Autogenerated Transcript Leftist ideologies have become so pervasive in our country that today many of us, even conservatives, are afraid to say what we really think. And it's not just that we might be canceled or that will offend our left -leaning friends and family. For many conservatives today, they're afraid of offending other conservatives. But it is in exactly that environment that those with the courage to speak plainly thrive, mostly because they're not afraid to say what the rest of us are thinking. Peter McIsaac grew up in small town Nova Scotia in the 60s and 70s. His family was poor, as was almost everyone else in town. Peter trapped and hunted with his father for food. He picked blueberries and sold them at ten cents a quart. He did anything he could to secure a better life for himself, and never once did he expect a handout. Life taught him, as it has for many of us, that the world owes us nothing. But he also noticed that his hippie friends, who didn't work, had their hands out as soon as Peter collected his earnings. Fifty years later, Peter has written a book on where that has led, on the parasitical growth in Canada of what it refers to as leftist libtards, and how they are destroying a once great country. But more importantly, Peter's book focuses on the values and actions that we as conservatives must preserve and practice to take back our country. The book is the Redneck Conservative, and it's an Amazon bestseller. Here in his first full interview since the release of the book is Peter McIsaac, the Redneck Conservative. Peter, it's a pleasure to have you back on the show. I feel quite honored to be invited back. Thanks very much. I thoroughly enjoyed your book and I am going to give it the absolute best endorsement I can through a confession. I have to read a lot of books, obviously, as a journalist. And I don't have time to read that many books, even though years ago I taught myself to speed read and I can read it two to three times with speed. Most people can. I still just don't have time. So I have an assistant who reads the books for me and she compiles it into a document. She sends it all back to me so that I can just get the highlights and I don't have to read the whole thing. And she's good at it. Well, I was not halfway through the document she sent to me and I said, this is a book I have to read for myself and did. And I have not enjoyed a book that much in a long time. And obviously, a lot of people feel the same way because it's already gone to number one on Amazon in three different categories. Clearly, you've struck a chord, Peter. And yet the thing about it is, there's nothing earth -shattering in the book. You're not proposing the solution to all of society's problems. You're just talking about things that you and I and many of my viewers would call common sense. So what is it about your book that you think has struck a chord with people? Well, I think Part of the issue is right off the bat is I'm not a writer. I'm a guy who grew up down in Cape Breton, and I had a story to tell. And down this neck of the woods, people get pretty good at storytelling. And a lot of the stories that I tell in the book, and you have to understand that 90 % of the stories I would have liked to told I can't tell, because a lot of those people are still alive. The issue being, though, is because I'm not a writer, I just wrote that book, How We Speak. I've had some people who read it who said, man, it's like standing next to you, listening to you talk. And it's just flat of common sense from beginning to the end. And I tried to say what everybody that I sit down in a coffee shop with Anywheres is saying when they don't think other people are listening and they're not going to get themselves in trouble. So I was willing to stick my neck out and get in trouble to tell the stories and talk about the issues that concern them because I'm at the point in life where I just doesn't matter to me anymore. I'm going to say what needs to be said and irregardless of what happens. I'm a grandfather of six and a father of five And they're dependent on Grampi to say certain things. And I don't mince words with very few people. And I'm really not politically correct. And because it's hard to get anything today that's not politically correct, I'd worked on this book for over six years initially, to be honest with you. And I kept shelving it. And finally, we had a solution rather than be just a person who complains about some of the problems that we're all dealing with today, when we finally had a solution, I said it's time to finish the book. And so, to be honest with Hugh, I was hoping a few people would be interested in it. I was astonished when I found out within short order it had made it to number one in one category, and then to find out it made it in three. And the biggest issue now is just getting it out to the general public because timing is everything and the story that I tell in that book is highly relevant to what's happening today and it'll help prepare people I hope for a lot of what's coming. And what's coming right now, if you're not prepared, you're going to get flattened. You're going to get hit with a semi -truck here and then you're, you know, probably within the next 12 months if you don't prepare yourself what folks like you and many of the other people that I talk to will there are an agreement on issues that need to be dealt with. So like I say, I'm just a redneck boy with a story to tell. Now, you made a comment in all of that that was perfect because it's going to lead right into the next question I wanted to ask you. And it was about not being afraid to just bluntly say what you think. And we've got to a society today where most of us are afraid to say what we think because, oh, we're going to offend somebody. But it's not, it's not that we're going to offend the left. No, it's gotten so bad that some of the things you said in that book would offend people who couldn't call themselves right when. How did this happen, Peter? How did we get to this point where common sense Stuff like that could possibly offend our fellow conservatives. So it started with me when I was a kid. My mom had no filters. And my dad had very few. He was an ex -military guy. Mom had zero filters. Whatever she was thinking, you're going to hear about it. And she was brutal. And I really, to be honest with you, Will, I had to read about 150 different books on people skills and stuff to be able to deal with folks without offending them because I am that blunt. And the reason being is where we grew up down here, not being blunt, could get you killed. You needed to tell someone they were doing something that was stupid. And you didn't tell them. You may end up dead as a result of it. So I just grew up with very few filters and just to try to make ends meet and be able to get my message across to people. I had to do an awful pile of training just to be able to not be as blunt. You may think I'm blunt in that book. That's the tame down version of me. I can tell you right now. As a matter of fact, one of the key things in Amazon with the book, they allow people to read the first few chapters. And I put a quote in there. I'm probably not allowed to put it on here, but it was about, right, if you're offended by anything I say in his book, you can have yourself a big old heap and cup of shut to F up. And, you know, and basically I grew up, I make my coffee with liberal tears in the morning. And I put that in that first couple of chapters of the book because to be honest with you, I don't want a lot of liberals reading that book because if they're not out in a boat when their head explodes, they're allowed to start a forest fire. Yes. Right, because there's some pretty rough stuff in there. But don't get me wrong, I've got some liberal buddies of mine who have read it, and I've got some people that were highly critical of some of the things that I say that have actually read the book and got back to me and said, look, I may not agree with everything, but I agree with 90 % of what you say in the book. Some of the things they disagree with are, and it's just me reporting. It's not, these aren't my views, but, and some of The things that five years ago were a, they were basically a conspiracy theory and the time basically today between a conspiracy theory and the truth, you know, it's down to six months now. I mean, it's record breaking and it's shattering. It's like I watched an interview two nights ago or listened to an interview on acts that got over a billion views. And if I listened to the mainstream media from yesterday, you'd think it was a total disaster. You know, Elon Musk was talking to Donald Trump, and there was no filters, and it was one of the most refreshing things I've listened to in a long, long time. And that's why a billion people tuned in, and don't get me wrong, mainstream media, their head's going to blow up. And it's been blown up, you know, woke me up the other night, liberal heads exploding all across the country from that the reality is, is, is, I'm blunt enough in that book and I'm concerned that if Bill C -63 gets passed, that book will be banned. And, you know, I've got enough problems with, uh, ceases for things that I've done and criminal code investigations I've opened against Justin Trudeau. Basically, I just had a story to tell. And, uh, you can, when a person reads the book, You know, I've got people that say from the time I pick it up, I can't put it down. I literally haven't had anybody. Even my liberal buddies say, I don't like your book. This book's got to go, right? But I can guarantee you that the powers that be in Ottawa want that book on. Because, like I said, it's a good read. If, you know, I've had people say, look, if I could only read one book this year, that would be it, which is awful flattering because I want to show you something here that's sitting on my thing. This is a little rock. And on it is an E .H. And the E .H stands for Ernest Hemingway. And I had a buddy bring me back a rock from Ernest Hemingway's garden. And it was almost like when it was time to finish the book, I mean, he was a hard drinker. He was kind of a wild man. And him and I had a lot in common. And it was almost like one evening after getting that rock back from that man's garden. I know this sounds a little kooky. But it was almost that says, look, you've got a story to tell, tell it, and let the chips fall where they may. And hopefully, hopefully, there's messages in that book that'll wake some people up and make major changes and at least allow them to, like I said, to prepare for what's coming. Yes. Now, before we move on, Peter, and there's just a lot of things that I want to talk about in your book. I think we need to define some terms, liberal and conservative, because that's really what we're talking about today is conservatives versus liberals, and our mindset is different. I have my own definition. I'm going to give it to you, and then I'm going to invite you to give the viewers yours and go on at some length if you want to. I have a very simple definition. A liberal is someone who believes society is responsible for the individual, and a conservative is someone who believes the individual is responsible for society. What's your definitions? Well, it's going to be hard to beat what you just said because you've got it down to two sentences. The reality is that conservatives just want to be the government to get out of their way and let them succeed on a moral basis without doing physical harm to people, people will get their feelings hurt by things by the truth. The truth offends a lot of different people. And the reality is that conservatives just want to be able to put their head down, do their work, they want to be able to benefit from the work that they do, and then when they become successful, It's up to them, from a biblical perspective, to help their brothers. It's not up to the government to rob from conservatives and then fund projects and help people out that they think need to be helped. Ultimately, it's up to all of us to succeed as much as we can without the government putting their boot on the back of our neck. And then when we become successful through those efforts that weren't stalled by government, then we can help as many people as we want. The liberal always feels that they know how to spend my money better than I do. They're 100 % convinced that they can take whatever money you have will and spend it better than you can. Right now in Canada, we're paying over 62%. Taxes, when all levels of taxes are included. And every day they're trying to find a way to take more. And conservatives just want to be treated fairly. They're not interested in paying their fair share because people can't define fair share. And a liberal believes that their fair share is whatever they can get from you without causing you to rebel. Conservatives believe you should be able to keep as much your money as you make, as as legally possible. I mean, in reality, there's things that we need to do. You know, roads and stuff need to be maintained. But we're paying, we should be paying a tax rate. All combined taxes should be no more than 20%, not 62%. Imagine if we cut 42 % of the taxation, what that would do to the lives and livelihoods of every citizen in Canada. So, and I guess the thing is, is even though the book's called the Redneck Conservative and I have because I had liberal friends that sat, you know, they actually sat down and said, look, the liberal party has figured out, we know how to spend your money better than you do. And people are too busy making a living. They're not paying attention, and they need people like us to tell them how to live their lives. And he actually believed it. And I thought, you had an arrogant POS. And then I realized, like I said in the book, he wasn't being arrogant. I was actually how the bulk of the people in that party feel. And so to me, that's your key difference between being a liberal and a conservative. I know how to spend my, how to spend the money I make. And liberals believe they know best how to spend the money we make. Right. Now, where did we get our conservative mindset? It was very obvious from reading your book. A lot of it came from your childhood. I can't say I had exactly similar experiences, but a lot of what you experienced as a child, I did as well. And the thing that came out of that for us is that we learned. Nobody had to tell us. We just learned from the way we grew up that the world didn't owe us a damn thing. Nothing. We wanted to have something. We had to get off our asses and work for it. But we've got this liberal mindset out there. And where these people got these ideas, I'm not really sure. But clearly, they think that the world owes them something. So this leads to, I think, I'm sorry, it's a difficult question, but I'm going to try to phrase as simply as I can. Part of how we got here was that the left took over our schools. And they started teaching this leftist ideology to our kids. And it was very effective. My own son, who's now 20 years old, we couldn't compete with the messaging from social media and the brainwashing in the school. He went woke. He moved out a couple of years ago. He doesn't talk to us anymore. Wow. And so, in a household, as conservative as mine, if that can happen, I think, hope, we can turn it around because I do believe that we are going to take back our schools eventually, that we are going to have conservatives on the school boards. We're going to have conservatives teaching in the classrooms. It is going to swing back the other way. But now we're going to have the opposite problem. We're going to have the children of liberals sitting in those classrooms who at home are being taught the world owes you something. Do you think there's a way that we can turn it around in the classroom and actually teach those kids? No, the world doesn't owe you a damn thing and in fact, you owe something back to the society that's giving you those rights and privileges. I agree with what you said 100%. When I was, I grew up with an attitude of gratitude because my mom grew up in extreme poverty and lots of days she went home for lunch and there was nothing to eat. So mom had an attitude of gratitude and passed that on to all of us. Irregardless, I can be anywhere. It doesn't matter where I'm where I am. And I'm happy 99 % of the time, to be honest with it. That was a decision I made. I can literally remember where I was driving the dad made that decision. And I said, look, at every circumstance, and in every circumstance we confront, we have a decision. But I had a dad who said, look, the world doesn't even owe you good air. They don't own you clean air. We don't owe you food. We don't owe you nothing. Right? And I never got an allowance. And I never got in allowance because my parents said it allowance is welfare for kids. We start giving you something for nothing. You're going to grow up thinking you your owed something for nothing. And I know parents that, you know, I see lots of kids running around with $800 eye faults, man. And they didn't pay for them. They didn't work for them. And when they bust them, they want another one. You know, I talked to a little grant, a kid here the other day, and they got a brand new bike bicycle three years ago. And I said, what happened to your bike? Oh, well, it doesn't work. You know, never put oil on it, never looked after, it never did anything because everything that's given to you, you don't place value on. Everything that you have to work for, you place value on. And it goes back to that story in the book where I talk about as being and a kid six years old picking blueberries because I they would, right off the back, it's a mindset. They would think, this is great. Pete just got, you know, his 10 cents a quart for the blueberries that are now like six bucks a quart. And how were we going to spend his money? And they would actually go out and that was their thought process. And that's when we were little kids. So a lot of that stuff is taught at home. But here's one of the critical things that happened, Will, that most people aren't aware of. And in the mid -80s, right, I had three kids in school in the mid -80s. And roughly right about around then was the time when school started punishing you for fighting back against bullies. And this is critical because people have to understand why won't people fight back? Because since the mid -80s, okay, so for the last 45 years, kids in school have been taught You cannot fight back against bullies or tyranny. If you do, you will be punished. Because I remember my youngest son, opening day of school, some kid about a head taller than and pushed him. A couple times. He turned around, told him to leave him along. Finally, he didn't. He turned around and dropped him. Right in a lot, line up, broke his nose. Bang, down he went, and he just turned around, and I got a call from the school. They said, look, the first day of school, you got to go over. I said, wow, what happened? Well, some kid, and I saw the kid, he was, you know, half a foot taller than my young fella. And he was shoving him. And I said, so what happened? Well, Craig hit him. Yeah, but I said, what's the problem? He said, well, the problem was he was pushing him. Craig hit him and broke his nose. Yeah, but didn't you tell me this big kid was pushing him, being a bully? Yeah. So he stood up for himself, yeah. But what are you going to do? Well, you have to have a talk to them. So I took him out and all, and I give him a high five. I said, buddy, when you get home, Dad's going to reward you for doing exactly what you were taught to do, standing up for what's right and fighting back against bullies. I got to jump in, Peter, because I have an almost identical story. My son, before the age of 16, when he started buying into all the woke ideology, he was a great kid. Grade two, sure enough, bully in the playground, Starts a fight, and he defends himself. And the woke principle suspends him for two days. Exactly. So what did I say to my son? I said, you know what? You can spend the next two days playing video games. I did the exact same thing with him. I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself. But that's 100 % wrong. That's that mindset. And we've hit something really important here, Peter, because we've been talking about how the liberals, They think they know how to spend our money better than we do. Yeah. They think society owes them something, but it goes beyond that. We're supposed to lay down and take it when people run roughshod over our rights. And they actually think that that makes sense. Can you explain that? Well, it comes back from that teaching in school because they were literally taught irregardless of how much you're bullied, right? so if you fight back Juno Beach, and he was quite adamant that violence solved some things. And my dad was a tank commander, eighth Canadian Cezars, in Canada. And he convinced me that violence solved some things. So, and it has to be measured. And kids in school, when we grew up in school, man, we solved 90 % of our problems out behind the school. And if somebody was bullying you, bullying you, they were the one down getting a strap or they were the one getting booted out for a few days. And the teacher said, well, how this happened? For the last over 40 years, irregardless of who starts the fight, everybody gets punished. So all those generations were brought up. I can't fight back against tyranny or I'm going to be punished. I can't fight back against the bullies. And the bullies who don't pay a price for being a bullies have now made their way into management in boardrooms all across Canada and all through upper echelons of government. And they've never paid a price for it as a young person and now they do the same thing to people all through their lifetime. And the bulk of those people you'll find out have turned out to have a liberal mindset. Not only are they a bully. They know that they can bully people and get away without ever having to pay a price. Does no one, no one give them a bloody nose or split their lip when they were a kid when they really needed to come to them. So that whole generation that you and I grew up with with that mindset, they've been subconsciously trained not to fight back. And it's a huge issue. My youngest daughter's 30 years old when she went to Queens. And they gave her a serious brainwashing to be a liberal. And she got all excited one day. And she called me up. She said, Dad, I just got a raise. raise, it's an extra $800 a month, and I just went from short term to permanent on a staffing thing. And they said, well, good news, kid. I said, you're about to become a conservative. She said, I don't think so. I said, well, after you get that paycheck, I said, you give me a call. And she said, yeah, I've got it all spent. I know where that $800 a month's going to go and all excited, right? Well, everything was all said and done, man. She got to keep $15 out of the 800 because they started all the deductions and stuff, and she called me up. She was in a panic. She was in tears. She said, what the hell is all this? I said, well, all the socialist garbage that you want to have paid for, I said, who the hell do you think pays for it? I said, now you're paying. So all this stuff that you thought was so good and free, now you're paying for it. And now I said, whether you realize you're going to start converting to a conservative set and you're going to realize the money that you work to make, you're going to get to decide, you're going to want to decide how to spend it, and you're going to deal with a bunch of people who think they know how to spend your money better than you do. And you can just look what's happened here in Canada since 2015. Right now, we're paying, I think we're paying a thousand million dollars a week in interest payments in Canada. And I'd like to talk, rather than say a billion, people have lost track of how much a billion. It's $1 ,000 million. We pay right now $1 ,000 million a week in interest payments in Canada on debt. And the bulk of that debt, the new debt was brought in place by liberals who have that thought processes. They don't care. It's like Justin Trudeau said, you know, we take on debt so you don't have to. And like people have, I get frustrated sometimes, and that's why I wrote the book. So hopefully here's what will happen. Someone will pick up that book, and there's enough humor in there, and there's enough good old boy stories in there that a lot of times using humor and talking about some things that are funny, you can slip through a person's, we all set up walls where we have gotten into dissonance, where things that we believe in, irregardless of how much proof you put in front of me that that's not true, it doesn't matter, you can't sink in. Because we put up a subconscious wall. And through humor in a book like that, I'm hoping that some of those messages in that book will slip through, because once it's in your subconscious, it's in there. And the number one thing in that book I want people to do is just learn to start questioning everything that they're told. Don't get me wrong. Well, when I was a game warden, when I was carrying a gun for the government, I basically authorized to shoot people if you had to, is I didn't question a lot. But I ended up with when my oldest son got cancer. And, you know, four different doctors down here had misdiagnosed the boy. And what ended up, it ended up killing him. And it was the same cancer that killed Terry Fox. And if you go find out today that type of cancer, they're not looking for a cure because in the United States, only 250 people a year get that cancer. There's no money in a cure. There's no money in a cure what killed Terry Fox. There's no money in a cure will kill my oldest fellow. And so I started to question everything. And the more I questioned stuff, the more I realized like, well, that's BS. Hey, You know, my dad was a military guy, and he grew up taking orders. But then he spent a year on the Gaza Strip, right? And I remember him coming back. He put his best friend, he picked up what was left of his best friend, drove over a landmine in front of him, put him in a mail bag. And I remember when he'd come back home, he said, you know, he said, everything that I was told when I was over there, you know, especially as he get older, has been proven to be a lie. And he said, there is no solution to what's happening over there. And he said, you know, I buried a couple of my best friends over there for nothing. And so dad actually started the question some of what was being told by the government. And because I worked inside provincial government for 29 years, I can categorically tell your audience that we lied to the public every single day, every single day with the Department of Lands of course, and they converted the Department of Natural Resources. And we didn't always lie outright. Mostly we lied by omission. If the story took place, we would tell you the 10 % that made the government look good and intentionally omit the 90 % that if you knew what was really going on, you'd be at politician's doors with torches and pitchforks for some of the stuff that they were doing. So we lied for 29 years. And I was a father just with my head down trying to make ends meet over the years. And I was involved in multiple business things. And don't get me wrong, I had more fun than a man should be allowed to have in my lifetime. The career I had was just an amazing career. And then I did that, you know, I started a film company and I did Hunt Fish television series for three years with my son and daughter. And that was just an absolute ride of an adventure. But, you know, what you learn while you're doing that is most people in general are the same, to be honest with you. We just want to look after our family as best we can. We want to live in peace and quiet. We don't want to be pastured. We don't want to have idiots telling us what to do on an on -stop basis. We'd like to be able to make enough money that we can afford the groceries and pay the bills and take some trips and do some things. And everybody has their own way of getting there. But unfortunately for the people that want to do that, you know, I always believed if I work harder, I'll add more. And the government says, yes, but we have some of our friends over here that aren't, you know, they don't want to work seven days a week. They only want to work five and they want to spend the weekend playing. And I used to think, well, you know, I remember friends would come to me and say, well, why don't you play softball and stuff? because I'm not financially independent, man. My wife and kids are doing without things. I don't have time to play leftover league hockey and ball. I mean, I don't mean to hurt people's feelings, but if you're in the leftover leagues as a man, I grew up, I was thought that if you're doing that stuff and you're wondering where the money's coming from and you can't cover off your bills, man. You're not living up to what you should be doing as a man. And so all these different things just keep popping up. And, you know, it's a wonder I'm not a bobblehead because I spend so much time just shaking my head over the nonsense I hear on a daily basis. And when my wife was working, she worked in cancer clinical trials. She only had time driving back and forth to work to listen to mainstream media news, right? Or the CBC, some of this stuff. And most people are so burnt out today that when they come home from work, they don't have time to do the research that I forced myself to do. I got one of them guys for years and years, I was living on six hours of sleep. When I was doing the film stuff, I was working seven days a week for basically three years in a row. I never took a break. It's what we were doing was so much fun. It always felt like a break anyway. But I dedicated myself to doing research. And now that I realize, for example, that I can't listen to CBC, I just can't. They're a full -on propaganda and for the a liberal government. They were bribed with just under $700 million in the last elections to make sure that the liberal party got in power. I don't trust a word that comes out of the mouth. Provincial government here in Nova Scotia, like I say, I thought I was naive enough to think I could get inside the system in politics and make changes. And then I realized that the level of corruption, the level of manipulation. I mean, party systems broken. And so most of my friends still tell me, you work tired your whole life, you're retired, why you just go have fun? Man, down deep, I'm a real warrior. I'm descended from 2 ,000 years of Celtic warriors that said, no, we're not taking another shit anymore, part of my language. I mean, that's it. And so because I was taught to fight back against bullies as a kid, I fought them back my whole life. And it cost me a lot of scars, broken nose. My nose is not quite straight anymore. One ear is a little different side from the other from being kicked in the head so many times. But what happens to that, I took a lot of beatings for standing up for what was right, right? Because I didn't care how big you were. I mean, if I could give you a black eye, even if I took bad beating from you, you left me alone afterwards because it wasn't worth it to you. So I realized that irregardless how big you are and how big your opponent is, it's still always worth it to fight back. And I taught that to my kids. And I've got a lot of friends that are swinging around of that way of thinking. The problem being, it was like dad in the military, he was just lied to continuing. And even up until his death sometimes, Dad would argue with me about something that he had seen in the news. And I said, Dad, I was there. I'm the scene. I was there. What you just saw on the news is categorically 180 degrees opposite to what actually just happened because I was there. Now, the advantage today is people have cell phones. And it's hard to hide the truth. It's kind of like, you know, the shooting at someone, the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Imagine if it was like back in the JFK days, we didn't have cell phones and we didn't have audio tracks. It's like I've read your report on that audio breakdown, right? And what happens is more and more people are starting to question the narrative. And so hopefully through my book, I provided people with enough resources that they could say, oh, yeah, yeah, well, that doesn't sound good, but you know, like I said, Dad and I would argue about things, and at the time, the internet wasn't around, and I didn't have a data that I could give him, but he'd say, don't talk so damn foolish, man, he said, they're not going to lie about something big like that. Well, then I start doing some research and history and find out that the government, you know, I look at World War II, and I look at the Reichstag incident where I believe Hitler burnt down their old paranormal building in order to help start a war. I look at all these things that happen over history, and if you can do some research and be open -minded, right? I mean, it's not heard if you're open -minded to start to change your perception of what you're being told. And I just would recommend that anybody just, you know, if you hear it on the news, right off the bat, get online and start doing some research and don't use Google for your research tool. Google's been fully co -opted, but, I mean, it's, you know, even last week here in Canada, Facebook started knocking people off and giving them suspensions. I saw an actual suspension where somebody had, with somebody happy birthday. And they're a hard conservative, knock them off Facebook for two days for their post. We just, and we just had a 28 -year -old man in the UK arrested For posting, Facebook. Yeah, well, with B -63, if Bill C -63 passes in Canada with their new Attorney General, it was a radical nut job, by the way, it'll be the same thing here in Canada. And I wouldn't be surprised with Bill C -63 going through that they will do everything they can to shut down your site. Oh, I'm sure they'll try. Now, I want to respond to that one because before I was a freedom fighter and an independent journalist, I was a web developer. So I like to say they pissed off the wrong guy. Let them try because I've set this up in such a way that they have zero jurisdiction over where my site is posted. Perfect. They can try to block it through some of the internet service providers in Canada, and I will just send it an email to all of my subscribers telling them how to get around that. Perfect. Good luck. I told them, I said that the only way they're ever going to silence me is to kill me. Well, yeah. And so here's the thing about it, right? So I'm a firearms expert. I was an honor safety instructor. I was a federal firearms instructor, master instructor. I've been hunting and handling firearms since I was six years old. And I'm not bad at it, right? I'm relatively good. I can still hit a briefcase at a thousand yards. So, and there's a bunch of additional training I took over, over and beyond what I took officially as a game ward. And I'm also a trapper. I'm a bunch of, I'm just a bunch of things. And I've got a skill set for mostly these people know that you can't, if you push me, I'm pushing back. If you hit me, I'm going to hit you harder. And I'm a peace -loving man, basically, but like I said, I grew up. I cannot be pushed around. I don't care who you are. It doesn't matter what you do, right? I don't care if you're 400 pounds. You can't defend your eye. You can't defend you outside of your knee. There's just a whole bunch of things. So I have a special skill set, and as a result of that, they tend to leave me alone. So, but a lot of people aren't that way, and a lot of people aren't retired yet and they're afraid to say what needs to be said for fear of retribution and the retribution comes down hard and fast and it's much like uh you saw a meme there recently and somebody said why do you why do you why would you hit a fly with a sledgehammer well it's not for the fly that you kill is for the other flies that are watching and they go oh that's that's what's happening you're in can and that's what happened through COVID. That's what happened to the Coots 4. Yes. Right? That's what happened to Jeremy McKenzie. That's what happened to a lot of different people. But the reality of it is, is for the real fighters, they came back, and they took a beating through the process. But now, right, when the people that stand up and take a beating and then come back, their voices become heard all across Canada. So when you and I talked in the past. You met me, I think, originally when I did that video about the forest fires down in Nova Scotia. Yes. And I went after the province when we put together that team to fight fires. And the province said, no, we're not hiring you to hire you guys to do it. So I got a call from Ryder Fulmec. And Ryanor Fulmick, for anybody who doesn't know, he sued Volkswagen and he sued Deutsche Bank for corruption. And they were class action suits. And And he won, multi -billion -dollar suits for the people he represented. And he called me after that interview, I wonder what, know what was going on in Canada. And him and I behind the scenes had an opportunity to talk about what I talk about in the last chapter in my book. How can we solve this problem in politics? Now, can we fix this stuff? And he said to me, he said, I will use every asset that's available to me to push what you're doing if you can make this happen because he said, I've gone over this with my team. And from listening to you, he said it appears to be the only viable solution short of a civil war. And so what can work and what could people do? Well, that's one of the key things in my book. I tell stories through that book and I complain about a lot of stuff. But ultimately, in the end, I have a solution. And I guess kind of, that's what makes the book. That's probably why it made it number one in political ideologies on Amazon for short. And people need to realize on Amazon, you can bounce up and down. You can be number one today, seven million down tomorrow and then back up. It just depends on how your sales work. But the reality is, is there is a solution. We've found it, I'm working now with the team of engineers with should have we talked about that I talk about in the book. And our goal down here is to give control of government in Nova Scotia back to the people of Canada by electing enough independence to force the government into a minority position where they can't do anything without approval of independence. And the independents are only responsible to the people who vote them in, not corrupted parties. I know federally people think Pierre Pollyev is going to save Canada. He's not. It's not going to happen. People want someone to ride in on a white horse and save them. There are no white horses. There's nobody on horseback. The only person on horseback that I know of for me is me. I shaved him here yesterday, right? Because people are waiting for someone else and there is no somebody else. And you've got to get up off your ass, off your chair. It's like when you were a kid going to work. And I wanted something extra. When I wanted a bicycle, dad said, nothing keeping you're from mowing lawns doing whatever you want to do. Go do it. I don't have the money to give you. Besides, it's welfare. Go earn it yourself. So I just did everything. And that came from a mindset of an attitude of being taught exactly like you said, Will, it said. The world doesn't owe you anything. It doesn't own you free housing. It doesn't own you food. It doesn't own you air. It doesn't even owe you clean water. It owes you nothing that you're not willing to fight for to go get for yourself or work for. You're not willing to work. It was a book that mom read to me as a kid, and that's the type of book that should be in school rather than how to have sex with vegetables. It's called a Little Red Hand. You might have read it to your kids, right? Little Red End, you don't work, you don't eat, right? I mean, every kid in grade primary should be taught that There's a couple of other really good books there too, but that little red hand, if that gets instilled in children, they will grow up knowing the world doesn't owe me anything. Because as soon as you start thinking the world owes you something, then you start develop that NDP liberal Marxist Democrat mindset that the world owes me something and I'm going to take it from the haves because I consider myself to be a hat -not, and I'm going to look after me and my have -not buddies, but there's not a single thing in the world, keeping them from becoming a have, and then reaching in their own pocket instead of mine and yours and helping their friends have. They won't do it, mostly because they're lazy and they're uneducated on the way the world's actually supposed to work. Yes. Not some crazy utopia. Sorry, I get rambling on here. That's quite right, Peter. That's quite right. That's part of the charm of your book is that you just, it's almost in times a stream of consciousness thing, but you're saying the things that all of us are thinking. And I think that's part of the reason why your book was so popular. Now, we've talked a lot about conservatives and our values and what most of us would just say is common sense. But I want to flip it around and talk a little bit about the left for a bit. ESGDI, You talk about this in your book. It's infected our government. It's infected our corporations. It's infected our schools. And getting back to this concept, I'm going to use my terminology again. A liberal is somebody who thinks a society is responsible for the individual. What we're creating with this woke insanity is parasites. People who don't have to. They're just going to suck things off of the society. But once the parasites reach a certain percentage, it's no longer sustainable. There aren't enough workers to support the parasites. So, a two -part question, if you had to put us on a, you know, well remember that, that doomsday clock when we were kids about nuclear war, a four minutes, a minute, okay, in terms of that kind of terminology, where or we activate a whole lot more of us, as you were talking about. We've got to get off our asses and fix this. Or we've got to convert a bunch of people who are sitting on the fence. So, Doomsday Clock, where are we? How do we fix it? And do it in time. So the Doomsday Clock, we're down to, I think actually on the nuclear clock, we're down to about 30 seconds before midnight right now, to be honest with you. I don't know if they're at DevCon, whatever DevCon they're at, but it's the worst it's ever been. Worse than what happened with the Cuban Missile Crisis, actually. We could get into that a bit later. The Russians are testing tactical nuclear weapons right now. It's crazy. We've got Israel and nuclear power that's being ganged up on by all of the Islamic countries around them. It's not a good situation. We've got China threatening certain places. But I'm talking here about our own Canadian society and this woke mentality that's creating this parasitical situation. How long do we have before it just rumbles? We're actually right on the very precipice right now. And I'll give you an example. Well, just since 2018, we've taken in 2 .5 million immigrants that refuse to assimilate. That's more people in the entire population of Nova Scotia, P .E .I. Newfoundland and New Brunswick. We have a housing crisis here in Nova Scotia that's completely unsustainable. We have, you know, just the cost of food or a level of inflation. All of these things are caused by short -sighted politicians who a lot of them really, they're not really not competent enough to be mulled by law and to tell you the truth. And they get in there because a lot of people, and this goes back to DEI hiring, diversity, equity, and inclusion, which basically started here in Canada's full force with the federal government in the mid -90s when I believe a Sikh gentleman wanted to wear his headdress and carry a dirk. And liberal judges had started to infiltrate the system and they made a Supreme Court ruling that he could do that. And after that, the door opened in all federal departments for DEI hires. And today, we're living with 30 years of DEI hires. So when you hire anybody for any reason based on anything other than meritocracy, you have just taken a shovel and started digging your own grave. And right now, all across government, federal, provincial, and many boardrooms, People are getting hired to build quotas, not based on their ability to do a job or their level of merit by the amount of boxes that they tick. And I know this sounds funny, but down here in Nova Scotia, provincial hiring policy, if I went in the more, I'm a 66 -year -old man that can't discriminate against me for age if I go in to get hired. And if I really wanted to get the job, I could go in and say that I'm considering a sex change. And it wouldn't even have to be, I could say, look, I'm interesting getting a sex change to a beaver or a muskrat. And I could go in wearing a dress and high eels. And so when I grew up in the 90s, people that were thinking that way, they got a visit from two male nurses in a panel of ambit windows. And you got put in a straightjack and then you were shifted off to what we used to call the NS here in Attenham, Dartmouth. And you've got a 30 -day psychiatric examination. Today, it's kind of like, you know, I look at people heading up in the U .S. military. Those people are running the show now. And so what happens is one of the very first things that has to happen. And that's why we need enough independence in to be able to do it because every political party in Canada at every level has bought into the DEI woke nonsense because they have to. Even, for example, you know, when Pierre Pauliev wins in the next election, party policies won't allow him to attack 90 % of what needs fixing. And DEI hires have to grind to a halt. And then what has to happen is all the people that did get hired based on diversity, equity, and inclusion, they have to go back and be tested. And I don't care if they're there for 10 years. If they can't meet basic competence, he's unfortunately, it's been nice to know you, but you're going to have to find yourself another career somewhere. because D .E. These hiring policies stop today. And because party politicians are so power hungry, if they find themselves in a minority position, they will have to go along and pass that legislation or they're going to find themselves out on the street because you can vote non -confidence and take them back to an election. Good luck going back to an election saying, we don't want to be fair. We don't want to hire people based on their level of competency. I mean, you can be a complete moron. Today, you can be the deputy minister of a key department running billions of dollars in budgets. And I look all across Canada and I see it happening on every level. So DEI has to come to a crashing end. And the problem is, though, is those couple of generations of kids that were taught not to fight back. And they're teaching their kids today. So if they're 40 years old today, they've got kids that are young teenagers taught not to fight back too. we've got generations of people in Canada and not to fight back. So I've learned a couple of things I've learned. One thing, I've been in a room where there's a couple hundred people and no one will speak up, and I stood up and spoke up. And all of a sudden, you see a lot of heads turning and nod and going, yeah, because sometimes you need someone like myself willing to say what needs to be said, and all of a sudden, the people that are thinking the same way look around and going, well, I think just like him, but I'm not, I'm not, if he's going to say it, and then the next thing, heads are nodding, and people start clapping, and then you find out that over half the people in the room think that way, but they've been conditioned through the news and mainstream media to think, well, nobody else thinks that way, or you're a racist, you're a misogynist, you're a bunch of different things. So those two things have to come to an end. Secondly, we have to categorically put the brakes on 100 % on immigration until the housing crisis gets fixed. You cannot continue to bring in a million people annually with no homes for them to live in. Nova Scotia right now is 37 tent towns. I grew up in Port Oxford as a kid, man, there was no such, we didn't even have food banks. Church looked after you or friends and family. And you were, If you weren't out working, I remember a guy come up the street one day, a grown man with kids, and he was a snowstorm, and he was out shoveling driveways. And I said to my dad, I said, Dad, what's that guy doing out shoveling driveways? He said, he's got a couple of kids, and I said, I know he's just got laid off on a job, and he won't take money. And I was going out to shovel. He said, you're not shoveling today. I'm paying him to shovel the driveway. Because the guy wouldn't take a hand out, and he still had pride in himself enough that he didn't want to be your typical liberal, going, gimme, gimme, gimme. He was going, no, I'll earn my way. And so that's almost gone. The only way to get it back is through the school system, but the school system has been taken over by what I refer to as woke lib darts. And here in Nova Scotia, because it's priority policy, to allow that to happen. And that's party policy in all governments across Canada today. the ministers of education. want the, I'm just going to lean on the truth. And wherever the truth takes me, it's going to take me. And if I end up in jail because of speaking it one day, well, then, you know, I'll talk the guards into some truth. And one day maybe they'll slip me in file and I'll get out. But, I mean, that's, I'm just humorous. But the reality it is, that's where it has to start. And it has to start with Paris teachings or kids. The very best thing you can do is turn off CBC, turn off the news. Go start doing your own independent research, don't use Google, use Yandex or use quant or use you know, even duck, duck co, duck, duck, go can't be relied on anymore. But there's all kinds of alternatives. If you're using Google for your search engine, you're being lied to. I mean, go look at first three, four, five searches. Go look at number 200 and go, okay, why'd they hide that from me? So in my book, I gave a resource at the back of the book. I mean, you go read half of those books that I recommend in there. You're going to be a different person. And I'm going to tell you something. People read that book. You know, in my book, I talk about my 98 -year -old lady friend that I'd go up and have tea with her once a week. And matter of fact, we lost her here two weeks ago since I wrote the book. And she said, I'm glad I'm on my way out and not on my way. And I don't know how you young people are going to to this. And she was in shock over the last few years because I would ask her questions and let her figure it out on her own. And in my book, everything in the book is about bringing up topics to get you to start questioning the narrative. And once you start questioning the narrative, like safe and effective, right, and you know, given experimental mental gene therapies to little kids that aren't going to be subject to any issues, then you start going, well, if they lied about that, what else did they lie about? And so what happens is it's a cascading effect of getting people to start convincing themselves because you can't convince people who don't want to be convinced. I read an old thing years ago by Dale Carnegie said, a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. And the simplest way to get people to change their thought process is get asked them questions, open -ended questions. Because the question is a funny thing. It's not me telling you what to think. It's not doing anything. It's me saying, have you thought about this? And then they'll go do it. And one day they'll go, well, damn it. I don't like what he, you know, I don't like this, but what he's saying is actually true. And If they lied about this, what else do they lie about? And you cannot start to do the research and start to realize like, man, I've been lied to a lot over my entire life, right? And I was part of it. So when I'm telling you that the government lies to you every day, I'm not making that up, right? There's no benefit from me. I guarantee you there's no benefit for me telling you now. There's nothing but grief going to, like a lot of, even this interview, I'm going to get grief from this all over the place, right? And from that book, I expect to get a ton of it. But I don't really care. You stick your head up. You're going to get a few tomatoes. But I'll tell you this, Will, there's a bunch more people across Canada like me and you. Like you're a freedom fighter. There's a bunch of them are. And all they need to do is see enough people stick their head up and go, well, you know what? I agree with him. And one day, here's the thing about Canadians, we're kind of more docile and good matter, but still will only be pushed so far. And you look back in the two world wars we were involved in. When you push Canadians too far and they decide to fight back, but you better look out because, and I can tell you when I say Canada is on the precipice right now, the one thing that happened with COVID -19 is when all that pressure came, all these people that were freedom prider started to pop to the top. people who like me just want to be left alone, just leave me alone. I'm fine. I'll get by just great. Get out of my way. Stop putting roadblocks in front of me in business and stuff. And when I get a chance to do good for people, I will. But anyway, if that's a long way around this, you got to stop and you or I'll go rambling here for hours, buddy. No, I'm always interested in the full story. I don't do sound bites. I don't do 10 minute interviews. So I do still have two questions for you, Peter. Now, one has to do with something you touched on earlier and we discussed it in the length in our last interview, but it's so important. I want to discuss it some more. And that's this initiative you're working on for independence running for office in your province. We already have one territory in Canada that does not have a party system. It's two. You're right. It is two. Yes. Yep. It's none of it. And what's the other? It's, uh, well, it's not the Northwest Territories anymore. It's, uh, it's noon of it. And no, actually, yeah, NWT. Northwest Territories and none of it. Right. And they don't have a party system. No, all independence. Right. Which personally, I think, is absolutely brilliant because you elect a representative to represent your writing, not a party. Exactly. And you're working towards this in Nova Scotia. You're working and make this happen. And I'm 100 % behind what you're doing. I would love to see Nova Scotia be the first province in Canada and do away with the party system so that people can see the benefits of that. So give us an update on where that's out. Okay. So what happened is in 2021, we have an independent down here right out, who stood up to the province, stood up to the Premier, who's basically a Manchurian candidate. He's no more conservative than Justin Trudeau. Anyway, so what happened was, she stood up and got thrown out of the bus and went to be a very successful independent and won her seat with 62 % of the vote in the last election. So we proved that independence, not only when she got, and then she got reelected. So she as an independent and then and then got elected and she'll very likely win the next election. So what happened is, is what we're trying to do now is we're trying to get 55 independents in, but we had a by -election here recently. And we found out that in 2021, the province changed the legislation. So that in order for an independent to put their papers in, they have to have to be able to access a chartered accountant that's qualified by the province to do audits. Now, there's over 4 ,000 accountants in Nova Scotia, and the government only has 142 on a list that are able to do audits for you before they'll, and they have to sign on as your CPA, before they'll accept your papers to run. So we had a brave gentleman down in Victor East, just down in there close to where our premier's from. And we called all 142 of those candidates, those candidates, those CPAs, and none of them were willing to sign on and do the job. So he couldn't get his name on the ballot. And so two and a half weeks ago, our society met with one of the top legal firms in Alifax. And later that week, they sent in a letter to elections Nova Scotia, advising them that that's a charter violation. Provincial legislation is a straight up charter violation because they can't put roadblocks in front of you before they'll accept your papers to run. And in Nova Scotia, if you don't spend over $5 ,000 on a campaign, you don't get audited anyways. Plus election Nova Scotia audits it. So we have a problem in of Scotia, that there's not enough chartered accountants to represent anybody who wants to run for office. And it's a roadblock that we only found out by accident. And I'm glad that we did. It was one of those things we stumbled into. So that's a legal roadblock for our independence. But behind the scenes, our society's been working nonstop. I attend meetings from one end to the province to the other. And literally, irregardless of how many people are in a room, we explain to them what the goals are of, and the advantages are to them of having independent candidates. People go from being cross -legged, crossed arms sitting back in a chair to lean in a head to being excited. Then they don't want to leave after the meeting to go, this will actually work. And it'll work if enough people believe it's work. Forty -five percent of us didn't vote in the last Nova Scotian election. And the reason why they don't will is because they're like most people to go, why bother? They're going to get in, do what they want to do anyways. They can't be held responsible. Well, with an independent, you can tie their hands with a performance -based contract. That if they don't do what they promise to do in a timely fashion, you can actually sue them or breach a contract and fire their ass. And that'll be the first time you'd be able to do that in Canada. So you stand up there and you make bold promises, known to me that you're lying, we'll fire you. Now, in Canada, people need to know this. I want your audience to understand this. There was a case in the 90s called the Little Child case, and someone tried to hold a politician responsible or accountable for their lives. And the court ruled that no politician in Canada is accountable to the voters. They don't have to return your phone calls. Once you elect them, they can do, say, anything they want, and you cannot hold them accountable until it's time for a new election. But we're going to change that. And we're changing that. And I tell you, I want to give credit where credits do. That idea came from Brian Peckford. Brian Peckford said, Pete, you've got to find a way to tie their hands. And then, so we went to work on it. And then he said, well, There's a couple of key things you need. And he's like -minded, like me, actually. He actually liked the book, too, by the way. I sent him a copy. And he said, one of the things is that you have to be able to tie their hands. And if you don't, they're going to do the exact same thing. See, independence are independent by nature. So it's like if I hire you will with a performance contract, here's what I want you to do. You need to do this, this and this in this time frame. And if you don't do it, I'm firing you. And we'll sue you and we'll put you out of office. And so for the first time in political history in Canada, you're going to be able to hold a politician responsible and fire them. And people say, well, you'll have a lot of elections. Well, no, you won't because it's our society. We're just a teaching society. We don't pick candidates. We don't do any of that stuff. We just go into communities, teach them. Here's what you guys need to do. And so what happens when they do that, they're looking for someone that has respect into the community whose handshake still means something, has a history and not lying. And it's getting in politics for the right reason. They're not in to turn it into a career. One of the things, we're hoping that all the independents when you do a four -year term, get in, be a wrecking ball, fix what needs to be fixed, and go back to your life. This is not a career. You don't need to be like politician jammed sideways in the trough for 20 years, right? I mean, you've got people got to understand, like at a federal base out on federal basis in Canada, the average politician has to make $200 grand a year. And if he can get his full six -year term, he gets $100 ,000 a year with cost of living increases from here on in. And people need to understand both provincially and federally. None of them took pay cut during COVID. Everybody got their raisins. It's just sickening. And of course, Trudeau certainly wants to extend the date of the next election by a week to see that a number of these people will reach their six years. And so what should happen in the real world is it should be extended a week, not short into a week. And if you don't get reelected, then you don't get a pension. Why would you, okay, so you went to a job, you failed, right? Your bosses, the voters fired you because you're a failure. We don't want you back. And we're going to give you a hundred grand a year in a pension because you're a failure. And that's how DEI works. And that's how ESG works. And that's how liberals think. They think I'm owed something now. I work five years. I'm owed 100 grand for the rest of my days. And that's a really messed up mindset. And that's all comes back to the book. Right? Right. I'm a, you know, I like to call my, I'm not, Well, actually I am. I'm a bit of a redneck. One of the things I talk about in there, you know, I mean, my wife now, Kathy and I've been together the last 23 years. The first time we went, I drank wine out of a plastic cup my whole life, basically, foam cups, whatever, are out of the bottle, tell you the truth. And so we went to a fancy restaurant one day and somebody was holding out a bottle of wine. I said, yeah, it looks pretty good. I grabbed the bottle of wine. I'm trying to pull from. My wife's kicking me under the table, right? So basically, I'm not as redneck as I used to be. I'm trying to become a little more refined. But the reality of it is, is, man, I don't put on airs, and I've hung around with, you know, I've spent time with billionaires, and ultimately people are people, and either you're brain dead or you're not. And I find the harder you are to the the thick of your skull is when it comes to reality, and it's hard to get through to them. And so I just try to ask questions now. I'm not going to fix them. Me and you aren't going to fix them, right? But there's enough of us that understand the conservative thought process that hopefully we can get them to ask enough questions to start going, okay, this is not working. This is an obvious lie. Maybe we should try. Maybe we should. I hate to admit that he's saying something right and I'm not going to admit it, but maybe I'll start doing something a little different. But the way I look it is this. Either people with that mindset win at the federal level, the next election and provincial level, or we will lose Canada. We have a four -year window of opportunity to have to turn And we may be, it may be too late. I hate to say that. Well, I'm not going down without a fight. But what is worth? I don't think it is. I think we are going to turn it around. I think we are going to win our country back. It's going to be a long, hard fight to get there. So, Peter, we've covered a real gamut here. And folks, if you haven't read the book, the Redneck conservative, do read it. It's a fantastic book. I think your book is so popular because you did bluntly say what so many of us are thinking. I am, as far as I know, the only successful conservative journalist in this country who didn't start out either with another media company or wasn't a celebrity. I'm not Jordan Peterson, right? I'm not Joe Rogan. And yet, I've had interviews that have exceeded 300 ,000 views. And I think it's because I'm not afraid to say exactly what I think. And a lot of what I think, like you, reflects what many other people think. But a lot of people, and one of the questions I asked you, right at the beginning of this interview, is that we've got this society now where conservatives are afraid to say what they think. And it's gotten so bad, it's not just that they're afraid of offending the left. A lot of them don't care about that. They're afraid they'll offend their conservative friends. And we can't fix this country if people won't stand up. Take a stand. Say what they think. I would like your final thoughts on that for our viewers. Well, the biggest crisis we've had in the last four years is moral cowardice. It wasn't COVID. It was moral cowardice. It's what happens is I just, look, you have to step up, look around. I guess here's one of the ways I look at it. I'm 66. A hundred years from now, every single person we know is going to be dead, me, you, everybody we know, everybody we know. It's going to be gone, right? I'm not going to my grave without saying what needs to be said. I will not have my grandchildren remember me as the guy who sat back, sipping whiskey, smoking cigars, and fishing and hunting, doing the stuff he loved when I should have been in the fight, knee deep, trying to get stuff done. And so people need to look at conservatism as even 30 years ago, a lot of, you know, there wasn't that big a difference between liberals and conservatives to tell you the truth. But now what people call a conservative in many cases would have been a hard left -leaning liberal 30 years ago. Some of the ideas that, for example, people on the left are talking about now literally, you'd have been laughed out of a room for saying it. It's like a universal basic income. So what ends up happening is a lot of people that think they're conservatives really aren't. They actually should be over with the liberal party. They're in the wrong party. And a lot of people say, well, you know, nobody's going to get elected with solid conservative values anymore. Well, I don't think that's true. You're, you know, conservative value, excuse me, they're not politically correct in many cases, but they're still correct. And political correctness was actually started in Russia where you had a, you know, you knew what you were saying was a lie, and but you said it anyways, and people went along to get along. Well, my entire life, I never went along to get along with anybody over nothing. And I was always described as a hockey stick and the spokes in the wheels of whatever someone was trying to push. Oh, my God, McCaicier, he's going to question some of this stuff, right? Well, yeah, because those questions needed to be asked. So we just need conservatives to get back to real conservative values and go, no, I don't have to promote this to get elected because that's, well, if we don't support that, we're not going to get elected. Well, that's not really true. People want a real, you know, they want real choices. And the only way you're going to get real choices, you can't do it with a party. Because I can tell you right now, all the parties can't back up on those positions. They've painted themselves into a corner. It's like the DEI hires, how are you going to go back from them and tell all these people, well, they'll say, because the left is vicious. See, conservatives, we run on a moral code. There's a lot of things we won't do. When you're liberal and your NDP, there's nothing you won't do to stay in power. Literally, there's nothing you won't do to stay in power. And a conservative says, well, man, we can't say or do that. We'll be as bad as that. Well, people have to remember, you can't lead if you don't win, but you still have to maintain a moral compass. And so I don't know what the answer is other than I'm just trying to get people to start questioning everything. And the more they question people, the more people will say, well, this is insanity. I'm not partaking in this, right? I mean, it's like how many people following the right arrows in the malls for the last four years do you think were saved by them arrows? You know, I had people chase me down the aisle, say you're going the wrong direction. And I'm like going out. Okay. So in war, there's casualties. And I just look at them as a casualty and go, you know what? You're a victim of a PSIOP. It's all proven tactics being used against you. And for whatever reason, you know, I still see people here in Halifax wearing three masks. They're at a bus stop. It's like, you know, 90 degrees Fahrenheit out. They're lost. We're not going to fix it. So anyways, listen, I really appreciate you having me on. And if people want to find that book, by the way, they can go over to Amazon, get the digital copy or the soft copy. And I've got the rough copy of the audible version because I had a lot of people said, you know, Pete, I don't have time to read a book, kind of like you. They said, but if I'm in a car, he said, I'd love to hear it, because I got some folks that told me I got a bit of an accent. I don't hear it. But apparently I got a bit of an East Coast accent. Not bad, but I'm doing my own audio book. Like I'm not getting someone else to do it. So if you don't mind the way I talk and you can figure out half of what I'm saying, you might enjoy the audible book. And I hope to have that on the market here in the next, hopefully in the next two weeks. And then a bunch of countries around the world in different languages, but a bunch of countries aren't going to let it into their country because basically he tells you how to fix problems that's why haven't. And if you're a tyrannical government, you don't want that book in your country. I can tell you that right now. Anyway, look, I really appreciate you getting me on. It's been a real pleasure, Peter. And thank you for your time today. Thank you for writing this book. Thank you for just bluntly saying what so many of us are thinking. Yeah, well, you know what? What did the old, in Rome they used to have a saying all the time, and it was strength and honor, buddy. Right? Anyways, thanks very much.
