Oh, I would definitely agree with that.
00:08:08.900 Yeah, and we were talking before this just actually broke just recently.
00:08:12.140 City of Calgary said that their CEO, David Duckworth,
00:08:14.740 longtime CEO, is finally stepping down.
00:08:16.380 I think it's going to be effective, I think, May 1st.
00:08:18.720 And they said it's on the departures, I mutually agreed.
00:08:21.480 So I don't know if there's any controversy to that
00:08:23.360 or what the deal is exactly,
00:08:24.660 because he's been there for a long time
00:08:26.160 through a lot of administrations, I believe.
00:08:27.860 Yeah, I mean, it's funny with the, you know,
00:08:29.140 a lot of people don't look at city halls enough to realize that it's those insiders,
00:08:32.140 those, these guys make some good bucks too.
00:08:34.200 Well, I mean, if they're doing it right, it's potentially worth it.
00:08:36.680 They're managing billions of dollars worth of, of, uh, infrastructure and operations,
00:08:40.520 but they always tighten up.
00:08:42.380 It seems to me there was a fellow in transportation named Trevor Morgan, I think it was, or
00:08:46.060 some years ago, but he left instantly and there were some rumors of some really crazy
00:08:50.840 stuff that had gone on, but they closed the ranks, everything went silent, and then he
00:08:54.620 just rode off into the sunset with a, you know, probably a six figure severance package.
00:08:58.300 Oh yeah, probably the same.
00:08:58.980 And I guess this one being mutually agreed, I imagine he's giving a soft landing, but maybe hopefully at least to some reforms in that city hall, I guess.
00:09:06.800 Well, you would think so, hopefully.
00:09:07.920 This is kind of a fun one.
00:09:08.820 Do you remember the Briex scandal from the 90s?
00:09:11.160 Oh, just forget.
00:09:11.840 I wish I'd have got in in that first part.
00:09:14.700 Well, this is kind of similar because apparently the RCMP have charged the guy who was the former CEO of RPX Gold for fraud and forgery because they're alleging that he's been manipulating mining data that was tied to a Northern Ontario gold project.
00:09:27.120 i think it was called wawa gold project so it's kind of like the briex thing except not as big
00:09:32.880 at least so far as from what we know okay well the briex one the thing that still got me with
00:09:36.640 all of that too though was the two big principles in that uh walsh who was in the bahamas who
00:09:43.360 suddenly died of a heart attack it's one of those things i mean i watch too many tv shows
00:09:47.840 maybe they should just look for a syringe mark or something on him and uh de guzman i think it was
00:09:52.400 was the name of the Filipino gentleman, the engineer who engineered the fraud, jumped
00:09:58.540 out of a helicopter on a ride.
00:10:00.700 You know, when you rip people off for billions, your life expectancy just isn't really that
00:10:06.480 long.
00:10:07.200 You would assume so, yeah.
00:10:08.540 They never proved anything otherwise.
00:10:10.200 Yeah.
00:10:10.500 Apparently, it was just a run-of-the-mill heart attack and a suicide out of the helicopter.
00:10:13.920 Yeah, exactly.
00:10:14.420 Well, he's supposed to be showing up in court by, I think it's June 5th, so I guess we'll
00:10:17.320 see what happens then.
00:10:18.300 Yeah.
00:10:18.740 Well, let's get to see history repeating itself.
00:10:20.640 I would suggest this man not take any helicopter rides.
00:10:23.840 Yeah, I know.
00:10:24.620 And this morning, actually, I think it was Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson
00:10:28.620 announced at a conference in Ottawa that the federal government's going to be
00:10:31.800 advancing their new nuclear energy strategy and committing billions to expanding the sector
00:10:36.840 and developing technologies.
00:10:38.440 I was just curious what your whole thoughts are on nuclear power going forward.
00:10:41.420 I think it's great if the government doesn't irresponsibly screw it up.
00:10:44.280 So that's a big caveat because the government loves doing that.
00:10:46.280 But I don't have a beef with nuclear generation abilities.
00:10:48.600 We've got Saskatchewan with, with all of those uranium supplies.
00:10:51.760 We've got, uh, you know, it's getting aged and out of date.
00:10:54.560 I mean, the can do initiatives where we're very successful.
00:10:57.520 Like if they could just get the, over the hangups with nuclear.
00:11:01.980 I think it's all the safety thing that they'll think it's like another
00:11:03.780 Chernobyl or meltdown, like, was it Fukushima or whatnot in Japan?
00:11:06.760 But I'm like, that's just.
00:11:07.820 Yeah.
00:11:07.980 That was a tsunami and Chernobyl was a, you know, a run by a Soviet system.
00:11:12.220 They couldn't manage to invent a functional alarm clock.
00:11:15.060 It's not much wonder that they had a meltdown, but, uh,
00:11:18.000 we'll see. There you go, exactly. And also the last one is, Calgary police apparently have laid
00:11:23.200 firearm charges, trafficking charges against a 44-year-old man as part of an expanded
00:11:27.780 investigation that was into a 2025 shooting death of Madison Cobb. I don't know if you remember that
00:11:32.260 one, but apparently there's more to this now. Apparently the probes uncovered several weapons
00:11:36.280 and prohibited items going forward, so this might be bigger than just one little murder.
00:11:40.600 Yeah, there's something about it. It was about a firearm with a filed-off serial number.
00:11:44.700 I believe so, yeah, correct, yeah, and that's going into trafficking, I think, so yeah, it's going deeper, I suppose, you could say.
00:11:49.580 I just hope more people pay attention, you know, realize here's where the problems are, these traffickers, these gangsters, these problematic people, but the government's too busy chasing our hunters.
00:11:57.840 Yeah, legal gun owners, yeah, exactly.
00:11:59.600 I didn't see Grandpa's 12-gauge out there using crime.
00:12:01.680 Yeah, exactly.
00:12:04.380 That's about all I got for you today, Corey.
00:12:06.060 Right on, it was plenty, I guess.
00:12:07.620 I suppose.
00:12:08.000 It's been kind of a quiet news day so far.
00:12:09.420 Yeah, so far, yeah, yeah.
00:12:10.780 I don't know, it's usually a lull before the storm, I'm sure.
00:12:12.860 Yeah, probably, yeah.
00:12:13.780 insane will blow up tomorrow yeah looking forward to seeing what you're right about it and uh
00:12:18.580 well thank you for the update and keeping things rolling for us dave sounds like a plan now thanks
00:12:22.420 corey appreciate it all right that is our main uh i don't know what's your title description
00:12:28.500 these days though uh that's a good question you're a senior reporter or maybe senior reporter it just
00:12:34.340 says reporter on the the name tag i think so but i mean you're i think so now yeah it seems like
00:12:39.300 There's a bunch of young guys now, yeah.
00:12:40.540 The heroine stardom pole within the newsroom.
00:12:44.220 You're getting near the top in my view anyway.
00:12:45.940 I would think so, I guess.
00:12:46.640 All right, well, thanks for taking the time
00:12:48.140 to settle into the show with us to bring us up to date.
00:12:51.220 Appreciate it, thanks.
00:12:52.240 So yes, that is Dave Winnegan.
00:12:53.500 You'll see his name at the top of a lot of stories,
00:12:55.560 along with a whole lot of other people contributing,
00:12:58.140 opinion pieces, news pieces, you name it.
00:13:00.900 This is where I shake the cup and ask for your money
00:13:03.440 and remind folks the reason we're independent media
00:13:05.060 and we cover these things is because you guys have subscribed.
00:13:08.420 So consider it if you haven't already, guys, it's $10 a month, $100 for a year.
00:13:13.400 Take advantage of volume discounts.
00:13:15.820 Quit being a freeloader.
00:13:16.960 Get on there.
00:13:18.620 Kick in gets you past that paywall and help support people like David and John, our producer,
00:13:24.060 and even me in here to do these weekly rants with you guys in here.
00:13:29.540 Let's see what else we got going on.
00:13:31.620 Commenters Jacqueline saying, why would Alberta want to build a pipeline through BC
00:13:35.460 when the so-called indigenous would just claim it as theirs.
00:13:40.000 Let's go south.
00:13:41.960 Yeah, well, you know, then there's challenges going south too.
00:13:45.220 But, you know, the indigenous thing, and I know it's not beyond belief.
00:13:47.660 I mean, when there's claims going on on anything and everything,
00:13:50.760 that's why no private investor will touch it with a 10-foot pole.
00:13:54.600 We actually, it's a constitutional ignorance.
00:13:58.920 If people would realize the federal government has the authority
00:14:03.580 to basically put their foot down and say, too damn bad. All right, guys, we consulted you.
00:14:07.680 We did what we could. We compensated how you will. We hired what we would, but now it's done.
00:14:12.160 It's over. The dirt's going to move. If you blockade the pipeline, we will arrest you.
00:14:17.180 But this government has no cojones. They would just rather just keep, like I said,
00:14:22.080 buying slush funds or forming slush funds, giving money to their friends, do what they can for a few
00:14:27.260 years, and then riding off into the sunset with your tax dollars. So it's going to take a major
00:14:32.900 change to get anything through. I got a feeling though, this is, you know, my bias and you hear
00:14:38.080 it from me a lot. If we had an independent Alberta, boy, we'd have a heck of a lot of leverage all of
00:14:42.380 a sudden to start talking with the folks in BC. Cause I tell you what, one thing that makes people
00:14:46.580 really receptive to pipelines is getting hungry. And if suddenly they're not having a good time
00:14:53.060 getting their goods and services across Alberta, you know, coming into BC or going out, they're
00:14:57.620 going to get hungry really fast. And then we can negotiate some things. And I suspect that thing
00:15:01.900 they'll go on the ground. Okay. Speaking of food, speaking of hungry, I'll use that as a cheesy
00:15:05.600 segue. We've got Farouk from Paul's Pizza coming in. It's been a while and boy, you've been pissing
00:15:12.560 everybody off again, Farouk. I appreciate it. How are you doing? I'm good. Yourself?
00:15:17.880 Good, good. I mean, still at it here. You know, carrying on. You know, looking, I was getting the
00:15:25.300 image for your appearance on the show and I see that the main thing that pops up was the last time
00:15:29.160 you were on here a few years ago. It's not often a pizza restaurant owner becomes so
00:15:34.560 newsworthy, but you certainly like to speak your mind, I guess.
00:15:41.820 Yeah, you know, freedom of speech and all that. At the end of the day, I use the, you know how I am,
00:15:48.820 I use my social media platform to express my opinions. And I just try to get others to get
00:15:54.600 on board i i want other business owners especially in alberta to start speaking up and not be afraid
00:16:00.080 of this cancel culture bullshit well that's it and they're really coming out of gin swarms
00:16:05.280 unfortunately maybe just for those who haven't heard about it necessarily i mean legacy media
00:16:08.900 certainly doesn't touch these things effectively or whatnot uh what did you do that got them all
00:16:14.160 worked up this time uh so you know me being you know kind of stupid at times i noticed that uh
00:16:21.800 Leah Gazan, I believe is her name.
00:16:24.080 I saw it.
00:16:24.600 I don't watch the news too much.
00:16:26.080 I get my news off Instagram.
00:16:27.460 And I kept seeing a post about MMIW2GSLGBTQI.
00:16:34.980 I don't know if I got it right, but I'm pretty close.
00:16:38.040 So, you know, I just made a stupid joke about it, not knowing what MMIW was at the time.
00:16:44.280 And I kind of just woke up the next day and it exploded.
00:16:47.700 and um since then i've just had people coming after me from all parts of the country and you
00:16:54.820 know i've had a lot more support which is nice as well yeah no you certainly have i think people
00:16:59.580 are really appreciating uh that you're not backing down i you know the the first instinct for a lot
00:17:07.060 of people if something happens whether it was inadvertently or just you know uh put something
00:17:11.480 out on social media quickly uh is to say oh man i'm sorry and delete it and back off and apologize
00:17:16.860 And of course, the reality is when the cancel mob gets going, even if you to back down and apologize, they're still going to come after you.
00:17:22.720 They just smell blood in the water.
00:17:26.160 So I appreciate that you're just saying, no, to hell with you guys.
00:17:29.760 I'm not, you know, backing off on this.
00:17:32.040 You're not, I mean, you're there to sell pizzas and beer.
00:17:35.060 You're not really, you know, your goal isn't to tick people off so much, but you're not going to, you know, cower every time somebody gets a little upset with you.
00:17:43.940 No, exactly.
00:17:44.780 So I've been doing this for about seven years now.
00:17:47.460 I've been banned off Facebook many times.
00:17:50.160 I think this is my fifth page now.
00:17:51.580 So I have plenty of experience with dealing with the cancel culture.
00:17:54.880 And like you said, they, when they smell like, you know, weakness, they pounce.
00:18:00.320 So, you know, I, I'm not one to back down, especially from those kinds of people.
00:18:05.060 And I'm always going to speak my mind.
00:18:07.080 And I just want others to know, you know, speak your mind as well.
00:18:10.520 If they come after you, block them.
00:18:12.560 If they're going to call you, block their number.
00:18:14.260 who cares say what you want it's your business well absolutely so i mean what have they been
00:18:19.440 doing you know just to lay it out i know they've been kind of bombing your reviews they've been
00:18:22.900 trying to get you knocked off social media they're calling you every name in the book apparently
00:18:26.500 you're a white nationalist i don't i don't i haven't written the rules on what night white
00:18:31.520 nationalism lands in but it just seems to me there's a part of it that you don't qualify
00:18:35.920 well for in that aspect i mean i am a light-skinned arab i'm not i'm not too dark uh so the white
00:18:42.700 nationalist Arab post, because, you know, they actually think I'm some Arab guy that wants to
00:18:47.140 be white, which is completely false. So over the years, I've just been getting, you know, tons of
00:18:51.460 messages. Hey, you're a KKK member, you're a white supremacist, this and that. And then one day,
00:18:56.760 someone messaged me, call me a white Arab nationalist, which I thought was pretty funny.
00:19:01.100 So I decided to take a picture of myself, look all goofy, and just post it on my social media,
00:19:05.740 and I kind of ran with it. Well, that's part of it. I find a part of what disarms
00:19:10.260 uh people on social media if they're coming in the attack mode is just lean right into it just
00:19:15.600 push right they don't expect that and they don't know what to do i've had people on x come after me
00:19:19.400 you know saying oh you're this or that usually you know with a a homophobic slur or anything and
00:19:24.080 then what i'll do is counter back and say well you know if you buy me some flowers i i might do some
00:19:28.260 of those things you're talking about with yeah i mean you got to start just easing into this and
00:19:32.140 it shuts them up everything they don't know what to do so just lean in yeah their brains kind of
00:19:38.460 explode when you fight back they don't know what to do I mean they're not the brightest people so
00:19:42.780 it's honestly not too hard to uh to roast these guys um at the end of the day usually what happens
00:19:48.480 is they message me after I roast them or they comment hey can you take that down you know I'm
00:19:54.020 so sorry I was wrong blah blah blah which I'm not gonna do because you know if I if I if I do that
00:19:59.360 I know they're just gonna go do it again to someone else or myself but yeah always always
00:20:03.500 fight back man there's there's nothing wrong with fighting back and you know I get it from the from
00:20:07.720 other business perspective and people's perspective because these guys they're they're like piranhas
00:20:12.320 man they'll go after your family they'll call like they're calling my charities and trying to get my
00:20:16.540 charities to not accept my money they're calling the landlord um they're they're sending threats
00:20:22.160 of arson you know you name it they're finding my my employees instagrams and messaging my employees
00:20:27.560 so uh just at the end of the day they can't do anything i've told them for seven years if you've
00:20:32.560 ever had an issue you know where i am you know where to find me and not one one soul has come
00:20:36.560 in and wanted to discuss things with me so they're just a bunch of uh i don't want to swear but you
00:20:41.080 know they're a bunch of pansies that hide behind a keyboard and uh there's nothing to fear man
00:20:45.220 all it is is words at the end of the day yeah and i don't know if you remember a guy named paul
00:20:50.620 stinson he ran the white moose cafe up in dublin ireland years ago it was a cafe and hotel beautiful
00:20:57.140 little spot it was the same time as i used to own the pub down in prittis area and such and i know
00:21:01.420 how easy the money is in the pizza and beer business. It's not exactly as thrilling as some
00:21:08.040 people might think, though we had a good run. But that Paul Stinson guy did a similar thing. Like he
00:21:12.140 was just unapologetic against the woke. He went after cyclists. He went after vegans. He did
00:21:17.160 things like that. And it drove them haywire and they would protest. But in the end, it led to his
00:21:22.200 place being packed. He had a Facebook page with 150,000 followers, I think, on it. And the irony
00:21:30.700 again is they would go after him, call him every name in the book. And a homophobe was one of their
00:21:35.800 favorites with them. He was as gay as gay could be, you know, but they just don't even look that
00:21:40.700 deep. They just immediately throw all the labels out the second they get upset and they don't even
00:21:45.420 know what the hell they're talking about. Yeah. I think, uh, I think last time I have a pretty
00:21:50.340 good memory. Last time we spoke, I think you brought that up and yeah, you know, uh, I think
00:21:55.340 that's a smart tactic because you know, when you're, when you're pissing people off, they're
00:21:59.400 going to start talking about you when they talk about you that's publicity and it's free publicity
00:22:03.300 which is even better so all it does is it attracts people into your business that didn't know about
00:22:08.180 you before uh the the people who are like-minded are going to come and support you more as well
00:22:13.220 and then at the same time it deters all these uh i call them weirdos and uh brokies you know
00:22:18.820 deters all these far left extremists who sit at home and have no money to uh to spend anyway so
00:22:24.440 at the end of the day, all it is doing is, you know, growing my brand and driving up business.
00:22:29.580 Well, that's it. And you're showing most of the people, if they look at it, it's just humor. And
00:22:33.140 if it's not humor to somebody's taste, we'll just go somewhere else. It's a little different when
00:22:37.620 it's a business, I guess, but you know, that whole MMW, Ambersand, all that other stuff that
00:22:43.320 that was mocked all over the world. Late night talk show hosts were mocking that. They were going
00:22:49.000 crazy, uh, laughing their heads off at that thing because it was ridiculous. Uh, but of course the
00:22:55.300 woke nut cases can't target them, but they found a local target with you. If you were truly being
00:23:00.920 hateful, if you were really being a jerk saying, you know what, I'm going to refuse to serve gay
00:23:04.340 people, or I'm going to assault, uh, black people coming in or something insane like that. Well,
00:23:09.240 I'd be up there saying, geez, I'm not shopping at the guy's place either. He's, he's crazy,
00:23:13.060 but you've not been hateful. You've just been having a good lark with some of this stuff.
00:23:18.540 Yeah, at the end of the day, man, you know, running a business is a lot of work.
00:23:21.680 And social media, just like the gym, is kind of my escape.
00:23:24.980 So I like to entertain people.
00:23:27.240 It's all about comedy at the end of the day, putting a smile on people's faces.
00:23:30.440 And like you said, like, I've never denied service to anybody, to be honest.
00:23:34.720 Someone comes in with a gay shirt or someone comes in with a, you know, a turban.
00:23:40.980 I don't give a shit.
00:23:41.680 You know, they're paying customers.
00:23:43.060 We treat them all equally.
00:23:43.880 uh i mean i do kick some people out here and there but that's just because they get drunk
00:23:48.680 and obnoxious and try to start fights it doesn't matter if they're black or white or or red you
00:23:53.700 know we we treat them all equally so at the end of the day we don't we have never discriminated
00:23:57.300 against anybody and uh half my staff are colored i have i have gay people that work for me but the
00:24:03.680 difference is they don't go around and flaunt it they don't make it you know you know their whole
00:24:07.820 life they don't push it down our throats they don't push it down children's throats and that's
00:24:11.780 that's kind of the difference. That's kind of, you know, where I have an issue is when people
00:24:16.840 go over that line. Yeah. Well, and, and something, at least as things are kind of ongoing, this is
00:24:22.940 what it's been a couple of weeks sort of since it recently hit the fan with you again, all over
00:24:26.900 again. Uh, you're, you're still sort of, you're poking the hornet's nest at least, uh, not
00:24:32.240 apologizing, getting on there, making some funny posts on X or on Instagram and, and, and things
00:24:37.260 like that uh how have sales been as if you've seen an impact up or down out of this or is it
00:24:42.720 just kind of the same as it's been um i'd say like our so our airdrie location uh the ceiling's not
00:24:48.960 as high because we're so busy but uh the calgary locations have have gone up a lot more than the
00:24:53.800 airdrie location and the airdrie location has also the numbers have also gone up um i've sold
00:24:59.440 a lot of merchandise i'm working on an online shop i've had a every day i've had a shit ton
00:25:04.580 of customers come in from Red Deer, Lethbridge, Saskatchewan, just to meet me and shake my hand.
00:25:10.360 I've had guys bring in their kids to shake my hand and say, you know, this is a good guy.
00:25:15.200 You know, I want you to kind of, it's kind of weird, but I want you to grow up and kind of be
00:25:19.260 like this guy when you grow up, you know, have the same kind of mindset. So yeah, it's all pretty
00:25:23.020 much been positive for the most part. I mean, there are some negatives, like we're getting
00:25:26.580 prank calls, you know, customers harassing the staff. It's kind of died down, happens here and
00:25:32.980 there at first it was every every minute someone was calling and swearing at us or giving us you
00:25:39.700 know a fake order that you know we would catch but yeah it's uh it's been good the positives
00:25:44.420 have definitely outweighed the negatives well that's good uh what about i know airdrie seemed
00:25:48.560 to kind of been the main flashpoint though you guys have a number of of locations as you pointed
00:25:52.440 out uh there have been efforts by others to try and see if they can't get your license pulled or
00:25:57.540 things like that i think some local airdrie politicians basically kind of said look we
00:26:01.240 we can't do anything about this he's not done anything illegal uh is that efforts to try and
00:26:07.600 shut you down that way still continuing uh i know they're they they made a a petition on change.org
00:26:14.520 i you know i never heard about until they did it i think they have a little over 3 000 signatures
00:26:19.600 last time i checked and basically it's to get the the mayor and the city council to overlook our
00:26:26.040 business license to see if they could remove it. But I know the mayor came out and made a,
00:26:31.480 the new mayor came out and made a statement saying that, you know, she can't really do anything.
00:26:35.120 We haven't broken any bylaws. If you have an issue, call RCMP, contact BBB or Human Rights.
00:26:41.380 I spoke to RCMP, the guy just laughed, said, yeah, I follow you. You haven't done anything
00:26:45.360 wrong. Don't worry about it. BBB is basically just Yelp. So they really have no impact on any
00:26:52.260 any kind of business they're just you know a bullshit entity and i i haven't heard from human
00:26:56.180 rights yet so uh at the end of the day there's nothing they could do it's free speech it's the
00:27:00.540 internet we're not uh we're not china north korea or uk yet right but yeah everything everything's
00:27:07.020 been good so far good and i i know another thing i mean they did that with me i i had google reviews
00:27:11.960 that claim that people saw mice running around in my uh dining area and that they'd gotten
00:27:17.320 sandwiches that were moldy uh stuff like that used to happen with my restaurant when i would
00:27:21.760 tick people off online. Uh, it really, I mean, you don't want to see that in your reviews because
00:27:26.920 people might not know the backstory as to why some idiot is putting that, that garbage on your
00:27:31.240 reviews. But still, I mean, it, the impact of that's, I guess, more limited anyways. I mean,
00:27:36.140 the most of the time I use a Google review is if I'm traveling somewhere and looking for somewhere
00:27:39.600 new, but you're, you're mostly have already got kind of your, your steady regular local crowds,
00:27:43.600 I guess. Yeah, I would say, uh, for us, I mean, we have so many Google reviews cause we've been
00:27:49.180 around forever it doesn't really matter it doesn't affect us uh what they don't understand called
00:27:54.140 cancel culture is when you mass review someone good or bad google uh picks it up and they just
00:28:00.060 delete it all so if you go and search my google reviews the latest review you'll see is from three
00:28:05.660 weeks ago because they just deleted it all so it really has no effect on us and like over time you
00:28:10.460 kind of get used to it and you just go ah whatever it's google you know who's not many people are
00:28:15.180 actually going to go and you know scroll through google reviews yeah well and part of what's kept
00:28:20.940 you going as you said you you've been there plus the prior owners this is a well-established
00:28:24.620 business it's been there a long time i have eaten i live down south i go to the shaughnessy one
00:28:29.180 occasionally and uh i i said it before the show i'm happy that it really is good food and great
00:28:34.700 pizza you want thick cheesy you know artery hardening pizza that's the place to get again
00:28:39.500 an unapologetic good meal because i mean if your food was crappy i'd still have you on and talk
00:28:43.580 about it but i would dodge that in the end just to to to not cover it but it really is uh some
00:28:48.300 good stuff so before i let you go you know maybe i'll let you get a bit of a plug-in where can
00:28:51.980 folks get in and get a good meal and uh just show that they're not gonna let others push around a
00:28:56.940 guy who's outspoken with his business yeah so uh we we don't have just pizza just for anybody
00:29:02.620 watching we have a huge many we do steaks uh fish and chips wings you name it uh so it's not just
00:29:08.300 pizza so if you don't like our style you can get something else uh we have two two locations at
00:29:12.540 calgary one inch honestly like you mentioned one off 32nd uh and 28th street in the northeast and
00:29:17.500 then the original here in airdrie which we moved about a year and a half ago to the other side of
00:29:22.060 the highway uh we're in a big brand new building we put about a million bucks into it and our sales
00:29:27.500 are up 40 since we moved um if you want to follow me you can follow me on facebook at the paul's
00:29:34.380 pizza airdrie uh instagram is just paul's pizza x i believe is just paul's pizza other than that
00:29:39.980 you know i appreciate the support and uh never back down right on well that's great advice and
00:29:45.980 i appreciate what you've been doing serving good food and uh serving outrage to the woke it's it's
00:29:51.100 a service that uh we all really do appreciate people have had enough of it so thanks for taking
00:29:55.900 some time to talk to us uh maybe i'll have you on in a couple years when you piss them all off over
00:29:59.980 something new all right thank you corey you have a good one take it easy have a good amen so yes
00:30:05.820 guys, that's Farouk with Paul's Pizza. And yes, he's mentioned all those spots where you can see
00:30:11.280 him online. And more importantly, you know, hey, give a thumbs up online, support people when
00:30:16.120 they're speaking out, just taking advantage of free speech, but get out there, try their product.
00:30:20.020 Look, you can come on and roast me in the comments. If I was steering you wrong, if you think it was
00:30:23.640 a bad meal, it really is good eats there. So let's go to those places that just, they're just small
00:30:28.740 business people. And that's part of social media now. Anyways, that's what you got to do. As I
00:30:34.280 said, I was in the bar and restaurant industry for some years with the pub I owned. You've got to
00:30:37.960 build a presence, an identity. That's what really builds a solid business, you know, an atmosphere
00:30:43.020 there and a customer base. And social media has become a tool of that. I got to admit, I wasn't
00:30:48.720 as courageous as Farouk with, you know, kind of getting into it, using the business pages to get
00:30:54.300 into politics. But because I was in politics outside of the restaurant, I would still get
00:30:58.280 blasted. But with our page, you'd be a bit cheeky on it. You'd be a bit fun. You want people to
00:31:03.420 follow your social media just to see what's happening and to see it being lively and interesting.
00:31:08.480 And it draws them out, makes it get into their mind when they're deciding where they may or may
00:31:14.240 not eat at some point. But we just can't let these mobs win, you know, these cowardly seller dwelling
00:31:20.140 wimps. And that's what they are. They're blue haired losers. They're people who haven't worked
00:31:24.580 for a living. They don't understand the pressures and pains of running a small business. They don't
00:31:29.900 respect that ability. You know, if there was a business owner, as I said, if Farouk was really
00:31:34.940 actually being nasty and awful and bad to people, well, then I just wouldn't go. It's as simple as
00:31:39.640 that. I'm not going to bother protesting and review bombing and all that stuff and say, I'm
00:31:44.120 going to take my dollars and I'll shop somewhere else. But the woke can't stop there. They want it
00:31:50.800 shut down. They want it canceled. They want him driven out of business. They want the employees
00:31:56.960 he has driven out of business. And we can't let these traveling mobs do that. It's a sick,
00:32:05.040 weird, human nature thing. And there's much to it. I mean, it really does go back to that
00:32:11.360 psychology of the witch hunts from hundreds of years ago in Massachusetts. When the local crowd
00:32:17.080 gets all worked up, it's a pack mentality. They swarm and they like doing it to businesses. They
00:32:22.740 get a sick sense of satisfaction in pulling something else down. Don't like it. Leave it
00:32:27.360 alone. Let's see what else we got here. Bernie Moore saying a sickle liberal government is
00:32:34.300 bringing back the Online Harms Act, pure BS liberal overreach. Yeah, there's something to
00:32:38.380 be afraid of. The cancel culture and mobs and crowds coming after your ability to speak
00:32:42.800 are one thing. Having the government come after you, that's even scarier. That's when we got some
00:32:49.740 of these very low bar set for what you might be charged with a hate crime for this government is
00:32:55.200 getting more and more uh authoritarian and it's it's getting um really problematic we gotta watch
00:33:01.500 out for those this is one that the the government's pushed through now i guess the liberals these are
00:33:05.980 the weirdest things not a high priority you'd think but they're pushing a bill to allow the
00:33:09.460 search and seizure of your mail through canada post without a warrant that's packed into an
00:33:14.480 omnibus bill that's going through right now, I guess. Why? What, what high issue is there where
00:33:20.700 they feel they should have the right to go in and rip into your mail and look at it? Now, thankfully
00:33:24.360 your physical mail, I mean, most people don't use it for much of bloody anything anyways anymore.
00:33:30.440 It's mostly just junk mail coming in and a few bills that you might not have switched to
00:33:33.540 electronic billing yet, but why do they want to dig into that? You know, this is, I mean,
00:33:39.580 I understand if there's a warrant and if there's a need and they've already got that ability. If
00:33:43.360 it. If you've got criminal activity going on, they're strong enough and suspecting it's going
00:33:47.720 on, they can get a warrant and they can start monitoring those things. Why do they need a bill
00:33:51.400 to get in that easily to your personal mail? And you know, they're not going to stop there because
00:33:58.640 that's the problem. So if they're not getting the information control and power over you through
00:34:04.340 your mail that they want, because it's obsolete, how long before they're going into your email,
00:34:11.320 your personal communications. We saw that over the course of the COVID thing when they were getting
00:34:16.440 into people's cellular accounts and things and such as that. This is really, really terrifying.
00:34:23.820 It really is because we are a digital world and we have a lot of personal things online
00:34:31.360 and we can really be messed with pretty quickly by a government that is adversely attacking it.
00:34:36.920 But Canada is in a really, really bad way.
00:34:39.740 And none of these liberals have this majority.
00:34:41.680 I mean, look how bad they were when they had a minority,
00:34:44.220 when they had a little bit of control over them.
00:34:46.580 Now they have a full majority.
00:34:49.240 They're taking over the committees.
00:34:52.000 People who don't watch politics too, too closely got to understand
00:34:54.640 a lot of the power actually hides in the committees.
00:34:57.440 That's where the stuff goes on that you don't see.
00:34:59.880 And that's where they're held in check quite a bit.
00:35:01.980 We always watch Question Period and everything,
00:35:04.040 but it's the committees where the real meat and potatoes are.
00:35:06.920 and when you have a balanced committee with opposition members on it they're sort of forced
00:35:10.620 to at least respect a bit of democracy in different views and try to make a case but
00:35:15.580 once they stack those committees with nothing but liberal members they're just gonna like crap
00:35:19.660 through a goose that legislation stuff they're going to want to do is going to go through there
00:35:23.220 without hesitation and we should be scared guys really scared uh speaking of authoritarians you
00:35:30.280 know you've probably seen that story it's in the western standard francis widdowson so uh you
00:35:35.180 you probably saw that video go out. She went to Lethbridge University. She knew kind of that
00:35:39.640 they were going to come after her. All she did was go in and sit down and have a coffee in this
00:35:45.000 case. And the police came in and literally arrested her, took her away in handcuffs
00:35:49.280 for the crime of sitting and having a coffee. But why? Speaking of courageous people like
00:35:54.760 Farouk or others, she won't back down. She doubles down. She dared to break the orthodoxy. She dared
00:36:01.640 to question the indigenous state of affairs. She dared to point out the reality that in Kamloops,
00:36:08.240 not a single body has been found because there aren't any bodies, because it was a hoax.
00:36:12.320 And it's a hoax that now we can call a fraud because the band got $12 million to exhume and
00:36:17.540 investigate this thing and didn't do anything with it. Frances Whittowson keeps calling it out. She's
00:36:23.900 a professor who won't back down. So now they've literally arrested her. When she goes to other
00:36:29.140 places. Protests are organized. They get aggressive and dangerous around her. If you've
00:36:35.440 ever met Frances, she's just a small slip of a woman. It's not hard to physically intimidate
00:36:41.000 somebody like that. And that's what they do. She's got bigger cojones than our prime minister does
00:36:48.360 because she just will not stop on this. And I'm so glad she's continuing with that. So she's been
00:36:53.920 charged $600 for trespassing. It's a point of principle. It's only 600 bucks, but it's their
00:37:01.280 way of shutting down the message. I've heard me talk about that on here a couple of times.
00:37:06.200 I've been charged with trespassing by the Siksika Reserve for publishing a couple of videos
00:37:11.580 of the conditions on that reserve, the reserve that got $1.3 billion out of Trudeau a few years
00:37:17.260 ago. And the housing is falling apart. The dogs are running around. The garbage is all over the
00:37:21.100 place. They want to shoot the messenger. So they lay these charges. They come after you. They use
00:37:26.960 the legal system to shut down the messaging. It's another form of canceling. And Widowson's getting
00:37:32.000 it. I'm getting it. Guys, we got to keep pushing back. We've got to keep fighting. The easy route
00:37:39.960 is just to duck your head down, apologize, and leave. And that's not even the easy route. When
00:37:43.200 a cancel mob comes after you push back that is the way to do it when they see you retreat they
00:37:51.480 just keep coming as i said on x where i fight all the time and so on when they throw insults at me
00:37:56.500 i just dive right back into it you know and they don't know what to do uh
00:38:02.140 ford's progressive conservatives this is something so uh this is the headline from
00:38:07.680 the standard ford's pc slipped a second as the liberals take a lead amidst the
00:38:11.140 gravy train backlash. So those who might not remember, there was a $29 million jet that Doug
00:38:17.620 Ford bought, you know, with tax dollars for himself to get around quite a luxurious little unit
00:38:23.000 in Ontario. And when people all got pretty pissed off about it, he got quite petulant and stirred up
00:38:30.340 but before he managed to get even a ride on it, he sold it again. But it really does show a
00:38:36.040 government that's starting to reach its end cycle. And they're really losing track of what ticks
00:38:42.060 people off and what doesn't. And, you know, Dave, our news editor, we talked about that in the
00:38:46.620 pipeline last week. He says, you know, it's not unreasonable for a premier in a province as large
00:38:53.040 as Ontario to have a plane to get around. And that's true, but it's the way they did it. And
00:39:00.220 is the level of the plane that they got. Now, he doesn't need to be flying in an old World War I
00:39:06.460 biplane, you know, and put a scarf on and try and hope for the best. But you don't need a luxurious
00:39:11.720 jet either. You are just in a province. You can get a pretty good plane that's going to fly a
00:39:17.000 handful of people around. Plus, you should just approach, make your case first before buying it.
00:39:24.500 What he did was just bought it. It was on the books, never made a peep about it. And so, by the
00:39:28.480 way a taxpayer is on a plane that's going to fly me around, a jet. He didn't need something that
00:39:33.440 excessive. In Alberta, Alison Redford, we had government planes here in Alberta. They weren't
00:39:40.560 jets, but they were well-equipped planes to fly cabinet ministers and people around and everything.
00:39:45.320 She was using it to fly to Palm Springs. She was taking family members on it and friends.
00:39:49.560 She was totally abusing it. Now the planes are gone altogether, including Alison Redford is
00:39:54.600 on altogether. But when they start feeling that superior, when they start getting that arrogant
00:40:00.800 with your money, that's the beginning of the end. Redford was just brutal. She built what was called
00:40:08.620 the Sky Palace, if you guys remember. It was a part on an administration building, kind of a
00:40:13.040 penthouse unit up top, which had been used for a number of things. But she was having it converted
00:40:17.960 with tax dollars to basically be a little luxury apartment of her own, a little palace of her own
00:40:23.020 downtown in Edmonton to keep her well appointed as the queen of Alberta. They just infuriated
00:40:30.060 people and it got her knocked out. So in Ontario is Doug Ford finally, finally, because it's been
00:40:36.720 amazing how bad he's been as a premier yet. Still, they seem to like him. Is he slipping? The
00:40:41.700 liberals have slipped past him a little bit, but it's hard to say. One of the things, if you look
00:40:46.560 at electoral trends in Canada, Ontario likes to vote the opposite way of whoever's in power
00:40:52.460 federally. Most of the time, whenever there's a, a liberal government in Ottawa, they tend to put
00:40:57.440 a conservative government in Ontario and in Toronto and Queens Park. Uh, I think that's a
00:41:04.160 little bit of why Ford's hanging in there, you know, when, and then when there's a conservative
00:41:07.800 government in, they tend to go NDP or liberal. And this time it might be changing, uh, the, uh,
00:41:17.540 the dynamic. They've had enough of Ford and there's no sign as well that there's going to
00:41:21.440 be a conservative government in Ottawa for a long, long time. Well, never probably. If you want one,
00:41:26.700 you got to get out of the country. That's the bottom line. Let's see where else we're at,
00:41:32.860 you know, with people seeing true stuff. Charles Adler, you might remember as a radio host, a name
00:41:37.840 who wasn't that bad, but I don't know, he slipped in the shower, bumped his head five, six years ago
00:41:42.340 and went bananas and suddenly woke up as a liberal, a hardcore liberal. And actually,
00:41:48.100 I think most people understand why he went that way because lo and behold, eventually bang,
00:41:53.200 here's Charles Adler appointed to the Senate. Yeah. So media members realizing that, because
00:42:00.180 yes, media doesn't offer a nice big pension or a heck of a lot of money, uh, independent or even
00:42:05.120 legacy really, unless you're in the CBC, he smelled the gravy train. He wanted to retire in comfort.
00:42:11.060 He wanted a low-stress, high-pay job, so he switched himself into being a liberal shill,
00:42:18.480 and his effort paid off. After a few years, he was put into the Senate where he resides,
00:42:23.000 but still pokes around on social media. And he was taking shots on X, basically saying the liberals
00:42:32.060 belong in government forever, they're the best government around, blah, blah, blah. But he seems
00:42:36.800 to forget that the pretense of Justin Trudeau claiming that senators are going to be independent
00:42:42.720 now. They're no longer liberal senators. They're just appointed by the liberal government, but
00:42:46.380 they're not liberals anymore. They're independent senators. Chucky, you're supposed to be liberal.
00:42:52.380 You're independent, I should say. You've let your veneer fall off. Perhaps dial it down. Go have a
00:42:59.200 donut or something. Stay off social media. Actually, no, carry on. Keep it up. Keep showing people how
00:43:04.040 sick and broken the system is. I mean, it's supposed to be another level of government
00:43:07.840 that adds accountability. It's supposed to be a powerful level of government in the Senate,
00:43:10.900 for the most part, is a joke. It does a bit of committee work that's okay now and then,
00:43:14.400 but for the most part, it's a joke. You look in the United States, senators are among the
00:43:19.100 most powerful people in the country because there's only 50 of them or whatnot versus a
00:43:25.140 whole load of people in Congress. In Canada, senators are just a joke. They're appointed,
00:43:30.700 they're there for life they don't do anything of significance once in a while they'll raise their
00:43:34.300 backs over something over to parliament that is is just too uh beyond the pale but either ways
00:43:40.100 charles just shut up you're not doing any favors for things uh alex zolton's been covering things
00:43:47.740 in bc very well speaking of governments going down because uh eby is just floundering he's just in
00:43:53.440 trouble and uh zolton's been covering the the leadership race of the conservatives which
00:43:59.420 they've really been at each other's throats for a bit. Unfortunately, the race did begin with a
00:44:03.820 land acknowledgement. Guys, that cultish crap. Cut it out. That's what ripped the conservatives
00:44:09.260 apart in BC in the first place. We need politicians with the knackers to say, that's it. No more of
00:44:14.000 this indigenous pandering and crap, because that's what's swinging the whole needle in BC right now.
00:44:19.460 That's where previously even NDP supporters down in the lower mainland are saying, my lord, I might
00:44:26.060 lose my home. I might lose my property. I don't know what's going on. They gave title to a whole
00:44:30.000 areas to bans and they won't tell us exactly what it's about, but people can't get their mortgages
00:44:34.560 renewed. I want out. And this RIPA thing, this indigenous right thing based on the UN
00:44:40.960 is threatening the wellbeing of the entire province and people are realizing it. And EB
00:44:46.780 doesn't have the courage to get rid of it and get out of it. The conservatives can own this in BC.
00:44:51.880 they can really win this knocky be out of power but what people in bc want to see is somebody
00:44:58.140 telling the indigenous lobby enough enough get stuffed we consulted we're done with you this
00:45:05.580 endless circle of supposed reconciliation over things that happened a hundred and some years ago
00:45:11.260 that's now bankrupting the province they've had enough and the majority of bc still votes
00:45:17.920 in elections, and they're non-Indigenous,
00:45:20.360 but if the Conservatives are going to be so stupid
00:45:22.340 as to do land
00:45:24.240 acknowledgements,
00:45:26.780 well, I guess maybe the NDP
00:45:28.420 deserves another term. Think harder,
00:45:30.300 you pinheads. Alright, I'll
00:45:32.240 leave it at that, guys. Tune in to the pipeline
