00:03:16.040
do you think 10% or even less you're even less than that this would want to separate the rest of us

are happy to be in Canada I feel like you guys get a lot of disrespect from Ottawa in general huge yeah
00:03:29.840
we're always left out of the conversation yeah that's why I would have voted but we
00:03:40.280
because he's not true in this book he's not true but we we always have to send the message that
00:03:48.260
we're left out of it yeah yeah yeah you got to send a message right
00:03:55.460
just waiting for my bag right now and you know it's been a while since I've flown
00:04:12.180
and I've been very it's been a very nice feeling to see the high standards and quality and sort of
00:04:22.300
self-respect of the pilots and the crew on a plane you know they're they all look great they're all a
00:04:32.160
very prim and proper outfit with the tie they look professional you know it reminds me of
00:04:43.780
it's just kind of sad that it's like yeah we have standards when you work for a corporation
00:04:51.800
you know that's where we enforce standards that's where we have self-respect you know why can't we
00:04:58.080
have that for the nation you know why can't we have you know what comes to mind is uh
00:05:03.980
infamously years ago christia freeland went to uh negotiate like a trade deal in the states and she
00:05:12.800
had like a graphic t-shirt on her her thighs are falling out all over the place
00:05:18.460
little decorum you know just just kind of coming across like some sort of i don't know
00:05:25.660
sorority girl or something that's almost like a compliment but um
00:05:30.580
where's the self-respect in in canadians canadian institutions
00:05:37.700
uh it's only when you work for a corporation does that self-respect come up when there's some sort of
00:05:44.680
financial incentive there's never like an honor just for honor's sake of the country you live in
00:05:50.180
but it still exists you know it exists we just need to translate that to the country you know
00:05:58.500
