00:00:00.000 This is Max Channette reporting from the RBC Convention Center here in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
00:00:05.160 This is the very place where the NDP, the New Democratic Party of Canada, is having their
00:00:09.700 convention right now. Let's go and ask some attendees some questions. Let's go.
00:00:13.960 If you could fix one thing in Canada like that, what would that be?
00:00:18.060 Oh my gosh. There's so many things. Ah, man. Proportional representation.
00:00:26.540 I'd snap my fingers and all the chuds would be woke. 1.00
00:00:33.540 That's very funny.
00:00:34.540 I would say expanding universal healthcare to cover prescription drugs, to cover mental
00:00:39.540 healthcare, to cover dental care.
00:00:41.540 A living wage.
00:00:42.540 To reduce the taxis.
00:00:47.540 Reducing taxes?
00:00:48.540 Taxis.
00:00:49.540 Taxis?
00:00:50.540 Yeah.
00:00:51.540 Like reducing the amount of taxis?
00:00:53.540 Yeah, the taxes is, for my opinion, the taxes is high.
00:01:01.120 Like, after working in your paycheck, the taxes is higher.
00:01:05.940 Oh, you mean like taxation?
00:01:08.360 Yeah.
00:01:09.000 Okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:01:10.300 Greater funding for public health care.
00:01:12.400 Too many problems, name one.
00:01:14.540 Tax reform.
00:01:16.200 Tax reform?
00:01:17.360 Tax reform.
00:01:17.940 Okay.
00:01:19.120 Housing.
00:01:20.340 Housing.
00:01:21.300 Proportional representation.
00:01:22.380 Proportional representation.
00:01:24.380 Probably we need more housing. Free tuition.
00:01:27.380 Proportional representation. Electoral reform.
00:01:31.380 Get rid of liberals and conservatives.
00:01:35.380 Honestly rewrite all of it.
00:01:39.380 Also lower the voting age. Just electoral reform in general. Our system is terrible.
00:01:43.380 16. 16. Lower it down?
00:01:45.380 I think lower than 16.
00:01:47.380 I think 16. You don't want to go lower than that.
00:01:50.380 If I could fix one thing in Canada?
00:01:51.980 Yes.
00:01:52.480 That would be to take power away from corporations and give it back to the people.
00:01:56.440 Now, unfortunately, I did not spot any NDP MPs or any prominent person in the NDP.
00:02:02.100 I think because there is a shortage right now.
00:02:06.440 The one person I did spot was Fred Hahn, and I did troll him a little bit, but that's about it.
00:02:10.600 Mr. Hahn, who was worse for Canada, Mark Carney or Stephen Harper?
00:02:14.520 I think it's a tie. They're both bad for Canada.
00:02:16.540 Anyways, if you want to see something way bigger than this, where I actually go after
00:02:22.680 ministers and MPs, I'm going to the Liberal Party convention at the beginning of April
00:02:27.040 in Montreal.
00:02:29.240 Link's in my bio.
00:02:30.280 That's my gifts and go.
00:02:31.360 Give me whatever you got.
00:02:32.260 It all helps.
00:02:32.880 Thank you.
