Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Constance New Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, well, it was an interesting day at the
Speaker 2: White House today. One of the advantages of working nights
Speaker 2: is I can sort of during the day check out
Speaker 2: what's going on. And the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark
Speaker 2: Carney former Harvard University backup goaltenders. Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2: I was a backup goaltender too in college, so I
Speaker 2: believe me that's that's a tough position to play or
Speaker 2: not play. But he is the new Prime Minister, and
Speaker 2: he's was greeted at the White House Portico by President Trump.
Speaker 2: They both they recognize they they see certain things differently.
Speaker 2: But then they held a little greeting ceremony in the
Speaker 2: Oval office and took a questions and whether you like
Speaker 2: Donald Trump or not. And I know that there are
Speaker 2: a lot of people in my audience who like him
Speaker 2: and a lot of people who don't like him. One
Speaker 2: thing you have to give him some credit for, even
Speaker 2: those who don't like him, is his willingness to sit
Speaker 2: in front of cameras and answer questions and sometimes to
Speaker 2: do it in the presence of people with whom he
Speaker 2: may not be On all four squares meaning Voldemir Zelenski,
Speaker 2: the president of Ukraine or Mark Karney, the new newly
Speaker 2: elected Prime Minister of Canada. I thought that both President
Speaker 2: Trump I and Prime Minister Karnie conducted themselves diplomatically today.
Speaker 2: It was very clear that, look, they're a great ally
Speaker 2: of the United States. Does Trump really want care Hanna
Speaker 2: to be our first fifty first state. I find that
Speaker 2: hard to believe, because, first of all, I don't think
Speaker 2: the Canadians want to be our fifty first state. I
Speaker 2: think they like their position as a government a country
Speaker 2: that really is part of the Commonwealth of Britain, the
Speaker 2: United Kingdom, if you will. But I think Trump just
Speaker 2: loves living in the minds, in the brains, red free
Speaker 2: of a lot. He trolls people. That's what he does, so,
Speaker 2: whether it's on Alcatraz or on Canada. So this was
Speaker 2: let's see President Trump today. He talks about, well, this
Speaker 2: was I think this was yesterday. Okay, this was yesterday.
Speaker 2: Let me go to today. Okay, as soon as they
Speaker 2: open up questions, he knows. I mean, they could have
Speaker 2: made their polite opening remarks and then said, you know,
Speaker 2: shut it down or you know, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, we'll talk to you afterwards or whatever. No,
Speaker 2: we didn't made himself put him out there, and Connie
Speaker 2: did as well. And I thought Connie acquitted himself very nicely. Clearly,
Speaker 2: the hostility that existed between President Trump and Prime Minister
Speaker 2: Justin Trudeau doesn't necessarily follow on with Canadian Prime Minister Carne.
Speaker 2: So this is let's start it off with this is
Speaker 2: cut one seventeen with Trump is asked by I'm not
Speaker 2: sure who it was in the White House media war,
Speaker 2: but he's asked about Canada as the fifty first state,
Speaker 2: which again I think is ludicrous. I don't think that
Speaker 2: it's within any sphere or realm of possibility. But there's
Speaker 2: the question, and President Trump rose to the question.
Speaker 3: No, well, I still believe that, but you know, it
Speaker 3: takes two to tango, right, But no, I do. I mean,
Speaker 3: I believe it would be a massive tax cut for
Speaker 3: the Canadian citizens. You get free military, you get tremendous
Speaker 3: medical cares and other things. There would be a lot
Speaker 3: of advantages, but it would be a massive tax cut.
Speaker 3: And it's also a beautiful you know, as a real
Speaker 3: estate developer, you know, I'm a real estate developer at heart.
Speaker 2: When you get rid of that artificially drawn line.
Speaker 3: Somebody drew that line many years ago with like a ruler,
Speaker 3: just a straight line right across that top of the country.
Speaker 3: When you look at that beautiful formation when it's together.
Speaker 3: I'm a very artistic person, but when I looked at that,
Speaker 3: you know, I said, that's the way it was meant
Speaker 3: to be. But you know, I just I do feel
Speaker 3: it's much better for Canada. But we're not going to
Speaker 3: be discussing that unless somebody wants to discuss it. I
Speaker 3: think that there are tremendous benefits to the Canadian citizens,
Speaker 3: tremendously lower taxes, free military, which honestly would give you
Speaker 3: essentially anyway, because we're protecting Canada if you have had
Speaker 3: a problem. But I think you know it's it would
Speaker 3: really be a wonderful marriage because it's two places.
Speaker 2: They get along very well, They like each other along.
Speaker 2: While he was talking, there was some shots of the
Speaker 2: Canadian Prime Minister, who obviously was looking to get a
Speaker 2: word in edge wise. Good luck with that, mark, Prime
Speaker 2: Minister Carney, but he did this is cut number twenty three,
Speaker 2: and he very respectfully inserted himself into the conversation and
Speaker 2: there's a little bit back and forth which I think
Speaker 2: is interesting. Here we go cut twenty three, Rob.
Speaker 4: As you know from real estate, there are some places
Speaker 4: that are never for sale. We're sitting in one right now,
Speaker 4: you know, bucking and Palace.
Speaker 2: You visit it as well.
Speaker 4: And having met with the owners of Canada over the
Speaker 4: course of the campaign last several months, it's not for sale,
Speaker 4: won't be for sale ever. But the opportunity is in
Speaker 4: the partnership and what we can build together, and we
Speaker 4: have done in the past. And part of that, as
Speaker 4: the President just said, is with respect to our own security,
Speaker 4: and my government is committed for a step change in
Speaker 4: our investment in Canadian security and our partnership. And I'll
Speaker 4: say this as well, that the President has revitalized international security,
Speaker 4: revitalized NATO and us playing our full weight in NATO
Speaker 4: and that will.
Speaker 5: Be parts and they have. I must say, Canada is
Speaker 5: stepping up up the military participation because.
Speaker 2: Mark now you know they were low and now they're
Speaker 2: stepping it up.
Speaker 3: And that's a very important thing. But never say never,
Speaker 3: never say never.
Speaker 2: Well, look, part Mian so Chrony was very diplomatic. I
Speaker 2: gave an acknowledgment to our President Donald Trump, and obviously
Speaker 2: Trump was able to get the final word never say never.
Speaker 2: But look, is there anyone out there who actually thinks
Speaker 2: there is some thought there is some thought which I
Speaker 2: can explain on the other side of the break, that
Speaker 2: maybe President Trump has some hidden agenda. I can talk
Speaker 2: about that, but I want to hear from you. Do
Speaker 2: you agree with me that primarily President Trumps loves to
Speaker 2: troll the folks on the other side, He loves to
Speaker 2: be able to troll them from the position, from any position,
Speaker 2: but from the position of authority at the White House.
Speaker 2: And I thought all in all that both Prime Mister
Speaker 2: Corney and President Trump handled themselves pretty well today. If
Speaker 2: you've seen it, feel free if you have it. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about trolling. He's the king of trolling in my opinion.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And a lot of people take the bait. And we
Speaker 2: haven't even begun to discuss Alcatraz six one seven, two, five,
Speaker 2: four ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty.
Speaker 2: Why is Donald Trump baiting baiting the Prime Minister? I
Speaker 2: think he's just he's having fun. Uh, and he knows
Speaker 2: that he knows that he's in He gets the name
Speaker 2: of the paper. That's what I think, and I think
Speaker 2: he enjoys getting inside their head. We'll be back on
Speaker 2: the night's side. I got wide open lines six, which
Speaker 2: has surprised me. One seven, two, five, four to ten
Speaker 2: thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty riff
Speaker 2: Switch topics. Back on Nightside after this.
Speaker 1: Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm w b Z Boston's
Speaker 1: News Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, we're talking about President Trump's meeting today with
Speaker 2: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Now Carney campaigned against President Trump.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, President Trump probably h Carney
Speaker 2: was down to the polls, and President Trump injected him
Speaker 2: into the race, and he said today that probably Carney
Speaker 2: should thank him. I mean I think, look, I think
Speaker 2: Mark Carney can thank Donald Trump for being Prime Minister
Speaker 2: of Canada. Let me go first up to Wayne in Arlington, Massachusetts. Wayne,
Speaker 2: welcome first this hour on Nightside.
Speaker 1: Go right, Hitcher, Hey, Dan.
Speaker 6: Hey, nice to talk to you.
Speaker 7: Actually, I hail from Toronto originally, and I drove over
Speaker 7: here for the big two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
Speaker 7: Lexington and Conquered and there's so much to sea. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I'm still here.
Speaker 2: Well, isn't that great? So are you retired or how
Speaker 2: are you able to do that?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 7: I am somewhat yeah, and I'm frugal in how I travel,
Speaker 7: so you know, you can try to keep the expenses down,
Speaker 7: but it's not easy because there's such a difference in
Speaker 7: the dollar. Every US dollar costs a dollar forty four Canadian.
Speaker 7: So when you guys travel north, you get a great deal,
Speaker 7: but coming the other way it hurts yike.
Speaker 2: So I'm sorry. I'm sorry to hear that on your end.
Speaker 2: By the way, how'd you find Nightside if you just
Speaker 2: came down last month? Had you listened to us up
Speaker 2: in Canada?
Speaker 7: Oh, I've been listening to the WZ on and off
Speaker 7: for a long time, ever since my gosh, I earned
Speaker 7: myself a Larry Glick University T shirt.
Speaker 2: Oh well, if you're a Larry Glick University graduate and
Speaker 2: with a T shirt, obviously that's the that I stand
Speaker 2: in r of you. Larry was a great friend of mine.
Speaker 2: I worked with him. I was in TV at the time,
Speaker 2: and I would see him many nights in the way
Speaker 2: out the door before he was going on the air
Speaker 2: with his radio show Delightful Guy and more. People mentioned
Speaker 2: Larry click to be than you could imagine.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I miss him and I used to get
Speaker 7: the signal in Ottawa. It's not that far. Your signal
Speaker 7: is strong. You can pick up TV BUZ all over
Speaker 7: the Maritimes. I think even Southwest Newfoundland gets the signal,
Speaker 7: but definitely Quebec, Eastern Ontario, Southern Ontario.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of friends of mine in Canada,
Speaker 2: and matter of fact, I had one guy one night
Speaker 2: who was working a construction project. He's a regular listener
Speaker 2: from I'm not sure whether it was Quebec or wherever,
Speaker 2: Nova Scotia. He was working a project in Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba,
Speaker 2: and he was listening to us on the ten Trainsist
Speaker 2: radio in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Of course, people can listen now
Speaker 2: on the internet, which makes it a lot easier. So
Speaker 2: what is your thought today? Did you get a chance
Speaker 2: to watch? I thought Prime Minister Carney acquitted himself very
Speaker 2: well in the White House.
Speaker 7: I haven't seen the coverage of his visit there today.
Speaker 7: I'm going to catch it up online when I watched
Speaker 7: the news later. But the whole Trump thing colored the
Speaker 7: election all across Canada. Yeah, and with a combination of
Speaker 7: Trump's threats and insults and Trudeau stepping down of his
Speaker 7: own accord. The Liberal Party just shot up in popularity.
Speaker 7: Is the logical defender of the country, and so that's
Speaker 7: what happened, and he almost got a majority government out
Speaker 7: of it. You're just a few seats shy of that.
Speaker 7: But you know, I got to say for Trump, the
Speaker 7: reaction across Canada to Trump is so negative it is unbelievable.
Speaker 7: I had friends tell me, what are you doing. You're
Speaker 7: going down to the States. We don't do that. We're
Speaker 7: not crossing the border right now. We're not spending a
Speaker 7: dime if we can help it. We're taking us products
Speaker 7: off the shelves. We're not traveling to the States. And
Speaker 7: I said, yeah, I know, but it's a big two fiftieth.
Speaker 7: It's a huge deal. I missed the bi centennials, so
Speaker 7: I had to come for this. But if Trump was
Speaker 7: it all serious, he would look at a map and
Speaker 7: he would recognize that there are ten huge provinces, some
Speaker 7: of them bigger than most countries, three massive territories to
Speaker 7: the north. He would say, it's not one state, it's
Speaker 7: at least ten states. Give us some credit. Donald for sake,
Speaker 7: Like the idea of annexation is insulting in its own right,
Speaker 7: but to call it the single state just adds another layer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let me ask you this question. Okay, I
Speaker 2: remember when Quebec this got to be what twenty years ago,
Speaker 2: when Quebec wanted to succeed secede from Canada. Obviously, Quebec
Speaker 2: is French speaking. You're part of the United Kingdom. Your
Speaker 2: monarch is Queen Elizabeth. People perhaps don't understand that relationship,
Speaker 2: but it's that, it is what it is.
Speaker 7: Do you think we're not part of the United Kingdom
Speaker 7: in any regard? It's a completely Canada is a completely independent,
Speaker 7: self governing country. They for some crazy historical reason, you
Speaker 7: decided to retain the monarch, yes, which is technically a
Speaker 7: separate crown from the British crown. It's the same person,
Speaker 7: but it's the Canadian crown. Okay, if you want to
Speaker 7: get me started on that, I'm all for having a
Speaker 7: Canadian head of state.
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, first of all, yeah, first of all, thank
Speaker 2: you for that correction, because I was always under the
Speaker 2: impression I knew that that the that the head of
Speaker 2: England was your titular head of state. I'm correct on that,
Speaker 2: but but again I don't know how you describe it
Speaker 2: is there?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 2: Did you describe it as as a Canadian? You just
Speaker 2: of it as some sort of a truncated relationship, as
Speaker 2: an affiliation. What would be the proper phrase if it
Speaker 2: was if there is one?
Speaker 7: Well, our form of government is a constitutional monarchy in
Speaker 7: the form of the Westminster style parliament of course, right,
Speaker 7: so we have retained this symbol, which I think we
Speaker 7: need to get rid of. I'm with a group actually
Speaker 7: it's advocating for the change to finally cut the tie.
Speaker 7: But you know, there are fifteen countries around the world
Speaker 7: that use the same person at Buckingham Palace as their
Speaker 7: head of state, but most of the Commonwealth countries do not.
Speaker 7: Most Commonwealth countries are republics, and I think Canada should
Speaker 7: join them. But getting back to Trump, if I can't,
Speaker 7: I just you know, if he wants to sell this
Speaker 7: idea of closer association, if not multiple statehoods for the provinces,
Speaker 7: he's got to do a better job in selling it.
Speaker 7: This is why I don't think he's serious, because he's
Speaker 7: not addressing any of the key questions He could make
Speaker 7: this much more appealing to Canadians if he said, hey, guys,
Speaker 7: you know what would be nice a single currency, you know,
Speaker 7: let's unify economically, or let's share more integrated military defense.
Speaker 7: You know, let's have this and that. But no, he's
Speaker 7: not really looking at that. And what baffles me is
Speaker 7: that nobody in the media that I have seen in
Speaker 7: either country is questioning him on the details. How would
Speaker 7: a parliamentary system that we have federally and for every
Speaker 7: province be integrated as US states? How would that happen?
Speaker 7: Would what would we do with Quebec which has a
Speaker 7: distinct identity, and although the majority is not interested in
Speaker 7: independence any longer, there is this kind of it's on
Speaker 7: the back burner, this simmering thing, and there's a distinct
Speaker 7: sense of uniqueness, the language, the culture that's reflected in
Speaker 7: films and music that even the rest of English Canada
Speaker 7: doesn't hear because we don't speak French.
Speaker 2: Yeah. My only thought, and I wonder if you thought
Speaker 2: this is possible, is that, Look, Western Canada is pretty conservative.
Speaker 2: They they they tend to vote uh in what do
Speaker 2: you call them? In their ridings? Which is there the
Speaker 2: equivalent of our congressional districts. A lot of the ridings
Speaker 2: in Ottawa that used to be conservative are now counted
Speaker 2: in the liberal category of parliament. But in the in
Speaker 2: the West Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitola, some of those uh, you know, provinces,
Speaker 2: would they be I mean, do you think that Trump
Speaker 2: is thinking, hey, maybe if I could break off a
Speaker 2: couple of them, we would pick up some energy. I mean,
Speaker 2: do you do you think there is a or do
Speaker 2: you think that there's no difference between how people in
Speaker 2: Ontario and Quebec and the western provinces field towards aligning
Speaker 2: with the US. I think it's all a pipe dream anyway.
Speaker 2: But I'm just trying to figure out what could possibly
Speaker 2: possibly he'd be thinking.
Speaker 7: Well, if you're trying to take the temperature of the West,
Speaker 7: Alberta would have the greatest number of those who would
Speaker 7: be in favor of some type of a political union
Speaker 7: with the US. But even that is a very slim minority.
Speaker 2: Gotcha.
Speaker 7: Yes, the West votes conservative until you get to the
Speaker 7: coast in British Columbia. Yeah, but that doesn't mean that
Speaker 7: they're in favor in any way of what Trump is
Speaker 7: floating here.
Speaker 2: Okay, So My bottom line too, is from your position,
Speaker 2: this is an impossibility. I agree with you. Why is
Speaker 2: Trump's trolling? Why is he trolling? I mean I can
Speaker 2: see that he better not call the Canada the fifty
Speaker 2: first state to Carnie's face, that's for sure. And he
Speaker 2: didn't do that today.
Speaker 7: He did it well, did he say fifty one through sixty?
Speaker 2: I don't know. No, no, no, no, no, no no, there
Speaker 2: was none of that. No, he was actually, you know,
Speaker 2: he behaved himself today.
Speaker 7: And he didn't call him a governor like he did
Speaker 7: with exactly.
Speaker 2: There was no welcome governor crime. No, there was none
Speaker 2: of that foolishness. There was not. So what, I just
Speaker 2: think he likes to troll, troll people.
Speaker 7: I don't think he thinks about what the ramifications are.
Speaker 7: Because in doing this, in saying these words, you know, are,
Speaker 7: he has united Canadians like nothing has done in recent memory.
Speaker 7: I mean, the country is so united against the United States,
Speaker 7: we which.
Speaker 2: Is other than the than the four country cop of
Speaker 2: a couple of months.
Speaker 7: Ago that that hockey game became Well, of course there
Speaker 7: were political overtones.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know, I know, I know. Hey, look I
Speaker 2: am so way past my break. I hate to end
Speaker 2: the conversation, do me a favor, become more of a
Speaker 2: going to call it whether you're in Arlington or you're
Speaker 2: back home. I really mean that, Wayne, I really enjoyed
Speaker 2: this conversation. But I'm five minutes past my newscast.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Dan. I appreciate that trouble.
Speaker 2: Wayne. I really is this your first time calling or no?
Speaker 2: Have you called us from Canada?
Speaker 7: I have called? Well, like I say, when when it
Speaker 7: was Ottawa and uh and Larry Glick was on the air,
Speaker 7: that was the last time I call.
Speaker 2: Have you ever called Nightside? That's let's let's talk about.
Speaker 7: What really I'm a first time all right, we got
Speaker 7: to give you.
Speaker 2: The round of applause then as we wanted to. All Right,
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to call number two. Thanks Wayne, Save
Speaker 2: safe travels, have a great one. Good night. We'll take
Speaker 2: quick break. Here's the news A little late. Back on
Speaker 2: night Side. I love that call.
Speaker 1: Right after this, you're on night Side with Dan Ray
Speaker 1: on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: All right, back to the phones. Were go going to
Speaker 2: go to Patrick in Charlestown. Hey, Patrick, welcome next to
Speaker 2: a Nightside. How are you.
Speaker 6: Dan? How you doing, Buddy?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. So what do you think Donald Trump
Speaker 2: is doing here? Is he just simply trolling?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 6: Well, first off, to my Canadian brothers and sisters to
Speaker 6: the north, I hope you're aware that that Dan Ray
Speaker 6: represented Chris Nyland. I believe one time in the Rick
Speaker 6: Middleton affair. Is that right?
Speaker 2: I represented Chris Nyland in his entire career and I
Speaker 2: defended him strongly when when Middleton smashed his teeth into
Speaker 2: the butt end of Nyland stick.
Speaker 6: And I love Nyland, man, I love him, and I
Speaker 6: love that Chris is fought a good fight and then
Speaker 6: he's recovering. I think most Bostonians loved Chris Nyland despite
Speaker 6: what he did to Rick Middleton.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was. He was not trying to hit in
Speaker 2: all seriousness. He went to throw an elbow at Middleton
Speaker 2: and there was there was an inadvertent and Chris apologized
Speaker 2: to it. And I believe that that Rick Middleton was
Speaker 2: man enough to accept the apology.
Speaker 6: You know that's Rick Middleton was a tough guy.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know he was. I know he was. And
Speaker 2: I played goal against the Bruins in an into squad
Speaker 2: game in seventy eight and I had actually made a
Speaker 2: save on Middleton. I think he just fired the puck
Speaker 2: into my glove to help me out. But he was
Speaker 2: good to me. And by the way, Chris is doing
Speaker 2: now later this month in Montreal, you might double check
Speaker 2: it a one man show on his life and career,
Speaker 2: which may turn into a major We've been working on
Speaker 2: this with Chris and with a gentleman in Montreal. He'll
Speaker 2: be debuting this one man show in Montreal at a
Speaker 2: huge supper club later this month, in front of a
Speaker 2: crowd of about six hundred people. And there's you may
Speaker 2: be hearing more about this just I'll tell you Patrick,
Speaker 2: as someone who I know appreciates Chris just it's ironic
Speaker 2: you mention that, because I was having some conversations about
Speaker 2: that today. As a matter of fact, okay.
Speaker 6: And I love the guy, and you know, you know,
Speaker 6: I always I always wondered and I don't know, but
Speaker 6: I always wondered if he had a part time job
Speaker 6: in college working in South Boston for certain people. But
Speaker 6: I don't know, he didn't.
Speaker 2: Know, he did not know. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 2: I can tell you truthfully that one of the things
Speaker 2: that I talked with Chris about was to keep that
Speaker 2: familiar relationship separate and he did. He did. He did
Speaker 2: trust me on that, and he went through a lot,
Speaker 2: you know, in post career, he coached. He was, you know,
Speaker 2: a guy who was drafted I think it was two
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty first. He was the second last guy drafted.
Speaker 2: And he attributes Judge Paul King, who was a district
Speaker 2: court judge here in Boston and a big supporter of Chris.
Speaker 2: And also King was a friend of a couple of
Speaker 2: the old time Canadians, being Doug Harvey and Dicky Moore,
Speaker 2: and he suggested to them that Chris would be drafted.
Speaker 2: They never realized that he would end up playing thirteen
Speaker 2: years in the NHL and UH and and have an impact.
Speaker 2: He then went and coached. He was an assistant coach
Speaker 2: with Jacques la merit New Jersey, and coached in the
Speaker 2: East Coast Hockey League and and finally Fake faced up,
Speaker 2: as a lot of players do, to some addiction problems,
Speaker 2: which he's talked about publicly and and he beat the
Speaker 2: addictions and he is he's in better shaped today, uh psychologically,
Speaker 2: mentally and maybe even arguably physically that he was back
Speaker 2: in the day.
Speaker 6: I want to mess. I want to mess with him.
Speaker 2: A point?
Speaker 6: Go ahead, go ahead, I have a point. So who
Speaker 6: is grapes to you? Do you? Who's who?
Speaker 1: Do?
Speaker 6: Who's the name? Who do we call grapes in Boston
Speaker 6: and the Boston Hockey World? Did Don Cherry? Is that
Speaker 6: what we call Don Cherry?
Speaker 2: Is?
Speaker 6: Greats? Right?
Speaker 2: Great? Sure? Yeah? I thought you were saying great originally? Yeah? Great?
Speaker 2: Was Donald Cherry's cherry? Let me play in the intersquad game.
Speaker 2: I owe that to Cherry and to Nate Greenberg. Go
Speaker 2: right ahead.
Speaker 6: How did he lose his career? Dad? This is relevant
Speaker 6: to what we're talking about. How did he just lose
Speaker 6: his career? About two years ago.
Speaker 2: He made some comments, and I forget exactly what they
Speaker 2: were that were considered politically incorrect. I guess would be.
Speaker 6: The poppy on it. He said that the immigrants should
Speaker 6: respect the veterans of Canada more, and that because they
Speaker 6: don't wear the poppies on their clothes, that they come
Speaker 6: from milk and honey and the land of Canada and
Speaker 6: they don't respect it. And he got fired for that.
Speaker 6: And I think what we're not talking about here is
Speaker 6: that the left in Canada has so much power that
Speaker 6: they've converted that country so quickly, and it's but unrecognizable,
Speaker 6: and they don't love the Canadian people. And what Donald
Speaker 6: Trump is really saying is I see that, and I'll
Speaker 6: do something about it. So you Canadians who don't like
Speaker 6: being replaced through immigration, right Donald Trump is That's what
Speaker 6: he's really saying. I can do something about this. I
Speaker 6: can I can stop your country from being flooded. I
Speaker 6: can stop you from being being afraid to speak your mind,
Speaker 6: like Don Sherry. And and that's what he's really saying.
Speaker 6: That nobody is talking about the turning turn of Donald
Speaker 6: Trump into this evil guy.
Speaker 2: We know the only thing. The only thing I can
Speaker 2: say is that the and again I don't like the
Speaker 2: word replaced that you're using, but but let me let
Speaker 2: that go for now. I do think that his comments
Speaker 2: about Canada UH and about fifty first staid and calling
Speaker 2: Trudeau governor, I think that that the election results when
Speaker 2: Trudeau resigned Carnie uh who's who went to Harvard by
Speaker 2: the way, as you know as and was a backup
Speaker 2: goaltender at Harvard. UH. Carne Uh was was the long
Speaker 2: shot to win. The Conservatives were predicted to win. And
Speaker 2: it's almost as if Donald Trump wanted the Liberal Party
Speaker 2: to maintain control in Canada, and that's what all the
Speaker 2: polls indicate. Connie was down by any where fifteen eighteen points,
Speaker 2: and he pulled out a fairly comfortable victory. And I
Speaker 2: think that the people of Canada rose up and said,
Speaker 2: you can insult our prime minister. Your con insult our country.
Speaker 2: And I don't understand what Trump was trying to accomplish there.
Speaker 2: If he had not said anything, I think that it
Speaker 2: would be now a conservative government similar to what Brian
Speaker 2: mulrooney ran when Reagan was president back in the eighties.
Speaker 6: No two countries in the history of the world have
Speaker 6: been better friends than Canada and the United States. No
Speaker 6: two countries are better friends than Canada in the United States.
Speaker 6: Donald Trump doesn't have hostile intentions for Canada. He loves Canada,
Speaker 6: no question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we're not going to invade Canada. We're not
Speaker 2: going to invade Greenland. I think the point when when
Speaker 2: when President Trump talks about Panama, I think there's a
Speaker 2: lot of substance to what needs to be done in Panama,
Speaker 2: which might include some military action because China is all
Speaker 2: around Panama at this point. And if China ever takes
Speaker 2: control of Panama Canal and prevents you as ships from
Speaker 2: going through Panama Canal. Now, now you're talking about all
Speaker 2: the all the chips are on the table, and you
Speaker 2: don't want to get to that point in my in
Speaker 2: my opinion, but I get you points. I get your points.
Speaker 2: Patrick is always appreciate your calling you. You represent a
Speaker 2: strong point of view. We'll talk sooner. When I see
Speaker 2: Chris some time later this month, I'll tell him he
Speaker 2: said hello.
Speaker 6: Okay, he's a great guy.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 6: Good thanks to the show again.
Speaker 2: You're welcome. Thanks man.
Speaker 6: We love Canada, everybody. We love you guys, so don't
Speaker 6: be so upset.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I want to hear from more Canadian
Speaker 2: listeners on this as well. Either way and no, And
Speaker 2: Patrick means that when he says he loves Canada, I
Speaker 2: believe he does. Back on Night's Side, we're going to
Speaker 2: keep this conversation going right after this break.
Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Boston's Radio.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me see to get everybody in there real quickly.
Speaker 2: Let me go to Mark in Dan.
Speaker 9: Thanks you okay taking my call. I think this is
Speaker 9: so sad what's happening with Canada. I mean, my family
Speaker 9: visited Montreal when I was a kid, and as a
Speaker 9: young adult I spent a long weekend at a bed
Speaker 9: and breakfast in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and the Canadians could
Speaker 9: not have been friendlier. And I think Donald Trump just
Speaker 9: simply does not know what he is doing geopolitically. I
Speaker 9: think the next president will have to say, listen, sorry
Speaker 9: about that, Canada. We fully respect your independence and sovereignty
Speaker 9: and hope that hope that this all blows over.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see what happens. Mark, I think he's trolling people.
Speaker 2: I don't think he has.
Speaker 9: I don't I don't think he knows what he's doing geopolitically.
Speaker 9: I think one of the first rules is that you
Speaker 9: do what you can to get along with your neighbors.
Speaker 2: Did you watch the event that they held in the
Speaker 2: Oval Office.
Speaker 9: Today, Mark, I I didn't watch it. Wise, I just saw.
Speaker 2: A suggestion to very firm, let me make a suggestion.
Speaker 9: Why but very firm, why don't you make.
Speaker 2: Let me make a suggestion. Why don't you go back
Speaker 2: and see if you can find the entire exchange, the
Speaker 2: greeting uh that they had and then the questions and
Speaker 2: see it in context. I thought that both President Trump
Speaker 2: and Carney did what they had to do. I think
Speaker 2: that Trump is engaging in unnecessary again, I would call
Speaker 2: it trolling. Obviously, there was a just disdain that he
Speaker 2: had for former Prime Minister Trudeau that that he did
Speaker 2: not display this this day towards Mark Carney and towards
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Carnie.
Speaker 9: So yeah, but you see, if it's a fellow democracy,
Speaker 9: you just have to work with.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you, Mark, I don't I don't
Speaker 2: agree with you. All you're asking to do is take
Speaker 2: take the opportunity today to go find that in its entirety.
Speaker 2: And I think that you're not going to change your mind.
Speaker 2: You're not going to change your line.
Speaker 9: But if I can mind it on cable.
Speaker 2: TV, now, yeah, you'll be able to find it somewhere
Speaker 2: on Google or something like that. That'll be easy.
Speaker 9: Mark, I don't have computer access in my apartment.
Speaker 2: Well, you got a library, you know, you get the
Speaker 2: library tomorrow sometime. I think you'd enjoy it. It's probably
Speaker 2: been about twenty minute view and I think you'd enjoy it.
Speaker 2: I watched it in its entirety today and I thought
Speaker 2: I thought that they both handled themselves well, particularly with
Speaker 2: the questions that they had to deal with. Thanks Mark,
Speaker 2: talk soon. Thank you. Let me go next to billing
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania Building.
Speaker 8: Next on Nightside, Go right ahead, Thanks Dan. Hey, I
Speaker 8: agree with you. I think he's trolling them, and uh,
Speaker 8: I can't I can't believe that. Uh, the press is
Speaker 8: not I mean it's it's it's just amazing to me
Speaker 8: that our press is not caught on to what what
Speaker 8: this guy is doing to him. You know, he had him,
Speaker 8: he had him, uh, you know, in the corner last time,
Speaker 8: and they never learned. They never learned anything. I got
Speaker 8: a lot of friends out in British Columbia, used to
Speaker 8: hang out out there. What a wonderful place that is.
Speaker 8: I can tell you all the all the all the
Speaker 8: people that I know in Canada, Okay, still have a
Speaker 8: lot of respect for for America, and most of them
Speaker 8: like what Trump's doing. But they know that they know
Speaker 8: what he's not.
Speaker 2: Well it was it didn't reflect it building the election
Speaker 2: that they just had.
Speaker 8: Hell, yeah, that's true, that's true. But uh, I'm talking
Speaker 8: to the people that I talked to up there.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, just taking the broad of view. Hey,
Speaker 2: I hope to hear from some listeners in Canada. We
Speaker 2: have a lot of listeners up in Canada. I would
Speaker 2: love to know what they're thinking right now. I think
Speaker 2: there's I think they're strolling them. That's what I think.
Speaker 6: I agree with most people.
Speaker 2: Just want enough to figure that out.
Speaker 8: But yeah, man, two things that there's two things that
Speaker 8: happened to Canada over the last couple of years. One
Speaker 8: was when they when they uh uh came down hard
Speaker 8: on the truckers. Okay, they're in.
Speaker 2: That was Trudeau.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that was Trudeau. And the other one, okay, is
Speaker 8: when they banned all pistols, all all handguns. You're not
Speaker 8: allowed to earn a handgun anymore in Canada.
Speaker 2: That's good to know. I did not realize that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they banned they banned handguns. And and the other
Speaker 8: thing is if if you know, we got our second Amendment.
Speaker 8: And Democrats are always telling about the Constitution, the Constitution
Speaker 8: a bit every time I turn around there trying to
Speaker 8: take my Second Amendment right away from me. But there
Speaker 8: are so many Canada Canadians Dan that just wish that
Speaker 8: they had a second Amendment.
Speaker 2: Well, it didn't reflect that in the last election, so
Speaker 2: that's all I'm telling you. I mean, there may be
Speaker 2: a lot of people up there, but I think that
Speaker 2: they have basically returned the Liberal Party to power, which
Speaker 2: is the equivalent of our Democratic Party. And and I
Speaker 2: think that Donald Trump helped like Mark Carney in my opinion.
Speaker 6: But you're right.
Speaker 2: Let's see, Hey, Bill, appreciate as always, thank you. Thanks.
Speaker 2: Man to talk soon. I'm gonna try to get one
Speaker 2: more in here. Warren is in Fall River, Warren, you
Speaker 2: were next on Nice Sacer right head Warren, Hey.
Speaker 10: Dan, Yeah, I think that all this is just feeding
Speaker 10: feeding Trump's ego, you know, I mean I think he
Speaker 10: has a lot of synchropha sinkle fans around him telling
Speaker 10: him how rate he is.
Speaker 2: And most president, most most presidents have had a lot
Speaker 2: of syncophants around them. And there's no exception there's there.
Speaker 10: You know, he has a he has a ton around
Speaker 10: him saying, oh yeah, you're the best, the o, the best.
Speaker 10: And you know, his ego is like the size of
Speaker 10: New York City right now.
Speaker 2: And.
Speaker 10: It really is. But you know, I don't understand why
Speaker 10: would you make an enemy, like why would you you know,
Speaker 10: do what he's doing with Canada is like you know,
Speaker 10: insulting them. It makes no sense. I mean, it makes
Speaker 10: it makes all they're all mad at me, but what
Speaker 10: he's doing, yeah.
Speaker 2: It makes no sense to me either, because again I
Speaker 2: don't know that the Conservative MP Member of Parliament, uh
Speaker 2: Pierre Poulvo I believe was how his name is pronounced,
Speaker 2: that that that he was a scintillating candidate, but certainly
Speaker 2: President Trump did nothing to help his candidacy and you
Speaker 2: would have gone.
Speaker 10: Now Trump is the reason why the Liberals won up
Speaker 10: there exactly, exactly exactly, and I don't I really don't
Speaker 10: understand it. Like my ex girlfriend though, you know, a
Speaker 10: woman that I was that I was very close to marrying,
Speaker 10: she saw, you know, after the fifty first state comment,
Speaker 10: she went in to you know, and did work for
Speaker 10: I can't pronounce his name, Tall Twalls of the Year
Speaker 10: or whatever it is he you know, he started working,
Speaker 10: you know, And and it's just I don't know, I
Speaker 10: don't get why why insult a good friend couldn't more.
Speaker 2: We're gonna leave that that question and hopefully it's going
Speaker 2: to be answered on the other side. I hope you
Speaker 2: have from some of our listeners in Canada, whatever their
Speaker 2: political persuasion, simple as that one great club. Thank you much,
Speaker 2: great club. Here comes the eleven o'clock news. Let me
Speaker 2: get out of the way. I'll be back on the
Speaker 2: other side with more calls. We have one line six
Speaker 2: one seven, two, five, four ten thirty and one line
Speaker 2: at six one seven, nine three one ten thirty. Donald
Speaker 2: Trump is a complicated person. Okay, I think we can
Speaker 2: agree upon that. Back after this
