00:00:00.000 I want to segue this to another clip that was taken up in Edmonton, and we have our
00:00:06.280 friend The Pleb Reporter pointing this one out.
00:00:08.680 He writes, Mark Kearney is so awkward and out of place around blue collar workers and
00:00:13.100 blue collar people.
00:00:14.260 These working class Canadians did not even want to shake his hand. 1.00
00:00:18.340 And then he has a video.
00:00:19.780 So Marty, I'm going to play the video for us.
00:00:22.120 Unbelievable how uncomfortable Mark Kearney is around regular Canadians, working class
00:00:27.680 people.
00:00:28.680 So, you know, he's up in Edmonton.
00:00:29.680 believe that he has support up there. You know, you saw the crowd cheering for him when he went
00:00:33.840 out with the Oilers. And yet, like, this is how he actually is with people like the people in
00:00:38.640 Edmonton. Let's play the clip. So he can't even really make small talk. And, you know, if the
00:00:54.360 clip goes on, you can see that how uncomfortable the workers are. Like, they don't want to be
00:00:59.020 there. They're kind of embarrassed that they have to stand here for press conference with the
00:01:02.640 liberals. But I just want to show like one one clip. Someone on X pointed this out when he walks
00:01:07.880 up, he gives his awkward wave where he shows the back of his hand to the workers. It almost looks
00:01:12.280 like he's, you know, calling the valet saying, bring me my car, young man. And it just I don't
00:01:17.380 understand it. I don't I don't understand how someone could possibly be that out of touch and
00:01:23.000 that uncomfortable when talking to Canadians. He's not a politician. I mean, he hasn't practiced
00:01:28.340 kissing babies and and taking part in parade so he you know that part is obvious he's not
00:01:33.300 a politician he's not polished that way in that clip a really bad choice for him i mean he's got
00:01:39.860 uh amrajit sohi the you know the the mayor of edmonton who's absolutely despised who all who
00:01:46.660 just recently announced well the rumor is soji so he soji or so he so he he's running for for
00:01:53.460 he's re-running so yeah no it's an awkward clip i mean they're you know and to be fair the the
00:01:59.780 the workers workers didn't even like it when i came out there and made them do photo ops 0.77
00:02:04.340 because i worked in the oil patch and i was a manager you know we got to do a photo op they
00:02:08.100 hate the photo ops but at least if it's a popular politician there's you know a good
00:02:12.900 politician can work the crowd i mean i'm pretty sure if it was pierre there he'd work the crowd
00:02:16.740 somehow.
