00:00:00.000 I want to be very clear here. I know that the people who care about this debate want it fixed
00:00:06.280 and they want the Liberals to be held to account for their failures. And I think we have to be
00:00:10.060 very careful about saying that somebody who wants to come to Canada to have a better life,
00:00:15.000 who the Liberals invited here, that somehow it's their fault for doing so. When in fact,
00:00:19.260 really what we've had is a decade of post-nationalist theory embedded into our
00:00:24.360 judicial system, into hiring processes, into desecration of Canadian national symbols and
00:00:31.340 identity. At the same time, while we've juiced immigration levels to a point where housing,
00:00:36.580 health care and jobs can't keep up. And it's that intersection between the economic fabric
00:00:43.300 being not being able to keep up that creates some of those issues that you're talking about. And
00:00:48.300 that's why we've been putting forward really strong public policy. And you got me all animated
00:00:52.360 because I just, I think it's so disgusting what the Liberals have done in undermining that social
00:00:59.420 contract for everybody, for immigrants and for Canadians alike. And I think it's something that
00:01:04.180 every Canadian should, should just, you know, really be up in arms over.
