00:00:00.000 I got one last question. I mean, I can't think of anything that encapsulates Canada's
00:00:05.140 position in the world and seeing Carney in this here at this big event on the weekend in Egypt,
00:00:12.840 where he was sitting in the back row, kind of looking lost. No one was paying much attention
00:00:18.640 to him. If anything, he kind of looked a little disgruntled. I mean, you had this big announcement,
00:00:24.340 a big signing, a peace deal, and Trump was very much shunted off to the sidelines.
00:00:29.400 What are you, what's your thinking on that?
00:00:31.820 Well, I first thought it was, my goodness, what a big carbon footprint you have, right?
00:00:35.860 He's always flying around.
00:00:37.360 He flies to the UK, he flies to the US, he flies to Egypt.
00:00:40.220 He's like, oh, carbon pollution, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:00:42.340 But now watch me hop into a jet.
00:00:44.240 And I noticed we didn't even have a Canadian forces plane that could take him, right?
00:00:47.300 Talk about government crumbling.
00:00:49.060 But there he goes and then starts trying to talk and act as though he was a pivotal figure in this peace agreement.
00:00:54.560 When the one thing he did, which was to recognize a non-existent Palestinian state, again, very carny with these weird abstractions, was an obstacle to the peace process.
00:01:03.820 And Donald Trump was quite clear that it was an obstacle to the peace process.
00:01:07.060 And then he shows up and tries to photobomb Trump.
00:01:10.380 It's preposterous, but, you know, I feel so bad for Canada.
00:01:13.940 Many years ago, somebody once commented to me that this nation has first-rate people and third-rate leadership.
00:01:19.220 And while I sympathize and agree with that, and for the most part, we're the ones who put up with it.
00:01:24.940 We're the ones who stand for leaders, who behave in such egregiously shallow, self-serving and pathetic ways.
00:01:31.920 And we shouldn't.
00:01:32.640 We shouldn't have put up with Justin Trudeau for nine years, especially not claiming sunny ways when he was so nasty.
00:01:38.680 And we shouldn't put up with Mark Carney, who claims to be an international green man of financial mystery,
00:01:43.320 when his track record is so terrible and his verbiage is so devoid of content.
00:01:47.900 if we do this to ourselves we've got ourselves to blame and we we can and we should do better
00:01:52.760 ask for politicians who you can understand what they say and there's some practical
00:01:57.400 chance that if you did it it would work is that so much to ask well I don't think it is but
