Podcast Introduction and Regulatory Discussion
00:00:17
Speaker
Welcome to another edition of And Another Thing, the podcast.
00:00:22
Speaker
that continues to set the bar in the world of podcasts. My name is Jody Jenkins. My name is Tony Clement. And I guess based on recent reports or an article I at least saw in the national post with some of the online
00:00:42
Speaker
brew haha that's going on with the current liberal government at the federal level is that podcast is an example like not not ours because I think you have to be in this at a certain level of revenue generation but podcast if they're at if they reach a threshold of revenue generation they have to
00:01:02
Speaker
Um, register themselves with CRTC. Is that, is that right? Yeah, I'm a bit confused. I confess. I'm a bit confused whether it's, I think the threshold is like $10 million, which obviously won't be any, we're not quite there, Jody. I don't know whether that's the server or the podcast. Like if we're, if we're hosted by Apple podcasts and Spotify and I heart, which we are.
00:01:32
Speaker
they would have to register and therefore do we come under their registration, you know what I mean? Interesting.
00:01:41
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. But it's, you know, meanwhile, the liberal government, oh, no, podcasts won't be affected. Social media won't be affected by C-11, the bill, the past, the online something act. And but yes, now, again, here we are. And the CRTC wants to regulate podcasts.
Sponsor Acknowledgments and Partnerships
00:02:04
Speaker
Yeah, it's an interesting time to be alive, as the millennials would say. They would say that. They do. They do say that.
00:02:14
Speaker
This show each week is brought to you by John Mutton and the crew at Municipal Solutions, their team, our presenting sponsors since day one. And I've lost, I know you keep track of this, I've lost track of how many episodes, but I believe we're on like, I know we're on 19 to 20, 21, 22. We've been coming up on four years.
00:02:38
Speaker
Yeah, I think we are coming up on four years. Yeah, you're right. You know what, I think October will be, I think this month is our fourth. Yeah. Is our fourth year. Yeah, we'll be going into our fifth year. Yeah, you're right. Four full years. Wow, that's crazy. So anyway, yeah, municipal solutions. We certainly appreciate their support. And I know you can share a little bit more about what they do.
00:03:00
Speaker
I would like to do that, Jody. We do indeed thank Municipal Solutions for their ongoing sponsorship. Of course, John Mutt and the gang are working hard as Ontario's leading MZO firm, development approvals, permit expediting, planning services, all with municipalities, engineering and architectural services with municipalities.
00:03:19
Speaker
minor variances, land severances, building permits. You got it. If you have these municipal solutions needs for municipalities, then John is your guy and you can reach them at municipal solutions.ca. Secondly, of course, on terrestrial radio, we have our terrestrial radio partner, huntersbayradio.com.
00:03:44
Speaker
88.7 FM every Saturday morning. They have a whole suite of podcasts, including yours truly. So do do take them in. There might be some good podcasts for you on that. And then we have our two new sponsors, Jodi. I'm very, very pleased to have these sponsors as part of our roster. Now, the first one is the Harris legacy dot CA. There's a new book about Mike Harris.
00:04:12
Speaker
that is just coming out. We're basically living in Mike Harris' Ontario today. It was actually 20 years ago today, Jodi, as we record this, that I lost my seat in the Ontario legislature. I was minister of health at the time, but this is 20 years ago today that Dalt McGinty was elected.
00:04:33
Speaker
Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. That was 2003. But this is about the Harris era, the Mike Harris era in Ontario. You can explore through this book, The Harris Legacy Reflections on a Transformational Premier. Essay contributors include David Frum, Jack Mintz,
00:04:54
Speaker
Uh, Gord Miller, who was the, uh, the first environment, uh, uh, officer, uh, David Hurley, uh, who's our, who's our, uh, you know, he's somebody that we, uh, we, we joust with because he's got a, apparently he's got a podcast. I don't know if you knew that. Uh, and, uh, it's all edited by Alistair Campbell.
00:05:16
Speaker
Go to the Harris Legacy dot CA and you can order yours, pre-order yours. I guess they're still in that stage right now. The Harris Legacy dot CA. And then finally, finally, finally, finally, if you enjoy this show, Jody, and I know you do, we think you'll love the podcast Not Reserving Judgment from our friends at the Canadian Constitution Foundation.
00:05:39
Speaker
which is a charity dedicated to a freer Canada. In each episode, the hosts, Josh DeHaas, Joanna Baron, and Christine Van Gein update you on the latest legal news, tell you about legal stories that you might've missed, and give their bad legal takes of the week, where they take a lighthearted look at legal opinions that didn't quite land. Not reserving judgment isn't just for lawyers. It's a show for all Canadians who care about their rights and freedoms.
00:06:10
Speaker
The hosts aren't afraid of controversial topics. In recent episodes, they've tackled so-called residential school denialism, Benjamin Netanyahu's constitutional reforms in Israel, and proposals to require parental consent for childhood gender transition. Find Not Reserving Judgment wherever else you get your podcasts. Download the latest episode today, Jodi. Oh, you really sold that? I did. You know, these Bentleys don't pay for themselves.
00:06:41
Speaker
It's my favorite new saying. It's, it's funny because I was just thinking as we were listing off the sponsors, reminds me of the old days when we had lots of sponsors. So I'd like to see that. Um, it'd be funny if we did like a 20 minute podcast where we had like 40 sponsors and that's all, that's all we did. Once you get to the last sponsor, we just, we'll see you next week. Well, Jody, we're out of time.
00:07:08
Speaker
Yeah, it's been it's been another great show. He's called it sponsors with Tony and Jody. You got it. Yeah. No, it's great to have these sponsors. You know, we've had to go ahead. We know we've had sponsors come and go, which is fine. That's the that's the way it works in podcast world.
Author Guests and Signed Copies
00:07:26
Speaker
But we seem seem to be attracting new sponsors, which is fantastic. Yeah. And I I'm looking at the Harris legacy dot CA right now and looks like an interesting book. I'm going to
00:07:37
Speaker
Once we're done this show, I'm actually going to check out, they've got some audio and video clips I want to check out. Oh, okay. Good. Yeah. Let me know what that's about. Yeah. So it's, uh, and we are going to have the editor, uh, Alistair Campbell on a future show. So, uh, we'll hear a lot more about it then too. And I wonder if we'll get an assigned signed copy of that book, each of us. I think we deserve that. Don't we?
00:08:02
Speaker
I don't want to mention any other authors that have been on our show that I have not received signed copies of their works, but I think if you, we had that guy, uh, that, uh, it was the former Caesar's officer. Remember him.
00:08:16
Speaker
Yeah. I'm not talking about that guy. I'm talking about, there's another guy that's been on our show a couple of times, but we'll leave it at that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I know who you're talking about. I know that, you know, that I know that, you know, and he knows that we know. Yeah. In fact, we should get him back on. I won't say who it is, but well, uh, we could try. I'm not sure he'd entirely willing.
00:08:46
Speaker
But maybe Warren can sell it. He's an author. You should get him back on. Yes, yes. I mean, I should just collect the, you know, I've been trying to think of how many books I have. Actually, I was trying to think of how many books I have that are actually signed by the author. And I can, I can think of two and they're actually golf books.
00:09:03
Speaker
One is the life story of Mo Norman, which was done by Tim O'Connor, who's been on our show. He's a good friend. And then the other one is the Mike Weir book by Lauren Rubinstein. So he signed that for me. I've actually played golf with Lauren before. We should get him on the show sometime.
00:09:27
Speaker
Well, and maybe I don't know whether you're
1972 Canada-Russia Summit Series Memories
00:09:30
Speaker
interested. I was at this very interesting event last week about the commemorating the 1972 Canada-Russia Summit Series, which culminated on September 28th, 1972 with the big goal by Paul Henderson. If you're of a certain age, you remember that it's an historic
00:09:51
Speaker
goal because we won the game six to five and we won the series, the eight game series as a result of that goal, which he scored with 34 seconds left, I think. I went to see, there's a book that it was, what am I trying to say? There was a documentary made of this called The Icebreaker, the 72 Summit series, which I saw the filming of. They showed the film.
00:10:21
Speaker
Uh, and it's based on a in part by a book by Gary Smith called ice war diplomat. And he was a diplomat in the, in the Canadian embassy in Moscow during the 72 summit series. And he's got some great stories about, uh, negotiating with the Soviets for this series. And there were 2,700 Canadian fans who made their way to Moscow to chair Canada on and, uh,
00:10:48
Speaker
They were way louder than the Russians in the stands, and they got into all sorts of trouble as well because they were considered the enemy of the people. Anyway, maybe we should get one of these folks on the show, too, because if you're of a certain age and maybe if you're not, this was the first real international hockey series. I mean, you talked about the Olympics, but we never sent
00:11:17
Speaker
are pros to the Olympics, right? In those days, we sent our amateurs and the Russians who had this system of having their pros as part of the Red Army or the Red Air Force or whatever, they would clean our clocks until this particular series, which everybody in Canada thought we were going to win the series 8-0, and we eked out a victory just in the last seconds. So it was really
00:11:47
Speaker
really changed the game of hockey and international play. And I was very fortunate to have Paul Henderson there at this event to whom I I've known for years previously.
Toronto Blue Jays Playoff Prospects
00:12:01
Speaker
And he still talked about the experience. It was it was it was really quite something to to relive that part of history again. Yeah, no, that's that's pretty cool. How old is he now? Henderson?
00:12:15
Speaker
Well, he'd be, uh, I guess in his seventies. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I don't know. Cause we had Marcel Dion on and he was, uh, he didn't play. Uh, he was like a 20 year old at the time, uh, just starting his NHL career, but he was one of the backup, uh, skaters, but he, he went to, he went to Moscow to cheer on the team and to be part of the team, even though he didn't play.
00:12:46
Speaker
Um, so we've had Marcel on, but if we could get Paul on or, or even, even one of the producers of this, uh, documentary, it would be quite interesting. I'm sure. Yeah. Well, you have your marching orders. Go get it done. Get it done. Um, speaking of staying with sports or speaking of sports, uh, the blue jays and the playoffs. Kind of a backdoor way to get in though. Right.
00:13:13
Speaker
I know they lost like they certainly didn't win their way in. They lost the game and then they celebrated. Yeah. It was so weird. But I mean, I guess, and look, anything can happen in the playoffs. But like, I guess to the fact that I look at it this way, because I'm a longtime Jays fan, I watch every single game. The fact that they're playing the twins, not Tampa in the first round does make me happy. But again, I know anything can happen. But
00:13:42
Speaker
you know, three-game series. I would assume, like, Gosman, Bassett, I don't see us losing to Minnesota, so. About all three are in Minnesota, right? Yep, yep.
00:13:55
Speaker
Yeah, because it's just the wild card. I looked at MLB.com, ranked the pitching staffs and the offensive lineups for all 12 teams that are in the playoffs. Now, the Jays, just because they've kind of underperformed,
00:14:17
Speaker
I'm just making sure I have it here. I wanted to bring it up again. But because they've underperformed offensively, the Jays were ranked, I believe, seven or eight. Yeah, eighth. By pitching side, the Jays are ranked second behind the Brewers.
00:14:34
Speaker
So Toronto is the only major league team with four starters who have logged at least 160 innings, that being Bassett, Barrios, Gosman and Kukuchi. So how's Gosman playing these days?
00:14:51
Speaker
Excellent. Okay. I mean, that's what I'm saying. Like I, I, Gosman and Bassett in a three game series, like I'm assuming it goes, I'm assuming Kevin Gosman pitches game one. I'm assuming Bassett pitches game two, and you don't even have to play Cape three. So yeah, yeah. We'll see. We'll see what happens. Personally, right now I put Chris Bassett in the first game, but that's just, that's just me. So, uh, what, what sort of offensive power does Milwaukee have?
00:15:20
Speaker
No, no, but they were first in pitching. Sorry, I meant to Minnesota. In Minnesota? I mean, they've got a solid lineup in terms of who's playing for them, but I mean, the division they're in, I'm pretty sure that that was the division that at some point, even during this season, you could have a losing record and you were leading the division, right?
00:15:45
Speaker
Right, right, right, right. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, I'm just looking over some of the stuff here. Even I mean, three of their best players are good and are decent players. We're actually on the injured list right now down the stretch. So, I mean, it's you know, it's just not they're not they're not great overall, in my opinion. And yes, they're in the playoffs, but they play in a very, very weak division. You know,
NFL Games and Blue Jays Reminiscences
00:16:10
Speaker
Blue Jays offense has been pretty sketchy here and there, eh?
00:16:13
Speaker
Yeah, I know. I know that's, but I mean, if they go on a heater though, yeah, that's where, I think that's where it really could change, right? Like I think the J's, you know, could, could really turn it on. So, well, I mean, first game is, uh, Tuesday night. Yep. So by the time this, when this comes out, hopefully we'll be in the midst of a, uh, Jay's victory. So.
00:16:37
Speaker
I remember, you know, uh, 2015, obviously, uh, was the big, big playoff run and Joey bats and the bat flip and all that. And I was, I was campaigning for my life as an MP, uh, as, as the government was going down to defeat to Justin Trudeau. And, you know, I just couldn't, I couldn't door knock when the J's were playing, it would just piss off the voters, you know,
00:17:07
Speaker
Oh my word. And then I think that whole bat flip thing was going on the same time I was doing an all candidates meeting. And I was so pissed that I was missing the playoff game because I had to do an all candidates meeting. I know that sounds churlish, but I would have liked to have done both. Let's put it that way. Yeah. And it's one of those things that like
00:17:30
Speaker
You just can't interrupt those games. It's like the entire country is watching, right? Certainly in Ontario. Yeah, I know for sure in Ontario, but even across the, I mean, you know it across Canada, they would watch it. I mean, like I remember, well, who was, do you remember who was on the mound? Who gave up the home run to Joe Carter from the Phillies? Do you remember him? No. He was called the wild thing. It was Mitch Williams. Mitch Williams. I remember that night.
00:18:01
Speaker
Yeah, he ended up getting, like, death threats and stuff, by the way, from people. That was the first World Series they won, right? The second one. Yeah, and then, you remember, the second one was against the Braves, right? Yeah. And I want to say, oh, who was on the mound when they won that game? It wasn't Stottlemeyer, but it was, because remember, it was a guy tried to bunt his way on.
00:18:27
Speaker
Oh, right. Yeah. I remember that. Who was pitching when the J's won the Worlds? Hang on, everybody. Joey's got to look something up. We could probably like it was so-and-so. It was so-and-so. Who was the catcher of the Toronto? Okay. I can't find this. Anyway. One of our great listeners will let us know. Yeah. I feel like it was
00:18:56
Speaker
And that was 1993, right? No, that was, uh, that was 1992. Oh, okay. 92. So 93, 93 was their second one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I'm just trying to think of who was on the mound though. But I mean, at the time I knew we knew it was a big thing to win the world series, but you know, to win two in a row, uh, was incredible. And of course it hasn't been repeated for Toronto since then. Mike Timlin. That's what it was. Oh, Timlin.
00:19:26
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:45
Speaker
Tim Wakefield, again, sticking with baseball, who was one of my favorite pitchers of all time. I don't know if you know Tim Wakefield, but he had a great knuckleball or something. Yeah, like I love knuckleball pitchers, first of all, love it. And so Tim was one of my favorites and he passed away. It was a young age too, right? 57.
00:20:05
Speaker
So, yeah, brain cancer. So, that was sad. I had, I did not, I mean, I haven't followed his, obviously after baseball or whatever, but I thought that was sad. And he was, he was, I loved watching him. What happened to your NFL team this past weekend? That's, that's highly inappropriate and offensive that you bring that up.
00:20:25
Speaker
I guess the same thing that happened here, Raiders team. Yeah, yeah, exactly. The Cleveland Browns lost. Doesn't help when your starting quarterback is injured. You can't play. Oh, yes. That was, as soon as I saw that, because I was, I was actually in a big golf event all weekend and I was watching the game at the course on my phone and I tuned in and it starts off and I saw the couple plays in, but then I'm like, wait a sec. I was like, that's not Deshaun Watson.
00:20:54
Speaker
It's hard in the NFL. It's hard to win with your regular team. It's almost impossible to win with your backup quarterback. Although the Jets put on a good show with. Yeah, but they still didn't win.
00:21:07
Speaker
No, they didn't know. I mean, it's like a buddy was saying to me, saying to me the other day, like the good teams always find a way to win. That's what that's. I mean, you look at the chiefs, they always find a way to win other surprises this week. I, for me, I did not, I was surprised the way the bills manhandled the dolphin. Yeah, it was. Yeah.
Controversial Incidents in Canadian Politics
00:21:31
Speaker
And, uh, the Steelers and the, the Bengals, the Cincinnati Bengals are, are one in one and three. Can I, can I just, uh, just go back to the chiefs just for one second because of the Taylor Swift thing. And apparently, uh, sales of Travis Kelsey jerseys are up by 400% because of Taylor Swift and people making their own jerseys that say Swift on them on the back. Oh, seriously? Yeah.
00:22:00
Speaker
Yeah. Oh my gosh. And, uh, it's a boon for the NFL to have her at games. There's no question about it. And apparently she's already working on a new track that if they ever do separate, she'll have a new song to go to market with. It's going to be called. I used to have a tight end.
00:22:21
Speaker
What a time to be alive, as we've said, right? There we go. And she was at his game last night again. Yeah, she was. Yeah. She was there. She was biting her nails, though, because it was a close one. She's committed. She's a committed woman. Politics. There's been a lot that's happened since we've last done a banter show, but a lot of it is kind of
00:22:43
Speaker
kind of gotten stale in terms of the news cycle, but what's- Well, I didn't have an actual Nazi being invited to the House of Commons on my bingo card, I gotta say. Your bingo card. Although I will say this, I did see, I have been following that. I did see the article about, because of course it was National Truth and Reconciliation on the weekend, and today when we're recording this, the feds take a holiday to honor that.
00:23:12
Speaker
I did see an article where people were calling out Pierre about a picture where he said he was met with some Algonquins and it was a nuke.
00:23:29
Speaker
Classic, in my opinion, again, classic media clickbait because I read the headline and I'm like, oh, shoot, that's not good. But obviously I wasn't going to jump right to conclusions, read the story. And I'm like, there's no freaking story there. Like he didn't say he was only with Algonquins. He didn't say he was only with, you know, this group. He literally just made a comment that he had met with some of the Algonquins. And then in one of his pictures was him with the
00:23:59
Speaker
And I just am so sick of the partisan spin by some of these freaking MPs. They're just pathetic. And that's the point. It really wasn't a media story until the Trudeau Liberals jumped down his throat. Exactly.
00:24:16
Speaker
It's not a story at all, to be honest. There is no story there.
Canadian Political Climate Discussion
00:24:20
Speaker
But I just, I'm just like, I guess I just, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Maybe I'm too naive, but I just like keep thinking to myself, maybe, just maybe we could get through something without like some hack doing some other, because who was it that, who was it that made the comment or the tweet about it? Mark Miller. Mark Miller. Like, you know, like, screw off, bud. Like give me a break, right?
00:24:45
Speaker
Now, it was gratuitous and there was no substance to it. No. And they should know better, but you know what though? You know what it shows me? That they are freaking out though. That's what it tells me. Well, they're going from pillar to post trying to find a way to drag down his momentum of Pierre Poliev. That's what they're doing. Yeah. Their days are numbered.
00:25:09
Speaker
Well, any government's days are numbered. It's just a question of when, right? But yeah, I think I know you're I know what you're saying. But yeah, I mean, there's a lot of people. I just find it just talking to people, just talking to people there. They're coming right out and saying that they're they're done with the Trudeau Liberals. And these are not these are not concerted partisans. These are just regular people that I'm talking to. Yeah. And it's amazing how
00:25:38
Speaker
you know, for all that Jagmeet Singh does in order to kind of...
00:25:45
Speaker
Get his name out there. He's just, I, again, maybe I'm not around the people that would be his people, but he just does not have any traction amongst the people I talk to anyway, in terms of a viable option. It's literally between Trudeau and Poliev. And like you said, most of the people are not giving Trudeau another chance. Yeah. Yeah. And they want to, they want to kick the tires with Poliev. I get that. So.
00:26:12
Speaker
Not everybody's coming on
Listener Engagement and Podcast Milestones
00:26:13
Speaker
board immediately and he's going to have to continue to do well and talk about the issues that people care about and all of those things that he's doing now. But there's certainly a huge opportunity for him. No question about that. My sister sent me a text earlier today, sticking with Pauliev. Of course, him and his wife launched that clothing line called Bring It Home. And my sister lives up in the Guelph Act in Milton Rockwood, all that kind of area.
00:26:42
Speaker
I'll say Milton, I guess is the easiest way to say it, but she was telling me how they've seen quite a few of the shirts and hoodies for bring it home in the grocery stores up there. Was that right? So she sent me the link and she's like, I need to get some of these. Yeah, I know. They're very popular. They're very, they started to sell them at the convention in Quebec City in early September.
00:27:06
Speaker
They had a big merch table there, Jody, and they were just flying off the shelves. I mean, they almost couldn't keep them in stock. Well, I mean, you and I need to get the common sense crew neck. Yeah. What do you think? Yeah. Maybe you can gift Pierre with the young Tony sweater. I know. We got to get our merch going again, don't we? I think we should. Yeah.
00:27:34
Speaker
There we go. Let's hear from our audience about that. Tell us whether you want to get some of our merch again, because we haven't done that for at least a year now, I don't think so.
00:27:43
Speaker
Yeah, actually. And that's a good segue into something I wanted to bring up on our Spotify platform. So our show is on multiple platforms. But on the Spotify one specifically, we now have a way to directly engage with you, the listener. So we're going to be putting up a polling option. And we usually ask a question each week. But I'm going to put up a poll. Should we bring back merch? Should we offer some more merch? So if you could,
00:28:13
Speaker
go on there vote so we can we can you know maybe make a make a note of that and then and our listeners can kind of dictate what we do in fact and if i go back just uh because i forgot about this but if i go back to i think it was two weeks ago um because we were just using the polling option uh when we did the episode on conservative momentum yes so we did a poll hold on i'm bringing it up here
00:28:43
Speaker
We did a poll on, does Ken Pierre maintain this momentum? If you remember, we had a conversation and the majority of votes were that yes, he would. Oh, is that right? Okay, good. Yeah. So I think I had said yes, no, or unsure, but the majority of the votes were for yes, he would. So there you go. So again, these polls, just another, what's that? Yeah, let's keep these polls going. I like it.
