00:05:43.800 You guys cheated.

00:05:45.440 That clearly should have been a red card for that tackle at the beginning.

00:05:48.520 Could have been very different.

00:05:49.700 Could have been if your guy on the breakaway could only hit the net.

00:05:53.100 That's not unfair.

00:05:54.580 That's not unfair.

00:07:48.880 You know, just by the title, the Liberal Tears, of course.

00:07:51.520 I mean, I just can't help but love thinking of slurping up Liberal Tears in the morning.

00:07:55.960 But the Defund the CBC, I think, flavor-wise, was the best of the bunch.

00:07:59.180 I think they should have, like, Bitter Truth.

00:08:02.900 That would be a good, that's a good flavor.

00:08:04.260 Yeah, they've got black gold for their dark roast.

00:08:07.740 There's no Bitter Truth yet.

00:08:09.040 Bitter Truth.

00:08:09.440 Maybe they'll come up with one.

00:08:10.480 I think so.

00:08:11.420 I think so.

00:08:12.780 Okay.

00:08:13.720 Well, we're going to jump into the show here.

00:08:18.560 There's been a huge series of church burnings across Canada.

00:08:24.100 I think all in the West, if I'm not mistaken.

00:08:27.240 I'm not sure if they've all been Catholic,

00:08:28.860 but at least predominantly Catholic churches that have been burning.

00:08:34.260 Dave, why don't you fill our listeners in on what's been happening with this

00:08:39.380 and give us kind of the lay of the land and what's happened.

00:08:43.240 Sure.

00:08:43.500 It's a very troubling story, Derek.

00:08:45.020 A total of seven churches have been set on fire in Alberta and British Columbia,

00:08:53.380 four of them in British Columbia and three of them in Alberta.

00:08:58.280 The fire started just days after it was announced the discovery of the mass graves in residential schools in Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

00:09:12.580 Days after that, there were two churches burned in the Okanagan and another one burned the very next day.

00:09:21.320 Then the troubles spread to Alberta. There were two fires set on consecutive days this week on the Siksika Reserve, one a Catholic church, one an Anglican church.

00:09:32.900 And just this morning, a century-old historic, beautiful Catholic church in Mournville, north of Edmonton, went up in flames.

00:09:41.260 And there's video of that terrible fire on our website, Western Standard Online. It really is sad to see.

00:09:49.960 so it's you know the politicians have been mainly quiet on it it has been pointed out that uh anytime

00:09:57.480 there was you know damage to a mosque or a synagogue uh politicians are quick to jump out on

00:10:03.640 it uh mainly they've been quiet on this uh i i can't explain it i i don't know if it's obviously

00:10:10.520 i don't think it's an organized group of terrorists uh is it just people using these catholic churches

00:10:17.960 as as a scapegoat is it actual indigenous first nations people themselves that are burning him

00:10:26.420 down that most of the fires have happened on the reserve land derrick the mournville one though I

00:10:32.120 think that was in the town mournville one was in the town and that a lot of the fires have reduced

00:10:39.380 these churches to ash the ones in six sick escaped massive damage but you know the attempt was there

00:10:46.680 So obviously a lot of anger being directed at the Catholic Church.

00:10:51.440 They ran the two residential schools in question in Saskatchewan and British Columbia in Kamloops.

00:10:59.780 We learned this morning of another 182 graves found at a residential school in Cranbrook.

00:11:06.700 So that's just breaking news as we speak.

00:11:10.640 Oh, I didn't even hear about one.

00:11:12.320 I know. I'm filling you in.

00:11:14.640 Dylan Ian so it's to me I find it troubling any time you know there's

00:11:20.040 obviously some sort of organized or not a campaign to burn down Catholic churches

00:11:25.080 in the country and it's it's very very troubling well you know we've got some

00:11:33.400 interesting reactions coming in probably the most interesting is Ben Dillon that

00:11:37.520 says nuke the Vatican I'm not sure I quite share that sentiment no and an

00:11:43.500 indigenous groups have today set up a meeting with uh with the pope uh the pope still hasn't

00:11:49.740 apologized for the catholics uh role in the residential school system and keep in mind it 0.99

00:11:55.900 wasn't just the catholics uh uh several religions it was a government-run organization back then a

00:12:03.180 government-run idea and then the churches stepped in and ran what the government wanted them to do

00:12:08.620 So it's not just Catholics, but they are bearing the brunt of it at the moment because the graves are being found at their schools.

00:12:17.920 M. Dragmott, I think, is misunderstanding what Dave said.

00:12:23.880 He says, why on earth would you attempt to blame indigenous groups for burning mosques?

00:12:27.500 No one blamed indigenous groups for burning mosques.

00:12:30.040 No.

00:12:30.400 I think what Dave was saying was that when a mosque is attacked or a synagogue is attacked or any religious institutions,

00:12:36.960 it's essentially not a church is attacked. There's rightful condemnation from politicians

00:12:41.680 and public figures. We rightfully make a big deal of these things. As there should be in this case.

00:12:47.760 But for some reason, they're silent here. I'm not aware. I mean, maybe it's happened. I'm not

00:12:52.660 aware of any indigenous person who's ever been linked to a crime for burning a mosque. No one

00:12:57.520 said that. No one implied that. No. But there is a reason that the politicians aren't speaking up

00:13:02.760 on this one. I mean, for one, it's superheated and that there are a lot of angry, hurt people.

00:13:06.600 things are coming up that we, to be honest, we've always kind of known about what we just didn't

00:13:10.380 like talking about. And it's in our face now and we have to address it. And, but what the

00:13:15.400 politicians don't like talking about is the churches were just the contractors. This was

00:13:19.780 all under the mandate of the government. I mean, if the government didn't want these residential 1.00

00:13:23.180 schools operating, they'd say we aren't going to operate them. The churches were the ones basically

00:13:27.060 hired to run these things. And it's not saying the churches are free of any blame on these things,

00:13:32.140 but the government I think is more than happy to see all of the vitriol and anger

00:13:35.820 go towards these churches rather than themselves, because we've got to remember that the head of

00:13:40.080 the Canadian government right now's father has spent his entire time in politics while

00:13:43.600 residential schools were running. There's a lot of blame and fingers to go around, but

00:13:48.140 to condone violence, and that's what this is, arson. It's dangerous. I mean, I remember in

00:13:54.240 Calgary when the Forest Lawn Hotel got burned down, it killed a firefighter. This can't be

00:13:58.720 tolerated, no matter how angry people are, no matter what they may think or what the past

00:14:02.860 church entities did this has to be stopped this is not the way to deal with it at all and they

00:14:08.420 got to take it seriously and politicians are going to speak up on this one too well and i think the

00:14:12.200 people like i suspect like not based on anything but my own gut feeling i suspect it's angry young 0.98

00:14:18.840 men and young men do very stupid things old men do stupid things too young men are much more prone 0.97

00:14:25.500 to do impulsive yeah and out of anger uh so you know it's a combination of rightful anger i think 0.99

00:14:32.280 There's a right to be angry about these discoveries, although we're still – we don't know half the story yet, but at the very least, we know that something terrible has happened here.

00:14:44.020 And there's a right to be angry.

00:14:46.360 But also, you know, young guys, it's also a thrill.

00:14:50.080 Like they're doing something dangerous.

00:14:53.140 You're bringing up actually a sense of purpose if you felt you found a cause.

00:14:55.920 I mean, there's a number of reasons it'll be person by person.

00:14:58.020 I don't think it's an organized group, as you said.

00:14:59.920 No.

00:15:00.220 You know, these are individuals.

00:15:01.260 I wouldn't be shocked. I mean, this is pure speculation. If one or two of these turns out to be actually non-Indigenous social justice warriors, you feel like they're going to make the mark on the world. I mean, when we get these investigations, it'll be interesting to see who is behind it. I just hope it stops before somebody gets very seriously hurt, though. 0.96

00:15:15.380 Yeah. And these churches, a lot of them, as much as people don't like it, are cultural centers for, there's a lot of indigenous converts. And I know some people talk, well, that's because they were forced to back with residential schools. So that's a longer discussion, but they are a part of those churches. Those churches are a part of the community and you're harming them when you burn these things down.

00:15:32.600 I've spent a fair bit of time, at least, on the Siksika Reserve.

00:15:36.820 The church that at least was attempted to be burned down is an important and historical part of the community.

00:15:43.340 I mean, even if you don't go to church, these are historical buildings.

00:15:47.020 They're a part of our history.

00:15:50.500 I mean, after destroying people, the next greatest crime is destroying history, destroying architecture.

00:15:58.360 uh there's no old things in the grand scheme of things we're a very new place

00:16:05.400 it's only settling here for a bit over 100 years so it's but what's also happening because i think

00:16:14.440 that i mean canada aliens are having this great reckoning where i mean some people are on the

00:16:22.120 uh self-flagellation tour where it's you know how how terrible am i even though i had nothing to do

00:16:28.260 with this but the very you know I think more reasonable people are still

00:16:32.100 reflecting on the scale of what happened the need to get more information about

00:16:38.280 what happened you know genuine introspection I think by going out and

00:16:44.100 burning churches they're destroying a lot of the necessary sympathy for this

00:16:48.960 conversation that people are having I mean I'm not a Catholic but I'm still

00:16:53.160 pretty pissed off by people burning Catholic churches I'm not an Anglican

00:16:56.060 but i don't like people burning anglican churches i don't like this kind of thing is going to erode

00:17:01.360 sympathy when this is a unique moment where at least for a brief period of time before we go

00:17:05.820 back into our tribes start hitting each other again where people are able to come together

00:17:10.860 and discuss this issue as common human beings without our regular political tribes this is

00:17:17.140 just going to split people apart again and you know and it's going to allow uh people to to

00:17:23.520 point and say look these are not reasonable people they're committing acts of violence and destruction

00:17:29.120 i don't think it's going to help the cause and the conversation that canadians need to have

00:17:33.600 no no it's distracting from what is again we're seeing these conversations coming up and a lot

00:17:37.680 of examination and now yeah we're looking at this these burnings and other incidents going

00:17:41.840 on it's just it adds nothing absolutely nothing yeah it's very sad um well anyone who's been

00:17:49.680 outside uh or in your house without air conditioning in the last week is known it is hot as hell

00:17:55.500 across the west uh we don't normally do a weather report on the western standard we don't have a

00:18:00.400 weatherman uh but i guess davey'll be weatherman today uh massive heat wave wave across the west

00:18:06.620 but in particular hitting british columbia on the west coast the hardest 233 deaths so far

00:18:12.960 that have at least been attributed one way or another to the heat wave why don't you tell us

00:18:17.400 uh what's happened with it and and and the controversy that this is now created with the

00:18:24.320 bc government and john horgan it's a staggering death toll derek i mean if you think it's a good

00:18:28.980 size plane going down with 233 people on it and these poor people for the most part died alone

00:18:35.600 and uh you know in their own homes uh these are people dozens in uh vancouver proper dozens in

00:18:44.500 Surrey, dozens in Burnaby, all across the Lower Mainland that have passed away due to the extreme

00:18:50.840 heat. Police forces are stretched thin. There's a 45-minute wait to get through on 9-1-1. There's

00:18:59.520 sometimes a two-hour wait if you call for an ambulance. Imagine calling 9-1-1 and then waiting

00:19:05.320 two hours. So it really is a terrible, terrible situation, particularly in B.C. The town of

00:19:13.580 lytton has for the last three days has broken canadian temperature records yesterday uh 49

00:19:20.780 something celsius believe it or not that's not just for comparison that's the hottest day more

00:19:27.820 than it's hotter than the hottest day ever recorded in las vegas that's how hot it is it's it's

00:19:33.340 absolutely unprecedented and with all this this carnage for lack of a better word going on

00:19:41.260 premier john horgan came out yesterday and said well fatalities are part of life and you know

00:19:48.540 if you couldn't put your foot in your mouth any further if you uh if you tried it didn't take long

00:19:53.980 for the social media to erupt in outrage and and a few hours later came the the predictable apology

00:20:00.940 from organ saying you know every life is precious and and whatnot you know police are urging people

00:20:09.340 go and check on your neighbor if you have an elderly neighbor and you haven't heard from them

00:20:13.420 in a in a day or two go and knock on their door make sure they're okay uh hotels in vancouver are

00:20:21.340 there's a huge no vacancy sign every hotel is filled with with people desperate just to get

00:20:26.940 air conditioning so it really is a terrible terrible situation the likes of which has never

00:20:35.020 been faced uh in canada before with these temperatures um i mean we're not talking about

00:20:42.060 the weather just to pass the time it's a it's a significant event i mean it's hot here do we have

00:20:46.460 any known deaths in alberta from the heat wave we've had uh not to my knowledge it's been very

00:20:54.780 hot but it's not been like there's no humidity that is one of the great things i like about

00:21:00.620 Alberta summers yes these deaths are difficult to attribute it depends on your system too because

00:21:06.800 they're usually it's a contributing factor to somebody who's already in ill health though it

00:21:10.280 could certainly be the fine I know of a health issue that's like yes I would find it hard to

00:21:17.780 believe that there were at least a number of Albertans who unfortunately succumb know where

00:21:22.020 there was a heart condition or other things because they're dealing with this heat when

00:21:25.100 they typically wouldn't have there's been a few incidents there was a man drowned yesterday in

00:21:31.040 the Soyuz paddling with his child and it was pulled under the water the 11 year old girl

00:21:38.000 pulled out of Lake Mahogany in Calgary several river rescues so you know people are doing

00:21:44.840 whatever they can to cool off it's brown water and water is dangerous I'm gonna call those heat wave

00:21:52.460 deaths, but I suppose they would be tangentially. You know, it's more related to a heat wave

00:21:56.580 than some deaths were connected to COVID. So. They wouldn't be in the water if it wasn't

00:22:01.360 this hot. So, Corey, does this mean that British Columbia needs a heat lockdown? They need

00:22:07.300 to force people to shelter in place with air conditioning on pain of jail? Yeah. I mean,

00:22:13.180 if this, you know, for the zero risk cult, that's what it's becoming. And the ones who

00:22:17.600 feel that the state can save us from anything. Had this been something that's predictable and

00:22:21.840 we could see it coming. And in time, I think, yeah,

00:22:23.940 I wouldn't think for a second that does a step on a, uh, you know,

00:22:28.260 civil rights and things like that.

00:22:29.460 They'd say businesses with air conditioning must be forced to bring in people to

00:22:32.580 sit within it.

00:22:33.480 And if you've got a garden hose and somebody walks by and you don't spray them,

00:22:36.780 you're going to get a ticket. It sounds ridiculous, but you know,

00:22:41.280 this is where we're at. 0.67

00:22:42.360 Well instead of masks,

00:22:43.200 we can have those little air conditioner, a little,

00:22:44.940 little fans that you can strap to your head.

00:22:46.600 Yeah. I mean,

00:22:47.760 because of the unpredictability of the beginning and the ending of this,

00:22:49.980 The statists haven't been able to do that, but it's not not beyond belief by any measure.

00:22:59.200 So either way, you know, I'm just hoping that we get measures in and things to, you know, when this passes and the most people can shelter somewhere safely and cool down, because it really is very dangerous for a lot of people.

00:23:09.400 And it's it's quite serious.

00:23:10.480 I'm worried about the fire hazard to like the bush is tender dry right now.

00:23:15.500 and well I was just out on the weekend and you know in Central West Alberta kind of towards the

00:23:23.300 Drain Valley area and the fire risk at least on the signs I was going by these provincial parks

00:23:28.040 said extremely low I don't know how long that's gonna stay that way though we've got temperatures

00:23:33.740 like this Mike my kiddie pool I filled up before two days ago by the end of yesterday I had about

00:23:40.940 an inch of water left in the bottom of my house backs into the bush you know just out of town

00:23:44.540 there and I could tell you the spruce forest behind my place is dry. I mean, you grab those

00:23:48.780 twigs and needles and they just snap. So I imagine it's indicative of the rest of the eastern slope.

00:23:52.780 Yeah. Okay. Well, that's it for the weather report. We'll get, but you know, I think an

00:23:59.900 important one nonetheless. Can't ignore it. It's basically a natural disaster almost in

00:24:05.340 in the Vancouver area. Canceling Canada today. This has been, I don't know of any country that

00:24:13.340 does this where i i think there was uh jen gerson online had an interesting point uh on uh her column

00:24:21.180 this morning she said you know in the united states they've just created another holiday

00:24:25.500 emancipation day and it's a day that recognizes the darkest chapter probably in american history

00:24:32.060 um but also emancipation day is recognizing the end of that and the spirit of liberty that drove

00:24:37.580 over the end of slavery in the United States.

00:24:39.700 They didn't cancel independence day.

00:24:42.760 They canceled something great,

00:24:44.080 recognizing the independence and birth of their nation as a state.

00:24:48.540 They created another day to recognize it.

00:24:51.200 And we've just gone through Indigenous Day,

00:24:53.220 and I think that's a day that I think rightfully could be used

00:24:56.800 to reflect on things like residential.

00:24:59.080 I guess we're kind of coming back to our first topic

00:25:00.980 of burning churches here.

00:25:02.500 um but it was to you know they have a day for reflection reflecting on that kind of for lack

00:25:10.480 of better term original sin of america uh but the the drive is now to cancel canada day uh certain

00:25:17.480 cities and provinces across canada have uh to one degree or another announced they're canceling

00:25:24.040 canada day uh but it's it's certainly picked up some steam i guess we're just days away from it

00:25:28.420 uh here uh dave why don't you tell us uh where the cancel canada day movement's at

00:25:34.020 well it's still growing and still happening all across the country uh uh big cities like victoria

00:25:41.300 smaller municipalities like pentecton they've all canceled their canada day celebrations

00:25:51.060 basically in respect you know after the news of these these mass grave sites

00:25:56.180 the residential schools City of Edmonton maybe it is taking it a step

00:26:03.080 further mayor Don Iverson heard everybody to wear orange from Canada

00:26:10.120 to reflect on the role and the fate of indigenous people in Canada and and what

00:26:18.920 happened to them one counselor up there said no hang on a minute all the men

00:26:24.860 I'm sorry, Councillor John Jadik.

00:26:29.140 That's a very difficult, I think, Ukrainian name.

00:26:32.440 I always have trouble with that one.

00:26:33.400 That's why I deferred to you.

00:26:35.960 He says, not so fast, Mayor Iverson.

00:26:38.480 He's going to proudly wear red and white, celebrating Canada's multiculturalism.

00:26:45.260 He says, let's pick another day to celebrate or commemorate Indigenous people in the country.

00:26:53.660 So we're the only country probably that I can think of that the founding day, the day that everybody gets together and has a party in a backyard barbecue is causing division only in Canada.

00:27:10.220 But it's still strongly felt and I'm sure probably there'll be more Canada Day cancellations in the few hours left before the party starts.

00:27:23.660 it's Canada Day tomorrow it is holy crap well yeah you see how much time I

00:27:28.940 booked off yes I won't be in the office by the way tomorrow oh thanks for let me 0.74

00:27:34.300 know no worries Corey this attack on Canada Day I mean you know destroying

00:27:43.160 statutes of Sir John A McDonald if I didn't know better I would think that

00:27:48.540 this movement is trying to delegitimize the state or nation, I don't know, Canada's maybe not really

00:27:55.840 a nation, but it's a state, trying to delegitimize the moral foundation of the Canadian state.

00:28:02.560 If I didn't know, but what do you think they're trying to achieve? Because every nation has myths.

00:28:08.400 The angry people, you know, on the ground that we talked about, even the ones that go to the

00:28:11.680 extremes of burning churches or desecrating statues or things like that, that's one group, 1.00

00:28:15.680 but it's these self-flagellating virtue signaling idiots that we have in office that are feeding it 1.00

00:28:21.040 with this crap like cancelling Canada Day. You know, they had Ninchy, you know, our blessed 1.00

00:28:25.900 mayor in Calgary was going on about that the other day, regretfully almost saying we're going to have

00:28:31.180 some fireworks, but otherwise people should not celebrate, but take it as a moment of reflection. 0.99

00:28:35.860 You know, I kissed my ass, Ninchy, of all people, because let's talk about it. You got 364 other 0.98

00:28:41.440 days to reflect on what Canada's done wrong. Let's do one day to reflect on what Canada's done right,

00:28:45.040 which is a lot. And the head, Ninchy, of all people. I mean, his parents came from, I believe,

00:28:49.740 Northern Africa. They took that chance. They came all the way over here. They raised a son

00:28:54.900 who actually raised up to become the mayor of one of the largest cities in Canada, respected

00:28:59.160 across the nation. That's telling me this is a damn good country. This is a place with a future 0.98

00:29:03.140 for people, with opportunity for people. I mean, as much as they're always saying we're this land

00:29:07.540 of racism, Ninchy, you'd be working in a Walmart if we were as racist as you imply we are. You're

00:29:11.760 mayor of bloody calgary so no we're going to celebrate it for one day and yeah i support 0.53

00:29:16.000 alberta independence i'm sick of the way confederation is i do not like the contract i

00:29:20.160 don't like the constitution but it's a part of our history and this nation in many ways

00:29:24.640 has done well by me and for one day i'll observe that and i'm just tired of these politicians

00:29:28.960 trying to make their point by crapping on canada day um nathan gita had uh an interesting column

00:29:35.600 on this topic, contemplating, you know, like the, you know, this delegitimization of Canada

00:29:44.140 has got to have some, you know, should the Western independence movement or the Alberta

00:29:50.720 independence movement be latching onto it? Because, I mean, there is virtually no good

00:29:56.040 economic reason or political reason for Canada, for Alberta to remain in Canada. The overwhelming

00:30:01.460 reason Albertans continue to remain in Canada is an emotional attachment. And what is an emotional

00:30:07.360 attachment to a country other than a set of myths and stories and symbols that we share and tell

00:30:12.880 each other? Flags, founding heroes, wars, institutions, virtues that we're supposed to

00:30:22.500 share. And if we're essentially all just a bunch of genocidal settler murderers, then clearly

00:30:31.300 there's the Canada's not a legitimate cohesion I guess we're just a bunch of nasty people so we 0.96

00:30:37.060 might as well just tear it down and rebuild anyways yeah and so he had an interesting point

00:30:40.880 on that and I agree with the position he took that that's not the foundation to build a new

00:30:47.040 country is just to because you know as terrible as Canada is as a federation in terms of how it

00:30:53.460 treats certain parts of it it's still a great country in the greater scheme of things it has

00:30:59.500 been on the right side of history more often than it's been on the wrong side. It is a tolerant place

00:31:05.120 more often than it's not tolerant. Just these people demand perfection in an artificial world

00:31:11.620 with artificial humans as they see fit. And as very flawed as Canada is, I think we should keep

00:31:19.280 our criticisms of Canada to what is fair, what is factual, what is reasonable, and not side with

00:31:26.400 those, I think, taking cheap shots at a country that doesn't deserve to be dragged through the

00:31:30.720 mud unreasonably. That doesn't mean we can't, you know, reflect reasonably, be introspective

00:31:36.880 about the things that have gone wrong. And absolutely, Canada has its blemishes, more so

00:31:42.100 than most of us were raised to believe. But I just don't think we should be hitching our wagon to

00:31:48.080 people who have so little respect for their own history. We don't want to change the national

00:31:53.980 anthem to whoa canada uh cory's right come on let's celebrate for one day we've had a long

00:32:02.860 long 18 months uh the end is sort of near don't forget tomorrow all the uh covet restrictions
