00:00:00.000 I think I've heard that there, like, some companies are building new auto plants in Canada,
00:00:05.040 or in Ontario especially, for stuff like OVs.
00:00:07.680 Okay, well, some are leaving.
00:00:11.620 I mean, organize anything.
00:00:14.540 Do you think the Conservatives would be different, or any other political party?
00:00:18.160 I would hope that the Conservatives promise to be better.
00:00:24.020 I hope that they will be, right?
00:00:26.380 I hope.
00:00:26.960 um they certainly seem to have a good idea of what they want to do
00:00:33.920 right and it is not new bureaucracy and new legislation a lot of what they want to do is
00:00:41.560 repeal legislation and i think that's a good thing i think that's something that we need
00:00:45.980 and obviously they are politicians and we hope that they will keep their word
00:00:50.180 that is why we elect them to keep their word and their promises so i hope that they will
00:00:55.000 I mean, I guess the Liberals petitioned that they were going to advance our economy too and it hasn't advanced that much.
00:01:02.000 So how much can we really trust anybody?
00:01:07.000 Yeah. Well, a lot of us were skeptical about the Liberal Party because they are the ones that have caused this really bad economic situation, right?
00:01:20.000 So, honestly, I was out here in the election telling people, don't trust it, right?
00:01:26.880 Let's think critically about what they've done over the past 10 years and, like, really think, okay, are they actually going to follow through and grow our economy?
00:01:34.580 And I was skeptical.
00:01:36.620 I hoped that he would come through with his promises.
00:01:39.780 But, honestly, it's literally just talk.
00:01:43.880 Okay, I have a question.
00:01:45.140 So, if you were Prime Minister, you had a majority government for whatever political party you wanted.
00:01:50.000 Let's say minority government, because that's what we have now.
00:01:52.720 Sure.
00:01:53.540 What would you do?
00:01:55.440 What would I do?
00:01:56.380 Yes.
00:01:57.620 Well, first thing is repeal all this bad legislation.
00:02:01.460 So, like, the censorship laws, the gun buyback laws.
00:02:05.360 So, C-11, C-21.
00:02:08.040 And then I would totally fight against all these bad censorship laws
00:02:13.220 that they're already trying to put through again in this section.
00:02:15.760 It's like C-8, C-9.
00:02:17.420 I would fight against those.
00:02:18.400 And then I would repeal Bill 69, which is like, it's the, what they call the No Pipelines Act.
00:02:25.860 But it's basically, it stonewalls the production of new pipelines.
00:02:29.800 Was that the one where all the pipelines go through the U.S. before we can export it?
00:02:33.620 Yeah, so it actually prevents pipelines being built so that we have our own, like, independent production in Canada and refine it ourselves.
00:02:42.740 That stonewalls that.
00:02:44.380 So I would repeal that.
00:02:45.360 And then the bad bail reform bill that they put forward during the Trudeau era, Bill C-75.
00:02:53.000 How do you think the Liberals should handle foreign interference in a country, like China and India?
00:02:58.120 Actually, take it seriously.
00:03:01.560 So we have, there's a lot of concern about the Liberal Party being infiltrated, or at least really in cahoos with China.
00:03:12.880 A lot of concern.
00:03:14.040 and there's one left-leaning senator i know he's not like not partisan in the senate but he actually
00:03:20.540 is affiliated with the cpp as far as i understand ccp yeah so he's affiliated with them
00:03:27.240 uh no you like the chinese so he has his affiliation with them uh so there's that guy
00:03:35.880 and then we also had another um there was a whole deal i don't know if you've heard about it
00:03:43.320 during the election, there was two MPs in the GTA area. One MP for the Liberal Party.
00:03:52.920 He came out and said, oh, hey guys, there's a bounty by the Chinese, you know, the Chinese
00:03:58.580 have put a bounty on my opponent here. Why don't you go collect on it, you know? This
00:04:04.580 is a real thing. I think Paul Chang or something was his name? Yeah, he did. He did. But he
00:04:13.300 still he encouraged people to do that which is honestly a really wild thing right um but there
00:04:22.580 is concern and then mark carney who's had all sorts of investments with the chinese the chinese
00:04:27.540 were supporting the liberal party what do you think the liberal party should change about the
00:04:31.380 health care system that is a good question so i think there's a lot of things that have made it
00:04:38.340 really bad like there's just too much immigration now so there's just too much demand for our health
00:04:42.900 care system that's one thing so they need to kind of slow that down so that we can actually maintain 1.00
00:04:47.860 like a good honest care for our citizens right that's number one but then there's got to be a
00:04:54.120 way like to maintain a sort of universal health care style while also adding a sort of competition
00:04:59.520 element to it where the hospitals compete for funds so that like they're encouraged to go faster
00:05:05.940 and actually do better care would you say keep the funds from the federal government yeah federal
00:05:12.760 government. Do you think they should be for profit? No, well, you can't really do that when it's
00:05:21.560 federal funds, right? So, yeah. Do you think like a private healthcare system would be better than
00:05:30.160 our current healthcare system? I think it would be better care. So I kind of like the way they
00:05:36.980 do it in Sweden where they have like a quarter of their hospitals that are privately run.
00:05:42.760 So there's that element of competition, but then they probably also have some way to fund that publicly, but they're privately owned, and I think that could be a good system.
00:05:57.560 But not necessarily that we would have private health care. I don't think that would go through with anyone. No one would want that.
00:06:03.760 so i see where you're coming from with like different hospitals competing for funds
00:06:09.360 one thing i'd say about that is like some cities you might have like only like one or two hospitals
00:06:14.480 yeah and so like if those hospitals get no funds because they can't compete well no no they would
00:06:21.280 still get funds but like a prioritization they wouldn't be prioritized as much yeah that might
00:06:26.320 like harm the standard of care for entire cities and then obviously we'd have to be subjective
00:06:31.840 about that right that's just it's an idea yeah like there has got to be some way to somehow
00:06:38.240 either of us are prime minister yeah but we are voters so
