WINNIPEG, Canada — Former President Barack Obama said Monday these are "challenging times" but he remains hopeful because of the next generation of leaders that he aims to guide.

Touching on his "third act," the 44th president spoke of programs that have become a central pillar of his Obama Foundation and its $500 million presidential center project in Chicago.

He told a packed arena at Bell MTS Place how he plans to create a "university for social change" that will serve as a hub for young people in the U.S. and around the world who are skeptical of the "old institutions."

"If we train them — if we give them skills, support, financing, media training, spotlights, then they're the ones that are going to carry forward the solutions that we so desperately need," Obama said.

He then amplified a vision he shared in Japan last year in which the new global class of future leaders are molded in his or his wife Michelle Obama's image.

"If we could form a network of those young leaders, not just in the United States, but around the world, then we got something," he said, adding, "if we can train a million Baracks and Michelles who are running around thinking they can change the world" hope is achievable.

Loud applause ensued.

Obama also spoke about his two terms as president and his relationship with Canada and its leaders during hour-long-plus discussion with moderator Michael Burns, the former CEO of the Invictus Games.

He didn't talk directly about his successor in the White House, President Trump, or the 2020 election, but he did take a jab at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., provided a clue about how soon he might complete his first book since leaving office, and shared his admiration of Joe Biden, who was his vice president and is now looking at a bid for president.

Obama will continue his tour through Canada on Tuesday, with speaking events in Vancouver and Calgary.

This man is bat shit crazy jajajaja. I’ve been an insurance broker for 21 years, Obama destroyed healthcare and medicine for all—it’s always been a radical plan, to control and exterminate the masses.

WINNIPEG, Canada — Former President Barack Obama took a jab at his old GOP rival, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Ky., on Monday.

About midway through an hour-long discussion at Bell MTS Place, Obama spoke about fulfilling "democracy's promise" and fixing the problems that have arisen from industrialization, climate change, and other issues in a globalized world.

The 44th president argued that average people, not politicians, will lead the pack, and cited McConnell as the centerpiece of his hypothetical U.S. example.

"If citizens participate, then that's how change happens. If they do not, then this isn't going to be solved because suddenly — to take a U.S. example, Mitch McConnell suddenly comes to his senses and says, 'You know what, I feel bad about not cooperating with Barack because actually he was pretty reasonable,'" he said to laughs.

"'The Affordable Care Act wasn't a particularly radical proposition. It was just providing people healthcare using the existing market-based system,'" Obama added, continuing the mock McConnell revelation.

Obama finished the anecdote casting doubt on McConnell ever having a change of heart about his signature healthcare plan.

"I don't think a light bulb is suddenly going to flash," Obama said, before reasserting that real change will only take place if citizens demand it.

McConnell suggested as recently as last October that the GOP might revisit repealing Obamacare after the midterm elections, a move that would now prove even more difficult with the House in control of the Democratic Party.

Why was Nadler and Weiner so hot a heavy pushing a tunnel and rail lines in NY….2005, when they were t need.. There’s a lot of monkey business going on with him. $9 Billion of funny money to duplicate a tunnel, structures and rail!

PUBLISHED IN THE JUNE 2005 JUNIPER BERRY. “Nadler's Great Fall”. ROBERT F. HOLDEN

“Under fierce opposition from residents of Queens and Brooklyn that included protests, rally's, letters, editorials, and even an attack billboard, it appears that the Cross Harbor Project is all but dead and soon to be buried. As most Juniper Park Civic Association members know, Manhattan Congressman Jerrold Nadler has been promoting a plan for a Cross Harbor Rail Freight Tunnel connecting Brooklyn to New Jersey. The tunnel project also calls for the construction 143-acre intermodal (truck to train) facility in Maspeth. This proposed facility would include a massive 20-story building, with a 46 acre footprint, that would be used to load and unload trains. The facility could potentially bring up to 16,000 additional trucks a day into our area…

Congressman Jerrold Nadler did not take no for an answer. He immediately started visiting several daily and local newspapers……They just spouted the Nadler mantra that the tunnel would reduce truck traffic significantly in NYC. A claim that is not even supported in the Draft Environmental Impact Study (DEIS), which was funded with $21 million of taxpayer money secured by Nadler.

WHY WE CAN'T COUNT ON CONGRESSMAN WEINER: As if the neighborhood wasn't facing a more daunting challenge of fighting the rhetoric, lies and misinformation spread by tunnel advocates and a misguided press, we didn't even have the support of our own Congressman. Rep. Anthony Weiner, who just happens to be running for Mayor, is supporting the Cross Harbor project…

WHY THE CROSS HARBOR TUNNEL IS UNNECESSARY: A continuous argument of Congressmen Nadler and Weiner and lobbyist namely Marnie MacGregor (Move NY/NJ) is that the New York region is uncommonly dependent on trucking. The fact it is not radically out of line with the national average – trucking transports 81% of the tons of freight in the New York metro area versus 78% nationwide. Trucking is the main freight mode in NYC, as it is all over. Rail does play a minor role – less than 2% in New York versus 16% nationwide, but that's because water transport looms so large in NYC.

The big difference between the NYC area and the rest of the country is not rail versus trucking, but rail versus water. The New York Metro region, with islands, peninsulas and inlets, is wonderfully suited for water transport and very poorly suited for rail. Water transportation has thrived like practically nowhere else in the United States. Waterways are natural obstacles to rail thus making rail connections very expensive to build……

With that said, today there are still adequate rail routes into NYC without building a $9 billion Cross Harbor tunnel between New Jersey and Brooklyn. That money would be better spent on improving existing railroad infrastructure to increase capacity and productivity. The 143-acre (truck/train depot) facility in Maspeth would displace hundreds of existing businesses and cause massive traffic jams and pollution in an already heavily congested area (where the LIE meets the BQE). Nadler says that this problem could be mitigated by adding entrance and exit ramps to the Long Island Expressway. Even if this were possible, can the the LIE absorb thousands of trucks additional trucks a day? And what about when the LIE is congested,

What Nadler fails to realize in his quest for the tunnel is that these types of intermodal facilities already exist in New Jersey and Pennsylvania away from densely populated urban areas. Nadler and cronies also overlook 50 years of investment in warehousing and logistics centers in central and northern New Jersey out of which trucks daily distribute goods throughout the NY/NJ/CT region….Why should they build expensive new duplicative facilities on very pricey New York City land? They simply won't do it.

NYC IS ALREADY LINKED TO NATIONAL RAIL NETWORK: The entire premise that is put forth by Nadler that this tunnel would "connect NYC to the national rail network" is utterly absurd. NYC is already connected to the national rail network and quite well I might add. Lines run into the city for the north from New England and down both the west and east sides of the Hudson….
