  1. “I mean, it is, but I think a more useful line, and this is my follow up question if you don't mind, Mark, is we're in an anti-incumbency world, Alistair. So it's in addition to the globalist label, and I think Mark can parry that well. And obviously Mario Draghi is a brilliant statesman, and I think we need common sense integrated with the populism. And it's interesting that the conservative right has hijacked the electorate that voted for the left through our whole lifetime. And so the question is, how do you make that rearticulation to those people? And how do you get them off of what I would call the anti-incumbency fever that everyone's facing? Well, I think, look, I'll keep it obviously focused on Canada. I mean, people want change. They want change in Canada. They deserve change. They need big change.”

  2. “I'm from, you know, I was born in the north of Canada, Northwest Territories, grew up in Edmonton in western Canada. I always came back to this country. These are where my roots are. And you live those values. The second thing I'd say is that the world's a complicated interconnected place. Those connections are changing. You got to understand the world in order to make sure that it's working for real people, the middle class and hardworking people. I don't think you can ignore it and hope that it's going to go away. And we're seeing it right now in Canada with very, very rapid changes in a world, a world that's more divided and dangerous. And that's starting to affect us. It's going to affect us in a much bigger way. I'd rather have a leader who understands that, who can influence it, but also is anchored where they came from, anchored in the country, and working.”

  3. “Today, in terms of where people are thinking about their identity and the identity of Canada. And so make the case. Let's say I threw a rocket, you or an egg or a tomato. I wouldn't throw a rocket at you because I love you, but I'm like an egg or a tomato. And I said, oh, you're a Goldman globalist. What would you say? Well, I think there's a couple things there. And that is right. And I would add Mario Draghi to that list, a former Prime Minister of Italy and head of the European Central Bank. Look, in partner, and I'm looking at you on my screen, Anthony, never forget where you're from. You still live where you grew up.”

  4. “Well, first of all, welcome to the show, Mark. And I think Alistair knows this. You and I started a long time ago at the same place. And so I want to bring it up because Goldman has gone through this arc of Bob Rubin and the government, John Corzine going to governor, Henry Paulson becoming the Secretary of Treasury. And there's a little bit of a globalist label on Goldman, and it's a little different.”

  5. “A few reasons. One, I read your book, All Seriousness. What can I do? And in the context of in the run-up to the holidays, the run-up in December, to the holidays, country was in a bad way, a lot of pressure on similar effects in the UK and the US, pressure on people cost of living, housing gotten away. Government hadn't focused on those issues enough. Prospect of a government that a conservative, very populous government coming in, Trump acolytes in effect coming in. And then with President Trump coming in and some of the early stages of the risks that are now quite manifest, I'm sure we'll talk about them later. I felt I really had a duty to put my hand up and run when the Prime Minister resigned. So, you know. There are times in life, and you've both lived these where you got to stand up and be counted, and this was one of them.”

  6. “Well, first off, thank you, Alistair. Thank you, Anthony, for having me on. Yes, there has to be a flag in the shot, not least because today is Flag Day in Canada. It is the 60th anniversary. Of that flag, the maple leaf flag becoming the official flag of Canada. And it was obviously a symbol of nationhood. What happened was we got rid of the old ensign, which had the Union Jack on it and crest and had a flag that represents the greatness of this country.”
