Western Standard - CMS： Trudeau’s is knowingly causing Canada’s housing crisis

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 Good day. Welcome to the Cory Morgan Show. As the name would imply, I am indeed Cory Morgan.

00:00:35.040 I'm going to bend your ear for the next hour and some. And as always, we've got lots to cover.

00:00:41.520 This is our weekly show with the Western Standard covering news, talking to guests and hearing my

00:00:46.940 general opinions and rantings on issues of the day. And there's always a lot of issues. It seems

00:00:52.660 to get crazier by the day. I mean, the news is sometimes hard to even believe whether it's real

00:00:57.180 or not. Fake news, you can see why the term has become popularized so much. But unfortunately,

00:01:02.580 it seems the craziest of the news out there tends to be the true stuff. We'll cover a whole lot of

00:01:06.840 that. I got a good guest coming in today. It's Jay Hill. He's the former House Leader for the

00:01:11.200 Conservative Party of Canada. Many, many years of experience in the House of Commons as a

00:01:17.060 parliamentarian, as we do have a fall session coming up. We've got a lot of issues about to

00:01:22.580 hit this fall with Justin Trudeau plummeting in the polls. We've got a housing crisis. We have

00:01:28.300 all sorts of fantastic things going on, and we'll see how things are looking going into that season

00:01:34.080 and what we can look forward to, I guess, as that goes. So for you guys tuning in live,

00:01:40.420 hey, use that comment section. I see a few of you there, North Run Grader and others.

00:01:45.320 Absolutely. I love having that discussion going. Send those comments and questions my way or my

00:01:48.940 guests' way. We'll try and get to them. I don't necessarily read them all out, but I do see them

00:01:52.320 and I appreciate it. Just keep things civil, guys. We don't have to be at each other's throats. We

00:01:57.200 have Twitter for that. So let me get on to what has got me going today. I've got my usual opinion

00:02:05.480 on things. And we do have a serious problem building on us right now. I mean, Canada, 0.82

00:02:10.680 we need to have a serious discussion about our immigration levels. We have to have it fast. 1.00

00:02:16.060 And it's a subject that conservative politicians, they shy away from as they're going to inevitably

00:02:20.380 be accused of racism. And of course, progressive politicians don't want to get into the issue

00:02:24.600 because it's been such an effective wedge against the conservatives. The politics have to stop,

00:02:29.420 though, and reality has to set in. Canada is heading into a socioeconomic crisis due to the

00:02:35.140 current immigration policies. A lack of affordable housing is hitting crisis levels across the

00:02:39.900 country. It's causing citizens and immigrants alike to suffer while politicians spin their

00:02:44.520 wheels with discussions of everything from rent control to basement suites, but they won't dare

00:02:48.920 touch the immigration issue. One provincial cabinet minister in Nova Scotia even hinted

00:02:53.240 encouraging people with spare rooms to take borders into your homes. Now, a few politicians

00:02:58.720 have the courage to state what's become the obvious. Canada needs to slam the brakes on

00:03:02.620 immigration levels and hard. I mean, to add insult to injury, a recent memo was leaked to

00:03:08.140 Key and Bextie's counter signal online that exposed that Prime Minister Trudeau was well aware

00:03:13.700 of the crisis his immigration policies are fostering, and he purposely chose to ignore it.

00:03:18.920 i mean people have accepted that trudeau is far from the sharpest prime minister the nation's

00:03:22.760 ever had it was quite believable to think justin truly didn't realize the damages his policies 0.96

00:03:27.480 would cause not that we should forgive trudeau for his acts of idiocy but it's worse when he 0.98

00:03:32.040 actually knowingly causes the damage rather than ignorantly the numbers presented in the 0.99

00:03:37.000 memo were chilling this is what trudeau saw himself things are bad and they're poised to

00:03:40.760 become much worse here's a quote direct from the report given directly to trudeau

00:03:44.760 and authored by Secretary of the Cabinet, Janice Charette.

00:03:49.580 CMHC, which is the Mortgage and Housing Corporation,

00:03:52.140 projects that the housing stock in Canada will grow approximately 2.3 units between 2021 and 2030.

00:03:59.060 When it incorporates economic factors alongside demographic factors,

00:04:02.820 it projects an additional 3.5 million additional housing units are needed

00:04:07.560 beyond the current projections to restore affordability.

00:04:11.620 Think of those numbers.

00:04:12.800 We're going to be short three and a half million units within the next seven years if we maintain this immigration course. 0.99

00:04:19.840 And that memo states it outright. Immigration is the thing that's causing the challenge.

00:04:23.700 It says the nation's going to need 665,000 new units a year to keep up with demand.

00:04:28.140 In 2021, only 223,000 were built. You don't need to be a mathematician to see the looming catastrophe here.

00:04:34.900 So why is Trudeau so fixated, even when warned, on bringing in record numbers of immigrants when it's harming the nation so much? 1.00

00:04:42.060 even when the memos are coming in?

00:04:43.820 Well, there's no sense beating around the bush here.

00:04:46.100 The reason Trudeau won't bend 0.96

00:04:47.140 is because he's a self-serving narcissist 0.78

00:04:48.920 who's using mass immigration 0.95

00:04:50.180 to try and cover up his years

00:04:51.460 of gross fiscal mismanagement.

00:04:54.600 Trudeau and his finance minister, Christia Freeland,

00:04:56.800 have been crowing of late

00:04:58.000 about how Canada is among the world leaders

00:04:59.860 in GDP growth since the pandemic.

00:05:02.380 And yeah, that's true.

00:05:03.740 The reason, though, Canada is experiencing

00:05:05.580 modest GDP growth, by the way,

00:05:07.460 is because the massive numbers of immigrants 1.00

00:05:09.380 have been brought into the country.

00:05:11.620 Immigrants bring resources and skills, and they do help spur the economy.

00:05:14.900 It gives the nation an injection of economic activity and bumps the overall GDP.

00:05:19.880 The problem is, though, the GDP per capita is falling.

00:05:24.280 See, while the nation as a whole is reporting growing economic numbers,

00:05:27.240 citizens as individuals are becoming poorer.

00:05:29.980 The economic bump from immigration isn't enough to cover the spreading of the wealth among more people.

00:05:35.240 I mean, think of the examples this way.

00:05:36.420 Look at India. Their economy and GDP have been growing for years, and good on them.

00:05:40.880 The nation still has a long way to go to catch up to the Western world.

00:05:44.180 Their GDP is $3.2 trillion compared to Canada's $1.98.

00:05:48.180 Gross GDP numbers don't reflect the nation's affluence, though, as well as per capita numbers do.

00:05:53.780 India's GDP per capita, for example, is $2,250.

00:05:58.080 Canada's GDP is $52,000.

00:06:00.700 Now, Canada's per capita GDP numbers are seriously lagging, though, compared to comparable countries.

00:06:05.620 Australia, over 60,000, and the United States is at 71,000.

00:06:11.400 Hours is dropping.

00:06:13.020 With the abundance of resources in Canada, the low per capita GDP figures have to be due to poor governance.

00:06:18.600 Using mass immigration to cover for the government overspending is participating in essentially a Ponzi scheme.

00:06:24.560 Eventually, this house of cards is going to collapse, and while Canadians will suffer dearly, 0.98

00:06:28.600 Trudeau probably will have headed out to retire on a tropical island somewhere by then.

00:06:32.460 He doesn't care.

00:06:33.800 And as the leaked memo proves, he knows exactly what he's been doing.

00:06:37.360 Health care systems are strained.

00:06:39.240 Educational institutions are packed in housing.

00:06:41.360 Prices are going through the roof.

00:06:43.280 We probably can't avoid the looming economic crash due to the unchecked immigration numbers, 1.00

00:06:47.280 but we can still mitigate it.

00:06:49.080 And I'm not calling to bring immigration numbers to zero.

00:06:51.400 We need new citizens and immigrants bring a plethora of benefits to the country.

00:06:56.560 But we can and must dramatically reduce those numbers right now until we can keep up with it.

00:07:00.680 The current numbers are unsustainable, and a housing crisis in a winter nation can be catastrophic.

00:07:06.200 Not to mention tensions are going to form between citizens and new Canadians, whether we like that or not.

00:07:10.340 It's not fair to either existing citizens or the new immigrants. 1.00

00:07:13.920 Political leaders need to find their courage and call this out.

00:07:16.480 And yes, they're going to be called racists and xenophobes by the usual suspects.

00:07:20.000 In the long run, though, they could be praised for mitigating the damage caused by a prime minister

00:07:23.920 whose sociopathy won't allow them to do the right thing for the nation.

00:07:28.020 And that's what's got me going today, guys.

00:07:29.460 I mean, the housing crisis, it's been topping political discussion in every level, municipal, provincial, and of course, federal.

00:07:39.480 But nobody's pointing, well, some people are pointing to one of the biggest challenges with it.

00:07:45.620 I mean, we've got students coming in this year.

00:07:47.360 I was listening to that as I tortured myself with Legacy Talk Radio this morning.

00:07:51.580 800,000 foreign students coming into Canada this year.

00:07:55.100 Same sort of thing.

00:07:56.780 It helps the post-secondary institutions.

00:07:58.640 they charge a premium for the foreign students to come in and take those courses. But the problem

00:08:03.020 is, of course, that's 800,000 individuals that need to be housed. That's 800,000 seats at the,

00:08:09.480 you know, the classroom, the lecture halls that are being taken up. And we don't necessarily have

00:08:13.540 the ability to keep up with that. We're looking at the short term economic gain. And in the long

00:08:19.780 run, though, we're causing a very serious problem. Plus, a lot of people are talking, it's not just,

00:08:24.220 again, existing, you know, citizens who are suffering because of this. A real problem is a

00:08:28.500 lot of those students, they're coming over, they're coming in for the school year, they can't find

00:08:32.240 somewhere to live. I mean, they don't have local connections, networks, it's not even like they can

00:08:36.640 couch surf with friends. This is a real problem, but it's just so unforgivable to find out that

00:08:42.840 Trudeau actually knew about it. He was told, because everybody's been saying outright that

00:08:47.520 the immigration levels don't cause the housing problem. He knows it does, and he didn't care, 1.00

00:08:53.480 because, again, his ideology, his hopes for a legacy,

00:08:58.540 something like that, put it beyond imposing any reality on it.

00:09:06.600 Let's see what else we've got.

00:09:08.840 Looking at the Western Standard, I'm afraid Dave Naylor,

00:09:11.140 our news editor, usually comes in at this time

00:09:13.100 and gives us an update and everything else that's going on out there,

00:09:16.420 but he's not available today, so you're stuck with me for the whole thing,

00:09:20.040 at least until J. Hale gets in here.

00:09:21.460 But one of the great stories that's been sitting high up there on the Western Standard site there, westernstandard.news, is from Linda Slobodian. She writes fantastic columns, very prolific on the Western Standard. And saying, not enough soldiers to stand on guard for thee or anybody else. This is another problem happening in Canada. Our armed forces are, they're atrophying, they're shriveling. We've been hearing about this for years. And again, same sort of thing.

00:09:45.220 The prime minister pays lip service to it. He loves flying overseas and pretending Canada's

00:09:49.720 a player with NATO or other large nations. They don't take him seriously. They don't take Canada

00:09:54.300 seriously. Part of it is we can't pull our weight when it comes to military spending. We won't

00:09:59.220 pull our weight when it comes to military spending. So yeah, we're at 34,000 people now

00:10:04.200 in our complete military forces, and it's expected to drop to 31,000. Again, and this was warned by

00:10:12.500 our retired Lieutenant Colonel David Redmond. We've got a real problem as our forces continue

00:10:18.700 to decline. And you know, it's not just for overseas peacekeeping, things like that. We have

00:10:21.880 seen with emergencies, fires, a lot of domestic needs, having a large, you know, armed forces or

00:10:28.040 people on the ground, it can be very, very good and, you know, beneficial for the country. But

00:10:32.780 we're letting that lag. Again, this is the government, the nation of kicking the can down

00:10:38.100 the road. They just don't want to make hard decisions. So these shouldn't even be hard

00:10:42.100 decisions. But nah, we'll just put that off. We'll put that off. We'll put that off. It's going to

00:10:46.060 be a big, big mess to clean up whenever the heck Trudeau's out of there. Let's see, something else

00:10:52.520 to talk about, of course, the Tamara Leach-Chris Barber trial. That's been going on. So, you know,

00:10:58.900 the full criminal trial started, I believe, yesterday in Ottawa and the courts there.

00:11:05.020 They're quibbling over whether it was an occupation or not. It's going to be a little painful watching

00:11:09.580 the defense and, you know, such going at each other. I mean, basically they're rehashing all

00:11:15.700 of the discussions that we've heard over the last year, particularly with the bail hearings when

00:11:20.800 they were inexcusably holding, you know, Tamara Leach without bail as if she was really going to

00:11:27.200 present a threat of forming another convoy to go out to Ottawa or something like that. I don't

00:11:33.580 think, as Cindy says, they're not going to get a fair trial. I don't know. You know, we'll see.

00:11:39.880 There's some justices who do take their job seriously, but it's hard to say.

00:11:43.080 I mean, there's definitely the government wants to make an example of them.

00:11:48.160 They want to crush them down.

00:11:49.540 We're seeing the weight of the law falling on people for organizing this peaceful protest.

00:11:53.320 And it was.

00:11:53.680 It was a problematic, you know, and it certainly caused a lot of ire and economic disruption.

00:11:59.120 But it was peaceful compared to many, many protests that weren't of all sorts.

00:12:03.760 We've never seen such a prosecution of people for something like this.

00:12:08.320 And no, Cindy, I doubt they will get a fair one

00:12:11.760 because we know we've seen that recently as well,

00:12:14.020 that Trudeau, you know, the amount of judges

00:12:17.200 who coincidentally were appointed by Trudeau

00:12:19.420 and happened to have donated to his political causes,

00:12:23.060 there's quite an overlap going on in there.

00:12:25.540 So they want to keep Justin Trudeau happy.

00:12:27.400 The biggest crime the convoy committed

00:12:29.820 was to embarrass Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 0.61

00:12:32.560 the egotistical, vain little man Prime Minister we have.

00:12:37.340 And of course, he looked to, you know, he doesn't even really care so much what Canadians think. 0.57

00:12:40.500 He wants to look good on the world scene.

00:12:42.560 And the world looked and saw a man who had lost control of his own country,

00:12:45.640 who invoked the Emergencies Act against his own citizens over a protest that probably could have been calmed if he just had the wits.

00:12:53.560 And that's a big ask of him.

00:12:54.620 I understand that.

00:12:55.600 But still, to get out there and actually communicate with them at first, or at least gain that high ground, get out there, talk to them.

00:13:02.040 He wouldn't do it.

00:13:02.860 He wouldn't do it.

00:13:03.620 he dug his little heels in with his cute little socks and said, no, let's invoke the Emergencies

00:13:07.840 Act, just like my dada did. Because I think Justin wants to, he's got some big shoes to fill there

00:13:13.520 with his father. And that wasn't the right path to go to try and do so. Let's see, Mr. Stoneley

00:13:22.960 commenter saying, almost every problem Canada has is due to immigration. See, that I disagree with.

00:13:27.840 You see, and that's where the discussion goes a little wrong somewhat too and everything.

00:13:30.600 the problem isn't immigration in itself. It's unchecked immigration. It's mass immigration.

00:13:36.900 We get 500,000 people a year, and that's not including the students and temporary workers

00:13:40.600 and visas and things like that coming in, and we can't necessarily accommodate them. But we still

00:13:45.000 need immigrants coming in from all over the world, all sorts of countries. And they bring in all

00:13:49.120 sorts of skills, fantastic benefits for us in many, many ways. So, I mean, it's not a black and 1.00

00:13:54.940 white conversation, this one. It's a matter, though, of responsibly having immigration,

00:13:59.920 you know, looking at it with a plan, making sure that you can integrate and accommodate,

00:14:05.900 whether socially or economically or both, when you're bringing people in. And we are not doing 0.93

00:14:12.300 that. We are not doing that. I was listening and it was, you know, a lot of Ukrainian refugees have 1.00

00:14:17.900 been brought into Canada and people have been putting them up and things such as that. We're

00:14:21.020 actually having some that have been seeing it. They're leaving Alberta and going back to Ukraine

00:14:26.080 because they can't afford the cost of living out here

00:14:31.160 and they're having difficulty settling in

00:14:32.800 and getting established.

00:14:34.060 If you're going to bring in the refugees, great, 1.00

00:14:36.400 but you've got to be able to accommodate them

00:14:39.240 and that's what we don't do.

00:14:40.340 We social, you know, virtue signal.

00:14:42.060 I shouldn't say we so much,

00:14:43.180 but I guess, you know, it's on our behalf.

00:14:44.960 And Trudeau loves doing that.

00:14:45.960 So he's going to be the world savior

00:14:47.140 and offers to bring so many people in, which is great.

00:14:49.940 But if you can't properly house and accommodate them,

00:14:53.520 then you're not doing them any favors

00:14:54.800 nor anybody else around them. Again, it's not saying go to zero, but we've got to reestablish

00:15:02.280 what the heck is going on, what's going to be the proper levels to balance things with us right now.

00:15:10.420 As I said, it's a Ponzi scheme right now, and it's for Trudeau's political benefit,

00:15:14.980 not for the nation's benefit. All right, but setting the federal stage a little bit before I

00:15:20.220 get to my guest here who's just come in and been seated. We got Jay Hill in, as I said earlier,

00:15:27.000 was the Conservative House leader for quite some years. He was in politics in Parliament for quite

00:15:33.320 a while. I don't want to fully date you there, but you're a little past 40. And yeah, I love it when

00:15:39.140 you come in because you can add so much experienced insight into the federal scene. And we're coming

00:15:44.340 into another political season this year that looks like a lively one. Well, thanks, Corey. It's always

00:15:49.380 a pleasure to be on your program and exchange points of view with yourself and obviously have

00:15:56.120 a voice with the audience that you've attracted to your program. Yeah, thanks. So we've got what's

00:16:03.600 obviously going to be a very heated session coming up. I mean, they always are, but some can be worse

00:16:08.700 than others. And we've got a federal government that seems to finally be on the rocks, I guess

00:16:13.520 you could say. I mean, in the polls, they're really dipping terribly. The prime minister

00:16:17.780 They've been trying a cabinet shuffle and other little things to see if he can't reset the clock.

00:16:21.400 And it doesn't seem to have worked.

00:16:24.280 What do you think, you know, I guess strategically, we can look forward to from the Liberals to try and reestablish themselves as this session hits.

00:16:31.080 I mean, they've got to really try and take control.

00:16:34.300 Well, they do. And I don't see anything on the horizon, Corey.

00:16:38.280 I mean, we haven't heard of any new initiatives, any new government legislation.

00:16:42.700 It's a bit early because we're still a couple of weeks out of the reconvening of Parliament on the 18th.

00:16:48.800 So it's a little bit early to know exactly what legislation the government's going to be bringing forward when the House of Commons starts sitting again.

00:16:57.840 But we haven't heard anything, you know, that would be sort of a piece of legislation, perhaps a bit controversial,

00:17:05.360 but certainly with widespread support that could shift the focus, in particular, the focus of the

00:17:13.600 media, but also of the opposition parties away from a secession of scandal. And as you were

00:17:21.620 mentioning, just the immigration issue alone, just before I came on your program, there are so many

00:17:28.660 issues. I was taking a look at it when I knew I was going to come on your show. And it's going to

00:17:33.640 be very difficult for the opposition to focus and narrow it down to say two or three issues

00:17:39.380 because there's so many that have been a minor crisis for Trudeau and his government and

00:17:47.700 immigration is one. I mean, because it's directly linked to the housing crisis, right? As you were

00:17:55.340 saying, is that why are we increasing immigration? We should be decreasing it, but why are we 1.00

00:18:01.580 increasing immigration when there are two major problems for new immigrants. One is to

00:18:08.480 get some reasonably priced housing if they can find any at all. And the second one

00:18:13.860 is the dismal state of our healthcare system. You know, are they going to be able to get a doctor

00:18:18.460 for themselves and their families? And yet Trudeau seems to be oblivious to this. And that's just

00:18:24.580 one of the crises that is facing this government. So it'll be interesting to see what's the focus

00:18:29.880 of question period in particular. Yeah. Well, and it's really like when you look at the polls

00:18:33.940 right now, what people say is their top issue, the main one that's hitting everybody, it's cost

00:18:37.840 of living. And that kind of packs in food and housing, post-secondary education, you name it,

00:18:42.560 everything's going through the roof. Owning a car is expensive right now. Everybody's worrying

00:18:46.560 about that. And there are a whole pile of things contributing to that rising cost of living,

00:18:51.820 whether it's interest rates being hiked, whether it's the immigration, whether it's

00:18:55.920 supply chain issues still from COVID.

00:18:59.280 I mean, all sorts of contributing things.

00:19:00.960 But the prime minister seems fixated on his ideological legacy,

00:19:05.560 that the climate change, the carbon tax, the, I mean, I'm just,

00:19:10.280 my speculation is they need to make an ideological shift,

00:19:12.780 but is this a government that's capable of doing that?

00:19:14.800 Or is he just set in his ways now?

00:19:17.480 Well, I think you've really hit it right, you know,

00:19:20.440 the major issue right on the head here when you talk about it.

00:19:24.280 it really truly is government by ideology. I mean, I've never seen anything like this. You haven't

00:19:30.300 seen anything like this, Corey. I would argue we've never had anything, a government that is

00:19:35.860 so driven ideologically to impact every segment of the economy, everything to do with people's

00:19:45.020 everyday way of life. And finally, it's starting to resonate even outside of Western Canada. I mean,

00:19:49.980 And the West is always the first to really support the freedoms and our democracy.

00:19:57.160 But it's finally starting to sink in a little bit down in East, in Central Canada as well.

00:20:03.300 Now, whether this government can shift at all, I don't believe they can.

00:20:06.480 They certainly haven't shown any sign of it for eight years.

00:20:10.600 We have to remember he has been in office, he being Justin Trudeau, for eight long years now.

00:20:17.520 And it really boggles the mind that this guy could not only get elected with it originally in a majority and then twice more with a minority, but effectively a majority because of the weakness of Jagmeet Singh.

00:20:30.780 There's going to be some major issues.

00:20:32.420 As you know, the trial of Chris Barber and Tamara Leish, that travesty of our justice system is underway right now.

00:20:41.120 And it's scheduled to complete roughly about the time when the House will start sitting.

00:20:47.540 And regardless of how the verdict goes for those two individuals, I think it's going to be incredibly damaging for the government.

00:20:55.040 Because it's really going to point out the failure of this prime minister and this government to properly address the concerns of everyday Canadians.

00:21:05.080 Yeah, and it's just rehashing, I guess, another segment.

00:21:08.800 That was an indication of a government in a panic, a government that had lost control of its own citizens and its own city, for crying out loud.

00:21:15.740 and it's just nothing else that they need to distract themselves with as this session comes

00:21:20.600 forward. But the, as you pointed out as well, like the shift, I think that stands out the most when

00:21:27.460 we're looking at polling anyways, it's not just one outlier. It's been pretty consistent. The

00:21:31.000 liberals are in free fall right now. We haven't seen anything like that since they got in.

00:21:34.480 The demographic breakdown, I mean, so conservatives have typically been popular, most of them with

00:21:39.360 Folks like us, you know, gray in the hair, Westerners and into a little past 40.

00:21:45.360 But I mean, this isn't the growth of that demographic in support for the conservatives.

00:21:49.460 The youth are turning towards the conservatives.

00:21:51.700 Women who typically didn't support conservatives are turning towards conservatives.

00:21:55.600 That's showing more of a sea change, a shift in the mood of the nation that, again, I can't believe the liberals.

00:22:03.240 I mean, they're usually astute political players.

00:22:05.940 They can't seem to see this trouble coming on the horizon.

00:22:07.860 Yeah, no, I agree completely. It'll be interesting to see what the backroom boys are saying, if it leaks out what they're saying to Trudeau, as far as advice on that front. Because as you say, their voting pool, as it were, is shrinking.

00:22:25.560 And so we'll have to see.

00:22:30.240 There was a great article in National Post, Corey, today about 12 conservatives, I believe it was, up-and-coming conservatives to watch.

00:22:39.540 And it shows the depth of the conservative party.

00:22:43.160 Because as you know, you and I have been around a long time with this political business.

00:22:48.400 it shows that that despite the fact that governments are usually defeated not elected

00:22:54.000 there is a wealth of depth to the existing conservative caucus and there's a lot of young

00:23:01.080 people as you say and I think that's a big reason like not only do they have a young leader in Pierre

00:23:06.140 Polyev but they have people like Shuv Majumder that was just elected in Calgary Heritage with

00:23:13.560 a massive mandate, I would argue. And Shoev is that age, you know, around the 40. He's got a lot

00:23:20.240 of experience, but he's still, you know, compared to some of us, young. And so there's a real wealth

00:23:27.820 of experience there for Canadians to take a look at, so that they're not just voting out a corrupt,

00:23:35.660 incompetent government, but they're going to elect some great people.

00:23:39.760 Yeah. And just to sidetrack, since you brought up Shuv, I've known Shuv a while. I love the guy and he's brilliant. I mean, I'd really like to see a conservative government, if only to see him working within foreign affairs. We're talking somebody with talent, not Melanie Jolie or something like that.

00:23:52.880 to actually start speaking on an intellectual level with foreign dignitaries leaders and things

00:23:58.140 such as that. She's been on the show a number of times. And just as you said, that sort of depth,

00:24:03.040 I mean, he wasn't elected as a political token by any means or anything. He's a very smart guy

00:24:10.360 who's going to do some good stuff if he gets the chance and gets out of the position.

00:24:12.680 Yeah, he isn't like some of the parties of the left that are just attracted to nominating

00:24:17.560 candidates because they're a visible minority. I mean, he is that, and proudly so. But he was

00:24:24.920 really nominated and elected, I would argue, on the depth of his experience, the way he's so

00:24:32.320 articulate, the way he can explain in-depth policy in the way that an average Canadian can understand.

00:24:37.980 And if we had a cabinet made up of people like Shubma Jumder instead of the disastrous group of people that Trudeau is attracted, we would see Canada start to revert from being the embarrassment we've become and return to a cabinet of experienced and capable people like we had under Stephen Harper.

00:25:03.340 Well, yeah, that's the, Trudeau's backed himself into a corner.

00:25:06.820 I mean, if you're going to try and reinvent yourself through a cabinet shuffle and change

00:25:10.480 things, fair enough, it happens in politics.

00:25:13.020 But you should be looking based on merit.

00:25:15.200 And he binds himself with, well, I'm going to make sure I check all those, you know,

00:25:20.560 social gesturing off and I got to have half of them being women.

00:25:23.800 And it's not saying women aren't, you know, fantastic cabinet ministers at times. 1.00

00:25:28.320 But if you have fewer of them in caucus than you do men, you have a smaller pool to draw 0.64

00:25:32.360 from. And he hasn't based his cabinet typically on merit. He's done it just on filling boxes and

00:25:38.780 that won't help turn the tide right now. Well, I think, you know, having been involved on the

00:25:43.580 periphery with Stephen Harper, when he went through his cabinet selection process, I know it's a

00:25:49.740 terribly, terribly difficult job. But as you say, there is a balance between doing sort of what is

00:25:56.300 socially acceptable, you know, the number of women, you have to have regional representation, 0.96

00:26:01.760 You know, at least one cabinet minister from each of the 10 provinces, that type of thing.

00:26:07.160 But the underlying thing should always be competence, I think.

00:26:12.300 And certainly that has not been the case for eight years now.

00:26:15.780 And it's been eight long years because of it and embarrassing years at the federal, international level.

00:26:21.920 Well, Trudeau's cabinet has been a reflection of himself as far as depth goes.

00:26:26.340 And it's just not served Canada well.

00:26:28.420 So, I mean, certainly chomping at the bit, and you can tell it's already got a campaign feel to it.

00:26:32.480 Though we might very well probably be two years away from a campaign yet.

00:26:35.660 But Paulyev has, you know, been rebranding a bit himself.

00:26:38.420 The glasses are gone.

00:26:40.220 You know, the certain tie is a little...

00:26:42.500 He's working out.

00:26:43.540 You can see the biceps.

00:26:45.560 I know I could do it.

00:26:46.480 The pipes are showing.

00:26:47.340 And people called it fickle and so on.

00:26:49.520 But, you know, it seems to be resonating.

00:26:51.300 And that latest ad, I saw even some liberal commentators who said,

00:26:54.940 But that was a really good ad because it was reaching out, wasn't condescending, and he's reaching to, again, as he said, you know, the common people, the folks on the ground, the ones who are struggling to pay the bills.

00:27:06.300 He's saying, look, I hear you.

00:27:08.620 Let's do this.

00:27:09.400 I mean, that's the people that have to be won, not the elites in Toronto or, you know, the others that the ideologues have been targeting for so long.

00:27:16.020 And, again, I think this is where the Liberals are dropping the ball and Poliev's party. 0.86

00:27:21.080 Well, as you said, Corey, the number one issue, we can never forget that is the economy and how

00:27:26.740 it affects people's wallets. And people are struggling right now. They're really struggling.

00:27:32.440 Families are making tough choices. Kids are just going back to school. Are they wearing hand-me-downs

00:27:37.300 or can they actually afford to get a new set of clothes for little Johnny to go to grade one?

00:27:42.320 You know, these are tough choices. And the cost of groceries, we talked about it the last time I

00:27:48.540 on your program, it's only got worse. Inflation is largely driven, in my belief, by continued

00:27:54.640 government overspending. This government has wasted billions upon billions upon billions of

00:28:00.700 dollars, and they continue to. And that drives up inflation, that type of wanton spending on the

00:28:07.580 part of our government. And yet they take no responsibility for the crisis they've committed.

00:28:14.180 look at the growth in carbon tax. You know, there's a growing awareness amongst all Canadians

00:28:20.300 that we are not going to solve climate change if there is such a thing as man-made climate change.

00:28:27.440 We're not going to solve it by taxing ourselves. We're heading into a winter season soon,

00:28:32.820 unfortunately, in my opinion, and people are going to have to turn up the thermostat.

00:28:37.700 How are they going to be able to afford to do that with the price of groceries? And so these

00:28:42.100 are the issues that I hope that Pierre continues to focus on because they're the issues that really

00:28:47.340 matter. That's it and I mean I said it before on Twitter a little while back though I think I used

00:28:52.520 a couple you know obscenities as I do prone to on Twitter but basically saying people don't care

00:28:56.940 about climate change if they can't pay the rent or can't feed their kids. Yeah exactly. Even the

00:29:01.940 most liberal of Trudeau loving individuals I mean when you get your household priorities

00:29:06.020 and you are still worried about climate change fine and you still really love the liberals but

00:29:10.100 boy, if you can't make the bills, you're going to reevaluate. You have to. We're getting into

00:29:14.760 necessity. If the chunk that not only the government through taxation, carbon tax is an

00:29:19.080 example, is taking is bigger and bigger of their take-home pay. If the chunk the banks are taking

00:29:24.780 through increased interest rates is bigger and bigger, those are going to be the things rightfully

00:29:29.800 so that the average Canadian focuses on. Yeah. I mean, it's just everybody has to cope with

00:29:36.300 these things. What happened, Corey, you know, speaking about issues that need to be resurrected,

00:29:41.460 what happened to the investigation into the Chinese interference in our democracy?

00:29:47.500 Yes, I wrote a note on it because I'd forgotten about it there and I wanted to hit on that.

00:29:52.340 So, I mean, like, where did that go? Trudeau made another promise. Well, you know, just wait,

00:29:57.380 folks, just, you know, hold your horses. We'll have a proper investigation. The one thing I want

00:30:02.500 to make sure I get in before I'm off the program, Corey, is this issue. Because it ties directly

00:30:07.380 with this bogus trial that Tamara and Chris are going through right now as we sit here.

00:30:17.240 What happened to the proper analysis of COVID and the steps that all governments took? I've never

00:30:25.260 found out. I'm sure you've never found out. It should be properly analyzed by now. What worked?

00:30:32.500 and what didn't there's there's talk now about new strains new variations of covid and are we

00:30:38.660 supposed to be worried are we worried that governments will re-enact lockdowns and

00:30:43.620 restrictions and emergencies act and you you name it like what did we learn as a nation

00:30:50.580 about how in my opinion governments overreacted with the first round of the so-called pandemic

00:30:57.780 the COVID, because we could be facing it again, even as early as this winter. And yet there's

00:31:04.300 been no release of a public investigation of what was done and what worked.

00:31:13.180 Just an unvarnished one. I mean, during the pandemic, when things were happening,

00:31:16.580 that's something I was screaming into the wind, like we need to do a cost benefit. There's a cost

00:31:21.780 with every action of the government. Is there a benefit? If they could demonstrate somehow that,

00:31:27.240 okay, you know, giving a vaccine passport to restaurants somehow inexplicably is going to

00:31:32.680 save, if you could demonstrate, it's going to save tens of thousands of lives, hundreds of

00:31:37.040 thousands of lives, as they tried to claim, I might start moving to that side if it really was

00:31:41.860 the bubonic plague or something going on like that. But it comes at a cost, they act as if it

00:31:46.000 didn't, you know, these restaurants lost customers, these restaurants lost revenue, they, you know,

00:31:52.000 people weren't coming in, and it has to be weighed. I mean, that if it saves one life logic is one of

00:31:57.000 the dumbest things you could ever hear from somebody, right? But that's how we worked on it, 0.94

00:32:00.600 basically. If we could claim that we saved one life, we could claim the amount of freedom

00:32:04.480 infringements. It's beyond the pale. So you're right. I mean, a review just to look back and no,

00:32:08.840 there hasn't been a sign of that yet. And I would think that there's a perfect opportunity. As a

00:32:13.020 former politician and serving longer in opposition than I did in government, twice I was tasked with

00:32:20.700 organizing question period first for the reform party and later for uh prime minister harper

00:32:27.040 and um you know when i look at question period and what they should be focusing on i would argue

00:32:33.680 that the clear opposition the conservative party should be focusing on this because they can tie

00:32:39.680 it quite neatly into this trial that's going on that's front and center foremost in people's minds

00:32:44.820 Okay, we're seeing this every day play out in the media about Tamara and Chris Barber.

00:32:52.020 So they can tie that in and say, okay, set aside the trial.

00:32:56.100 What have we learned about everything that unfolded during that COVID period?

00:33:03.420 And what are we going to do different if there's another round?

00:33:06.940 What are we going to do different next time?

00:33:08.600 Are we going to treat citizens the same way?

00:33:10.720 Because you're right, there is a cost.

00:33:12.660 We seldom talk about the cost of delayed surgeries, delayed cancer treatments.

00:33:18.260 How many people did we lose from that?

00:33:20.960 Because we were so worried about, you know, overpopulating our emergency departments in our hospitals,

00:33:30.540 our, you know, our emergency part of the hospital, that we cut off any surgeries that were necessary.

00:33:38.860 People died waiting.

00:33:39.860 There's no doubt about it.

00:33:40.740 Yeah.

00:33:40.880 Or the social cost. Children at the most influential of age, developmental, had their

00:33:48.020 school disrupted for two years. It was a mess and they were scared. They were in, they were out.

00:33:52.760 That's going to cost for generations. And again, and the worst part with that one is we should

00:33:57.800 examine, we got lucky and we weren't allowed to say it earlier, but there's truth to it. Kids are

00:34:01.880 immune from COVID. I'm going to say it. They're immune from COVID. I mean, we got lucky, you know,

00:34:06.160 aside from some who were already ill or something, typically they did. So, I mean,

00:34:10.620 they were the ones we really never should have locked down. Yet here we were closing playgrounds

00:34:15.060 and arresting them for playing hockey. So in question period, shouldn't the opposition be

00:34:21.340 demanding of the government to say, what is your plan? What steps would you take if we're faced

00:34:28.560 with another COVID epidemic, right? I mean, is it just going to be focused on the old folks home 1.00

00:34:34.900 and protecting the elderly like a lot of us believed it should have been the first time

00:34:39.300 around or are you going to go beyond that because we want to know we demand to know

00:34:44.760 what your plan is and we've never seen that we've never seen a proper analysis and so how can you

00:34:51.620 have a proper plan so all we can end up assuming is they're going to respond the same way if it

00:34:55.680 happens again and obviously there's we should be able to respond a heck of a lot better no matter

00:34:59.900 what side of it you're on, the only way to do so is to sit down and say, okay, let's...

00:35:03.820 Like, take partisan politics out of it, just as a big issue for the nation.

00:35:08.040 We should be able to coalesce behind something that makes sense.

00:35:13.200 Well, we'll see what comes up in this session.

00:35:15.760 Again, there's no indications of the Liberals seem to want to turn, so

00:35:19.840 Poliev's going to have a lot to work with, I guess, if he wants to take control

00:35:24.080 of the agenda, and we'll see what happens.

00:35:27.340 Yeah, well, like I said at the start of the interview, the difficulty, speaking from somebody that has been there for many years, the difficulty for the opposition and for Pierre is going to be to focus the public's attention on one or two or three perhaps issues when there's probably a dozen major issues out there.

00:35:49.100 Hopefully it's things like, you know, demanding a COVID plan.

00:35:52.800 Hopefully it's things like, you know, how are you going to properly address the growing crunch for everyday Canadian families when they're at the grocery store, when they're trying to pay the bills, when they're trying to turn the thermostat up in the home.

00:36:07.020 The things that really matter to the standard of living of Canadians.

00:36:12.160 Hopefully, you know, they can zero in on some of those issues and remind Canadians,

00:36:17.740 constantly remind Canadians of the failures of Justin Trudeau.

00:36:22.000 Well, and along with that as well, and the trap oppositions can fall into when you smell the blood in the water sometimes,

00:36:26.800 it's still being on them too much.

00:36:28.080 But don't forget, OK, but what are you going to do that's better?

00:36:30.620 You've got to put out the solutions as well.

00:36:32.580 Well, we might find out a little bit about that starting tomorrow,

00:36:35.540 because the Conservatives are having a policy convention

00:36:40.000 down East.

00:36:42.500 And hopefully out of that,

00:36:44.680 we'll see some indication of some new direction

00:36:47.440 for the Conservatives

00:36:48.560 worthy to form our next government.

00:36:51.640 Great.

00:36:51.860 Well, let's hope that some good, reasonable minds

00:36:53.900 come up with some solutions.

00:36:54.960 In the meantime, we'll just keep picking at it

00:36:56.420 and telling them how it's done.

00:36:58.340 Well, there's a few that are more knowledgeable

00:37:00.660 than you, Corey.

00:37:03.000 I like to think so.

00:37:04.620 All right.

00:37:05.160 Thanks, Jay. I always love it when you come in.

00:37:07.220 Well, thank you very much for having me.

00:37:09.020 I know it was just the luck of the weather that you were available.

00:37:12.720 It was either be on a combine or be here with you.

00:37:15.680 So unfortunately, the combine's shut down.

00:37:18.200 Hopefully it dries up enough to get out there and get the combining done as well.

00:37:21.560 Thank you very much.

00:37:22.220 Thanks again, Jay. We'll talk again soon.

00:37:24.020 Okay.

00:37:25.520 All right. So that was Jay Hill.

00:37:27.340 I know you've seen Jay on the show a number of times.

00:37:29.300 Always, as we can see from the commenter, a great conversation.

00:37:31.800 It is. I look forward to when Jay comes in.

00:37:33.880 offers again. This is a guy who's been on the benches, smacked against the wall in the political

00:37:39.460 house a few times and seen what works and what doesn't. We need more of that discussion. That's

00:37:43.440 why I wanted to end off with the discussion with pointing out it's easy to be critical and it's

00:37:49.380 important to be, but you also have to offer a solution. So we'll see what comes out in the

00:37:55.380 weekend because we've got a whole lot of problems. And yeah, you know something Jay brought up that

00:38:00.260 I hadn't really thought of, but it's that there's so many issues. There's so many things going on.

00:38:05.560 And if the conservatives try to take on everything, it'll kind of get lost in the mix. You know,

00:38:11.620 it's like you want to pick three, four, maybe, and really hammer home on those. We'll see.

00:38:16.520 Strategically, though, they seem to be doing very well right now. The other question is,

00:38:20.200 and we're seeing that asked more, is Trudeau going to resign? I mean, for everybody looking

00:38:26.720 at it, I think with common sense, and I predicted as much on Twitter and so much, but it's easy to

00:38:32.200 predict. Because if I'm wrong, I just won't mention it later. And if I'm right, I'll retweet it later

00:38:36.200 and say, I told you so. But I do think Trudeau is going to step back in the next few months.

00:38:40.520 I don't think he wants to, but where he doesn't know how to turn it around. And people say he

00:38:46.000 won't do it because he's so vain, he'll stay to the end. That's possible. It's possible. But he's

00:38:50.160 also so vain. Does he want to go out with the electoral foot on his butt when he loses the 0.99

00:38:54.220 election dramatically? Or will he just kind of retreat while he can and let somebody else 0.90

00:38:59.080 try and clean up the mess he's made? I still think, I mean, that the pressure is going to come

00:39:04.380 out. There was a, you know, looking at legacy media, but Don Martin, he's been a commentator

00:39:08.160 for a long, long time. And he wrote a piece saying, you know, when's somebody going to take

00:39:11.980 Justin aside for the talk? You know, somebody who's going to candidly say, look, and it's time,

00:39:17.620 it's time to move along. Because that's what I was saying to Jay as well. Like, what does he see

00:39:22.340 strategically that the government could do that would turn this around, turn the support around

00:39:26.780 and make it happen. And Justin tried a couple of things. It didn't work. It failed. The only

00:39:31.820 other thing the liberals can do really is change the leader. Um, some people have said, I've kind

00:39:38.340 of hinted as much, you know, on Twitter, but jokingly stay in there, Justin stay in because

00:39:42.060 I mean, maybe they can get wiped right out of Kim Campbell style by the time the next election 0.63

00:39:46.180 comes, but the amount of damage that that hammerhead could do with two more years in there.

00:39:50.360 I don't know I don't know I mean sure it would crush the liberal party but boy they could really

00:39:55.320 crush the country in that two years leading up to it and if he comes to a point of no return again

00:39:59.700 he's that vain it's as I talked about with the immigration thing I'm probably misquoting it but

00:40:04.380 there's an old statement about you know a true dictator what being willing to burn a nation to

00:40:08.180 the ground to rule over the ashes and Trudeau might be vain enough to do that not just stop

00:40:14.080 carrying all together what happens and it's difficult to remove them liberals don't rip

00:40:19.080 out their own leaders like conservatives do. They tend to be more drone-like. They will follow,

00:40:23.740 they'll have their misgivings, they'll grumble in the bars, but eventually they will quietly

00:40:27.960 start ripping at them. There's some with ambition. Yeah, back to the trial, Tamara and Chris.

00:40:33.860 We'll see what happens with that. And I've been watching Twitter, it's divided. People are

00:40:37.320 fighting the whole battle all over again because it's gone to the court. I'm going to throw out

00:40:41.140 my prediction here that I'll say I told you, so if I'm right on it later, or we'll just forget

00:40:45.720 about if I'm wrong. I think what's going to happen by the end of this anyways, they're going to get

00:40:49.980 convicted on at least a couple of the charges. Maybe a few of them will be thrown out. I think

00:40:54.340 that the sentences will be suspended based on the amount of time they spent in custody already

00:40:58.880 and perhaps a fine. That's what I think is going to happen and probably nobody on either side is

00:41:06.560 going to be satisfied with it. There's people screaming for blood. There's lunatics saying,

00:41:10.620 you know, that a barber at least should be getting 10 years in jail. And, you know, there's other 0.85

00:41:15.780 people saying that they shouldn't get as much as a parking ticket. Where it's going to land is

00:41:20.100 somewhere in the middle. And as I said, both sides are not going to be happy with it. We'll

00:41:25.520 see what happens though. And, you know, again, don't always realize this is surprising with

00:41:31.540 judges. Some of them take their role very, very seriously to try and be balanced and, you know,

00:41:37.960 give us as fair a ruling in something as they can.

00:41:40.340 Because, I mean, these guys aren't villains.

00:41:42.820 They aren't criminals.

00:41:43.400 They didn't lead, I mean, some of the language,

00:41:45.860 and it drives me bananas,

00:41:46.760 they didn't lead an insurrection.

00:41:48.460 A lot of people try to compare this,

00:41:50.420 and they're comparing because some of the sentencing's happening

00:41:52.240 with the stuff that happened on January 6th in the States.

00:41:55.280 January 6th was different.

00:41:57.060 That really was.

00:41:57.780 People saying, we can storm the seat of government

00:42:00.980 and turn over an election.

00:42:03.660 Most of the people in the crowds outside

00:42:05.360 probably weren't even thinking that,

00:42:06.280 but those, there were many running,

00:42:07.380 That's what they were trying to do. That is the definition of an insurrection. It really is. And I don't want to go down the rabbit hole of whether the election was fair or corrupted or not or whatever. The bottom line is when you've had an election and a group of people try to overturn it by force, that's an insurrection.

00:42:25.000 that never happened in Ottawa that never happened with the convoy that was never the intent of the

00:42:31.180 convoy the the only thing close was it was some goofy memorandum of understanding on a Facebook

00:42:37.520 page I hope that comes up in the courts if you say look at this they're talking about going to

00:42:41.340 the governor general and turning over the prime minister oh yeah that was realistic you know I

00:42:45.440 don't get ET to come back home and fix things for guys it wasn't going to happen it was some nut

00:42:49.540 bar on Facebook who has absolutely no understanding of the government of Canada had nothing to do

00:42:53.900 with the convoy protest.

00:42:56.160 Aside from that weird little thing,

00:42:58.820 nobody was trying to storm parliament.

00:43:00.720 Nobody was trying to tear the prime minister out of power.

00:43:03.780 Their demand, whether you want to see it

00:43:05.140 as reasonable or not reasonable,

00:43:07.060 was having the mandates end.

00:43:10.200 That's it.

00:43:11.540 It's a big demand.

00:43:12.460 It's a demand the government wasn't willing to back off on.

00:43:15.640 But there was no insurrection.

00:43:17.420 These guys are not the types of people

00:43:21.480 that are looking to harm people.

00:43:22.920 again, think of the time frame. I mean, look at all the protests we've seen over all of our lives

00:43:27.440 that usually end up with smashed windows, rioting, turned over cars, assaults. None of that happened.

00:43:34.920 None of that happened. The worst thing that happened was horns were honked that really

00:43:39.800 annoyed the hell out of a lot of people in Ottawa for a while. And, you know, again,

00:43:44.540 you're going to have that discussion, but we can't call it an insurrection. It was nothing like that.

00:43:49.180 And if it was, people would have been charged for it. You know, that's the bottom line. They're

00:43:51.860 charged with mischief. Mischief. And that can come with some pretty heavy consequences, mischief.

00:43:57.300 Mischief is kind of a blanket charge that can range from everywhere from a little bit of graffiti

00:44:00.980 all the way to organizing a protest. But part of what the judge has to look at as well,

00:44:05.040 how much threat is that they're going to do it again? How much risk is there? And the irony is,

00:44:12.280 if I gave them five years in jail each, he will martyr them. And that will increase the chances

00:44:18.320 of larger future protests.

00:44:20.220 I'm not saying it should be a threat anyways or whatnot,

00:44:22.100 but that's the reality of it.

00:44:24.300 If it cracks down hard, and it won't prevent.

00:44:26.900 I mean, isn't that the goal to prevent?

00:44:28.820 I've seen no language, no attitude.

00:44:31.120 You know, Tamara's been on the show a number of times. 1.00

00:44:33.800 They're not, the mandates are gone.

00:44:35.380 They're not interested.

00:44:35.920 They're not chronic protesters

00:44:37.420 like a lot of left-wingers are.

00:44:39.040 They just want to go home and get back to their lives.

00:44:41.140 It's over for now.

00:44:43.140 Bring back the mandates that could change.

00:44:44.860 I got a feeling it'd be a whole new crop of people

00:44:46.600 leading the next protest,

00:44:47.460 and there will be another protest.

00:44:49.280 So it's like Jay said as well,

00:44:50.360 we need more confidence in this country

00:44:52.320 that it's over or that if it happens again,

00:44:56.240 we do things more wisely in the future.

00:44:59.800 I mean, there could be a real pandemic in the future.

00:45:03.280 There could be another outbreak of the bubonic plague

00:45:05.620 or Spanish flu or something that really is devastating us.

00:45:09.520 And look at the trust that's been broken

00:45:10.980 between the government and the people.

00:45:13.000 People won't voluntarily lock down.

00:45:15.340 They won't put up with it nearly as easily in the future as they did last time

00:45:20.160 because they realized the government deceived them.

00:45:21.640 The government overreacted and the government did a lot of terrible actions

00:45:24.800 that didn't help make people safer whatsoever.

00:45:27.120 So if a real threat comes along, a real pandemic,

00:45:32.820 we're going to have people protesting against measures that might actually have helped us.

00:45:35.900 If there really was leprosy going around,

00:45:37.860 maybe we would want to isolate people a little bit.

00:45:39.760 Nobody's got the trust now.

00:45:41.120 Maybe if we examine a little bit, as I said, do a bit of cost benefit.

00:45:44.140 but look what happened, see what was done right,

00:45:45.980 see what was done wrong.

00:45:47.160 People would feel a little more confident in leadership

00:45:49.140 if and when another catastrophe comes.

00:45:51.940 We'll see.

00:45:52.560 Okay, that's the time I got for today, guys.

00:45:55.800 There's a lot more stuff I want to talk about,

00:45:57.620 but Jay and I went on along.

00:45:58.840 We covered a lot of stuff and that's okay.

00:46:00.740 And we're going to cover more.
