00:00:00.000 Do you think this country has a future? And the reason I ask you that, it's, you know, I mean,
00:00:03.580 Quebec has been wanting out for 50 or 60 years. Alberta looks like they're getting closer and
00:00:08.380 closer to their own sovereignty. And if they go, then Saskatchewan is next. So what is left for
00:00:13.100 this country? How do we get it back? I'm very optimistic by nature. I think that we can take
00:00:18.840 this country back. It's going to take hard work, but there's something that's here that's worth
00:00:22.240 fighting for. And a lot of young people in particular are looking for something bigger
00:00:26.720 than them to give them to give purpose in their life it comes from this kind of secularism that's
00:00:31.400 taken over our society there's an emptiness that needs to be filled and I think that can be filled
00:00:36.100 by by nationalism and this greater kind of mobilizing myth of remigration we have something
00:00:40.660 that we're fighting for and I think that having that empowers people to do great things so there
00:00:45.640 is a lot of challenges on the horizon but there are people that have gone through more difficult
00:00:50.260 things look at what happened in Spain when the country was conquered by the Muslims they were
00:00:54.700 wiped out to small minorities in corners of cities before they took back their country and
00:01:00.240 rebuilt it. So I believe in the kind of indomitable Canadian spirit. I think the people of this land
00:01:06.140 are some of the most creative and powerful, forged in hostile territory. The very lands that we grew
00:01:13.180 out of are perilous, and we are a uniting of some of the greatest European nations into one. So I
00:01:19.440 I do think we have a great kind of foundation to build off of.
00:01:23.660 It's just about accepting the problems and the solutions and then working together to achieve them.
