Western Standard - Junkies aren’t harmless

00:00:00.000 Good day.

00:00:29.820 welcome to the cory morgan show this is the second last day of july but it's only the second day of

00:00:36.220 summer for calgary just a reminder if you want to look and see some fun things look the last two

00:00:40.880 years in a row the weather network every winter puts out a prediction a dire one calgary and

00:00:46.880 southern alberta are in for desert-like conditions drought famine it's going to be awful it's like a

00:00:53.640 biblical plague they've been dead wrong two years in a row we got a wet cold spring and then this

00:00:59.540 year, wet, cold summer. Either way, just want to take that shot at the climate alarmists that

00:01:04.540 they can't even predict five days out. Why do you take any of their crap seriously when they're 0.99

00:01:08.720 trying to guess three months ahead? Either way, we got a good show coming up ahead of us here. 0.98

00:01:13.880 Dan McTeague is going to be on. He's the president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, and I love

00:01:18.700 having him on. It's always a good conversation. He's one of the ones from back in the days when

00:01:22.460 liberals were still somewhat sane. I mean, they were liberals, but the Kretchen liberals were a

00:01:27.360 world different than the liberals we get to enjoy today. And we'll talk about where the direction

00:01:31.720 of the Carney government is going on things. We'll be checking in with Dave on some news updates

00:01:36.200 pretty soon. Lots going on out there. And yeah, let's start. Also, we've got an event coming up

00:01:42.740 and they're going to be asking the question, what is the West's role in Canada? So don't miss this

00:01:48.140 year's Canada's Strong and Free Networking Conference. It's going to be in Calgary September

00:01:52.440 5th and 6th. They got speakers like Tristan Hopper, Lord Conrad Black, Premier Smith, and

00:01:57.960 Preston Manning. There's early bird rates till August 4th. So hey, get out there, reserve your

00:02:03.120 tickets today, save a few bucks. CanadaStrongAndFree.network. Check it out, guys. You can't

00:02:08.820 beat that theme, can you? All right, let's get on with what I'm going to get on about today.

00:02:13.320 Junkies. Yes, junkie. It's a harsh term, and that's what I'm using. It's purposeful because

00:02:17.560 it represents a harsh reality, and I want to tear the sugar coating off of it. People addicted to

00:02:22.780 substances who live on the streets of Canada are putting themselves and other citizens in danger

00:02:26.940 every day. Activists and bureaucrats and politicians dancing around the problem using euphemisms

00:02:32.200 or refusing to acknowledge the harm caused by unchecked addiction are killing people and making

00:02:38.540 the catastrophe worse. I mean, unless the person's blind, they've noticed an explosion in the growth

00:02:43.920 of street people in the last decade. We never used to see the types of street encampments or

00:02:48.200 tent encampments have sprung up all over the place, and we never had to deal with the zombie-like

00:02:52.160 groups of strung out souls congregating at transit facilities and parks, alleys, schoolyards,

00:02:58.200 every corner of the city centers. The vast majority of these people, and this is what we've got to get

00:03:03.020 down to, they're either addicts or suffering from mental health disorders, or both. If we want to

00:03:07.680 help these people, we've got to begin by accepting what their conditions are. Civic politicians and

00:03:12.300 their associated bureaucrats are the worst. They use every term they can to deny reality. People

00:03:17.200 went from being called homeless to unwell to unhoused to my personal favorite, vulnerable

00:03:23.480 people. Well, these vulnerable people stabbed people in two separate incidents at the same

00:03:27.800 LRT station in Calgary last week. These vulnerable people have set brush fires at their encampments

00:03:33.020 and they have propane tanks there. They've also caused spikes in property crimes as they steal 0.74

00:03:38.840 anything they can to feed their addiction and they create a thriving market for organized crime

00:03:44.080 as they consume illicit drugs. Vulnerable people indeed. Look, I don't want to crap on addicts

00:03:48.720 here. The people on the streets need our compassion and they need our help. We have a

00:03:52.600 social obligation to help the folks suffering out there and funds directed towards addiction

00:03:56.300 treatment and expanding long-term mental health facilities or dollars were well spent.

00:04:01.200 We won't be able to help them though if we keep pretending that addiction isn't a problem.

00:04:05.120 him. It was maddening watching Calgary News this week as legacy outlets reported on a vandalism

00:04:10.240 rampage committed by an addict where he did tens of thousands of dollars of damage to cars. 0.99

00:04:15.620 And I watched him get a quote from an idiot advocate for the homeless talking about how 0.99

00:04:19.220 this was an issue caused by high rents. I wish I was making this up. Look, the guy's an addict and 1.00

00:04:23.320 he was nuts. He should be in an institution. He doesn't have a rental problem. The delusional 1.00

00:04:28.580 dolts from the enablement cult have been blaming the explosion of crime and street person populations

00:04:33.440 on everything from capitalism to racism to climate change, all while refusing to admit 1.00

00:04:37.800 it's the damn addiction. A late-stage addict, whether it's fentanyl, meth, heroin, or crack, 1.00

00:04:42.820 isn't capable of finding a job or maintaining a home. They do indeed need to be taken from

00:04:47.960 the streets if they're to be treated, but they aren't in any condition to live within

00:04:51.000 any form of long-term housing unless they've been treated, despite what smooth-brained

00:04:54.880 housing-first activists claim. Another term that should be stricken from all public discourse

00:04:59.860 is social disorder. The proper term is crime, and it's getting out of control. Hatchet attacks,

00:05:06.340 robberies, and fentanyl dealing aren't a disorder issue. They're bloody crimes. Apologists for the

00:05:12.060 havoc they have fostered in the streets through addiction enablement policies often try to blame 0.99

00:05:16.840 citizens by saying it's a perception of unsafety. Really? You know, when people, a senior or a woman 1.00

00:05:22.320 has to run the gauntlet of addicts in various states of frenzy just to get to work, it's more

00:05:26.620 than just a perception of unsafety, and they shouldn't have to deal with it. In Nanaimo,

00:05:30.680 the local government went full enablement ideology and managed to create one of the

00:05:34.240 most dangerous small cities in Canada. While the city has a beautiful backdrop, it has become a

00:05:38.380 dump. Because the fools in city administration felt the risk was only a perception issue, 0.99

00:05:43.060 they allowed an addiction enablement facility to be set up next to their city hall. 1.00

00:05:46.660 Now the imbeciles are calling for a fence to be built around city hall because they're surrounded 0.99

00:05:50.100 by out-of-control addicts, and they feel unsafe. Maybe they just perceive it. Enablement addicts, 1.00

00:05:55.580 advocates blame the deaths of addicts on what they call a toxic supply. They live in a mythical

00:06:01.360 bubble state where they believe that addicts would be just fine if they could just get pure

00:06:04.980 drugs. That's not like those nasty additives the drug dealers put into the supply, which kill

00:06:08.560 people. Look, there's no such thing as a safe supply of meth, fentanyl, heroin, a crack for an

00:06:12.900 addict. Addiction is a progressive condition causing addicts to continue to seek higher doses

00:06:16.960 until they finally overdose and die. Speaking of that, the term's overdose, and even the most pure

00:06:23.000 of drugs will cause it. The sound of sirens are ubiquitous. I don't know why I put those words in

00:06:27.960 my own monologues. They just kill me. In urban areas, as an ambulance constantly respond to

00:06:31.980 overdoses. Meanwhile, people suffer and potentially die waiting emergency services and hospital spaces

00:06:37.400 because they're tied up with addicts. The addiction epidemic is only going to get worse

00:06:40.760 as authorities refuse to acknowledge the realities associated with it. If we do truly care about the

00:06:46.540 addicts, we got to start speaking bluntly about it and deal with it directly, even if it means

00:06:49.800 forcible confinement. It's a complex problem and won't be solved by simplistic souls who

00:06:54.740 haven't the courage to call a junkie a junkie. No serious social problem has ever been solved

00:06:59.320 with Pollyanna attitudes and euphemisms. So take that and put it in your crap pipe. 1.00

00:07:04.060 Smoke it. 0.99

00:07:05.260 How's it going, Dave? 0.99

00:07:06.180 That was a damn good rant. 0.99

00:07:07.700 I was pissed off. 0.99

00:07:08.700 It was ambiguous?

00:07:11.140 Ubiquitous.

00:07:12.200 Ubiquitous.

00:07:12.660 I write that one often, but boy, I don't say it that often.

00:07:14.840 No, I know. It is a weird one.

00:07:16.380 Yeah, I'm not going to write it so much for these monologues.

00:07:18.280 No, that was a good monologue. Well said.

00:07:21.280 But like I said, it just got me going on that newscast. They're talking, oh, well, this is due to lack of rent. The guy's a nut. He's out of control, and you're talking about rent control.

00:07:29.300 And it was good video, and one of the people who suffered was Councillor McLean.

00:07:34.220 Yes.

00:07:34.660 $4,000 damage to his vehicle.

00:07:36.680 For the second time.

00:07:38.960 Hey, I was thinking during your earlier statement, I should have been a meteorologist growing up.

00:07:43.980 Yeah.

00:07:44.220 You know, you don't have to be right. You really don't have to do anything.

00:07:47.820 you look out the window you know oh it's going to be sunny yeah how do you get a job how do you keep

00:07:55.100 a job when you're wrong most of the time well you can see that or become an elected official yeah

00:08:00.620 i suppose six one half done as the other so your face isn't covered with the horrible boils so i

00:08:06.460 assume the uh the uh honeybee milking went okay on the weekend it did yes uh yeah we got a pretty

00:08:12.460 good crop there and i managed to suit up correctly last year yeah i got four stings for my troubles

00:08:16.460 in one session but uh no i went sting free and then got a hell of a lot of honey so are we talking

00:08:21.740 gallons i mean i i don't know so we got about seven gallons oh that's good yeah and the bees

00:08:27.420 don't get angry that you're taking on you oh they get right pissed but i get suited up

00:08:32.700 the stings when i can and uh no it went really well uh actually that's one thing with all this

00:08:38.140 rain the flowers and everything out there in the foothills where i am or something else so during

00:08:42.220 in the dry days, the bees are quite happy

00:08:44.140 until I come in and try and steal their honey. 0.55

00:08:46.180 And do they start making it again the next day, or do they

00:08:48.280 sort of go on strike? They're right back at

00:08:50.400 it, you know. They're

00:08:51.360 good little winged slaves for me. 1.00

00:08:54.340 How many harvests do you do a year?

00:08:56.080 Well, I did a little one in spring just to get some

00:08:58.020 rolling. Typically, I would

00:09:00.280 do two, though. I'm going to do one more probably in three weeks.

00:09:02.200 Nice. I look forward to the

00:09:03.940 honey lip balm

00:09:06.120 you're going to bring in. Yeah, I keep forgetting, too. I've got to bring

00:09:08.120 a bunch of that in. Okay.

00:09:09.980 It's coming.

00:09:10.500 Yeah, another fun day in the news. We survived the tsunami. That was good fun last night.

00:09:20.180 Top story at the moment is the electoral officer in Alberta has officially,

00:09:25.300 whatever he does, released or declared the first petition, which I think if you remember was filed 0.94

00:09:31.300 by that lunatic 0.90

00:09:33.540 Fabio. Fabio. 0.99

00:09:35.860 Thomas Lukasik.

00:09:38.120 And there was a sort

00:09:39.500 of stay in Canada petition. Do you vote

00:09:41.520 for Alberta to stay in Canada?

00:09:43.480 So that's official. They can now

00:09:45.460 go out and collect signatures. I think they need

00:09:47.560 $293,000.

00:09:50.120 Wasn't it higher for

00:09:51.400 Fabio's because he filed before the

00:09:53.200 change? Oh yeah, that's right. $295,000 is higher

00:09:55.400 in his case, yes. So that's him knocking

00:09:57.320 on a lot of doors.

00:09:58.940 He's known for assailing seniors when he goes

00:10:01.180 Exactly. So, yeah, residents of Edmonton, you might want to secure your doors and make sure it's not him knocking.

00:10:09.800 The Liberals are apparently hosting a cabinet meeting today virtually to discuss recognizing Palestine as a state.

00:10:18.160 Right. So overseas virtue signaling.

00:10:21.800 Yeah. You know, you got to reward those Hamas terrorists. 0.78

00:10:25.220 Sure. And it just tells those countries if you slaughter and rape enough people, Liberal countries will give you your own state. 0.99

00:10:31.180 So they only killed about 1,100, 1,200. 0.95

00:10:33.960 I mean, come on.

00:10:35.160 Worst day since the Holocaust? 0.97

00:10:36.860 Dropping the bucket.

00:10:37.840 Well, you know, France was the first to capitulate, which they usually do.

00:10:42.860 And then England, so Great Britain followed yesterday.

00:10:46.640 So there is a sort of motion going that way.

00:10:50.980 But, of course, Donald Trump will come along.

00:10:53.240 And as he already says, no, not a chance.

00:10:55.880 Yeah, there's, you know, again, many things I take issue with Trump on,

00:10:59.020 but at least on that one. 0.98

00:10:59.760 I mean, they've got the veto authority at the U.N., so Canada and France can prance around and do whatever stupid virtues they like. 0.97

00:11:05.820 They're not going to get declared by the U.N. anyways. 0.99

00:11:08.660 No, no.

00:11:09.660 So it's a fun game.

00:11:11.240 Some emotional scenes in Birmingham, England today as Ozzy Osbourne did his final tour of the city, casket with his family.

00:11:20.040 Sharon and the kids walking behind, crying, tens of thousands of people lining the street there.

00:11:26.100 A good story from our friends at Black Locks Reporter.

00:11:30.460 They've discovered 22 foreign diplomats, Canadian diplomats, have been fired for criminal activity like, you know, inflating their, you know, taking bribes and stealing stuff and all that sort of stuff.

00:11:43.600 So I'm not a lawyer.

00:11:45.520 But usually, doesn't it work when you commit criminal activity, you get charged with a crime?

00:11:49.720 Well, that is normally the case, but none of these cases have been sent to the police.

00:11:54.700 Oh, well, I imagine they probably got a severance package.

00:11:59.140 They probably did get a severance package, but Global Affairs is working very hard to recover the lost and stolen funds.

00:12:06.900 Oh, yeah. I'll certainly hold my breath on not seeing that.

00:12:10.460 That'll work.

00:12:13.000 And Friday's the big day, the big deadline day for tariffs.

00:12:18.460 Trump has said, came out today, say no extension, no extension for Canada.

00:12:23.540 And I get the sense he's going to hammer us on Friday.

00:12:26.860 Probably, but you never know.

00:12:28.140 Almost up.

00:12:28.980 Yeah, almost up.

00:12:30.420 I mean, this is what he likes doing, though,

00:12:31.540 is waiting until 11.59 on Thursday.

00:12:35.060 You know, maybe we'll give it a month.

00:12:36.520 I mean, I don't know.

00:12:37.420 Neither would surprise me.

00:12:38.640 I get the sense he's upset with us.

00:12:40.660 Well, he's always upset with us.

00:12:41.880 Yeah, and I think, you know,

00:12:44.480 he put some softwood lumber tariffs on this week, I think 26%.

00:12:48.120 So I think the hammer's going to fall on Friday, but we shall see.

00:12:51.900 I can be wrong occasionally.

00:12:55.060 Well, yeah, I mean, you know, trying to predict what Trump might do is a tough game at the best.

00:13:00.480 I mean, better make some football predictions if you can figure out what he's going to be up to.

00:13:04.380 Well, you missed out on the big celebrity news.

00:13:06.440 We might have a new celebrity company.

00:13:08.760 Oh, yes, wasn't that exciting?

00:13:10.520 Wasn't that exciting?

00:13:11.720 Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau.

00:13:14.680 Oh, there's a meeting of the minds.

00:13:16.080 Yes, yeah, spotted she was having a concert in Montreal.

00:13:20.900 and spotted having dinner, and then they went for drinks on a terrorist.

00:13:26.220 So, you know, she's newly divorced from Orlando Bloom,

00:13:30.640 and he's been separated a while now from Sophie.

00:13:34.780 So who knows?

00:13:36.040 Stranger things have happened.

00:13:37.620 As long as they don't reproduce.

00:13:40.320 Otherwise, he's single.

00:13:41.400 He's gone.

00:13:41.700 Go ahead.

00:13:42.220 Go with Katie. 0.86

00:13:42.880 Do your thing.

00:13:43.840 Yeah.

00:13:44.040 Well, I think probably Katie was driving around Canada

00:13:47.520 and saw all those F Trudeau signs.

00:13:50.480 No.

00:13:51.020 And then she thought, okay, I'll give it a go.

00:13:52.580 Well, then if Orlando ever meets Trudeau, he can use that classic old line, how do I taste?

00:13:58.360 Yes, yes.

00:13:59.820 I guess you can get us some CRTC complaints.

00:14:01.460 There you go.

00:14:02.340 That one's on you, buddy.

00:14:04.040 Right.

00:14:04.900 All right, well, I'll leave it on that vile note and let you get back to the newsroom.

00:14:08.480 Thank you, sir.

00:14:09.300 All right.

00:14:09.760 Have a great show.

00:14:10.520 Yeah, thank you.

00:14:12.000 That is our news editor, Dave Naylor.

00:14:14.760 And, oh, there's Dave behind me with his lunch right on cue.

00:14:17.420 Oh, no, he's just opening his laptop today.

00:14:19.200 Either way, the reason we have all that news going, all that coverage, guys, is because you guys have been subscribing.

00:14:25.660 We don't take tax dollars.

00:14:27.260 We are independent, just like Blacks Locks Reporter, who was just mentioned recently.

00:14:32.440 So get on there, guys.

00:14:34.000 $10 a month, $100 for a year.

00:14:37.600 Come on.

00:14:37.880 It's just like an old newspaper subscription.

00:14:39.440 It keeps us rolling, keeps us staffed, keeps these shows on the go.

00:14:42.960 So if you haven't got a subscription yet, get on there.

00:14:45.740 And if you already have, really, thank you.

00:14:47.100 I do, do appreciate it.

00:14:49.200 All right. What do we got looking in the comments? Just much of the same. Good to see you all

00:14:54.320 checking in. This is, you know, for those watching it live, use that chat with things,

00:14:58.040 keep things civil. That's all. I am going to have Mr. McTeague on, but it's going to be at

00:15:02.040 1230 to do timing with things. So I'll do my rambling on things until then. The schedule's

00:15:09.220 a little different today. So in Alberta, the independence movement, the petitioning,

00:15:13.680 the stuff going on, there's a lot happening. So yeah, they've given a full approval from

00:15:18.240 the election's chief electoral officer in Alberta to Thomas Lukasik's stupid petition put forth. 1.00

00:15:26.260 And I say stupid in that it's petitioning to hold a referendum about nothing. It's to have a 1.00

00:15:34.860 referendum just saying, yes, we love Canada. Well, good for you. But nothing will change. Nothing

00:15:40.300 will change. Either way, you vote on that referendum. Why use the electoral system to

00:15:43.820 have what's essentially a poll, but it doesn't matter. That is what the electoral officer has

00:15:51.200 felt is fit to potentially put forth for referendum. I doubt Lukasik is going to really

00:15:56.800 get, because it's really about nothing, the, as Dave said, close to 300,000 signatures that are

00:16:02.420 going to be required to get that on a ballot for a referendum. And I keep reminding people of that.

00:16:07.300 If they think it's that easy to get something into a referendum, this is a real petition,

00:16:12.380 a real one, on paper, witnessed, name, phone number, address, signature, and the address has

00:16:19.540 to be the home address. You can't use a mailing address. Hundreds of thousands of them, and he

00:16:23.720 has 90 days to get them. Very, very unlikely. Now, the one put forth, though, by the Alberta

00:16:29.500 Prosperity Project is a whole different ball of wax. That one is saying, do you want Alberta to

00:16:36.000 become a complete sovereign state and leave Confederation? I'm paraphrasing, but it's a

00:16:40.340 straightforward question. But now the Alberta electoral officer has said, we've got to put

00:16:47.020 that question to the King's court as a judge to rule on whether or not it's constitutional. Well,

00:16:51.580 hold on a minute. What? Where does that come from? Look, it's a straightforward question asking

00:16:58.240 whether we want to stay or not. It's based on the Clarity Act. The Clarity Act went all the way

00:17:02.700 through the Supreme Court. This has already been settled. You think that now we have to beg the

00:17:10.040 court for permission to ask a question on a referendum, the double standard is starting to

00:17:14.640 get a little blatant there. What's interesting is Premier Smith and her justice minister have

00:17:18.660 already spoken up to the electoral officers and, hey, cut that out. That's not where this needs

00:17:23.080 to go. You're there to administer the votes in the elections, not to determine those sorts of

00:17:29.760 things. Or I guess he's saying it's not his role to determine those sorts of things. That's why he

00:17:32.520 feels he has to put it to the court. We can't hold referendums, and it's fair enough on things

00:17:38.400 according to the legislation, on anything that would violate the Constitution. If we wanted to

00:17:45.420 hold, or the Charter for that matter, if we wanted to hold a referendum to, I don't know, make LGBTQ

00:17:53.360 marriage illegal again, that would be a clear violation of the Charter and it wouldn't be able 0.55

00:18:00.040 to go to a question. That's fair enough. But this other one has already been covered. No, they're

00:18:03.180 just dragging their heels. So they give the permission to a completely unserious question

00:18:08.980 like Thomas Lukasik's question. And now they're going to try and drag it through the courts

00:18:14.020 with the legitimate question. And I mean, most Albertans don't want to go at this point.

00:18:23.240 I like to think that's going to change, but that's where it's got to be put to the voters.

00:18:28.460 That's the only way to go. But to refuse to give or drag your heels or mess with the process,

00:18:34.440 do you think, guys, that that's really going to reduce the independence movement, set it back?

00:18:40.540 Is it going to cut away at the frustration? You know, if you take away the democratic means and

00:18:46.840 ability for people to get things done, that's what ends up leading to non-democratic efforts. 0.83

00:18:52.480 No, I'm not saying it is a threat before some clown goes on along that. I'm just saying

00:18:56.320 you can't cork the bottle and think the issue is going to go away. In fact, the best thing,

00:19:02.500 it's funny, I give him credit because wherever he is, he's not stupid. And I had an NSHE. When 0.98

00:19:07.900 this really first came about, what he did was daring Smith saying, put it to a referendum

00:19:12.180 right now. Let's do it right away. Let's get it ready to put it on the question next month.

00:19:16.240 Because he knew that it wouldn't win. If you want to shut down the movement,

00:19:19.320 hold a referendum and have it lose. And that indeed would put a ice on it for some years.

00:19:29.300 But to try and say, oh, we're going to drag it out for what is it going to be now? Months, years,

00:19:34.220 weeks, whatever it is to go through the courts for us to get permission to ask the question,

00:19:38.920 that is not going to reduce the movement. That's going to build more mistrust in the Federation

00:19:44.320 and only make the movement stronger.

00:19:47.260 Speaking of our charter and constitution 1.00

00:19:49.040 and stupidity in judges, 1.00

00:19:50.500 because they all kind of get bundled together quite often. 1.00

00:19:53.520 A judge in Ontario just ruled today

00:19:55.520 that bike lanes are a constitutional right.

00:20:01.860 Apparently, you know, 1.00

00:20:02.880 this is how stupid the interpretation 1.00

00:20:05.520 of our constitution and charter starts to get. 1.00

00:20:08.720 This is where I really start to question the judiciary

00:20:11.300 and just our entire system.

00:20:13.600 It really did. I mean, so the battle's been going on. Look, ridiculous anti-automotive

00:20:21.520 ideological nutcases have taken over city halls across the country. And one of their favorite 0.99

00:20:27.940 ways to screw with cars is sticking a bunch of stupid bike lanes in to choke up the traffic. 1.00

00:20:34.200 But, you know, the way to deal with them, again, I actually wrote a monologue. I put a column on 0.99

00:20:40.140 that. I think voters should just wake up and start firing these idiots. You know, Chow in Toronto, 1.00

00:20:45.540 Gondek in Calgary, Sohee in Edmonton. Instead, we've got battles going on in Alberta with Devin

00:20:52.320 Dreeshan, our transportation minister, battling. I think he's meeting with Gondek today on that.

00:20:57.480 Well, bike lanes in Calgary because it's interfering with traffic. So is it a provincial

00:21:01.020 thing where transportation and traffic is their authority or is it city thing because it's city

00:21:05.560 streets? I don't know. They're going to fight it out. I think if we just start firing those

00:21:09.520 hammerheads in civic elections, we wouldn't have to deal with it. But either way, in Toronto,

00:21:14.300 the bike lanes have gotten so stupid, and they are stupid, and they're underutilized, 1.00

00:21:18.340 and they're seasonal. We aren't Amsterdam clowns. But Ford has taken that as something to take on, 1.00

00:21:27.520 and he was talking about forcing the city to remove bike lanes. So it got taken to the courts,

00:21:32.860 because there's existing bike lanes he wanted to get rid of. It went to Ontario courts,

00:21:36.700 and they ruled that it would violate the constitution to remove them. 0.95

00:21:41.620 What sort of ridiculous mental twisting did this judge have to take 0.88

00:21:48.820 to determine a bike lane is a constitutional right? 0.97

00:21:54.680 I mean, Kenzie Crack and a comment are saying,

00:21:56.360 yeah, banking needs to be a constitutional right for these days.

00:21:59.440 You know, these selective rights that we get given

00:22:02.720 in this increasingly authoritarian state

00:22:05.160 where a chip got debanked. Yeah. Royal bank shut down her accounts. She has to move them 0.88

00:22:11.180 because she played with the wrong crowd because she was a lawyer who represented freedom minded

00:22:18.660 people. I mean, you know, banks, unfortunately are something I consider a necessary evil in life.

00:22:26.680 You can't get through modern life without a bank. You have to deal with them. Kind of like

00:22:31.160 insurance companies. I don't care for dealing with them. I can't stand them. You always feel

00:22:34.420 like you're a supplicant, even though you're the customer. But because it's a necessity for you,

00:22:40.540 yeah, there should be quite some stringent rules about what it'll take before being debanked. And

00:22:44.780 there should, of course, never be an occasion where the government can reach into your accounts

00:22:48.000 and steal it. But that very thing happened within Canada. Our courts don't seem to worry about those

00:22:52.520 constitutional rights, those abilities, those freedoms. But they have found that bike lanes

00:22:59.760 are constitutional right. When I say online, it gets a lot of people all upset and whining. When

00:23:04.180 I say Canada is broken. This is why I say it, guys. It's broken. It's stupid. Speaking of my

00:23:10.820 personal news, I might as well talk about it. That was covered in the Western Standard News a while

00:23:15.400 back. You know, I'm dealing with those charges that came because I shot a video on the Siksika

00:23:19.600 Reserve in Alberta. And yeah, I'm fighting it. I'm fighting on my charter rights for free movement

00:23:26.060 and free press. My court date's been set for the first court date on that anyways, October 16th.

00:23:32.300 maybe that'll probably, you know, you see, I would say normally that would be thrown out of court 1.00

00:23:36.000 because it's a stupid charge and their own law is stupid. And you don't need to be a lawyer to 1.00

00:23:40.340 realize that. It's just the local chief and counsel pretty upset that I showed that a First Nations

00:23:45.740 ban that got $1.2 billion from Justin Trudeau has everybody living in shacks and garbage for some

00:23:51.620 reason. So people are kind of wondering where the money went. So rather than answer the question,

00:23:57.620 they've charged me with trespassing for daring to drive on a public highway. And it was a highway,

00:24:01.620 guys, and shoot video of the conditions on that reserve. So yeah, now I would have said with

00:24:09.800 confidence that a judge will look at this and say, this is ridiculous. You guys can't do this. It's a 0.98

00:24:13.740 public highway. Get over it. But then this is a world where judges consider my claims to be a

00:24:20.940 constitutional right. So I kind of lose a little bit of confidence in where things might go with

00:24:25.460 that. It gets a little frightening. Speaking of free speech, free expression, here's the other

00:24:30.560 right that uh christian worship band uh fella whatever sean foight uh whatever his name might

00:24:38.560 be he's been chased all over the place right uh chased out of a national park in the east coast

00:24:43.760 now winnipeg has uh refused to let him have a concert it looks like and montreal a church got

00:24:49.360 fined for having him perform inside it could you really imagine say if a performance was banned

00:24:56.240 in a mosque. And the mosque got fined. Of course not. They wouldn't touch that with a 10-foot pole.

00:25:03.020 But the church got fined thousands for hosting this guy in Montreal, a private facility.

00:25:09.500 Fined for hosting a Christian guy. Look, it's not my sort of thing. I wouldn't go to one of these, 1.00

00:25:15.120 but that's the thing. I choose not to. It's not that hard. This should fall under free expression.

00:25:22.060 This should fall under free speech. This is the sort of thing that are charter and constitutional

00:25:25.720 rights. Yet nobody seems to be standing up in our courts for this man's rights or the people who

00:25:31.020 want to see him or want to listen to him. This country is getting so ass backwards, guys. 0.85

00:25:36.300 It's frightening. But I believe he's going to be, this will be where the fun starts to really get

00:25:43.480 going. He's going to be performing in Alberta, I think, on provincial property. And of course,

00:25:47.840 the NDP is doing cartwheels and jumping up and down very upset with it. Oh, too bad. But we'll

00:25:53.320 So we kind of nutcase protesters or whatever else comes about from that.

00:25:58.420 We really just, we've got to get what our rights are

00:26:01.840 and our responsibilities are and get that sorted out.

00:26:04.600 And I don't have faith that our current system can do so

00:26:06.760 when we look at these things.

00:26:08.720 That news story that Dave talked about.

00:26:11.860 So 22 diplomats committing crimes.

00:26:15.780 They're not named.

00:26:17.540 They got fired.

00:26:18.600 Being government employees, government appointees,

00:26:20.940 they probably, um, probably did get big severance packages. The rest of us in the real world,

00:26:28.640 you do something like that, you get criminally charged. In Canada, it gets covered up. Speaking

00:26:34.560 of us getting robbed, uh, yeah, just another comment. Just to mention a commenter, Joe Mills

00:26:41.160 pointed out, well, you know where some of that 1.2 billion is going? It's going to lawyers.

00:26:44.400 Yeah, there is. It's called the Indian industry. There's a lot of people who make a heck of a lot

00:26:49.300 of money out of the perpetual court challenges from the reserves one way or another, up and down

00:26:54.040 all left, right, and center. And they're just bleeding it. And, you know, my little case is

00:26:59.920 another example of it. So let's talk about other big bloated institutions robbing Canadians, the

00:27:04.620 CBC. Yeah, you know, the state broadcaster, they get their, what, 1.3, 1.4 billion a year.

00:27:12.440 Their market share during the news on evenings is down to like less than 3%. Yeah, 97% of Canadians

00:27:18.820 don't watch their crap, but 100% of Canadians get to pay for it. Well, it turns out they have 1.00

00:27:23.660 almost 1,500 employees making six figures. Yeah, not a typo. 1,500 CBC employees making six figures

00:27:33.340 to make broadcasts that nobody watches. There's where your money's going, guys. I'm sure they

00:27:39.700 got some great severance packages as well. And of course, the bias at the CBC is just outrageous.

00:27:47.380 We've seen that recently with that CBC anchor who quit.

00:27:51.340 We've seen a few of them over the years who've left and they've exposed it and said, yes, this is an ideological state broadcaster that is there to create a narrative, not report on things.

00:28:01.680 If we must, we don't need one, but if we must have a state broadcaster, if we must have a tax funded broadcaster, it should be the most unbiased one possible.

00:28:17.060 And it's not.

00:28:18.040 It's the worst.

00:28:19.280 CTV is working hard to come in on a close second.

00:28:22.260 But CBC is just brutal.

00:28:25.120 And yeah, 1,500 of them are making six-figure salaries.

00:28:28.400 For what?

00:28:28.800 What are you guys doing?

00:28:30.200 Because nobody's watching.

00:28:34.080 You know, we didn't get out of that in the election.

00:28:37.040 Eastern Canada said, no, we love the Liberals.

00:28:38.540 We're going to keep them. 0.97

00:28:40.260 Yeah, you know, in the Western Standard,

00:28:42.160 there's a recent story from Jaime Rubenstein on that

00:28:44.400 with the First Nations and kind of bouncing back to that one again. It starts out with this column

00:28:48.360 saying, if you want to understand who's benefited the most from Canada's residential school reckoning,

00:28:51.580 look not to the survivors, but the lawyers, the consultants in the Indian industry. And

00:28:56.460 I mean, the numbers, the final bill for just the latest, because it never gets settled, right?

00:29:02.040 These guys love keeping on that hamster wheel of settlements. 3.23 billion. And it's still growing.

00:29:08.340 It's still going. And guess what? Let's look at that. What was it? 150,000 kids attended the

00:29:15.180 residential schools over the course of a hundred and some years. Yet you listen to the interviews

00:29:21.920 and everything because everybody can self-identify and guess what? Every First Nations person you

00:29:25.760 talk to says they had an uncle who went to a residential school and they deserve compensation 0.98

00:29:29.660 and they've all gotten it. But it's not enough. They need more and more and more. It's an industry

00:29:35.400 unto itself? And is it making anything better? That's a lot of what I did with the video. That's

00:29:40.540 what I go on with my rants. If it was working to make things better, I wouldn't be as upset.

00:29:46.560 But it isn't working. The housing is still atrocious. Their health is still atrocious.

00:29:53.840 The statistic I bring up most often on that is that one that came up in Alberta,

00:29:59.580 where First Nations men die on average 19 years younger than your average person.

00:30:07.660 This should make international news.

00:30:10.460 That's a quarter of a person's life gone on average.

00:30:16.300 And you're trying to pretend and tell me the system is working,

00:30:19.280 decades of pouring money in, of platitudes, of self-government, all these programs,

00:30:25.520 and it's getting worse.

00:30:27.500 They're dying younger.

00:30:28.660 They're living in squalor. That's why they got so upset when I showed the imagery of those houses

00:30:34.180 because that reserve got more than even the other ones got. The crime is through the roof. Their

00:30:39.000 education levels are atrociously low. Where's the end? Who can point at this and say it's working

00:30:49.100 and that this path is reasonable? It's not. So somebody's got to call it out. And we do.

00:30:57.320 I enjoy calling it out.

00:31:00.280 But all right, I'm going to get on to somebody else I see here in the lobby there.

00:31:04.440 He enjoys calling things out and how they are as well.

00:31:07.000 And that's Dan McTeague, the president of Canadians for Affordable Energy.

00:31:11.140 Hey, Dan, how are you doing?

00:31:12.240 I'm doing great.

00:31:13.420 Happy midsummer days to you here, Corey, and lots to talk about.

00:31:17.780 Yes, there certainly is.

00:31:18.980 You guys have got some hot weather going on out there.

00:31:21.280 We're just finally warming up.

00:31:22.420 So let's have a tax so I can bring down the temperature a few degrees. 0.76

00:31:28.700 Why not?

00:31:29.080 Yeah, that's right.

00:31:30.580 I mean, I thought maybe that's what it is.

00:31:32.280 We lost the carbon tax and now we don't have uniformity and weather anymore.

00:31:35.680 There you go.

00:31:36.740 So, you know, there's so much to cover, I guess.

00:31:41.120 What I kind of want to speak of from our view, though, and this is kind of in your ballpark.

00:31:46.240 We're just hearing a lot of talk from Carney.

00:31:48.740 He speaks the right language.

00:31:50.100 He's saying we're going to get this done.

00:31:52.220 we're going to get a utility corridor, we're going to diversify our markets. But is any of

00:31:56.900 that realistic? Because I'm just seeing that he seems to be throwing it out there, but backing

00:32:00.040 it off as soon as any opposition sort of rises up against it. Well, there's conditionality to

00:32:05.880 everything he's doing. If you want a pipeline, you have to have consensus, which we're not going to

00:32:11.340 get. If you want a pipeline, you have to decarbonize. If you want a pipeline, someone else

00:32:17.820 got to try to pay for it um if you want a pipeline uh you listen we built one and it's great it's

00:32:22.940 wonderful things it's doing great things except it costs us 50 billion bucks thanks to bc and the

00:32:27.100 other uh uh miscreants who spent a lot of time trying to block a pipeline that had the signature

00:32:32.460 of the canadian government on it which isn't worth its weight in gold which is discouraging

00:32:36.380 investments look i think it's come down to a very simple thing um this september uh to use an old

00:32:42.940 shakespearean the place the thing where we'll catch the king he's going to come out and show

00:32:46.780 what he is really once and for all because we have the mark carney that is against fossil fuels

00:32:51.500 against hydrocarbons against the very thing that maintains our standard living in this country

00:32:55.420 like it or not and by the way i'm from toronto i'm not from the west so i know what up i speak

00:32:59.740 and so i think we're gonna have to wait to see what mr carney is prepared to do is the old mark

00:33:03.180 carney or is that somehow he has he reinvented himself i doubt it yeah well i mean some of it

00:33:08.300 i guess kind of showed he's still making the uh the the ban of combustion engine vehicles a hill

00:33:13.500 to die on that recently came up within a year that there's going to be what a 20 sales bar that

00:33:19.700 they have to hit it's just insane you know telling private businesses this is what you have to sell

00:33:25.840 and how much of it or there's going to be consequences you know when trump got elected

00:33:29.580 everybody's worried about tariffs i was more worried about the ev mandate out the door which

00:33:32.940 meant my province had spent a lot of money along with the federal government and basically uh uh

00:33:38.520 you know went wet the pole with respects to uh a lot of money we didn't have to build things that

00:33:43.120 no one wants they can't afford in the united states isn't going to buy why do i know that

00:33:46.360 uh cory before i was a member of parliament back in 1993 i served uh media relations for a tiny

00:33:52.260 little company back then it was number five in canada now it's number one toyota the largest

00:33:56.320 exporter of vehicles into the united states they didn't go for the grift they didn't go for the

00:34:00.960 you know the the flavor of the day with evs they know that uh yeah people for some people

00:34:07.120 over glorified golf carts are a cool thing to have and maybe they're fun and they're you know

00:34:11.520 computers on wheels but for practical reasons and for a cold country like canada uh they don't work

00:34:16.960 and now we don't have a market united states in which to sell batteries and uh uh auto parts much

00:34:23.040 less manufactured uh auto parts and here in ontario our number one sector is the auto sector and it's

00:34:29.360 now imperiled so thanks doug to doug ford and his uh you know kissing up to the federal liberals on 0.98

00:34:34.400 this stupid ev mandate which is really a recipe for disaster for the country and for the province 0.98

00:34:39.360 and uh you know it's not lost i think on people at western canada canola farmers and others have 0.99

00:34:43.840 had to take uh enormous hits in terms of tariffs by china because we're not allowing them to bring 1.00

00:34:49.040 in their cheaper made and uh they they've got a 15-year advantage of building in building evs

00:34:54.000 they know that they can't beat us in terms of internal combustion engines which is where we

00:34:57.920 ought to be going which is where the consumer is going in this country unless they can you know

00:35:01.360 have evs shoved down their throats well and that's where we do get a bit worried out here in the west 0.70

00:35:07.360 I mean, honestly, as much as we're having some regional issues, and I like to take my shots at

00:35:11.120 the voting patterns of Central Canada, I don't want their economy to crater because the more

00:35:15.660 Central Canada's economy craters, the more carny dips into the West's resources to try and pay

00:35:21.420 the bills. I mean, we all do better if our industries are doing well where they are. And

00:35:26.220 it just looks like he's taking a stick to the automotive sector out there. I mean,

00:35:32.220 it could be catastrophic. It will be catastrophic, and they will leave.

00:35:37.360 Toyota, again, being the number one maker of vehicles, isn't really worrying too much about EVs, didn't want to go for the grift.

00:35:45.900 And now we have the mayors of various cities across Canada.

00:35:49.920 Auto city mayor is now writing a letter to the prime minister and to his minister saying EV mandates are going to kill our cities.

00:35:57.580 They're going to kill our industry.

00:35:59.000 So if the liberals want to ignore that, that's fine.

00:36:01.280 They did so with carbon taxes.

00:36:02.740 They've done so with the emissions caps and a bunch of other things. 0.65

00:36:05.260 there's a cost of being foolish and trendy and uh that's going to cost people real jobs and so yeah

00:36:11.720 maybe mark carney thinks it's cool to go you know dip into uh and make the country go put the 0.85

00:36:18.620 country further in debt but i don't think bond rating agencies are going to put up with that

00:36:22.060 nonsense much longer i think we're going to see a significant credit downgrade the likes of which

00:36:26.180 is going to affect even the tony types in downtown parts of this world when they have to renew their

00:36:30.860 mortgages at much higher rates rather than falling down which many had expected and hoped for

00:36:34.920 Well, and people should realize as well then, you know, they don't necessarily watch those sorts of things. When we get those credit downgrades, what the impact is, is our national debt suddenly becomes a heck of a lot more expensive. And we are already, I believe the Taxpayers Federation, Franco always likes to put it, you know, we're losing like a hospital a day worth of money right now on interest payments, essentially, or the interest alone on our national debt is more than the transfers for healthcare going to every province.

00:37:04.260 And if we get our credit downgraded, that's only going to become worse.

00:37:07.900 Well, I know.

00:37:08.400 And if we don't start selling our products to the rest of the world, because we've spent 10 years shutting down the infrastructure that would get our most important and valued 9% to 15% of your GDP, oil and gas.

00:37:19.100 So we can't get those to the market.

00:37:20.160 We're done.

00:37:20.500 Instead, yeah, we can send it to the United States, sell it for $3 a million cubic feet, and then they turn around, LNG it for $15, $16.

00:37:27.760 No wonder Trump made a big deal, but he's doing it on the backs of Canadian resources.

00:37:31.440 I suspect that Canadians are really starting to smarten up finally they are starting to realize 0.88

00:37:36.260 that you have to build pipelines in order to sustain your standard of living because you know

00:37:39.640 what the Germanys the South Koreas the Japans the Greece take your pick Latvia Lithuania are not

00:37:46.280 coming to Canada for our AI or for our vehicles they're coming here for our oil and gas and we're

00:37:50.580 not prepared to give to them they will go somewhere else in the meantime you and I and our children

00:37:55.420 are going to have to be faced and possibly grandchildren with debts we will never be able

00:37:59.060 to repay and why is that a concern in 1997 a young buck mp dan mctaig decided to write a report on

00:38:04.340 gasoline pricing in canada the two people would want to know what the hell was going on john

00:38:08.500 cred say and paul martin they both pulled me aside and said please do not make this about the uh the

00:38:13.220 upstream about the oil and gas sector which of course wasn't it was to deal with the uh problems

00:38:17.380 at the uh at the retail level at the uh refinery level and i asked him why simply because they were

00:38:23.140 we were going to go from 1 million to 2 million barrels uh production and export per day which

00:38:28.020 would get us out of the national debt that we had found ourselves back in the 1990s so

00:38:32.180 make no mistake we want to get out of this morass we're going to sell more oil more gas

00:38:35.700 doesn't matter what mark carney thinks or all the conditions he puts on it he's got a choice either

00:38:40.500 fish he gets involved in doing the bit of the fishing or cut bait as my grandfather used to say

00:38:45.700 do your stuff or get off the pot yeah well and as you said too i mean i hope so you're saying you

00:38:50.340 know canadians seem to be waking up or realizing it or figuring it out seems when people's butts

00:38:53.700 get kicked reality kind of jumps in there and it's going to happen pretty soon but he's going to have

00:38:59.380 to take a dramatic course then it doesn't matter if canadians are ready to go we showed most

00:39:04.020 canadians already support pipelines it's that ideological leadership that has to turn around

00:39:08.420 and say okay we're going to put our foot down exercise our constitutional authority and get

00:39:13.620 this done and he's showing no indication yet anyways that he's willing to do that well he

00:39:18.340 sold people the belief he could actually stand up to donald trump in 36 hours we're going to find out

00:39:23.140 just how much how hollow a uh a promise and commitment that was but he doesn't have much

00:39:27.860 of a choice look i'm in downtown toronto right now there's something called the cne canadian

00:39:32.100 national exhibition been going on for 160 years or something there were 4 000 jobs for yeah part

00:39:37.700 time for two weeks three weeks 55 000 people showed up for 4 000 jobs that's how desperate

00:39:44.420 the situation has become in this country anybody who's still trendy and cool wants to deny and

00:39:48.660 think it's all about climate and that we can spend uh without consequence and give grift and

00:39:53.540 money to every tom dick and harry foundation organization green group out there and someone

00:39:58.700 looking for more money to mooch the game is over the cupboards are bare and we now have to fish

00:40:05.340 or cut bait as i said earlier either you sell more oil get to market uh pronto or you falter

00:40:10.760 as a as a nation financially yeah well and beyond that i mean kind of pivoting back to the

00:40:16.140 the domestic markets for our automotive sectors uh speaking you know of giving a chill to

00:40:21.740 investment or wanting to expand when we've got essentially a ban on conventional vehicles coming

00:40:27.120 10 years away now it's not that long yeah um let's just say for whatever reason all everybody

00:40:32.620 in canada said yes you know what i want to go with it i'm gonna buy an electric car the problem is we

00:40:37.340 also don't have the national infrastructure to do that we don't have the generating capability we

00:40:42.700 don't have the transmission capability we don't have the household capability where is this going

00:40:46.920 to come from it's not going to come and it's not going to come in time but i can tell you on january

00:40:50.820 1st car dealers in every community across this country are going to be worried that if uh one

00:40:55.860 of every five cars they sell isn't ev they're going to get dinged with a twenty thousand dollar

00:41:00.080 per unit uh tax so the liberals are going to tax the daylight set of car dealers so you're a car

00:41:05.340 salesman you think this is kind of cool and nice you know full well at the back of your lot are a

00:41:09.280 of evs that are not selling because people won't buy them unless they get subsidies they won't

00:41:13.440 build infrastructure and thus they get subsidies they won't even build them unless they get

00:41:17.120 subsidies this makes no sense whatsoever including economics but from another perspective

00:41:23.520 if we think we have the money to go spend on on trinkets that a few handful of people in

00:41:27.600 downtown parts of this country think is cool or that uh you know in february and march these

00:41:31.840 things work out well i always say take your iphone take your smartphone put it in the middle of winter

00:41:37.040 in alberta or northern ontario see how long the battery lasts in those kind of conditions same

00:41:41.520 thing for the technology that's there we can wish all the wonderful things we want about electric

00:41:45.520 vehicles they're impractical they're unreliable and unfortunately they're too expensive and for

00:41:50.720 a lot of car dealers and canadians the harsh reality begins in just a few months and if we

00:41:55.360 don't get our act around suspending this ev mandate there's going to be hell to pay and we're going to

00:42:00.400 make a bad situation economically in this country a lot worse i'm a car dealer i'd be very worried

00:42:05.200 the first thing I'd be, if I could, I'd be on the phone to every liberal MP I could get my hands on

00:42:09.980 and tell them to end the madness now. Well, I can imagine and hope some are quietly calling and

00:42:15.840 asking him to end that. But assuming it still goes ahead and comes in, do you think there

00:42:20.660 could be a legal recourse? I mean, this is a government action that's going to drive dealerships

00:42:24.720 out of business. I mean, it's put them into a corner. Yeah. You know, could this go to the

00:42:30.820 courts it could it probably will and it's likely to possibly even trigger what could be an election

00:42:37.400 although i don't think the block really cares but if there's no money to pay for these things and

00:42:41.660 you're going to penalize dealers for not meeting your tony commitment um you know it goes to 100

00:42:46.920 by 2035 that means every year it goes up by 10 how much are you going to beat car dealers who

00:42:52.720 are really trying to struggle to make ends meet how are you going to tell an automotive industry

00:42:56.540 that could very well pack up its bags and decide to go to the united states under the swan song of

00:43:01.740 president trump of giving them incentives to be here and no tariffs wait till we see in one year

00:43:07.500 from now uh the renegotiation of the uh usmca i'm not going to call it kuzma because i think that's

00:43:13.340 kind of trendy and tony and people like to have that version but wait till this happens if you

00:43:17.900 think tariffs are bad you think vehicle ev mandates ending united states are bad wait till we have to

00:43:22.700 to go through renegotiation. If only Canada had not stopped building pipelines and getting our

00:43:30.480 oil to other countries around this world, we wouldn't be in this position. Make no mistake,

00:43:35.160 Canadians voted to weaken their economy and to make Donald Trump that much more of an opportunist.

00:43:40.620 Well, absolutely. I mean, there's no weaker position you could put yourself in

00:43:43.380 as a vendor of anything than to have yourself when you really only have one customer. You are

00:43:47.840 over a barrel and we've been screaming that from the rooftops for 20 years now uh now we're seeing

00:43:53.600 the consequence of it when when you know it's a uh negotiation between the strong and the weak

00:43:59.280 and and we're on the weak side and we can't change that overnight and you know corey i mean i i look

00:44:04.240 at this every day i'm gonna gas prices are gonna go up everywhere across the country one retailers

00:44:07.680 are gonna put back their retail margins on this for the long weekend but you know what uh because

00:44:12.640 of the weak canadian dollar we're not selling any oil we're not selling gas that we used to

00:44:16.640 and there's no one investing the country to buy housing and create the bubble we have you and i

00:44:21.120 are actually paying an extra 24 cents a liter in every uh 24 cents on every liter price of gasoline

00:44:26.400 that is the biggest tax we have and it has a lot to do with the fact that we're not selling to the

00:44:29.760 world that which the world wants they're not coming to us to talk about our hydrogen they're

00:44:33.680 not coming to us to talk about our ai they're coming here because they need our oil and gas

00:44:37.280 because they don't have it and we do it with the best damn specs in the world and for us to say no

00:44:42.160 or to naval gaze or to dither like mark harney is doing we're probably mr dither soon um i think 0.63

00:44:47.840 it's pretty clear uh where this country is going to wind up and we're going to see this in september

00:44:51.600 he either really has to uh uh fisher cut bait as i said earlier he's got to get his act together

00:44:56.320 and he's going to make a decision including a budget which by the way will demonstrate to

00:45:00.720 everybody just how deep and protracted this uh economic malaise is because of how we voted and

00:45:06.320 the people we put in power well that's a pretty bleak picture but i didn't bring you on to give

00:45:10.880 us all you know sunshine and lollipops we just need that reality check if we're going to try

00:45:14.720 and head this off a little bit so uh yeah we've run out of time i know there's a lot more things

00:45:19.520 we could have gone on about but i i love having you on as i said i it harkens me back to when i
