So there are those who believe that Mr. Poiliev should take an active, if not a leadership role,

in the Remain in Canada campaign that looks like it's going to happen in October.

I think that more people will come forward, like Mr. Poiliev and others in that campaign in Alberta, once they know that A, there's going to be a question, and B, they know what the question is going to be.

And I think those people will include people like Stephen Harper.

Once that's all cleared, I think that he will also play a role as well, not a leadership role,

but a role because Mr. Harper has tremendous respect still in the province of Alberta.

He's an Albertan.

He loves his province.

And he's a guy who's seen as embodying the best of Alberta.

For many of the people who are...

sort of on the fence you know they they love canada but they don't know uh they don't have enough right now to to really run to to say this is a great deal you know they're still on the fence a little bit i think i think that

The agreement on implementation at the MOU last week on a pipeline is going to help some people in industry perhaps also get off the fence.

We're waiting for industrial captains in the province of Alberta to manifest their colors one way or another.

We'd probably be surprised, Kathleen knows this better than I do, that there are a lot of

oil and gas CEOs who are supporting, if not financially, then politically supporting some of the independence movements there as well.

So we need captains of industry to come out and say, this would be the wrong thing if we actually want to get a pipeline built.

to tidewater, we better remain part of Canada.

All those things will become clear.

And I think Mr. Poitier's role will become clearer as well once we have a question and we know this is going to go ahead for sure.

Lots of fun, as always.
