And primarily there, the one that some progressive liberals are concerned about is the tanker ban.

They fought for the tanker ban because they thought that that kind of pristine coastline, the threat would be too high with that kind of shipping through there.

You know, it's interesting.

Mary Simon's time has come to an end now as governor general is coming to an end.

People forget one of the reasons why she became governor general when she was appointed, there were blockades across the country.

First Nations people were actually holding up the economy of the country by blocking critical rail lines and other things.

And so we forget that

that that first nations were frustrated as well and had a direct impact on on our economy there is a concern that that could happen again at the same time we do have albertans who are wondering whether or not the country still can work others outside of alberta are wondering can we do big things in canada and for good or for bad and this troubles a lot of liberals it troubles a lot of some of the liberals around the prime minister

the notion of a pipeline, particularly this kind of a pipeline, has become the barometer as to whether or not Canada still functions as a country.

Before I would make that a barometer, I would ask private industry, are you prepared to put up your own money?

Are you going to invest in this?

Are you going to wait for the Canadian government to do it?

I know what some in corporate Canada would say is, why would we put any

of our own money in this when we've already seen cancellations of a pipeline.

And you're mentioning, you know, potential Indigenous blockades of this.

Why would we do it?

But this, for better or for worse, has become some sort of standard, some sort of symbol, some sort of test for the Prime Minister.

And it's a tough, tough spot for a Canadian Prime Minister to be in.

Okay.

I was saying, or she should have been at the Met Gala last night.
