But, um, uh, CSA Canada Soccer, we, we were, we had to get this, uh, get this interest in to FIFA that we were interested in hosting, and that meant the three levels of government.
M
3:02Mark GrimesGUEST
So there's no, there's no commitment from on the funding point, but we had to get a letter into, uh, Trudeau's hand.
M
3:07Mark GrimesGUEST
So I had to get to my good friend, James Maloney, um, who's a member of parliament but one of my best friends.
M
3:12Mark GrimesGUEST
I had to get him a letter to get into Trudeau's hand, so he had it on his radar screen for, for Canada Soccer.

M
13:55Mark GrimesGUEST
And I, I always say when I was in, in politics, you know, you know, we have to make it affordable.
M
13:59Mark GrimesGUEST
You, you, a guy, you can't have a guy come, you know, five miles to come and, and wash dishes in, in downtown Toronto or downtown New York.
M
14:08Mark GrimesGUEST
So they have to live, and that's why you need affordable housing to make the cities work, right? So, you know, historically, it's been Democrat run, very left-leaning in, in the cities.
