00:13Great powers can't afford for now to go it alone. They have the market size, the military capacity and the leverage to dictate terms. Middle powers do not.

01:05Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful also, but they're not. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful.
