He, I believe, was the finance minister under Stephen Harper. And so he knows what he's doing. And Canada is in a very dire situation right now in terms of its housing market, in terms of its economy. I think it needs a lot of help. And if Pierre is going to do the things he says he is, I'm all for it. I like it.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not, I obviously have caveats. Right. And I'm never going to find a political party that's going to agree with me on everything because I think, you know, the problem with politics is it's full of politicians. And so based on that, you're never going to find anybody who agrees with everything you say.

Yeah, I mean, I'm encouraged by the things that Polyev says he's going to incorporate. I hope that those play out well, because as a young person living in one of the most expensive cities, not just in Canada, but in the world, and looking at our housing market, looking at our economy... Um, I want my family to grow. I don't want to, you know, I'm, I'm only planning on having more kids.

Um, once again, need to be careful politically. Um, I, why do you say that? I work for a national not-for-profit that has charitable status. And so, uh, I, I, Within the way that that works in Canada, advocating overtly for a political candidate could compromise our charitable status. Is that a law? Yes. You can have your charitable status revoked if you're advocating for politicians too overtly.

Wow. And that has happened in Canada. Yeah. How do you feel about that? I don't love it. Are you going to be in Canada the next 20 years? Yeah. I mean, I work. I love my country. I'm a Canadian. I'm proud to be a Canadian. I wish Canada would sort itself out.

No, and I don't think Canadians want that either. I mean, I think the partnership with the U.S., should grow more. We are the biggest trading partners in the world. We have the, what, is it the longest border? Is it unmanned border? That's probably not the right way to describe it.

Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, I think Americans and Canadians are probably more similar than either of us want to admit. And I think that's a good thing.
