You take the total business investment of the United States divided by the total number of workers in America, it's 28 grand. In Canada, it's 15 grand. The Canadian worker gets about 55 cents for every dollar of his American, and they're both measured in USD. In Vancouver, more money goes to bureaucrats than goes to the carpenters, electricians, and plumbers who build the place. And to add insult to injury, tradespeople who build homes can't afford to live in them. Why is it that we're still importing oil when we've got the world's third biggest supply? Why is it we can't export our natural gas
I think that was perhaps the single stupidest thing I ever heard a politician say. Your federal government spent $6,000 of your family's money going over their budget.
They've squeezed the taxpayer out of every last dime, and they're still $62 billion short.
It's worse than that because I suspect that the true picture is a lot more dismal than we know. Okay, so that's going to be dumped on you sometime in the next year.
They get the party, I get the hangover.
Eight years from now, what does it look like? Hello, everybody. I had the opportunity and the privilege today to speak with Mr. Pierre Poliev, who is the leader of Canada's Federal Conservative Party, but also, barring catastrophe and God willing, Canada's next Prime Minister, a transition in power in this country. is likely to take place sometime between March and October or November of 2025. And it appears very probable that Pierre Polyev is the heir presumptive and will be the next Prime Minister of Canada. And so I talked to Mr. Polyev two and a half years ago, which was quite shocking to me. I thought it had been more recently than that. And... A lot has transpired in the meantime. What did I talk about with Pierre?
Well, I think mostly what I did was give Canadians and people on the international side a chance to see who this man is. In an hour and a half of discussion and the extra half an hour on the Daily Wire side, you have enough time to get a sense of how someone responds personally. spontaneously and emotionally and cognitively to complex and challenging questions in a manner that's not rehearsed. That's the huge advantage of the podcast format. We talked about all the stories that Mr. Polyev has heard in his thousands of event interactions with Canadians in industrial settings, in manufacturing settings, in academic settings, so that he could inform himself about the true situation that's facing Canadians struggling to make ends meet despite their best efforts now, which is a dismal reality in Canada with its excessive housing prices and diminishing economy. Most importantly, perhaps,
What is his vision of the future that both threatens and provides opportunity for Canadians? How is it possible for the citizens of this great country to dig themselves out of the malaise and pit that has been dug for them and by them over the last nine years? And what could be done to Remove the impediments such that this country could become the dynamic industrial powerhouse that it certainly could easily become. So, join us for all that. So, sir, it's been almost two and a half years since we sat down to talk the time before. So, I guess the first thing I'd like to know is, what have you been doing during that time? I'd like to hear... I'd like to hear about your day-to-day schedule and your week-to-week schedule, like lay out your job.
Basically, uh, we have two parts to my professional life. It's very, uh, bifurcated. There's the parliament hillside, which is, you know, early morning meeting with my leadership team, house leader, deputy leader, whip, et cetera, to plan out the day, uh, the battle plan for our parliamentary committees, question period, et cetera. Um, That is punctuated by one weekly caucus meeting and just the daily prosecution of the government, which is the quintessential role of an opposition leader. And then the other part to my life is touring. I asked my assistant today how many events we had done over the last year, and he said it was exactly 600. A few weeks ago, it was 570-something. So we've done 600 events, and those are like...
