00:00:00.000 Do you know how long you've held up people picking up bags?
00:00:08.500 I've been waiting a line down the road for 30 minutes while you've been here soaking up the race.
00:00:15.220 You know?
00:00:16.240 Excuse me. Excuse me.
00:00:17.920 You're not getting my vote. This is a free country.
00:00:20.360 It's a free country and I'm trying to speak to him and he won't even acknowledge me.
00:00:24.680 Yes sir, thank you. I'm sorry for your challenge.
00:00:27.060 It's not my challenge. I'm a volunteer trying to help someone save their home.
00:00:31.080 Sir, sir, we've been filling sandbags as well.
00:00:33.100 Yeah, and you know, while you're here, while you're here, nobody can pick up.
00:00:37.100 While you're here, no one can pick up sand.
00:00:40.740 I don't know that sir. I'm sorry.
00:00:41.460 Well, why don't you make yourself aware?
00:00:43.060 You know, I was with a guy who was a staunch conservative and he said if you actually do work, he'd change his vote and vote for you.
00:00:51.180 Sorry sir, I just spent half an hour. Can you listen to me sir now that I've listened to you?
00:00:55.860 Yeah, I'll listen.
00:00:57.360 I'm glad to be here with my kids who just filled sandbags for 15 minutes which isn't enough.
00:01:01.380 But you held people up.
00:01:01.880 Sorry.
00:01:02.380 All your RCMP and security held people up from getting their stuff.
00:01:05.880 Sir, I can understand your frustration around security. I live frustrations with security every day of my life right now.
00:01:11.360 That's something that I, that unfortunately is a reality of my life.
00:01:13.360 But look at the time we've taken.
00:01:14.360 But I'm happy to be here.
00:01:15.360 They're about to open these dams.
00:01:16.880 I'm happy to be here to speak with you, to listen to you, to speak with all your peers and to encourage more Canadians to come out and volunteer.
00:01:24.860 More people are coming and volunteer because they're drawing attention to it.
00:01:26.860 I volunteered but I was in a truck for an hour waiting while you were here with a photo op.
00:01:31.460 I have the most insincere thing I've ever seen.
00:01:34.460 I'm sorry sir, that's unfriendly and un-neighbourly today. We're here to help. Thank you.
00:01:40.460 Thank you.
