    TURMEL: Brantford Mayoral Debate

    JCT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ewFAfdC9XM is the Sep 14 2022 Brantford mayoral debate. This is the transcript of my responses:

    Intro:

    Turmel: well had I been elected four years ago there would
    have been no vax mandate, no forced injections. How can I
    say that? Well in early 2020, the Toronto Star published a
    story that said WHO announces that the Covid 3.4 percent
    death rate for case fatality rate hospitalized was higher
    than the flu's 0.1 percent infection fatality rate. They
    compared Apple to Orange to scare people by a factor of a
    hundred. So I brought the information to a federal court. I
    said "Look here, they compared CFR to IFR to be off by a
    factor of a hundred. This is a false alarm." And it was
    dismissed, thrown out. Doesn't matter, I'm still fighting
    over this. I'm trying to get out the message that WHO
    exaggerated the threat by a factor of a hundred to scare you
    into lockdowns, house arrest, and then to force you to take
    the jab because you wanted to get out of lockdowns.
    Now, is the jab any good? You heard "safe and effective" how
    many times? Well "affective,," we know it wasn't effective
    because you can still get it, you can still transmit it.
    "Safe," well 85 percent of Canadians are vaccinated and if
    85 percent of the deaths were among the vaccinated I'd
    expect that 85/15. if it was less than 85 percent, I'd say
    okay the vax worked a bit. And if it was way low then the
    vax really worked. But 92 percent of deaths are among the 85
    percent vaxxed. Do you understand what that means? Not only
    does it not work, it hurts.
    Now the U.S army, they have good statistics, medical
    statistics, and they examined their records and they found
    that 80 percent of pregnant women who got the shot had
    miscarriages. Okay so if you got the shot, you're probably
    not going to have any grandchildren. The adverse effects are
    multiple but you're not going to see it on the mainstream
    news brought to you by Pfizer, you're going to see it only
    in the underground news. News sites: Gateway Pundit, Zero
    Hedge, Dr Mercola, Stew Peters.

    Q1: the signature advocacy priority of the Chamber of
    Commerce Brantford Brant throughout our history and is the
    Improvement of Transportation and Infrastructure in the
    region. What are the key infrastructure projects you will
    commit to Leading as mayor?

    Turmel: I would set up a LETS Local Employment Trading
    Software timebank which allows the poor people and
    unemployed people to log on, for instance, what nights they
    can double duty babysit each other's kids and pay each other
    with one Hour bills. Then the mechanic can take three Hours
    per hour in his shop and the dentist can take six Hours per
    hour in his chair and you end up with a support group around
    a bunch of broke people. So I think that is the first thing
    we can do is to get everybody connected into a LETS database
    so that they're able to use these time-based currency
    credits to pay each other to help each other without needing
    to call on government all the time. So that's basically it.
    It's a do-it-yourself money system and it's spread all over
    the world since 1984. I financed the software. I'm very
    proud of it, got invited to the United Nations in 2000
    Millennium assembly to do the speech on the Global Financial
    system of the future and they passed the resolution for an
    alternative time-based currency. So when you can use time as
    your collateral you are going to be safe.

    Q2: the Brantford municipal airport is an interesting
    Municipal asset it's located in the county but it's managed
    by the airport commission for the city. There are a number of
    businesses and organizations that rely on each other and the
    operations of the airport itself to serve our region. How can
    the city support the business and educate communities that
    use the airport while at the same time capitalizing on the
    opportunities available at the site. And as a secondary note,
    would you support the airport as a driver for economic
    development in the community. I'll remind Mr Turmel that the
    question that we're trying to address here is the airport as
    a municipal asset and a driver for economic development.

    Turmel: Before I get there I'm going to finish the point
    about infrastructure and transportation that I didn't
    complete last time okay? You mentioned, yes there are many
    bad things about the transportation. For instance, you're
    coming up West Street you want to turn left on Charing Cross.
    You got an extended green but the people coming on Charing
    Cross who want to get onto West don't have an advanced
    green. So you have many situations in town where one way
    has an advanced and the other way doesn't have an extended.
    It should be matched, no one's crossing the street if they're
    turning left and no one will be crossing the street if you
    can turn right. So I've been going through there on
    the red light. Waiting for the first cop to stop me so I can
    tell a judge: "hey that's stupid that they can be turning left
    on next extended and I can't turn right on an advanced." So
    this is all over the City. Saint Paul and Brant, everywhere
    you've got these inefficiencies that could easily be fixed
    by changing the lights. Number two, I agree we should try
    hard to make things better for the airport; completely
    agree with the other candidates that we should try and make
    things better.

    Q3: Significant gaps remain in the roads and in public
    transportation to employment lands and to surrounding
    communities. Will you commit to developing a regional
    transportation master plan during the next term of council?

    Turmel: Yes who wouldn't agree with a master plan to improve
    things but I want to point out that the buses are snarled by
    the same inefficiencies in our unsynchronized lights as we
    are. So if we want better buses and better Transit and more
    effective Transit, let's fix the lights for the buses too.

    Q4: Mr Turmel on Arts culture tourism and Heritage as
    economic drivers.

    Turmel: Everything benefits from more money, okay? Now if we
    set up an alternate currency system, we'll have more money,
    which means that people can use this alternate currency to
    go to the shows, can enjoy the Arts, and now the people who
    are getting paid with some of the alternate currency get to
    use it for what they want to spend at all. So coming back to
    lack of money all the time, all problems stem from lack of
    money and all problems that are based on lack of money can
    be fixed if we set up an alternative currency system. Easily
    done if you use time as your collateral with a new kind of
    time bank that I'm talking about. So yes, I'd love to be able
    to be paid when I give accordion concerts at all folks
    homes. Now I just go there to practice but I'd love to be
    paid. I wish they could afford me but they can't right now
    so I'm just saying that once we do set up an official time
    bank for the whole city, it's the day everybody has more
    money to spend on economic development and the Arts and
    everything else.

    Q5: The 2017 boundary adjustment brought 684 net hectares of
    land into the city's boundaries. Please outline your strategy
    for working with our neighbors on Six Nations in the county
    specifically to capitalize on the economic opportunities for
    these lands.

    Turmel: Well I gotta go back to more money again. We'll give
    more money if they do what we want. We'll give them more
    alternative currency if they do what we want. We'll pay them
    more for what they want. I can't think of anything else, can
    you?

    Q6: Downtown Brantford is an evolving entity and
    revitalization is not a destination but rather an ongoing
    process. How would you propose to work with the downtown
    Brantford BIA, the Chamber of Commerce, and businesses to
    improve the environment for business and service in the
    downtown?

    Turmel: well I think trying to get the homeless and the ill
    people off the streets has to be number one. Now right now,
    we have to pay police, courts, judges, social workers to
    take care of them. That's a lot of money to take care of
    these people who are on the streets because they're broke.
    Now if we could give them an interest-free credit card so
    that the money we would be spending on cops and judges and
    stuff they could use to rent an apartment somewhere that
    would get them off the streets; also if they could buy some
    food with their credit cards; then we ask them: Look, if you
    get a chance try and pay it back. Even if you don't pay it
    back, it's cheaper doing this, buying, letting you buy your own
    food and get your own apartment than us having to chase you
    and follow you and have social workers work on you. So it
    always comes back to giving them a new kind of money,
    alternate currency would work fine, if the landlords would
    take a part of their rent in that alternate currency because
    they can pay a part of their taxes in that alternate
    currency. All we have to do is accept our own Brantford Bucks
    in our taxes and then we can use our own Brantford Bucks to
    finance people to get off the streets, that we don't need
    cops chasing them, social service and all these people
    trying to take care of them. So it always comes back to lack
    of money and an alternate currency always fixes those kind
    of problems.

    Q7: The city of Brantford is a nearly 250 million dollar
    Corporation and as mayor you hold a unique role as the chair
    of a council of 11 elected to govern and Lead our city. So
    tell us about yourself what makes you uniquely qualified and
    the best person for the job and why do you want to be mayor?

    Turmel: Well, if you remember Star Trek science officer
    Spock, he was the guy who could figure out the odds of
    winning. Well I have a degree in systems engineering and I
    was Teaching Assistant of Canada's only Mathematics of
    Gambling course. So I can figure out the same odds of
    winning. So I have the closest education to Mr Spock on the
    planet.
    I took out the site's SmartestManOnEarth.Ca,
    http://SmartestMan.Ca for short, and notice, not one doctor
    in the world figured out that they had been Apple oranged by
    WHO comparing CFR to IFR except me. If that doesn't prove
    I'm a lot smarter than everybody else, what does?
    Did you know that in Ukraine, Canada fought against the
    Ukraine Nazis with the Commies back in the Second World War
    and now we're fighting with the Nazis against the Russians
    in this war here. Can you believe that?
    And finally, everybody's been told that raising interest
    rates fights inflation. Can you you imagine anything as
    stupid as believing that raising costs are going to lower
    your prices and yet everybody does. I'm the only person
    screaming: "Not true." So yeah, I'm the smartest man on
    earth.ca smartest man.ca for short and nobody's going to
    trick me into getting scammed like you've all been scammed.
    So there's three great examples of how the wool's been
    pulled over your eyes and not mine. And I'm proud of it,
    especially the fact that I spotted them Apple Oranging us
    for the lockdowns and the shots and nobody else did, not one
    doctor! Of course, doctors who do will get suspended and
    fired. Vaccine hesitancy. If you find out that 92 percent of
    the people are vaxxed who die and only 85 percent of the
    population is waxed, you would figure out that you have
    vaccine hesitancy. So yes, I'm hesitant about vaccines
    because more people die when they take them than when they
    don't. Okay so there are many other things at my site
    smartestman dot ca you can go check out my bio all the other
    things where the world got it wrong and I got it right.

    Q8: The city of Brantford success is closely tied to that
    success of our neighbors, the county of Brant and
    increasingly Six Nations of the Grand River. We share
    boundaries in land, use opportunities with both these
    communities and we've had some success sharing resources.
    There's much more that could be done. What are two key and
    substantive areas of services that you believe could be
    improved upon by partnering with our neighbors in the county
    and or the Six Nations of the Grand River.

    Turmel: Well I could show our neighbors how to set up a
    LETS time bank barter Network so that they could trade with
    us and we could trade with them and we could buy more of
    their stuff because we could use our alternate currency as
    well as cash and they could buy more of our stuff because
    they can use alternate currency and cash. So showing them
    how to get involved and setting up their own LETS time Banks
    database would be a way to do more trade with them more
    barter with them and more neighborly stuff with them.

    Q9: On housing affordability. One of the most challenging
    problems at all levels of government right now is the cost
    of housing. So two parts, what are your plans to address
    housing affordability in Brantford and what can the city do
    to support the development of more homes that are affordable
    to the average resident?

    Turmel: Well affordability. Geez, that seems to be what I'm
    talking about all the time. Now if the residents had access
    to alternate currency they could pay a little more for rent,
    they could afford their rent. Therefore the rents would be
    more affordable as well as if they got children, kids, do you
    remember two elections ago I was talking about Bus Bucks,
    about using bus tickets to pay students to shovel the snow
    in the winter? I mean imagine a big snowstorm when you've got
    a gang of students out front shoveling the snow and they're
    getting bus tickets on the empty buses to pay them for it.
    It never got done. I mean they started in Japan a Bus Bucks
    idea but not here. So anyway, the same idea you can use
    an alternate currency bus tickets to pay kids to do useful
    stuff, cleaning the parks, shoveling the snow, and that
    gives the families more money to pay rent in this affordable
    housing if the housing authorities take Bus Bucks and take
    alternate currency for the rent. So same idea Bus Bucks,
    LETS time bank credits, alternate currency, always solves
    the problem of unaffordability.

    Q10: In January of this year the Ontario housing
    affordability task force released a report with a number of
    recommendations to improve access to housing that is
    Affordable to all ontarians. What aspects of that report in
    particular are most promising to you and what aspects if
    implemented would be challenging? For example Municipal land
    transfer tax and housing as a right encourage more
    densification. What specific aspects of this report are again
    opportunities and what would be challenging?

    Turmel: Two questions ago the mayor mentioned a tax credit
    program and a lot, and asked this question, he said looking
    for innovative ideas. The only thing wrong with a tax credit
    program is what's a guy going to do with a thousand dollar
    tax credit? Now if you printed up a whole bunch of ten
    dollar tax credits and paid the builder with them, he could
    use them to pay some employees, he could use them in the
    stores, in other words paper tax credits in small
    denominations would be an ideal alternative currency.
    They've been used in different cultures in the past. Tax
    credit notes. So that would be a great innovative idea to
    print up a whole bunch of small tax credit notes so that
    they can use them as currency out in the community. So
    that's a great idea a tax credit program with paper tax
    credits small denominations innovative.

    Q11: Brantford's home to the woodland cultural center a
    former residential school first of all have you read The
    Truth and Reconciliation commissions calls to action and
    secondly what additional steps should the city take towards
    reconciliation with our indigenous communities?

    Turmel: Well nothing builds relationships better than trade.
    Now, in the old days, natives used to have Wampum. Wampum was
    the native money and a native could paint a bead worth a
    beaver pelt, a horse, or something, then he could go travel
    around and pay people with these Wampum beads. Well I'll tell
    you what. We'll take your Wampum if you take our Wampum. So
    Wampum was a great alternative currency that worked in North
    America hundreds of years ago. Now why they stopped, why they
    gave up their Wampum and gone on to bank monies where they
    could pay interest to Whitey, I don't know, but they had a
    perfect money system of their own they've lost it. I'd say
    get back to your Wampum again because I'll take your Wampum
    if you'll take mine.

    Q12: This year the chamber co-authored a provincial policy
    paper advocating for a strategy on homelessness addictions
    and mental health and that policy paper was unanimously
    accepted as part of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce
    provincial advocacy priorities for the next three years that
    same policy paper is sponsoring another will be brought
    forward at the national level sponsoring a similar
    resolution this fall both of which are calling on higher
    levels of government to recognize and act on the significant
    issue of homelessness, addictions and mental health. What
    actions then can the city do to address this challenge in
    our community and how prepared are you to address it?

    Turmel: Lobbying for funding that the government doesn't
    want to give us never worked in the past, won't work now,
    but giving them alternate currency so they can pay a rent,
    they can afford a home, they can afford some food, not a
    luxurious living, just the basic necessities so we don't have
    to pay social servants to take care of them. Now they don't
    want to be identified, fine, get your own apartment, we don't
    need your ID, we don't have social servants chasing you
    anymore. So giving them their own source of currency so they
    can live where they want, buy what they want, not luxury
    again. I'm not saying you can go to the alcohol store and but
    anyway again we're back to the same solution for the
    homeless and the poor which is giving them an alternative
    interest-free credit card and asking: "someday when you're
    back on your feet just try and pay it back and you got the
    rest of your life to pay it back. It's not like we're going
    to chase you every month for the interest, there's no
    interest. Just do your best, see if you can get out of debt by
    the time you die. And most people, I think, will; so I'm
    ready to trust the homeless with a little bit of interest-
    free debt, social debt, social credit, and let them pick
    their own mode and way of surviving.

    Q13: An extension on the last question but a little bit more
    direct consumption and treatment services is a complex set
    of resources and services to address addiction and it
    requires community support and federal support to implement
    do you support the implementation of a CTS consumption and
    Treatment Services Center facility in Brantford and if so
    how would you work with the business community on site
    selection to address some of the challenges in locating a
    safe site CTS near the Consumption and Treatment Services
    Center.

    Turmel: Is that for drugs? Yes okay, ah sure sure I mean I'm
    in favor of letting people spend their alternate currency on
    anything they want. I've always said 25 30 years ago, if a
    guy wants to take speed and die in two years I'm not going
    to stop them. I'll try and talk him out of it but I'm not
    going to jail him because he wants to. So I don't want to get
    in the way of how people's mode and rate of dying because
    we're all picking our own poison, we're all finding our own
    ways to die sooner, and I don't want to get involved in how
    you do it. But I do want to provide Social Services if you
    want help and that means that you got your own home, you got
    some credit, you got some food, you got everything you need
    for a comfortable existence if not luxurious and then you
    just try and pay us back if you can. And if you don't, we
    write it off like in the old Potlatch days. Now if a guy died
    what we do is we like uh the Amish they had these Barn
    raisings everybody would chip in to rebuild one barn. Well if
    a guy dies, we can all chip in to pay his baby debt, the debt
    that the guy couldn't pay off, so that we all cover it and if
    a guy dies positive, we all get a little bit at the end. So I
    wouldn't worry about too many guys dying in the negative
    when there'll be so many more guys dying in the positive. So
    don't worry about chipping in your dime for having taken
    care of the homeless drug addict when you're going to be
    getting a buck for having helped with an interest-free
    credit card a productive carpenter.

    Q14: As the voice of our members, the largest business
    organizations in the area, the Chamber of Commerce Brantford
    Brant frequently hears about the cost of doing business in
    our community and we appreciate the efforts of city council
    over the years to maintain a focus on one of our signature
    policies tax ratio fairness between residential commercial
    and Industrial tax ratios now in a post-covered world in
    2023 what do you see will be the key challenges to
    developing a 2023 Municipal budget?

    Turmel: On the municipal budget, yes inflation, higher
    prices if anybody hasn't noticed the prices at the grocery
    stores and wood and everything gone up a lot, then there's
    something wrong. It's gonna get worse. Now they're going to
    cut back on food production by getting rid of nitrogen to
    fight global warming which stopped 25 years ago, okay! But
    still the people keep pushing it they keep falling for the
    trick it's not getting warmer it's gotten colder. Number two,
    fuel is going up that's going to cost more too and as the
    prices go up they're going to want to raise interest rates
    to fight inflation because you've all been told that higher
    costs mean lower prices right so it's a disaster that's
    about to happen and what can I say if we don't deal with the
    scams that are tricking us: interest doesn't fight inflation,
    it causes higher prices, global warming stopped 25 years ago
    so we don't need to stop food production like they're doing
    in in Europe in in Belgium to stop our Netherlands to stop
    the price the food production so they're doing all sorts of
    stupid stuff to fight useless hoaxes. Okay now
    http://SmartestMan .Ca is my site where I go over all of
    these tricks they've done on you and if you can sit there
    and say you really believe that raising interest costs is
    going to lower your prices you better go check my site
    because there's nothing that stupid you can believe and they
    got you believe in lots of stupid stuff.

    Exit:

    Turmel: Well you should visit my site http://SmartestMan.Ca
    to find out how many ways you've been suckered okay? Global
    warming, the C-19 pandemic lockdowns, and supporting the
    Nazis in Ukraine, interest fights inflation. Boy do you
    people look stupid to fall for this kind of stuff. So you
    need http://SmartestMan.Ca looking out for you before you
    fall for any more stupid stuff.
