And hello there. Peter Mansbridge here. You're just moments away from the latest episode of The Bridge, and The Bridge on Friday is good talk. That means Chantal Hébert, Bruce Anderson coming right up. [upbeat music] And hello there. Yes, it is Friday, and yes, it is good talk, and, um, as always, lots to talk about. So here's the situation. Um, the prime minister goes to New York yesterday. He speaks to the Economic Club of New York, which is... That's a pretty heavy deal. Uh, whenever a Canadian prime minister speaks there, um, people listen, and they're very attentive to what's going on, and especially so given the current situation between, uh, Canada and the United States. So what was his message? Well, it was a long... not a long speech, but it was a speech that had a lot of things in it, but it came down to this, at least for some people it came down to this. Um, MAGA. Make America Great Again. Those words came out of Mark Carney's mouth, and he said one of the ways to do that is MCS. He didn't use the initials, but what he was talking about was Make Canada Strong.
