[00:40:10] Speaker A: After years of conservative rule. Yes. Immigration control will take back UK to the olden days. Elon Musk knew. Donald Trump knew. So perception the game Asari politics Basically change is the only constant in politics. Right wing Sarkar left wing core economic ideology. Left wing oh social programs. Social programs.

They were not recognized in Canada Discrimination because of the way we look or the way we dress. We were considered over qualified for certain jobs.
