Tim Hortons

When Canadians want to get to know each other, they'll often come to Tim Hortons and have a coffee. Just one Canadian I haven't met yet that I've been looking forward to. Prime Minister Mark Kearney, Prime Minister, thanks for doing this. It's great to do it. Tim Hortons' order says a lot about a person. It says a lot about their personality. You're a banker, so I'm going to guess more reserved. I'm going to guess small, black, nothing in it, an old-fashioned plain donut. Nailed it. All right, two of those please. A ordinary Canadian just buying Tim Hortons' signature onto money. That's for you. Keep the change. So you've had a pretty average Canadian life, Harvard, Goalie, Central Banker, and then Prime Minister. Standard stuff. Standard stuff. Well, I was born in Northwest Territories, grew up in Edmonton, and then some of those other things happened. You end up in a lot of crisis. When you were a governor of the Bank of Canada, we had the big recession. When you were governor of Bank of England, they had Brexit. You're the Prime Minister. We have a trade war. Is it you? It's the other way around. I come in to fix these things. It's not just luck. No, it's not just luck. Now, of course, you're famously a Central Banker. How do bankers budget? Do you want to balance the budget? Or do you want to maybe save some money by incorporating Canada in the Cayman Islands? How do you plan to do it? So this is not a time to waste any money, but at the same time, you want to get the country moving. We've got to build out clean energy. We've got to build out perhaps some pipelines. We've got to build out new trade corridors to Europe and to Asia. You spend a bit of money. You provide a lot of clarity. And then what happens is the private sector comes in real scale. We can give ourselves mark way more than Tr Is it time for us to say enough with this sharing everything with the states? I mean, you got with Brexit. Is it time for a canucket? Should we just say canucket? Well, in some respects, you know, Tr And so when he says the thing about our sovereignty. You're going to make it a 50% state. Quite frankly, you're the governor. He doesn't call me that. What the hell did you say to him? Because before all this, he was saying it's the 51st state. Quite frankly, the very week you're going to call him the prime minister is the governor. And then you had a phone call with him and he's very smart. I'm looking for what did you do? You have I don't want to see him. But do you have them? What the hell did you say to him? Well, one of the things, look, he respects strength. And what you said, well, first of all, some people said that we have American bonds and that you may be threatened to sell those off to kind of hurt the American dollar. And is that, is there any truth in that? I couldn't possibly comment, but that's Recently at one of your rallies, a lady shouted out, lead us big daddy. And people say you have big daddy energy. And Reuters, the reputable news agency recently said that you have a blend of tough talk and bland competence, which is, I think a way of saying, they find you boring. When I was appointed governor of the Bank of England, whatever it was 10 years ago. H Go ahead. I'm just, I know, it's just, I don't know, I The queen. Yeah. Oh, here we go. Me, the queen, Paul McCartney. Go ahead. The queen said to the UK Prime Minister at the time, David Cameron, not, I'm sorry, let me get that name. No, go ahead. She said, you had a story. Yeah, I had a story. No, when I was appointed governor of the Bank of England, the queen said, oh, good, a Canadian, they're very reliable. So it wasn't, It was just, that's how she viewed Canadians. Well, I don't know about the election, but we're at Tim Horton. So let'see if you want anything. Oh, this is, this is always tense. No, there must be some mistake. What's it say? I, it's broken. No, it says, sorry, wait until 28. So we can'tell you one yet. As they said, Tim Horton, if you don't win this time, sorry, try again. Prime Minister, thanks for doing this. My pleasure, Mark. Thank you.
