0:00.0 | Welcome, everybody. |
0:08.2 | We start today with a huge congratulations to MAGA and an add-a boy to Donald Trump. |
0:14.2 | What am I talking about? |
0:15.2 | Well, Donald Trump didn't just light himself on fire politically in these first hundred |
0:20.0 | days. He has managed to burn down the Canadian right wing as well. |

1:33.5 | The Canadian right and Pierre Pollyev thought that they could campaign on affordability, |
1:40.8 | on being tough on crime, and sort of ride Justin Trudeau's unpopularity right into victory. |
1:48.2 | But then in comes Trump like a wrecking ball, first with threats to slap massive tariffs on |
