i live about 16 clicks east okay okay so you're east of the city of calgary and question to you
00:02:21.240
is what message do you have for people who are voting liberal on monday don't that's simple
00:02:30.360
use the kiss method right keep it simple stupid just don't uh kirk howell i'm from calgary what's the
00:02:37.560
number one issue for the you in this in this campaign and in this election number one issue
00:02:42.760
is just kind of me it's the economy like i think just we have we we've just been underperforming
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
00:03:10.840
what message do you have for people who say they're going to vote liberal on monday uh why would you
00:03:16.840
want 10 for years of this if the country is worse off by every measure that absolutely matters to working
00:03:23.800
canadians the country is worse off now than it was in 2014 because of all the failed policies
00:03:29.800
the limits what's what's the number one issue for you here for the people voting liberal it seems
00:03:35.480
to be donald okay well that's what the liberals are saying right the reason canada is in the
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
00:03:51.080
proactive and our governments have done the right things we would have been strong and it wouldn't
00:03:55.720
matter what donald trump does but because we've been weakened by our government donald trump now
00:04:01.320
presents a threat to us what message do you have for people who say they're voting liberal on monday
00:04:13.240
but what about the people who live in the rest of the country well i'd say you're making a big
00:04:17.320

00:07:13.960

00:07:21.960
this is actually an aircraft hangar here in northeast calgary here's some video paulia rolling
00:07:27.640
up in his airplane today so people went crazy when that happened i've spoken to so many people here today
00:07:33.720
on video and not on video who are optimistic about what's going to happen here on monday when it
00:07:39.320
comes to election day so this is pretty exciting they say they could put four or five thousand
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
00:08:04.040
the only leader that will bring real change to canada
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%.
00:09:42.360
He says he's going to get rid of all gas-powered vehicles by 2035.
00:09:48.720
Of course, very enthusiastic crowd here in Calgary for Pierre Polyev.
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.
00:10:08.960
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.
00:10:19.000
I did get to see Polyev a number of years back when he was running for the leadership here at Spruce Meadows in Calgary.
00:10:27.920
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.
00:10:37.600
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.
00:10:52.220
Thanks to all the people I chatted with out here.
00:10:56.220
It was a real fun day here in Northeast Calgary.
00:11:00.260
