00:00:00.000 Welcome to Canada's Most Irreverent Talk Show.
00:00:06.660 This is the Andrew Lawton Show, brought to you by True North.
00:00:12.920 Coming up, hope on the horizon to get rid of the carbon tax,
00:00:16.800 why Canada is closed for business,
00:00:18.940 and the mainstream media's curious double standard on press freedom.
00:00:24.200 The Andrew Lawton Show starts right now.
00:00:30.820 Hey everyone, welcome to another edition of Canada's Most Irreverent Talk Show,
00:00:36.180 the Andrew Lawton Show here on True North.
00:00:38.460 The first episode of the week, it is great to have you tuned into the program
00:00:42.040 as we talk about a number of things that are happening in Canada,
00:00:45.520 all seemingly coming to a head, but with a common thread between them.
00:00:49.740 And we'll be talking later on in the show about the Tech Frontier decision to withdraw,
00:00:54.120 the so-called resolution to the blockades that are still popping up around the country,
00:00:59.800 and why Justin Trudeau should have dealt with this much sooner,
00:01:03.120 and also in a few moments about Alberta's carbon tax decision,
00:01:07.140 which is hopeful, but at the same time, not definitive champagne cork popping just yet,
00:01:13.760 and we'll explain why in a couple of moments.
00:01:16.400 But I do want to bring up this case first,
00:01:18.520 because a teacher at McMaster University,
00:01:21.540 a teaching assistant in sociology, of course,
00:01:26.080 has decided that they are going to give students class credit for joining a blockade.
00:01:32.940 This is buried in a CBC story about, quote,
00:01:36.460 indigenous solidarity protests shutting down Hamilton,
00:01:40.040 Niagara GO trains and blocking the highway.
00:01:42.740 And Sonia Hill, who's herself, it sounds like,
00:01:45.700 a mohawk from Six Nations of Grand River,
00:01:48.300 says she will be supporting them.
00:01:50.940 She says, I'm coming back tomorrow.
00:01:52.620 I'm going to bring my students,
00:01:54.280 make it a part of their credit,
00:01:56.640 their attendance to check in with me at the blockade.
00:02:00.100 Now, when she says check in,
00:02:01.340 I don't think she means just like show up with a box of Timbits,
00:02:04.240 say, hey, how are you and head back.
00:02:05.980 She's actually making it part of class credit to break the law.
00:02:10.800 And what do you want to bet that no one is going to say anything about it?
00:02:14.300 I would certainly bet that no one is going to criticize this from McMaster University.
00:02:19.660 I mean, after all, Jonathan Kaye had a great tweet the other day
00:02:23.220 where he was talking about a school that was doing a smudging ceremony,
00:02:26.540 which is an indigenous ritual where you burn,
00:02:29.520 I don't know if it's always sage or something,
00:02:31.540 but you burn herbs and you smudge, you wave it around.
00:02:34.680 And I'm not, as a Christian, going to besmirch anyone's spiritual practices,
00:02:40.080 but I will say that there is a double standard that exists
00:02:43.620 when in the case of this smudging ceremony,
00:02:47.540 people were allowed to do this when you would never be allowed
00:02:53.140 to walk through and burn incense in traditional Catholic form.
00:02:58.180 And in particular, it was about how Queen's University
00:03:00.740 is itself facilitating this.
00:03:04.020 So a public university is saying,
00:03:05.660 you're going to do this and we're doing this
00:03:08.560 and it's been approved by the fire safety coordinator
00:03:10.620 and we encourage you to be involved in it
00:03:13.560 in a way that you wouldn't with other spiritual rituals.
00:03:16.280 So you've got this double standard that's existing
00:03:19.080 between the way that an indigenous ritual or practice is viewed,
00:03:23.900 whether it's a spiritual practice or whether it's a protest,
00:03:27.620 versus the way that anyone else would be treated
00:03:30.160 for doing the exact same thing.
00:03:32.720 So we're going to see more of this as the week
00:03:35.720 and the next couple of weeks, I think, go on.
00:03:37.760 We'll talk about it later in the show,
00:03:39.060 but I had to share that first.
00:03:40.620 Class credit for joining a protest.
00:03:42.400 Here I was thinking that skipping school
00:03:44.480 gets you out of being graded for things,
00:03:46.860 but little did I know.
00:03:48.620 In any case, I want to talk about this 4-1 decision
00:03:51.620 by the Alberta Court of Appeal
00:03:54.040 to find the federal carbon tax unconstitutional.
00:03:57.860 Now, this is big news for a couple of reasons.
00:04:00.740 Firstly, of the three court decisions on the carbon tax,
00:04:05.360 this is the first one to say we are against it.
00:04:08.240 We do not believe it's constitutional.
00:04:10.340 The Ontario case, the Saskatchewan case,
00:04:13.200 both were split rulings,
00:04:14.660 but both ultimately sided with the federal government.
00:04:18.280 This was 4-1, so not a slam dunk necessarily,
00:04:22.440 but still very decisive.
00:04:24.260 And it called the legislation a Trojan horse
00:04:27.840 because it was basically finding that it's a backdoor
00:04:30.960 into the government regulating and legislating
00:04:33.940 on virtually anything under the auspices of environmentalism.
00:04:40.060 Because I was covering the Ontario carbon tax case
00:04:42.960 in April of last year, so coming up on a year ago,
00:04:46.840 and the arguments that I was seeing and hearing
00:04:49.580 from the Ontario government were very sound.
00:04:51.900 They were basically saying that if you allow the government
00:04:55.700 to hijack this, you're allowing the government
00:04:58.760 to create out of thin air issues
00:05:01.520 that it says are under federal jurisdiction.
00:05:04.340 And not that I'm a constitutional lawyer,
00:05:07.080 but as a journalist who's covered constitutional cases,
00:05:09.680 I have somewhat of a solid grasp on the issues at hand here.
00:05:14.220 And there are very specific grounds
00:05:16.800 that the federal government can claim
00:05:18.900 as its so-called heads of power,
00:05:20.660 areas where it can claim jurisdiction.
00:05:22.800 And only on six occasions have Canadian courts
00:05:27.220 granted the federal government
00:05:28.780 a new head of power, basically.
00:05:31.120 And not even in the sense of a new head of power,
00:05:33.340 but they found exceptions to these
00:05:35.720 that favor the federal government.
00:05:37.680 Only six occasions, which means it's rare,
00:05:40.300 which means it's important
00:05:41.380 to protect provincial jurisdiction.
00:05:43.920 And the Alberta Court of Appeal found this.
00:05:46.240 They found that, here's the line,
00:05:48.160 time has not eroded the province's rights
00:05:50.520 to have the powers assigned to them
00:05:52.160 under our constitution, sedulously respected.
00:05:55.780 While some may view the division of powers
00:05:57.900 as anachronistic or a barrier to uniform action
00:06:01.380 in service of a common good,
00:06:03.240 the division of powers remains key to our federal state.
00:06:07.360 It is part of the fabric of Canada itself.
00:06:10.440 The federal and provincial governments are co-equals,
00:06:13.300 each level of government being supreme within its sphere.
00:06:16.540 The federal government is not the parent,
00:06:19.360 and the provincial governments are not its children.
00:06:23.120 Now, the one thing that I found interesting
00:06:24.800 about the Alberta ruling
00:06:26.360 is that the very first section,
00:06:28.100 the very first paragraph,
00:06:29.500 was talking about how much of a threat climate change is.
00:06:32.060 They said,
00:06:32.340 calls to action to save the planet,
00:06:34.500 we all share evoke strong emotions,
00:06:36.360 and properly so.
00:06:37.680 The dangers of climate change are undoubted,
00:06:40.080 as are the risks flowing from failure
00:06:42.340 to meet the essential challenge.
00:06:44.000 It's undisputed that greenhouse gas emissions
00:06:46.300 caused by people are a course of climate change,
00:06:49.040 yada, yada, yada.
00:06:50.180 They're basically saying here
00:06:52.040 that the case is not a referendum
00:06:54.360 or a verdict on climate change itself.
00:06:56.720 Their case is not addressing the science.
00:06:58.880 They're addressing the fundamental question
00:07:00.760 of whether it is constitutional or not
00:07:04.220 for the federal government
00:07:06.180 to regulate greenhouse gas emissions
00:07:07.980 under the auspices of climate change
00:07:10.580 being a national concern.
00:07:12.240 Because remember,
00:07:13.140 the David Suzuki Foundation,
00:07:14.960 which was an intervener in all cases,
00:07:17.320 wanted the government to have license to do this
00:07:19.920 because of emergency provisions in the Constitution.
00:07:23.460 Basically, it's a national emergency.
00:07:25.540 We can suspend the Constitution.
00:07:26.820 That's what the Suzuki Foundation wanted.
00:07:30.900 And in Ontario,
00:07:32.120 the federal government actually opened the door
00:07:34.200 to saying,
00:07:34.760 yeah, we kind of agree with that
00:07:36.120 if the court finds it to have merit.
00:07:38.200 Thankfully, the court didn't find it to have merit.
00:07:41.280 But the court did find that sections one and two
00:07:44.340 of the act were, in fact, unconstitutional.
00:07:47.900 The first part of the act
00:07:49.840 is the levy on various fuels.
00:07:51.720 So that's the consumer carbon tax
00:07:53.540 that you see on fuel pumps
00:07:55.300 and home heating bills, et cetera.
00:07:57.280 Part two is the output-based limits
00:07:59.700 that you get on really large industrial emitters.
00:08:02.540 So mines, really large factories,
00:08:04.940 the oil sands, et cetera.
00:08:06.700 And all of these things,
00:08:08.440 I think, were part and parcel of a dilemma
00:08:12.360 that originally was in the political grounds.
00:08:15.220 I thought Canadians were going to reject
00:08:17.080 the carbon tax at the polls.
00:08:18.820 And I think they did in provinces
00:08:20.300 like Alberta and Saskatchewan
00:08:21.960 and Manitoba to some extent.
00:08:24.200 But Trudeau won again.
00:08:25.440 So you can't say that it was a wholesale rejection
00:08:28.240 of the carbon tax.
00:08:30.220 But what did happen is the federal government
00:08:32.720 basically decided that it was going to put
00:08:35.180 taxing for your own good
00:08:37.860 as a fundamental pillar of its identity,
00:08:43.420 of the liberal brand,
00:08:44.840 all in the name of ending climate change
00:08:46.900 when there is no direct correlation
00:08:48.620 between a carbon tax and climate change solving.
00:08:52.780 And the reason is that you have
00:08:54.700 a competitive global economy
00:08:56.100 and countries like India and China
00:08:58.540 are not going to sacrifice their output
00:09:00.800 for the same goal.
00:09:01.920 But they're the ones who are actually emitters.
00:09:05.060 They're the ones who are actually emitters.
00:09:06.740 And we talked about this last week
00:09:08.040 with Patrick Moore,
00:09:09.420 how CO2, which is under the legislation,
00:09:12.880 a greenhouse gas,
00:09:14.460 is in his view,
00:09:16.320 and he's got a PhD in this,
00:09:17.620 he's not one of these just keyboard warrior types,
00:09:20.080 is a positive for the environment.
00:09:23.140 And we talked about that.
00:09:24.040 If you haven't heard it,
00:09:24.780 go back and listen to that episode.
00:09:26.380 So I want to talk about the legal implications
00:09:29.100 and the political implications
00:09:30.740 of this carbon tax decision
00:09:33.000 from the Alberta Court of Appeal.
00:09:34.720 Joining me on the line now
00:09:35.960 is Alberta Director Franco Terrazano
00:09:38.440 from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
00:09:40.660 Franco, good to talk to you.
00:09:41.680 Thanks for coming on today.
00:09:43.020 Hey, anytime.
00:09:43.720 This is an important ruling
00:09:45.240 that came out yesterday,
00:09:46.140 so happy to chat about it.
00:09:47.620 And obviously after the rulings
00:09:49.760 in Ontario and Saskatchewan,
00:09:51.620 which sided with the carbon tax,
00:09:53.700 this is a particularly delightful development
00:09:56.940 in the case.
00:09:58.040 Well, this was a big win
00:09:59.200 for taxpayers in Alberta
00:10:01.060 and across Canada.
00:10:03.000 It was a 4-1 ruling
00:10:04.200 that said that the federal carbon tax
00:10:06.700 is unconstitutional.
00:10:08.580 And like you said,
00:10:09.420 it follows split decisions
00:10:11.340 that have come from Saskatchewan
00:10:13.000 and Ontario.
00:10:14.140 So clearly there's some strong legal arguments
00:10:16.800 that are being made
00:10:18.620 against the federal carbon tax.
00:10:20.760 And, you know,
00:10:21.620 it's really coming down to the wire.
00:10:23.400 In March,
00:10:23.900 we're going to be heading
00:10:24.420 to the Supreme Court.
00:10:26.180 And so far,
00:10:27.140 we've had these three cases.
00:10:28.540 We've had 15 judges hear the case
00:10:31.220 and eight have ruled
00:10:32.760 in favor of the carbon tax
00:10:34.360 and seven have ruled
00:10:35.500 that the carbon tax
00:10:36.180 is unconstitutional.
00:10:37.060 So it's really coming down
00:10:38.500 to the wire,
00:10:39.440 but taxpayers should have
00:10:40.560 a lot of optimism
00:10:41.780 heading into the final
00:10:43.000 Supreme Court case.
00:10:45.720 And it's worth noting,
00:10:47.080 you're not just approaching
00:10:48.000 this as a commentator.
00:10:49.320 The Canadian Taxpayers Federation
00:10:51.000 was an intervenor,
00:10:52.300 I think,
00:10:52.880 in all three of the cases.
00:10:54.260 And certainly that seems
00:10:55.640 to have really been
00:10:58.260 adding a development to this
00:10:59.720 that even other intervenors
00:11:01.340 in the provinces challenging weren't.
00:11:03.140 And I was wondering
00:11:03.520 if you could tell me
00:11:04.240 what the CTF position
00:11:05.920 was on that.
00:11:06.660 Absolutely.
00:11:07.080 So we've been intervening.
00:11:08.300 We've already intervened
00:11:09.160 in Saskatchewan, Ontario.
00:11:10.540 We intervene in Alberta as well.
00:11:12.780 You know,
00:11:12.920 I had the pleasure
00:11:13.820 of sitting in on the hearings
00:11:15.640 and we're also going to be intervening
00:11:16.900 in the Supreme Court as well.
00:11:18.700 And I just need to,
00:11:19.640 you know,
00:11:20.220 make this clear in Alberta
00:11:21.620 and at the Supreme Court level,
00:11:23.100 we're the only non-government
00:11:25.140 third party organization
00:11:26.420 standing up for taxpayers
00:11:27.900 and fighting against the carbon tax.
00:11:29.980 You know,
00:11:30.260 we've made a number of points.
00:11:31.720 So the first one is that,
00:11:32.760 you know,
00:11:32.880 the carbon tax
00:11:33.820 is not an environmental plan.
00:11:36.300 It is a tax plan
00:11:37.720 and the carbon tax
00:11:38.980 and the carbon tax,
00:11:40.460 you know,
00:11:40.600 is in fact a tax.
00:11:41.840 It's not a fee.
00:11:43.000 It's not a levy
00:11:43.860 or any other type
00:11:45.140 of federal creation.
00:11:46.600 And because it's a federal,
00:11:48.260 because it is a tax,
00:11:49.560 it violates
00:11:50.360 the very important principle
00:11:51.740 of no taxation
00:11:52.880 without representation
00:11:53.920 because the tax rates
00:11:55.560 aren't being voted
00:11:56.620 by members of parliament.
00:11:58.360 So because of that,
00:11:59.840 it is violating
00:12:00.840 that very important principle
00:12:02.260 of no taxation
00:12:03.120 without representation.
00:12:04.280 Well,
00:12:06.080 and that's an important aspect
00:12:07.300 of this
00:12:07.780 because we call it
00:12:08.960 a carbon tax
00:12:10.080 because it is.
00:12:11.020 And the,
00:12:11.540 in fact,
00:12:12.500 understanding that Canadians
00:12:14.020 have of it
00:12:14.660 is that it's a tax.
00:12:15.540 It's a tax on their fuel pumps,
00:12:16.920 their home heating bills,
00:12:17.820 all of these things.
00:12:18.880 It's important to note
00:12:19.780 the government actually denies
00:12:21.540 that this is a tax.
00:12:22.880 And at least in the Ontario
00:12:24.520 and Saskatchewan cases,
00:12:26.400 the courts tended
00:12:27.320 to accept that.
00:12:28.700 Yeah,
00:12:29.040 I mean,
00:12:29.320 we continue to push
00:12:30.680 that it is absolutely a tax.
00:12:33.300 It is not a levy.
00:12:34.960 It is not a fee.
00:12:36.720 And,
00:12:37.020 you know,
00:12:37.220 the ruling in
00:12:38.360 the provincial court
00:12:39.940 within Alberta
00:12:40.860 actually focused
00:12:42.000 on autonomy.
00:12:43.260 So found that
00:12:43.940 the carbon
00:12:44.700 is unconstitutional
00:12:46.940 because it,
00:12:48.540 because it's a clear
00:12:49.820 violation
00:12:50.980 of the balance of power.
00:12:52.620 So the court
00:12:53.220 in Alberta
00:12:53.640 made it clear
00:12:54.540 that natural resource
00:12:55.800 development follows
00:12:56.800 under the jurisdiction
00:12:58.620 of a province
00:12:59.600 and the federal carbon tax
00:13:00.960 is a clear violation
00:13:02.220 of this balance of power.
00:13:03.920 I mean,
00:13:04.360 the Alberta court ruling
00:13:05.800 is chock full
00:13:07.240 of reasons
00:13:08.760 why the balance of power
00:13:10.140 and the division of powers
00:13:11.320 within Canada
00:13:11.920 is extremely important
00:13:13.020 for the country to function
00:13:14.140 and so that we can keep
00:13:15.440 checks on powers
00:13:16.620 at the provincial level
00:13:17.560 and at the federal level.
00:13:19.160 And interestingly,
00:13:20.620 the court ruling
00:13:21.760 in Alberta
00:13:22.280 went so far
00:13:23.040 as to mention
00:13:23.840 or to refer
00:13:24.860 to the federal carbon tax
00:13:26.080 as Trojan,
00:13:27.140 as a type of Trojan horse
00:13:28.580 legislation
00:13:29.220 which is buried
00:13:30.720 within this.
00:13:31.840 It gives the federal government
00:13:33.320 a whole bunch of powers
00:13:35.360 that could substantially
00:13:36.560 erode provincial powers
00:13:38.320 down the road.
00:13:39.300 You know,
00:13:39.480 it just opens up
00:13:40.780 the door
00:13:41.340 for the federal government
00:13:42.460 to overstep
00:13:43.860 or to step
00:13:44.580 on provincial toes.
00:13:47.260 Yeah,
00:13:47.820 and that's huge
00:13:48.620 and that line
00:13:49.540 jumped out
00:13:50.200 to a lot of people,
00:13:51.120 myself included,
00:13:51.960 for the express reason
00:13:53.520 that the government's
00:13:55.100 whole defense here
00:13:56.160 is that anything
00:13:57.140 that is related
00:13:58.020 to greenhouse gas emissions
00:13:59.400 is an issue
00:14:00.340 of national concern
00:14:01.420 because the environment
00:14:02.360 is an issue
00:14:02.960 of national concern
00:14:04.000 and what the provinces
00:14:05.640 have been pointing out
00:14:06.660 and I'm very glad
00:14:07.560 they have
00:14:08.040 is that this would
00:14:08.720 give the government
00:14:09.420 license to regulate
00:14:10.680 anything that causes
00:14:12.740 an emission
00:14:13.740 of some kind.
00:14:14.700 So the federal government
00:14:15.520 could step in
00:14:16.120 and say
00:14:16.440 we're banning cars
00:14:17.860 or we're banning
00:14:18.920 wood stoves
00:14:19.720 or we're banning
00:14:20.420 all of these things
00:14:21.140 or we're outlawing
00:14:21.840 a certain industry
00:14:22.560 and that's where
00:14:23.860 I think the insidiousness
00:14:25.080 of this particular
00:14:26.220 tax comes in
00:14:28.000 is that it gives
00:14:28.800 the government license
00:14:29.680 to pretty much
00:14:30.360 go after you
00:14:31.240 in many more ways
00:14:32.600 than just this carbon tax.
00:14:34.220 And you know
00:14:34.480 and the judges
00:14:35.880 within the majority ruling
00:14:38.280 made that extremely clear
00:14:40.220 and they issued
00:14:41.560 many different warnings
00:14:43.100 on opening the door
00:14:44.360 to allow the federal government
00:14:45.540 these types of powers
00:14:46.900 and how they could
00:14:48.060 you know
00:14:48.300 because the matter
00:14:49.220 of the federal carbon tax
00:14:50.840 is the regulation
00:14:52.280 of GHG emissions
00:14:53.400 it opens the doors
00:14:54.360 for them to do
00:14:55.020 a whole bunch
00:14:55.780 of different things
00:14:56.500 it even talks about
00:14:57.760 how they can regulate
00:14:59.300 you know
00:14:59.560 almost every aspect
00:15:00.720 of natural resource development
00:15:02.060 of human life
00:15:03.580 in general
00:15:04.280 for example
00:15:05.580 the decision even talks
00:15:07.480 about public transit
00:15:08.380 for example
00:15:09.120 so just overstepping
00:15:10.200 in areas that are not
00:15:11.400 under the federal jurisdiction
00:15:12.660 and you know
00:15:13.920 the court
00:15:14.340 interestingly
00:15:15.000 the court
00:15:15.600 was talking about
00:15:16.920 how you know
00:15:17.300 climate change
00:15:17.920 is important
00:15:18.600 but just because
00:15:19.420 something is important
00:15:20.240 doesn't mean that
00:15:20.860 you can completely
00:15:21.520 change the constitution
00:15:23.060 and override
00:15:24.420 the true balance
00:15:25.780 of power
00:15:26.160 that your jurisdiction
00:15:27.300 has
00:15:28.060 so from a taxpayer
00:15:31.300 perspective
00:15:32.000 I guess I wanted
00:15:32.840 to ask you
00:15:33.360 whether you think
00:15:34.040 there's more
00:15:34.520 of a political issue
00:15:35.860 with the carbon tax
00:15:37.380 or a legal issue
00:15:38.260 because I think
00:15:38.960 that a lot of people
00:15:39.760 thought that
00:15:40.620 the last election
00:15:41.580 was going to be
00:15:42.320 in part a referendum
00:15:43.260 on the carbon tax
00:15:44.380 and I'm not sure
00:15:45.000 that narrative
00:15:45.580 entirely took hold
00:15:46.780 in the debate
00:15:47.840 and I mean
00:15:48.260 I would love
00:15:48.720 to see Canadians
00:15:49.520 reject this
00:15:50.300 but if it is illegal
00:15:51.120 at the same time
00:15:51.880 I'd like to see
00:15:52.480 courts reject it
00:15:53.260 well I think
00:15:53.640 I think there's both
00:15:54.440 a legal issue
00:15:55.240 and a political issue
00:15:56.280 at hand
00:15:56.680 so the legal issue
00:15:57.860 which we've already
00:15:58.540 been kind of discussing
00:15:59.460 which is outlined
00:16:00.560 fantastically
00:16:01.540 within the Alberta
00:16:02.300 Court of Appeal
00:16:03.060 in the sense
00:16:03.760 that it just
00:16:04.140 it's overstepping
00:16:05.120 the constitutional
00:16:06.000 jurisdiction
00:16:06.640 of the federal
00:16:07.180 government
00:16:07.500 so there is
00:16:08.080 a legal issue
00:16:08.780 which the court
00:16:09.940 has made clear
00:16:10.600 but there's also
00:16:11.360 let's call it
00:16:12.380 policy issue
00:16:13.300 and that policy issue
00:16:15.080 is that a federal
00:16:15.660 carbon tax
00:16:16.500 is not an
00:16:17.180 environmental plan
00:16:18.000 it is a tax plan
00:16:19.180 continuing to shoot
00:16:21.220 ourselves in the foot
00:16:22.520 in Canada
00:16:23.140 is not solving
00:16:24.220 any type of
00:16:24.980 global issue
00:16:25.640 let's just look
00:16:26.700 at British Columbia
00:16:27.400 let's just look
00:16:28.520 to our friends
00:16:29.020 in the west
00:16:29.440 and you'll see
00:16:29.900 that the carbon tax
00:16:30.880 is doing a whole lot
00:16:32.480 to bite our wallets
00:16:33.680 but really not much else
00:16:34.980 I mean BC
00:16:35.580 has the highest
00:16:36.660 but we're still
00:16:39.420 seeing emissions
00:16:40.660 going up
00:16:41.480 in Canada
00:16:42.560 we make up
00:16:43.340 about 1.6%
00:16:44.680 of global emissions
00:16:45.800 so making it
00:16:47.520 cost more money
00:16:48.640 for Grandpa Joe
00:16:50.060 and Grandma Jane
00:16:51.100 to heat their homes
00:16:52.020 isn't going to solve
00:16:53.160 this global issue
00:16:54.000 yeah that's important
00:16:56.940 and I'm going to be
00:16:57.420 talking later on
00:16:58.260 in the show
00:16:58.740 about the Tech
00:16:59.640 Frontier decision
00:17:00.660 and some of the
00:17:01.560 pipeline issues
00:17:02.820 we've had
00:17:03.420 but I think
00:17:03.940 all of these
00:17:04.620 really reiterate
00:17:06.220 an important
00:17:07.080 commonality
00:17:07.900 which is that
00:17:08.500 there's never been
00:17:09.600 a greater significance
00:17:10.620 on a country
00:17:11.260 being open
00:17:11.920 for business
00:17:12.500 and you can't do that
00:17:13.660 if you're taxing
00:17:14.960 your industries
00:17:15.640 into oblivion
00:17:16.500 which really is
00:17:17.160 where the carbon tax
00:17:18.120 tends to go
00:17:18.880 your industry
00:17:20.260 into oblivion
00:17:21.080 or regulating
00:17:22.200 your industry
00:17:22.940 to oblivion
00:17:23.700 I think we've seen
00:17:24.620 a common trend
00:17:26.120 right now
00:17:26.580 and it's that
00:17:27.040 we're making
00:17:28.400 life harder
00:17:29.220 for Canadian families
00:17:30.500 and for Canadian
00:17:31.420 businesses
00:17:32.060 but that doesn't mean
00:17:33.200 that we're helping
00:17:33.820 any type of
00:17:34.640 global environment
00:17:35.600 I mean
00:17:35.980 you know
00:17:36.580 we just heard
00:17:37.400 that tech
00:17:37.880 is withdrawing
00:17:39.400 from that major
00:17:40.180 20 billion dollar project
00:17:41.660 and that follows
00:17:42.440 a serious trend
00:17:43.380 we've already seen
00:17:44.860 because of
00:17:45.340 regulatory issues
00:17:46.240 political issues
00:17:47.280 legal issues
00:17:48.400 we've seen
00:17:48.980 the erosion
00:17:50.140 of what we could
00:17:50.900 have had
00:17:51.180 100 billion dollars
00:17:52.480 worth of
00:17:53.380 resource projects
00:17:54.980 being developed
00:17:55.560 in Canada
00:17:56.120 and you know
00:17:56.840 we just heard
00:17:57.760 about the tech thing
00:17:58.640 but recently
00:17:59.800 we've also heard
00:18:00.760 about Saudi Arabia
00:18:01.840 going forward
00:18:02.820 with you know
00:18:03.780 over 100 billion dollars
00:18:05.260 worth of investment
00:18:06.140 in developing
00:18:07.000 natural gas
00:18:08.220 or in Russia
00:18:09.360 they're talking
00:18:10.280 about over
00:18:11.420 150 billion dollar
00:18:12.980 investment
00:18:13.460 for what they're
00:18:14.440 touting as
00:18:15.140 you know
00:18:15.380 the biggest
00:18:15.960 investment
00:18:17.800 in global oil
00:18:19.320 so as Canada
00:18:20.520 continues to
00:18:21.140 shoot ourselves
00:18:21.660 in the front
00:18:22.200 we're seeing
00:18:23.100 other global players
00:18:24.600 back energy development
00:18:26.500 do you know
00:18:28.720 what happens
00:18:29.480 next in Alberta
00:18:30.940 specifically
00:18:31.620 does the carbon tax
00:18:32.780 become no longer
00:18:33.920 in force in Alberta
00:18:34.820 or does this still
00:18:35.580 have to go towards
00:18:36.400 the Supreme Court
00:18:37.220 to have something
00:18:38.180 that really binds
00:18:39.060 the federal government
00:18:40.240 well you know
00:18:41.020 there are question
00:18:42.440 marks on that front
00:18:43.920 and I think
00:18:44.840 we're just going
00:18:45.220 to have to wait
00:18:45.940 and see
00:18:46.300 because the Supreme
00:18:47.180 Court is hearing
00:18:47.960 the challenges
00:18:48.460 from Ontario
00:18:49.180 and Saskatchewan
00:18:50.100 in March
00:18:50.620 it looks
00:18:51.920 you know
00:18:52.300 so there are
00:18:52.860 question marks
00:18:53.520 but it looks
00:18:53.920 like that one
00:18:54.480 will be for
00:18:55.220 maybe not all
00:18:56.440 the marbles
00:18:56.900 but for a lot
00:18:57.720 of the marbles
00:18:58.220 all right
00:19:00.040 well we'll certainly
00:19:00.540 keep our eyes
00:19:01.100 peeled on that
00:19:01.640 thanks for your
00:19:02.120 work on this
00:19:02.840 Franco Terrazano
00:19:03.940 Alberta Director
00:19:04.960 for the Canadian
00:19:05.740 Taxpayers Federation
00:19:06.760 and good to have you
00:19:07.520 on the show
00:19:07.860 as well sir
00:19:08.380 hey thanks
00:19:08.960 for having me
00:19:09.300 on Andrew
00:19:09.620 thanks again
00:19:10.600 to Franco
00:19:11.500 so that's actually
00:19:12.780 I think a very
00:19:13.600 important thing
00:19:14.480 we ended on there
00:19:15.580 which is the
00:19:16.200 uncertainty about
00:19:17.200 where this goes
00:19:17.860 in the future
00:19:18.380 and I've had a few
00:19:19.000 questions about this
00:19:20.000 and I've talked
00:19:20.880 to a couple of lawyers
00:19:21.820 because not being
00:19:22.580 one myself
00:19:23.100 I try to avoid
00:19:24.040 giving legal advice
00:19:25.020 and it sounds
00:19:26.240 like there actually
00:19:27.040 is not a certainty
00:19:28.660 as to whether
00:19:29.680 or not this
00:19:30.640 becomes binding
00:19:32.400 immediately
00:19:33.480 so the Alberta
00:19:34.580 government can go
00:19:35.480 to I think
00:19:36.480 it's the Court
00:19:36.940 of Queen's Bench
00:19:37.660 but another court
00:19:38.400 to basically
00:19:39.160 certify the judgment
00:19:41.060 I've been told
00:19:41.820 and this could
00:19:43.280 pull the federal
00:19:44.380 carbon tax
00:19:45.040 out of Alberta
00:19:45.640 but again
00:19:46.720 the other problem
00:19:47.500 is that the Alberta
00:19:48.420 case is not
00:19:49.420 technically part
00:19:50.540 of the appeal
00:19:51.760 that's scheduled
00:19:52.660 for the Ontario
00:19:53.520 and Saskatchewan
00:19:54.400 cases before
00:19:55.580 the Supreme Court
00:19:56.400 so could the Supreme
00:19:57.260 Court delay that
00:19:58.820 and add Alberta
00:19:59.660 in could it set
00:20:01.160 a separate date
00:20:02.000 for Alberta
00:20:02.560 it seems ridiculous
00:20:03.440 when the arguments
00:20:04.220 are effectively
00:20:04.880 the same
00:20:05.400 but ultimately
00:20:06.400 this is not just
00:20:07.160 going to be
00:20:07.520 an Alberta
00:20:07.960 specific solution
00:20:09.000 this is either
00:20:09.600 going to be
00:20:10.120 a national
00:20:10.740 victory
00:20:11.600 or a national
00:20:13.740 loss
00:20:14.740 as far as
00:20:15.500 whether the
00:20:15.920 carbon tax
00:20:16.540 is constitutional
00:20:17.360 we know
00:20:18.820 that the federal
00:20:19.700 government
00:20:20.120 is not backing
00:20:20.880 down on
00:20:21.480 political grounds
00:20:22.380 so the only
00:20:23.300 real option
00:20:24.060 is to get
00:20:24.780 the Supreme Court
00:20:25.540 to say no
00:20:26.080 you cannot impose
00:20:27.340 this on provinces
00:20:28.300 now this will
00:20:29.400 not mean
00:20:29.940 I want to make
00:20:30.660 a point here
00:20:31.120 this will not mean
00:20:31.840 that provinces
00:20:32.460 can't impose
00:20:33.340 it themselves
00:20:34.100 British Columbia
00:20:35.240 is all for
00:20:35.880 a carbon tax
00:20:36.680 Manitoba
00:20:37.600 in many respects
00:20:38.360 is all for
00:20:38.920 a carbon tax
00:20:39.640 several of the
00:20:40.540 Atlantic provinces
00:20:41.400 are but it means
00:20:42.700 that for provinces
00:20:43.460 that do care
00:20:44.620 about not taxing
00:20:46.360 people like in
00:20:47.060 Ontario
00:20:47.520 Alberta
00:20:48.020 and Saskatchewan
00:20:48.960 they will not
00:20:50.260 be forced to
00:20:51.280 buy the federal
00:20:52.420 government
00:20:53.000 and that's so
00:20:53.760 key here
00:20:54.320 when we come back
00:20:55.400 we'll talk about
00:20:56.080 the closed for
00:20:56.940 business ruling
00:20:58.220 that we can put
00:20:59.240 on Canada
00:20:59.980 now that the
00:21:00.580 Tech Frontier
00:21:01.260 decision
00:21:01.680 has come down
00:21:02.760 that's coming up
00:21:03.420 on the Andrew
00:21:04.020 Lawton Show
00:21:04.540 in just a moment
00:21:05.180 stay tuned
00:21:05.880 you're tuned
00:21:08.800 in to the
00:21:09.440 Andrew Lawton
00:21:10.280 Show
00:21:10.680 welcome back
00:21:14.740 to the Andrew
00:21:15.660 Lawton Show
00:21:16.260 here on True
00:21:17.000 North
00:21:17.220 great to have
00:21:17.780 you tuned
00:21:18.320 into the
00:21:18.700 program
00:21:19.180 it brings me
00:21:20.740 no pleasure
00:21:21.980 to reach
00:21:23.280 the conclusion
00:21:24.020 that Canada
00:21:24.720 is closed
00:21:25.460 for business
00:21:26.080 we've been
00:21:26.580 talking the
00:21:27.520 last couple
00:21:28.020 of weeks
00:21:28.360 about these
00:21:28.860 rail blockades
00:21:29.820 the impact
00:21:30.440 they're having
00:21:31.040 on the Canadian
00:21:32.120 economy
00:21:32.660 even after
00:21:33.680 the government
00:21:34.180 finally decided
00:21:35.360 it was going
00:21:35.980 to shut
00:21:37.020 them down
00:21:37.640 it was too
00:21:38.720 little too
00:21:39.200 late in many
00:21:39.820 respects
00:21:40.280 because they've
00:21:41.280 already proven
00:21:41.960 that these
00:21:42.800 protesters don't
00:21:43.760 care about
00:21:44.740 the law
00:21:45.320 they don't
00:21:45.700 care about
00:21:46.080 the rule
00:21:46.480 of law
00:21:46.900 and there
00:21:47.720 was even
00:21:48.060 an op-ed
00:21:48.820 in I can't
00:21:49.320 remember what
00:21:49.660 newspaper it
00:21:50.280 was saying
00:21:50.780 stop using
00:21:51.800 the rule
00:21:52.260 of law
00:21:52.800 to oppress
00:21:53.660 indigenous
00:21:54.080 people
00:21:54.580 or something
00:21:55.060 like that
00:21:55.660 so they're
00:21:56.520 actively saying
00:21:57.620 that the rule
00:21:58.160 of law
00:21:58.600 is not
00:21:59.040 something
00:21:59.380 they legitimize
00:22:00.320 referring to
00:22:01.240 the protesters
00:22:01.940 not to
00:22:02.480 indigenous
00:22:02.840 people
00:22:03.280 I want
00:22:03.600 to make
00:22:03.820 that point
00:22:04.260 very clear
00:22:04.860 but you look
00:22:06.500 at the impact
00:22:07.240 of this
00:22:07.680 the protests
00:22:08.500 were not
00:22:09.360 just about
00:22:10.360 the coastal
00:22:11.260 gas link
00:22:11.980 pipeline
00:22:12.480 they were
00:22:13.000 about something
00:22:13.820 far more
00:22:14.420 fundamental
00:22:15.040 than that
00:22:15.640 and that
00:22:16.520 was the
00:22:17.100 idea
00:22:17.640 that all
00:22:18.780 energy
00:22:19.160 projects
00:22:19.720 all infrastructure
00:22:20.540 projects
00:22:21.220 should be
00:22:22.260 kibosh
00:22:23.080 that's what
00:22:23.500 these protesters
00:22:24.140 want
00:22:24.580 it's not
00:22:24.920 just this
00:22:25.380 one
00:22:25.660 it's every
00:22:26.600 single
00:22:27.060 pipeline
00:22:27.680 project
00:22:28.280 oil sector
00:22:29.040 project
00:22:29.620 mining
00:22:30.000 project
00:22:30.540 fracking
00:22:31.000 all of that
00:22:31.920 they don't
00:22:32.300 like any
00:22:32.820 of them
00:22:33.140 whatsoever
00:22:33.600 and this
00:22:35.680 goes hand
00:22:36.580 in hand
00:22:36.980 with the
00:22:37.340 decision
00:22:37.680 by tech
00:22:38.480 to withdraw
00:22:39.520 from the
00:22:40.760 frontier oil
00:22:41.600 sands project
00:22:42.560 tech resources
00:22:43.420 which has
00:22:44.200 had a fair
00:22:45.020 bit of
00:22:45.300 uncertainty
00:22:45.760 around this
00:22:46.440 project
00:22:46.860 for quite
00:22:47.300 a while
00:22:47.680 made the
00:22:48.460 decision
00:22:48.820 this week
00:22:49.360 in a letter
00:22:49.820 to the
00:22:50.420 government
00:22:50.760 it's
00:22:51.380 withdrawing
00:22:52.160 its
00:22:52.420 application
00:22:53.200 for
00:22:53.940 regulatory
00:22:54.480 approval
00:22:55.200 for this
00:22:55.760 project
00:22:56.300 in northern
00:22:56.920 Alberta
00:22:57.480 and they
00:22:59.200 don't use
00:23:00.020 the words
00:23:00.640 political
00:23:01.180 unrest
00:23:01.800 or political
00:23:02.400 instability
00:23:02.880 in the
00:23:04.060 letter
00:23:04.360 but they
00:23:04.760 do talk
00:23:05.380 about
00:23:05.640 uncertainty
00:23:06.420 they talk
00:23:07.600 about the
00:23:08.160 fact that
00:23:08.620 well they
00:23:08.940 don't shy
00:23:09.400 away from
00:23:09.840 controversy
00:23:10.460 necessarily
00:23:11.220 they think
00:23:12.060 there needs
00:23:12.380 to be a
00:23:12.780 dialogue
00:23:13.220 and a
00:23:13.620 conversation
00:23:14.280 and all
00:23:14.680 of that
00:23:15.060 they say
00:23:15.880 the growing
00:23:16.620 debate around
00:23:17.380 this issue
00:23:17.880 has placed
00:23:18.420 Frontier
00:23:19.080 and our
00:23:19.400 company
00:23:19.820 squarely
00:23:20.840 at the
00:23:21.160 nexus
00:23:21.500 of much
00:23:22.080 broader
00:23:22.500 issues
00:23:22.960 that need
00:23:23.700 to be
00:23:23.980 resolved
00:23:24.460 in that
00:23:25.380 context
00:23:25.980 it is now
00:23:26.580 evident
00:23:26.880 that there
00:23:27.240 is no
00:23:27.640 constructive
00:23:28.180 path
00:23:28.560 forward
00:23:28.980 for the
00:23:29.680 project
00:23:30.240 questions
00:23:31.560 about the
00:23:32.120 societal
00:23:32.520 implications
00:23:33.200 of energy
00:23:34.120 development
00:23:34.660 climate
00:23:35.280 change
00:23:35.780 and indigenous
00:23:36.520 rights
00:23:37.000 are critically
00:23:37.640 important ones
00:23:38.440 for Canada
00:23:38.980 its provinces
00:23:39.740 and indigenous
00:23:40.720 governments
00:23:41.300 to work
00:23:41.900 through
00:23:42.140 so what
00:23:42.860 tech is
00:23:43.280 saying there
00:23:43.760 if you read
00:23:44.160 between the
00:23:44.580 lines
00:23:44.960 is that
00:23:45.540 we think
00:23:46.200 there's far
00:23:46.740 too much
00:23:47.320 of a
00:23:47.680 political
00:23:48.120 dimension
00:23:48.740 to what
00:23:49.240 was supposed
00:23:49.720 to be
00:23:50.320 an economic
00:23:51.200 project
00:23:51.700 what was
00:23:52.060 supposed to
00:23:52.540 be an
00:23:52.780 energy
00:23:53.060 project
00:23:53.500 so they're
00:23:54.140 backing
00:23:54.500 away
00:23:54.940 now
00:23:55.720 you'd
00:23:56.120 think
00:23:56.440 that
00:23:56.660 if
00:23:56.900 a
00:23:57.060 company
00:23:57.440 were
00:23:57.740 to
00:23:58.020 withdraw
00:23:58.540 billions
00:23:59.140 of
00:23:59.440 dollars
00:23:59.800 from
00:24:00.040 the
00:24:00.180 Canadian
00:24:00.500 economy
00:24:01.060 the
00:24:01.600 government
00:24:02.040 would be
00:24:02.540 clamoring
00:24:03.200 for it
00:24:03.680 the government
00:24:04.120 would be
00:24:04.440 saying
00:24:04.620 wait wait wait
00:24:05.140 no no no
00:24:05.500 we can do
00:24:06.380 better
00:24:06.600 we'll fix
00:24:07.040 this
00:24:07.240 we'll fix
00:24:07.660 this
00:24:07.980 but no
00:24:08.720 the government
00:24:09.420 actually thanked
00:24:10.640 tech
00:24:11.140 tech for
00:24:11.500 doing it
00:24:12.080 when tech
00:24:13.380 withdrew
00:24:13.920 this
00:24:14.320 kissing
00:24:15.360 away
00:24:15.900 Canadian
00:24:16.880 jobs
00:24:17.420 billions
00:24:17.780 of dollars
00:24:18.320 of investment
00:24:19.360 the federal
00:24:20.840 government
00:24:21.380 said
00:24:22.040 quote
00:24:22.420 we have
00:24:23.120 been
00:24:23.260 informed
00:24:23.760 by
00:24:24.080 tech
00:24:24.380 resources
00:24:24.920 limited
00:24:25.320 that they
00:24:25.700 have
00:24:25.880 withdrawn
00:24:26.420 their
00:24:26.780 regulatory
00:24:27.260 application
00:24:28.120 for the
00:24:28.500 proposed
00:24:28.980 frontier
00:24:29.820 oil sands
00:24:30.400 project
00:24:30.880 in northern
00:24:31.400 Alberta
00:24:31.840 we
00:24:32.580 appreciate
00:24:33.280 that
00:24:33.660 tech
00:24:34.000 has
00:24:34.240 made
00:24:34.640 a
00:24:34.940 difficult
00:24:35.420 decision
00:24:36.100 we
00:24:37.400 also
00:24:37.720 recognize
00:24:38.280 tech's
00:24:38.640 leading
00:24:38.860 class
00:24:39.240 consultation
00:24:39.700 work
00:24:40.200 on this
00:24:40.500 project
00:24:40.920 yada
00:24:41.220 yada
00:24:41.440 yada
00:24:41.760 there's
00:24:42.460 no doubt
00:24:42.940 that fighting
00:24:43.460 climate change
00:24:44.120 is a global
00:24:44.620 challenge
00:24:45.160 to meet
00:24:45.720 this challenge
00:24:46.300 here in
00:24:46.720 Canada
00:24:47.080 and internationally
00:24:47.920 we need
00:24:48.380 to work
00:24:48.760 together
00:24:49.200 across
00:24:49.780 jurisdictions
00:24:50.500 and in
00:24:51.340 partnership
00:24:51.780 with the
00:24:52.440 industry
00:24:52.940 Canada
00:24:53.660 has the
00:24:54.120 innovative
00:24:54.440 spirit
00:24:55.020 talent
00:24:55.600 and know
00:24:56.120 how
00:24:56.340 to lead
00:24:56.840 the world
00:24:57.320 with the
00:24:58.000 most
00:24:58.260 environmentally
00:24:59.040 and socially
00:24:59.880 responsible
00:25:00.620 resources
00:25:01.440 there's
00:25:02.160 more to
00:25:02.680 it
00:25:02.820 but that's
00:25:03.340 a joint
00:25:03.880 statement
00:25:04.320 by
00:25:04.740 environment
00:25:05.340 minister
00:25:05.880 Jonathan
00:25:06.340 Wilkinson
00:25:07.000 and
00:25:07.680 Seamus
00:25:08.140 O'Regan
00:25:08.700 who's the
00:25:09.220 natural
00:25:09.620 resource
00:25:10.120 minister
00:25:10.720 and my
00:25:11.960 goodness
00:25:12.260 what's
00:25:12.900 happening
00:25:13.260 here is
00:25:13.920 a company
00:25:14.780 decides it
00:25:15.500 no longer
00:25:16.060 wants to do
00:25:16.680 business in
00:25:17.220 Canada
00:25:17.620 ergo
00:25:18.360 Canada
00:25:18.780 is closed
00:25:19.420 for business
00:25:20.080 and what
00:25:21.080 happens
00:25:21.580 the federal
00:25:22.640 government
00:25:23.220 basically
00:25:23.840 thanks them
00:25:24.820 there's no
00:25:25.640 well we're
00:25:26.180 disappointed
00:25:26.740 by the
00:25:27.220 decision
00:25:27.600 we understand
00:25:28.260 they're saying
00:25:28.780 yeah we
00:25:29.260 appreciate it
00:25:29.960 you guys
00:25:31.620 pulled out
00:25:32.180 so we don't
00:25:32.860 need to say
00:25:33.340 no which
00:25:33.860 we were
00:25:34.180 probably going
00:25:35.080 to do
00:25:35.460 anyway
00:25:35.880 the federal
00:25:36.680 government
00:25:37.220 got out
00:25:37.860 of having
00:25:38.340 to kiss
00:25:39.000 away
00:25:39.360 jobs
00:25:40.060 itself
00:25:40.740 because
00:25:41.100 the company
00:25:41.620 decided
00:25:42.120 you know
00:25:42.420 what
00:25:42.600 Canada
00:25:42.960 is not
00:25:43.380 exactly
00:25:43.780 a place
00:25:44.260 that we
00:25:44.860 can imagine
00:25:45.440 doing business
00:25:46.340 right now
00:25:46.860 and this is
00:25:48.440 so important
00:25:49.140 remember what
00:25:49.840 government was
00:25:50.520 prepared to do
00:25:51.300 to protect
00:25:51.800 SNC-Lavalin
00:25:52.660 jobs
00:25:53.140 remember what
00:25:54.040 government's
00:25:54.520 been prepared
00:25:55.060 to do
00:25:55.440 whenever
00:25:55.720 Quebec jobs
00:25:56.700 have been
00:25:56.940 on the line
00:25:57.540 or jobs
00:25:58.600 in various
00:25:59.420 sectors
00:25:59.940 that the
00:26:00.700 liberal cronies
00:26:01.580 are connected
00:26:02.100 with
00:26:02.360 they will
00:26:02.740 bend
00:26:03.120 over
00:26:03.500 backwards
00:26:04.060 but when
00:26:04.820 there's
00:26:05.040 oil sector
00:26:05.620 jobs
00:26:06.100 energy sector
00:26:06.820 jobs
00:26:07.280 a private
00:26:08.100 company
00:26:08.540 that's willing
00:26:09.100 to put
00:26:09.440 money down
00:26:10.140 to create
00:26:11.020 employment
00:26:11.520 and to also
00:26:12.440 contribute to
00:26:13.300 Canada's
00:26:14.020 energy
00:26:14.380 independence
00:26:14.920 what does
00:26:15.680 the federal
00:26:16.040 government
00:26:16.400 do
00:26:16.680 oh well
00:26:17.280 you know
00:26:17.980 they dither
00:26:19.700 around
00:26:20.260 until
00:26:21.160 eventually
00:26:21.740 this happens
00:26:22.560 so the
00:26:24.060 last few
00:26:24.620 weeks is
00:26:25.120 not just
00:26:26.080 about
00:26:26.580 the
00:26:27.340 coastal
00:26:27.900 gas link
00:26:28.520 pipeline
00:26:28.980 it's not
00:26:29.380 just about
00:26:30.000 the blockades
00:26:30.960 in Belleville
00:26:31.680 the blockades
00:26:32.500 in Vancouver
00:26:33.580 the blockades
00:26:34.580 in existing
00:26:35.720 territories
00:26:36.440 across the
00:26:37.440 country
00:26:37.760 where these
00:26:38.460 protesters
00:26:39.060 have set
00:26:39.540 up shop
00:26:40.000 it is
00:26:40.700 now about
00:26:41.300 every
00:26:41.780 energy
00:26:42.220 project
00:26:42.780 imaginable
00:26:43.480 because
00:26:44.060 the
00:26:44.420 government's
00:26:45.020 inaction
00:26:45.560 on this
00:26:46.040 I'm
00:26:46.760 convinced
00:26:47.260 it's
00:26:47.940 not just
00:26:48.500 about
00:26:48.740 the
00:26:48.920 protests
00:26:49.500 it's
00:26:50.240 about
00:26:50.440 the
00:26:50.640 government's
00:26:51.220 capitulation
00:26:52.060 to the
00:26:52.580 protesters
00:26:53.180 which is
00:26:54.040 effectively
00:26:54.600 what's
00:26:54.980 been
00:26:55.140 happening
00:26:55.580 for the
00:26:56.100 last
00:26:56.500 I mean
00:26:57.280 three
00:26:57.580 weeks
00:26:57.900 or so
00:26:58.320 so
00:26:59.760 by the
00:27:00.400 government
00:27:00.760 not
00:27:01.200 taking
00:27:01.620 that
00:27:01.900 seriously
00:27:02.580 any
00:27:03.340 company
00:27:03.820 that
00:27:04.060 knows
00:27:04.460 it
00:27:04.760 may
00:27:05.000 have
00:27:05.320 a
00:27:05.500 similar
00:27:05.780 situation
00:27:06.440 on its
00:27:06.840 hands
00:27:07.200 is
00:27:07.820 not
00:27:08.160 going
00:27:08.480 to
00:27:08.720 go
00:27:09.020 down
00:27:09.320 that
00:27:09.560 road
00:27:09.820 and
00:27:10.000 enter
00:27:10.300 into
00:27:10.600 a
00:27:10.840 contract
00:27:11.340 with
00:27:11.720 Canada
00:27:12.120 basically
00:27:12.700 you know
00:27:13.460 one of
00:27:13.720 the
00:27:13.840 things
00:27:14.120 that
00:27:14.440 they
00:27:14.880 say
00:27:15.220 in
00:27:15.540 their
00:27:15.880 press
00:27:16.280 release
00:27:16.660 the
00:27:16.940 tech
00:27:17.260 executives
00:27:17.760 is
00:27:18.340 that
00:27:18.500 they're
00:27:18.720 prepared
00:27:19.060 to
00:27:19.320 write
00:27:19.680 down
00:27:20.200 the
00:27:20.700 1.13
00:27:21.900 billion
00:27:22.320 dollar
00:27:22.640 carrying
00:27:23.120 value
00:27:23.700 of the
00:27:24.220 Frontier
00:27:24.680 project
00:27:25.120 so
00:27:25.640 they're
00:27:25.840 posting
00:27:26.200 a
00:27:26.380 1.13
00:27:27.080 billion
00:27:27.420 loss
00:27:28.340 right
00:27:28.620 there
00:27:28.960 because
00:27:29.660 they're
00:27:30.160 now
00:27:30.740 backing
00:27:31.340 away
00:27:31.780 from
00:27:32.380 Canada
00:27:32.800 they're
00:27:34.140 backing
00:27:34.480 away
00:27:34.720 from
00:27:34.940 Canada
00:27:35.280 and
00:27:35.780 if
00:27:35.900 you
00:27:36.000 look
00:27:36.160 at
00:27:36.240 the
00:27:36.420 volume
00:27:36.860 of
00:27:37.220 companies
00:27:37.780 that
00:27:38.360 have
00:27:38.560 decided
00:27:39.100 they
00:27:39.400 want
00:27:39.700 to
00:27:39.880 either
00:27:40.100 pull
00:27:40.380 out
00:27:40.540 of
00:27:40.680 Canada
00:27:41.000 altogether
00:27:41.540 or
00:27:42.280 companies
00:27:42.760 that
00:27:43.040 want
00:27:43.380 to
00:27:43.820 or
00:27:44.460 feel
00:27:44.840 they
00:27:45.060 have
00:27:45.420 to
00:27:45.800 relocate
00:27:46.800 from
00:27:47.020 Canada
00:27:47.500 since
00:27:48.280 Justin
00:27:48.800 Trudeau
00:27:49.360 took
00:27:49.740 office
00:27:50.240 it
00:27:50.860 is
00:27:51.040 not
00:27:51.360 an
00:27:51.580 insignificant
00:27:52.320 group
00:27:52.880 it's
00:27:53.120 not
00:27:53.280 at all
00:27:54.020 an
00:27:54.180 insignificant
00:27:54.640 group
00:27:55.040 you've
00:27:55.260 got
00:27:55.400 Encana
00:27:55.860 Kinder
00:27:56.480 Morgan
00:27:56.840 Houston
00:27:57.260 Oil
00:27:57.500 and
00:27:57.660 Gas
00:27:57.960 Conoco
00:27:58.440 Philips
00:27:58.920 Statoil
00:27:59.560 Shell
00:27:59.880 all
00:28:00.540 companies
00:28:01.000 that
00:28:01.220 in
00:28:01.360 some
00:28:01.740 way
00:28:01.980 or
00:28:02.140 another
00:28:02.400 have
00:28:02.660 divested
00:28:03.280 from
00:28:03.540 Canada
00:28:03.980 either
00:28:04.540 in
00:28:04.760 part
00:28:05.000 or
00:28:05.240 in
00:28:05.400 whole
00:28:05.700 I
00:28:06.200 mean
00:28:06.320 Encana
00:28:06.780 was
00:28:07.020 the
00:28:07.160 big
00:28:07.400 one
00:28:07.640 this
00:28:07.840 was
00:28:08.080 at
00:28:08.320 one
00:28:08.580 point
00:28:08.820 the
00:28:09.000 quintessential
00:28:09.700 Canadian
00:28:10.580 energy
00:28:11.060 success
00:28:11.540 story
00:28:12.140 and
00:28:12.760 now
00:28:13.040 it
00:28:13.300 is
00:28:13.520 Ovintiv
00:28:14.140 domiciled
00:28:14.840 in
00:28:15.020 the
00:28:15.140 US
00:28:15.440 headquartered
00:28:16.100 in
00:28:16.180 the
00:28:16.320 US
00:28:16.680 basically
00:28:17.660 writing
00:28:18.440 off
00:28:18.960 the
00:28:19.400 idea
00:28:19.780 that
00:28:20.040 Canada
00:28:20.400 can
00:28:20.680 be
00:28:20.840 a
00:28:20.980 home
00:28:21.220 that
00:28:21.400 Canada
00:28:21.700 can
00:28:21.940 be
00:28:22.080 a
00:28:22.200 place
00:28:22.480 that
00:28:23.000 invests
00:28:23.840 and
00:28:24.000 invites
00:28:24.420 capital
00:28:24.960 so
00:28:26.260 I'm
00:28:26.960 very
00:28:27.480 annoyed
00:28:28.360 with
00:28:28.780 this
00:28:29.000 because
00:28:29.280 these
00:28:29.640 are
00:28:29.800 entirely
00:28:30.480 preventable
00:28:31.240 problems
00:28:31.880 right now
00:28:32.400 that the
00:28:32.960 government
00:28:33.220 is not
00:28:33.560 just
00:28:33.760 allowing
00:28:34.160 to
00:28:34.400 happen
00:28:34.720 but
00:28:34.920 I
00:28:35.060 would
00:28:35.200 actually
00:28:35.480 say
00:28:35.760 inviting
00:28:36.380 to
00:28:36.660 happen
00:28:37.080 all
00:28:37.840 because
00:28:38.100 we've
00:28:38.400 decided
00:28:38.760 to
00:28:38.980 give
00:28:39.160 a
00:28:39.320 vocal
00:28:39.720 minority
00:28:40.400 a
00:28:40.960 de facto
00:28:41.480 veto
00:28:41.940 and
00:28:42.820 when
00:28:43.000 the
00:28:43.180 government
00:28:43.460 finally
00:28:43.860 does
00:28:44.160 decide
00:28:44.520 oh
00:28:44.700 you
00:28:44.840 know
00:28:44.940 what
00:28:45.080 we're
00:28:45.260 going
00:28:45.380 to
00:28:45.420 get
00:28:45.560 involved
00:28:45.920 in
00:28:46.120 this
00:28:46.280 it
00:28:46.680 becomes
00:28:47.100 too
00:28:47.340 little
00:28:47.560 too
00:28:51.940 the
00:28:52.460 conservative
00:28:53.080 party's
00:28:53.880 response
00:28:54.420 to
00:28:54.820 Justin
00:28:55.520 Trudeau's
00:28:55.920 handling
00:28:56.240 of
00:28:56.460 this
00:28:56.600 they
00:28:56.740 said
00:28:56.920 it's
00:28:57.060 a
00:28:57.160 weak
00:28:57.360 response
00:28:57.960 Justin
00:28:58.580 Trudeau
00:28:58.900 said
00:28:59.100 oh
00:28:59.260 no
00:28:59.360 no
00:28:59.480 no
00:28:59.500 you
00:28:59.720 don't
00:28:59.900 get
00:29:00.040 to
00:29:00.160 talk
00:29:00.440 now
00:29:00.620 you
00:29:00.760 don't
00:29:00.920 get
00:29:01.040 to
00:29:01.180 join
00:29:01.380 our
00:29:01.540 little
00:29:01.720 meeting
00:29:02.080 we
00:29:02.540 called
00:29:02.800 him
00:29:02.920 the
00:29:03.040 mean
00:29:03.200 girls
00:29:03.460 prime
00:29:03.760 minister
00:29:04.040 we
00:29:04.240 had
00:29:04.400 a
00:29:04.500 graphic
00:29:04.880 to
00:29:05.120 go
00:29:05.300 along
00:29:05.560 with
00:29:05.760 it
00:29:05.860 which
00:29:06.000 people
00:29:06.320 seem
00:29:06.880 to
00:29:07.040 like
00:29:07.320 but
00:29:08.360 I
00:29:08.460 find
00:29:08.680 it
00:29:08.800 fascinating
00:29:09.340 that
00:29:09.620 on
00:29:10.320 Wednesday
00:29:10.960 of
00:29:11.180 last
00:29:11.480 week
00:29:11.740 or
00:29:21.940 Trudeau
00:29:22.220 finally
00:29:22.700 wakes
00:29:23.580 up
00:29:23.800 to
00:29:23.940 that
00:29:24.140 same
00:29:24.520 conclusion
00:29:25.080 it's
00:29:25.800 the
00:29:25.940 right
00:29:26.160 path
00:29:26.580 it's
00:29:26.780 what
00:29:26.940 true
00:29:27.200 leadership
00:29:27.600 is
00:29:28.040 so
00:29:28.760 the
00:29:29.440 idea
00:29:29.820 is
00:29:30.060 only
00:29:30.280 a
00:29:30.440 good
00:29:30.560 idea
00:29:30.820 when
00:29:31.040 Justin
00:29:31.360 Trudeau
00:29:31.700 comes
00:29:32.020 up
00:29:32.220 with
00:29:32.400 it
00:29:32.580 but
00:29:33.120 again
00:29:33.440 I
00:29:33.600 said
00:29:33.880 last
00:29:34.200 week
00:29:34.440 and
00:29:34.600 I
00:29:34.720 hate
00:29:34.900 to
00:29:35.040 say
00:29:35.180 I
00:29:35.320 told
00:29:35.580 you
00:29:35.720 so
00:29:35.920 when
00:29:38.240 I'm
00:29:38.420 talking
00:29:38.960 to
00:29:39.140 the
00:29:39.300 liberals
00:29:39.580 they
00:29:40.340 had
00:29:41.380 no
00:29:41.660 option
00:29:42.060 it
00:29:42.220 was
00:29:42.360 always
00:29:42.800 going
00:29:43.100 to
00:29:43.280 go
00:29:43.480 this
00:29:43.740 road
00:29:44.220 which
00:29:44.740 is
00:29:44.900 why
00:29:45.180 they
00:29:45.380 needed
00:29:45.680 to
00:29:45.860 go
00:29:46.020 down
00:29:46.240 this
00:29:46.500 road
00:29:46.780 further
00:29:47.320 and
00:29:48.180 do
00:29:48.380 it
00:29:48.540 earlier
00:29:49.040 instead
00:29:49.620 of
00:29:49.860 waiting
00:29:50.200 until
00:29:50.640 they've
00:29:50.940 already
00:29:51.300 squandered
00:29:52.600 any
00:29:52.940 hope
00:29:53.280 of a
00:29:53.720 quick
00:29:54.240 resolution
00:29:55.160 to
00:29:55.440 this
00:29:55.720 so
00:29:56.920 look
00:29:57.460 I
00:29:57.700 think
00:29:57.960 there's
00:29:58.220 going
00:29:58.520 to
00:29:58.740 be
00:29:58.980 a
00:29:59.260 lot
00:29:59.520 more
00:30:00.060 of
00:30:00.920 a
00:30:01.120 problem
00:30:01.700 that
00:30:02.040 develops
00:30:02.880 here
00:30:03.240 because
00:30:04.440 Justin
00:30:04.900 Trudeau
00:30:05.200 has
00:30:05.380 showed
00:30:05.600 that
00:30:05.760 he
00:30:05.880 doesn't
00:30:06.260 actually
00:30:06.740 want
00:30:07.120 to
00:30:07.300 do
00:30:07.460 what's
00:30:07.760 necessary
00:30:08.440 to
00:30:09.020 end
00:30:09.280 these
00:30:09.540 things
00:30:09.880 and
00:30:10.740 I
00:30:10.880 think
00:30:11.100 that
00:30:11.260 the
00:30:11.460 longer
00:30:11.840 term
00:30:12.180 implications
00:30:12.800 on
00:30:13.140 business
00:30:13.580 on
00:30:13.800 industry
00:30:14.200 on
00:30:15.860 that
00:30:16.140 statement
00:30:16.680 from
00:30:17.020 Seamus
00:30:17.400 O'Regan
00:30:17.860 and
00:30:18.040 Jonathan
00:30:18.360 Wilkinson
00:30:18.920 we
00:30:19.400 appreciate
00:30:20.000 that
00:30:20.240 tech
00:30:20.520 has
00:30:20.720 made
00:30:21.100 a
00:30:21.680 difficult
00:30:22.240 decision
00:30:23.060 as a
00:30:23.800 result
00:30:24.120 cabinet
00:30:24.600 will
00:30:24.840 no
00:30:25.020 longer
00:30:25.340 be
00:30:25.520 making
00:30:25.840 a
00:30:26.040 decision
00:30:26.380 on
00:30:26.580 the
00:30:26.680 project
00:30:27.080 so
00:30:27.240 they're
00:30:27.380 saying
00:30:27.680 yeah
00:30:28.080 we
00:30:28.260 like
00:30:28.740 that
00:30:28.900 they've
00:30:29.200 done
00:30:29.380 this
00:30:29.680 so
00:30:30.120 we
00:30:30.340 don't
00:30:30.540 have
00:30:30.800 to
00:30:31.000 nowhere
00:30:32.360 in
00:30:32.800 this
00:30:33.120 is
00:30:33.840 disappointment
00:30:34.460 expressed
00:30:35.080 nowhere
00:30:35.480 in
00:30:35.920 this
00:30:36.180 is
00:30:36.760 there
00:30:37.040 a
00:30:37.300 belief
00:30:37.740 avowed
00:30:39.140 that
00:30:39.440 the
00:30:39.560 Canadian
00:30:39.860 government
00:30:40.300 wanted
00:30:40.740 this
00:30:41.000 project
00:30:41.400 in
00:30:41.600 the
00:30:41.720 first
00:30:41.940 place
00:30:42.200 any
00:30:42.640 other
00:30:42.880 time
00:30:43.180 a
00:30:43.320 company
00:30:43.620 has
00:30:43.840 closed
00:30:44.260 down
00:30:44.620 or
00:30:44.760 a
00:30:44.900 factory
00:30:45.260 has
00:30:45.500 shut
00:30:45.700 down
00:30:45.980 the
00:30:46.480 government
00:30:46.800 will
00:30:47.060 always
00:30:47.420 do
00:30:47.740 the
00:30:48.160 same
00:30:48.420 thing
00:30:48.660 they'll
00:30:48.840 send
00:30:49.040 out
00:30:49.140 a
00:30:49.280 statement
00:30:49.580 saying
00:30:49.960 we're
00:30:50.420 really
00:30:50.660 disappointed
00:30:51.200 we
00:30:51.500 want
00:30:51.760 to
00:30:51.860 work
00:30:52.060 to
00:30:52.260 fix
00:30:52.500 this
00:30:52.740 we
00:30:52.900 hope
00:30:53.360 that
00:30:53.560 we
00:30:53.700 could
00:30:53.860 fix
00:30:54.140 this
00:30:54.340 we
00:30:54.480 hope
00:30:54.720 that
00:30:54.860 we
00:30:55.000 could
00:30:55.140 save
00:30:55.360 the
00:30:55.500 jobs
00:30:55.760 there's
00:30:56.280 none
00:30:56.600 of
00:30:56.740 that
00:30:56.960 here
00:30:57.200 the
00:30:57.900 liberals
00:30:58.320 genuinely
00:30:59.220 don't
00:30:59.840 care
00:31:00.280 about
00:31:00.760 energy
00:31:01.340 sector
00:31:02.000 jobs
00:31:02.680 in
00:31:03.140 fact
00:31:03.300 the
00:31:03.460 liberal
00:31:03.700 it's
00:31:03.940 not
00:31:04.080 just
00:31:04.240 about
00:31:04.420 the
00:31:04.580 jobs
00:31:04.980 they
00:31:05.540 don't
00:31:05.840 actually
00:31:06.200 care
00:31:06.600 about
00:31:06.860 the
00:31:07.040 energy
00:31:07.360 sector
00:31:07.880 and
00:31:08.760 if
00:31:08.920 they
00:31:09.120 do
00:31:09.400 have
00:31:09.680 any
00:31:09.860 emotional
00:31:10.320 investment
00:31:10.860 to
00:31:11.160 it
00:31:11.280 it
00:31:11.680 is
00:31:11.820 a
00:31:12.000 negative
00:31:12.360 one
00:31:12.760 in
00:31:13.240 fact
00:31:13.420 indifference
00:31:14.020 might
00:31:14.340 actually
00:31:14.760 be
00:31:14.980 a
00:31:15.120 bit
00:31:15.220 of
00:31:15.320 a
00:31:15.460 step
00:31:15.700 up
00:31:15.920 from
00:31:16.360 where
00:31:16.580 the
00:31:16.780 government
00:31:17.100 is
00:31:17.400 on
00:31:17.600 this
00:31:17.800 right
00:31:18.080 now
00:31:18.440 it's
00:31:19.640 absolutely
00:31:20.280 insane
00:31:21.180 to
00:31:21.420 me
00:31:21.680 that
00:31:22.500 we
00:31:22.720 have
00:31:23.120 the
00:31:23.620 country's
00:31:24.460 largest
00:31:25.060 energy
00:31:26.760 sector
00:31:27.580 sorry
00:31:27.880 the largest
00:31:28.340 sector
00:31:28.780 in
00:31:29.000 Canada
00:31:29.760 being
00:31:30.120 energy
00:31:30.580 and
00:31:31.520 the
00:31:31.720 government
00:31:33.940 to
00:31:34.160 care
00:31:34.460 and
00:31:34.640 doesn't
00:31:34.960 want
00:31:35.280 it
00:31:35.400 to
00:31:35.620 succeed
00:31:36.100 and
00:31:36.640 in
00:31:36.820 many
00:31:37.060 cases
00:31:37.460 like
00:31:37.700 now
00:31:37.940 looks
00:31:38.200 like
00:31:38.400 it
00:31:38.520 actively
00:31:38.880 wants
00:31:39.340 it
00:31:39.460 to
00:31:39.640 fail
00:31:39.960 we
00:31:41.660 have
00:31:42.040 to
00:31:42.260 as
00:31:42.480 a
00:31:42.640 country
00:31:43.160 stand
00:31:44.500 up
00:31:44.760 against
00:31:45.120 this
00:31:45.560 we
00:31:46.160 do
00:31:46.360 because
00:31:46.920 eventually
00:31:47.380 it's
00:31:47.680 going
00:31:47.840 to
00:31:48.000 be
00:31:48.100 a
00:31:48.240 lot
00:31:48.440 more
00:31:48.680 businesses
00:31:49.100 that
00:31:49.360 are
00:31:49.460 making
00:31:49.700 the
00:31:49.900 decision
00:31:50.220 that
00:31:50.420 tech
00:31:50.660 did
00:31:50.900 which
00:31:51.360 is
00:31:51.500 to
00:31:51.640 say
00:31:51.840 that
00:31:52.000 it's
00:31:52.200 not
00:31:52.460 even
00:31:52.760 worth
00:31:53.060 trying
00:31:53.660 it's
00:31:54.640 not
00:31:54.880 even
00:31:55.100 worth
00:31:55.360 trying
00:31:55.820 to
00:31:56.000 do
00:31:56.160 stuff
00:31:56.400 in
00:31:56.560 Canada
00:31:56.880 it's
00:31:57.180 not
00:31:57.380 even
00:31:57.600 worth
00:31:57.940 it
00:31:58.140 to
00:31:58.520 have
00:31:58.780 this
00:31:59.020 dialogue
00:31:59.480 we
00:32:00.080 don't
00:32:00.300 even
00:32:00.480 want
00:32:00.780 to
00:32:00.960 engage
00:32:01.440 in
00:32:01.680 the
00:32:01.820 process
00:32:02.240 because
00:32:02.540 we
00:32:02.760 know
00:32:03.020 that
00:32:03.480 it's
00:32:03.660 going
00:32:03.860 to
00:32:04.020 be
00:32:04.180 secondary
00:32:04.600 to
00:32:04.880 this
00:32:05.080 broader

00:32:51.600 on the
00:32:52.180 weekend
00:32:52.540 in
00:32:53.080 Miami
00:32:53.620 I
00:32:53.840 was
00:32:53.960 there
00:32:54.140 for
00:32:54.380 a
00:32:54.680 little
00:32:54.840 seminar
00:32:55.280 conference
00:32:55.960 sort
00:32:56.200 of
00:32:56.300 thing

00:32:56.840 lot
00:32:56.940 of
00:32:57.060 fun
00:32:57.240 and
00:32:57.860 I
00:32:58.000 had
00:32:58.240 a
00:32:58.420 bit
00:32:58.580 of
00:32:58.700 downtime
00:32:59.120 on
00:33:00.180 the
00:33:00.520 Saturday
00:33:00.880 morning
00:33:01.400 that
00:33:01.600 I
00:33:01.720 was
00:33:01.860 there
00:33:02.060 so I
00:33:02.380 decided
00:33:02.700 I
00:33:02.900 would
00:33:03.020 go
00:33:03.280 because
00:33:03.780 I've
00:33:03.960 been
00:33:04.080 told
00:33:04.420 that
00:33:04.760 Miami
00:33:05.300 is
00:33:05.820 one
00:33:06.120 of
00:33:06.240 the
00:33:06.340 greatest
00:33:06.680 bagel
00:33:07.220 places
00:33:07.780 in
00:33:08.300 the
00:33:08.580 United
00:33:08.840 States
00:33:09.220 now
00:33:09.920 I
00:33:10.240 don't
00:33:10.440 want
00:33:10.580 to
00:33:10.660 insult
00:33:10.960 the
00:33:11.160 New
00:33:11.300 Yorkers
00:33:11.880 or
00:33:12.260 Montrealers
00:33:13.120 listening
00:33:13.460 I
00:33:13.680 realize
00:33:14.000 you
00:33:14.200 guys
00:33:14.400 have
00:33:14.560 great
00:33:14.760 bagels
00:33:15.120 as
00:33:15.320 well
00:33:15.460 I
00:33:15.860 think
00:33:16.040 it's
00:33:16.200 people
00:33:16.500 from
00:33:16.880 Toronto
00:33:17.420 Montreal
00:33:17.880 and
00:33:18.100 New
00:33:18.240 York
00:33:18.440 who've
00:33:18.740 retired
00:33:19.180 to
00:33:19.780 Miami
00:33:20.180 that
00:33:20.440 have
00:33:20.580 set
00:33:20.740 up
00:33:20.900 shop
00:33:21.320 there
00:33:21.580 so
00:33:22.200 I
00:33:22.420 decided
00:33:22.800 okay
00:33:23.100 I'm
00:33:23.340 going
00:33:23.440 to
00:33:23.500 go
00:33:23.680 and
00:33:23.880 find
00:33:24.160 one
00:33:24.380 and
00:33:25.380 Miami
00:33:25.780 if
00:33:26.020 you've
00:33:26.160 never
00:33:26.340 been
00:33:26.540 there
00:33:26.740 has
00:33:27.000 a
00:33:27.180 very
00:33:27.480 sizable
00:33:28.180 Jewish
00:33:28.520 population
00:33:29.140 again
00:33:29.540 retirees
00:33:30.380 I
00:33:30.520 think
00:33:30.700 and
00:33:31.540 as
00:33:32.160 a
00:33:32.280 result
00:33:32.640 it
00:33:32.960 was
00:33:33.420 Shabbat
00:33:34.240 on
00:33:34.820 Saturday
00:33:35.160 morning
00:33:35.500 and
00:33:35.940 I
00:33:36.080 knew
00:33:36.320 this
00:33:36.740 but
00:33:37.260 I
00:33:37.420 didn't
00:33:37.780 really
00:33:38.020 make
00:33:38.340 the
00:33:38.580 connection
00:33:39.040 of
00:33:39.480 all
00:33:39.800 the
00:33:45.860 secular
00:33:46.980 owned
00:33:47.420 bagel
00:33:47.800 place
00:33:48.140 I
00:33:48.360 was
00:33:48.540 wrong
00:33:48.860 because
00:33:49.420 I
00:33:49.540 went
00:33:49.660 to
00:33:49.720 the
00:33:49.840 hotel
00:33:50.100 and
00:33:50.340 I
00:33:50.440 said
00:33:50.600 where's
00:33:50.820 the
00:33:50.940 best
00:33:51.120 bagel
00:33:51.480 and
00:33:52.600 without
00:33:52.840 hesitation
00:33:53.380 she
00:33:53.620 told me
00:33:53.940 the
00:33:54.060 name
00:33:54.200 of
00:33:54.300 this
00:33:54.420 place
00:33:54.700 and
00:33:54.860 I
00:33:54.960 said
00:33:55.100 okay
00:33:55.340 where
00:33:55.580 is
00:33:55.760 it
00:33:55.920 she
00:33:56.340 said
00:33:56.480 well
00:33:56.780 it's
00:33:57.000 you
00:33:57.060 know
00:33:57.140 it's
00:33:57.260 a
00:33:57.320 little
00:33:57.440 bit
00:33:57.600 far
00:33:58.020 you
00:33:58.820 could
00:33:58.980 walk
00:33:59.280 there
00:33:59.520 but
00:33:59.680 it's
00:33:59.840 going
00:33:59.940 to
00:34:00.020 take
00:34:00.340 you
00:34:00.480 about
00:34:00.700 half
00:34:01.300 an
00:34:01.440 hour
00:34:01.600 and
00:34:01.740 I
00:34:01.800 said
00:34:01.940 you
00:34:02.040 know
00:34:02.160 what
00:34:02.380 for
00:34:02.980 a
00:34:03.080 bagel
00:34:03.560 I
00:34:03.680 can
00:34:03.800 walk
00:34:04.040 half
00:34:04.260 an
00:34:04.380 hour
00:34:04.580 if
00:34:04.980 you've
00:34:05.140 seen
00:34:05.320 me
00:34:05.460 you
00:34:05.580 know
00:34:05.720 that
00:34:05.860 I
00:34:05.960 could
00:34:06.080 stand
00:34:06.340 to
00:34:06.480 walk
00:34:06.700 a
00:34:06.820 little
00:34:06.960 bit
00:34:07.100 more
00:34:07.300 anyway
00:34:07.640 so
00:34:08.260 I
00:34:08.420 go
00:34:08.580 there
00:34:08.860 and
00:34:09.520 as
00:34:10.080 I'm
00:34:10.300 passing
00:34:10.800 by
00:34:11.180 all
00:34:11.460 of
00:34:11.580 these
00:34:11.740 Orthodox
00:34:12.060 Jews
00:34:12.440 that
00:34:12.640 are
00:34:12.740 on
00:34:12.880 their
00:34:13.000 way
00:34:13.180 to
00:34:13.360 synagogue
00:34:13.700 it
00:34:14.260 still
00:34:14.540 doesn't
00:34:15.160 really
00:34:15.640 meet
00:34:17.340 my
00:34:17.620 mind
00:34:18.120 that
00:34:18.360 I'm
00:34:18.520 not
00:34:18.760 going
00:34:19.020 to
00:34:19.160 be
00:34:19.300 able
00:34:19.500 to
00:34:19.820 fulfill
00:34:20.540 the
00:34:20.800 quest
00:34:21.160 that
00:34:21.360 I
00:34:21.540 set
00:34:21.940 out
00:34:22.120 to
00:34:22.240 do
00:34:22.440 and
00:34:22.660 of
00:34:23.400 course
00:34:23.580 I
00:34:23.720 get
00:34:23.860 to
00:34:23.960 the
00:34:24.060 bagel
00:34:24.340 place
00:34:24.640 it's
00:34:24.800 closed
00:34:25.180 for
00:34:25.500 Shabbat
00:34:25.880 there's
00:34:26.080 nothing
00:34:26.320 around
00:34:26.680 and
00:34:26.860 I
00:34:26.980 end
00:34:27.120 up
00:34:27.240 walking
00:34:27.500 back
00:34:27.760 to
00:34:27.880 the
00:34:27.980 hotel
00:34:28.260 thankfully
00:34:29.020 I
00:34:29.380 found
00:34:29.820 a
00:34:30.360 patisserie
00:34:30.920 that
00:34:31.900 I
00:34:32.160 would
00:34:32.360 settle
00:34:32.700 for
00:34:32.980 they
00:34:33.140 didn't
00:34:33.320 have
00:34:33.480 bagels
00:34:33.820 but
00:34:33.980 they
00:34:34.100 had
00:34:34.260 coffee
00:34:34.640 and
00:34:34.780 they
00:34:34.900 had
00:34:35.060 little
00:34:35.340 French
00:34:35.960 pastries
00:34:36.420 so
00:34:36.660 when
00:34:37.300 you
00:34:37.380 go
00:34:37.480 to
00:34:37.580 Miami
00:34:37.920 you
00:34:38.340 have
00:34:38.520 to
00:34:38.600 be
00:34:38.700 very
00:34:38.920 careful
00:34:39.340 about
00:34:39.940 the
00:34:40.260 operating
00:34:40.940 hours
00:34:41.340 of
00:34:41.520 places
00:34:41.860 but
00:34:43.140 I
00:34:43.240 did
00:34:43.360 want
00:34:43.480 to
00:34:43.580 share
00:34:43.800 something
00:34:44.200 more
00:34:44.500 serious
00:34:45.000 from
00:34:45.260 this
00:34:45.440 because
00:34:45.660 I
00:34:45.860 passed
00:34:46.280 by
00:34:46.580 I
00:34:47.060 think
00:34:47.240 a
00:34:47.380 couple
00:34:47.580 of
00:34:47.740 synagogues
00:34:48.380 but
00:34:48.600 one
00:34:48.920 in
00:34:49.060 particular
00:34:49.500 stood
00:34:49.900 out
00:34:50.100 because
00:34:50.380 there
00:34:50.580 was
00:34:50.740 a
00:34:50.960 police
00:34:51.300 car
00:34:51.660 parked
00:34:52.400 out
00:34:52.620 front
00:34:53.000 of
00:34:53.580 the
00:34:53.760 synagogue
00:34:54.080 in
00:34:54.400 Miami
00:34:54.720 and
00:34:56.180 I
00:34:56.900 didn't
00:34:57.100 really
00:34:57.300 think
00:34:57.620 anything
00:34:57.900 of it
00:34:58.240 on the
00:34:58.440 way
00:34:58.620 to
00:34:58.880 the
00:34:59.040 bagel
00:34:59.320 place
00:34:59.660 because
00:34:59.900 I
00:35:00.060 just
00:35:00.220 thought
00:35:00.420 it
00:35:00.520 was
00:35:00.680 a
00:35:00.940 police
00:35:01.240 officer
00:35:01.620 parked
00:35:02.020 randomly
00:35:02.580 on
00:35:02.800 the
00:35:02.920 street
00:35:03.140 I
00:35:03.300 didn't
00:35:03.480 make
00:35:03.720 the
00:35:04.240 connection
00:35:04.620 of
00:35:04.840 where
00:35:05.000 he
00:35:05.160 was
00:35:05.460 and
00:35:06.040 on
00:35:06.140 the
00:35:06.240 way
00:35:06.420 back
00:35:06.860 I
00:35:07.100 actually
00:35:07.520 peered
00:35:07.940 into
00:35:08.400 the
00:35:08.700 synagogue
00:35:09.040 and
00:35:09.440 in
00:35:09.560 the
00:35:09.680 main
00:35:09.960 doors
00:35:10.420 I
00:35:11.160 saw
00:35:11.520 that
00:35:11.740 that
00:35:11.940 police
00:35:12.280 officer
00:35:12.700 was
00:35:12.960 actually
00:35:13.540 checking
00:35:14.860 the
00:35:15.160 people
00:35:15.460 that
00:35:15.660 were
00:35:15.840 on
00:35:16.060 their
00:35:16.240 way
00:35:16.500 in
00:35:16.840 and
00:35:17.680 had
00:35:18.100 a
00:35:18.460 list
00:35:19.580 of
00:35:19.760 some
00:35:20.000 kind
00:35:20.320 that
00:35:20.480 he
00:35:20.560 was
00:35:20.720 checking
00:35:21.000 names
00:35:21.400 off
00:35:21.700 of
00:35:21.920 and
00:35:22.200 people
00:35:22.480 were
00:35:22.680 having
00:35:22.920 their
00:35:23.120 bags
00:35:23.400 checked
00:35:23.700 and
00:35:24.480 you
00:35:24.740 know
00:35:24.840 everyone
00:35:25.100 likes
00:35:25.400 to
00:35:25.580 talk
00:35:25.820 about
00:35:25.980 American
00:35:26.400 gun
00:35:26.740 culture
00:35:27.240 but
00:35:27.440 there's
00:35:27.680 something
00:35:28.000 far
00:35:28.400 more
00:35:28.640 problematic
00:35:29.340 about
00:35:30.500 this
00:35:30.960 and
00:35:31.120 this
00:35:31.460 is
00:35:31.640 a
00:35:31.960 culture
00:35:32.380 of
00:35:32.600 anti
00:35:32.900 semitism
00:35:33.720 where
00:35:34.900 you
00:35:35.800 as a
00:35:36.240 Jewish
00:35:36.480 person
00:35:36.960 going
00:35:37.220 to
00:35:37.420 synagogue
00:35:37.760 have
00:35:38.160 this
00:35:38.360 expectation
00:35:39.120 that
00:35:39.820 something
00:35:40.240 bad
00:35:40.640 could
00:35:40.840 happen
00:35:41.220 there
00:35:41.540 more
00:35:42.340 than
00:35:42.540 I've
00:35:42.780 ever
00:35:42.960 had
00:35:43.320 in
00:35:43.500 a
00:35:43.660 church
00:35:43.920 more
00:35:44.180 than
00:35:44.400 the
00:35:44.720 people
00:35:45.060 that
00:35:45.200 I
00:35:45.320 know
00:35:45.480 in
00:35:45.620 the
00:35:45.760 US
00:35:46.080 even
00:35:46.320 in
00:35:46.600 states
00:35:47.060 that
00:35:47.280 have
00:35:47.540 a
00:35:48.000 very
00:35:48.180 sizable
00:35:48.640 gun
00:35:48.860 ownership
00:35:49.200 have
00:35:50.400 when
00:35:50.580 they
00:35:50.720 go
00:35:50.860 to
00:35:51.020 church
00:35:51.260 and
00:35:51.900 we've
00:35:52.480 all
00:35:52.740 seen
00:35:53.460 the
00:35:53.680 stories
00:35:54.120 of
00:35:54.380 why
00:35:54.820 this
00:35:55.060 is
00:35:55.200 the
00:35:55.380 case
00:35:55.740 I
00:35:55.920 mean
00:36:01.120 struck
00:36:01.500 me
00:36:01.840 was
00:36:02.220 how
00:36:02.720 dangerous
00:36:03.840 it
00:36:04.140 is
00:36:04.360 when
00:36:04.580 this
00:36:04.960 reality
00:36:06.140 becomes
00:36:06.660 the
00:36:06.860 new
00:36:07.020 normal
00:36:07.420 when
00:36:08.360 this
00:36:08.560 becomes
00:36:08.940 the
00:36:09.120 new
00:36:09.240 normal
00:36:09.540 when
00:36:09.740 a
00:36:09.860 young
00:36:10.060 person
00:36:10.480 who
00:36:10.700 goes
00:36:10.980 to
00:36:11.120 that
00:36:11.300 synagogue
00:36:11.660 doesn't
00:36:12.640 think
00:36:12.860 twice
00:36:13.280 about
00:36:13.580 it
00:36:13.720 because
00:36:13.920 that's
00:36:14.320 all
00:36:14.460 they
00:36:14.660 know
00:36:15.000 a
00:36:15.680 world
00:36:16.000 of
00:36:16.240 fear
00:36:16.500 and
00:36:17.100 my
00:36:17.320 goodness
00:36:17.640 my
00:36:18.180 sincerest
00:36:19.780 prayers
00:36:20.280 to
00:36:20.860 the
00:36:21.160 Jewish
00:36:21.440 communities
00:36:22.000 that
00:36:22.200 have
00:36:22.400 to
00:36:22.540 face
00:36:22.800 this
00:36:22.980 I
00:36:23.120 can't
00:36:23.460 even
00:36:23.600 imagine
00:36:24.020 what
00:36:24.700 it's
00:36:24.900 like
00:36:25.180 to
00:36:25.360 live
00:36:25.580 with
00:36:25.780 that
00:36:26.000 fear
00:36:26.360 all
00:36:26.980 because
00:36:27.280 of
00:36:27.760 the
00:36:27.920 pervasiveness
00:36:28.520 of
00:36:29.000 Jew
00:36:29.260 hatred
00:36:29.600 and
00:36:29.800 I
00:36:29.900 don't
00:36:30.040 have
00:36:30.240 an
00:36:30.340 answer
00:36:30.620 to
00:36:30.900 it
00:36:31.060 I
00:36:31.520 don't
00:36:31.720 have
00:36:31.960 a
00:36:32.100 resolution
00:36:32.460 I
00:36:32.860 guess
00:36:33.220 the
00:36:33.380 only
00:36:33.540 reason
00:36:33.840 I
00:36:34.020 wanted
00:36:34.180 to
00:36:34.360 share
00:36:34.540 that
00:36:34.760 story
00:36:35.180 is
00:36:35.380 because
00:36:35.720 it
00:36:36.240 was
00:36:36.420 an
00:36:36.560 eye-opening
00:36:36.960 experience
00:36:37.660 for me
00:36:38.020 to
00:36:38.200 see
00:36:38.520 not
00:36:39.320 in
00:36:39.660 the
00:36:39.980 wake
00:36:40.480 of
00:36:40.820 headlines
00:36:41.420 of
00:36:41.700 tragedies
00:36:42.260 that
00:36:42.400 have
00:36:42.520 happened
00:36:42.880 but
00:36:43.460 to
00:36:43.620 see
00:36:43.800 the
00:36:44.000 implication
00:36:44.600 and
00:36:44.940 by
00:36:45.140 extension
00:36:45.500 the
00:36:45.700 fear
00:36:46.000 because
00:36:46.320 something
00:36:46.700 like
00:36:46.980 that
00:36:47.140 comes
00:36:47.400 from
00:36:47.560 a
00:36:47.680 place
00:36:47.920 of
00:36:48.080 fear
00:36:57.280 North
00:36:57.560 America
00:36:58.000 and
00:36:58.840 just
00:36:59.220 how
00:36:59.420 sorry
00:36:59.780 I
00:37:00.000 am
00:37:00.160 to
00:37:00.280 the
00:37:00.400 Jewish
00:37:00.600 people
00:37:00.940 and
00:37:01.080 I
00:37:01.160 know
00:37:01.260 a lot
00:37:01.520 of
00:37:01.620 them
00:37:01.800 tune
00:37:02.460 into
00:37:02.640 the
00:37:02.820 show
00:37:03.060 that
00:37:03.340 that
00:37:03.520 is
00:37:03.700 what
00:37:03.960 you
00:37:04.260 have
00:37:04.460 to
00:37:04.580 contend
00:37:04.920 with
00:37:05.120 so
00:37:05.320 my
00:37:05.960 thoughts
00:37:06.280 and
00:37:06.420 prayers
00:37:06.680 with
00:37:06.900 anyone
00:37:07.220 that
00:37:07.580 has
00:37:07.780 to
00:37:07.920 do
00:37:08.060 that
00:37:08.360 and
00:37:08.800 certainly
00:37:09.440 hope
00:37:09.960 for
00:37:10.220 a
00:37:10.720 future
00:37:11.000 where
00:37:11.180 that's
00:37:11.400 no
00:37:11.540 longer
00:37:11.860 needed
00:37:12.200 when
00:37:12.820 we
00:37:12.940 come
00:37:13.080 back
00:37:13.320 we'll
00:37:13.500 wrap
00:37:13.700 things
00:37:13.940 up
00:37:14.120 here
00:37:14.280 on
00:37:14.560 the
00:37:14.680 Andrew
00:37:14.900 Lawton
00:37:15.160 show
00:37:15.420 on
00:37:15.820 True
00:37:15.980 North
00:37:16.300 You're
00:37:27.280 We
00:37:29.200 are
00:37:29.540 back
00:37:30.020 and
00:37:30.260 you
00:37:30.400 know
00:37:30.540 what
00:37:30.740 perfect
00:37:31.060 time
00:37:31.480 to
00:37:31.840 talk
00:37:32.240 about
00:37:32.460 a
00:37:32.620 double
00:37:32.900 standard
00:37:33.440 in
00:37:33.840 the
00:37:34.000 mainstream
00:37:34.440 media
00:37:34.960 one
00:37:35.660 of
00:37:35.900 several
00:37:36.360 I
00:37:36.580 think
00:37:36.740 we
00:37:36.900 can
00:37:37.080 safely
00:37:37.520 say
00:37:37.880 this
00:37:38.440 one
00:37:38.680 took
00:37:38.920 place
00:37:39.280 last
00:37:39.680 weekend
00:37:40.200 at
00:37:40.540 the
00:37:40.740 PC
00:37:41.060 Party
00:37:41.400 of
00:37:41.540 Ontario's
00:37:42.260 convention
00:37:42.760 in
00:37:43.300 I
00:37:43.440 think
00:37:43.560 Niagara
00:37:43.900 Falls
00:37:44.280 when
00:37:45.180 the
00:37:45.480 media
00:37:45.820 was
00:37:46.480 barred
00:37:47.000 from
00:37:47.380 attending
00:37:47.960 because
00:37:48.540 it
00:37:49.100 was
00:37:49.280 a
00:37:49.420 convention
00:37:49.780 about
00:37:50.080 policy
00:37:50.560 they
00:37:50.760 wanted
00:37:50.940 to
00:37:51.120 keep
00:37:51.320 it
00:37:51.420 in
00:37:51.520 the
00:37:51.660 family
00:37:52.040 as
00:37:52.740 the
00:37:52.900 convention
00:37:53.280 spokesperson
00:37:53.980 said
00:37:54.540 but
00:37:55.740 CBC
00:37:56.220 of
00:37:56.560 course
00:37:56.780 still
00:37:57.280 going
00:37:57.440 to
00:37:57.520 cover
00:37:57.740 it
00:37:57.900 from
00:37:58.060 the
00:37:58.200 perimeter
00:37:58.580 Mike
00:37:59.000 Crawley
00:37:59.660 who's
00:37:59.940 the
00:38:00.140 CBC
00:38:00.500 Queens
00:38:00.900 Park
00:38:01.180 guy
00:38:01.440 was
00:38:02.080 outside
00:38:02.600 of
00:38:02.840 the
00:38:02.960 venue
00:38:03.260 and
00:38:03.480 he
00:38:03.580 was
00:38:03.740 doing
00:38:03.960 his
00:38:04.200 stand-up
00:38:04.920 and
00:38:05.600 not
00:38:05.760 his
00:38:05.900 comedy
00:38:06.200 routine
00:38:06.560 that's
00:38:06.800 what
00:38:06.880 you
00:38:06.980 call
00:38:07.200 it
00:38:07.280 when
00:38:07.380 you

00:40:11.460 for
00:40:12.000 the
00:40:12.140 party
00:40:12.520 had
00:40:12.900 or

00:40:13.560 of
00:40:13.760 the

00:40:18.060 security
00:40:18.540 company

00:40:19.640 to
00:40:19.760 throw
00:40:19.880 the
00:40:20.020 PC
00:40:20.300 party
00:40:20.660 under
00:40:20.880 the
00:40:21.020 bus
00:40:21.240 but
00:40:21.400 the
00:40:21.520 PC
00:40:21.800 said
00:40:22.200 no
00:40:22.380 no
00:40:22.480 no
00:40:22.560 we

00:40:23.200 them
00:40:23.320 to
00:40:23.460 stop
00:40:23.720 people
00:40:24.080 outside
00:40:24.860 we
00:40:25.300 just
00:40:25.500 told
00:40:25.740 them
00:40:25.920 that
00:40:26.220 media
00:40:26.760 are
00:40:26.960 not
00:40:27.180 permitted
00:40:27.520 inside

00:40:28.920 I'm
00:40:29.320 on
00:40:29.580 team
00:40:30.040 Crawley
00:40:30.520 here
00:40:30.740 I
00:40:30.900 think
00:40:31.280 that
00:40:31.440 if
00:40:31.560 you're
00:40:31.740 going
00:40:31.860 to
00:40:31.900 be
00:40:32.040 covering
00:40:32.360 an
00:40:32.600 event
00:40:32.880 from
00:40:33.440 outside
00:40:33.920 the
00:40:34.120 building
00:40:34.400 you
00:40:34.640 can
00:40:34.840 do
00:40:44.820 legal
00:40:45.340 rights
00:40:46.040 to
00:40:46.520 deny
00:40:47.040 media
00:40:47.580 access
00:40:48.080 they
00:40:48.480 should
00:40:48.920 not
00:40:49.280 do
00:40:49.580 it
00:40:49.840 they
00:40:50.520 should
00:40:50.920 allow
00:40:51.280 media
00:40:51.660 in
00:40:51.980 I'm
00:40:52.520 a
00:40:52.680 firm
00:40:52.880 believer
00:40:53.240 in
00:40:53.500 that
00:40:53.700 but
00:40:54.800 this
00:40:55.020 is
00:40:55.160 all
00:40:55.340 too
00:40:55.520 familiar
00:40:55.880 for
00:40:56.120 me
00:40:56.260 because
00:40:56.560 during
00:40:56.920 the
00:40:57.140 last
00:40:57.380 federal
00:40:57.660 election
00:40:58.040 campaign
00:40:58.460 I
00:40:59.000 was
00:40:59.200 relegated
00:40:59.720 to
00:40:59.920 cover
00:41:00.160 every

00:41:02.000 from
00:41:02.580 the
00:41:02.820 sidewalk
00:41:03.220 I
00:41:03.560 was
00:41:03.800 forced
00:41:05.240 to
00:41:05.480 because
00:41:05.740 the
00:41:05.960 liberals
00:41:06.200 were
00:41:06.400 not
00:41:06.580 letting
00:41:06.780 me
00:41:06.920 cover
00:41:07.160 their
00:41:07.380 events
00:41:07.660 they
00:41:08.120 weren't
00:41:08.340 letting
00:41:08.540 me
00:41:08.680 on
00:41:08.820 the
00:41:08.960 liberal
00:41:09.200 plane
00:41:09.580 they
00:41:09.780 weren't
00:41:10.020 letting
00:41:10.240 me
00:41:10.440 do
00:41:10.640 my
00:41:10.980 job
00:41:11.520 so
00:41:11.960 I
00:41:12.160 was
00:41:12.340 forced
00:41:12.600 to
00:41:12.760 cover
00:41:12.940 from
00:41:13.160 sidewalks
00:41:13.800 and
00:41:14.080 thankfully
00:41:14.460 I
00:41:14.680 was
00:41:14.840 never
00:41:15.060 removed
00:41:15.500 from
00:41:15.760 a
00:41:15.920 sidewalk
00:41:16.340 I
00:41:16.620 was

00:41:59.600 it
00:41:59.840 was

00:42:01.900 completely
00:42:02.440 silent

00:42:04.820 been
00:42:05.040 that
00:42:05.280 way

00:42:28.340 moved
00:42:28.820 in
00:42:29.040 that
00:42:29.260 moment
00:42:29.620 that

00:42:37.640 but
00:42:38.400 that
00:42:38.700 didn't
00:42:39.060 happen
00:42:39.460 during

00:42:42.260 with
00:42:42.860 a few
00:42:43.160 exceptions
00:42:43.680 the
00:42:43.980 few
00:42:44.140 people
