| 0:00.0 | I'm John Batchew with my colleague Arthur Herman, the distinguished author, writing at Civitas Outlook of a Union of Canada and the United States. |
| 0:25.7 | Not any breakdown in public order, but in fact a building of a new condominium. |
| 0:32.5 | What it would look like depends upon the area that you're investigating. |
| 0:36.8 | Arthur has identified three. |
| 0:39.0 | Energy and resources for building electronics, |
| 0:43.1 | that would be rare earth and other mining geniuses. |
| 0:46.7 | And AI quantum, that would be the frontier right now. |

| 1:52.7 | And also, if I may say, Prime Minister Carney's fantasy about becoming a strategic partner |
| 2:00.0 | with China. No one becomes a strategic partner with China. |
| 2:06.4 | No one becomes a strategic partner with China through trade deals and other arrangements. |
| 2:09.3 | You become a vassal state of China. |
| 2:11.3 | Pakistan has learned this. |
