00:00:00.680 Hello, Mr. Paliyev. A number of your own comments and actions have been characterized as dog whistling to the far right.
00:00:08.680 By who?
00:00:10.020 By a number of different...
00:00:11.540 By who?
00:00:11.740 But I think it's been characterized by that way.
00:00:14.480 By who?
00:00:14.860 But are you trying to court the far right?
00:00:17.520 Sorry, I just need to clarify. By who?
00:00:19.660 By a number of different experts and a number of different people who work in this...
00:00:25.000 Who are the experts?
00:00:25.700 Okay, well, I think it's been established that this is a concern.
00:00:29.680 Are you trying to court the far right vote?
00:00:31.600 Sorry, who are these experts? You say that there are experts who are saying this. Who are they?
00:00:35.780 My question is, are you trying to court the far right vote?
00:00:38.700 Sorry, your question seems to be based on a false premise. You can't even tell me who these experts are.
00:00:45.700 It sounds like it's just a CBC smear job. Thank you.
00:00:49.000 But what about the question about whether that's...
00:00:51.140 The answer is that I have a common sense agenda to axe the carbon tax, bring home powerful paychecks,
00:00:57.900 clear the way to build affordable homes, to put people in housing that they can afford.
00:01:04.680 That is a common sense, mainstream, Canadian agenda.
00:01:08.220 And I know that Justin Trudeau's supporters are so desperate to distract from that because his political career is falling apart.
00:01:15.540 So we're seeing an attempt here to distract and protect Justin Trudeau from his extremely unpopular carbon taxes and other failing policies.
00:01:25.960 But we won't let him or others distract from that reality.
00:01:30.760 So thank you.
00:01:31.500 So you're not going to answer that question?
00:01:33.320 Next question.
00:01:33.960 She doesn't work for CBC, but I do.
00:01:39.520 Carrie Campbell.
00:01:40.480 Thank you for taking my question.
00:01:41.780 Thank you.
