151 00:06:48,149 --> 00:06:50,949 We're just gonna flood here or flood here or flood here. 152 00:06:50,949 --> 00:06:53,395 Like we've seen in, say, example, Toronto. 153 00:06:53,395 --> 00:06:54,275 Great example. 154 00:06:54,514 -->

158 00:07:01,875 --> 00:07:04,355 I left it because it is completely different. 159 00:07:04,435 --> 00:07:08,879 Just walking around businesses, how people interact with each other is completely 160 00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:09,439 different. 161 00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:10,480 And that's okay. 162 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,920 Like the minority?
