WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:01.480 It's nice Eyes. 2 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:05.960 Boston's news Radio. 3 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:10.839 All right, thanks very much. We heading into the fourth 4 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.160 and final hour here on a Wednesday night, and god, 5 00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.280 was it cold today. It's unbelievable. Hey, here's what I 6 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.960 would like to talk about this hour. And whenever I 7 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.440 do this, I'm kind of rolling the dice a little bit, 8 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.879 and if it doesn't work, I'm going to go on 9 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.239 to something else. I'm gonna be really honest with you. Okay, 10 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:36.600 but I was I follow from afar Canadian politics. I'm 11 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.240 not an expert in Canadian politics. I know that Prime 12 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.439 Minister Trudeau has been up there now for about seven 13 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.759 or eight years, the son Justin Trudeau, the son of 14 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:53.679 Pierre Trudeau, the head of the Liberal Party in Canada, 15 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.000 and he has has said that he is going to 16 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.399 resign or has reasons as the head of his party, 17 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.599 which is the equivalent of the Democratic Party in Canada, 18 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.159 and that there will be an election. And I had 19 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.760 a couple of texts with friends of mine up in 20 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.599 Canada who was suggesting that it's perhaps going to follow 21 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.000 as night follows day, that the power in Canada will 22 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.599 swing back to the Conservative Party. Now, the Conservative Party 23 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.560 is not exactly the Republican Party, Liberal Party, not exactly 24 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.680 the Democrat, but they're analogous. And certainly it's ironic that 25 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.640 Pierre Trudeau not Pierre Trudeau, justin Trudeau has decided to 26 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:44.920 step aside because his whole numbers have tanked, have tanked 27 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:47.719 at the same time, he had to go down to 28 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:50.840 Mari Lago, or he didn't have to, but he went 29 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.799 down to Mary Lago to pay homage to Donald Trump. 30 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.560 After the election in November didn't quite work for him. 31 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:03.799 Trump kept the president elect, kept calling him governor as 32 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.959 if he was the governor of the fifty first state. 33 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.199 So what I'm hoping for is some of you who 34 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.039 are listening in Canada tonight, and I know there are 35 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.680 many listeners at nightside in Canada tonight, well pick up 36 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.039 the phone and give us a call. Six one seven 37 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.520 two five four ten thirty or six one seven ninety 38 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.439 three one ten thirty. Give us a call and tell 39 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.560 us what the political temperature is in Canada. And we 40 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.639 know what the weather temperature is. It's cold everywhere. I'm 41 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.120 sure that anyone who's listening to me tonight, if you 42 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.680 step outside, it's going to be somewhere around ten degrees 43 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.719 either ten degrees for real or ten degrees windshow factor. 44 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.039 But I'd love to know what the political temperature is 45 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:50.759 in Canada now. Apparently parliament has been suspended in Canada 46 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:56.800 until March, and that's interesting because I guess that is 47 00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:01.639 the period of time that the Liberal Party in Canada 48 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.199 will have that a period of time to pick their 49 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.800 new leader, and then there will be an election schedule. 50 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.479 I guess the election has to be scheduled no later 51 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:18.360 than next October, and whether or not Canada will follow 52 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:27.360 what has happened in America and elect a conservative prime minister, 53 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.159 kind of like a Brian Mulrooney. I don't know how 54 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.520 many of you remember Brian mulroney, but he was prime 55 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.960 minister when Reagan was president, when George Bush was president, 56 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:40.759 and he was very effective prime minister. But like anything else, 57 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:46.240 their time in office winds down and the economy goes 58 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.159 in one direction or the other and it's time for 59 00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.080 a change. We do the same thing in this country. 60 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.759 We move back and forth between democratic and Republican presidents, 61 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.759 and they move back and forth between liberal which is 62 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.400 the equivalent of Democrats, or a conservative, which is the 63 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.000 equivalent of Republicans. They call them liberals and conservatives. That's 64 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.319 probably what we should do in this country as well, 65 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.240 but nonetheless that's the way it works up there. So 66 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.400 I'd love to know what your thought is about the 67 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.959 decision of the Prime Minister of Canada, who for a 68 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.160 while was a darling in Canada. Then he ran into 69 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.959 problems a couple of years ago with the truck remember 70 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.079 the big truckers strike up there. He has I think 71 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:37.680 been pretty arrogant as prime minister. He, as I say, 72 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:43.240 came from a political family, probably felt all along that 73 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.680 he was destined that his destiny was to be a 74 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.439 prime minister, and he did become a prime minister for 75 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.759 seven years, had a fairly good relationship with Joe Biden, 76 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.920 and maybe he saw the writing on the wall. So 77 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.439 I'm going to to open up the phone lines, and 78 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.959 I hope that as many of you who might be 79 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.079 listening in Canada tonight, and believe me, some of you 80 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:08.920 I know by name. I'm not going to call you out, 81 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.279 but I'd love to know. Maybe you can give us 82 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.319 some information, you can teach us a little bit. My 83 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.000 belief is that the timetable, if you will, is the 84 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.680 Liberal Party has until some time in March to pick 85 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:30.720 a new leader, and then when Parliament returns in March, reassembles, 86 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.279 goes back in the session. Whatever phrase you use. In Canada, 87 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.000 Parliament will set an election date. And your election is 88 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.519 different than ours. We vote by states, and we have 89 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.800 the electoral college, a popular vote in the various states. 90 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:52.240 Everybody I think now understands the US the election of 91 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.879 a president popular vote is important, but the most important 92 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.079 vote is the electoral college vote up there. It's a 93 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.959 parliamentary democracy, as I understand it, and so you have 94 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.600 I don't even know how many members of parliament there. 95 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.399 I could look it up and maybe someone up there 96 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.680 can tell me. Uh. And the majority then forms the government, 97 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.079 and sometimes you have minor parties, just as that as 98 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:21.000 happens in countries like England and France and Israel and Germany. Uh. 99 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.399 And sometimes a party does not have the strict majority. Uh, 100 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.839 and they need to work deals with minor parties. And 101 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.279 it's a little more complicated in Canada than it is 102 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.519 in the US, I think, although one could argue we're 103 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:40.079 pretty complicated to So the numbers yeah, six one seven, two, five, 104 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.360 four ten, thirty six one seven, nine, three one ten, thirty. 105 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.120 If you are American and you want to comment on 106 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.399 Trudeau's decision to leave not only again as as the 107 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.399 Prime minister eventually, but as the leader of his party 108 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.800 right now. I'm not telling you not to call, but 109 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.519 I would love to hear from as many Canadians listeners 110 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.319 as possible. And if you guys don't want to talk 111 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:07.319 about this subject, if it's beyond the capacity or the 112 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.439 interest of my audience, then we'll move on to something else. 113 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.199 Six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven, 114 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.600 nine three one ten thirty. This is a bit of 115 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.040 a challenge. Let's have at it. We'll take a break, 116 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.920 coming right back on Nightside. 117 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.000 Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World 118 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.279 night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio. 119 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:28.959 All right, well, we haven't that what you would call 120 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:33.319 overwhelming reaction to my proposal that we talk about the 121 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:39.199 implications of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation as Liberal 122 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:44.600 Party leader. However, we have my friend Daryl from New Brunswick, Canada, 123 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.639 my most loyal Canadian listener.

No, But happy New Year. 132 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.240 Happy new you. You mean you have a tough time 133 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:15.480 getting us recently. 134 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.279 Uh, well, we've had a few storms up here, as 135 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.720 you guys bet as well, and uh so that could be. 136 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.600 Part of the week. Just yeah, Joe, we've just had 137 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:29.160 really cold weather. I mean we we we had a 138 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:34.279 little bit of a snowstorm before Christmas and and and 139 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.120 it got real cold and the ground was covered with 140 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.440 snow and then we had some rain in the fifties 141 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.000 and everything melted away. But since the weekend, it's been 142 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.039 cold down here. I mean it is, we're we're kind 143 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:47.399 of in an ice box right now. 144 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:51.159 And I suspect that it's around minus twenty six celsius 145 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:56.320 here and I can't. Okay, then you a hormometer, Well 146 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:57.360 you know you could. 147 00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:01.240 Just read tell me minus twenty six celsius. That means 148 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.200 you're down around what we would call zero fahrenheit, right 149 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:06.919 because you're you're, you're. 150 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.120 You're zero thirty two is zero. 151 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:11.399 Yeah, right, so. 152 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.919 Your mind us. But if you have any local government 153 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.840 people running for elections saying they filled all the potholes, 154 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.519 they've done it when it actually freezes. 155 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.759 Oh good, well yeah, so uh snow, well you do. 156 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.000 You have snow on the ground, A lot of snow 157 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:27.159 on the ground. 158 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:29.600 We got a little bit, but it's more ice because 159 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:33.559 of everything froze, so all the potholes are filled. Right. Wow. Wow, 160 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.440 it's the comedy of it as well. 161 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.519 Right, I got you, I got you. So, uh tell 162 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.759 us about Justin Trudeau and what's going to happen when 163 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.200 you finally get around to having an election. 164 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:49.720 We have been asking uh Justin to uh step back 165 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:54.639 for quite a while and uh because in my opinion, 166 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:58.080 I've met a bunch of other prime ministers prior to 167 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:02.600 that in the military part of our duties, right, and 168 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:08.240 with that, he has had no responsibility, uh to take 169 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:09.159 upon himself. 170 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.840 Never he never served in the Canadian military. 171 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:17.320 No, No, he his father was well to do. And 172 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:21.279 you know, just like other people, you know, once they 173 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:25.320 have certain people in their family, they can live off 174 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:29.759 the name possibly, but we're not going to do a 175 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:34.480 bashing on in Trudeau. But he is not a leader, right, 176 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:35.960 who are the Conservatives? 177 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:40.799 I mean, did the Conservatives have a front runner Pierre Poliev? 178 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:41.320 Uh? 179 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.240 And he is actually from the West. 180 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:43.960 Uh. 181 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.399 And I've spent time in the West as well for 182 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:52.519 quite a number of years, and he has everything more 183 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.240 in sequence. 184 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.519 When you said the West, are you talking about Ottawa? 185 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.000 Are you talking about Calgary, because that's a huge difference. 186 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:04.480 Uh, No, Alberta, Manitoba, Oh, you name it. 187 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.559 That is the West. Okay, that's uh. We been here 188 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.039 in New England, as you might know, Daryl, We here 189 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.919 in New England, think of uh oh, places like New 190 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.480 Jersey is west, you know, anything outside of New England 191 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:17.120 only kidding? 192 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.879 So no, they the furthest I've been up is towards Alaska. 193 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.559 So but uh that was when I was working on 194 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:25.399 the drawing rings. Right. 195 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.919 Wow, that's that's interesting. How old the guy is he? 196 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.360 How is he he's he's Trudeau's age or older? 197 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:37.279 Uh? Well, Trudeau is about I think he's around fifty. 198 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.440 I think I'm not sure. Okay, he just doesn't have 199 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.960 his own plane, so that's probably why he didn't resign, 200 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.159 right so because he still wants to. 201 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.679 Jump around here and there, right so so do so 202 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.360 as the as the as the prime minister of Canada, 203 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.679 he's got the equivalent of Air Force one. He's got it. 204 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.360 He's got it. Okay, fine, yeah, well, look, as I 205 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.480 understand that, what was I understand that, And as I say, 206 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:08.879 I want to hear what would you tell me? I 207 00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:11.200 know you were joking a little bit there is that 208 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.720 he has resigned as the head of the party. But 209 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.519 someone's got to be prime minister and he can't resign 210 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:21.360 as prime minister until you get a new prime minister. Right. 211 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:25.360 Well, no, he could have. He could have given it 212 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.679 to the deputy, just like you guys have the VP 213 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.120 okay and the House and all that stuff, right, But 214 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.759 he elected to keep himself on as the guy in 215 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:42.200 charge until they re elect somebody else. But when you 216 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:49.000 mentioned about he progued government until twenty four March. The 217 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:52.480 reason he did that is the House will sit when 218 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.000 that comes back to on the twenty fifth, and because 219 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.840 we still have to pass our budget. Yeah, otherwise the 220 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.600 government would have no ability to spend. 221 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.720 So okay, so let me we have we're in the 222 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:08.080 same situation, by the way, with our debt ceiling. But 223 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.960 that's another story. So let me ask you this. They 224 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:15.799 come back in March, do they have to have a 225 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:17.840 vote of no confidence or the fact that he has 226 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.960 resigned as the Liberal leader, does that avoid that? And 227 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.320 do they just they'll announce an election date. 228 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.600 What that does is there is going to be an 229 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.600 election date because all three what we have is multiple 230 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.240 parties and so what we have is the Quebec Law. 231 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.639 We have the NDP New Democratic Party and the Conservatives 232 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.799 and the Green Party, but they really are non existent. 233 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:48.879 So all these people collectively are going to actually vote 234 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.440 in no confidence, vote against Liberals for the continuance of 235 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.480 putting things in disrepair. 236 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.559 So they will. So what I'm trying to understand, Darryl, 237 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:02.679 and help me out because my question is probably not 238 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.200 as good as they should be, and I appreciate I'm 239 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.639 you calling in. They will have to have a no 240 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:13.000 confidence vote, which then will formally challenge him as prime 241 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:17.720 minister or challenge basically call for a new election of 242 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.480 a prime minister. When do you think they will set 243 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.600 the election date. I think they have to do it 244 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.399 at least by October, as I understand it. 245 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.200 It'll probably be immediate. What will happen is because what 246 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.799 I'm getting at is here we have the ability just 247 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.320 like Britain where if you have one party to support 248 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.600 another with a multiple parties yep, and if you have 249 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.720 enough vote then you can actually keep the government going. 250 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.039 And that's what the NDP has been doing right right. 251 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.120 So now a government with some of the money, we 252 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.120 get that. That's a lot that happens in a lot 253 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.279 of the parliamentary democracies. Absolutely, we understand that. 254 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:59.360 Yeah, So what's going to happen is they're going to 255 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.679 call ano no confidence vote and therefore at least the 256 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.320 money will be able to be spent to pass to 257 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:10.399 run the country. But after that, the Governor General will 258 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.279 call the election because the no confidence vote will actually 259 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:18.279 say that the people do not have confidence in the practice. 260 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.120 And totally get that, totally. So let me ask you, 261 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:26.879 in your opinion, when will Canada elect a new prime minister? 262 00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.360 Will give me a rough idea of the date of 263 00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:30.240 the election. 264 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.879 As we're going on to start in March twenty fifth, 265 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.159 that's when they because they'll have what thirty one thirty 266 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:43.279 five days to go from there, because what they're doing 267 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.120 with parroguing government stalling. 268 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.240 I got that. No, you've already explained. What they're doing 269 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.399 is they're given what they're going to trying to. 270 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.759 Give them the Liberal What they're doing is they're given 271 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.360 the Liberals the ability to elect a new leader. 272 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.480 No, I get that. I've already explained that, Darryl. Please 273 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:02.120 listen to my question and help me out. So March 274 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:08.360 twenty fifth comes the no confidence vote. How long we 275 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.480 always have elections every four years? Okay, it's I can 276 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.720 tell you the date of the next election in twenty 277 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:16.799 twenty eight. All I gotta do is look at the 278 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:21.480 calendar and find the first Tuesday after the first Monday. Okay. 279 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:27.200 So my question to you is when do you think 280 00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.080 the election will actually be held. It won't be held 281 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.440 on March twenty sixth, because there's going to be a campaign. 282 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.639 How long do you think Just give me a date, 283 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:36.440 give me an idea. 284 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:42.240 What is your thought or look in spring it's normally 285 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.919 it's within thirty one to thirty five days or whatever. Okay, 286 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:50.240 So may may may, yeah, correct. 287 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:52.960 Okay for enough, all right, Daryl, I appreciate you taking 288 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.120 the time to call you the one Canadian listener who 289 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:58.279 was called I'm totally disappointed that most of the other 290 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:00.799 Canadian listeners do not want to share the point of 291 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.840 viewing it. But I appreciate your friendship and I appreciate 292 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:05.720 your calling. Thank you, Darrel, appreciate it much. Well. 293 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.599 The other Canadian listeners might be still shaking their heads 294 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:10.119 and hearing led Zeppelin, right. 295 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.480 I don't know. I would hope that they'll listen if 296 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:15.440 I would hope that they'll listen in to Night's Side. 297 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.359 So you're telling me you haven't been able to listen 298 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:18.400 to my show recently. 299 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.440 Uh, well no, I actually had it up until you 300 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.759 switched over to the Justin Trill thing and then the 301 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:25.319 signal went. 302 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.000 So you're listening on the radio or you listening on 303 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:30.559 the app. 304 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.920 I'm just listening on my mak Makita construction radio if 305 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:35.680 there's a plug there. 306 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.920 Good enough, fair enough, Okay, Well, I there's no reason 307 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.160 that you should have lost us. But I thank you 308 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.839 for joining us. Thanks, thanks, Darrel. Appreciate the call. Have 309 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.160 a good one. Helped me out more than I can 310 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:49.960 I can I can say thanks, all right, thanks Daryl, 311 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:53.279 have a good one. All right. We're going to go 312 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.160 to a newscaster in about two minutes. And I'm going 313 00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.240 to tell you real quickly if if those of you, 314 00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.359 if if our signal is not getting into Canada tonight, 315 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.160 I'm really upset. But if you're up there listening tonight 316 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.319 in Canada, I would hope that you would help educate 317 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.400 us here in America as to what's likely going to 318 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:16.559 happen in Canada. We do know, and Daryl has helped us, 319 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:20.279 and he has helped us explain and understand that there 320 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.920 will be no confidence vote in Trudeau. He'll go through 321 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.640 that embarrassment and that will set the stage for an election, 322 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.039 which Daryl said would be somewhere in the vicinity of 323 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:32.920 thirty one to thirty five days, which would mean sometime 324 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.400 in May. It's going to be fascinating to think that 325 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.200 Canada will follow the US. I mean, Canada is a 326 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:44.000 very different form of government than the United States. It 327 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:49.039 is a very it's a socialist government. You have a 328 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.920 lot of the medical programs up there Cradle Grave, you 329 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:59.559 have high taxation, you have a lot of benefits, medical benefits. 330 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.519 But also in Canada, you can't just you can't get 331 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.880 to see a doctor quickly. And that's part of the problem, 332 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.480 uh that I guess you do have the ability if 333 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.440 you want to pay exorbitant sums in Canada to have 334 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:16.839 your own private doctor. But if you're going to rely 335 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:21.160 upon the government health services, you know you'll get you'll 336 00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:24.400 get treated eventually. And I guess if you have an 337 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.400 emergency and go to a mergency room, but if you're 338 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.519 looking to have some form of elective surgery or some 339 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.599 surgery that can be being can be put off, it 340 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.039 could take a few weeks, maybe even a few months. 341 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:40.119 So not a perfect system, very expensive system, but that's 342 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:43.960 that's kind of what is built into the Canadian form 343 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.920 of government. So taking a break, if you want to 344 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.880 talk about this great dial now forever hold your peace. 345 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.799 Six one seven, two, five four ten thirty six one 346 00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.480 seven nine three one ten thirty and triple eight nine 347 00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:59.240 two nine, ten thirty. I don't even know if the 348 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.720 triple eight number makes it easier for my Canadian listeners. 349 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.200 If if no one wants to talk about Justin Trudeau, 350 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.680 we will move on to something Mills. But right now 351 00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:11.799 I'm going to move on to the news. My name's 352 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.480 Dan Ray. This is Nightside. Don't fail me now, coming 353 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:21.319 back on Nightside. 354 00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:25.200 It's Nightside with Dan Ray on w Boston's news radio. 355 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:30.119 All Right, tomorrow night at nine o'clock, we will have 356 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:37.119 Harvey Silverglate with us. Harvey, great thinker, great lawyer, a 357 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:42.359 founder of the Foundation Fire and we're going to talk 358 00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.400 with Harvey. We talked last week about the guy down 359 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:50.519 in New Orleans was obviously radicalized by some of the 360 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:54.400 ISIS web isist websites, and whether those icist websites are 361 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:58.720 on the dark web or regularly out there. I was 362 00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:03.480 raising the question of how do we basically take these 363 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:09.440 people who are exposing themselves to this and should they 364 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.079 get a visit from the FBI? So someone said, well, 365 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:15.799 what do you think Harvey's going to think about it? 366 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.680 And I said, let's go ahead and let's invite Harvey on. 367 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:23.759 So Harvey will be on tomorrow night. Also, as a 368 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:30.519 quick note of personal privilege, I just want to note 369 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.440 the passing of a friend of mine over the weekend. 370 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:36.079 I'm not going to go into details, but a good 371 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:41.640 friend of mine from Charlestown, Richie Craven, who I had 372 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:46.359 the pleasure of for a period of time playing hockey 373 00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:49.359 with him at Boston State College, who's a really good defenseman. 374 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:55.680 He actually after he graduated from Boston State College, played 375 00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.759 a fifth year of college hockey, went up to play hockey. 376 00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:04.960 And McGill loved the Bruins, loved his family, loved his teammates, 377 00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:10.480 and he was a real good friend who ran into 378 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:11.720 some medical troubles. 379 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:12.759 Uh. 380 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:19.240 And the medical troubles overtook him. And the reminder, if 381 00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.480 you're in Charlestown, and if you if you're in Charlestown, 382 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.119 you know who Richie Craven was. He will be waked 383 00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.920 tomorrow at the car Funeral Home and then his life 384 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:35.960 will be celebrated in funeral mass on Friday. UH. Really 385 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:40.759 good guy, someone who loved life, lived it to the fullest. 386 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:46.079 I and kept in touch. You know, one of those 387 00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.240 friends from college who you kept, who you keep in 388 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:54.440 touch with. Uh. And we would have breakfast occasionally, and 389 00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:58.319 Richie always had. He was a bundle of energy, just 390 00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:00.559 an absolute bundle of energy. And to think that he's 391 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:04.680 no longer with us is to me frightening and it's 392 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:08.680 sobering because none of us get out of this place alive. 393 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:12.039 And I just wanted as a small tribute, I mentioned 394 00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:18.200 his name tonight. He was a loyal listener of this program. 395 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.759 He and I agreed on both are our love of 396 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.920 the Bruins and our love of politics. He could talk 397 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.160 politics with the best of them, and somebody who was 398 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:35.400 well read, well rounded, and competed in hockey. I was 399 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:39.519 talking with a mutual friend of ours tonight, long after 400 00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:43.480 most of us have put our skates away. Richwood was 401 00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:48.359
