Transcript
00:00:00.000
this has been an historic week not just for our prime minister mark carney but for all the wrong
00:00:10.560
reasons for u.s president donald trump and leaders of the world of the world economic forum and the
00:00:15.320
fallout is just being digested to talk more about it mike wicks and paul micucci paul how you doing
00:00:20.340
good good jim what a what a week no one could have predicted what we've witnessed this week
00:00:25.860
so the interesting part you know after so after the speech and i know you guys talked about the
00:00:30.980
speech so i won't go back into the speech because that's we got so much love from our viewers over
00:00:35.980
that one it's okay we can still have our opinions no no that was that was painful but after the speech
00:00:44.160
um i thought it was interesting um the president trump went back and he actually took questions
00:00:50.260
and you know unbelievable resilience this man has it's just unbelievable he then came back on
00:00:58.660
the stage and actually got the sharpie took it out right and he said now we're going to sign
00:01:05.420
the board of peace agreement right which i don't even know what the board of peace agreement is to
00:01:12.700
tell you the truth other than it has something to do with the contribution of a billion dollars which he
00:01:16.340
at one point said that prime minister carney was on it and then prime minister carney came back and
00:01:21.460
said hey time out i had no idea what this is more details details are always good right so he came
00:01:27.960
back but then the funny thing is he he jumped and i'll jimmy i'll let you read him out but he jumped on
00:01:33.520
he jumped on the stage and if for any of you get a chance go watch it because it looked like uh 25 is
00:01:40.820
it 25 of them something like that it's around 25 of them they they actually look shell-shocked
00:01:46.660
it's almost like it's almost like someone uh came and not tapped them and they're like i don't know
00:01:52.020
if i want to be on the stage because after a speech they're like maybe maybe i don't want to be the
00:01:55.700
guy on but now it's picture photos taken photos taken and they're all sitting there like like this and
00:02:01.300
then nobody really looked comfortable sitting there right no no they didn't look comfortable at all and
00:02:05.220
then quite frankly the the countries that were on the stage were armenia uzbekistan uh paraguay mongolia kosovo
00:02:14.420
kazakhstan bulgaria it's countries like that so you know so he got the sharpie out and he did the
00:02:21.860
the big smile with the the signing and the pen had them in there okay so i'm like oh that's a little
00:02:28.180
odd right don't know this list of countries i'm sorry sorry paul to interrupt this list of countries
00:02:34.820
seems like a club that canada probably would not necessarily be a member of well we were already on the
00:02:40.740
plane right like his plane was coming in we were we were waiting to go out think about it so we were
00:02:45.140
gone yeah um canada france italy you know big major countries all the big major uh you know
00:02:54.260
japan south carolina none of them were on there no no all the major economies all the major players
00:03:00.100
they're not there no because they don't know well and that's the thing like so now after a speech
00:03:05.460
you're kind of like oh i gotta have a little my you know my suspicion meter my wrist meter has gone
00:03:12.020
up yeah so a lot of countries like oh time right the the days of kind of blind trust are all gone
00:03:18.340
because you know the goodwill is gone so so that's why you're not getting people to sign so i'm thinking
00:03:23.860
okay that's odd odd countries looking all nervous i guess it's over um and then all of a sudden we see
00:03:31.060
well we signed a deal or we're no not we signed to do it looks like we have a deal for greenland oh
00:03:37.460
yeah right yeah for the basis of the mineral where did you get that information and i'm like you do like
00:03:43.300
holy cow i'm like wow that's and i and i was driving and i'm like he's amazing what a what a negotiating
00:03:49.300
strategy right right you know he beat them down and then quite frankly they surrendered to him and gave
00:03:54.020
him greenland like wow that's crazy however however yeah yeah so there's more to the story
00:04:00.260
as they say story so there there's no agreement nothing was uh given in detail they're still
00:04:06.340
negotiating there's little things that are leaking out now so we're starting to see little leaks about
00:04:11.700
how it's a land lease and how you know and i guess that's where he was uh going when he said it was
00:04:17.860
a long-term deal the price would be good it wasn't what he anticipated paying but he never said if
00:04:23.780
he had purchased greenland so and then so true he does have a way of leaving words out of a sentence
00:04:31.540
that are kind of key yeah that make you a liar if you leave them out yeah like a lease and owning
00:04:37.460
greece greenland are completely different and and it's amazing because then you're watching i get home
00:04:43.140
and right away i throw in the our you know canadian news little coverage i throw on fox just to see
00:04:48.580
what they're saying and it's kind of funny and they're like brilliant negotiating strategy the
00:04:53.540
way he puts this in place the way he browbeats them and then pulls back and takes and i'm like
00:04:58.980
i'm like i don't think that's true at all i think that's just like that that's just trying to what
00:05:03.380
he wants you to think yeah i guess he wants you to think but yeah you know i i don't believe that's
00:05:07.940
you know back to this list but even you ever see a bully uh remember the bullies in the schoolyard yeah
00:05:14.020
i mean you were the bully right i was bullied me too remember the group of guys that used to hang
00:05:19.060
out with the bully they're all they're a mismatch of uglies yeah yeah they didn't have a huge amount
0.90
00:05:23.140
of brains they were just following the toughest guy in the room that feels like what he did was he
0.96
00:05:27.940
got a b-list of players no offense to any of these countries yeah to make it look like he had enormous
00:05:32.980
support this is another example of that right another example of taking the truth and twisting it
00:05:39.300
around and the rest of the world waiting to go hold on a second
00:05:44.020
we gotta fact check this yeah i don't even know what this is think about this gentleman it wasn't
00:05:48.180
that long ago when the president of the united states was at a forum like this and had an initiative
00:05:55.620
you would have the who's who of nations lining up oh yeah that was that was part for the course and
00:06:01.300
you wanted your world leader your prime minister president to be part of this and now the i mean this
00:06:08.020
is the whole crux of this week is the the chasm and the relationship between the two like the rest
00:06:14.900
of the world in the united states the rest of the big players in the world and how they repair that
00:06:19.140
gavin newsom came on um after trump and after mark carney and talked about how much he loved mark carney's
00:06:25.060
speech and he he's talking about the damage being done to america the american republic and the long-term
00:06:31.140
damage and no matter who is president how they can repair it and it it's not going to be a couple years
00:06:36.660
into the new administration it could take a decade yeah uh that's that makes perfect sense to me that
00:06:43.220
he's laying groundwork that is almost a waste of time now for everybody and and these deals that he's
00:06:48.420
making are yeah there he has a lease agreement already doesn't he with greenland they have a
00:06:53.380
long-term lease agreement 51 so he's not he's not really doing anything there except making noise
00:07:00.660
that he's protecting america or protecting the hemisphere well let's wait and see right so i think a
00:07:05.700
little bit of wait and see but the interesting part so the you know maybe he does have something
00:07:09.620
he needs he's trying to uh finish it finish the negotiations you know uh mark wright of nato was
00:07:16.340
the one who was apparently champing it and so that was you know the scuttlebutt that came out of last
00:07:21.060
night then you know as we're all going to sleep and getting up this morning we're hearing that there's
00:07:25.220
an emergency meeting of of the eu to talk about this speech and also to talk about nato i don't know
00:07:32.740
what that means and and uh greenland not iceland greenland but you know to talk about it a good
00:07:38.660
distinction yeah so to talk about it and and so we're going to find out now so you know jump the
00:07:46.180
gun all over the place you know signing things and you know trying to leave saying you have a deal
00:07:52.580
okay got it right so you know all those things are happening and then i start to think to myself okay
00:07:59.860
we you know our prime minister went and uh gave a great speech i think we all agree yeah it was
00:08:06.180
you know the speech itself was written and i i'm probably the most critical i think of all of us
00:08:11.540
of the pr that our prime minister gets from his team so i don't think he gets great pr a lot of the
00:08:16.900
time on many shows i've said you know i think of a lot of his challenges since the beginning of his
00:08:22.740
taking office has been just piss poor pr yeah no yeah i agree it's just been terrible they don't
00:08:29.460
communicate with us what's being done exactly and i think that would help substantially or help quite
00:08:35.140
a bit if they would do so you know and i took so then i last night i was going through and i was
00:08:39.700
i was watching the speech again and some great lines like whoever wrote it you know uh this is a
00:08:45.780
rupture not a transition uh stop living within a lie uh integration is now a weapon strategic autonomy
00:08:56.020
is understandable but dangerous if everyone builds fortresses middle powers aren't helpless
00:09:02.820
strength at home equals freedom abroad like these are even the hair on my my hands are starting to
00:09:08.340
come up right nostalgia is not a strategy canada is taking the sign out of the window like these
00:09:15.620
are just like great lines so whoever you know the the speech writer whoever wrote it awesome job so
00:09:22.580
now i'm thinking i'm kind of fast forwarding i'm thinking okay if i'm sitting i'm back in canada
00:09:27.060
now you know he's landed he's with his cabinet today i'm back in canada he's probably thinking
00:09:33.620
himself okay you know i went there and i did my speech and i acknowledged that you know globalism
00:09:42.180
as it was with the u.s in play is dead because that's you know he's i think there's no doubt if
00:09:49.620
anyone doubts the u.s position at this point well then you you're not leaving yeah you're not all there
00:09:56.980
that'd be possible you're not all there right he's made it the one thing i got about trump that i do
00:10:01.620
give him credit for is that where it may be uh very harsh you totally understand his position so
00:10:11.540
he's you know he's numerous repetitive times he's repeated we need greenland we need greenland we have
00:10:17.860
to have greenland yeah like he does kind of hammer it seems juvenile oh it's a style but it's a style
00:10:25.140
yeah it's a style it's it can be harsh but but he has fully communicated that trade with us trade
00:10:32.340
with the world is changing it's nationalistic it's globalism in his mind is dead he's not
00:10:37.540
going to participate in it he's not going to participate in uh the green agenda he's not so
00:10:43.300
he's kind of done it given us a laundry list of all the things that he's out on and paul rook it that is
00:10:49.220
the point like you nailed it right there because for so long especially the first term oh that's
00:10:54.340
just trump oh you know he's he used to be in the apprentice he's just joking but you you just
00:10:58.820
encapsulated it no it's not a joke anymore no it's not just trump this is who he is and it's he just
00:11:04.580
laid it bare this week it's a thick fat document available for anybody so let's deal yeah let's deal
0.94
00:11:10.500
with him yeah as the threat that he is if you believe that and it's not just him tweeting silly
00:11:15.860
stuff and joking anymore right so then so you know and this is where i started going in my mind
00:11:21.940
trying to figure out so not number one our prime minister comes back gets with his cabinet because
00:11:27.060
i think he gets you know obviously from his speech uh he's an intelligent man he does get the fact that
00:11:32.580
he now is with the middle powers or on our own so i think that's you know because you know we as the
00:11:42.340
middle powers have to get together and figure things out well i in my mind again that's a very
00:11:48.820
broad statement so that's assuming so now he's got to assume that the middle powers which he's defining as
00:11:55.460
want to do that well i believe the uk france and italy and countries like that do want to work with him
00:12:02.980
and are quite upset with america and or with the current administration and with donald trump
00:12:09.460
so i think there's a lot of appetite especially with the groundwork laid this week at double
00:12:13.540
switzerland for a lot of these middle power leaders and middle power countries to to work together for
00:12:18.900
their own protection for their own future right well then so then i called mike and i was i was having
00:12:24.020
the conversation but i said this is a great article and you had the clip yeah actually this is uh
00:12:28.820
michelle rempel garner from uh the globe mail uh responding to carny's speech and so carny's speech
00:12:34.900
here's her quote and so carny's speech must not be lauded as a victory in and of itself now he must
00:12:41.060
do something much more difficult deliver concrete practical details on how canada's ruling political
00:12:46.500
class will summon the necessary resolve resources and urgency to break through a decade of inertia
00:12:52.660
and complacency smash through taboos and build a nation that is truly strong self-reliant and independent
00:12:58.980
now that is actually truthful words yeah it's great and it does it's exactly what i was feeling
00:13:04.580
it really what's the next step which is being laid out in quebec city on this thursday with his cabinet
00:13:10.980
yeah yes that's that that's what that's that is that really what's being done he comes home with no
00:13:17.540
potential with so far i don't see a clear vision what he does with alberta there's no firm deals in
00:13:23.460
place from his jaunts around the world that i've heard of no official trade arrangements that benefit
00:13:30.420
canada uh no new projects that he announced have uh really gotten underway and most of them uh it seems
00:13:36.260
like budgeting isn't even complete we've got housing problems inflation and now and we'll talk about this
00:13:42.020
coming up later on the network here we have a six stock market and this is his realm yeah yeah so he's
00:13:49.860
he arrives home to and this is just a short list that came to me as we started the show yeah he's
00:13:55.860
got a lot of challenges to face so i heard a source say the department national offense have been told to
00:14:01.940
gear up for three months of non-stop procurement that this part of this come to jesus meeting with his
00:14:09.460
cabinet after this meeting is to get serious about retooling the military building infrastructure
00:14:15.860
so the roads minister and all this kind of stuff i think i i mean what what else can he do after
00:14:21.780
this meeting and then to that point it's it's creating future jobs current jobs it's the future
00:14:29.620
of canada the new future of canada yeah but it's more now it's it's interesting because you know what
00:14:36.340
michelle was getting at and what i think my head came to right away is okay forget trump you know trump's
00:14:42.820
you know we accept yeah we get it we he said it he's basically said it so now go through our gdp
00:14:51.700
you know because our experts you know they're our number one export trading partner and we're going
00:14:57.860
to have to assume most of that is gone so whether it be you know uh real estate uh finance insurance
00:15:06.900
manufacturing uh retail public administration healthcare construction transportation energy
00:15:13.700
mining and these are all the items that make up a hundred percent of our gdp agricultural defense
00:15:20.660
and accommodations and food services sorry those are all the things that make up a basically our economy
00:15:27.140
he's going to almost have to dissect them individually and say how is this impacted and how do i either
00:15:35.460
recreate it here or reach a trade agreement there or replace it with other new and innovative ways to
00:15:44.100
generate revenue out of this country yeah and and maybe it's not on that list yet but he needs to find
00:15:49.700
them but he but realistically he can't it can't go from what it is now trade-wise the us to zero if
00:15:57.780
american companies need our nickel we'll still sell them nickel oh sure and oil and whatever other goods
00:16:04.580
and services but yeah to your point now there's a new deal with japan now there's a new deal with
00:16:09.540
england now there's a new deal with you name the country to balance out maybe what the less but
00:16:14.660
there's still always going to be a huge amount of trade in the united states of america and it will
00:16:19.460
and resources and that always makes sense but if you look at processed or manufactured items what what
00:16:25.540
what the president is saying what trump is saying is i'm going to replace those so you know like
00:16:29.620
yesterday and it will be easier and they won't have any strings attached you won't have any
00:16:34.660
auto trade he wants to come solely back to the united states right whether food processing uh retail
00:16:41.140
manufacturing all those things he wants to come so if you're going to sell it in the united states
00:16:45.860
you're going to produce it in the united states so and that's what he and okay so real quick yeah
00:16:52.340
you're an american making 35 a year already struggling to pay the bills and now he's doing
00:16:59.460
that so those nikes that are built for pennies in the dollar in vietnam are going to be built in
00:17:04.740
pennsylvania and they're going to cost you triple the price i can't buy new shoes that's going to be a
00:17:08.980
tough sell for a lot of americans who are struggling to pay the rent and feed themselves yeah and they're
00:17:14.420
probably not going to be wearing nikes in the next tent so if he has his vision you know nike will either
00:17:20.020
come home they'll sell them for a higher amount but then you know the guy who's wearing them now
00:17:27.140
because they're coming out of china or whatever yeah won't be wearing nikes anymore he'll be switching
00:17:32.260
to the boxes that the shoes came in or another brand another no-name brand but you know yeah he's
00:17:40.340
that's where he's going with this like he's not the branding of things aren't concerning him he's wanting
00:17:45.700
the manufacturing so from our perspective we got to be dissecting our economy and saying okay
00:17:56.980
where can we go that we can sell our stuff abroad or manufacture it here and there they have the uh
00:18:04.500
they have the information they have the details to do it they would have to in my mind start to create
00:18:11.300
the structure and i think that's where michelle's going she's like okay great now all the money we
00:18:16.740
pay to all these ministers to handle all these uh ministries it's time for you guys to go away and
00:18:23.380
share the plan for each of these gdp items how you're going to look at these impacts so for instance
00:18:29.780
energy then it's imperative we have a pipeline to bc that we can ship heavy crude to south korea japan
00:18:36.500
indonesia and the philippines there's new markets right there yeah that would be that example what
00:18:42.100
you're talking about having said that trump makes it clear in his strategy that dealing outside the
00:18:47.380
hemisphere will not be good for canada right well that's another and boy he's already pissed at
00:18:53.780
canada obviously so how can but wait a sec how could he possibly stop us from selling our oil to asian
00:18:59.780
countries taxing us and tariff but that that is what that is his national strategy yeah uh
00:19:06.500
so that's that's something we have to go have a conversation with so in my mind that's something
00:19:12.660
that's a hurdle that needs to be addressed so that's kind of the elephant in the room right now
00:19:16.740
that no one's talking about you know they've wrote it they've talked about it and they've talked about
00:19:21.060
why so now someone has to go out conversation well you know you've left us here we've got to get to
00:19:27.620
here i have to go and i have to put a overall structural plan in place for my country so with a
00:19:33.380
basically a accountability and a delivery spine that works that makes the ecosystem of canada
00:19:39.060
function so you know it doesn't just stop and become one subsidized group which right maybe maybe
00:19:45.780
you would like but it's really a full project plan with timelines milestones and and basic taking my
00:19:52.100
ministers and taking from probably ministerial sort of oversight to actually implementers right you know
00:20:00.340
so putting people in place that can set up so for tim hodge and the energy minister
00:20:04.740
front and center get the pipeline built go and do it yeah yeah yeah you have so many days here's
00:20:09.780
your assignment execute it fail twice fail twice and there's a new person taking right yeah yeah so
00:20:15.380
it's like one of those like i don't have a choice now i almost have to lay that ground infrastructure
00:20:20.580
minister we're going to build new roads and we're going to build a new power lines and new mass transit
00:20:25.700
subways going to get it built to your point guys both of you you know trump shows up and he's like
00:20:31.700
we're doing this and we've done that and we're doing this oh we're great at that we show up and
00:20:37.140
the rest of the world shows up saying we have to do this in the future there's a real different dialogue
00:20:43.940
going on there trump shows up saying we're doing our strategy yeah the rest of the world shows up and
00:20:50.660
carney frankly one of those it was a very good speech and it was endearing and motivational yes
00:20:56.900
but he didn't sit there and say we've done this to to prepare ourselves we're doing this this this
00:21:01.940
and this to open up the global stage to ourselves we're putting new deals in place that work like
00:21:07.140
this for taxation and we recommend other countries do that what he did was give a lofty spiritual uh
00:21:15.380
discussion what a contrast right so it's interesting you're and it is a little bit it's hard to follow
00:21:21.380
i understand when you're listening to trump but you're you're listening to someone tell stories about
00:21:26.900
things they're actually doing so and it's an it's a contrast because one at one different personalities
00:21:34.020
different business backgrounds different skill sets so you're listening to someone philosophically
00:21:40.500
laying out a theoretical strategy yeah and then you're listening to someone maybe too much so
00:21:47.140
talking about phone calls and granular discussions to cut deals it's very much a doer you know it it
00:21:56.180
very much is different but we now have to gravitate and i'm not i don't want to listen to their
00:22:01.300
phone calls because those are terrible stories but but i do want to start to hear the plan so then so
00:22:08.660
then i kind of fast forward so i'm thinking to myself okay you know we're we're heading to calgary
00:22:13.540
we're going to cover uh you know the uh convention um for the conservative party the federal conservative
00:22:20.100
party and i'm thinking to myself curious to think now because you know maybe when they set their agenda
00:22:27.700
and i think jim we had the agenda somewhere but yeah right here yeah when they set the agenda their
00:22:32.100
their agenda was um very domestic mostly domestic crime crime social policy health education fiscal
00:22:42.180
economy policy agricultural trade you know they're all they're all important i'm not i'm not immigration
00:22:48.980
uh foreign affairs you know there's some national security stuff on there but i'm thinking now that if
00:22:54.500
i'm i'm sitting there and i'm actually leading into this and i'm watching what's going on in the world
00:23:00.900
the key question coming out of this is what would you do different right jim and you know you and i
00:23:07.060
talked about what what is that ending speech so when the conference is over yes and the sound bite
00:23:13.460
speech comes can pierre pauliev give a similar speech to what mark carney did in davos switzerland axe attacks
00:23:22.260
if that if that's his spin i'm being serious mike if he starts falling to the old platitudes from the last
00:23:29.380
election how could not just people there's a lot of people already don't like him but the power brokers
00:23:35.300
the conservative party how would they put their faith in their money behind him if they don't get
00:23:41.220
a big-time performance of the convention why why would you do it and us and also why doesn't their
00:23:47.460
strategy i mean they we received their policy strategy for review by their executive committee
00:23:53.300
mm-hmm it was posted a week ago guys was that right about a week ago we got that strategy so
00:24:02.020
this is pretty current writing it would have been very smart for them to include a strategy of okay
00:24:09.060
how do we use the opposition a to be patriotic at a time we need to and look out for canadians
00:24:15.220
alongside and offer support for our prime minister because that is what it's going to take guys i'm sorry
00:24:20.500
but it is you have to be a little less polarized at the moment to make this country operate and and
00:24:27.860
move forward and then the other thing is why isn't he out there creating this dialogue in those
00:24:35.780
documents on the convention website in social media i'm going to ask around the studio show of hands
00:24:41.620
who's seen a poly of response to what's going on in uh in davos nothing i see not one single hand in
00:24:48.100
the room i saw it from michelle remper garner with that really well written and well thought out
00:24:52.660
article and column that she wrote yeah but but not see the air paulia and many of the other countries
00:24:59.460
at davos had the opposition gavin newsom was there at the absolutely so we didn't see poly of there and
00:25:07.300
and i'm by the way i'm not i'm not out here trying to harp on on uh uh paulia but the the reality is
00:25:14.980
i don't feel like he's really focused on this next major phase for our country mike it's not harping
00:25:21.540
think about what paul said in reading off all the itinerary for the convention this is
00:25:26.740
will the conservative party throw all their chips on the table and their money and their resources
00:25:31.540
and their time to support him in another election because if you do you think you can win fine but if
00:25:38.100
you don't think he can do what carney did in davos if you don't think he is the one if you don't think
00:25:44.180
he could become prime minister well i think this is the time to make the decision well and also jim
00:25:50.500
you know as i've been saying on a few past shows give him the direction you want him to go so yes you
00:25:58.340
know you can't you know you can't uh keep criticizing him you got to actually if you want him to stay as
00:26:04.500
the leader you got to give him some direction so i tried to figure out last night i started kind of
00:26:08.980
typing out saying okay if i'm sitting in their boardroom and i have that white board and i have
00:26:13.620
my strategy team basically around the boardroom table what things am i throwing on the board right
00:26:18.820
so this is the moment to step up and not sit out so right away i'm starting to figure out okay
00:26:24.820
how do we step up how do we get engaged to this plan choose engagement over symbolism so then i'm just
00:26:31.860
writing out okay so let's not he gave a great speech but i'd come out and say like i'm ready
00:26:37.540
to jump in roll up my sleeves and get to work and here's how show canada what a conservative prime
00:26:43.620
minister looks like abroad so i think you have to basically say that now so you know uh he you know
00:26:51.700
the middle countries he's defined our prime ministers define the middle countries what would
00:26:56.820
you do differently or would you just do the same thing so i think we need we need to figure out where
00:27:01.060
they're at um foreign policy can't be an afterthought so i think that's the one thing i put down that
00:27:08.020
the conservative party has made that mistake on the last election are they going to make the mistake
00:27:13.380
again so the priority list of things that are at the conference should start with foreign policy because
00:27:21.300
that foreign policy question is the biggest question we have with our sovereignty going forward on
00:27:27.700
potential issues with the united states and not even close yeah even close so if i had to prioritize
00:27:34.340
what i'm going to talk about it would be at least 40 to 50 percent on that issue and the rest quite
00:27:39.860
frankly i might be putting on sidebar breakout rooms you know so i could at least get my policy
00:27:45.860
platform together coming out of this to give direction for the party of where we want to go right
00:27:52.180
think of all this real quick think of all the conservative supporters who maybe can't be in
00:27:56.180
calgary or watching this go wait a sec what about what about what's going on around the world wouldn't
00:28:01.860
they be asking that yeah yeah because this is a group historically conservatives are uh the money
00:28:08.740
group right they are the people that understand money and they make the battle against uh liberal
00:28:13.860
decisions to spend money like crazy and so that's part of it but they're going to you're right jim
00:28:19.300
they're going to see across the border right away and they want to see what this is the other thing
00:28:23.620
is you i talk to conservatives and you do every day and there is no doubt that among conservative
00:28:30.500
supporters there's a little bit of questioning whether or not all he has a guy we don't know
00:28:35.300
that there'll be an election because you know it hasn't been stated but there's moment he is does not
00:28:41.620
have the likability factor unfortunately fair or not as a top and elite politician that you need he doesn't
00:28:48.740
have now okay by those standards how the hell is trump the president but half of america love him
00:28:55.860
that's why how did we get half of canada or more if i'm the conservative party to like my guy is it
00:29:02.820
make him more personable make him more knowledgeable make him more worldly i don't know if you can make
00:29:08.340
him more accountable so what i would do so this is what i would do at this point i would actually now
00:29:14.660
present a person that had a very definitive granular plan so basically and that's where i came out of
00:29:21.780
you know when i was starting to do my whiteboard i'd sit down and say i think canadians people are
00:29:27.300
fearful right now they're afraid how could you not be they don't know the risk and the uncertainty
00:29:32.340
that's in the marketplace is being shown everywhere whether it be our dollar the you know the stock markets
00:29:37.780
everywhere you know real estate look at real estate it's a disaster so i would sit down and i'd have a
00:29:43.460
very granular plan by all the gdp all the sectors that i called out and i would have a basic a project
00:29:51.220
plan that had timelines accountability had a procurement strategy so i would i would reposition
00:29:58.180
my party you know the shadow ministers i would actually roll out my shadow ministers and i would say
00:30:04.580
it's not just me here's the team that you would be buying going forward to bring you forward and
00:30:11.620
here's all their responsibilities and here's how i'm going to manage this because i think that's the
00:30:16.180
missing link in this whether it's kind of both sides right now so you know whether it's whether it's
00:30:22.660
the liberals or the conservatives the person that actually can get to the public with a plan right
00:30:27.860
now that people buy into and feel like we're coming out the other side okay is the person that's
00:30:34.500
going to get the public trust the great speeches right now and riding on the fumes of all that are
00:30:40.180
fine if things start to veer off the path and we go into recession and unemployment goes up to 12 and
00:30:48.180
things start to get people are going to forget pretty in pretty fast politics is what have you done for me
00:30:53.140
lately yeah so i'm i'm if i'm on the opposition right now i am i have my writers and my uh research teams
00:31:03.380
with my ministers writing specific plans by industry where i'm going how i'm going to go
00:31:09.300
agriculture health infrastructure all that exactly so i'm giving it to the public and i'm actually it
00:31:14.900
shows you're serious right then the next thing in my tune mike and jim i'm getting on a train i'm
00:31:20.900
getting on a plane and i'm going to those cities and i'm telling people what it is like they're not
00:31:29.940
they're not working right now they haven't been seated since christmas like think about it you
00:31:35.060
know that sounds bizarre because we've all i don't even remember much at christmas no it's been such a
00:31:41.300
busy little busy setting of media company paul yeah you know it's been busy so i would be i would be
00:31:47.860
moving into the buy of time i don't think they go back for another month or so correct i would
00:31:52.740
literally almost like a i hate that i'm not using this as a bad thing but i almost like a u.s
00:31:58.900
politician does you know you watch us the whistle stop right yeah the u.s politicians are very good at
00:32:03.700
it man they they get their platforms and and they get on the road right and they're in auditoriums
00:32:09.140
they're in arenas they're all over you know what's trump on he's on the affordability tour yeah he's
00:32:16.660
the president united states and he's on the affordability he's he's already branded his tour
00:32:21.700
he's already going to those cities right you know and that's what i would be doing now and i'd be
00:32:26.660
saying this is where i'm getting it out and you know if you're going to vote for me you're going to
00:32:30.260
vote for me because this is where i'm going right i think paul real quick and you can mike you chime in
00:32:35.780
here there's a lot of canadians of you polyev as trump light as mini trump and and and and if he is
00:32:43.060
staying on they have got to do what you said and come out as a serious politician with a plan and an
00:32:51.140
agenda and get away from if they can from the perception of who he is because that if they can't
00:32:59.300
get rid of that well then what's the point uh they had an opportunity to use humanity on their
00:33:04.820
side at a time when the nation was so fed up with trudeau uh that they could have walked in and
00:33:09.860
taken this away and i ask you both if it wasn't a robotic uh i guess arguing machine the conservative
00:33:20.340
party has been viewed as i think for several years now if they came out of the gate ready and saying
00:33:27.300
okay we are not the majority or we are not the but we do represent a lot of canada and we're going
00:33:34.020
to get behind our nation right now that's really important right but you're also going to hear from
00:33:40.260
us where we agree and don't agree with our federal government where we agree and we don't agree at the
00:33:46.260
local level and minister mccucci the shadow minister of finance this is what we'll do when we're in power
00:33:53.300
and as you said just lay it all out and give people facts and information and also i'd like to
00:33:58.980
meet with the prime minister as the leader of this party quarterly to share my discoveries to share the
00:34:05.380
feedback that we've got well that's part of the accountability and the measurement piece which any
00:34:09.220
business or any country needs to succeed right and that's where we've been we listen many shows i've
00:34:15.460
done about the lack of productivity of canada right now so there's tons of examples why we've ended to
00:34:22.500
be the i think the second last country in the in the developed country we're in second last place
00:34:28.020
productivity per capita there's there's lots of examples how do we move forward and how do we get
00:34:33.940
we don't measure ourselves and we don't put enough and i think that's where we've gotten now is with the
00:34:39.060
u.s moving off and we're sitting on our own we're like okay how do we because there's a there is a
00:34:46.020
feeling of hopelessness a little bit right now people are like i'm feeling a little hopeless like what next
00:34:51.140
yeah maybe i should start thinking about going back to my country of origin maybe i should start
00:34:55.140
well the opposition pushing up against a strategy nationally on a daily basis does not help that
00:35:01.220
psychology no because it feels like we're spinning our wheels as a nation so what you're talking about
00:35:05.540
is him getting at him or let's not even talk about him for a minute the pure policy i'm sorry that i'm
00:35:10.500
sorry we're actually but he's the guy no no for now but you think the conservatives in general let's talk
00:35:14.980
about the conservatives because i i don't want to put too much uh stress on him because i do really
00:35:19.860
believe that it's up to the party to come out of this with a campaign so whether it's the affordability
00:35:26.100
tour whether it's uh you know i don't know productivity tour productivity tour resource
00:35:34.260
canada tour whatever it is it's you know the plan or whatever and we go out and there's something
00:35:40.420
published and he starts to tell people about it that'll push which is good the debate with the liberals
00:35:47.700
and with the prime minister on getting an actual on-ground plan which is hard you know think about
00:35:56.100
it you've been you spent you know the and both of them quite frankly i think have the same a little
00:36:02.100
bit of the same malady they spent their lives in boardrooms or government offices yeah yep right and
00:36:09.140
that's a challenge sometimes because if you haven't actually went in the real world and been an
00:36:14.180
entrepreneur and ran your own business and functioned uh as normal businesses do it's sometimes
00:36:21.300
hard to transition your thinking over to what the guy on the ground needs because you're in such a
00:36:25.380
little insular bubble right also that insular bubble is tunnels and trails and pathways that are very
00:36:31.540
specific to get things done that don't exist in the real world exactly so yeah so now creating that
00:36:36.660
granular plan with your ministers and your team it's going to make both of them kind of come to ground
00:36:42.180
on not only domestic issues but how those domestic issues tie to our new foreign affairs issues so and
00:36:49.860
and that's the tie that we're missing right now and i think that's that's where it'll help and and i hope
00:36:55.060
i hope they listen and i hope you know whatever this conference ends up being it comes out with a plan
00:37:01.300
and a strategy that actually will push both parties to elevate because that's ideal yeah guys i think
00:37:09.540
canadians now especially after what you said paul and mike don't just criticize don't just give me
00:37:15.700
the sound bites okay yeah we are worried homes aren't being built we're worried about a price of a
00:37:21.780
house like this and that condos don't sell at all anymore in our country food and blah blah blah okay
00:37:27.860
what would you do how would you do it tell us just tell me yeah and and therefore you have a plan
00:37:35.220
whether the plan works perfectly or not i just think people need a leader to give them a plan to
00:37:39.940
try to take them out of it the end result will be the end result we know you think you really think
00:37:45.140
like and if think we watch trump do you think he really knows the end result out of anything he's
00:37:50.740
doing no okay no way not a chance no not a chance no but i think that he's given but he does make
00:37:56.020
outcomes but i don't think he even registers them no but he he he calculates it he makes a decision and
00:38:03.060
he goes in a direction very american but it is a way to get things done now the end result sometimes
00:38:10.340
might be you know disastrous but is it more disastrous not to have a plan and sit and fail
00:38:18.020
than to get on your feet and have a plan and at least get to an outcome where you can assess and
00:38:22.980
maybe be able to manipulate it or change it to get the outcome you wanted and i think that's where we're
00:38:29.300
failing now we're sitting we're sitting in theories and philosophies and we don't have anyone on either
00:38:36.980
side going to ground and that's what you know if i was any advice for this coming convention you know
00:38:43.860
change your agenda focus on determining that figure out what resources you need and it also comes with
00:38:52.660
we've talked about it mike many times get a media plan yeah be able to oh my goodness guys for crying
00:39:01.620
out loud for the conservative party of canada please figure out a media plan because quite frankly not
00:39:10.100
having one and not communicating very well and i'm a you know again i criticize both parties i criticize
00:39:17.860
you know the bad pr on one side the the conservative party not much better quite frankly because they
00:39:24.420
haven't figured out a way uh other than you know fundraising emails and other things to get into
00:39:31.380
anyone's inbox so you know you need to figure that out because you you have to track sorry to that end
00:39:38.020
media plan the last thing paulia have tweeted yesterday was about a carbon tax and the price of the pump
00:39:43.460
yeah we heard that before what if what if that what if that post was very impressed with our prime
00:39:51.220
minister thank you for representing us well at davos yeah looking forward okay can i add a little bit
00:39:56.820
looking looking forward to getting on and working together on a strategic granular plan on how to move
00:40:03.780
forward by sector that would be a great there's not a word it's all about grocery prices carbon tax
00:40:10.340
and the same old stuff we heard over and over again rent but there's nothing about the speech and
00:40:17.300
nothing like what you said mike when you see the conservative party in the media it's it's always painted
00:40:23.220
by a lot of traditional media and then the uh conservative uh independent media and i hope we don't fall
00:40:30.900
into that category i often worry about that we try to have a pretty balanced voice here many of them are
00:40:36.100
the rebel news and the junos of the world that are or blender that are very hard-hitting hammering
00:40:42.100
hammering hammering hashtag ezra ezra come join us we'd like to talk to you interesting guy but having
00:40:51.380
said that uh i do think that they do a very poor job of being out there when they could have a strategy
00:40:59.060
a strategy includes getting your own media out there getting your own discussions out there in front of
00:41:04.580
the public but why if you can't trust the traditional media to cover you it's an opportunity to cover
00:41:09.540
yourself with more depth with more positivity well we don't see it well you you don't see it but you
00:41:16.340
know again we criticize you know we criticize donald trump wasn't he in the same slide he was yeah i i
00:41:25.780
think he have to build himself up with a media strategy that could overcome mainstream media and
00:41:30.500
actually create huge huge huge in a bigger nation with me and you know again you know we're we're
00:41:38.020
saying you know it wasn't such a great couple days but but you know you got to give him credit he did
00:41:43.380
figure out a way to get his message into you know half of america right to get himself on a ballot to
00:41:51.140
actually go and win and then quite frankly with a strategy that was pretty granular right when you you
00:41:58.180
read what he was what he was selling at that time to americans was very definitive right i'm gonna
00:42:07.460
take so many immigrants out of the nation i'm gonna you know build the wall again like again it was very
1.00
00:42:14.500
detailed and he went to each of the again because he's on that train ride around the nation he's going
00:42:20.340
and he's talking to people and he's saying okay you need that i can do that you can need that i can do that
00:42:26.500
and here's how it ties into the bigger picture of my nationalistic view of america and destroying
00:42:34.180
globalism in our nation i don't agree with it but quite frankly i do see what he was doing and i do
00:42:40.180
see how he did it we can't complain it for the conservative party that we can't get on tvs and
00:42:46.100
radios and everywhere else because there is a way to do it it's been done so but but there you talk media
00:42:51.860
strategy why wouldn't someone in the conservative party say we are not going to put a tweet out this
00:42:57.380
week about grocery prices and the price of the pump as as wouldn't they seem like real leaders if
00:43:04.580
they said what you said paul and said hey i i felt as a proud canadian but whatever great speech but
00:43:10.500
we you know but let's get down to work and there's no mention of it hey pm call me but that's structure
00:43:16.660
right so that's who's making that call no but to me that that's a structural issue right which we hit
00:43:22.740
on here i can't get a plan until i get a team together that can execute the plan so i have to
00:43:27.780
build that team i got to get them into the right place i have to empower them set up accountability
00:43:32.740
set up reporting set up monitoring just like running a normal business right that's what i'm talking about
00:43:37.300
you know being having the ability to been in business and understand the importance of putting all
00:43:41.780
that ecosystem into place so you can run it right and i think where they where these right now it's
00:43:47.620
for them getting together they have enough business people at the table cripes they're a party full of
0.86
00:43:52.180
business people they should be able to quite frankly sit down and say okay here's how this is going to go
00:43:57.140
here's how we're going to communicate here's how the strategy is if you know the whether they have
00:44:03.140
tech people on their team whatever their pr people how they all coordinate how it gets out who
00:44:08.820
monitors the messages what's the feedback who does the reporting of it those are all the things they
00:44:13.860
should be covering but yet they're not but so someone in the party said let's not even mention
00:44:19.700
this historic speech that's being you know applauded around the world by world leaders and everyone
00:44:26.020
so like it's like it didn't exist and we'll talk about these that was a strategy i mean if it was just
00:44:30.980
missed okay but that feels like a strategy dave in the marketing side of things for the conservative
00:44:37.460
party is saying stay the course with our messaging about taxation that's the most
00:44:43.780
stay with that stay with that while carny's out there okay but this week not the week to do that
00:44:50.100
no and then and then probably quite frankly there's sort of a set of pollsters who are behind them
00:44:55.700
telling them yeah that's going to emanate or that's going to work but again as we talked to before
00:45:04.900
take it with a grain of salt right go to the go to ground with the people right because i guarantee
00:45:10.020
you you know trump when he was doing his tour quite frankly probably was listening a little
00:45:16.180
bit to polls but probably really didn't give a right he probably doubtful he did i definitely did he
00:45:21.140
was just doing it by feel and touch as he was seeing the people and by being on that train and
00:45:25.860
going to those communities you're going to learn about those issues you're going to understand them
00:45:29.860
and you're going to adapt and i think that's the that's the that's the message and you know whether
00:45:35.460
whether it's the liberal party or the conservative party someone's got to do it and it's whoever gets
00:45:43.060
to it first and does it the best is the person that's probably coming out in the outcome elected
00:45:47.700
in the next at the at the outcome but if we've seen don't do it if we don't do it it'll be a free
00:45:52.580
for all and then quite frankly that's a shame for canada absolutely that probably means the you know
00:45:58.820
unfortunately our future is not as bright as we'd like i think mike so you go to a coffee shop anywhere
00:46:06.340
in canada right now and just chat with average people i could what do you think 90 95 are mentioning
00:46:13.780
what's happened this week in davos to the world forum i i would say that there wouldn't be a single
00:46:18.740
person in canada that has any view on the news did you see what pauliep tweeted about grocery prices
00:46:24.660
i doubt that's happening not really happened this week i'll tell you not this week do you remember
00:46:28.500
hazel hazel mccallion oh of course yeah hurricane hazel so yeah you know got to know her after a
00:46:36.420
purchase of a business and uh you know it's interesting she invited me one day she says i do
00:46:40.980
these coffee shop meetings and she would go around mississauga to these really meetings right and i
00:46:47.700
thought it was kind of wacky to tell you the truth independent not only in tim hortons but she'd pick
00:46:51.380
these locations and she'd just show up at the same day and just go if no one showed up she'd just grab a
0.77
00:46:57.060
newspaper and i just chat with people have a coffee and whoever came and talked to her and then what
00:47:01.860
happened was people started all to show up at the coffee shop right and then so she would go into
0.65
00:47:06.500
like a tim hortons there'd be like 80 people waiting for it was hey i i don't like my garbage i
00:47:11.060
don't like my rent i don't like this i don't like that and they'd be just blasting her and and she'd be
1.00
00:47:15.540
like she was so funny because she'd go okay sit down one at a time right here's what i'm doing on that
00:47:21.700
here's what i'm doing she'd have her girl beside her writing down all the issues right she'd go back
1.00
00:47:27.460
and she'd send a message to all her counselors you know you take care of that you take care of that
00:47:32.340
you take her you do this you do that it's and stuff got done didn't but that's leadership planning
00:47:38.340
and organization and understanding how to go to ground you know what's interesting is that what that
00:47:43.300
became i forgot about that paul yeah that was she became famous for that yeah yeah don't hear it would
00:47:48.980
talk about a hockey night in canada yeah yeah yeah she uh she was not young when she was doing
00:47:55.140
that she was no you know oh no she didn't even get a license in your 40s right oh yeah and she hung
1.00
00:48:00.900
in there for years and years remember when she was 80 she was biking from one of these got hit by a
00:48:04.900
car going to city hall on her bike yeah yeah i kept going to work yeah no no she was a trooper but
00:48:10.820
but that's what you know again that's that's the missing link in canada right now that's really to
00:48:16.660
your point the other day i was in uh my local convenience store and i think i mentioned this
00:48:20.660
to paul and i said to the gentleman behind the counter you know god willing and the creek don't
00:48:26.020
rise sometime in the next six months we'll get to sit down with danielle smith and get an
00:48:30.980
understanding of what's happening alberta and what her opinion is and you know kind of kind of hash it
00:48:35.860
out and see if it's a good idea and he said can i send a message to her oh this got this is in
00:48:41.700
southern ontario this is yeah this is in southern ontario he's got an interest in what she's going to do
00:48:46.420
okay his message by the way i will record it if i if i can get permission because he said i i would
00:48:51.780
like you to record it and send it to her okay show it to her if you meet her and i thought okay
00:48:56.340
but his message was beautiful his message was this i would have not voted for this prime minister
00:49:02.420
i would have voted conservative please take the opinion of a canadian that's new and loving this
00:49:09.780
country and he's been here for 25 years so he's not that new that i want you to work with our prime
00:49:15.300
minister i want you to work with our government because if you don't i can't vote for you and if
00:49:21.780
i'm in alberta that's how i feel and if i am looking at the national conservative party that's how i feel
00:49:27.300
and he said i'm conservative it's so difficult right now i think there's a lot of people from coast to
00:49:34.660
coast who maybe feel the same way don't just argue show us your plan yeah i love this idea getting into
00:49:41.220
the communities and saying okay we see what the prime minister is doing we don't agree with everything
00:49:45.540
we agree with some of it but we're focused on this and this is our strategy in this area
00:49:51.300
and actually get out there and because they do have some power in that parliament
00:49:57.620
if you're pushing your agenda along all the time you take the tile you look reliable and you go up to
00:50:04.100
the big nickel in sudbury or uh whatever and you're the shadow minister the conservatives and you're
00:50:09.540
actually at the coffee shop with the miners and asking them and talking to them and giving face
00:50:15.380
time wouldn't that make a big impact here's our plan give me your input yeah what do you think yeah
00:50:20.500
what do you think guys what are your top three problems here definitely they're going to tell you
00:50:24.020
they're going to tell you way more than you're going to learn being in ottawa go to a factory when
00:50:27.860
they have a shift change guys we're going to build this ring of fire out what would be a good
00:50:31.860
way to lay out a city here oh so let's say ring of fire okay yeah that's interesting so we talk
00:50:36.100
about the ring of fire we've had this discussion before are we serious about the ring of fire
00:50:41.060
well they are in china they bring they build mining cities all the time yeah there's but they're
00:50:45.940
serious right so within a year we've seen it right they they they get a million homes they
00:50:52.500
uh bring shopping malls shopping malls bowling out bowling alleys grocery so at the end of this
00:50:57.220
calendar year at the very least the the bare bones of a serious road to the mine should be laid out
00:51:04.420
right yeah and a plan and it was going to be there at least the housing camp whether it be
00:51:08.900
very rudimentary and then start building out from it yeah you creeps i remember years ago i watched the
00:51:14.260
the chinese in uh jamaica come in and they dropped containers they they actually needed jamaican for a
00:51:22.420
vote and nato and they cut this deal to build a convention center and they came in and they actually
00:51:28.660
brought all their containers dropped the containers unloaded the containers of construction supplies that
00:51:34.020
they couldn't get in jamaica and then converted them to a housing fortress lived in it with showers
0.83
00:51:39.940
and beds and cars and everything else built the built the convention center airlifted the containers
00:51:46.020
back out and left they were done they were done but they made up their mind and they made a commitment
00:51:52.660
and they went and did it right so a duck for the premier of ontario seems very serious hell-bent to get
00:51:58.100
it done and mark carney's talked about it so maybe with this cabinet meeting going in quebec city and
00:52:03.780
this thursday that's a big part of it is okay bank start cutting down trees laying down the roads
00:52:10.020
carving out a path and then this is where we're going to do this and this is we're going to do that and
00:52:14.420
show investors we're serious give a hiring incentive to get people to relocate up yes put up temporary
00:52:20.020
housing you know i you know last night i got two two phone calls one from an electrician and one from a
00:52:28.020
tile set or a tile guy um both looking for work really don't have any projects right now right if you
00:52:35.460
said to them they could leave and go and start working on that road crew tomorrow they would be
00:52:42.740
there tomorrow yeah you would have no problem they'd be gone they'd be gone they'd leave their family
00:52:46.900
they'd leave their wives and kids in school here and they'd be up in in the camps building whatever
00:52:51.620
they need to build i have a contractor friend they're doing work uh some of these it's called
00:52:55.940
the county for people who don't live in ontario prince edward county in east ontario because it's
00:53:00.820
become the second sort of cottage country and he says i have a lot of projects there because well
00:53:04.740
there's money there so i had to i have to ship my crews over there to do the work because they they
00:53:09.460
want the work yeah yeah so we'll go they're all traveling now oh yeah and you know paul we've discussed
00:53:15.140
this before as well that that is uh in some ways that's a badge of honor for these guys
00:53:21.700
you know if i built that yeah if you're in sudbury and you got called away to do a project someplace
00:53:26.100
and it's a major project that you can be proud of dad i saw this in tiktok yeah buddy i built that
00:53:32.260
i built that but that's part of the organization and commitment and plan that needs to be laid down by
00:53:37.540
someone yeah that'll give people the confidence we're moving out of this and the sector the middle
00:53:42.900
powers that would say hey look at this we'll invest in that i like what you're doing here yeah
00:53:49.460
yeah of course well we'll see at the convention what they do right i mean there may be an addendum
00:53:54.340
to this there may be an entire breakout on it i hope so too this is a huge thing for the conserves
00:53:59.700
a huge part in their history don't you think well this is the opportunity to change yeah survival of
00:54:04.740
the party they have to they have to show that they're attuned with the average canadian to get a board
00:54:09.540
to get a plan laid down to at least get moving that's a i never thought of that yeah it's survival
00:54:15.220
paul right yeah it is anything anything else and of course you know it's funny because we reach out we
00:54:23.140
to get media access to people and stuff like that it's very difficult they don't really like uh anybody
00:54:30.100
interviewing them that makes sense but that needs to open up a little bit more to have reasonable
00:54:34.580
conversations with people and share the share the opinions again i hate to use him as an example
00:54:40.500
because i know the last couple days he's walking on an airflow he's answering questions he's in an
00:54:47.700
airplane he's answering questions right your platform should not be something that you're hiding
00:54:55.220
your plan should not be embarrassing your thoughts on what should be moving forward for the country
00:55:01.460
should be openly shared as the leader of a country that's your job not just opposing what the other
00:55:07.140
guy's doing yeah you should be able to go into a coffee shop or a restaurant an airfield off a plane
00:55:12.900
and someone asks you a question stop and give them a straight answer whether they like it or not
00:55:17.780
that's the answer and that's why you elect people into power because they have the guts to to proceed
00:55:24.740
with the plan even when some people don't love it so say you go to the coffee shop and he rolls in
00:55:30.260
there whoever the politician is and starts chit-chatting having a conversation like you
00:55:34.420
said hazel mccallion did yeah you're like you know i may not agree with him but i think he seems like
00:55:38.260
a pretty decent person yeah that's it you talk about a likability like like regular person oh i'll
00:55:44.340
have some tim bits and a coffee please oh hey how's it going what do you do blah blah blah blah blah yeah
00:55:49.140
there's that fantastic scene in um darkest hour where gary oldman's playing winston churchill he takes the
00:55:55.540
subway and he starts going what do you do well we're going to need bricklayers to rebuild london what do you do
00:56:01.060
hey what do you think about this and all the people start talking to him and it was part of
00:56:04.820
his charm oh yeah yeah and he was like here's the prime minister of england of the war talking to
00:56:09.620
someone on the subway look at look at chen he would he'd have guys into the backyard sorry he'd have
00:56:15.220
guys into the backyard for a beer to talk about he would go missing from his security detail wandering
00:56:20.820
around the city which churchill used to get on a train ad hoc just because he didn't want to be
00:56:26.260
in parliament anymore and take a train across the nation and talk to people he just they'd be like
00:56:30.900
where are you going i'm just jumping on my train because he had his own train guys like hey i go
00:56:35.540
fast you want to golf with me we need someone for a foursome and you'd be like paul macucci i'm golfing
00:56:40.340
with kurchin he's like yeah come on and it's interesting but when when those people come
00:56:44.740
away from those experiences with a human that they've had a discussion with i mean you could
00:56:51.060
saddle up next to uh pauliev and say hey all you do is argue and have him say you know it's a strategy
00:56:57.700
we tried for a long time yeah we now have a plan i don't know if you've heard about it we have
00:57:02.100
transitioned we've pivoted but you know i used to come back to hazel for a minute and this is an interesting
00:57:06.980
uh test case you know her whole life you know amazing life in the end she built a city she
1.00
00:57:15.620
attracted the uh largest number of fortune 500 companies to come to her city with tax initiatives
00:57:24.180
and tax breaks and everything to set up and create a community that led to the building of a city
00:57:29.540
which is square one yeah the hershey center the hockey arena like you talked about all the stuff
00:57:37.060
yeah and now they're building the lrt line up highway 10 to go from mississauga square one all
00:57:41.380
the way up to brampton meadowville business park yeah it's all things that she had envisioned and it
00:57:47.380
was just through conversations and picking up the phone talking because if you can talk to the guy in
00:57:53.060
the coffee shop and also talk to the ceo you can figure out how to attach the two of them together
00:57:59.380
and that's the missing link with now with a plan on how to get canadians back i couldn't agree more
00:58:04.980
that is especially at this point in our history okay calgary we're coming your way yeah and we're
00:58:10.100
coming for that convention uh hopefully we'll come back with some very interesting discussions with people
00:58:15.780
and uh um get a little bit closer to the bottom line on what they're going to do policy wise
00:58:21.620
but i do agree it's do or die time and it will be fascinating to hear average conservatives talking
00:58:27.780
to you both when you're in calgary with their concerns and their thoughts and their ideas and
00:58:32.980
hopefully people listen to them well we'll listen to them yeah we know we will that's what we do here
00:58:37.780
yeah yep yep get the app check us out uh tplmedia.ca and by the way we operate on your support
00:58:46.820
don't hesitate thanks so much see you patriotic means looking out for each other and fixing things
00:58:55.060
together true patriotism is being in a country you love surrounded by people you love and great
00:59:01.300
weather being a patriot is being a part of your community and caring for it it doesn't matter who
00:59:05.460
you are or where you're from patriotism is the one thing we all share it's okay to be critical of
00:59:11.700
government and still be a patriot it's gratitude to your country of course i'm a patriot i'm canadian
00:59:18.020
it's my home well actually true patriot love is the mission
