WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:23.519 Thank you for listening to Depictions Media Radio. Welcome to 2 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:29.719 Policy and Rights the show up Gosh, welcomer Policy Human Joys. 3 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:57.359 All right, welcome back to Policy and right here in 4 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:05.359 Depictions Media Radio. I'm your host, Michael Clouds. And this, well, 5 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.120 let's talk about this for a little bit. Mister Carney 6 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.239 is currently at the White House and he had a 7 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:19.760 meeting or it might still be in meetings with Donald 8 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:24.760 Trump and they're discussing, well exactly what we think they 9 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.040 would be trading about, how to build a better relationship 10 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:34.840 between Canada and the United States, things such as automobiles 11 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:39.519 such as Steele, which you're gonna hear Donald Trump say, 12 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.760 we don't need those things from Canada. Well, the truth 13 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.359 of the matter is the way the auto sector actually works, 14 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.239 that half a car is built in the United States, 15 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.959 the other half built in Canada, back and forth. That 16 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.760 if we go to Windsor, Ontario and det Troy, Michigan, 17 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.120 we're gonna see car parks go back and forth all 18 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:10.639 the time across a bridge that is there. It's a 19 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:18.080 tale of two cities and the bridge that joins them. 20 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.400 We're also gonna hear that Donald Trump says we don't 21 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:29.159 need Canada steel. We don't need Canada aluminum. Well, mister Trump, 22 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.879 where's your aluminum mind? Show it to me on the map. 23 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:43.000 Where where where these vast aluminum minds are in within 24 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:49.919 the US border? Yeah, yeah, there's a problem there, right, Okay, 25 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.479 So he actually will will have to cave in at 26 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.400 some point and figure out a better relationship over certain 27 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:06.159 products and trade deals. Mister Trump said that NAFFA should 28 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.840 have ever happened. It was the worst thing for the 29 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:14.120 United States ever, And the truth of the matter, parts 30 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.599 and NAPA were never actually even activated, especially after he 31 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.280 took office the very first time, and then he created 32 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.120 a new trade agreement that he thought was better. But 33 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.840 he takes office this time, he tears up the tear 34 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.039 tears up the trade agreement that he put in place 35 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.719 the first time he was in office. Interesting stuff, right, okay, 36 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.439 But let's get to the heart and meat of the 37 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.319 whole thing. Mister Trump did make some statements about how 38 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.759 it would be a great tax advantage for Canadians to 39 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:56.759 actually become the fifty first state, and mister Carney at 40 00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.840 some point did say this, and he can compaired the 41 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:06.719 old office in the White House as unsellable real estate, 42 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.400 and he gave it with some other ridiculous answer for 43 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:20.079 unsellable real estate, and he ended with Canada is unsellable 44 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.160 real estate. That he is not willing to sell Canada 45 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:32.519 out to Donald Trump. He made it clear, to which 46 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.000 Donald Trump says, Oh, we don't know what the future 47 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:42.319 may actually hold. In other words, Donald Trump doesn't want 48 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:47.759 to hear. No, he can't have Canada. The truth of 49 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.879 the matter is is that it would actually have to 50 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:59.160 come down to a vote across Canada. And that's just 51 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.319 for Canada, for Canadian citizens to say yes, there is 52 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.920 a whole nother ratification process that is written into the 53 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:14.000 US Constitution that Canada is after saying yeah, we want 54 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:19.480 to be the fifty first state. That well, mister Trump, 55 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.160 I hate to tell you this. By the time it 56 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:28.560 gets done, you might be dust in the ground. So 57 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:36.160 again he did bring it up. But they are actually 58 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:44.199 negotiating some trade deals. They are negotiating deals over military 59 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:53.240 happenings and military protections. As most of the world knows, 60 00:05:53.360 --> 00:06:00.759 except for people in the United States that have no education. Uh, well, 61 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.759 we won't talk about the mag of people too much 62 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:09.680 from now, will we. All Right, that Canada is a 63 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:15.759 is an Arctic country that a large chunk of the 64 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:25.600 Arctic border is North America. And with that being said, 65 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:32.639 that makes Canada a huge Arctic country. And it means 66 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:40.319 that that there's with the Arctic ice melting, that there's 67 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:45.319 chances for for commerce. And it also means that there 68 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:50.680 is a need for protection to go across that particular border, 69 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.959 because now it becomes not the Arctic Ocean now is 70 00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:01.399 not an ice block, but it is a seaway. So 71 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.079 a lot a lot to be said. The Canada needs 72 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:12.120 to beef up it's uh naval protection across the Arctic 73 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:17.199 and it and there's a lot to a lot to 74 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:21.399 be done there. And Mark Karney is actually negotiating with 75 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:29.000 with NATO and actually stepping up the his military, with 76 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.800 his government the military so that this particular border will 77 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:43.160 be protected. And again Donald Trump's stepping in overall that 78 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:47.120 one in saying that oh, the US will always protect 79 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:55.839 Canada and always has protect Canada. And and that's just 80 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.920 how how things work, that the Canada can't protect itself, 81 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.519 the United States has to do it. So on the 82 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.759 arms thing, though I'm sure that they are negotiating how 83 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.600 the the arms trade is going to be carved up 84 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:17.160 between the United States and Canada, because well, a lot 85 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.439 of the weapons sold in the world today are sold 86 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.639 either through the US or through Canada. A lot of 87 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.519 weapons are built in Canada or they are built in 88 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:34.919 the United States, along with the munitions to go along 89 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:42.360 with them, and along with the propulsion systems for different 90 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.120 missile systems and things like that are developed between the 91 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.720 US and Canada. So I'm sure that they will carve 92 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:52.440 up whatever they figure out how to recarve up the 93 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:59.840 profits for the arms trade around the world. Okay, So 94 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.240 let's move back across the border and we're going to 95 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.399 talk about Danielle Smith down to Alberta. Well, she is 96 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:13.679 talking about going across Alberta and discussing with the Alberta 97 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:20.399 people the idea of creating the country of Alberta. Yeah, 98 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:26.200 that's right, that she is talking about succeeding away from Canada. Okay, 99 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.600 there's a lot of it that that is accurate in 100 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:36.000 what she's saying, Okay, and becomes and also becomes some 101 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:42.799 of that becomes issues into why Alberta strategically should not 102 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:48.279 leave Canada. Alberta is landlocked, which means that in order 103 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:54.480 for them to sell their resources because they are a resource. 104 00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.639 There are resource state, there are resource province. They have 105 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:02.519 to sell the resources nor or to make money. Well, 106 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:09.080 it happens to me that their main resource is petroleum. 107 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.919 The beachamin that they produce can be sold around the world, 108 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:20.039 although there are certain countries that think that Alberta beachamin 109 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.840 is too heavy for the refineries and it takes a 110 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.960 lot of retolling to actually make it make Alberta beachamin 111 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:34.799 work from the Tarzans Okay. 112 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:34.600 But. 113 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.799 Yeah, they do sell product to China. They do sell 114 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:46.360 product to the United States, although to listen to Danielle 115 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.440 Smith talk that Alberta isn't allowed to sell to China. 116 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.440 But and yeah, we know that the pipeline goes from 117 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:59.679 Alberta into Vancouver or Colombia, gets loaded onto tankers and 118 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:10.759 it is shipped to China. We know that they're here's 119 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:15.679 the issue and with them being landlocked, they would actually 120 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:21.360 have to figure out how to pipe their product across 121 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:28.080 British Columbia or across the across Canada into Ontario or 122 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:37.440 other maritime seaports in order to get their products loaded 123 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:42.960 onto tankers in order to sell them to other parts 124 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.559 of the world to say, say in Europe or something 125 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.559 like that. Okay, but the issue is if they are 126 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.240 now a foreign country, that becomes that it becomes an 127 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.919 added step in actually trying to negotiate how to run 128 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:03.120 that pipeline or how to run the railcars. Even if 129 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.600 they were to go north towards the Arctic and then 130 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:18.080 part the tankers there, there's still another province. It's a territory. 131 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.240 Excuse me, it's a territory that they would have to 132 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:28.000 actually run that pipeline through in order to reach the 133 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:34.519 Arctic Ocean. And so either way they're completely landlocked, which 134 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.679 it's easier for them to move their products and sell 135 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:43.440 them if they're part of the Canada than if they 136 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:51.399 are a foreign country. Biggest reason why they why people 137 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:57.200 probably aren't going to vote for Alberta succeeding away from 138 00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:05.879 the from the rest of Canada. She is going to 139 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.039 quote some things that Quebec have said, because well, Quebec 140 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.159 has an ocean they can reach, they can reach the 141 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:22.639 Atlantic and makes them makes it easier because they have 142 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.240 a seaport available to them to actually sell whatever products 143 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.360 that they have to the rest of the world. Alberta 144 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.120 doesn't have that, and that is one of the reasons 145 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:40.799 why the the federal government, no matter who they are, 146 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:45.879 they're conservative or liberal, or even if we were to 147 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:49.360 say rebuilt the NDP and they were to create a 148 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:53.960 government that you would have to give Alberta is some 149 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.399 special attention because they are a huge moneymaker for the country, 150 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:05.279 which daniel Smith once again has a lot a lot 151 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.960 of credit to her with that. She knows that she 152 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:15.320 also is going to talk about negotiating, of course with 153 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:21.559 the current Carney government to to to you know, with 154 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:30.600 things like electricity and other utilities that they're trying to 155 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:34.240 reduce the carp footprint of those things for Alberta, and 156 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:36.320 Alberta is being a little resistant. 157 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:41.120 So we have that. 158 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:49.120 In Danielle Smith also has a point there. Okay, so 159 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:54.080 let's start with it this way. There is a sign 160 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.879 on a charging station and evolved nearby where we are 161 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:10.919 broadcasting from. Okay. It says powered by water and it 162 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:14.919 is powered by water. British Columbia use it uses hydro 163 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:19.519 electric dams in order to generate electric power and to 164 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:23.639 power up the grid. Across British Columbia. They have a 165 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.360 series of dams to actually do that, not and use 166 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:38.320 very few few carbon burning generators. Okay, so here's the 167 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:47.399 rub that the environmental impact of building a dam versus 168 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:55.840 the carbon footprint of a natural gas generator that Alberta 169 00:15:55.919 --> 00:16:06.759 uses is in the long run nearly the same. Powering 170 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:08.840 everything by water means that you have to build this 171 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.320 huge dam. Well, that dam means that you have to 172 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:18.919 destroy an ecosystem in order to build it. The destruction 173 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:30.399 of the ecosystem takes generations to actually recover the damage 174 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:34.759 that you have done. It is something that is paid 175 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.399 for a generation after generation. It could take five, six, 176 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:44.559 seven generations in order to actually start to pay back 177 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.799 that carbon debt that you have created, because what you 178 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:56.080 have managed to do is you have destroyed the ecosystem 179 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:58.679 that is sinking the carbon back out of there and 180 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:07.519 putting it back into the ground. And that means that 181 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:20.960 hydroelectric energy isn't any cleaner than natural gas electricity because 182 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.559 you pay for the carbon footprint along the way. With 183 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:31.599 natural gas, it isn't something that you have to tear 184 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:38.039 down a whole lot of trees in order to build 185 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:41.920 the dam. For the concrete. There's a whole lot of 186 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.960 things that go into actually building a dam, that and 187 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.720 the environmental impact that it actually has with different species 188 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:59.240 of wildlife being interrupted. That just for instance, a caribou 189 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.519 run when they when in the construction of the site 190 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:08.640 see dam in British Columbia, they now had to find 191 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:13.400 a new place to defind their food and numbers of 192 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:17.640 caribou were lost from the herds, which isn't really talked 193 00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:21.119 about much. We don't talk about that, we don't talk 194 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:26.720 about how the indigenous hunting grounds were interrupted because of this. 195 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:34.160 So daniel Smith has a point that if we're going 196 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:42.400 to crash in on Alberta using natural gas generators, that 197 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:48.359 we have to take a closer look at the environmental 198 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:54.640 impact of a hydro electric dam. So with all that, 199 00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:58.119 why don't we listen to mister Karney as he visited 200 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:02.240 the White House, and well, listen to Danielle Smith as 201 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.960 he talks about the feature of Alberta. 202 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:13.440 His party was losing by a lot and he ended 203 00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:13.960 up winning. 204 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:16.720 So I really want to congratulate him, probably one of 205 00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.960 the greatest comebacks in the history of politics, maybe even 206 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.200 greater than mine. But I want to just congratulate you 207 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:27.440 Rose a great election. Actually, we were watching it with interest, 208 00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.319 and I think Canada chose a very talented person, a 209 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.559 very good person. As we spoke before the election quite 210 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:36.359 a few times, and it's an honor to have you 211 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.720 at the White House and the Oval Office and you 212 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:42.759 see the new and improved Oval Office as it becomes 213 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.759 more and more beautiful with love, you know, we handle 214 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.400 it with great love and twenty four character. 215 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:53.000 That always helps too. But it's been a lot of 216 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:54.839 fun going over some of. 217 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:57.960 The beautiful pictures that were stolen in the vaults that 218 00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.759 were for many many years, some cases over one hundred years. 219 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:05.720 They restored in bolts of the great presidents who are 220 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:09.319 almost great presidents, all having a reason for being up, 221 00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.079 every one of them. So it's very interesting. But I 222 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.440 just want to congratulate you. And we had a really 223 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.640 great race. I watched the debate. I thought you were excellent, 224 00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:20.960 and I think we have a lot of things in common. 225 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.799 We have some tough points to go over and that'll 226 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:27.400 be fine. Will it also be discussing Ukraine Russia the 227 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.839 war because Mark once it ended as quickly as I do, 228 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.799 I think it has to end. We had some very 229 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.599 good news last night. The Uties have announced that they 230 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.279 are not, or they've announced to us at least that 231 00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.079 they don't want to fight anymore. They just don't want 232 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:46.839 to fight, and we will honor that and we will 233 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:54.720 we will stop the bombings and they have capitulated. But 234 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:58.960 more importantly, we will take their word. They say they 235 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.559 will not be blowing up anymore. And that's what the 236 00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:04.960 purpose of what we were doing. So that's just news. 237 00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.839 We just found out about that. So uh, I think 238 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:12.079 it's very very positive. They were they were knocking out 239 00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:15.119 a lot of ships going uh as you know, uh. 240 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.680 Sailing beautifully down the various seas. 241 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.119 It uh it wasn't just a canal, it was a 242 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:24.680 lot of other places. And uh, I will accept their word, 243 00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:27.640 and we are going to stop the bombing of the 244 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:34.039 Bouti's uh effective immediately. And Marco, you'll let everybody know that. Okay, 245 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:36.279 Uh do you have something to say about that. By 246 00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:37.799 the way, it was a prodig announcement. 247 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:40.039 Yeah, this was always a freedom of navigation, you sho. 248 00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:42.839 Besides, he's a you know, a band of individual with 249 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.640 advanced weaponry that were threatening global should be and the. 250 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:47.880 Job was to get that to stop. And UH, if 251 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:48.960 it's going to stop, then we. 252 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.839 Can stop and uh so, uh it it's I think 253 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.680 it's an important development and we'll have maybe before we're 254 00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.079 going to it's you know, the Middle East, uh Saudi Arabia. 255 00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:02.920 We're going to uh u ee and guitar and that'll 256 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.640 be I guess Monday night. Some of you are coming 257 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.880 with us. I think before then, we're gonna have a 258 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.480 very very big announcement to make, like as big as 259 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:14.519 it gets. And I won't tell you on what, but 260 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.240 it's gonna and it's very positive. I'd also I tell 261 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:19.200 you if it was negative and positive, I can't keep 262 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:19.720 that up. 263 00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.440 It is really really positive. 264 00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:26.559 And that announcement will be made either Thursday or Friday 265 00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:29.720 or Monday before we leave. But it'll be one of 266 00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:33.759 the most important announcements that have been made in many 267 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.640 years about a certain subject, very important subject. So you'll 268 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:40.640 all be here, Uh Mark, would you like to say 269 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:41.559 a few words. 270 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:42.920 Well, thank you, miss President. 271 00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:47.119 I'm on the edge of my seat actually, but thank 272 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.960 you for your hospitality in a at above all, for 273 00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:53.559 your for your leadership. You're a You're a transformational president. 274 00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.799 Focus on the economy with a relentless focus on the 275 00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:01.319 American worker. Uh secure in your borders, providing end in 276 00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:06.039 the scourge of fentanyl and other opioids, and and securing 277 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:10.359 the world. And I've been elected with with my colleagues here, 278 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:12.519 with the help of my colleagues here, I'm gonna spread 279 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:18.160 spread the the credit UH to transform Canada with a 280 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:23.119 similar focus on the economy, securing our borders again on fentanyl, UH, 281 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.799 much greater focus on defense and security, securing the Arctic, 282 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.119 and developing the Arctic. And you know, the history of 283 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:32.799 Canada and the US is we're stronger when we work together, 284 00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:35.000 and there's many opportunities to work together. And I look 285 00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.839 forward to, you know, addressing some of those issues that 286 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.119 we have, but also finding those areas of mutual cooperation 287 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:41.440 so we. 288 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.559 Can go for it. That's very nice, Thank you very much. Sure. 289 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.680 No, it was actually very effective and it's still very effective. 290 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.880 But people have to follow it, so you know, that's 291 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:01.720 been a problem. 292 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:05.440 People haven't followed it. But it's a it was. 293 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:10.200 A transitional step a little bit, and as you know, 294 00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:15.359 it it terminates very shortly. It it gets renegotiated very shortly. 295 00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.880 But I thought it was a very positive step from NAFTA, 296 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:20.799 and NAFTA was the worst trade deal in the history 297 00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:22.960 of our country, probably in the history of the world. 298 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:30.160 And this was a transitional deal, and we'll see what happens, 299 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:33.480 you know, we we'ether it be st starting to possibly 300 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:35.920 renegotiate that if it's even necessary. I don't know that 301 00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:39.039 it's necessary anymore. But it served a very good purpose, 302 00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:41.480 and the biggest purpose it served as we got rid 303 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.319 of NAFTA. NAFTA was a very unfair deal for the 304 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:46.559 United States. It's a very very terrible deal and it 305 00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:48.680 should have never been made. It was made many years ago, 306 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:50.000 but it should have never been made. 307 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:55.640 The United States would like to see your first trade 308 00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.960 deal being Canada or nest I would. 309 00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:58.599 I would love that. 310 00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:00.519 Look, I have a lot of respect for this man, 311 00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:04.200 and I watched him come up and assents through the 312 00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.319 ranks when he wasn't given much of a chance, and 313 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:09.279 he did. He ran a really great campaign. He did 314 00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:11.640 a really great debate. I think that debate was very helpful. 315 00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:16.319 I was going to raise my hand, you know, I 316 00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:16.880 don't know if. 317 00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:18.839 That's good at bet I shouldn't say that. It might 318 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:19.319 hurt you. 319 00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:22.319 But no, he ran a really great election, I thought, 320 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:27.720 and yeah, something could happen, something could happen. 321 00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:29.880 What's the top concession you want out of Canada? 322 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.640 The top concession you want out of Canada concession friendship. 323 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:35.599 But that's not a good session. 324 00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:37.720 No, I just, I just We're going to be friends 325 00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:40.440 with Canada. Regardless of anything. We're going to be friends 326 00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.359 with Canada. Canada is a very special place to meet. 327 00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.519 I know so many people that live in Canada. My 328 00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:51.160 parents had relatives had lived in Canada, my mother in particular. 329 00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:55.240 And no, I love Canada a lot of I have 330 00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:57.920 a lot of respect for the Canadians. 331 00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.319 Wayne Gretzky, I mean the great one. 332 00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:04.319 You happen to have a very very good hockey player 333 00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:06.599 right here on the capitals who I have a lot 334 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:08.480 of is He is a big tough cookie too. It 335 00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.680 just broke the record and he's a great guy. And 336 00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:14.319 you know, we had the we had the team here 337 00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:16.039 and I got to know a lot of the players. 338 00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:22.319 But now, Canada is a very special places a president. 339 00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:26.720 Or his office too, as a resident. You said that 340 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:31.680 Canada's postage. No, no, well I still believe that. 341 00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:34.319 But but you know it takes two to tango, right, 342 00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:37.119 But no, I do, I mean, I believe it would 343 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.519 be a massive tax cut for the Canadian citizens. Uh, 344 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.799 you get free military, you get tremendous medical cares and 345 00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:50.079 other things. There would be a lot of advantages, but 346 00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:52.319 it would be it would be a massive tax cut. 347 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:54.640 And it's also a beautiful you know. 348 00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:56.440 As a real estate developer, you know, I'm a real 349 00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:57.680 estate developer at heart. 350 00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:00.240 When you get rid of that artificially. 351 00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:02.240 Drawing line somebody drew that line many years ago, was 352 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.799 like a ruler, just a straight line right across the 353 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.359 top of the country. When you look at that beautiful 354 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:12.359 formation when it's together, I'm a very artistic person, but 355 00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:14.359 when I looked at that beauty, I said, that's the 356 00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:18.079 way it was meant to be. But you know, I 357 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.319 just I do feel it's much better for Canada. But 358 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:24.279 we're not going to be discussing that unless somebody wants 359 00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:28.200 to discuss it. I think that there are tremendous benefits 360 00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:33.599 to the Canadian citizens, tremendously lower taxes, free military, which honestly, 361 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:35.559 we give you essentially anyway, because we're. 362 00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:39.440 Protecting Canada if you have had a problem. But I think, 363 00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:43.039 you know, it's it would really be a wonderful marriage 364 00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:46.039 because it's two places. They get along very well. They 365 00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:49.400 like each other alone well, if I may. 366 00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:53.359 As you know from real estate, there are some places 367 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.960 that are never for sale. We're sitting in one right now, 368 00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:59.359 you know, Buckingham Palace, and you visit it as well. 369 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.839 And having met with the owners of Canada over the 370 00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.640 course of the campaign last several months, it's not for sale, 371 00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:12.319 won't be for sale ever. But the opportunity is in 372 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:15.160 the partnership and what we can build together, and we 373 00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:17.119 have done that in the past. And part of that, 374 00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.440 as the President just said, is with respect to our 375 00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:24.920 own security, and my government is committed for a step 376 00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:28.960 change in our investment in Canadian security and our partnership. 377 00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:32.240 And I'll say this as well, that the President has 378 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.680 revitalized international security, revitalized NATO and us playing our full 379 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:39.519 weight in NATO, and that will be. 380 00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:45.240 Parts I was saying. 381 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:50.240 Canada is stepping up the military participation because. 382 00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:53.640 Mark, you know, they were low and now they're stepping 383 00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:55.160 it up. And that's a very important thing. 384 00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:59.440 But never say never, never say never. 385 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:06.119 What would take all of Canada. 386 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:09.160 Well, we'll be talking about different things. You know, we 387 00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:10.720 want to protect our. 388 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.599 Automobile business and so does Mark. 389 00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:15.759 But we want to protect, we want to make the 390 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.440 automobiles and we want to you know, we have a 391 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.039 tremendous abundance of energy, more than any country. We have 392 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:25.400 just in Alaska alone, hand War has been reopened now 393 00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:27.960 and West were probably the largest find anywhere in the world. 394 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:29.960 They say it's larger than Saudi Arabia. I don't know, 395 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.440 but it's a lot. But we have tremendous amounts of energy. 396 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.359 Other countries don't. We're both lucky that way. They have energy. 397 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:39.440 We have energy. We have more than we can ever 398 00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:42.720 use and more than we could ever sell. Actually, and 399 00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.359 you have the same thing. So with two countries that 400 00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:47.279 are very lucky. If you look at China, they don't 401 00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:50.640
