(00:11):
America is a bully.
America is an unreliable allyand the great Satan.
There's an oldie, in fact.
It's the worst country in theworld except for all the others,
especially Canada.
Today on the 10th, man, aspromised, it's time to roast one
(00:35):
of our allies and we're gonnachoose Canada.
Canada has been misbehavinglately and needs to be punished
because they're supposed to dowhatever America says.
We love Canada.
They're our little brother, butsometimes they act unruly.
They want to be, uh, Europe'slittle bitch instead of our
little brother, and we can'thave that now.
(00:59):
They're basically America'sattic up there above us, most of
the time forgotten.
And, uh, not that we put ourtrash up there, it's actually
the other way around.
Canada imports their trash tothe US to go to the dump.
But putting that aside.
Let's look at some of the, uh,things that we could say about
Canada that you could say the,the whole point being that you
(01:21):
can criticize any country and doit unfairly.
And America's often put underthe microscope, so we just wanna
demonstrate how, with a littlebit of familiarity with our
neighbors, we can do the samekind of roasting of them that
they, that they, that they oftendo of us, they always do of us.
So Canada.
(01:42):
As you know, it's just likeAmerica, except it's a lot nicer
and it's the, it's big.
It's the second largest countryin the world by land area, and
they're strong and independentand they have the RCMP, the
Mounties, and people get upabout, go about by dog sled or,
or, or snowmobile.
If they're more modern and theyharvest maple syrup and they eat
(02:06):
poutine.
So nowadays our two governmentsare in are in conflict.
So let's just take a look attheir government, actually, the
Canadian government is veryhaphazard.
They don't really have a writtenconstitution.
They say they do.
They think they do, but theirconstitution is actually a
(02:27):
collection of documents thatthey have agreed to call their
constitution, and then a lot ofjust unwritten customs that they
all follow.
Well, every country tends to dothis to some degree, as we will
learn when we start looking atthe Constitution.
But in Canada it's especiallyhaphazard and risky because none
(02:48):
of their rights are reallywritten down.
They don't really have rights.
They subscribe to the UnitedNations, the so-called Rights of
man, which says, everybodyshould be happy and you should
give your neighbor.
Social security and medical careand things like that, but
there's nobody that, there'snothing in that that implies
that people have any duties, norany reason or, or any means for
(03:12):
you to maintain your rights suchas a right to defend yourself.
They don't have any of that, andwe'll see how that's dangerous.
They Congress or theirlegislature speaking generally,
they have two houses that soundsfamiliar.
They have an upper and lower.
And of course, Canada'sgovernment is modeled after
England's, which is their firstmistake.
(03:36):
But the House of Commons isreally the only house they have
because the, uh, the Senate, theSenate just rubber stamps
everything the House of Commonsdoes and the Senate, they're not
even elected.
All the senators are appointedby the Governor General.
So you don't really effectivelyhave two houses.
So how does that sound so far?
(03:59):
their head of government is aprime minister.
It used to be, uh, JustinTrudeau.
But he's gone now.
He's gone.
And how was he elected?
No one really knows.
Well, they know how he iselected, but it's not written
down.
There's no defined method ofselecting the Prime Minister of
(04:20):
Canada.
I find it especially amusingwhen people criticize our
election of our president as notbeing a direct popular vote.
Here's how it goes in, uh,Canada.
In Canada, you vote for a memberof parliament and whichever
political party has the mostmembers, then those guys select
a prime minister.
So as you know, they just have anew.
(04:40):
Prime Minister having beenselected.
Mr.
Kearney, do you know how manyvotes he got outta the
population of Canada?
How many people in Canada votedfor Mark Carney 132,000
population of 40 million people.
132,000 people picked the PrimeMinister of Canada.
So when people tell you no othercountry in the world has the
(05:05):
electoral college that we have,that's stupid.
This is what they're comparingit to.
This is what they're comparingit to.
Yes.
No one else has the electricalcollege, or very few have the
electrical college that we have.
They have something like this.
Oh, and then, then don't forgetthat monarch thing.
So the.
(05:25):
Party decides who will be theprime minister and makes that
suggestion to the king, and thenif the king approves it, then he
becomes the prime minister.
So this is why all theproclamations about objecting to
unelected billionaires arereally hollow complaints.
Now here's everybody's favoritefun fact about Canada.
(05:48):
It's that it's huge.
There are a few huge countriesin the world and we often joke
about the Europeans, and I thinkthe Europeans get tired of it,
of saying, oh, you don't realizehow far it is from one state to
the other.
And Canada's one of those.
In fact, Canada's the, uh,fourth largest country in the
world by land area.
And uh, yes, you heard thatright?
(06:09):
I find it very amusing.
When they say they're the secondlargest, I actually heard.
Um, and, uh, I guess we'll talka little bit about why people
might know a lot about Canada.
I'm go back to my youth, my teenyears back before, um, back
before people had FM radio intheir cars and a little known
(06:31):
fact, it used to be FM washorizontally polarized, so you
could pick it up pretty wellwith your TV antenna with those
sideways.
Elements, but your car antennadidn't until the seventies.
Uh, that's when all the rockstations started switching to uh
fm.
But before that, back in thesixties and sixties and
(06:51):
seventies, we listened to AMradio.
So over on the, uh, west coastof Michigan where I grew up, the
AM radio waves would travelacross the water.
We would listen to, uh, thestations in Chicago, WLS and
WCFL, and uh, uh, DJs, artRoberts, Larry Lujack, uh, JJ
(07:11):
Jeffrey, and that was the westside of the state.
So over on the east side.
So over in southeast Michigan,they would listen to.
CKLW and that would be the rockstation, the M rock station out
of Windsor, Ontario.
And that's, there were, therewere stations in Detroit too, of
course.
(07:32):
But, uh, now that rock and rollhas gone to fm all those
stations have become, have,become, uh, news talk stations
as WLS has, and CKLW certainlyhas.
So you can turn on the radiohere and listen to CKLW if
you're in southeast Michigan.
It's, uh, 800 on the AM Band,and I recommend you do so.
One of the things you'll hear isthey're, uh, giving you the
(07:54):
temperature in degreesFahrenheit, So you can tune into
CKLW and listen to News Talk,and they'll talk about the
American elections and who theywant to win.
And you'll find just like here.
Uh, just like here, there arepeople interested in Trump
support supporting Trump andpeople opposed to Trump.
And, uh, when we have anelection, they'll have a poll on
there of who you want to win,kind of election interference.
(08:17):
I.
Also you can, uh, if you canmake the drive from Michigan to
Buffalo, you're probably gonnadrive over to the Blue Water
Bridge across that Sarnia anddrive to, uh, Niagara Falls,
Ontario, and over.
And you can listen to AM radiothere.
And you can also do what I do,which is, uh, listen to the,
(08:37):
listen to the CBCA, and, uh, andyou can pick that up on your, on
your, uh.
Spotify, or even on your, yourcable channel, you can watch,
you can watch the CBC news andlearn a lot about Canada that
way, and you'll find that ittruly, they are not that much
different from us, unlike whatthe press here would have you
(08:59):
believe.
But you can also see a lot oftheir warts and we'll talk about
some of them.
So let's talk about this.
Uh.
Second largest country in theworld by land area.
I heard a member of parliamentsay that.
I don't know what they weredebating, but he said, uh, and
as a citizen of Canada, thesecond largest country in the
world by land, era.
Era, and it's like, hold onthere, Pierre.
(09:22):
No you're not.
Canada is the fourth largestcountry in the world by land
area.
It's smaller than Russia.
Of course it's smaller thanChina, it's smaller than the us.
It's number four.
Russia has 6,300,000 squaremiles of area.
China has 3,600,000.
(09:43):
The US has 3,530,000, and Canadahas 3,510,000 square miles of
land area.
It is not much smaller, but itis definitely smaller than the
other two than China and the USand much smaller than Russia.
Now, if they wanna change thatstanding, all they have to do is
(10:06):
join the US like they've beeninvited.
And uh, of course if Albertajoins the us, like some are
talking about, of course it'llput, make the US much bigger
than China or Canada.
And these numbers are importantfor actually for another reason.
'cause if you look at it, China,the US, and Canada are all
virtually the same size andCanadians.
(10:28):
If you want to tell everybodythat you're the second biggest
country in the world by totalarea because you happen to have
a long coast line and uh, allthat water also counts, fine, go
ahead and do that, but it's notgonna change this fact.
Here's the big differencebetween Canada's land area and
the, and the, and the us.
(10:48):
China and Russia.
Canada has a lot of dirt, butyou can't grow crops on any of
it.
And, uh, Australia, when we cometo you, don't laugh'cause you're
in the same boat.
So if you ever want to be likethe US in Canada, uh, you never
will be.
Canada only has one third, theamount of farmland of other
(11:10):
countries like China, India,Russia, and the US Canada's just
ahead of Nigeria and Ukraine interms of land, crop land where
you can grow any food and othercountries are not even on the
same scale as, uh, the US andIndia.
Canada has something called theCanada Shield.
(11:34):
It's a, it's a giant rockformation that comes up to the
top and there's no top soil onit, and it covers half of
Canada.
So not only are you not thebiggest, but what you do have is
not valuable land.
Now One of the funniest thingsabout Canada is how they're
trying so hard to be Europe's alittle tag along.
You ought to take a look at theglobe, see which side of it
(11:55):
you're on, and they're obviouslyAmerica's little tag along and
they ought to just embrace that.
In fact, Trump offered themAmerican citizenship, which the
people arguing for immigrantrights say is the greatest prize
in the world.
But Canadians, they wereinsulted.
(12:17):
Uh, well that really wasn't verypolite.
If you don't want to be anAmerican citizen, just politely
decline.
You don't have to be insultingabout it, but they truly are.
America's tag along, notEurope's.
Just go into Home Depot, firstof all, realize that in Canada
they have Home Depots going inHome Depot.
You're gonna find'em sellingnails in one pound boxes.
(12:40):
Turn on your television, you canwatch this show.
In America, there's a showcalled Decks and Docks.
Well, the show's in Ontario, andthey'll drive up to a house, get
out their tape measures, andthey say, yeah, we're gonna add
out, we're gonna put a deckhere, uh, 16 by 20.
And then they'll go get a loadload of plywood, same way as we
do in a bunch of two by fours.
Uh, none of that's metric.
(13:01):
Uh, go on to, uh, go on toZillow.
You can find homes for sale onZillow and find'em in, uh, over,
in, you know, Windsor orBrampton or London, anywhere.
And those are all Ontario citiesthat I happen to know the names
of.
Go on Zillow and you can findall the houses are advertised in
square feet.
And all the loss are advertisingacres.
(13:23):
Well, if they got an acre rightand they're all sold in dollars,
how come it's dollars notpounds?
Well, it's Canadian dollars.
Well, sure, but why isn't itCanadian pounds?
So I.
They, uh, they, they're reallybig on saying they switched to
the metric system.
But if you go into theirschools, the kids are still
drawing lines with a foot ruler.
It's also marked out to 30centimeters.
(13:45):
Big deal.
It's still a foot ruler.
And when they changed the metricsystem, what they did is they
went and took all the signs andchanged them.
So all the highway signs saykilometers per hour, and
everybody knows that.
Uh, a hundred is the same as 60,basically, uh, 62.
And, uh.
So now all the Indians up in, upinto the Yukon Northwest
(14:10):
Territories.
Yeah.
I know you want me to call it,none of it, but I will have none
of it.
And you're still gonna say,well, how far is it, how far it
is to a yellow knife or medicinehat?
Well, it's uh, it's a four hourdrive from here.
What's that?
In kilometers?
Well, who cares?
It depends on the traffic.
It it's, well, the traffic, thedistance does depend on the
(14:31):
traffic, but you know what I'msaying.
Okay, so I was at, uh, I was atRed Rock Canyon and, uh, I heard
somebody making a joke talkingabout, talking about the metric
system, and they were talkingabout the temperature.
'cause the, the guides had toldus the te the temperature.
And it turns out these peopleare Canadians, typical Canadian
tourists coming down here andbeing impolite about it.
(14:52):
And they're, they made a commentabout us being the only ones
that weren't on the metricsystem.
And I said, well, what'd youmean by that?
And then they, they went, uhoh.
Oh.
They said, oh no, we've got aProud American here.
It's like, what?
No, I just wanna know whatyou're talking about.
And, and she said, well, we werejust, we were just talking about
how you're the only one, onlyones on the metric system.
(15:12):
I said, so, oh yeah.
So what are you, you're aboutfive two, aren't you?
And she says, yeah.
I said, well, what is that indeca deca meters?
What is that in meters?
Well, they give their height,they give their height in, uh,
feet in inches.
In Canada, they give theirweight in pounds.
And you go to the deli if somestuff is in grams and some stuff
(15:35):
is in, uh, pounds, and you, youbuy beer, it's in a 12 ounce,
can they call it 320milliliters?
But how is that metric?
And you asked them why and theysaid, well, we just do that
because we're close to you andit's easier.
Well, that's the exact samereason we do it.
Okay.
We just do whatever's easier,but everybody else makes an
(15:57):
issue of somehow they're moreintelligent than we are.
I guess.
Uh, we won't be seeing as manytourists out at Red Rock Canyon
from Canada because they'resupposedly not coming here.
Well, what's that gonna do toour tourist income?
Well, it'll have a limitedeffect because, uh, for, for one
thing, the Canadians, they don'ttip.
(16:19):
I think a lot of tourists comehere and they say, well, this is
nice.
Everything's so cheap.
Everything's all the food's.
Very low price in the, in therestaurants.
Well, yeah, it's cheap becauseyou didn't, you didn't tip the
staff.
You cheap skates.
The uh, yeah.
All the people in Florida, allthese service people in Florida,
they're not that upset aboutCanadians not coming down
because they don't tip.
(16:42):
Canadians like to say that theircrime rate is lower than the US.
And, you know, uh, that'squestionable.
But why don't, why do they saythe us why is the US the
standard for everything?
Why don't they say their crimerate is lower than the uk?
Uh,'cause it's not, it's noteven close.
I, they might try sayingsomething like they don't, might
(17:05):
try making the claim that theyhave the lowest crime in the,
uh, Western Hemisphere becausecrime seems to go up going from,
uh, uh, east to west.
But crime rate also goes upgoing from, uh, south to north,
farther north.
You go the lower crime you go.
I said, I said it wrong, but thecrime goes down going, uh, from
(17:25):
south to north.
I probably said the other onewrong too.
Or the farther you get from thecr, the equator, the less crime
you have.
And Canada's not next to a thirdworld country like the US is.
So they like to, they like to,uh, take advantage of that fact
and, um, they're not getting allthe.
Illegal immigrants because theycome to here for some reason,
(17:47):
they come to here, an openborders concept stops at our
northern border.
And that's not even getting intothe, the fact that we have a
bigger problem of inner citycrime.
We won't, we will talk aboutthat later on, but we don't
wanna make that a racistcomment, just we do have a
different situation, but here'sthe most important thing.
They're not saying.
(18:08):
Yeah, your crime rate might belower in some cases now, but
yours is going the wrongdirection.
Yours is going the wrongdirection.
That's why on, you know, theWorld Happiness Index, Canada
just went down, they went downto 18th place from, I forget
where they were, ninth orsomething like that.
It's'cause their crime is goingdown or crime is going up.
(18:30):
It's getting worse in America.
All crime, all crime statisticsare going down and Canada's
going up.
You go to Canada right now,you're not gonna believe this,
so go look it up yourself.
Property crime is higher inVancouver, British Columbia, and
(18:50):
Toronto, Ontario than it is inNew York City and la All right.
Property crime is higher inthose Canadian cities than it is
in New York or la and.
Canada's not exempt from massmurder.
We are gonna be approaching thisweek, the April 18th anniversary
(19:12):
of the Nova Scotia massshootings, just a few years ago,
2020.
That shooter.
We'll have to feature this onthe today's mass shooting.
Sadly, there are some, uh,ironically amusing.
We will just say ironic there,there are some, there are some
ironies.
(19:33):
He killed 22 people.
All of the dead were eithercivilians who were unarmed or
police who were armed.
And when he finally shothimself, the shooter finally
killed himself.
The police then riddled his deadbody with bullets if that this,
this is controversial, but thepolice then.
(19:56):
Well, we will talk about thatagain in the, in the feature
following which Justin Trudeauthen banned 1,500 different
kinds of guns.
Now this is because, and thisshould give you pause.
This is because in in Canada andunelected dictator can take away
(20:17):
any of your rights whenever hepleases.
Alright, now, this was your gunrights.
But he can do that to any ofyour rights.
Unelected dictator, JustinTrudeau.
Now, put aside your mistakenbelief that guns are not a
right, that the ability to armyourself is not a right.
Put that aside and takesomething that is your right and
(20:40):
answer the question what's tostop Justin Trudeau or uh, Mark
Carney from taking away any ofyour rights just by decree
whenever he wants.
It could get worse and itprobably will.
Uh, a couple years ago, I didn'twrite down the year a man
murdered.
A woman bashed, well bludgeonedher, we'll say with a dumbbell,
(21:03):
and he was charged with seconddegree murder, rightly so.
Well, probably should have beenfirst degree.
Meanwhile, the same year,another man was attacked in his
home by Five Armed homeinvaders.
Five armed men attacked him.
He managed to shoot one of'em.
The man died.
He, like the dumbbell killer,was charged with second degree
(21:26):
murder.
Man in his house being attackedby five men, he and his mother
being attacked by five armedmen.
I, so with those laws, those arereactions to crime, I think.
Are they more American orEuropean?
Well, in some aspects areEuropean, but in many other
aspects they're more American.
(21:48):
Just look at the houses theylive in.
Look at the houses they live in,in the cars they drive.
Are they living in itty bittyhouses or are they living in
great big houses with big yardsand central air and storm
windows, two stall garage?
They're just, they're just, theyhave this big, wasteful
lifestyle, just like theAmericans do.
(22:08):
What about the cars they drive?
Is everybody in Canada drivingthis tiny car with a four
cylinder turbo diesel in it?
No.
They drive cars just like us.
And the, and the irony on crime.
Here's what I wonder If Canada'sso peaceful, why do their police
(22:29):
and their police cars look justlike ours?
Police are driving around in bigSUVs, big, uh, Tahoes, and
they're walking around with, uh,the, you know, the same police
hat and body armor carrying a,carrying a nine millimeter.
Why is that?
Why do their police look justlike ours?
(22:49):
Australia's like that too.
Now.
We love Canada, but we've hadsome rough patches with them.
In the war of 1812, they tookthe English side.
They conducted a sneak attack onMackinaw Island.
Then they invaded Lower Michiganas well.
You know, for some reason, forsome reason, the Canadian flag
(23:13):
is allowed to fly here now, 150years ago, we invaded the
southern states when theydeclared their independence, we
invaded them yet.
Yeah, they're not allowed to flythat flag.
Their army battle flag that theyhad back then on American soil,
because they took up armsagainst the us.
(23:34):
That's the phrase they use.
Well, they were being invaded sowell.
Canada invaded us.
Yet that flag is allowed to fly.
Of course, it's a different flagnow.
That flag is allowed to fly.
Let's talk about something youthink you've heard about the
booing, the national anthem, thebooing at the hockey games.
Yeah.
I don't mean the nationalanthem.
(23:54):
What I mean is the school busfull of middle schoolers that
were going to a youth hockeygame in Niagara Falls.
Back in 2003, they were mobbedand booed and trash thrown at
their school bus becauseCanadians didn't agree with our
government's actions in, uh,Iraq.
And, uh, if I got that wrong anda shameless plug for comments, I
(24:20):
actually couldn't find areference on this.
And I think it's because theywanted me to pay a subscription
to the Buffalo newspaper.
But uh, that did happen.
So somebody either straightenedme out or confirmed this.
But yeah, the nice, politeCanadians attacked a bunch of
school boys, innocent schoolboys, going to a hockey game in
2003.
(24:42):
So they make a good show ofbeing peaceful, but they're
really not.
No more so than any, other thanany than any other population
back in World War ii, theDemocrats governing the United
States, and especially the stateof California, they interned all
(25:03):
the Japanese Americans, at leastany of who, uh, any who refuse
to leave the exclusion zones onalong the, along the West coast.
And, um, we, we questioned thewisdom of that idea some today,
but you have to admit, this wasafter the Japanese had attacked
(25:25):
Pearl Harbor.
They had, uh, shelled LosAngeles and they had invaded.
They put troops ashore in Alaskaand in the Philippines.
So as a precaution as due tofear of a Japanese invasion
based on that attack JapaneseAmericans were in interned if
(25:45):
they did not leave the exclusionzone.
So Canada did the same thingwith their Japanese Americans
because, uh, no reason.
Huh?
Canada wasn't invaded.
They weren't at Pearl Harbor.
They didn't have any possessionsoverseas, but they're just some
racist sobs.
(26:06):
I guess.
They just had a reason to, theyjust wanted some excuse to put
these poor Japanese Canadiansinto internment camps.
So they did either that or theyjust automatically do everything
the United States does becausethey're just the United States
little brother.
Similarly, when you talk aboutracism.
And people will say that j, thatCanada's less racist than the
(26:28):
United States because, uh, thefreed slaves went there.
Well, yes, but it was legal.
It was the Underground Railroadgoing through places like Ohio
and Michigan that UndergroundRailroad people were risking
their, uh, people in the Americawere breaking the law.
(26:48):
Once they got into Canada.
People sheltering the escapedslaves were not breaking any
laws, and they did notnecessarily welcome them either.
But still, at least that partwasn't, uh, they weren't racist
as a government, but then goingforward to World War ii.
Now during World War II in theUnited States, there was nothing
(27:10):
stopping us from training blackAmericans to be fighter pilot
pilots.
There was nothing stopping us.
There's no legal constraints.
And so in America, we formed theTuskegee Airmen.
We trained men to fly fightersand bombers.
Now, in Canada, on the otherhand.
Canada just copied English lawand then therefore, in Canada,
(27:34):
teaching a black man to fly wasillegal.
So that's why the stories aboutCanadians in World War II is how
they were only limited to jobsoutside of fighting, and that
was by law.
And there were no CanadianTuskegee airmen.
And we can go on about themistreatment of the Indians and
(27:55):
the Eskimos.
We can talk about the murderrate in Saskatchewan, which is
very, very high.
We can talk about how themedical care, in some cases, is
cheap.
Now, they don't pay for drugs,they don't pay for ambulances or
dental or, or uh, child, uh, orbirth control.
(28:15):
Um, but what you do get ischeap.
Uh, but on the other hand, youget what you pay for.
And we can talk about how theyeat horse meat and how they hunt
seals, and we can talk about howtheir markets are very
protected, just like in Europe,and that's why their GDP per
capita is so low, you know, withall the people we have on
(28:39):
welfare in the United States,you'd think ours would be low.
Canada's is only, is less thantwo thirds.
Canada has less than two thirdsof GDP per capita as the United
States does.
Canada has so many traderegulations.
You, there are craft beers youcan buy that are made and
produced in, in Ontario.
You can buy'em here, you gottabuy'em here in Washington, dc
(29:01):
but you can't get'em there in,in British Columbia.
That's because of all theirregulations when Trump offered
them to become part of America.
One of the things that came out,again, just listen to the CB.
C.
But, uh, they have a$250 billionper year.
No, it's Canada dollar, so nogreat shakes.
Right?
Uh, all kidding aside,$250billion drain on their economy
(29:26):
just due to all the overregulations they have between
provinces, where like in the ustariffs between provinces are
illegal.
So they get around that by justdoing, creating a lot of
regulations, and they learn thatfrom the Europeans.
And we can talk about how theimmigrant students at American
(29:47):
Ivy League schools are such aproblem.
But it's a problem Canadadoesn't have because Canada has
special degree mills for theirimmigrant students.
But we don't need to pile onbecause fact is that Canada is a
great country.
You could do this kind ofassassination to any country and
(30:11):
we're just a little tired ofhaving always being done to us
so that we are not American.
Crap gets kind of old sometimes,but still we've got the greatest
respect for Canada.
They are still one of ourgreatest allies.
And speaking of World War ii,people don't know this about
Canada, how much, how much ofthe fighting they did, they, in
(30:33):
fact, uh, this is just off thecuff.
Most of the convoy escorts thattook those convoys to England
were, were Canadian built ships,and many of them Canadian crude.
One of the greatest flying ACEsof World War II was a Canadian,
uh, bus.
Burling bus.
Bus buzz Burling.
(30:55):
And of course, we could not haveclosed out World War II by
Obliterating Hiroshima andNagasaki if it weren't for all
the help we had from Canadianscientists who worked on the
Manhattan Project.
Or without the uranium ore andespecially the processing of
that ore that was done byCanada.
(31:18):
So thanks for helping to dropthe first, the only nuclear
weapons ever used in history andalso Americans.
We, Americans are not gettingfat as fast as we used to.
Thanks to the Canadians havingtaken rape seed oil.
Which was poisonous and makingit much less poisonous, but
(31:40):
still poisonous and selling itto us as Canadian oil, also
known as canola.
Speaking of oil, I thought I wasgonna quit, but I guess I'm
going on.
Speaking of oil, you know,Canada is only 12th in carbon
emissions, so good job on notcontributing to global warming.
(32:01):
But do you really count thatwhen Canada is the second
greatest oil exporter?
Canada is the Saudi Arabia ofthe Western Hemisphere, and
that's all thanks to that dirtyCanadian crude, which crosses
the US through those pipelinesthat we built for them across
sacred Indian land.
(32:22):
I hope the irony and the sarcasmis coming through.
'cause again, we could do thisto anybody.
We're just picking on Canada.
And so go out and tell yourfriends, especially your
Canadian friends about the 10thMan Podcast next time you meet
them for some poutine across theborder.
(32:44):
Thank you for listening.
America is a bully.
America is an unreliable allyand the great Satan.
There's an oldie, in fact.
It's the worst country in theworld except for all the others,
especially Canada.
Today on the 10th, man, aspromised, it's time to roast one
(00:35):
of our allies and we're gonnachoose Canada.
Canada has been misbehavinglately and needs to be punished
because they're supposed to dowhatever America says.
We love Canada.
They're our little brother, butsometimes they act unruly.
They want to be, uh, Europe'slittle bitch instead of our
little brother, and we can'thave that now.
(00:59):
They're basically America'sattic up there above us, most of
the time forgotten.
And, uh, not that we put ourtrash up there, it's actually
the other way around.
Canada imports their trash tothe US to go to the dump.
But putting that aside.
Let's look at some of the, uh,things that we could say about
Canada that you could say the,the whole point being that you
(01:21):
can criticize any country and doit unfairly.
And America's often put underthe microscope, so we just wanna
demonstrate how, with a littlebit of familiarity with our
neighbors, we can do the samekind of roasting of them that
they, that they, that they oftendo of us, they always do of us.
So Canada.
(01:42):
As you know, it's just likeAmerica, except it's a lot nicer
and it's the, it's big.
It's the second largest countryin the world by land area, and
they're strong and independentand they have the RCMP, the
Mounties, and people get upabout, go about by dog sled or,
or, or snowmobile.
If they're more modern and theyharvest maple syrup and they eat
(02:06):
poutine.
So nowadays our two governmentsare in are in conflict.
So let's just take a look attheir government, actually, the
Canadian government is veryhaphazard.
They don't really have a writtenconstitution.
They say they do.
They think they do, but theirconstitution is actually a
(02:27):
collection of documents thatthey have agreed to call their
constitution, and then a lot ofjust unwritten customs that they
all follow.
Well, every country tends to dothis to some degree, as we will
learn when we start looking atthe Constitution.
But in Canada it's especiallyhaphazard and risky because none
(02:48):
of their rights are reallywritten down.
They don't really have rights.
They subscribe to the UnitedNations, the so-called Rights of
man, which says, everybodyshould be happy and you should
give your neighbor.
Social security and medical careand things like that, but
there's nobody that, there'snothing in that that implies
that people have any duties, norany reason or, or any means for
(03:12):
you to maintain your rights suchas a right to defend yourself.
They don't have any of that, andwe'll see how that's dangerous.
They Congress or theirlegislature speaking generally,
they have two houses that soundsfamiliar.
They have an upper and lower.
And of course, Canada'sgovernment is modeled after
England's, which is their firstmistake.
(03:36):
But the House of Commons isreally the only house they have
because the, uh, the Senate, theSenate just rubber stamps
everything the House of Commonsdoes and the Senate, they're not
even elected.
All the senators are appointedby the Governor General.
So you don't really effectivelyhave two houses.
So how does that sound so far?
(03:59):
their head of government is aprime minister.
It used to be, uh, JustinTrudeau.
But he's gone now.
He's gone.
And how was he elected?
No one really knows.
Well, they know how he iselected, but it's not written
down.
There's no defined method ofselecting the Prime Minister of
(04:20):
Canada.
I find it especially amusingwhen people criticize our
election of our president as notbeing a direct popular vote.
Here's how it goes in, uh,Canada.
In Canada, you vote for a memberof parliament and whichever
political party has the mostmembers, then those guys select
a prime minister.
So as you know, they just have anew.
(04:40):
Prime Minister having beenselected.
Mr.
Kearney, do you know how manyvotes he got outta the
population of Canada?
How many people in Canada votedfor Mark Carney 132,000
population of 40 million people.
132,000 people picked the PrimeMinister of Canada.
So when people tell you no othercountry in the world has the
(05:05):
electoral college that we have,that's stupid.
This is what they're comparingit to.
This is what they're comparingit to.
Yes.
No one else has the electricalcollege, or very few have the
electrical college that we have.
They have something like this.
Oh, and then, then don't forgetthat monarch thing.
So the.
(05:25):
Party decides who will be theprime minister and makes that
suggestion to the king, and thenif the king approves it, then he
becomes the prime minister.
So this is why all theproclamations about objecting to
unelected billionaires arereally hollow complaints.
Now here's everybody's favoritefun fact about Canada.
(05:48):
It's that it's huge.
There are a few huge countriesin the world and we often joke
about the Europeans, and I thinkthe Europeans get tired of it,
of saying, oh, you don't realizehow far it is from one state to
the other.
And Canada's one of those.
In fact, Canada's the, uh,fourth largest country in the
world by land area.
And uh, yes, you heard thatright?
(06:09):
I find it very amusing.
When they say they're the secondlargest, I actually heard.
Um, and, uh, I guess we'll talka little bit about why people
might know a lot about Canada.
I'm go back to my youth, my teenyears back before, um, back
before people had FM radio intheir cars and a little known
(06:31):
fact, it used to be FM washorizontally polarized, so you
could pick it up pretty wellwith your TV antenna with those
sideways.
Elements, but your car antennadidn't until the seventies.
Uh, that's when all the rockstations started switching to uh
fm.
But before that, back in thesixties and sixties and
(06:51):
seventies, we listened to AMradio.
So over on the, uh, west coastof Michigan where I grew up, the
AM radio waves would travelacross the water.
We would listen to, uh, thestations in Chicago, WLS and
WCFL, and uh, uh, DJs, artRoberts, Larry Lujack, uh, JJ
(07:11):
Jeffrey, and that was the westside of the state.
So over on the east side.
So over in southeast Michigan,they would listen to.
CKLW and that would be the rockstation, the M rock station out
of Windsor, Ontario.
And that's, there were, therewere stations in Detroit too, of
course.
(07:32):
But, uh, now that rock and rollhas gone to fm all those
stations have become, have,become, uh, news talk stations
as WLS has, and CKLW certainlyhas.
So you can turn on the radiohere and listen to CKLW if
you're in southeast Michigan.
It's, uh, 800 on the AM Band,and I recommend you do so.
One of the things you'll hear isthey're, uh, giving you the
(07:54):
temperature in degreesFahrenheit, So you can tune into
CKLW and listen to News Talk,and they'll talk about the
American elections and who theywant to win.
And you'll find just like here.
Uh, just like here, there arepeople interested in Trump
support supporting Trump andpeople opposed to Trump.
And, uh, when we have anelection, they'll have a poll on
there of who you want to win,kind of election interference.
(08:17):
I.
Also you can, uh, if you canmake the drive from Michigan to
Buffalo, you're probably gonnadrive over to the Blue Water
Bridge across that Sarnia anddrive to, uh, Niagara Falls,
Ontario, and over.
And you can listen to AM radiothere.
And you can also do what I do,which is, uh, listen to the,
(08:37):
listen to the CBCA, and, uh, andyou can pick that up on your, on
your, uh.
Spotify, or even on your, yourcable channel, you can watch,
you can watch the CBC news andlearn a lot about Canada that
way, and you'll find that ittruly, they are not that much
different from us, unlike whatthe press here would have you
(08:59):
believe.
But you can also see a lot oftheir warts and we'll talk about
some of them.
So let's talk about this.
Uh.
Second largest country in theworld by land area.
I heard a member of parliamentsay that.
I don't know what they weredebating, but he said, uh, and
as a citizen of Canada, thesecond largest country in the
world by land, era.
Era, and it's like, hold onthere, Pierre.
(09:22):
No you're not.
Canada is the fourth largestcountry in the world by land
area.
It's smaller than Russia.
Of course it's smaller thanChina, it's smaller than the us.
It's number four.
Russia has 6,300,000 squaremiles of area.
China has 3,600,000.
(09:43):
The US has 3,530,000, and Canadahas 3,510,000 square miles of
land area.
It is not much smaller, but itis definitely smaller than the
other two than China and the USand much smaller than Russia.
Now, if they wanna change thatstanding, all they have to do is
(10:06):
join the US like they've beeninvited.
And uh, of course if Albertajoins the us, like some are
talking about, of course it'llput, make the US much bigger
than China or Canada.
And these numbers are importantfor actually for another reason.
'cause if you look at it, China,the US, and Canada are all
virtually the same size andCanadians.
(10:28):
If you want to tell everybodythat you're the second biggest
country in the world by totalarea because you happen to have
a long coast line and uh, allthat water also counts, fine, go
ahead and do that, but it's notgonna change this fact.
Here's the big differencebetween Canada's land area and
the, and the, and the us.
(10:48):
China and Russia.
Canada has a lot of dirt, butyou can't grow crops on any of
it.
And, uh, Australia, when we cometo you, don't laugh'cause you're
in the same boat.
So if you ever want to be likethe US in Canada, uh, you never
will be.
Canada only has one third, theamount of farmland of other
(11:10):
countries like China, India,Russia, and the US Canada's just
ahead of Nigeria and Ukraine interms of land, crop land where
you can grow any food and othercountries are not even on the
same scale as, uh, the US andIndia.
Canada has something called theCanada Shield.
(11:34):
It's a, it's a giant rockformation that comes up to the
top and there's no top soil onit, and it covers half of
Canada.
So not only are you not thebiggest, but what you do have is
not valuable land.
Now One of the funniest thingsabout Canada is how they're
trying so hard to be Europe's alittle tag along.
You ought to take a look at theglobe, see which side of it
(11:55):
you're on, and they're obviouslyAmerica's little tag along and
they ought to just embrace that.
In fact, Trump offered themAmerican citizenship, which the
people arguing for immigrantrights say is the greatest prize
in the world.
But Canadians, they wereinsulted.
(12:17):
Uh, well that really wasn't verypolite.
If you don't want to be anAmerican citizen, just politely
decline.
You don't have to be insultingabout it, but they truly are.
America's tag along, notEurope's.
Just go into Home Depot, firstof all, realize that in Canada
they have Home Depots going inHome Depot.
You're gonna find'em sellingnails in one pound boxes.
(12:40):
Turn on your television, you canwatch this show.
In America, there's a showcalled Decks and Docks.
Well, the show's in Ontario, andthey'll drive up to a house, get
out their tape measures, andthey say, yeah, we're gonna add
out, we're gonna put a deckhere, uh, 16 by 20.
And then they'll go get a loadload of plywood, same way as we
do in a bunch of two by fours.
Uh, none of that's metric.
(13:01):
Uh, go on to, uh, go on toZillow.
You can find homes for sale onZillow and find'em in, uh, over,
in, you know, Windsor orBrampton or London, anywhere.
And those are all Ontario citiesthat I happen to know the names
of.
Go on Zillow and you can findall the houses are advertised in
square feet.
And all the loss are advertisingacres.
(13:23):
Well, if they got an acre rightand they're all sold in dollars,
how come it's dollars notpounds?
Well, it's Canadian dollars.
Well, sure, but why isn't itCanadian pounds?
So I.
They, uh, they, they're reallybig on saying they switched to
the metric system.
But if you go into theirschools, the kids are still
drawing lines with a foot ruler.
It's also marked out to 30centimeters.
(13:45):
Big deal.
It's still a foot ruler.
And when they changed the metricsystem, what they did is they
went and took all the signs andchanged them.
So all the highway signs saykilometers per hour, and
everybody knows that.
Uh, a hundred is the same as 60,basically, uh, 62.
And, uh.
So now all the Indians up in, upinto the Yukon Northwest
(14:10):
Territories.
Yeah.
I know you want me to call it,none of it, but I will have none
of it.
And you're still gonna say,well, how far is it, how far it
is to a yellow knife or medicinehat?
Well, it's uh, it's a four hourdrive from here.
What's that?
In kilometers?
Well, who cares?
It depends on the traffic.
It it's, well, the traffic, thedistance does depend on the
(14:31):
traffic, but you know what I'msaying.
Okay, so I was at, uh, I was atRed Rock Canyon and, uh, I heard
somebody making a joke talkingabout, talking about the metric
system, and they were talkingabout the temperature.
'cause the, the guides had toldus the te the temperature.
And it turns out these peopleare Canadians, typical Canadian
tourists coming down here andbeing impolite about it.
(14:52):
And they're, they made a commentabout us being the only ones
that weren't on the metricsystem.
And I said, well, what'd youmean by that?
And then they, they went, uhoh.
Oh.
They said, oh no, we've got aProud American here.
It's like, what?
No, I just wanna know whatyou're talking about.
And, and she said, well, we werejust, we were just talking about
how you're the only one, onlyones on the metric system.
(15:12):
I said, so, oh yeah.
So what are you, you're aboutfive two, aren't you?
And she says, yeah.
I said, well, what is that indeca deca meters?
What is that in meters?
Well, they give their height,they give their height in, uh,
feet in inches.
In Canada, they give theirweight in pounds.
And you go to the deli if somestuff is in grams and some stuff
(15:35):
is in, uh, pounds, and you, youbuy beer, it's in a 12 ounce,
can they call it 320milliliters?
But how is that metric?
And you asked them why and theysaid, well, we just do that
because we're close to you andit's easier.
Well, that's the exact samereason we do it.
Okay.
We just do whatever's easier,but everybody else makes an
(15:57):
issue of somehow they're moreintelligent than we are.
I guess.
Uh, we won't be seeing as manytourists out at Red Rock Canyon
from Canada because they'resupposedly not coming here.
Well, what's that gonna do toour tourist income?
Well, it'll have a limitedeffect because, uh, for, for one
thing, the Canadians, they don'ttip.
(16:19):
I think a lot of tourists comehere and they say, well, this is
nice.
Everything's so cheap.
Everything's all the food's.
Very low price in the, in therestaurants.
Well, yeah, it's cheap becauseyou didn't, you didn't tip the
staff.
You cheap skates.
The uh, yeah.
All the people in Florida, allthese service people in Florida,
they're not that upset aboutCanadians not coming down
because they don't tip.
(16:42):
Canadians like to say that theircrime rate is lower than the US.
And, you know, uh, that'squestionable.
But why don't, why do they saythe us why is the US the
standard for everything?
Why don't they say their crimerate is lower than the uk?
Uh,'cause it's not, it's noteven close.
I, they might try sayingsomething like they don't, might
(17:05):
try making the claim that theyhave the lowest crime in the,
uh, Western Hemisphere becausecrime seems to go up going from,
uh, uh, east to west.
But crime rate also goes upgoing from, uh, south to north,
farther north.
You go the lower crime you go.
I said, I said it wrong, but thecrime goes down going, uh, from
(17:25):
south to north.
I probably said the other onewrong too.
Or the farther you get from thecr, the equator, the less crime
you have.
And Canada's not next to a thirdworld country like the US is.
So they like to, they like to,uh, take advantage of that fact
and, um, they're not getting allthe.
Illegal immigrants because theycome to here for some reason,
(17:47):
they come to here, an openborders concept stops at our
northern border.
And that's not even getting intothe, the fact that we have a
bigger problem of inner citycrime.
We won't, we will talk aboutthat later on, but we don't
wanna make that a racistcomment, just we do have a
different situation, but here'sthe most important thing.
They're not saying.
(18:08):
Yeah, your crime rate might belower in some cases now, but
yours is going the wrongdirection.
Yours is going the wrongdirection.
That's why on, you know, theWorld Happiness Index, Canada
just went down, they went downto 18th place from, I forget
where they were, ninth orsomething like that.
It's'cause their crime is goingdown or crime is going up.
(18:30):
It's getting worse in America.
All crime, all crime statisticsare going down and Canada's
going up.
You go to Canada right now,you're not gonna believe this,
so go look it up yourself.
Property crime is higher inVancouver, British Columbia, and
(18:50):
Toronto, Ontario than it is inNew York City and la All right.
Property crime is higher inthose Canadian cities than it is
in New York or la and.
Canada's not exempt from massmurder.
We are gonna be approaching thisweek, the April 18th anniversary
(19:12):
of the Nova Scotia massshootings, just a few years ago,
2020.
That shooter.
We'll have to feature this onthe today's mass shooting.
Sadly, there are some, uh,ironically amusing.
We will just say ironic there,there are some, there are some
ironies.
(19:33):
He killed 22 people.
All of the dead were eithercivilians who were unarmed or
police who were armed.
And when he finally shothimself, the shooter finally
killed himself.
The police then riddled his deadbody with bullets if that this,
this is controversial, but thepolice then.
(19:56):
Well, we will talk about thatagain in the, in the feature
following which Justin Trudeauthen banned 1,500 different
kinds of guns.
Now this is because, and thisshould give you pause.
This is because in in Canada andunelected dictator can take away
(20:17):
any of your rights whenever hepleases.
Alright, now, this was your gunrights.
But he can do that to any ofyour rights.
Unelected dictator, JustinTrudeau.
Now, put aside your mistakenbelief that guns are not a
right, that the ability to armyourself is not a right.
Put that aside and takesomething that is your right and
(20:40):
answer the question what's tostop Justin Trudeau or uh, Mark
Carney from taking away any ofyour rights just by decree
whenever he wants.
It could get worse and itprobably will.
Uh, a couple years ago, I didn'twrite down the year a man
murdered.
A woman bashed, well bludgeonedher, we'll say with a dumbbell,
(21:03):
and he was charged with seconddegree murder, rightly so.
Well, probably should have beenfirst degree.
Meanwhile, the same year,another man was attacked in his
home by Five Armed homeinvaders.
Five armed men attacked him.
He managed to shoot one of'em.
The man died.
He, like the dumbbell killer,was charged with second degree
(21:26):
murder.
Man in his house being attackedby five men, he and his mother
being attacked by five armedmen.
I, so with those laws, those arereactions to crime, I think.
Are they more American orEuropean?
Well, in some aspects areEuropean, but in many other
aspects they're more American.
(21:48):
Just look at the houses theylive in.
Look at the houses they live in,in the cars they drive.
Are they living in itty bittyhouses or are they living in
great big houses with big yardsand central air and storm
windows, two stall garage?
They're just, they're just, theyhave this big, wasteful
lifestyle, just like theAmericans do.
(22:08):
What about the cars they drive?
Is everybody in Canada drivingthis tiny car with a four
cylinder turbo diesel in it?
No.
They drive cars just like us.
And the, and the irony on crime.
Here's what I wonder If Canada'sso peaceful, why do their police
(22:29):
and their police cars look justlike ours?
Police are driving around in bigSUVs, big, uh, Tahoes, and
they're walking around with, uh,the, you know, the same police
hat and body armor carrying a,carrying a nine millimeter.
Why is that?
Why do their police look justlike ours?
(22:49):
Australia's like that too.
Now.
We love Canada, but we've hadsome rough patches with them.
In the war of 1812, they tookthe English side.
They conducted a sneak attack onMackinaw Island.
Then they invaded Lower Michiganas well.
You know, for some reason, forsome reason, the Canadian flag
(23:13):
is allowed to fly here now, 150years ago, we invaded the
southern states when theydeclared their independence, we
invaded them yet.
Yeah, they're not allowed to flythat flag.
Their army battle flag that theyhad back then on American soil,
because they took up armsagainst the us.
(23:34):
That's the phrase they use.
Well, they were being invaded sowell.
Canada invaded us.
Yet that flag is allowed to fly.
Of course, it's a different flagnow.
That flag is allowed to fly.
Let's talk about something youthink you've heard about the
booing, the national anthem, thebooing at the hockey games.
Yeah.
I don't mean the nationalanthem.
(23:54):
What I mean is the school busfull of middle schoolers that
were going to a youth hockeygame in Niagara Falls.
Back in 2003, they were mobbedand booed and trash thrown at
their school bus becauseCanadians didn't agree with our
government's actions in, uh,Iraq.
And, uh, if I got that wrong anda shameless plug for comments, I
(24:20):
actually couldn't find areference on this.
And I think it's because theywanted me to pay a subscription
to the Buffalo newspaper.
But uh, that did happen.
So somebody either straightenedme out or confirmed this.
But yeah, the nice, politeCanadians attacked a bunch of
school boys, innocent schoolboys, going to a hockey game in
2003.
(24:42):
So they make a good show ofbeing peaceful, but they're
really not.
No more so than any, other thanany than any other population
back in World War ii, theDemocrats governing the United
States, and especially the stateof California, they interned all
(25:03):
the Japanese Americans, at leastany of who, uh, any who refuse
to leave the exclusion zones onalong the, along the West coast.
And, um, we, we questioned thewisdom of that idea some today,
but you have to admit, this wasafter the Japanese had attacked
(25:25):
Pearl Harbor.
They had, uh, shelled LosAngeles and they had invaded.
They put troops ashore in Alaskaand in the Philippines.
So as a precaution as due tofear of a Japanese invasion
based on that attack JapaneseAmericans were in interned if
(25:45):
they did not leave the exclusionzone.
So Canada did the same thingwith their Japanese Americans
because, uh, no reason.
Huh?
Canada wasn't invaded.
They weren't at Pearl Harbor.
They didn't have any possessionsoverseas, but they're just some
racist sobs.
(26:06):
I guess.
They just had a reason to, theyjust wanted some excuse to put
these poor Japanese Canadiansinto internment camps.
So they did either that or theyjust automatically do everything
the United States does becausethey're just the United States
little brother.
Similarly, when you talk aboutracism.
And people will say that j, thatCanada's less racist than the
(26:28):
United States because, uh, thefreed slaves went there.
Well, yes, but it was legal.
It was the Underground Railroadgoing through places like Ohio
and Michigan that UndergroundRailroad people were risking
their, uh, people in the Americawere breaking the law.
(26:48):
Once they got into Canada.
People sheltering the escapedslaves were not breaking any
laws, and they did notnecessarily welcome them either.
But still, at least that partwasn't, uh, they weren't racist
as a government, but then goingforward to World War ii.
Now during World War II in theUnited States, there was nothing
(27:10):
stopping us from training blackAmericans to be fighter pilot
pilots.
There was nothing stopping us.
There's no legal constraints.
And so in America, we formed theTuskegee Airmen.
We trained men to fly fightersand bombers.
Now, in Canada, on the otherhand.
Canada just copied English lawand then therefore, in Canada,
(27:34):
teaching a black man to fly wasillegal.
So that's why the stories aboutCanadians in World War II is how
they were only limited to jobsoutside of fighting, and that
was by law.
And there were no CanadianTuskegee airmen.
And we can go on about themistreatment of the Indians and
(27:55):
the Eskimos.
We can talk about the murderrate in Saskatchewan, which is
very, very high.
We can talk about how themedical care, in some cases, is
cheap.
Now, they don't pay for drugs,they don't pay for ambulances or
dental or, or uh, child, uh, orbirth control.
(28:15):
Um, but what you do get ischeap.
Uh, but on the other hand, youget what you pay for.
And we can talk about how theyeat horse meat and how they hunt
seals, and we can talk about howtheir markets are very
protected, just like in Europe,and that's why their GDP per
capita is so low, you know, withall the people we have on
(28:39):
welfare in the United States,you'd think ours would be low.
Canada's is only, is less thantwo thirds.
Canada has less than two thirdsof GDP per capita as the United
States does.
Canada has so many traderegulations.
You, there are craft beers youcan buy that are made and
produced in, in Ontario.
You can buy'em here, you gottabuy'em here in Washington, dc
(29:01):
but you can't get'em there in,in British Columbia.
That's because of all theirregulations when Trump offered
them to become part of America.
One of the things that came out,again, just listen to the CB.
C.
But, uh, they have a$250 billionper year.
No, it's Canada dollar, so nogreat shakes.
Right?
Uh, all kidding aside,$250billion drain on their economy
(29:26):
just due to all the overregulations they have between
provinces, where like in the ustariffs between provinces are
illegal.
So they get around that by justdoing, creating a lot of
regulations, and they learn thatfrom the Europeans.
And we can talk about how theimmigrant students at American
(29:47):
Ivy League schools are such aproblem.
But it's a problem Canadadoesn't have because Canada has
special degree mills for theirimmigrant students.
But we don't need to pile onbecause fact is that Canada is a
great country.
You could do this kind ofassassination to any country and
(30:11):
we're just a little tired ofhaving always being done to us
so that we are not American.
Crap gets kind of old sometimes,but still we've got the greatest
respect for Canada.
They are still one of ourgreatest allies.
And speaking of World War ii,people don't know this about
Canada, how much, how much ofthe fighting they did, they, in
(30:33):
fact, uh, this is just off thecuff.
Most of the convoy escorts thattook those convoys to England
were, were Canadian built ships,and many of them Canadian crude.
One of the greatest flying ACEsof World War II was a Canadian,
uh, bus.
Burling bus.
Bus buzz Burling.
(30:55):
And of course, we could not haveclosed out World War II by
Obliterating Hiroshima andNagasaki if it weren't for all
the help we had from Canadianscientists who worked on the
Manhattan Project.
Or without the uranium ore andespecially the processing of
that ore that was done byCanada.
(31:18):
So thanks for helping to dropthe first, the only nuclear
weapons ever used in history andalso Americans.
We, Americans are not gettingfat as fast as we used to.
Thanks to the Canadians havingtaken rape seed oil.
Which was poisonous and makingit much less poisonous, but
(31:40):
still poisonous and selling itto us as Canadian oil, also
known as canola.
Speaking of oil, I thought I wasgonna quit, but I guess I'm
going on.
Speaking of oil, you know,Canada is only 12th in carbon
emissions, so good job on notcontributing to global warming.
(32:01):
But do you really count thatwhen Canada is the second
greatest oil exporter?
Canada is the Saudi Arabia ofthe Western Hemisphere, and
that's all thanks to that dirtyCanadian crude, which crosses
the US through those pipelinesthat we built for them across
sacred Indian land.
(32:22):
I hope the irony and the sarcasmis coming through.
'cause again, we could do thisto anybody.
We're just picking on Canada.
And so go out and tell yourfriends, especially your
Canadian friends about the 10thMan Podcast next time you meet
them for some poutine across theborder.
(32:44):
Thank you for listening.
