Well, you'd be fine because you don't have to parallel park anymore in

Ontario.

Well, maybe.

You're fine.

They got rid of that.

Yeah, maybe.

One thing I would say I was hoping with the article is it reminds people it isn't a bad idea to invest in a course, like a brush-up course.

It's an attempt to make sure you know what the new rule are

Was he destined to do a show like this?

Well, you could argue maybe I mean, if you look at his upbringing, you know, he's a he's a Toronto kid, you know, he grows up going to CNE and doing all those sorts of things.

Unfortunately, his father, I think passes away when he's around 14.

And a few years later, he starts dating Rosie Schuster, who's the daughter of Frank Schuster, right.

And so Frank, in some ways, becomes a bit of an extra parental figure or father figure.

I'm not saying a replacement or anything like that, but a kind of male role model that Lorne Michaels kind of grows up talking to about comedy and studying.

And at the same time, he's enjoying all the 60s counterculture.

air.

... and what do you think has to change in Canada to increase that, that prevalence of Canadian global leaders?

Yeah.

So I, I think, you know, to, it- it's part of what we think about at Saltire in terms of, uh, you know, like the low-- Canada has a lot of global leaders that are big, you know, the RBCs and, you know, uh, large corporates of the world, um, that are global leaders.

I think, you know, at the sm- uh, I think Canada doesn't do a good enough job to embrace innovation.

I think our, our, uh, productivity gap is shocking for a country like ours.

And, um, and, and I think, uh, I think there's a big, uh, an unnecessary, at points, sort of regulatory burden on s- on smaller companies in terms of, uh, in terms of accessing capital from public investors.

And I, I think that that is a, uh, I think that is a real impediment, um, to, uh...

Mm.

What do you think now having had a f- a weekend or so to, to sort of decompress and, and have a think about things?

Yeah, look, I've heard your point earlier on, and I don't disagree that potentially having, uh, the Great Square winner or the Rising Sun winner go around in one of the Inter Dominion Heats could be an option for us in the future, and certainly something that we'll discuss.

Um, look, potentially, if the race that, uh, the four-year-old championship did not stand up, then it could have created an issue, and we need to ensure that, uh, there is a pathway through that's fair to everybody, uh, for that Rising Sun or Great Square winners to get through to the Inter Dominion Grand Finals.

But, uh, it's a fantastic initiative.

Uh, we know how strong the, the four-year-olds can be.

They're, they've matured as, uh, from three-year-olds and, uh, as we saw on Saturday night, they're up to racing the best of the best.

She defended her, uh, her crown or her tiara, so to speak, so diligently and, and to be able to, I suppose, recapture some of the form that we saw twelve months ago must have been very pleasing for Luke McCarthy and, and for everyone who was there, uh, aboard I Keep Smiling.

Yeah.

How do these two models differ from what is existing in the market already?

Sure.

So Saltire, we're a public company.

We're traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

So we offer business owners a traditional non-fund, non-financially engineered way to transition their business.

We think about this as the succession of their capital rather than the succession of the business itself.

So we allow owners can transition under flexible terms.

very interesting i think treating management teams is you know true partners rather than just assets it creates the trust that is needed for long-term value creation uh so thank you so much for sharing that now uh andrew let's discuss how your recent acquisitions are strengthening essential infrastructure services so i'd love for you to educate our audience and why invest in infrastructure business and how exactly does this fit in your broader strategy as well

What are people asking for when they're typically reporting homelessness to councils?

I think it's a mix.

There is genuine concern in the community for people who are sleeping rough.

Most of us understand that we're in a housing crisis and people aren't there by their own choice.

Sometimes it's complaints.

Sometimes it's driven by fear.

But I think in most cases, people are wanting a positive outcome for people who are sleeping rough in the community.

Andrew, what kinds of funding models or partnerships are appropriate going forward?

Hmm.

So you see orange cones.

They love the orange traffic cones because it implies that in some way the city has said this is okay.

This dibs is, like, m- m- municipally approved.

And then the other one was alluded to is that was a real contractor, is faking, like, a construction site.

So, like, you go out and put, like, some sawhorses and some, like, building, and you pretend that you're actually a builder.

And that would be, like, a Canadian sort of passive way of sneaking dibs under the radar.

Because it's public space, right? And the, the idea that you would think that you own the public space even though you carved a piece out of the wall of snow for, for your car, um, drives some people around the bend as well.
