00:00:00.000 the cbc is reporting that there will be a slap a snap election called on sunday so it will be
00:00:04.480 the prime minister himself mark carney going ahead and announcing that there will be an election
00:00:09.760 here is a clip of how the how the news is being reported on cbc mark carney will dissolve
00:00:16.640 parliament and call an election this sunday that's march the 23rd the election day our sources are
00:00:23.840 saying it varies april 28th or the may the 5th that a final decision has not yet been made
00:00:29.360 but this is from sources confirmed to cbc news and radio canada so interesting because for so long
00:00:36.720 we have been urging the ndp to break up the deal they've been propping up the liberals for the
00:00:41.200 last four years and we've been calling on ndp leader jagmeet singh to do the right thing and
00:00:45.200 allow canadians to have a vote a vote interesting that mark carney has sort of bypassed the ndp
00:00:50.640 had no interest in forming any kind of an alliance with him and he's going to go trigger the election
00:00:55.360 himself which obviously means he's confidence under him he obviously knows that that right now
00:01:00.640 is is perhaps his best opportunity the canadians don't know him very well they might be willing to
00:01:04.880 give him a chance they haven't really been scrutinized he hasn't really been properly
00:01:08.720 vetted by the legacy media they seem to have no interest in asking him tough questions or digging
00:01:12.880 into his past or trying to find out what he believes about certain things about the world
00:01:16.880 and so on his own terms he's calling the election what do you what do you make of all this well
00:01:22.320 Well, number one, I'm really happy that we're finally at this stage where there's an election
00:01:25.440 going to be called. I think the latest survey was 72% of Canadians wanted an election. So
00:01:30.440 thankfully, the election's coming. Democracy is going to be able to run its course.
00:01:34.660 Look, I think, look what has happened with the cabinet of Trudeau, right? How many people
00:01:38.000 resigned, at least in my riding in Oakville East, for example, Anita Anand resigned when the polling
00:01:42.500 looked bad. Then literally two weeks later, I think it was two or three weeks later, she came 0.99
00:01:46.940 back and said, no, I had a change of mind when the polls changed. So the polling, and I'm glad
00:01:51.220 to hear that you are also doing independent polling I think the change in the polling what's
00:01:55.780 happened obviously what's going on with the tariff wars with Trump the people losing the NDP losing
00:02:01.380 their vote over to the Liberal Party so they're taking this opportunity they see it as a time to
00:02:05.540 go ahead and capitalize on that momentum that they have but again I think what's really going on
00:02:10.380 again is like that shift of the numbers is really a collapse of the NDP but I still think like in
00:02:15.220 the people that I speak to every day and again I reach for Canadians from coast to coast like you
00:02:19.400 you know they're still stuck on like understanding look what's happened over the last nine years
00:02:23.780 none of that has changed the cabinet that mark carney has is primarily everybody within justin
00:02:28.780 Trudeau's cabinet.
