00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.820
If Doug takes care of your kids, can you deliver 240,000 adults

2
00:00:04.820 --> 00:00:09.445
as volunteers in the next election? Because if you can, you’re

3
00:00:09.445 --> 00:00:10.340
in the game.

4
00:00:11.533 --> 00:00:12.673
I’m not in government.

5
00:00:16.066 --> 00:00:19.164
My breaking point was my son getting diagnosed and none of this

6
00:00:19.164 --> 00:00:20.246
stuff being available.

7
00:00:27.533 --> 00:00:31.089
I’ll get him to give you a call. He knows the file inside and

8
00:00:31.089 --> 00:00:32.313
out better than I do.

9
00:00:33.154 --> 00:00:37.647
there seems to be a massive private overhead in administering

10
00:00:37.647 --> 00:00:41.993
all of these services. And to me, it’s really weird that it

11
00:00:41.993 --> 00:00:45.234
couldn’t be delivered directly through OHIP.

12
00:00:45.467 --> 00:00:48.967
Never ever be private healthcare under my watch. Never.

13
00:00:52.364 --> 00:00:56.052
…be independent from government. So I personally don’t even know

14
00:00:56.052 --> 00:00:56.744
who’s where.

15
00:01:20.817 --> 00:01:24.847
So when I redesigned this system, that’s why I took government

16
00:01:24.847 --> 00:01:25.497
out of it.

17
00:01:26.367 --> 00:01:30.055
the PC party president, who’s the host is Michael. He’s one of

18
00:01:30.055 --> 00:01:31.007
my best friends.

19
00:01:33.067 --> 00:01:35.866
I think for like a New York minute I was vice chair of his

20
00:01:35.866 --> 00:01:36.687
original campaign

21
00:01:40.467 --> 00:01:43.851
the treasurer is a guy named Peter, he’s actually a good friend

22
00:01:43.851 --> 00:01:44.227
of mine

23
00:02:17.916 --> 00:02:21.676
You’re the supposed power broker here that exists.

24
00:02:21.1000 --> 00:02:25.820
No, no, no, no, no. I’m not a power broker. I’m a person who

25
00:02:25.820 --> 00:02:29.766
applies pressure using power when I deem it to be appropriate.

26
00:02:29.766 --> 00:02:32.440
There’s a difference. I’m nobody’s friend.

27
00:02:33.567 --> 00:02:35.807
I’ve got eyeballs and a lot of them.

28
00:02:36.367 --> 00:02:38.947
Your point is that eyeballs equal pressure.

29
00:02:40.167 --> 00:02:46.605
squeaky wheels in theory get grease but actually voters get

30
00:02:46.605 --> 00:02:47.587
responses

31
00:02:48.540 --> 00:02:52.693
my point, Spencer, was whenever I teach people how to do this,

32
00:02:52.693 --> 00:02:56.913
I’m like, in the end, you kind of, you can’t, you don’t say it,

33
00:02:56.913 --> 00:03:01.133
but it has to be known that it’s like, if you do these changes,

34
00:03:01.133 --> 00:03:05.085
whoever this is, like, whatever they are, we will have your

35
00:03:05.085 --> 00:03:05.420
back.

36
00:03:05.970 --> 00:03:09.932
guys, Doug will give you more money, will you be there for him?

37
00:03:09.932 --> 00:03:12.510
And they’re like, well, we don’t want to.

38
00:03:37.1000 --> 00:03:40.540
You don’t make kids wait five years, like, full stop.

39
00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:50.960
you’re new to the public policy circle but this is reality right

40
00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:22.400
Clear the wait list. Full stop. You’ve got the funds for it.
