[00:16:21] Speaker B: Thematically speaking, the 1988 the election 10% the voter turnout. Compare Karieke 1984 the election which we owe Sam he stepped away Similar situation both in 1984 and in 1988. Historically was that like in the 1950s somewhere.

So 2021, sorry. 62.6% voter turnout is for expectation we might reach close to 70%. That would be something. [00:17:49] Speaker B: That would be something to motivate them to come out and cast their ballot. [00:18:22] Speaker A: Yes, again, social media, social media access. More people are more aware about election promises and about the platforms. More people are also disgruntled. But again. [00:19:28] Speaker B: Oh, vote young voters. So young voter motivated. That could play some sort of a deciding role in some ridings. [00:20:08] Speaker A: Not in all yes political parties. So I will not delve into that. Social media conspiracy theorists illusion of democracy. Do not fall prey to them. [00:20:26] Speaker B: Yes. [00:20:29] Speaker A: Democracy. [00:20:30] Speaker B: That's putting it mildly.

Have your car, steel, aluminum, lumber, energy and all other businesses quadruple in size with zero tariffs or taxes. If Canada becomes the cherished 51st state of the United States of America. No more artificially drawn line from many years ago. Look how beautiful this landmass would be. Free access with no border. All positives, with no negatives. It was meant to be. America can no longer subsidize Canada with the hundreds of billions of dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a state.
