Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The 2025 election had a lot of irregularities. There's no question China was involved and they wanted Mark Carney to win. Our trade dealings with Washington now are being impacted by China. And he is ramming these bills through. I don't think the country's going in the right direction.
Chapter 2: What new speech laws are being proposed in Canada?
I think what's interesting too is like there's not that much coverage on what is seemingly some sweeping changes.
There are good smart reporters out there. But look, it's just undeniable now that they're working in a government subsidized environment.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of Bill C-2 and Bill C-22?
The opposition wouldn't support that. I myself was accused of promoting hate speech. when I pointed to the documented fact that China's United Front Community Group agencies had sucked personal protective equipment out of Canada during COVID. Is there anything we can do?
Like, can we do anything?
If Toby Lutke fronted and said, it's time for a rally in Ottawa, all the tech companies, all the reasonable people in the country, let's stand out in front of Parliament Hill. I think it's time for, you know, some socially responsible action.
And this is where, though, if you had a true independent media industry, they would be all over this story. Of course, we know in Canada, all the big media platforms, you know, most of them are receiving some kind of compensation and support from the very guys that are supposed to be keeping in, you know, in line.
Hey, there's a bubble.

Welcome back to the show, Richard.
Gentlemen, gentlemen. What's going on? I have two comments.
Chapter 6: How do Canada's privacy rights compare to other countries?
One, on behalf of all of the Portuguese people on planet Earth, I beg Cristiano Ronaldo to do the honourable thing and to step aside and let the next generation win. play in his stead. He was brutal. And the memes, the memes, by the way, the World Cup's been great. I thought I didn't care. I've been sucked right into it. And the memes have been absolutely hilarious.
And some of them have been horrible.
Chapter 7: What legal challenges do Canadians face regarding surveillance?
So that's the first thing. Cristiano Ronaldo, we love you. You're the best. Great. It's time for you to step away. And the other thing is that I curse these clouds because my weekend in the woods chopping, sorry, my weekend in the woods cutting stuff up and chainsawing and
Chapter 8: How does organized crime impact Canada's security?
Going swimming has been scuttled. I don't watch soccer, so tell me. So there's this game. There's two nets. There's a small round ball. No, but the point I was making is Twitter's fricking sending me all these videos of Ronaldo getting looked off from all his teammates. Like, this is why he sucks. And he's, like, wide open. And they, like, look him off. That's the Ronaldo propagandist out there.
He's a corpse, man. They're dragging him through the game. How old is he now? He's like 40 years old. It's ridiculous. It's over. It's over. The team's really good. I think he's 42, which I think that's a young man, actually.
thank you you know like i i love soccer i don't follow it at that level but the world cup is always fun the negative critique with the world cup they've gone from 32 teams to 48 steve that's like the nhl playoffs letting everybody play well they all do that anyway canada's still in it Listen, okay, it's been great. Messi's good. The Harlan guy from Norway's good. Mbappe's scoring goals.
Everybody's scoring goals. Ronaldo just needs to sit aside. Rich, I'm deliberating going to a game, but the cheapest ticket is $1,000. Yeah, it's nice. Very top of the bowl. Save your money for Colorado. Who are the teams? Oh, I mean, like today, it's like Canada and Qatar.
shame on you we're no canada we're gonna win the whole thing so a couple a couple of things though world cup you have to uh the scottish fans are on fire apparently they they ran out of beer in boston yeah a couple of days ago when the scots were in town so so that's fine that sounds like the looey hour in calgary yeah yeah it's a lawn bowling club that was the afternoon wasn't it but the other thing with world cup if you're really into it you'll know what i mean by this
It's always more interesting the longer their English are still involved with it. And that's what we got for today. Okay, Steve has no idea what that means, but Rich does, of course. We do have a special guest. Speaking of English. Speaking of English. We have a special guest coming on today. A little bit more enthusiasm, Steve. Sam Cooper. Sam Cooper, third time coming on.
He's talking about the Bill C-9, Bill C-22, and the last one is what, Rich Bill? 34. 34. 34, C9, C22, and 34. Basically, we've got social media bans for those under 16. You've got the surveillance ban, which we talked about with Professor Michael Geist on the podcast, I don't know, three, four weeks ago. And then we've got the Bill C-9, which is sort of like the hate speech.
Anyways, there's a lot of uproar on social media. People are genuinely concerned about the of the government. Interestingly enough, Rich, I know you've been tracking this, but I think there's, I mean, the UK has been all over it. The UK is coming out apparently with the same policies. Apparently they're supposed to be banning VPNs. I think Europe's, the Eurozone's banning VPNs as well.
So like, it's interesting that you have all of these countries all simultaneously, all at the same time, proposing to push these laws through. So it's clearly a coordinated effort No. Yes, of course it's coordinated.
