And unless you want to pay proper money, then who would want to do it?
I mean, who on earth would want to be the head of Wellington Water?
I wouldn't do it.
You'd pay me $20 million, I wouldn't do it, for goodness sake, because, I mean, you know, it's a hiding to nothing.
Carney, Mark, Canada...
He's a rock star.
So he's from, broadly speaking, I'd call him centre as opposed to centre-left, but nevertheless, just to remind you in case you've forgotten, Trudeau's running the place.
Trudeau's a disaster.
Trudeau, during COVID, tries it on and he's running a minority government.
During COVID, he goes, I know, like so many other people around the world, we'll have a crack at an election.
And because everyone's running scared at the moment, they normally re-elect the people who are running the country.
Didn't work for him.
He won the election, but he was still a minority.
So he went from minority to minority.
And then after that, people got thoroughly sick of him and he finally quit.
And at this point, the election was due and the Conservatives were going to romp home in a way that Canada had not seen anywhere.
They were going to win basically everything.
It was a disaster for that particular party until Mark Carney comes along, former Bank of England governor, of course, and chief of the Reserve Bank in Canada.
He comes along and not only wins, but wins well because he stood up to Trump and people admired that in Canada and he did it well for the Liberal Party.
So anyway, he's out holding a couple of elections yesterday and he is a minority prime minister until yesterday when he won a couple of seats and he's now a majority prime minister.
