He could be quick to temper, but he was quick to cool, but he never forgot.

But look, you're operating under incredibly tight timelines.

I remember he snapped at the cabinet minister once.

who we were getting ready to go into question period.

And frankly, the cabinet minister on a particular file that was high profile, that was a nagging file.

He didn't clearly didn't know his file and didn't know the answer.

You know, like how, how many of this is going out?

Like it was, I'm not going to try not to give it away here, but it was, it was very minister redacted, didn't know his file because minister redacted did not do his homework.

And it was clear that minister redacted did not have any way to communicate himself out of this box.

And it was really obvious and that frustrated him.

Well, I mean, for over 30 years, we've still wrestled with the whole issue of intellectual property, privacy, slander, things like revenge porn or plagiarism in university campuses.

And that's the Internet.

So for 30 years, we're still wrestling with all those issues and how to mitigate them.

What does it mean, the rise of Amazon and the cost of, and that has for retail businesses and Ma and Pa stores versus big box and like, and that's still super disruptive.

AI will be, I think, that times 10, or could, has the potential to be.

So I think people are right to be anxious about it.

On the politics of it, I think the government is kind of missing the moment in terms, like I wouldn't, this is Monday morning quarterbacking, so I know this may be a little bit cheap, but my assessment is,

there have been a couple of big weeks here they you know evan solomon and the government they did their big announcement in vancouver and there's a lot of focus on it in vancouver of their ai data center in the downtown core of vancouver and it got some blowback and then we had the prime minister taking more center stage this week and talking about a broader ai policy and so we have a little bit of context here for these two announcements on the infrastructure side and on this for the broader policy side and i think they're a little bit too triumphal i think they're a little bit too happy about this technology in the face of to the jerry's point

clear public anxiety about what this means.

I would have, now that I think we've read the room a little bit better now, I would have, frankly, more of a neutral tone if I was the government and talking about AI, as opposed to saying, this is a great technology, this is really good.
