canadian workers that are being hurt because it is more profitable for their companies to shut down in ontario and moved to upstate new york. we have had our canadian members talk about that all the time. the decrease of wages in the u.s. is pulling down the canadian standard of living too. we owe it to all of north america to figure out this trade problem. host: a large majority of their members deal with health care and elderly. 10,000 baby boomers retire every day. what does this mean for the seiu and this industry overall? guest: how do we finance long-term care? the affordable care act still with the population under 65 in a very comprehensive way. we now need to look at how do we care for the aging population in his country? 3 million new health care providers are being created in he next 3-6 years. those jobs are poverty jobs. we need to make them living wage jobs that people can stare step back into the middle class in order to care for the aging opulation. host: back to the minimum wage issue. this tweet -- if it is raised, will they have to raise everyone's pay equally? guest: anybod

when the invitations are ontario out there is a line that says let us know if you have dietary concernsate home so the first lady wants to be gracious and having people coming into their home and be comfortable. so in many cases we go out of the way to make sure all of the alternative menus were offered. american wines from california and washington state -- the reasoning behind that? the whitehouse is all about highlighting american food, wine and entertaining. so even though france has a story history of wine, we are pretty good at it. i was looking at the wines. it would appear we have a couple really, really good ones. again, i think they are in the french style but by american producers. i am looking at the sparkling wine. it would appear that it is montechello in virginia which is an interesting tie between jefferson and the french. i think they are going to be excellent wines. they are not well known but they are exceptional. >> and the logistics that go into this. this isn't a large whitehouse kitchen and 350 guest. >> it is smaller than many people's home kitchens. it is sort o

the catskills, on up to quebec, ontario, nova scotia and the winter of 2014 doesn't stop. >> we have seen so much and heard so much over the last two days about this, chad. i did hear a word i had never heard before. that word, thunder sleet out of the mouth of wolf blitzer. when he said it it sounded very very menacing. what is thunder sleet? >> it is thunder and sleet happening at the same time. it happened at the university of richmond and southeast virginia today. sleet was coming down so hard that it actually -- think about this. you're wearing just leather shoes. you rub your feet on the polyester carpet and touch the doorknob. that's a shock. that's what was happening there. the shock of the sheer of the sleet up there freezing, bouncing off each other, made static electricity, made a lightning bolt although it didn't go to the ground it went cloud to cloud, not cloud to ground. you hear the thunder. the sleet comes down. thunder sleet. sounds like a bad movie. >> sounds menacing even when you say it. i wish i understood the chemistry there but i now it's scary. >>> new york m

rob ford now mayor, his brother wants to be premiere of ontario.the city council seat open which they're already saying another ford will run in that seat. they really do believe they are born to lead the country. >> is he still popular? >> he is still popular. he's unclear whether he can get re-elected. his approval ratings are still in the 40s. he was elected with 47%. approval rating isn't exactly the same thing as voting intention. the question will be if he can keep his nose clean for the next little while. he does have this uncanny ability to connect with voters. he really will phone you back. if you phone rob ford, he will call you back. and that's i think a real message for politicians in general. is that people feel so silenced, so unheard that they are willing to overlook all this other stuff. >> you also talk in the book about a conversation between rob ford's wife and a confidante you heard a recording of. she denies is ever happened. >> the mayor's wife, who we don't know a lot about, and we're reluctant to report on her because they h

the central prong will be between lakes ontario and erie across the niagara river 35 as long after visiting niagara falls and crossing into canada. that's a central prong led by general bans a layer. across the same lawrence by general dearborn and here's the problem. all three of these men were a good decade past their prime. all three of them are cowards. all three of them are inept. there could have been three worst people to lead us. the three don't like or trust one another in the three of them conspired against one another hoping the others fail so they can seize control of everything. they are war with one another instead of the british. hall marches first from detroit and marches a grand army into canada. when he marches into canada he stops and makes camp and doesn't fire a shot. he spends a long time working on a grand speech. he gets up to a handful of canadians in the frontier and says people of canada i am here. surrender. it's like a bad william shatner on "star trek". it's written to kill us that no one does anything. in addition to the commanders here said the british have.
