Pm mackenzie king:
This continent.

Belongs to the white races.

The peace of the world.

Would perhaps.

Be best promoted by
an understanding.

Between the peoples of
different continents.

As to the parts of the world.

To which their
several populations,

Should be confined.

That the white race.

Must preserve this country.

For their children.

That canada.

Should remain a
white man's country.

Is believed to be
not only desirable.

For economic and social reasons,

But highly necessary.

On political and
national grounds.

And every canadian,

From the humble day labourer.

To the baron of industry.

Should see it as
their patriotic duty.

To uphold these values.

This has been the prime
minister of canada,

The right honourable
w.L. Mackenzie king.

(dramatic drum music)

Did you fire another cook?

It seems.

Our good prime minister.

Has been advised
against meats by his

I'm attempting to see.

If I can't acquire a

Before he comes.

Prime minister king
is coming here?

To our house?

He'll be joining
us for breakfast.

Tomorrow morning.

Make sure to put on
your better suit.

This is incredible!

If king likes our ideas.
On the expansion,

Then we can cut
through the red tape.

And break ground
in under a year.

Only two things. Are required
of you tomorrow, franklin.

To sit,

And to say nothing.

And as exasperating a man.

As our prime minister is,

My company's future
is tied to his favour.

I don't need a suit and tie.

To stay out of your way.

King has a special appreciation.

For family.

So you will sit,

In your better suit,

And say nothing.

And who knows,

You may well learn
a thing or two.
