This is the Royal Palace. You have the wrong number. Well, how do you do, Gratin? And where's His Majesty? He went out, sir, for a walk, I imagine. Her Majesty? Finishing the preparations for her trip. The palace has been in quite an uproar this morning. No, what if the king went out for a walk? And what time does the queen leave? The session leaves the palace at four sharp. The boat sails at six. Well, I must see her before she goes. I have some important news for her. I will tell Her Majesty that you caught. I suppose the king is quite upset over the queen's departure. Yes, sir. He feels very badly about it. Oh, he does, does he? Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. She's out. Her royal highness, Princess Anne. Oh. Daddy. And darling. Give me a cigarette quickly.  You know I feel sorry for your mother. She has to settle all the affairs of the nation before she leaves for America. I know, but she doesn't have to make such an infernal force about everything. She's furious now because father has gone out. Mother tries to boss everything. Well, she's not going to boss me. I'm not her husband.  And may I ask, when do you intend to start? As soon as she's safely away on a trip to America. One of these days mother will pick up a New York paper and discover her daughter has eloped.  Oh, yes, Anne. I wouldn't let you elope alone. Oh, you are sweet, Freddie. You're giving up everything for me, aren't you? I'm giving up everything. Well, I like that. It's you who's giving up everything for me. You will never be forgiven. But I don't want to be forgiven. I only want to get away from this stifling place. I want to be happy and free. You know, there's no one here who will really miss me for a minute when I've gone. Well, there's your father. Yes, there's father. But father won't mind. He'll understand. He'd like to be free, too. If only he'd abdicate. Oh, if he only would. But he won't. He wouldn't dare try anything as strenuous as abdication. Mother wouldn't let him. You know how mother is. Oh. I do. All I think is our duty to keep the throne occupied. Duty. That's all I've been allowed to think about since the day I was born. I'm going to think about myself. My own happiness for a change. I'm going away with you. Oh, but when can we start, Anne? I'm trying hard to be patient, but I can't wait much longer. It's terrible having to wait. Terrible for me, too, Freddie, darling. But we mustn't take any chances until mother safely crossed the Atlantic. Well, I wish her a bon voyage. This is the queen. Has His Majesty taken the trouble to come here yet? No, ma'am, he hasn't. Doesn't he realize that we're to leave here in another hour? Doesn't he know that he's to put on his Uza's uniform for the procession to the harbor? Yes, ma'am, I'm quite certain His Majesty has been advised to that. Then why hasn't he come here? Wouldn't you think that he would know that all this was terribly worrying, terribly upsetting for me? And your father is a very inconsiderate, very thoughtless man.  Father probably thought he'd just be in the way. Well, he would have been in the way. But just the same, he should have spoken to me before he went out. Lord Burton called, ma'am. He asked to see you. Suggested he had good news for you, and said he'd come back later. Then I shall wait right here.  Yes, ma'am. Has General Norther been here? No, ma'am. Prime Minister hasn't been to the palace all day. I hope he doesn't come. I hope I never see his scowling face again. Now, mother, you know you'd be perfectly furious if he didn't stop in to wish you good-bye. I don't want any kind wishes from General Norther. Thank you. I don't like it. He's no business to be prime minister of this country. Yes, if it weren't for General Norther in his army, this country would be a republic. And where would you be then? I know where I'd be. I'm happy to say there is no danger of that. Thank heaven. Thank heaven we have the confidence and loving loyalty of our people. The monarchy will never fall. Oh, fair is the king. What are nurses he think he's doing, wandering aimlessly around when he's needed here? Oh, forget it, mother. There's plenty of time. There'll never be plenty of time for your father. Probably you'll need a shave, and that always takes him hours. And? Someday you'll be a queen. And then you'll know what troubles I've had, what sacrifices I've made. Then you'll know what I've had to put up with. Don't worry, mother. You're going away on a nice, long vacation. Vacation? Do you think for one moment that I'm going to America for pleasure? I'm going to work for the good of my dear country. I never do anything that isn't for the good of my country. Yes, ma'am. General Norther, together with the Marcus of Britain, ma'am. There you are, important business to be attended to, and the king is not here. I will see them. I'll speak to the king about this with everything that I have on my mind, and if he's dawdling about in his manner, simply dismiss. Is Supreme Excellency the Prime Minister? Is Excellency the Foreign Minister? Your Majesty. Your Majesty. Your Royal Highness. Your Royal Highness. Gentlemen. I've been given to understand, ma'am, that His Majesty is not here. You've not been misinformed. I have some matters of vital importance to discuss. Then you may discuss them now. We're leaving in a short time, and we cannot wait for the king. I've had another conference with the people's leader, ma'am. Dr. Feldman. You can't ask me to become excited about that, General. You're always having conferences. And if I weren't, we'd find ourselves involved in a revolution. A revolution? What nonsense. Feldman wouldn't dare try anything like that. Ah, but Feldman isn't the only one, ma'am. There are others. Hundreds of thousands of them. Determined to overthrow the monarchy. Are you arresting any of these violent-minded men? We're arresting them by the hundreds. There can be but one punishment for such traitors. And that punishment is death. Then why not execute them? There's a reason for that, ma'am. You may or may not know that our constitution provides... You don't have to tell me anything about our constitution. My great-grandfather wrote it. Go on. Then you are aware that no political prisoner can be put to death until his sentence has been counter-signed by the king. Well... There are over 50 such death sentences in his majesty's desk at this very moment, waiting to be signed. They've been there for over a week. Is this true, Brunton? Why? Why yes, ma'am. I tell you, ma'am, the situation is intolerable. These executions must go through. At once. They shall go through. Here's the majesty of the king. Good afternoon. Have you been? I've been down to the royal zoo, my dear. I've been watching the penguins walk. I love to watch the penguins do they walk just like human beings. We've no time now to discuss penguins. Mm-hmm. What's the matter? I've just heard that you've neglected to sign hundreds of orders for the execution of dangerous characters. Who told you that? I told her that, sir, and I shall be happy to repeat my words to you. You needn't bother. I can't understand how you could be so careless. How you could neglect your duty in such a slip-shardly responsible manner. But don't you realize that these criminals will murder us all if you give them a chance? Can't you see that the monarchy is in dreadful danger? My dear, I... Her Majesty is right. Naturally. Now, just what am I to do about it? You're to sign those orders of execution. They've been accumulating in the desk for weeks. On my desk? On my desk? Quiet. I'm not cutting around here wet with those. You've never heard of anything quite as ridiculous as that in my life, the paper's gotten. I'm afraid it's my fault, sir. I took him down to the Lord Chancellor's office for verification. Well, you go right down to the Lord Chancellor's office and get them right back again. Yes, sir. There you see it wasn't my fault after all. My opinion, that man should be instantly dismissed. I should hope so. He's a pest anyway. I'll attend to him later. And the signed orders will be in my hands today. General, you may rest assured that I shall make every effort in my power. My will. I will see to that. There you see you can put right out of your mind now. I understand that Lord Burton has something to say to us. Well, we're always adding it, Lord Burton. I think you'll be glad to hear what I have to say, sir. I am happy. I am proud to say that I've completed the little arrangement on which we've all set our hearts. So, what was that? I received only an hour ago telegraphic communication from the Foreign Office in Gregg. Yes? What is it? I think that a marriage can be arranged between Prince William of Gregg and our own beloved Princess Anne. What? Is it settled? Practically. And I may add that this could never have been accomplished had it not been for the tireless efforts of your majesty. My darling child, you're against the marriage. Allow me to offer my heartfelt congratulations, your royal highness. And my congratulations. This will give us the prestige we've so long deserved. Congratulations for what? It's a glorious triumph for our diplomacy. Anne, you've made a perfectly marvelous match. I've made a match? What have I had to do with it? Have I been asked? So it is even bothered to consult me about this? Well, I believe I can explain. It was advisable to keep this matter a profound secret for diplomatic reasons. Thus, we deemed it unwise to divert the terms even to your highness. The terms? Oh, so there were terms! Oh, yes. Your majesty, the marriage agreement provides that the Princess Anne will, of course, become Empress of Gregg in due time. Now, the eldest son will become the heir to the throne. The second son will become... Two brothers. My sons. So the contract provides that I shall produce two male children. Well, how do you know I can? Anne, how are you? The shocking, the indelicate. That's just what it is. Indelicate. Horrible revolting. Anne, come with me this instant. Come to your rooms. Do you hear? Father, you love me. You understand me. Can you let this terrible thing happen? Are you going to let them do this to me? We're all right, my darling. You go to your rooms. I'll talk about it later. Come with me. Go to your mother, Anne, and, uh... Don't cry anymore. It's a little task with her. Poor child. Then she'll get over it when she realizes what this means. Just what does it mean? This is beyond question the greatest diplomatic victory in the history of our... No, not at all. That does not go into all that again. I know it is a glorious triumph. You all deserve to be very proud of yourself. But I also know that I do not care to entrust my daughter's happiness to Prince William of Gregg. Now it appears so.  There is no light in which this would appear other than disagreeable and distasteful. My child, I do not care to hear or speak of it again. Your Majesty, you didn't think you can block our plans for this wedding? Don't worry. It's all settled. Here's the marriage contract signed and sealed. They're as good as married now. Ah, good. Good. But I'm planning to give it a queen for a time. We'll be able to get things done now. Oh, she wouldn't appear in this marriage. She's as anxious for her to go through as we are. Yes, I know, but she's too officious. The king at least knows enough to keep his place. Well, she's very useful sometimes. Yes, as a press agent. She'll make these rich Americans pay heavily for the privilege of shaking hands with the royalties. But here at home, we're not dealing with Americans. Dr. Feldman and his revolutionists are looking for trouble, and I'm going to see that they get it. What have you done with that checkerboard? Making your Majesty's pardon. I placed it here for safekeeping. Well, I wish you'd all get together and come to some definite permanent hiding place for this checkerboard. Yes, sir. Perhaps I should explain, sir, that Herod and Majesty found the old one and had it thrown out. Well, there's one satisfaction, sir. There's always plenty more checkerboards. Yes, sir. Come on now.  Oh, sir. You know, Phipps, you have an unfair advantage over me. An unfair advantage, sir? But you Majesty, imagine that I should be given the effective cheating in checkers.  What I meant was that you get a chance to practice. Now, I'll wager that when you're off duty, you practice with the finest checker players in the city. I never get any chance to practice. You're the only one around the whole place will ever play checkers with me. You know, I thought at one time that I might interest the queen in the game, but she couldn't seem to appreciate this chance. Remarkable woman, Her Majesty. A remarkable woman, but she simply will not play checker. It, uh, it would be Your Majesty's first move this time. No, sir. Well, there you are. Pardon, sir, that you've got to jump. Oh, have I? Sir, you do practice, don't you, Phipps? Tell me. Tell me, Phipps, have you any children? Six, sir. All sons, I presume. No, sir, there's one daughter. Married? Yes, sir, she is. To a young man of her own choice? Yes, sir. Unfortunately, she chose a scientific farmer, sir. And I may say that it's been a source of, uh, some regret to me and to her mother. You wanted her to marry someone else? Yes, sir. We didn't consider him quite, uh, eligible, shall I say. We dote the girl, like Mary, in her own class. Is she happy? Yes, sir. I suppose she's happy and in a rather rustic sort of way, sir. Take part in, sir. That's the buzzer. See who it is, will you, Phipps? Yes, sir. I want to talk to you, Father. Yes, my dear. Alone? You, uh, you may go, Phipps. It will be my next move, sir. I want you to tell me something, Father. And I want you to tell me the truth. Then what is it, then? Didn't you know about this ghastly thing they're trying to do? Were you part of the conspiracy? No, I didn't know. Oh, I'm glad, Father. Well, they're not going to make a political bride out of me. Do you know this man you're supposed to marry? Prince William? No, but I see his picture in the newspapers surrounded by a lot of chorus girls. Well, you shouldn't read those tiny newspapers.  If I marry him, they'll all be laughing at me. But sympathizing with me, it'll be just as bad either way. I tell you, Father, I won't do it. I won't do it. I'll renounce my position. I'll go into exile. But I won't marry that foul man. But my dear child, you have to marry someone. You must do your share toward perpetuating the family. The family can end here and now for all I care. But they must have two male children. They can adopt them.  I want to be a person. Well, being a member of the royal family has its advantages, Anne. Think of all the orphan asylums you can inspect. Oh, don't joke about it, Father. It's terribly serious to me. But when we drive through the streets and I look at the poor beggars, I think to myself. I know. You think to yourself, cheerfully, gladly, would I change places with even such as you? I know. I've heard that speech to myself a thousand times in the days of my youth. And did it do me any good? Have I ever become a person? Have I ever found that freedom that is enjoyed by the celebrated beggar in the gutter? I'm afraid not, Anne. I turned out to be a king. And you intend to be just the king all the rest of your life? Well, I'm afraid I'll have to stick to the job now, even if there isn't any future. Well, never mind, Father.  Well, I could be a bad king for all the differences I make in young Grunton, for instance. He's a commoner by birth, but he's a royalist at heart. And I'm quite sure that if we were languishing in exile, you would find young Grunton perched on a soapbox in the park, arguing for the restoration, and he'd go to his death trying to long live the king. Oh, no, he wouldn't. Grunton would go into exile with us and be glad to do it. Well, how do you know that? Well, I talk to him now and then, naturally. Oh, I see. Well, Grunton, we'll be just discussing you, please, sir. Yes. What would you say if I told you I'd decide to abdicate? Would you tremble in every fiber of your being?   Or would you murmur, devoutly to yourself? It's about time the old boy got onto himself and retired. I can only say, sir, that I should follow your majesty, and then eventually you might choose to undertake from there. Thank you, Grunton. Thank you. That's all I wanted to know. Now make some bold, sir, as to ask whether you have any such revolutionary idea in mind. You may make some bold. But my answer is no. I have the faintest idea of abdicating. Oh, you have a paper, sir, for what you asked. Paper? The answer's paper? Yes, the orders for the execution of prisoners. Oh, you've found them. Yes, sir, ready for signature. Well, well, you think I might have to lose them again? Yes, sir. Well, that'll be all. That'll be all. How long has this been going on? What? This little romance? How did you know? King knows everything. You know that if you paid strict attention to your school books. Oh, Father, you've got to help it. You're the only one who can help it. I know, but you haven't told me how long this has been going on. For months. We fell in love. We couldn't help it. That's a natural impulse, I suppose. Have you made any plans for the future? Yes, we're going to a loaf as soon as Mother's land is America. We'll go to France. That's a free country, isn't it? Reasonably so. And after we get there, we'll be married, and Freddie will find work of some kind. He's always wanted to write, or paint, or something. We'll have babies and be happy, and we'll come to visit it. And the third day of my visit, Grant will say, is your father going to stay here forever? Oh, he won't say any such thing. He loves you. And besides, he's much too sweet to be mean to anyone. Well, are you aware of the character of your fiancee family? Freddie's father's one of the richest men in the kingdom. I know, all Mr. Granton is one of the pillars of the state financial. But he is a plumber. A wholesale plumber? Nevertheless, he does mess up with bathroom utensils. I don't care what he is or isn't. I love Freddie, and nothing in heaven or earth is going to stop me from marrying him. I'm afraid your mother will not be very enthusiastic about this. I think I hear the buzzer. Her Majesty the Queen. You happen to realize what crime it is? My mind is, isn't it?  And in half an hour, I'm going away across 3,000 miles of ocean to America. It was strange, barbarous country. Is it barbarous at all? It is barbarous. I've seen moving pictures about it. Where did that checkerboard come from? General Northrup must have left that here. Are you going to check your clothes for the procession? Yes, I am. It's the Hussar's uniform, and it is Hussar's uniform. Then why not do something about it? And you, too. The procession starts at four sharp, and I want you to look very neat. There are to be over 20 photographers between the palace and the dust. I hope they don't take any close-ups. I look awful in the film. Today is the coming marriage of Princess Anne to Prince William of Brick.  Yes, Your Majesty. In two months, her royal highness will have a birthday. I've arranged a ball for the occasion. You will see that she has an enjoyable evening. Yes, Your Majesty. It's most unfortunate that I have to go away at this time. Just when your engagement, Prince William, is to be announced. But the mission which takes me away is a very important one. I am going to do my duty. I want you both to bear that in mind while I'm away. Don't worry, Mother. You can leave everything to us. We'll do our best in our small way here at home. But, pardon, no, sir. I am very sorry to say, sir, that Your Majesty has lied. Did you? I've just come from the extracession of power. Never mind, Parliament. Yes, Brigadier. Well, no one will obey my commandment. I'll talk about it then. Excuse me, please, sir. It was the quarrel of my confusion. Your Majesty has lied. I didn't lose. Your Majesty, her royal highness, the Princess Anne, wishes me to tell you that the ball awaits your appearance, sir. Northrop dictator with absolute power. Dr. Fongalov spoken up for Northrop in reply. He shouted that the people were ready for war. So was he. He pounded the table with his fists when he said it is a crisis.  You run right over to the war office. He was the latest fans on honey back. All right, sir. This is our churn. Who's churn? I'll tell you about it for so long. But this is our last churn time to be married. Next week, if I don't go away now, I never will. There's no time to talk about love. I don't care what's happening. The army and the Navy can shoot their heads off if they want to. I'm going to be married to be free. Do you remind me of your mother? All officers report that command immediately. My men will escort the ladies to safety. Take this place to the city. Come, we've got to go. This head begs you men on the double. You take them right out of here. I don't want to. The head begs you men on the double. Then I have you around, sir. Thank you, sir. You know, I have half a mind to give that fellow another medal. Is the yacht anchored to Stannage? Yes. The road open? Oh, yes. It's about a two-hour drive, isn't it? Father, are we running away? No, but you are, and Granton is going with you. But I can't do that. Are you on to escape? Here's your chance. But how are we going to do it? The yacht is anchored to Stannage. I'll give orders. I'm going to sail tonight for Sherbourg with you on board. Now go upstairs, pack your things, change your clothes, and don't forget to take your toothbrush. Oh, Father, at last, at last, I'm getting away from this prison. I'm through with this. You'll never be sorry you've done this for me. I'll be so happy. And you'll be happy too, won't you? I expect so. I thank you too. But I can't accept this gracious offer, sir, Granton. Oh, why not? I couldn't leave you with all this danger threatening, sir. Oh, don't be silly. I have a whole army and navy to protect me. I don't need you. So what is it you want me to do? You're to marry my daughter. You're to write, to paint, or something, and you're to have babies. I forget what it all is about. General Northrop to see your majesty. There you see. The palace is perfectly safe. Even Northrop's willing to come here. Do you want to see him, sir? I do not. You see him, find out what he wants, and I'll get the orders off to Stanley. All right, sir. Show him in, hips. Very good, sir. We make to the table, the prime minister. Where's the king? He's gone to his room. I have a communication with Dr. Philman. I thought he might care to see you. Well, I can take you to him, sir. Oh, never mind. Doesn't matter anyway. I suppose his majesty doesn't care to be knowing his business managers now. Here, give that to the king. I beg your pardon, General Northrop. Those are his majesty's cigars. I know it. Get me the Admiral of the office. I give you an order, Mr. Granton. You tend to obey it, or must I entrust it to a more dependable servant? I want to talk to our general. This is General Northrop. Yes. Are the rest of the ships ready to go into action? Good. There we are. Lord Betton, to see his majesty. Send him in. I'll see him. Anywhere. Look, you seem to be in poor possession. Yes, the king has gone to his room. He's hiding under the bed, I suppose. Well, it's the best place for him. And how goes the battle? Oh, don't call that far, the battle. Well, I hope you get it over with soon. That noise is simply terrific. I know I shan't be able to sleep a week tonight. Well, we won't quit until we make a clean job of it. Well, you'd better hurry it up. Prince William of Breck arrived for the wedding next week. I am told that he's a very nervous young man. Ah, good evening, gentlemen. Good evening, sir. Ah, Northrop, have a cigar. Oh, you have one. Did you get my note, sir? Yes, I did. I've had the admiral's thing on the wire. The rest of the ships are ready to start shelling. Well, you can't do that. You'll kill thousands of men and women. Well, I've given them fair warning. I wish with no to Betton giving them a half hour in which to lay down their arms and surrender. And what was their answer to that? They said they'd never give in until I was ready to arbitrate. Well, then why not arbitrate? But I arbitrate to that, wabble. Well, I appreciate the delicacy of your feelings, Northrop. But the naval guns will not go into action. I regret to say, sir, that I must be allowed to handle this crisis as I see fit. I am nearly told you have my plans just as a battle of courtesy. I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Sometimes frankness pays. And I'm here to tell you that I am running this show and I intend to run it in my own way. You're quite right. Frankness does pay sometimes. So I'd like to ask you what are your intentions? Are you going to set up a republic? You've already bullied your way into the dictatorship there by making me more of a cipher than ever. Your next step is evidently the presidency. When are you going to take that step? I resent that insinuation. I resent it bitterly. That was not an insinuation. That was a frank statement of fact. Well, whatever it was, you've resented it.  They're shooting the wrong way. Something gone wrong with your plans, General? Hiresome, put a stop to this nonsense. Break a few kernels for this, sir. Here, don't forget the Sunday hack. Oh! Oh! I think I'd better go over to the foreign office. You take my advice and try the cellar. You mustn't stay here, sir. It's very dangerous.  I think I can depend on you. Always, sir. I want to get the Princess Anne out of this. The office is static. Granted, we'll take her there. You escort them both. As far as the harbor, the season they get away safely. Now, get a car, a good one. Have it at the Quinn Street entrance right away at Hudding. Yes, sir. Car will be ready in a few minutes. Let's go at once. What were those explosions? Shells, my dear. The fact of the matter is, the revolution is stalled. General Norfolk's artillery when he was looking. And they're trying to shell the palace? It seems that way. What are you doing? Do you think I'd go now? Well, my dear child, you must go. There's your one chance you can't lose it. Too late now, Father. I'm going to stay here because I love you. And because we must be together when they come. Good for you, Anne. Well, there's nothing left for me to do except burst into tears. That's all right. One seems to have landed in the queen's room. I wish Phipps were here. What do you want, a Phipps? Anything you want, I'll do it. Go down to the cellar right away and get about a dozen bottles of champagne. It seems to me the time has come to all get gloriously drunk. So, Father, that's a marvelous idea. I think your Majesty, Dr. Feldman is here. Feldman? He wants to see you. He insists that he must. Oh, Father, don't see him. Nonsense. Show him in. You go get that champagne. Look, sir, I'd better stay here.  Get the champagne, get lots of it. You never can tell this fellow Feldman might want to drink, too. Go on. Come in, Dr. Feldman. Thank you, sir, for having the courage to see me. I hope you'll part the appearance of this room. It's a bit upset at the moment. Is the bodyguard absolutely necessary? I am on arms. You may go, Glenn. Well, tell me, doctor, to what am I and get it for this visit, et cetera, et cetera? A great many lives are being lost tonight, sir. Unnecessarily lost. Otherwise, I should not have risked my own to come here. I commend your courage, doctor. But tell me, why are your people trying to batter down the palace? You know, they might want to use it for a museum or something. You, sir, have never come into contact with reality. You have lived your quiet, detached life here. No one has ever told you the truth. No one ever takes the trouble to tell me anything. I understand. But you are the ruler of this nation. That's why you make a great mistake, doctor. I am not the ruler. I am merely the king. And are you satisfied, sir, that you have been a good king? Well, I've always been on time at all official functions. My public speeches have been brief and a good taste. I've always appeared presentable on dress parade. My home life is above reproach. I don't know what else I could have done to fulfill my obligations to my people. You could have prevented them from being driven to despair. I could have done that. You have an exaggerated idea of my importance, doctor. Well, the people have the vote. Why don't they use it? Why don't they throw an offer about and put you in? The issue is up to you, sir. It is not up to me. I have no right to meddle in the state's business. I merely a figurehead and an undue ornamental one of that. Then, sir, on behalf of the people, I must demand your abdication. All the murder will stop soon. Hello? No, put it through the analysis. Now you will see what your rage has come to. But an honestest will do no good. This country must have a permanent peace. I warn you, sir. If you wish to save your country, you must abdicate. And you must do it at once. There's nothing to be done now, except that your people must surrender. And trust ourselves to the mercy of Northrop. He'll overrule you, sir. Oh, no, he won't. I give you my word that you must take my word for it. I accept your word, sir. You do. Thank you, doctor.  Your Majesty, General Northrop is on his way up. He is, eh? Well, Dr. Feldman, I don't know how you got here. But you must go where he is soon as possible. Here, Blank. Take Dr. Feldman to my apartment and escort him as far as necessary. The Naval Guns disease firing? I did. Well, I have come here to tell you that the last order you would give out. You don't have to remind me of that. Hardly enough, I commented on that very fact of the time. I want you to understand that I am in charge here. And I will have any interference from you or anyone else. You realize that you're talking to your king. Ah, we're talking now as man to man.  Give me the hand with the office. The battleship will resume firing. The battleship will not resume firing. I was wrong to not interfere with me. I gave those orders to the Navy and they ought to stand. I am the one to give orders to the Navy. I am the dictator by act of parliament. I am the king by the grace of God. Ah, don't use that cat-trace on me. You'll be king only as long as I and my army. I'm in hand to keep you on the throne. Now, look here, Norfolk.   In fact, I'm getting awfully fed up on your personal appearance. Oh, who are you, Your Majesty? Don't majesty me. As you said before, we were talking man to man. Now, I'm going to take this opportunity to remind you of something. I hope the revolution wins.  Possibly I am. Possibly I've been a traitor all along. But if my throne depends on you and your army, I don't want to sit on the rotten thing any longer. It's a war office for you. No, no, thank you. Good, I'll be right over. Well, I've surrendered. Who, eh? Gentlemen and lakers. I'm conditioned to re-arbitrate. Well, of course you'll arbitrate. Oh, yes, you'll arbitrate right and up with machine guns. This matter will be centered without machine guns. And by whom? By me. By you. I don't need you and your army. I don't need your hand-thick power. But I have another power on my side. And what power may I ask the people? You're the people. You're the people for all they will. But first be sure, they are on your side. Putting me in my place. Oh, don't worry about him. Would you need us some champagne? I know, my dear, but the revolution is over. Then we have nothing to celebrate. You know, so that fellow Norfolk is becoming absolutely insufferable. He came in here this morning and acted as if he owned the place. I know, but I talked back to him. But the bullet only grazed his cheeks, sir. But it was sent to nature. Don't worry, and if they couldn't hit Norfolk...  She will not. Oh, no, all the work, all the responsibilities left to me. If I weren't hit a toil and slave, there wouldn't be any way. Here! I've just been given all the rest of the wedding. Come here and let me look at you. Dordogs and Christopher. Well, sir, the truth, I didn't have room for it. Well, fine room. I'd have trouble enough getting this palace patched up without having to worry about your personal appearance. Where are you going? I was just going for that order. I want you to go up and talk to Anne. But I haven't anything particular to say. I don't know what's happened to Anne while I was away. This absurd revolution seems to have gone to our head if there were to be an outburst of temperament during the ceremony. Well, you know what Prince William is like. He'd pack up and go home without another word. Well, you wouldn't call that a tragedy. It would be a disaster. I want you to explain this to Anne. She pays more attention to you. Heaven knows why. You must talk to her. And they burn. Yes, my dear, I will. And if you find me being otherwise infirm, you must remind me. Well, what is it that Mother has told you to tell me now? Anne, I'm to give you this bit of advice. When the Archbishop says to you, do you take this man for your lawful husband, you are to respond, I do. You are not to tell him where you think he should go. But suppose I feel like saying just that. You are to have absolutely no feelings at all today. If any apropos remark secure to you, you are to direct them to your husband.  That's another thing that you possibly must not do today. Father, can you stand by and joke about it? I gave you your chance during the revolution. You wouldn't take it. I couldn't take it. I couldn't. Can't you understand that? You did the right thing, then, Anne. And I was glad and I was sorry that you did it. But you bear the curse of royalty yet. You will always do the right thing, even when you know it's the wrong thing. I wish they'd stood us up for four firing squads that night. Prince William of Gregg to see her royal highness. Shall we see him? Yes, perhaps he changes minds. Send him in. William of Gregg. That is, I should say, Willie, your majesty. Your royal highness, we're surprised to see you. Pleasantly surprised, am I day? I came here expressly to see the bride. Tell the truth, sir. I had hoped I might see her. Alone? You have something of an intimately personal nature to discuss I take in. Exactly. Well, that being the case, I shall take this opportunity to take a ride on my bicycle. Shall we both sit down? No. You apparently have something on your mind. I have. It's killing me. I would like to have it there. You're worried about our marriage? I am. I thought so. I may as well begin by telling you. I don't like you. I don't like you a bit. And you'd like to be released? I most certainly would. Then I release you. I wouldn't think of holding you against your will. I merely said I should like to be released. Doesn't mean that I'm asking to be released. Then what do you want? I merely want to talk to you. And I should say a few things while our relationship is still on a fairly friendly basis. After all, I shall have to live with you for fully two weeks. The thought is revoking to you. It's none too palatable to me. The fact remains, we are about to be married. Why not make the most of it? Go ahead and make the most of it, if you like. But don't expect any hardly cooperation from me. Look here, Anne. I'm perfectly willing to swallow my prejudices against you and pretend to be highly romantic. Why not respond? Oh, so that's it. You want me to make love to you. Oh, I beg your pardon. Why, Anne, what's the matter? If you don't mind. This is the man I love, the man I'll always love. Why, Anne, I have misjudged you grossly. Granton, my apologies. I've been making indecent proposals to your fiance. She's not my fiance, she's yours, and I love her. And I love you. I can't pretend to love anyone else. It does make it a bit awkward, doesn't it? I know it doesn't. I'm terribly sorry, not for you, but for her. Well, is everything settled? Yes, everything's settled. Then the wedding is not to be canceled? Oh, no, Your Majesty. We're more desperately in love than ever. How perfectly, Charlie. I really must be moving on. However, we will meet again at the altar. With the wedding bells ringing merrily and the organ booming forth, it's impressive message of...  Goodbye. Good day, young man. My congratulations. Good day, sir. Good afternoon, wille. What a curious young man. He's lonesome. It's my duty to tell you, sir, that I must resign from your majesty's service. Well, you're going away to forget, I suppose. Yes, sir. Oh, Father, I can't let Freddie go. I'd much rather kill myself. Well, you may have that done for you. What do you mean, sir? Well, I have an appointment here with Dr. Feldman and Mr. Laker, his friend, very shortly. And if we don't pacify Laker before the wedding, there will be bomb, bullet, and so forth. Well, then, sir, we better notify General Norton from the police. No, no, this is my private secret. I'm not sharing it, even with General Norton. But it's a new member of the royal family all to venture out in the vet mob. Let him have a ceremony here. No, this ceremony will be at the cathedral as planned. We mustn't disappoint the archbishop by he has an elaborate candle display all ready for the occasion. Father has pity on me. I'm desperate. I have nothing but unsteakable horror to look forward to. Let them throw their bombs. Don't try to talk them out of this. I'm not going to. I'm going to introduce them both to your mother. Imagine. Oh, get away. Here, Branton, I want you to give this to the archbishop. It's the prayer he's to deliver to conclude the ceremony. Yes, ma'am. Some of you can pose yourself, my dear. Yes, I wouldn't leave it at that old numbskull. He'd say just the wrong thing and get into the newspapers. I have to think of everything. And don't you realize that you ought to be ready to leave the palace in 20 minutes? Yes, mother. I've memorized the whole list of instructions. I'll start. What on earth's the matter with her? Well, she just had an interview with Prince Willie and she's not feeling quite herself. Poor Anne. Poor Anne, indeed. That rebellious young lady doesn't know when she's in love. You remember the day of our wedding? I do. What were your emotions then? How did you feel? What were you thinking of? I know what I was thinking of. I was grimly determined to do my duty. And you did. But didn't you feel a spark of rebelliousness, mother? Wasn't there a small but insistent voice within you that kept saying, run away now. Run away before it's too late. Save your one chance of love. Save your happiness. Didn't you have to fight hard to suppress it? I did suppress it. My strength was greater than my weakness. I didn't run away. I went to the cathedral. I faced you at the altar. And when we stepped out in the balcony to be cheered by the crowds, I smiled on them to let them know that I was happy.  No, I haven't. I haven't forgotten that smile, Martha. It was a gruesome smile. And when I saw it, I wanted to say to you, go away now.  Go before it's too late. Don't ruin your life for me.  I've made a success of it. I've served my country well. And I want my daughter to be worthy of the honorable tradition which she inherits. Poor Anne, she'll be a rotten queen. General Norfolk and Lord Betten to see your majesties. Well, great Scott, I don't want to see him right now. Why not? Well, to tell you the truth, Norfolk and I are not exactly on speaking to her. What nonsense. You need pay no attention to that blowhard Norfolk. Ips, show Betten and Norfolk to the council chamber. I'll settle him. Your majesties. Your majesties are just been informed by the Greggian ambassador of a conspiracy to prevent the wedding. And the princess Anne is planning an elopement. An elopement with who? With Frederick Grant Harris, with that snippy young secretary of yours. Who told you that? By Prince William himself, your majesties. And the princess told him that she was in love with Granton. And her actions confirmed it. Yes, I've had Granton arrested. He's in the palace guard house now. Well, what do you propose to do with Granton? Oh, your majesties, I have a suggestion to offer. There's a tramp steamer sailing with him in the hour for the eastern coast of South America. Why not place Granton aboard that boat? No, it's safer to shoot him. General Northrop is right. Oh, the stumble. I could kill him myself. No, no. I think an execution would be messy. It would cause torque. I favor Berton's plan. It's much more sensible. But no one need know that he'd been put to death. Oh, but your majesties, his father might become inquisitive. Who cares what his father thinks? He's a plumber. Father, he's a wholesale plumber. And don't forget, Northrop, Mr. Granton's senior contributes to your campaign fund. Oh, well, we'll put him aboard the ship then. This is the pounding our craze to think that this has been going on in this very palace and that I shouldn't have known anything about it. It does seem incomprehensible, doesn't it, Sebs? Send me Blent, right away, please. Yes, your majesties. You started this miserable, sordid affair. It wasn't an affair. It is a romance. Northrop, will you counter-sign that to make it entirely legal, please? Oh, Blent, I've just written an order of exile, Mr. Granton. You ought to execute that order. You ought to thank him in a closed car for harbor and put him on board, uh, what's the name of that boat? Oh, the steamship Kaleo, sir. Captain Wicklid, commande.  Oh, yes, sir. Do you give this order to the captain? Signed by me, counter-signed by General Northrop. Thanks. Full instruction. I've seen that the prison isn't put aboard until the last moment for sailing. And I suggest, major, that you remain with him until the ship is well out of the harbor. He might be a good swimmer. What did we got that in time? Oh, the blow would have finished me. Dr. Hellman is here, accompanied by... Hellman! ...Mr. Bellman. What does he want? He says he has an appointment with His Majesty. He is accompanied by... But this can't be true! What does this mean? It means that Dr. Bellman has an appointment with me. Is Dr. Bellman alone? No, sir. He is not alone. As I've been attempting to explain, sir, for some time, he is accompanied by Mr. Laker. Laker, why, that... Sir, he won't have him in the palace. But he's already in. Then have him put out at once. Don't do that. We must speak to him very kindly. If not, he's liable to upset all our plans for the wedding. What could they do to prevent the wedding? Well, they could assassinate Prince Willis, thereby removing the bridegroom. Very well. I consent to see them under protest. Yes, but you better let me do the talking. Thank you, General Norfolk. I think you can leave the situation in my hands. Bring them in, Fitz. Your Majesty. Hellman and Mr. Laker. May I present Her Majesty the Queen? Your Majesty. Your Majesty. General Norfolk. Mark's business, of course, you know. Now that's all settled. I'll hear what you have to say because none of us must be late for the wedding. Your Majesty knows the situation so far as we are concerned. You have been warned. Your Majesty, a week ago, after an extremely violent battle, the revolutionists announced that they were willing to lay down their arms. Our surrender constituted an acceptance of our time. What were those terms? It's the chief cause of all the trouble, the unemployment situation being relieved. You have refused even to consider a council for arbitration. Quite right, too. I can do nothing about unemployment till we have the money available. May I ask, sir, what is being done with a loan of 100 millions of dollars recently negotiated in America? Ah, I knew it. You're trying to rob our country of the money I earn. And the people must pay the interest. Someday they must pay the principle that they have a right to their share. Is that on reasonableness? Is that on reasonableness, Your Majesty? I beg your pardon. I wasn't listening. I told you so, Bellman. We wait for our time coming here to talk to these tyrants. Your Majesty, I have tried to bring this business to a sensible conclusion. I am afraid it cannot be done. I don't care to be dictated to by you people. I shall arbitrate when I'm entirely ready to do so. Now, my own terms. That's yours. Very well. We'll show you our strength today. But, every royal candle in Europe is represented here today. The emperor and empress of Greece are here. They'll have to take their chances along with the rest of you. Oh! And if any of you reach the cathedral alive, it will be due to an oversight that hour far. All right. We'll settle this matter once and for all today. It should be a fight to the death. To the death. And the blood guilt will be yours. I accept it. With time. Come on, Bellman. We've talked enough. Now, just one minute. Now, Norbert, I'm quite sure that you'd be willing to take the blame for my death, but I couldn't allow you to assume that responsibility. I have here a very interesting volume, a very rare volume. The constitution of our country. I took it out of the library last night and read it from cover to cover. And really, it is surprisingly interesting reading. I must ask your majesty to excuse me. I have much to attend to. Now, Laker, you tend to me just a minute. I won't take much of your time. As I said, I read the constitution last night and I was deeply impressed with the passages that describe the duties, functions, and powers of the king. General Norbert, it is my command that Parliament be dissolved. What? Parliament is dissolved. Have you gone completely mad? What? You can't do that. Look at it in the constitution. Put your majesty. In Parliament, the state sees it to exist. No, it doesn't. I am the state. I shan't be a part of the minister's idiocy. You mean you resign? I do. Splendid. I've had your resignation type written for quite some time, just in case. Fine, right, then. Oh! Dr. Feldman, I've heard you Prime Minister.  Have a general election for new Parliament once. The state of our country is interested in these men that don't mean death and dishonour for us all. We're living with cherished... Well, Norbert, it's high time you were taken down.  You seem to forget this as in every well-ordered monarchy, the throne is supreme. There, Norbert, that's that. Your Majesty, I am a soldier. I shall continue to devote my life to my country. Very well said, Norbert. As a soldier, you can help us enforce the laws, the new laws. Good day, General. Good day, Lord Burton. You're out of a job, too. Your Majesty, my services are always at your command. We can always do with a good diplomat. Good afternoon. Good day, sir. It worked wonders. He both handled it splendidly. Your Majesty, your people will bless you for this. They will never cease to honor your name.  A real holy... We are proud of you, sir. Goodbye, Your Majesty. Goodbye, Your Majesty. Sest you to do this. I want to save the wedding, my dear. I want to prevent a revolution. It seemed the only way to... Nobody had any intention of throwing bombs, but you made the whole thing up. The revolution was nothing but a bluff. How'd you guess that?  I had to get rid of Norbert. That seemed the only way. I had to do something desperate. So quietly, without anyone knowing, not even you, my dear, I made friends with Dr. Feldman and his friend Mr. Laker. If you'd left it to me, I'd have got rid of Norbert and with no assistance from Dr. Feldman, either. I shall not complain of that. The fact remains, Norbert is gone. The wedding is safe. The stupidity of the throne is established. And I shall now be able to conduct this state without interference of any kind. Yes, my dear, I knew you'd be pleased. Well, we're late already. We must start once. So do please, Hare, and I'll wait for it. Now, never. Halt! When you and Anne are driving through the crowded streets especially when you're walking up the aisle, I want you to appear radiantly happy. We'll all be smiling brightly, my dear. Oh, Phipps. Yes, sir. That son-in-law of yours. Oh, him. Does he play checkers? I-I believe he does, sir. Good. We'll have a tour of him. Oh, no, no, no. So you mustn't do that. I want to teach you not to be such a snob. And Phipps. Yes, sir. Tell that to Major Bledded once it's important. Yes, sir. Very well said. I'm ready, Father. My darling child, wherever you go, whatever you do, I want you to know that I love you. Never mind all that. We have to go. We mustn't keep them waiting. It wouldn't look right. We must never do anything. As long as we live, it doesn't look right. You do blame me for this, don't you? Of course I blame you. But I'm going through with it. Every bit of it. And I never want to see you again, or mother, or anyone else in this hateful, cruel place. Oh, darling. Oh, darling. Don't let them take me. Kill them, do anything, but don't let them take me. Will you step this way, please? You take this woman for your lawful wife? You do. And you take this man for your lawful husband? You do. Do you promise to love, honor, or obey? You do. You wed her with this ring.  Let no man put a thunder as king, with the grace of God. As Lord Vicar of the Holy Church in this our country, I pronounce you man and wife. Blent, give me that order of exile. Father, what are you doing? I'm adding the word, and wife, to Frederick Granton's name. I should hope so. Yes, sir. You and Blent are the witnesses. Thank you, sir. You're sailing in a few moments on a steamship Kaleo. I thought it best for you to be married, respectively, before you left.  But, sir, does the Queen know about this? Not yet. Oh, Father, I can't forget the things I said. And neither can I. But the memory of her will give me many laughs during the long winter evenings. Now, Blent will take you to the boat. But, sir, I'd like to say something really. I know, but don't say it. You'd only stem her. Goodbye, my darling. I'll send you the marriage license to Panama. But what are you going to say to Mother and Prince William and all the rest? I'll be very firm. I'll let them know that I am the king. Now, Granton, take her away. Take her. She's messing up all my meddles. Goodbye, darling. Goodbye. Goodbye. Take off that bridal veil. Put on a heavy overcoat. So will it, Blent. Take this hat. Oh, it gives me a headache. Would you want to be kind to the cathedral now, sir? Will you? Yes, I'll be going to the cathedral now. But I will be back shortly. And you have that checkerboard ready.


Hi, my name is Tom Randolph. I'm the Director of the Livestock and Fish CRP, the CGAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish. It's a program that's been working now for five years, trying to pull together all the different components of research across the CGAR related to Livestock and Fish, mainly with a focus on value chain development, for making inclusive value chains that will produce more animal source food for the poor. Obviously, gender has a big role in this, both in terms of livestock keepers and the people who work in animal source food value chains. Many of them are women. They benefit from it. They also don't benefit as much as they should. Also, in terms of the food that is produced, it's meant for improving nutrition, and it's women who play a critical role in mitigating and mediating that. For us, the issue of gender research has been high on our gender rights right from the beginning. And I think what has been very important for us was making a distinction early on between strategic gender research versus mainstreaming the research into all of our research agenda. And this has been a classic problem for the CGAR for years, whereas we know that gender is important. The challenge has been how do we translate that into research that really does improve the uptake and the benefits of the agricultural research that we do. So a lot of our work has been trying to identify what are those entry points for gender research. And I think we've made a lot of progress under livestock and fish in helping to define what those issues are and what may be the appropriate approaches. On one aspect, one side of it, we look at accommodative gender research that looks at more at what are the technologies that we're working on and how could they be adapted, how could they be modified and tweaked to make them more beneficial to women, more adapted to their needs versus being just generic and usually meant for men. That has been really a challenge because on one hand we have gender specialist who understand gender issues but don't understand the technologies. On the other hand, we have people doing the technology research who unfortunately don't really understand the gender implications. And so trying to build the bridge between those two has been one of our clear priorities. And the effort that we've made in now giving a real focus to that in developing a series of case studies of how that might look will be a critical output of the program and hopefully we'll really make the foundation for a new agenda on this gender research on technologies. The other aspect of our research on the transformative approach is more about how do we change the rules of the roles that women play in their societies and in the agricultural systems where they work. And in that respect again we've been facing a challenge in terms of okay we know there are issues but what's our role, what kind of research should we be doing on that and is it really our role to do that research. So the challenge there has been more how do we define that agenda so that we generate evidence about what that kind of research should do and can create in terms of benefits. Is it really our role? How do we define that? So that's the other challenge is really defining the boundaries of what our research should be on. So I think we've given certainly gender a high priority. The problem has been getting all the resources that we need to really do the full extent of the type of research we want to do. And we've been doing this in collaboration with other CRPs across the whole CG system. But I think we've made a first step in pulling together a base of evidence of different approaches and how they can be used and what they can produce. And it's really now into the next phase of CRP research where I think that will get refined, synthesized and we'll be able to do a whole new generation of gender research that really translates into more impact as to how do we use that information and make our technology smarter and gender inclusive.


Hi everybody, Joe for Jasper's casebreaks.com with a quick little pack break giving away the final 7 immaculate basketball spots. Immaculate basketball first off the line. But first let's do the break. This is 2020-2021 Prism Salo Packs. Big thanks to this group here for getting in on it and there are the teams right here. Let's roll it, let's randomize it. 3 and a 4, 7 times for names and teams. This is just for the break. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 the final time. 3 and a 4, 7 times for the teams. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 the final time. Yeah, I'd rather have people buy spots straight up. But people are seduced by these fillers here because you can win a spot for a fraction of the price. That's worth the risk. Big thanks everybody here. No trade windows in these filler breaks. Let's just go. Sort by column B by team. A different dice roll for the giveaway part of it and coming up in a separate video will be the break itself. There's Zion on the front of this 2021 Prism Salo Pack. I don't know when we got our hands on these. Maybe while I was at the National this arrived at the shop. Alright, thanks everyone. Right here, here's the final printout, the list, hot off the presses. Yeah, that's true. The randomizers can be rough or they could be exceptional. We got a silver rookie Jalen Smith and a green Devonta Graham. Sean O with the sun's silver rookie and the exclusives, the red, white and blue, Deandre Hunter, Jeremy Grant and Tyler Hero. Alright, let's flip back here. Let's grab everybody's names. New dice and fresh list. Let's roll it and randomize it three and a five, eight times. So it's going to be top seven after eight will win spots. Good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eighth and final time after eight. It's going to be top seven. So from eight on down, my apologies. Sad times, but I appreciate you giving this a shot. But the top seven, they're very happy. This is part of the risk here. Top seven's happy. Daniel, Keith, Sean, Bennett, Bennett, Sean M and Daniel. Congrats to the top seven here. After eight, you're in that immaculate first off the line. We'll see you for that in a different video. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next one. Jasper


Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back, I'm Philip Magnus and once again I'm partaking in the pleasure in the vile, unholy thing that is the darkest dungeon. Yes, that's my pet name for the game, vile, unholy thing, yes, we have a thing in the game going on. I am this time going on an adventure with my patron team of characters level 3 and 2, actually Stanley is level 2 right now, but we are going to remedy that soon enough I hope. We have a varied selection of characters, Stanley our occultist, Plummon our veteran jester, Itu our highwayman and Grave who is a leper, lepers are very sick people who have a lot of issues but let's embark because if we don't, who will, I do dare say what is better than a nice walk in the world, nothing, absolutely nothing, I was actually quite looking forward. Oh look, we have two choices to pass to take, sorry speaking, quite difficult, let's see this first treasure, huge hole in trunk, show this hole make its trappings known, huh, someone starts to torch there, how lovely, how nice and of course a few deets, one can always use deets, no battle here but the next room shall be rich in battles, whoa that is quite a big map isn't it, never mind I am sure I will be able to swiftly take care of the evil inside it, don't you just love hunting for evil, I mean it's what I do all day long not only when I play but in real life as well, oh we've got cultists, we've got unpleasant ectoplasm creatures and other things as well, can we end them both, just one, that's fine that's fine, let's pull this unpleasant, oh resistant that's unpleasant, what can we do, well we can shoot all of them, this one if I recall correctly I need to kill, if I don't it will resurrect itself, better say than sorry right, I made none of them bleed for reasons that are not entirely known to me but hey I'm sure we will deal with the two cultist enchantresses swiftly and without much problems, maybe I should have healed a bit of stress, yeah I think I really should have but that's my mistake and I'm going to live with it or possibly die with it at some point or another, hmm because you have to switch our sponsor don't you, I hate it when that happens and now she's going to get me all stressed up, see 19 points that was absolutely unnecessary if only I had done things properly, hmm let's heal that stressed out leper, talking about stressed out I just remember there is one class that I really want to play with more of but that I really haven't and I need to remedy that, okay so if I need to explore all these rooms I should probably just go back to this one, just for the sake, oh sometimes a tree is just a tree you hear that lads, thanks Captain Obvious and as expected there's nothing here, a walk, well more of a waste of light and waste of time than a real walk, nothing constructive was done but hey I think I will survive it, I so far have some nice gems, rubies of citrine, a bit of ruby, hmm 1000 gold pieces for that sweet sweet red ruby and red rubies of course a bit of an unnecessary addition because all rubies if I am correct are red, am I speaking about rubies and their color well sometimes ruby by any other name is just ruby whatever that means, excellent shots it's a absolutely fantastic let's put the occultist back where he belongs oh my that hurt and that actually got all my teammates stressed out, time to take care of the stress of the occultist, hey that was nice, oh pleased, whoa five turns that is once carry bites, seriously you miss like that and you too Grave, huh you you just can't help any capable, you just can't find any capable help nowadays can you, I really just love Grave's weapons, please don't get some more bleed effect in, ouch, right, thank you, thank you, when the highway man can't kill the dog just let the rather, oh did I miss, yeah I didn't miss that, oh you didn't you are all so useless, no offense, no offense absolutely nothing, consider me surprised, now I think I will first go that way, why am I not surprised, malformed with misintent that sounds positively unpleasant, hey fantastic, well it's really didn't do all that much he just followed the light it might as well have been a horrible, deadly, ghastly thing you know, but sure let's let's pretend it's an incredibly well done task, why don't we, it's not like we need to make our characters feel better about themselves, let's shoot all of them, all of them at once, excellent, that's what I'm planning and doing, old boy, this one should make you bleed nicely, bleeding effects are always always good, let's make this big guy very vulnerable, excellent, he ain't dodging my shots or swings anytime soon, I take that back, can I take that back, I can't can I damn it, let's let's heal the jester, hey a crit of 9, of 10, right never did learn numbers properly, how's the stress, yep definitely need some music to make the leper feel better, ouch that is actually getting worse and worse, I didn't hey actually I did, good job me, ooh my phone is vibrating, whoever is missing me right now, doesn't matter, oh god that stress, it's getting to me, it's getting to me, oh matter, I'll take care of my valiant heroes as well as I possibly can, yes yes you do, but unfortunately I only have one left and I'm not about to use it on you, you have the most health points out of everyone here, that was a good strike mate, a very good strike, that was not the greatest thing, whoops I rushed into that one, oh no, well this is looking bad, this on the other hand was quite good, thank you, oh grave really, can you at least try, thank you well that sounded positively scary, I think some light is in order, oh a corpse a corpse, yes, oh well, well that was a useless waste of valuable resources, it does happen, it does happen and let me tell you it's going to be fine, it's going to be perfectly fine, no battle in the near future, that's good, please give me some food, well I may as well use my remaining torches now, it's a very unpleasant map for exploration isn't it, because I have so much to backtrack, and I don't have any more shovels, so if I meet one of those annoying giant plants I am positively screwed, well that is unpleasant, I explored and found absolutely nothing, as you might imagine, not great by any, any length, never mind though how have you guys been, have you had a good time, a good September, I know this is what the 29th, or at least I'm playing the game on the 29th, maybe this will come out on the 30th, or maybe it will come out in 10 years or in 50, who knows, I can never tell, anyway I had a fairly good September, took a few exams, finally managed to find my amazing power of will, yes will power does the one, and went back to doing this thing that I love, and what is this thing, it's making crappy videos on YouTube, thank you for noticing, it means a lot to me, oh a treasure chest lovely, it has a lock on it, well we shall use a skeleton key then, ah excellent, well we shall have to leave a hundred gold behind I'm afraid, I do not have any empty item slots, I wonder what else will have to be behind, oh well that's bad if I've ever seen anything bad, that's the one, uh oh, now things are about to get very very bad, aren't they, unnerved, unbalanced, opposed to a killing blow, I really should have used the firewood right let's get this party in the proper order, which of course means that they get practically two turns of just doing the nastiest things imaginable to me, I think I will have to heal my dear occultist first, he obviously needs it, and at last we have something resembling proper order, still it's not perfect by any scratch of the imagination, can I heal myself, yes I can, good, very good, this will give me a lot of resistance, please no more bleeding, more bleeding, six damage per turn, and that's hellish, that's abysmal, and of course this one is not going to get bleeding effects, that's fantastic actually, let's try and get the mutts out of the way, I need to use my last bandage now, I also need to start getting that stress below it, uh oh, whoa that's impressive, madness of willpower, either works, well huh, well at least he's, whoa, Plamon just died, I did not expect that, well sorry Plamon, but you died, it's thanks to be you I guess, oh come on, I need you to take a proper shot mate, now is the time to use the powers of darkness, evil and unpleasantness to decimate the enemy, despite the fact that the enemy is bleeding profusely, thank you, finally you are doing something, it's nice I'll admit, oh more bleeding effects, how lovely, how, oh geez, prion friend pride precipitates a dizzying fall, honestly I am just about dead and this doesn't do anything for me does it, so what do I throw out for the gold, yeah pretty, let's just use it anyway, no can't you, can't even use it, uh oh, anything good, nothing good at all, worst thing is I don't even have food, so when I use the firewood bad things will happen, I am seriously considering abandoning my quest and trying to save my my lads, my blokes, hey actually I can finish this, I think, oh no, ashes, more disappointment, that bleeding effect, my highwayman damn it, this has been absolutely horrible, I hate this, I really do, what do I throw out now, so pitiful, well let's finish this, oh look at this, ah what joy, he became selfish of course, no surprise here, and something awful happened to him as well, lovely, well I officially should have left a long time ago, yeah good job, let's see do we end the quest here, good it cost me far too much, well this has been positively traumatic, I got plenty of gold, I lost two of my best men, my most prized highwayman and my lovely little jester, and I get diseases and other crap, well this has been a positively traumatic adventure, oh and ratman has left on the quest of personal hardship and pain, well poor ratman, we will never see him again, not until next week at least, but hey at least I did level grave up a bit and stanley is now level three, can we get a new, do I actually have another highwayman, no I don't think I do, well that is positively dreadful, it appears I will need to find new people, new, oh why do I not have that, yeah I have no idea, I didn't have experience recruits on, so silly of me really, anyway I think that has been a rather exciting week, that's for sure, a lot of people died, a lot of people lost their hope and will to live, like myself mostly, I did just lose my most favorite characters, but hey it's all fine if it ends fine, but hey did I say but hey again, anyway anyway, thank you guys for watching, I hope you will tune in next time, thanks, bye!


Good afternoon and welcome to the Monday market update with me David Madden Today's date is Monday the 3rd of February 2020 and the time is just gone 1209 GMT and It's we've seen a bit of a rebound in European stock markets, but It is worth noting overnight We had major declines in mainland China stock markets in mainland China It was their first days trading since after the lunar New Year celebrations, so why we saw heavy selling in Europe and European and US markets and some Asian markets last week mainland China the epicenter of the coronavirus crisis Was remained closed. So there was enormous selling of pressure On mainland Chinese stocks overnight some of the some of the markets such as the Shanghai composite in the likes Up and roughly 8% lower The people's Bank of China the Chinese Centre Bank were fairly quick to try and stabilize the situation and they quickly announced a An equity injection as a way of kind of calming the markets down. It did a small bit Stocks in mainland China broadly speaking were only down about 7% rather than they kind of over 8 So though there was a bit of stability brought but nonetheless It was essentially all the kind of panic and fear of frustration that was built into the into the into the stocks While the market was closed so with that Because Chinese stocks even intervention from the people from the Chinese Central Bank Stocks were off the lows the session down heaviest heavy heavily nonetheless We have seen a bit of a rebound here in Europe Keep in mind we had a pretty negative finish to the European and the US trading session on Friday just gone So we're seeing a small bit of a rebound in European European stocks You know, it is worth noting that you know that the games you've made today are very small in comparison to the losses We backed off at the back end of last week. It could be a better profit take So it could be a bit of bargain hunting could be better short covering, but nonetheless If the size of the gains are relatively small take a person the losses incurred which suggests that there isn't a huge amount of bearer sentiment So what I'm gonna do now is I also just want one to kind of map out what the time for the video is I'll talk about a couple more topics of interest in the last day or so Then I look at the week ahead article and then I take a look at the major charts Also in the news today a lot of volatility in the British pound UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson Basically said said to to the European Union If you're going to you know, it's a it's essentially said you would consider walking away some discussions and trade talks if the European Union insists that the UK Stays in line and effectively follows EU rules after the transition period ends So traders on the back of that are fearful that opens up the possibility of a no-deal Brexit scenario after the transition period ends And with that we've seen a fairly size of sell-off in the British pound It's down nine tenths more percent against the US dollar Euro sterling is up near, you know over six tenths of what percent So we've seen a big move to the downside in the British pound on the back of that There has been some stability returned to the oil market oil to get massive ticket battering heavily recently Given that China is an arduous importer of the energy in the world OPEC plus have come out and said they would consider just consider Cutting production by a further eight five hundred thousand dollars per day as a way Well, you know, if this is a measure of just stabilizing the price and you know The the change in the day both WTI and Brent are particularly big in comparison to what's been recently So that's brought about some stability Let's take a look at the week ahead article Now the week ahead article can be found on our website CMTmarkers.com Under insights you'll find the news and awesome section like a scroll down here. You can see that Tonight Monday, we have alphabet. They're the parent company of Google. They will have four to four figures out tonight We've already had some of these figures in relation to In relation to China in relation. We're gonna have the services figures coming out on Wednesday We also have the final reading of many service reports coming from the UK Major Eurozone economies and the US. They'll be published on Wednesday because we've already had the the manufacturing ones released This morning the Reserve Bank of Australia. They will have a their interest rate decision Tomorrow and the early hours of tomorrow the anticipation is that no change you made to the industry cut to the interest rates rather On Tuesday, we have a fourth quarter figures out from For the fourth quarter figures from BP on Wednesday We have first half numbers from part of elements on Thursday. We have fourth quarter numbers from both Twitter and Uber And looking towards the back end of the week the all important US non-front panel support That's likely to be the most important economic update of the entire week And we also have an update from the jobs update from Canada So what I'm not going to do is take a quick look at some of the major Indices to begin with I'll go to the indices. I'll go to a couple of currency pairs and then finish it off with some quantities So last week on Friday major day of selling on the footsie fell to a seven week low We've seen a bit of a bounce back today The sentiment is clearly it's clearly bearish where you know While we hold below the red line here the Trinity movie average at 7364 it's likely we could see further losses I should that be the case we could look at targeting 7200 or basically this area here 7132 we'd really need to be getting back above the fifth movie average is blue line here in a 7466 or even up as far as the 7500 zone before if you then begin to begin to think that the recent hour trend has come to an end but Like I said for the time being that the sentiment continues to look fairly negative On Friday the tax fell to its lowest level in a month or so or maybe by three three and a half weeks So it's not as bad as the the footsie 100 Notice how it found decent of support from this is old here in around 12900 that area is active previously is consolidation and a bit of support if we continue to hold above that in the near term We could see the market potentially have a bit regain Some of the ground that was continued to regain some of the ground that was lost on a Friday But you know the trend for the last few weeks has clearly been it's very been negative So if you do have a size of break below 12900 it could take us back to this zone here down around 12600 and 60 If we do look to kind of rebound from from the from Friday's low We could look at it back towards 13200 or perhaps his blue line here 30. They fit the 50 moving average in a 13 274 now the US markets are in better shape than their European counterparts But the US markets for further portion of last week were fairly slow to actually feel the feel the pain Of the coronavirus crisis except for on Friday We had a major day of selling and you can see here at the Dow Jones Actually closed well below its 50 moving average and it hasn't done that for quite some time So you give me the indication of how bearish it is now it would it would appear that we're going to have a rebound Today but keep my not keep mine that the trend for the last couple weeks has been fairly bearish So if if the mark I think a more recent bearish trend those take those take hold Take hold we could be looking at retesting this area here at around 28,000. It's a big psychological number But if you do have a bit of rebound in the near term and we get back above the 50 moving average We could look head up towards 28,800 or potentially 20,000 930 It's a fairly similar position picture rather when we look at the s and p 500 Major sell-off of Friday. In fact, it pretty much almost bounced off its 50 moving average Just blue line along here. So even though the sentiment in the near term Has is is negative that there's no doubt about that if we could just have a hold above Friday's low We could hold above the 50 moving average. We could look heading back up towards 3,250 and if you go beyond that we could potentially look at targeting this zone 3,300 But if you know the market might look to kind of rally towards those areas before potentially turning lower again Should that be the case? If you take out Friday's low, it could take us back down towards 3,200 or down towards 3,180 I talked about how There's a major move to the downside in the British pound this morning So we can see here that broadly speaking since since christmas eve onwards, you know Broadly speaking move higher in the in the British pound versus the US dollar And then of course today we had a fairly sizable sell-off now We're pretty much on this blue line here at the 50 moving average So you can see that probably hold above this trend line here the lows in late december to the lows of of mid to Mid mid mid mid to late january if you could hold above that it's likely we continue to depress on higher from here but Keep in mind we had a fairly different decent slack. We're pretty much trading on the 50 moving average So this could be kind of a Very an important level to keep my eye on so if you could hold above the 50 moving average We could look at retesting the 132 zone and if you go beyond that We could be looking at testing the late december high in at one spot 3284 If for the downside we could need to move lower from here Support could be found from this area from this trend line here, which comes into play in around one spot 30 It's a big psychological number Excuse me so I could Make it it's likely to make it even more important because you got a couple of keep keep prices case key Price points coming together converging a psychological number and a trend line That could it's likely to make that that point More important shouldn't be to be tested So we could see support coming to play in around the 130 zone But if you gave a break below that we could be looking heavy back down towards the one spot 29 area I take a look at euro dollar now To be honest euro dollar has been fairly boring the last um The last few months Starting from late december going forward We can see here that's been in a downward trend lower low lower high lower low And what could be a lower high I think all things pan out so What so we've seen the lower low and lower high and we've seen a found decent support in this area here You know coincides with the big number of you know 110 But we're still below the 50 moving average the blue line and the red line He truly moving average so it seems to me that that the that the market is still in that kind of various trend We really need to get back above those moving averages the 50 and the 200 before we could begin to think The market's shaking off the recent negative trend. So if we do push on higher from here We could be looking at targeting one spot 1172 And a movie on that could take us up to the highs that we saw in late december But if the market remains in the kind of downward trend It could be a case of better presses on higher only to turn lower yet again And if you do have a fairly decent break below 110 that could bring 109 I into play or even sell to that down towards one spot 08 79 I take a look at what's going on on the gold market. So I talked about how A lot of money in the last few sessions in europe and the us Uh and indeed china overnight money's been flying out of stocks And it's been going into you know assets that are deemed to be safe haven safe heavens such as gold So you can see here At the gold and the overnight session hit its highest level since early january This here was on the back of the heightened us around tension. So giving an indication of how How negative sentiment is and how how much traders are in risk off mode if they're kind of driving the Driving up the gold market to levels Last seen around the time that it looked like You know the us and the iranian regime were potentially on the cost of war So the market's been pressing higher For that for the last month or so. It's in a fairly solid upward trend If you continue to press on higher from here We could be looking at targeting the psychology important 1600 daughters And if you go beyond that we could be looking at targeting the highs of january in around 1611 Finally the dip has been popular strategy with traders in the last few weeks and even deed The last few months. So if we do see any moves to the downside support We found this zone here down around 1562 And even if you go below that support could be found from this area here down around 1536 So it's a 1562 and 1536 potential areas of support for the gold market now I mentioned how How oil I said a pretty bad run of it recently You can see here and in early january This is how this is when the oil market spiked on the back of the us around tensions Then there was the de-escalation of tensions. So we saw the subsequent Moving the lower low the lower high and an aggressive lower low So we've been moving sharply lower on the oil market in the last in the last few sessions We could see a bit of stability coming into play here. We can see So not that major surprise. We see a bit of a turn around a bit of a bounce We saw some wires coming to the fold down on this level here in around 56 spot 71 You know, you can see that a coincides with a couple of areas of support going back some time If you can hold above If you can hold above the session lows, we could look at snapping back Intendance and ground we could look at heading back towards up towards 59 spot 60 or the important Psychological 60 bucks a barrel level, but you know, make no mistake the sentiment is clearly to the downside So if you take out the if you take out the lows The lows all today it was going to pave the way potentially for like the 54 to be tested That is on Brent oil. I'll take a look at WTI Similar scenario here. You've had the lower low the lower high and another lower low granted, you know this so far this this candle is showing A positive is showing a positive sign. So we are seeing you have seen a bit of a turn around once again the That metric Proof significant in the past you can see here in around 50 spot 36 You can hold above that level We might stand the chance of heading back up towards where this gap was created on the 23rd of january in around 54 dollars a barrel, maybe just north of it in there they're about But if you do we could so potentially bounce back up towards there, but keep in mind Sentiment for the last few weeks, I think quite negative So we could be looking head back towards the recent lows followed by potentially 50 dollars a barrel And if you break a lot 50 a good point the way down towards 49 48 so on and so forth Now, uh, I do also want to quick mention in relation to the non-farm payroll support We'll be holding a webinar for that event Um on friday, you can sign up for it on our website You can see here non-farm payroll friday the 7th 2020 and the time is 15 So apologies apologies. The time is 13 15 gmt So be quarter past one uk time the numbers come out at 13 30 gmt So please feel free to sign up for that And that is the end of this video. Uh, so thank you for listening. Have a good trading week and good luck


It is now time for member statements, and I recognize the member for Beaches East York. Thank you, Speaker. People in Beaches East York, as elsewhere in the province, are furious with the chaos that this government has unleashed with its refusal to listen to sick kids and other health experts and cap all classes at 15 or to prepare for the fall and a second wave of COVID-19. A couple of weeks ago, I told the Premier about grade four classes of 28 and 29 kids at a school in my riding. That school is now one of hundreds in the province dealing with COVID cases. Parents who have to pull their kids out of school because they have the sniffles have had to wait for over five hours for a test at Michael Garan Hospital. Sometimes it takes three days for test results, but that's four days that a parent isn't working because their child can't go back to school without a negative test result. Yesterday, with 700 new cases in Ontario, the government decided it was a fine time to open casinos. I've heard from frustrated public service workers in the riding whose workplaces are poorly vented and where there is little separation between desks that they are soon expected back at the office. Why, Speaker? Why risk lives? Why risk productivity and jobs and small businesses that can't afford another shutdown? Why risk the planned surgeries that are saving lives from other conditions? This isn't a plan. It's a public health disaster, Speaker, and the people of Ontario deserve so much better. Member Statements. The member for Stormont Dundas, South Glen Gary. Thank you, Speaker. I rise today to recognize Linda and Keith Robinson, sorry, members of the Morrisburg and District Lions Club and residents of my riding in Stormont Dundas in South Glen Gary. I wish to recognize these lines for their unselfish actions and community spirit. Linda has been delivering groceries ordered through a local food store, Laura's Value Mart in Morrisburg, since the beginning of the pandemic COVID-19. She has been delivering these orders to seniors, community members with disabilities, and shut-ins on behalf of her club. The deliveries have been to many places throughout the riding, including Chesterville, also Island, also Road, Williamsburg, and near Quad. Keith, her husband, spearheaded the refurbishment of a church mural that has stood for many years at the intersection of Highway 2 and Church Road Riverside Heights. The mural underwent a complex refurbishment to rejuvenate this community heirloom that now stands as a tribute to our heritage and a history for many years to come. These unselfish acts are a tribute to our strong community fabric and a backbone of our life in our strong and proud riding. Again, I want to thank Linda and Keith for their community spirit and concern. Thank you. Thank you very much. Members statements? The member for Niagara Center. Speaker, I rise today in support of Carl Doxtetter, a journalist in the Niagara region and host of One Dish, One Mic on 610CKTV. Carl is an award-winning journalist, and this year was the co-recipient of the 2020 CJF CBC Indigenous Journalism Fellowship. On September 2, Carl was reporting on the ongoing land dispute between members of Six Nations, the band council, and a development company over the Haldeman Tract. When confronted by the OPP, Carl presented them his card and identified himself as a journalist. He was subsequently arrested. The next day, Mohawk researcher and freelance journalist, Court Psych, was also arrested. Their arrest banned them from the site. Speaker, this is simply important. Carl's arrest speaks to two broader, unacceptable patterns. The first is the ongoing longstanding colonial pattern of criminalization of Indigenous people. The second is a more recent pattern of the police laying charges against journalists and researchers for covering land disputes between the government and Indigenous people. Mr. Doxtetter has constitutional right to cover matters that are of interest to the public. His arrest and subsequent banning from the site undermine his ability to do so. The police are not the deciders of who he is and is not a journalist. Speaker, we cannot be meaningfully working on reconciliation if we are using the same colonial tactics against Indigenous people. From lack of action on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls to the arrest of Indigenous journalists like Carl and Courtney, it's abundantly clear that we have a lot of work to do. Member for Oakville, North Burlington. Thank you, Speaker. Earlier this month, I met with Oakville's energy task force, which is planning a community-driven energy transformation for Oakville. The task force is led by community groups, the local municipalities, and prominent local businesses. One of their goals is to work towards carbon neutrality by reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent by 2041. They are committed to reducing energy use and building a green economy. Our government is also committed to reducing greenhouse gases, protecting the natural environment, and preserving our green belt. In August, our government launched Ontario's first-ever climate change impact assessment. The study will use the best science to understand how climate change will affect our communities, infrastructure, and the environment, while helping to strengthen the province's resilience to climate change. We are also protecting our water through the Great Lakes Local Action Fund, providing up to $50,000 to local projects to improve water quality. With this program and others, we are investing about $7.5 million to help our Great Lakes. In my community, our government has funded $75,000 for four rain gardens to divert wastewater from flooding into our lakes and streams. This project is driven by local volunteers and demonstrates the importance of thinking globally and acting locally. Thank you. Member Statements, the member for Oshawa. Thank you, Speaker. One of the last in-person events before the pandemic took hold was the grand opening of the IPS Action Centre in Oshawa. In the devastating wake of GM abandoning our community, the GM Uniform Action Centre and the IPS Action Centre were created to support GM workers and independent part supplier workers. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, their re-employment, resume, and retraining services can't help unemployed auto workers find work that isn't there. Speaker, before the pandemic, Oshawa and folks across Durham Region were already struggling in the aftermath of GM's decision. That meant that EI claims had already been started, and it means they will be running out in the next few weeks. Distraught auto workers were directed to continue to stay on EI while Serb began for others in April. Many workers have been unable to secure work because of the pandemic. Already for some and soon for others, they will have no Serb and they won't be able to support their families. I'm pushing the federal government to remember auto workers and families. What will be done to protect or assist those vulnerable workers? How will they pay rent or their mortgages? How will they buy groceries or pay their bills to keep the heat and the lights on? We're asking the feds to show leadership, but I am asking the province to show up for auto workers too. Auto workers need support, direct financial support or employment. I've stood here in this house reading petitions, letters and asking ministers to push for manufacturing in Oshawa of much needed N95 masks. Canada needs N95s and we have the workforce, the capacity, the need and the hope. I've been asking this government for a long time to have some faith in the future of Oshawa, but right now we need more than faith. We need your help. Thank you. Thank you very much. The member for Dawn Valley West. Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Just 11 days ago on September 18th, Ruth Bader Ginsburg died at the age of 87. She was, as the economist remarked in their obituary, the liberal conscience of America's Supreme Court. Now here in Canada, we're preoccupied with many things as we battle COVID-19. So what is it about the death of this woman that has made us made so many of us take notice? And why are so many of us mourning her passing? The easiest answer to that question is that anything that happens in the United States that is of political consequence has an impact on us here in Canada. But I believe that there's much more to it than that. Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought for peace, justice and equality literally her entire life. She never stopped pushing her nation and the world, using her intellect and the position she held to improve the lives of women and marginalize people. She heroically continued to do her job as a Supreme Court justice to the very end of her life. She knew full well that once she was no longer on that bench, the current President Donald Trump would work quickly to appoint a conservative judge whose mission it would be to undo much of the progress that has been won, particularly for women, over the years. And that is exactly what is happening. I was born in the 1950s. I know the work is not done, but I also know exactly how far we've come in recognizing the rights of women to play a more equal role in society, to have the right to choose what happens in our bodies. We have developed a social safety net that's not perfect, but it's so much better than it was 100 years ago. Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been part of that progress. She's been a force for caring and for good in the USA and in the world. All of us who care about the progress we have made miss her dearly already. We Canadians will have to watch now as a segment of the American population, led at the moment by Donald Trump, attempts to turn back the clock. Our job is to ensure that the same doesn't happen here. Thank you. Member Statements, the member for Willowdale. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. My community of Willowdale is home to one of the largest Korean festivals in Canada, attracting tens of thousands of people every year from the GTA to enjoy traditional Korean dancing, drumming, interactive games, singing competitions, and over 25 food and snack vendors in celebration of Korean Thanksgiving. I have very fond memories of the Korean Harvest Festival with my friends and family, Mr. Speaker, and I've had the pleasure of serving as the master of ceremonies a number of years. The Korean Harvest Festival has been a staple in Willowdale for Korean and non-Korean Canadians alike, and although we'll miss celebrating in person this year, I'm incredibly proud of the community for pulling together to take the festival online. Speaker Chuseok, or Korean Thanksgiving, is just days away, and as many Korean-Canadian families in Ontario and across Canada prepare to gather this week, I want to remind everybody to stay safe and exercise every precaution, but get out there and enjoy some Korean snacks like chapchae, tteokbokki, sundae. I've made myself entirely hungry right now, but Mr. Speaker, I hope you do get to enjoy those snacks. Happy Chuseok, everybody. The member for Windsor West. Thank you, Speaker. Today, I am pleased to recognize the Multicultural Council of Windsor Essex and Carousel of the Nations, which was just named top festival by Attractions Ontario and the Ontario's Choice Awards. The Multicultural Council was founded over 45 years ago, and since that time, Windsor has grown to become the fourth most diverse city in Canada. Over the years, the Council has expanded to meet the needs of the community with a wide variety of programs and resources, such as after-school programs, services for refugees and sponsors, health initiatives, language services, settlement services, and diversity training. Carousel of the Nations is the Multicultural Council's premier event. The annual showcase is the oldest cultural festival in all of Ontario. However, like most special events and attractions this summer, the Carousel of the Nations faced the unprecedented challenge of adapting to programming during the pandemic. In previous years, villages representing various nations would pop up across Windsor and Essex County where festival attendees could sample cultural dishes and watch vibrant performances. Instead, this year, we saw Carousel at Home, a two-day virtual event where organizers did a fantastic job of ensuring that the show did go on. The performances, cultural presentations over 20 national villages were displayed for our community to engage with and enjoy. I was proud to join them in the virtual Carousel of Nations, but I sure missed all the different food from the different villages. My sincere congratulations to the Multicultural Council of Windsor, Essex, and the Carousel of the Nations organizers, volunteers and participants on winning this prestigious award. Carousel of the Nations is also in the running for the top attraction of the year, and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be recognizing them once again when they've succeeded in winning that award too. Member Statements, the member for Ottawa, West, and Appian. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is my pleasure to rise this morning in the legislature to recognize a great citizen of the City of Ottawa. John Saccard, CEO of Canaxis, a supply chain management tech company, has been named Ottawa's 2020 CEO of the year. Presented by the Ottawa Business Journal and the Ottawa Board of Trade, the CEO of the year is awarded each year to an outstanding business leader in the greater Ottawa community. Mr. Saccard has been a champion in business, as Canaxis was recently named one of the Toronto Stock Exchange top 30 performers of the past three years, and also Canaxis has been a champion for our community. John and his wife Pina are proud parents of several boys. Their youngest son, Nicholas, is on the autism spectrum. Nicholas inspired John to create autism at work. Autism at work is an initiative designed to leverage the unique talents of individuals on the autism spectrum and provide meaningful, sustained employment to this underutilized talent pool. When he started, the goal was to have 1% of its workforce comprised of people on the autism spectrum. Today, nearly 2% of the company's workforce is on the spectrum. I think diversity is the path to innovation, John said. This is not a charity. These are phenomenal brains that just happen to be wired a little differently, and aren't we all, said John. Thank you to 2020 CEO of the year, John Saccard, for all you do to make Ottawa the wonderful community that it is. Congratulations. Member statements? The member for Niagara West. Thank you very much, Speaker. I rise today in the House to speak about a project that has united local residents in Niagara West, and that is the redevelopment of our local West Lincoln Memorial Hospital, a campaign that has brought together neighbors, businesses, municipalities, and frontline care providers in our community. An important step forward in building the new hospital, I was pleased to announce in July this election of architecture firms, B&H Architects, and McCallum Suther as the performance design and conformity team for the eagerly anticipated project. The selection of the two firms to prepare project documents and output specifications for the new hospital is a significant milestone. This is the furthest we have ever come to seeing shovels in the ground, and I know we will. Features of the new hospital include a 24-hour emergency department, maternal and newborn services, day surgical services, and advanced diagnostics, including X-ray, mammography, ultrasound, and a CT scanner. As I continue to work closely with provincial and municipal partners and Hamilton Health Sciences on this key project, I want to thank the Premier, as well as Christine Elliott, the Minister of Health for her important support, as well as our local frontline care providers and the passionate volunteers involved with the Save and Rebuild campaign. Together, we will build the new hospital that West Niagara deserves. Thank you. That concludes our member's statements for this morning.
