Second Cup Does Not Give 2nd Chances While Canada's PM Does Nothing
Show Notes
While Canadian PM Trudeau was partying at the Taylor Swift concert, pro-Hamas and anti-NATO protestors destroyed property and assualted officers. Trudeau's response was more empty words and no actions.
One of these protestors was the the relative a Second Cup owner at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal. Her chants of the "Final Solution is near" and other racist taunts moved the CEO of Second Cup to rescind the franchise from these owners. Within 48 hours, the CEO did more to impact Canada than the PM did in over a year.
When will Trudeau and other politicians wake up that action is truly needed?
00:00:00.420 --> 00:00:07.233 You know, everyone thought a cup of coffee is cheap and senseless and typically you had a lot of good conversation.
00:00:07.233 --> 00:00:15.374 But when a franchise owner goes woke, goes racist and goes bananas, they lose their cup of java.
00:00:15.374 --> 00:00:17.763 Hey everybody, my name's Stuart Brizgale.

00:00:42.454 --> 00:00:50.073 So grab a seat, settle in and join us on this journey for another thought-provoking rant and meaningful discussion.
00:00:50.215 --> 00:00:55.106 Welcome to the Rant Network, where your voice matters and no topic's off limits.
00:00:55.106 --> 00:01:00.765 Look at David just sort of eyes popping out of his head for my new sleek little intro.
00:01:00.765 --> 00:01:02.749 Well, there's new introsros.
00:01:02.749 --> 00:01:15.397 I give myself a round of applause when justin trudeau decides to go dance up the street at a taylor swift concert.
00:01:15.397 --> 00:01:16.420 He's a swifty.
00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:19.746 He's probably also an anti-trump or two.
00:01:19.746 --> 00:01:20.427 Go figure.
00:01:20.427 --> 00:01:23.775 He voted against bb net and you have to arrest the guy.
00:01:23.775 --> 00:01:25.278 And you know what.
00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:31.117 You know he voted in favor of honoring the icc correct, that means he's in favor of arresting the guy.
00:01:31.117 --> 00:01:32.540 Absolutely, you know.
00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:34.706 I'm taking one out of cnn's handbook.
00:01:34.706 --> 00:01:36.108 Just say what I feel.
00:01:36.108 --> 00:01:43.921 Yeah, you know, but but you know the funny thing is is that I grew up, uh, in montreal, but I lived a short stint in toronto, canada.
00:01:43.921 --> 00:02:06.448 You know where toronto had a major coffee franchise called Second Cup and I actually went to school with one of the major franchise owners who had basically Young Eglinton, bathurst and King Street Second Cup franchise, that whole big area, wonderful people, wonderful franchise, good cup of joe.
00:02:06.829 --> 00:02:08.420 I'm in florida, I don't have it.
00:02:08.420 --> 00:02:14.772 I settle on illy coffee and my espresso cappuccino machine maker.
00:02:14.772 --> 00:02:18.966 Come by, grab a cup, but the second cup I always charge for.
00:02:18.966 --> 00:02:27.200 But in this case we talked about leadership, quality of leaderships and people that are now no longer afraid.
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:38.210 You know, woke is on trial and that's just the way it's going to be for the next four years and hopefully for many, many more years to come.
00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:45.960 It's broken into our school systems, it's broken into our media agencies, but you know where it hasn't broken?
00:02:45.960 --> 00:03:00.634 The Second Cup Corporation, where it gave the royal foot to someone who went off the reservations and broke some of the most valuable lessons in retail.
00:03:00.634 --> 00:03:04.625 Keep your opinion to yourself and do what I'm paying you to do.
00:03:04.625 --> 00:03:08.746 Serve me a cup of coffee, don't serve me your politics.
00:03:08.765 --> 00:03:10.151 David, what do you got to say?
00:03:10.151 --> 00:03:11.346 It goes a step further than that.
00:03:11.346 --> 00:03:13.295 So okay, folks, let's just put some context over here.
00:03:13.295 --> 00:03:23.944 On Friday, here in Montreal, my beautiful city, is hosting a NATO conference, and anytime NATO is here in Montreal, by the way, just so you know, the United Nations has offices here in Montreal.
00:03:24.986 --> 00:03:25.987 The anarchists show up.
00:03:25.987 --> 00:03:27.490 They hate it.
00:03:27.490 --> 00:03:36.397 The green people show up, the anti-this, the anti-that, and who else joins them, of course, are the pro-Hamas protesters.
00:03:36.397 --> 00:03:39.929 I don't call them pro-Palestinian, because pro-Palestinian would not do what they were doing.
00:03:39.929 --> 00:03:41.032 They're pro-Hamas.
00:03:41.032 --> 00:03:56.140 They believe in terrorism, they believe in anarchy, they believe in destruction, and it was proof positive as they assaulted police officers, as they verbally assaulted other people, as they burnt cars and smashed windows, because this all helps the Palestinian cause right Now.
00:03:56.140 --> 00:03:57.024 These are anarchists.
00:03:57.024 --> 00:03:58.710 That's only one thing that they want to do.
00:03:58.710 --> 00:03:59.985 And this is not the first time.
00:03:59.985 --> 00:04:02.245 We've had encampments in Montreal.
00:04:02.245 --> 00:04:09.379 We've had other destruction of property, we've had assault on Jewish institutions, we've had firebombing shootings.
00:04:09.379 --> 00:04:11.580 There are injunctions, the whole thing.
00:04:11.580 --> 00:04:26.107 And the police are inept, in the sense that the upper echelons of the police and the mayor's office, they say their hands are tied, and I don't blame the police if you don't have the political backing, you can't do anything.
00:04:26.107 --> 00:04:29.466 See Black Lives Matter with Minnesota.
00:04:29.466 --> 00:04:31.346 But here's the catch folks.
00:04:32.899 --> 00:04:43.646 Justin Trudeau, who loves to preach he has the moral high ground on every subject was at the Taylor Swift concert on Friday in Toronto.
00:04:43.646 --> 00:04:51.831 In fact, he, stuart, put on Twitter, slash X that he wants Swift to come to Toronto, come to Canada.
00:04:51.831 --> 00:04:54.446 He appealed to her to come here.
00:04:54.446 --> 00:04:55.951 Four shows in Toronto.
00:04:55.951 --> 00:04:58.507 He went to one of them with his daughter, and you know what.
00:04:58.507 --> 00:05:03.225 Good for you, good for you as a father, proud of you that you did that.
00:05:03.225 --> 00:05:17.276 But as Montreal is going through its usual problems thanks to the lack of control by the mayor, the short-sightedness by the premier, the prime minister says what?
00:05:17.276 --> 00:05:19.303 Oh, that was terrible.
00:05:19.303 --> 00:05:21.750 I'm paraphrasing we should stop this.
00:05:21.750 --> 00:05:25.288 Racism isn't acceptable by any stretch of the imagination.
00:05:25.288 --> 00:05:29.987 More words, more words, stuart, but no actions.
00:05:29.987 --> 00:05:35.762 And it's disgusting, and this went global, this went viral.
00:05:35.762 --> 00:05:41.793 The Prime Minister of Canada preferred to go to SWIFT instead of taking SWIFT action.
00:05:43.641 --> 00:05:49.346 What's interesting, by the way, as Stuart was trying to get to his second cup, was one of those anarchists, ladies and gentlemen.
00:05:49.346 --> 00:06:11.605 Okay, ladies and gentlemen, it is not fake news that they canceled the contract, but let's just put it this way, the franchise owner of the second cup, a relative, was one of the anarchists Now she was dressed with a mask was one of the anarchists Now she was dressed with a mask, sunglasses and a keffiyeh and you couldn't see her while she was protesting.
00:06:11.605 --> 00:06:28.560 But prior to her picture was taken and posted, the police matched it and recognized who it was and consequently, within 48 hours, ceo of Second Cup rescinded the two locations at the Jewish General Hospital here in Montreal.
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.704 The franchise gone, erased, eradicated.
00:06:33.889 --> 00:06:37.237 I was there this morning, actually, and I was talking to employees.
00:06:37.237 --> 00:06:48.009 I talked to it and hence the reason I'm sitting here with a cup from Second Cup today because, as a way to apologize to the staff and to patients and whatever, they were giving away free coffee.
00:06:48.009 --> 00:06:50.689 They weren't bribing folks, they were giving it away as a real.
00:06:50.689 --> 00:06:52.093 We are here with you.
00:06:52.093 --> 00:07:11.134 The beyond chutzpah, the beyond disgust, stuart, the beyond chutzpah, the beyond disgust, stuart, that this owner has to take money from the people who support them and then to go and yell death to Jews.
00:07:11.134 --> 00:07:13.420 The final solution is near, which obviously goes back to the Nazis way.
00:07:13.420 --> 00:07:16.165 Doing the Hitler salute All this is gone on camera.
00:07:16.165 --> 00:07:23.872 Doing the Hitler salute All this is gone on camera and CEO of Second Cup within 48 hours responds strongly and harshly.
00:07:25.134 --> 00:07:34.021 Now, david, I posted up global news and I called it fake news because the Jewish hospital didn't shut down Second Cup.
00:07:34.021 --> 00:07:34.901 It wasn't the Jewish general.
00:07:34.985 --> 00:07:35.954 It was Second Cup.
00:07:35.954 --> 00:07:36.254 It was Second Cup.
00:07:36.254 --> 00:07:36.392 Who rescinded.
00:07:36.392 --> 00:07:36.968 The Jewish general has no control over the.
00:07:36.968 --> 00:07:38.185 The Jewish general, it was Second Cup, correct, it was Second Cup.
00:07:38.185 --> 00:07:38.375 Who were ascended?
00:07:38.375 --> 00:07:40.713 The Jewish general has no control over the French.
00:07:41.266 --> 00:07:44.351 It was Second Cup, but I just wanted to throw in the things.
00:07:44.351 --> 00:07:44.894 Part of the news.
00:07:45.064 --> 00:07:46.329 Listen she wasn't filmed.
00:07:46.329 --> 00:07:48.035 Allegedly she was there.
00:07:48.035 --> 00:07:52.906 Now, here's the thing, folks the Prime Minister of Canada.
00:07:52.906 --> 00:07:59.718 I don't care that he goes to the concert, I'm not complaining about him going to a concert.
00:08:06.625 --> 00:08:11.074 I'm disappointed, as usual, in the Prime Minister of Canada who, for the last nine years, likes to tell everybody how to act, but he himself won't.
00:08:11.074 --> 00:08:14.120 He is more concerned with the Arab and Muslim vote.
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:18.396 He is more concerned with that than racism.
00:08:18.396 --> 00:08:21.774 He is more concerned about him getting reelected.
00:08:21.774 --> 00:08:30.576 Last week he announced bribery oh, no, sorry, not bribery $250 checks to 18 million Canadians as a way to buy their votes.
00:08:30.576 --> 00:08:37.068 But that's okay, because we have so much money in the bank that we can give away so many billions of dollars.
00:08:37.068 --> 00:08:43.870 Okay, that we're in greater debt, okay, an idea that should have been put in place two years ago he's putting in place now because an election is coming.
00:08:44.591 --> 00:08:50.716 Justin's only concerned about himself, not about the Canadian welfare, not about the Jewish citizens that he's supposed to protect.
00:08:50.716 --> 00:08:57.678 And Anthony Housefather with all due respect to him, who's not my member of parliament sits there and goes bad, bad.
00:08:57.678 --> 00:09:03.586 I'm so sorry.
00:09:03.586 --> 00:09:04.326 It should be bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
00:09:04.326 --> 00:09:04.967 Stuart, put that away, please.
00:09:04.988 --> 00:09:11.057 The thing is that right now, justin Trudeau shouldn't take a page out of the CEO of Second Cup Act.
00:09:11.057 --> 00:09:13.288 You want to see things stop.
00:09:13.288 --> 00:09:16.095 You want to act like a real leader Act.
00:09:16.095 --> 00:09:23.932 The Second Cup CEO put out a release because they said we do not tolerate racism of any kind.
00:09:23.932 --> 00:09:29.191 This isn't Starbucks that closed the stores from a DEI and gave everybody lessons.
00:09:29.191 --> 00:09:37.956 The CEO sent a lesson to everybody is that if you are preaching hate and racism, we will take your livelihood away.
00:09:37.956 --> 00:09:43.017 Consequences for your inaction, which is against the law.
00:09:43.017 --> 00:09:46.433 Stuart, this is what we need from leadership.
00:09:46.433 --> 00:09:57.789 I do not see it from the Biden-Harris administration, I certainly don't see it from the Gavin Newsom administration, I don't see it in New York, I don't see it in many parts of Canada and I certainly don't see it from the prime minister of Canada.
00:09:58.591 --> 00:10:04.729 You know, david, thank you for such an illustrious way of introing it, but I want to bring this picture back up.
00:10:04.729 --> 00:10:08.837 That is the prime minister of Canada.
00:10:08.837 --> 00:10:12.168 Guys, isn't he politically correct man?
00:10:12.168 --> 00:10:16.133 The man walks a fine line between a racist himself, just like his father.
00:10:16.133 --> 00:10:22.681 The sad part about this is Justin Trudeau is a proverbial buffoon.
00:10:22.681 --> 00:10:24.727 He is you know what.
00:10:24.727 --> 00:10:27.115 I put him on the same level of Gavin Newsom.
00:10:27.115 --> 00:10:31.990 Him and Gavin Newsom are snake oil salesmen, and that's all they are.
00:10:31.990 --> 00:10:33.652 They sell you a line of crap.
00:10:34.304 --> 00:10:35.809 And what happened at the second cup?
00:10:35.809 --> 00:10:36.933 I applaud them.
00:10:36.933 --> 00:10:38.831 They're now leading.
00:10:38.831 --> 00:11:00.732 You know, these DEI companies are trying to expunge the existence, but remember, it's a billions and billions of dollar business DEI, right and billions and billions that need to get reallocated, maybe to benefit the consumer and not the guy who wakes up the morning, says I'm a chicken, so treat me like a chicken.
00:11:00.732 --> 00:11:10.951 And having a whole department on sensitivity training, on how employees should deal with people that present themselves as chickens, justin Trudeau is just one of those chickens.
00:11:11.511 --> 00:11:13.798 Now, why do I call Justin Trudeau a chicken?
00:11:13.798 --> 00:11:19.628 Because he's terrified of being irrelevant, and that's like most politicians, right.
00:11:19.628 --> 00:11:23.399 They're terrified of losing their importance in existence.
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.910 Maybe it's because he's got a small unit.
00:11:26.910 --> 00:11:27.714 I don't know.
00:11:27.714 --> 00:11:32.289 I've heard women use that character phrase before, or maybe it's because he's an invertebrate.
00:11:32.289 --> 00:11:34.076 But you know what?
00:11:34.076 --> 00:11:49.965 He definitely isn't going to go get himself a good cup of coffee, because a guy like that is probably not going to the second cup anymore, because he is now watching his political career go up in a Swifty concert wearing probably spandex and a Barbie t-shirt.
00:11:50.264 --> 00:11:52.950 All right, now you're off the rails here, as usual.
00:11:52.950 --> 00:11:57.778 I love when you do that, stuart, but let's talk about the seriousness of the situation, because it's not to me.
00:11:57.778 --> 00:12:02.809 It's the intestinal fortitude it's to show the difference, the difference between politicians?
00:12:03.753 --> 00:12:13.018 no, but the thing is this I have a member of parliament here who is praising this franchise owner because he is an anti-Semite to the core.
00:12:13.018 --> 00:12:20.226 Okay, he is applauded and praised and he's done nothing but degrade Israel in every opportunity.
00:12:20.226 --> 00:12:23.755 He's done nothing to protect the Jewish community here in my neighborhood.
00:12:23.755 --> 00:12:37.288 But when I look at a person like an Anthony House father who decided years ago he was going to be a liberal and he was going to be part of that party and he was going to fight, he said you need to elect me so I can fight for Jews in cabinet.
00:12:37.288 --> 00:12:38.809 What are you doing there?
00:12:38.809 --> 00:12:40.270 What are you doing?
00:12:40.270 --> 00:12:42.833 Talk, talk.
00:12:43.053 --> 00:12:47.357 When you and Deborah Lyon say oh, we put out a document, it's a document.
00:12:47.357 --> 00:12:50.120 A document is meaningless if it's not enforced.
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.582 We have laws, we have hate laws.
00:12:53.582 --> 00:12:55.428 Okay, they're not being enforced.
00:12:55.428 --> 00:12:59.932 Instead, what you're enforcing is hate.
00:13:00.591 --> 00:13:10.657 You are allowing hate to perpetuate itself in Canada, stuart, and you're taking a page right out of the United States' book.
00:13:10.657 --> 00:13:11.798 Think about it.
00:13:11.798 --> 00:13:15.080 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did the same thing.
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.821 We let hate spread to the universities.
00:13:17.821 --> 00:13:19.581 We let hate spread throughout the community.
00:13:19.581 --> 00:13:24.384 We believed, as you said, in DEI, which DEI is not inclusive.
00:13:24.384 --> 00:13:32.748 Don't get caught up in that, because to create that inclusivity, you and I are excluded as Jews, as whites.
00:13:32.748 --> 00:13:37.331 I mean, give me a break.
00:13:37.331 --> 00:13:38.634 It's a new form of racism.
00:13:38.674 --> 00:13:52.759 And right now, when you see the CEO of Second Cup really taking a strong stance and he's sending a message not just to the business community but to the politicians and community at large, we stand up for the right thing to do.
00:13:52.759 --> 00:14:13.491 We could lose business on this and, believe you me, today, giving away thousands of cups of coffee, you might say, is a stupid idea, but they're understanding what was at stake, versus a Justin Trudeau who stands up there and says, stuart, you're a bad person.
00:14:13.491 --> 00:14:15.538 I know how you should act.
00:14:15.538 --> 00:14:17.124 You should follow my.
00:14:17.124 --> 00:14:23.653 Just listen to the words I'm telling you to do, not how I act, what I tell you to do because it's enough.
00:14:23.653 --> 00:14:43.150 Now, unfortunately, justin, the fact that you don't act, the fact that you do not, that you're a hypocrite, that you will not clamp down on racism, the fact that you pretended to put Anthony as the head of some anti-Semitic board or bullshit like that, all these words mean nothing.
00:14:43.150 --> 00:14:52.284 The inaction speaks louder because in 48 hours, the CEO of Second Cup schooled you.
00:14:53.831 --> 00:14:55.138 Maybe you should run for prime minister.
00:14:55.138 --> 00:14:58.591 And that brings us to a close of another episode of the Rant Network.
