We are ready for that. [00:11:33] Speaker B: About the free Trade Agreement. So Canadian team. [00:12:00] Speaker A: We expect to have a nice conversation. We will try to bring the temperature down but we will wait for the new Prime Minister and then we are going to talk. [00:12:16] Speaker B: It only makes sense. [00:12:34] Speaker A: Puzzle is Halvi Hojana they did a sate lead negotiator name Okarinina Edibario Galbatiyanal meeting Horiya we said of temperature toned down Karna Asal Galbata which actually makes sense. So can they It's Going to be a better relationship than with Prime Minister Trudeau. Can there no disrespect to Prime Minister Trudeau. I can tell you one thing. Mark Carney has an extremely astute business mind. He understands numbers. Mark Carney understands. He's good with numbers. [00:13:59] Speaker B: Is good with numbers. [00:14:04] Speaker A: Good with numbers. Anyways. So again he understands numbers and so does President Trump and Secretary Latnick. I think they are going to get along very well. They both come from the same financial sectors. So Justin Trudeau, financial numbers, business world. [00:14:29] Speaker B: Billionaire financier. Financial markets. Donald Trump, the Commerce Secretary Mark Carney Hamilton Steel factory. To have a direct conversation with Donald Trump. [00:15:23] Speaker A: It should be under a position where there is respect for Canadian sovereignty. Let's talk like adults. [00:16:30] Speaker B: This was one of the main points of election call. And then we'll get into a federal election campaign again. A lot depends on the day of the election. [00:17:02] Speaker A: Why is Doug Ford behaving like a Prime Minister? He is just Ontario's premier. He should let Prime Minister and his team do the talking. Because of this transition. [00:17:20] Speaker B: Correct. [00:17:35] Speaker A: Officially engaged. So maybe next week we can expect Mark Carney to be more aggressive about it. Council of the Federation. [00:17:48] Speaker B: Correct. [00:17:54] Speaker A: Council of the Federation Electricity Export. There is some guy. [00:18:14] Speaker B: Some guy in Ontario. [00:18:16] Speaker A: So Dominic LeBlanc negotiation tactics. Donald Trump Ontario. We are going to win this in one hour. Some guy in Ontario. We were trying to put him in place. We were trying to cut him down. Tactics. So that's how they operate. Vijay Puri Industries are. [00:19:07] Speaker B: Jobs. There is some guy in Ontario. [00:19:23] Speaker A: So Galu. Do we need to be this much aggressive? [00:19:34] Speaker B: There are two different schools of thought. At least Canada. [00:19:54] Speaker A: Daniel Smith. Daniel Smith Conservative stripe. Things have slightly settled down. This is the new normal. [00:20:48] Speaker B: Kavi Bhati Zada to see Halchal Karke to see Jinnah J. To see. [00:21:09] Speaker A: Daniel Smith. So. [00:21:25] Speaker B: Donald Trump the economic economy, the handling approval. More than 50% are disapproving Donald Trump. [00:21:37] Speaker A: So can they arm public opinion? Even one of the administration members. He will have to tone down the narrative. We need to avoid escalation and play the long game. [00:22:37] Speaker B: There are certain numbers. 1, 2, 3, 4. It has happened on so many occasions. Does that happen to you? Does that happen to anybody? [00:23:12] Speaker A: In between meals? If I'm not mistaken, you could say. [00:23:16] Speaker B: That. [00:23:27] Speaker A: In between the meals. In between the meals are so. In between meals. [00:23:44] Speaker B: But does it happen to you? Is there a particular time on the clock?
