1:45
most public law which is what we call
1:48
civil law claims against the government
1:50
Wow okay do you have any big cases at
1:53

2:07
Court I which is just around the corner
2:09
over there so I'm helping the judges of
2:12
the Supreme Court and that's a
2:14
relatively new thing right at the
2:17
Supreme Court is a very new thing in our
2:18
country is that way that's right it was
2:21
founded in 2009 yeah tell me a little
2:23
bit more what did you say you do well I
2:25
manage our businesses my son and I have
2:28
the busiest carwash in North America we
2:32
also have commercial buildings that we
2:34
rent and I'm not sure whether you saw
2:36
the terrible fire in Canada on May the
2:40
3rd that was my city that burned oh I'm
2:43
so sorry and one last question if you
2:46
weren't a stilt walker with your website
2:49
what kind of job would you do Oh
2:53
up in a lot of jobs up in a welder I've
2:56
been a pest control and a beekeeper I'd
3:00
like to go back to beekeeping but I
3:02
don't get stung have you been stung one
3:05
too many times yes yeah I know swell
3:08
that the size of a football
3:14
yeah I know swell up the size of a
3:16
football the elephant man's got nothing
3:19
on me when I get stung now
3:24
the elephant man's got nothing on me
3:27
when I get stung now and my final
3:29
question is if you weren't a civil
3:31
servant what job would you like to do I
3:35
would like to be in the entertainment
3:37
business like a cruise director or
3:42
something like that entertainment on a
3:44
cruise ship because I like cruising
3:48
fantastic would you like to do singing
3:51
or what type of entertainment um I
3:53
probably do the quizzes
3:54
rather than the singing I'm not very
3:56
good at singing so I do I do the quizzes
3:59
fantastic I can imagine you delivering a
4:01
very nice quiz and the last question if
4:05
you weren't able to do what you do what
4:08
would you do
4:10
in my dream world yeah and my dream
4:13
people um
4:15
have a long enough professional career
4:18
or working career but they could have
4:20
two jobs so I've always liked the idea
4:22
of being successful in one job and then
4:23
stopping and doing something else and I
4:25
look around I think I could be a bus
4:27
driver for my second career yeah but I
4:29
think as as young as a child I always
4:31
wanted to be a pilot so if I didn't if I
4:34
if if the dice had rolled slightly
4:35
differently I might be up there flying
4:38
around now
4:43
if the dice had rolled slightly
4:45
differently I might be up there flying
4:48
around now right flying people around
4:50
and I think the closest I can get to
4:52
that now is being a bus driver
4:53
so I I aspire there's your bus I aspire
4:57
to being a bus driver in my second
4:59
career one last question and if you
5:02
