00:00:56.600down on the screen and here in a second but uh don't be shy call uh let me know where you're
00:01:01.960calling from name and what you want to talk about the show is about you guys right now i mean we're
00:01:06.040making it about current events it's been a busy week and we got lots to talk about uh i want to
00:01:11.080talk about the the new tariffs the premier's meeting in pei um the secrecy around the gordy
00:01:19.480how bridge uh deal uh and and the bridge reopening uh what else inflation uh the weird viral incident
00:01:28.920of the guy with the kerpan at the uh at the gym there at the good life gym and things like that
00:01:35.080so but before we dive too deep into the show quickly uh just just a reminder um unfortunate
00:01:42.440event going on in calgary like i think we're on day seven or eight a young boy named parker wells
00:01:49.480has been missing um parker is diagnosed on the autism spectrum and his parents are worried that
00:02:00.160he might have wandered off and he has a tendency to go hide and he might and close doors behind
00:02:06.340him and he might be hiding somewhere closing a door behind him he might be in the shed he might
00:02:12.640be he could be anywhere and so the search is ongoing so if you have any uh information anything
00:02:19.460You know, there's websites, there's places, there's even calls for volunteers, I guess, to go do some looking.
00:02:28.780My kids are all grown and luckily I had very healthy kids, but I did have an adventurous youngster.
00:02:38.040So my youngest, Raymond, went missing twice, two memorable times in our life.
00:02:43.480and one of them was when we were camping uh we were camping up by dunvegan up in the peace river
00:02:49.560area he was the youngest at the time he was about three or four and his sister his oldest sister is
00:02:56.760you know seven eight years older than him so 11. the kids were gone went for a walk around the
00:03:01.720campground sarah comes back with nick and patrick and i said like where's your brother raymond and
00:03:08.760sarah kind of looked at me like i don't know i'm like what do you mean you don't know he was with
00:03:12.440you you know and i and i don't blame her i mean it wasn't necessarily it wasn't her responsibility
00:03:17.720to look after raymond but anyways we mobilized everybody in the campground to go looking for
00:03:22.280raymond and eventually we found raymond had wandered down by one of the creeks and was you
00:03:27.080know throwing rocks in the creek but but you know those those few minutes where we were looking for
00:03:32.360him were frantic and gut-wrenching and uh i can't imagine what's going through the minds of uh of
00:03:39.240parker's parents so uh good luck with that and i hope it comes out with a happy ending um all right
00:03:45.800so i listen i'm gonna jump right into it um you know the the title of the show today uh trump
00:03:51.960slaps more tariffs on canada we got to talk about that we got to talk about that i mean it's it's a
00:03:58.760it's a year and a half we're in a trade war and we're losing the trade war but but i want to go
00:04:03.720back to to sort of the beginnings and I want to ask people a question right have you ever you know
00:04:10.900have you ever taken something have you ever received a benefit that you didn't pay for like
00:04:16.760I don't know have you ever you know used somebody else's wi-fi you got a neighbor who didn't secure
00:04:22.080their wi-fi and you got to use their wi-fi or back in the good old days maybe you lived in an
00:04:26.300apartment with a with a bunch of people and you had you know coax splitters and you would split
00:04:31.960cable uh have you ever gone to work like do you have an employer somewhere that provides you with
00:04:40.040a plug-in for your car and over the year and you've bought yourself an electric car and now
00:04:45.320you plug in your car there even though the plug-in was just to keep your car warm uh or maybe
00:04:51.320somebody's taking advantage of you right maybe you know maybe you're the person who has a nice boat
00:04:56.520you had a nice boat at the lake and nobody else has a boat at the lake and for years everybody
00:05:00.920took uh you know jumped on your boat went for rides on the boat if you went out water skiing
00:05:05.560you invited people and you never asked for a dime for that boat but you certainly appreciate it if
00:05:10.920somebody said you know here's 20 bucks for gas for after an afternoon of water skiing right so
00:05:18.040people have been on the receiving end of that or on the giving end and and then all of a sudden
00:05:21.960you know what happens when when the neighbor suddenly says hey uh uh i'm not i'm not gonna
00:05:27.720give i put a password on the wi-fi and then you get upset because your neighbor put a password
00:05:33.400on the wi-fi and you're no longer getting free wi-fi well is that you know what what's the
00:05:40.200situation there well i think the situation there i'm getting to something that's what to me that's
00:05:46.520what happened with the us when donald trump got elected okay so donald trump got elected
00:05:51.400two years ago and donald trump has always said it clearly that um he felt in that a lot of nations
00:05:59.480around the world had been taken advantage of the of their goodwill but in particular he he turned
00:06:06.040and he pointed fingers at us at canada right so we uh we live north of the u.s so we're granted
00:06:14.120huge protection right sure we we you know we we had our own military but in reality if somebody
00:06:20.200if the russians came over the arctic and invaded us the americans would be there the americans are
00:06:25.160the ones who patrolled the the coast the north and the atlantic and and the arctic and protected
00:06:32.440vessels when when we have a ship that's transporting goods from from japan back to canada or vice versa
00:06:39.000and those ships are in international waters and they get in distress they're calling americans
00:06:44.040canadians are calling on americans all the time um the anyway so lots of things lots of examples
00:06:51.000of that you know american car manufacturing having divisions in the in canada and building cars here
00:06:57.240and so forth so donald trump gets elected and and he's got a he's got a beef right he he doesn't
00:07:05.240like the trade imbalance between our two countries okay there's always going to be a trade imbalance
00:07:10.440but he doesn't but in his mind it's it's less than it's worse than it should be so there's a
00:07:15.720trade imbalance uh we are opening he's opening his border he's allowing canadian banks to do
00:07:22.480business in canada but we don't reciprocate uh we have two you know we force his manufacturers
00:07:28.960to provide services that are bilingual there's the dairy cartel there's all sorts of things right so
00:07:34.320trump is just upset and he gets elected and he's mandated by his people to reform their economy
00:07:41.840turn things around bring back manufacturing into the u.s and make america great again and
00:07:48.800and that for us it's unfortunate it had a negative consequence on us right right away but to me that
00:07:57.520should have just been a wake-up call okay it's just a wake-up call we were lucky we got the
00:08:02.800free internet we were lucky for years and finally when when the neighbor says enough is enough and
00:08:08.640i'm not giving you the free internet so donald trump says enough is enough i'm not letting you
00:08:12.720just build cars and and export and re-export them back to my country uh at a higher cost i'm going
00:08:20.720to put an end to that and i'm going to put tariffs on your products well i was always of the opinion
00:08:27.360that we shouldn't retaliate with tariffs that that was a wake-up call and that we should have just
00:08:32.080used it as an opportunity to smarten up and get more efficient but canada decided to retaliate
00:08:40.700with tariffs and so there's only and there's only a handful of countries at the and at the beginning
00:08:45.560trump didn't just pick on canada he picked on a lot of countries broadly and he implied imposed
00:08:51.640tariffs on a lot of nations and by the way a tariff is not a penalty on us on the exporting
00:08:58.080nation it's a penalty on his own country right so when he put a tariff on um you know call it uh
00:09:04.560lumber he's not punishing us per se he's saying to the americans find a cheaper place to buy your
00:09:11.120lumber but now in effect once the tariffs in place yes we might lose a bit of market share but what's
00:09:18.400our incentive if the tariff is 10 then reduce your cost by 10 and stay competitive so donald
00:09:24.240trump was a wake-up call but and it was a wake-up call to a lot of nations and a lot of nations
00:09:30.320responded in a very positive way they said yeah yeah sorry sorry we agree and and we're going to
00:09:35.920rectify things we'll we'll we'll buy more from you guys we'll adjust the trade imbalance and so forth
00:09:40.880and so forth but then you got canada that doubles down and immediately says no we're going to impose
00:09:45.680tariffs on you counter tariffs we're going to strike back and then you got carny going over
00:09:51.360the top saying you know the relationship is forever damaged and we can't count on the americans
00:09:56.080anymore and we're going to start the new world order and and uh and and antagonize and then you
00:10:01.920got doug ford who stepped in right remember doug ford like a year ago pouring uh um you know
00:10:09.520running ads in the u.s during the the world series criticizing donald trump and so forth and so forth
00:10:15.600and and this rhetoric between our two nations has kept on going and trump hasn't changed
00:10:21.960his stance fundamentally he keeps repeating it that you know he doesn't well there's a couple
00:10:28.320of things he doesn't like he doesn't one of the things he really doesn't like is the dairy cartel
00:10:32.520the fact that we are protecting a small uh industry in that's that's really only in a
00:10:38.660couple of provinces we're protecting the dairy cartel in quebec and ontario and and trump doesn't
00:10:44.820like that and by the way i i think that if we stop protecting the dairy cartel our own dairy farmers
00:10:51.060would still do fine because as long as you produce like there's a there's a demand people want good
00:10:56.400milk good cheese good yogurt and things like that and our you know our government our our farmers
00:11:02.320always are proud of the fact that we have i don't know less antibiotics in it and less growth
00:11:07.680hormones and it's whatever it's a more organic milk if that's the case and that's what people
00:11:12.620want then you should be able to compete on an open market so and the dairy cartel keeps coming up all
00:11:17.740the time all the time all the time so we've had this back and forth and and originally when carney
00:11:24.220was running to get elected this served him well right he had an instant boogeyman south of him
00:11:30.700he's got donald trump who's attacking canada it's a wake-up call fall folks he wasn't attacking
00:11:38.140canada but the liberals played it that way that trump was attacking us and carney was the man
00:11:44.780that could stand up to trump and carney played that card at the beginning and it got him it was
00:11:51.180popular and it got him votes and and it helped them win an election but he's been playing that
00:11:56.220card over and over and over and over and now it's become this stubborn battle and it's a stubborn
00:12:02.140battle that we're going to lose because the u.s economy is 13 times 14 times bigger than us and
00:12:09.020it's so don't call it giving in to the americans we're not giving in to the americans we have to
00:12:14.320be realistic they are our number one trader geographically they're right next door and
00:12:19.880if their demands we kind of have to meet their demands which some people call it bullying but
00:12:25.780it it's it's just that they're in a better bargaining position and they're taking advantage
00:12:30.720are the better bargaining position so we're not capitulating to the americans when we if we had
00:12:37.440just simply accepted the tariff and became more competitive not initially and that's the way most
00:12:44.000countries approached it but canada went with strict tariffs and so did china and this battle
00:12:49.200is ongoing so this battle is ongoing and so this week we just had another week where where trump
00:12:54.800announced more tariffs and and so the original um now remember we have a trade deal between
00:13:01.760canada the us and mexico the can the the kumsa or the usmca whichever country you're from
00:13:08.320whatever acronym you want and so trump wants to impose tariffs luckily that trade deal is in place
00:13:15.520and it limits the goods and services that he can tariff but despite that this week he announced
00:13:22.240another round of really big tariffs on another on a on a whole bunch of products from canada
00:13:28.640he did this to canada now he didn't do this to mexico he didn't do this to another any other
00:13:32.720countries he singled out canada okay that should tell you a lot he singled us out and these tariffs
00:13:40.240go into place on august 19th and about three weeks from now and look at what our country is doing
00:13:46.480again right we are doubling down on the rhetoric rather than addressing trump's initial concerns
00:13:55.200his initial concerns are simple right we should just get rid of the the dairy cartel by the way
00:14:01.280we can't even do that now one of the first things that carney did when he got elected is they passed
00:14:05.920bill i believe it's c2 or maybe c3 one of the very very very uh initial bills passed by our government
00:14:13.680explicitly states in the bill that in any ongoing trade negotiations the dairy cartel is off the
00:14:21.960table that's how entrenched that dairy cartel is in in uh in canadian um politics like it's
00:14:30.720untouchable and and it's yeah okay enough on the dairy cartels but so we're not addressing the
00:14:36.640original uh complaints another original complaint that trump had was that we weren't spending enough
00:14:43.460on defense that he was picking up the cost for most of nato and he wanted countries like ours
00:14:50.100to increase our spending as a percentage of gdp from two to five percent a pretty reasonable
00:14:56.140request certainly in canada in light of the fact that our military has pretty much been decimated
00:15:00.900for the last couple of decades right so and how could we have addressed that initial complaint by
00:15:07.340trump well look we're miss we don't have navy our boat our fleet of boats is is in disrepair we don't
00:15:14.860have any vehicles anymore because we lost them all in afghanistan we don't have any tanks our
00:15:19.180snowbirds can't even fly okay so we need military spending and what do we do normally in canada
00:15:26.380we study problems to death and we make ridiculous requirements and we engage in competitive bidding
00:15:32.860and then we we end up buying stuff from other nations that's not off the shelf that's customized
00:15:38.620that's overpriced that's complicated that's expensive that often doesn't work and what we
00:15:44.620could have done quickly when trump brought up these issues is we could have just gone to the u.s
00:15:49.740and said you're right donald we're not spending enough money on defense um how about we buy i
00:15:55.420don't know 30 f-16s from you or f-18s and how about we buy two uh harleyberg class battleship
00:16:03.820or not battleships destroyers and maybe one submarine and a whole bunch of whatever armored
00:16:09.900personnel carriers we could have done a quick deal like that but what are we doing even there even
00:16:15.020even in the process of of of ramping up we just announced that we're buying submarines from from
00:16:21.820germany which to me is a lose lose lose right we're pissed we continue to antagonize trump
00:16:27.420we're not helping any if if we wanted at least we could have at least uh if we're going to
00:16:33.420antagonize trump we might as well help our own local industry and buy locally we didn't even
00:16:37.740buy locally we didn't buy the cheapest of the best subs which would have been to buy from the koreans
00:16:42.700but instead we go to europe and we buy german subs you know what i mean so it's lose lose lose
00:16:47.340lose and and trump's watching this and he's he's picking up on this so he imposes these tariffs this
00:16:52.060week and and then how does canada respond you have doug ford standing on stage yesterday and the day
00:16:59.820before almost daily now doug ford is on stage um being critical of of trump still and then and then
00:17:08.940this week in particular we had a a first minister's meeting in uh pei so all the
00:17:16.140premiers of the of the country got together in pei and you'd think that our that our premiers
00:17:21.500would be preoccupied with this and that this is what they would be focused on but what did they
00:17:26.780discuss while they were there well i mean they still talked about health care and transfer
00:17:33.020payments and the threat of alberta independence and a few other things like that they never they
00:17:37.900never really addressed the plan to to deal with trump and to respond to his initial concerns
00:17:45.900and then what do we get out of pi this week we get another mou we get an mou now that the
00:17:51.580provinces are going to work together to further eliminate inter-provincial trade barriers
00:17:56.460specifically those around booze like like alcohol so the the whole country is in trouble with the
00:18:05.100americans and we're and our premiers are talking about alcohol like it's dominating the news this
00:18:10.220week dominating the news is is david eby in british columbia saying there will be no american booze
00:18:17.340on british columbian shelves and on and and doug ford in ontario saying almost the same thing by
00:18:22.940the way just just just for that after this show on my way home tonight i'm gonna go stop and i'm
00:18:28.300luckily we live in alberta where we still have uh private liquor stores i'm gonna go film in
00:18:34.940one of those private liquor stores what the american section looks like i'm pretty sure
00:18:38.540it's well stocked and i'm going to go find myself a nice american bourbon and that's not because
00:18:43.020i'm anti-canadian i'm i'm yeah i'm i'm canadian i'm definitely pro-albertan i drink my fair share
00:18:50.220of alberta whiskeys but in this instance just to spite doug ford and david eby i'm going to go buy
00:18:56.220myself a nice american bourbon for tonight um and and and i mean and it doesn't even stop there like
00:19:03.420today this morning there was somebody there was an interview and there was a wine a winery owner
00:19:10.940in british columbia who was on being interviewed by the cbc and he let out a big secret out of the
00:19:17.740he let the cat out of the bag i don't know where that expression came from but he literally said
00:19:22.460that despite he's from bc and he said despite tariffs from the u.s it's still cheaper for him
00:19:31.340as a canadian winemaker to do business with the u.s than it is for him to do business with the
00:19:37.100rest of canada like let that sink in right so okay folks i've talked like my opening monologue was a
00:19:44.300little bit longer than i wanted to i'm sure like what what are your guys's thoughts on on on pei
00:19:51.740on trump on uh doug ford david eby maybe this mou right i mean the mou like the mou i'm beginning
00:20:00.460to hate the word mou memorandum of understanding like it's getting uh to me now the mou at this
00:20:06.780point is basically when um when nothing concrete can be accomplished let's let's sign an mou right
00:20:13.580so mou now between uh danielle smith and and mark carney now there's going to be mous between all
00:20:20.540the premiers and and don't get me started on the fact that we we shouldn't even need an mou right
00:20:27.340that's the whole that's fundamentally shows the flaw of of a country you know of confederation
00:20:34.220when provinces have to negotiate so hard just to uh just to advance projects uh who said that so i
00:20:43.100got a sign on the or a chat on the screen he said memorandum of uselessness great interview who said
00:20:49.820that was that the was that the uh wine person talking this morning look at all the acronyms
00:20:55.820for mou i got mostly optics useless um mou equals kick the can down the road yeah okay cool um
00:21:08.220jesse and gp says someone better call or you'll have to hear my diatribes again no one wants that
00:21:14.620hey no no i mean it's okay to have regulars i appreciate having regulars who call uh or comment
00:21:22.220all the time uh jess if you want to call give give me a buzz but yeah you know um
00:21:30.380yeah doug ford what do i say okay well so let me continue on that topic right
00:21:35.660so here's the uh so i wish i wish we could play clips oh just lost the screen there john what
00:21:42.620happened okay that's the big screen's gone the little screen's still here um uh there was a clip
00:21:48.540uh there was a clip of doug ford basically making these veil threats right so doug ford had a clip
00:21:56.340where he said we have to i can't remember his exact words um we have to not retaliate but
00:22:02.540almost like we have to annihilate the americans john did i lose the caller or call on the line
00:22:08.400all right go ahead caller marty yes hello marty yes marty hey how are you doing good good0.80
00:22:18.480it's diane from devon hi diane another regular yeah um so i mean you just went through the whole
00:22:30.400list of everything and you made my blood pressure go up again i was having a nice relaxing afternoon
00:22:37.860sorry about that it's it's okay it's okay it's it's it's our lives um so it's it's being
00:22:47.300that's managed to a degree that like we've never seen before what is the end game because the
00:22:56.460train's going down the track and it's going to derail at some point so what is what is the end
00:23:06.420game um for i mean the independence um that we support aside what is the end game with carney
00:23:18.920and all these people so what what what is it let me clarify so you're asking me what my end game is
00:23:25.340or what do i think carney's end game is the end game for canada the the people who are mismanaging
00:23:32.780it and and really we we can't do anything about it we're just getting dragged along while this
00:23:40.180game is being played whatever game it is yeah what is their end game yeah i think that i think
00:23:46.580they've told us what their end game is right their end game is is things like the un agenda 2030
00:23:52.380um and and agendas and the agenda of the klaus schwabs of the world and the world economic forum
00:24:00.000Right. Their end game is that there's these weird, evil people that envision a different world where they're in power and we're all subservient.
00:24:10.780And and there's countries like Canada that are the testing grounds for this.
00:24:15.780Right. If we're an easy country to capture, we're letting ourselves be captured.
00:24:19.640We're letting ourselves be led down this evil path. And I think that's the end game.
00:24:24.200there's there's look at the un agenda 20 it's at 2030 it's a it's a redistribution of wealth
00:24:30.040it's a world without borders it's um it's it's it's it's a form of socialism on steroid where
00:24:40.440the average person will own nothing and be happy all those sentences that we used to think was just
00:24:46.440um people with bad intentions they're coming true and we're realizing that they're more powerful
00:24:52.940than we thought like it it's it's playing out i think do you agree or do you see it differently
00:24:59.820absolutely absolutely i'm and and donald trump is the stumbling block yes because donald trump
00:25:09.100is for his country you might hate him you might hate his rhetoric blah blah blah you might hate
00:25:15.020a lot of things about him but he is he's the only one standing up because britain and the eu
00:25:23.900and canada you're absolutely right we have like everybody in the cabinet is a young global leader
00:25:31.420anybody knows what that is yeah yeah that's in the cabinet you brought up a point that i didn't
00:25:38.460sorry diane you brought up a point that i didn't even have on my list for today which is uh um
00:25:43.740um uh care starmer from uh from england stepped down and then they replaced him with a guy who
00:25:50.320makes the carney look almost like uh tame so a lot every country's going down this path and
00:25:57.240and anytime there's resistance yes and they're friends carney and burnham are a burn bomb or
00:26:04.900burnham they're they know each other they've been previous associates in in business 100% yeah and
00:26:12.040and and then carney like don't be surprised if carney like carney to me looks like he's kind
00:26:16.920of failing down this path and i wouldn't be surprised if carney doesn't last a full four
00:26:20.920years and um and then and then they'll just put somebody else in place to try and finish the job
00:26:26.760but they don't have anybody right now right there's nobody but yeah no we're on the same page
00:26:31.480now just to finish on your question just to finish on your question i think you and i and a bunch of
00:26:37.240us in alberta have identified what's going on right and that's one of the things we've always
00:26:41.000said like when as an albertan why am i for independence because we're seeing this this
00:26:47.400madness in the rest of the country and we're like we got to protect ourselves from this madness and
00:26:51.640one of the only ways we can do it is by separating and and and forming your own country to try and
00:26:57.720resist it i i mean i hope i hope we can resist and i hope it's not futile but but that's why
00:27:03.080i'm a separatist i i see what's happening in the rest of canada and there's nothing changing them
00:27:07.320like they they know yeah I think honestly Marty there's a lot of people in Alberta who are going
00:27:19.300to vote yes I think there's a lot of people that when you were doing your your campaign a lot of
00:27:28.680people didn't want to show up because people were afraid but every day things get worse and worse
00:27:35.700works with all the censorship and and and so on so on like everything and i think there's a lot
00:27:41.860of people who are gonna stand up and vote yes there's a still a group of people though that
00:27:49.940they don't even all these issues that you've just talked about and i have just addressed
00:27:54.820there's a lot of people who say because i start the conversation and just the most minor thing
00:28:04.260they either don't know or they do not want to know they are willing to let that train hit that cement
00:28:12.100wall and then they're going to say what happened but they don't want to know what it all this is
00:28:18.820that's going on it stresses them out or it upsets them or it's not the canada that they love and
00:28:24.340so on so forth awesome uh well i appreciate thanks for calling in hopefully you broke the
00:28:28.820ice for the rest of the gang and other people will call in today have a great day diane
00:28:32.420yeah you as well take care of yourself cheers um yeah she brings up a bunch of good points but i
00:28:40.920just want to go back to um i i want to go back to that the alberta independence was on the topic
00:28:48.320this week uh in pi but i i want to talk about how um how suddenly everybody wants alberta on
00:28:57.680team canada and i keep saying this like they want us on team canada when it's convenient
00:29:02.000and then as soon as it's inconvenient they'll kick us off the team right like they that that's
00:29:07.320that's my opinion and this week was another example of that Doug Ford Doug Ford's been in
00:29:12.920front of the mic all week long and keep keep putting the mic on him folks because every time
00:29:17.080he talks like it's comedy and so he he had the mic on him today and he was or yesterday and like
00:29:23.600I said I can't find the exact words but he was saying something like along the lines of we can't
00:29:28.180take it sitting down from trump we need to like retaliate and annihilate like he was using that
00:29:34.500kind of language right and and and then and then he went from there and talking about we
00:29:41.180how he was going to do that and will annihilate them by denying them you know energy and power
00:29:47.480and stuff like that and right away everybody who was listening to him especially from alberta were0.70
00:29:52.280like doug those are things you don't even have right and and so doug ford that doug doug i'm
00:30:00.540talking to you man you have no oasis up your sleeve in terms of how you're going to deal with0.63
00:30:05.700donald trump you have nothing that donald trump needs nothing maybe you got a little bit of you
00:30:13.480got a bit of critical minerals you got some copper maybe up in northern ontario and you got a few
00:30:19.080things but fundamentally what does donald trump need that he can't supply himself and then he can't
00:30:26.560get quickly from other places you're on to something doug donald trump needs oil the u.s is
00:30:32.140a net importer of oil so they need like 12 million barrels of oil per day that they consume and they
00:30:38.100produce about 10 so they need two from somewhere else so they get it from us they actually get more
00:30:42.700from us than the two they buy four and then they resell a couple so they're a net importer of oil
00:30:48.340so they need our oil and they can't replace that quickly with anywhere anybody else's oil not
00:30:52.700venezuela's not nobody else's that just takes time they need natural gas from us they produce a lot
00:30:58.560of natural gas and they export natural gas but they're doing the same thing the americans are
00:31:02.320doing the same thing we are they're going down this ai path and they need to burn a lot of natural gas
00:31:06.940to make electricity to power their ai facilities and uh and they're great at exporting but the
00:31:13.380gulf of mexico is exporting like millions of metric tons of lng per year to uh europe so they'll
00:31:19.760buy all the natural gas from us for cheap and resell it so they need that they need nuclear
00:31:24.460okay they need uranium the americans don't produce uranium they really don't and they have this huge
00:31:31.860fleet of they project their power around the world right they are aircraft carriers and they're
00:31:36.960submarines and they project their power and their power is powered by nuclear energy so they need
00:31:44.080uranium from us and they can't get that from anywhere else i mean they could get it from
00:31:47.640russia doubt that's going to happen and then they can get it from other countries but it needs to
00:31:52.160be enriched a lot more and it's different so we get the best uranium for them so so far i've said
00:31:58.340oil natural gas that comes from alberta a little bit from bc uranium that comes from saskatchewan
00:32:04.280the americans need potash okay potash is critical for growing stuff for growing carrots potatoes
00:32:12.520corn whatever so they need potash and we're like the number one two or three producer of potash
00:32:18.840on the planet the other ones is australia and places like kazakhstan or whatever so the americans
00:32:24.400can't uh produce enough potash for themselves so they need to import it and they get it from us
00:32:30.540and it's super critical it might as well be a critical mineral for them so they need potash and
00:32:35.980then um what else do they need um that's about it they need a couple of other things but that
00:32:42.940but almost everything else they can produce in sort of suitable quantities for themselves
00:32:47.180so i mentioned four things well so and those four things i mentioned come from saskatchewan alberta
00:32:54.380and a bit from british columbia quebec oh minerals yes let's go i mean we don't produce a lot of
00:33:01.020rare earth minerals but we do produce quite a few important critical minerals that the americans need
00:33:06.560um you know like the the tungsten and nickel and magnesium and lithium and some of those things
00:33:14.320and um that they have the ability to source of from a few more places around the world but
00:33:21.440they'd rather source it from us and again the minerals come from yeah northern quebec northern
00:33:26.920ontario a little bit of places like that but i basically ranked them in order and so the americans
00:33:31.700need that stuff from us and when doug ford was threatening the americans i'm sure trump was
00:33:37.180laughing because trump knows that hey you personally dougie you don't have anything that i
00:33:42.720need yeah dougie needs to sit down somebody that's exactly right and doug in his exact sentence
00:33:48.700started mentioning the things i mentioned which is and then he appealed i knew i said yesterday i
00:33:54.680said how long before doug ford appeals to alberta to jump on team canada and help out and what does
00:34:02.140doug ford want us to do on team canada he wants us to take one he wants us to shoot ourselves in
00:34:09.040the foot and he wants us to cut off the oil and the natural gas to the u.s he wants one he wants
00:34:14.380us to take one for team canada hurt our own economy and take one for team canada so the
00:34:19.340dougie can you know stick it to the americans luckily uh danielle smith today being interviewed
00:34:26.060said you know she wants no part of that and i don't blame her and by the way that would actually
00:34:30.420be uh an act of war like shutting off another nation's supply of energy even though it's done
00:34:37.260as part of trade i mean that's how uh the americans and the japanese uh got into a conflict
00:34:42.760that the uh you know in world war ii the americans cut off japan's oil supply so i'm not i i don't
00:34:48.760think we should be cutting off america's oil or gas supply and uh it's potentially an act of war
00:34:55.880and it would only hurt us and that and elevate things so all that to say that i don't like the
00:35:01.240path that this is going down i think the solution is obvious which is you know uh lift the dairy
00:35:06.600cartel which and i think the dairy cartels could take care of themselves buy some stuff from the
00:35:11.640americans work on the imbalance lift the uh lift the um our tariffs and uh focus on becoming more
00:35:19.800efficient but you know carney's refusing to do that and he's gonna keep being stubborn and and
00:35:25.960go down this path for uh for as long as possible and i don't think it's going to end up well for us
00:35:32.440uh where to go next um i got so many places i can go um let's actually let's let's just i'll
00:35:43.060finish picking on carney i'll finish picking on carney and then i'll move on uh this week we're
00:35:48.160getting so you guys know the story of the gordie howe bridge um back in about 2008 under the harper
00:35:56.820government so this started under the harper government we decided that we needed to somebody
00:36:02.500was thinking into the future okay this is good this is forward looking somebody saw that there's
00:36:06.740a problem there's a bottleneck at the border the uh peace bridge is not or the peace bridge or the
00:36:12.660whatever bridge is down in that windsor uh detroit corridor was insufficient somebody mentioned on
00:36:18.740somebody tell me what the name of that bridge was in the chat there please so we we had a vision and
00:36:23.700we decided we're going to build a bridge across and uh d bottleneck the traffic which would help
00:36:31.380for the import exports of auto parts and things like that good good good right infrastructure
00:36:36.100and then we didn't quite negotiate a really good deal with the americans and we basically
00:36:41.700unilaterally built this bridge so canada builds the bridge and then canada sets up the toll and
00:36:48.660canada is going to collect the tolls but then donald trump gets elected donald trump's a wild
00:36:53.620man and he says no we're not opening this bridge on our side so we pay billions of dollars build
00:36:59.220the bridge we expect to have it open and we're going to collect tolls and trump says nope you
00:37:04.340should have signed a better deal and uh i'm not opening this bridge until so he's using it as a
00:37:09.540bargaining chip right and this and then carney tells us that oh i i i went and met with trump
00:37:17.300we negotiated and the bridge will open and it's all good so then people start digging and went
00:37:22.580oh wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute and so uh carney got challenged on this
00:37:28.980and carney almost refused to talk about it turned away from the mics wouldn't talk about it and now
00:37:34.020we're getting the whole story the bridge is going to open and uh we will recover the cost of the
00:37:41.380the bridge through tolls but in the meantime regardless half the tolls we collect on this
00:37:47.800bridge are just going to go to the U.S. so the U.S. who put no money into building this bridge
00:37:52.160is going to is going to get money revenue from the bridge and now it's going to take us twice
00:37:58.700as long to pay off this bridge because half the money we're getting every year is instead of going
00:38:04.440to pay off the bridge is just going to go to the U.S. so another example of an absolute monumental
00:38:09.500failure on the part of carny and um and and and this is you know was it a bad deal to start with
00:38:16.920sure but remember he was touted as carny the magnificent the guy who could negotiate anything
00:38:22.760and so far he just hasn't negotiated anything whatsoever for us i'm scrolling through the
00:38:29.280comments folks there is a lot of comments there um all right well i'll keep pei is a place that
00:38:38.260is all no okay cool folks uh numbers on the screen there i i know it's uh just after lunchtime maybe
00:38:43.620you're digesting maybe you're at work and you're uh you don't want to be uh uh you got rules you
00:38:49.460can't uh make phone calls on i don't know what the deal is but come on folks uh there's the number
00:38:55.860on the on the screen there and give me a give me a call um all right where do i go from here
00:39:03.220uh i want to talk about this one i don't know how long i'll be able to talk about this one but this
00:39:07.940was another one of those weird stories this week um how many did you guys all see that um gentlemen
00:39:16.580the the the young man of uh the seek persuasion who went to the good will or good life gym uh
00:39:26.660in somewhere in ontario and made a big deal so this guy's an influencer and he's obviously likes
00:39:33.460to film himself doing things and so he goes to the gym he's not wearing a shirt and he's
00:39:38.820got his kerpan right that little curved um ceremonial knife and and the gym a lady who
00:39:47.460works at the gym walked up to him and said i'm getting complaints and people uh would like you
00:39:55.460to you know cover up and hide that kerpan or keep it in your in your locker and i mean this thing
00:40:02.180that like he was openly wearing it and this thing was long right like not not just a little
00:40:06.980ceremonial thing this thing looked like a hunting knife kind of thing and she and and then he got
00:40:12.740into this back and forth with her and he posted it on the internet and then he posted all these
00:40:17.380all these other videos came out about it and there was at first there was a rumor so
00:40:23.460i'm i'm gonna try and keep this concrete but at first there was a rumor that good life had fired
00:40:30.740the uh lady in this in the in the business the the gym attendant that turns out that no that wasn't
00:40:36.420the case i wouldn't be surprised if there's a lawsuit against good life that comes out of this
00:40:43.060but he's an influencer i get it but then other people piled on right and so then jagmeet singh
00:40:50.020former leader of the ndp his brother comes on and now everybody's making a big deal about how
00:40:55.300this is a human right folks i looked into it and uh the i mean this is an this is an awesome debate
00:41:04.100right now and i and i like it i i think it's going to backfire on that guy yes the courts have ruled
00:41:11.380that um the gyms have to accommodate that they're allowed to bring a kerpan but the the court said
00:41:18.980a small one like a four a four to six centimeter one and that it has to be sort of not visible
00:41:26.420under the shirt kind of thing etc etc and so there there's attempts to accommodate and the gym
00:41:35.220i think has accommodated and is accommodating but this is a example i this is where i i get upset
00:41:42.420we live in a country where we are extremely accommodating to all sorts of people for all
00:41:48.100sorts of reasons even when it's not required by law okay we're just a nice nation of accommodating
00:41:54.740people if somebody comes to me and says you know i need uh i i can't work on saturdays or i can't
00:42:01.620work on fridays because because because i'll accommodate if somebody came to me in in the
00:42:07.140camp that i managed and said i need a quiet place to go pray i'll accommodate we'll find you a quiet
00:42:13.540place but if you come to me and say i need you to build me a temple at the work site so i can go
00:42:18.660pray i'm not going to build you a temple at the work site right that's the concept of accommodating
00:42:22.660is means that you do something that's not too unaccommodating for me not too intrusive not too
00:42:29.140complicated it's not just religious it's uh it's it's it's in other instances right you come to me
00:42:35.780and you have a wheelchair but you're perfectly capable of doing a job but you just need you know
00:42:41.300i need to provide you an office with wider doors and do something like that we will accommodate
00:42:45.780that's not going i don't it's not crazy accommodation doesn't mean i have to you know
00:42:52.020widen every single door in the office and and pave every sidewalk that's the you know what i mean so
00:42:58.820that's that's what accommodating and we live we're living in a world now where um we accommodate we
00:43:04.580give an inch and they'll want a mile and it's starting to backfire so i i didn't like that
00:43:09.780story and i i think we're in i think we're seeing a tipping point because online i didn't see too
00:43:15.940many people that were on side with this gentleman now i want to just add one other thing that was
00:43:21.700interesting despite accommodating this debate brought up other uh other groups that want to be
00:43:31.460accommodated which is interesting because so i went and looked at the supreme court ruling on
00:43:38.340this one that said a business had to accommodate one of the things that said in there is that
00:43:44.100simply having a kerpan or something like that looks like a weapon does not prove intent to
00:43:51.060use as a weapon and i looked at that and go oh that's interesting so just because you have a
00:43:56.420knife doesn't mean that the knife is a weapon and the supreme court went on to say other things like
00:44:02.820in a gym the dumbbells could be used as a weapon so it said a weapon cannot be defined by just
00:44:10.980the purpose of the object almost anything can be a weapon and almost anything that's
00:44:15.060a weapon could be used as a non-weapon you know where i'm going with this so if you have
00:44:20.740so in one instance the the the courts rule that just having a knife doesn't
00:44:25.620prove any intent well then what about somebody who's walking around with a firearm
00:44:29.460i guess just owning a firearm is not intent on using the firearm you see where i'm going with
00:44:36.360this i got a caller i want to definitely prioritize callers go ahead where are you calling from what's
00:44:40.340your name please hey marty it's jess and gp thanks for calling jess our thanks good how are you dude
00:44:49.480good good um accommodate is that another you know there could be another term for accommodate and i
00:44:56.180I would liken it to consults, just like consultation.
00:45:00.260Oh, I was going to go there. You beat me to it.
00:45:04.400Right? It's a perfect segue to what we're encountering with the two-tier justice that we see evident.
00:45:14.120And let's even correlate that with what we see with the Forever Canadian, what's happening here.
00:45:21.980It all works together, it seems, right?
00:45:25.500yeah and and accommodate and consult have similar words and then consult definitely doesn't
00:45:30.900necessarily mean uh agree right or um um or what's the other terms i'm thinking of uh i i see where
00:45:41.080you're going with this i was going to go with this perhaps in the context of uh of major projects
00:45:46.020right now and consulting and accommodating first nations and things like that um but you yeah i
00:45:53.420i like where you took it yeah because condone i think would be a word that you're looking for as
00:45:59.980well we you know or um we're consulting doesn't mean we uh doesn't mean we take oh yeah the word
00:46:07.580that wab canoe used trying to think of that well i think he used did he use consent or consensus
00:46:13.420there's there's there's those terms get mixed up too right so yeah consent yeah accommodating uh
00:46:20.780consulting is a tough one right i i've dealt with that right consulting i mean uh some people could
00:46:26.020interpret consulting as me simply telling you what i'm going to do right i'm going to build uh
00:46:30.720i'm going to build a road in your neighborhood next year and i'm giving you time to know that
00:46:35.860it's going to happen so you can adjust i'm not necessarily seeking your permission to do it but
00:46:40.400these days consulting has become um uh equivalent to a veto and everybody is uh you know is assuming
00:46:49.440that they they have to get absolutely everything that they want and and that's not what consulting
00:46:54.240means exactly yeah and i agree 100 percent um and this you know this just goes to show for many
00:47:02.560reasons um you know including the the uh uh the uh poking the bear of donald trump right
00:47:11.840and we didn't vote for any of this no no absolutely not and i and i like what diane
00:47:17.280said earlier right and that that that donald trump is doing what's good for the americans
00:47:22.320and that's yeah i mean like him or not that's one thing i fundamentally like about him yeah i don't
00:47:27.120like all his rhetoric and sometimes i wish he'd just get off x and stop trolling us but at the
00:47:32.800end of the day he's doing what's best for his people like he's that's what he got elected to do
00:47:38.400and if only we had somebody that did that here can you imagine
00:47:41.520all right well thanks have a good day yeah thanks for calling awesome um boy this again another hour
00:47:50.940that's just going to fly by and i'm going through my list of things and and uh i'm not even going
00:47:55.740to have time to cover all of the topics that i wanted to talk about um so anyways uh where do
00:48:02.920i end off on uh on the good life um it's well to see i i guess we're going to see what happens
00:48:10.940um i i feel bad for them already they're they're already the subject of memes they're already the
00:48:17.500subject of boycotts and things like that and uh and and that's too bad like it's i i guess i'm
00:48:24.200going back to accommodating and i think we are next actually this is one thing i wanted to say
00:48:28.460i'm going to tie this in accommodating and and other things it's it what's really interesting
00:48:34.020is when accommodation starts to uh accommodating one person impacts another and even when you have
00:48:42.320well intentions right good intentions so I'll give you an example right I talked about wheelchair
00:48:47.080access and so in order to make a property wheelchair accessible you might have a property
00:48:52.900like a you know I might have sidewalks with a curb and so somebody can't go up and down the sidewalk
00:48:58.920when they're in a wheelchair so to accommodate somebody with a wheelchair i might put a little
00:49:04.320area at the end of you see it in city streets right the sidewalk suddenly smooths down and
00:49:09.040that's to accommodate a wheelchair but when you accommodate a wheelchair by removing that curb
00:49:15.100you are inconveniencing a blind person who is walking along with the cane and who's relying0.56
00:49:21.140on that curb to know where something is you know you see what i'm saying so this whole concept of0.99
00:49:26.600of completely accommodating everybody on everything all the time is impossible right you can't please
00:49:34.100all the people all the time so it's the same thing with accommodating it you you end up with a you end
00:49:39.860up with an overlap in a conflict and an example of the conflict that showed up this week with this
00:49:44.940gentleman you know I gave the example of the guns which is perhaps a stretch because um you know
00:49:51.040i'll leave it at that but somebody else brought up a very real case like if a young lady has a
00:49:57.940bear spray and brings a bear spray to the gym because she's nervous and she's worried um how
00:50:05.440come she's not accommodated or or should women expect to be accommodated by having a separate1.00
00:50:11.820hours at the gym or a separate area of the gym and stuff like that right so that that's where1.00
00:50:16.460whole accommodation thing keeps on uh on on on going and uh and i'll leave it at that um okay
00:50:23.820i wanted a couple of things i wanted to talk about uh maybe i should have brought these up earlier
00:50:29.420might have resonated more with people locally elections alberta this week elections alberta has
00:50:34.460been in the news a lot this week they're uh they're actually almost asking that uh influencers
00:50:39.660like myself stop talking about them okay that's an interesting one right so when the government
00:50:45.820or an institution doesn't want us to talk about them uh why and so i find that elections alberta
00:50:52.060lately is going out of its way to defend itself they're running a big ad campaign you know
00:50:57.660promoting themselves as impartial this blah blah blah this week uh for them the they're they're um
00:51:06.060they continue to be under call under criticism by a lot of valid uh by a lot of separatists who
00:51:14.540who are bringing up points of why actually let me let me bring this back we had a very successful
00:51:20.700uh telethon last uh saturday uh five days ago where we promoted all the third party advertisers
00:51:27.180we did a 12-hour telethon and during the telethon i got to interview one of the third party
00:51:32.460advertisers and talk in depth about you know what they have to do to comply with the elections
00:51:39.880Alberta rules regarding raising money campaigning and stuff like that that the advertiser I got to
00:51:45.280interview was Jason Levine of the Levine show but you know right here Corey Morgan is a third
00:51:53.200party advertiser and others and so we are held they are held to a very high standard of transparency
00:52:02.480by Elections Alberta when it comes to all these things and there's been a lot of criticism this
00:52:08.220week that thomas lukasik's group the forever canada group is not being held to the same level
00:52:13.260of compliance and elections alberta's excuse is that they're not campaigning they're just
00:52:19.900promoting something and you know and elections alberta went as far as issuing a bulletin
00:52:25.700trying to clarify the situation and when you read the bulletin it just looks like they're
00:52:29.480making excuses for thomas's group uh go ahead caller where are you calling from what's on your
00:52:34.160mind. Oh, Marty here from Abbotsford, British Columbia. I'm glad there's a referendum. Yeah,
00:52:43.120it's Donald. You know who I am. So we're having problems here with fires right now here in the
00:52:49.080Boston Bar. We have a lot of talking about this regime and NBP. I want to talk about Michaela
00:52:56.280the Resistance, the so-called left-wing Antifa girl who literally went up to Daniel Smith and
00:53:02.440I called her an F of fascist parenthood.0.98
00:53:06.120Like, is this woman mentally ill or is she – how do I feel it?1.00
