This week on the show Dan and Vince go all CSI on the BC election and explain why it isn't young people's fault. Plus, Mike Duffy isn't forgetful he's just corrupt! Whew, we worried there for a second. Then we take a look at what Peter Penashue's riding means for Justin Trudeau (nothing) but why the next Quebec byelection could. We turn our eyes on the Time Magazine Millennials cover and then talk about how many college grads are dealing with minimum wage lives. All that plus Minnesota becomes the 12 State to not be crazy, The Sexiest MP's in Canada and Stephen Harper's Mother's Day present makes Dan's douchebag of the week list.

We look at Facebook's involvement in the Keystone Pipeline and learn in our douchebag of the week segment that Polar Bears are doing just fine as long as you believe Coca-Cola ads are a documentary.

This week on the show we run down the alleged Canadian terror plot and turn our attention to the "Anti-Terror Bill" S-7 that threatens our civil liberties. Plus we talk about the new Justin Trudeau ad that distracted everyone from the conversation they should've been having on our civil liberties. Dan talks about how "Hope and Hard Work" vs. "Experience" doesn't inspire him either way and we give the NDP props for standing up to the bill. While we were all talking terror, Harper switched the head of CSIS and added old Reform MP's to the CSIS watchdog - are they qualified - does Harper care? Also what happens when the Associated Press gets hacked? The Stock Market has a breakdown - what is twitter doing and why so serious traders? Plus how safe is your personal information with the government? According to new figures released by the Canadian Government - not very. This week in lobbying we take a look at the Pro CISPA lobby - how much did they spend and did it work on the U.S. Senate? I bet you know that last answer. Then we look at the whole mess of the Calgary Housing Secret Society that had an awkward voyeur moment. Then, Dan goes full atheist on new findings that the Harper Government spent 20 million on Christian Schools. Haven't you always thought it would be a brilliant idea to have a "Canadian Pentagon"? Yaa us neither, but lucky for all of us, the idea has stalled right around the 998 million dollar mark while Peter Mackay and friends really really want you to know that the Canadian Military is ARMED!
All that and Joe Oliver gets his douchiness in under the wire and makes the Douchebag of the week!

Add @DanSpeerin @TruthMashup for all the news from the show.
Strap in kids because it's been the week from hell and we need to vent. Listen while Dan and Producer Vince rant on former BP and Nexen Lobbyist aka Trudeau's new Chief of Staff, the guys ask if the new Harper attack ads may be the dumbest yet. We take a look at how twitter stands up in times of crisis and why 'the media' needs to worry more about being right than being fast. To help clean up their image the Conservatives were about to promise to never robocall again in a new bill, but then decided the bill needed to be looked at again (sighs). Plus, Joe Oliver had to pretend he liked the environment after telling people he wasn't so crazy about it. And you'll never believe the stupidity coming out of the BC Provincial race already - racism, homophobia and all with 80's hair! All that plus Dan names infowars Alex Jones and their Boston Bombing coverage in our Douchebag of the week segment and much more.

Join us every week for the @truthmashup podcast hosted by @danspeerin!
This week on the show we take a look at #nowthatcherisdead - that's Thatcher for all you concerned Cher fans. The guys give their thoughts on her legacy, her politics and the reaction to her death, plus we take a look at a glowing Globe and Mail editorial that seemed to leave out a few things. Next we preview our Sunday YouTube Special "2013: The Slippery Slope to PM Ben Mulroney" by asking "will asking is Trudeau smart enough, really matter?" and Alan tells us if Trudeau has his vote. Do you know how much Exxon Mobil makes per day? The guys run down that stat and applaud Rachel Maddow for asking why their environmental fines aren't higher, while Vince updates us on even more oil spills from the past week. Fast Food workers - are they really temporary? If you think the RBC workers scandal is ridiculous that's just the tip of the iceberg. Remember Enron? Sorry if you had repressed it already, but one of the ring leaders may now be getting out of prison and Dan isn't happy about it. Plus we talk, Access to Information laws in Canada, Ontario's new attitude on third party political advertising and the guys run down their douchebags of the week - including Russia going Religulous, why politicians have to stop blaming the media for asking questions and Coachella thinks their ain't no party like a Guantanamo Bay Party?!? Ohh the world.

This week on the show we take a look at the breaking news in Canada's robocalls case. We watch as Michael Sona goes under the bus and we ask will this be the last we hear of it? Plus Canada decided to go all Beverly Hillbillies all over the American countryside - will the latest oil spills be enough to finish off the Keystone XL pipeline?
Then we take a look at Canada and the UN - 193 countries are involved with Desertification, guess which country just slipped out the back door? Why is Canada no longer living up to there UN obligations? Following up with last week's story on the muzzling of scientists the Canadian goverment will look into whether or not the allegations are true - but our panel is a bit skeptical on whether the results will change anything. All that plus Egyptian satire, the e-coli comeback, Monsanto's more evil than we thought and we announce our douchebags of the week!

This Week on the Show we look south and support the awesome protests against DOMA! Then we take a look at our own awesome protest which Stephen Harper chose to ignore to profess his love to a Panda.
Then get ready because we're diving into all the things you should know about Flaherty's budget, get your water-wings out because we'll be wading through some deep err PR for awhile - how the budget will change things for women, the working poor and temporary workers. Plus you'll never guess what the Fraser Institute has a problem with in the budget - ok, you probably will.
Looks like Backbenchers have found their courage... their crazy, crazy courage, is it possible we are seeing the end of Harper's Silence of the Lambs?
Too Big to Fail - Canada's Six Largest Banks got that infamous label this week - is it just good planning? Or should we be getting worried?

This week Truth Mashup battles sickness to bring you the most ridiculous stories from Canada. You're Welcome Canada! (cough, sniffle, cough)
On the Podcast: Protesting Rights and the problems with Montreal's "Preventative arrests". Jim Flaherty was accused of acting like a Banana Republic and we’re not talking Khaki’s – plus the Conservatives want you to spend a day in Jim Flaherty’s budget shoes via twitter and who wouldn't want that! We take look into what the media goes through just to talk to a government scientist in Canada, are they being Muzzled? And we look into what the Budget could mean for the Environment. Canada is no longer in the UN's top 10 countries, but don't worry there is some fake good news! Also we look at CNN, Steubenville, the Rape Culture and why the MSM is helping create indie media every time it covers anything these days.
Plus our douchebags of the week finally includes Godwin's Law!

This week we take a look at the complete breakdown of Toronto media over "ass-gate". Yes, they actually called it that. The guys listened to talk radio so you didn't have to and you won't believe what they heard. Join us as we dissect the shame of "in-depth radio".
To watch the show youtube.com/ cynicallytested
Rundown:
1. Sarah Thomson vs. the media vs. Rob Ford - Toronto's gravy train wreck as Sarah Thomson gets attacked from all sides.
2. International Women's Day - Why does this event still get so little media coverage? Plus we take a look at some employment stats of the sexes that should make all Canadians mad.
3. Breaking Pope: The new Pope is a chemist, hides prisoners and has been charged by his critics of being an accessory to murder - Wow, AMC is really kicking it up a notch this year.
4. F-35 Costs: New math AGAIN on the growing cost of the F-35's, you'll never guess the price now.
5. Red River Resistance For the WIN! - Supreme Court of Canada rules in the Metis favour in a huge win that took 180 years in the making. Plus we take a look into the report of the office of the correctional Investigator and hear shocking stats on the aboriginal prison population.

7. 7th Kevin: Kevin Page is in the news again, as we learned this week he'll be replaced by a less qualified PBO in the interim. Are the Conservatives trying to slowly do away with the office behind closed doors? We'll discuss it.
8. D-Bag of the Week: Why do the Police in Durham Ontario need a "hummer on steroids". If you work for Shaw communications you might want to check your paycheque twice and the Toronto media all makes appearances in this week's douchebag of the week.
