00:00:00.000 I was a little surprised. I thought you were going to ask a spicier question, but the question you 1.00
00:00:03.640 asked was completely professional, completely reasonable. I was actually surprised that no
00:00:07.640 one had ever asked that to Mark Carney. And you could tell by his response, he didn't have a
00:00:11.380 canned answer, right? Like no one had ever asked him that question. And that in and of itself
00:00:15.360 is valuable journalism, right? The fact that you thought of a question that no one else thought
00:00:20.000 just shows why it's important to have freedom of the press so that you have different kinds
00:00:24.280 of journalists that think differently from different parts of the country with different
00:00:27.060 backgrounds. And to try to get the leader to answer honestly, right? When they're just asked
00:00:32.320 the same questions that they're asked from the CBC day in and day out, he develops talking points
00:00:36.460 and canned answers. And so you're not getting a real authentic reaction. You're just getting the
00:00:41.500 sort of PR version of the campaign. And that's what we're trying to avoid. So let's play this
00:00:46.800 clip. In your estimation, was Justin Trudeau a good prime minister? Yeah, Justin Trudeau and the
00:00:55.980 previous administration made a number of contributions to this country. I suspect
00:01:02.820 since I have 10 minutes I think right for the responses I'm not going to
00:01:06.480 enumerate them all. I'll make one point which I think is relevant on the way
00:01:10.680 looking for it which is as I said the other night in an interview he and I we
00:01:16.760 share the same values in terms of solidarity taking care of one each one
00:01:20.420 another. The emphasis on reconciliation, emphasis on equality of all Canadians, and building
00:01:29.160 a better country for everyone else. The difference, one of the differences, there are many, but
00:01:33.220 one of the differences between the two of us goes to the question I was just asked,
00:01:36.780 which is I put much more emphasis on the economy, on growing the economy. In fact, in this
00:01:42.300 circumstance that we're in, given the scale of the crisis and what needs to be done, I
00:01:46.960 I would say, a relentless focus on growing the economy to work for all Canadians.
00:01:51.780 So you can see that he kind of eventually got to where he wanted to go, which was,
00:01:55.400 yes, I have the same values as Justin Trudeau, but I'm better at managing the economy, basically.
00:02:00.640 And if he had been asked that question 10 times on the campaign trail, that's what he would have said.
00:02:03.960 But the telling part was the arms.
