good day welcome to the cory morgan show as you can see it's cosplay week in calgary actually
00:01:56.540
give me two weeks worth of it where we get to pretend to be cowboys so for you viewers on the
00:02:00.940
cowboy network and rfd tv who actually know what real cowboys are i i'm paying homage to you guys
00:02:06.780
i i understand i'm not one of you but i really you know give us our chance to pretend to be like
00:02:11.500
you guys for a couple weeks a year it's it's quite fun and uh you know the stampede i mean it's a
00:02:16.380
unique thing actually for folks who haven't been to calgary for it every city has a festival every
00:02:20.220
city has a fair and a parade but there's nothing quite like calgary where you get people just
00:02:25.500
lightening up, wearing jeans to the office, putting hay bales around their business, holding
00:02:30.800
pancake breakfasts. It's different than anywhere else. I mean, some people get a little jaded with
00:02:35.160
it over time, but really there is no other city holds anything quite like it and it's quite fun.
00:02:40.240
So bear with me. You're going to have to look at me in this cowboy duds for this week and next week
00:02:44.460
and then I'll be back to the normal jacket and studgy get up. All right, we've got a great show
00:02:49.300
coming up ahead here. I've got a guest coming on in a while. I've been looking forward to talking
00:02:52.960
to him. He's the CEO of Bow Valley Credit Union, Brett Oland. And they're set up in Alberta and
00:02:58.840
they are doing banking differently. Yes, it can be done differently and it can be done better.
00:03:03.240
And it's pretty exciting what these guys are doing. I'm really looking forward to talking
00:03:06.600
to him about that. You don't have to go the old way with that anymore. So stay tuned in 15 minutes
00:03:11.980
or so. We will have Brett on to talk about it. And of course, we're going to have the news and
00:03:16.140
the other things going on as well. So let me start though. I want to talk about something I
00:03:20.980
is good news. A trend around the world right now. Nations that have traditionally swung left wing
00:03:26.520
are swinging back to the right in general elections. Media outlets, it's great to watch
00:03:31.260
them in every nation and every elitist jerk is howling about the trend and they label every
00:03:36.860
newly elected leader and party as far right. Well, not realizing all they're doing is strengthening
00:03:41.740
the resolve of the citizens to wipe the woke from their government halls. Italy, Finland,
00:03:46.780
Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, and the Czech Republic. They have all elected global or
00:03:51.780
conservative governments to the horror of global elites. Now establishment media outlets are aghast
00:03:58.080
as France is about to democratically shed its left-wing leadership. Argentina, they made the
00:04:02.540
biggest swing from outright socialism to electing Javier Maile, who was acting without hesitation
00:04:08.560
to cut their massive civil service and reform the government. Now left-leaning pundits are terrified
00:04:14.060
by the new leadership in Argentina. They're frightened that his policies are going to cause
00:04:18.200
damage to Argentina. They're afraid the policies will succeed because it'll be yet another one of
00:04:22.380
those many, many examples that socialism doesn't work. In the United States, well, Donald Trump is
00:04:28.160
poised to return to power this fall, and in Canada, the Trudeau government's poised to be crushed as
00:04:32.740
soon as the citizens are given the chance to vote on it. Now, President Biden's clear dementia and
00:04:37.500
Justin Trudeau's ongoing incompetence certainly contributed to the dramatic decline in support
00:04:43.000
for their respective parties, but it's more than that.
00:04:45.380
North Americans have had enough of the woke politics and they're pushing back.
00:04:49.760
I mean, we've been asking to embrace the absurd for too long.
00:04:52.720
Cancel culture has gagged people long enough and they're ready to stand up
00:05:01.500
He predicted the bizarre state enforcement of linguistic nonsense
00:05:05.300
when the dystopian world he created had the government declare
00:05:09.100
war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.
00:05:12.580
But even Orwell never predicted just how ridiculous it was going to get in the real world.
00:05:17.180
People are sick of being told to disregard what they see with their own eyes
00:05:20.580
and that the common sense conclusions they've made are wrong.
00:05:23.920
Citizens are tired of being told that athletes with penises are actually women
00:05:27.160
and it's fair to allow them to compete with real women in events.
00:05:31.020
The claims of systemic racism are exhausting.
0.51
00:05:33.280
In Chicago, a black lesbian extremist named Lori Lightfoot was elected as mayor.
00:05:37.620
It's surprising they didn't cut off one of her legs to fill another checkbox of the woke.
1.00
00:05:41.420
When she lost the next election, she blamed systemic racism.
0.65
00:05:44.820
She was replaced by a black guy, but we're supposed to suspend reality in light of the woke.
0.71
00:05:49.680
People can't cancel, they can't handle the economic abuse of green energy sources any longer.
0.92
00:05:55.200
They won't accept the myth that windmills can replace gasoline.
00:06:01.400
Rather than addressing the deepening social issues in minority communities in North America,
00:06:05.620
policing was blamed and the idiotic defund the police movement was embraced with catastrophic
00:06:10.460
results in major cities in the United States and in Canada. The woke, only the woke can keep a
00:06:15.340
straight face and tell us that reducing policing is the best way to dealing with rising crime rates.
00:06:19.640
Why don't we reduce teachers to help them teach students better? Oh yeah, the union suddenly got
00:06:23.780
a problem with that. While an addiction epidemic is raging though, the woke are telling us the
00:06:27.860
solution is to give them more drugs. I wish I was kidding. The cities that have embraced this have
00:06:32.340
created dystopian ghettos populated with zombie-like addicts who are dying in record numbers.
00:06:37.340
There's no such thing as a safe supply of meth, and citizens know it. In San Francisco, one of
00:06:42.520
the most vibrant cities in North America has been gutted. It's the woke of decriminalized petty
00:06:46.400
crime. Citizens and businesses alike are fleeing. The biggest lie of all, though, is that mass
00:06:51.840
immigration right now is sustainable, and that it isn't causing the socioeconomic havoc that we are
0.82
00:06:57.320
dealing with today. People are capable of seeing what's happening on their streets, and they
00:07:01.580
understand that the economic havoc being caused through unrestrained immigration is a problem,
1.00
00:07:07.040
particularly when most of the immigrants are coming from cultures that have serious issues
1.00
00:07:10.700
with trying to integrate into nations with modern human rights practices. So while supplies and
0.97
00:07:15.240
housing, healthcare, education, and every social service decline, citizens have had it with ivory
00:07:19.840
tower arseholes chiding them for showing their concerns and they're telling people that it has
00:07:25.080
nothing to do with the floods of immigration. It's not racist to ask the government to tap the
00:07:29.820
breaks and slow the rate of immigration to what we can manage, but that's what a person's accused
00:07:34.260
of every time, and people have had enough. People, rather than trying to understand and address why
00:07:39.500
citizens are democratically evicting woke administrations in their countries, the elitists
00:07:44.100
in media and academia are scolding us. They accuse people of everything, again, from racism, selfishness,
00:07:49.400
extremism. They spit out the word populism as if it's a terrible thing. Well, it's another term for
00:07:53.900
democracy, actually, guys. They loathe the very idea that the unwashed masses can impose their will
00:07:58.800
through elections. They'd best be wary. If the majority can't affect change democratically,
00:08:04.340
they'll bring it about through less peaceful means. So don't crap on the elections, guys.
00:08:09.020
It's the safest way to go, and they won't be stopped. Everything goes in cycles. The world's
00:08:12.860
on the brink of another heyday in conservative leadership, like we saw in the 80s with Reagan,
00:08:17.620
Thatcher, and even Brian Mulroney. Hopefully, the democratic course correction goes as smoothly as
00:08:22.520
possible, and citizens shed the idiocy of woke socialism around the world. The change in course
00:08:27.760
will be a positive for us all, as long as the establishment allows democracy to run its course.
00:08:32.060
If democracy is denied, well, the transition could be uglier, but it's coming all the same. And yeah,
00:08:37.000
I know, give it two more generations and they'll swing the pendulum right back to stupidity,
00:08:40.300
but that'll be their problem to deal with then. I'm optimistic though, for the next 10, 15 years,
00:08:44.180
guys, we're finally moving in the right direction. Okay, enough on that. Let's get in the direction
00:08:50.600
of the newsroom. We've got Dave in person in the newsroom again, because the adoring fans said
00:08:55.000
They like that crystal clear picture of having you here in person rather than on the monitor.
00:08:59.220
You know, I don't know about adoring fans, Corey, but certainly my mother says this is way better.
00:09:08.160
Yes, you know, I pull off that cowboy look so convincingly, right?
00:09:12.840
Are you taking the quilting roadshow that you run down to Stampede the Shroom?
00:09:19.080
Well, Gene's got a quilting display down there.
00:09:20.980
hard quilting display. I'll not be attending it as I did with Quilt Canada. I've done my annual
00:09:28.180
pilgrimage. You've done your penance. So speaking of the readership, getting lots of letters,
00:09:33.040
lots of calls, people want to know. So I've got to ask, how's your starfish?
00:09:37.880
Ah, the starfish is fine, but about four inches to the left of it. Yes, I did have a surgery on
00:09:46.620
my left butt cheek, which is part of why I'm sitting more uncomfortably than usual.
00:09:51.500
Yeah, you did look uncomfortable in the newsroom today, that's for sure.
00:09:54.540
It's a recovery. I've been waiting for two years for this thing to get. It's just a lipoma removal,
00:09:58.860
which is just for the people who were eating lunch, a ball of fat that builds up. It's harmless,
00:10:04.540
but annoying and can get uncomfortable. And then finally, I had the opportunity to have a doctor
00:10:09.020
cut that out last Friday, but now, yes, my arse is very tender.
00:10:13.340
So the people that said you're always full of crap were correct.
00:10:17.140
You know, one way or another, it's going to come out of my backside.
00:10:20.120
So we've had a busy news morning already, Corey.
00:10:24.540
Liberal cabinet minister Gerritsen has come out in an interview and said, you know, people used to like the carbon tax.
00:10:30.940
It was okay in 2018, 2019, but only since Pierre Polyev started talking about it has there been opposition.
00:10:40.880
It might have something to do with them raising it many times over.
00:10:44.460
Speaking of cabinet ministers, Natural Resources Minister Wilkinson in Calgary today, our Sean Polzer, asked him about the by-election in Toronto last week that sent shockwaves through the nation, and Wilkinson said he's got complete confidence, quote-unquote, in Justin Trudeau as a leader, and he's going to stick right by him as they plow into the ground.
00:11:09.140
The Liberals are now, speaking of immigration court,
00:11:11.720
the Liberals are now looking at buying hotels across the country to house migrants.
00:11:18.140
They're spending millions and millions of dollars a year on this,
0.99
00:11:22.080
so they think money could be better spent if they bought an odd hotel and put them up there.
00:11:28.060
Speaking of lots of wasted government money, EV subsidies,
00:11:31.640
You remember the Swedish company Norvolt got $7 billion of Canadian money.
00:11:40.160
They're going to build a big EV plant in Quebec.
00:11:44.700
Well, their CEO came out yesterday and said, hey, maybe not so fast.
00:11:48.760
We might be expanding a little too fast, so we have to reconsider everything.
00:11:53.280
So that's, you know, put a bit of a shock into the system.
00:11:56.660
except for the Canadian pension plan, who invested another $400 million today into Northvolt.
00:12:04.960
Manitoba people who want to get their own EV have now, for the first time, been able to get government rebates.
00:12:14.140
Trudeau's Islamophobia czar came out yesterday and said businesses are not hiring Muslim men who support Palestine.
1.00
00:12:22.340
I don't know. I don't know what to say about that court. Maybe they're all in the protest camps and aren't available to work. But anyways, that's what she says. Columnist Adam Zivo takes a look at the drug safe supply scandal and how the people that support it still are now having to go to wacky conspiracy theories to keep up their support.
00:12:48.620
And for the first time ever, Canada's got a female top soldier.
00:12:54.240
Trudeau today appointed Lieutenant General Jenny Kerrigan as the Chief of Defence Staff replacing General Wayne Erie.
00:13:04.700
Lots more up there I haven't mentioned and lots more to come this afternoon.
00:13:10.120
I mean, are you going to be stampeding this year?
00:13:12.340
Well, you know, you mentioned we're jaded in your monologue.
00:13:17.040
I mean, this is as Western as I get, to be honest.
00:13:21.780
I could maybe throw on a pair of jeans, but I don't have gaudy shirts like that.
00:13:28.140
You know, I mean, sorry, wonderful, wonderful shirts like that.
00:13:33.740
Yeah, well, it's just part of what I was saying, you know, at the start.
1.00
00:13:36.960
Sometimes those Calgarians, we can take it for granted,
00:13:38.980
even if not all of us feel we have to go down to the grounds every year and do all that.
00:13:42.620
But it is still kind of a unique festival every year that Calgary gets to hold, even if not every one of us gets this.
00:13:48.900
You know, I've got all the respect in the world for working cowboys and the jobs they do.
00:13:56.340
It's just everything else that surrounds it has become too much.
00:14:04.700
Well, thank you for the update and joining us in studio.
00:14:07.380
I'll let you get back to the newsroom and start clawing through the rest of those news stories there, Dave.
00:14:12.620
That is our news editor, Dave Naylor. This is when I like to pause and remind you all the reason we can pay to have such fine talent is to even the studio like this or having the lesser talent like myself in the studio and the reporters and all those stories is because you guys have been subscribing. We do not take tax dollars. We won't. And because you guys have been subscribing, we were able to stay that way. So we appreciate that. If you haven't subscribed yet, guys, come on. $9.99 a month, $100 for a year. Get past that paywall. Get straight to those stories.
00:14:42.260
And it allows us to keep giving you independent coverage, coverage where we aren't beholden to anybody on what we're going to write about, what we're going to report on, and what we're going to do.
00:14:52.320
So check it out, westernstandard.news slash subscription.
00:14:59.840
Legacy media is going the way of the dodo, guys.
00:15:06.500
I see him in the lobby, and I have been looking forward to this, speaking to the future and doing things differently.
00:15:10.580
And it's the CEO of Blue Valley Credit Union, Brett.
00:15:16.100
We talked to Dave Bradley about that the other week on here.
00:15:27.760
This rhinestone cowboy has got his cowboy boots on.
00:15:33.220
I might get a hat on once in a while, but there you go.
00:15:36.360
Yeah, you see, I'm only showing from the waist up.
00:15:38.340
So I've got the hat and the shirt, but I'm wearing dress shoes, but we can pretend once in a while.
00:15:47.500
And actually, I've had a couple of people ask me to bring you on.
00:15:50.620
I've caught you presenting in a couple of places.
00:15:53.100
As I said at the start, you guys are, well, you're presenting banking and banking services, but you're quite distinct and different from other banks.
00:16:00.900
Maybe I'll let you just kind of pick up from there on what is it with Bo Valley Credit Union that it is unlike other financial institutions.
00:16:06.920
Sure. It probably stems back from what is the difference between like a credit union and a big bank.
00:16:14.160
And so a credit union is regulated by the provincial government rather than the federal government is really the crux of it.
00:16:21.860
We also have 100 percent deposit guarantee compared to the bigger banks, which only have a hundred thousand dollar guarantee.
00:16:30.120
Specifically, what's different about Bow Valley Credit Union is what we've seen in our past.
00:16:36.300
And as we all know, we've gone through a bit of a tough time in the last three years or so.
00:16:42.660
And we did a lot of things that made us a lot more outstanding.
00:16:47.780
First of all, we didn't force any of our staff to get vaccinated with the COVID-19 shot,
00:16:55.460
which is much different than the bigger banks, which actually forced their staff to get vaccinated.
00:17:01.080
uh secondly uh when the trucker convoy was going on uh we were one of the first ones if not the
00:17:08.760
only ones to stick up her hand and say this is not right that you're freezing people's bank accounts
00:17:13.560
uh and we were lucky enough that we never had to freeze anybody's accounts uh as as we soon noted
00:17:21.480
uh just previously that uh it was deemed illegal to actually freeze people's bank accounts and then
00:17:29.260
thirdly uh we're very concerned uh about people's well-being within our organization and see the
00:17:36.220
constant inflation that that seems to be worming its way through society today because of so much
00:17:41.820
printed money and we're making efforts to basically protect our membership and our organization
00:17:48.460
against what we see as constant inflation going uh forward throughout the years uh hence why we're
00:17:55.660
at the Bitcoin Rodeo and why we continue to absorb gold and silver on our balance sheet
00:18:04.160
Yeah, I mean, the first two parts are outstanding.
00:18:07.780
I mean, you're an organization that's standing up on principle for your employees and for
00:18:15.820
They just kind of go with the flow and the government push.
00:18:18.520
And, you know, I just really applaud you guys for making that stance because we know the
00:18:23.540
but the difference that that's that's something that takes a little more explaining but it's
00:18:28.720
really important that you're you're bringing more of a metal-based security a precious metal-based
00:18:33.480
security to back uh the assets of your bank and and uh you know it acts as i guess a hedge against
00:18:40.620
fiat currency can you explain how that works sure uh when when we first started looking at this i
00:18:46.560
i think it took me by surprise and this goes way back to to 2008 during the great financial crisis
00:18:53.200
where governments around the world basically bailed out all the banks and at the time I thought that
00:18:59.960
would be incredibly inflationary. I turned out to be wrong in that regard just because it was tied
00:19:06.400
up in the banking system but this time when they printed trillions and trillions of dollars in 2020
00:19:12.840
to give COVID relief and checks out to everybody basically they locked everybody in a cage stopping
00:19:18.320
production and gave them stimulus checks and so i knew that was going to be massively inflationary
00:19:25.360
and sure enough we're starting to see it energy prices housing prices grocery prices just about
00:19:31.200
everywhere you look you're seeing this this constant burdened inflation and that is because
00:19:36.800
uh the governments around the world injected massive amounts of currency into uh society
00:19:43.520
so now we wanted to be able to protect our membership and our organization against that
00:19:50.240
constant inflation and you need to do it with a hedge such as gold and silver which has stood the
00:19:56.000
test of time throughout history that goes and rises during times of inflation and basically
00:20:03.280
The motto is a rich man's suit 2,000 years ago cost about a gold coin.
00:20:13.080
A gold coin in Canada has a face value of about $50, but it actually has a market value of about $3,300.
00:20:23.420
So if you think about a fine man's suit, a fine tailored suit, shoes, belt, hat if you want, cane if you want,
00:20:29.860
it has the same amount of buying power. And so we're leaning on that within our organization
00:20:36.880
to basically protect our membership from that inflation that is going to be persistent over
00:20:44.820
the next coming decade. Yeah, I mean, the inflation, we knew it was going to be coming,
00:20:49.780
or at least any, you know, economists worth their salt, when the money was being printed,
00:20:53.360
when the money was being borrowed, inflation is always soon to follow. I mean, when you add
00:20:58.140
printed currency into the monetary supply, the purchasing power of it's going to decline. But
00:21:03.040
again, precious metals have long been known as such a hedge. Are there any other financial
00:21:09.480
institutions using precious metals as a means to protect against that sort of thing?
00:21:13.860
As far as I know, no financial institution in Canada holds gold and silver on their balance
00:21:19.800
sheet. And as far as I know, there are some out there that help protect individuals, but
00:21:28.120
the thing is we're really leaning into it and so we're using a lot of our partnerships to get
00:21:33.420
wholesale purchasing of gold and silver so we can actually extend that to our membership we
00:21:39.380
recently launched gold collateral lending so you can actually lend against your gold and silver so
00:21:45.440
if you have say ten thousand dollars in gold or silver uh oops your furnace blows up you can
00:21:51.160
actually lend against that without selling it and it works like a heloc or home equity line of
00:21:56.700
credit so you can get access to fiat currency so canadian dollars without actually selling your
00:22:03.420
gold and silver so that's effectively what you want to try and do is hold on to as much gold
00:22:08.920
and silver for as long as you can and um the thing is i always have to encourage people don't go
00:22:16.240
overboard don't ever spend every single red cent buying gold and silver or bitcoin that's not what
00:22:22.100
it's designed to do but have a little bit in your portfolio and a little bit will go a long way
00:22:26.680
Yeah, and you guys are buying actual physical precious metals, like you're not just
00:22:31.800
something on a balance sheet or an investment fund or something like that. You're actually
00:22:36.040
purchasing the physical gold and silver. Correct, yeah. So there's a big theory out
00:22:43.240
there that for every ounce of physical gold or silver, there's 100 contracts for that piece of
00:22:50.680
gold and silver. So if you got sold a piece of paper that said you're entitled to one piece of
00:22:58.640
gold or something like that, if push came to shove, if everybody came to that counter at the
00:23:04.180
same time and wanted that piece of gold, there would also be 99 other people in that line
00:23:10.060
to basically vie for that piece of gold. So it's important that you own physical gold and silver,
00:23:17.020
or just not paper contracts or EFTs or some other rendition of actual physical gold and silver.
00:23:25.120
So you guys have been kind of shaking the establishments a little bit, though,
00:23:29.900
I saw quite a hit piece, actually, in the Toronto Globe about you guys and your efforts.
00:23:35.880
But, I mean, it was kind of a ridiculous piece when you read it,
00:23:39.560
but they just couldn't seem to explain why they were upset, but they were upset.
00:23:43.100
Yeah, it's hard to know what happened there. And I think it was a conjunction with a number
00:23:49.940
of other things that we did. We were involved with bringing Tucker Carlson to Alberta. The
00:23:57.200
left generally has a big problem with that. And we're looking for something to grab onto. But
00:24:03.020
the funny thing is, is anybody that's in this world that recognizes that inflation is out of
00:24:08.360
control and that these governments are out of control. We're right on point with what we're
00:24:13.940
saying. And it's pretty hard to argue with the fact that your grocery prices have doubled in
00:24:19.240
the last three years, that housing prices have basically doubled in the last three years.
00:24:26.160
More and more, the youth of society are disenchantized with the way the direction is
00:24:32.320
going because they can't get high enough paying jobs to actually get into the housing market. So
00:24:37.200
we're actually in a phase of what's called a K-shaped recovery. So the rich continue to get
00:24:43.080
richer and the poor continue to get poorer. And that line of who's rich and poor continues to
00:24:50.300
thin out every day. And so it's turning into be the ultra rich are the ones that are doing
00:24:55.500
successful and the ultra poor are just continue going down and more and more people are falling
00:25:01.160
out of the middle class. And that's exactly what we're trying to protect against is get people
0.99
00:25:06.600
getting into that trap of a debt cycle falling into living paycheck to paycheck having no assets
00:25:13.160
and basically being beholden to somebody else uh like uh the left-leaning politicians for everything
00:25:19.640
that they uh uh have in life yeah well your messaging and your product have been well
00:25:24.760
received your your credit union's been opening new branches and expanding quite quickly which
00:25:30.120
is fantastic to see a question i hadn't even thought of though as i get on to where where
00:25:34.840
your services are available. From one of the commenters, she's in Ontario though, she's
00:25:39.660
wishing there was a Bow Valley credit union there, but asking if another province or a resident of
00:25:44.200
another province could have an account in your credit union. Is it just for Albertans at this
00:25:48.780
point? For the most part, it is just for Alberta individuals and businesses. If you do have sort
00:25:55.140
of a family member that you could be a co-signer on account for, that's a way into it. Or if you
00:26:00.420
have a corporate uh corporation that's registered within uh alberta that's that's a way to deal deal
00:26:06.980
with it uh but but unfortunately because of our regulations we are aberta bound and and we intend
00:26:13.220
to keep it that way because the thing is we do not want to be regulated federally oh i understand that
00:26:18.900
so sorry denise what you're gonna have to do is move to alberta and hey conservatives are welcome
00:26:23.540
to come on out and uh you know just share the wealth out here so uh where are your branches
00:26:30.180
currently and then where are you guys looking to expand so currently uh our branches are in Banff
00:26:35.860
Canmore our head office is in Cochrane we have two branches in Airdrie one in Calgary and our newest
00:26:42.180
branch that we opened just at the beginning of May is in Atchison which is just west of Edmonton
00:26:47.140
We plan on opening a branch in Red Deer by November 1st of 2024.
00:26:54.100
And then shortly after that, we're going to have a location open in South Calgary as well.
00:26:59.380
So we continue to open branches because we recognize that people want bricks and mortar.
00:27:05.240
People actually want to talk to other people when they're doing their banking.
00:27:13.180
They don't want to talk to somebody in Bangladesh.
1.00
00:27:14.940
They want to talk to a person right across the desk so they can look at them eye to eye
1.00
00:27:19.700
and understand where their life savings are going.
00:27:22.180
Made in Alberta and for Albertans, you know, I have to love that and obviously a lot of
00:27:28.440
Before I let you get back to that Bitcoin rodeo then, what more would you like to add
00:27:34.940
I mean, you offer banking services like any other.
00:27:40.300
Yeah, we're a full service financial institution.
00:27:42.400
offer personal banking, business banking, commercial banking, pretty much everything
00:27:48.380
that a bigger financial institution does, we can do as a smaller credit union. We're locally
00:27:56.140
owned by our membership. And to be part of that membership, all you need to do is just go online
00:28:01.700
to bowvalleycu.com and poke around our website a little bit and figure out if we're a financial
00:28:10.900
institution for you right on well thank you for taking the time to come to talk to us i know our
00:28:16.100
audience is appreciated and i'm really looking forward to you guys uh continuing to take the
00:28:20.100
albertan banking world by storm it's really important to have you know somebody in there
00:28:24.660
offering this kind of service you know happy to come out and have uh thank you for inviting me
00:28:29.460
and uh happy stampede right on thanks you too all right so yes that was brett holand ceo of
00:28:35.940
of Bow Valley Credit Union. As he said, Bow Valley CU, you can get more information on it
00:28:41.540
and follow through. I see I missed that with a comment from Judy and Jim asking when he might
00:28:46.660
be opening in Grand Prairie. I don't know, but Atchison isn't that far away when you get to that
00:28:50.740
point. And at the speed they're going, perhaps it won't be too, too long. And, you know, check out
00:28:56.660
the website. They're very open with communication and where they're going. It's just, you know,
00:29:01.160
this is something you don't see that often. We don't see big changes. You don't see innovation
00:29:05.260
in the financial sector. It's just kind of, well, this is the way it's always been done,
00:29:09.960
and this is the way we do it. That's part of why he's getting the pushback he is, is because,
00:29:14.360
you know, he's shaking up the old establishment. You know, this is an establishment that needs
00:29:20.520
shaking. A lot of what I read, I said in that terrible piece in The Globe,
00:29:26.860
was that, oh, he's, you know, playing on people's fears, that people that don't trust the current
00:29:31.800
financial situation. Well, there's a lot of people that don't trust the current financial situation
00:29:36.260
and investing in an area that would provide a hedge. Why not? Why not offer that option to
00:29:40.720
people? Why do we feel that we have to compel and mash everybody into a model? We've seen a lot of
00:29:45.400
people going broke under the current model. And yeah, they, I believe, you know, he didn't expand
00:29:52.000
on that, but when I saw another one of his presentations, when they decided they were not
00:29:55.820
going to force their staff to become vaccinated, you know, they allowed people to choose as it
00:30:00.420
always should have been everywhere. They lost a couple of board members over that. Like there's
00:30:04.940
always pressures, you know, even people within, but he said, you know, we were better off without
00:30:08.200
them. I love that Frank attitude. The bulk of their board obviously said, well, you know,
00:30:14.320
don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. And they stuck to their principles.
00:30:19.880
I'm certain many of their staff chose to be vaccinated and many chose not to.
00:30:23.680
Welcome to free choice. This shouldn't be that complicated, but seeing businesses in established
00:30:30.140
to industries like that, making stances like that is unfortunately way too rare, but if they'll
00:30:35.900
stand up on principle like that for their staff, and hey, I'm not paid by them, by the way, I'm
00:30:40.220
just excited by what they provide. So honest, we're not getting anything for this, but if they'll
00:30:43.880
stand up for their staff like that, they'll more than likely, it looks like they're going to stand
00:30:47.700
up for you if you're one of their customers or it's a credit union, if you're one of the members.
00:30:52.720
So yeah, I'm glad you came on to talk with us. That was interesting stuff going on. So let's
00:30:58.720
see here. Speaking of, yeah, let's, let's talk about not being able to trust the world of
00:31:03.720
finances, not being able to trust government. You know, Trudeau yet again, talking with Paul
00:31:09.600
Kershaw. Now Paul Kershaw is an activist kook. He's, he's a nutcase. He's a socialist. He,
00:31:15.560
his whole organization out of the university of BC is called generation squeeze. And it's all
0.88
00:31:22.360
focused on basically what he feels is an inequity and unfairness because some people own homes
00:31:28.660
and some don't. And they want a home equity tax. They want to steal the equity from people who own
00:31:34.340
homes and redistribute it to other people. Now, it's fine. There's kooky professors with kooky
00:31:40.080
ideas all over. The problem is Justin Trudeau keeps going to this guy, keeps consulting with
00:31:45.280
this guy, keeps paying him for studies on home equity taxes. He had him at a cabinet retreat
00:31:50.160
speaking to them all on how to set up a home equity tax. They want to steal the money in
00:31:54.920
your homes. They're running out of ways to fund themselves. That's the biggest asset pool in
00:31:58.700
Canada is private homeowners. And here he is yet again, Trudeau giving a private town hall to these
00:32:06.340
guys, one-on-one, a prime minister sitting down. They keep denying they want to steal your home
00:32:10.340
equity. Well, then why are you constantly rubbing shoulders with a man whose whole being is stealing
00:32:15.240
your home equity? Guys, Trudeau's losing his mind, what little he ever had. We're seeing that. We're
00:32:21.120
seeing that with his bizarre dancing, his bizarre actions, that his party, his world is crumbling
00:32:25.320
around him. He's desperate. He's stupid. And I won't put it beyond him with all the fart catchers
00:32:33.180
he's surrounded himself with, that people won't stop him. He will make a desperation grab for
00:32:38.260
home equity, thinking it'll be the way to buy the support of youth back that he lost. And then take
00:32:43.980
that money and maybe do a universal basic income program or something is insane. Is that why else
00:32:49.580
is this man sitting down with Paul Kershaw is this, this man whose whole essence and being
00:32:57.080
is to steal the home equity from people. Be worried guys, be very, very worried.
00:33:04.040
Ah, here's some other stuff over the weekend. So, you know, it's, it's, it's the came to the
00:33:08.800
end of pride month. I know people are overwhelmed with pride, everything, pride, this pride, that
00:33:14.800
I never bothered me that much, but it's just, it seems to be overplayed, but whatever.
0.79
00:33:19.580
But some of the stuff that's happening now, pride parades, we saw in Toronto, their pride parade was canceled by Palestinian thugs.
0.82
00:33:27.380
Yeah, a bunch of pro-Hamas sorts and these queers for Palestinians, these fools, stood in the middle of the road.
0.79
00:33:35.540
And Toronto's pride parade was one of the biggest in North America.
00:33:39.940
They were afraid to confront them, so they just shut down the parade.
00:33:48.300
It's, you know, Angry Canadians in Pride Month is now Naked Month.
00:33:52.700
Why are we going to see a bunch of fat middle-aged men dancing around with their little dongs in the nude?
0.91
00:33:57.040
This is not what this whole thing was started for, but whatever.
0.89
00:34:01.160
It's falling apart, and they're letting the extremists, or they've let the extremists take it over.
00:34:06.300
New York, their pride parade disrupted by Palestinian thugs as well, and they let it.
00:34:14.460
Uh, in Syria, a Syrian gang suspected anyways, this was at news in, in Halifax and there's
00:34:21.340
video of that, a bunch of young men who it appears to be, uh, Syrian immigrants, uh,
00:34:26.760
beat a lesbian couple, uh, brutally in Halifax.
0.54
00:34:30.000
And, uh, you know, what are we coming to is, is this pride getting better?
0.95
00:34:36.900
And, you know, sorry, I'll tell something that's been very interesting recently.
00:34:41.400
Jane and I got invited to a house warming for a new couple out in my area. We're in a rural area,
00:34:48.740
you know, outside of the city. Fantastic couple, great hosts. I'm not Mr. Sociable, but Jane's
00:34:53.800
tapped into the community networks and so on. And then these, these, this couple moved to the area
00:34:58.740
and really wanted to get to know the neighbors. They're really outgoing, fun people, fantastic
00:35:02.720
hosts, beautiful couple. It was a great time. They finally kind of mentioned once the wine got
00:35:10.340
flowing a bit though. Why'd you leave Calgary? Been there a long time. I said, well, the community
00:35:15.160
again was getting a little uncomfortable as it was becoming, uh, you know, very overwhelmed with
1.00
00:35:20.700
immigrants. And I found this a little funny because both of the, this couple had come to
1.00
00:35:25.440
Canada from other countries. They're immigrants as well. So, well, you're uncomfortable with
00:35:29.660
immigrants, but you're immigrants yourself. But yes, the point of this is this couple is,
00:35:33.840
is a married couple of men, a beautiful couple. They're fantastic people.
00:35:37.360
But this is the irony of where things have gone. Now they see the immigrants they're speaking of
00:35:44.720
are ones that are not comfortable with married same-sex people and they aren't having the
0.99
00:35:50.360
neighborliness they wanted to have. They don't have the community they wanted to have. They can't
0.98
00:35:53.660
walk down the street hand in hand because a lot of the immigrants are coming from countries where
1.00
00:35:58.020
they throw gay people off buildings and they certainly don't hide their disdain for gay
1.00
00:36:03.900
couples and they certainly wouldn't come to their home for house warmings or invite them to community
00:36:08.280
participation. So they picked up and they moved to a rural area. Now think of how things have changed.
00:36:14.780
It used to be that a lot of LGBTQ people, if they were born in a rural area, often actually had to
00:36:21.900
really stay in the closet because they weren't well treated or well tolerated by rural communities
00:36:27.940
often in the past. And eventually they would gravitate to the cities where they could find
00:36:31.860
community and live comfortably. That was part of the point of pride was bringing it out. So you
00:36:36.540
don't have to hide. You don't have to be in the closet. Now it's come full circle where LGBTQ
00:36:41.600
community members are getting the hell out of the cities because they let the insane activists take
0.99
00:36:46.560
over the cities. They've let the immigrants from countries that are completely intolerant. And we
0.99
00:36:50.800
got to start saying that we got to be blunt about it. Countries that are very intolerant of their
00:36:55.360
community. So they're moving to the country to get away from that. They're moving to rural areas to
00:37:00.380
find the tolerance they can't get in the cities. You know, again,
00:37:04.660
when I'm talking about pendulum swinging, right?
00:37:06.340
When I'm talking about things going full circle,
00:37:09.040
this is where we're at now. The cities are becoming uninhabitable.
00:37:13.240
We've got to start calling some of this out. And I, I, I know,
00:37:18.680
oh yeah, well, there's some Catholics who are pretty gnarly with, with LGBTQ.
1.00
00:37:25.160
but there's certainly a smaller amount than it ever used to be.
00:37:27.560
And there's no Catholic nations throwing gay people off of buildings lately, to my knowledge, nor Hindu, nor Buddhist, nor many, many other nations.
00:37:38.080
It seems to be one particular sector that has a big beef with it.
00:37:41.740
And that's where we're bringing a heck of a lot of folks in from.
1.00
00:37:44.420
I'm not saying we stop, but maybe we start doing some values testing on some of the immigrants we're bringing in too.
1.00
00:37:50.760
I mean, we reduce the volume so we can help people adjust when they get to Canada.
0.97
00:37:55.260
And also, yeah, if they, you know, and I asked on the questionnaire, you know, what's your reaction to this picture of two men holding hands?
00:38:03.140
And they say, I should chop off their head in the name of Allah.
0.80
00:38:05.620
Maybe we should decline their immigration application.
0.98
00:38:08.420
That's just me, but maybe we've gotten a hint that they might not integrate well into the community out here.
00:38:24.680
The bottle has been corked, it's getting untenable and they're moving out.
00:38:28.240
They can't even hold pride parades in the cities anymore and the police aren't intervening.
0.53
00:38:32.200
You know, if it had been a bunch of retread KKK members, you know, they threw some pillowcases
00:38:40.440
on their heads and, you know, their little symbols and started goose stepping around
00:38:45.980
Do you know how fast those guys would have been arrested and hustled off and charged
00:38:52.840
it would have been, your head would spin how fast it would happen. But because it's pro-Palestine
00:38:58.480
people, well now suddenly they're not sure we're in the victimhood hierarchy and woke hierarchy and
00:39:03.200
who we're supposed to intervene and everything else. And finally they just said, well, sorry guys
00:39:06.960
and gals, you're on your own. You know, hey, queers for Palestine, queers for Palestine.
0.99
00:39:11.780
It's absurd. So no, no wonder. Hey, fine. I'm getting better neighbors for it. Great community
1.00
00:39:19.020
minded professionals, but I still feel for the people who can't afford to get out of the cities
00:39:24.320
as they watch this kind of decline. I feel bad for the people too, from the ethnic communities,
00:39:28.560
from the religions, where's the, some of the problematics bunches are coming from. But of
00:39:32.700
course, they're not all like that, but they're starting to get to wear all of that stigma.
00:39:37.560
We've really got to readjust things and we got to start saying again, the emperor has no clothes
00:39:41.600
with some of these things. We're not having this problem with Hindus. We're not having this problem,
00:39:47.480
you know, with many other faiths. So let's start saying, why is there such a problem with this
0.99
00:39:51.940
particular bunch? Or we can just give up and leave the LGBTQ community on their own to be
1.00
00:39:57.780
harassed and pushed around and bullied by, you know, hate groups that will disrupt their events.
00:40:06.160
Can you believe that's happening now after everything we get put through? And this is
00:40:09.820
what's going on now. It's just, it's madness. Speaking of that madness, how is it, you know,
00:40:15.560
working your butt off. How's it with your kids, you're trying to build a future for them. They're
00:40:20.260
going through school. They got a bunch of student loans. They did all the right things. They're in
00:40:23.700
the working world. They're paying their bills. They know that under Trudeau's Canada, thanks
00:40:27.560
to the squeezing of supply, that a house is probably going to take them 20 years to save
00:40:32.680
for. So they're still living with roommates well into their twenties and paying rent on a small
00:40:37.500
shack. Oh, but they're going to get their tax dollars taken away and put towards buying hotels.
00:40:43.620
yeah as Dave mentioned buying hotels to house more immigrants how bad is it gonna have to get
1.00
00:40:52.060
before they finally say maybe we need to slow down it's insane but things are insane right now
0.99
00:40:59.880
Trudeau's out of his mind he really is I mean you know again you see him dancing around he
00:41:04.320
is cloistered himself with it with a bunch of again as I said far catchers that they've shielded
00:41:09.740
him from reality. And he's just marching along. It shows how sick the liberal party, or even maybe
00:41:16.080
I'll call it all Canadian politics all on its own, where this partisanship is so entrenched that just
00:41:21.580
not enough, because they're the only ones who can get up and pull that madman down while he drags
00:41:26.680
this country into the dirt like this. And we're all suffering. New Canadians are suffering because
00:41:31.920
of it. Foreign Canadians, it doesn't matter. And it's such a tragedy because we have such a
1.00
00:41:38.040
fantastic country. We've got the resources. We've got a great culture. We've got a great mix of
00:41:42.840
cultures. It really was coming along well, but we overplayed it. We went too far, but we've got to
00:41:48.500
again, tap the brakes, save what we can. We've got what could be still a great country, but
00:41:54.120
no, instead of accepting that we might have to reduce the amount of migrants we're pouring in,
1.00
00:41:59.240
he's saying, we'll just buy hotels and stick them in there. Great. I wish I could live at the Hyatt.
1.00
00:42:04.080
real here. But you see, here's some of the attitude from the government as well.
00:42:10.620
Government spokespeople must correct Canadians' thinking. This is coming
00:42:14.700
from a report by a treasury report, President Anita Nand. We've got to correct Canadians'
1.00
00:42:21.820
thinking. You see, the problem is we're too stupid. That's what they feel. We're too stupid
0.81
00:42:25.900
to understand just how brilliant the liberals really are. We just need our thinking corrected.
00:42:34.000
We just don't understand how brilliant and great they are.
00:42:36.920
And I think they've drank enough of their own bath water that these goofy liberals are actually believing their own stuff now.
00:42:48.480
Speaking of, you know, the other latest scandals, I'm trying to find out of there.
00:43:01.720
You know, speaking of blowing our money, speaking of our inflation,
00:43:11.020
its $700 million pandemic ventilator program was a waste of money.
00:43:15.220
You know, the rest of us knew that during the pandemic, too,
00:43:16.880
I think, with anybody with common sense, but not the government.
00:43:23.580
It contradicts testimony by then Public Works Minister Anita Annan.
00:43:28.060
those liberals, they just shift them around to different spots. Contradicts testimony. It's a
00:43:34.040
nice way to say she lied. She lied. You know, if we lie to the courts, if we lie in testimony,
00:43:40.420
if we lie in those sorts of things, we get charged. In the liberal government, they get promoted.
00:43:46.960
The corruption, the level with which the government is broken, this country is becoming
00:43:53.720
broken is, is out of control. And, uh, the other one that's not making, I think enough noise right
00:44:01.300
now is, is the scandal with Canadian, uh, you know, the debacle when we evacuated, uh, Afghanistan
00:44:11.300
and, uh, I'm just trying to find the article. I thought I had it here, but you know, so we had
00:44:16.220
the minister in charge of the military, though, at that time, basically directing his friends,
1.00
00:44:25.360
directing Canadian special forces to rescue a bunch of, the term is sick now, it was Sikhs all
00:44:33.540
my life, you know who I mean, that particular group, to rescue them, 200 and some of them,
00:44:39.240
and pull them out of Afghanistan before the Taliban took over. A lot of people should be
00:44:42.860
rescued before the Taliban took over. But the problem is Canada abandoned hundreds and hundreds
00:44:48.180
of interpreters to their fate in Afghanistan. Ones who put literally their families and their lives
00:44:54.600
on the line for the sake of Canadians who were serving in Afghanistan, who were acting as
00:44:59.500
intermediaries, who were acting as translators, who were doing that job knowing that they were
00:45:05.780
putting themselves at dire risk if the Taliban should ever take over again. But the reason they
00:45:09.920
did it was the Canadian everyone promised. They said, don't worry, we will protect you. We'll
00:45:13.880
take care of you. No, they didn't. No, they didn't. Once the crap hit the fan, the Canadians were out
00:45:18.540
of there so fast your head would spin. The dust was flying in clouds. The embassy gone. They were
1.00
00:45:23.820
toast. I mean, there were Afghans desperately, literally clinging to the wings of planes,
1.00
00:45:28.360
trying to get out of there. And then it turns out that we actually sent our special forces
00:45:39.800
In fact, people with no connection to Canada whatsoever, none.
00:45:48.060
to the Liberal Minister of Defence at the time.
00:45:58.180
happened to be donating to his election effort.
00:46:05.720
in the past. There's a shocker, right? When people talk about how dangerous foreign interference in
00:46:10.480
Canadian affairs is, there's a pretty good example of it. But what a shame. What an embarrassment.
00:46:17.160
You know, those people who put in, and Linda Slobodian did a fantastic documentary on it.
00:46:23.060
And there's his name, Sajan. It was the minister. I just, I just didn't want to say the wrong name.
00:46:29.060
But yeah, his six sponsors donated to his riding association during the evacuations.
00:46:35.100
Just coincidentally, they decided, let's toss some money into his riding.
00:46:38.880
So basically, they bought the evacuation of 200 of their pals
00:46:43.140
while Canada was abandoning those who helped them out.
00:46:53.000
And nothing against the people who got evacuated,
00:46:54.660
but you were abandoning the ones you were supposed to be there for.
00:47:05.960
All right, I'm going to be going pretty quickly here, guys.
00:47:13.840
