00:00:00.000I wanted to shift gears here because you are right there in Ottawa and people often refer to as the
00:00:05.220kids coming back to school. So for most people who actually have their own kids and stuff in the
00:00:09.960house, kids are going back to school next week. Now, when do your kids, your MPs actually come
00:00:16.860back to school? And I wanted to ask what's first on the agenda in your mind? What are the main
00:00:22.200things that they need to tackle once the house starts sitting again? Yeah, well, the circus
00:00:26.880will be back middle of September. And look, like I said before, I think the biggest fight is going
00:00:32.120to be around the bureaucracy. And I think it's going to be around spending and, you know, whether
00:00:36.340the government will cut spending or what have you, just because we're hearing that the budget,
00:00:40.680the federal budget will finally be tabled sometime in October. But we've already kind of talked about
00:00:45.060the bureaucracy. I want to shift to another fight that I see coming. And that's around the
00:00:49.400government's ban on the sale of new gas and diesel vehicles by 2035, right? So by 2035,
00:00:55.760the government wants to ban the sale of all new gas and diesel vehicles. And the reason I think
00:01:00.940this is going to be a big fight is twofold. So number one is that this ban starts in 2026. So
00:01:08.780it starts in a couple months where I believe about 20% of all new gas and diesel vehicles sold or
00:01:13.600all new vehicles sold will have to be electric. So the ban is starting next year. But the second
00:01:18.980reason I bring it up, why I think this is going to be such a big issue is because Mr. Polyev and
00:01:23.260the conservatives have vowed to launch a national campaign against the government's ban on the sale
00:01:29.620of new gas and diesel vehicles. So I think that's going to heat up real quick once September rolls
00:01:34.120around. Yeah, that's a big meaty one. I know here in Alberta, the Alberta government led by Premier
00:01:39.740Daniel Smith is doing the right thing. They've added this to their list of very serious grievances
00:01:45.220that they have with Ottawa saying that we want this fixed like right now. Like they're not playing
00:01:50.300around. They're getting pretty mad about this. Okay. There's a lot of people that are pushing
00:01:54.140for more autonomy. I will put it that way here in Alberta versus Ottawa. And the, one of the main,
00:02:00.500two big reasons here why people are fighting this so hard. Number one, you know, the government has
00:02:06.100no place in the garages of the nation. Okay. Like why is the government getting up on people's grill,
00:02:10.820telling them, dictating to them what kind of vehicle they need to drive? I'll put it this way.
00:02:15.540So if you're hauling cattle here in Alberta or if you're a commuter out there in Ontario, you're trying to get into downtown Toronto or something like that, you're driving into London, that's up to you what kind of vehicle fits for your work and family requirements, okay?
00:02:31.000And the government is just bad at doing things.
00:02:33.320As you just described very fulsomely with the bureaucracy, they're big, they're wasteful, they don't know how to do stuff.
00:02:39.360They couldn't organize a two-car parade.
00:02:41.640So who are they to say this is going to fit for your family?
