But at the same time, people are more attentive to how Trump sits in America.

than they have been about any other president in my lifetime.

They know that he's losing popularity.

They know that he's at war with Republican influencers.

They can see the evidence that his ability to kind of snap his fingers and have the entire

American community sort of go, well, either that's perfect what you've got on mind, or we're just going to have to go along with it.

That is changing and Canadians do notice it.

But maybe I'm a little bit different from Chantal on the, I definitely agree with Chantal on the government cannot afford in any way, shape or form to

have a kind of a triumphal attitude.

It's very much, I think, as the Prime Minister says, we're just getting started.

We've got a lot of work to do.

Keep pushing on.

I do think that the government, including through this fiscal update this week,

has been saying we're going to do things that people didn't see necessarily coming.

We're going to build more infrastructure.

We're going to spend on things that we think are good bets in terms of the long-term health of the economy.

And I think that's what,

the Prime Minister intends to do, and I think that does create some confidence on the part of Canadians, even as it makes some say, wow, it's a lot of money that's being spent, or is government trying to pick winners, and has that ever worked that well in the past?

It's a good debate to have, but it is a domestic debate.

It's a debate about a policy choice that the government is pushing forward on.
