Trump through the election and then thereafter said that >> Canada should honestly become our 51st
00:00:04
state >> which is never going to happen. >> Pierre Polyv leader of his majesty's
00:00:11
loyal opposition. There's a quite significant probability that you could be Canada's next leader and your team
00:00:16
said I can ask you whatever I want. >> Okay. >> So it appears that the United States
00:00:21
have made the decision to kind of go it alone in the world >> and that is a very big strategic
00:00:25
mistake. In Canada's case, we have everything the United States needs if they treat us like a friend. So, for
00:00:30
example, we have the fourth biggest supply of oil. And if you look at the leading five, which of these countries
00:00:36
do you think the United States can most rely on? >> And I'm looking at the third vial there
00:00:40
in the row, Iran. >> Mhm. >> Has Trump taken the right course of action?
00:00:44
>> The Iranian government has been extremely hostile and very dangerous to
00:00:47
Canada. They are the leading world sponsor of terrorism. And there's no doubt in my mind that the only reason
00:00:52
that they are enriching uranium is for the purpose of developing a weapon. And there's a far greater risk to them
00:00:59
having a nuclear weapon than even North Korea. So the initial actions were definitely necessary.
00:01:04
>> But how do you think this plays out? And if Trump had called you and asked for
00:01:06
your support, would you have given it? >> Well, let let's put it this way.
00:01:11
>> What is the thing that you're most concerned about? >> We're overt taxing our population. We're
00:01:14
punishing initiative. We have 20,000 immigrant doctors who can't work in medicine. Wages have been destroyed.
00:01:20
Young people can't start a family in this economy and that is why the working
00:01:24
class across the western world is so angry. >> The other reason why people might be
00:01:29
quite angry is because of this. >> Right. >> This seems to be a familiar story across
00:01:34
some western nations. >> It is. That's why my mission in politics is to reverse that.
00:01:38
>> The other thing that I actually was really keen to talk about is that you've
00:01:40
spoken out against this term wokeism. The problem I have with wokeism
