Trudeau is out, talk to me.
**Kyle Forgeard** (0:02)
Right away, we're just getting into it?
**Chris Williamson** (0:03)
Dude, this is it, this is the biggest thing that's happening.
**Kyle Forgeard** (0:05)
Bro, I feel like we all knew it was gonna happen. But yeah, just to see it finally go down, it's just, it's refreshing. I mean, like you guys know, I grew up in Canada. I moved to the States about 10 years ago, when I was around 20, I'm 30 now. And it's just like the last 10 years, what's happened has just been devastating, honestly. Like Canada is not the same country that I knew when I was growing up.
**Chris Williamson** (0:34)
How much do you lie at the feet of Trudeau?
**Kyle Forgeard** (0:37)
What do you mean?
**Chris Williamson** (0:38)
How much is he directly responsible for what's happened?
**Kyle Forgeard** (0:41)
I mean, if you're the commander in chief, you gotta take some blame for sure. And yeah, I think all Canadians agree, it's just a totally different place.
**Chris Williamson** (0:50)
How so?
**Kyle Forgeard** (0:52)
I think Canada just lost its sense of identity a little bit, you know? I think being a little too politically correct, you know, whether it's not letting people say Merry Christmas or we have a poppy that people wear every November, Remembrance Day, which is supposed to like support the fallen troops. Just like things that make us Canadian and like little bits of Canadian culture are just getting lost and stuff like that. There's obviously just, you know, a lot of immigration. I think immigration could have been done a little better.
But yeah, I think we're going to see something in Canada really good. I'm really optimistic about it. I think you see it's happening all over the world, right? Not just the US. We saw the results of this election and I think Canada is going to be following Sue. I think Canada is in for a big comeback. I'm really excited about it.
**Chris Williamson** (1:44)
You're bullish on Canada.
**Kyle Forgeard** (1:46)
I'm bullish on Canada. Yeah, I think it's going to make a big comeback. I think Trudeau is just a complete fucking loser. Like, I don't know. I don't know what's up with that guy. I don't know if he just wanted to stay in power, but I mean, his wife left him fucking... I mean, that guy just needed to get the hell out of the... out of Parliament.
**Chris Williamson** (2:02)
I saw him correct somebody's language for saying mankind.
**Kyle Forgeard** (2:07)
Shit like that. That's what I mean.
**Chris Williamson** (2:08)
We don't want to use that. We need to use people kind.
**Kyle Forgeard** (2:11)
So that type of shit has been happening just all over Canada.
**Chris Williamson** (2:15)
It feels like a Babylon Bee sketch. It doesn't feel like a real politician saying something.
**Kyle Forgeard** (2:18)
That's what I mean. It's just like, you need someone that's going to stand up for Canada. And I think there's some good choices. The Pierre Polivier, I think he would do a really good job at kind of giving Canada a big comeback.
**Chris Williamson** (2:34)
Yeah. I don't know, man. It is kind of like everywhere there's America and then every other English speaking country is kind of coming second at the moment. Nobody, the same with Britain, the same with Australia. Like their stock went down an awful lot after COVID and sort of this overreach and lockdowns and stuff like that. No one has really had a fantastic four years when it comes to branding.
**Kyle Forgeard** (2:57)
Unless Canada becomes the 51st state, right? We don't know, but.
**Chris Williamson** (3:00)
Yeah. Yeah. Well, it could be 52nd if Greenland goes first.
**Kyle Forgeard** (3:04)
It's weird because like I just went home for Christmas and like it's kind of like 50-50. Like a lot of people are actually like, yo, that would be kind of sick, you know, because I think a lot of Canadians want to come to the States. Like, you know, we love traveling here and stuff like that. But then obviously there's a lot of Canadians that's like, no, what the fuck? Like, this is our country. But I think Trump's just trolling when he says that type of shit.
**Chris Williamson** (3:26)
Well, you'd know. You've spent enough time with him.
**Kyle Forgeard** (3:28)
I would know. And I think I've spent a lot of time with him. But the last time that I was with him, which is when we flew on his plane right before the election, I got to see like a more real side of him, kind of like a button down, literally version. Like he had his jacket off, he had a few buttons off, and he was just himself.
