Western Standard - CMS： Trudeau’s desperation is crushing Canada

00:00:00.000 Transcription by CastingWords

00:00:30.000 Good day. Welcome to the Cory Morgan Show. Thanks for joining me on yet another, at least out here

00:00:51.040 in Alberta, cold winter day. March is coming in like a bloody lion. Let's hope it goes out like

00:00:56.960 a lamb. I can't stand winter. I really can't. I've been in Canada all my life and still I've just

00:01:01.700 never learned to enjoy winter. Aside from the lack of mosquitoes, I really don't see a lot of good

00:01:06.340 out of it. Either way, hopefully things thaw out pretty soon. That'll kind of tie into some talk,

00:01:10.920 you know, about heating, energy, electricity, things like that. So a little later, I'm going

00:01:14.720 to have guests on J.U. and James Walker of Nanonuclear Energy. These guys are a company

00:01:22.280 that creates micro nuclear reactors and really portable. We're talking about something that

00:01:26.800 to be moved on a tractor trailer in sea cans. So perhaps, you know, that's something in the

00:01:32.860 energy mix that might be a bit of a game changer around the world as we all seem to try to scramble

00:01:37.760 to keep our energy sources secure. As well, a little later on, I'm going to have Franco

00:01:42.700 Teresano check in. We haven't had Franco on for a while. He's with the Canadian Taxpayers

00:01:46.360 Federation. He's got a few updates on what we can look forward to on April 1st. That's the

00:01:50.620 federal government's favorite time of the year to really make us bend over, lube up, and take

00:01:54.740 our tax increases for the season. So we'll have Frank go on to talk a little later. I see Jordan

00:02:00.260 and Mr. Stanley checking in on the comment scroll. Yes, if you're watching live, guys, be sure to

00:02:04.800 check in, send me your questions, comments, chat with each other. Just keep it civil. That's all,

00:02:09.640 you know, we don't have to be at each other's throats. We lost time for that, but I've only

00:02:12.980 got 45 minutes with you today. All right. I'm going to get on with what's got me going though.

00:02:17.100 I mean, I don't have to be too happy with everything I talk about. Let's talk some

00:02:20.680 federal politics. I'm going to quote our leader, Justin Trudeau. In 2021, Prime Minister Trudeau

00:02:27.060 infamously said, you'll forgive me if I don't think about monetary policy. Unfortunately,

00:02:32.180 Trudeau in that case was actually being absolutely honest. He doesn't think about monetary policies

00:02:36.460 and the cost for his willful ignorance is going to be borne for generations. And no, we shouldn't

00:02:42.200 bloody well forgive him. We should be trying to find a way to get that incompetent, unprincipled 0.98

00:02:46.300 boob out of office as soon as possible. The economic canary in the coal mine in Canada has 0.80

00:02:51.100 been dead for years. The warnings were clear. Canada was on a path to economic catastrophe,

00:02:56.580 but the Trudeau government ignored the signs and charged ahead with their agenda of mass spending

00:03:00.940 coupled with mass immigration. I mean, this is a government on the ropes. Their popularity levels 0.97

00:03:07.000 are rivaling the end of the Mulroney government when they ended up getting wiped out down to two

00:03:11.060 seats under Kim Campbell. Instead of reevaluating what they're doing, they're doubling down with

00:03:15.680 what they've already been doing, and it's making it worse. So, I mean, as the, you know, government

00:03:20.700 continued with its policy of borrowing money and pouring it into the economy, guess what? Inflation

00:03:24.320 followed. That's economics 101, but remember, Trudeau doesn't think about monetary policy.

00:03:29.360 So, action, reaction, to try and counter the inflation problems, the Bank of Canada has been

00:03:34.200 cranking up interest rates. And yeah, that does slow inflation, but that's because it slows the

00:03:38.580 entire economy. As businesses defer capital investment and housing starts slow down. I mean,

00:03:44.180 And to counter the economic slowdown and the risk of recession that comes with that,

00:03:48.300 the government then has opened the floodgates to mass immigration.

00:03:51.980 Sure, new immigrants bring skills and resources that do, in the short term, spur the economy.

00:03:56.820 But they also consume resources.

00:03:58.820 The influx of new Canadians has led to a housing crisis.

00:04:02.040 Of course, with the interest rates rising and housing prices going through the roof,

00:04:06.180 mortgage delinquency rates are soaring.

00:04:08.360 In Ontario alone, they've shot up 135%.

00:04:11.920 These are people about to lose the homes they put their lifetime of savings and investment into.

00:04:16.180 Younger people, they can't even consider buying a home with current prices. 1.00

00:04:19.100 They're forced to rent.

00:04:20.320 And that's not a solution.

00:04:21.320 Rents have been rising as fast as the home prices.

00:04:24.000 People are being forced to bunk up or move back in with their parents.

00:04:27.340 Between the skyrocketing cost of living and the addiction epidemic,

00:04:30.140 homelessness is chronic now and it's growing.

00:04:32.600 In every province in the country as well, the health care systems are overwhelmed.

00:04:36.300 Waiting times for hospitals and procedures are reaching new highs with every month.

00:04:40.360 Schools, no different.

00:04:41.260 they're under pressure as immigrants pour into the system faster than the system can expand to 1.00

00:04:45.140 accommodate them. And let's look at the business world. In January of this year, just a couple

00:04:49.840 months ago, business insolvencies in Canada went up 129% over the January period of 2023.

00:04:57.700 The taxes, regulations, interest rates, and anti-business climate in Canada is crushing

00:05:01.980 our enterprises. Canada is becoming an investment pariah. While the prime minister might have no

00:05:06.600 idea what he's going to do, you know, and what he is doing to the economy. Business leaders do.

00:05:11.780 They won't put funding into the economic basket case of Canada. It's a global market and we're

00:05:15.960 being left behind. It's not just bad monetary policies that are keeping investment out of

00:05:19.620 Canada. It's the environment and attacks on businesses themselves. I mean, grocers and oil

00:05:24.740 companies, executives, they've been dragged before parliamentary committees where they've been

00:05:28.820 questioned on their business decisions. It's kind of Soviet-like and feel, but that's not surprising 0.53

00:05:33.000 considering Trudeau partnered with a socialist to try and remain in power. How could any business

00:05:37.640 leader want to come to Canada and set up shop in that sort of environment? Having the government

00:05:41.880 constantly attacking and shutting down proposed resource development certainly isn't helping

00:05:45.480 either. It doesn't matter if the nation sits on massive natural resource reserves if the

00:05:49.160 government won't allow it to be developed. The most frightening indicator though of just how

00:05:53.240 far up the economic creek Canada has gone is the GDP per capita ratio. To put it in lay terms,

00:05:59.240 add up all of the economic output in Canada and divide it by the population.

00:06:03.480 That's the ratio, and that ratio has dropped steadily for the last six quarters.

00:06:07.640 You know, the banks are calling it out, economists are calling it out, 0.99

00:06:09.660 the only ones who seem unconcerned about it are the morons in government under Justin Trudeau. 1.00

00:06:13.960 Let's look at the comparison. 1.00

00:06:15.140 The GDP per capita in the USA is about $70,000 American dollars.

00:06:19.300 In Canada, it's $52,000 American dollars and falling.

00:06:22.960 The entire nation is becoming poorer, and quickly.

00:06:26.120 Trudeau's been on a mass hiring binge of civil servants,

00:06:28.240 but that only helps the unemployment figures.

00:06:30.320 Civil servants don't contribute to the economy, they drain from it.

00:06:33.480 I mean, Canada's faced depressions and recessions before.

00:06:35.760 Hard times have come and gone, but what's happening right now is different.

00:06:38.740 Canada's economy is being dismantled and destroyed

00:06:40.580 by the most incompetent and ideologically driven government we have ever seen.

00:06:44.920 The only question we have now is how long are we going to let this go

00:06:47.120 before somehow finding a way to pressure that administration out of power?

00:06:50.880 I mean, in other countries, people will be out in the streets by now,

00:06:53.160 but in Canada, we seem to be still stuck on watching reality TV.

00:06:56.680 Trudeau and I not like to think about economic policies, but I guess he's not alone.

00:07:00.180 Canadian citizens don't like watching it either, but it's going to catch up with you.

00:07:04.300 So guys, all I can say is it's going bad.

00:07:07.220 It's going bad fast.

00:07:08.360 Start paying attention.

00:07:09.620 Let's get that boob out of office sooner rather than later, because it's going to take generations 1.00

00:07:14.180 to clean up the mess he is creating.

00:07:16.280 And some of it's our own fault.

00:07:17.620 We've got to change it.

00:07:18.780 All right, that's what's got me ranting and raving to start the day off.

00:07:21.480 Let's see what else will get me pissed off today and check in with our news editor, Dave

00:07:25.220 nailer and see what else is going on in the big bad world hey dave how's it going good well i hope

00:07:28.500 i'm not responsible for pissing you off cory no just the news copy you put out there that's all

00:07:33.220 that's good like you though i am getting fed up of uh february weather in march so uh apparently

00:07:39.060 there's uh hope coming for the weekend so not above zero for the weekend but uh gotta gotta

00:07:44.660 tell you a fun story uh from earlier this week i was uh having a beer at my local pub the wink and

00:07:50.740 now uh best wings in the city by the way uh cory then i was chatting with a woman and i'd introduced

00:07:57.060 myself as dave earlier on and she says what do you do and i said well i'm a journalist well who

00:08:02.740 are you with well i work for the western staff you're dave naylor i listen to you on every

00:08:09.460 morning when i'm doing my makeup on the podcasts so yeah well at least one person listens to us

00:08:16.580 cory and uh either this or the uh the the pipeline in podcasts and doing it every morning while she

00:08:24.020 puts on her makeup so uh i was very chuffed well good a shout out to her then i hope the makeup is

00:08:30.740 going well uh exactly so hopefully she'll be listening tomorrow but uh yeah speaking of weird

00:08:37.140 stuff uh we've got uh one i've got a few weird ones uh going on at the moment cory got a story

00:08:42.500 on a guy in germany i'm assuming there's got to be some mental illness going on with this guy but

00:08:47.620 in the space of two years he had 217 covid vaccination shots uh you know he was going

00:08:53.940 around all over the country being injected every three or four days with uh with a with a covet

00:08:59.140 shot 217 now the good news is he didn't get covet uh but uh you know i guess they're kind of

00:09:06.020 studying i'm going to see whether he's going to start growing uh you know arms out of his forehead

00:09:10.900 or something like that our lee hardings got a story out of saskatchewan in which

00:09:15.220 the opposition is up in arms because a cabinet minister was spending hundreds and hundreds of

00:09:20.820 dollars a day being chauffeured around paris as he attended a conference i've got a story on david

00:09:26.660 parker you remember the uh leader of take back alberta went on a bit of a unhinged rant a couple

00:09:33.140 weeks ago attacking Pierre Polyev's wife. He says he's taken time to reflect and he says he was

00:09:41.140 wrong and promises never to personally insult anybody yet in the future. Speaking of weirdos,

00:09:49.040 Doritos. I don't know why these companies aren't learning the mistake of Bud Light. Bud Light lost

00:09:55.280 billions in stock value with Dylan Mulvaney and now Doritos has done it. They've partnered with

00:10:01.740 a transgender man, woman, for two days before they discovered disgusting text messages he

00:10:10.300 had put out on things he wanted to do to young girls in the middle of the street.

00:10:13.900 So his time as a Doritos spokesman ended fairly quickly.

00:10:19.820 Our Dave Makachuk, a military expert, has got a column on Canada's attempts to send

00:10:24.800 rockets to Israel.

00:10:26.800 Sorry, not Israel, the Ukraine.

00:10:28.860 Getting my wars mixed up there.

00:10:30.440 A Rivecan accountant said in testimony to the Commons, yeah, we knew something was going on here in this $60 billion boondoggle.

00:10:40.900 We knew something was going on, but we were too afraid of committing a career suicide by reporting it.

00:10:48.260 And the Bank of Canada today held their interest rate at 5%.

00:10:53.400 So any hopes for those people getting a bit lower or a bit of a break in mortgages if it drops, we're dashed today, but they'll be looking at it again in April.

00:11:05.440 So that's what's got our attention right now, Corey.

00:11:09.300 Right on. Yeah, lots on the go.

00:11:10.820 It is pretty sad that it's hard to keep track of which wars we're funding at which given time.

00:11:14.920 We're in a rough period of history right now.

00:11:17.640 Certainly are.

00:11:18.960 All right. Well, thanks for the update.

00:11:20.320 I'll let you get wrapped up with your news so you can rush down to the Wink and Owl for your

00:11:23.900 next round of fan adulation down there. There you go. Got to do the pipeline with you first.

00:11:30.200 Oh yeah, we still got that other show. Thanks, Dave. Take care, Corey.

00:11:34.860 That is our news editor, Dave Naylor. And yeah, you can see the stories again. They're always

00:11:38.320 coming hard and heavy, lots of stuff going on out there. And this is what I like to remind

00:11:42.540 everybody. The reason we have those stories, the reason we have the staff and we're as busy as we

00:11:47.940 are is because you guys have been subscribing. So thank you very much to subscribers. We get 10

00:11:52.780 bucks a month, $100 for a year, good bulk deal. And you get past that pesky paywall and it keeps

00:11:58.780 us independent. We aren't tax funded. We don't want tax funding. We stay independent. That makes

00:12:03.420 us answerable to you, not to the government or any of the other areas like other media outlets

00:12:08.560 have been lately. So if you haven't subscribed yet, get on there, westernstandard.news slash

00:12:12.900 subscription. Nag your friends to get on there, subscribe. It's really important to keep our

00:12:17.080 news independent as things change. And if you've already subscribed again, thank you very much. I

00:12:21.120 appreciate it. You know that go woke, go broke story. It just keeps going on. So now we got

00:12:25.360 Doritos into it or whatever it was. I mean, come on guys, you're into Mexican food. Tacos. If you

00:12:29.840 sell tacos, don't switch to sausages. Your customer base won't appreciate it. Sports Illustrated

00:12:35.280 figured that one out as well, the hard way. Just lay off, just stick to your products. How many

00:12:40.140 businesses really, by embracing these woke ideals and things have seen an increase in sales? How

00:12:45.740 many have actually had a good outcome from it. Just get out of it, guys. Stick to plain vanilla

00:12:52.020 celebrity endorsements. I mean, you're just, you got to get these DEI nutcases out of your

00:12:56.340 marketing departments and get back to reality. It's not doing yourselves any favors. I don't

00:13:01.300 care about it. I just want a taco chip or a nacho chip. Or, you know, back when I used to drink,

00:13:05.720 yeah, I didn't really care about the virtue signaling of the beer company. I was just looking

00:13:09.460 at price and flavor. Whatever. They keep going down that road. You know, interesting. So yeah,

00:13:16.960 that was brought up on the cabinet minister. I don't talk about Saskatchewan enough. And I'm

00:13:20.100 getting a little worried about the Saskatchewan party. They've been in power for 17 years,

00:13:24.240 you know, and we, when parties are in for too long, whether they're conservative or liberal or

00:13:28.700 NDP, if they're in too long, things go bad. We're certainly seeing it on the federal front.

00:13:34.720 And on the provincial front, we're starting to see those cracks showing in the Saskatchewan party.

00:13:39.160 And it worries me because they've kind of got a two-party system on the go.

00:13:42.200 I know they've got some other parties trying to get going.

00:13:43.980 I think the Saskunity Party or something like that.

00:13:46.200 But it's getting reminiscent, I guess, of the Redford years with the progressive conservatives in Alberta.

00:13:51.100 I mean, they'd been in for 40 years.

00:13:53.200 And the waste and the arrogance was getting out of control with them.

00:13:57.440 You know, they'd lost track of why they were there.

00:14:00.360 So when you see a minister going, and you see, it's the minor things.

00:14:03.080 I know it doesn't break the budget, but this is what sticks in the mind of the public.

00:14:06.340 Because they've got a close election coming this fall.

00:14:09.160 And when you got a cabinet minister going to Paris and touring around, and then it turns out

00:14:14.820 that he spent thousands on a private chauffeur service, $3,500 to go tour things around Paris

00:14:24.360 that had nothing to do even about what he was supposed to be there for. He was supposed to be

00:14:27.960 for a nuclear exhibition, and instead he was touring other things. Like, I don't mind multitasking

00:14:31.920 with these politicians. Okay, you go over there. If you've done your business part over on whatever

00:14:36.160 you had to, met the people you had to, and you want to run around and do some touring? Fine,

00:14:40.100 take an Uber. Take a taxi. Come on. We're not talking about the prime minister here. We're

00:14:45.280 not talking about even a premier. Look, nobody knows who Dustin Duncan is outside of Saskatchewan.

00:14:49.640 He didn't need extra security. You can jump in an Uber or a taxi, go see those things and come

00:14:53.880 back. But instead, no, he thought he would expense $3,500 to the taxpayers and go touring. Dude,

00:15:00.640 this is the sort of crap that gets you thrown out of office. This is the sort of thing that 1.00

00:15:05.500 sticks in the voters' minds. I know the voters should be thinking about the billions rather than

00:15:09.720 the thousands, but it's the thousands that resonate with other people, people who can't afford

00:15:14.680 their bills, their rent, their mortgage payments, and then they see this sort of arrogance being

00:15:22.880 used with their money. That's what gets you in trouble. Another area that's showing that the

00:15:28.560 Saskatchewan party's been in a bit too long was a recent release too. It sounds like municipalities,

00:15:33.220 their donation system. Most provinces have closed up this loophole. Alberta used to have it,

00:15:38.120 but municipalities can actually donate to political parties, which is not good because

00:15:42.960 the municipalities, of course, I mean, it's an instant conflict of interest. The provincial

00:15:46.840 government transfers funds to the municipalities, of course, for infrastructure projects and things

00:15:51.540 such as that. The municipalities shouldn't be able to donate to the political parties then

00:15:57.700 because of course they're looking to buy favor. And again, even if it's not been abused, this

00:16:03.920 voter sees it as abuse. And it sounds like tens of thousands of dollars have gone from municipalities

00:16:09.140 towards Saskatchewan party fundraisers. These are the cracks that are showing, guys. And you've got

00:16:14.000 to be careful because this fall, if this sort of thing keeps up, this kind of arrogance, you don't

00:16:19.040 understand why the voters are getting turned off you. They're going to be replaced this fall and

00:16:23.100 they're going to be replaced by the NDP. And again, you get to a cure that's worse than the

00:16:27.180 disease. Alberta learned that lesson the hard way already once. I'd hate to see Saskatchewan

00:16:30.780 have to learn to do so as well. All right, let's get on to the subject of our guests here. I've

00:16:36.700 been looking forward to this, again, energy. Energy has been a huge, huge news story and issue. It's

00:16:42.640 going on. We're, as in Alberta, supposed to be an energy capital of Canada, yet we have shortages,

00:16:47.140 we have instability, and we don't hear about nuclear enough and the developments within it

00:16:51.540 and where it's coming along. And these guys with nanonuclear energy sound really exciting,

00:16:55.580 actually with some of the stuff they've been developing with with micro nuclear technology

00:16:59.580 and i've got james walker and hopefully jju coming on soon to discuss and expand a bit on

00:17:05.180 that so we got james for now and uh let's let's see what they got going hey james how's it going

00:17:09.260 hi there cory i'm not too bad good well i i appreciate you coming on to join us today as i

00:17:15.740 kind of said in in the intro you know we're we're in a energy producing province we've talked about

00:17:20.140 nuclear for decades, but it just never seems to actually get off the ground around here.

00:17:25.420 Part of it is it's such a long game too. When you're playing with the applications and development

00:17:29.900 and building something of that scale, it just never quite makes it. But you guys are a little

00:17:34.540 different. I mean, this is very portable, very quick and can be applied a lot of different ways.

00:17:39.820 Can you kind of expand on what your company does? Yeah, of course. So you're absolutely right about

00:17:45.900 those long lead times for those big civil power plants and traditionally that's because these are

00:17:51.260 very large installations where all the fuel that's going to power in this thing for the next few

00:17:55.180 decades is all up front but the reason why there's big emphasis on smr's micro reactors

00:18:01.580 is because if you shrink down the reactor and it uses less fuel and it's less complex then

00:18:06.860 the time to actually launch these things is theoretically a lot faster the capital cost

00:18:10.940 comes down, the financing costs related to capital costs comes down, and that's where

00:18:15.940 the US and Canada are beginning to look towards being the future of the nuclear industry.

00:18:21.220 So Alberta is actually a great state for industry, and already there's quite a lot of industries

00:18:27.800 there that are looking at powering chemical operations, oil and gas operations, remote

00:18:32.880 locations, remote industrial projects.

00:18:36.100 Nuclear is the only solution really for those things because wind and solar can't be put

00:18:40.720 any way you want. They are only intermittent energy sources, and they need big storage

00:18:48.040 facilities, they need big land areas. And really, if you're looking to try and nuclearize

00:18:54.060 and power these remote industrial projects, nuclear is the only alternative to sort of

00:19:00.160 diesel generators and fossil fuels.

00:19:02.720 The number one question I'm certain you get, I mean, people have had a very negative interpretation

00:19:08.280 or impression of nuclear, I mean, since the China syndrome, you know, way back when I

00:19:11.940 was just a child, it was coming out on there, but the safety, I mean, it's important. People

00:19:15.900 should be, you know, at least asking about that. These are presumably very safe reactors

00:19:20.780 then.

00:19:21.780 Yes. You know, we have to contend, of course, quite often with safety questions being asked,

00:19:27.900 but it's very easy for us because all we can do is just dispense the facts about nuclear.

00:19:33.040 And we can say to people, look, if you look at just take the big civil power plants, even

00:19:39.080 if you look at deaths per gigawatt hour generated, nuclear beats out wind, solar, everything

00:19:43.320 and orders of magnitude safer than all the fossil technologies anyway.

00:19:46.860 So it's nuclear is already the safest form of energy.

00:19:50.340 When you shrink the reactor down to an SMR and then a micro reactor, it gets safer still.

00:19:54.640 So we have the safest form of energy getting even safer.

00:19:58.740 I think nuclear has always suffered from misconceptions and bad PR and obviously we're

00:20:04.500 trying to change that and obviously we're doing things like talking to you to try and explain to

00:20:08.220 people that you know the safety concerns you have might be a bit of a misapprehension about

00:20:14.160 the technology itself and the dangers at play but we we just need to get that message out there

00:20:19.940 and public sentiment is improving we are seeing gradually more acceptance of nuclear power and I

00:20:26.700 think once we can couple that knowledge about how safe it is with decreased energy costs for the

00:20:35.300 consumer, then the public support should really balloon. So these generation sources are very 0.90

00:20:41.220 portable and can be moved quickly. I saw one of the applications proposed, isn't it actually in

00:20:46.220 the case of an emergency, if there's a natural disaster or something has happened that the

00:20:49.960 regular power grid has been knocked down, these sorts of reactors could be brought into place to

00:20:55.240 bring supplemental power during that emergency period. It's a very interesting

00:20:59.400 application for it then. Yeah, absolutely. And look, it doesn't

00:21:03.480 stop there. I mean, the potential market here is a trillion dollar industry.

00:21:07.480 Like it's mining sites, oil and gas sites, remote habitation,

00:21:12.040 maritime vessels, just like aircraft carriers and submarines

00:21:15.480 currently use nuclear, charging stations, freebie vehicles, data

00:21:19.480 centers, AI centers, Bitcoin mining, if you really want to go

00:21:23.560 that route um you know so even if even in remote country uh countries with um remote communities

00:21:31.180 that are cut off from the larger grids um desalination plants medical facilities all of

00:21:38.440 that can be powered with micro reactors it could be a very transformative technology just for the

00:21:42.760 world yeah well in isolated areas like alberta where we have the oil sands developments up north

00:21:49.280 They're energy intensive to get the oil out.

00:21:51.280 We burn a lot of natural gas to get, you know, SAGD and things like that going on.

00:21:56.860 I would imagine if you moved a nuclear, you know, a modular nuclear facility in,

00:22:02.220 you don't have to build that electrical transport infrastructure as well.

00:22:05.800 Like you could run it for the project and then deactivate when the project is finished.

00:22:09.620 I mean, that's the big incentive here is that, you know, a lot of these projects do run on fossil fuels.

00:22:15.340 and that means that there's almost a daily importation of diesel or or fuel that you need

00:22:20.780 to do this but with a nuclear with a microreactor all your fuel is there in one place for the next

00:22:25.820 15 years of operation so all of your logistical concerns can be dispensed with um and when you

00:22:32.220 are finished with it the thing can just be decommissioned and moved out i mean this is

00:22:36.140 this is where we're trying to get to almost like a nuclear battery on a truck it can insert and

00:22:41.020 And once it's inserted, you run it just for how long you need.

00:22:44.860 And we don't even necessarily need to sell you the reactor.

00:22:47.340 We could just sell you the energy that you need over the period you weren't for.

00:22:51.500 So going further into that, what about the waste issue then?

00:22:55.280 I mean, when the fuel has been spent, it still leaves a product that has to be safely handled and disposed of.

00:23:02.420 I imagine you've got plans for that.

00:23:06.120 We do.

00:23:07.120 And I think the waste issue is almost similar to the safety issue in a way.

00:23:11.260 But I think the scale of it is not really appreciated.

00:23:13.980 So if I just say, like, if you were to take all of the reactors that have ever operated in North America, including the States, all the way back to the 50s, and that includes all the aircraft carriers, submarines, all the big civil power plants, and you were to collect all of that waste in one location, it wouldn't fill a football field.

00:23:31.020 It produces an amazingly small amount of waste.

00:23:34.740 and that's because the energy density of uranium is just so huge.

00:23:38.680 So a microreactor, if you can imagine it, it operates for 15 years

00:23:42.140 and you're producing less than a golf ball of highly irradiated waste.

00:23:45.940 It's not really going to be much of a waste issue.

00:23:48.620 Remarkably, actually, with our reactors,

00:23:50.240 because the power output is so much lower than a big civil power plant,

00:23:53.900 the burn-up of the fuel is less than 1% after about 15 years of operation.

00:23:57.900 So it's almost new fuel after over a decade of use.

00:24:01.960 And so obviously we don't want to throw that away.

00:24:04.180 we want to take that back and refurbish it and then put it back in the reactor and ship it out

00:24:08.820 again because it's essentially new. That's how energy denseness stuff is. Okay. I've got a

00:24:13.380 commenter with a question, Peter LaFontaine saying, are these small modular reactors available now?

00:24:19.380 And what sort of price point are we talking about? I mean, are they within reason?

00:24:24.580 So they're not available now and we still need to go through the licensing process. And that's the

00:24:29.860 big lead time operation because the regulatory process for getting a nuclear energy system

00:24:37.300 license is a lot longer than for anything else and it's it's mostly to do with the how technical

00:24:44.660 the facilities are attached to this but we've got to go through that process

00:24:50.180 we'll begin seeing microactors before the end of this decade we'll see smrs before the end

00:24:55.140 of this decade as well a bit bigger than a micro reactor and those could power chemical plants oil

00:25:00.980 and gas um oil sands all those kind of projects as well um but yeah so you we they're in they're

00:25:09.460 coming and all the infrastructure is being built up accordingly and it's not just canada that's

00:25:14.020 looking at this too but the united states and the department of energy there is throwing

00:25:17.860 a huge amount of money um at the big infrastructure projects to build back

00:25:22.420 their capability to mass manufacture fuel, deconverted fuel and build these things.

00:25:29.540 So we've got a lot of companies operating in Canada and I can certainly see why they'd be

00:25:35.300 interested in it. Have any started the process and working towards this? Again, we always hear

00:25:39.060 talk of it, but we just haven't quite seen it come to fruition yet.

00:25:42.420 Yeah. So Canada's nuclear industry is actually really good.

00:25:45.380 it um like they obviously they went the can do reactor route but that gave them a lot of expertise

00:25:51.220 in particular in that particular region and they obviously have to build up a lot of expert

00:25:56.100 personnel and infrastructures to support all that so they're well placed to actually slide into the

00:26:00.900 new generation of smrs and there are there are a number of um smr companies being built up in

00:26:07.380 canada even um canada westinghouse um they're looking at um building an smr and deploying to

00:26:13.860 power a lot of infrastructure within Canada so it's happening we don't know

00:26:20.580 whether the first reactors to commercially launch will be from the

00:26:24.480 States or Canada but either either way I think Canada will eventually produce

00:26:29.620 its own SMR and micro reactors that can deploy around the country it's you know

00:26:35.160 obviously Alberta is going to be a big focus mix it's very industry focused and

00:26:38.700 these big industries have a lot of mandates to bring in alternative forms of

00:26:43.320 power um other than fossil fuels but even even in the north of well versus so um northwest

00:26:50.280 territories you come we've got a lot of remote communities up there um it's enormously expensive

00:26:55.640 to power those places and to deploy a micro reactor up there where you've got say a community

00:27:00.920 of only 800 on a yearly basis that could be over 10 million dollars in just diesel costs alone just

00:27:06.360 to fuel that those costs would essentially half go to a tenth of what they would be

00:27:13.320 because you have a micro x to power it for 15 15 years so with with this kind of reactor to

00:27:20.120 generate power like one of the issues we have with renewables alberta in a lot of areas have

00:27:23.880 put in a lot of windmills and a lot of solar projects and things like that but the problem

00:27:27.400 is if the wind doesn't blow the sun doesn't shine you've got to go to your backup sources

00:27:31.880 We could turn off and on our natural gas-fired power, though we've had challenges now.

00:27:36.800 It's getting to the point where we're kind of maxing it up, but we can do it quickly if we need to.

00:27:41.460 With nuclear ability, is it able to really bring it on stream quickly and bring it off for on-demand sort of use?

00:27:48.100 Yeah.

00:27:48.420 So the terminology they use in the energy industry is capacity factor, and that's essentially almost a percentage of how consistent the power is.

00:27:57.260 So if you look at solar, it would be about like a 15% energy capacity.

00:28:02.760 And wind would be about a 25% capacity factor.

00:28:06.980 Nuclear is the highest.

00:28:08.060 It actually is a higher capacity factor than gas or coal or any other form of energy.

00:28:14.700 The highest capacity factor.

00:28:15.860 That means it is the most readily accessible amounts of energy for when you need it.

00:28:21.260 And you can ramp up and ramp that down very easily.

00:28:23.920 It's just a matter of control or insertion and extraction.

00:28:28.160 So not only is it the cleanest and safest form of energy, it's going to be the most consistent form of energy.

00:28:35.500 And it won't suffer from, unfortunately, what wind and solar need to do is install big storage facilities that are very expensive

00:28:41.720 and occupy big amounts of land mass to install and then still not be able to be consistent in their power up.

00:28:49.840 Yeah. And finally, I guess, as we kind of wrap up, that's been a big issue.

00:28:53.680 and in Alberta, we've had some battles was the amount of footprint that a solar or wind

00:28:57.940 generation facility takes up. I mean, with agricultural land or even just the visibly

00:29:03.020 is not necessarily aesthetically all that good. These modular plants are very, very small.

00:29:08.180 They're very, very small and they occupy a very small footprint. And look, we realized when we

00:29:14.460 launched the company and we were trying to identify how to design our reactors, what the

00:29:18.920 markets would be, we saw that actually, you know, the carbon, people complain about carbon

00:29:24.400 footprints, but the carbon footprint of actually occupying huge amounts of land with wind and

00:29:29.780 solar farms actually was quite significant. And so you can actually end up being quite a

00:29:33.800 polluting source of carbon emissions by installing these big facilities there that then aren't

00:29:39.840 consistent, that then need storage on top of that too. And the costs can run away with you,

00:29:44.260 Not just the land use can run away with you, but you end up needing to use, say, three or four times the land that you would think you would need for wind and solar because it's got to make up for that inconsistency and the intermittent power.

00:29:58.620 And so you've got to produce more and store it to make up for the fact that the wind doesn't always blow and the sun doesn't always shine.

00:30:04.580 Yeah, well, with the portability, the lack of emissions and the lack of intermittent

00:30:10.020 issues, I mean, they all sound to solve a lot of the challenges we've got going with

00:30:14.060 energy generation right now. I appreciate you coming in to talk to us today. And as

00:30:17.600 you pointed out, I mean, a lot of what we've got in our heads, I mean, they're legitimate

00:30:20.400 concerns on safety, but statistically, actually, yeah, they've always been quite safe. Where

00:30:24.940 can people find more information about your company and what's been going on with it?

00:30:29.140 I would go to nanonuclearenergy.com. You can sign up to our mailing list. We are on Twitter

00:30:36.020 and we do have Facebook, and you can follow us there too. But yes, please reach out to

00:30:40.740 us anytime. And look, anybody who does reach out to us, we will get an answer back to you quickly.

00:30:45.140 Great. Well, thank you very much for taking the time to join us today. I look forward to

00:30:49.860 seeing these new forms developing and moving in up here. I really do feel that we need to

00:30:54.420 start seeing some of that type of energy getting going up here instead of us keep spinning our

00:30:58.500 wheels and some of the less than reliable ones out there. Agreed. Thank you very much for having us

00:31:03.380 on, Corey. All right. Thanks again. So yes, check them out, guys. Nanonuclear energy. You know,

00:31:10.260 we really got to start thinking outside the box. And this is, you know, nuclear is not new, but

00:31:14.980 getting it down to this micro level, this portability. And as he said, you know, and

00:31:19.460 I noticed one of the commenters brought up Fukushima. Sure. But again, when we look at

00:31:23.620 a world with billions of people, when we look at thousands and thousands and thousands of means of

00:31:29.960 generation, whether it's coal, whether it's gas, whether it's nuclear, whether it's wind,

00:31:34.840 statistically, you know, the ones that cause the least amount of harm are still actually

00:31:38.360 nuclear. Yeah, we saw Chernobyl. But I mean, you got to think about that. That was during the

00:31:43.080 Soviet era. I mean, the Soviet Union couldn't even make a good alarm clock back in those days. I'm 0.85

00:31:47.760 surprised they only had one reactor meltdown. The world is lucky for that. We've gotten much better

00:31:52.800 since then. And that was the worst. I mean, when you think of thousands of reactors around the

00:31:56.460 world. So we, you know, we should open some of these discussions. I love Alberta being an energy 0.86

00:32:01.660 powerhouse. And, you know, instead of jealously guarding ourselves from other forms of energy

00:32:06.640 coming in, we should be looking at other ones we can embrace and small modular nuclear generation

00:32:11.600 could be most definitely another one of those ways. But of course, and I'll segue that in,

00:32:16.540 we got to watch for a government that taxes these businesses into oblivion or makes things

00:32:20.400 unviable up here no matter how optimistic we might be on that and uh we've got a government

00:32:26.240 that really is just determined to crush our economy as i sort of ranted about to kick off

00:32:30.800 the show so we're going to talk to somebody who specializes in all those taxes and goodness because

00:32:34.640 we've got our annual april first kick in the pants coming from the federal government and

00:32:39.040 franco tarazano of the canadian taxpayers federation is going to tell us all about it

00:32:43.200 hey franco hey cory great to be talking to you man hope you're doing well yeah good good yeah

00:32:48.720 it's been a while since you've been on it has yeah too long man too long since i've been back

00:32:53.120 in calgary as well yeah so the april 1st you know i know everybody jokes about being april fool's day

00:32:59.920 but it is also the day that the federal government really likes to kind of lay on the bulk of their

00:33:05.360 increases they kind of hit us i mean my theory has always been people are in a good mood winter's

00:33:09.360 melting off you know summer's approaching they're planning their vacations they got their tax return

00:33:15.120 perhaps and they might not be thinking about it as much so the government times that that real

00:33:19.200 swift kick at that period of the year uh what do we got going on this april well april one carbon

00:33:24.880 tax up alcohol taxes up and mp pay member of parliament pay you guessed it folks also going

00:33:31.600 up isn't that nice hey on the very same day that they take more money out of your wallet they're

00:33:37.040 going to be stuffing more money into their own now happy to break it all down but let's just start

00:33:42.960 with the member of parliament pay raise so right now you have a back a backbencher who's collecting

00:33:49.520 dust in the house of commons is also collecting 194 000 salary you have trudeau that's collecting

00:33:56.480 a salary about 389 000 bucks well the april one pay raise will range from an estimated extra 8 000

00:34:05.520 bucks for a back venture to an extra 16 000 for trudeau so let me just tell you what that salary

00:34:12.240 will be after the raise. Backbenchers, $202,000. Ministers like Freeland or Guibo, $299,000. Now,

00:34:22.780 I don't know why Freeland would get a raise when she can't balance the budget of a lemonade stand, 1.00

00:34:27.080 but that's another conversation. And the Prime Minister's salary after the raise, $405,000.

00:34:35.600 Do you guys do any comparisons with, say, other comparable countries to ours? Like,

00:34:40.040 Is Canada on the high side of compensation when it comes to our elected officials?

00:34:44.040 Yeah, I do remember even seeing the Hill Times do a comparison about this just after last year's

00:34:48.820 race, and Canada was, if I can remember correctly, one of the high ones among the G7.

00:34:54.180 I know for a long time we've also been quite high among Commonwealth countries, but what

00:34:59.800 also is unique, if I could use that word, about our federal government is that while

00:35:07.140 many other countries around the world saw politicians cut their pay during the lockdowns,

00:35:12.680 the pandemic years, like remember Jacinda Ardern, the prime minister of New Zealand blast from the

00:35:18.640 past, sorry folks, but she took a 20% pay cut when the pandemic happened. Her, her ministers

00:35:24.260 and her top bureaucrats, but every single year since the beginning of 2020, since these tough

00:35:29.960 times, MPs of all political parties have taken a raise every single year. So this April will be

00:35:36.320 their fifth pay raise since the beginning of 2020 so lockdowns pandemic job losses business losses

00:35:43.440 inflation housing crisis record number of canadians going to food banks didn't matter to mps they just

00:35:49.680 took another raise how about some of our other high profile people like our governor general

00:35:55.280 and such i imagine they've got some built-in uh lucre coming in for the year yeah well we haven't

00:36:00.960 released numbers on the governor general salary yet but in previous years yeah pay keeps going up

00:36:07.280 um another thing too right top bureaucrats they get bonuses almost every single government executive 0.99

00:36:14.000 is taking a bonus every year it's like 90 of government executives taking a bonus so you know

00:36:19.680 we hear these politicians all the time like to say we're all in this together we're all in this

00:36:24.800 together but they're not talking about you and me no no no no they're talking about all 338 of

00:36:30.720 of them up in Ottawa. That's who's in this together. Because look, folks, all political

00:36:35.780 parties, the deafening from every political party about the upcoming pay raise, or sorry,

00:36:42.240 the silence from them has been deafening. Look at me stumble over my own words here, folks.

00:36:47.060 But look, here's the thing, right? MPs could stop the pay raise tomorrow. They did so with

00:36:53.920 relatively simple legislation back in 2010 to 2013. All that's lacking now is just the political will

00:36:59.940 to actually stop taking more money. Well, that's it. And it gets me with some of those high

00:37:05.080 positions. I know we should pay them fairly well. I mean, we want to draw people from professions

00:37:09.840 that are, you know, they can bring that skill and apply it to an elected position. But boy,

00:37:14.280 some of the ones, especially in the high profile, like the prime minister or the governor general,

00:37:17.720 because they live lives that are practically expense-free. They're housed, their travel is

00:37:23.300 covered. They can expense virtually everything from meals to you name it. So, I mean, their

00:37:28.280 compensation is practically going straight into the bank uh you know on top of everything else

00:37:33.000 it's such a slap in the face when they're always telling the rest of us why we got to tighten our

00:37:36.360 belt well cory you know let me break down why this mp pay raises so bad even just beyond the

00:37:42.580 symbolism which is important you need leadership but even beyond that so number one you're talking

00:37:47.520 about attracting better people into government well we've been giving them raises every single

00:37:53.140 year for how many years now uh doesn't feel like government's getting any better but look

00:37:57.900 at the heart of it, I might say something controversial here, but at the heart of it,

00:38:01.540 I don't think we need better government. I don't think we need more elitists trying to control

00:38:06.780 Canadians' lives. We need less government. We need less government. That's what we need. Cut

00:38:11.820 taxes. Stop spending so much. Stop doing so much that you're doing that's creating all these

00:38:16.680 hardships. But number two, all these pay raises, you know what's happened? Our members of parliament,

00:38:23.320 The people in the House of Commons who are supposed to represent us common people, they've

00:38:29.120 become financially divorced from the reality that we live in. So no wonder they're raising all these

00:38:34.880 taxes, printing all these money, having these huge deficits that drive inflation. They don't feel it

00:38:40.440 like we do. But number three, if you want to balance the budget, you've got to take air out

00:38:45.900 of the ballooning bureaucracy in Ottawa. Okay. And before the major union went on strike last year

00:38:51.820 in ottawa they were pointing to member of parliament pay raises as a reason why the

00:38:57.300 bureaucrats should also take more money from taxpayers so look these mps they need to cut 0.80

00:39:03.680 their own pay so they have the moral authority to force the departments to actually find some

00:39:09.700 savings as well well yeah and you mean you brought up even new zealand i mean you're talking about

00:39:14.400 somebody who's certainly not a conservative who at least led by example in that front i'm going way

00:39:18.820 farther back for some of the folks I guess but that was one of the first things the Ralph Klein

00:39:23.560 did before he cut and he cut the civil service but he cut MLA pay first and they were still well

00:39:30.400 compensated but at least it showed hey we're taking our hit before we put it on to others

00:39:34.580 and if this federal government is showing no interest in trimming their own compensation

00:39:38.660 then yeah it doesn't look like they have any interest whatsoever in trimming the expenses

00:39:42.980 of the bureaucracy. And they don't. The Trudeau government has added, what, like 98,000 bureaucrats

00:39:50.600 since it came to power, a 40% increase. I think the total increase in payroll for the federal

00:39:56.900 government has gone up by more than 60% since 2016. Bonuses, pay raises, tens of thousands of

00:40:04.920 additional bureaucrats. And we wonder why our tax bill keeps going through the roof. And it's not

00:40:10.520 even just taxes that are going up, the debt is ballooning. The Trudeau government has essentially

00:40:14.980 doubled the entire federal debt since being in office. Okay. And what does that mean? Well,

00:40:21.880 let's look at interest charges. This year, interest charges on the debt will be $52 billion.

00:40:27.780 That's the same amount of money that the federal government sends to the provinces

00:40:32.060 in health transfers. In 2028, interest charges on the debt will be more than what the government

00:40:39.780 collects through its gst so every time you go to the store you buy that product you pay that gst

00:40:47.700 every penny they take from you will be from from the gst will be going just to pay interest charges

00:40:54.500 on the government credit card but but the taxes are good for us right i mean prime minister trudeau

00:40:59.460 just the other day said if he could just sit down with every canadian for five minutes he'd make us

00:41:04.340 understand why the carbon tax is actually good for us i maybe you can explain it because i i'm

00:41:09.860 not sure how he could convince me in five minutes to do that yeah as if like like it's almost

00:41:15.140 insulting to our intelligence it's not almost it is right it's it's almost like they think like

00:41:20.020 oh the rubes just don't understand our infinite wisdom and how good they've got it it's like no

00:41:25.220 no no we do understand that the carbon tax makes it more expensive for us to fuel our cars to get

00:41:31.060 to work we do understand that the carbon tax makes it more expensive for us to heat our homes during

00:41:36.260 winter we do understand that the carbon tax makes every trip to the grocery store more expensive

00:41:42.100 it's the politicians with these inflated salaries the inflated pensions the inflated perks who don't

00:41:48.340 understand what they're doing to the people and you know the carbon tax guess what folks going up

00:41:53.380 april one uh going up april one again uh it'll cost 17 cents a liter of gas about 21 cents per

00:42:00.180 liter of diesel and about 15 cents per cubic meter of natural gas and for the average alberta family

00:42:06.420 well the carbon tax will cost the average alberta family about 900 more in a year than what they get

00:42:13.380 back in rebates and that's funny we just can't afford to keep pumping out well all we can do is

00:42:19.220 keep shouting i mean i i know that trudeau is not going to convince us the carbon tax is good but

00:42:23.060 maybe you can convince enough elected elected officials that it's bad i appreciate you guys

00:42:28.020 of the federation holding their feet to the fire where can people find more information on what

00:42:31.700 you're up to franco hey if you guys like uh what we're doing head over to taxpayer.com sign a

00:42:36.500 couple petitions uh you can follow us on essentially all big social media platforms

00:42:41.780 just type in canadian taxpayers federation if you want to follow me just type in at franco

00:42:46.900 underscore nomics and corey thank you so much for having me on today uh i hope you have a great rest

00:42:51.540 of your day yeah you too thanks franco good to see you again cheers man all right so yes just

00:42:57.300 Just a reminder, guys, it's Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

00:42:59.460 And yeah, they really do.

00:43:00.500 They dig in there.

00:43:01.680 You know, some of that dry stuff.

00:43:02.980 I mean, it's economics, but it does impact you

00:43:05.800 whether you like it or not.

00:43:07.020 Let the pointy-headed geeks like Franco 0.61

00:43:08.740 and the others dig in there and get that 0.89

00:43:10.440 and encapsulate it for you

00:43:11.840 so you can see just how badly you're taking it.

00:43:14.120 And they do a great job of it.

00:43:15.160 So check out their site, guys, the Taxpayers Federation.

00:43:18.100 Lots of resources.

00:43:19.540 And yeah, I mean, you know,

00:43:21.260 the media certainly doesn't seem to be holding government

00:43:23.340 to account anymore.

00:43:24.220 So we can count on perhaps groups

00:43:26.440 like the Taxpayers Federation and Franco to do it.

00:43:28.840 I'll kind of close off with one other spending thing I, you know, we saw recently.

00:43:33.080 So the Liberal government has decided they're going to fund the UNRWA again.

00:43:37.780 You know, that's the United Nations branch. 0.83

00:43:40.760 The whole United Nations is sick.

00:43:42.240 I don't think we should be giving any money to the entire organization.

00:43:46.100 But of all of them, the UNRWA, I mean, even they had to admit, most developed countries,

00:43:53.460 As soon as they found out that that group, and again, it doesn't matter where you are on the Israel-Palestine issue or whatever's happening over there, that group was corrupted.

00:44:03.280 That group was funding, their employees were taking part with Hamas.

00:44:09.120 This was problematic, to say the least.

00:44:11.740 In fact, most of the world was appalled.

00:44:13.820 And most of the countries in the world said, we're not giving you any more money to fund terrorist activities over there.

00:44:20.000 That was supposed to be helping people on the ground.

00:44:21.940 that was supposed to be helping Palestinians.

00:44:24.100 Well, what did we get out of Calgary here?

00:44:26.860 I mean, out of Canada.

00:44:28.440 Canada jumped on and said, yes, we're going to cut the funding.

00:44:30.380 Oh, but we already just cut the last check.

00:44:32.020 So, you know, we won't cut that one.

00:44:34.060 And then basically yesterday they said, yeah, we're going to keep giving them money again.

00:44:39.180 They never really stopped.

00:44:40.800 They never really stopped.

00:44:41.580 When we're tight on money in general, and this is when the government starts, you know,

00:44:47.200 again, no matter what side of that conflict you're on, is this where our money's supposed to be

00:44:52.000 going? Or if you really want it to be humanitarian, there's better humanitarian groups than that

00:44:58.060 corrupted pile of crap Hamas funding group, the UNRWA. I mean, they were tied to Hamas. It sounds 0.98

00:45:06.180 like they were teachers, of course, which were teaching children about the evils of Jews and the 1.00

00:45:10.040 usual crap. That was through that same UNRWA group. This government is taking our money and throwing 0.99

00:45:15.180 it all over the place on interests that are not serving us whatsoever. That's just the latest.

00:45:21.220 It's just the latest. We've got to get it under control. I started the show off by kind of

00:45:25.040 going on about, you know, again, our GDP per capita ratio, which really indicates how badly

00:45:32.280 down the economic toilet we're going right now. And then we see this government that's out of

00:45:36.240 control, just throwing our money away left and right. As Franco said, they're borrowing us over

00:45:41.300 a trillion dollars. We're talking billions of dollars. I hate that in my household budget when

00:45:45.580 you see money going away to interest payments, right? That's borrowed money. That's just money

00:45:49.180 flushed away. Well, we're getting that money flushed away now. More than we're bringing in

00:45:52.820 in GST is going out in interest. And there's the irony of the left. Oh, we hate big corporate

00:45:57.380 entities. We can't stand those corporate folks. Well, what do you think? It's a mom and pop lender

00:46:02.720 on the corner that's lending the federal government the money to do all this crap? No, 0.99

00:46:05.920 that's just the big financial institutions and your money is going to them in interest rather

00:46:09.620 than healthcare or any of the things you feel government should be spending money on. We've got

00:46:13.560 some serious problems, folks. But hey, you guys who've been tuning in, you're keeping up with it.

00:46:18.160 You know what's going on. I like trying to keep you up to date on it. I have run out of time to

00:46:22.960 twist your ear for today. I'm sure we'll make things positive somehow in the long run. We just

00:46:27.180 got to keep at it and keep on them. So thank you very much for tuning in today, guys. Tune in

00:46:32.020 tonight. The pipeline will be on. I'll be hosting that with a panel of a couple other folks. And

00:46:37.440 we will see you all again here next week at this time to dive into a whole pile more issues. Thanks

00:46:43.480 again. Canadian Shooting Sports Association. Without the CSSA, our gun rights would have

00:46:49.280 been taken long, long ago. These guys are on the front lines, helping to draft smart and

00:46:55.380 intelligent firearms regulations and legislation in Canada. And more importantly, educating the

00:47:01.160 public about how we keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people to become a member. It's

00:47:05.860 Absolutely worth every penny.

00:47:35.860 Thank you.
