Transcript

[A]

Foreign. Hey. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Rebel Roundup. I'm your host, Sheila Gun Reed. We are late today and I was the problem, so I'm sorry about that. This is our daily news and opinion show. And as always on Tuesdays, it is such a delight to be joined by my very best friend in the entire world, Lise Merle from Regina, Saskatchewan. Lise, how's it going?

[B]

Well, yeah, I mean, Sheila Gun read what a scream. In 48 hours, we are coming off of. My goodness. We've had an exciting time.

[A]

Yeah. We were in North Battleford for a Saskatchewan Prosperity Project event. I think the room only technically held 105 or 107 people, but they had 137 people there. And it was in the best place place ever. The Battlefords Wildlife Federation building. So much taxidermy. At points, I felt like I could feel the vibes of the animal. I felt like I was the animal sometimes. I have many selfies with the animals and some videos, too.

[B]

Yeah. I found myself a spirit animal at the. At the Wildlife Federation there in North Battleford. And it's a hissing wombat.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It's a hissing wombat with visible scars. And I thought, oh, that's what my enemies see when I step into their safe space.

[A]

I was a taxidermied. I think it was a badger.

[B]

No, you have porcupine. Sheila.

[A]

It was the hair. It was the hair. Anyways, prickly.

[B]

The prickly bits is what you identify. Yes.

[A]

My startled look. Anyways, I should tell everybody what we're doing. I'm sorry. My hair is crunchy again. I'm the reason I was late today. You are watching us on Rumble. That's a great free speech platform. You'll get Rebel News completely uncensored over there. If you are willing and able to support the show, you can leave a paid chat over there. It's called a Rumble rant. We ask you for that because we'll never take a penny from the government to do the work that we do around here. Because why we would be politically contaminated. You would question our independence. Right. So we rely on you. But the good thing is we let you have your say. So. So we ask for something. We give you something. So if your chat is over the $5 US cutoff, it's obligatory for us to read it on air if it's under that, time permitting. I do have a hard out at just gently after the top of the hour. So we'll do our best to get to your chats. And if you are watching us on YouTube, which remains a censorship platform, but somehow we remain monetized over there. And I realize that 2 million of you nearly prefer to watch us over there. You can leave a paid chat that's called a super chat over there. And if you missed the live version of the show and you want to support our work, you can leave a paid comment called a super. Thanks. So those are the rules. Let's get into the show. I think I wrote this up last week, but that's okay. Juno got around to it. This was, I believe it was an order. Paper, question mark. Carney billed taxpayers $94,000 for in light influence flight catering in one single trip.

[B]

Oh my God. Yeah, you could buy a. You could buy a house for that in Saskatchewan. An entire whole house for an entire whole family is what this guy spent on food on one of his international excursions. This is outrageous. With, with people at food banks. This makes me incensed.

[A]

This is just. Same old Carney, though. He's. When he was at the bank of England, he came under fire for expense abuse for he and Diana Fox Carney, his wife. And they were just racking up the expenses and billing them to the taxpayers. So it's meet the old boss same as the. Or meet the new boss same as the old boss. Justin Trudeau did this. I think it was nearly a quarter of a million dollars he spent on catering on one junket. That was an access to information filing by us here at Rebel News. Yeah, I did it.

[B]

You did it. You were like, wait a deck. How much did this cost us?

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

And then when you found out, it was so mind bendingly atrocious. I mean, and this is just the same same. This is just same same.

[A]

Like they were loading booze onto the plane at different stops because they were just drinking so much on that flight on. I think it was a, like that Pan Asian trip. Whatever Justin Trudeau was doing, I mean, they never actually do any work. And it was like a quarter of a million dollars Canadian. That's what their food costs were on their little junket. While. Yeah. Canadians are struggling under 6% food inflation. Sickening.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And nothing ever comes of it. Like they never apologize for it. They just as liberals are entitled to their entitlements. They don't even care about the perception of looking like elitist Laurentian ghouls.

[B]

No. And why would they? Why would they? Because they're not trying to impress the Canadian taxpayer. They're trying to impress their well heeled international friends.

[A]

Yeah. And they're making these junkets while not fixing the relationship with the United States or everything. Yeah, they're not fixing the things they broke. They're not even trying to fix. We've got this from CTV News, but Trump posted his thoughts to Truth Social on this the other day. Trump threatens to block the opening of the bridge between Windsor and Detroit. Not allow a new bridge between Windsor and Detroit to open unless the United States is fully compensated for everything it has given Canada. So Trump's Truth Social post reads, as everyone knows, the country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now things are turning around for the USA and fast. You know, I love how he writes. It's just like how he talks. But imagine Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada in the United States side. And of course, built with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the Buy American act and not use any American products, including our steel. Now, the Canadian government expects me as President of the United States to permit, to permit them to just take advantage of America. What does the United States of America get? Absolutely nothing. And here's where Doug Ford comes into the mix on Ontario won't even put US Spirits, beverages and other alcoholic products on their shelves. They are absolutely prohibited from doing so. And now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to make a deal with China, which will eat Canada alive. We'll just get the leftovers. I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate all ice hockey being played in Canada and permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup. Of course, he's got to put his little joke he's in there. The tariffs Canada charges us for our dairy products have for many years been unacceptable, putting our farmers at great financial risk, also attacking the poor in Canada. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them. And also importantly, Canada treats the United States with the fairness and respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations immediately. With all that we have given them, we should own perhaps at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the US Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. Good job, Doug Ford.

[B]

Here's. Well, here's. Here's the reckoning that we've been saying is going to be coming from the United States because of Doug Ford's actions. Here it is, Canada. Here it is. And I also think that this shows the weakness in Mark Carney's bargaining position because really, if Trump is saying, if Trump is saying trade reciprocity is really important to me. And you guys haven't been playing, you guys haven't been playing the game. I need you to play. Well, this is his option. And I do believe that we're in the fo stage about FA in Ontario. Yeah.

[A]

I mean, in Alberta we can get American liquor. But Doug Ford made it a big deal that they were not going to have American booze on the shelves. And he thought he was, you know, impressing the elbows out boomers who drink their white zinfandel instead of their Kentucky bourbon. And these are those chickens coming home to roost. He remember he poured out that bottle of Crown Royal made in Gimli, Manitoba to release.

[B]

Dribbling out, dribbling out, shake it out. Yeah.

[A]

Well, this is what his stunts get him. Like, there's no reason to be antagonistic with the world's largest economy. No reason for it.

[B]

And, and on a bridge that carries so, so many products, this is an absolute, an absolutely integral part of the infrastructure in trade between those two regions of the, of the United States and in Canada. So if this, I mean, if it's, if this gets locked up the way Trump is saying it's going to get locked up until things are addressed, well, I wouldn't want to be Doug Ford. It wouldn't be a good day to be Doug Ford.

[A]

Remember how they reacted with protesters dancing on the bridge, the other bridge in Windsor, you know, because that bridge was so busy, they actually had to build this one to deal with the trade between our two countries. They invoked the Emergencies act to deal with the protesters during COVID dancing on the bridge. And they said we had to do it.

[B]

Those people were labeled, you know, all of the, all of the same things as, as people are when they oppose the government, when they defy the government, they, you know, there was this air of unacceptability about what they were doing on their bridge. Again, repeat, they were dancing. They were dancing for freedom. Yep. And they got treated like common criminals by the government. And so, yeah, this is a real, this is a real interest of events, isn't it, Sheila Gun Reed. It's actually good. Like, I'm delighted to see Trump getting involved in this. It's perfect.

[A]

I think it's time to put supply management on the table.

[B]

Well, he's talking about dairy there. Canada. Canada suffers under an oppressive Ontario, Quebec dairy cartel where the rest of us pay way, way, way higher prices at the grocery store because of the control that they have over the food supply here in Canada. And Trump is, Trump is talking about that too.

[A]

And you know what, there are other countries that have undone their supply management. I think Australia, New Zealand, maybe they undid supply management. They did. I think it was a one time payout of the quotas and then that was it. Okay.

[B]

And then open up the free market. Yeah, that would be excellent considering what we're doing now is prohibitively expensive for people when they try and feed their families. Right.

[A]

And you know when they say, oh, the Americans put hormones in their milk and blah, blah, blah. So, so if it says, you know what, I don't care. But if it says product of America on it and you're one of those elbows up boomers and you see that on your cheese, then just buy the Canadian product. Why limit access to the market for these American boutique cheeses? We could actually have our own boutique cheeses. But people can't get into the market as small farmers because the quotas are so expensive. And the quotas are, are the buy in.

[B]

The buy in is so, so great.

[A]

Like the reg.

[B]

The regulatory burden that to make a hurdle over to get into this business is, is. Well, it, it chases people away. I mean, who would want to get into this?

[A]

Well, let's not pretend like these quotas are owned by, you know, like small legacy farmers. They're not. A lot of them are owned by big investment firms.

[B]

Humongous investment firms. That's right.

[A]

So, yeah, I think put it on the table. Make sure to unravel the quota system and let's, let's quit fighting with our American friends and make milk and cheese cheaper for Canadians. You know, like a, a nutritional staple for poor people. They should be able to afford it. Instead. You know what they call the Canadians at the Costco in Bellingham, Washington? The Red Plague. Because we come down there, we buy up all the milk and the cheese because it's so much more affordable.

[B]

I know a guy that goes every 10 days for eggs. Eggs. People are making international trips for eggs.

[A]

That's because of our quota system. Mark Carney was asked about Trump's post, saying he's not going to let the New Windsor Detroit bridge open until the Americans are treated fairly. And Mark Carney said he had a call with Trump anyway on this, so we'll see.

[C]

The first thing to say is there's a big game today and the President and I discussed the Canada U.S. game and of course we're all behind our team. Secondly, we discussed a number of issues, international issues. Thirdly, we discussed the bridge. I explained that Canada, of course, paid for the construction of the bridge over $4 billion, that the ownership is shared between the state of Michigan and the government of Canada, and that in the construction of. Of the bridge, obviously there's Canadian steel, Canadian workers, but also U.S. steel, U.S. workers that are involved. This is a great example of cooperation between our countries. Look forward to it opening. And what is particularly important, of course, is the commerce and the tourism and the voyages of Canadians and Americans that will go across that bridge. So the conversation turned to a series of issues that we will raise and we're going to follow up on. I'm not going to go into detail on those issues. These would be specific issues in parallel to the Kuzma negotiations. Final point is the president asked, appropriately, that his ambassador, who's from Michigan, of course, play a role in smoothing the conversation in and around the bridge. So it was a positive conversation. A big game today, and we're going to win.

[A]

I'm not confident anything that the man said, I don't feel any better.

[B]

No rest.

[A]

He.

[B]

What he's what. What we should take away from this is, rest assured, Canada, the biggest doof in the room, has taken care of things, and there's nothing to see here. He's on. He's Johnny on the spot. Does that inspire confidence? Didn't inspire confidence in me.

[A]

I would love to hear the American readout of that call because we'll never get the Canadian readout. They'll just keep it. But I would love to hear the American readout of actually how that call went. I seriously doubt they talked hockey. And why does Carney always do this disarming, folksy thing where he's the hockey prime minister. Like, I don't care.

[B]

He and. And his hockey career was, you know, one game at Harvard or something like that. Like, he was, like, he was the goalie who was only put in the game when they were, you know, I, I forget what the. What the score of the game was. But in any case, he was only put in once.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

In an emergency. And he didn't. He didn't play too well. That's what Trump should know during those calls. But I could see him coming off as really. Is as really folksy in the beginning without, you know, people don't know that he's evil. It's quickly disarmed.

[A]

You can tell once you look at him, though, right? He does look like a sinister man.

[B]

Like Gargamel from the Smurfs.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Think of that like hunchback with the. With the fingers. And he's always scheming and finding ways to try and eat the little slave class. Don't you think, Gargamel?

[A]

That. Fair enough, Fair enough. In other news, Canada discreetly puts money down on 14 additional F35s despite an ongoing review. Ottawa made payments relating to the acquisition of more US Built fighter jets. So not so elbows up. And these things are more expensive now than they were when we should have bought them. Do you remember one of Trudeau's first acts is to. Was to pull us out of the F35 procurement in, I think, 2015. Because he said, you know, like, what are we gonna. What did he say? Something like, what are we gonna do? Whip out our F35s and instead he boug more F18 clunkers. Actually AF18s, retired F18s from Australia.

[B]

Another country. Yes.

[A]

Yeah, That I don't think are even flying yet. And so we're paying. Look, I'm not against this military procurement whatsoever, but the elbows up boomers tell me they are because they don't want to buy anything from the Americans. And these are costing way more than they should have been because we were supposed to go in with the rest of our NATO allies to buy these back in 2015. So now we're paying way more to get the same product because Justin Trudeau had to undo everything that Harper ever did.

[B]

Well, and I think that this approach, the approach of we'll throw money at it and keep reviewing it, also doesn't serve the Canadian taxpayer because this is the way of the Liberals. Right? They're like, we're looking at it, we're reviewing it, we've got our consultants on it. We're gonna. This, this review actually gets in the way of a full commitment and getting Canadian armed forces up to snuff on, on, on the international scale like that. The Liberals are paying a bunch of their friends to look at it and just sort of kick the can down the street. It. It isn't helping where they think it's going to help. It's just another stall tactic as far as I'm concerned.

[A]

Here it is. And I just found the. The link of Trudeau. Olivia, I just sent it to you. Justin Trudeau vows to scrap the F35 fighter jet program. And he. So this was. And he said, this is 2015. Our Canadian Forces are in a state of stagnation. Okay, then why did you cancel the state of the art procurement of the F35, which I saw in action in Israel, by the way. We went to an air show in Israel.

[B]

Did you?

[A]

Incredible.

[B]

Can we just put air shows on the calendar for this summer?

[A]

Like we could cover. You want to go to the Cold Lake air show?

[B]

Yes, ma'.

[A]

Am.

[B]

Yes, ma', am, I do.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, we could cover them for our. Our rebel viewers. No, this is Canada. Canada needed a strong military back in 2015, but after 10 years of liberal rot, 11 years of rebel liberal rot, we have never seen our military in such poor condition. And yet what did the Liberals do under Mark Carney? They're like, we're just going to review it some more.

[A]

Right?

[B]

We'll review it some more and throw money at it and nothing will come of it.

[A]

Well, and then Justin Trudeau, after 10 years after canceling the F35 procurement, where we could have got in on a cheaper price with these things and been 10 years ahead, then he's like, you know what I'm going to do? I'm gonna revamp the military and buy some F35s. And then the entire mainstream media was like, you know what? That's a great idea. I'm so glad you're the first person to have it. As though we're all hard of remembering when he canceled the F35s.

[B]

Also, what he did was he gave the military tampons. Right? He gave the military tampons instead of combat jets. That's what he did. So well done, Liberals. Well done for already.

[A]

I feel safer already. Hey, let's move on to the things that we love to talk about over here, and that is Western independence. This is Angus Reed Push polling. A recent Angus Reed poll shows the vast majority of Albertans wish to remain in Canada and disapprove of how Alberta. Alberta's premier, Daniel Smith has handled the issue. So let's watch this video and I want to know who they're talking to.

[B]

Oh, girl. All day. Angus Reed poll on Alberta separation is.

[A]

Being released this morning.

[B]

New data shows that despite a lot of noise by Alberta separatists wanting to leave Canada, the vast majority of Albertans want to stay with more. I'm joined now by CTV's Judy Trinh.

[D]

In our bureau this morning.

[B]

Judy, good morning to you.

[A]

So tell us about this poll and what you're learning.

[D]

Good morning, Marcia. What I can tell you is that despite a lot of media coverage lately in regards to Alberta separatist movement, it appears from this latest data gathered by Angus Reid that the support is wishy washy and not as strong as the media coverage would indicate. Now, there definitely is about 13 out of 10 Albertans support the idea of separating from Canada. Now you will see from this graphic that we're putting up that this support equates to about 29% of Albertans. Of that number, only 8% say they are definitely leaning that way. So it's not bedrock support. And the numbers of Albertans are overwhelmingly in support of staying in Canada. 65% say they would vote to stay, while the majority of that group who Support staying is 57%. Marcia. So you can see from these figures that the number of people who support Alberta separating from Canada is less than a third. And that support is wishy washy.

[B]

Okay, Judy, settle down. You know who isn't at any of the events talking to people who are interested in independence for the West? Judy Trin. Haven't seen her at 1. We've been at many. And if you talk to regular people instead of your fancy friends over in the mainstream media, you would understand that not everybody is willing to talk about this publicly yet. And talking to Angus Reed would be part of that. Sorry, but they would have a phone list that would be so skewed to the one side that they would completely miss the prevailing narrative that is catching on like wildfire across the prairies. I love this. Would move to another province or territory in Canada.

[A]

Sure. As if, buddy, you're gonna self deport. Let me call the U haul please.

[B]

Like we will. Oh, I'll crowdfund for you boomers. You want to skedaddle on to Ontario or Quebec? Oh, make my absolute day. Make my absolute day. What we can tell you, a valued rebel fam, is that everybody we talk to in Alberta and Saskatchewan is at least thinking about this, this topic, this very topic of independence. And many, many are two feet out.

[A]

The door for sure.

[B]

Many.

[A]

Let's go into Phil Fournier's analysis of this Angus Reed Institute. If a referendum was held on Alberta separation, would you vote for Alberta to leave Canada and become its own independent country or stay in Canada? All respondents, 65% is stay. 30% is leave. Conservative party voters, 49% leave, 45% stay. That's a problem for the Conservatives, by the way. And we saw that at the convention. Remember I said to you, I haven't spoken to a single person here who wants to stay. Everybody there and even the people from outside of the province was like, yeah, you guys gotta go.

[B]

It's wow, we don't blame you. This is the, this.

[A]

Yeah, that's what it was.

[B]

We don't blame you. We don't blame you at all. No It's Alberta, Alberta, Saskatchewan and the west deserve a fair deal. And the people of Alberta, Saskatchewan in the west are not getting that fair deal from the federal government. And this puts them, this puts the Conservative Party of Canada at a real impasse. Their, their membership and their base is saying, we see that nothing is getting fixed in Ottawa, that Even having conservatives 11 years in opposition, that, that opposition has been ineffective to represent our interests and, and we want something better for ourselves. So interesting times ahead.

[A]

Also, I think they're over sampling Edmonton in these polling.

[B]

Absolutely. 100%.

[A]

Yes. You know, Edmonton, as Ralph Klein once said, is a beautiful place with too many mosquitoes and socialists. And that is an evergreen statement. It's the seat of government. It's where all the unions are. And so if you over sample your polling data in Edmonton, you're going to get that like that. It will turn up like that. But as the UCP knows, to win in this province you need a majority of Calgary and all the rural areas. And if I had to guess where all the separatists are. The majority of Calgary and all the rural areas.

[B]

Yes, ma'. Am. Yeah, same for Saskatchewan. Same for Saskatchewan. Yeah, we, Regina is our seat of government. Everybody here is a flaming socialist except for me. And this is, this is where this, the stay in Canada sentiment would be coming from. You know, from the likes of Carla Beck and the NDP and what do we call her? Carla Nenshi.

[A]

Carla Nenshi. Lady Nenshi.

[B]

Lady Nenshi. Yes. But outside, outside of the metropolitan area of Regina, man, people are ready to go. They're just acknowledging that confederation is broken and we don't have a future within it.

[A]

Well, and also one in three, that's more than the people who vote for the Liberals and the NDP in Alberta combined. Yeah. Okay.

[B]

It's not nothing.

[A]

That ain't nothing. So even if it were that number, which I think is artificially low, I think they're over sampling in the urban areas. But even if it is that number, can we stop talking about these people like their fringe radicals? Can we stop talking about them like there's one guy separatist movement? I hate that there's really only one guy involved in the separatist movement. Instead you see these like guerrilla petition signing pop ups on the side of roads because people are so desperate to leave they can't train their canvassers fast enough.

[B]

They can't get the paperwork out. That's right. They can't get the paperwork out to them fast enough. They can't. They can't keep up to the demand of people who are just putting everything else on hold and going, we're doing this, Alberta. We're gone, we're out.

[A]

Yeah. And then we've got Jeffrey. A video from Jeff Rath. Is this from Jeff Wrath or is it of Jeff Wrath? We're coming in cold to the show here. Jeff Wrath keeps saying Alberta won't need taxes. Oh, this is this person. Oh, I should be the cringe. I could. Yes, but I could tell these people have a look about them, don't they? And I know some of you in the comments are like, sheila, quit making fun of people's looks. I look, I'm not winning any beauty pageants. I know, I know. How I came onto the show today, I was like, I need two minutes to put on mascara. Thanks, Olivia. So, like, let me preface that by saying, like, look, I'm not for everybody. I get it. But the second you see this face, you know how she votes?

[B]

You know, like, you know, she's out there. She was out there protesting for everything. You know, this type of person and her friends, she got some she's tendencies. She gets notions.

[A]

Yeah. You can tell, like, this is a person who are like, oh, okay, you voted ndp. Sounds great. But anyway, this person thinks that they're going to debunk Jeff Wrath, who says that Alberta won't need taxes after separation. But then this person goes on to not understand corporate income tax anyway.

[B]

Hey, so quick thing. When Jeff Wrath claims that if Alberta separates, we won't be paying taxes here anymore. He's lying to you. Yeah, oil and gas is privatized and that's not going to be changing anytime soon to benefit you. What? So how the is Alberta going to pay for infrastructure? Don't be a dummy. Hey, okay, okay.

[A]

Even I don't even think Jeff has said that we're not going to pay income tax. But I think he said it would be, you know, like quite a reduced rate. Whatever.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Because.

[B]

Because independence means that. That there would be no federal tax burden. You wouldn't be paying for the needs of people on the east coast in Quebec to pay for all their fancy fineries belonging to Confed. That's what he's. That's what he's claiming. And yet this person comes along.

[A]

But also, like, these are the people that Angus Reed is talking to who don't understand how royalties work. Right. You know, or.

[B]

Or how. Or how other countries do this. Singapore. Singapore. There's no income taxes. Or, or if it is, it's a very, very low Flat income tax. You know what I mean? 10. 10. But there's. There's. Everybody is working in Singapore. Everybody is hustling, and they find some of the best, most profitable companies to work there to pay for it. They have one of the highest standards of living on earth, and they. They're choosing the independence model.

[A]

Well, when Harper lowered income tax, guess what happened to general revenue in the government? It actually went up because it generated economic activity, and economic activity is taxable. People are spending into the economy. But this lady. Even if the oil companies paid no corporate income tax, in Sheila's fantasy football utopia, where there's no corporate or personal income tax, they still pay royalties because most of the land in this province, the mineral rights are held by the province on behalf of the people of Alberta. So the oil companies pay revenue. They pay royalties on their barrels. And like there's a very few people, I am one of them, who freeholds their mineral rights because my land predates the formation of the province. There's very few of us out there. Everything else, the province holds the mineral rights on behalf of the people. And so even if there is no corporate income tax, the oil companies still pay royalties on their barrels, and that is money to the province for roads.

[B]

For hospitals, for whatever infrastructure, for infrastructure in the public safety net.

[A]

We'll say, yeah, this person probably knows everything about Drag Queen Story Hour and nothing about how the economy works. You could tell just by looking at her.

[B]

I'd love to see Jeff Rath's response.

[A]

To that reach you. Oh, let's ask. Did he respond? Olivia, let's hit an ad break. Come back on the other side. And if Jeff Wrath responded, I would love to see. Or Keith Wilson, because I feel like Keith Wilson would have a very good response to that too. Let's hit an ad break. We'll come back on the other side. There's one seat left in the movie theater. It's in the front row.

[B]

You have a bad neck. This is what we call a last resort.

[A]

If your most recent electricity bill says the rate of last resort, then your rate is like the front row seat in the movie theater.

[B]

It will serve its purpose, but there.

[A]

This wallet is yours forever. All right. Oh, my computer froze up. Okay, let's get into this next story before we get into the incomprehensible, unpronounceable indigenous names with too many X's and sometimes backward sevens. How do you pronounce them backwards? Are you going to try to pronounce it?

[B]

I'm hooked on phonics, girlfriend. I was raised in the generation of sounded it out. So we're going to try this together, folks.

[A]

I don't know how to say a backwards seven. Wearing a hat. I don't know what that is phonetically. You have a minute to work on it because liberal MP John Paul Danko refers to Jamil Giovanni as Unity Mitford for meeting with U.S. officials. Now, for those of you who don't know, Mitford was a British fascist who ended up in Hitler's inner circle. Oh, we're hitting all the liberal high points here and lived in Munich before the war. So they're called basically calling Jamil Giovanni some sort of closet fascist for going to talk to the Americans. Which means this, I guess ipso facto that this liberal MP sitting in the House of Commons is calling Trump Hitler. It's atrocious, but absolutely not a new sentiment from these people.

[B]

Look at this suit, okay? A US Is hostile government, deliberate destruction of global allegiances and the stability that our country has relied on. We have a conservative party of Canada's own unity Mitford, who is attempting to freelance negotiations with the American president. Right now there's separatist movements. What a point of order.

[A]

Oh, that's bad. Not only is it like, like when you call everybody a Nazi, you actually are dulling the edge on that word. I've been to Auschwitz. You could still feel the evil in the air there. Nazis are evil, evil creatures. And when you start calling everybody, you disagree with that, you know what that does? It normalizes the Nazis. It takes the, the, the sharp off the edge of that word. So don't do it. But also we're in the middle of trade negotiations with the Americans. They're not going to let us open our bridge. And what do the liberals do? Stand up in the House of Commons and call Trump Hitler. By the way, he's reading he that's prepared talking points from a communications staffer. Yeah. Working for the Liberal Party. This wasn't a flub.

[B]

This wasn't, this wasn't just an off the cuff, you know, just out of his mind moment. This was a scripted moment where they called the president of our biggest, you know, of our biggest trade partner Hitler labels. What are you doing? Well, it's obvious they're trying to complicate things. It's obvious that they're campaigning often off of anti American sentiment. But this goes too far. We know that. We know that these kinds of sentiments leads to really, really terrible things happening. You know, when you, when you label.

[A]

People this way, dangerous, it is disgusting. Because Trump's son in law, daughter and grandchildren are Orthodox Jews. They named a neighborhood in the Golan Heights, Trump Heights. If he's being Hitler, he's not doing it right. By the way, same idiots stood up and clapped for an actual geriatric Nazi in the House of Commons. I'm not taking any lessons from these people. Maybe not Yaroslav Hunka. They're like, yeah, he fought the Russians. And it's like on our side, guys.

[B]

Without any one of them ever going, wait, what side were the Russians on again? Which not one of them.

[A]

Yeah, you clapped for behind the ss.

[B]

These are the people that consider themselves our moral and ethical superiors.

[A]

Yeah. So BC announces this is a video we'll watch together. BC announces the name for the patulo bridge replacement. This is where that. Where somebody's kookum interrupted the press conference. Remember that?

[B]

My sister Fay used to go to my sister Fay. Come get your. Come get your kookum.

[A]

Yeah, your kookum's out of control at this press conference. She took over the press conference with the infrastructure minister, I think at British Columbia and then just went off on a ramble. It was strong Grandpa Simpsons vibes where she was talking about how she tied an onion on her belt, which was the style at the time. Like it was. Gather round children. I'm gonna tell you about Zellers. It was like that in a press conference and it went on for like five minutes. Anyway, that bridge announcement, they've it. Oh go Lord above.

[B]

You know, every time. Every time I see this woman, I have to stop her from talking because I'm threatening to do something inappropriate because the laugh is hard. This is one of those.

[A]

It was. She was that meme where grandpa Simpson is sitting on the hill and all the children are. That's what she turned that press conference into. Anyways, BC announces the name replacement for the patulo bridge. It's called the. Oh my God. Stella swum again. How do you. How do I pronounce a backwards E?

[B]

How.

[A]

In the. Language.

[B]

In the hen cuminum language, a two.

[A]

Page guide in a video is being provided two pages.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

When you Provided by the government.

[B]

When you call 911 because of an accident and an accident on the petullo, don't forget to reference the two page explainer that the government put together to tell you to describe exactly where you are. How do you. How do you say it?

[A]

No matter what your medical emergency is, they're going to think you're having a stroke because they can't say the word stall O.

[B]

Awesome. It's called stolism.

[A]

Okay, well, Lawrence Garon from Musqueam is going to tell us. And it is important to note that this is a language that was made up at UBC in 2007. So I think this is newer than Elvish, which they use in Lord of the Rings. Let's watch together.

[B]

S as in the word sit in.

[A]

English, which makes a s sound. The next letter is a T. It.

[B]

Makes the sound an A in Hunt caminum is always pronounced like the A in the English word.

[A]

It's all this, the sound ah. Next letter is a glottalized L. The.

[B]

Next two letters together are schwa and a glottal capitalize W which make an O sound. The next letter is an A. It makes the sound ah is the same as the first S. It makes.

[A]

The sound S. The next letter is schwa. It makes the sound. The next letter is an M. And it makes the sound.

[C]

All of that together makes the name for the new bridge being Stall O.

[A]

Awesome. Stall O.

[B]

Awesome.

[A]

Stall O. Awesome.

[B]

I. Stallo awesome. Stallo awesome is the Huntaminum version, which translates into Riverview. Okay, we chose that because. Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and call it the Petullo. Just gonna keep calling again and everybody will know what I'm talking about.

[A]

This was a written last Hollow. Awesome.

[B]

Stall Awesome. I got it real wrong. My hooked on phonics brain was going so sideways.

[A]

Another source suggests Stallo Awesome. Why didn't we spell it phonetically then?

[B]

Right, like.

[A]

And many of the letters were like, it's an M pronounced M. Oh, okay. So the same like, what.

[B]

What are we doing here?

[A]

And again, this is a language that was made up at UBC in 2007.

[B]

By a bunch of hoity elitist academics. Yes, this is.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Again, it's a gorgeous bridge.

[A]

Even call it the Riverview. I don't care. Like I. I don't care. But why are we doing this? And again, emergency services are never going to find you.

[B]

Never ever.

[A]

Best of lucky. Yeah, I'm. Let's go into the thing that I'm doing a video on. I already wrote the video. I just have to film it after I'm done this. After my hair calms down. Daniel Smith talking about this and the ata, the Alberta Teachers association is slightly angry with me because I called them a bunch of perverts yesterday on the Internet. And I don't care. I regret nothing. I'll do it again and I'll actually tell you why I called them perverts. But anyway, they have canceled. Paul Brandt. We talked about it on the show yesterday. Paul Brent was a pediatric nurse before he became a multi Juno award winning Alberta musician who went off to Nashville. Struck it big, but his roots are in Alberta and he sang a love song about us called Alberta Bound. And he was scheduled to speak at, I think the Northern Alberta ATA Teachers convention. Yeah, this is their big.

[B]

This is their like big, you know, year off school. Yes.

[A]

Two days off school is what it is. To me. So he was scheduled to speak at their convention and he has not. Not for profit non profit foundation called not in my city. It fights human trafficking. There's a. A safe room at the Calgary airport, actually that he was in conjunction with a Calgary detective was instrumental in opening it. And I think in its. In its first month, I think it helped three or five women who were being trafficked at the airport. So he's saving lives.

[B]

A little aside. A little aside. When you go through the Calgary airport, which I almost always have to go through to get to anywhere else in the country from Saskatchewan, all of the women's washroom stalls are plastered with a little sticker that says if you are in trouble, if you are being trafficked, if you have any. Listen, if you need help, you call this number. We are here for you. And I thought how wonderful to be in this. Is that right? Well, Paul Brandt, my hats off to you brother, because I can't tell you how appreciated that is. I wish they would have have that in every public washroom for women these days.

[A]

They. So they canceled him because he published his own lyrics to a song and they were like, oh, he's winking at the separatists. Even if he were, who cares? It's his lyrics, don't you know? Like, I think I'm the crazy lady with the post. It notes on the board that this is next level.

[B]

Where you're like, this is.

[A]

They're drawing this conclusion because he publishes his own lyrics and it says I've got independence in my veins. And they're like, oh, I guess he's a separatist now. And even if he is, who gives a crap, lady? But anyways. No, go ahead. I'll be quiet. Go ahead.

[B]

I. I was just going to say this is woke censorship and education like we talk about every day on, on this program. They identified Paul Brandt as a threat to their safe space. That's what they did. He. He offended their crazy sensibilities. And this is a guy that works in. In anti human trafficking. Yeah, this is it. Really. Oh, they showed their true selves here. The ata. Tell me we have a video to watch.

[A]

We don't have a video to watch, but we have a statement from our premiere. Okay.

[B]

Daniel Smith.

[A]

Daniel Smith came out against these guys last night. Again, the ata. You guys are just the worst. And I will call you perverts because of the things you advocate for. You canceled Paul Brent. But you're okay with men in sequined ladies underpants gyrating their junk at Little Kids in the library, you're perfectly fine with. Sexualized graphic books in the school library, you're fine with that. But you're angry at Paul Brandt because of a song he wrote 20 years ago. Weirdos. Absolute weirdos. Anyways, Danielle Smith posted to her social media last night and I'm glad she did. Paul Brandt also works with the provincial government on anti human trafficking. I think he does it for free, she said. I'm immensely disappointed by the Alberta Teachers Association's decision to withdraw Paul Brent as one of their keynote speakers at the North Central Teachers Convention this past week. Not only is Paul Brent one of Canada's greatest musicians, but his organization, not in My City, has been leading the fight against sex trafficking for years. Especially when it comes to endangering our children. Something these teachers are supposed to care about. Standing up for the victims of sex trafficking. Trafficking is most certainly a nonpartisan cause. When the ATA searches for some sort of explanation as to why they canceled his recent appearance to engage with teachers. I encourage all Albertans to learn more about the important work that Paul does by visiting his website. Not in My city, ca. He's just a genuinely good dude, you.

[B]

Know, and so many more people were exposed to his good work by Danielle Smith platforming there. Good for her for sticking up for Paul Brandt and the good people of the world. But you know, how refreshing is it, how refreshing is it to see a premier come out against some of this craziness, you know, in Regina, Yeah, in Regina several months ago, they brought in an absolutely crazy left wing, a radical left wing anti parent campaigner from Manitoba to the Saskatchewan Teachers Convention. And there was not a word from our government on it. There was not a word from our education minister, not from our premier, not from nobody. You know what we had to do? We just had to suffer that indignity and shut up about it. That's what was expected of us. And I can't tell you how much I appreciate Danielle standing up for, for students and for parents and the people of Alberta in this regard.

[A]

Yeah, we talked about it yesterday. They brought in a convicted murderer to talk in 2019. He strangled a woman high on drugs because he couldn't get an erection and he killed her. And they brought, and he got, I don't know, seven years in jail and that was in 2019. He was convicted in 2007, appealed, spent seven years in jail, and then now he's monetizing the murder of a woman and he's a story of redemption. And they platformed him in 2019.

[B]

But they at the ATA brought a woman murderer into.

[A]

Yes, ma'. Am.

[B]

My God. Danielle Smith. Defund them. Defund them. Just take all their money away, okay? None of these people deserve your money. Oh, and in Saskatchewan, like, they've got an even harder lock. This is why we Education system.

[A]

Yeah. We need right to work legislation. Because I know so many good teachers who would be just appalled at this.

[B]

They are appalled at this. This is the crazy thing. They are appalled at this. But their. Their unions are so back.

[A]

Powerful and powerful.

[B]

Yes. And even when they're pretending to take the side of the teachers that they claim to represent, they're working against them. It's gross.

[A]

Yeah, we saw that during the teacher strike, you know. Okay, this from Andrew Lawton, sort of on the same topic. Six men charged with trying to buy sex from children. You can't buy sex from children. You are abusing them. Have been released on a promise to appear in Durham. It's a human trafficking ring. And as our friend Tamara Leech points out, Chris Barber and her aren't even allowed to leave their houses unless it's for work.

[B]

To the two tier justice right here. Canada. Hey, can we click on that? Can we click on that?

[A]

Let's open the link.

[B]

Well, let's see the names of the people that were arrested.

[A]

I think I know what you're getting at. Let's go.

[B]

Olivia, can you click that? Durham. Durham, Lincoln and Andrews. Therehere we go. Six men arrested for human trafficking investigation in Durham. Focused on minors, they say quite nicely in the night. Okay, here we go.

[A]

Arrested on 19 charges and your suspicions were correct.

[B]

Ready, everybody? Okay, these are. These are people that have been arrested, not convicted. Manish Thing, 22, of Brampton, Bruce Harrington, 5050 of Ajax, Nicholas Chen, 24, of Markham, Sarang Capti, 33, of Pickering, Leo.

[A]

D.

[B]

27, of Oshawa, and Christopher Smith, 39 of Oshawa.

[A]

All were released on an undertaking.

[B]

Oh, Canada. Yeah. I mean, the measure of a society is how it protects its children. And this is how the government of Canada is protecting the children of Canada. By letting people who would victimize them and abuse them go home.

[A]

Yeah. The Human Trafficking Unit launched an ongoing initiative called Project Firebird to combat those trying to buy sexual services from people under 18 years old. Officers say the project also educates and supports victims and potential victims of these crimes and addresses concerns raised by community members. It's weird because in Alberta, the ATA doesn't want to hear about this sort of stuff. In January, Project Firebird saw multiple people arranging meetings for sexual services. With minors. Even though the suspects were fully aware they were talking to minors.

[B]

So this was some, this was some sort of like sting operation on the Internet where a, an, an officer that's working in, in this area would strike up a conversation with somebody they found online and posed like they are a child and are looking for a meetup. And then these men showed up.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

And then they were arrested and let out back into their communities. How safe do you guys feel in Ashwa right now? In a Jack?

[A]

Yuck. Yuck. Or for that matter Edmonton. Because the ATA doesn't want to hear about how they can see the signs of these sort of things manifesting in children in their classroom. They would tell you because of politics.

[B]

They would tell you that children are curious about these kind of things and it's up to them to answer.

[A]

Yeah, I've seen the books. I've seen the books. Okay. I looked at the books that they had in the classrooms and then they pulled that stunt because they had to get them out of the classroom. I saw the books they were okay with showing other people's kids. Remember that?

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And that's why I call them perverts. And I regret none of it. I'll call them perverts again. Anyway, last story on the agenda. Judge revokes. This is a rare move in Canada because we didn't revoke the citizenship of convicted terrorists. Judge revoked citizenship of Guatemalan who helped lead massacre of an entire 200 person village. Federal Court Justice Roger La Frenier put an end to a nearly nine year legal saga by revoking the 34 year old citizenship of Jorge Venizio Sosa Orantes. How's that?

[B]

Oh, very good. Sounds dangerous.

[A]

Yeah. Jorge, I think horror game. So. Oh yeah, that key, those. That's an evil guy's face for sure. He was the fourth in command of a Guatemalan Special forces unit, asosa. Both murdered and ordered the killing of civilians in the 1982 Last Dose Erez massacre that effectively wiped out the village off the face of the earth.

[B]

Diversity is our strength.

[A]

He obtained his Canadian citizenship in 1992 via scepter fuge. The judge also ordered Sosa to pay nearly a quarter million dollars to cover the federal government's costs for the trial, which included arranging the testimony of one of the only two massacre survivors, two of Sosa's former military colleagues who were present during the bloodbath and eight expert witnesses or Canadian immigration officials. Why did we entertain any of this? We should have just said, oh you, you're a murderer.

[B]

Oh hey, you can't come. Yeah, you can't come and you can't stay. Master massing an entire village.

[A]

He taught people how to torture other people. I'm not going to read the 36 page ruling, but it recounts the testimony of Sosa's former military colleagues about how Sosa taught his unit torture methods on live victims in a practice zone called the zombie area.

[B]

Oh, you guys, this is not good. This is not good. And it was a nine year, a nine year odyssey to get him out of the country. This shouldn't be this hard. It shouldn't be this hard. Speaking about another case where a, a person caused a bunch of chaos and is still in Canada. The humble Broncos driver of the truck. His case is ongoing. This is now eight years after the fact, still fighting deportation. I mean this shouldn't be, this shouldn't even be an issue. We should have base guidelines of who we want in the country and these two guys violated both of them.

[A]

Yeah, I just. If we find out that you're involved in a genocide, we don't need to entertain your BS for nine years evidence. We shouldn't even. Why are we flying in people who witnessed the genocide? We, we know it happened, we know he was involved. Out you go.

[B]

That should be enough. And are we under any illusions that nobody is going to get paid back? The judge ordered him to pay hundreds, thousands of dollars. Yeah, exactly.

[A]

We've got couple of chats and a cringe. Oh, one chat. Okay. So Teresa McCleary, 4939 gives 10 bucks and she says I worked a pop up station, I think a petition signature collecting station.

[B]

Oh yeah.

[A]

In Calgary on Sunday. I had an elderly lady that signed and was, was crying because she was not able to stand in the lines and thought she would not get to vote. Our boomers are better than theirs.

[B]

They just are our bloomers. They're just, look at them blooming where they're planted. They are the station and signed your name and probably one of the, probably one of the, the most important votes or signatures of her life. It's incredible. It's incredible the opportunity that's being given to Alberta right now.

[A]

I wonder. Like I, I don't know the rules around canvassing and I'm ashamed that I don't. But can they go to the nursing homes and the senior centers? Because they should.

[B]

They would love the company. The people that live there would love the company. They always do. Yeah, that's a good idea.

[A]

They shouldn't be forgotten. We, our boomers are better than theirs.

[B]

Our bloomers.

[A]

Yeah, that's right.

[B]

Western bloomers. Eastern boomers. Yep.

[A]

The cringe. This is from the Daily Mail.

[B]

I've waited my whole life for this moment. You guys, every Olympics, I do an Olympic fashion rundown. Okay. I take all of the. I take all of the uniforms. Not costumes, uniforms. And then I. I show you the best ones. And so here's.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And here's a rundown of Olympic Fashion 2026.

[A]

Yes. And I described the Canadian Olympic team as. They were all in a cluster coming out like the snow melt in a ditch where it's just coffee cups. That's what he looked like just walking out. I've never seen Winter Olympics worst dress. This is from the Daily Mail. You know, it's Canada's on the list. You know how I feel about their.

[B]

Outfits for all the wrong reasons.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

The fashion police were called on Team Canada's uniforms.

[A]

And Team Canada is right there. First one. Someone described it as hideous and embarrassing. Look.

[B]

Okay, you guys, what is. It does look like it is some sort of blanket slash dress. They're cross dressing our male accent. Guys, look at this. A tunic. They put them in a tunic.

[A]

It's a Snuggie.

[B]

So the Lululemon. This is what I noticed from the other pictures I saw online was like the Lululemon log red background look like. Like nipple covers. When you. When you look at it head on, like it's just the most.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And we have another photo. Olivia. If you scroll down when they're coming out in the coffee cup in the ditch formation, you can see the logos. How they look like pasties.

[B]

Yeah, I just. There's nothing. Or they sort of look like roosters a little bit. Like the color is just awful.

[A]

We can buy those. They describe them as vests, but I. Are they vests for 198Canadian dollarios for.

[B]

A quilted vest that looks like crap. Actual crap. What did you say it looked like? You said it looked like a.

[A]

A piston sleeping bag from Goodwill and a coffee cup had a baby. Yes, I did say that. Look at that. What is that?

[B]

This is so embarrassing. This is so embarrassing. Okay, so it was also. It was also my observation that when they. When they are without the vest. So when they're just in the brown uniform, like, it looks.

[A]

We have it down there. We have.

[B]

It looks menacing. Okay.

[A]

Look at our athletes in the. Just the. Like the brown tracksuit.

[B]

They look like hostages. This looks like a hostage. Vintage video.

[A]

Maduro was better dressed when the Americans snatched him and gave him a new Tracksuit. Way better dressed than our athletes.

[B]

This is embarrassing. Like, I'm. I'm going back to the days in, you know, the 90s when we had the bright red and white and everybody had the little berets. And we've had some really, really great Olympic uniforms over the years.

[A]

1988, Calgary. The best. We should have stopped there with the.

[B]

Cow with a cowboy hats.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

With the white Stetson. To your right. Yeah. Oh, that's when I fell in love with Elizabeth Manley. The figure skater. Canadian figure skater Elizabeth Manley. Okay, shout out. I've been in love with you since the age of nine because of that moment she was with her cute little.

[A]

Short hair, her adorable eyebrows.

[B]

I mean, I can't get over how adorable Elizabeth Manley's current eyebrows still are. I'm really super fan of that moment. Oh, she's adorable. Elizabeth Manley. Just a treat. But, yeah, our costume are.

[A]

That was like the Elvis Stoico, Kurt Browning era.

[B]

That's when figure skating was a whole vibe. Remember Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan?

[A]

Nancy Kerrigan. Oh, yeah.

[B]

I feel that now. Like, I grew up in that era. So you wonder, you know, you wonder now.

[A]

Can we scroll down to the Great Britain team?

[B]

Can we look at all?

[A]

Yeah, please.

[B]

Just real quick, Olivia, just show me what.

[A]

I know I'm running late, but that's okay.

[B]

We got two more minutes.

[A]

First, go scroll down to Great Britain. Adorable and very British vibe. I would give you coat.

[B]

The knit.

[A]

Yeah. The scarf.

[B]

Just beautiful.

[A]

Absolutely. Who is behind that?

[B]

Look at the buttons.

[A]

Look at the peak.

[B]

Oh, lovely.

[A]

Team France is going to the moon, though.

[B]

100. Oh. Are they looking a little bit, like, spatial?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

Oh, big moon landing.

[B]

They're going for intergalactic guys. This is what they're going for.

[A]

Yeah. It's not ugly, but it is a thing.

[B]

And then it's not exactly flattering either. I'd say. Yeah, this is not a flattering uniform.

[A]

The Germans have a. A less boring, okay, Canada vibe. They're in a shapeless snuggie.

[B]

Oh, I kind of. I. I kind of like it. Like, I like that abstract or the pat. Or is it. Is it words?

[A]

It looks like. Yeah, I like that jigsaw.

[B]

I think they're letters. I think they're letters.

[A]

I don't hate it. I don't need it.

[B]

I like.

[A]

I would wear this around a campfire and not be sad if a spark got on me, you know what I mean?

[B]

It. Yep. It looks like something that it. It looks like a Snuggie. Like a zip up Snuggie. Which is fine. Yeah, which is fine. I have my most favorite Sheila. Remember I sent it to you and I was like, why we aren't doing this kind of fashion? Do you remember it? It was. I want to say it was like from. I sent it in the group chat. Olivia. Okay. This is my favorite, absolute peak, favorite Olympic uniform on earth. I don't know the country it is. I actually don't. I think it might be Haiti. Is it Haiti?

[A]

Look at. Oh, you would wear that in a second.

[B]

You guys, I swear to God, this is inspiring me to make a snowsuit style gown for my bottom legs. Living in Saskatchewan in the cold north. Look at this. Look how beautiful. This is absolutely spectacular. This is my favorite outfit.

[A]

I like the pockets. I love a dress with pockets.

[B]

Look at her little. Look at her little hands tucked in her little downfield pockets. Like it creates a little muff. And then you have the little horse at the bottom and the greenery and the matching boots. I love everything about this, including the head wrap. You guys know I love a head wrap. And I'm just gonna recreate this. But for. For Saskatchewan, I'm just so sad.

[A]

I mean, there's such an opportunity for the Canadian athletes to wear buffalo check. And they never put them in it.

[B]

And be the cutest and like, just be the cutest, cutest team. Anyway, they hired Lululemon for a winter country.

[A]

We look like we're homeless. Strangling ducks in a public park in the new Canada. Canada 2040 is what we look like.

[B]

Those aren't uniforms. Those are a cry for help.

[A]

Right. Post apocalyptic survival outfits, you see? Yeah. Anyway, I think that's the.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Fact check says the one above was from Haiti. Okay, let's. Before we move on and I know I'm over time, I still have to film a video and I gotta get somewhere. The Americans. Ralph Lauren. Just look at what the Americans are wearing. And we look like hobos.

[B]

Don't. I can already. Oh. Clean lines. Perfectly white wool coats with toggle buttons, pleated pants, gorgeous leather belts and shoes. Just beautiful, clean Americana.

[A]

The dawn of a new America. And we look like Canada 2040. Generational mortgages, killing ducks in the park for food. That's what we look like. Yeah.

[B]

This is spectacular. I've loved Ralph Lauren polo stuff, like, for. For my whole life. I've been a Ralph Lauren fan. And that is beautiful. Just gorgeous.

[A]

All right, let's wrap the show. Yeah, there's us homeless. All right, let's wrap the show. Olivia, just the one chat. Yes, ma'.

[B]

Am.

[A]
