00:02:14.060So if you have any information, anything, you know, there's websites, there's places, there's even calls for volunteers, I guess, to go do some looking.
00:02:26.180My kids are all grown and luckily I had very healthy kids, but I did have an adventurous youngster.
00:02:35.280So my youngest, Raymond, went missing twice, two memorable times in our life.
00:02:40.860and one of them was when we were camping uh we were camping up by dunvegan up in the peace river
00:02:46.860area yeah he was the youngest at the time he was about three or four and his sister uh his oldest
00:02:52.860sister is uh you know seven eight years older than him so 11. the kids were gone went for a walk
00:02:58.860around the campground sarah comes back with nick and patrick and i said like where's your brother
00:03:04.860raymond and sarah kind of looked at me like i don't know i'm like what do you mean you don't
00:03:09.100know he was with you you know and i and i don't blame her i mean it wasn't necessarily it wasn't
00:03:14.220her responsibility to look after raymond but anyways we mobilized everybody in the campground
00:03:18.620to go looking for raymond and eventually we found raymond had wandered down by one of the creeks and
00:03:24.140was you know throwing rocks in the creek but it but you know those those few minutes where
00:03:28.700we were looking for him were frantic and gut-wrenching and uh i can't imagine what's going
00:03:34.860through the minds of of Parker's parents so good luck with that and I hope it comes out with a
00:03:41.020happy ending all right so I listen I'm gonna jump right into it you know the the title of the show
00:03:47.980today Trump slaps more tariffs on Canada we got to talk about that we got to talk about that I
00:03:54.620mean it's it's a it's a year and a half we're in a trade war and we're losing the trade war but
00:04:00.460but I want to go back to, to sort of the beginnings and I want to ask people a question,
00:04:05.380right? Have you ever, you know, have you ever taken something, have you ever received a benefit
00:04:12.140that you didn't pay for? Like, I don't know, have you ever, you know, use somebody else's Wi-Fi?
00:04:18.140You got a neighbor who didn't secure their Wi-Fi and you got to use their Wi-Fi or back in the
00:04:22.100good old days, maybe you lived in an apartment with a, with a bunch of people and you had,
00:04:26.840you know coax splitters and you would split cable uh have you ever gone to work like do you have an
00:04:33.240employer somewhere that provides you with um a plug-in for your car and over the year and you
00:04:40.980bought yourself an electric car now you plug in your car there even though the plug-in was just
00:04:45.980to keep your car warm uh or maybe somebody's taking advantage of you right maybe you know
00:04:51.640maybe you're the person who has a nice boat you had a nice boat at the lake and nobody else has
00:04:56.480a boat at the lake and for years everybody took uh you know jumped on your boat went for rides on
00:05:01.220the boat if you went out water skiing you invited people and you never asked for a dime for that
00:05:06.540boat but you certainly appreciate it if somebody said you know here's 20 bucks for gas for after
00:05:11.760an afternoon of water skiing right so people have been on the receiving end of that or on the giving
00:05:17.880end and and then all of a sudden you know what happens when when the neighbor suddenly says hey
00:05:22.380uh uh i'm not i'm not gonna give i put a password on the wi-fi and then you get upset because your
00:05:29.660neighbor put a password on the wi-fi and you're no longer getting free wi-fi well is that you know
00:05:36.780what what's the situation there well i think the situation there i'm getting to something
00:05:42.620that's what to me that's what happened with the us when donald trump got elected okay so donald
00:05:47.580Trump got elected two years ago and Donald Trump has always said it clearly that he felt in that
00:05:55.980a lot of nations around the world had been taking advantage of the of their goodwill but in particular
00:06:02.140he he turned and he pointed fingers at us at Canada right so we we live north of the US so
00:06:10.540we're granted huge protection right sure we we you know we we had our own military but in reality
00:06:17.100if somebody if the russians came over the arctic and invaded us the americans would be there
00:06:21.740the americans are the ones who patrolled the the the coast the north and the atlantic and
00:06:28.140and the arctic and protected vessels when when we have a ship that's transporting goods from from
00:06:33.660japan back to canada or vice versa and those ships are in international waters and they get in
00:06:39.020distress they're calling americans canadians are calling on americans all the time um the the anyway
00:06:46.460so lots of things lots of examples of that you know uh american car manufacturing having divisions
00:06:52.620in the in canada and building cars here and so forth so donald trump gets elected and and he's
00:06:58.780got a he's got a beef right he he doesn't like the trade imbalance between our two countries
00:07:05.820okay there's always going to be a trade imbalance but he doesn't but in his mind it's it's less than
00:07:11.340it's worse than it should be so there's a trade imbalance uh we are opening he's opening his
00:07:17.580border he's allowing canadian banks to do business in canada but we don't reciprocate uh we have two
00:07:24.540you know we force his manufacturers to provide services that are bilingual there's the dairy
00:07:29.900cartel there's all sorts of things right so trump is just upset and he gets elected and he's mandated
00:07:36.380by his people to reform their economy turn things around bring back manufacturing into the us
00:07:42.780and make america great again and and that for us it's unfortunate it had a negative consequence on
00:07:50.700us right right away but to me that should have just been a wake-up call okay it's just a wake-up
00:07:58.140call we were lucky we got the free internet we were lucky for years and finally when when the
00:08:04.060neighbor says enough is enough and I'm not giving you the free internet. So Donald Trump says enough
00:08:08.840is enough. I'm not letting you just build cars and export and re-export them back to my country
00:08:16.040at a higher cost. I'm going to put an end to that and I'm going to put tariffs on your products.
00:08:21.940Well, I was always of the opinion that we shouldn't retaliate with tariffs, that that was a
00:08:27.580wake-up call and that we should have just used it as an opportunity to smarten up and get more
00:08:32.820efficient but canada decided to retaliate with tariffs and so there's only and there's only a
00:08:40.580handful of countries at the and at the beginning trump didn't just pick on canada he picked on a
00:08:46.160lot of countries broadly and he implied imposed tariffs on a lot of nations and by the way a
00:08:50.880tariff is not a penalty on us on the exporting nation it's a penalty on his own country right
00:08:57.780So when he put a tariff on, you know, call it lumber, he's not punishing us per se.
00:09:05.080He's saying to the Americans, find a cheaper place to buy your lumber.
00:09:09.920But now, in effect, once the tariff's in place, yes, we might lose a bit of market share, but what's our incentive?
00:09:16.880If the tariff is 10%, then reduce your cost by 10% and stay competitive.
00:09:21.260So Donald Trump was a wake-up call, and it was a wake-up call to a lot of nations.
00:09:26.100and a lot of nations responded in a very positive way they said yeah yeah sorry sorry we agree and
00:09:32.260and we're gonna rectify things we'll we'll we'll buy more from you guys we'll adjust the trade
00:09:37.340imbalance and so forth and so forth but then you got canada that doubles down and immediately says
00:09:42.100no we're going to impose tariffs on you counter tariffs we're going to strike back and then you
00:09:47.660got carny going over the top saying you know the relationship is forever damaged and we can't count
00:09:52.880on the americans anymore and we're going to start the new world order and and uh and and
00:09:58.400antagonize and then you got doug ford who stepped in right remember doug ford like a year ago
00:10:03.080pouring uh um you know running ads in the u.s during the the world series criticizing donald
00:10:11.400trump and so forth and so forth so and and this rhetoric between our two nations has kept on going
00:10:42.660And by the way, I think that if we stop protecting the dairy cartel, our own dairy farmers would still do fine, because as long as you produce like there's a there's a demand.
00:10:52.880People want good milk, good cheese, good yogurt and things like that.
00:10:56.680And our, you know, our government, our our farmers always are proud of the fact that we have, I don't know, less antibiotics in it and less growth hormones.
00:11:05.400And it's whatever. It's a more organic milk.
00:11:08.260If that's the case and that's what people want, then you should be able to compete on an open market.
00:11:12.660So, and the dairy cartel keeps coming up all the time, all the time, all the time. So we've had this back and forth. And originally when Carney was running to get elected, this served him well, right? He had an instant boogeyman south of him. He's got Donald Trump, who's attacking Canada. It's a wake up call for folks. He wasn't attacking Canada, but the liberals played it that way that Trump was attacking us.
00:11:40.200And Carney was the man that could stand up to Trump.
00:11:45.180And Carney played that card at the beginning and it got him.
00:11:48.280It was popular and it got him votes and it helped him win an election.
00:11:52.580But he's been playing that card over and over and over and over.
00:11:56.040And now it's become this stubborn battle.
00:11:58.480And it's a stubborn battle that we're going to lose because the U.S.
00:12:02.880economy is 13 times, 14 times bigger than us.
00:12:06.360And it's so don't call it giving in to the Americans.0.65
00:28:35.560Yeah, she brings up a bunch of good points, but I just want to go back to,
00:28:39.640um i i want to go back to that the alberta independence was on the topic this week uh in
00:28:48.180pi but i i want to talk about how um how suddenly everybody wants alberta on team canada and and i
00:28:56.320keep saying this like they want us on team canada when it's convenient and then as soon as it's
00:29:00.900inconvenient they'll kick us off the team right like they that that's that's my opinion and this
00:29:06.860week was another example of that. Doug Ford, Doug Ford's been in front of the mic all week long and
00:29:11.640keep keep putting the mic on him, folks, because every time he talks like it's comedy. And so he
00:29:17.000he had the mic on him today and he was or yesterday. And like I said, I can't find the
00:29:21.900exact words, but he was saying something like along the lines of we can't take it sitting down
00:29:26.840from Trump. We need to like retaliate and annihilate like he was using that kind of language.
00:29:32.640right and and and then and then he went from there and talking about we how he was going to do that
00:29:40.640and will annihilate them by denying them you know energy and power and stuff like that and right
00:29:46.400away everybody who was listening to him especially from alberta were like doug those are things you0.95
00:29:51.840don't even have right and and so doug ford doug doug i'm talking to you man you have no aces up
00:30:00.400your sleeve in terms of how you're going to deal with donald trump you have nothing
00:30:04.960that donald trump needs nothing maybe you got a little bit of you got a bit of critical minerals
00:30:12.640you got some copper maybe up in northern ontario and you got a few things but fundamentally what
00:30:19.200does donald trump need that he can't supply himself and then he can't get quickly from
00:30:24.800other places you're on to something doug donald trump needs oil the us is a net importer of oil
00:30:31.200so they need like 12 million barrels of of oil per day that they consume and they produce about
00:30:36.16010 so they need two from somewhere else so they get it from us they actually get more from us than
00:30:40.560the two they buy four and then they resell a couple so they're a net importer of oil so they
00:30:46.000need our oil and they can't replace that quickly with anywhere anybody else's oil not venezuela's
00:30:50.800not nobody else is that just takes time they need natural gas from us they produce a lot of natural
00:30:56.320gas and they export natural gas but they're doing the same thing the americans are doing the same
00:31:00.080thing we are they're going down this ai path and they need to burn a lot of natural gas to make
00:31:04.560electricity to power their ai facilities and uh and they're great at exporting but the gulf of
00:31:11.040mexico is exporting like millions of metric tons of lng per year to uh europe so they'll buy all
00:31:17.520the natural gas from us for cheap and resell it so they need that they need nuclear okay they need
00:31:22.880uranium the americans don't produce uranium they really don't and they have this huge fleet of
00:31:30.400they project their power around the world right they are aircraft carriers and they're submarines
00:31:34.880and they project their power and their power is powered by nuclear energy so they need uranium
00:31:41.920from us and they can't get that from anywhere else i mean they could get it from russia
00:31:45.440doubt that's going to happen and then it can get it from other countries but it needs to be enriched
00:31:50.080a lot more and it's different so we got the best uranium for them so so far i've said oil natural
00:31:57.060gas that comes from alberta a little bit from bc uranium that comes from saskatchewan the americans
00:32:02.960need potash okay potash is critical for growing stuff for growing carrots potatoes corn whatever
00:32:11.140so they need potash and we're like the number one two or three producer of potash on the planet the
00:32:16.980other ones is australia and places like kazakhstan or whatever so the americans can't uh produce
00:32:24.000enough potash for themselves so they need to import it and they get it from us and it's super
00:32:28.800critical it might as well be a critical mineral for them so they need potash and then um what
00:32:35.160else do they need um that's about it they need a couple of other things but they but almost
00:32:40.840everything else they can produce in sort of suitable quantities for themselves so i mentioned
00:32:45.240four things well so and those four things i mentioned come from saskatchewan alberta and a
00:32:53.000bit from british columbia quebec oh minerals yes let's go i mean we don't produce a lot of rare
00:32:58.520earth minerals but we do produce quite a few important critical minerals that the americans need
00:33:04.440um you know like the the tungsten and nickel and magnesium and lithium and some of those things
00:33:12.200and um that they have the ability to source of from a few more places around the world but they'd
00:33:18.920rather source it from us and again the minerals come from yeah northern quebec northern ontario
00:33:24.840a little bit of places like that but i basically ranked them in order and so the americans uh need
00:33:30.280that stuff from us and when doug ford was threatening the americans i'm sure trump was
00:33:34.600laughing because trump knows that hey you personally dougie you don't have anything that i need
00:33:40.920yeah dougie needs to sit down somebody that's exactly right and doug in his exact sentence
00:33:46.360started mentioning the things i mentioned which is and then he appealed i knew i said yesterday
00:33:51.880i said how long before doug ford appeals to alberta to jump on teen canada and help out
00:33:58.840and what does doug ford want us to do on team canada he wants us to take one he wants us to
00:34:05.640shoot ourselves in the foot and he wants us to cut off the oil and the natural gas to the us
00:34:10.520he wants one he wants us to take one for team canada hurt our own economy and take one for
00:34:15.480team canada so the dougie can you know stick it to the americans luckily uh danielle smith today
00:34:22.760being interviewed said you know she wants no part of that and i don't blame her and by the way
00:34:27.080that would actually be uh an act of war like shutting off another nation's supply of energy
00:34:33.400even though it's done as part of trade i mean that's how uh the americans and the japanese
00:34:38.520uh got into a conflict that the uh you know in world war ii the americans cut off japan's oil
00:34:44.040supply so i'm not i i don't think we should be cutting off america's oil or gas supply
00:34:50.600and uh it's potentially an act of war and it would only hurt us and that and elevate things so
00:34:56.280All that to say that I don't like the path that this is going down.
00:35:00.040I think the solution is obvious, which is, you know, lift the dairy cartel, which and I think the dairy cartels could take care of themselves, buy some stuff from the Americans, work on the imbalance, lift the lift the our tariffs and focus on becoming more efficient.
00:35:18.520But, you know, Carney is refusing to do that and he's going to keep being stubborn and go down this path for for as long as possible.
00:35:26.160and I don't think it's going to end up well for us.
00:35:46.300so you guys know the story of the Gordie Howe Bridge
00:35:49.680back in about 2008 under the Harper government.
00:35:54.620so this started under the harper government we decided that we needed to somebody was thinking
00:36:00.380into the future okay this is good this is forward looking somebody saw that there's a problem there's
00:36:05.020a bottleneck at the border the uh peace bridge is not or the peace bridge or the edge whatever
00:36:10.460bridge is down in that windsor uh detroit corridor was insufficient somebody mentioned on somebody
00:36:16.460tell me what the name of that bridge was in the chat there please so we we had a vision and we
00:36:21.340decided we're going to build a bridge across and uh de-bottleneck the traffic which would help for
00:36:29.060the import exports of auto parts and things like that good good good right infrastructure and then
00:36:33.880we didn't quite negotiate a really good deal with the americans and we basically unilaterally built
00:36:40.520this bridge so canada builds the bridge and then canada sets up the toll and canada is going to
00:36:46.820collect the tolls but then donald trump gets elected donald trump's a wild man and he says
00:36:51.980no we're not opening this bridge on our side so we pay billions of dollars build a bridge we expect
00:36:57.700to have it open and we're going to collect tolls and trump says nope you should have signed a
00:37:02.520better deal and i'm not opening this bridge until so he's using it as a bargaining chip right and
00:37:09.780this and then carney tells us that oh i i i went and met with trump we negotiated and the bridge
00:37:16.060will open and it's all good so then people start digging and went oh wait a minute wait a minute
00:37:21.400wait a minute wait a minute and so uh carney got challenged on this and carney almost refused to
00:37:28.280talk about it turned away from the mics wouldn't talk about it and now we're getting the whole
00:37:32.220story the bridge is going to open and uh we will recover the cost of the bridge through tolls
00:37:40.300But in the meantime, regardless, half the tolls we collect on this bridge are just going to go to the U.S.
00:37:46.660So the U.S. who put no money into building this bridge is going to is going to get money revenue from the bridge.
00:37:54.500And now it's going to take us twice as long to pay off this bridge because half the money we're getting every year is instead of going to pay off the bridge is just going to go to the U.S.
00:38:04.060So another example of an absolute monumental failure on the part of Kearney.
00:38:08.660and um and and and this is you know was it a bad deal to start with sure but remember he was touted
00:38:16.520as carney the magnificent the guy who could negotiate anything and so far he just hasn't
00:38:22.000negotiated anything whatsoever for us i'm scrolling through the comments folks there is a lot of
00:38:28.180comments there um all right well i'll keep pei is the place that is all no okay cool folks uh numbers
00:38:37.980on the screen there i i know it's uh just after lunchtime maybe you're digesting maybe you're at
00:38:42.300work and you're uh you don't want to be uh uh you got rules you can't uh make phone calls on
00:38:49.260i don't know what the deal is but come on folks uh there's the number on the on the screen there
00:38:54.780and give me a give me a call um all right where do i go from here uh i want to talk about this
00:39:02.060one i don't know how long i'll be able to talk about this one but this was another one of those
00:39:06.460weird stories this week um how many did you guys all see that um gentleman the the the young man
00:39:17.260of uh the seek persuasion who went to the good will or good life gym uh in somewhere in ontario
00:39:25.980and made a big deal so this guy's an influencer and he's obviously likes to film himself doing
00:39:32.540things and so he goes to the gym he's not wearing a shirt and he's got his kerpan right that little
00:39:38.040curved um ceremonial knife and and the gym a lady who works at the gym walked up to him and said
00:39:47.420i'm getting complaints and people uh would like you to you know cover up and hide that perpan or
00:39:56.000keep it in your in your locker and i mean this thing that like he was openly wearing it and this
00:40:01.980thing was long right like not not just a little ceremonial thing this thing looked like a hunting
00:40:06.800knife kind of thing and she and and then he got into this back and forth with her and he posted
00:40:12.200it on the internet and then he posted all these all these other videos came out about it and there
00:40:18.340was at first there was a rumor so i'm i'm gonna try and keep this concrete but at first there was
00:40:24.940a rumor that Good Life had fired the lady in the business, the gym attendant. That turns out that
00:40:33.160no, that wasn't the case. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lawsuit against Good Life that comes
00:40:38.620out of this. But he's an influencer, I get it. But then other people piled on, right? And so then
00:40:45.800Jagmeet Singh, former leader of the NDP, his brother comes on. And now everybody's making a
00:40:51.720big deal about how this is a human right folks i looked into it and uh the i mean this is an
00:40:59.880this is an awesome debate right now and i and i like it i i and i think it's going to backfire
00:41:05.180on that guy yes the courts have ruled that um the gyms have to accommodate that they're allowed to
00:41:14.000bring a kerpan but the the court said a small one like a four not a four to six centimeter one
00:41:20.040and that it has to be sort of not visible
00:41:23.580under the shirt kind of thing, et cetera, et cetera.
00:41:27.100And so there's attempts to accommodate
00:44:58.100I was going to go there. You beat me to it.
00:45:00.020Right? It's a perfect segue to what we're encountering with the two-tier justice that we see evident, and let's even correlate that with what we see with the Forever Canadian, what's happening here. It all works together, it seems, right?
00:45:22.880Yeah. And accommodate and consult have similar words. And then consult definitely doesn't necessarily mean agree. Right. Or what's the other terms I'm thinking of? I see where you're going with this. I was going to go with this, perhaps in the context of of major projects right now and consulting and accommodating First Nations and things like that.
00:45:48.940But you yeah, I like where you took it.
00:45:52.880Yeah, because condone I think would be a word that you're looking for as well, you know,0.97
00:45:58.680or we're consulting doesn't mean we doesn't mean we take Oh, yeah, the word that Wob
00:47:48.340that's just going to fly by and i'm going through my list of things and and uh i'm not even going
00:47:53.060to have time to cover all of the topics that i wanted to talk about um so anyways uh where do
00:48:00.260i end off on uh on the good life um it's well to see i i guess we're going to see what happens
00:48:08.500um i i feel bad for them already they're they're already the subject of memes they're already the
00:48:14.820subject of boycotts and things like that and uh and and that's too bad like it's i i guess i'm
00:48:21.540going back to accommodating and i think we are actually this is one thing i wanted to say i'm
00:48:26.340going to tie this in accommodating and and other things it's it what's really interesting is when
00:48:32.340accommodation starts to uh accommodating one person impacts another and even when you have
00:48:39.700well intentions right good intentions so i'll give you an example right i talked about wheelchair
00:48:44.660access and so in order to make a property wheelchair accessible you might have a property
00:48:50.340like a you know i might have sidewalks with a curb and so somebody can't go up and down the sidewalk
00:48:56.500when they're in a wheelchair so to accommodate somebody with a wheelchair i might put a little
00:49:01.700area at the end you see it in city streets right the sidewalk suddenly smooths down and that's to
00:49:06.740accommodate a wheelchair but when you accommodate a wheelchair by removing that curb you are
00:49:13.540inconveniencing a blind person who is walking along with the cane and who's relying on that0.81
00:49:19.060curb to know where something is you know you see what i'm saying so this whole concept of of0.99
00:49:25.220completely accommodating everybody on everything all the time is impossible right you can't please
00:49:31.460all the people all the time so it's the same thing with accommodating it you you end up with a you
00:49:36.980end up with an overlap in a conflict and an example of the conflict that showed up this week with this
00:49:42.260gentlemen you know i i gave the example of the guns which is perhaps a stretch because um you know
00:49:50.100i'll leave it at that but somebody else brought up a very real case like
00:49:53.780if a young lady has a bear spray and brings a bear spray to the gym because she's nervous and
00:50:00.500she's worried um how come she's not accommodated or or should women expect to be accommodated by
00:50:07.620having a separate hours at the gym or a separate area of the gym and stuff like that right so that0.98
00:50:13.380that's where the whole accommodation thing keeps on uh on on on going and uh and i'll leave it at
00:50:19.300that um okay i wanted a couple of things i wanted to talk about uh maybe i should have brought these
00:50:25.540up earlier uh might have resonated more with people locally elections alberta this week elections
00:50:31.380alberta has been in the news a lot this week they're uh they're actually almost asking that uh
00:50:36.340influencers like myself stop talking about them okay that's an interesting one right so when the
00:50:42.740government or an institution doesn't want us to talk about them uh why and so i find that
00:50:48.500elections alberta lately is going out of its way to defend itself they're running a big ad campaign
00:50:54.740you know promoting themselves as impartial this blah blah blah this week uh for them the they're
00:51:01.060they're they continue to be under call under criticism by a lot of valid by a lot of separatists
00:51:11.900who are bringing up points of why actually let me let me bring this back we had a very successful
00:51:18.100telethon last Saturday five days ago where we promoted all the third-party advertisers we did
00:51:25.000a 12-hour telethon and then during the telethon I got to interview one of the third-party advertisers
00:51:30.420and talk in depth about, you know, what they have to do to comply with the Elections Alberta rules
00:51:38.180regarding raising money, campaigning and stuff like that.
00:51:41.500The advertiser I got to interview was Jason Levine of The Levine Show.
00:51:45.960But, you know, right here, Corey Morgan is a third party advertiser and others.
00:51:52.480And so we are held, they are held to a very high standard of transparency by Elections Alberta when it comes to all these things.
00:52:03.440And there's been a lot of criticism this week that Thomas Lukasik's group, the Forever Canada group, is not being held to the same level of compliance.
00:52:12.680And Elections Alberta's excuse is that they're not campaigning, they're just promoting something.
00:52:19.220And, you know, in elections, Alberta went as far as issuing a bulletin, trying to clarify the situation.
00:52:24.840And when you read the bulletin, it just looks like they're making excuses for Thomas's group.
00:52:29.380Go ahead, caller. Where are you calling from? What's on your mind?
00:52:33.300Oh, Marty here from Abbotsford, British Columbia.
00:52:38.120I'm glad there's a referendum. Yeah, it's Donald. You know who I am.
00:52:42.120So we're having problems here with fires right now here in the Boston fire.
00:55:17.400and she posted a picture of herself holding a cop a coffee mug that said f your uh fascist pancake
00:55:26.120with the funny music basically accusing and agreeing she's basically agreeing that danielle0.98
00:55:32.760smith is a fascist and i think i think that's dangerous identity politics that's care that's0.58
00:55:39.320that's really careless like i want my politicians to step up politicians to me should have condoned0.95
00:55:45.320that lady saying this is not how you engage the premier that's it but but to to to to to
00:55:51.960not only support what she said but to agree with it and to use it uh politically that's that's
00:55:58.760gross right mcpherson should know better daniel smith is no is is as far from being a fascist as
00:56:05.240i can possibly think yeah well daniel smith daniel smith has been a lot on a podcast and all that
00:56:13.000stuff like bird of dad rebel movie and all that stuff like and they're calling and these little
00:56:18.440lunatics and all that stuff are calling you guys calling you guys fascist separatist extremists
00:56:26.100and all that stuff when these people are extremists themselves they want now let's talk about the
00:56:31.880so-called nerves here blocking a freezing bank account because they can't get their own way
00:56:37.800so they want to now block infrastructure they want to attack people they want to do checkpoints they
00:56:44.040want to do all this stuff like i agree there has to be some audits on these band members i like to
00:56:50.320know how much money they're getting from the mvp and from these ngos yeah yeah okay cool uh save
00:56:56.860some of that for next week where yeah you're you're you're giving me too much thought but now
00:57:00.900i'm looking at the screen and my god that the hour went by so fast appreciate the call thanks for uh
00:57:06.200we'll chat again next week sorry about no worry about that martin it's like one it's one o'clock
00:57:10.920here yeah yeah no worries have a great weekend thanks okay so i i got a couple of minutes i think
00:57:17.940before uh the hour is up john i think we're gonna have to go maybe we'll wait until after summer but
00:57:23.320after summer we're gonna have to go to 90 minute shows because um i'm having no problem filling
00:57:28.740i'm literally having no problem filling an hour of just monologuing with a handful of calls i
00:57:33.700really want you guys to call in so like tell me what's keeping you from calling is it the time
00:57:39.380of the day like do i need to shift the show to another different time zone do i need to bring
00:57:44.420in more guests i mean i like i'm feeling like there's no problem for me to fill 90 minutes
00:57:49.220especially if i bring a guest i think we'll run the summer on this schedule and then come fall
00:57:54.660we'll you know i'll put some serious thought into uh going to a 90 minute show maybe at a different
00:57:59.300time slot um i like let me just finish on elections alberta so elections alberta's
00:58:04.820is really backed in the corner defending himself and especially their decision to
00:58:10.020they they really appear to be um biased and not as impartial as we want them to be
00:58:16.740um and and to me the more an organization or business fights saying hey we're impartial or
00:58:22.420we're this or we're that the more they fight to convince you of something the more i get suspicious
00:58:27.060So I don't like what's going on with Elections Alberta.
00:58:29.920And the other thing I wanted to talk about, but I'm kind of running out of time, is Elections Alberta this week opened the portal so that people can go register to vote by mail for the upcoming referendum.
00:59:23.980So like a lot of other things, I'll go through the process next week and I'll I'll request a mail in ballot to see how that works out and whether or not I feel that there's, you know, areas for improvement.
00:59:38.080Who knows? All right. We never got around to I wanted to maybe I'll save this one for next week.
00:59:42.500i wanted to talk about stats canada's report on crime and uh i wanted to talk about uh well
