So there was an official government-run leaders debate halfway through, and typically people really pay attention to those. But, you know, there is a lot of money being spent. Canada is about one-tenth the size of the U.S., and we probably had one-tenth the size of the budget. The campaigns have their campaign jets, and it's all about IDing your vote and get out the vote.

Obviously, a lot of the campaigning is digital. So it's very much like an American campaign. In fact, the liberals typically have campaign advisors from the Democrats. Let me tell you a quirky thing. Mark Carney... And another candidate named Evan Solomon. They're basically run by a globalist lobby group in New York called the Eurasia Group. It's sort of weird how that –

It's in New York City, but it was sort of running the campaign for the Liberal Party in Canada. Justin Trudeau's former mentor works at the Eurasia Group, and that's where Mark Carney, the prime minister, his wife works. Like this little office in New York is basically being the puppet master for Canada. It's a little bit weird.

There's a lot of foreign interference in our election, I should mention. In the last election, the Chinese Communist Party was found to be interfering in 11 different –

districts this election it was even worse in fact um one candidate had to step down because he was a chinese canadian candidate who said if you kidnap my opponent and take him to the chinese consulate you'll get a million dollar bounty i know what i said just sounded insane but he said it three times and finally he resigned as the candidate to be replaced by another chinese communist party

He's done huge business deals in China. He took a quarter billion dollar loan from China. So we have a real China problem in Canada. There are great, loyal, freedom-oriented Chinese Canadians fighting against that. But the Mark Carney government is as pro-China as you can get. Let me throw one last thing at you, Charlie. Canadian politicians were sort of heckling back at Donald Trump.

I know you didn't hear it because it was for Canadian domestic consumption. It was sort of, can you prove who is the toughest to stand up to Trump? That was a campaign thing to juice the turnout that we talked about, those sensitive boomers and seniors.

But last night, after the votes were counted, Mark Carney, the new liberal prime minister, the former World Economic Forum board member, the former chair of Brookfield Asset Management, he takes the stage for his acceptance speech. Campaign's over now. Now he has to think like a prime minister. He goes extra hard at Donald Trump.
