0.149 - 18.893 Pierre Poilievre

You take the total business investment of the United States divided by the total number of workers in America, it's 28 grand. In Canada, it's 15 grand. The Canadian worker gets about 55 cents for every dollar of his American, and they're both measured in USD. In Vancouver, more money goes to bureaucrats than goes to the carpenters, electricians, and plumbers who build the place.

And to add insult to injury, tradespeople who build homes can't afford to live in them. Why is it that we're still importing oil when we've got the world's third biggest supply? Why is it we can't export our natural gas

29.855 - 40.558 Jordan Peterson

I think that was perhaps the single stupidest thing I ever heard a politician say. Your federal government spent $6,000 of your family's money going over their budget.

40.898 - 46.68 Pierre Poilievre

They've squeezed the taxpayer out of every last dime, and they're still $62 billion short.

46.86 - 55.682 Jordan Peterson

It's worse than that because I suspect that the true picture is a lot more dismal than we know. Okay, so that's going to be dumped on you sometime in the next year.

56.242 - 57.883 Pierre Poilievre

They get the party, I get the hangover.

58.183 - 102.995 Jordan Peterson

Eight years from now, what does it look like? Hello, everybody. I had the opportunity and the privilege today to speak with Mr. Pierre Poliev, who is the leader of Canada's Federal Conservative Party, but also, barring catastrophe and God willing, Canada's next Prime Minister, a transition in power in this country. is likely to take place sometime between March and October or November of 2025.

104.096 - 128.013 Jordan Peterson

And it appears very probable that Pierre Polyev is the heir presumptive and will be the next Prime Minister of Canada. And so I talked to Mr. Polyev two and a half years ago, which was quite shocking to me. I thought it had been more recently than that. And... A lot has transpired in the meantime. What did I talk about with Pierre?

128.393 - 154.22 Jordan Peterson

Well, I think mostly what I did was give Canadians and people on the international side a chance to see who this man is. In an hour and a half of discussion and the extra half an hour on the Daily Wire side, you have enough time to get a sense of how someone responds personally. spontaneously and emotionally and cognitively to complex and challenging questions in a manner that's not rehearsed.
