00:00:10.940 I'm sorry.
00:00:12.760 Secondly, I want to just say I went to Vimy Ridge 11 years ago.
00:00:19.980 It's so Canadian.
00:00:21.460 It would make your heart swell how proud I was to be a Canadian.
00:00:27.680 when i walked around there and saw that monument i don't know if you've ever been but
00:00:33.280 definitely a a destination for a canadian if there's any of us left um as far as the floor
00:00:42.320 crossing i was so disappointed to see her do that she is the same age as me she was
00:00:49.700 like by every sense a conservative with um just so many of the issues that she supported were true
00:00:58.740 true blue conservative she bothered me more than those other guys did who just seemed like they
00:01:05.380 were flippant and not as as serious and i apologize if they are more serious but that really bothered
00:01:12.220 me with her yesterday and i sent her an email and just very nice and said i'm very disappointed
00:01:18.480 that this is where canada is people are struggling like what are you thinking can't you see
00:01:24.580 and um i i like you because i watch you with clyde all the time i too canada like anything
00:01:34.420 any resemblance of canada that we once had that is gone my my my father he would be 103 this year
00:01:43.100 he would be so broken hearted because he always had a flag on his front porch a canadian flag
00:01:53.240 and his heart would be broken to see what it has become wow i'm sorry i don't mean to get
00:02:01.360 i don't mean to get emotional but it's hard to watch this you're you're definitely hard to watch
00:02:07.980 you're not alone you're you're diane you're not alone let's let's break that down just a little
00:02:13.580 bit and let's let's bring you let's cheer you up a bit or maybe not but but uh yeah well let's stay
00:02:21.000 on the sad side so um i i so people to people who accuse us of disrespecting our fallen by having
00:02:29.920 an independence movement i often say that our fallen have been disrespected by ottawa long
00:02:35.940 for a long time so what's your thoughts on that like what are we disrespecting the fallen when
00:02:41.000 when with what we're doing right now not even close my son served in afghanistan my son is a
00:02:49.360 ppcli so i know that i know the whole drill about the military so we are not being disrespectful
00:02:58.260 We are saving any resemblance of insanity that is left in people, because we can't keep this trajectory. It's not going to work. It's getting worse instead of better.
00:03:16.080 Yeah, you're giving me chills. So thank you for that. So then let's get back to the really serious side. So why do you think Maryland left cross floors? Do you think it's just personal gains? Is it a change of heart or is it something more nefarious?
00:03:31.140 either i think it's personal gain and i think if you look at all the floor crossings and i've
00:03:40.480 watched a lot in the last 24 hours um every time there's been a floor crossing there's been some
00:03:47.460 other issue happening and it's it's like so what's everybody talking about today are we talking about
00:03:53.560 champagne and his wife and um the economy or the price of fees that nobody can afford or gas
00:04:00.960 or anything. Are we talking about anything? No. What are we talking about? The Liberals got a
00:04:06.660 conservative to walk over. I think it's all subversion. It's all smoke and mirrors. And it's
00:04:12.660 just, to them, it's so disgusting because it's a game. And it's our life. It's our life. It's our
00:04:20.540 children's life. It's our grandchildren's life. That's what's being taken down here. And it's
00:04:28.680 hard you're saying to cheer me up here here probably i can't even fix this this that ship
00:04:37.800 has sailed wow that ship has sailed who how can this be fixed there's so much wrong well i'm with
00:04:46.620 you on that one so we can't fix the country but we can definitely um we can definitely go our own
00:04:52.780 way and and make our own little corner of the world a better place so uh thanks for calling
00:04:58.000 diane and uh i don't know thanks cheer up somehow i don't know what to say but thanks for calling
