00:00:00.000 The real issue in my mind is not only the eventual price of gas and oil, but quite frankly, we talk about EVs and we talk about converting and everything.
00:00:12.380 We keep talking about the fact that as Canadians, we're middled right now.
00:00:15.580 So we've sold off our one national asset years ago.
00:00:20.520 We are in this model, which in an environment like this doesn't work for us.
00:00:25.100 Doesn't work now.
00:00:25.520 Right. How do we get to the point where if it's going to take us years to get there, we're not going to be sitting exposed because there's nothing to say that this conflict in the Middle East doesn't go on and on and on and on and keep going on.
00:00:38.860 like these are these are long conflicts that can go like the embargo that changed the world
00:00:45.440 caused the recession was only six months in 1963 we're in months well we're we're in two i guess
00:00:53.840 technically this has been five weeks as of today and quite frankly you know are we going to go six
00:00:58.720 months and at the end of six months where we at because to your point mike look at the countries
00:01:03.180 that are already being impacted so the ripple effect of all those the ripple effect of all
00:01:08.040 those is they're not selling goods they're not exporting goods they're not doing anything it's
00:01:13.520 starting to slow right those economies are all slowing so therefore any resources or any of the
00:01:19.920 things we need from those countries to keep ourselves going you know we just we're going
00:01:24.100 to be doing a show coming up which is very interesting and it was on lithium i was even
00:01:28.740 going to touch on that that i think that'll be a good watch for people because we might think
00:01:32.840 we're in the ev game not so sure that's true no we only we only produce 2.6 percent of the world
00:01:38.520 supply of lithium we're not huge lithium supply except we sold it off to a chinese company and
00:01:44.460 so how many batteries are we going to make without importing something from another country country
00:01:49.000 and quite frankly that other country could be impacted by the oil and gas issues therefore
00:01:54.960 they're slowing so the ability for them to mine truck logistically travel ship and land in canada
00:02:02.060 to make it to a plant to make EV batteries.
00:02:04.840 That's all tough now.
