I think is major, and I think the Chiefs have that with Andy Reid. I think Brady and Belichick certainly had that in spades for years, although I think maybe there was a little bit of tension in their breakup, but they certainly had that. So I think it's hugely advantageous.
The strategy piece is important, but the complete trust and confidence in your coach, I also think lets the players go out there and play knowing that good decisions are going to be made in the background.
Yeah, I think within Canada, certainly amongst the people I speak to, my friends and family, I'd say 50% are annoyed by it and view it as offensive and a disrespectful situation, disrespectful set of comments relative to the longstanding great relationship between the two countries. I think 40% just sort of view it as Trump being bombastic, kind of find it funny, don't read too much into it.
And, you know, don't think it's going to happen, aren't worried about it happening. I think it's just him puffing out his chest in a way that's sort of amusing. And then I think there's 10% of the folks I speak to who are genuinely irritated by it and find it, you know, truly horrifying because they think he might actually try and act on it.
And then it's going to create, you know, significant repercussions. for the country. And I think the folks who are truly worried about it as compared to offended or amused is a distinct minority. I think close to 100% of Canadians, but that's probably a slight exaggeration, but most Canadians don't seem to be a fan of Justin Trudeau.
And so I think this has almost been a gift to Trudeau, where he has been pretty widely reviled at this point in the country, even by folks who are staunch liberal supporters, liberal voters. And so this is sort of giving him something to galvanize the country and to rally folks, which he desperately needed.
But I think ultimately, the biggest thing I find interesting about it is President Trump, if nothing else, is somewhat unpredictable. I don't think that's a particularly noteworthy statement. And I think that's the honest dynamic and probably the part that for the folks who are worried about it, You know, it is alarming.
Do I think President Trump has any intent on actually pursuing a long term conflict with Canada or trying to annex it by force or anything like that? I mean, I would say clearly not. But, you know, obviously looking at things with the Panama Canal, Greenland, etc.,
um you know you just you don't know for sure and i think that's probably what what keeps some people up and i think there are probably some folks who quietly think it would be fine for canada to be the 51st state uh both in canada and and here but i don't i don't envision that happening uh anytime soon no thank you very very much and i appreciate obviously i'm not a fan of him making those comments i mean it
I would love to hear you sing. I'm just hoping I don't have to hear the Canadian anthem booed tonight at the Blackhawks game. I'll settle for just silence. Sure.
Thanks for having me, Scott.
