I'm telling you and 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: Boxton's Beach. 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 2: Radio open lines on night Side from now till the 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 2: end for this final hour. Rather Jay and for Dan, 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 2: you can talk about any of the topics that we 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 2: have discussed so far, or anything at all. It could 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 2: be heavy, it could be light, whatever you like. We 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: can certainly talk about the US action in Venezuela. See 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: if you agree with me. Very quick version of that is, 10 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: if if I since there had been a better plan 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: for afterwards, I'd be a lot more excited about it. 12 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: Right now, it seems like a net gain to me, 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 2: even though there are folks complaining that rules were broken 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: and norms were broken, But every once in a while 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: things aligned, so maybe you got to you gotta do it. Particularly, 16 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: I wish I remember your name, sir. 17 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: But the who. 18 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: Mentioned that there was a parking lot for Russian bombers with. 19 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 3: It was a base for Russia. 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: Also that all that oil, and that's the most they have, 21 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 2: the biggest known oil reserve in the world, more than 22 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: was way more than Saudi Arabia. If the Russians got 23 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: their hands on that or had access to that, they'd 24 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: be able to battle you know Ukraine forever, and if that, 25 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 2: I worry that there's no plan and it's just going 26 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: to devolve into gang warfare and ambassa, and sooner or 27 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 2: later you're going to have to put boots on the ground. 28 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: I wish, I wish I was aware of a better 29 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: plan or you could. We never have talked about this. 30 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: But are you in favor of continuing of continuing to 31 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: support Ukraine? 32 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: Do you think Russia is the bad guy? I do. 33 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: I support Ukraine. I'm surprised. I'm super surprised that our 34 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: president really seems to support Putin and folks of that ilk. 35 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: That is shocking to me. I watched the YouTube special 36 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: three hour thing on North Korea and to try to 37 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: be pals with the North Korean leader in a country, 38 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: in a nation where one of Kim Jong UN's predecessors 39 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: wound up his culture personality so tight that every home 40 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: had to be I had to have a picture of 41 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: deer leader and it had to be on the highest 42 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: quality paper. And if it was found that your photo 43 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: of dear leader was on poor quality paper, you could 44 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: go to jail or. 45 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: You would be punished somehow. 46 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: So are you in favor of supporting Ukraine or are 47 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 2: you just done and you think it's too dangerous and 48 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: too expensive it's gonna end. You don't care that much 49 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: about Ukraine losing territory. I just don't like to see 50 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: a guy like Putin win and oh yes, war on pedestrians. 51 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: It seems that in the rush to micromobility, in the 52 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: rush to so many other things bike lanes, etc. That 53 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: pedestrians are it seems to be a war on pedestrians. 54 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: We've been forgotten, We've been thrown under the bus, so 55 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: to speak. And seems like there are more and more 56 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: pedestrians getting hit by automobiles, by e bikes, by scooters, 57 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: and that it's very dangerous out there. And I would 58 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: love to see some protections for pedestrians. And I believe 59 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: that pedestrians should have the right of way. There has 60 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: always been the case, as I believe, and I would 61 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: like to continue it, to continue to see it be 62 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: that way. It's dangerous out there if you're on foot. 63 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: So here we go. 64 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: Anything you want to talk about is fine.

I don't understand 193 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: why Putin continues. Maybe he just doesn't understand how grim 194 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 2: things are on the battlefield. They're wiping out his ability 195 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: to produce oil. And in the last month they were 196 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: twenty six twenty six nights of attacks out of the 197 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 2: month on infrastruct infrastructure. A lot of that oil infrastructure, 198 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: a lot of these oil producing places have been. 199 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 3: Here multiple times. They can't they can't get rid of 200 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 3: it now. 201 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 2: Also, because of what's been going on with those tankers, 202 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: people don't want to carry their oil. It's backing up, 203 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 2: so they have to sell it so cheaply that because 204 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: it doesn't back up, So there's a big discrepancy between 205 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: the ice Brent and the discounted Russian rate. They getting 206 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 2: killed monetarily. I don't know how long they can go 207 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: on like this. They have a huge demographic problem. They 208 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: send people into battle no with no ammunition. They just 209 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: send people into battle to absorb Ukrainian bullets, hoping that 210 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: Ukrainians run out of bullets. It's crazy. I don't know 211 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: how long it's going to go on. We'll talk to 212 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: Alex and millis open lines.

Supposedly, it's it's 251 00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 5: just a superstition. 252 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: But that's interesting. Thank you so much. As always take 253 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 2: care of brother. 254 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: Of course. You know. 255 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: One thing I don't want to be too negative, but gee, 256 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: some things you just have to address, and. 257 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 3: That's the hitting. 258 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: There have been more than one hit and runs in 259 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 2: our area recently, and that one on comm Av where 260 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: the dog was hit also, that is so so so terrible. 261 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 2: This wasn't somebody crossing, I don't believe, as I understand it. 262 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 2: He was on the mall. The calm av mall and 263 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but you're on your own. 264 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: There's not a lot of police enforcement towns. Cities and 265 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: towns have decided they don't want to. It's really I 266 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 2: guess since the what I consider to be foolish defund 267 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: the police movement. I mean, that's a that was a 268 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: terrible idea, that was so dumb. By the way, it's 269 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: it's folks in difficult neighborhoods who need the police the most. 270 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: So since then. 271 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: It's been difficult to get towns to have the will 272 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 2: to do enforcement, traffic enforcement and other kinds of enforcement. 273 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: It's been difficult to recruit police officers, and we're seeing 274 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 2: people bay very badly as they drive, and the result 275 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 2: is people are getting hurt and killed. So I would 276 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: like to see towns say, you know, we have to 277 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 2: get over our problem with that we had with the police, 278 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: and we need we need to respect them, hire them 279 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: and tell them to and give them the mandate to 280 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: enforce and pay them well to do it. Six thirty 281 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: is our number here WBZ Wide open Lines. I don't 282 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: know about you, but I realized last night for the 283 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: first time what causes my bad dreams. I had two 284 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 2: terrible dreams, so terrible I can't even tell you. 285 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: One of them was just so awful. But for me, 286 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 3: it's heat. 287 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: If I have too many covers, it causes terrible dreams. 288 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: And I finally made that connection it I thought it 289 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: was going to be colder last night that it was, 290 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 2: so I loaded on the covers, as I say, a sheet, 291 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 2: a blanket, another blanket, and then a comforter, or as 292 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: they say in some households, a puff. 293 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 3: What do you say, buff or comforter? 294 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: I really don't like either of those, but it seems 295 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 2: too heavy, and I don't know why, but oh, it 296 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 2: was terrible. 297 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 3: I will share a little bit of the dream. It was. 298 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 2: I was with my father, who's who passed a long 299 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 2: time ago. It's funny in your dream, your father with 300 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 2: your father who passed a long time ago, and you 301 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 2: don't think anything of it seems perfectly natural. So we 302 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 2: were in the White Mountains and it was snowing, and 303 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: we were going down the mountain and there was a 304 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 2: lot of snow on the road, maybe four inches, but 305 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 2: it hadn't been plowed. He put in the brakes and 306 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 2: it slid way way down the mountain down the road 307 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 2: like half a mile. The brakes didn't work for like 308 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 2: half a mile, but the car didn't go off the road. 309 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 2: But then a little later we came to the very 310 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 2: bottom of the mountain. It was steep, and then the 311 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 2: car in my dream crashed. It went sideways and caught 312 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 2: something in the road and tumbled and tumbled and tumbled 313 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 2: probably twenty or thirty times. Then I couldn't find my 314 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: father and I'm crmbing around the rock. It was terrible. 315 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: Woke up kind of gasping for breath. No, not sleep apnea. 316 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 3: It was just the weight and the heat of these covers. 317 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: So the reason for this, I bring it up to you, 318 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: is try using the minimum amount of bedclothes, as they 319 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 2: say back in the day, bed clothes, the minimum amount 320 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: of covers you can get away with because cool temperatures, 321 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 2: I think help you sleep. That's not just cool outside, 322 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: but not too hot under the covers, as they say. 323 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: Let's talk to Tom and Maynard, Massachusetts.

So find out if you have free 472 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 2: you know a certain amount of value of over the 473 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 2: counter goods you can buy at pharmacies and find out 474 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 2: how much and make sure to use it. Sometimes they're 475 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 2: quarterly and you'll forget and you'll slide to the quarter 476 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 2: without using it all up.

When I heard it mentioned, 638 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 10: I literally had to laugh out loud to myself because 639 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 10: this country doesn't even have an army. Quite frankly, I mean, 640 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 10: if like we have literally we have sixty six thousand 641 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 10: full time soldiers out of forty two million people in 642 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 10: this country.

So there's no I wouldn't if I 645 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 10: was an American, I wouldn't be worrying about Canada taking 646 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 10: a farm like right now, we couldn't fight our way 647 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 10: out of a paper bag for you, you know.

Actually, yeah, 649 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 10: but you know, I was listening to some of the 650 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 10: other callers call in and talk about, you know, the woods, 651 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 10: and the one fellow was talking about working out in 652 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 10: the woods with chainsaws, and then it kind of brought 653 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 10: back memories. That's what I did for a living up 654 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 10: in Northern Canada here and literally just worked in the 655 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 10: bush all the time and always outside. So I kind 656 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 10: of enjoyed that.

I've seen some 663 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 10: crazy things happening ice storms as I've watched two thirty 664 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 10: two hundred thirty thousand volt and five hundred thousand volt 665 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 10: lines just collapsed under the weight of ice, which took 666 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 10: literally over a month to repair. That was back in 667 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 10: the eighties. But you know, it's kind of gratifying work, 668 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 10: and you know you can see your accomplishments when you're 669 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 10: out there every day. You know you're making a difference. 670 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 10: You're trying to help people out restore power, clear lines 671 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 10: off from trees and that kind of thing. And yeah, 672 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 10: so you. 673 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 3: Said, you said northern Canada. How northern, Well, let's see now. 674 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 10: If you look at okay, say, if you well, I've 675 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 10: moved from northwestern Ontario down to sort of around southern 676 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 10: Ontario now. But I only I moved down here. I 677 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,919 Speaker 10: don't know how many years now, make twelve years ago, 678 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 10: but I did, like I was from Canora, Ontario now Canora, 679 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 10: Ontario from where I live now, which is near London, 680 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 10: which is only about two and a half hours from Toronto. 681 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 10: But where I live now, or where I used to live, 682 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 10: it was one thousand miles north west of where I 683 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 10: am now, a place called Canora on Lake of the Woods, 684 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 10: which was about say from Minnesota border at Fort Francis's. 685 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 10: It was a probably two and a half hours north 686 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 10: of that of the Minnesota border. 687 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 2: I have a question, sure, okay, so you live in 688 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 2: kind of the English part of Canada, not the French party. Yes, 689 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 2: And how divine it is Canada. How how much of 690 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 2: a competition is it for. 691 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, between you two. 692 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 10: Yeah. The thing is this country likes to think it's 693 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 10: more together than it is, and it kind of, you know, 694 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 10: it makes me grimace a little bit when I hear 695 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 10: people talk some of the even some of the things 696 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 10: that are going on between the tariffs and Canada and 697 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 10: the United States. Our leaders here stay, but you know what, 698 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 10: there there's a big division here being between Quebec and 699 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 10: the rest of the country. They want to separate from Canada. 700 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 10: They've been trying to do that since I of my gods, 701 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 10: since the seventies. They had a referendum to separate from 702 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 10: Canada back in the eighties and they came within one 703 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 10: percent of actually separating from Canada on that election. And 704 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 10: then you have Alberta, which is where all our oil is. 705 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 10: And the thing about this country is they don't know 706 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 10: this government of ours, or governments for forty years now 707 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 10: are not allowing us to extract our critical minerals or 708 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 10: oils or liquified natural gas and export it around the 709 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 10: world to become a wealthy country. They refuse to let 710 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 10: Alberta really take that oil out of the ground, and 711 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 10: they refuse to build pipelines from Alberta to British Columbia 712 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 10: on the Pacific coast and then the other way onto 713 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 10: the Atlantic coast to Newfoundland and Labrador. And if we 714 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 10: did that, we could export oil. We got so much 715 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 10: of it up here. But for some reason, this country 716 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 10: does not want to develop itself into what it could be. 717 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 10: I'm sixty five, and not just me, but a lot 718 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 10: of people in this country have fed up, just fed up. 719 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 10: And we look across the borders in the United States, 720 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 10: and believe me, there's a lot of Canadians that are 721 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 10: looking over to America right now and we're applauding what 722 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 10: the Trump government is doing, like shutting your border down, 723 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 10: keeping it safe, taking care of the tyrants of the world. 724 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 10: You know, we have a government that does the opposite. 725 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 10: Our government is like a socialist country. We're like a 726 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:32,240 Speaker 10: socialist country here and we have a really left thinking 727 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 10: government right now. We have had for the last twelve 728 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 10: plus years with Justin Trudeau and now Mark Karney, and 729 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 10: they have destroyed this country with over immigration. Especially in 730 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 10: my part of the country where I live in southern Ontario. 731 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 10: The people can't afford houses. There's homeless people everywhere across 732 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 10: this country. Now, I've never seen anyone like it the 733 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 10: last eight years. It was just it just appeared. So 734 00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 10: it's the you know, the things the government are doing 735 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 10: are I am not making this place.
