But I'm going to work my way through it.

So the resolution talks about not hunting monsters.

It says we're not going to go hunt them.

But at least we heard our opponents acknowledge that monsters exist.

That's a good start.

But of course, what history shows us is if we don't, once monsters are identified and we know who they are, if we don't pursue them, they'll come pursue us.

We'll talk about those tonight at great length.

And I, for one, and I think Tori would agree, we'd rather hunt them on our terms than on theirs.

You know, Professors Mearsham and Walt tried to frame the debate tonight in a way.

But, you know, and there's so many things we do agree on.

Western democracies should not go provoking.

We should not go pick a fight.

We shouldn't go look for a fight.

We should not be in the business of creating enemies or searching for them.

For our collective well-being, I hope we can all agree that there is, however, an existence of monsters.

Whether we pick them, create them, or otherwise, they find us.

You know, you all like country music here in Canada, right?

Shania Twain, Katie Lang, Terry Carter.

I have a favorite country music song.

It's called Coward of the County.
