Welcome to Sheboygan County government working for you. My name is Adam Payne, County Administrator and co-host of this program with Chairman Tom Wagner and as you know, every month we strive to bring a different department focus, a different department head to talk about their roles and responsibilities. And today we've got new legs in the seat over there. And one of our newest department heads and elected department head, our district attorney, Joel Ormansky. Welcome, Joel. Thank you very much. This is a nice program. I'm glad to be a part of it. It's wonderful to have your Joel gave a nice update to the county board earlier this month. And we're going to talk about the roles and responsibility of the district attorney's office. But before we get started, before we get into the meat of the content, please share a little bit about yourself and your background and how long you've been associated with the DA's office. Absolutely. I have been the district attorney since January of this year, taking over for the retiring of Joe DiCecco. I've been in the DA's office, however, since June of 2006. So it wasn't a new job, a new position or a surprise to me. And I'm one of those weird kids that in middle school, I wanted to be a district attorney. I was always gravitated to position. It was the sense of there's right and there's wrong, there's fair, there are people that take advantage that that's not fair and appropriate. And I wanted to give a voice to the victims to ensure justice and fairness. Since middle school. I, weird kid, but absolutely. That's remarkable. Yeah. Well, I always give people credit if they know they want to be a nurse or a school teacher, something like that early on. But you don't see it that often. That's impressive. So you delivered. I'm here every day. I'm living my dream, literally. I tell people that all the time. If you have a dream and you can succeed and accomplish it, every day is just a bonus. And every day going into work, no matter how difficult the day may be, I'm still doing what I've always wanted to do and set out to do. So there's always a silver lining, no matter how bad a day or difficult the day may be. So big picture. What is the function of the district attorney's office? Our office is in charge of all of the criminal prosecutions in the entire county. So you watch law and order in movies and they always talk about victims pressing charges that doesn't happen in Wisconsin. Law enforcement makes a determination initially of whether there should be an arrest or not. No matter what their discretion decision is, it comes to the DA's office. And it's myself or it's one of the assistants in the office. We make the decision of should someone be charged, if they should be charged, what should be the crime or crimes they're charged with. Now our office also deals with non-criminal affairs. So individuals with speeding tickets or other ordinances that occur in a municipality where there's not a municipal court, we handle those cases. We're also in charge of all the juvenile cases, whether that's a delinquency. So it's an allegation a child is committed, what would be a crime if committed by an adult? Or if unfortunately there are concerns that parents are not appropriate for their children and children are at risk of abuse or neglect or they've been abused or neglected, our office steps in for those cases all the way to when necessary, trying to terminate a parent's rights to their child or to their children. So everything law and order and protection, safety, compliance with the rules, our office is in charge of all of those obligations. And then on top of that, we're technically the lead law enforcement agency of the county. So we work very closely with law enforcement to make sure they're aware of changes in laws and procedures, make sure that we can assist in any way that we can to make sure each of our agencies is on top of all legal information and knowledge so that every agency is doing their best to protect everyone in the county.  And, you know, as I think about it, you really have to have a pretty good personality and be able to, you know, maneuver through the very challenging heavy issues that you and your staff deal with. It's remarkable the heavy lifting and the important work that your staff do. As you describe your department, one of 19 departments in Sheboygan County, yours is a little bit of a hybrid because of the makeup of state officials, county officials. Share a little bit about your staff and why it's unique from some of the other departments. Absolutely. So almost all of the attorneys are state employees. It used to be that we were all county employees across every county in the state. There had been a change and ultimately all prosecutors became state employees. The problem is the state has not been funding any office to the level that they should be fully staffed. Our county unfortunately is short many attorneys. So thankfully Sheboygan County came forward and funded one prosecutor for us to be a county funded special prosecutor. So for the most part, we're all state attorneys except for one individual who is a county employee attorney. All of our administrative staff, they're all county employees. So we have three victim witness professionals who work closely with all of our victims and witnesses, answering questions, getting them to court, helping us to prepare for trials and other hearings. They have one administrative assistant to help them with their obligations. We have one office manager. We have one paralegal to help the attorneys very closely. And then we have an additional staff of eight, one being part-time administrative professionals to help us with calls, taking care of discovery, getting defense attorneys what they need, making sure that we're getting files typed, filed, in the locations where they need to be, getting orders prepared, doing any of the numerous things we have to do on a daily basis. And when you mentioned your short staffed, just to be clear for our viewers, that's not just your opinion or the county board's opinion. These are studies that are done statewide on the number of prosecutors that should be in each county based on the number of cases they have, the clients they serve. And we've been short staffed for some time, yet though Joe DiCecco was always an advocate to share that information with the state, it hoped one day that might be addressed. Unfortunately, it hasn't been. And as you touched on, the county board did step up and established this county prosecutor position. Joe, I was so impressed with your leadership that was as Joe DiCecco was leaving, you were coming aboard, the transition was in place. And I really felt you championed the argument and you were highly successful. Please share a little bit about, well, what's this county prosecutor do? Why is it a benefit to the community? We had a huge need. To be honest, we still have a huge need. As you said, every county has a need. But for us, one of the major problems we were having was with our backlog of termination of parental rights. So what happens in essence in those cases is you have a child who has been out of the home for 15 of the last 22 months because it's been deemed appropriate by the department, our office, and a judge that it's not a safe home environment with their parents or guardians. So they're out of the home. Some of them were out of the home two, three, almost four years. You have now that child getting older, being in either a relative's home or a foster home, and they don't have permanence. They're just out there somewhere with parents that are supposed to live up to obligations of an order to become fit parents. And most of them, because of heroin, haven't been able to do it. Others, for other reasons, they haven't met the obligation. But we have children that are languishing. We have the county that was spending up to maybe $400 or $500 per month for those children for their costs of care with parents that aren't fit to provide that care. So I looked at the situation and I said, we need to address this TPR backlog. Right now that backlog is around 41 children still waiting for some degree of permanence. What we did is we justified one person in our office, our deputy, Chris Stock, who has had years of work with juveniles. He is now handling only guardianship, TPR, internships cases dealing with parents and protection of kids. What we've been able to do in having him focus in that area is decrease our TPR backlog to a degree. We have issued more TPR cases this year already than all of last year. That is a savings of significant money to the county. More importantly, it's permanence for those kids and permanence for those foster parents and relatives taking care of those kids. The only way we're able to do that is having the county funded prosecutor, Joe Andrioni, who we hired, he's taking all of the juvenile delinquencies. That's not all he's doing. He's working on asset forfeitures.  That's not the case anymore. He's also processing all of those asset forfeitures. It used to be that we were delayed and getting warrants out so we could try and arrest people. Well, now Joe is in charge of those. We're getting warrants out almost same day or next day because he's working so well, so quickly and diligently in getting these cases out. He's also covering cases for us. Unfortunately, we have five courts. We have one court commissioner's office. There are times that one prosecutor needs to be in two places. Well, we'd love to be able to do that. We can't, but because of his position, because the county came forward, we can have someone to prosecute those cases. And as attorneys, we can do a little bit more with what we have to make sure we get the right result and we get justice at the end of our cases. Thanks to him and ultimately the county being willing to fund that money to have him come to our office. Excellent overview, excellent response to the question. So hopefully people have a little more appreciation for not only the work that goes on but the importance of it, the sensitivity of it. When you're dealing with termination of parental rights, not only as you said, to find a good permanent home for the child, but the foster parents, I've received calls from foster parents in the past who they want the permanency, they want the decision made, they want to move forward with their lives and it leaves you a little bit limbo. So appreciate the good work and also appreciate the support of chairman Tom Wagner and the county board. The decisions to provide additional funding, whether it's the district attorney's office or any office are not easy decisions in part because the resources just aren't there to spread around and so it's always difficult but certainly this went to a good cause and you really gave a nice segue to my next question. That example you just shared, the leadership you provided to address a growing problem is an example of what department heads do, what leaders do. You touched a little bit on the overall breadth of the role of your department. Share a little bit more about your role specifically as the elected district attorney. A large part of my role is to make sure that all the prosecutors in the office are doing their job correctly. That means that they have the knowledge and resources to do their job. It means, and this is extremely important to me, that they're doing so at the highest level of ethics and morals, that they are not taking advantage of opportunities or people, et cetera, but they're doing it right and our office has always had very high moral standards and I want to make sure we maintain those and we are. Now on top of being in charge of all those attorneys and the administrative staff, I maintain my own caseload. I have a number of cases. Most of them are the, not necessarily higher profile, but the serious cases.  When there are heroin or other drug cases that lead to overdoses, I take those cases. I handle all the child pornography cases, in part because there are victims, serious victims. So I want to handle those cases and also so that the assistants don't have to look at that evidence. Unfortunately, there are some things that we see in our job and hear that you can't take out of your mind or your memory. If I can affect and change a prosecutor having to see that, I'll do that. Now we go above and beyond that. I'm also going to all of the chief's meetings. I'm a primary contact of sharing information with law enforcement and what's also really important to me, our office technically doesn't get involved until a crime's happened. I don't like that. I tell people the best prosecution is the prosecution you never need to have because the crime didn't happen. So I go out with the community various times, very frequently, to educate. I work very closely with Safe Harbor. We've been going to middle schools and high schools to talk about sexting, healthy relationships. We go to Lakeland and UW-Shabuigan for freshman orientation to talk about consent and sexual assaults. Trying to get out into the community to talk, educate, and try and prevent crime. I'm also available 24 hours a day when law enforcement needs me for a search warrant. Last year we had just over 200 search warrants that had to be judicially approved. So I'm available for questions and search warrants 24 hours a day when I'm needed by law enforcement. Very good. Very good and very heavy. So last question before I turn it over to Tom. It's been a rather short stint so obviously you've been with the department since 2006 but as the elected district attorney, what have you enjoyed the most so far and what frankly have you enjoyed the least? There's a long list for the most. If I had to pick the one thing that I appreciate the most, at least in my opinion, I think there's a little bit more of a breath of fresh air for victims in some areas. We have partnered with Safe Harbor in domestic violence cases and we've created an education resource discussion. If a victim has a no contact order as a part of a domestic violence case and they would like to have that order modified for any reason so that they're allowed contact. In the past there's always been a concern that some people feel forced or obligated. Sometimes we had concerns that people just wanted to have that person back in the home because they needed a place to stay and that person's name was on the lease or they needed transportation or some resource and they thought their only option was to have that person come back in. And unfortunately domestic violence is not only bad for that victim but the effects of domestic violence on children is huge and I don't think people really pay attention or appreciate it. The education resource discussion is a session that we ask all victims to go through and we object if victims in DVO cases do not go through it, we object to modifying that bond. I have learned through that program that victims are getting an education about what is domestic violence, how does it affect children, what are the resources in the county for your living situation, transportation, ability to have phone and phone access, babysitting. And on top of that they do a safety plan. So if and when there's domestic violence or violence again, that victim has thought about what they will do and how they will make sure they and their family are safe. And there have been victims who have gone through that program with a better appreciation and understanding, they're protecting their children and some of them decide they don't want that modification afterwards. We're also working very closely with Safe Harbor in regards to advocates for victims of crime to make sure that victims know they have support and they have strength. I'd like to say that we're focusing on those victims because they're the ones that were harmed by this crime primarily and we're giving them a voice and opportunity and we're standing up for them. That is what I really appreciate. What I like least, there can be many challenges to this job. What concerns me the most is that there are times I need two prosecutors in a court. I have another prosecutor who's leaving because life is easier with a different job because children at home are saying when are you gonna be done with your work? When can we finally have family time? So I have prosecutors that have a dedication, a heart and passion for the job but they have to step away because they have too many cases and not enough time in the day. And what I'd love to see and we're working on efficiencies to maximize their time in the office but I'd like to see the state step up to the plate and other things we can do and I'm looking at some diversion programs too to get some people some solid counseling and treatment. I'd like to make it so that I don't have prosecutors saying I don't have time or boy, I really want to do something with my kids or my family and I couldn't because of this job. So we're trying to make changes because that one challenge, that one problem has bothered me more than any other. I don't like it when prosecutors have to sacrifice their own lives and family time because of the dedication they have to the job. I'd like them to be able to have a family and enjoy it and get their job done and do it well too. Thank you, Joel. Tom. Thanks for coming, Joel. Obviously we've talked about your case, the caseloads are high and we know that, that's why the county put forth an additional assistant DA. How many cases do you on average handle in a year in the DA's office? As far as criminal adult cases, we're looking just over 2,000 and about 800 of those are felony. So felony are we have the possibility of going to prison and they typically have the most on the line and sometimes they have the most evidence to them as well. So they take the most amount of work. The rest of those criminal cases are going to be misdemeanor cases, whether that's traffic or non-traffic. But our office, as I said, handles juvenile matters and other non-criminal ordinance offenses. Those we're looking at around 2,000 cases too. So all in all, last year we had just over 4,100 cases coming through our office. Now that does not add to the number of cases that we review and decide there shouldn't be charges or maybe the warrants that we execute where evidence is not found. There were about 5,000 referrals of potential criminal violations and referrals to us in general last year. So very busy office, a lot of activity on a regular basis. And just a quick comment, I assume relative to when you're, if you do have turnover, that creates just natural inefficiencies as you have to train people, et cetera. There's some lost time there too. Right, a lot of the people that unfortunately or fortunately, depends how you look at it, come into our office or people straight out of law school. I tell people all the time, I can't teach you passion and desire for the job or heart to do the job. I can teach you criminal law. And there are a lot of people coming out of law school that they have the heart and passion and we teach them the criminal law, but it takes time. So a lot of new people and it does slow us down a little bit, but one of the people we just hired in January too, two of the people we hired are fantastic. They're excellent, they're doing great work. Judges have recognized how good they are and the asset they're bringing to the county. We have a new person that started this week. She's got the heart and she's got the passion. She'll be an asset too. Now unfortunately, we have another seasoned person who's leaving and will be involved in the hiring process and find another person, but it's the young people, a mix with the old people. It's the dedication of our crew that is the glue that sticks us together that helps us move forward. Thank you. Do you see any trends in Sheboyin County as it relates to criminal activity? Heroin is still a major problem. That's starting to transition into methamphetamine. It had been prescription pill abuse. That went to heroin, then methamphetamine and that's where we're finding ourselves still. In addition, one of the trends that's very disturbing to me is sexting and unfortunately that sexting is going all the way to middle school. So sexting would be primarily sending nude or semi-nude pictures or videos, typically via text message. Unfortunately, when I go out to middle schools, I was at one county middle school earlier this year. We were talking to about seventh graders, about a third of them knew someone who had sent or received a sext. I talked to the counselors and or teachers in these sessions and I ask, how big of a problem is it here? And every single one has said it's huge. So one of the major problems we have are these kids that are sending, they don't realize for the most part what they're doing is possessing and sending child pornography. Thank you. How do you and your staff prioritize the type of cases and you're gonna, some after you wanna move faster on them than others? In some way you don't have a choice. When a crime happens and arrest is made, we have to step in. We certainly don't want someone who is arrested to say, we'll deal with you later because we don't have time. That's not being responsible. Some defendants enter speedy trial demands, which means we have a statutory timeframe by which we need to act unless there are complexities to the case to grant more time. Otherwise, we merely look at the cases and we decide, how can we best handle it? When there are identified specific victims, not just the county, we try and address those sooner if we can or faster. When we have sexual assaults of children, we certainly wanna get those resolved as quickly as we can. Oftentimes you like to resolve them when it's a summer situation before school starts so that child has a fresh start and sometimes the worst thing for a victim of a sexual assault is school. Sometimes their first thought is, I can't go to school. What are my classmates or peers going to say? So those cases we try and get done quickly. That being said, those cases also sometimes take the most work and effort. Sometimes they go on for six, nine or even 12 months. But we try and get them done because we appreciate the effect on the victims. Besides obviously your own office and the courthouse, you work with other county departments. You wanna talk about that a little? We work very closely with a lot of departments and one way I'm trying to work on efficiency is to work better with those departments. So corporation council, we're trying to work better as it relates to how do we handle child support cases when people fail to provide that support for their children. We're trying to work and we work with them about a different way to refer cases for us to prosecute them. Mental health, there are many people that enter the criminal system or at least are arrested because there are mental health issues. We're trying to work with them so that we can identify who really needs to be criminally charged and what do we need to do as opposed to mental health and that system can step in. We work closely with the court commissioner's office, obviously with the judges. The circuit court and clerk of court's office, we're working with them as e-filing is starting soon among other projects to make sure we're working well with them. Department of Social Services for all of our juvenile cases and TPR cases to prioritize which cases should be filed and when should they be filed. I'll be working and I've started working very closely with Cheboygan area school district to try and work on some of the trauma effect that crimes and being a witness to crime can have and how can we get knowledge and resources out to students as well as to parents, counselors and teachers and those are just a few of the agencies we're trying to work closely with as we try and really work efficiently and gather as much information as we need to be justifiable in what we're recommending and to have justice be done and ultimately to give to the judges so the judges can give the right sentence because no matter what we recommend at the end of the day, it's the judges that need the information and give the sentence to be the end result of the case. Not going on by far. I'll turn it over to Adam then. Not a lot of time remaining but excellent overview, a lot of good information here and obviously if you have questions or want to learn more don't hesitate to contact Joel or want to have a staff. If they have an opportunity, which I'm sure they'll make, a busy place, heavy lifting, you've already talked about some of the changes you've made. What are some of the changes you'd like to make going forward as you look at next year and beyond? There are a lot of things I'd like to do. Some efforts have already been made, some we've put out in the distance a little bit because we have new people and new responsibilities. One thing we're trying to work on is a program for young individuals, whether they would be 17 or older, so criminal or under the juvenile code, we'd like to create kind of a rehabilitation second chance type program where they can not have to be involved in a formal setting of a criminal case but they can get some counseling, some treatment, some community service, some understanding and hopefully that is gonna be better than any criminal conviction could be for them. I'm working with multiple service providers so that we can try and create some diversion programs. Unfortunately our probation parole system is full. We like to say in the criminal system, we're gonna put you on probation and as part of that probation is counseling and treatment but the reality is that for many of the people on probation they meet with their agent once every three or four months. So for one year probation, which is the maximum for many offenses, you meet with someone three or four times and you're done and oftentimes they're referred for counseling, they don't do it. What I would like to do is get approved quality treatment and if the defendant is willing to go through that treatment then at the end of that case maybe we dismiss, maybe we look at an ordinance, maybe it's a fine only or a smaller amount of jail. We save ourselves bed space for the detention center. We hold people accountable because they've gotten quality treatment that they really wouldn't have gotten even with that conviction and for some people without a criminal conviction their life and that for the victims and family can be better but we're also holding accountable because we're tracking all of that information and if they come back again with a crime, we say to the judge, we gave them that chance and this is what they did and certainly in our own rhyme we're thinking we gave you that opportunity and now we need to look at them differently. I wanna work more closely with all the school districts. I wanna make sure that students who are victims or witnesses are able to have a voice and they're able to have someone know what's happening for them in their home. The effect of trauma is significant and people are starting to learn more about that. I wanna make sure that there are counselors, parents, teachers that can be out there to provide some counseling and treatment and oversight to help those young people. We're also bringing in people not just to our office but the court system in general for training. I want Shabuigan County's DA's office to be known as the office to go to as experts in what they do. They do it right, they do it smart, they do it fair. So we're working on additional treatment and bringing in invited guests to make sure that we're on top of everything we need to be in charge of not just for ourselves and the office but ultimately for the entire county. I think it's a wonderful vision and I have to believe the folks that took the time to watch this program appreciate what you're doing and where you're headed. We only have two minutes remaining. In a minute or less, what do you see as the greatest barrier or obstacles to bringing that vision to reality? Right now unfortunately I say it's staffing issues. They say as just an example, a sexual assault case should take 100 hours to prepare and be ready for trial. Same thing for a homicide case. Unfortunately the way things work for most of the attorneys in our office, we start preparing a case for a jury trial maybe two weeks prior to trial. More often it's about a week. We are not putting in 100 hours worth of time to do what the state says we should be able to do to be prepared in those cases. If we had more prosecutors or if we were able to work out a system potentially with the courts that we could be more prosecutor time per case, we could really do some amazing work. And all of those things that I've talked about, I would have a chance to get out in the community more for education. I'd be able to work with some of those treatment providers to ultimately put together a great program where we can provide treatment, counseling and benefits to the community. I wish there were more time in the day. If we had more hours, I can't do that, but if we could have some more people and some more efficiencies, we could start seeing some positives and some of those goals would come to fruition faster. District Attorney Joel Armansky started January as our new elected DA, has been with the office since 2006. And I hope like Chairman Wagner and I, you gained an appreciation for the very important work that you do, that your staff do. Thank you for being here today and sharing some wonderful insight and information. Thank you, appreciate it. Next month, we're gonna have another department head here who used to be elected and is now appointed, the coroner who is now the medical examiner, Dave Lafine's gonna be here to talk about his roles and responsibilities, always very interesting as well. So until then, I hope you're having a safe and wonderful summer and we'll see you next month.


Therefore, it's time for Member Statements to the member from Wellington Halton House. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I rise in this House today to urge the Minister of Transportation to respond appropriately to the expressed will of this House. On September 28th, the Interior Legislature unanimously passed our resolution calling upon the Minister to partner with the town of Halton Hills to develop a long-term transportation strategy for the town, including a review of the need for a Highway 7 act and bypass, taking into account the need for improved safety, efficiency and economic development opportunities. During the debate on our resolution, I was very encouraged by the remarks of the Minister of Transportation's parliamentary assistant, the Member for Kitchener's Centre. She said, and I quote from Hansard, I can assure the Member and every other Member of this House that the Ministry is going to continue to actively participate in this study. We're going to need to see if there's anything else we can do at the provincial level to improve both safety and the efficiency of this stretch of Highway 7, end quote. I've recently heard from the town of Halton Hills telling me that they are still experiencing difficulties with the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry continues to raise challenges for the proposed new business development at the 340 Main Street North Acton property and we are concerned that this may call into question the whole project. The Minister needs to intervene. We are offering to partner with the Minister and we need him to be a funding partner. I have followed up with the Minister of Transportation who I acknowledge has responded to some of my requests on behalf of our writing and since the passage of our resolution I have written to him and spoken to him several times about our proposed partnership. Today I urge him to respect the expressed will of this House and partner with us. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Further member statements? You can tell me that if they don't stand and statements are over. The member from the Tobacco Center. Thank you very much Speaker. This week is Holodomor Awareness Week Speaker and I stand to pay tribute to the victims of the Holodomor. This week we pay tribute to the anniversary of the famine genocide of 1932-33 known as the Holodomor.  A population that sought the same freedom, the same independence that the people of Ukraine are fighting for at this very moment, this very day. Seventeen people per minute, one thousand per hour and twenty five thousand per day were dying of famine at the height of the Holodomor. The world was silent and millions died as a result. My grandmother was a survivor of the Holodomor and she lost three of her brothers to the Soviet regime and she once told me that she hoped that the victims of the Holodomor would not only be remembered but honoured. Honoured she sent meant not just remembering them or commemorating them but taking the steps to make sure that a crime like this one never happens again. That is why I am so proud Speaker to stand here today on behalf of our government and on behalf of the Ukrainian-Canadian community who worked so hard and have succeeded in ensuring that the Holodomor is now in the Ontario curriculum so that every young person can learn about the Holodomor and this government funded or helped to fund the Holodomor Mobile Class which travels the province teaching children about the Holodomor. Today Speaker I hope we take this opportunity to remember and commemorate the victims but also renew our efforts to ensure that a crime like this one never happens again. Let us do as my grandmother would have asked if she were here today. Let us remember the victims. Let us commemorate the victims. Let us honour them. Thank you Speaker. Thank you. Member Samus, the member from Whitby Oshawa. Thank you Speaker and I rise to speak about the love shouldn't hurt campaign. Sadly in Ontario a woman is killed every six days by her partner and in Durham region one in three people will experience abuse in their lifetime. Speaker I recently had the honour to participate in the Violence Prevention Coordinating Council of Durham's launch of the love shouldn't hurt campaign at the YWCA's Adelaide House in Oshawa. The Violence Prevention Coordinating Council of Durham represents over 30 organisations who work collaboratively speaker to create a safe community for families and individuals who have been impacted by violence and abuse in any form including domestic violence, sexual assault and child or elder abuse. This year alone Speaker Durham communities have mourned the loss of three women whose lives were violently taken by their partners which changed the lives of their children and families forever. Through the love shouldn't hurt campaign together we'll educate business, organisations and individual speaker about eliminating violence against women, how men in particular can be part of the solution, healthy versus unhealthy relationships and the impact on families and communities. Together speaker we're saving lives, changing lives. Love shouldn't hurt speaker. Thank you. Member statements from the member from Nickel Belt. Thank you Speaker. Tomorrow I will for the third time join 12 dedicated, compassionate and good hearted women working for the Sudbury counselling services. These women have been on the picket line for six long weeks in freezing rain, wind, snow, sleet and below zero temperature. These striking women offer psychotherapy and counselling services to the people of Sudbury and Nickel Belt but also clients further away like Manitoulin Island or Sturgeon Falls. Many of their services especially the Francophone services are not available anywhere else in our region. This dispute is not about wages Speaker. These workers have had a collective agreement in place for over 30 years. They are loyal staff member with no history of problem with their collective agreement. But for the last six weeks the people of Sudbury are without the counselling and the program that they need when going through some very difficult circumstances such as sexual assault, domestic violence or mental illness. Some of the counselling is court mandated which means that right now some of their clients are heading back to jail because the counsellors are on strike. These women are professional mediators and counsellors. Their profession is all about finding common ground. So I can't understand how come they are still on strike. I urge the Minister of Community and Social Services, the Attorney General, the Minister of Transportation and the Minister of Labor to help bring an end to this way too long and way too cold labor dispute. Thank you. Further member statements? The member from Ottawa. Thank you Speaker. Speaker, I was pleased earlier today to join you and many of my colleagues and members of the Lebanese community to raise the Lebanese flag in recognition of Lebanese Independence Day which is November 22, 1943. So this is the 74th anniversary. So also on Monday I was able to attend Lebanon Day at Ottawa Welcomes a World which is a celebration that we have for many different countries across the world in Ottawa and it was a wonderful celebration, great food and there was an opportunity to celebrate the rich cultural history that is Lebanon, that Lebanon has I should say. It was also an opportunity for the community to thank Ambassador Sammy Haddad, his wife Nadia, his children Joseph, Peter, Jad and Michael for their contributions during their posting in Ottawa. I also would like to personally thank Ambassador Haddad for his hospitality, his genuine graciousness and openness in all the dealings that I've had with him. Speaker, last year I introduced Bill 60 in act of proclaiming November as Lebanese Heritage Month to recognize the vibrant Lebanese community in Ottawa, Ontario and Canada and the contributions in science, education, medicine, law, politics, business and sports to our great country. I was encouraged by the words of my colleagues and the unanimous support that the bill received in the Legislature and Speaker, I look forward to continuing to work with all my colleagues to get Bill 60 passed and proclaim November as Lebanese Heritage Month here in Ontario. Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, as I've mentioned many times in the Legislature, my writing has been hard hit by layoffs and plant closures but Oxford is still a home to many great manufacturers, businesses, farms, restaurants and retailers, something I have promoted as part of my shop local by local campaign. While visiting local businesses it's been great to see the variety of products and services available so close to home and the passion those business owners have for their work and their communities. As people begin their Christmas shopping I encourage them, everyone, to give their community a gift by shopping local. Shopping local in Oxford is encouraged by many local organizations including the BIAs and the Chamber of Commerce as well as Tourism Oxford who produce an Oxford fresh map highlighting local agri-food industries and tourist destinations. But the province also has a role to play in keeping local business thriving which is why I have been visiting local business around my writing to hear their concerns and to better understand the challenges they faced as a result of increasing cost of doing business in Ontario like the high cost of hydro. In my writing a number of municipalities have passed resolutions supporting my shop local by local campaign and encouraging the provincial government to support small local businesses and make it easier for businesses to operate in Ontario. With the holiday season approaching I encourage everyone to look locally for gifts, produce, decorations or activities. When you support our local economy we're helping to keep our businesses and jobs in our community. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Further member statements? The member from Toronto Danforth. Speaker thank you. Speaker the Lakeshore East Rail corridor cuts diagonally through my writing from the southwest corner up to Cockswell and Danforth and there has been a process ongoing of assessment for expansion of that rail line very necessary transit improvements in the GTA and just recently November 20th the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change gave notice to proceed to Metrolinx saying that they were satisfied with the documents that have been brought forward. Speaker there's great support in my writing for expansion of transit but there is also great concern that it be done well and that the people the thousands of them who live along that rail line have their interests protected in terms of noise vibration the visual impact people on Ivy Avenue Wardell Degrassi McGee people in old Riverdale have all expressed their concerns directly to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change and as far as I can tell none of their concerns are reflected in the document put out by the Minister of Environment and Climate Change. That speaker is very disturbing. People engaged in this process on a good faith basis. The credibility of the Ministry the credibility of Metrolinx is tied to whether or not they respond to legitimate concerns of this population. I expect to have talks with both those bodies but speaker ignoring the public when they raise substantial and reasonable concerns reflects very badly on this government. Thank you. Member from Beaches East York well thank you speaker we have a very busy couple of weeks coming up in Beaches East York in addition to dozens of bazaars from churches and Christmas sales we have a number of very much larger events that make our community a truly special corner of the province this Saturday we'll be lighting up East Lynn Park it's near Danforth Woodbine Avenue with the help of Danforth East Community Association this is an amazing group that just recently celebrated their 10th anniversary Deca runs a pioneering pop-up show program they operate a standout farmers market and they do incredible work with many refugee families that have come to Toronto congratulations on their anniversary and on Sunday we'll be marching I'll be marching in the Community Center 55 annual Santa Claus Parade which helps generate funds for the hamper program Center 55 throughout December they will have hundreds of volunteers donating sorting packing and delivering over 900 Christmas hampers to families in need and individuals in Beaches East York these packages include a full Christmas dinner as well as gifts for families with the turkey trimmings toys personal care products hand knit mittens and much more including food and food for their pets next weekend in Beaches York we will help light up the beach in the Q park in two events one run by the Declute Union Realty Company which sees trees lit up the length the length of our beaches boardwalk in support of Michael Garen Hospital and one by the beaches Lions that brings a warm holiday glow to Q park as you can tell speaker we are spoiled for Harald a spirit beaches East York and I encourage all members to come down and enjoy our local festivities thank you thank you for the members same as the members from Farnill thank you very much Mr. speaker and as a dog owner I'm very excited to talk about the Wolf of Palooza organization it's a volunteer not-for-profit organization that promotes and engages the dog community in the city of Vaughan and supports and creates awareness for animal shelters rescues and other pet related causes now last Friday November 17th they had a big fur ball and unfortunately I cannot attend I was called to Montreal for a family emergency but my friend Steven Leche was there and he was walking a dog Milo it was a French bulldog in the fashion show and the fashion show is the paw paw ish Kutcher fashion show and they had a dinner a silent auction a video presentation DJ and dancing and lots of fun I want to give a shout out to the organizer and founder of the organization Karina Pauletti who is an animal control officer a vet assistant a pet groomer and her assistance Mikaela Doria the event coordinator and Melissa Kuzaris who's also an event coordinator as well as a registered vet technician and of course there's lots of happy tales to take tail but this is a tail TAL and June 10th 2018 will be the third annual Wolf of Palooza event so come to that with your dogs I'm looking forward to seeing lots of registered pets there Mr. Speaker so so I hope that everybody will do their best to support this initiative and looking forward to seeing you all at the event thank you to all the members for their statements it's there for now time for reports by committees


already shirt-off style yeah it's always already here this what is sought fulfillment freedom wholeness perfection unconditional love all of that is this here already and it's hidden by the pursuit of finding it seeking hides the fulfillment that it already is it's beyond simple it's super ordinary this just this already doesn't matter what it's appearing as just this already yes in the live chat this is it wanting to know this is this having the experience that there is something else unknowing wanting to know is the same this thing there's nowhere to go full checkmate full end of seeking full dissolution of dissatisfied center point looking for knowing yeah there's no chance there's no chance that what already is can be found yes after so many years of seeking and running after different types of meditations I came across this message and it was huge relief spot-on yes nowhere to go no one to go anywhere it's great that a parent a story a seeker that was seen to be an illusion by no one even that story itself is not worth mentioning and it's all of the spiritual discourses are all about me's that are on spiritual journeys and so when it hits this wall of no story no journey already fulfillment it is a huge relief it is a huge relief there's this endless types of meditations as endless experiences endless books endless teachings one of the favorite questions that this has been asking those that it encounters that are on spiritual journeys is what are you seeking what are you looking for have you ever met anyone that said that they found what they were looking for have you ever met someone that have you ever met someone that said that there wasn't a you or that asked you if there even was a real you has there ever been a consideration that there isn't separation to overcome in the first place that there isn't even an entity there in the first place that there are no individuals in the first place yeah these questions get more and more undermining the seeker and cutting the duality of the seeker and it's it's beautiful yeah shirt I can't take it let me wait I need to change the there we go okay now you can you can see my there we go much better how can there even be a discussion on the subject of non duality without nipple rubs impossible another really fun response to the seeking energy is just wolf wolf wolf just undermining it with what is a reflection of just natural wordless wholeness innocence emptiness the word already is very powerful it doesn't allow any wiggle room for it to not be already what is long for already is the perfect word to undermine the seeker unknowing is also a very powerful undermining word and it's always that yeah so much of this is just nowhere to go nothing to say no one to say it no one to hear it dowing is very effortless basic needs abundance prosperity play only in that stinky little pond of me is that not obvious the whole function of the body when there's that me is about what it can get and when it's no longer there and it never was then it's about the whole because there's only that there's a comment about the about the hair and about it getting lasered no I love this there's so much cherishing of this yeah yes there's no way around it being what is yes same love yeah there's there's so there's both endless riffing and then there's nothing to say it's obviously already this and there's nowhere to go because everything is it and there's no way to get closer to it or further from it it can't be lost it can't be found it's already no one everything it's already that it's already non-local it's already nothing and it's already not lost so then it can't be attained if it's not lost it can't be attained already means not lost already means never lost switched up a bit put the guest camera up over here so we got two angles on the side yeah not to leaves no room for any kind of to it doesn't leave any room for it not being already so obviously that's very annoying to me which lives in duality and it's just all unconditional love so even me that is in its cloud of knowing just seeking more experiences and just pinballing between concepts and boxes and trying to get validated for how much it knows and how smart and worthy it is even that is unconditional love appearing as that and there's no value structure it's not saying that that is better or worse because that would again be a duality there's nothing to say about the already nature of it the already nature is ineffably appearing as everything no matter what's appearing it's that it's wholeness already perfection already freedom already appearing as whatever is arising and that's freedom that's freedom it's not something that will be gotten later it's what the nature of everything already always is the easing itself is wholeness it's freedom love the emptiness of there not being an entity of there not being a subject of there not being a me or an individual is in fact the wholeness is the fulfillment that is sought but me or the individual it can't imagine a reality without it but wholeness is the absence of me it is the absence of the individual it's the freedom of non-local unity a positionless locationless unity and there's all kinds of things that still get attached to all kinds of traditions and wisdoms and practices and paths manifestations and teachings mystical traditions all kinds of things that get attached to and all of those dissolve nothing remains nothing remains nothing remains all of the attachments are just seen as boxes bounds identities even dowing itself is just what this body naturally spontaneously appears to do how it appears to be and everything is that everything is that natural body spontaneity and then there's a contracted appropriation that arises that is me that lacks and needs and wants to know and tries to box and bound and control and manipulate the appearance in the way that it do listically desires for it to be and so then it tells people oh which are non-entities so it's telling no one it's no one telling no one oh well you should be this way you should behave this way you should think this way you should side with this group yeah yeah when me is no longer not only is it seen that it never was but there's a impossible to describe freshness and newness and aliveness and rawness unfilteredness intimacy with everything as everything me is always manipulating or controlling the appearance to get something out of it which is usually validate me for how much I know for how smart I am for how good of a boy or girl or man or woman I validate my separate existence validate my individuality validate the gold stars that I've attained in the conceptual elaborations are just endless endless endless conceptual elaborations on all kinds of things and there's even there's even a conceptual elaboration of what emptiness is and it's obviously not it because they're still an individual there apparently so me even knows how to hijack emptiness and then say no or I know what that is no there wouldn't be a you and there wouldn't be knowing and there wouldn't be seeking nor would there be manipulating appearance to try to be validated if there was actually no one and that's just how the field morphs that's how the cookie crumbles how how the boundless apparently energetically contracts into its me distortion which is obviously still unconditional love undergoing that appearance yeah none of this can actually be ever said yeah imagine trying to take what can't be said or the ineffable and trying to say what it is can't say what everything is and so not to is one of the closest ways to say what everything is and already is a great way to say it unknowing is a great way to say it emptiness wholeness unconditional love freedom it's just too free to be talked about it's too free it's so free that anything can happen anything can appear no thing can appear as anything and so that's how free it is when no thing is appearing as me how me appears is lack need and when no thing is appearing as everything it's dowing it's wholenessing and that's really the only thing that you can say about it is it's all undifferentiated and when there is that bodily contraction of separation and of lack and need then that appears as an insatiable knowing an insatiable meeting or selfing wholeness is appearing as that and wholeness when it's not appearing as that is obviously no thing everything and therefore doesn't have that lack need manipulating the appearance for insatiable knowing trying to get something that's not missing yeah the knee jerk reaction of the mind is to figure everything out yes me wants the appearance to be a certain way it's not satisfied with the appearance and it wants it to be a certain way and so it will grab and control and twist everything until it gets its way and it doesn't matter what how it has to grab twist so if it has to take others and enslave them it will because it doesn't care it wants to be validated as kingly or queenly and so being a ruler of a nation state or a massive corporation it doesn't care about others it doesn't care about the way that it treats those that are beneath them just doesn't care is that boundless energy is contracted into a center point and that center point cares about itself and then it cares about its family and then it cares about its company or its nation state and then it cares about how it's perceived how that center point that's an illusion is perceived by illusory others and so if it has to manipulate other nation states if it has to pillage their resources if it has to enslave their people if it has to offer very very low egregiously low paying work if it has to not give any benefits to those workers it just if it doesn't give any shares or inclusive stakeholder of the projects that are being created it just doesn't care it doesn't care me is the most aggressively dissatisfied energy imaginable it's so aggressively dissatisfied that it will take every single precaution imaginable to maintain its center pointness to maintain that strong contracted identity because i am good i am real i am smart my people are better than your people and if we have to drop bombs on your people we will we will pillage your resources we will write contracts that favor our people because your people are less than my people and so all of that is completely made of unconditional love all of that's completely no one or nothing undergoing that crazy beautiful illusory contractive dance and this stream is about already and there will be another upcoming stream about all of that what has been called separation porn which is this main way that this no thing apparently gets lost in war and all the separation porn and it's never lost it's always perfect but that's one of the best ways to be able to describe what it is because it's a bunch of stinky ponds of me that are projecting others and fighting against them and then there's a bunch of people on the internet or wherever non entities that are watching eating popcorn and oh look at this separation porn which side do you want to pick let's retweet about which side is better than the other side yeah and all of that completely hides this it just totally hides it separation is never actually there it's always non separate it's always wholeness it's always non local and then this is crazy ability miraculous really ability for something that's non local to contract itself into an illusory center point that then projects others that then it then fights that's the most psychedelic thing imaginable that's the trippiest thing imaginable that that's possible something that's obviously nothing everything that's obviously a singularity it's obviously a unified wholeness that is non local that is non entity somehow that can contract into the experience in the body of i'm separate and unhaul and that's another that i must kill much love back yet yeah in the live chat so yeah yeah this is this is the thing what is speaking and what is hearing is perfect it's non local it's unconditionally free and it's already and there's nowhere to go from that there's nowhere to go as that that is the alpha and omega it's beginning lessness and endlessness it's that and it's already it's already these streams that's the that's the tab and let's go these are great nice it's already nothing there's nowhere to go it's already nothing it's already free it's already wholeness it can never not be it's great it's just an absolute cessation of anything to say it's nothing to say there's no one saying it there's no one hearing it it's just perfect freedom itself what is always sought is this here everywhereing nowing forever perfection it's so so incredibly simple ordinary and awesome yeah so perfect so simple and it's crazy spontaneous wild bouncy and free as fuck so whatever is appearing just wow it's just impossible for anything to not be unconditional love and freedom everything is always unconditional love and freedom everything is always no one what can you do with that where can you go with that nowhere so this is completely intentionless it's just spontaneous sharing and it seems to be a response to what the appearance is warring and in separation porn of all sorts in new age spirituality of all sorts seeking his ads off fighting and so this is just a response this is a response to that in the appearance and it's a it's a response that there's only no thing everything and that from that wholeness is downess it's dowing it's decentralizing basically needs play fun prosperity abundance for all and it's just wildly simple it's wildly wildly simple there's no extra complex elaborations there's no complex rights or rituals or therapies or initiations or experiences or attainments or coaches or gurus or manifestations or trauma work or healing or psychedelics or meditations or breathworks there's none of those complex things here here is just a simple response that there is no individual there is no me there is no center point there's only nothing everything and as long as there is a center point as long as there is that illusory assumption and contracted belief and knowing as long as that's there there will be others there will be war there will be separation there will be seeking wholeness or seeking fulfillment in endless kinds of ways and that is simply mutually assured destruction here in this apparent real and unreal earth there's nothing more to say about it there's dowing and there's meeting and that's all there is and those the appearance of that being two is actually obviously one it's all obviously nothing nothing naturally dows and it in contraction it means that's it it's nothing else to say there's nothing else to say it's so obvious as long as there's me as long as there's center point it will always be about me it will always be about the center point okay when that center point is clearly seen by no one by nothing that it's an illusion and it isn't it doesn't exist it's not actually there then it's obvious that wholeness or dowing is the natural spontaneous movement of the body in the appearance yeah it's just it's just fascinating ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit you send emojis in the live chat and I'll do my best to make some sort of artistic representation of them we just got a frog obviously imagine if we got a bear and I did all that frogs in the meanwhile we should definitely get another let's do that and let's get a zoom out yeah so we can get a nice little nipple session going in the meanwhile nipple session yeah yeah yeah nipple session yeah yeah yeah nipples yeah yeah ariola on the nipples ariola on the nipples yeah yeah ariola on the nipples flick them flick them flick those nips flick them flick them flick them okay that was our nipple session it was so fun on the on the news of the local community it just cuts from the weather to to a 60 second nipple session where there's just the rubbing of the nips you see we're doing civilization all wrong should have the minute long nipple hour minute long nipple segment absolutely nothing is serious nothing at all is serious how could this be serious I mean nothing when it's in its illusory contraction warring against itself is obviously serious but nothing is obviously ridiculous it's it's so ridiculous it's so innocent it's so innocent that and free that and already that there's the ridiculous appearance of what that innocent free alreadyness can appear as which is is serious war and hating of others all the way to incredible burgers and sushi and flights across the planet that's why there's such a draw in a way to comedy at least here there's such a draw to comedy and there's so much excitement there was just today there was a messaging of a lot of of a lot of well-known comedians inviting them onto the podcast and just imagining sitting like this with Burt Burt Kreischer you know that kind of stuff just like and just it just reminds me so much the comedic side the comedy reminds me so much of nothingness it reminds me so much of everything it reminds me perfectly of that because absolutely absurd absurd is another great way to say it it's absurd it's completely absurd it's extremely unpredictable it's super chaotic yeah because it's so free it can't be predicted or can't be ordered it's just too free boxing air is not possible or boxing the ocean it's just not possible jeez what is all of this just like what how is this even what it's just so miraculously perfect and simple it's like okay it's just like an absolute unknowing okay an absolute no wanting no thinking everyone and everything a non locality a non positionality a non orientability okay okay unbelievably simple so what basic needs infrastructures players play have fun laugh be silly enjoy eat well drink well be merry fuck real good uh uh uh bang it uh get all those good blowjobs eating out anal three sums gang bangs glorials come shots orgasms all the good sex all the good food all the good music drinks play dance it's just endless joy and basic needs freedom just freedom just freedom that's already there's nowhere to go but this freedom this freedom that's already here now forever has never left has never moved but is appearing to move it's just too it's too simple it's too simple and it has nothing to do with knowing it just has everything to do with no thing and there's no one that gets to know no thing nobody gets to earn no thing as an attainment what's left is just the ineffable whole that's it it's just a mystery everythinging non locally it's always been that way there's never been a you there's never been a me there's never been an individual there's only been the whole as long as there's an individual as long as there's a me as long as there's that center point it's always gonna be war conflict violence more for me less for you fuck your people but as long as that center point is seen through by no one by nothing that it's already made of then it's dowing it's effortless basic needs fun play everything imaginable feel like this is this is such a a broken record it's just so funny it's just the same it's just the absolute same it's like you can't go anywhere from here it's just simply this and it's always and already and it's unconditionally free and it's always whole and it's dowing and when there's that contraction there's me apparently so it's just okay there's nowhere there's just nowhere this is nowhere everywhere ink all right i'm going to take a little bit of rest probably stream again tomorrow we'll see on on what topic it's good to get the the already one got some interesting ones coming up all right cool we'll see we'll see all right thanks for tuning in much love this non-local oh no thing this all ready free ways and already free ready free sing with me all free free free free free free


So I actually never thought I'd say this. Definitely didn't think it would happen any time soon. But people, I'm actually loving Destiny 2 again. What is wrong with me? How's it going guys? My name's DPJ and if you enjoyed this video leave a like really helps out. And if you like what you see and want to see more, be sure to subscribe. So many of you may know, I kinda fell out of love with Destiny 2 or Destiny as a whole a long time ago. Not long actually after the second game released. If you do remember the states of it, you can kinda understand where I'm coming from as we ended on a great game in Destiny 1. The expectations then for Destiny 2 were just off the charts. And with me, when Destiny 2 arrived, it did just miss something. I mean yeah it did go on to be a much better game but I just couldn't get back on board with it. And no, don't get it twisted folks, I still played for a long while and didn't make this conclusion overnight. It just lacked that spark for me I got when playing Destiny. The morning's word wake up and just wanted to play.  That really never happened with me with Destiny 2. I then took almost a year's break from the game while enjoying many other games. And trying to direct my YouTube channel away from just a single game in Destiny and Branch out. And I ended up having a great time playing other games such as Borderlands. Which did for a while feel that void I missed from Destiny. But it was much deeper than just falling out of love with Destiny. I thought for a long time I can't just base my channel on a single game. And with me wanting to branch out and find and play and post other games. With these things weighing on my mind and what to do on YouTube. It just got to a point where I just knew I needed to move on. And that is what I did. And although I still sat back and watched what was going on. I could see Destiny falling further and further away from the game I once loved. Now I properly returned last season I'd say. And to be honest I kind of enjoyed it. But it was still missing that spark for me I once had. I played for about a month and a half. And then just fell bored yet again. As there just wasn't anything there for me. But playing again properly this season. I won't lie. I first thought the season was just not there. It just didn't appeal. And I saw myself just turning off the game and not playing it again. But you know what? I played it. I played it even more. And well. I don't believe I'm actually going to say this guys. But I think I'm back in love with the game. I mean I've played it every day for possibly 12 hours since the season has started. I've been obsessed with getting and farming certain weapons like the bottom dollar. The shadow price. The Parandrom. New snipers. Better rolled armors and much much more. Farming like I used to. Enjoying it like I used to. I actually don't know where all this came from. It seems as though Destiny 2 now is hitting that void that I missed from Destiny 1. It's even got to a point where I like Gambit people. I mean I've already reset once. I'm close to getting that new CO2. The shiny gold one. I've done more night fools than I can ever remember trying to get that Parandrom. And it just reminds me of farming that Grasp and Malek from Omnigul. It's that kind of feeling I'm getting. People have even installed the app on my phone working grab banties on the fly. I mean best app ever.  Which for me is probably the best bit of content I've played since Destiny 1. And no, that's actually how I feel. I mean the mission is just so polished. I'm certain this isn't new content. And has been sitting there for months. Even the reward from it is that level of uniqueness I absolutely love. It for Scout rifles was like the Nolambion for snipers. Not the best in the game, but just super fun to use. Now the reason I'm probably feeling this way about Destiny 2 is the fact I'm looking at the game from a completely different angle now. But when the game first started I was doing it and playing it mainly from my YouTube channel. Times have changed an absolute ton. And my channel now isn't just dedicated to a single game. I'm looking forward to many new games. I mean I look forward to Cyberpunk I played it, I posted it. It did amazing on my channel. The game kind of fell off because it released in an absolute shocking state. But even before that Borderlands really did amazing on my channel. And it just showed me that branching out and putting my head down and getting to work would result in success away from Destiny. Coming back to Destiny now playing it and enjoying it knowing I don't have to stress over content from my channel I'm loving the game and that could be the reason why. And you know what people? I think this game will only get better. With the news of Bungie massively expanding their base within Seattle, doubling their headquarters or even more and opening another base of operations somewhere else I actually feel Destiny will only get much much better. I mean yes it will fall off for a certain period guys that's bad to happen. But overall I feel the game will pick up and be better than ever. It's just a feeling I have. I mean the game right now isn't perfect. There are still things that need improving, still things that need balancing and still things that need a proper hard looking at. But right now I'm enjoying the game. I'm waking up guys and looking forward to playing the game. And it's got to a point people where I may as well stream the game. As this is something I have planned in doing not solely streaming Destiny but I do want to stream on a regular basis here on YouTube and I intend to start very soon indeed. But like I said it won't just be Destiny. It will be many many different games. But Destiny will be one of the games on the list. And maybe people even expect a few more Destiny videos from me. I don't think I'll ever go back to the days of Destiny one where I was uploading upwards of 30 videos a week. Yes I know no one could keep up with me but I'm just going to take it easy from now on with the game and upload here and there. Maybe a few PvE and PvP challenges just for your guys entertainment. But we will see. But yes I don't know what's wrong with you guys I'm actually looking forward to playing the game. Weird I know. And I will end this video with this. I know people will state that they're not playing the game anymore as it's just all recycled content.  Destiny one loop being brought back etc etc. And although I fully understand this I also remember a time where people begged for the likes of such weapons to return. I can't tell you how much I want the Nolan Beyond to return because Destiny two is a much much better game its core foundations are much much better than what Destiny one ever was. It's more fluid. It's more polished. It's just a better game overall. And I think of it this way maybe Brunjie just wanted to first expand on Destiny one but were limited in terms of resources and tech and that's why Destiny two was made and I'm quite sure of the fact eventually you might see both games combined where most content from the first game will be available in the second. And you know what guys I am cruel with that as many aspects of Destiny one I do miss. Implement them into Destiny two and we're good. Just don't make those implementations take over new content for Destiny two. But the more this game starts to feel like Destiny one did not in terms of the way it played but the way it affected one's life the better in my opinion but here again that is just my opinion. But on that note the end of the video has arrived. If you enjoyed it leaving a like really helps out if you're new around here want to see more Destiny be sure to subscribe and hopefully people I will see you on that next one.
