I think a lot of Canadians feel reactive to how noisy American politics are. I don't even know if it's necessarily that this was like a repudiation of conservative politics. I think some people thought that because of how the federal election went. I think it was a repudiation of annoying politics. cult personalities in politics. That's what it felt like to me.

I think there's like an exhaustion because when you're Canadian, not only do you have to consume information and news about your own election, but you are forced to learn everything about the American election.

You guys have no rules about how long an election can last. A Canadian election, there are laws. John, do you remember?

And so if I have no choice, but I have to consume all of this, and I'm not a taxpayer, and I'm not a voter, and I can't do anything if I'm in Canada. And you get to your own election and you're like, man, I don't want to do this here. I'm tired.

I think the one thing that we've seen unravel in the last few months has been the sort of silence that surrounded the deepening integration between these two countries. So you saw, particularly since 9-11, with the way in which border security has been, the word that's usually used is harmonized between these two countries.

And you see Canada kind of had to play catch up to U.S.-driven initiatives. And I think there is some resentment over that. What ended up happening here is, was that the United States, after 9-11, decided to make the management of its border uniform between Canada and Mexico. This is what they refer to as the Mexicanization of the Canadian border.
