Western Standard - Indigenous reserves must embrace personal responsibility

00:00:00.000 Música

00:00:10.480 good day welcome to the cory morgan show on this mid-november we're getting to still no snow on the

00:00:36.320 ground in Calgary not much in Saskatchewan I'm thrilled with it I know some people oh boy we

00:00:40.680 got to worry about the drought and everything else yeah I know we need it eventually but we

00:00:43.520 could put it off I was thinking it should really dump in late January maybe give a foot or two to

00:00:48.840 really soak the ground and then clear up in later February for when I'm driving back but we take

00:00:54.460 what we get with the weather global warming as far as I'm concerned bring it on I'll start my

00:00:57.980 little Morgan banana plantation out in the Prittis area and just adapt we can't change it so let's

00:01:03.480 adapt. By the way, we've got lots coming up. We've got William Barclay. He's our new man on the

00:01:07.500 ground in Ottawa, and I'm really looking forward to that conversation. He's already been putting

00:01:10.820 great stuff out in the Western Standard. We've had a bit of a void over there for a little while.

00:01:14.940 Now we have somebody there to cover that because we're a Western paper, but unfortunately,

00:01:19.420 Ottawa impacts us, and we've got to watch it and cover it as well. News check-ins, rants,

00:01:24.960 and all that good stuff. So I want to talk about a subject that's been big on the news. Credit

00:01:29.280 given to Global for actually breaking this. It seems that Global they break a few good things,

00:01:33.460 but then they just kind of go downhill with other stuff. But yeah, it's that Cowichan garbage dump

00:01:38.460 thing. And it makes me want to talk more on the broader issue. As long as native bands are given

00:01:43.340 unfettered authority on their land, but with no responsibility, those reserves are going to remain

00:01:48.600 dysfunctional, poverty-ridden, racial enclaves of misery. The massive unregulated garbage dump on

00:01:55.240 the Cowichan Tribe Reserve next to a river is just the most recent example of this. So there's

00:02:00.500 a Cowichan member and he accumulated nearly 300,000 cubic meters of garbage on an illegal

00:02:06.060 dumping spot. The mess is now leeching into the river, putting salmon stock and drinking water at

00:02:10.220 risk. Let's not pretend the band was unaware this was happening over a period of years.

00:02:15.260 Let's also not pretend that people from off reserve were sneaking onto that spot, dumping

00:02:19.220 in the night. Those are sort of claims made by some people who refuse to attribute responsibility

00:02:24.380 to the native bands and those people who make those excuses are the problem. Band members and

00:02:29.520 people off the reserve were both complicit. Nobody dared to intervene though because you don't dare

00:02:33.860 question the authority of the band to deal with things itself. And I can lay out how this is going

00:02:37.880 to unfold because we've seen this before. Despite demands from the provincial government, the band

00:02:42.020 won't clean up the site. With the environmental damage being so extensive and immediate, the

00:02:46.880 government's going to be forced to step in and clean it up for them. They'll then offer the bill

00:02:50.640 to the band, which we'll of course ignore, try and collect from a First Nations reserve. I wish

00:02:54.560 you the best. In fact, some are going to justify this saying it's the fault of non-natives because

00:02:59.120 they didn't stop it. Yeah, so we get in trouble when we intervene and we get in trouble when we

00:03:03.000 don't. A similar incident unfolded in the 90s in Alberta on the Enoch Reserve. They've been using

00:03:08.080 dugouts for dump sites and the Alberta government had to clean it up. The Cowichan tribe is now

00:03:13.520 calling on the federal government to clean their mess up and yeah, so we'll end up paying for it.

00:03:18.160 Northern Alberta, another example near the community of Conklin. A dump was so poorly maintained

00:03:22.720 that a large bear population had moved in and dozens were shot over the years in the early

00:03:26.800 2000s. Activists blamed the provincial government rather than the nearby First Nation, which should

00:03:31.480 have been responsible for that dump. Look, one of the most basic services provided by local

00:03:35.580 governments, garbage collection and disposal. Every small town manages to do it, or people like me who

00:03:40.360 live on acreages, we take our own trash to the proper municipal dump. Many reserves, however,

00:03:45.700 garbage is rarely dealt with properly, whether at the household or government level, and it's

00:03:50.520 commonly strewn all over the place. That was part of what upset me with the Siksika band, or upset

00:03:55.260 the band, I should say, when I shot a video from a public highway on their reserve. The garbage was

00:03:59.520 appalling, and I exposed it. The band could find people who failed to dispose of trash properly,

00:04:05.860 just as municipalities do, but that would involve taking responsibility and expecting it of their

00:04:10.160 members. Let's get on to animal control. That's also a municipal responsibility. On reserves

00:04:14.280 across Canada, feral dogs are often out of control. In fact, several children have been

00:04:18.540 mauled to death by them on reserves. When feral dogs were coming into Calgary from the neighboring

00:04:22.520 Satina Reserve a few years back, Calgary's bylaw chief actually implied the feral dog issue was

00:04:27.180 due to city people dumping them on the reserve. It was utterly absurd. Feral dogs are a problem

00:04:31.840 on almost every reserve in Canada due to people living on them who refuse to spay and neuter

00:04:36.140 their animals and letting them run loose. It's bad enough the bans refuse to enforce basic animal

00:04:41.760 control. But for city officials and off-reserve communities to try and claim it isn't the

00:04:45.920 responsibility, the reserve is beyond the pale. But it fits in with that usual approach of refusing

00:04:50.440 to apply responsibility to reserves and the citizens on them, which perpetuates the problem.

00:04:56.040 Animal rescue societies are swamped with reserve dogs, and from northern ones, don't think that

00:05:00.540 city people are driving 12 hours to go dump their dogs somewhere. Charities are offering free spaying

00:05:05.140 and neutering, but they can't keep up, and they won't until the reserves start taking responsibility.

00:05:09.440 And let's talk drinking water. That's also a municipal responsibility. Thousands of municipalities across Canada manage to get clean water to their citizens every day.

00:05:17.980 Meanwhile, we hear news of dozens of reserves under boil water advisories. The reserves are well funded to provide water to their citizens, but they mismanage the funds and don't properly maintain the system. So whose fault is it?

00:05:28.260 Over 32 billion tax dollars go to the reserves every year. The failure to provide basic services isn't due to a lack of funding.

00:05:36.260 Perhaps if reserves tax citizens to provide services as municipalities do, they'd feel more incentive to actually provide those services.

00:05:42.260 Activists and Indigenous leaders like to pretend that the reserves are little sovereign states within Canada, but they're anything but.

00:05:48.260 They're dependencies that won't even take care of the most basic of local needs.

00:05:52.260 The reserve system itself will likely never succeed. It's based on racial apartheid and

00:05:58.320 segregation. If there's ever going to be hope that reserves are to become socioeconomically

00:06:02.360 functional, though, it has to begin by embracing a sense of personal responsibility for their

00:06:06.880 affairs. If there's authority without responsibility, they're going to fail. And I will

00:06:11.580 finish because I know I'm going to get the feedback by saying, yes, some reserves don't

00:06:14.600 have all these problems. They are the exception, though, rather than the rule. And things on most

00:06:19.680 reserves are only going to get worse. All right, that's how to kick things off today. Let's check

00:06:24.300 in with other news with Dave Kneeler, our news editor. How's it going? A banana plantation?

00:06:28.460 Oh, bananas. Maybe pineapple? Hmm. I'm not sure. No? No, we're not going to get that kind of

00:06:36.660 weather change in our lifetime. Wow. Well, I like to be an optimist. Mangoes? Mangoes? Yeah,

00:06:41.280 that would be different. Kiwi? Yeah, of course, I could barely grow weeds in my place. I'm

00:06:44.920 terrible at gardening, but I'll try. Maybe you should just stick with bees. Well, the bees are

00:06:48.320 doing well, yes. There you go. At least you can make honey, right? Yes. So really busy news day

00:06:52.460 today, Corey, already. The city of Calgary has announced they're doing something that's not

00:06:57.120 going to cause any controversy whatsoever. They're going to raise the Palestinian flag

00:07:01.880 on November 30th. Yeah, that should be a nice calm afternoon. Yeah, calm afternoon. Get the

00:07:09.520 riot police and the horses on standby. I don't know about you, Corey. I think city hall,

00:07:15.500 you can you can fly the city flag the Canadian flag and the provincial flag but that's got to be

00:07:21.020 it right it's funny and I was going to get onto that because there is a motion I think coming to

00:07:25.260 the UCP convention floor that people said was an outlier but where the municipalities would

00:07:29.980 be directed you know what just keep your flags at that I think that would be a nice one just

00:07:34.140 it's not impressing you know just everybody you can't pick and choose there nobody else has one

00:07:38.300 there's no point making controversies when you don't have to no we have plenty enough

00:07:42.300 Speaking of controversies, the details have been leaked about Prime Minister Carney's next big

00:07:48.220 five projects announcement, which he's doing tomorrow in Prince Rupert.

00:07:51.900 None of them are pipelines though, Corey. There is rumblings that there may be a memorandum of

00:07:59.660 understanding between the province and the feds on building a pipeline, but we're working to get

00:08:06.380 some details from the Premier's office, but I would think if there's no pipeline, she's not going to

00:08:10.780 be happy a memorandum of understanding is a not worth another promise a piece of toilet paper

00:08:16.540 not worth the paper that it's uh that it's written on uh we've got a liberal mp slamming his own

00:08:24.380 party's budget uh nathan erskine smith uh says it doesn't do what it should be doing so you know

00:08:30.780 the liberals are all talking about this uh dysfunctioning conservative party and they've

00:08:34.780 got people on their own that don't like what they're doing. New bombshell scandal today on

00:08:43.420 Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump. Emails released that said Donald quote knew all about the girls.

00:08:50.540 So we'll see. This is sort of a scandal that just doesn't seem to want to go away with him.

00:08:55.420 Well, Trump invited it, right? I mean, you know, I don't get it. He went and used the Epstein thing

00:09:01.420 when he was not in power, of course, and kept twisting and pushing. And then suddenly once he's

00:09:04.820 in there, ah, don't worry, guys, look somewhere else. Well, sorry, Donald, you got to wear this

00:09:09.780 too. It's an ugly scene to watch. A distraction from the serious politics. Exactly. You obviously

00:09:16.360 heard the big plan by the Canadian Armed Forces to enlist 300,000 bureaucrats. Oh, yes. It's sort

00:09:22.400 of a dad's army type thing. Columnist John Thompson has written about that when he wasn't

00:09:28.400 rolling over the floor and laughing. I mean, how can you go from a CAR call taker in the morning

00:09:36.000 to a warrior in the afternoon? We can't even get them to leave their houses for more than two days

00:09:40.360 a week to come into the office. No, I know. Stick them on a battlefield. I mean, I, and you know,

00:09:45.680 the army has changed. I mean, the positions aren't there. I'm sure there was probably a lot

00:09:50.340 of applications for tail gunners, but modern equipment doesn't call for that role any longer.

00:09:54.440 Yeah. And I'm not sure who would be applying for a tail gunner job.

00:09:58.400 Kenneth Green from the Fraser Institute has a column on David Eby who comes across as

00:10:08.180 an environmentalist but Mr. Green says he's very far from that and former Liberal MP Dan

00:10:14.600 McTeague who's now doing good work on gas prices he's got a column out on the Liberals green

00:10:20.780 spending on EVs and all that sort of good stuff is leading Canada down a road to ruin so so busy

00:10:27.560 day uh where our david winnick is just back from a pier polia press conference so we've got him

00:10:32.920 him responding to the uh uh pipeline announcement so we'll have that up shortly right on well

00:10:41.160 thanks yeah lots on the go can we show the head of our new reporter oh no he was on a different

00:10:46.200 show i did earlier i did warn him you know if you if you got a booger or something he's taken

00:10:50.120 care of you're in the spotlight now so uh but if he wants to outdo dave you know in the noodles

00:10:54.440 well that's uh it should be william vassar who's going to be our new uh legislature

00:10:59.880 correspondent in edmonton so branching out all over the place the western standard is spreading

00:11:06.360 like a fungus a fungus something better i got to come up with a better analogy than that yeah

00:11:11.080 i think so all right all right thanks dave i'll let you get back to that plethora of stories to

00:11:15.240 cover and thank you after the show you bet right on that is our ever busy news editor dave naylor

00:11:21.640 And yes, as you see, lots of stories, national, local, international, even if we're going to bring up Trump.

00:11:28.080 And the reason we've got Dave back there, these new reporters, these people spreading, not so fungus-like,

00:11:32.880 but into Edmonton and Ottawa and all over, we're going to have William Barclay on shortly to talk about that,

00:11:39.040 is because you guys have been subscribing, and we really appreciate that.

00:11:43.320 So check it out if you haven't subscribed yet, guys.

00:11:45.880 It's like a newspaper subscription, the old way, westernstandard.news slash subscription.

00:11:49.460 get past that pesky paywall, and it helps us keep bringing that news to you and separates you

00:11:55.100 from that tax-funded cesspool of legacy media. If you subscribed already, thank you very much.

00:12:02.180 We really, really do appreciate it. You're holding things together for us. And if you haven't yet,

00:12:07.660 come on, get on there. Hey, the Christmas season's coming up. You want to know what you should get

00:12:11.700 that liberal uncle who drives you crazy? Buy him a subscription with the standard for a year. Give

00:12:16.260 the card for that at Christmas over the dinner table. That'll make things excited over there,

00:12:19.980 right? All right. Either way, yes, lots going on. I want to get back a bit to just the scope of the

00:12:27.080 mess. This story isn't going to go away for a while. What's happening with the Cowichan tribes

00:12:31.020 and that garbage dump that's going on over there. There's a Twitter, you know, ex-personality,

00:12:36.880 I guess you could say Brittany, Brittany, she posts by on there, if you're not familiar with

00:12:41.600 it, B-R-A-T-T-A-N-I. And she actually works driving, you know, one of those massive mining

00:12:47.240 style dump trucks, you know, which moves a lot of dirt and everything. She's been kind of crunching

00:12:52.120 the numbers with what we're hearing about that dump and what it would take to clean that up.

00:12:57.000 Because I threw out some rough numbers because it's not my field of specialty, but I just looked,

00:13:02.140 you know, using Google and trying to look at the cost per yard of cleaning contaminated soil or

00:13:06.380 moving it or whatnot. And it could work out to 400,000 tons of soil, which going on the low end,

00:13:14.840 disposing of contaminated soil is about $250 a ton. You're looking at $100 million.

00:13:23.940 That is a big tab. And who's going to cover it? We know, unfortunately, the taxpayers.

00:13:29.700 And that could go as high as 600 a ton. So it could be much more than that. And people were

00:13:36.260 wondering how and why this happened this is where we need more investigation too because we've had

00:13:40.900 construction companies that were dumping their dumping is expensive if you do demolition and

00:13:44.820 so on you have to pay to take those materials to a landfill but if there was somebody offering say

00:13:50.260 on the couch and reserve saying you know I'll charge you only half that with cash well they go

00:13:55.320 there those construction companies should be looked into but where we're talking about hundreds

00:14:00.860 of thousands of tons of material, even at half price. Again, we're looking at millions and

00:14:06.700 millions of dollars have been changing hands. That's why this individual felt compelled to

00:14:10.740 pollute a giant area that he was maintaining on the reserve. And that's why, because again,

00:14:15.780 if you look at the roads, you look at the maps, if you look on Google Maps, hundreds, if not

00:14:19.960 thousands of dump trucks would have had to drive right past the Cowichan Band offices on the way

00:14:24.460 to this illegal dump and dump their material. Let's not pretend they didn't know it was happening.

00:14:29.680 So why didn't they do anything?

00:14:32.260 Again, it has to be investigated.

00:14:33.740 I won't point fingers.

00:14:34.560 I don't feel like getting sued any more than I have to,

00:14:36.640 but I suspect some people made some really good money out of that over some

00:14:39.580 years, and now we got to pay to clean it up.

00:14:42.000 So let's keep that story alive because, guys, I hate to say it,

00:14:45.080 and I've been showing that on the videos I've posted when I've toured reserves.

00:14:48.940 The Cowichan aren't unique with this, unfortunately.

00:14:50.960 Maybe it might be the biggest.

00:14:51.800 I sure hope it is.

00:14:52.840 But there's issues going on everywhere.

00:14:54.300 Okay, let's get on to my guest.

00:14:55.440 I've been looking forward to this.

00:14:56.500 We're expanding.

00:14:57.200 we've got william barkley out in ottawa out in the heart of the federal politics and he's already

00:15:02.880 been putting up great stories and he's given us coverage from out there out east so let's

00:15:07.120 bring william in and have a conversation hey thanks for joining us today hey mr morgan thank

00:15:11.760 you so much for having me on the show it's a pleasure to meet you and be here with you today

00:15:15.520 yeah like anything i am the new parliamentary correspondent for you guys at western standard

00:15:20.240 it's been a lot of fun yeah well i guess your hardest part will just be picking and choosing

00:15:25.280 I mean, there's only so much you can cover and there's so much going on over there.

00:15:29.700 Finding the most important stuff to put into a story and share with us.

00:15:34.240 Oh, my God.

00:15:34.720 Yeah, there's just kind of so much information, so much going on here, especially in Ottawa and the budget dropping and everything.

00:15:41.480 One of the things that I found to be kind of funny with everything, just with regards to my coming on with you guys, is we actually have a very long history together.

00:15:49.760 Long before, much long before, Fox designated me as Canada's foremost young conservative voice.

00:15:55.780 You guys actually published my very first op-ed ever for Young Voices.

00:15:59.600 Actually, my very first interview because of that op-ed with you guys.

00:16:03.100 So I just, you know, we have a very long history together.

00:16:05.160 I think I was actually interviewed on the Western Standard's anniversary.

00:16:08.440 So there's definitely some poetic entanglement at play, you know?

00:16:11.940 Oh, well, awesome.

00:16:13.020 Well, I'm glad it came full circle and we've got you on board, you know, all the time now.

00:16:17.340 I'm looking forward to your contributions.

00:16:19.640 Your most recent one, I mean, we'll start with that kind of.

00:16:21.920 Your last column was on military spending.

00:16:23.940 And I mean, boy, there's a lot of money going in there trying to counter what's not been a lot of proper resources going into the military for a long time.

00:16:32.380 Can you kind of expand on that?

00:16:34.200 Yeah, well, actually, I would say there hasn't been anywhere near enough money going into the military.

00:16:37.700 So despite the fact that the Liberal government has very much enthusiastically designated billions of dollars for left-wing talking points and wasteful DEI initiatives,

00:16:45.660 like the Department for Women and Gender Equity wage, funny enough. The 2025 budget has failed

00:16:51.820 to actually earnestly invest in the Canadian Armed Forces. I mean, this isn't really surprising,

00:16:55.580 although it is disappointing, because for over a decade, the Liberal government has really

00:16:59.260 forsaken the Canadian Armed Forces and permitted Canada's national security apparatus to erode

00:17:03.660 and collapse spectacularly. Our forces suffer from a chronic lack of personnel and inadequate

00:17:08.940 training. I think we actually have to rely on an army of public service right now,

00:17:12.620 servants right now, actually, to boost our ranks by 300,000, I think it is. Our military is always

00:17:17.800 severely under-equipped and routinely forced to deploy decrepit military technology and equipment.

00:17:22.780 I think it's 50% of our military equipment is actually unavailable and unserviceable,

00:17:26.640 and only 58% of the military would actually be able to respond at all if NATO called on us for

00:17:32.400 any help at all. I think actually the sum total of our military projection ambition now consists

00:17:36.940 of only three frigates, two fighter jet squadrons, and one mechanized brigade. I think this is probably

00:17:41.880 worst of all, under the auspices of liberal government, the Canadian Armed Forces has very

00:17:46.400 much been forced to very much abandon Canada's proud military history and martial sentiment.

00:17:51.340 I think the Canadian nation as a whole very much has been forced to divorce itself from the reality

00:17:55.660 that long before the Canadian state was a peacekeeper and a steward for other nations, Canada

00:18:00.700 was a peacemaker and renowned as one of the international community's most spectacular

00:18:04.920 merchants of violence and loving severity. I think the problem for all of us, though, is that

00:18:10.420 despite the Liberal government's attempts to shirk Canada's military history,

00:18:14.580 national power and sovereignty have become a prerequisite for every state post-Trump.

00:18:19.240 And I think all of us in Canada kind of have to confront the fact that this disturbing lack of military funding

00:18:25.100 kind of forces this looming specter of a 51st state to become altogether too real.

00:18:31.200 So, I mean, part of this too is Mark Carney seems to be most concerned with his reputation in Europe.

00:18:37.400 He's been very Eurocentric with a lot of his actions and just the way he is.

00:18:42.200 One of his bigger embarrassments, I think, though, getting raked over the coals,

00:18:45.120 was Canada has been terribly short when it comes to fulfilling NATO commitments.

00:18:49.000 I mean, whether people agree or not, we've committed to a certain amount.

00:18:52.380 Is this civil service idea just more of a number juggling way to say,

00:18:56.580 look, we've expanded our capability and it's also a way maybe to keep some civil servants subsidized and happy?

00:19:02.760 because it's not i can't see how this could turn into anything functional militarily whether a

00:19:07.720 peacemaker peacekeeper or heaven forbid an actual wartime action oh absolutely i agree with you

00:19:13.240 100 i think it was our previous minister of national defense that our military is in a

00:19:16.520 death spiral and i don't think the 300 000 public servants however many are going to fix that that

00:19:20.920 spiral anytime soon what we need is is submarines aircraft carriers we need proper training i think

00:19:27.480 we only have one submarine i think it was built in the 1980s to to police our whole coast and

00:19:32.600 and that's just simply unacceptable um especially to try to back it up with public servants i think

00:19:37.000 even with regards to the the funding uh that's supposed to go towards the military in the budget

00:19:41.080 it's remained kind of vague they haven't even really told us how much is supposed to be going

00:19:44.200 there year by year they just kind of said we're going to give this much money to you guys eventually

00:19:47.480 at some point um and that's simply not okay especially for a country like canada that like

00:19:51.800 i said used to be at the vanguard of military uh let's say prominence on the international stage

00:19:57.400 so something that's on your table now with your role over there we've got the budget

00:20:02.680 deliberations going on it's a massive budget a massive deficit budget uh the question people

00:20:10.360 are throwing out i don't personally i don't think it's going to happen but we're watching

00:20:13.800 the intrigue the political play and so on do you think this budget's going to pass um

00:20:21.080 i i think that it'll ultimately lead to an election i i think that's what everybody's

00:20:24.680 gearing up for i think that is in a way what the majority of the parties and political actors want

00:20:29.560 um but i i think that it will ultimately lead to an election um i i think too uh maybe the other

00:20:35.320 thing that the budget has done is it's act as a catalyst for a curious fracturing of not just the

00:20:39.480 conservative party but the liberal party as well um what we've seen actually is mark carney has

00:20:43.800 quietly been being forced to kind of uh back off on getting rid of the ev mandate that actually i

00:20:48.440 think is going to be sticking around in order to placate people within his own party like uh like

00:20:52.120 like Gilbo. And we've actually seen Liberal MPs, I think it was Erskine, criticize the budget

00:20:58.300 emphatically simply because it failed to deliver and it's placed debt, incredible debt upon the

00:21:03.980 shoulders of Canada's youth. And so I think that more than anything, what we're seeing with the

00:21:07.300 budget is not just that it'll result in an election, but it has resulted in very much a

00:21:12.040 fracturing of not just the Conservative Party, but all parties, I would wager.

00:21:16.960 So, I mean, yeah, the interesting thing with Erskine, you know, the one Liberal voice kind

00:21:21.300 jumping out of the crowd, which is exceptional because they tend to keep a pretty tight ship,

00:21:25.300 though he's coming at it from the left. He's not saying that they're spending too much or

00:21:30.080 spending irresponsibly. He's concerned about, you know, them cutting in areas like that's

00:21:34.180 failing tree planting program or some green initiatives. But that kind of comes towards

00:21:39.500 some of the stuff that you sent in your abstract. The Liberal government has spent a long time

00:21:43.820 oppressing the right wing conservative values. And for Carney to try and pivot now to try and

00:21:50.840 eat some of that voter base up or or try to pretend that he can build the economy this is

00:21:56.360 the pushback he's kind of getting into the soup of his of the liberal party's own making at this

00:22:00.680 point yeah absolutely i i think you're bang on i think that what we've seen is for over a decade

00:22:06.360 all right-wing ideology and politics have become oppressed in canada and and what we've seen is

00:22:10.920 that the left-wing pundits and political actors are complicit in this um they very much deployed

00:22:15.080 the term populism and populist as catch-all terms for all right-wing ideology and every conservative

00:22:20.040 and so they've erected almost this ecosystem right where in every right-wing ideology is not

00:22:25.240 really a competing ethos none of the values are not merely a different perspective but rather

00:22:29.880 they're inherently evil and undemocratic and therefore an enemy that has to be eradicated

00:22:34.360 and destroyed along with its adherence and so what we've seen in canada's political discourse

00:22:38.440 has collapsed and open persecution has become a macabre reality almost for daily for the daily

00:22:43.800 life the life of every conservative in canada in fact politically motivated violence even now

00:22:49.080 threatens to replace all dialogue and implode the Canadian state. I think most people in Canada now

00:22:53.960 feel as though they inhabit something that's more akin to kind of this Habesian state of nature

00:22:58.680 than any proper nation. So getting to that, one of the things you're going to be able to give us

00:23:05.320 a better perspective of, being in Ottawa, a lot of what goes on too. We've got a conservative

00:23:12.600 liberal split regionally across this country. That divide is pretty harsh and it's difficult

00:23:18.280 for conservative parties to win inroads in central Canada. But I mean, some of that interplay that's

00:23:24.520 going on in Ottawa, is there much concern about the regionalism, the fracturing, the things that

00:23:29.880 are going on, or are they still more focused on centralized power? Well, I think, unfortunately,

00:23:35.240 Ottawa is kind of a beast unto itself. I think they're focused on their own agenda.

00:23:39.080 What I would say, though, is that the Democracy Index, one of the foremost indicators of, again,

00:23:43.640 democracy in the world, has actually confirmed that tensions between the liberal federal

00:23:47.480 government the conservative-led provinces are now one of the biggest risks in Canada political

00:23:51.640 to political stability in Canada and this is specifically because the Liberal government

00:23:55.400 has flagrantly abused and manipulated Canada's fundamental democratic processes in order to

00:24:00.280 ignore the values of conservative Canadians and exclude right-wing needs from Canada's national

00:24:05.480 trajectory. So there's a lot of speculation then going on I mean I kind of to be honest and it's

00:24:12.840 good we get those different views I got a feeling they're going to squeak through with this budget

00:24:16.520 it. I mean, the conservatives would love to win a government, but they don't really seem well

00:24:21.640 placed to do it at this point. My prediction, though I could be wrong, I certainly have been

00:24:26.300 before, is that a handful of conservatives will get the flu on key votes and those things will

00:24:32.160 manage to slide by. But if it doesn't happen, if, as you think, we head into an election,

00:24:37.900 what do you think? I mean, then it would probably be liberal government manufactured. I mean,

00:24:42.080 they'd be the ones who would want it the most. They're kind of sitting pretty good right now.

00:24:44.960 If they can look like they were pushed off of a good agenda and forced into an election, that's how they would play it.

00:24:51.900 What do you think their strengths would be or campaign platform going into an election less than a year after the last one?

00:24:59.340 Well, so I think that one of the things that we need to stay away from is this narrative that conservatism is somehow in decline in Canada.

00:25:06.980 I think that the media and liberal politicians have essentially constructed this narrative, especially post-election.

00:25:11.620 and now certain conservative politicians are becoming beholden to it and kind of bullied

00:25:15.880 into fulfilling its prophecies. You know, I think we've seen Jeanne Roux retire recently and

00:25:20.340 everything with Chris D'Entremont. But I think that this is all part of a greater attempted

00:25:24.720 narrative push we've seen over the past few years. This attempt to kind of convince everyone that

00:25:28.980 right-wing values, conservatism, religion are all dying out. And it's simply not true,

00:25:33.560 especially amongst Canada's youth, and which is for all intents and purposes, Canada's future.

00:25:37.460 And that's kind of where I look for the election.

00:25:40.580 I think that data indicates that if the last election were to have been decided by Canada's

00:25:44.520 youth, actually, we would have been blessed with a conservative government.

00:25:47.580 And countless studies demonstrate that conservative values are firmly on the uptick among

00:25:51.480 Canada's youth.

00:25:52.220 And in this era of rampant uncertainty, they crave, they aspire towards structure and objective

00:25:57.020 value.

00:25:57.680 And that is the hallmark of conservatism.

00:26:00.480 I think more than anything, we need to, as the right, need to be careful not to inadvertently

00:26:05.740 fall into this trap of reiterating that narrative that conservatism is in decline because it's

00:26:10.520 simply not true. But we do risk speaking it into existence. I think that's precisely what's

00:26:15.300 happening kind of right in front of our eyes even with this, so to speak, fracturing of the

00:26:19.640 conservative party with this narrative that the conservatives have no hope in the next election

00:26:23.220 with this belief that regardless of what happens, we're looking at a liberal government.

00:26:28.140 I think we need to, in a way, like I was saying, abandon and avoid speaking that into existence.

00:26:33.380 yes no i mean defeatism of course is going to be a self-perpetuating uh ideology if you take that on

00:26:41.140 uh the budget's kind of overwhelming everything right now as as it should i guess i mean it's

00:26:45.780 it's a massive thing but we are in the middle of a parliamentary session are there some other bills

00:26:50.020 or or committee actions these are the sort of things you're going to be you know trying to

00:26:53.060 keep your eyes open through but but they slide under the radar sometimes during budget time is

00:26:57.460 is there other stuff going on we should be watching oh what i'd be looking at right now

00:27:01.300 actually is the major projects i think what we've seen is that although carney's i spent a little

00:27:05.380 bit of time kind of pantomiming that he's on it that danielle smith is on the other line and that

00:27:09.460 there will be a pipeline eventually um he he's i guess he's announcing them officially on thursday

00:27:14.260 but uh the the latest batch of on his living list of major projects is kind of leaked and there are

00:27:20.500 no new oil pipelines on this list right um and and i think that that's really one of the the

00:27:26.420 things that i'd look at right now is this major projects office um it's supposed to be a living

00:27:30.100 list it's supposed to be something that's perpetually updated and dynamic and so i would

00:27:34.420 wager that um anything that's going to be kind of slipped under the table uh maybe not slipped under

00:27:40.820 the table but i i think that this this major projects office is is really going to be uh the

00:27:46.500 locus of a lot of controversy for the liberal government going forward especially with uh how

00:27:51.140 much carne is being over promising and under delivering especially vis-a-vis oil oil pipelines

00:27:56.980 Yeah, well, it's funny.

00:27:58.360 I was doing an interview with, well, I'll say it all right, with Rebel this morning

00:28:01.680 and something that was laid out that they've dug into, which is interesting.

00:28:04.680 That major project's office, they put supposedly in Calgary for the sake of optics.

00:28:09.400 It turns out that six months later, whatever it's been since they announced it,

00:28:12.160 they still don't even actually have an office yet.

00:28:14.160 They've only got one employee and one person in charge of it,

00:28:17.440 but they've got a budget of something like $20 million.

00:28:20.460 So what on earth are they doing?

00:28:22.040 I mean, this just sounds like, okay, we've created this shell of an office,

00:28:25.140 but in reality everything's going to come through the Privy Council.

00:28:28.580 Yeah, absolutely. I think, and again, that seems to be one of these hallmarks of the

00:28:32.900 Carney government. Again, like all these Potemkin villages that appear to be something,

00:28:38.580 and they're really just almost vapor. I think that he, again, is in a lot of ways worse than

00:28:44.500 Justin Trudeau in a lot of ways. I think he's worse in terms of globalism. I think he's worse

00:28:48.580 in terms of Canada's future. And I think he's definitely worse in terms of being kind of the

00:28:52.020 the quintessential liberal wearing these rose-stinted glasses as champagne socialists,

00:28:57.280 promising everything to Canadian people and really delivering nothing to them,

00:29:01.420 really every dollar and cent going into his own coffers.

00:29:04.760 Well, yes, a lot of things seem to, roads lead to Brookfield,

00:29:08.880 and I understand he's distanced himself from the management of that.

00:29:12.400 But, you know, that's a difficult area, though, when you are,

00:29:16.040 to be fair a little bit to Prime Minister Carney,

00:29:18.480 when you've had a lot of financial interests, you recuse yourself from those when you go into

00:29:23.120 government. And because his are so large and so extensive with large operations, I mean, even

00:29:29.280 he may not be at fault with some of them that fall into government contracts or conflict, but

00:29:33.680 he's always going to be accused. There's always going to be that taint if we see anything tied

00:29:38.000 into Brookfield coming through the federal government. It's a mire he's going to have

00:29:41.200 to deal with for his entire term. Absolutely. I think that the way that he has sought to deal

00:29:46.480 with it though it speaks volumes he hasn't endeavored to be open and transparent although

00:29:51.280 he has used those words instead he's tried to conceal things and and i think that he is very

00:29:55.920 much like a walking conflict of interest is really the the phrase that that's bandied about

00:30:00.080 um i i think that he's engaged in in uh excess of lies uh since his term began i think beginning

00:30:08.160 with things like uh uh pretending to call off the tariffs and these kinds of things with donald

00:30:14.960 Trump and things that just simply didn't happen. Yeah, well, there's a lot to watch and a lot

00:30:21.680 going on. I mean, it seems like it's the same stuff, different face in a sense. I'll not use

00:30:27.840 the full analogy that tends to be a little more fecal. So before I let you go, I really appreciate

00:30:33.760 you coming on. I guess you're going to pop on the pipeline with us a little later too.

00:30:38.240 What else are you working on right now? And where can people find your work,

00:30:41.520 not just with the western standard but outside of it yeah so uh on the 16th and 17th actually

00:30:46.880 what's next up for me is i'll be at the toronto democracy forum at the university of toronto

00:30:51.040 presenting my essay uh canada's right-wing response to a decade of liberal oppression

00:30:56.240 um and you if you guys want you guys can find my work over on twitter at will barclay pcbg

00:31:02.240 that's where you find all my articles for western standard elsewhere all my media appearances and

00:31:06.640 we should have a homepage and a website up properly. Thank you guys so much.

00:31:11.680 All right. Excellent. Great to meet you. And looking forward to watching you covering Ottawa

00:31:15.440 on our behalf, because I don't want to go over there and look at all that stuff.

00:31:18.560 So thank you again. I'm sure we'll be talking again soon.

00:31:21.760 Sounds great. Thank you so much for having me.

00:31:23.760 Great. Thanks. So one more time, guys. Yeah, that's William Barkley. And yeah,

00:31:28.160 you're going to be seeing a lot out of him. I mean, as you can hear there,

00:31:30.560 he's got his finger on the pulse of all those things that are going on over there.

00:31:33.840 you know, Ottawa is, I mean, one of the things he mentioned, it's true, there's a different

00:31:38.480 attitude there. It's a, they're introverted, you know, they don't necessarily think outside of

00:31:44.300 there. That's one of the things I talk about regionalism, people get upset with Ottawa or

00:31:47.260 Toronto, saying they don't like Westerners. Actually, guys, it's a lot worse than that.

00:31:51.440 They rarely actually even think of us. We don't register on their scale of paying attention.

00:31:57.720 And that's, I think, more hurtful in some ways than, you know, them actually doing things

00:32:02.600 detrimental to us. It's an indifference. And that was, I remember answering a question about that

00:32:10.720 before with somebody saying, well, should we send more people as MPs? The way I see is we're sending

00:32:14.600 more good people to ruin them in Ottawa. The term used to be domed disease or auto-washed.

00:32:20.460 You look at members of parliament when they spend too much time in that world and how they come back.

00:32:26.240 There's truth to it. That's part of, with Jason Kenney, as I said, I really respected his work

00:32:32.440 in the 90s taxpayers federation and then as a member of parliament with the reform party he

00:32:37.920 was a bulldog he was repeatedly uh awarded kind of like the hardest worker in parliament

00:32:43.220 and after all that time he came back he came provincial and you know what

00:32:47.640 he'd lost touch with the province and the people that he began with he'd been in ottawa too long

00:32:54.360 smart man dedicated man but he'd really kind of forgotten why he began or what the connection was

00:33:01.360 out here anyways. And that's why he couldn't maintain that. He did good work in getting the

00:33:05.640 parties together, becoming premier, but really didn't get a grasp on what the citizens and the

00:33:11.820 conservative citizens wanted out here. And ultimately it cost him his job. Yeah, we got

00:33:18.820 all sorts of stuff going on. And as William pointed out, this has been coming up. Dave

00:33:23.860 mentioned that memorandum of understanding. I'm wondering when Premier Smith is going to

00:33:30.380 take the clause out. She's been polite. She's kept talking about optimism. I think a lot of

00:33:37.360 it's politics because she's no fool by any measure and nothing's happening. I mean,

00:33:43.380 she made nine demands, you know, getting up to six months ago. This is what we want to see from

00:33:47.820 the government or else, but she never filled in after that or else. And that deadline is creeping

00:33:52.840 up really fast now. The deadline of nice optics was Grey Cup Day. Well, that's coming up this

00:34:00.480 weekend. The deadline is here. Where's the or else? Don't wave a memorandum of understanding

00:34:06.860 and say, look, we got something by Grey Cup Day. That's crap. That's an IOU. It's not worth the

00:34:14.700 paper it'll be written on. It's pointless. So let's see something because yes, we're talking

00:34:20.480 at the big announcement and it's been leaked so we know there's no oil going and the reason there's

00:34:26.720 no oil and that's the juggling act and that's the disingenuous crap coming out of Kearney

00:34:30.840 is of course they keep playing that saying there's no private interest wants to invest

00:34:35.840 of course there isn't who in their right mind would invest in developing oil in Alberta and

00:34:41.880 trying to get it to the coast when we have a tanker ban it's impossible to export it why would

00:34:46.860 you invest in that or when we have bill c69 the anti-pipeline bill those have to go first those

00:34:54.440 have to be stricken before a private company is going to say you know what i'll consider

00:34:59.300 starting the process to get a pipeline out of alberta to a coast because they've had the rug

00:35:06.940 pulled on them too many times already they know better and hey and i know it's not just canada

00:35:11.020 they built the keystone right to the alberta border and then biden yanked it out on them

00:35:15.080 we had energy east which again they say oh well the private interest to pull out because it wasn't

00:35:21.560 financial financially feasible that's true but the reason it wasn't feasible was because the

00:35:27.640 bloody government threw so many regulations on it they ground it into the dust i mean i think it was

00:35:33.760 tc energy but they lost a billion on that thing just trying to get it done and it never got off

00:35:40.740 the ground. Trans Mountain, again, the liberals like to rephrase it, or West, you know, Eastern

00:35:46.060 apologists say, look what we gave the West, we gave them the Trans Mountain. I'll kiss my butt.

00:35:50.940 We never asked you guys to build the Trans Mountain. We just wanted you to get out of the

00:35:55.120 bloody way. That was an example of Trudeau overplaying his hand because he shut down the

00:36:00.480 Northern Gateway, which would have been built by now. He shut down Energy East, and then Kinder

00:36:06.600 Morgan mired in all these regulations, spending billions, losing all that money. Finally, they

00:36:11.240 said, you know what? We're out. We can't do this expansion. We're done. We're pulling out. And they

00:36:16.180 realized, holy cow, we've overdone it because financially, I'm sure Trudeau didn't figure it

00:36:20.820 out, but somebody smarter than him in his office said that we've got to do something about this.

00:36:23.940 Kinder Morgan wasn't coming back. So they spent 30 some billion tax dollars to build that when it

00:36:30.860 could have been built years prior without a single tax dollar and privately at a cost of,

00:36:36.240 I think the initial one was four and a half billion, maybe seven it moved up to.

00:36:40.460 So we are not getting this pipeline.

00:36:45.640 So then the ball is in Daniel Smith's court because that's what it is.

00:36:49.400 It's back and forth, right?

00:36:50.660 It's the things.

00:36:52.200 She's been generous enough to say it's in the federal government's court for this long.

00:36:56.220 Well, nothing's happened.

00:36:57.000 And that was great with Sheila and Elise when I was on that interview when they broke it

00:37:01.140 down and showed it with checking those numbers out from the Privy Council.

00:37:04.260 How serious are they about this supposed big office? All that fanfare and opening it in Calgary. Calgary downtown still has a vacancy rate of nearly 30%. It's not like they're having a hard time finding room down here because they drove out all the oil companies. We've got lots of office space, guys.

00:37:20.980 You haven't even opened an office.

00:37:23.540 You haven't even hired multiple staff.

00:37:26.400 This is supposed to be something that's managing the projects that are going to move billions, perhaps over time, supposedly, if you believe the hoopla, trillions of dollars in Canadian products all over the world for decades.

00:37:40.180 They got one person assigned to it who has one assistant who presumably is working from home because they haven't even leased an office.

00:37:48.660 eight six a commenter saying uh where do we go from here all roads lead to independence yes

00:37:55.180 that's where i see it i i've talked about that i don't think premier smith should come out and say

00:37:59.700 we need to move towards independence but that's where i'm saying she should pull the trigger and

00:38:03.240 say okay you know what the referendum's on june 20 or something i don't know set a date let's run

00:38:09.060 it let's have the question let's have it out uh commenter my two cents 581 says there's an option

00:38:15.180 Alberta can ship oil north to Alaska and move it out that way. Yes, but it would cost a fortune.

00:38:21.460 Plus, we just can't get it up there even without a whole bunch of federal getting out of the bloody

00:38:28.480 way. Plus, there's the same hazard with that, that you get it built to the edge and then suddenly a

00:38:34.540 Democrat comes in and shuts down as they did with the Keystone. We need to get to a coast, absolutely.

00:38:40.280 But we need to get it moving domestically. This is where, this is the only chance. This is it.

00:38:45.180 This is what a federation is supposed to be for.

00:38:48.960 This is why it isn't a unitary government, supposedly, in Canada.

00:38:52.740 It's supposed to be 10 provinces yet bound by an agreement, by a constitution saying we're going to work in each other's interests together because it makes it stronger as a federation.

00:39:04.060 Part of that is a province is not supposed to be allowed to stop interprovincial infrastructure, highways, railways, pipelines.

00:39:14.120 that's government federal government authority that's where a proper federal government should

00:39:19.500 be stepping in telling David Eby too damn bad it's not your authority it's an inter-provincial

00:39:25.840 pipeline it's gonna go we don't need memorandums of understanding we don't need committees look

00:39:30.720 we are sitting on one of the largest oil deposits on earth the world wants it they want it badly

00:39:38.000 demand for oil and the products associated with it has only risen despite the peak oil cook balls

00:39:43.960 oh we're going to run out of oil or people won't want it anymore they've been telling us that since

00:39:47.460 the 70s i was in diapers when they were talking about peak oil look at me now i'm gray i'm late

00:39:53.240 middle aged peak it'll peak one day but it hasn't yet and if it's going to peak that means we should

00:39:58.360 be digging it out and selling it as much as possible before it does it means we got to get

00:40:02.940 pipelines to the coast canadian coast how we do that again the companies know that they know there's

00:40:11.900 demand. They know that they can move that product, but they need to know they can get it done. They

00:40:18.080 need the tanker band gone and they need C-69 gone. Carney knows that too. He won't get rid of it.

00:40:24.760 Well, yeah, the independence option then. Let's get on with it. Let's talk about it. Let's have

00:40:29.720 that vote. Ah, what else do we got going on out there? Yeah, Dave talking about that. You know,

00:40:35.200 flags at city halls, you know, let's just stop it. Let's just stop it. No flags. You know,

00:40:41.900 that that's a motion put forward uh going to the the uh i think it was bonita i'm not sure but it's

00:40:49.420 coming up from one of the constituencies going to the ucp convention i think it's a very reasonable

00:40:53.500 one let's just stop all this crap why should any municipality be worrying about flying the

00:40:57.400 international flags or flags of lobby groups or anything whatsoever just stop it just stop it the

00:41:02.440 symbolism just divides people infuriates people brings i mean a lot of people talk about when you

00:41:08.040 talk about the Middle Eastern thing going on, it brings that conflict to our streets. People

00:41:13.240 saying, I don't want to hear about either side of it. Okay. Well, why are we inviting flashpoints

00:41:17.820 by civic governments taking sides and getting involved in it? Make it simple. National flag,

00:41:24.440 provincial flag, and a city flag or municipal flag, if they have one of that sort. And that's it.

00:41:29.940 Nothing else for anybody else. Get over it. It's not an infringement of free expression.

00:41:34.600 you can fly your flag wherever you want and whatever you want to do, just not on the property

00:41:39.060 of a civic building. Because let's cut it out. It's not making things better.

00:41:45.280 You know, I've been talking since I got back from Israel and some of those things.

00:41:48.080 There's a lot going on. We need some rational debate on it. Some of the stuff going on in the

00:41:52.620 West Bank right now. And there's truth to that. Settlers in the West Bank, it's a complicated

00:41:58.040 mess of an area. It's managed somewhat by the Palestinian Authority, managed somewhat by

00:42:03.640 Israel managed somewhat by third parties. And they're all somewhat living in that mess. You

00:42:09.820 know, in Gaza, it was just a walled off city full of a, you know, a terrorist farm. And we saw the

00:42:13.900 worst possible outcome. But there are some extreme settlers, Jewish ones, Israeli ones, that are

00:42:21.240 attacking other settlements in the West Bank. And it happened again. There was a big one yesterday.

00:42:27.400 it's got to stop. This is not helping. This is not, this is giving ammunition to the anti-Israel

00:42:33.640 bunch. Apparently, Israel responded quickly and did crack down and intervene on those settlers

00:42:39.820 attack in the neighboring settlement out there in the West Bank. But they've been known to kind of

00:42:44.620 get some selective blindness when those attacks were happening before. Let's have those talks.

00:42:49.420 If we do want to see peace, we do want to see things resolved. We got to start talking about

00:42:53.840 how we deal with that then, maybe backing off some of those settlements in the West Bank.

00:42:57.400 But, you know, building bigger walls around Gaza, I don't, a lot more talk.

00:43:01.200 But when we're doing stuff out here, like raising flags back and forth and screaming at each other and inviting the lunatics to spout out all our garbage and baloney about colonialism and all that crap, then nothing productive is happening here or over there.

00:43:15.880 So, yeah, everything starts at home, a little bit on our end as well.

00:43:18.800 Whether we want to talk about those issues over there or not, it's, they are going to impact us a bit.

00:43:24.720 that's one of the things with Canada being a country that has people that came from all over

00:43:29.400 the world that landed here. They do unfortunately bring some of their baggage with them and they

00:43:33.440 maintain some of that. They maintain feelings and ties to wherever they came from, whether it's

00:43:37.700 Ireland, whether it's Pakistan, whether it's China, these things have to be addressed. I think in ways,

00:43:43.780 if we do it right, it can make us stronger as a country. But if we allow those divisions and wars

00:43:48.840 and fights from over there to come over here and we start fighting each other on the Canadian streets,

00:43:51.900 Well, we're not solving much of anything over there or here, but at the beginning, stop raising

00:43:58.820 bloody flags in city halls that don't belong. Why the hell should the Palestinian flag go up in

00:44:02.780 Calgary at the city hall or Toronto at the city hall? It's just a flash point and there's going

00:44:08.820 to be problems that we invited, that we didn't need. Speaking of stupid problems, I'll leave

00:44:14.300 off with yet another one because we aren't hearing about justice reform from the liberal government.

00:44:17.720 They keep talking about it, but they aren't doing it. Another gladiator decision. The gladiator

00:44:20.800 decision is a court thing where judges are instructed to basically give a lighter sentence

00:44:26.940 to indigenous offenders because, well, life's just been rough to them. And it doesn't make them any

00:44:31.640 less dangerous. It doesn't help them get reformed. It just means they get out faster to re-offend

00:44:35.780 and hurt somebody else. It doesn't work. I don't care about well-meaning policies. I care about

00:44:40.160 outcomes. And the Gladue decisions are hurting people. This guy was a dangerous offender who

00:44:44.800 had a flame thrower in his trunk. Yeah, he was already a convicted drug dealer. Very dangerous

00:44:50.260 man. The judge said, we're going to let you out without doing any more time. Cause yeah,

00:44:55.320 we know you're dangerous. We know you'll probably kill somebody eventually, but

00:44:57.680 you've suffered from intergenerational trauma. Yeah. There's going to be trauma when he kills

00:45:04.280 somebody. He will. You don't carry a flamethrower around without being a problematic person.

00:45:10.120 I don't care about the intergenerational trauma. The intergenerational crap has got to stop too.

00:45:15.760 That's the excuse to keep this milking of wrongdoings that happened 100 years ago and claim

00:45:21.380 that that's your excuse for failing in life today. Too damn bad. And you want trauma,

00:45:27.920 you want people who are poorly treated who didn't fall into that? Check out the Chinatown of any

00:45:32.320 city in Canada. The Chinese were so abused 100 and some years ago in Canada, treated as second

00:45:37.020 class citizens, deported, all sorts of crap. And guess what? They're some of the most successful

00:45:42.120 communities in this whole country today because they didn't mire themselves in victimhood they

00:45:46.000 just worked harder and made themselves better and good on them they deserve every dime they've earned

00:45:49.420 all right that's enough ranting out of me to be sure to tune in to the pipeline a little later

00:45:54.180 tonight subscribe to our channels we're expanding our shows we're going to have more people coming

00:45:57.460 on got a new guy over my shoulder he didn't do anything embarrassing today i'm bummed about that

00:46:01.540 i was hoping for something exciting and uh yeah subscribe share all that good stuff we will see
