YES WE CANADA The Progressives Guide to Getting the Fuck Out - Season Three

The Canadian Military is in the midst of a  full blown sexual  misconduct crisis.  It has been going on for years. Now, you might think “crisis” is a little journalistic hyperbole, a little “click bait” to keep y’all listening?  Oh, no, check this out… in 2016 and 2017, seven former members of the CAF brought a class action lawsuit against the Government of Canada alleging sexual misconduct, sexual assault, discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and the list goes on… and on. 

You know how many CAF members signed on to the class action suit?  19, 000!  Nineteen thousand, not a typo, nineteen thousand. The government has agreed to a 900 million dollar settlement and has already paid out 2379 claims. 

On today's pod we look at the his-story and you'll be introduced to the two women who have said; that's it, that's all...

You will laugh and then you will cry.

With contributions from Mio Adilman, Lisa Evans, Lyne Tremblay,   Chris Leon and Doug Wilde.

Deplorables… you have now become …delusionals.  When you had a tough time selling the triumvirate attack of Antifa / Black Lives Matter / FBI on the Capitol, you pivoted to your “normal tourist visit” narrative which also turned out to be troublesome because of the avalanche of video showing your  Trump clad " tourists" beating cops like blood thirsty barbarians. So, you pivoted yet again and started calling your insurrection ; “legitimate political discourse”. 

 Discourse?  Of course.

Americans, my dear exceptionalist friends, we know how to attack our government buildings up here in Canada too.  You're not so special.

Americans!  Hello, Bonjour, welcome to season two. 

Let’s get you up to date. When we last spoke, in May of 2021, Trump supporters were claiming that the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol was actually executed by the FBI in a joint venture with Black Lives Matter and Antifa who were false flagging the riot by masquerading in Trump merch.  Wow a lot of BS to unpack there, no? And that’s not all…

 A lot has happened in America since our last episode in Season 1… the Corona Virus raged, gun violence was out of control, Afghanistan was overrun by the Taliban who rebranded and now claimed they were “like kinda cool with chicks having equal rights, as long as they don’t like work outside the home, go to school or play sports”. And US president Joe… Manchin wasn’t getting anything done for the progressives. 

 Your Republicans have been hard at work desperately trying to fix a voter fraud problem that doesn’t exist and won’t go away. And gerrymandering and legislation that restricts voters rights has replaced rodent huntin’ as the new redneck pastime. It seems hard to believe if you live in the fact-based world, but Trump supporters are still claiming that all those white people who stormed the capitol were either Patriots engaging in “legitimate political discourse” or drug ravaged Antifi members. 

 So, yep, you’re still moving North…hello, bonjour, welcome to Canada. You’re going to trade your so-called democracy for a social democracy. 

 Keep on truckin’ eh?

The British Columbians are masters at running “pirate economies”. Centuries before the current BC Bud enterprise was launched, the fur trade was a huge part of the BC economy when the Europeans arrived in the home of the First Nations with lots of arrogant ambition and a buffet of epidemics. That was followed by a few slightly sleazy gold rushes and then some pretty dedicated exploitation of the Japanese, Chinese and other Asians. During prohibition in the U.S., B.C. became the liquor hub for the west coast of the U.S.  We’ve been keeping you guys stoned and drunk for decades.  

 You’ re welcome.

In Canada we have ten “provinces”.  Think about the difference between States and Provinces.  If you are “stately” it means you are elegant, distinguished, imperial even.  If you are “provincial”, you are local, unsophisticated, as y’all say in the States, “a goddamn hick”. That does not apply in Canada. In our country, provinces have much more autonomy than states do in the US. Health care, education, taxes, marriage, property and most civil rights are all the domain of the provinces not the federal government.The feds give money to the provinces to provide these services, but the provinces control the rest. 

Please permit us to introduce you to our biggest province, Ontario, the Centre of the Universe. Ontario's premier is an 800 lb. Gorilla!
