Western Standard - Nenshi’s legacy of lies

00:01:00.000 good day welcome to the cory morgan show here we are we're already into august summer's half over

00:01:15.900 yeah it just barely got going it seems to me but what can you do enjoy it while you can if you can

00:01:21.400 if the weather is good where you are because it's fleeting i'm in a grumpier than normal mood today

00:01:26.460 I'll get into a little more of that later in a bit. Yeah, lots of stuff going on. There always

00:01:31.320 is. Sadly, most of the news usually just doesn't seem to be good. There's good stuff occasionally,

00:01:35.040 but not enough for my liking. For those of you, I see Paradoxy checking in. The guys who were

00:01:39.300 watching it live, yeah, use that comment screen. Send comments towards me, towards my guests.

00:01:44.400 Ask questions. I mean, I don't necessarily read them all out on here, but I see them all and I

00:01:48.240 appreciate it. Just remember to stay civil with each other. We got lots of time to fight. We got

00:01:52.140 Twitter for that. I'll be talking to a guest in a short while. His name is Paul Coffey. He's a

00:01:57.000 school trustee in Manitoba, and they've been working hard to cancel him because, well, he's

00:02:03.020 been daring to speak his mind. That's not appropriate in today's world, so it'll be

00:02:07.820 interesting to discuss what's going on out there. I mean, it's kind of an unfortunately common story,

00:02:12.460 but we've got to expose and report on cancel culture, or we will end up canceled ourselves.

00:02:17.620 All right, so let's get going on what I'm, well, one of the things I'm going on about today, and that's one of my favorite fellas, Nahed Nenshi, former mayor of Calgary.

00:02:27.060 And yes, Nenshi has a history in Alberta, and much of it actually isn't very good.

00:02:31.640 He's trying to hide from his own political baggage as he chases the premiership, and he's resorting to lies to do so.

00:02:38.520 Being disingenuous is not new for Nenshi.

00:02:41.560 He initially got elected as the mayor of Calgary on a platform of being business friendly, and he was anything but.

00:02:46.680 Ninchy's relentless tax increases on city businesses actually drove owners to an unprecedented protest outside of Calgary's City Hall where they had to beg for tax relief.

00:02:56.140 The city was driving them right out of business.

00:02:58.940 Ninchy's frequent departures from the truth have landed him in legal hot water as well.

00:03:03.580 I mean, when Ninchy implied that Calgary businessman and philanthropist Cal Wenzel was an organized crime figure,

00:03:09.440 The resulting lawsuit left Calgarian taxpayers with a legal bill of nearly $300,000

00:03:14.100 until Ninchy could convince enough friends to pitch in and cover it for him.

00:03:18.820 One of those friends got a good contract, actually.

00:03:21.000 He apologized and retracted the statement, of course, but it was clear, you know,

00:03:24.920 he waited until he was sure he was going to lose that lawsuit.

00:03:27.080 He was obviously going to lose it.

00:03:28.840 Ninchy also shared a bunch of bizarre fabrications about Uber while he was riding in a Lyft car in Boston.

00:03:33.620 He lied and claimed the city of Calgary had tested the security screening of Uber

00:03:37.800 by getting sex offenders through the process.

00:03:40.080 I'm not even sure where he's going to say they came from,

00:03:41.900 what, sex offenders are us or something,

00:03:43.380 or maybe he just happens to know a few of them.

00:03:45.220 I don't know.

00:03:45.820 But it was utter BS, and when the video surfaced,

00:03:48.140 it looked like Nenshi was about to get his arse sued again.

00:03:50.620 Uber had been trying for years to get into the city of Calgary,

00:03:52.740 but they'd been getting strong resistance from Nenshi,

00:03:55.040 who appeared to be pretty beholden to the Calgary's taxi cartels.

00:03:58.940 But then when Uber was about to sue the mayor,

00:04:01.380 Uber was suddenly approved as a service in the city,

00:04:04.020 and the talk of the lawsuit dropped.

00:04:05.260 How many of negotiations change when you're about to be sued into oblivion?

00:04:09.140 Now, though, Ninchy's taken to lying about himself.

00:04:11.820 That is one of his favorite subjects, I guess.

00:04:13.760 Ninchy's biggest personal legacy and vanity project during his time as mayor

00:04:17.900 is the LRT expansion called the Green Line.

00:04:20.720 The problem is the Green Line has turned into another debacle.

00:04:23.440 The size of the project has shrunken to a small fraction of what the original scope was.

00:04:27.900 But the price tag has risen from $4.5 billion to $6 billion.

00:04:31.200 And meanwhile, they've pissed away $1.5 billion into it.

00:04:33.700 not an inch of track has been laid yet.

00:04:36.080 At this rate, it's going to be another decade

00:04:37.520 before the Green Line ever gets out of the city's downtown,

00:04:39.860 and the cost will probably double or triple by then.

00:04:41.740 It's an unmitigated disaster.

00:04:44.300 Ninchy's trying to distance himself from this mess

00:04:47.420 by making his own historical revisionism going on.

00:04:51.540 In 2015, Jason Kenney was a member of Parliament,

00:04:54.060 and he announced $1.5 billion federal dollars for the Green Line.

00:04:57.340 Ninchy at that time said the construction would begin in 2017

00:04:59.820 and be completed by 2024.

00:05:01.760 Yeah, that's Ninchy's words.

00:05:03.700 Now Ninchy's claiming, you know, he didn't say anything like that and that the funding was

00:05:07.160 unexpected in 2015. And that's what led to the delays in the construction. He was actually

00:05:11.140 blaming the feds for the delays in the construction because the feds gave him money.

00:05:14.700 There's some sweet logic for you, isn't it? The province kicked in another 1.5 billion as well,

00:05:18.740 by the way, despite having all that money to play with, nothing got done under Ninchy's management

00:05:23.560 while he's trying to blame other levels of government for the mess. It's simply BS.

00:05:27.680 Jason Kennedy didn't beat around the bush on Ninchy's claims. He said,

00:05:30.400 this is a broader problem Nahed has. He just makes stuff up. I think people call it gaslighting.

00:05:36.580 Then she'll say whatever he thinks he needs to say and pretend to be whatever he thinks he needs 0.64

00:05:39.740 to be if he thinks it'll bring him closer to power. He lies without hesitation and refuses

00:05:44.120 to take responsibility for anything that happened or didn't happen during his decade as a Calgary's

00:05:48.660 mayor. Then she is a known quantity to Calgarian voters. Unfortunately for him, he's known for

00:05:54.400 massive tax hikes, a dysfunctional city council, millions spent on a failed vanity Olympic bid,

00:05:59.120 a downtown with massive commercial vacancy that's overrun with addicts,

00:06:03.000 and a Green Line project that may prove to be the biggest municipal boondoggle in Canadians' history.

00:06:08.020 Instead of trying to explain or wear his legacy, Nenshi's trying to lie his way out of it.

00:06:12.240 He's counting on the short memory of voters to try and win his way into the premiership of Alberta.

00:06:17.100 Let's make sure we don't let Albertans forget what Nenshi's tenure as mayor was like.

00:06:22.340 It reflects how well he would government if he were to become the premier.

00:06:26.320 Either way, that's what's got me going on Nenshi today.

00:06:28.400 Let's see what else is going on on the news.

00:06:30.400 We've got Dave Naylor in studio to check in.

00:06:33.240 How's it going, Dave?

00:06:34.000 It's going well, Corey.

00:06:35.000 You should start saying what you really need.

00:06:36.880 Well, I try to sugarcoat it, you know.

00:06:38.760 Yeah, no kidding.

00:06:39.560 Holy cow.

00:06:41.040 Hey, big storm the other day.

00:06:42.880 Any damage in the compound?

00:06:45.080 On our way, no.

00:06:46.400 Just lots of terrified dogs and wet ground.

00:06:49.440 But no, Prittus didn't get it too badly.

00:06:51.060 My daughter lives down near Vulcan, and her brand new Honda Civic now looks like a big red golf ball.

00:06:57.700 so many dimples

00:06:59.540 it's just awful 1.00

00:07:01.500 well that's Alberta for you

00:07:03.980 yeah as you say lots of stuff

00:07:06.260 going on in the news

00:07:07.740 leading off with a story about

00:07:09.500 from my homeland actually United Kingdom

00:07:12.320 Canada has

00:07:14.040 issued a travel warning

00:07:15.640 to all places of England

00:07:17.180 this is because rioting that has followed

00:07:20.260 the murder of those

00:07:22.280 three girls down in

00:07:24.020 South End 1.00

00:07:25.560 So, ugly scenes up in England, and they're expecting lots more riots today.

00:07:32.020 Kind of a funny one, in my opinion.

00:07:34.040 You know, Air Canada, they always, you know, they can't get a plane to arrive on time.

00:07:38.400 They now want to run a high-speed train service between Quebec and Windsor.

00:07:44.120 And you know how all, you know, we have no high-speed trains at the moment in Canada.

00:07:48.560 You know, we're sadly falling behind, and Fair Canada runs it.

00:07:52.600 You know, they're guaranteed to lose your luggage.

00:07:54.160 So good luck to them.

00:07:57.540 Still a developing story out of Rocky View County, east of Calgary.

00:08:02.300 A tragic scene yesterday in which a Rocky View County worker by the name of Colin Howe was gunned down and shot.

00:08:11.560 Fortis worker was wounded in the attack.

00:08:15.500 Big RCMP manhunt for several hours.

00:08:18.500 RCMP still haven't released any details on what really happened.

00:08:21.880 And, you know, I'm not going to steal your thunder because I know you've got a lot to say on that later on.

00:08:26.800 The Internet is certainly ablaze with rumors.

00:08:31.680 I don't know if you saw the video yesterday of the anti-Israeli protesters in Toronto.

00:08:36.100 They were trying to block, I think, actually, you tweeted it.

00:08:38.920 They were trying to block, and a driver down there was having none of it and sort of didn't run them over but rushed by them.

00:08:47.260 And the driver was charged, you know, not charged yet.

00:08:50.940 he's been arrested charges to follow and of course none of these idiots blocking the the highways were

00:08:56.300 were charged at all got an interesting story on some poor guy in fort mcmurray remember during

00:09:01.980 the covid mask mandate you couldn't go anywhere without a mask so this guy is a battling cancer

00:09:08.060 and he had to go to a doctor's appointment in in calgary and he got a note from his doctor saying

00:09:13.740 he cannot wear a mask because he's got breathing difficulties despite that west jet said no you're

00:09:18.860 You're not coming on board unless you wear the mask.

00:09:21.300 So he was forced to drive 740 kilometers to visit his doctor.

00:09:24.940 So he sued for $40,000 and the tribunal tossed it out saying Air Canada has to do what they

00:09:32.520 has to do.

00:09:33.840 And big news this afternoon, Corey, bigger than the rumble in the jungle, it's the Paris

00:09:39.600 punch-up. 0.65

00:09:40.760 A punch-up in Paris where the Algerian female boxer with incredibly leaning male chromosomes 1.00

00:09:48.280 will no doubt pummel another hapless woman in certain victory and claim the gold medal 1.00

00:09:54.220 is probably rightfully somebody else's. 0.98

00:09:57.100 Well, I hope nobody gets hit in the balls in that match.

00:09:59.480 No, no, it's a big controversy. 1.00

00:10:02.580 And you know what, she is technically a woman, but she's got an unfair advantage 1.00

00:10:07.240 because she's got all these male chromosomes. 1.00

00:10:09.620 I think our Olympic reporter, Jen Hodgson, was saying something like 180% more powerful 0.99

00:10:14.640 because of these chromosomes.

00:10:16.480 So it's unfair, right?

00:10:18.160 it just truly is. So, you know, you have some sympathy for the Algerian, but not a lot as she 0.99

00:10:24.660 pummels the victims. It's been an odd case. I mean, this shows where the world's become, though, 0.90

00:10:29.560 where it even is in question than whether or not this was born a man or not, or if it's an unusual

00:10:33.920 condition or something like that. Like 10 years ago, we just, we would have assumed it's an

00:10:37.980 unusual condition because you never would have thought that somebody potentially male might

00:10:41.940 enter a female sport. No, and it initially came out, initial reports had her as transgendered,

00:10:46.960 which we're not wrong. She's got all her 1.00

00:10:48.880 lady bits, so to speak, and 0.99

00:10:50.780 just has this incredible male advantage. 1.00

00:10:54.120 Well,

00:10:54.780 I'm not going to watch the event. I don't like seeing

00:10:56.960 women get beat up. 1.00

00:10:58.820 You've got to cheer for the underdog. Yeah, I guess 1.00

00:11:01.000 so. All right. Well, thanks for the

00:11:02.980 update, Dave, and I'll talk

00:11:05.020 to you after the show. Maybe we'll finally have an update on what

00:11:07.020 the hell's going on with the murderers

00:11:09.060 on the loose in Alberta right now. I know you've got more

00:11:10.940 to say about that later. Oh, yes, I certainly will.

00:11:13.400 All right. Thanks.

00:11:13.980 so yes that is our news editor dave naylor lots of stories on the go guys constantly breaking

00:11:20.140 you know watch the site like we've been updating that story actually constantly as the facts come

00:11:24.580 out social media has been giving us a lot of the facts on what's been happening in alberta because

00:11:28.280 the rcmp won't uh go to westernstandard.news guys the stories break we have reporters on the ground

00:11:34.920 across the west and constantly are bringing stuff out the reason we can do that is because you guys

00:11:40.100 have been subscribing. So thank you very much. We are truly independent. We don't take tax dollars.

00:11:44.500 We aren't asking for tax dollars, but you got to subscribe. Get on there. Westernstandard.news

00:11:48.580 slash subscription, 10 bucks a month, a hundred bucks a year, just like a newspaper subscription

00:11:52.400 keeps me working, keeps our producer working, keeps those reporters working. It's so important

00:11:56.700 because you know, the mainstream news isn't covering this stuff for you. And I'll explain

00:11:59.600 a little why again, when it gets into this unbelievable story, this terrible story,

00:12:04.040 what's going on in Alberta with this murdered young man and the other fellow shot.

00:12:10.100 just unbloody believable. Let's see. I'm going to speak as well about a sponsor because yes,

00:12:15.680 advertising helps pay our bills too, guys. And these guys are great. You might've heard me talk

00:12:20.160 to them a little while ago, calling Craig about Canada's healthcare system. And it's broken. We

00:12:24.280 got thousands of people dying before they're getting the care they need. Millions of people

00:12:28.240 are on waiting lists and it's getting worse. So how do we fix it? Secondstreet.org's brand new

00:12:33.300 documentary, Health Reform Now, has the answers. Head to healthreformnow.ca and watch the full

00:12:39.400 documentary. It's free. It's only 40 minutes, guys. It is a good watch. It doesn't just point

00:12:44.080 out problems, which is kind of my specialty. It points out solutions, which is very important.

00:12:49.120 Check them out, secondstreet.org. They're a great group, and it's healthreformnow.ca.

00:12:55.180 All right, let's see. I'm going to hit a quick thing. Speaking of health reform and idiocy and

00:12:59.100 why our system's broke or why we're broke or why our taxes are hitting us before I get to our guest

00:13:03.680 here. And yeah, this ongoing thing through an access to information request found that again,

00:13:10.820 those Quebec made COVID ventilators, which were made by a company that was coincidentally,

00:13:15.020 certainly owned by a friend of a liberal minister. They ordered $231.7 million worth of these

00:13:23.520 ventilators, which were none were used and they were all thrown out as scrap. This is your tax

00:13:29.660 dollars at work, $28,000 per ventilator, and they were junk, and they were junked. We got robbed

00:13:37.620 during COVID, guys. We got robbed. They used an emergency to rip you off, to line their buddy's

00:13:42.880 pockets, and this didn't save a life now, did it? Because that's what they always like falling back

00:13:46.940 to. Well, is it worth, you know, we have to, if we could just save one life. This didn't save any

00:13:50.680 lives. It probably made a few people's lives really comfortable, because somebody pocketed

00:13:54.900 $231 million, but the rest of us paid it out. It is just repugnant what these people do with our

00:14:03.280 money that we work so hard for. All right, let's get on to another elected official. He's got

00:14:07.420 nothing to do with the ventilators. He's got his own, I guess you could say, hornet's nest that

00:14:13.640 he's poked, and we'll talk about that. His name's Paul Coffey. He's a school board trustee in

00:14:18.680 Manitoba, and he's been the target of a cancellation attempt. So welcome to the show,

00:14:24.640 Paul. I appreciate you coming on and talk to us today. Thank you. Thank you for having me, Corey.

00:14:29.700 So I guess just I want to clarify everything. You're still a trustee. You were elected to

00:14:34.320 that position out in Manitoba? Yes. Yes. A school board trustee in central Manitoba,

00:14:39.820 around the Dauphin area. Okay. So I guess we'll start from the start. What did you do

00:14:45.620 that got the hordes so horrified with you?

00:14:48.700 I used to write policies and procedures for the school division,

00:14:52.780 and it's coming up that the federal government allotted $80 million

00:14:57.420 over the next five years in the 2023 budget towards anti-racism.

00:15:03.380 They want to make a policy for the great kindergarten to grade 12 schools or whatever.

00:15:10.760 And I'm thinking, well, if you're going to make a policy,

00:15:13.180 It has to be.

00:15:19.600 It's like you might be freezing a little bit there, Paul.

00:15:24.760 Just hang on a moment.

00:15:25.980 Hopefully that coverage will pop back in there.

00:15:28.740 Maybe we got a little bit of the Manitoba internet.

00:15:32.500 Hopefully it's not on our end this time.

00:15:34.520 I'll go on a little more, you know, as Paul's connection catches up.

00:15:39.220 He had spoken quite bluntly.

00:15:40.860 He is of some indigenous background, and he said some of the things we've heard from some other people.

00:15:47.660 I mean, we can agree or disagree on it, but he'd said, you know, that the residential schools weren't necessarily all bad.

00:15:53.860 He questioned the narrative of it.

00:15:55.960 He questioned some of the terminology.

00:15:57.960 He refers to, I mean, I admit it's hard to keep up.

00:16:01.380 He used a term that I, you know, most people stopped using when I was younger for First Nations people, indigenous people, whatever it might be.

00:16:07.060 I was kind of raised to call people natives. He used the term Indian. But we're splitting hairs. The thing is, what happened, though, is the swarm came after him. The bunch came after him, and they're basically demanding he be reprimanded, demanding he be ripped out of his position as a school board trustee.

00:16:26.280 He was elected to that position.

00:16:29.540 And of course, also with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission,

00:16:33.580 he questioned some of the findings and some of the statements made within that.

00:16:39.400 It looks like he might be back on.

00:16:40.580 We'll try again.

00:16:41.640 Hey, how are you doing there, Paul?

00:16:43.200 Talk about cancellation.

00:16:44.680 Jeez, just announced my name and I'm getting canceled.

00:16:48.460 Those internet giants are out to get you.

00:16:50.460 So you probably didn't hear it, but I gave a little more background

00:16:52.880 just on what's going on and why people are worked up with you.

00:16:56.280 Where are things standing now though?

00:16:57.660 There's been some, is there an inquiry coming

00:17:00.020 or a hearing or any of that?

00:17:01.300 Or is it still just people shouting for your dismissal?

00:17:03.900 Oh, no, they wanted me to resign publicly or whatever.

00:17:07.980 And then the Minister of Education

00:17:10.980 did have a governance review.

00:17:12.780 So we had a third party come out.

00:17:14.740 Actually, I'd like to announce

00:17:15.640 I'm speaking for myself as a trustee,

00:17:18.300 but not for our school board.

00:17:20.380 That's kind of important to clarify.

00:17:23.260 So anyways, this governance review came out

00:17:25.900 and did a review and and uh said that we should be dissolved that's what the minister says and

00:17:32.380 instead of dissolving our board which doesn't happen i think very often across canada he wanted

00:17:38.860 to uh he appointed four trustees to our board so they're non-voting trustees and they're going to

00:17:48.380 be involved in our meetings and see if see if they can change our mind on how we behave or how we

00:17:54.460 run the school division i i guess so they'll just kind of appoint and stack your elected board with

00:17:59.660 their own people and then basically they can kind of override things kind of what happened was uh

00:18:05.660 one of our one of our trustees had resigned to go work for our local mla mdp mla and so then we were

00:18:13.900 down to eight trustees but then uh we ended up uh terminating our ceo and so then three of the

00:18:22.700 long-term trustees that were with the board resigned on the same day. And then, so now we're

00:18:29.220 down four. So I think the minister decided to appoint his own four trustees to be non-voted

00:18:37.840 and non-elected or whatever. So it's kind of interesting.

00:18:43.920 Yeah. And it's fair enough that you point out, you know, you're just one of the bunch. It doesn't

00:18:47.900 mean you're setting policy or you're speaking for them. I mean, that's the point of having

00:18:52.120 multiple trustees, you would hope that you get some diversity of view. What though compelled

00:18:56.940 you then to delve into questioning some of the findings or statements in the Truth and

00:19:01.420 Reconciliation Commission or some of the residential school theories, I guess you could say?

00:19:07.280 Okay, so with the anti-racism, you know, so who could argue against that? But to set my point is

00:19:15.760 that anti-racism isn't going to work because of the past history. So if you look at treaties,

00:19:21.480 treaties were and and my presentation is is called uh uh nice until it isn't so treaties were nice

00:19:28.360 and then they didn't work out we started fighting about them and they they really didn't do anything

00:19:32.600 so even the truth and reconciliation with the with the land acknowledgement and stuff it's been said

00:19:38.120 over and over for the past nine years it's starting to cause more division than actual

00:19:43.560 reconciliation. So same with the inclusiveness. So in our schools, we have a rainbow sign at each

00:19:52.380 office. And I introduced, well, why don't we have a picture of Jesus with all these different colored

00:19:57.880 children? That'd be more inclusive than, you know what I mean? If you're going to have one,

00:20:02.400 you got to have them all. That's what I said. It's nice, this inclusive, because they spent

00:20:06.780 $80 million. It was in the same budget in the 2023 federal budget. They're going to have $80

00:20:12.340 million dollars plus 25, I think, to implement inclusiveness. And that's not working. So all

00:20:20.320 of these things aren't working. So if they're going to come along with anti-racism policies

00:20:26.100 in our school, let's make sure it works. And the big thing that I'm arguing is that in that

00:20:32.260 definition of anti-racism, they're going to use white privilege. And I said in their white

00:20:37.600 privilege you can't base privilege on a skin color and and the people that believe in that they they

00:20:45.440 say oh well that's not racist and i'm saying yeah it is racist and same with they they talk about

00:20:50.640 decolonization they're going to the anti-racism they're going to inject the definition of

00:20:55.840 decolonization and i'd argue is that we have a lot of federal schools they're federal in in

00:21:02.480 manitoba and i think probably throughout canada the reserve schools are federal so those reserve

00:21:09.520 schools they must be decolonized 100 so how's the graduation rates working there do we need

00:21:17.200 to decolonize our public schools or talk about white privilege when yeah it's kind of racist so

00:21:24.640 So we can't implement this unless everybody signs on and people aren't going to sign on to white privilege and decolonization.

00:21:35.260 No, and that's the language of this.

00:21:37.140 It seems, again, I don't know, we can question whether that's well-meaning, but it's getting more and more divisive.

00:21:41.720 It's turning it into us and them all the time.

00:21:44.540 And there's nothing worse than training children into that.

00:21:48.020 Like, I'm with this team and I should be apologetic for something my ancestors did.

00:21:52.280 or I'm with this team and I should be upset

00:21:55.000 because of what that kid's ancestors did.

00:21:57.600 Well, none of us are getting into a better place

00:21:59.480 from any of this.

00:22:00.880 Definitely not.

00:22:01.780 And if you look at the,

00:22:03.480 it's called a community wealth index

00:22:05.980 and it compares the indigenous and non-indigenous

00:22:09.680 and how we are.

00:22:11.160 And it's listed the past 40 years

00:22:13.760 but I'm sure it's the past 200 years 1.00

00:22:16.140 that the non-indigenous are 20 points ahead 0.98

00:22:20.300 of the indigenous like they're still living in poverty or oppression and all the money we're

00:22:27.340 putting in there isn't helping them and a lot of people said with my presentation they think

00:22:32.140 i'm upset about money and i just keep saying and i think it was in my article with western standard

00:22:36.700 is that i'm not worried about the money the money is just a financial injection into our system

00:22:42.380 but all this money isn't helping the oppression or how how things are happening to this minority

00:22:48.940 this 4%. It's not making things better. No, we can't see any measurable improvement. I've written

00:22:54.580 columns on that as well. I would say, hey, if it worked, if I saw, you know, the reserves having

00:22:59.440 fantastic social, you know, peace and good prosperity, well, okay, I can live with that.

00:23:05.640 But they're in terrible condition and getting worse. So I mean, it only makes sense that we

00:23:09.640 can at least question what's going on. But that's what concerns me with your case is,

00:23:13.780 it's not even what you're saying is that you dared to question it that has them so upset.

00:23:17.760 and we got to worry about that well there's there's even the in Manitoba we have a high

00:23:25.200 school grad or graduation rates and so that it's it's plain it plain as day the numbers show well

00:23:32.460 it's kind of snowed over and I think that's in my article is that it shows that 81 percent or

00:23:37.500 high percent that we're both graduating equally the indigenous and non-indigenous but the fact

00:23:42.780 remains is that in grade nine if they if people don't make their credits there where the indigenous

00:23:49.180 aren't making their credits to a 24 difference between the indigenous and non-indigenous so

00:23:56.380 they aren't making it to grade 12. in fact from my understanding i'm quoted the number 44 only 44

00:24:02.860 percent of indigenous graduate in our school division and as the as a school trustee i'm

00:24:10.460 concerned about that and if they want to spend 80 million dollars on anti-racism and then plant that

00:24:15.980 and plant this other thing that's doing nothing for our graduation rates as a school board trustee

00:24:21.580 that's my concern so as a trustee as you pointed out it's a little unique when it comes to first

00:24:27.420 nations reserves and such uh their federal schools does that still though fall under the umbrella

00:24:33.020 then of the local elected trustees or are those parallel schools to the other ones you're working

00:24:36.940 in those have their own uh they're under different school division the federal schools are are a

00:24:44.380 different board so they don't fall under me but we do have reserves in our areas and then a lot of

00:24:49.980 the kids that the reserve some of the reserve schools might only go to grade eight or grade

00:24:55.020 nine and or grade eight i guess and then they would come to our schools yeah so there's still

00:24:59.820 a large number of uh indigenous students within your classes your schools or the rest of the

00:25:04.860 public system but the the ones on the server a separate federal uh management and you just i

00:25:10.620 just wanted to clarify that because it's kind of different from most people used to

00:25:13.900 they're saying about 23 are in our in in our schools you know and then the anti-racism thing

00:25:19.980 it starts to uh there's also 17 uh they call it ipoc which i i'm offended by all the name changes

00:25:28.940 and and now they want to call ipoc is indigenous people of color well i don't want to be called by

00:25:35.580 an acronym no so anyways there's 17 uh pop which is people of color and another 23 in our school

00:25:43.580 division that are indigenous so that's close to 50 and i see just in manitoba here that in

00:25:51.820 in another five years there's going to be probably 75 or 80 brown and black people

00:25:58.060 so how how is this anti-racism going to be working then when that four percent of indigenous

00:26:05.760 are still going to be in oppression so the anti-racism policy i see not working well

00:26:13.500 they're going to use those definitions that a lot of people won't sign on to it

00:26:18.460 and plus in the future there is going to be no racism because there's going to be

00:26:24.480 equal portions of all colors of people.

00:26:28.840 Yeah, well, and your job is to kind of give a high level view of the education.

00:26:31.980 I mean, you're not prescriptive.

00:26:32.860 You don't deal with, you know, straight into the curriculum or things like that.

00:26:36.440 You're just kind of an elected oversight on the education system.

00:26:39.440 And even if you have different views, I mean, everybody's intention theoretically is to

00:26:43.400 make as good a system for everybody as possible.

00:26:46.220 Definitely.

00:26:46.960 Mine is those graduation rates and all the things that we're doing or the micro things.

00:26:54.480 That's the other thing that really got people wound up, is I'm looking at micro or macro.

00:27:00.560 The trustees look at a bigger picture of of how the school division is running.

00:27:05.680 And then we have people in the school division that are that are micro.

00:27:09.120 They take care of how to support that.

00:27:11.760 And they believe the things I was saying was really picking on on what they're doing.

00:27:16.320 And that's not it at all.

00:27:17.760 I'm looking at the provincial implementation of a policy that needs to work.

00:27:24.480 who could be against anti-racism? Well, if you make a good policy, but it's going to be hijacked

00:27:30.080 by these definitions that nobody's going to sign on to. So why do it? It's not going to improve

00:27:37.160 our graduation rates. Yeah, I get frustrated with some of the terminology when they shut down

00:27:41.520 discourse as well. It's like, you know, that Antifa, you know, crazed leftists who protest

00:27:46.900 on the streets. They label themselves as anti-fascist. And if anybody questions what

00:27:50.600 they're doing, say, oh, so you must support fascists. Well, no, no. I just don't like what

00:27:55.160 you're doing. And if they say something's anti-racist and you have a question part of

00:27:59.760 their policies, they're going to say, what? Does that mean you're pro-racist? I mean, that's the

00:28:03.180 game it's played, unfortunately. Yeah, well, I picture that it's all, and I'm Indian. And I think

00:28:11.700 it's in my article, if people want to go to Western Standard, I have an article there. But I am Indian

00:28:17.200 and my grandma went to residential school my dad went to residential school and i went to a little

00:28:21.520 bit of day school so what i picture is that these initiatives are kind of latched on to this

00:28:29.440 oppressed group four percent in canada and if you say anything against it like the inclusion or the

00:28:35.840 oh the inclusion was put out there to include the indians or that indigenous and but if you

00:28:42.000 say anything against the inclusion and you know darn well that that's been hijacked if you say

00:28:46.720 anything against it then you're against the indians you're against it blah blah blah like

00:28:51.360 and same with the anti-racism it's it's going to turn out if you say anything and maybe kind of 0.51

00:28:56.080 like i am it's turned into an indigenous thing because i'm yeah i'm a bad guy i'm a racist and

00:29:02.560 i'm hateful and yeah it's not well it's hard to keep up with the words you know generation by

00:29:07.840 generation i i it's just the intent that matters not not the term uh but the time passed quickly

00:29:15.040 So are you going to, you're going to be running for election again sometime soon, or is it

00:29:19.620 a while yet?

00:29:20.700 It's another two years.

00:29:21.980 So we have a by-election this fall, and hopefully we'll get four trustees on there.

00:29:28.620 Sometimes it's, I think with all this activity, maybe there'll be a lot of people wanting

00:29:32.940 to be nominated or get nominated.

00:29:35.100 So yeah, and then we'll have a full board of nine, and I'm not too sure what'll happen

00:29:39.520 to those appointed board members, but we'll see how we work around that.

00:29:44.580 Well, and that's the way to deal with these things

00:29:46.300 the way it should be as well.

00:29:47.120 We'll put it to the parents who are going to vote

00:29:48.780 and choose who they want to be looking over

00:29:50.500 the education in their area.

00:29:52.100 So I appreciate you for being outspoken

00:29:54.440 and providing the article for the Western Standard

00:29:57.840 and for just taking a stand.

00:30:00.560 So where can people kind of find you

00:30:02.060 and keep track of you and your story?

00:30:07.120 I do have a email with the school division,

00:30:12.800 So you can look me up at Mountain View School Division.

00:30:16.780 Okay.

00:30:18.640 Great.

00:30:19.180 Yeah, if anybody's interested in contacting you

00:30:20.960 or things like that.

00:30:21.720 Well, I appreciate it.

00:30:22.840 We'll be watching what's happening over there

00:30:24.480 and we'll see what happens.

00:30:26.480 Perhaps we'll have you on for a conversation again soon.

00:30:29.640 For sure.

00:30:30.080 I'll keep you up to date.

00:30:31.240 And thank you very much for having me on.

00:30:32.920 I can have a chance to get my word out there.

00:30:35.000 I've been pretty silent since April 22nd.

00:30:38.240 Yeah, well, and silence isn't the way to fix things.

00:30:40.940 So thanks again.

00:30:42.720 I hope you all come to a good resolution out there.

00:30:46.040 Perfect. Thank you, Corey.

00:30:47.420 Great. Thank you.

00:30:48.960 Yeah, that was Paul Coffey.

00:30:50.520 He's a trustee out in Manitoba there, as it's out by Dauphin.

00:30:55.420 And I mean, these things go on and we forget the basis,

00:30:59.380 forget what we're there for, forget what the point is.

00:31:01.160 It's for the kids and stuff like that.

00:31:02.780 And we get caught up with the terminology, the hangups, the other stuff.

00:31:07.220 And we're forgetting the outcomes.

00:31:08.700 look at the graduation rates, look at the success rates. That's what matters. And this new woke

00:31:14.560 approach to things isn't working. It isn't. I mean, if it worked, I'd support it too, but it

00:31:19.740 doesn't. It stinks. It's getting worse every year. This is part of what's inspired a lot of the

00:31:24.680 columns I wrote on this. I worked in the north in the bush for 20 years, and I could see the state,

00:31:30.160 the state of people on reserves getting worse year after year after year. It doesn't matter

00:31:35.400 how much we spent, didn't matter how much we messed around with things, it kept getting worse.

00:31:40.380 Should we not be allowed to call that out? And it's not calling out the people. That is wrong.

00:31:45.460 Yes, if you try to say Native people are inherently inferior, and that's why there's a

00:31:50.320 problem, yeah, that's racism, and that's wrong. But if you say the system is inferior, and it's

00:31:55.100 putting these people in a bad place, there's nothing wrong with saying that. That's a system

00:31:59.940 you're attacking, not the people. But defenders of the status quo turn it around that way. They

00:32:05.100 try to say anybody questioning the way things are right now must be a heartless racist. And that's

00:32:10.800 not, not the way to go with things. Now I'm going to talk about what I said has got me worked up.

00:32:17.140 Dave talked about it a little bit. People in Alberta will be familiar with it, with what's

00:32:21.540 happened. Yesterday, I was driving yesterday, a little bit after one o'clock, an emergency alert

00:32:26.180 came over. It was beeping on my phone. It was on the radio. I was listening to conventional radio.

00:32:30.040 they said there's uh two dang extremely dangerous they said armed uh individuals east of calgary

00:32:39.380 they gave the townships and ranges for the roads they told people shelter in place get in your

00:32:43.080 homes lock your windows lock your doors they're on the loose and then they just left it at that

00:32:47.760 that was it nothing else was told we weren't told if they were men we weren't told if they were

00:32:53.640 women we weren't told they were driving we didn't know if they were white black purple it did we had

00:32:59.240 no idea. All everybody out in that area knew was that apparently there's two extremely dangerous 0.99

00:33:05.260 people out there wandering around. Now the details started creeping out through the day

00:33:10.080 and they came out through social media, not through the police. So people were locked down.

00:33:15.480 Now I'll give the details of what we know on what happened. And as Dave pointed out,

00:33:22.080 yeah, so a man was murdered by two people. The RCMP still won't give us any bloody information.

00:33:29.240 it sounds like a vehicle was burned out in the side of the road. The man was a young man. He's

00:33:34.640 a father. And he had pulled over. It sounds like maybe a Fortis employee had pulled over. First,

00:33:40.100 he was shot and wounded. The second one was a county employee who pulled over. He was shot.

00:33:45.180 He's a young man and killed. And then they stole the county truck. This I know because on the

00:33:53.080 Strathmore Facebook group, locals were posting pictures of the stolen truck bouncing around

00:33:58.840 through the field with the murderers in it. But the RCMP still didn't tell anybody that a county

00:34:05.740 truck with murderers in it was driving around their neighborhood. Why in the hell would they

00:34:10.920 not tell the public about a vehicle that identifiable with known murderers in it and say,

00:34:18.720 hey, watch out for this frigging thing. You might get killed. If this sounds familiar to you,

00:34:25.040 remember what these dumb buttholes did in Nova Scotia only a few years ago. A lunatic was 0.94

00:34:31.480 rampaging around in a fake RCMP car. He killed 22 people. It was the worst police failure showing

00:34:40.860 incompetence, disorganization, and idiocy on the part of the RCMP in known history. 22 people died

00:34:47.420 and never did an alert go out to people saying, hey, watch out. There's a fake cop car driving

00:34:52.980 around with a nutcase in it that's shooting people. You know, some lives might have been saved

00:34:57.820 if they'd have just said that. But they didn't because the RCMP in Canada goes silent. They

00:35:04.720 don't believe we are allowed to know what the hell is going on. So these two unknown murderers

00:35:11.860 are still on the loose. This is the last information we know. The RCMP, they got away.

00:35:17.200 They ditched the truck. A man is dead. A man is wounded. We don't know where they are. We don't

00:35:22.300 have any direction where they went. We don't know if they're male. We don't know if they're female.

00:35:26.400 We don't know anything about them. The RCMP know this because one of the people they shot was only

00:35:32.340 hit in the arm and he survived. He probably had a description. He could probably say they were

00:35:35.540 two men or two women or two elephants or whatever the hell it was. But the RCMP won't share that

00:35:41.600 with us for some reason. Why? Why have they got a cone of silence while we have murderers driving

00:35:47.860 around the province of Alberta right now, right now. Shouldn't we know what we're supposed to be

00:35:53.240 looking out for? No, they won't tell us. It's insane. And you know, this made it all the more

00:36:00.180 dangerous when it was in a county truck with the branding and the logo on the side. Because if

00:36:06.680 you're a rural person, even if you knew the emergency was going on, you know, people, even

00:36:11.220 if it wasn't the wise way to go, see something like that as an authority figure or somebody they

00:36:16.020 could trust. If they saw that coming up the driveway, they might have thought, oh, it's

00:36:18.560 somebody from the county. Maybe the emergency is over. I'll come up in my front step and see what's

00:36:21.580 going on. And they would have been shot. They also, if we wanted to catch these guys, you had

00:36:28.480 hundreds of people around there who could have been watching. In fact, they were. They were

00:36:33.680 posting it on Facebook. You'd get more information from Facebook than the bloody RCMP. And they're

00:36:38.660 saying the truck is here. The truck is there. The killers are here. The killers are there. The

00:36:42.920 locals tracked the killers. The Keystone cops at the RCMP friggin didn't. So they got away. So

00:36:48.500 they're out now. So they might kill more people. They might kill another young father because the

00:36:54.720 RCMP doesn't like sharing information with you. It's been almost 24 hours since this happened and

00:37:01.700 the RCMP still hasn't told us a damn thing. We found out in the newsroom that there was a man

00:37:07.960 killed and who it was because the county put a release out for the victim on their site, the

00:37:14.400 Rocky View County site. And check out the Rocky View County site. Google the man's name. I'm sorry,

00:37:18.780 I don't have it handy with me right now. And look on the Western Standard. We have the young man's

00:37:22.280 name. There's a GoFundMe, of course, for his family. He's a father. And watch out, people. I don't know

00:37:27.960 what you're supposed to watch out for. All we do know is that there's two dangerous murderers

00:37:32.440 bouncing around the province somewhere right now. And the RCMP is refusing to tell us who they are,

00:37:36.620 where they're going, what they look like. So whose fault is it if these guys kill more people?

00:37:42.940 You know, like, this is insane. Not just insane, but the stupidity, but the stupidity that the

00:37:49.500 friggin RCMP has done this before. And they haven't learned a thing. You go to the Alberta

00:37:54.540 RCMP X posting site page, and I've been beating the crap out of them on there, and they deserve it.

00:38:00.100 They're posting fluff. Oh, hey, everybody, watch out. We're doing an RCMP dog training thing in

00:38:05.220 your area, so you might see a puppy. Oh yeah, well by the way, since you're out, why don't you tell us

00:38:08.780 about the two murderers you misplaced, you idiots? What is your job? Who do you serve? Who do you

00:38:14.160 answer to? Who pays your friggin' bills? We do. You're supposed to protect us. You don't hide

00:38:21.240 information from us, you incompetent boobs. You warn us. You let us protect ourselves. You know, 1.00

00:38:28.040 I've talked about getting provincial police force for a long time. I had the RCMP union guys on

00:38:32.540 they're making excuses. They've come on my show to tell us why we have to stick with them. You

00:38:36.180 know what? Screw you guys. Hey, we can screw up and make a bad provincial force. So we better make

00:38:41.600 a better force than them when we bring in a provincial one. But I really see nothing to

00:38:45.020 lose in dumping the RCMP right now. So either way, let's hope that these incompetent boobs 1.00

00:38:50.140 manage to catch the murderers wherever they are and stop them before they kill another young 1.00

00:38:56.060 father. You know, there's four and a half million Albertans who would love to lend their eyes to it

00:39:00.760 help find these murderers. They're walking the streets in every corner of this province,

00:39:05.240 but they need to know what they're looking for. And the RCMP won't tell us. Why? Why?

00:39:11.980 There's no excuse. It's just disgusting. I'm disgusted with you.

00:39:17.380 You know, I speak of the RCMP, not disgusted with you guys, the viewers.

00:39:21.740 But what the hell is going on? What is the matter with you guys? 24 hours later.

00:39:25.900 And so what is this telling me? I'll tell you what it's telling me.

00:39:30.540 It's telling me, go to social media to get your news about crime.

00:39:34.340 Screw the RCMP.

00:39:35.140 They won't give you good information anyways.

00:39:36.920 And they won't protect you.

00:39:38.260 This is one of the posts from that Strathmore site, actually, as a matter of fact.

00:39:41.480 This is what somebody posted after they had all the discussion between all the people living out in that area,

00:39:45.500 discussing where these killers were while the RCMP, I don't know what they were doing,

00:39:48.180 playing a game of strip poker or something, whilst they got away.

00:39:52.180 This guy said, so the best thing everyone can do at this point is arm yourself and do whatever is necessary

00:39:55.500 to protect yourselves and your family.

00:39:57.020 The RCMP just gave up.

00:39:58.280 They have failed the Strathmore area more than once.

00:40:00.340 And honestly, we the people should end this quite simply.

00:40:02.500 I'd be locked and loaded and sighted in.

00:40:05.480 You know what?

00:40:06.000 He's right.

00:40:07.080 You might as well protect yourself.

00:40:08.380 The worst thing is, unfortunately, not everybody's trained for that sort of thing.

00:40:11.780 So it might lead to another accident.

00:40:13.460 But what else are you supposed to do? 1.00

00:40:14.680 The RCMP, these Keystone idiots, these Clouse-esque clowns aren't keeping you safe. 1.00

00:40:20.580 And they should get the hell out of Alberta. 1.00

00:40:22.440 All right.

00:40:22.860 That's enough out of me.

00:40:23.760 I'll get on to something a little lighter.

00:40:25.100 Somebody I love.

00:40:26.280 Cyclists.

00:40:26.640 So we've got Sean Polzer. He's out in Prittis at the Water's Edge Pub, and he's been speaking to the owner out there.

00:40:35.800 Let's bring him in and see what's going on out that way. Hey, Sean, how's it going?

00:40:39.280 It's going good, Corey. How are you?

00:40:41.000 I'm a little worked up.

00:40:42.480 Yeah, I know it is, but in a good way, righteously so.

00:40:46.820 Well, I hope something good, kind of eventually a resolution comes to this.

00:40:50.260 So what are you doing in the bar I used to own?

00:40:52.580 And the bar you used on? Well, I'm ordering the chili, which happens to be amazing. It comes in a little cast iron pan and with a garlic toast. That's highly recommended. But actually, I'm working on a story about the war wheels that's going on out here in Curtis.

00:41:08.580 It came as a result of some of your posts on Twitter about the cyclists that are coming in from the city, attracted, obviously, to the natural beauty of the community here and, you know, the good hometown local vibes and maybe even the chilly.

00:41:24.480 But it's creating a bit of tension with the locals in terms of some of the parking and maybe just kind of loving the place to death, you know, kind of like what we hear about happening in Europe.

00:41:35.900 oh yeah i mean i enjoy my place out in prittis but you know suddenly on a nice weekend morning 0.97

00:41:40.460 these spandex laden locusts just descend on our area and and uh you know block the roads and uh

00:41:47.820 well you'll write a lot about the story and some of the reasons locals have kind of hit the end of

00:41:51.740 their world boat that way with them well i've only seen one so far today it's been raining and so you

00:41:58.300 know you know this guy's a die hard right when he's out there uh peddling in the rain but yeah

00:42:03.100 i've only seen one one so far today there's few of them on the in the winter as well but uh yeah

00:42:08.220 we're in uh cyclist prime time once it gets nice out so uh all right since i got you what you know

00:42:13.740 you're our energy and business uh writer whatever you got on the go well i had a really good one

00:42:19.340 today so uh suncorp came out with its uh annual uh well second quarter earnings uh production

00:42:26.700 averaged about 800 000 barrels in the first half which is uh cracking you know for the world's

00:42:32.460 our oil sands producer and they're doing what they're supposed to be doing which is producing

00:42:36.780 oil and gas so a year ago the ceo got into a bit of a pickle when they sold off all the renewable

00:42:43.500 assets and you know decided that they weren't going to be a part of the so-called energy

00:42:49.500 transition and they were going to focus on going back to what they do best which is producing oil

00:42:54.780 and gas so in the years since rich kruger made those comments he was hauled up in front of a

00:43:00.620 a commons committee and accused of burning down half of alberto you know with wildfires

00:43:05.600 uh the stock's up almost 30 and it's up about six percent today so it's you know we've heard

00:43:11.640 all these stories of these companies you know going woke and going broke and uh suncor is not

00:43:16.240 one of them pleased to say an oil company daring to be an oil company the gall of them who would

00:43:23.600 have thunk exactly do you think this might lead to a bit of a trend with other energy companies i

00:43:28.740 just quitting you know they might just stop apologizing and being who they are uh hopefully

00:43:34.820 you know i think i think that would be a good start i mean either this kind of leads into my

00:43:38.660 second story which is about bill c59 so um suncor is also a member of this pathways alliance that

00:43:45.780 have been so c59 in case you don't know is uh the greenwashing act you know these companies where

00:43:50.500 they're not allowed to promote the environmental benefits of their products uh you know without

00:43:55.780 proving them so it's mostly aimed at oil companies but some people say you know dawn's soap they

00:44:01.700 you know they advertise that they clean the ducks right or uh you know uh alberta beef cattle you

00:44:08.340 know that they somehow they reduce they produce less spark gas than uh you know half so much

00:44:13.780 spark gas and cows in uh in europe right so but they have to be able to back up these claims

00:44:18.900 and so um i wouldn't expect suncourt you know to abandon uh you know its emissions

00:44:25.460 reductions commitments altogether but at the same time uh c59 so they've all had to kind of

00:44:31.380 collectively go and withdraw this information from their websites um you know from the federal

00:44:35.700 government and actually withdraw some of these targets so remains i i doubt that it means that

00:44:41.700 they're going to abandon you know uh emissions reductions altogether but uh federal government

00:44:46.420 sure isn't making any of any easier on them if you're not going to get credit for it there's

00:44:50.580 really not much sense in pushing it anyway what's the business case all right well it's interesting

00:44:58.340 stuff i'm still happy to see them kind of showing some courage on their part so i'll let you get

00:45:02.500 back to that chili there i say hi to tom and brenda for me then and uh i sure will see you

00:45:08.420 when you get back to the newsroom i don't i don't know if the place looks any different than when

00:45:11.620 you were here maybe maybe they uh took it up a notch yeah they rented it i was more of a dive

00:45:20.580 All right. Thanks, Sean. Yeah, thanks, Greg. Bye.

00:45:24.160 So, yeah, on the road, that's our news and energy reporter, Sean Polzer, out in Pritis, Alberta.

00:45:29.620 And, yeah, watch The Standard. You know, he's always on that stuff.

00:45:33.080 And it's great stuff, what's going on in our energy sector and the real business news involved with it.

00:45:38.220 So earlier, yes, I'd forgotten his name. You know, embarrassing.

00:45:41.120 His name was Colin Howe. I think I may be pronouncing it wrong. H-O-U-G-H.

00:45:45.300 There's actually a GoFundMe for him. This is the man who was murdered, whose killers are still on the lam in Alberta.

00:45:50.580 and the RCP still won't tell us anything about them or where they are. All they know is they

00:45:54.460 misplaced them. Hopefully they don't kill more people. He worked for the county of Rocky View.

00:46:01.560 He was a father. He's a young man. He's dead. And we may never find the killers because the RCP

00:46:07.160 won't tell us what they look like, where they went, or any other details. Yeah, that's the

00:46:13.340 unfortunate realities of our news today, guys. Either way, try and enjoy other aspects of the

00:46:18.600 summer, but honestly, be careful out there. These killers could be anybody. RCMP won't tell us who

00:46:23.100 they are. They might be next to you right now. We don't know. We're not allowed to, apparently.

00:46:27.660 And yeah, stay safe out there, guys. Enjoy the summer. Be sure to tune into the pipeline. We'll

00:46:33.100 be on with a panel, discuss a bunch more issues a little later tonight. And yeah, keep going to

00:46:37.680 the Western Standard for your news. We've got it as it breaks, guys. Thanks for tuning in today.

00:46:41.580 We'll see you all next week at this time.

00:46:48.600 We'll see you next time.
