00:00:00.000 And then on your nuclear side, obviously we wouldn't be able to make nukes anymore because of the full dimension and whatnot, but do you think it would be a possibility, and if so, if we move towards nuclear, would you think there would be a chance of an invasion from the U.S. or something like that?
00:00:23.000 Sorry, are we talking about nuclear bomb or nuclear power?
00:00:27.000 Nuclear bomb.
00:00:28.000 nuclear bomb okay okay um see we did canada did have nuclear bombs we gave up our arsenal under
00:00:38.900 the first trudeau um so i don't think we would ever be looking at building a new nuclear bomb
00:00:45.840 and to be honest there's technology now that's even more powerful than the nuclear bomb
00:00:50.780 so i don't think we would i don't think we'd be looking at building a bomb in my opinion um
00:00:58.000 If we talk about nuclear energy and say uranium, wouldn't countries take that as a sweat and say if we're just using nuclear and uranium for, say, energy purposes, couldn't we repurpose that for a different cause?
00:01:13.600 Oh, okay. Okay. All right. So nuclear power, the refinement of uranium that we need for nuclear power is much less than what we would need for the bomb.
00:01:25.140 to sustain like the fusion for a bomb it needs to be like really pure like uranium-235
00:01:30.200 but it needs it can be less pure for a for power generation actually much less pure
00:01:38.800 and and that's kind of why nuclear power is actually not that dangerous because there's
00:01:45.080 no chance that it could explode it just it won't explode um so no i don't think it would be a
00:01:53.560 national security threat to any other nation for us developing our nuclear power at all.
00:01:58.460 As far as I understand it, they probably wouldn't take any notice of it, really.
00:02:03.000 That'd be our interest.
00:02:05.280 I mean, it would take a lot more equipment to even begin to refine it.
00:02:08.360 And there was a whole controversy over all the facilities that Iran needed to refine their uranium, right? 0.59
00:02:14.580 Because they were trying to make a bomb. 0.71
00:02:16.960 And those facilities were pretty easy to distinguish and destroy.
00:02:21.260 So, we would need very specialized facilities just to produce uranium for the bomb, I think.
00:02:32.860 That's my understanding. I don't know if it's totally correct, but, yeah.
00:02:37.760 You said nuclear bomb, but, like, protect from invasion from who?
00:02:42.560 Well, from my understanding, I believe that, like, some point the U.S. will try to invade Europe
00:02:49.440 with just their lack of resources as well.
00:02:52.980 Yeah, but why the U.S.?
00:02:54.000 Who else is our neighbor?
00:02:55.720 It's just the U.S. and, like I still mentioned, Russia.
00:02:59.280 Yeah, because Russia is our neighbor from the North, right?
00:03:01.900 So they're pretty much our neighbor.
00:03:03.620 So, like, yeah, in a sense, maybe protection is in those two aspects,
00:03:07.400 but I believe the U.S. is our neighbor right now, kind of.
00:03:12.340 Yeah.
00:03:12.700 If you look at statements on, like, that's being the 51st state
00:03:16.760 or even like pushing Karani to join the new Golden Dome.
00:03:24.060 Oh, I think that's actually, I think that Golden Dome, us joining that, I think that is our interest as well.
00:03:29.760 Yeah, it is. Mark Karani wants to be a part of it.
00:03:31.760 We want to, but would we have the sufficient amount of money to put up those funds?
00:03:38.260 We don't. We don't have the money, but he's printing it, which is crazy.
00:03:42.760 Which is not an actual good solution.
00:03:47.300 No.
00:03:47.320 Yeah, it's a problem.
00:03:48.800 Yeah, it's a problem.
00:03:49.800 $63 billion.
00:03:51.040 I remember back when I was, say, four or five years old,
00:03:55.760 the conversion rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar
00:03:59.800 was just like $0.10 or $0.15.
00:04:02.600 And now if you look at it, it's a good $0.25 to $0.30.
00:04:05.880 Yeah, $0.30.
00:04:06.400 And that's the cost of us printing more.
00:04:08.300 and well yeah it's also a cost of a fairly bad economy as far as i understand it yeah
00:04:16.120 and then my second concern would be on abortion rights okay because i know the conservative side
00:04:25.640 would be pro-life in a sense okay so this is a common misunderstanding for a lot of people
00:04:32.600 so the conservative party's stance is that they are they are pro-choice they don't believe in
00:04:37.920 making any legislation whatsoever regarding abortion, but it's the conservative base that
00:04:43.060 tends to be more pro-life. So the party itself is, like, they're a, they call themselves
00:04:49.040 a laissez-faire, like, do whatever you want sort of party. So I think that's where they
00:04:54.340 stand. Yeah.
00:04:55.540 Do you think that, with that in mind, would they leave it up to, say, each province to
00:05:01.200 oh I don't know no I think they would I think they would keep it federally
00:05:07.640 legal as far as I know
