The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

I can't really speak about the DNA and the thought processes of that group.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

What I would say is that Pierre Polyev, from the coverage that I saw, said three things about

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

that I thought were remarkable, but not in a good way.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

First of all, he said that

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

Liberals in Ottawa want him to change.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

And the ones that I talk to don't want him to change.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

They want him to stay exactly the same way that he is because they might say that he should change, but they don't really want him to change because they think they can beat him again if they have another run at him in a few years.

The second thing that he keeps on saying is that Carney is slow.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

That Pierre Polyev thinks...

in fast and carny acts in slow.

Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

And all of the evidence that I see from polling just doesn't look like that.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

You know, Canadians can want more action on some things always.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

That's a normal response in public opinion terms.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

But I don't see any evidence in my data that people think, you know, the thing that bothers me about Carney is he seems to be kind of asleep on the job.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

He's just not really getting up and getting at it.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

And so I find it strange that he keeps on coming back to that argument, especially given that, you know, the pace of Pierre Polyev's political career changes.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

has not been that accelerated, let me put it that way.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

It's been a long time that he's been in politics without ever having won anything that allowed him to materially change the direction of the country.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

The third thing that I saw he tweeted out, he said, Canadians want us to fight.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

That was the extent of the tweet.
