I think one of the things that we've seen in terms of what Conservatives have been saying
00:00:13.640
is that they are playing, not just here in Canada but around the world, a very dangerous

00:00:25.000
each other and raising the kinds of anxieties that quite frankly don't help solve problems
00:00:30.600
