00:08:01.440I do. But I'll be perfectly happy if I don't have the opportunity to say it again in two more years.
00:08:06.960I'm not confident much is going to change. And in two years, I won't be talking about growing
00:08:11.880inflation. I'll be talking about hyperinflation. So have a look at Venezuela and see how well that
00:08:16.560all worked out. All the oil in the world won't save you if your government is out of control.
00:08:21.620So inflation, guys, you're just getting the first reality check on it. It's only going to go one
00:08:25.840direction until the government gets themselves under control. That's my rant for today. Now let's
00:08:31.640get on to the rest of the news that's breaking and what we're reporting on with our news editor,
00:08:35.780Dave Naylor. Hey Dave, how's it going? Thanks for cheering me up, Corey. Really needed that this
00:08:40.120morning. I'm here to brighten people's days. Boy, it was already bright enough. I'm crawling
00:08:44.940through downtown. We just had a dump of snow, you know, down roads that have obviously not seen a
00:08:51.560snowplow yet and all the bike lanes beside me are perfectly clear and dry it was just infuriating
00:08:57.780and of course there's not a cyclist in sight uh you know but it oh man sure kicked off my day on
00:09:03.980the wrong foot yeah well maybe you know you can get up there just kind of nudge a cyclist uh off
00:09:09.460to the side of the road later on make yourself feel a little better yeah no that would be wrong
00:09:13.560uh for the viewer who was asking about uh pat king he did appear in court yesterday the three
00:09:20.100new charges that were talked about last week were officially read to him, including perjury.
00:09:26.640And then it was just an up and down. He'll be back later, probably this time next week,
00:09:32.160he'll be back in court perhaps to try for bail again. Other stuff in the news, and it's been a
00:09:38.340busy morning, Corey. We've got, I think, 15 new pieces of content up already, and it's only 11.30.
00:09:45.600Premier Kenney announced this morning a multi-million dollar aid package to help Ukrainian refugees trying to flee Vladimir Putin, money that's going to go to help support them when they get to the province.
00:10:02.000I know an issue near and dear to your heart, Currie, as well as Derek, supply management.
00:10:09.100Tory hopeful Scott Atchison has become the first candidate to say he would end that form of supply management that covers poultry and dairy.
00:10:20.860And as you mentioned, we've got a story up by Ewa on inflation, 6.7%.
00:10:26.000percent uh last time it was this high was 1991 right after the government introduced the gst
00:10:33.840so there you go uh mike thomas our real estate guy has got his story up on canadian home sales
00:10:40.480finally starting to slow in uh in march uh led by declines in uh in the greater toronto area and
00:10:48.880and also calgary uh so that's uh finally starting to slow down uh we've got uh the phoenix pay
00:10:58.160system uh that's a boondoggle uh billions of dollars and uh still still costing millions
00:11:05.200of dollars uh every month to try and fix that uh a reporter in toronto jonathan bradley attended the
00:11:12.320the Pierre Polyev event there last night,
00:24:10.100Malcolm Roberts is going to be coming online from Australia and they have invited a Conservative
00:24:15.200Party of Canada candidates to speak. So yeah, it's going to be quite a conference. I think
00:24:21.200Danny's still working out his technical issues over there. We should hopefully get in to talk
00:24:25.100about them soon here and explain a little more about it. But in the meantime, let's see what
00:24:30.940else we got going on. I should show where it's held. I'm just looking through their website,
00:24:34.920all these speaker bios. It's at freedomtalk.ca. And let's see here. Where is the location?
00:24:44.420Your downtown Calgary? No, Northeast Calgary, I believe at a hotel there. There we go. It's
00:24:50.180at the conference at the Best Western and Plaza Hotel and Conference Center
00:24:55.120up in Northeast Calgary there. So check out freedomtalk.ca if you're looking to get in on
00:25:00.300that guest list, and hopefully we can get some sound out of Danny and be able to discuss it a
00:25:06.560little further. He's been holding those conferences for quite some time. A lot of these are regular
00:25:10.740guests he's had on to cover a lot of issues. As you can see from that guest list, they'll talk
00:25:14.820about Western Canadian issues, independence leading. Danny was very involved with the Wild
00:25:19.840Rose Party in the past with us, with Danielle Smith and myself. For those who might be honest,
00:25:25.580their conferences go a lot more smoothly than Danny's show appearances do. And he's just having
00:25:30.960some issues getting the sound rolling there. Maybe in the meantime, while Danny works on that,
00:25:36.200let's see what else we got in the news here. More stuff on the... Oh yeah, let's talk about that
00:25:44.740Phoenix. Let's talk about government inefficiency. Again, there's always more shared with us and
00:25:49.400stories of that. And that is with the Phoenix payroll system. I don't know if everybody's
00:25:53.480familiar with that. I like mocking it quite often because it's such a grand demonstration of how bad
00:25:58.660government is and how poorly they manage just about everything. It's a huge payroll system
00:26:03.200for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. I don't know how many federal civil servants they
00:26:08.060got. And they've not been able to get that thing to run right since they brought it in. It's been
00:26:13.980in for, I think, nearly a decade now. And they screwed up paychecks all over the place. It's
00:26:18.840costing millions and millions of dollars for them to be fixing up payroll errors, to get all that
00:26:23.600stuff together. I mean, this is the biggest organization in Canada, essentially, the federal
00:26:26.600government, and they can't even pay their own people correctly. You know those union contracts.
00:26:32.440I mean, I don't blame even civil servants. If your paycheck got screwed up, you want your money. You
00:26:38.040worked for it. I mean, you know, whether you're overpaid or whether you should have had that job
00:26:41.160or anything like that, well, that's a separate issue. As it is, that's what you're agreed for.
00:26:44.800Well, there's 25,000 former employees now, and they filed a claim for general damages to the government because the government screwed up their payroll that badly.
00:26:56.140Like any big business on the planet, that's one of the things that you have to do.
00:26:59.240If you've got employees, you need a payroll system.
00:27:42.440It's just for the screw ups. And this system has cost billions, billions, just to figure out how to pay employees, your government at work.
00:27:51.880So, I mean, again, when you get people campaigning on saying, you know, why the government should be larger, why they should be spending more, why they should be expanding.
00:28:01.220How can you look at the constant, chronic, inefficient failure of governments and say we need more of that?
00:28:09.420It's just bizarro world. I don't get it.
00:29:36.200So, I mean, it gave me a chance to kind of run down what you're doing, but maybe I'll get you to kind of encapsulate what freedom, your freedom talk is about.
00:29:44.920I mean, you've held a number of these over the last few years and you've got, well, this is your first kind of big, fully unrestrained one in a while.
00:29:51.360This is our first, you know, post-COVID event.
00:29:55.140We've had two or three during COVID, which, you know, presented their own challenges.
00:29:59.860But anyway, thankfully, that's behind us or hopefully it's behind us for the long run.
00:30:03.820And so, yes, we've got this. The theme of this conference is called meeting the return to freedom challenge. As you know, we've done meeting the climate change challenge, meeting the debt and deficit challenge, meeting the unity challenge.
00:30:16.800Well, this is going to be the meeting the return to freedom challenge. And so we've got a world class group of speakers. One of the things that I think that the point I would like to make is I really appreciate you getting me on and giving us some coverage.
00:30:29.760But one of the things we're trying to do is sort of facilitate a respectful discussion from all sides of the spectrum.
00:30:38.400Like I've had quite a few people call over the last few days saying, well, I'm not coming if they're coming and I'm not coming.
00:30:44.160Someone else calls and says, well, I'm not coming if they're coming.
00:30:46.840And I'm thinking, quite frankly, that's what's wrong with our political debate these days is like no one will go to the meeting where we're going to talk about both sides of the situation.
00:30:55.900And one of our major sponsors is the Modern Miracle Network, and we all know Michael Binion.
00:31:01.720But one of the things I really appreciate him for is the fact that he's prepared to talk to people from all sides of the spectrum.
00:31:10.180As you know, like-minded people didn't develop the tar sands.
00:31:14.660It was a whole group of people thinking differently, looking at the same problem.
00:31:18.580And together they came up with something which, quite frankly, is the engine of Canada and one of the miracles of the modern world.
00:31:24.440So I would just invite everybody to try and join us.
00:31:27.860Yeah, well, and Michael Binion's a good one to bring up when you're talking about unity.
00:31:33.720Well, he's been on the show when I was running Suits and Boots.
00:31:37.060And it kind of reminded me, like, what Michael's really taken on is getting all of these disparate energy groups together and at least marching in the same order and together.
00:31:45.540Because they've got common causes, but we're still scrapping with each other.
00:31:48.580It reminds me of the gun show I was at last weekend, too.
00:31:51.600We were talking about the 90s and how there's so many gun lobby groups, and a lot of them, again, can't stand each other, won't be in the same room together.
00:31:57.920We used to have the Law-Abiding Unregistered Firearms Association in the 90s, and then the RFOA with the Responsible Firearms Association, Owners Association.
00:32:07.260And then there was the NFA, and none of them would all talk to each other.
00:32:10.000I think we're a little better now, but I'm glad you brought that up because we're not going to get stuff done if we're not going to get in the same room together.
00:33:07.280And sort of his theme is if you want better answers, ask better questions.
00:33:11.460And so one of the things that we're planning on doing is asking some questions of our participants.
00:33:16.620And we've got quite a few people signed up to watch online.
00:33:19.780And we're going to try and facilitate a respectful discussion on a whole range of sort of returning to freedom, both with climate and COVID.
00:36:58.360It's interacting with the other attendees.
00:37:00.200You know, not necessarily the keynote speakers.
00:37:01.800It's the chance to talk with each other and rub shoulders with just other concerned citizens going to these conferences.
00:37:09.500Back when I used to smoke, I used to find the discussions at the smoke doors sometimes more important than any other part of the conference in itself.
00:37:16.580You know, just reminding people why it's important to sign up and get out to these in person.
00:37:20.080It's not the same as a YouTube video or something like that.
00:37:25.400And I mean, you're right. And I think people I mean, I mean, we could sit at home and you could spend 24 hours a day sitting at home watching videos.
00:37:32.380But there's something about going there and the interaction and, you know, visiting with people, getting to make friendships.
00:37:38.300We've got, you know, quite a group of followers that this is this is sort of one of the things on their their agenda for the year where they go and touch base with their new group of freedom friends.
00:37:48.180And I don't know if any of you saw my tweet in our invite.
00:37:51.900The quote was actually from J.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
00:37:58.200But basically the fellow said, what are we doing?
00:46:00.460Well, I really appreciate it. And it's like you might've heard me saying a bit in the introduction.
00:46:04.400I mean, I've got a bit of an idea of what NFTs are, but if you can kind of, before we move on
00:46:10.220of the other things break down a little bit of what it actually is and then and then we can move
00:46:15.120on to why and what your your particular release is and what it's looking to do yeah i can jump in on
00:46:20.620that i mean nft stands for non-fungible token which is basically a fancy way of saying it's a
00:46:25.760one-of-a-kind digital item that users can buy own trade uh some nfts have functions like digital art
00:46:34.120they look cool others are utility based access to websites or participations in events so it's
00:46:40.760basically like a rare piece of art that can also act as a member's card that's kind of what it is
00:46:45.720and then what it does or what it can enable you to do a whole different slew of things well so yeah
00:46:51.000it's a it's a unique product that somebody's created that's the main thing is it has to be
00:46:54.360unique uh or in a sense or limited i mean in your case you've put out a limited number of things
00:46:59.640with your release these tokens uh i mean we hear about some bizarre ones there there was what a
00:47:03.960person selling uh farts in a jar or something i didn't hear about that one but i'm not looking
00:47:10.360up it's uh you know the truth is stranger than fiction sort of thing but i guess it allows for
00:47:14.760creativity but some things are more serious than others but she raised six figures with that uh
00:47:19.400you know bless her her butt um well put well people have been selling weird stuff long before
00:47:26.200nfts that ever came on the scene that's a very valid point i mean as long as we had public
00:47:30.760trading so you guys then uh with this uh it's called the creative hustler key so these have
00:47:36.840got uh and you call it minting right so you've created these and there's a limited number of
00:47:42.120them that you've just released yeah that's correct so minting essentially means creating something on
00:47:47.080the blockchain uh blockchain for people who don't know is uh distributed network around the world
00:47:52.840backed up by thousands if not tens of thousands of computers just depending on the network
00:47:57.720um and what it does is it it sequesters new entries new bits of information in blocks
00:48:04.200and as new blocks get formed they get they get cemented into that block and stored across all
00:48:09.080those thousands of computers around the world meaning it's immutable it's unforgeable if one
00:48:13.560person tries to say um you know oh i i didn't buy that or i didn't spend that money or i do own that
00:48:19.560well it gets compared against all the other computers on the network and pretty easily
00:48:23.080shows that actually you're lying so no so as information gets added it just gets put on
00:48:28.280block by block on the chain creates this massive forever back ledger of transactions and items
00:48:35.240okay so pulling it i guess more into adam's turf this is tied in with your scorgie
00:48:39.560productions and then this is a means of raising funds for more productions i guess
00:48:44.440a combination of that but also really connecting and making a community and a utility to it because
00:48:50.520when we dug into this and shane did a lot of great research on nfts and which kind of which ones
00:48:55.280stand the test of time and really provide value to their customers and which ones are just art
00:49:00.300pieces which you know some people don't really see the value in that but if you're not a fine
00:49:04.120arts collector then you know that probably wouldn't connect with you if you're not into
00:49:07.240fancy rolexes or fancy cars then a fancy nft probably isn't your thing either so what we
00:49:12.260wanted to do was to provide all three yes we have great artwork uh you know a digital animator out
00:49:17.220of calgary did a fantastic job creating all the world but really what we're excited about is the
00:49:21.700community and utility we're going to provide with it so if you're a member if you hold a creative
00:49:26.580hustler key then anytime if you're in the film industry you want to connect with us you want to
00:49:30.900learn you want our contacts you want to understand you want to connect to distributors you want to
00:49:35.700get budgets you want to get things we're always available that's part of the utility that we're
00:49:39.540providing if you're a tri-key holder which means you have three and you burn them into the one
00:49:43.860then you're open for the maximum benefits of like winning trips to chance to be a producer on set so
00:49:48.980if we're filming with one of the various talents be that michael bisbing dolf longren you'll get a
00:49:53.460chance to be a producer for a day or you get to be you know uh come in for a recording session so
00:49:58.660because we kept experiencing that people wanted when we tell them where we're going what we're
00:50:02.500filming people like man that sounds so cool i'd love to experience that so we thought this is a
00:50:06.660great way that we could allow people to do that while still giving them value in a creative token
00:50:11.860with the creative hustle key okay so and uh so your production company you're a pretty prolific
00:50:17.460one and a canadian-based one at that right well thank you yeah we're right out of edmonton alberta
00:50:21.940and uh i i i guess we keep hearing we're prolific we just love what we do and we we do get to tell
00:50:27.860some incredible stories and travel the world and do some really cool things so uh and i mean we've
00:50:32.980most recently heard which is pretty cool our distributor uh on our last film bisbing which
00:50:37.220uh released with universal pictures uh we actually just set records with them as one of their best
00:50:43.780released documentaries so pretty proud of our team to accomplish that out of edmonton alberta and
00:50:48.660and apparently we did it back to back as they said this only beats our last documentary which
00:50:53.780was also produced by our team called inmate number one the rise of danny dreyer so uh yeah we're
00:50:59.380we're still geeking out about that and kind of getting the word out about that we we just got
00:51:02.980that message last week from universal well everything with danny trejo is always cool
00:51:07.380there's no avoiding that you can never be bored seeing anything his so this has been a limited
00:51:13.300thing so it's kind of gives a i guess you could say a transferable vip sort of access to to your
00:51:19.620company and productions in a you know i guess in a nutshell yeah that's exactly right it's so
00:51:24.340essentially the reason we wanted to get into nfts is because we've always liked to innovate with
00:51:28.340square g productions i mean even before i joined on with adam he was you know he had facebook
00:51:32.660groups to some of his films over a million people back in 2007 uh back when legitimate businesses
00:51:38.500would laugh at people and say uh oh that's cute you've got a facebook group uh what's that good
00:51:43.140for um and then even then in kicks um in 2013 he raised 240 000 on kickstarter before crowdfunding
00:51:50.020was even a recognized term uh for one of his films so we like the idea of innovating um what nfts
00:51:56.100offer artists and creators which is so novel is uh full control and they can they can distribute it
00:52:02.180how they want they can take a hundred percent of royalties unlike platforms like spotify or itunes
00:52:07.060which take a huge chunk of people's revenue even youtube for example will you know sell ad space
00:52:12.180and take the bulk of the revenue um and artists can also program and create a royalties so you
00:52:17.460can bake in a two and a half five and a half or five percent uh royalty so anytime that nft gets
00:52:22.580sold down the line you get a portion of that that's kind of like the old picasso problem it's
00:52:27.300you know he don't died broke because he would sell his paintings for whatever 100 bucks worth at the
00:52:32.500time um but now fast forward hundreds of years later and they're selling for tens of millions
00:52:36.820well if he had painted that and minted it into an nft you know his estate would be getting that
00:52:42.020residual revenue in perpetuity so it's exciting that it empowers uh creatives but what it also
00:52:47.700allows us to do is bring bring the audience and our community closer to our work because
00:52:52.660we organize everyone through a program called discord that allows us to do live calls with
00:52:58.020our team uh with the talent that we work with we're going to implement community voting for
00:53:02.660creative hustler key holders so as we get down the line we might say hey we've got a couple
00:53:06.900projects on you know in the hopper what would the community like us to see tackle first or
00:53:11.380even get input on certain rough cuts or certain creative decisions um so as adam alluded to
00:53:16.820earlier it's really a way to bring people into the creative process of what we do and it just allows
00:53:21.540us to manage and utilize the the community and implement the utility even providing like token
00:53:27.380gated access to certain things so token gated means if you own the nft it's in your wallet
00:53:32.420you connect your wallet it verifies it and then that gets you past the the gate to whatever
00:53:36.740content that is whether it's our documentary catalog of films or it could be uh you know
00:53:41.700know certain channels that only members get to access yeah well and with this modern technology
00:53:46.840i mean we've got this ability now for more independent producers than we've ever seen
00:53:50.840before ways to distribute good product as you said i mean they laughed off a facebook page and
00:53:55.880now with a million followers hey that's a an asset in itself i mean to reach out if you've got a
00:54:00.620production i mean just distribution is the other half of it uh so i mean this unique means to have
00:54:06.440i mean hollywood and and documentary productions anything of that level to a consumer used to be
00:54:11.680just out of reach. You never imagined you would ever see any inside glimpses, you know, 20 years
00:54:15.040ago, 30 years ago, or potentially even have input. So this is sort of making an interactive
00:54:19.360experience, I guess you could say. Exactly. And we're seeing it. It's interesting because Shane
00:54:24.340kept bringing it up to me and I was almost the old dog, right? And I was like, oh man, it's so
00:54:28.240hard. Like yourself, Corey, I was like, I don't really understand it. And it's confusing. And a
00:54:31.880lot of times when things are confusing and we're kind of set in our ways, we don't take the time
00:54:35.200to fully understand it. But, you know, on top of what Shane was educating me on, what really sealed
00:54:39.760the deal for me is when i saw all the major distributors starting to put this on their
00:54:43.560contract agreements for rights right they started putting nft rights and started putting these things
00:54:48.000because they're preparing for the shift right just like when netflix got streaming rights from
00:54:52.140everybody because all the distributors said oh nobody's going to be streaming content it's either
00:54:56.540theater tv or physical right and boy do they look stupid now right like they gave away all that
00:55:01.360content that's how netflix gained its marketplace so having something like this where we can have
00:55:05.780access to the community and allow them to fund something but you can keep track of it like even
00:55:10.020now you get distributor reports right and i can't say which one but one of our distributors had
00:55:14.820miscellaneous charges of 70 000 and like we can't even argue it because we want to work with them
00:55:20.820again right but they just what is 70 000 of miscellaneous charges where if this was on the
00:55:25.940blockchain we could see exactly what those are where they were sold what countries they were
00:55:30.260sold to how much revenue is coming in right now the whole film industry is reliant on distributor
00:55:35.380reports to be honest and accurate. And they send you a two-page report saying, this is what the
00:55:38.780world sold. And you have to just say, okay, that sounds right to me. I don't know if it's right or
00:55:42.960not. Well, and nobody in the entertainment business has ever been unprincipled before.
00:55:47.580Yeah. They're all totally above board and pay you to the letter all the time.
00:55:53.160Yeah. Well, and it's just very interesting. So it's still, it's an investment though. I guess
00:55:56.220you're looking at that, you're buying an asset and you're hoping, I mean, there's always a risk. So
00:56:00.160it's going to be something that could rise in value or drop. Presumably if your production
00:56:03.420business is really becoming even more of an item. Your token is going to be much more in demand and
00:56:08.720you could theoretically sell it if you wanted to for more than you purchased it for. It's got that
00:56:12.940sort of value, right? That's exactly right. I mean, unlike the conventional membership,
00:56:18.760you can sell it. It is an asset on the blockchain, so we don't recommend it. But if you ever need the
00:56:23.000liquidity, we don't judge. People's personal situations are always different. I think what
00:56:29.020we're going to see is as we start rolling out these experiential giveaways these basically
00:56:33.640experiences that money can't buy you know like adam mentioned days on set as a producer studio
00:56:38.820sound mix sessions uh vip red carpet premieres like we've got we've got the the horsepower in
00:56:44.920in talent that we work with guys like like michael bisbing dolf lundgren danny trejo connor mcdavid
00:56:51.320grant fear you know we've got the horsepower there that that people are going to want to come
00:56:55.040to these events and to hold a creative hustler key and have the chance to be selected i mean right
00:56:59.280now we've got just over 10 of our our creative hustler keys minted so to over 100 so if you own
00:57:05.200one right now we're planning to do the first giveaway in may you've got a one in just over
00:57:09.320100 chance i mean as these things start to sell out closer to 999 your chances are going to go
00:57:14.000down but at the same time as more people buy it the supply gets less demand gets higher the value
00:57:19.860should theoretically go up unlike most projects in the nft space or a good portion of them
00:57:25.140we're not concerned with with the price on the secondary market for people we're concerned with
00:57:28.980long-term development uh delivering on community and utility that we promised so it really isn't
00:57:35.860a hype project like some of the other ones it's it's more something that's near and dear to adam
00:57:40.100and my heart that we're planning to to do as long as we keep making films which we i think plan to
00:57:45.380to do for a long time right on as long as my body will let me i will continue to do it and and you
00:57:50.220know just to add to a shame thought i've already put that beautifully but you know we we really
00:57:54.400want like we've already been helping where you know another kind of thing we wanted to break in
00:57:58.340the film industry when i was coming up is that a lot of producers never wanted to help you right
00:58:02.560like anytime you try to figure out budgets or how the financing work there's this icky that's another
00:58:08.160word for it of feeling of where if they helped you somehow that would take away from what they were
00:58:12.020doing and ever since I started Scorgy Productions I've always wanted to shatter that if a young
00:58:16.800filmmaker reached out to me and said Adam I wanted can you help me with this can you help me with
00:58:21.300that or even when I get you know our team would get paid to speak at panels at Banff or various
00:58:25.540festivals like people would always come be like I love how candid you were and you shared your
00:58:29.880budgets and your financials and how this all works and we've seen it paid forward where we've had two
00:58:35.440or three young filmmakers then get green lit on something and hire us right because they're like
00:58:39.360adam you guys never asked for anything you know and you gave us all this information that like
00:58:43.520we would have killed for in film school that they didn't provide for us so kind of like a union or
00:58:48.560a lot of these film unions and stuff like that where you pay annual dues and you get insurance
00:58:52.780discounts but and maybe some connection is we're like look you do a one-time fee and you get this
00:58:57.920and you got us forever right you can connect and we'll provide you with all of our assets we'll
00:59:02.420even connect you to some of our talent which is a huge no-no for producers you're never supposed
00:59:06.340to connect somebody else with like the president of super channel or your connection at Netflix,
00:59:10.380right? But that's what we're trying to shake with this community. And that's where on top of
00:59:14.420the, you know, just the value of the creative usher key is the utility and community. I think
00:59:19.000we're building is there's nobody that we found yet doing anything like it. Great. So I guess just
00:59:24.860to point out, you've, you've set this up and set up in the blockchain. There's only going to be
00:59:29.340just under a thousand released. What does keep you from releasing a comparable product later on?
00:59:36.340Oh, basically, our word. I mean, we've delivered high quality, innovative, award winning work for the last 15 years, and we're putting our name behind this. So, you know, if we go in and screw this up, our butts are on the line. I mean, there's plenty of NFT projects out there that have anonymous founders, you know, who sell out 10,000 piece collections, and then just, boof, they're in the wind. It's called a rug pull in the industry. But we thought it was very important to put our names and faces right front and center of this project.
01:00:07.220so we can guarantee there's never going to be another creative hustler key made
01:00:11.220we will do collections with our documentary stars down the line but people who hold the creative
01:00:16.260hustler key early on will always be priority prioritized in those future drops especially
01:00:21.540people who hold a tri-key and that's all i can say for now but yeah no fair enough and i just want
01:00:27.860yeah you bank on us and we're going to make sure that you're rewarded right just like we did when
01:00:31.780when we did when uh we raised 242 000 on kickstarter people didn't really understand
01:00:36.100crowdfunding they didn't really understand what they were going to get in their rewards and if
01:00:39.300their rewards are going to be fulfilled and there's a lot of people on crowdfunding sites
01:00:42.740that didn't get their rewards filled either right and i remember daunting i had to hire a whole crew
01:00:47.140we went way over in shipping costs because we had 3 000 rewards from all over the world and
01:00:51.460you know shipping a dvd in alberta is not that expensive shipping into sweden or something where
01:00:55.780they wanted it right and making a pal format all of a sudden it cost us like four times the price
01:01:00.500but we made sure everybody was happy in those things i remember i had to bring on i thought i
01:01:04.900would be able to handle it all by myself i had to bring on a team of like 10 people to help me
01:01:08.180because it was such a daunting process but we made sure everybody was there we responded to
01:01:12.500every message and yeah at times people are frustrated i haven't got it yet and that's
01:01:16.660we're going to continue to do here that's why we're doing interviews with you and we're always
01:01:19.620available on the discord you can reach out to us through social media like yeah we can't always
01:01:23.860guarantee we're going to respond in five minutes but you will get a response from us right just
01:01:27.460Just like, that's how we built our social media followings is people like, I can't believe
01:01:30.640I'm actually hearing from the producers and stuff.
01:14:18.040And, you know, as Premier Kennedy liked to think he was going to model himself and be the next Ralph Klein, it didn't turn out that way.
01:14:24.320But if you looked at interviews with Ralph Klein, Klein didn't make a lot of regrets about how his time was as premier or things like that.
01:14:31.760He spoke, you know, he was as much of a candid premier as you would ever find.
01:14:35.700And one of the areas he always said, though, that he kind of regretted after the fact was that he didn't go far enough pursuing what they used to call back then the third way health care.
01:14:43.280And that was a third way of allowing more private public partnerships and provision and things like that while maintaining the universal system because he just, the battles were so hard with the unions and the entrenched AHS bureaucrats and people like, you know, Dr. Yu, who that was one thing, I guess the Kennedy government, you know, give them credit.
01:15:01.140They fired her as these parasitic bureaucrats, these $700,000 a year bureaucrats who are beholden1.00
01:15:07.460to the system and inefficiencies. They've got to be flushed out of there and they're not going to1.00
01:15:12.860go out easily. If you've ever been out in the bush and dealt with wood ticks, as I used to as a
01:15:17.820surveyor, a wood tick never grabs harder than when you're trying to pull them out. So it takes a lot
01:15:23.120of political courage to take on those vested interests and actually change the system. And I
01:15:28.080don't see anybody in office right now who has that courage. So right now we're doing the other
01:15:32.180stupidity, as I said, is bidding wars to try and get these professionals moving along, but you're
01:15:36.940running along plugging holes in a ship that's full of holes instead of rebuilding the ship,
01:15:41.180which is what you need to do. I don't know what it'll take. I think we're just going to have to
01:15:45.980crash and burn and get worse, but I'm not going to celebrate these programs that are coming from
01:15:51.520Alberta where they celebrate and say, look at this thing. We managed to bring a bunch more
01:15:54.480professionals over with incentives. Well, that's fine until the next province comes up with better
01:15:58.640incentives and steals back a whole bunch of them. Why don't we look at the whole system?
01:16:02.560I'll keep nagging about that whole systematic change, but I'm not going to hold my breath on it.
01:16:07.800And let's see, maybe don't chase them away by forcing them on unpaid leave of vaccines. Yeah,
01:16:12.560that's another thing. Absolutely. The idiotic vaccine mandates, I think that's still going on
01:16:16.660in BC and some other areas. I mean, some they chased off and basically fired. And then they
01:16:21.740said they took their policy back and said, oh, come on back. All is forgiven. Well, not everybody
01:16:26.480came back. They said to hell with you. You fired me for not wanting to choose to get vaccinated.
01:16:31.200What a brilliant time to kick out so many. And then we're talking health professionals of all
01:16:35.180sorts, doctors, nurses, but laboratory staff, even cleaning staff, you name it. If they worked in
01:16:40.100healthcare and they were very important, we drove them all out. So that didn't help. No, that's a
01:16:44.560very good point from Wendy on that. Cheryl Dawn asking if the UCP gets a new leader, can low
01:16:51.400and Barnes be allowed back into the party. You know, I guess that's up to, I think Mr.
01:16:56.880Lohan, Todd's always been very popular. Drew, he's really, a lot of bombs we'd see. I think
01:17:02.720typically it would be a caucus decision. You know, that's theoretically how it should happen
01:17:06.720in a party system. If you're going to kick somebody out, you do it with caucus. And likewise,
01:17:10.620I think if you were going to bring them back in, and I'm just speculating here, it would be a
01:17:15.240caucus vote, but maybe for the sake of unity and trying to build a big party, I think under a new
01:17:19.600leader, they probably would try and bring them all back in. Pamela saying disband the government
01:17:24.640and start again. Well, disbanding would be difficult, though I understand what you're
01:17:31.200saying. That's where I go towards independence. I look at a way that we could have a province vote
01:17:36.400for independence and get to that brink or actually out. And that's when you get the sort of a similar
01:17:41.220of disbanding the government. But now we've got to redraft a whole new agreement, whether it's with
01:17:45.200a province inside confederation or outside of it and just make your own provincial constitution
01:17:50.560and we'll deal with foreign affairs with canada and the rest of it how we will after the fact
01:17:54.540because otherwise uh the government system will be difficult uh denise saying change the the
01:17:59.940health care system from the top down find the corruption we need accountability and hire the
01:18:04.000unvaccinated back yeah hire back we're shorthanded guys vaccination doesn't stop the spread we've0.65
01:18:08.700proven that now it's just an annoying point of principle that some vaccination fascinated people
01:18:13.400are stuck on. I mean, again, I've been supportive of vaccination. I still think it's a good idea.
01:18:18.320I know everybody gets wound up when they say it, but I don't believe in forcing it. I don't believe
01:18:21.720in firing people for not being vaccinated. I don't believe in banning people from getting
01:18:24.940on planes or in restaurants for not being vaccinated. Let people choose and then lay off
01:18:29.900them. Leave them alone. It's not saving the public or making them any safer by trying to force and
01:18:35.960coerce and nag and harass people into vaccinations that they don't want to get. And then we all end1.00
01:18:41.100up paying the fact. Look, if I go into the hospital with a dire injury, I slipped on the sidewalk and
01:18:47.060broke a bone and I'm bleeding out of the head, I am not going to care if those health professionals
01:18:52.460are vaccinated or not. I just want them to be competent and sewing me back up and setting my
01:18:57.160bones and doing a good job as the vaccinated and unvaccinated ones I'm sure are capable of doing.1.00
01:19:02.160So let's keep as many of them on the ground working as we can. Not to mention our ambulances1.00
01:19:06.940again are short service. That's another area that's just gone to crap and we're suffering for
01:19:13.460it. But again, nobody's creative enough to come up with solutions more than just throwing more
01:19:17.380money at it. It doesn't work, guys. It's a bottomless pit. And not to mention our money's
01:19:21.600getting to be worth less and less and less than we have. Lori is saying, you know, yes, hire our
01:19:27.540own. Stop bringing them here. Yeah. You know, if we've got some unemployed health professionals0.99
01:19:31.120here, we've got more that are graduating by all means. But also we've got such a growth thing
01:19:35.940going on in our healthcare, we need to bring in professionals from around the world, uh, you know,
01:19:39.840around the province and everywhere. And we get some fantastic professionals from around the world.
01:19:43.600We got to keep making us a better destination for people to set up and take their careers.
01:19:48.740But thanks enough for today. I think I'm going to talk about the, I, again, uh, for tomorrow to
01:19:53.700remind you, and again, follow us on all those social media majors. You know, that's important.
01:19:57.440We got specials popping up and things going on all over. Danielle Smith's been doing her show.
