00:00:00.000 The only real way that you can get true, hard information from a government in this country
00:00:17.400 is through some sort of parliamentary committee in the context of a minority government.
00:00:21.800 Unless the stars all align in that perfect fashion, which only happens once every decade
00:00:26.620 or so, you're basically not going to get any accountability because we know that things
00:00:29.840 like the ethics commissioner and all the rest of it are just, you know, pointless figureheads
00:00:33.520 as well.
00:00:38.900 You can't really have a government that says it's committed to having a country that is
00:00:44.180 diverse and, you know, having a government that is reflective of that diversity and then
00:00:49.120 also champion this very outdated, old fashioned idea that Canada is fundamentally a country
00:00:54.560 of two founding nations, only two, the French and the English, and that those communities
00:00:58.780 sort of will forever be able to dictate the shape and nature of the country.
00:01:07.740 What I say is that there is so much evidence that the Green Party has, like I said, been
00:01:11.320 a breeding ground or at least a sort of like welcoming environment for really like the fringe
00:01:17.120 crackpot sort of set of Canadian society.
00:01:20.560 You know, the NDP is, is, has a culture, right?
00:01:23.380 Like, and that's the thing, it's like the NDP is kind of like a culture that has a party.
00:01:27.380 It's just, this is just the kind of party that the NDP is.
00:01:31.460 I think it's a serious, an unserious party run by unserious people that are sort of captive
00:01:37.060 to a kind of fantasy of relevance that's never actually going to come true.
00:01:50.560 Thank you.
