"Honestly, after hearing about Mark Carney's like economic positions and his environmental positions, if he like ran as a conservative, I'd probably vote for him here in the United States." -Zach

"For me, being pro environment is pro life. So I don't know that you can, you know, say, oh, well, we're going to clean up the environment and improve your quality of life for when you sleep under a bridge." -Katie
