Meeting Cody Through PodMatch

SPEAKER_01 0:08

Hello, welcome to another episode of Pristitutionalist Podcast. I am your host, Joseph M. Leonard. That's L-E-N-A-R-D. It looks French. It's not, it's Leonard without an O. Thank you for tuning in. As Graham Norton used to say on his show. Let's get on with the show! Special segment for February and March. Midweek drops. Normally Saturday monologues and normally a guest appearance on a Wednesday, February and March, two a week, Tuesday and Thursdays, in order to get caught up on some interviews that have been stacking up. Enjoy. Joining me today will be Cody Johnston. Not Johnson, Johnston. But before we get to Cody, I want to do a little brief monologue. I make no secret that Christ Titutionalist Podcast uses a service called PodMatch, which is where we met. You can go to check it out at tinyurl.com join podmatch. You don't have to join right there. You can just check it out, tinyurl.com slash join podmatch. And I saw his profile and it said The Weird Canadian. As I told him our online communication before 9-11 and cross-border travel for personal reasons got all messed up, obviously. I used to vacation up near O'Lelia, R.I.P. Native Son Gordon Lightfoot. To vacation on Sparrow Lake up there all the time. So to discuss all things Kanucostanian land, welcome to the show, Cody Johnston.

SPEAKER_00 2:19

Thank you very much for having me. And yes, I am the Weird Canadian. I thankfully coined that. That is my online persona. I have it everywhere. So if you ever want to search me up, The Weird Canadian, you'll find me everywhere. Okay. I got very lucky. Um, but yeah, I define myself as that too. So feel free to uh throw in as many questions as you uh you'd like, and we can get weird with it.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

First, let's do the Christian show, so pun intended, proverbial first obvious question. Where were you born and raised? Where are you now? Significant places you've been in between. How much time have you spent in prison for what? For the record, for the transcript, he's laughing. It's a joke, people. It's a joke. Let's lighten up.

Growing Up Rural Without Internet

SPEAKER_00 3:09

And for the record, for the record, I think I've only ever been uh cite like gone to citation for drinking in public, and that's because I got pushed off a lawn. And that's a whole story. Um, but yeah, uh, I um I'm Cody Johnston. I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. Um, I spent the majority of my 30s city uh around so Oshawa till I was 16, and then uh Port Hope, which is that what I deem my home, my hometown. Um so my parents own a uh four acres in the middle of the Ganaraska Forest. We grew up in like middle of nowhere. I got to learn to drive, I got to go to school and had a good time out there. Um also had no internet for four years. So I got to um I got lucky. I had the that four years where social media was starting to get big. I I never got on that. So I never really understood social media um until lately, actually, as I started doing my class.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

That's good. I'm glad that that spared you a lot of heartache in a way, right? All that online bullying nonsense.

College And Government Tech Work

SPEAKER_00 4:18

Yeah. That it did end up uh affecting me in college, uh, but it does what that like I learned about it, I learned from it, and now I'm a better man for it. But the so I've moved from Kingston, uh I went to Kingston for uh college, uh computer networking and technical support. Then I went down to Niagara for uh computer programming, where I ended up working uh getting a co-op job with the Ministry of Transportation, building uh applications for the general public, and learning how our government doesn't work. Sorry, sorry.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

Yeah, I'll tell ours doesn't either, but yeah, I'm sorry to say, yeah, in many respects, yours is somewhat better in some plays and somewhat worse in other ways.

SPEAKER_00 5:09

Fun fun fact for your crowd 40 percent of the Canadian population is employed in some way, shape, or form by a government entity.

SPEAKER_01 5:18

Non-productive side of mostly. I mean, obviously there's now we have to explain to some, like spe especially in our southern states, some of those are you have beer wine liquor stores. It is so harshly regulated that you have government-run, owned, and operated beer, wine, liquor to really be able to ensure crackdown, uh, although your drinking age is 18, or did it go to 19?

SPEAKER_00 5:52

No, it's still 18.

SPEAKER_01 5:54

18, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:55

Fun fact two-thirds of the price of our alcohol is taxed.

SPEAKER_01 5:59

Yeah, yeah. Well, again, you want less of something you tax, and it's a punishment, right? You the idea is to tamp down demand to a degree. So I complain about taxes all the time, but that's sin taxes or tax on cigarettes, things like that. You've got to have some tax to run a society.

SPEAKER_00 6:23

What I don't know to be, right? My issue is when the tax is three times the product. That's yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:32

It is a tad outrageous. But yeah, you've got the government-run stores to really control that. And I say, you know, if we're gonna legalize pot here, that perhaps maybe we might want to do that. But yeah, there's that downside. More government employees, and they feel like they're elitist above everyone else. You can't fire them when they stand around doing nothing, which is why there are so many of them. It's like construction. Even here in the U.S., you go buy a construction crew, you see two people working, ten standing around.

Canada Taxes Alcohol And Regulation

SPEAKER_00 7:13

And uh I I started calling it luxury welfare. Um, you go you go get paid to be there, but not to actually do any work. And the few people who actually do the work, so this is one of the reasons I left, was because I was one of the people trying to make a difference, trying to do the work, and you're rewarded with more work. And it's just somebody else's work because they don't want to do it.

SPEAKER_01 7:35

We could talk for hours just on whining about our governments alone, but not do that.

SPEAKER_00 7:43

But from yeah, so let's go, let's go on to the rest of my path.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

So I uh why why weird Canadian? What's the genesis? Christian Chopin intended again, the genesis of this weird label.

SPEAKER_00 7:58

Uh so I always felt like a different person, like different from my peers growing up. Like I always felt like I I had the rich like history of of Canada. Like I've always been proud of our history, how we got to become a nation, how we're always like we always band together during the hard times. But as a Canadian, I always felt like I didn't fit in. Um and it was because I spent most of my life on the internet. Like I actually, the aside from those four years, I had internet since I was 10 years old, and I've been on it since then. Um so it's literally like I got ripped out of my environment, and I just I'm more world-traveled through the internet. I uh I I listen to more music on the other side of the world.

SPEAKER_01 8:44

Yeah, there's the good, the bad and former IT. So good, bad, ugly. Same with AI. There's good, there's bad, there's really ugly.

SPEAKER_00 8:54

Yeah. Um, yeah, so I got really detached from like Canadian. And I was I was always called the weird kid. I was always called the yeah. So I'm just like at the end of the day.

SPEAKER_01 9:04

Yeah, I mean record, those looking uh behind the scenes can see, but those on the 25 plus audio platforms are reading in the transcript. The kid looks weird. That's a joke, people. Roll, roll out, that's a joke, people. I'm wearing the shirt says beware the cobra chicken. Okay, which is our our uh yeah, the Canadian goose on there, yeah. It says Wanligan, beware the cobra chicken, right? Yeah, the Canadian geese, yeah. Oh, we hate those. Oh, here in Michigan. Keep them, would you please keep them? Yes, those oh, ordery little SOBs.

SPEAKER_00 9:50

Yeah, so we call them cobra chickens up here because yeah, they're just annoying and they just want to attack you all the time. Uh, but yeah, it's just like uh I I've just always been this person. And fun fact, now I'm out um in the middle of nowhere, so I live on the rock, uh little known uh island called Newfoundland in uh Canada, uh little town called Lewisport, and I'm actually the tourist coordinator now. So I'm actually building up a tourist uh destination here.

SPEAKER_01 10:17

Private position, though?

SPEAKER_00 10:19

Uh or public position? Non public, non yeah, public nonprofit.

SPEAKER_01 10:24

Okay, okay. So I yeah, I would call that product. So it's a nonprofit we would say 501c uh nonprofit organization, although I would imagine gifts are not tax deductible in Canada for such an endeavor, right?

Why He Calls Himself Weird

SPEAKER_00 10:44

Yes. Uh so yeah, I'm just working uh building up their their infrastru or their uh tourist infrastructure here, promoting them.

SPEAKER_01 10:52

Um I'd love to come visit, but again, getting over the border still is a major pain in the butt. So I don't go over there anymore, unfortunately. And I miss a lot of friends I don't get to see anymore. But anyway, sorry, interrupted. No, no worries.

SPEAKER_00 11:08

I just I fell in love with the town, the community. Uh like we have the largest marina in the North Atlantic, uh, biggest hunting and fishing store on the island. It's just and the people are just so welcoming. Uh, I felt at home. Uh and now I just do everything I can to to bring people here, showcase it, and on the on top of doing my podcast, uh running a 3D printing company and everything else I do.

Newfoundland Life And Tourism Work

SPEAKER_01 12:34

You know, I I I'm sure you probably don't get it there, but you might be able to stream it. It's on Fox Television Network here in the state. A new series called Best Medicine takes place out of Maine in a town called Port Wen. I'm I'm kind of picturing your place like that place. Have have you heard of the series? Have you seen it?

SPEAKER_00 13:02

So I I've started watching it, but we're a little bit bigger in population. We're we're about uh 3,500 people, but there are plenty of uh plenty of places here that have less than 100 people, and they're yeah, it's just a town full of people working together, uh supporting each other, just getting by in their daily lives. It's it's a beautiful thing to see.

Small Town Community And Belonging

Bullying Online Versus Physical Harm

SPEAKER_01 13:23

Now let's go back to the internet thing. You we kind of touched on bullying a little. In my books, especially I'm grabbing, I'm grabbing uh the book of Kennedy, Project Carpe Diem, uh my whole life and living series of books. Bullying is unfortunate, it's never gonna go away though, and really it's life conditioning, it helps make us better people, as I say in Book of Kennedy. You don't want to be like that, as I coin them, mass holes, right, that are always miserable and angry and and whatnot. It helps actually build better character in people. So it's a rite of passage, it's almost a necessity of life. Your thoughts?

SPEAKER_00 14:19

Uh no, I've actually started contemplating that uh recently, especially when it comes to um online bullying. Uh, because I had that gap of of not using the internet, I think I have a really interesting perspective in terms of nobody can hurt you online. Like, I'm sorry, that's not bullying to me.

SPEAKER_01 14:38

Not really, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:39

I've I've had a swirly, I've been beaten to a pulp, I've been choked on multiple occasions. I like I I've come home and had to change schools because it's been so bad.

SPEAKER_01 14:49

Physical and mental bullying, yes, just like abuse, physical and mental abuse, and mental abuse can be as bad as physical. Because physical, like a bruise will heal, the mental scar can remain a long time. I'm not trying to mess with it.

SPEAKER_00 15:06

No, it but I'm trying to put it into perspective of like um the mental harm you can fix. Right? The physical harm is something well, yeah. You can you can because it's something about yourself, you're fig finding it harmful, therefore it's something about you that you need to figure out. Now when I want to break into Disney, let it go, let it go, right? When it's coming from somebody else, you don't have a choice, like it's not up to you except to find back. Yes. Exactly. So uh and I'm really I'm really starting to understand that distinction, and I'm really starting to get that that sense of we we've lost that line, that delineation of one's worse than the other, and we really need to make that prominent.

Anime Cosplay And Becoming Himself

SPEAKER_01 15:54

Yeah, I I'm glad we uh I I never script these shows and never know what rabbit holes will open. We go down the so I'm gonna refer people back into my constitutionalist podcast catalog. Please look up the bullseye, the clown episode. Bullseye name because he was the target of bullying, he became a clown out of that and indeed goes around talking about bullying. So that episode is very worth listening to. No worries.

SPEAKER_00 16:32

Like I can go a little bit more into like the bullying side. So like I was a really different kid. Like I like to to cosplay, like I like to I was anime, 90s anime kid.

SPEAKER_01 16:42

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:43

Finding DVDs.

SPEAKER_01 16:45

Anime, not Pokemon. The two are different.

SPEAKER_00 16:47

Yes. I I was heavily into the to the actual Japanese animation, like to the point where I've I'm now over like a thousand series watched in my lifetime. Um like it's it's oh I've actually calculated it out. It's worth six months of actual life that I've spent watching anime.

SPEAKER_01 17:06

Well, and you said in your lifetime, so how old are you?

SPEAKER_00 17:11

34 years old.

SPEAKER_01 17:12

Oh, okay. See, now you look younger. I would have only guessed you in your 20s. So looks can be deceiving, right? That's why Martin Luther King Jr., you have to engage and understand the content of one's character, not how they look, not the group the left loves to put people in boxes over. Anyway, go on.

SPEAKER_00 17:40

Yeah, so like I was I was very imaginative, always in my own head, always like trying to play out what I wanted to do. Um, as I got bullied, that kind of became an inward self. And and fun fact, like I used to dance, like I loved to dance as a kid. I was called crazy legs, and I didn't realize it was it was actually somebody like yelling, oh, like a slur to me. And I'm like, oh, I'm just gonna call myself crazy legs because I get I'm crazy, like right, and then like it just grew to more self to the weird Canadian aka crazy legs. Oh, I also have uh sugar free, so sugar-free Cody. Um because uh I'm not a fan of of sugar.

SPEAKER_01 18:24

Um my dad is in moderation, yeah, see the health weeks episodes, blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_00 18:30

Yeah, but yeah, like I'm just I'm a weird individual, and it it the bullying kind of made me internalize a lot of that, but as I grew, I learned that it was it was helpful. Uh a lot of that was helpful. It's just a matter of you need to grow up. I don't know how else to put it. You just need to grow up.

SPEAKER_01 18:52

Some people never want to, exactly, unfortunately. Yeah, it we we need to let I've got episodes on this and articles at the Liberty Beacon.com and uh before news.com. We need to let kids be kids. Some people are trying to force children to deal with too much adult stuff too early, but then yes, 18, 21 for sure, 24, when the brain is fully developed. Yes, grow the bleep up.

SPEAKER_00 19:27

I it's just fascinating how how you as you get to that point when you realize you look back on your life, it's like I needed to hit those to become who I am. Like, I wouldn't have started my podcast without being able to understand who I was, what I was trying to do, these kinds of things. Honestly, it's so freeing to not worry about it anymore. Like, I I don't know how to relay this to the kids out there, to the young people who think everything is gonna blow up and the world is crappy. I can promise you it's not. And once you understand that and start saying seeing it as like um bad thoughts in your head, bad thoughts in your head, just throw them away. You're you're gonna feel a lot better.

Growing Up And Dropping The Fear

SPEAKER_01 20:13

Bad things sometimes happen to good people, but you're right. Likely Armageddon coming tomorrow is slim, terror strikes coming soon to a city near you. I I don't self-fear porn. I want people at least awake and alert and have a micum of situational awareness and understand bad things sometimes happen to good people. So don't be an ostrich, don't have your head buried in the sand or up your hindside. Hey, attention. Now you mentioned creative. Have you written any books? Uh no, I am starting because Well, and let me recommend to you how to write a book and get it published.

SPEAKER_00 21:00

Fair enough. I I am starting to write a book. I did I did kind of write a 5,000 page piece on on my life, on on how I got to to where I'm at.

SPEAKER_01 21:12

Ums who Cody Johnston really is. So you don't want a memoir, but you can have a dramatic book based upon your life. That would work absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 21:27

So I'm working with AIs to really flush that out right now. Um, but in terms of creative, like I am very good on camera.

SPEAKER_01 21:34

I found I am charismatic talking to people and really No, you don't say I thought you were pretty darn boring, actually. It's a truth, people light up.

SPEAKER_00 21:46

Fun fact, I I really don't like people. Like it's it's like I I get charismatic.

SPEAKER_01 21:51

My sister has a shirt that says people, not a fan. She's got a bumper sticker. I love the more people a meet, I meet, the more I love my cat, right? Yeah, yeah.

Books Creativity And Working With AI

SPEAKER_00 22:01

I I hear you, absolutely. I'm taking from like the George Carland era where it was like I like people are stupid, but the individual, like I'm really excited about the individual. So when I bring somebody on my podcast, it's like I just want to know who you are, why you are, what you're doing, how is it different, what are you going to do with this? I just want to understand from your perspective what's going on to the bigger world because I'm just naturally curious. I want to know, I want to know as much as I can. And it's it's funny because I always put this in in in uh Doctor Who terms, but I want to be the face of Bo. Like I just want to be somebody there that watches history human history throughout the lifetime of it, not really, really interfering, but just being able to see it progress and learn and understand and just be there. That's my reason for being, which is really you're also the nerd. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 23:00

I I'm kidding. I I love Doctor Who. I go back to the original series, so I don't want These days I found it's like just gone off the rails, but I like the older Doctor Who, but at any rate Yeah, so it's just like a matter of like perspective.

SPEAKER_00 23:18

And I have like a lot of big theories on the world. I have a lot of things to tell, and I like to just kind of put the conversation between the two people into perspective for others. And that's where my creative comes in. And then also on top of that, like I use AI to edit my videos. I'm also an AI musician.

SPEAKER_01 23:38

Um I just I just was on Suno.com the other day for my uh I'm grabbing again for the Book of Kennedy Project Carpe Diem. I had it create a theme song, Kennedy's theme, and I just put that up on YouTube and BitChute the other day. Exactly. AI music creation has gotten a lot better than where it was. And the Kennedy's theme song, I've got a rock version, a pop version, a country version, and an unplugged version, and what all the same lyrics, but wow, is it great?

SPEAKER_00 24:21

So and I have so I have six albums on Spotify. Oh wow. I have so much music that I don't I I can't afford to keep on putting it on Spotify, is the problem. Um and yeah, so like I've just been creating, I I I really get involved with it, so it's not just the AI creating it, it's me creating it with the AI. It has to exactly feel what I'm thinking.

SPEAKER_01 24:47

I understand exactly what you're saying, like Suno. Unfortunately, there's only like it's almost like a tweet, 250 characters, so you have to carefully craft what you're telling it to get. But the song it created, the lyrics, the verses, the chorus, the bridge are all it's like it read my book. It is so perfect, it is amazing, and but it's like grok. I use grok imagine 1.0 on occasion, and sometimes you get out great stuff, sometimes it's a dun, it hits the recycle bin. So I get it.

AI Music And Prompt Craft

SPEAKER_00 25:31

I I I take it more as this is the start of the new new way of things because when we had the internet, like I remember this so clearly when the internet first came out, the crap that was being posted was uh pick flicks and like little doodles on your computer and like crap. So I understood that. Well, it wasn't very much bandwidth then though, either. But that's true, but it was like the good stuff was getting up and and coming, and the bad stuff was getting sorted out just as humans do, and that's just the phase we're going through with AI right now. Sometimes you're going to get crap, and sometimes you're going to have a masterpiece, and nine times out of ten, you're getting that masterpiece.

Information Overload And Distraction Culture

SPEAKER_01 26:19

I I agree more times than not. And I like how you said you're you're curious, you like to. I I too am that way. Uh, but unfortunately, there's a lot of people who love to wallow in ignorance, they don't care that they don't know, they don't know, they don't want to know, they prefer a delusional bubble, and that's sad because I coined as a former IT guy never before in the course of human history have had people had information factual at the at their fingertips, but at the same time, conversely, the ability to live in a delusional bubble. Having yeah, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but it matters if your opinion's based on reality or unicorn fart fantasy, right?

SPEAKER_00 27:12

It's it's the quote I go back to when uh or a Reddit quote from like 2012 about what would you tell a time traveler about this period that would astound their mind? And it was I have a device in my pocket capable of accessing the entirety of human knowledge, and I use it to look at cats. And it's just that's what it defined down to is we we have the ability for all of life knowledge, and now so with AI, even more. The cat playing the piano immediately because I love that video. But yeah, like this is this is where we're at, and I love the cats dancing. Like, I I keep on getting the cats dancing now with the AI cat dancers.

SPEAKER_01 27:59

Uh I'm sorry, uh there's a great spoof of guns and roses, uh, sweet child of mine, uh, something paw, paws and roses, and you know, sweet paw of mine or something. Oh, what a what a great little video spoof. But yeah, but and everything in moderation. It's okay to have distractions and deflections, but it's important to understand Roman bread and circus. You can't be consumed by that all the time. People want you distracted and consuming that idiocy all the time and not paying attention to our politicians who are wrapping us blind and selling us up the river. Back to that again.

GPT Shock And Leaving Government Work

SPEAKER_00 28:53

Yeah, uh, just to like, well, to get back into that, that's what sold me. So I was actually sitting in my office in the government. Uh GPT popped out for the first time in October of 22, 23. And I was sitting in my office and I'm like, I'm in the wrong job. Just right there. It it dropped. I was like, I don't need Stack Overflow anymore. I am in the wrong job. I am gonna be irrelevant in 10 years. What do I want to do? That was the snapping point. I was just like, okay. And now having the tech background, I have this the pre-knowledge of understanding what that moment actually meant to me. And it was understanding that I am not a good enough coder to out-compete the best in this field, but yet now here comes a device that can do it better than the best coder in my field.

SPEAKER_01 29:49

Yeah. I was mainly operations administration, but yeah, I dabbled for a while. I go back to MS DOS. I used to write DOS utilities for God's sake. I had to learn COBOL. Yeah, HTML websites, the original websites, my super simple computer enterprises now business website hand-coded by HTML. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 30:22

To to the audience out there, that knowledge is still highly valuable. I still suggest learning it. Um, because as far as I'm concerned, coding is how the world functions. Uh, if you understand coding logic, you understand the entire world.

SPEAKER_01 30:38

But you're right. The a what a boss comes in, write me a program that gives me from this data, I want these things and these fields. AI could do that in five minutes or less. You don't have five days to do it. Yeah.

Coding Still Matters In An AI World

SPEAKER_00 30:55

So that's where this came into be was me just trying to figure out what I wanted to do now. So um during that positive transition, I got to work for FIS Global, Fidelity's parent company working in banking software. So it was really cool because I got to see private industry is just as bad as public industry. It can be, yes. Yeah. Great knowledge there. And then yeah, I stepped away to start my channel, which is uh a culmination of me giving uh like entrepreneurs and and small and medium-sized businesses the tools, the information, the people to build what we need. I I think giving people um hope and experience and understanding of these tools will help fix the problems that we're we're all experiencing because we don't have enough people to solve those problems or solving those problems. Like it's always been caveated to the rich who have the money to invest in those problems. Well, now intelligence fixing those problems comes at no cost. Like you can figure out a solution to that problem and run it at a thousand dollar cost now instead of the hundred thousands.

Private Industry And Helping Small Business

SPEAKER_01 32:10

There's part of the problem right there, though, human nature, and why I wrote the life and living series of books. Human condition, human nature, psychology. There will always be some who will go will work harder at not working than it would take to do the job, right? That's why the Bible makes the distinction between those who are unable to work and those who are unwilling. And why Jesus said the poor will always be among you. There will always be some who will try to skate and do the least effort possible, and always conners and scammers and who don't want politicians wink wink not, right? They don't want a problem solved. They make their living bilking the public on not solving, using an issue as a problem, but never really solving it.

SPEAKER_00 33:13

It's one of the reasons I will never endorse UBI um because our universal basic income, because that is just not something that's remotely feasible with that type of people.

Human Nature UBI And Communism

SPEAKER_01 33:26

Um, it is denial of human nature. Communism fails. I talk all the time. Biblical community, free will, voluntary. You want to be your brothers and sisters keeper, but bearing in mind I have no Christian obligation to unwilling, but the unable, versus communism, forced at the barrel of a gun, and the laziness in the society. That's why it fails. It fails to recognize human nature.

SPEAKER_00 34:03

And uh, like I've been like uh so another fun fact about me, my family has been going to Cuba since the 98. My parents run a nonprofit uh in Cuba right now, been has been running it since COVID just to get supplies, food, medicine.

SPEAKER_01 34:21

Cuba might not be standing or the Cuba might not be standing much longer.

SPEAKER_00 34:28

We're we're hoping the government gets taken out because yeah, that's the problem with Cuba. Um, but yeah, for right now we're supporting them in.

SPEAKER_01 34:37

If they're running 50 seconds, they're running on next to me. That's the place to be, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 34:43

But yeah, just the people are beautiful, the governments just ruin them, and that communism has showcased really hard in that. Um, so like I know that system. I don't I refuse to ever enlighten that as a system, and Canada goes that way. I will be leaving. Um, as much as I love Canada, further down the path of it than we are.

SPEAKER_01 35:05

As Reagan said, if we lose it here, there's nowhere left to go. We must keep it here. And there are so many on the left eager to repeat them. We tried communism in the United States before we were a nation. The Bradford Colony, the Mayflower Compact was a commonwealth communist before the term was coin. Compact. No one owned anything, it was all communal, and indeed, more Anne Rand, Atlas Shrugged, more people kept wanting to get in the cart and be pulled than were able to pull it. They almost all starved to death. Bradford then instituted personal rights, freedom, individual rights, and personal responsibility and private property ownership, and the rest, as they say, is history.

SPEAKER_00 36:05

The problem I see right now is we've stopped teaching that. We stopped teaching that what our history is about on purpose, on purpose, but we've also increased showing what China's like. Not not what China's like, not what it actually is like, but what it's like.

SPEAKER_01 36:23

Yeah, the propaganda version of what we're doing.

SPEAKER_00 36:27

We are showcasing that they have unbelievable robots and the cleanest streets and the nicest people, and then under the belly of that, you understand the 300 years of Maoism. The suffering of the Ughers, uh, Canadians. We've had Canadians arrested on diplomatic charges, put into prisons there and put at gunshot. We have like spy satellites all over the world for uh Chinese spies. And it's just like these are the things you don't get showcased. And if you literally actually go look, you find it. It's not even hard to find. You look at one alternative source, and you'll find everything about them.

SPEAKER_01 37:09

Yeah, the Western left is in bed with the CCCP, and unfortunately, I I don't just call out Democrats here, I call out rhinos here, same Mitt Rhino, as I call him, right? In bed and profiting off of shipping our manufacturing over to China, which I get a degree of globalism. When Nixon opened China, it made sense. But when Clinton and Romney and their ilk invited them into World Trade and most favored nation, no wrong thing to do.

SPEAKER_00 37:53

And and now we sit at a point where where China has a lot of influence, like a lot of influence, and the US has been losing it all the time because their propaganda is just death, death, death, death, death. Like all the all the propaganda for the US is we want to take over everything. All the propaganda from China is we want a polite society, we want love, we want to, we just want to get along.

SPEAKER_01 38:18

They make it sound biblical, but it is not, yes.

AI Manufacturing And 3D Printing Shift

SPEAKER_00 38:21

And it's like, okay, um, we're at this point where AI is now going to determine who wins. We're either going to have capitalism or we're going to have communism. That is the choice we are going to make. As a world, not as a country or anything. As a world, we are now at a pivotal point where that is the choice. And all our governments right now are understanding the pride of domestic manufacturing, the understanding of domestic security aspects alone.

SPEAKER_01 38:51

You cannot rely on your enemy for parts for your military. That's just stupid.

Canada Politics Carney And Food Prices

SPEAKER_00 39:00

And and on top of that, uh, it's becoming easier to do these things. Like I run a 3D printing company, I can manufacture parts as needed. It's becoming much easier to run domestic facilities at home, too. So why aren't we doing it? And this is this is why I get so pissed off at Canada and why I'm I I yell at Canadians all the time, is because Canada is actively moving more to China and less building domestic manufacturing. And we're like, America's doing did the exact same thing. Why are we expecting something different?

SPEAKER_01 40:19

Right. How do you not learn the that's the hubris and the stupidity of communist thinking? They did it wrong. We're so much superior in intelligence and ability. Our elite know better and will do it the right way. Again, the continuing failure of socialism and communism, failing to learn when others screw things up and learn the lesson from it.

SPEAKER_00 40:48

Yeah. So yeah, and I'm really, I'm really excited because Canadians are starting to wake up. Like we are starting to see things. I am we're we're on the cusp of another election coming up. Um, we're not sure when we're probably gonna have it in the fall. And we need to make sure that Donald Trump doesn't say anything about Canada. Nothing. He cannot say a word about Canada from now on because if he does, we are going full-on communists.

SPEAKER_01 41:15

Right, that's that risk. If we try to meddle too much, hoping to prop up conservatism and anti-communism, it will backfire. I agree with what you're saying. That he needs to shut up and do things quietly behind the scenes. What do you think of Circus Clown Carney? Better than true, don't, but no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No worse in a lot of ways. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 41:48

We are we are double the deficit since he came in. Double. Like we a year. We've doubled the deficit in a year. I'm yeah, he is never at home. He spent 72 days last year in Canada. And most of us are weekends, so he's not working.

SPEAKER_01 42:07

That's all over the world. That's why I say he's perfectly named Carney as in circus clown.

SPEAKER_00 42:13

Yes. He's all all around the world securing deals for our mineral rights, but we have no infrastructure to to dig those up, no infrastructure to actually send them out, no nothing to actually get us to the minerals to eat.

SPEAKER_01 42:26

And you said a lot of time coding up to Xi in China.

SPEAKER_00 42:31

And then so my theory is he's getting contracts from foreign companies. Foreign companies are gonna come in, they're gonna own those mines, own those resources, and Canada's gonna get none of it. He's selling off our debt to fund uh selling off our resources, um, is what essentially it boils down to. And I'm really getting sick of Canadians not understanding that.

SPEAKER_01 42:54

But the nice part is what we're right, pressure from us could backfire and just drive it because dump you can't fix stupid. Stupid people just will not wake up. The more you try to educate them, the dumb it goes back to delusional bubble.

SPEAKER_00 43:14

Yep. The the one thing we have going for us right now is Carney said at the start of his promise was judge me on my food on the food prices, not what I say or do or not something, right? Yeah, our food prices are the highest in the G7.

SPEAKER_01 43:32

Shall be known by your fruits, and in this case, literally the price of the fruit, unintended.

SPEAKER_00 43:41

And that's literally all we have to go on. If he was to run right now, he would fail because good we're judging. Good. But the problem is we have to.

SPEAKER_01 43:50

But again, I need to shut up and stay out of it. I I I I agree with you. I need to also maybe quietly behind the scenes, but I shouldn't even have said what I've said on this show.

Oil Energy Security And Climate Skepticism

SPEAKER_00 44:01

No, it's it's just the reality, and I I I like to talk about this as much as possible because it is just the reality, and the the utter stupid part that is just baffling to me. The only thing, or the actually, yeah, the only thing that's stopping us from uh being a productive country is our laws against drilling for oil.

SPEAKER_01 44:28

Oh, the same with Obama and Biden here, right? Yeah. And Trump we just had to we just had to ship it in from Australia. Yeah. The conflict going on now and issues with the strait to Hormuz. Europe is gonna hurt. Maybe UK and France will now finally get their butts off the sideline and send their Navy in to make sure the straits stay open. Because we under Trump have gotten a lot more energy independent, and that's for national security reasons. Why you want to be, why you even be?

SPEAKER_00 45:13

So even if you don't take the the national protection stance, even if you take it at an environmental stance, we don't have the environmental tech to be renewable. We need the oil to build the infrastructure to build the renewable. It takes oil for the windmills, yeah. It takes it takes oil for the be vehicles to build the roads, it takes oil to build the houses, it takes oil to run a nation right now. And I'm and that's the unfortunate fact.

SPEAKER_01 45:44

Yeah, you're right. It's an oil economy still. No matter how much the cost. Climate cards and how climate responsible is it when you could drill in your own backyard with our Western standards of you know wanting to be Christian good stewards of the environment, do it responsibly, distill it at home. How is it more environmental to ship it all across the world? That's not environmentalism, that's climate idiocy, that's climate cultism, that's non-thinking.

SPEAKER_00 46:29

I would I would suggest anybody look up uh Desiree Fixler. She's a WEF uh whistleblower, and she talks how all of the money got funneled for climate.

SPEAKER_01 46:41

Scam.

SPEAKER_00 46:42

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 46:43

Money laundering. It's been a money laundering scheme ever since Al Gore's an inconvenient lie movie.

SPEAKER_00 46:52

If it had been invested, we'd be at that green future right this second. That's the simple fact.

Website Plug And Closing Requests

SPEAKER_01 47:00

But they've been too busy lining their pockets with most of that. Exactly. Okay, well, wow, has the time flown? I did not expect we'd have uh this man, these many rabbit holes we'd dive down. So I want to uh we could go for hours, but you know, you know, as a podcaster, the longer it gets, the fewer the views. Today's Twitter attention span, I call it, right? Just give me the headline, just give me the Tic Tac Video short version. Well, sorry, people, details matter, and you need to learn that. So, anyway, do you have a website?

SPEAKER_00 47:41

Yes, I do. It's called the WeirdCanadian.ca.

SPEAKER_01 47:45

Yep. Uh the weird, I'm writing it down so I can make sure to put it on the scroll.ca as most sites in Canada, and then dot CA, just like in Europe, a lot of them have their own dot extensions. It's in the US. We have uh a bazillion different ones now. We don't have just dot us for government, dot com, like I have terror strikes dot info for one.

SPEAKER_00 48:14

You can even get dot party now.

SPEAKER_01 48:17

Oh now that makes sense. All the political parties should have their own extension. And and instead of trying to because that's another thing. All the NGOs here, non-governmental organizations, they're not nonpartisan, private, public, nonprofits. They're money laundering operations. You're not well, unfortunately, they are fooling, as I call the independents who refuse to pick a side. At any rate, we are we've way blown over in time, so I don't know exactly when this will air. Of course, I will reach out via pod match and let you know when it does. Take care. God bless, brother. See ya. Like and subscribe to Christitutionalist politics podcast and care episodes.
