00:00:00.000 loads of stories. It's just piling up out there. There is so much to cover locally, around the
00:00:05.060 world, around the province, around the city, you name it. As well, you can find my opening monologue

00:00:48.680 bills rather than being innovative and developing new markets as we have. But there's lots going on,
