The Daily Weasel - Episode 24 - C'est dommage

The Daily Weasel - Episode 24 - C'est dommage

This election was a waste of time and money. Holding an optional election in the middle of a 4th pandemic wave shows exactly what our politicians think about Canada and Canadians. They are willing to put our lives at risk for their own self-serving purposes.

The Canadian political party system is broken and hurting the country. We must change it. Get out and vote for whoever you want tomorrow, but remember what these politicians have done to us and what they will continue to do to us, if we let them. Let's think about how we can make Canada better in the future without them.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 23 - We predict the election outcome with tarot cards!

There's some real Game of Thrones shit going on in this tarot reading. We tell you who will win on election day, why, and what happens next.

I pull a card for each leader and ask  how will they be at the end of election day. You gotta hear this. It's a bit longer than usual at 6 minutes but think of it as an extra bonus!

The Daily Weasel - Episode 22 - Hope? Nope.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 22 - Hope? Nope.

Yesterday, Olivia Chow was in my riding with Jagmeet Singh making little speeches. She was peddling "hope" again. 

Hope is not enough anymore. We need more than fluff.

They could have won this election if they had a leader and a plan. If they weren't willing to sell out our rights and freedoms for their own internal goals. The NDP has lost its way. They stand for nothing.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 21 - Why the polls are wrong

The Daily Weasel - Episode 21 - Why the polls are wrong

The polls are so exciting in the last for days before the election, but do they mean anything? What do they measure? Our attitudes toward the shaped content we get on our screens? Oh to be a fly on the wall at the platforms. They can probably predict the election outcome with great accuracy even now. polling organizations, not so much.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 20 - Alberta's health care system on the verge of collapse

The Daily Weasel - Episode 20 - Alberta's health care system on the verge of collapse

While our smarmy politicians crisscross Canada trying to convince us that they have some value, Alberta's health care system is collapsing. 

I'm frustrated and disappointed by our politicians. You are too, right? It's completely clear now they have no care or concern for Canadians and are simply interested in their own re-election. It's horrifying and disgusting. I hope tomorrow's podcast will be more cheerful.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 19 - Smarmageddon

It's the last few days before our election and the desperation in the Trudeau campaign is on full display. Leaping in front of cameras to lie to us on the fly is not enough anymore. It never was.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 18 - Elections Canada, You Rock!

Voted in the advance poll yesterday in my community. I was very impressed by the poll worker training and the safety measures in place. 

While old-timey, the voting experience was calm, orderly and friendly. Elections Canada, you rock!

The Daily Weasel - Episode 16 - Don't Let anyone tell you who to for .

Now's the moment in Canada's election cycle where journalists and politicians will tell you how to vote. 

They'll say a vote for this one is a vote for that one. They'll talk about 'strategic voting'. Don't listen to them. Vote for whoever you want to. Look at your community. Ask your candidates questions by email or phone. If they don't respond or don't respond adequately, to your satisfaction, vote for someone else.

Look at your candidates as human beings, not as politicians. Judge them in that manner, because once you elect them, they do what they want and the promises go out the window.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 13 - Click Best Candidate To Win!

Just over 300 hours left until the election in Canada and the candidates have opened up the fire hoses of lies and false promises. We are going to get soaked with false promises that will later evaporate once they win. Once they are elected, they do what they want. 


We need automation to replace them. If we can have robot cashiers at Shoppers Drug Mart, we can have robot politicians who do what WE say and not what THEY want.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 12 - Vote Julie Dabrusin Out Of Office

The Daily Weasel - Episode 12 - Vote Julie Dabrusin Out Of Office

Ah, the Toronto Danforth riding: our backyard! We have a small Chinatown and a Greektown with flaming cheese! It's a great place to live and work in Toronto and I've done it for over three decades.

Our MP, Liberal Julie Dabrusin, has other ideas. She's spent the last two years trying to remove our rights of free speech and expression. Julie seems to be representing the needs of Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault, Canada's Internet Napoleon,  instead of her constituents here and the needs of her riding. Her offices on Queen St. East in Toronto seemed abandoned when we walked past last night. Residents in the community I spoke to say the office has never been open.

Our democracy rests on free speech and expression. Julie doesn't want that. The Liberal government wants to control Canada's information space and if they they achieve this they will never leave office. Vote Julie Dabrusin out of office. Vote for someone else.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 10 - What are our politicians for?

The Daily Weasel - Episode 10 - What are our politicians for?

We have the answer! If we can have robot surgeons and self driving cars, Canada should be able to have trustworthy, time limited robot politicians who actually do what they promise and switch off when their terms are up.

Today's Canadian political ecosystem is simply theater. It's like a giant play and the journalists are the theater critics. It's all a huge pack of lies and simply self promotional marketing for politicians. Voting for any Canadian politician is like voting for an actor in a musical. Canadians should be able to impact their politics directly. Let's sweep away the entire human politician layer and have political bots that do what they promise and do it for less money. Let's sweep away the smarmy politicians and get proper, honest governance.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 07 - Canada's post-pandemic future

The Daily Weasel - Episode 07 - Canada's post-pandemic future

Canadian politicians could have used the pandemic as an excuse to plan a better, grander Canada (if they needed an excuse). But while publicly saying they had our back, what they were really doing in the back was the designing online information control regulations which perpetuate their death grips on power, eliminate our rights and freedoms, and reduce Canada' ability to compete commercially in the global Internet space. 

But resistance isn't futile...

The Daily Weasel - Episode 06 - Trudeau advises the 1250 Canadians he abandoned in Afghanistan to hide

The Daily Weasel - Episode 06 - Trudeau advises the 1250 Canadians he abandoned in Afghanistan to hide

What many Canadians missed yesterday was the Canadian government, Prime Minister Trudeau,  advising the 1,250 Canadians left in Afghanistan to hide. This is Trudeau's help for them. Telling them to hide. This lame advice is obviously now the only help coming. WTF. We can't understand how a Canadian Prime Minister, who's main duty is to protect Canadians, decides not to do this in order to focus on his own re-election. It's maniacal. It's callous. It's evil.

We are so pleased to present you with this exclusive interview. We discuss the state of Canadian journalism, Canada's election, Canadian political parties, self pleasuring, censorship laws and journalists, Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh, Erin O'Toole and other topics.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 04 - The Tools of Democracy

The Daily Weasel - Episode 04 - The Tools of Democracy

Are the campaign buses coming to your Canadian town for this optional election in a public health emergency? They'll bring everything with them: the politician, the media, the anti and pro protestors, the podium, lighting. It's a fully contrived experience, a self contained event designed for TV and social media. It has nothing to do with you, your family, or your town or city, that's simply a backdrop and they'll instantly forget about you and  move to the next town to spew more false promises and concocted imagery. Just like ye olde carnival hucksters. Canadians understand this clearly now. So make some noise. Bang on your trash can lids. Make a cardboard megaphone and tell them what you think. Make them work for their supper for a change.

The Daily Weasel - Episode 03 - How Much Did The Vaccines Cost?

As Canada's election frenzy oozes across the country and the parties send protesters to each other's events to cause mischief and create headlines, we ask: How much did Canada pay for our Covid vaccines? How much did each dose cost Canada, say, compared to the US or the UK? Why is this information being kept from Canadians? We have the right to know this information and Canadian journalists need to be asking this question every day until it is answered. Follow us on twitter @tribemegazine

The Daily Weasel - Episode 02 - Trudeau vs. the Bolton antimaskers

The big story yesterday was how Justin Trudeau had to cancel an event because of antimask protesters. Canadians have to deal with antimask protests every day. Trudeau had to deal with it yesterday, for the first time. The Daily Weasel explains why Trudeau is in for many more Boltons as he campaigns across Canada. This podcast is 2 minutes long. Why don't you give it a listen.
