Shaz walks down to the center of the stage as A$AP Rocky's song "M's" plays in the background. The crowd cheers as he calmly sits in a cushioned seat beside the moderator Freeus who timidly prepares for hosting her first candidate forum.
Before we get this interview started, I heard it was your birthday today (May 17th) how old are you now?
I’m 20 years old, entering what I would like to think of as my “serious 20s”
Only 20 years old? Are you even eligible to run for this office?
Actually, one becomes eligible for any elected office in Canada at 18
Wow that’s rather young. So “serious 20s” huh? While running for office seems like one serious step in your life, are there other reasons you’ve titled this time of your life in such a way?
There are a number of childish habits I plan to give up, e.g. skateboarding, vandalism, petty theft
Well entering into politics that isn’t the worst list of habits I’ve ever heard from a candidate or elected official. While you’re trying to give up these habits, are there any others you’re looking to acquire?
I suppose I’ll be trying to do more adulty things in a general sense; paying bills, flossing, worrying - I may even buy a flat iron.
The cheeky producer plays Mike Jones' "Flossin'" breaking up the tension of a rather stale and awkward exchange between the two, their similarly straight-forward personalities not making for great prime-time TV banter.
An audience member, offended by the candidate's remarks yells Canadian stereotypes ranging from Drake to Moose, Mooses, Meese...
Don’t you think you’re kind of stereotyping adulthood with these goals? Do we really want an elected official who sees those over 20 as just robots who pay bills and use flat irons?
I think we need elected officials who will take a realistic view of the world, including the adult world.
