[00:11:14] Speaker B: Trading the point of view America trade relations especially Chinese evs on eth farmers in a Canadian so a JD leverage av Canada they're turning on you. [00:13:00] Speaker A: So conservatives they are Playing it very carefully so expectations don't expect white smoke it's just a beginning. It's a start Conservatives and especially Donald.

[00:15:01] Speaker A: Donald Trump press conference by default we should keep our fingers crossed. [00:15:24] Speaker B: It could be very complicated counter reaction delicate Generally speaking. [00:16:10] Speaker A: You'Re right. Yes. It will be the most cherished state how Mark Carney reacts to that okay not push back. So most likely Mark Carney is going to be very measured in his approach. [00:17:28] Speaker B: Just the timing of it Separatist sentiment support federal government referendum the Mankar Jinni total registered voters petition the person total registered voter Nepali Galta Oni Dekhana Subaias number of days to get such signatures signatures Daniel Smith Nikal statement. [00:20:55] Speaker A: Live stream seized was one way Daniel Smith the vast majority of those individuals are not fringe voters to be marginalized or vilified. They are loyal Albertans they are frustrated and they have every reason to be Albertans Loyal Albertans Federal Sarkadna policies. [00:21:46] Speaker B: Earlier this week one in four Albertans or basically Canadian and one in 10 believe their province would be economically stronger as a part of the US while 2 in 10 favor a future as an independent country so V percent of the Canavi J Alberta.

[00:52:08] Speaker A: I look forward to meeting the new Prime Minister of Canada at least Prime Minister Keha Mark Carney I very much want to work with him. But I cannot understand one simple truth. Why is America subsidizing Canada by $200 billion a year in addition to giving them free military protection and many other things? We don't need their cars, we need. We don't need their energy. We don't need their lumber. We don't need anything they have other than their friendships which hopefully we will always maintain Achary is a positive they on the other hand need everything from us. The Prime Minister will be arriving shortly and that will be most likely my only question of consequence so he's going to stick to his guns so friendship at least we will maintain the in addition to military so defense we owe ad.
