Join me today as a Canadian businessman, lawyer, member of Parliament, and the founder

and head of the People's Party of Canada, Maxine Bernier, welcome to the Ruben Report.

Thanks for the invitation, Dave. I'm very happy to be with you.

I am glad you're here. I am pretty sure how many people are there in Canada, roughly?

Thirty-seven million people.

Thirty-seven minutes. I've gotten about 36 million emails to have you on the show or on Twitter.

I mean, everybody in Canada seems to want us to do this sit-down.

So I'll do my best.

So we shall see what happens.

There's many reasons that I'm looking forward to this chat.

Originally, we were going to do this on Skype and then you were gracious enough to say,

let's do this in person.

The fact that somebody in Canada is spreading the ideas of liberty and of the individual

and limited government and all of those things is incredibly inspiring to me.

It's more of what we need down here too.

But let's just start first with a little bit of your biography for people that don't know anything about you.

Yes, I'm a lawyer.

I did also a course in businesses before.

I work in a private sector in Montréal, Quebec, in the financial sector.

I was VP of financial institutions.

After that, I work with the Montréal Economic Institute.

That's a free market.
