Western Standard - Mountain Standard Time

00:00:00.000 hello and good morning welcome to mountain standard time i'm your host nathan guida and today we're

00:00:13.500 going to be talking a little bit about the federal election before we get going too far down that

00:00:18.700 road however i would like to of course do our endorsement of resistance coffee resistance coffee

00:00:24.840 is based in wayburn saskatchewan and instead of taking your money and using them or woke causes

00:00:32.140 to put it as plainly as you can they help increase your freedom so if you're looking for a coffee

00:00:39.140 company that doesn't want to just curtail your freedoms and doesn't want to put a social agenda

00:00:43.780 upon you but rather defend the freedoms you already have and hopefully expand them look no further than

00:00:49.280 resistance coffee again based in wayburn and you can order their stuff online using our promo code

00:00:54.460 western standard for 10 off your first order well i mean it's that time of day again we are going to

00:01:04.300 get into the depths of the federal election this should be noted right from the top here that this

00:01:10.780 show is going on hiatus that is to say at least i'm going on hiatus i'm getting married in less than 40

00:01:17.500 days everything that i do when you don't see me in front of this camera and in front of this microphone

00:01:23.240 is for the wedding it's being hosted on my parents farm so that's a whole logistical

00:01:28.620 thing uh people are still you know being invited there's various family drama about everything from

00:01:35.800 questions of vaccinations to where people are going to stay etc it's all it's all a bit all over the

00:01:40.960 place but the point is that i just don't have the capacity to do both the show right now and prepare

00:01:48.440 for my nuptials so i'm thankful and hopeful that you'll all have that patience with me and whomever

00:01:55.000 is either chosen to guest host in my stead or uh if the show is indeed replaced for that time of hiatus

00:02:02.440 and they put something else in the slot of 9 a.m pacific 10 a.m mountain to 11 a.m pacific 12 p.m

00:02:09.880 so that's that you have that update again i'm going to miss all of you very much but here is my opening

00:02:16.880 statement let's get through this uh pre-recorded version of mountain standard time

00:02:22.420 the short version of the story is that the liberals are likely to win in the fall this is not to say that

00:02:31.660 there is no possibility of an upset the grits have been in power for years they've created more scandals 0.99

00:02:37.660 than any other government in recent history but between trudeau's charisma and the party machinery

00:02:43.560 of really the most successful party on earth on in many respects certainly in the english-speaking

00:02:49.740 world they've held power longer they've had control more often and quite frankly they've shaped the

00:02:56.500 entire narrative of a country that up until they took over with laurier had been run by conservatives

00:03:03.360 that party machinery and trudeau's charisma there is no effective opposition that stands in the way of

00:03:10.400 a third mandate for these people we must understand that effective opposition is the name of the game

00:03:17.720 when it comes to the westminster model the reason the government sits in aisles right so it sits across

00:03:23.420 from each other and not in a semicircle

00:03:25.840 is to ensure that everyone knows which side of initial issue you are on as winston churchill said

00:03:33.820 long ago in a half circle people can move laterally gradually slowly changing their position and he of

00:03:40.340 course he was talking about that on an issue you owe your voters an honest take of where you stand of

00:03:45.660 where you sit and winston churchill had the right to say that because winston churchill crossed the floor

00:03:51.680 something like four times in order to keep his principles alive he was a liberal he was a tory

00:03:57.180 he was a liberal he was a tory and then he went on to win world war ii so anybody who says a floor

00:04:01.360 crossing is completely unforgivable doesn't understand the fundamental principles of parliament

00:04:07.280 and is in effect disowning the man who won world war ii unfortunately even with the geography of

00:04:15.200 canada's parliament the tories have slowly but surely moved to the left on most social issues and towards

00:04:21.200 austerity on most economic ones the conservative base is made up of social conserves and i would

00:04:27.200 say fiscal stewards there are some fiscal hawks in there but for the most part i don't think

00:04:33.760 that most conservatives are austerity conservatives that's a very small amount of conservatives and a

00:04:39.280 lot of those austerity conservatives are actually people are just looking to make the rents themselves

00:04:44.240 right so they're tired that there's a kind of public subsidy in that area and if only that public subsidy

00:04:49.360 was eliminated then they could take that money off of people directly themselves and they would be

00:04:53.600 very interested in doing that and that's fine i understand that that's basic self-interest but

00:04:58.960 that doesn't mean that it's okay and i don't have a lot of time for austerity conservatives they they

00:05:04.960 always seem to not be able to put two and two together they don't want to suffer that's another

00:05:11.840 part of the conservative base for a lot of for most part most of them don't want to suffer the

00:05:15.920 american experience in health care there are plenty of people interested in renovating canadian health

00:05:20.480 care but they are not interested in having a fundamentally private option or only a private

00:05:26.320 option aaron o'toole would do well to recall all that when he looks at his base and realizes how

00:05:32.080 he has to motivate them to vote while the liberals are dictating the narrative the tories are sweeping

00:05:37.680 up the crumbs calling them their own when clearly they're not or worse declaring these small bits as high

00:05:44.400 crimes against our common humanity while justin trudeau and the gang make off with the entire

00:05:49.360 cupboard or pantry none of what the conserves are saying or doing resonates with the population in

00:05:55.280 general this is ironic because the liberals are extremely weak everywhere a combining of benefits

00:06:03.360 that puts families first would outflank them on social policy we just got through the serb we just got

00:06:08.480 through all of that all the kind of subsidies that were handed out in order to survive covet i am not

00:06:15.520 saying i want the canadian government to be in debt forever i'm not saying i want a model of of income

00:06:22.080 that just makes no sense or is is built on a house of cards but i think we're getting to a point where

00:06:30.000 our society understands that unless we start having a serious renovation of our wages and for that matter

00:06:37.600 our tariffs and all sorts of other economic national policy that will ensure that cheap labor is kept

00:06:42.640 out labor and labor can increase its its pricing with a shortened supply combined with supplies from

00:06:49.840 overseas are also cut off that we start to make things here at home we need to start thinking about

00:06:56.640 how we're going to properly redistribute wealth not not by higher taxation and not by the bizarre system

00:07:03.840 of income taxation that we have in the loopholes we have but probably a far more simplified benefit

00:07:09.360 system where we combine child benefits and the idea some of the ideas around universal basic income

00:07:16.080 and for myself i must be i must be completely clear that would mean essentially helping one parent stay at

00:07:22.800 home and that the family would be the basis of economic well-being even in the poorest quarters the

00:07:30.400 family would be incentivized home the home would be built again and homemade great again i guess

00:07:39.200 by allowing one of the spouses one of the parents to remain free to take care of the children um

00:07:47.360 economically wealthy no but free to take care of the children in a simplified benefit format

00:07:54.800 especially when we talk about universal child care and all that jazz you know where the easiest child

00:07:59.040 care is the fastest commute to child care is at home just like everything else cheapest way to get our

00:08:06.800 get better food and to make sure it's higher quality and ensure there's less pollution around transporting

00:08:11.200 food grow it at home homesteading homesteading is the rule of thumb if we have to have a more urban

00:08:17.920 version of homesteading so be it but i would still argue i would still argue that the best thing you could hope

00:08:25.280 for is to have one parent staying at home but the conservatives could definitely outflank the liberals

00:08:33.600 on this and it's not a it's not something that the liberals really have an answer to they don't have

00:08:42.160 an answer to national strategy and they don't have an answer to well just so many things because they

00:08:47.920 don't have a plan they just have a series of praxis a series of techniques that they keep the population

00:08:54.800 under control with and they incentivize people to vote for them but the conserves really could they

00:08:59.680 really could push through if they had a national vision transgenderism is another thing that could

00:09:06.560 easily get them votes in the federal election the tool and his advisors have gotten far too close

00:09:12.800 far too close to the liberals on too many issues i see no effect of opposition in this country

00:09:20.560 at least at the federal level and until something changes on that we are well

00:09:30.240 we're doomed so let us pray that the conserves in canada figure out a little bit more what they ought to

00:09:36.720 be doing and that uh slowly but surely you know a real a real vision for the true north strong and free

00:09:44.960 or even for us out here in the west hopefully that comes to pass

00:09:52.080 so we are going to work our way through a couple of different uh items today and we're probably going to

00:09:58.400 start off with uh the polling data as as it stands here in canada we are we're an interesting country

00:10:07.440 uh we have a kind of bizarre model having watched many american elections i i've kind of come to

00:10:12.400 believe that canada's boundary system for its ridings which are better built than the american ones let's

00:10:18.800 be clear they're not gerrymandered not the way the american ones are every a couple of them could use some work

00:10:24.320 but they are not like the american ones which follow highways for miles at a time just to capture two

00:10:32.640 different areas of rich folk or poor folk or middle folk or black folk white folk whatever whatever you

00:10:39.600 want to say uh whomever they're trying to capture they're trying to capture a certain catchment of

00:10:44.000 people so that they can ensure that that riding always stays blue or red or whatever it is right

00:10:50.560 in canada we have we have some similar dissimilar problems but fewer of them far fewer and i think

00:10:59.200 the other side of it is that when it comes to when it comes to the federal election our our riding system

00:11:07.840 is it's kind of interesting because it almost acts as a sort of electoral college to a point right because

00:11:16.240 i mean different provinces are weighted differently they have different amounts of seats and it's

00:11:20.480 something we need to change make no mistake i'm not advocating for central canada having as many seats

00:11:25.120 as they have even because of their population and as i've said a few times before on this show my

00:11:30.960 solution to the canadian problem is is pretty severe it's a complete redrawing of the boundaries within

00:11:36.960 canada to the point where we are a loosely confederated entity a very loosely confederated essentially

00:11:43.520 empire the empire of canada perhaps the the capital stays in ottawa perhaps not but we use something

00:11:49.600 that wouldn't look too different honestly that wouldn't look too different from a uh a riding well

00:12:00.000 about a boundary map that you would see uh if you go to your bishop's office and you see a diocesan map

00:12:06.080 of all of all of canada there's about 47 or 48 dioceses in canada and i would say that's about as

00:12:13.600 many provinces as we need to properly address the issues and before anybody gets all up in my face

00:12:18.080 particularly people who think the church burnings are okay right now not that there's a lot of people

00:12:22.000 watching this channel that are on that side of the issue but all i'm saying is people for against that

00:12:27.520 sort of thing and people have problems with you know church influence ever you know just for different

00:12:31.440 reasons and fair enough i would invite you to look at that map and the reason i invite you to look at

00:12:37.920 that map is that it does things i think i've mentioned this before as well but it does things

00:12:44.080 like include churchill with all of none of it none of it and churchill are far closer in culture people

00:12:52.000 understanding than churchill and even thompson let alone churchill and winnipeg and so the the reason i

00:12:58.800 use this example is quite frankly i still see churchill as an as a key strategic area in canada

00:13:03.920 especially if we're going to get serious about doing uh things in the northwest passage and and

00:13:10.240 taking advantage of whatever is happening with the climate the fact of the matter is if the ice pack

00:13:15.200 is moving then we can use that for better logistics and for world trade and international trade and

00:13:22.160 ensure that we're getting our goods to market and ensure that we're getting a good price for our

00:13:25.760 goods we're not just exclusively selling them to the americans and therefore getting but we're a

00:13:31.280 captive market we're getting chump change but the point that i'm trying to drive home here when it

00:13:36.080 comes to redrawing the boundaries of canada is that churchill should have joined none of it a long time

00:13:41.520 ago it should have joined the northwest territories that was actually discussed after under the last

00:13:45.280 trudeau i met a man in his 80s who remembers trudeau the elder and discussed with him at the

00:13:51.200 churchill airport the possibility of churchill being re-appropriated into the northwest territories

00:13:55.680 because it wasn't really getting anything out of being in manitoba and trudeau senior smiled nodded and

00:14:01.120 then proceeded to get on his flight as fast as possible to avoid the rest of this conversation so

00:14:07.200 that's kind of that's kind of i guess the the place to put it in a in a sense of where where do you

00:14:13.760 go from here how do you think about this equation where do you actually feel at home

00:14:18.560 do you feel at home as a rural person that's near calgary and calgary sucks up all of the energy

00:14:26.880 do you feel home in british columbia when a place like vancouver sucks up most of the political and

00:14:32.160 economic energy or victoria i mean the rest of the island you go up north island north island is not like

00:14:38.880 south island at all in in british columbia south island is urbanized and government workers and yeah

00:14:44.960 it's very statist and and and it's it's the soft status but somewhat severe socialism of a boomer

00:14:52.720 town right all these people are boomers they're they're old older they have to be older in order 0.98

00:14:57.200 to afford housing down there it's a it's a very interesting sort of setup i'm not even trying to

00:15:01.840 throw boomers under the bus there i'm just saying it's it victoria is if you aren't working for the 0.98

00:15:07.760 government you can't afford to live there and so that's south island north island i'm not saying there's

00:15:13.920 nothing pricey north island but but these are people who have to live by their own two hands

00:15:18.800 and they still have logging they still have natural resource extraction and there's a lot of working

00:15:23.120 class mentality which while it might lean all sorts of directions right-wing populace left-wing populace

00:15:28.960 they care about they care about their their elders having proper health care and they care about their

00:15:33.920 communities and it makes and it makes a more kind of communitarian and you know honor-based society

00:15:40.720 than sort of the urbanized alienated society down south and again what do you feel more connected to

00:15:47.760 what do you feel more connected to where where should your boundaries be in order to feel like

00:15:53.680 you are being properly represented well represented at any level of government also that you feel like

00:15:58.800 you have a proper group of people that you're with the people who you can actually identify with

00:16:04.320 that is my point when it comes to what's wrong with canadian federalism that's that's my entire point i think that

00:16:09.440 canada's federal issues are and provincial ones for that matter are never going to be solved until

00:16:15.440 you redraw the boundaries and make canada this loosely confederated entity that that quite frankly

00:16:23.120 is is it looks a little bit more like the united states but probably more like the eastern united

00:16:27.600 states which follow natural curves they're not just random lines that are that are drawn in the middle of

00:16:34.160 the map they're they're more natural they're built around rivers and watersheds and i would say the

00:16:39.840 same of of uh of canada at least in the west and throughout throughout all of canada

00:16:49.360 i uh i think the next the next thing to kind of get into here though is the polling data itself so let's uh

00:16:56.560 let's kind of jump into that as best we can where are we sitting where are we sitting at right now i think

00:17:02.480 the conserves sit at like 100 and something seats anyways is it about 100 seats and uh they're right

00:17:11.520 now they're saying that we're going to get a certainly at least a second liberal minority because 162

00:17:18.560 no we have 330 how many seats do we have in parliament right now we have 338 i guess we have 338 well that

00:17:29.680 would mean that that would be enough so the looking at a second liberal majority uh under this current

00:17:37.280 leader uh the ndp again staying down in the 30s the block staying in the 30s and of course the

00:17:42.960 conservative staying at about 105 i'll zoom in for that for you in case you can't quite read it from there

00:17:50.080 and supposedly the greens are going to take a seat uh depending on whether or not they can

00:17:55.520 well just manage their their issues uh they still have anime paul in charge of things

00:18:06.080 and that's where that sits right now i i must admit that i'm not surprised i'm not surprised at all

00:18:17.120 uh the liberal party of canada is one of the most successful parties on the face of the earth

00:18:23.200 when it comes to their electioneering uh more successful than the democrats united states more

00:18:27.360 successful than the republicans united states even since 88 which some leftists have some very

00:18:31.680 particular things to say about we'll get into that uh at our next show when we have stuart parker on

00:18:36.640 later this week but truly when you think about the the fact that we've had a conservative party in

00:18:45.360 this country in one form or another from its founding a conservative party founded it

00:18:53.200 their lack of success is just abysmal like it's just it's just astonishing how lacking in success

00:18:58.880 they've been since basically board and left office which would have been world war one so between laurier

00:19:05.280 in in the early century all the way to trudeau today the liberals have of our what how many we're on

00:19:12.640 our 34th or 35th prime minister the liberals have of those like 12 or 15 um it's it's not the way

00:19:23.600 it ought to be it ought to be less than that but the liberals have ruled this country uh for an exorbitant

00:19:30.480 amount of time and the reason that the liberals are capable of doing that is that they have this

00:19:37.280 bizarre consensus where the where the the quebecois know that they can trust the liberals to not uh throw

00:19:44.240 them under the bus or force them to meet the the standards or rules that the rest of canada is forced

00:19:49.760 to meet when it comes to language laws censorship culture immigration so the quebecois know that if

00:19:56.400 they vote liberal they're going to have their interests protected either bloc or liberal they'll

00:20:00.400 they'll have their interests protected and the central canadians know that is to say the ontarians

00:20:07.600 upper canada and for that matter atlantic atlantic canada knows that its entitlements won't be

00:20:12.880 curtailed right so no offense to atlantic canada but atlantic canada has been in one way or another

00:20:18.720 so i think some of the lowest thresholds for getting on ei in the whole country you only have to work

00:20:24.480 16 weeks 20 weeks whatever it is and you and you qualify for ei in atlantic canada in a way that you

00:20:33.040 just don't everywhere else in the country you have to have worked basically a year to qualify for ei or

00:20:37.520 the equivalent of a year in hours not not for it in months because you're working overtime you're working

00:20:42.080 overtime but to get your layoff proper and then to get full benefits in many other parts of canada

00:20:47.440 you don't you you don't have you have to you have to work for longer and so the benefits that go out

00:20:55.280 into atlantic canada not to mention the government jobs that are placed out there in short in order

00:20:59.200 to kind of shore it up and redistribute wealth from one part of the country to the other same with quebec 0.98

00:21:03.920 and even same with ontario right so quebec ontario and the maritimes all carry a good deal of government

00:21:09.040 jobs which are paid for by the west which which we we discuss at length on this show because of course

00:21:15.040 this is the sovereignty channel and we want people to be assured that at least

00:21:21.280 agitating for sovereignty is very much on our minds but more of a safe of the west in any case

00:21:28.640 however the point that that i'm trying to drive home here is that when it comes to the liberal

00:21:32.640 party they have this kind of brilliant blended model most maritimers don't have time for anything 0.99

00:21:38.400 that are mainstream liberal party values nowadays i'm guessing most maritimers don't have time for

00:21:43.200 censorship uh maritimers are always known for kind of speaking their mind that's kind of what they do

00:21:49.360 laid back but speaking their mind uh they and and having you know some traditional values in a sense

00:21:56.640 of like they come from old stock and they come from a heritage that is deep and rich and full of

00:22:02.960 suffering for that matter some real suffering in in those times but that that makes them real people

00:22:09.360 put it that way but the maritimers have no love lost for the liberals there's no there's no reason 1.00

00:22:16.800 to vote liberal really but they they do it in order to shore up their own benefits because it's in their

00:22:23.120 interest it's in the quebecois interest and then it's in central canada's interest again because the

00:22:27.920 liberals can be relied upon to kind of ensure that what social helps there are right now aren't taken away

00:22:35.040 maybe they're even slightly expanded but they will also keep the ship running because they have just

00:22:39.920 so much political clout everywhere they know so many people everywhere they know everybody on bay

00:22:45.120 street they know everybody that's that's building the ships in the shipyards they know everybody they

00:22:49.440 know all the oligarchs all the oligarchs know who the liberals are they all have them on their cell

00:22:53.680 phones they all have direct line communication between their families and the people who run the liberal

00:23:00.880 party of canada and so there's a deal that's kind of struck throughout central canada upper lower canada

00:23:08.400 ontario quebec and the maritimes and that is that these people can be trusted to keep the ship afloat

00:23:16.160 not cause austerity certainly not the austerity that that the conservatives would cause if they were in

00:23:22.800 charge and uh they just know how to they know how to run canada because they've been doing it so long

00:23:27.840 we're just going to keep them in charge and i tell you this as a conservative as somebody who considers

00:23:34.000 himself quite right of center i must admit that that logic is hard to defeat and it's really hard to

00:23:43.280 defeat especially when you have a complete lack of opposition by by the conservatives the conservatives

00:23:54.960 have completely lost their minds they they've completely lost their value structure i don't

00:23:59.760 even know i want to say they lost their minds they've become all logic and no heart and a complete

00:24:04.160 loss of understanding of where the base is at the base is nowhere else to be found the base is in one

00:24:13.360 place and that is in the socially conservative milieu for the most part and i'm talking about people you

00:24:20.400 don't have to be a social conservative like people think that i want to i want to kind of clarify

00:24:24.000 something here people think to be a social conservative you have to be like with me and

00:24:29.920 even friends to my right who are a part of a pretty traditionalist wing in the catholic church who think

00:24:39.120 that you know all contraception is wrong and that life life is for for the multiplication of children and 0.99

00:24:46.640 and having having having you know having your family your family first which means of course

00:24:53.520 children of family and and your spouse your wife loving your spouse with all your heart dying to

00:24:57.760 yourself etc going to church regularly probably too much according to most people and and everything

00:25:04.720 else revolves around that you know you the center of your social life the center of your

00:25:11.760 kind of your your community life is your your church your parish and you go build the church of home

00:25:18.320 with with children with family with with the investment thereof and everything else is secondary even your

00:25:24.160 career it that's that's just there to support the family you don't it i'm not there even necessarily

00:25:29.840 for self-fulfillment i want to contribute in a meaningful way and i want my talents to be used but my career is

00:25:35.920 not my primary duty my primary duty is my family and part of my vocation is quite literally to be

00:25:41.680 fruitful and multiply um to bring more souls to god that that might sound like total kooky town to some

00:25:50.640 people i know and i i'm not saying that that's the base of the conservative party not even close but if

00:25:57.040 that's the far end if that's the extreme of the base then let's wander our way back towards uh something

00:26:03.280 closer in the middle let's say you are a person who has no problem with contraception let's say

00:26:08.080 you're a person who really does think that their career is about equal equal importance to their

00:26:13.360 family or at least that's where they were getting their fulfillment before they found their spouse

00:26:17.840 and now you know because i didn't get married that young and so they are a typical somewhat middle class

00:26:22.720 even upper middle class uh suburban sort of family or even a rural family that's just managed to make

00:26:28.640 good money at something they've got a decent business they have two or three kids and that's

00:26:33.120 it they don't have four kids they don't have six kids they don't have nine kids they have two or three

00:26:37.600 at most and even in her fertile years the you know the wife is taking contraception and they are staying 0.98

00:26:47.360 very straight and narrow on how many kids they want to have and they put all that excess time into their

00:26:55.360 careers and paying down the mortgage etc now that family still has plenty of quote-unquote socially

00:27:03.280 conservative things going on inside of it that are still uh applicable to the the tories the tories

00:27:10.640 could still reach in and motivate that family they don't have to just be the christian heritage party in

00:27:15.760 order to get people to vote for them and one of the ways i would say that is that i think that family

00:27:20.480 especially if those kids are somewhere between the ages of eight and 18 they're putting their kids

00:27:26.320 whether they put them through french immersion which of course is subsidized private school for

00:27:30.160 the rich we'll talk about that another time but the whether they're putting them through french version

00:27:35.360 or they do have them in private school or they just don't have the money for that but they put them

00:27:38.800 through a really good public high school that high school is preaching a doctrine of transgenderism

00:27:44.640 and i'm guessing that no matter how progressive that family feels on a given day they have a cousin

00:27:51.760 who's lgbtq they have maybe gone to a parade or whatever or they don't mind putting up a rainbow flag

00:27:59.760 during pride month on their facebook they might have all that stuff going for them but none of them

00:28:05.280 think none of them think for even a second that they want their daughter or their son to change genders

00:28:12.320 they don't want that they don't want that at all they they don't agree with that the vast majority

00:28:18.000 of them do not believe that you can just wake up one morning and decide that i'm not a girl anymore

00:28:23.120 i'm a boy now or i'm not a boy anymore i'm a girl now and i'm going to not just dress like it or put

00:28:28.400 up some makeup or whatever i am literally going to get surgery in order to irreversibly damage my anatomy

00:28:39.040 and change my gender the vast majority of canadians don't agree with that and you don't have to be

00:28:47.520 some kind of radically traditional catholic person and i don't even get to go to the latin mass mind

00:28:52.640 you because we don't have it here in prince george but the point is that you don't need that guy

00:28:59.520 to vote for you and then lose everybody else the nine tenths of the rest of the block you know and now

00:29:04.800 you've lost that poll and the liberals have gained that seat you don't need you don't need just me

00:29:09.920 there are plenty of people along the rest of the nine tenths of this block this poll this district

00:29:15.920 who do not agree and you don't need you don't need to be in in just rural alberta or rural british

00:29:23.280 columbia or ontario for that to be the case no there are plenty of people in suburban writings and in

00:29:29.600 even i would argue even in you know downtown municipal urban writings that the center of cities

00:29:38.640 who do not agree particularly with the transgender agenda the idea that somebody who is a

00:29:47.760 somebody somebody who is

00:29:50.080 you know older wants to do that stuff to themselves and pay their own way nobody nobody's going to argue

00:30:01.120 with that because most people are civil libertarians on that account those of us who are more religious

00:30:06.080 whatever else still gonna be like that's that's not okay but do we think that we have the right to

00:30:10.960 interfere with it like at a at a kind of state level legal level logistical level not really and and you

00:30:17.760 know not you do you boo nobody really wants to say it that way but the fact of the matter is that

00:30:23.520 an adult's an adult's an adult like i can't do much about it in a secular democracy when an adult wants

00:30:29.600 to do this thing to their body or to their psychology etc to their hormones but children are a different

00:30:36.160 matter children belong to all of us at a certain level because that's the future of the country and

00:30:41.120 their innocence and their integrity and their ability to grow in confidence of what they are

00:30:48.160 they were born with a certain set of genitalia which is directly identified one-to-one with most

00:30:54.720 of their psychology biology and physiology and for those outliers the that's that's a different grace

00:31:00.960 a different question a different sort of compassion but for something that you can't even

00:31:06.000 say is the vast majority was something that is the entirety of the population with few caveats people

00:31:12.640 are born with certain set of genitalia which then conforms which directly conforms to their psychology

00:31:19.200 biology and for that matter for those of us who believe in such a thing their soul that is not a

00:31:25.280 controversial statement that only became a controversial statement because of a bunch of 12 year olds on twitter

00:31:30.560 and other activists trying to turn it into a controversial statement and i'm not afraid to

00:31:37.120 say that out loud because i've had people on the left on my show too who have been cancelled just for

00:31:42.160 stating the obvious we are not robots you can't just interchange our parts and make make people think

00:31:48.720 it's going to be all okay that's wrong that's evil that's not true and a discussion full stop coming

00:31:55.040 back to the federal election the tories could probably take a majority government literally

00:32:01.920 by proposing a total ban and stop on all transgender surgery below the age of 18.

00:32:11.520 i i'm not joking i'm not joking i don't think that's a flamboyant thing to say at all or an

00:32:15.600 ostentatious thing i say no children are children and we are not going to allow for there to be agenda

00:32:22.960 that literally is life-altering irreversible damage in the realm of the most most central

00:32:28.960 part of your human being as a material being like forget us who believe in souls you people

00:32:34.080 who don't believe in souls like what you are is a self-reproducing machine with another human being

00:32:42.560 right that's what you are you're an organism that produces more of you that's like the central

00:32:48.000 tenant of what you are that's evolution 101 and so if you don't make more of yourself you will cease to

00:32:54.880 exist as a people as a species and that's it you want to pass on your culture your values everything

00:33:02.400 else you need to reproduce you can't reproduce if you are going to surgically alter your genitalia

00:33:10.080 and your and your sexually reproductive system you can't and i don't think you have the right i don't 0.99

00:33:17.920 think anyone has the right to sterilize a child even a child who's asking to be sterilized but then again

00:33:25.200 how would a child know what sterilization means like a child asking for you to murder him or her

00:33:33.360 because they're having a bad day children can't consent to suicide any more than they can consent to

00:33:38.160 the puberty blockers they don't understand and the least we can do is ban the inalterable irreversible 0.98

00:33:49.600 damage that such fooling around with such dangerous ideas could produce when it comes to children you're

00:33:58.320 an adult you want to make that decision as an adult i don't agree with it but this is canada and i can't

00:34:03.600 do anything about it good for you whoop-de-doo but children deserve their innocence they have a right

00:34:11.680 to their innocence and ripping that away from them through indoctrination and confusing them giving

00:34:18.800 them gender dysphoria through absolutely bizarre bizarre ideologically charged rhetoric from the pulpit of 0.99

00:34:27.200 sex ed or teachers or your principal or whatever or assemblies with bringing in a guest speaker

00:34:36.560 that's all wrong and it all leads one place which is children fundamentally

00:34:40.960 being unhappy with themselves and from that unhappiness

00:34:46.320 absolute tragedy ensues

00:34:50.080 so if the federal conservatives are looking for

00:34:53.280 an issue that would literally land the majority that's not the only issue but that would be a big

00:34:59.280 one that is an issue that could easily knock over some toss-up writings motivate the base to come

00:35:06.480 out harder motivate the base to get more organized and spend more money on donations and totally change

00:35:12.720 the tone when it comes to aaron's uh rhetoric and and symbology so that was kind of our our opening bit

00:35:19.920 there uh we've kind of cruised along for a little while here let's let's jump into some of the

00:35:25.280 things that my dear producer has uh produced for us when it comes to uh the election let's start with

00:35:31.680 this let's talk about election integrity canadian voters are likely to face foreign cyber interference

00:35:38.640 in the next election say cyber spice digital spy agency expects false narratives around voter fraud to

00:35:44.560 surface canadian voters are likely to face some form of foreign cyber interference ahead and during

00:35:51.040 the next federal election warns canada's cyber spy agency including false information about voter fraud

00:35:56.560 however that meddling is unlikely to match the scale and influence as seen in the u.s says the communications

00:36:02.560 uh increasing our threat cyber tools organizational capacity cyber activity against future federal

00:36:10.400 elections it says cyber threat actors will likely try to take advantage of any new covet 19 related changes

00:36:21.680 expect to an increase in mail-in ballots so i want to i want to stop dead here

00:36:27.760 and we're going to do we're going to observe two things okay so we've just read through this a

00:36:31.680 little bit and what is happening here it's important who is speaking and who are they speaking to

00:36:38.160 so we have the head of or or a statement coming out of the cse great the connect communication security

00:36:45.840 establishment and it's being read from the report so it's not a person it's it's this establishment so

00:36:52.480 this is speaking on behalf of the entire this is speaking on the canadian equivalent of the cia

00:36:57.200 essentially right see like csis is is the big is the big guy but i mean this is speaking on behalf

00:37:03.760 of all canadian intelligence like that is to say our intelligence agencies and apparatuses which includes

00:37:08.640 the rcmp it includes csis it includes all sorts of different things it includes the army all those

00:37:15.200 pieces put together this person is speaking on behalf of all of them in the sense that they are making

00:37:20.000 a firm declaration a firm declaration on election integrity so we you know they people might be

00:37:29.040 sewing false stories about voter fraud about election integrity fraud about a lack of a lack of

00:37:35.600 transparency okay that's called salting the field that's called salting the field that's called

00:37:42.480 conditioning the argument you've you've already by the very way you framed your opening statement and

00:37:48.640 framed for and especially as an institution you're somebody who's in charge you have framed this in

00:37:55.440 some very very dark terms because you have essentially decided that well anybody saying it anybody saying

00:38:04.720 that there might be fraud or there might be something wrong is a foreign actor sowing dissent and quite 0.90

00:38:12.400 possibly a a betrayer to canada a traitor that's that's a statement

00:38:22.640 i for saying you know what i have some questions about the integrity of this election

00:38:29.120 could be essentially be said well i mean you're just a puppet of russia you're just a you know you 0.68

00:38:33.520 you are a foreign agent or being paid by foreign powers to influence canadians to uh make them doubt

00:38:41.760 the integrity of their elections which is funny because i was never really trying to do that but

00:38:45.280 now that you're saying it i mean i didn't really want to get paid to do that i wasn't really i wasn't

00:38:51.840 looking for uh foreign money in my bank account on that account but i'll take some free foreign money

00:38:56.160 if they want to because i do have questions about election integrity and i'm just asking those for free so

00:39:00.960 i didn't know i could get paid for it but let's see here that the issue took hold during the last

00:39:11.200 year's u.s election after then president donald trump made unfounded claims about widespread voting fraud

00:39:17.680 okay yeah there it is and that's the cbc for you i'm going to zoom in a little bit for you guys

00:39:30.960 what happened during the 2020 election we need to step back for a second we need to be honest about

00:39:41.360 something here that's another thing that canadians don't envy about the american election the american

00:39:46.400 system is completely decentralized when it comes to how they elect their presidents and how they elect

00:39:53.280 to their national government and at one point i explained to somebody that everybody from touch

00:39:59.200 screens to carrier pigeons were on the table when it came to a u.s election and that is not really an

00:40:05.680 overstatement american elections are an absolute debacle because they have no federal agency that

00:40:15.120 conducts their federal election i'm not a big state guy i'm not i don't want there to be a federal

00:40:22.240 agency for everything and i think plenty of the federal agencies in canada that are alphabet soups

00:40:26.880 could go away i don't think they have i don't think they have a lot of legitimacy we need to gather

00:40:33.040 our revenue which should be streamlined and we need to vend those services which people are entitled to

00:40:39.760 in canada and we need to do that in an efficient manner as well outside of that a lot of what the

00:40:46.480 government does is wasteful and a lot of it's paper pushing and a lot of it's a lack of accountability

00:40:50.560 and we all know that however in america because they have that suspicion about everything they

00:40:57.520 have failed to complete that one brutal task of simply creating a federal elections commission

00:41:04.320 that would take care of their federal elections and help ensure there was integrity

00:41:10.080 in america you can get a mail-in ballot not by your own request but by you know the the ballot

00:41:18.160 master general whatever the postmaster general in your local district declaring that everybody gets

00:41:22.640 a paper ballot everybody gets one sent to their house and the elections commissioners in the united

00:41:27.840 states in several swing states and several battleground ridings they did this and this is where things get

00:41:35.440 hairy in canada to get a mail-in ballot you must ask for it

00:41:42.320 it that's it full stop you must request a mail-in ballot you cannot have it just randomly sent to

00:41:51.040 your house it doesn't just come in the mail and it can't be mishandled by someone and it can't be

00:41:56.480 picked up by someone and filled out on your behalf because that person would have to know when it's

00:42:00.800 arriving in your mailbox if you send out 10 million ballots via mail that are unsolicited then

00:42:09.360 i just have to keep visiting postal boxes and i will find ballots won't i i'll find them because

00:42:15.840 they they'll be there and i'm not saying as a post i'm not even saying as a postman i'm not trying to

00:42:20.400 denigrate our postman or question their integrity i'm just saying is i mean those postal boxes are not

00:42:25.520 super well secured you break into one and you don't even steal anyone's bill or check you're just

00:42:30.640 stealing their ballot you grab their ballot you fill it out on their behalf you get enough of them going

00:42:34.640 you have five ballots 10 ballots 30 about that's enough to swing an election in some of the tightest

00:42:38.720 writings we have in this country let alone the united states let alone the fact that it does seem

00:42:44.800 to be that there were a lot of extra extra ballots returned where there shouldn't have been there were

00:42:49.200 ballots there are people who never received their ballot i'm someone who's never received a ballot

00:42:53.600 before here's here's a free take for you i never received my ballot for the leadership election where

00:43:01.520 bernier lost to sheer so that was an election ago for for and when andrew sheer became leader of the

00:43:08.400 party i lost like i didn't get my ballot like i never i never saw it they had my address i had been

00:43:15.600 a paid up member i told i wanted my ballot or whatever and i never got my ballot i'm not saying

00:43:22.080 somebody filled that out on my behalf and made sheer beat bernier i would have voted for bernier but

00:43:27.440 and probably trust but the the fact of the matter is we're here at the end of these things and

00:43:39.600 what's the point like i i didn't get my ballot how many other people didn't get their ballot i heard

00:43:44.640 that story a couple of times with different people do i think it's a conspiracy necessarily

00:43:48.320 no i don't think there was a conspiracy in the leadership election of the conservatives which

00:43:54.160 took place in 2017 i don't think that there was a conspiracy to make sure that me and a bunch of

00:44:03.120 other conservatives didn't get their ballots however i do believe that the fact that we didn't get our

00:44:11.520 ballots shows just how stupid mass balloting is by sending it through the mail because you can't tell

00:44:19.440 who is going to get their ballot and who isn't if they solicit their ballot and it's putting through

00:44:24.160 kind of secured mail it's delivered people fill out their ballot and then send it back that's different

00:44:29.920 that's how donald trump voted for himself and he was voting from florida he was using his address in

00:44:34.800 florida to vote for himself which good for him because he wasn't going to win he wasn't going to win dc

00:44:39.600 so he spent his vote on a swing state good for him the point that i'm trying to drive home here

00:44:46.240 is that they're salting the field america does have voter fraud problems it's always had voter fraud

00:44:53.040 problems and it won't stop having voter fraud problems until it gets its federal system

00:45:02.240 that russia china and iran named groups and individuals connected to russia china and iran

00:45:09.600 have conducted most of the observed cyber security against democrat democratic processes

00:45:17.440 okay so basically they're telling us that we are going to be attacked by iran and china

00:45:23.680 and russia and told that our election isn't safe and secure

00:45:35.840 all i have to say to you whoever you are listening

00:45:41.040 is that if you want election integrity do your best to show up in person to vote even with the

00:45:49.040 pandemic so recently behind us and if anybody at any level of government says that you just mail out

00:45:56.880 all the ballots and have them all sent back in no no people must request with proper identification and proof

00:46:11.200 mail in ballots no unsolicited ballots unsolicited ballots are a gateway

00:46:18.640 into voter fraud a total gateway it's wrong and and i a final point i'm going to drive home here when

00:46:26.080 it comes to the question of election integrity the other day at we were at a we were at a fabric store

00:46:32.880 we were grabbing some stuff from a fabric store and my beloved and i and uh one of her helpful co-conspirators

00:46:40.320 who's doing helping with all the decorating and that sort of stuff and so we're at this fabric store

00:46:44.720 and they refused to take uh my better half's 50 bill and she looked at them and one of the reasons

00:46:52.400 i'm marrying this person she's she has she has real gumption on stuff like this she stands her ground 1.00

00:46:57.520 brilliant she's much braver than i am in many respects and she looked them dead in the eye she

00:47:01.920 said you can't not take my money that's illegal like this is for all debts public and private this is legal

00:47:10.160 tender you are not allowed to refuse legal tender and the person just looked back at her and said

00:47:15.760 i am like we have been getting fakes we've been getting counterfeit 50 bills so i'm not taking your

00:47:22.720 money and they had a back and forth for a bit and eventually you know my beloved paid with credit

00:47:32.240 uh she later reflected that it was only going to be about seven bucks out so she should have just left

00:47:36.320 the 50 there and said i'm taking my stuff here's the 50 dollars if you want to cash it cash it if you

00:47:41.920 don't uh charge me with shoplifting go ahead and see what happens it's legal tender keep the evidence by

00:47:48.960 the way um so i i guess that what i'm trying to drive home there is if people are capable of faking

00:47:57.360 50s why do we not think that people are capable of faking ballots now people have to say well what

00:48:05.040 are the stakes well the stakes are i mean in the united states the stakes were exorbitantly high

00:48:10.960 right they were they were as high as they would get right like was trump really the disruptor we all

00:48:15.840 think he was only partially he was really just a gadfly he was really just a digital gadfly on

00:48:21.440 twitter and everything else to try and get us to think again about questions of class inequality

00:48:27.920 foreign influence china domestic manufacturing the working man the working family working class

00:48:36.080 what it means to be an american what it means to have a national sense of pride a national strategy and

00:48:41.120 world world peace in the sense of foreign foreign policy should result in less wars not more of them

00:48:54.160 that's what donald trump was for i hope that we see another trumpian like character again in america

00:49:00.400 in the not so distant future but we can't have that in canada we've talked about that before you can't

00:49:06.720 have a trump-like figure in canada or bernie sanders in canada why because they would never be allowed

00:49:11.520 to run because the leader of the party would rule them out cast them out cross out their name not

00:49:17.360 sign their nomination papers a long time ago that's that's how that works in canada now and

00:49:22.160 stewart parker's talked to us about that a lot lately but let's get back on track here

00:49:28.400 if we can fake 50 bills we can fake an election ballot okay like it can't be that hard and i don't

00:49:36.800 know who's passing out 50 bills at the fabric store like why that's the place you're spending your money

00:49:43.760 or for fake 50s i don't like i don't know what you're doing i don't know why you need to buy your fabric

00:49:51.120 with fake money but i mean i guess not not even good for you but like i'm impressed that you got

00:49:58.880 away with it and i but i'm just still confused that you got away with it at at a fabric store

00:50:04.480 like i don't know why you wanted to do that but don't bother but election integrity it's not rocket

00:50:11.360 science it's not rocket science it's very easy to have that go wrong um

00:50:21.120 the federal what is this is this about canada or is it about the other one

00:50:26.160 yeah okay a couple of things that are going to be uh featured in

00:50:35.600 featured in the election

00:50:38.720 let's let's uh let's grab something else to screen share here uh let's talk a little bit about the green

00:50:44.720 party again this has been an interesting thing to watch we'll talk about it more tomorrow as well with

00:50:48.640 our with our contributors but the green party is a bit of an interesting thing to watch for a couple

00:50:54.160 of reasons because the green party is the green party is what a lot of both progressives and conservatives

00:51:06.320 wish their parties could be it's it's a reinvigoration of the progressive conservative idea and and i'm only

00:51:13.680 commenting on this again how much does a green party mean to western canadians and stuff not that much

00:51:18.000 though admittedly some of their seats are out here some of the only places they've managed to get

00:51:21.120 elected right out here british columbia and then of course back in new brunswick but of course that

00:51:27.280 person walked across the floor and went to the liberals which is not going to bode well for them so

00:51:36.080 the turmoil in the green party we've talked about this a little bit when it comes to capture and that

00:51:39.600 sort of thing but like the green party i guess in a sense is still a small enough place with thin

00:51:43.600 enough walls that we can actually hear what's happening over there right like

00:51:50.240 sometimes the big rich guy gets divorced and you're like wow i really wonder what was going on

00:51:55.280 there like you think she would have stayed with him just for the money and i mean obviously she 1.00

00:51:59.440 has a right to some of the money due to our laws and stuff like that and we'll see how well she does 1.00

00:52:02.800 and see what kind of lawyer she can afford but sometimes the rich guy does get divorced but it comes 1.00

00:52:06.800 out of nowhere because he was up in his house which is a few meters back from the street and is a

00:52:12.560 nice big house with big thick walls and there's no way to know what's going inside of there until

00:52:16.720 one day you see a moving truck but the house hasn't been sold and the green party is the opposite

00:52:23.360 of that the green party while it looks a little bit more polished is like one of the tiny homes that

00:52:27.920 you see in some of these lots now there's tiny homes there are these half these half lots instead of

00:52:34.640 it being the broad side of the house facing the street it's the narrow side of the house faces

00:52:38.640 the street and the people inside of it are are a little bougie and a little posh and a little bit

00:52:44.720 you know bohemian and they're kind of yuppie and and but they are they you know in between what

00:52:50.720 they're smoking and what they're drinking they they can get a little raucous and so we are actually

00:52:55.600 hearing the the dirty laundry being discussed of the green party out loud whether the quiet parts

00:53:02.080 being said out loud and it's kind of an interesting thing to see because you don't get to see that in

00:53:07.120 many places anymore elizabeth may speaks out about rumors swirling around green party turmoil well 0.99

00:53:13.680 let's take a look here former green leader elizabeth may is speaking out after months of 0.57

00:53:18.960 near silence on the internal strife engulfing the party she headed for 13 years the statement to media

00:53:24.800 tuesday afternoon may says rumors about her involvement in party power struggles have pushed her

00:53:30.160 clarify that she has no role in the green's governing bodies members of the federal council

00:53:35.440 which governs most of the party's affairs have clashed with leader anime paul for months over

00:53:41.280 issues that range from the israeli-palestine conflict to staff layoffs and funding for paul's

00:53:45.440 riding campaign in toronto center may says she did have first-hand knowledge of green mp jennica atwin's

00:53:51.680 defections to liberals last month a loss of one-third of the green caucus that may call painful but no

00:53:57.360 cause for misplaced anger blame and name calling may says she fully supports the green party adding

00:54:02.640 simply that our leader is anime paul and only our members have the authority to call that into

00:54:06.640 question falling short of a full-throated endorsement statement comes a day after paul held a news

00:54:11.840 conference to show her party has pushed a period of tumultuous acrimony ahead of a likely push past it

00:54:19.040 ahead of a likely election this year

00:54:24.560 interesting well we're getting to see that dirty laundry out loud and well outside people are talking

00:54:30.640 about it people are saying it people are going through it and we're getting to hear it because

00:54:34.880 the green party is still just a small enough place that and but thin enough walls that you can you can

00:54:39.920 hear that stuff so that's interesting um let's take a look here a few more things on the canadian

00:54:47.120 election apparently mark carney was going to run for the liberals but he's not going to run for them

00:54:52.400 anymore until this federal election is over um so that mostly because i think he doesn't want the press

00:55:01.200 of doing it so let's uh zoom in on that a little bit

00:55:10.000 so who was mark carney well we all remember mark carney was says he won't run won't be in on the

00:55:15.840 liberal ticket if there's an election this fall the former governor of the bank of canada and the

00:55:19.520 bank of england told the canadian press he's made commitments to help in the global fight against

00:55:24.320 climate change you can't walk away from them just a few months before a crucial united states conference

00:55:29.760 oh i see so he busy he busy with climate change stuff he doesn't have time for us little people well

00:55:40.000 i think the real reason mark carney isn't going to run i don't know if he necessarily

00:55:47.440 wasn't going to win maybe they did some polling and said oh it's it's iffy

00:55:53.920 i doubt that they would have put him into a safe seat i think the reason that he's really not going

00:55:58.560 to run is he doesn't want to come in until it's more clear that trudeau is going to leave

00:56:10.320 um it's between mark carney and uh oh my goodness what is her name

00:56:18.560 why can't i remember who it is trudeau's cabinet

00:56:21.040 there we go christy christy christy freeland and of course um the other one who's the other one

00:56:43.120 not christy freeland and katherine and katherine mckenna mckenna and freeland basically run the

00:56:48.880 government we both know that uh in many respects and justin trudeau has kind of deferred it to them

00:56:55.760 in their entirety and so between freeland mckenna and carney that's who is going to take the next

00:57:03.920 liberal leadership position which we all know right that's not that's not news we all know that

00:57:09.280 the question is when is justin going to leave he's very young he's extremely young he's one of the

00:57:14.560 one of the youngest prime ministers we've ever had and so the question becomes do will justin

00:57:20.320 leave will he stay what is he going to stick around um and i think that justin trudeau isn't

00:57:26.800 going to stay very long after this last mandate they're going to ride his name one more time he'll

00:57:30.960 have had his three elections he won three times which is what you need in canada to prove that you belong

00:57:36.880 with with with chretchen you belong with trudeau senior and you belong with john a and you belong

00:57:42.720 with uh i don't think louis saying the wrong did that but i think king did uh mckenzie king

00:57:51.600 and uh i think i think that's exactly it um i think that trudeau will take his third mandate

00:58:00.800 do a victory lap stay in parliament for a couple of months and then he'll leave and that'll leave

00:58:06.080 things wide open for kind of reformation of the liberal party into a kind of perfectly technocratic

00:58:14.960 machine we're this is interesting like i we're gonna get back into uh we'll we'll get back into

00:58:22.560 the mark carney thing in a second but i i've been talking about technocracy on the show well because

00:58:27.520 the show started in covet right i've been talking about technocracy on the show for a long time and

00:58:33.840 one of the things i want to get into here for just a second is like if we're headed back into the 1920s

00:58:39.760 again if we're if the 2020s are going to be like the 1920s one of the things that happened throughout

00:58:44.000 the 20s and the 30s was this bizarre pivot into right we saw that fascism and collectivism and

00:58:50.320 communism and totalitarianism but part of that was a pivot into you know what we see in art deco and

00:58:56.000 everything else of that time period that that was the great the great kind of burgeoning of

00:59:02.240 industrialization that was coming after the war so the war had kind of put them through another

00:59:06.960 industrial intensity right because even up until world war one 50 of the population of all western

00:59:12.800 countries still lived in the country they still lived in the rural parts of their country because it

00:59:18.480 still took an enormous amount of manpower to make the food to feed the world and after world war

00:59:24.880 one that slowly changed that chain well that definitively changed the city became the new

00:59:31.520 center there were the small towns started to empty and the big towns started to get big really big

00:59:39.760 and and if you go through old towns not the ones that got bombed to the ground in europe though

00:59:45.360 there's still a few pieces of them left that you can see that but if you go through old towns

00:59:49.600 particularly in the united states you'll see just so much evidence of what happened in the 1920s and

00:59:53.920 we all know that the 20s and the 30s right some of the skyscrapers all that sort of stuff happened

00:59:58.880 what am i getting on about what i'm getting on about is that into the 20s and in the 30s and then

01:00:05.360 the 40s right the liberal party of canada headed up by mckenzie king right comes into being and becomes

01:00:11.840 kind of this perfectly technocratic entity that really was almost indistinguishable from the non-genocidal

01:00:19.840 side of nazi germany it had ministers uh who were the ministers of everything like cd how it had a

01:00:27.760 completely centralized plan of how to adjudicate things in canada it aggrandized itself in a huge way

01:00:36.320 including the custom scandals we all remember king versus bing king had the ostentatiousness to fight

01:00:42.800 the vice regal representative of course his governor bing and to essentially fundamentally

01:00:49.120 undermine the governor general for the rest of eternity he won that fight and to this day nobody

01:00:54.560 takes the governor general very seriously um and and then especially as we get into the war

01:01:02.240 and mckenzie king continues to run the war effort again in a very technocratic way

01:01:07.040 and finally into the post-war era he essentially sets up canada as a vassal state to the united states

01:01:13.520 as a branch plant system so put your your wartime factories are now going to become consumer time

01:01:19.760 factories let's build cars here let's build planes here this is where the haviland comes from right the

01:01:24.000 beaver and the otter and the twin otter all that comes together we still build some of the havilands right

01:01:29.200 the buffalo the water bomber all of that comes together and canada is is turned into this perfectly

01:01:40.480 kind of technocratic state uh a model a model state a model technocracy in post-war era now

01:01:49.120 what's happening right now with the liberal party of canada if they successfully rebrand if they've

01:01:56.320 recaptured the imaginations of canadians right because they have this charismatic leader now

01:02:00.560 he had no depth and almost no intelligence he doesn't know what he's doing he has no idea what's

01:02:05.520 going on if people even think he has brilliant electoral strategy he's a little bit of a strategic

01:02:09.520 thinker when it comes to like how to be popular i guess but ultimately he has handlers handlers

01:02:13.840 handlers handlers people are telling him what to do every day all the time they're guiding him through

01:02:17.760 things using his name as cover using his name to get him elected now at some point that's got to

01:02:24.960 give because i mean whether it's the scandals that are coming out of parliament and his uh inability

01:02:29.920 to keep it in his pants which is just a statement of fact um there's no need to get into any proper

01:02:36.320 accusations on account but but the truth of the matter is that our prime minister is not a chaste man

01:02:41.360 and not a chaste man even for uh the proper side of the species um our our prime minister and and for

01:02:49.680 that matter the the alienation of his wife because we have to remember for a time there sophie was living away

01:02:54.560 from him um probably because of his proclivities uh and also because quite frankly i mean she's

01:03:02.000 beautiful she's brilliant she can she can do what she wants and and uh she could definitely get very 1.00

01:03:07.920 far in life without having to use him she she has her own background her own money her own legacy

01:03:14.640 but one way or another again the handler stepped in managed to pull sophie back into the fray managed to 0.99

01:03:19.840 say hey be a good wife be a nice wife help the prime minister get re-elected help help justin out

01:03:25.680 and so they did but hopefully his marriage doesn't end i don't want anyone's marriage to end but

01:03:33.680 he's been prime minister now for a few years he'll be prime minister for another two maybe maybe three

01:03:39.360 probably two after this election well if one is three mandates and he can go off into the sunset

01:03:46.640 leaving his party in the hands of honestly far more competent people who i still don't trust but

01:03:52.720 far more competent people such as christia freeland mckenna uh and then of course carney who will enter

01:03:59.600 politics just a little while just as he leaves because the king makers have decided that carney deserves a

01:04:06.720 place in government that's the thing about canada canada is a strange place it's it's basically a one

01:04:18.480 horse town uh and the one horse is the liberal horse the kind of half donkey thing in the corner that's

01:04:24.640 half mule half donkey half bizarre that we call the conservative party it really does make an ass of

01:04:30.080 itself most of the time and it doesn't know what to do it doesn't know how to gallop like a horse

01:04:33.920 doesn't know how to look prim and proper it doesn't look know how to look competent and strong

01:04:37.920 it just it's a workhorse it'll work conservatives know how to work and conservative governments

01:04:43.920 are hard-working governments there's no question of that but it just looks goofy it looks silly it looks

01:04:51.280 pathetic and so and so until conservatives not just improve their image in general but just

01:04:56.800 come off as not just a workhorse but a competent one a competent confident intelligent insightful

01:05:02.960 visionary workhorse they're not going to get anywhere and with respect to what's going on

01:05:09.680 here with carney we're going to bring that back into the stream so apparently he's hanging out

01:05:14.640 doing climate change stuff while he while he's busy right it's just a crucial conference i thought long

01:05:19.600 and hard on this because i believe strongly in public service and in the government's agenda

01:05:24.000 which i fully support in the end despite the temptation running and the wrestling with it

01:05:29.520 uh commitment to commitment so he'll be stuck with stuff like that critical his work will be crucial to

01:05:38.720 the success of the un conference known as cop 26 it's a girl time in the cop 26 cop 26 made commitments

01:05:48.240 da-da-da-da-da carney did not rule out running if there was another time

01:05:54.800 infrastructure katherine announced so she would not see grief election in ottawa said okay that's interesting

01:06:01.520 uh prime political real estate that could become a laundry pad for carney

01:06:07.600 especially in that ottawa south david mcgintier canada carlton karen mccarran step aside uh open up their

01:06:16.000 spots for carney still bank a governor going 2012 quietly for the idea of leadership run

01:06:21.520 recorded by liberals desperately searching for a new savior after the 2011 election flame out

01:06:28.640 he spoke promoting a new kind of calendar combines the pursuit of profit with social purpose

01:06:33.040 all righty well

01:06:36.560 that's carney

01:06:37.280 i don't know what to say to that i i think that i think the thing with carney is that

01:06:46.720 he's a globalist and uh and he's a he's a perfect technocrat and i i have to admit that if if we have

01:06:53.760 to be stuck with the liberal party for as long as we're going to be stuck with them until the conservatives

01:06:58.000 get their crap together i think that i would definitely take a carney over a trudeau because 0.60

01:07:04.880 the thing with trudeau is that he's like he's terrifyingly egotistical and he also has no sense

01:07:10.720 of of values he has no values like he doesn't cling to his faith at all in for values he doesn't do

01:07:16.720 anything for his values and so it's it's just he has no sense of of morality and ethics uh that might

01:07:23.840 guide his his governance um he's not even good at being a bad governor you know he he just does

01:07:29.360 whatever his handlers tell him to do and his handlers always tell him the same thing which is

01:07:33.360 is increase increase your increase your spending and keep virtue signaling and i don't like that

01:07:40.320 carney i think understands the value of a dollar to a point i mean he ran two banks you'd hope

01:07:45.840 that he would know how much money you have and how much money you don't have and then how much money

01:07:50.880 you can spend i i would hope for that but i have doubts i have doubts i i mean he gets paid either way

01:07:58.560 right so if he overspends our money if he doesn't overspend our money who knows let's uh let's talk a

01:08:05.280 little bit more about at least one issue that's going to be pretty close to the hearts of western

01:08:09.360 canadians and that is of course the gun buyback so gun owners hold signs as they participate in

01:08:21.760 in a rally organized by the ccfr against the government state gun rules and that was in september of 2020

01:08:35.760 i'm starting to get better uh after my late nights guarding the cathedral from would-be

01:08:41.840 arsonists but i'm still a little bit tired i might take another nap today because i gotta be on again

01:08:46.800 tonight at like three in the morning gun buyback a huge taxpayer boondoggle at the worst possible

01:08:53.600 time taxpayer advocacy group the federal government's plan to buy back newly banned guns

01:08:58.800 will cost a lot more than its initial estimate says a tax advocacy group the cost could be hundreds of

01:09:04.240 millions of dollars more than what we were sold uh sold on said franco turzano a director with the ctf

01:09:11.760 really this has the markings the makings or a huge taxpayer boondoggle which would be coming at the

01:09:17.760 worst possible time parliamentary budget officer release report at the end of june indicating that

01:09:24.160 the number of affected firearms is roughly 150 000 and 518 according to the canadian sports arms and

01:09:32.960 ammunition the ccaaa i think that used to be the cc the c ssa i don't know why this is c

01:09:40.800 saa but oh well depending on the actual number of effective firearms buyback take-up rate the

01:09:47.440 pricing structure the estimated cost of compensation could be as high as 756 million if all gun owners

01:09:54.320 identified by the c saa participate in the buyback

01:10:02.160 a billion dollars because by the time it's administered right always a quarter of like it

01:10:06.720 take some things by a third or by a quarter and then add it to it to just know what it's going

01:10:11.120 to take to administer something right because that's you had a lot of people's paper to push

01:10:15.840 right you got a lot of work to do what about capture what about having to do follow up right

01:10:21.520 all the rest of it and i actually you know here's something so

01:10:25.360 my my dearest is a uh is you know works for works for the canadian government and a lot of what she 1.00

01:10:35.040 does is following up with people uh to try and see what's going on and where where the money is

01:10:40.560 that they owe so i'm trying to imagine for a moment like i mean that's bad enough but that's but that's

01:10:47.840 like taxation and like taxation is taxation do i agree with how much we get paid we get we get taxed

01:10:53.200 this country no i don't but death and taxes right like nobody's going to argue that point so

01:11:02.000 the the i'm trying to imagine getting a phone call that says hi my name is

01:11:09.040 sherry and i work with the canadian you know canadian regulations around firearms right i work with the

01:11:18.480 uh firearms board of canada it's like that or even the rcmp i hi i i'm i'm sherry i'm calling you from

01:11:26.080 on behalf of the rcmp to let you know that you we need you to turn in your gun you'll be given your

01:11:30.960 compensation i try to imagine that phone call i'm trying to imagine that back and forth i'm trying to

01:11:35.920 imagine what somebody might say to that person if they were really upset um and for that matter we know

01:11:42.800 they're armed so i i just don't see that going well it's one thing when you're being told hi i'm an

01:11:49.520 auditor with the cra or hi i'm with uh bc revenue agencies or hi this is this is impark and you owe

01:11:56.880 us 30 dollars in tickets now it's 300 in tickets because we're jerks uh yeah i i get that but but

01:12:03.760 again calling a person most likely a man and a lot of people who work for the government are women so you 0.73

01:12:10.560 have a woman on the phone calling a man telling him that they're going to take his gun away and

01:12:15.440 they're giving him less less than market value for it i see that going badly i see that being a really

01:12:23.840 really negative conversation uh and just one more thing that's going to add to the problems of of the

01:12:29.680 federal election um the gun buyback program is a huge boondoggle but at the same time i don't think

01:12:34.800 i've even heard anything from the conservatives about this it's been totally silent on this question

01:12:39.680 so get rid of that

01:12:46.160 the last thing that we're going to get into here is uh the idea of canada's history so obviously a lot

01:12:53.520 of canadian history is under attack right now because quite frankly canadians never knew their

01:12:58.960 history to begin with and now somebody's actually bothering to erase it and now suddenly we're all up in

01:13:04.880 arms that might sound kind of cynical but the truth is that canadians didn't know their history very

01:13:09.840 well to start with and now we're finally getting into a point where canadians need to be honest

01:13:15.280 about how bad things have gotten and that is to say in current history in our current civilization

01:13:21.200 and so they're looking to the past to save them and there's some values back there and the other

01:13:25.520 side is looking to the past to burn it down because obviously that's why things are bad today is

01:13:29.760 because of what happened yesterday it's nonsense erasing and falsifying canada's history jeopardizes

01:13:36.560 the underpinnings of society say historians as the trend of removing symbols of canada's past

01:13:44.400 and renaming buildings and streets grows histories historians warn of the consequences

01:13:49.680 of attempts to misrepresent or erase the country's history if you control the past you control the

01:13:55.360 present and the future the aim of those who want to control the past either obliterating it or attaching

01:14:01.280 shame to those who cling to the past is a desire to clear the public space to wipe it clean of

01:14:05.680 symbols and mythology and narratives or replace it with something else

01:14:09.680 it's an old trick it's an old trick if you want to shape the future go after a country's history

01:14:24.240 the history of a country the legacy of a family

01:14:28.400 we do this all the time i want to imagine i want you to take two two families maybe even their siblings

01:14:34.480 right so the two brothers are siblings and one of them manages to get married and stay married and

01:14:41.360 the other one gets divorced now the children from the stay married family provided that it's not an 0.94

01:14:48.640 abusive household that just didn't result in divorce they're going to grow up believing like

01:14:55.680 their parents love them and they love that their parents love each other and that stability

01:15:00.720 in the family is a fundamental this is reality that's what happens that's the default position

01:15:07.360 the children on the other side are going to grow up thinking that families are inherently unstable

01:15:13.040 perhaps even unsafe right and that you can't trust anybody because hey even mom and dad got divorced

01:15:18.000 that's not good and finally if either of those spouses those former spouses begins to

01:15:24.400 denigrate the other one and shape the narrative around that child's mind right

01:15:29.120 they're going to think that part of them is wrong your father is such a bastard your father is such a

01:15:36.720 bad person i hate your father your father carouses your father right like you know even now that we're 0.95

01:15:42.720 not together anymore he carouses and whatever the same thing going the other way your mother is such 1.00

01:15:46.960 a b word a lot of other words we won't say on the show um your mother never loved me your mother

01:15:53.680 your mother never was was comely and never never cared uh your mother nagged me to death you hear 0.95

01:16:01.520 that enough times from either spouse former spouse ex-spouse and what's going to happen inside of that

01:16:06.960 kid's head is they're going to start to believe that they are part bad because they know that they're half 0.61

01:16:11.760 of one of the parent that's how it works even children understand without maybe necessarily knowing the

01:16:16.880 biology of it all one man plus one woman equals child provided that you know god blesses their union

01:16:25.600 and so that child's going to grow up thinking that they are half bad they are half evil they are half

01:16:33.760 something terrible and what we need to realize is that that's what we're doing every time we misinterpret

01:16:41.760 our history and tell people that hey your founding prime minister was a flaming racist and white 0.62

01:16:47.120 supremacist who should be killed if he ever walked the earth again but he won't walk the earth again

01:16:52.400 so instead we're going to tear down his statues and vandalize his home and his home riding and everything

01:16:57.760 else and i guess the point that i'm trying to draw here is that we need to be honest about the fact that

01:17:03.040 people aren't going to people people don't just tear down things just like tearing down things

01:17:14.000 if you tear something down somebody else is putting something up

01:17:18.560 and they're going to shape that narrative to the best of their ability absolutely they are and if you

01:17:26.080 don't if you don't do very strategic planning around that you are you know in for a world of pain a world of hurt

01:17:39.600 the fact of the matter is that

01:17:45.520 falsifying and erasing our history is a guaranteed way of creating an abusive present because if we were

01:17:53.920 just abusive in the past and there's no virtue then why is there any point in having virtue now

01:18:01.760 when we redeem our our image of our parents in our past when we kind of see what was wrong but also

01:18:07.840 what was right when we take that cross on of cross of of interpreting your own story and doing your best

01:18:14.000 to intervene accurately but also redemptively then you can get somewhere but as a country that is just

01:18:22.960 completely lost its mind and has decided that it's somehow this racist genocidal juggernaut

01:18:33.760 when we still don't have the population to properly build an army can't even cover the face of our own

01:18:40.800 corner of the earth it's so vast and we are so small i'm not saying that bad things didn't happen

01:18:46.560 they did happen there was some really bad stuff that happened throughout the 20th century and before but

01:18:56.480 we canadians would do well to remember that we live in one of the most just just societies on earth and

01:19:05.760 anything less than that is simply us

01:19:14.400 denigrating ourselves in a way that it doesn't need to be

01:19:18.720 we've made mistakes but the answer is not just go and have

01:19:23.680 terribly negative things to say about our people about our time about who we are

01:19:34.080 well i think that's about the show for today uh it's been a bit of a long one for me um and i'm

01:19:46.960 thankful for everybody who has tuned in again this was pre-recorded and being pre-recorded makes it a

01:19:53.360 little bit different uh we don't have the comments we don't have the live interaction and uh some of that

01:20:00.080 energy i get from the crowd just isn't quite there but i am hopeful that people enjoy this pre-recorded

01:20:07.520 version of mountain standard time i hope that it felt fairly similar in flavor and candor again i

01:20:13.680 wanted to mention that i am officially going on hiatus as of the end of tomorrow's broadcast

01:20:21.200 well it'll be a recording as well i'm hopeful to have steward and aaron on

01:20:25.280 they are of course as always our our most faithful contributors and always give us an

01:20:32.880 interesting perspective uh maybe maybe just as i leave actually i'd like to give a little bit of a

01:20:38.240 defense to why i always uh always chosen or have had them as my most you know consistent people on

01:20:46.320 this show and i think that there was at least a couple of reasons one of them was if we're going

01:20:54.560 to talk about sovereignty we need to talk about it with all sides you can't we can't have western

01:21:00.320 canada go off into the nethers uh without without an honest discussion with our brothers and sisters

01:21:08.000 who do not share our perspective exactly i'd say most people who are sovereignists are probably right

01:21:13.280 wing there is such a thing as left-wing sovereignists and there is such a thing as left-wing

01:21:18.480 separatists and so and for that matter we have a left-wing separatist federal party and provincial

01:21:24.080 party in quebec so obviously separatism can be left-wing and right-wing so i wanted to have

01:21:33.520 that perspective on our show that was really important to me and they're also just blue chip

01:21:39.600 contributors like they've been they've done this for so long they can talk for an hour and have no

01:21:43.600 problem and they and they just provide good tv if you want to put it that way they provide good tv

01:21:47.760 but they're just they're very insightful people and i think another aspect of it all was that

01:21:53.920 there are also two people that are completely alienated from their side of the spectrum and

01:21:57.600 that's because they're still talking about class while everybody else is talking about race and and other

01:22:04.560 immutable characteristics that that separate us and divide us and and you can't i can't do anything

01:22:09.280 about the pigment of my skin right like i'm a status indian maybe for some people i look white passing

01:22:15.760 fine i don't care i'm a status indian i got a card in my pocket and my skin tone is of a certain tone

01:22:22.240 and that's how it is but i don't need to be treated because of my skin tone or because the card in my

01:22:26.720 pocket or whatever i need to be treated because of my own integrity and how i carry myself and

01:22:30.880 there are people who don't look anything like me who also suffer from maybe similar problems or

01:22:38.320 whatever and if we could all get together and unite around a similar issue and then fight for that issue

01:22:44.080 to be resolved what the left currently calls intersectionality but what used to be called

01:22:48.480 solidarity would occur and in that solidarity we would actually get some you know some change some

01:22:54.000 forward progress having them on the show helps articulate that a little better because they can

01:23:01.520 point out really well that that this is what's wrong this is what's wrong from that perspective

01:23:07.360 from the language of a different perspective and it's something that can then be used to help

01:23:12.640 understand things from our perspective which is further to the right and how we might achieve our

01:23:17.600 goals and our ends i think as a last point too um as was mentioned not too long ago on here

01:23:23.280 there's only there's only one group of people that are still talking about class and that is the right

01:23:35.760 race

01:23:38.640 race is totally dominating the left to the point where they're all in kind of an identitarian tizzy

01:23:43.600 and that's really bad because you can't change your race can't do anything about your race you're born

01:23:50.320 with it but you can do something about your behavior and you can do something about your social status

01:23:57.520 especially if you work with other people the same social status to elevate your social status or at

01:24:01.600 least get paid better for being on the bottom of the tiers or below the top and i think it's that simple

01:24:10.000 at least for me it is that's why i've had people of differing perspectives on this show quite frequently

01:24:16.000 but i'm thankful for uh these about 45 it'll be 46 episodes to be perfectly candid with you but i'm

01:24:26.480 thankful for these 40 45 46 episodes with the western standard uh that we've had we're going on hiatus

01:24:34.720 uh hopefully that hiatus comes to a close around september and i want to say from the bottom of my heart

01:24:43.200 uh again we do have one more show tomorrow but that's going to be with with guests but

01:24:48.160 the bottom of my heart i'm just deeply thankful for the opportunity i've been afforded here and finally

01:24:56.000 there is there is no path forward there is no path forward when it comes to what's going to happen

01:25:04.560 with canada and what's going to happen with with the west and for that matter what's going to happen

01:25:08.640 in your community without again i would use that word solidarity but also a a unification of purpose

01:25:15.840 and an agreement on values

01:25:19.360 if you really believe that sovereignty is the only way forward that's fine but

01:25:25.040 that's going to require communicating it and and explaining your position and explaining why

01:25:30.320 and and helping people understand and if there is one thing that is wrong in this world today

01:25:35.280 and throughout the entirety of the 20th century 21st century it is the breakdown in communication

01:25:44.000 we have to be able to communicate we can't communicate can't get anywhere

01:25:49.120 so i leave you with that thought we'll see you tomorrow for one last show before i go on hiatus

01:25:55.680 this was mountain standard time thank you so much for watching
