Chapter 1: What changes have occurred in Canada under Trudeau?

30.31 - 34.394 Kyle Forgeard

Canada is not the same country that I knew when I was growing up.

0

34.634 - 41.661 Chris Williamson

How much do you lie at the feet of Trudeau? What do you mean? How much is he directly responsible for what's happened?

0

41.701 - 43.062 Kyle Forgeard

I mean, if you're the commander-in-chief...

0

43.903 - 72.295 Kyle Forgeard

you gotta you gotta take some blame for sure and yeah i think all canadians agree it's just it's just a totally different place how so 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

0

73.095 - 97.468 Kyle Forgeard

Just things that make us Canadian and little bits of Canadian culture are just getting lost and stuff like that. There's obviously just 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.

97.508 - 114.002 Kyle Forgeard

We saw the results of this election. And I think Canada is going to be following suit. I think Canada is in for a big comeback. I'm really excited about it. You're bullish on Canada? 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.

114.042 - 122.091 Kyle Forgeard

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 Parliament.

122.272 - 127.836 Chris Williamson

I saw him correct somebody's language for saying mankind. Shit like that.

127.976 - 128.477 Kyle Forgeard

That's what I mean.

Chapter 2: How does Kyle Forgeard view his friendship with Donald Trump?

2881.966 - 2903.199 Chris Williamson

They know when you're playing a game, when you're trying to manipulate them. And even if you don't know why, even if you can't say what it is, we've got this weird sixth sense that exists behind the back of our head somewhere. And you go... I don't know, man. There's something up here. I just don't get... Trudeau, perfect example of this with Trudeau.

0

2903.299 - 2910.424 Chris Williamson

Tell me what it is about that guy that makes you not trust him. Maybe you can point to specific statements he's made and all the rest of it.

0

2910.444 - 2911.945 Kyle Forgeard

You could just tell he's a fucking slimeball.

0

2912.025 - 2913.807 Chris Williamson

Largely, it's just the fact that he's got this...

0

2915.282 - 2944.333 Kyle Forgeard

slippery demeanor yeah you think hey i don't fucking trust you guy and he fooled everyone with the free weed legalization when he first ran what's that i think i think that's like when he first ran it's just because he was going to legalize weed like that's why everyone loved them okay that never came to fruition no it did it's legal in canada okay yeah so i guess he did one delivered on a promise yeah uh but yeah it's watching dana operate especially at that level especially with the additional amount of scrutiny and all the rest of the stuff that's happened is

2946.101 - 2969.108 Kyle Forgeard

wild it's very very he just likes to win too one thing about him I know what drives him and it's proving people wrong and that's kind of one thing I think me and him have in common is we both like just like shutting people up You know, like whether it's fans in the comments or for him, it's the media. Shutting people up is a good fucking feeling. You know what I mean?

2969.208 - 2979.15 Kyle Forgeard

When everyone's saying something and they're all counting you out, it just drives you and you're like, I just want to shut these people up so fucking badly. I think that's one thing that that drives both of us.

2979.91 - 2985.406 Chris Williamson

And then you come back with the W. You come back with the dub. Yeah. Yeah. That's an interesting energy.

2985.466 - 2986.489 Kyle Forgeard

You know what I mean by that or no?
