00:00:00.000 Mark Carney. Trudeau's money man. Globalist. China's pal. Weeks in, he jets to Beijing.
00:00:09.700 Scores a $250 million loan from their state bank. 11 MPs tied to Beijing. Carney's crew
00:00:19.920 says nothing. Selling us out. Foreign cash. Secret deals. Carney's Canada.
00:00:30.000 I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show. Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:00:37.140 We are heading into the final weekend of the campaign and it is incredibly close.
00:00:42.660 Juno News' exclusive poll that came out earlier this week had it neck and neck.
00:00:46.660 39 for the Liberals, 39 for the Conservatives. There's other hints and I'm optimistic because
00:00:52.480 when I look at Juno News' neighbour poll, and I mentioned this, but Abacus Data, one of the top
00:00:57.060 pollsters in Canada, has also put out a neighbour poll. They've sort of followed our lead,
00:01:01.020 changed their methodology, put out a neighbour poll. And theirs is even more optimistic for
00:01:05.260 the Conservatives. They have Pierre Polyev at 44% to Mark Carney's 40%. So either way,
00:01:12.200 this election is going to come down to a hair. And I think that the stories going into the final
00:01:17.720 weekend of the campaign really matter, which is why the news about Mark Carney is just so
00:01:23.000 incredibly damning. He has been caught in a very big, very public lie. And even the legacy media
00:01:29.740 are coming after him. Folks, this is going to be a great show. Please like the video. It really helps
00:01:35.620 us with the YouTube algorithm. So just take a second, give us a like, and it really helps us out.
00:01:41.100 Okay, so to help me break down the news, talk about this scandal, talk about Mark Carney, talk about
00:01:46.780 the lost liberal decade of productivity. I'm very pleased today to be joined by one of Canada's most
00:01:52.140 successful businessman, Gwen Morgan. Gwen is a retired petroleum engineer, who was the founder
00:01:57.540 of Encana and served as a CEO until 2005. Gwen, thank you so much for joining us.
00:02:03.360 Good to be here. It's especially good to hear that things are getting that close.
00:02:08.820 Honestly, I'm optimistic. I don't trust the polls. I think that the idea that Mark Carney was up by 15
00:02:14.180 points earlier the campaign is absurd. And I think that really the neighbour poll, to me, is the best poll
00:02:20.180 out there. I hope we're vindicated on election day. I think that this type of polling has been
00:02:25.400 effective in other countries in picking up on things that regular polls don't. And so I think,
00:02:30.780 again, this scandal, I'm going to walk us through it here, with Mark Carney, it kind of implodes their
00:02:36.880 entire campaign. The entire idea behind Mark Carney's success here is that we're told that his CV,
00:02:43.660 his resume is so impressive, he's the one that can step in and manage a crisis, and that Donald Trump
00:02:47.900 respects him, right? And that was what the legacy media pushed. That is what he himself said. And so
00:02:53.280 this is what happened. CBC reported it on Thursday, April 24th, that during a phone call last month
00:02:59.420 between Donald Trump and Mark Carney, basically at the time, Mark Carney said that Trump respected
00:03:06.280 Canada's sovereignty, that the whole Governor Trudeau and 51st States was over. He wasn't doing that
00:03:12.100 anymore with Carney. And he said, we respected his sovereignty. Well, the CBC reported yesterday
00:03:17.480 that that's not true. So this is what the CBC reported during that phone call between Donald
00:03:22.040 Trump and Mark Carney. The US president did put the idea of making Canada the 51st state back on the
00:03:27.300 table, sources told Radio Canada. So first, let me just show you the clip of Mark Carney back in March,
00:03:35.480 dismissing the idea, saying that he had a good call with President Trump, and that he respected his
00:03:40.520 sovereignty, implied that those kind of comments about the Governor and 51st state were not made
00:03:45.560 anymore. And so again, telling the Canadian public that with him at the helm, with him as Prime
00:03:50.340 Minister, that Trump was backing off and backing down. And that's again, why we needed Mark Carney.
00:03:54.840 So let's show this clip from back in March. Give us a sense of the tone that Donald Trump struck
00:04:00.720 with you on the call. Did he call us the 51st state? Did he call you the Governor? Or was he more
00:04:05.680 respectful like he was in the Oval Office? It was, as I say, it was a very, very productive,
00:04:11.380 his words, very productive, mine, very constructive. They mean the same thing. It was very cordial.
00:04:16.680 You've said that you wouldn't sit down with Mr. Trump and talk to him unless he respects Canada's
00:04:20.880 sovereignty. Did you convey that to the president today? And if so, what did he say?
00:04:25.220 The president respected Canada's sovereignty today, both in his private and public comments.
00:04:30.140 So he was asked point blank, did he use the language 51st state? Carney didn't really,
00:04:34.260 he kind of obscured the comment. But then when he asked about sovereignty, he said yes,
00:04:37.780 in both in public and in private. It kind of frustrates me that the Canadian media just trust
00:04:43.180 what Mark Carney says, because he wasn't being honest there. And it took a month for us to figure
00:04:47.920 this out. And during that month was, you know, the most important, most consequential month of the
00:04:51.900 election campaign. So again, kind of shocking. But I'm very glad that the CBC reported this,
00:04:57.020 called them out. So President Trump was seen, again, doubling down on this idea. So speaking from the
00:05:03.560 Oval Office on Wednesday, he continued and repeated the rhetoric that Canada as a state
00:05:08.560 works, again, saying that we should be absorbed and annexed into the United States. Let's play that 0.77
00:05:13.660 clip. Again, we don't really want Canada to make cars for us, to put it bluntly. We want to make
00:05:20.080 our own cars. And we're now equipped to do that. They took a lot of our car business, Mexico too,
00:05:26.120 took a lot of our car business. We want to make the cars here. I'm running this country,
00:05:29.820 I'm not running Canada. And that's why I asked Trudeau, who I call Governor Trudeau,
00:05:37.280 affectionately, but I asked him, why are we spending $200 billion to support Canada, to subsidize
00:05:45.540 Canada? And he was unable to answer the question. I mean, why are we doing that? And I have to be
00:05:52.280 honest, as a state, it works great. As a nation, considering the fact that most of the nation,
00:05:59.540 you know, 95% of Canada, what they do is they buy from us. And they sell to us. They sell to us.
00:06:06.660 If we didn't buy their oil, if we didn't buy their, and we don't need their oil. They have more oil than
00:06:12.080 anyone, but we don't need their oil. We don't need their lumber. We don't need their cars. We don't
00:06:15.400 need anything. So I said, why are we doing this? Why are we spending $200 billion? It doesn't make
00:06:21.000 sense. If we needed something, that would be a different subject. So I'm working well with
00:06:27.940 Canada. We're doing very well. We're working on a deal. We'll see what happens. But again, you
00:06:34.420 know, why, representing this country, why are we spending $200 billion to support and subsidize
00:06:42.500 another country? Because if they didn't have us, and if we didn't spend that money,
00:06:50.160 as Trudeau told me, they would cease to exist. He said that to me, they would cease to exist,
00:06:54.920 which is true, certainly as a country.
00:06:57.780 So following that, following the CBC report, Mark Kearney was asked about this. And the media
00:07:04.940 really did not hold back. They, you can tell when they feel betrayed that their man, Mark Kearney,
00:07:10.180 has misled them, has lied. The entire narrative of the campaign is falling apart. And watch Mark
00:07:16.400 Kearney squirm, just totally unable to give a straight answer and admit that he had lied.
00:07:22.960 Let's play that clip.
00:07:24.180 On March 28th, didn't President Trump bring up the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state during
00:07:30.820 that call with you.
00:07:32.560 The, as I just said, the president brings this up all the time. He brought it up yesterday. He's
00:07:40.120 brought it up before. There's a difference between the conversation that was held between leaders
00:07:46.640 of government, which was this conversation, and a discussion that led directly to an agreement that
00:07:55.820 as sovereign countries, we would have negotiations about our partnership following the election on
00:08:04.920 Monday.
00:08:06.340 Hi, Mr. Kearney, McKenzie Gray with Global News. I think you've talked to Ashley and Laurence's
00:08:09.880 questions, so I'll just give you one opportunity again. Yes or no, did Mr. Trump bring up the 51st
00:08:15.060 state in his call with you?
00:08:15.980 I said that he did. I said that he did. But the president, to be clear,
00:08:22.900 il, oui, il a sulevé. C'est une question de pays souverains. Sorry, McKenzie, I should
00:08:28.600 be answering you in English. The, the, him raising something and then where the discussion
00:08:35.300 is, he has these things in his mind. It's not, this is not news. He raises it all the time.
00:08:41.500 Okay? But then the question is what's going to be done with it? And does he understand
00:08:45.080 where we stand, but more particularly where I stand? He is under no illusions. Never, absolutely
00:08:52.060 not, never. Move on. It's two sovereign nations coming together, negotiating our partnership,
00:08:57.920 our relationship. And the question is, will, will there be a deal that's acceptable to Canada?
00:09:07.220 There's a lot that will never be on the table in those negotiations, and I've been absolutely
00:09:12.860 clear about that.
00:09:15.040 So really not able to give a straight answer. You can see that trick that they did where he
00:09:19.480 switches to speaking in French. He was in Coquitlam, British Columbia, right? There's no
00:09:23.460 reason to start speaking French in the middle of a press conference other than just to duck the
00:09:27.260 question so that you don't have to give the answer. And he said, yeah, I said that he, that Trump
00:09:31.960 said the 51st state thing. He said, yes, I already said that. No, he didn't. That was the first time
00:09:36.360 he ever admitted it. And when he was asked point blank back in March, he denied it. So
00:09:40.340 Gwen, what do you make of this scandal? Do you think it will be consequential in determining
00:09:46.040 the winner of the election?
00:09:48.880 Well, it certainly is a major revelation, but it's hard to know how much difference it makes
00:09:54.760 because the public has to get the point, you know, and he's sort of obscusing. He was obscush. 0.80
00:10:03.440 See, what's that other word?
00:10:06.520 Obfuscating, obscuring it, yeah.
00:10:10.000 And so it wasn't very clear, but it depends on what they do with it, what the media does
00:10:15.560 with it, I think. And it's interesting that the Radio Canada is the one part of the CBC
00:10:31.380 that Polia wants to keep. So maybe they're doing a good job on that.
00:10:37.920 Interesting, isn't it? Yeah, I noticed that. And one thing, this is kind of a tangent, but
00:10:42.500 during the French debate, Polia explained why he wanted to continue to support Radio Canada.
00:10:48.500 Radio Canada is a French version of CBC. So he's saying, defund the English CBC,
00:10:52.220 keep the French CBC. And he was saying, because when he was growing up in Calgary and he was a
00:10:56.560 French speaker, he was only able to get his news from Radio Canada, therefore meaning we should keep 1.00
00:11:03.380 it. But in my mind, I'm like, you know, that was the 70s and the 80s, man. Like so much has
00:11:08.520 changed. You're saying that there's no French podcast, so there's no independent French
00:11:11.840 journalists out there that you still need the government. Anyway, I'll save my criticisms of
00:11:16.080 Polia for another time. I want to go to what Polia is saying about this here is what he wrote
00:11:20.480 on X. He said, Mark Carney lied about his call with Trump in a desperate attempt to distract from
00:11:26.880 the lost liberal decade of rising costs and crime and to trick Canadians into giving liberals a fourth
00:11:33.520 term. Carney's entire campaign is built on lies. If he lies about this, he would lie about inflation,
00:11:39.180 taxes, crime, and everything else. A little hyperbolic, but I actually agree with this idea.
00:11:44.700 The entire campaign was built on a lie. The entire thing that the media were trying to tell us about
00:11:50.700 Mark Carney is that he showed up with Trump. Trump immediately respected him. No more of the governor
00:11:57.000 stuff. No more of the 51st state stuff. And that is why Canadians, many of them, again, if you believe 0.90
00:12:02.640 the polls or just the momentum, that Mark Carney was the person for the job because of that lie. And
00:12:09.360 for it to come apart on the eve of the election, I think it will have an impact. I want to go to this.
00:12:15.920 Steven Taylor, who is a conservative, I think he's an operative for the party, he wrote this on X. He said,
00:12:23.120 there's a very good chance the liberals leaked that Carney lied about the Trump call. It's easy bait to
00:12:28.880 resurrect the main theme of the liberal campaign. Boy, you know, these liberals, if you believe
00:12:35.840 something like this, it's like they're trying to play 3D chess over there, but their dirty tricks
00:12:40.240 keep failing, right? The whole idea of button gate, the dirty tricks, they were planting Trump buttons at
00:12:45.200 the Canada Strong and Free conference just to get exposed and humiliated over that. And then if they were
00:12:52.720 lying about this, I get why they want Trump back in the news cycle. But if they planted that,
00:12:58.400 they really didn't do their guy any favors because you saw him squirming out there, unable to answer
00:13:03.200 those questions in Coquitlam. So if a liberal operative did that, maybe this is a firing offense.
00:13:08.800 Mark Carney didn't fire the staff over button gate, but I think maybe he should fire whoever leaked this
00:13:13.600 to the media. I don't agree with that analysis, by the way. I don't think that they leaked this. I think
00:13:18.320 that this is just some, frankly, some solid journalism from Radio Canada and the fact that they couldn't
00:13:26.000 help but putting this out. It was so important to the public, for the public to know about this going
00:13:29.920 into the election. What do you make of all this win? Well, you know, I think Mark Carney has been,
00:13:34.880 I guess, lying, or at least of excuse, using a language that is not clear for a long time. I mean,
00:13:45.280 he, this is a guy who was, according to the latest world economic data, has denied the fact that Canada's
00:13:58.000 GDP per capita, which is the same as standard of living, has been collapsing. And
00:14:03.840 that this is, and yet he doesn't understand that we're heading towards having a GDP per capita of
00:14:14.480 half of the U.S. Because, you know, what's happening in the U.S. is that Trump is actually increasing the
00:14:24.320 GDP per capita. And what's happening in Canada is we're decreasing it. And so we're heading towards
00:14:30.320 having 50% of the, of the U.S. per capita GDP. And he, you know, he's not going to talk about that.
00:14:39.360 Well, he, he should. And I think that that is, one of the interesting things is that because of
00:14:44.960 the media and the way that they've pushed this story with Trump, and again, Carney coming in to
00:14:49.040 save them, they've made it so that the ballot box question is about something external, an external
00:14:53.280 threat being Donald Trump, when really what Canadians deserve is for an election based on
00:14:59.040 the governance of Canada, the standard of living, like you've said, the lost economic decade. You had
00:15:05.040 a wonderful piece in C2C Journal, Appetite for Destruction, how a decade of liberal rule cratered
00:15:11.280 Canada's economy. And this should be the ballot box question. This is what the entire election should be
00:15:18.000 about. And yet we're kind of falling for these distractions about Trump. I'm glad that the Carney
00:15:23.440 lie came out because it can put that idea to bed that no, Carney is not some magic Trump whisperer
00:15:29.360 that can somehow appease Donald Trump. That's just not the case. And let's talk about the real issues
00:15:34.880 of the election. So, Gwen, I want to ask you to sort of walk us through your essay that you wrote
00:15:40.480 about how liberal rule cratered Canada's economy.
00:15:43.520 Okay. Well, let me put my reading glasses on because I want to just keep referring to my piece
00:15:51.280 here. Sure.
00:15:52.320 As I said, I talked about GDP per capita, which is a fundamental point. Most Canadians don't
00:15:57.360 quite understand how important it is, but it really means basically standard of living. And it's been
00:16:03.280 collapsing. And, you know, we have a country that should be the envy of the world. I mean,
00:16:10.080 we have all the resources. We've got rivers and oil and gas reserves. We've got mineral wealth from the
00:16:15.520 Canadian Shield. We are probably the most blessed country in terms of overall resources. And yet,
00:16:22.160 look where we're going. We're going towards a standard living that keeps on collapsing.
00:16:28.160 There's several reasons for that. You know,
00:16:30.640 a lot of it relates back to the Trudeau government's green fanaticism, which actually is
00:16:38.400 even more strong, I think, in the mind of Carney. He was one of the founders of the Gantt's
00:16:48.720 international agreement on emissions and that he's been trying to back away from. But it really is
00:16:56.640 is basically going to wipe out the economy of the country if it went forward that way.
00:17:04.800 You know, the carbon tax is a very interesting thing because we know that what it's done for
00:17:16.160 for the motor fuels and for the cost of moving around by Canadians. But what is not clear to a lot of
00:17:25.280 people is that at the same time, we were putting huge EV subsidies in place. And the accommodation
00:17:32.800 of that has done a lot of economic damage. You know, the farmers, what Carney wants to do
00:17:46.160 is move the carbon tax away from where the people see it, which is at the pump, back to producers,
00:17:58.160 which are the people that produce the economy and support the economy of the country. He's not going
00:18:03.200 to take it away. He's going to put it upstream and try to hide it. And that's another thing that says
00:18:10.240 something about the guy, you know, about his whole approach to things. But actually, when you look at
00:18:16.560 the farmers and all the people upstream of producing goods and services and putting it on their back,
00:18:27.520 not taking it down, just putting it on their back is a subterfuge. It's another one of his way of doing
00:18:34.240 things. You know, this whole thing about the New War Pipelines Act that the federal government put in
00:18:44.080 place. Bill C-69, yeah.
00:18:46.240 Put prohibiting new oil and gas pipelines. It was introduced by Stephen Gilbert, the former
00:18:56.480 Greenpeace activist who once climbed to the top of CN's tower in front of a banner that said,
00:19:03.760 Canada and Bush climate clinic killers. And this is the guy who were relying on for the liberal
00:19:16.480 economic and climate policies. One of the things that's also a measure of how a country does
00:19:24.240 is what the business investment per worker is. It's a key driver of income and living standards.
00:19:33.600 And the Fraser Institute published a note that said that in 2023, it said that our business investment
00:19:42.640 per worker had declined from $18,000 in 2014 to just a little less over $14,000 in 2023. And it's heading
00:19:56.720 downwards. And that's a gap between Canada and the US of 82% in investment per worker. All of this stuff,
00:20:06.960 you know, is not readily understood by the average Canadian, I don't think. But really,
00:20:12.400 all it means is that the country is continuing to go downward and push itself downwards through these
00:20:19.040 kinds of policies. And then there's, of course, our DEI policies that compel businesses to hire people
00:20:28.560 that aren't fully qualified, or at least not the best qualified for the work they do. And that's a
00:20:36.000 devastating thing for business.
00:20:36.960 Well, and it's also deeply unfair. I mean, journalist Jonathan Kaye, he's done a great
00:20:44.000 job highlighting these things on X, where he'll post a job posting for say, like the University of
00:20:48.560 British Columbia. And he'll highlight like everything in blue is the actual qualifications
00:20:53.360 you need for the job. And then everything in pink are the identity qualifications that you need. And you
00:20:59.040 can see, it's like 90% based on identity, and 10% based on qualifications, which is absurd. But it's
00:21:06.320 also deeply discouraging for young men, young white women and men who basically unless you adhere to the
00:21:16.160 complete ideology and, you know, play up your ideology, or try to invent some kind of new identity,
00:21:24.000 you basically don't have a chance. I was talking to a friend of mine, who's a retired doctor,
00:21:30.320 and he was talking about how he basically doesn't believe that white males can get accepted into
00:21:34.720 medical school anymore. He's mentored young men that have perfect GPAs, outstanding resumes in terms of
00:21:41.440 volunteer work, and just showing capacity in every area of life who get rejected from every single law
00:21:48.560 school in the country. And it's like, what kind of future can you have in a country that bases
00:21:57.200 who they hire on the color of your skin? It's so terrible, Gwen, for our country. Sorry,
00:22:03.280 I interrupted you, you can continue. And adding to that, Candice, is the whole issue. We have a
00:22:08.480 healthcare crisis. Part of the crisis, we have a lack of doctors, a huge, huge shortfall. And there's
00:22:15.280 thousands of dollars, thousands of doctors who want to come to Canada. And they're well trained,
00:22:24.000 they're top people, but they tend to be, you know, among them. Not many of them are members of what
00:22:31.520 we call the minorities. And so, they're barred from coming. So, at the same time as you have a 0.99
00:22:36.800 healthcare crisis, we're stopping people who want to come to this country to help.
00:22:41.440 You know, every way you look at this, it's so devastating, not only for the economy, but for
00:22:49.600 individuals trying to get treatment for medical care. So, one of the other things, of course, is
00:22:59.120 the difference between Canada and the U.S. that drives those big differences in economic performance
00:23:04.960 is unionization. Canada has three times the unionization rate of the U.S. And it shows up in
00:23:17.840 person days lost due to strike. In one year, from those two years, from 2022 to 2023,
00:23:29.520 the—or 24, I should say—we had so many strikes in this country that just dropped two billion a day in
00:23:39.040 shipments on railways. And the Canada post-strike hit before Christmas for people. We have our ports,
00:23:50.480 which move billions of dollars a day, really, a month, I should say, of shutting down. All of that
00:23:57.600 happening in a country that's already having economic problems. And whereas in the U.S.,
00:24:04.880 they just don't allow that. So, there's so many different things. I mean, the national debt,
00:24:10.720 of course, we know has skyrocketed. Nine years of liberal rule has not only crippled the economy,
00:24:17.680 but has taken the national debt from $626 billion to $1.34 trillion. And looking at Carney's agenda,
00:24:27.840 it's going to go a lot higher.
00:24:30.480 Well, I want to jump in and say that this is something that sort of flew under the radar.
00:24:34.800 But earlier in the campaign, on April 5th, Mark Carney was in Oakville. And he said that he wants
00:24:41.280 to build a new economy. To me, this is just more of the same, the sort of woke, utopian thinking,
00:24:49.440 that we can just erase everything that we built over the years and start again, start fresh,
00:24:54.880 build something totally new, move away from natural resources and go towards this green utopia
00:25:01.920 that never seems to work in real life. I think we have this clip. Let's play this clip.
00:25:05.440 Above all, we will build a new Canadian economy. Our task as a nation over the coming weeks and months
00:25:17.360 and years is to think bigger and to act bigger, to build Canada strong. That starts right here.
00:25:29.520 That starts by investing in our workers.
00:25:33.760 Ironically, because as you pointed out, the Americans are investing so much more per worker
00:25:37.920 than Canada. But this idea, whenever I hear someone talk like this, it just puts me on edge.
00:25:43.600 No, you cannot build a new economy. Canada has an economy just fine. You have to invest in it and
00:25:48.880 help it grow or, frankly, get out of the way so that it can grow. I think that's more the Pierre
00:25:53.520 Palliev approach, take away all these costly regulations and reduce these taxes and not bring
00:25:59.040 in new spending, not increase the size of an already bloated bureaucracy. Whereas the Liberals,
00:26:04.800 and especially Mark Carney, they very much feel, because they're experts, that they can create
00:26:09.760 something new. And, you know, it's never worked in the past. I don't know why we will believe
00:26:14.960 that it could work again now. What do you think?
00:26:17.600 Well, here's a guy, you know, that wrote a book called Values, Building Better World for
00:26:24.480 All in 2021. One of the things the book talks about is that the free market economy doesn't work.
00:26:34.720 It can't work. The governments have to manage the economy. Like, this is about the most left-wing
00:26:46.640 discussion you could possibly have, and that's his philosophy. So he doesn't believe in the private
00:26:52.720 sector. He believes that governments have to take control. And when he's talking about what he's
00:26:59.120 going to do with the Canadian economy, that's what he's talking about. He doesn't believe in free
00:27:03.360 enterprise. It's really unbelievable to say that, of a prime minister, and yet he's openly
00:27:09.920 speaking about it and admitting it. Quite, quite shocking. Well, I'm very pleased that this news came
00:27:16.080 out that Mark Carney had lied, because I hope it gets through to some of those folks in the elbows-up
00:27:21.200 crowd to say, you know, this man's not your savior. Despite what the CBC has told you in the past,
00:27:26.960 he hasn't done what they say he's going to do. I want to end this show on a positive note.
00:27:32.080 The Toronto Maple Leafs, I'm not a Maple Leafs fan, but I will say my husband's a huge fan,
00:27:35.440 so he was very happy last night. They scored in overtime and won. And I guess on the way home from the
00:27:41.200 hockey game, a bunch of Leafs fans, their chant goes from, you know, go Leafs go,
00:27:48.160 to all of a sudden, we want Polyev, we want Polyev. So I think it's exciting to see,
00:27:52.400 first of all, the excitement, also the young crowd. I really think that this election will
00:27:58.320 be determined by young voters, people under the age of 35. This might be, you know, the best
00:28:04.240 opportunity for them to get a shot in this country. And so to see these young men, you know, having a
00:28:10.720 great time and cheering on Pierre Polyev, I think that that's exactly the kind of message that we want
00:28:15.840 going into the weekend. So let's play that clip.
00:28:24.480 So, yeah, what do you think of that, Gwen?
00:28:26.640 Well, that's so heartwarming, you know, and I think that maybe it's funny getting through to
00:28:34.000 Canadians and especially young Canadians who are already very much supportive. But it's us baby
00:28:41.360 boomers and so on that are in the wrong place a lot of the time. But it's a great trend. And Pierre
00:28:48.480 Polyev and his wife Anita are wonderful people. I mean, here's an orphan that was handed over to his
00:28:55.200 grandmother or whatever, to a stepmother. And she came from Venezuela and fought her way up to get 1.00
00:29:03.280 educated and both. They're such a, the furthest thing from being the elitist, the carnivist. It
00:29:11.920 couldn't be further. And they're real people.
00:29:14.960 Exactly. Very modest beginnings, both of them. And it's so heartwarming to hear their story. And I'm glad
00:29:20.960 they're breaking through with young Canadians. I know the baby boomers watching this show 1.00
00:29:25.760 are the good kind. You're the ones that are going to help us save the country.
00:29:29.040 But I do think it's a good sign that young people are actually voting for a responsible
00:29:35.360 conservative government or at least leaning that way. All right, Gwen, I really appreciate your time.
00:29:39.600 Thank you so much for joining us. That's Gwen Morgan, retired businessman and philanthropist.
00:29:44.400 Well, folks, we'll be back on Monday with our election broadcast. I'm very excited. We're going to be

00:30:14.480 great program for you. So we'll be back on Monday with that. And again, this is going to be

00:30:25.920 on Monday. We have to take our country back. All right, folks, have a... Sorry, go ahead, Gwen.
00:30:30.880 Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. Yeah, I think we're going to have a good night, but we shall see.
