1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Now the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has called the Canadian election 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: for Prime Minister Marc Conney's Liberal Party. Kat Tunney is 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: a senior reporter at CBC's Parlab Tribureau. 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 2: Hey, Kait, good run. 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: Now this is stunning, isn't it for somebody who's just 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: arrived in politics to be able to pull it off 7 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 1: like this? 8 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what we're seeing tonight. You could but 9 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 2: not be even fattable. Just a few months ago, back 10 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 2: when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was leaving the party, Canadians 11 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: had really soured on him after a decade. They were 12 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 2: upset about the carbon tax, and it was looking, you know, 13 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 2: as much as you know polls, if you can trust them, 14 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: it was looking like it was going to be a 15 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 2: clear slam dunk win for the Conservative Party here in 16 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 2: this country to get a majority government. Well, fast forward 17 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: today and fast forward to tomrk County kind of having 18 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 2: this whirlwind twenty rone and five where he took over 19 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 2: the party and then then led his party to it 20 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: to a victory. Tonight. It is quite quite a stunning, 21 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: stutting thing that we've watched. We have not yet heard 22 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: from him tonight. I think he's about to speak in 23 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: a few minutes. There's only a little bit of a guess, 24 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: a tempered uh you know, mood here because it's not 25 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: acts clear yet if you'll have a majority or minority government. 26 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 2: We're kind of waiting to see that. You know, I 27 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: think he, like like any leader, he was, he was 28 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: hoping for a strong mandate and a majority to you know, 29 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 2: be able to do what he would like to do 30 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 2: and have some comments. So now he might have to 31 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: figure out who his dance partners are and perhaps reach 32 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: across the aisle and not something that he perhaps one 33 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: wants to do. But again, you know, taking that aside, yeah, 34 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: you know, it is quite a stunning win. 35 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: How much of this has got to do with his 36 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: own personal attributes and how much of it has got 37 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: to do with Trump giving him the opportunity. 38 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: Well, I think there's there's a mix here, and part 39 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: of it clearly Trump has shaped this election, not just 40 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: his re election come November, but you know, the trade, 41 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: the global trade war that that he's kicked off. And 42 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: then on top of that these kind of thought were 43 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: first jokes about making Canada the fifty first Day, which 44 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: have come you know, persistent and have grown and really 45 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: kind of rejuvenated kind of Canadian patriotism in face of 46 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: those comments, so clearly that I think has shaped the election. 47 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: There's also how Mark Karney was able to pitch himself 48 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 2: to voters to to respond to that. You know, he 49 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: Canadians would know him as, you know, the former governor 50 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: of the Bank of Canada here then he left to 51 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: lead the Bank of England, so he has those credentials, 52 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 2: you know, and he made the pitch that you know, 53 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: I'm an outsider, but I'm a mature, steady hand will 54 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: be able to take on Trump in this kind of 55 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: global uncertainty as we had into economic uncertainty at the 56 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: same time. So it's a bit a bit of both. 57 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: He was able to use his kind of resume, if 58 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: you will, to address Canadians real fears about you know, 59 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: Donald Trump being re elected just south of us. 60 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, brilliant stuff.
