00:00:27.520 maxime bernier and then got into a car and drove to the liberal uh convention in montreal

00:00:36.000 talk about political whiplash but that's what we did and we're here to talk about what that

00:00:41.120 experience was like and share a little bit of the uh a little bit of media with you that we

00:00:46.400 shot while we were there yeah and you know thanks mike and i would i didn't go so i was really

00:00:51.680 appreciative that you guys did the drive and and got there you you know all you were missed i'm

00:00:56.640 I'm not going to lie to you.

00:00:57.540 If there was perspectives you would have brought to this, that would have been delightful.

00:01:01.520 I'm sure I would have.

00:01:02.580 But, you know, it was interesting.

00:01:03.540 I was watching on TV.

00:01:04.700 So I was moving around a couple of projects on the weekend.

00:01:07.320 And I was moving around.

00:01:08.500 And I kept watching to see what was coming on.

00:01:11.500 It was very quiet.

00:01:12.860 You know, you didn't see much about it.

00:01:14.320 I think finally Saturday afternoon, you know, flipping back and forth between the Masters,

00:01:20.900 we saw like a half hour of his speech.

00:01:24.000 And then we saw him, this is the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, walking through the crowd, doing a love-in of handshakes, and then done.

00:01:35.340 He's a very huggy Prime Minister, as it turns out, huh?

00:01:38.060 He is, you know, and a lot of people want to see him.

00:01:40.040 It's, you know, it's the movie star effect, right?

00:01:41.880 We really love to see our politicians now, and it's created a whole, you know, micro-stardom in Canada and also in the U.S.

00:01:50.280 So, you know, there was that, but that was it.

00:01:53.740 And it was funny because I'm listening to you guys, you know, and I'm thinking to myself, well, I'm hearing there's a protest.

00:02:00.420 So I wanted to start with that.

00:02:02.080 I'm like, OK, so there was a number of protests.

00:02:05.420 Well, who were the protesters?

00:02:07.180 There was multiple protests, but they were outside of the Palestinian protests that kind of were doing their own thing that I've seen.

00:02:15.360 OK.

00:02:15.880 All of these other protests were kind of together, everything from communism to religion. 0.89

00:02:20.580 Were they out the Palestinians?

00:02:22.000 Did they get outed out of the protest? 0.62

00:02:23.320 They were off to the side.

00:02:25.120 They were in a completely different portion.

00:02:26.320 It was interesting because they chose a different part of the building.

00:02:29.220 So when we arrive on Saturday morning, don't forget,

00:02:33.920 the Friday before, Marilyn Gladue came and stunk the place out 1.00

00:02:37.880 and made liberals lose their mind.

00:02:40.100 And with that, we rolled in just as the convention was finishing.

00:02:43.760 So we got into town around 9, 930,

00:02:45.320 and we had started seeing everyone kind of flood out of the building.

00:02:48.320 And it did kind of see like it was a depressive kind of like...

00:02:52.320 we were driving around the town like everyone kind of looks sad and we didn't know why a little

00:02:56.160 toned down yeah we didn't know why around the convention center well friday so just to let you

00:03:01.200 know as you're driving up there were a lot of really short not so positive comments about

00:03:07.040 marilyn gladu and the four crossing i think media did pick up on that and they just you know they

00:03:13.120 hit on it and then they left it it was like okay that's odd and then there that was it and they

00:03:18.480 They didn't dig into who she was, what her views are.

00:03:21.480 Oh, they sure did on Friday.

00:03:23.040 Oh, did they?

00:03:23.620 Okay.

00:03:23.960 Yeah.

00:03:24.680 Friday night, I think the internet had its time.

00:03:27.780 And then Saturday, we heard about it firsthand from the delegates and the groups inside of the actual convention.

00:03:33.660 It was a pretty rough interview, you know, that, and we'll get more into this, but it wasn't lost on delegates there.

00:03:41.640 Okay.

00:03:41.800 This floor crossing is, it's not all lollipops and sugar candy.

00:03:46.820 It's got a certain amount of, it has a stigma attached to it.

00:03:52.300 And we can talk more about that.

00:03:53.600 But as we arrived, the next day I thought to myself,

00:03:56.240 now we had been to the conservative convention.

00:03:58.360 Yeah, I was there.

00:03:59.340 And I'm sorry, but I thought it was kind of lame.

00:04:02.780 It was very boring.

00:04:04.260 Hugely.

00:04:04.980 That's the definition of it.

00:04:06.860 Yeah.

00:04:07.500 It was really bad.

00:04:08.560 Not a lot of people there.

00:04:10.180 Just not a lot of media running around.

00:04:12.460 It just seemed very dead, very boring.

00:04:14.080 i've seen conferences for you know sleep apnea machines have more energy than they yeah and this

00:04:20.720 this definitely had a different vibe to it it was a different energy and that brought with it of

00:04:25.220 course the the prime minister arriving on saturday brought with it all of the protesters which were

00:04:31.000 positioned uh and contained in a park right across the street uh and uh actually why don't we have a

00:04:37.600 look at that right now okay now uh you've seen the protest what i will say with regard to the

00:04:50.660 protest uh was first of all what you saw in there was a lot of the federal workers unions uh you

00:04:58.360 know different uh subsets of parties and and philosophies out there and groups that were

00:05:03.620 trying to get their message across we had a conversation you'll see later with one of the

00:05:07.240 communists uh out there um okay protesting uh and it was really obviously well organized very well

00:05:14.740 organized but under heavy police scrutiny yeah so let me uh show you one other little piece of video

00:05:20.920 so now there's a huge protest going on and a parade has gone around the convention center

00:05:26.120 where all of the protesters organized themselves into a single parade it was quite remarkable and

00:05:32.680 they made their way around the building it felt like a mardi gras new orleans kind of a parade

00:05:37.420 more than a protest like it was very well organized everyone had smiles on their faces

00:05:41.040 there as you can see from the video there's dogs there's a little bit of everything they're

00:05:44.360 dressed up in outfits it's fun that one of the best mark carney heads i think i'll ever see in

00:05:48.760 my life uh mardi gras style and then right at three o'clock this mere minutes ago communists

00:05:55.360 religions unions workers educators there was a vast amount of them behind me

00:06:02.640 but the one thing that i can say since it's been cleared out they had the best mark kearney head

00:06:08.020 of all you know brady you looked you looked and i think you maybe felt a little lonely out there

00:06:12.760 i felt a little lonely um usually when you see something get cleared out that fast there's tear

00:06:17.020 gas still lingering in the air um but it as nice as those people were it seems like the actual

00:06:22.540 removal of them was probably pretty nice as well yeah we were only gone for 10 minutes and came

00:06:26.820 back and the entire as you can see i was the only person left in the entire park i kept thinking as

00:06:32.160 we shot that little bit with brady showing himself alone in the park there that we're going to be

00:06:36.260 removed there's no way we're supposed to be at some point yeah but the protest promptly ended

00:06:42.140 as the prime minister arrived so he was not faced with any of the protests no okay so this it looks

00:06:48.660 like kind of like a john wick movie tell you truth where all of a sudden you snap your fingers and

00:06:52.760 everyone just goes stage right but paul it's a little weird exactly like that yeah we don't want

00:06:59.980 anybody in the square here comes the king so now so let me just so just recap because i'm listening

00:07:05.580 to you guys as you travel you know it's kind of funny because i'm like so you know when i get a

00:07:10.020 break from the stuff i'm working on what's going on oh there's a protest going on here but it's

00:07:15.540 very organized. So when I'm looking at that, I'm thinking that's pretty organized, right?

00:07:19.440 Like you said, they have their dogs. Yeah. Was there coffee served? I don't know how else it

00:07:31.260 could have been organized more, more peacefully. It was water handed out. Like it was, it was

00:07:36.440 really nice. Yeah. It was really nice. Gone. Gone. Instantly. Like you, like you threw down

00:07:41.760 the batman smoke bomb and by the time it cleared everything we heard the horns blasting for the 0.62

00:07:46.220 arrival of the king yes and and protesters gone and the so that was an interesting oh it's an

00:07:54.460 interesting little experience that we had there but overall uh the convention center was alive

00:08:00.120 with activity oh it was so it was so much of a contrast from calgary like the energy the youth

00:08:05.760 seeing that much youth around um it looked like a college campus yeah right well you know let's

00:08:12.240 and i wanted to kind of do the comparison because the purposes of the two conventions i think were

00:08:17.940 different a little bit absolutely yeah i think on purpose the conservative convention was actually

00:08:23.540 put together just to get him a vote of confidence yes or no on the ballot paper yeah so let's

00:08:28.800 everyone get here and you know they even wrote you know if you know do you yes you agree pierre

00:08:34.640 should be you know the way they even staged the question so people were kind of directed to

00:08:38.980 you know just tick yes and let him move on it almost felt like a formality like it had to be

00:08:43.440 done not that they wanted a bit of a fundraiser where you got to vote well i think after the

00:08:47.460 election you know they're they had to do it and they had to get a they wanted to get a overwhelming

00:08:52.540 majority so they could show that he had support so they you know they weren't looking for huge

00:08:57.480 numbers to show up they weren't looking for large debate over issues they were just looking to get

00:09:02.000 to the vote do the vote and get out of there so it was kind of as soon as the vote happened it was

00:09:06.480 like speech okay wrap up everybody's at the casino yeah let's go to the casino and have a drink and

00:09:11.160 then let's get on a plane and get the hell out of here right you know thank you for coming and

00:09:15.140 placing your vote for me great description that's how that's how it felt very much and not a lot of

00:09:20.220 discussion about what went on in the uh delegate meetings and the policy meetings and all that

00:09:28.080 sort of stuff. It was all kind of kept, I guess, underwrapped. It felt a little like

00:09:33.080 a little cultish, to be honest with you, that if you were in, you were in. If you weren't,

00:09:39.280 you weren't. Of course, we weren't. And I'll get to this, but we're two for two, Paul. We

00:09:44.640 got kicked out of the conservative convention and we got kicked out of the liberal convention.

00:09:51.260 We walked ourselves out. We put ourselves in the situation.

00:09:54.360 Really, a young man named Anthony, I believe, walked us out, as I recall.

00:09:58.540 Thanks, Anthony.

00:09:59.080 You're very kind to us.

00:10:00.260 In fact, it was an easygoing experience, even that.

00:10:04.460 But, you know, that we are not traditional media is definitely something we taste everywhere we go now.

00:10:10.120 No matter how kind we are or what our mission is, people at the party level are frightened of what will end up out there on nontraditional media.

00:10:21.860 So I will say to that group, this is what we're doing.

00:10:25.360 If you like it, great.

00:10:26.260 If you don't want us there, it doesn't matter because we go anyway,

00:10:30.160 and we still talk to the people that are in attendance,

00:10:32.640 which I think is the most important group.

00:10:34.620 I don't want to leave the little bit of bait out there saying that we got

00:10:36.660 kicked out without actually reeling in this fish and explaining it.

00:10:39.660 So we had spent the day.

00:10:41.200 Brady got into the fountain, okay?

00:10:44.420 So we had spent the day doing what we set out to do,

00:10:47.640 not to be aggressive with media, not to say, hey, everybody,

00:10:50.720 look at us we're here we just wanted to go and ask these questions like mike had said the question

00:10:55.540 was if you had one question for our prime minister what would you ask him yeah we were asking delegates

00:11:00.460 and supporters of the liberal party what what that question would be so we felt like we had

00:11:04.660 gotten our day done uh mark kearney's now rolled into town like i said the protests are cleared out

00:11:08.940 myself and mike kind of lonely actually everybody's gone inside everyone's inside and we're just no

00:11:13.880 protesters left we can't buy any people any more coffees we got all the coffees nobody's gone so

00:11:19.280 the next step would be well let's try and buy our way in well we couldn't do that so we just walked

00:11:24.760 in um past security and just walked in and once myself and Mike started filming some stuff in

00:11:31.260 that area which you can see here once we got done filming that I looked at Mike and said you know I

00:11:35.920 feel like we're the only two people in this entire area out of the hundreds of people that are here

00:11:40.180 right now that don't have badges maybe we should go because CSIS is starting to look at us like

00:11:45.260 we're starting to see some suits and people kind of walking around who are these guys that is

00:11:48.680 literally word for word what brady said hey do you notice everybody else has badges i was like oh

00:11:55.800 yeah okay i don't think we're supposed to be here maybe we should have went through the metal

00:11:59.080 detector um so then we go and find uh the media table which mike i don't know if you want to

00:12:05.420 elaborate on why this was weird but the media table the media table was behind the security

00:12:10.380 in a zone where media couldn't actually get to without a delegate badge so unless you were

00:12:15.040 pre-approved they got a badge sent to you in the mail or whatever the case is yeah maybe it was

00:12:19.080 issued before but don't come now it's the last day nothing on the media table one poor individual

00:12:24.620 there who then gets approached by brady and i saying hey so they won't sell us a badge and we

00:12:31.640 kind of want to go inside and see the prime minister so can we have media passes now this

00:12:36.800 astute individual anthony well done said and i quote why don't you guys have badges we said

00:12:45.200 Well, I said, and maybe this was not wise.

00:12:48.120 I said, patches, we don't need no stinking patches.

00:12:51.560 And he said, well, you actually do.

00:12:53.600 I have to escort you out.

00:12:55.220 And that was the end of our tour.

00:12:56.540 But we did, as Brady pointed out, have a really interesting day of talking to people.

00:13:02.360 A couple of things that I want to note.

00:13:04.320 One is, while everybody had something positive in their heart to take them to that convention,

00:13:10.560 Right. Everybody we spoke to had a message for the prime minister that was very much their own.

00:13:16.580 This individual wants to talk a little bit about where are we getting the dollars from to go to war?

00:13:24.340 That question would be, where do you intend on getting all the money for the military expenditures you're planning on in this budget and future budgets?

00:13:33.120 Yeah. And so there you go. One of the comments, by the way, I love on on this piece of video.

00:13:38.860 It made me laugh really hard.

00:13:40.760 Communists?

00:13:41.940 Protesting communists?

00:13:43.040 Okay.

00:13:43.840 So that was, feel free to comment.

00:13:46.800 But that was, you know, so we got, that's a very interesting perspective.

00:13:53.020 We got a communist saying, okay, well, you know what, we all have different things.

00:13:56.940 But I am a Canadian, and I'm curious, if we have to up our 2% to appreciate into NATO,

00:14:03.700 and we've made all of these commitments, where exactly is the money coming from?

00:14:08.860 right that's a pretty serious question uh now here's an actual supporter of uh of our prime

00:14:16.060 minister of mark carney and the party and uh they have a question as well the first question i would

00:14:21.820 ask is i would appreciate a rationale behind allowing their lady to join caucus um pretty

00:14:28.380 frankly caught my intention when she joined caucus she uh has continuously voted to uh 0.99

00:14:34.300 heat conversion therapy's eagle in the past has said some rather obnoxious things when it comes to

00:14:40.300 scientific misinformation and even ran previously to the leader of the conservative party

00:14:45.420 and her writing she won by over 50 to the conservatives so it certainly caught me as

00:14:50.620 by surprise when she crossed over to the liberal party a moment right out of today's stories and

00:14:56.940 headlines there's a liberal saying to us mark carney what are you doing bringing this person

00:15:03.260 over and allowing them to cross the floor with regard to maryland gladu yeah so once again

00:15:10.100 guys what we're seeing is a party that is not necessarily um in line with everything that the

00:15:18.940 prime minister is doing and you actually did some uh backroom checking on what was going on behind

00:15:24.440 the scenes yes yes it was a very festive affair but behind the scenes there was a certain amount

00:15:29.600 of dissent and a lot of disagreement yep so uh various reports um and various insiders i'm not

00:15:35.960 going to out anybody i've put this information out there that inside of these meetings on friday

00:15:40.620 and what topics would be discussed that the youth movement so the youth movement for five ten years

00:15:45.780 inside of the liberal uh liberal party here have been told that we want to be the economy friendly

00:15:51.700 we have to be green movements and carbon taxes and all of these things and now that the talking

00:15:57.360 points were more centrist and based on economy and resources that this new young group actually

00:16:02.620 had a problem with no what are you and they started a bit of a tiff nothing there was no

00:16:06.980 chairs being thrown like previous conventions and things like that but there was a definitely a

00:16:11.680 descent from the young group towards the older group and the traditional liberals saying what

00:16:16.200 are you doing you're steering so far off of what we're our mission statement is like yeah what's

00:16:21.380 happening here so there's been a lot of fighting going on this weekend in montreal uh amongst the

00:16:26.040 And the youth were having their own election on the floor while we were there to find the group that would represent the youth in Canada in the Liberal Party.

00:16:36.700 And their tacticians as a group put together really good campaigns for both of the groups that we saw.

00:16:45.800 And both of them were very, very liberal oriented.

00:16:50.680 In other words, they wanted to pull away.

00:16:52.760 They wanted to see the prime minister pull away from the center.

00:16:56.040 which I like to point out is difficult in times like this.

00:17:01.100 But it seems to me that the rhetoric or the philosophies that they've been imparted on within them have only that to say.

00:17:11.080 We need to save the environment. We need to put special interests first.

00:17:14.960 We need to make sure that students are cared for in a better manner.

00:17:20.200 Things that you would expect youth to come out with.

00:17:22.880 But they feel, I think, a little defied by the prime minister.

00:17:26.040 Yeah, well, we actually sat down with one of the youths, and we'll take a look at that note.

00:17:30.400 One question you would take to the prime minister.

00:17:34.100 One question I would take.

00:17:35.980 How would he, as an older gentleman, as a new politician, engage with you?

00:17:41.980 Because we're on the ground, us boots on the ground, we can only do so much as young people.

00:17:47.980 But we need help from the top party brass, from the older liberals to kind of mentor us and help us and sort of teach us what to do.

00:17:56.040 so yeah the even the youth like i said from the very beginning i love seeing youth involved in

00:18:01.340 politics and being out there and having energy as you could tell that young gentleman was excited

00:18:05.400 to be a part of the new liberal party the young liberals right um we didn't see any of that at

00:18:11.300 the conservative convention so it was refreshing to see that well can i throw just and before you

00:18:15.600 move on it yeah you know it's interesting again the different uh setup or dynamics at the two

00:18:21.220 two events that i noted as talking to you and attending one conservatives tend to use influencers

00:18:27.600 they tend to use that as their marketing campaign so they bring in a bunch of kind of

00:18:32.420 paid influencers they they put them uh out there they get people to follow them based on sort of

00:18:38.980 influencer tactics right yeah one-liner clickbait yeah a lot of that a lot of that is kind of the

00:18:45.560 way they go at it the liberals do it a different way right they get to they get their youth to buy

00:18:50.380 into the climate agenda the parents the the liberal parents of the kids kind of indoctrinate

00:18:57.340 them into this thinking so you know to leave that is a very big uh directional course change because

00:19:05.420 all these these kids get into play liberals traditionally from my experience especially on

00:19:10.780 the federal side they're all very good at following a line you know you go to a conservative convention

00:19:16.220 and quite frankly no one can line up no one can find a lineup no one wants to follow each other

00:19:21.260 no one wants to go in this oh this was orderly man right you go to a you go to a liberal convention

00:19:25.660 man they get right in line they follow each other they they you know they sing the same hymn they do

00:19:31.440 this but they're singing the same hymn based on a doctrine right as soon as that doctrine changes

00:19:37.560 that's a challenge right because all of a sudden you've kind of brought these kids and these people

00:19:41.800 into this over the years telling them this is the way it should be because you're saving the world

00:19:45.560 for them and then they show up and it's a completely different story yeah that leads to

00:19:49.720 the glad do and the way you're actually forming the majority to the challenge because now you're

00:19:54.040 starting to bring people who don't have or haven't been indoctrinated or the same issues they're not

00:19:58.780 basically following the same policies ideas thoughts insights so now you're bringing a whole

00:20:05.380 group of people and they don't follow that so that's a challenge because you know you can feel

00:20:09.200 that i mean i think that uh there was a lot there was a youthful element to this group uh that's

00:20:14.980 one thing i also noticed the age the demographic of people that attended this conference as opposed

00:20:20.620 to the alberta conference with uh with the conservatives i mean it was night and day

00:20:26.200 oh completely night and day like even when we were very very little youth kids represented

00:20:30.640 oh there's so many it looked like a university but i don't know if you noticed and it's kind

00:20:35.720 of funny because i was watching uh a couple mainstream channels over the weekend that did

00:20:40.920 right after the speech talked about it the conservative reps that come on speak much

00:20:46.380 different than even the liberal the the liberal representatives that come on and talk about the

00:20:51.360 speech and the conference and everything convention are very polished very developed they actually

00:20:56.880 they they a lot of buzzwords they speak you know again the way they're uh the conservative group

00:21:03.080 there are representatives that come on quite frankly a little more guttural uh you know they

00:21:08.480 hit it square on it's a different if it's it's just a different way of approaching it but it's

00:21:14.020 it's a little more hardcore on the conservative side it's got a lot of uh buzzwords and speak on

00:21:20.120 the liberal side well that's where the buzzwords and speak uh and get developed yeah that's what

00:21:24.600 they literally developed on the liberal side yeah exactly and you watch it you're watching the two

00:21:29.520 parties trying to explain the the speech on tv and you're like wow were they even at the same

00:21:33.720 speech we did have an interesting experience and i'll share it i know brady probably would feel

00:21:38.020 maybe like we shouldn't sorry if i'm doing this yeah we approached one of the youth uh she was

00:21:43.300 running for uh one of the positions in the in the youth party and she was up for election and i said

00:21:50.840 would you like to speak to us for a few minutes and her reaction was to look at brady and i like

00:21:55.820 up and down why would i speak to you guys and she walked away and i thought to myself oh yeah

00:22:03.900 we are two middle-aged white guys standing here asking you to tell us about your platform we are

00:22:09.260 the wearing true patriot love sweaters you have in mind all right i got and therefore you know i

00:22:16.040 can't even speak to you and i thought to myself that's indicative of a liberal party that i knew

00:22:22.680 previously that's a shunned liberal party member i mean you don't get that from them but what was

00:22:28.160 the nice gentleman behind oh and then and then what did he say right he said oh yeah don't worry

00:22:32.980 she's not going to win i'll speak to you so you know like there was recognition there at the same

00:22:37.000 time uh i don't know if she won i hope i hope she had a good uh convention either way i hope she

00:22:41.320 didn't but the one thing i will reiterate is we have a party that has delegates that went out of

00:22:48.040 their way paid money went inside spent three days spent money on a hotel much like we saw in calgary

00:22:54.380 and in the end they're not a hundred percent drinking the kool-aid they're not happy right

00:23:01.880 now that the prime minister is moving to the center they're not entirely happy that they are

00:23:07.400 seeing people join the party the big tent discussion was a big one we heard there too

00:23:13.700 yeah not everybody loves the big tent theory where everybody can come into the tent because now in

00:23:19.460 the tent they have conservatives that are going to pull their prime minister and their leader

00:23:23.980 closer to the center and further from the left that was noted one piece of footage that i have

00:23:29.500 share right now is we actually ran into mark carney's biggest supporter like his biggest fan

00:23:35.660 and you'll see this right here i can tell you something about mark carney by god grace i'm a

00:23:41.500 believer i believe in i'm a christian i'm a believer god give us the right prime minister

00:23:46.380 on right time yeah he's doing great he's doing great i will tell you my history you know said

00:23:54.140 i was a conservative before whenever i took the conservative membership i took it for

00:23:59.180 five years so once mark carney get in the way he is doing it i cancel my conservative membership

00:24:07.340 i'm working for the liberal he's having a great vision about canada great vision i can tell you

00:24:13.740 something 21st century belongs to canada so that gentleman had just announced that he had left the

00:24:21.100 conservative party he believes in everything mark carney's doing and he thinks that this is the right

00:24:25.500 time kind of presented by the universe for mark carney he is here to save canada well as you heard

00:24:30.300 him say you know uh you know he's an immigrant to canada he he he bought into what what the

00:24:35.980 conservatives were saying because he wanted to be part of a a more um economically focused and

00:24:42.780 more fiscally responsible but in the end he just feels that mark carney is doing more for the

00:24:49.100 country than pure poly of would do uh in speaking to him afterward he was even saying you know i

00:24:54.620 I don't know what Pierre Paliyev's stand is anymore.

00:24:56.860 If I understood what his platform was, but he just wants to argue.

00:25:02.220 And I think that was his.

00:25:05.240 Now, we had a good discussion about that because he pointed out as well

00:25:08.120 that over the last two weeks, Pierre Paliyev has been out there

00:25:11.880 saying some pretty powerful things, you know,

00:25:15.260 trying to gain back the steam that he had leading into the last election.

00:25:22.180 I don't know if that's going to work.

00:25:23.680 we've got a bit of a distance to go here and this is why it was good for us our team to go down and

00:25:28.800 talk to the everybody it doesn't matter what party it is i'll go to the ndb convention i'll go to the

00:25:33.580 green party convention start a purple one i'll show up there i just want to know what everybody's

00:25:37.320 thinking because the only way we can get actual truths and actual you know situations dealt with

00:25:42.860 is by talking to each other and trying to figure it out i know that sounds cliche but this is what

00:25:47.020 we're doing so here's the other thing i noticed and i want to point this out to canadians that

00:25:51.040 want to make a difference protesting is not a bad thing um it requires some protesting out there

00:25:57.760 you can go through many ways many many means to do it canada you are the most polite

00:26:03.720 protesters i have ever seen and you're not out there in droves no it might require that you're

00:26:13.300 out there in droves to be honest with you there was a very orderly group of dedicated people

00:26:17.620 that were set to be there but the average canadian did not show up to where the prime minister would

00:26:24.120 be laying out his platform and talking to his party that to me is an interesting statement on

00:26:31.140 where mark carney is with canadians he seems nobody seems to really want to i guess get involved

00:26:37.280 and there was a a decent protest but it wasn't tens of thousands of people well and i thought

00:26:43.000 because you know the the provincial election is coming up in october of this year and i thought

00:26:47.880 when you guys headed there i thought oh for sure there'd be a lot of people mauling around

00:26:52.040 because the the the gentleman who's representing the party quebecois he's actually looking for

00:26:58.360 separation so that's his main platform idea so i thought oh this is going to be interesting

00:27:02.360 christophe what's that gentleman's name again paul saint-pierre paul saint-pierre

00:27:07.320 There you go.

00:27:08.320 Thank you.

00:27:09.320 Sorry, I didn't mean to shout that at you.

00:27:10.320 Paul St-Pierre.

00:27:11.320 No, no, but so Paul St-Pierre is looking for, you know, the separation for the Parti

00:27:16.440 Quebecois.

00:27:17.440 And so I thought for sure there'd be a lot of people mauling around talking about their

00:27:20.440 issues, a chance to get their issues.

00:27:23.440 Maybe there was, but we didn't run into them.

00:27:25.440 Well, you would have seen them, right?

00:27:26.880 If they were, if they were there, they were inside the building.

00:27:29.500 The issues were the issues that you saw out there many times before it was unions demanding

00:27:35.980 better wages uh and by the way we have an episode coming up on minimum wage i think you're going to

00:27:41.940 want to see yeah um you know that sort of labor movement was there a little bit of representation

00:27:47.620 for different parties that were small the you know the the communist party which is trying to

00:27:52.680 make a comeback among the youth in montreal um but the truth is there was not a huge amount of

00:28:02.200 uh quebec only sentiment which i expected as well right yeah oh interesting well my final thoughts

00:28:09.820 on on this whole thing um is actually has it's kind of a segue away from the actual convention

00:28:14.800 itself but how beautiful montreal really is montreal's parliament buildings montreal's

00:28:20.760 architecture down there beautiful very very wait wait wait there's a butt coming i hear a i know

00:28:27.980 you well enough brady to know this kind of complimentary setup can only really have a

00:28:34.220 hammer at the end so what's the hammer can we spend less money on changing light bulbs maintenance

00:28:38.500 and more on power blasting just hire two guys to go around and power blast this city these things

00:28:43.540 are rotting apart the flag bowls have so much um dog urine on it that is creating murals they look

00:28:49.420 like van gogh paintings on the flagpoles like come on guys clean the city up it's beautiful i really

00:28:55.060 think that there's something to be said there a montreal it has such old buildings and they

00:28:59.220 require such maintenance yeah but as we were walking around brady's like oh for the love of

00:29:04.720 god i just love architecture when i see you know rotten water stains from 20 years ago i'm like

00:29:11.560 this can be fixed with a power blaster um i wouldn't mind uh giving a shout out to deb

00:29:16.920 schultz who did everything she could in her power to try to get us media passes but we do not qualify

00:29:21.960 we are we are we're too non-biased i guess we are renegades paul did you know no but the good news

00:29:30.060 is the experience that we had kind of gave both of us an understanding of what it was like to be

00:29:36.660 a delegate at a liberal convention and this time around frankly it was a message to the prime

00:29:44.580 minister directly from his party there was not a lot of rah rah rah i think everybody's happy with

00:29:49.760 their prime minister but the party wants to see some changes well if you could let's throw this

00:29:55.480 question back to us just to close this out if you could ask our prime minister one question paul

00:29:59.600 what would you ask him uh well i think it's similar to our interview we did on friday it's

00:30:05.340 about the constitutional issue and how we're going to address it right now because i think you know

00:30:09.220 we've talked about it many times we have alberta and quebec sitting now talking about leaving

00:30:15.100 canada you know they're talking about referendums and uh with everything going on in the world and

00:30:21.340 the changes and our reliance on resources oil gas minerals mining you know what are we going to do

00:30:28.860 to keep them in the fold and and how are we going to make that work and and i think it's a big issue

00:30:33.100 right now i think you can focus on majority all you want i think coming up in the next six months

00:30:37.820 they're going to be on the table and we're going to be having the conversation so that's the key

00:30:41.980 thing because Canada without those two provinces is not a Canada. It's not Canada. Mike, what would

00:30:46.500 you ask the Prime Minister? I would ask the Prime Minister a pint of Guinness or Molson Canadian.

00:30:54.360 What's it going to be this summer? Because I think we need you here at home, even though Europe might

00:30:59.560 be calling you on summer vacation. I think there's a lot to be straightened out here at home. So I'm

00:31:05.220 just curious. Are you taking summer vacation? Are you going to pull all this together? Well, my

00:31:09.840 question was the same before the liberal convention and it's the same after the liberal convention

00:31:14.020 um who do you know on your rolodex that you can call right now to release the full epstein files

00:31:19.640 that's not a bad question what we we forgot about we did we take a break from that for some reason

00:31:25.960 you know it made me laugh when trump said that he was giving an extension on the deadline to iran

00:31:31.780 one of the senators stood up and said oh that's great so while we got a couple weeks off here

00:31:37.340 How about we open up those Epstein files, huh?

00:31:39.820 Like, it's so funny. 0.99

00:31:41.440 As much as it's a joke, it actually is true.

00:31:44.140 Yeah?

00:31:44.480 Yeah.

00:31:44.720 Let's get to work, guys.

00:31:45.920 Okay.

00:31:46.420 It was a good experience.

00:31:48.200 I loved it.

00:31:49.380 Montreal is a great place.

00:31:51.400 It was good to understand what's going on there.

00:31:53.900 I think our prime minister has some challenges within his own party ahead of him.

00:31:59.240 And if it's a majority, even more so.

00:32:01.160 There's a lot of pressure associated with that.

00:32:03.080 I wonder if he can herd these kittens, to be honest with you.

00:32:06.020 one more controversial statement you guys might get mad at me but smoked meat is overrated

00:32:10.500 how dare you that's insanity what is wrong with you i just wanted the comment section to go nuts

00:32:16.660 paul next time you and i from montreal yeah i forget brady's at home yeah all right thanks for

00:32:20.740 joining us we'll catch you next time and if you see us at your convention you might want to show

00:32:25.300 us the door we are very adept at taking that direction thanks talk to you

00:32:37.620 patriotic means looking out for each other and fixing things together true patriotism

00:32:43.860 is being in the country you love surrounded by people you love and great weather being

00:32:48.500 a patriot is being a part of your community and caring for it it doesn't matter who you are or

00:32:52.740 where you're from patriotism is the one thing we all share it's okay to be critical of government

00:32:59.220 and still be a patriot it's gratitude to your country of course i'm a patriot i'm

00:33:03.780 I'm Canadian, it's my home.

00:33:05.660 Well, actually, true patriot love is the mission.
