00:02:37.560 number one issue for the you in this in this campaign and in this election number one issue

00:02:48.920 like massively over the last nine years and we can't do anything without a strong economy so right
00:02:53.960 we can't fund our healthcare systems our education systems we can't kind of stand up for ourselves if
00:02:58.920 that's something we need to be doing against the u.s and uh in order for us to be the independent we need to
00:03:04.360 have a strong economy so that's what i'm hoping whoever gets in and i hope that's the primary

00:03:44.360 show that it is right now we donald trump's antics shouldn't matter to canadians because if we had been

00:07:45.160 people in this hangar more people are coming in all the time you can see them over at the door
00:07:50.280 over here an incredible moment here in canada here in calgary at this
00:07:57.480 really short stop for pauliaff as he heads off to british columbia later today
00:08:02.360 i'd like to introduce to you
00:08:04.040 the only leader that will bring real change to canada
00:08:10.920 um
00:08:36.600 Oh, my God.
00:09:06.600 And we have a plan.
00:09:12.800 And we have a plan for you.
00:09:15.320 A plan that's going to reverse the last several decades to do exactly the opposite we've seen over the last 10 years.
00:09:23.740 First of all, it proposes to cut the literal deficit by 70%.
00:09:29.220 Just got back to my car.
00:09:33.220 Incredible from Pierre Polyev.
00:09:34.960 A regular stump speech today.
00:09:37.460 He talked about housing.
00:09:38.700 He talks about car prices.
00:09:40.600 He talked about the new carnie tax.
00:09:42.360 He says he's going to get rid of all gas-powered vehicles by 2035.
00:09:47.300 How he's going to end that.
00:09:48.720 Of course, very enthusiastic crowd here in Calgary for Pierre Polyev.
00:09:52.960 This is his hometown.
00:09:54.220 So a big deal for him being here.
00:09:55.740 And I can't say how many people were here.
00:09:57.860 But the hangar, they say, can fit 4,000 to 5,000 people.
00:10:02.020 An amazing number of people here for a Friday afternoon when people are working.
00:10:07.060 And I saw people of all ages here.
00:10:08.960 So great to talk to so many people in line today.
00:10:12.740 Nice to run into people who recognize me from my YouTube channel as well.
00:10:16.540 But it was a lot of fun to be here once again.
00:10:19.000 I did get to see Polyev a number of years back when he was running for the leadership here at Spruce Meadows in Calgary.
00:10:24.720 Great to see him here again today.
00:10:27.920 And I have to say, I felt a little bit patriotic today.
00:10:30.720 For somebody who's a separatist, I felt a little patriotic today.
00:10:34.040 Because I want to see Polyev win on Monday.
00:10:37.600 I don't think we can do with another day of the Liberal government.
00:10:41.600 And we certainly can't do with Mark Carney and the current Liberal government.
00:10:44.940 Which is the same as we've had for the last 10 years.
00:10:48.640 Thanks so much for watching this video.
00:10:50.380 Thanks to the people I spoke to in line.
00:10:52.220 Thanks to all the people I chatted with out here.
