The rest of the world is getting over punishing the working poor while claiming to change the weather. While the rich fly in private jets and nations like China bring online a new energy project seemingly every week, can Canada join them? In recent polling from Abacus, climate change is no longer even a pocketbook issue for Canadian voters. This represents a really stark shift from the drummed up redistributionist, degrowth hysteria of the Trudeau years. And even on a semi-encouraging front, Alberta and the federal government may soon put pen to paper on a pipeline to the BC coast.

Hi, Juno News. Alexander Brown joining you for another episode here of Not Sorry. I'm the
00:00:08.000
director of the National Citizens Coalition. I'm a host. I'm a communicator, a campaigner.
00:00:13.260
While you're here, please take advantage of our promo code at junonews.com slash not sorry for
00:00:18.560
20% off. There's so much great work here on Juno, and I want you to engage with it all. There's
00:00:23.380
terrific talent, terrific journalists. And so the topic today is the rest of the world is getting
00:00:28.780
over punishing the working poor while claiming to change the weather. While the rich fly in private
00:00:33.900
jets and nations like China bring online a new energy project seemingly every week. Can Canada
00:00:40.000
join them? In recent polling from Abacus, climate change is no longer even a pocketbook issue for
00:00:45.860
Canadian voters. This represents a really stark shift from the drummed up redistributionist degrowth
00:00:51.720
hysteria of the Trudeau years. And even on a semi-encouraging front, Alberta and the federal
00:00:57.980
government may soon put pen to paper on a pipeline to the BC coast. And yet all the usual suspects are
00:01:04.880
claiming the world will end if we bring more of our energy to market. The same old hypocritical
00:01:09.780
phonies just met at COP30 at this global climate summit. And the prime minister is still making
00:01:15.240
claims of carbon neutrality for our projects of the future. And when we know our allies and
00:01:20.140
competitors with larger emissions footprints won't be tying their hands behind their backs to appease
00:01:25.300
their friends and partners in the subsidized green lobby. Take a look.
00:01:29.100
But I want to highlight a few other issues before my time is up. First, the importance of high
00:01:34.140
integrity standardized carbon markets that have the potential to shift capital flows to those most
00:01:40.160
affected by climate change, including being integrated with jet peas, such as the jet pea here,
00:01:46.420
changing the incentives and the financial calculations to decarbonize.
00:01:50.960
I'd suggest that we can catalyze enormous private sector demand for these credits by committing AI data
00:01:59.180
center development to be carbon neutral. We need a price on carbon. I salute my neighbor,
00:02:05.820
the European Union, in pricing carbon and putting in place a CBAM.
00:02:10.660
We don't need a price on carbon. We see that that harms our growth, our productivity, and makes life
00:02:16.860
more expensive for struggling Canadians. For every step forward, it can often feel like a step back in
00:02:23.460
this country. Such words, despite some claims that they're changing to the contrary, it signals
00:02:29.240
more of the same indulgence and frustration that we've felt since the Trudeau years. Let's talk to
00:02:36.540
Dan McTeague. He is the executive director of Canadians for Affordable Energy to make sense of
00:02:41.840
these latest developments and first a word from our sponsor. Folks, I want to take a minute to thank
00:02:46.620
today's sponsor, which is Macamie College. So Macamie College has an applied politics and public affair
00:02:52.420
program. It's a two-year evening online program available across Canada. Students have the opportunity
00:02:58.280
to learn to run political campaigns, organize grassroots movements, and push policy in the right
00:03:03.400
direction. Students also have hands-on placements in their community or with the party they believe
00:03:08.700
in. So when they graduate, they have real job-ready experience. Applicants only need a high school
00:03:13.400
diploma or homeschooling equivalent to apply. Intake starts in September and January. And folks,
00:03:19.060
we are very excited to announce that anyone who applies and is successful in enrollment will get a
00:03:26.040
$500 scholarship from Juno News. So apply using our link. It's in the description. You can go to
00:03:31.380
candicemalcolm.com slash Macamie. That's M-A-K-A-M-I. And if you apply through that link and you're
00:03:38.140
successful, you get a $500 Juno News scholarship. You know, I went to the University of Alberta and
00:03:44.240
studied political science. And the thing you realize when you're doing a university degree is that it
00:03:48.560
doesn't lead you to a job. And so for me, after three years of being a political science student, I
00:03:53.820
looked around and realized I had no job skills. I had never worked in politics. Everything was theoretical.
00:03:58.720
It was all in the classroom. And I had to start working on political campaigns just to get my foot
00:04:03.680
in the door. The hard thing about politics is that you need experience to get a job, but jobs require
00:04:09.220
experience. And so doing something like this, I mean, the fact that you can do it online, the fact
00:04:12.840
that you could do it on the evening is really helpful. If you're interested in politics and you're
00:04:16.160
watching the show, I presume you are. This is something that you really might want to consider,
00:04:19.540
or hey, maybe, maybe one of your adult children might be interested in doing something like this.
00:04:24.580
So again, check out this link at canadismalcolm.com slash Macamie College.
00:04:30.040
Dan McTeague joins the show. Dan is the gas price wizard himself, a former Liberal MP and executive
00:04:35.860
director of Canadians for Affordable Energy. He's here to help us make sense of these latest
00:04:41.060
developments coming out of the Global Climate Summit. Dan, thanks for joining us.
00:04:44.200
You know, it's great to be here, Alexander. Thanks for having me today. And yeah, always
00:04:47.860
never a dull moment when you're following the 30 years in which great developments take place out
00:04:54.440
of the COP, going back to my early days when the first Brazil-Rio conference took place. And I thought
00:05:03.440
that was very interesting with some notable Liberals in my time attending that, being a force behind it.
00:05:10.100
And of course, that's all changed now. Yeah, it's all for the worse now. Maybe it started with good
00:05:15.840
intentions, as roads are often paved with. So it just wrapped Friday in Brazil. All the usual
00:05:22.200
degrowth, net zero characters were there. But it's getting harder and harder to deny the devastating
00:05:27.860
impact some of that zealotry has had on our economies. You called out their hypocrisy in a recent video.
00:05:33.800
What do you make of Carney's words coming out of the summit? And do you have any cause for optimism
00:05:38.220
that Canada's stance is changing? Well, I think Canada's stance may be changing as a result of
00:05:43.780
reality, not because what Mr. Carney wants. I mean, they've had to abandon, you know, the carbon tax,
00:05:49.240
consumer carbon tax. Looks like they're going to have to do something on tanker bans and a whole
00:05:53.760
series of other concerns, electric vehicle mandates. All these things are proving to be colossal
00:05:59.540
failures, as was expected, by the way. And none of these things were done with a, you know,
00:06:05.460
with a consideration of reality being given priority consideration as these policies were
00:06:12.240
advanced. But it was all wonderful. I mean, because it was 2015, we could do all these
00:06:16.600
things, but it had a detrimental impact on the bottom line. A real disappointment for those
00:06:21.380
who've invested billions of dollars of public money and to some extent, private sector money
00:06:25.440
as well. But all this has really taken us to a place where I think Canadians have realized,
00:06:30.680
and even reluctantly, Liberals have realized that they've really pushed the envelope to the extent
00:06:37.280
that the country can't function right now. Its decline is on almost every single economic metric.
00:06:44.500
And that will lend itself to disunity in the country and the likes of which we haven't seen
00:06:49.080
certainly since the mid-1990s, or even folks like myself go back far enough, back to 1981-82,
00:06:56.000
when there was real concerns, not just with Quebec, but also a sense of alienation in parts like
00:07:03.720
Alberta, Saskatchewan, even British Columbia. What this has meant is it has been a 10-year
00:07:09.880
experiment in fooling around with woke ideas that have very little bearing on the sustainability of
00:07:18.620
our standard of living and the quality of life that we have in Canada. And it's completely ignored the
00:07:23.280
significant importance of hydrocarbons. Like them or not, they're here. And all those organizations,
00:07:28.240
including the International Energy Agency, the Mark Carney's of this world, who thought they could,
00:07:32.200
you know, get G-Fans, the Glasgow Financial Alliance for net zero to go choke off capital to
00:07:38.920
oil and gas producers in the United States, by the way, they wound up with what could have been a very
00:07:43.500
close antitrust violation, which would have cost Mr. Carney and his friends a lot of money.
00:07:48.940
Nevertheless, what I think has happened here is that someone's taken a dose, a bucket of cold
00:07:55.540
reality water and poured it over everyone's head. And while there's some out there who will simply
00:08:00.600
admit that this thing didn't go well, there's others that will simply say they're going to fight
00:08:05.100
this to the last drop. Unfortunately, Canadians are the ones paying for this and around the world,
00:08:11.940
nations are walking away from this. And those that are walking away from it have a strong GDP
00:08:17.180
productivity number. They're doing very well. They're flourishing. And they still, from time
00:08:21.800
to time, ask Canada for the things that they truly need from Canada. No, not hydrogen and no,
00:08:26.220
not electric vehicles. But in fact, they want our resources. They want our minerals. They want our
00:08:31.420
oil. They want our natural gas. They want our timber and they want our agriculture. It seems to be
00:08:36.460
a cautery around Mark Carney and the liberal cult, which is not the same as when I was there as a liberal
00:08:42.820
for 18 years as an MP that keeps saying no. Why? I don't know. But with a $78 billion deficit added to
00:08:50.840
another $1.3 trillion in debt and a debt to GDP, you know, real number, when you consider the
00:08:59.760
provincial subsovereign debt of about 112%, I think the game is over. And I think for those, you know,
00:09:07.380
like Mark Carney's of this world who go down to these wonderful summits to make this idea that we
00:09:13.060
can do things as it were, you know, the past 10, 15 years are kidding themselves. They're deluding
00:09:18.280
themselves. Reality, I think, is a real motivator of policy these days. I think so, too. And I know
00:09:25.500
Doug Ford drives you crazy also in my work with the National Citizens Coalition, Project Ontario.
00:09:31.620
I see your tweets also when I'm busy angrily tweeting about him, where even he is admitting in his sort of
00:09:37.360
haphazard approach to the tariff situation. It's like, well, Alberta has something that people
00:09:41.540
actually want. It's like, yeah. Is that not an admittance that this EV subsidy boondoggle,
00:09:47.360
that this entire industrial complex has been just complete fugazi, that it's been entirely propped
00:09:55.720
up by the government and it has been this artificial attempt to influence people's consumer habits
00:10:00.520
and nobody actually wants it. Like they want, they want life to be affordable. They care about
00:10:07.480
the environment, but it is no longer. I wish that they were getting here under, under non false
00:10:12.900
pretenses, these changes, because if you look at the latest polling from Abacus, for example,
00:10:17.640
and David Coletto, it's like for the first time in a long time, the environment is not the pocketbook
00:10:23.260
issue. Like the key ones are what you'd expect. It's affordability, it's housing, it's immigration.
00:10:28.460
It way down the list is, you know, taxing the working poor to pretend it changes the weather.
00:10:35.500
It makes no sense. Of course, it's not really environmentalism either. It's all about one
00:10:40.300
particular molecule, which we tend to associate as being somehow lethal to our existence. And it's been
00:10:47.580
this nonsense that we have followed for many, many decades that has now, I think, led us to the point
00:10:53.580
where we realize that this is a very, very wise environmental stewardship. If it were, we wouldn't
00:11:00.540
be using graphites, polymers, you know, extracting with massive acids. You know, I want people to
00:11:06.380
understand something. When you make an EV or you make any of these little electronic products, it's done
00:11:10.540
through mining. Mining is the second most polluting. And I talk real pollution. I'm not talking about
00:11:15.500
CO2, the stuff we emit every day and is inert and we need it for the flourishment of life on this
00:11:22.540
planet. But it is extraordinarily intensive. Forget the fact that maybe in countries like China made
00:11:27.980
with coal, the fact is producing, extracting is extraordinarily difficult, very time consuming,
00:11:34.780
very capital intensive. And of course, the cost and the damage to the environment can't be gainsaid.
00:11:40.380
I mean, it's significant, but ignorance has been prevalent in the minds of many people
00:11:45.260
who thought, oh, I'm going to drive my electric vehicle and pretend that I'm, I'm holding some
00:11:50.380
kind of environmental credibility. You are not, you do not. And frankly, I'm tired of poor people
00:11:55.260
in this country paying for rich people to drive around virtue signaling in their latest rides.
00:11:59.660
At the end of the day, I have some experience in the automotive sector. I work in media relations
00:12:03.020
for a little tiny, tiny company, Toyota Canada. And that company said no to EVs. I mean, it's still,
00:12:08.620
they'll build them because there's a lot of grift going on in there. But their future was in
00:12:12.140
hydrogen, their future was in solid state batteries, if anything, not I lift the ion.
00:12:16.780
And the future is in hybrids. And which is what country companies like that have gone from number
00:12:22.140
five to number one in Canada, staying true and staying focused on what the public wants. And
00:12:27.100
the public is fed up, they're broke, and they're sick of the kind of woke environment, and top down
00:12:33.820
lectures that we're getting from international organizations who at the end of the day, don't
00:12:37.580
have the public interest at heart. They have their own agenda at heart. And that's quite often
00:12:42.220
a real conflict when it comes to the amount of money that they're making by these decisions,
00:12:45.980
especially when they're pursuing and pushing products and ideas that they benefit from almost
00:12:52.220
exclusively. No, it's true. And if you look at the conditions in those mines in Africa, for example,
00:12:57.500
where they get out the damn components for these batteries for the EVs, they're unconscionably bad.
00:13:04.780
Like, it's really reprehensible stuff to see and read the reports about them. And maybe the Japanese
00:13:12.540
have their heads screwed on straight better than we do with not sort of chasing indulgences. Because
00:13:16.540
yeah, it's like Toyota and Honda both acknowledged very early. It's like, oh, whoops. Like, let's get
00:13:22.460
out of EVs pretty quick here. Let's keep on our hybrid fuels. Let's keep providing products that
00:13:28.460
people actually need. And they're always going to lead the market in that regard. Now, this beloved
00:13:34.700
conference that drives you crazy and drives me crazy, it ended with a communique that scrubbed
00:13:40.300
all mention of fossil fuels. Like, we obviously see that the jig is kind of up, but, and yet you see
00:13:46.220
these rhetorical devices, you see these efforts with language, what they're doing. If you're Russia,
00:13:51.500
China, Saudi Arabia, would you not be licking your chops when you hear this kind of stuff?
00:13:55.580
I love the fact Canada wants to walk away from the things that makes it prosperous. And if we don't
00:14:01.260
want to sell it, they will. They certainly will. And there's other, you know, half of our country
00:14:04.700
gets oil and its products from other parts of the world, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
00:14:09.500
But be as it may, if that's the way in which, you know, your system is based, that's great. That's
00:14:15.900
wonderful. But the problem is, you know, when you're leaning up against a massive debt in which
00:14:21.660
no particular sector of the economy is doing fairly well, you got to sort of get creative.
00:14:26.780
I mean, the things that built this country were its resources, the extraction of its resources,
00:14:31.260
the responsible extraction and production and refining of its resources and manufacturing.
00:14:36.060
And my family, the McTaggs, came from Scotland. On my mom's side, we've been here since the 1600s,
00:14:41.420
it's French. But on the father's side, came to Peterborough, Ontario, one of the largest
00:14:45.980
manufacturing hubs in the country. And both in the First World War, Second World War, led by Edison
00:14:51.500
Electric. Actually, it's called CGE, the General Electric. But I digress. A town that used to be
00:14:56.540
a manufacturing hub is now nothing. It no longer has manufacturing. And like so many cities across
00:15:01.900
this country, yeah, you can rely on public sector and, you know, the service sector to carry some
00:15:09.820
of the stuff, beautiful country that it is, and lakes and whatnot, and people can retire up there.
00:15:14.940
But if we don't produce anything, we have nothing to offer the rest of the world,
00:15:18.860
sooner or later, we'll find that, is it any wonder, as I mentioned earlier, that on many, many
00:15:24.700
metrics, any type of way in which you want to look at our economy, we are in significant decline,
00:15:29.500
I would call it freefall. And the only thing keeping us in is this rhetoric used by the left,
00:15:34.860
that continues to somehow believe that we can, I don't know, use this, our Canadian Canada pension
00:15:39.740
plan, QPP, as collateral for bad debt, as collateral to somewhat impress people to come
00:15:45.020
invest in Canada. If investing in Canada was such a good thing, an enviable thing, and a worthwhile
00:15:50.700
thing, we wouldn't have $1.41 to buy a US dollar, our currency would be a lot stronger, we wouldn't see
00:15:56.700
the erosion of our purchase power, because we've decided to block pipelines, block natural gas,
00:16:02.620
not build any LNG, and tell the rest of the world that if you want to buy, get a mine here in this,
00:16:07.580
in this country, it's going to take you not two years, but 10 to 15 years, if you're lucky.
00:16:13.020
Yeah, now, switching gears to carbon credits, I mean, I think there are some signs of mild
00:16:19.980
encouragement when it comes to some of the rhetoric we're seeing from the federal government.
00:16:23.740
But Carney still uses language like carbon neutral AI data centers, if that even means anything,
00:16:29.500
throws around traditional energy, like it's a pejorative, it reminds me of the term cisgender,
00:16:35.100
which seemingly exists to sort of marginalize the majority of the population. If companies are forced
00:16:40.220
to buy carbon credits, to keep buying carbon credits, which, which in essence, at least to me,
00:16:45.500
are a kind of a climate indulgence payment. And the United States and our allies and competitors
00:16:50.540
on the global market, they're not doing the same. Aren't we again, putting ourselves at a competitive
00:16:55.340
disadvantage for seemingly no good reason? Yeah. And the other thing came COP30 was the idea that
00:17:02.460
they would no longer make reference to carbon border adjustment mechanisms. But the bottom line is that
00:17:09.260
if we are going to continue to virtue signal, we can do so as we continue to find that everything in this
00:17:14.060
country is falling to pieces. And there is not much in the way of anything positive coming in the short
00:17:20.220
term or the long term. These projects, these grandiose projects that Carney's been talking for
00:17:24.380
seven, eight months, many of them have already been announced, take years in order for them to really
00:17:28.860
gain traction. But if we are going to say to what everyone universally understands is going to be
00:17:36.300
the game changer in economies, whether they create jobs or not,
00:17:40.140
by saying that we can do it without, you know, by windmills, by solar panels, most of that,
00:17:44.860
by the way, made in China, and some of that highly unreliable, especially when the wind isn't blowing,
00:17:50.220
or maybe battery backup, as some are suggesting and spending billions of dollars in, that is no way
00:17:56.860
to provide a reliable energy source for the demands that will be sought. So Canada wants to exclude
00:18:03.660
itself from that. By all means, keep your elbows up and make sure that you understand
00:18:09.260
those welfare checks will not be cashed. If we're attracting the kind of investments in this
00:18:14.940
country, based on the new newer and emerging economies. One area that AI needs, obviously,
00:18:21.100
is energy. One thing we do produce a lot of is energy. And I don't care what kind of you want
00:18:25.020
to talk nuclear, you want to talk hydro, natural gas backup, propane, oil, there's a diesel, there's
00:18:31.180
a number of ways in which Canada can come at this. But if we're going to condition it, all we're doing
00:18:35.820
is cutting our nose off to spite our faces. We are doing damage to ourselves by allowing that kind
00:18:41.180
of rhetoric to prevail against the economic interests of this generation and the next generation. And
00:18:46.220
there is nobody who was given a mandate to do that in the last federal election. If Mark Carney
00:18:49.900
thinks that's the case, take it to the public. And by the way, we're going to go on this idea of
00:18:54.860
decarbonization of everything, including our pipelines, and that we desperately need to build
00:18:59.420
overnight. And you're going to suggest to people, well, hey, it has to be carbon neutral,
00:19:03.580
who the hell is going to pay for that? Do Canadians wind up paying the cost of sequestration,
00:19:07.980
which is dangerous in itself, I should point out? Yes, we have it. But there is so much to be said
00:19:13.260
about the impacts that no one wants to take into consideration. I'm saying to you now, if we have
00:19:18.140
a government that says it can only be carbon neutral, and the only solution is somehow CCSU,
00:19:23.100
or CCUS, whatever, carbon capture and underground storage, to use what it really means,
00:19:29.820
and it's going to cost tens of billions of dollars, it isn't going to be paid by other
00:19:35.260
players around the world. It's going to be paid by Canadian consumers. You want a 10 or 15 cent a
00:19:39.820
liter increase in gas prices? Go ahead, because we just got rid of the carbon taxes based on the
00:19:44.220
same phony idea that we could somehow virtue signal our way into creating more alternative
00:19:51.340
forms of automotive and get better efficiency. We've got efficiency. We sure as hell got hit hard and
00:19:57.020
impoverished a lot of Canadians in the process. Yeah, we sure did. Dan, we're seeing in Alberta
00:20:03.740
right now, people are encouraged by the fact there might be this memorandum of understanding
00:20:09.740
that's been signed. But we're also seeing that those bad bills haven't been killed. Last week,
00:20:16.060
in so many ways, was a banner week for Albertan leadership, Premier Daniel Smith taking on all kinds of
00:20:21.100
common sense conservative causes. But if they're going to get this path to a bitumen pipeline to the
00:20:27.580
northwest BC coast, if they're going to get past BC Premier David Eby, who's perhaps no greater threat
00:20:33.820
to quote unquote, Team Canada, who's been an absolute joke and is childishly sniping from the sidelines
00:20:39.740
while his economy goes to hell. And British Columbians, I'm in BC, are worried if they're even going to
00:20:45.580
keep the rights to housing and I can't even afford a house. What do you make of this development?
00:20:52.140
Like, do you expect this potential pipeline deal to hold? Is it a good sign? Or is it is it just,
00:20:57.980
you know, you're you're offering just a trinket to appease them and you're by not killing these
00:21:03.340
bad bills, is anything really getting any better? I don't see how you can build it without, again,
00:21:08.140
massive amounts of money put into sequestration carbon capture as a condition for getting these things
00:21:14.460
out. Then you have to go over a number of other hurdles. You mentioned David Eby, you know, and
00:21:18.220
of course, he spent time as your previous Premier, John Horgan, who I crossed swords with many times
00:21:24.700
in my time as a gas buddy and whatnot saying you killed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, you're going
00:21:30.060
to wind up shooing away a lot of investment and you're going to wind up, you know, with the federal
00:21:35.660
government pulling the bag. Not that you have the constitutional authority to do it. Eby thought he did
00:21:40.460
and he got clean. He had his clock cleaned by the Supreme Court of British Columbia. But that aside,
00:21:46.300
if we're going to continue to be obstreperous and say, no, we can't do these things and that
00:21:50.620
there's a danger and a risk. I mean, look, there's dangers and risks in everything we do. We could
00:21:54.940
walk down the street and slip on a banana peel and break our neck. But this has gone from the
00:21:59.020
sublime to the ridiculous. We've had 10 years of climate fanatics being pushed by the NDP, who was
00:22:05.340
once pushed by the Green Party to take positions that have been both archaic and wrong. If BC doesn't
00:22:11.340
want to become part of selling its resources to the rest of the world, including all the gas in the
00:22:16.460
Montigny, then say so. And by the way, given what they did to chase out Kinder Morgan many years ago,
00:22:22.380
I'm still steamed at this. You know, that costs us $50 billion. BC has a debt to the rest of the
00:22:28.300
country, at least the BC NDP, which it should damn well pay before trying to create and put more spokes in
00:22:33.740
the wheels of a country that desperately needs to get its product to market because the world
00:22:37.580
realizes what is valuable in Canada, our natural gas. Yes, if you want our LNG, our oil and those
00:22:44.460
things which are derived from it. If we can't get to market, it's not Alberta's failure. It's not
00:22:50.140
Alberta that's going to fail. It's the country that's going to fail as a whole. So conditioning these
00:22:54.380
things has significant implications for the country, its economy and its future. And if people think we can
00:23:00.620
sit back and oh, you know, I want to make sure it's nice and clean and have this kind of, you know,
00:23:05.740
Pollyannish or, you know, this immature discussion about how Canada is not doing great, fine. As I said
00:23:12.380
to many people before, don't go for any more health care, because that's how it's paid. Don't ask for
00:23:17.020
any more pension system. Don't ask for infrastructure. Don't ask for welfare checks. Don't ask for any type
00:23:21.500
of handout. No free dental. If you don't want these projects to go ahead, then say no, sign a waiver saying,
00:23:28.140
I want nothing to do with social programs. We'll see how many people still have their elbows up when
00:23:32.700
that happens. Oh, it's so rich. I mean, even out here, there's this constant debate right now,
00:23:38.780
headed up by the tired and emotional Elizabeth May, to borrow a British parliamentary term.
00:23:45.660
The tanker ban where, you know, we're just cutting off our nose to spite our face, where American tankers,
00:23:51.340
you know, stream by the BC coast in the dozens per day, you know, but we're not allowed to move one.
00:23:57.660
This Team Canada, it reads as such an insult to so many, particularly generationally,
00:24:03.420
because we've all been able to watch and go like, no one harms Canada like these members of
00:24:07.820
quote unquote of Team Canada. And so it's incredibly rich. I appreciate your frustrations and your
00:24:14.780
leadership on this file. Thank you for all that you do with Canadians for Affordable Energy. And Dan
00:24:19.740
McTeague, thanks for joining us. Dan McTeague, thanks for having me. I'm looking forward to doing it again.
