00:00:00.000 we simultaneously don't have and and have a prime minister like I was actually shocked that
00:00:08.180 all the the major media outlets in Canada are referring to him as the prime minister like I
00:00:13.020 don't if it were me like I would just I think that the proper title for him should only just
00:00:19.100 be like the liberal party leader because he's I feel like you have to have a you have to be an
00:00:25.060 elected MP to be like to actually have the title of prime minister you don't have to be an elected
00:00:30.900 MP to be a leader of a party we know that for um for Nenshi in Alberta he's the leader of the Alberta
00:00:37.360 NDP but he's not uh he's not an MLA so I don't understand why we're calling him that they don't
00:00:44.020 even have the assumed confidence of the house that's the other part is it would be a different
00:00:51.580 situation that if you had a majority government with a large amount of like a good approval rating
00:00:58.000 and you swapped leaders you could by extension think that like well okay well you still have the
00:01:06.180 will of the people behind you still have a mandate yeah and we didn't and I think that's why the
00:01:12.900 like parliament still prorogued because the like you could have a vote of no confidence all these
00:01:18.560 things can happen if it returns yeah so the delaying is preventing these things and it's
00:01:25.140 drawing it out as long as possible and talking with friends and family none of this seems to phase them
00:01:30.840 this shenanigans and these are political shenanigans uh at the expense of what's best for Canadian people
00:01:40.860 these shenanigans are happening and people are somewhat justifying it these people like
00:01:48.440 didn't even know who Carney was and are surprised like oh he's on our money
00:01:54.320 this he he was ahead of the Bank of Canada and some of them don't even know that
00:02:01.700 I just I don't know how like no one in the media is pushing back on this like no one in
00:02:08.460 you know no one no political commentary in Canada is pushing back on this like
00:02:12.920 it seems crazy to me man like I feel like I honestly feel that like
00:02:16.980 countries have have had civil unrest and riots for less you know
00:02:22.040 don't think so much about it
00:02:36.820 them
