00:02:22.240 it? This is completely ridiculous, and Canadians rightfully deserve truthful and honest answers 0.74
00:02:30.380 for all of this. And if the Conservative Party doesn't provide any answers, if they stay quiet,
00:02:36.980 what are they hiding? And why would they be hiding anything? Are they scared that we'd spot

00:02:59.120 champion their own destiny! They are not ordinary people, they are extraordinary people! In Punjab,
