It started good, but then started to fall into typical conservative taking points.
He correctly identified that the problem started when Canada sold off crown corporations, but then attributed the problem to over regulation of these newly private cooperation.
Somehow he also called CBC a monopoly in there, which is a wild jump.
My main take away from this video is the best solution is to deregulate (the other points were "increase competition", but at this point that's like politians saying they will create more nurses or doctors, unless you also state a plan I assume you're just blowing smoke). His argument for how deregulating airlines or banking or ISPs would make things better for us didn't really exist.
Regulations might make it hard to start a new bank, so I'll give him that. But I have a hard time seeing how regulations is what's preventing new ISPs or grocery stores from cropping up.
Overall in my opinion it's a captivating video that lacks any substance, which is typical for politicans, but also disappointing because you don't often get to hear them talk about something for over 10 minutes where they actually do have time to explain a plan properly.
On YouTube calling CBC a monopoly. What an ass.
