He took a message of the importance of a world order that people could count on, of defense arrangements that people should count on, of concern for the environment that everybody should share.

And

He kind of left the room, I think, feeling either baffled because they didn't really understand what he was saying or accepting of the fact that he was describing some norms that have been lost because of Trump's personal style, if that's the right way to describe it.

And so I think he did the world a solid.

I think he probably helped his country somewhat, although I think that's

it's always hard to bet on any kind of outcome with the Trump administration like that, but he did the world a solid and he probably changed some people's minds about his, his efficacy as a, as the King of England and using that voice in a way that's useful for, for, for people around the world.

I think you'd be more than slightly embarrassed.

Yeah, it was pretty good.

They're not going to burn down the building again.

That was also not bad.

Over to you, Bruce.

Well, maybe I'll come to that point last.

I keep forgetting that we're going to do this thing every week, which is what else is on your mind.

And of course, for me, there's like so many other random things that I am really...

focused a little bit on this question of how much inbound investment is coming to Canada.

We saw numbers posted not very long ago that said that it was a fantastic year last year, which I think a lot of people wouldn't have predicted based on the initial reaction to Trump saying we're going to kind of ruin Canada.

But I keep seeing pieces of evidence that suggest that the interest around the world in Canada as an investable place has been growing.

And of course, the prime minister has this summit coming up, this investor summit coming up in September in Toronto.

So I'm paying pretty close attention to that.

And I'm actually feeling somewhat optimistic about the amount of investment interest that's coming.
