Energy alone is a big reason why we have a card.
He says...
We don't need anything from Canada.
We all know that, let us be kind and say that's presidential piffle, baffle gap.
And so there's that.
The other reason he needs us is because there isn't an empty attic above the United States.
There is a country above the United States that is between them and the countries that could do the United States ultimate harm.
So we help him keep his country safe and secure.
We need to do a better job of that.
We need to spend more.
and rely less on the Americans, but we are doing that job.
And he requires us to be a friendly and cooperative neighbor in order to safeguard the security of the United States.
He's not going to admit that, but it's absolutely true, and we do it every day.
Canadians and Americans are flying over the Arctic every single day working together.
So there are economic reasons, there are geopolitical reasons,
uh first of all uh that it is the althea story is having impact there was excellent journalism uh that there are fault lines emerging uh in the liberal caucus um and and the question of whether or not the prime minister is really a progressive is is one of those uh questions fault lines uh that are being uh opened up i'll come back to that in a second i i think part of the reason that that fault line is being opened up is because there is another one and
A lot of people who call themselves progressives feel like they don't have access to the prime minister.
And that even in caucus, when they raise their concerns, the prime minister can be withering in response.
And so...
So they don't raise them.
