Dragon's Den's Kevin O'Leary in Studio Q

http://www.cbc.ca/Q
This could very well be Kevin's most tender moments ever recorded, as he reflects back on his beginnings as an environmental studies major, and his views on how the arts are pure chaos.

I hope Kevin doesn't take this PERSONAL, but I think he's a right wing, pussy boy, nutjob.

He has a wonderful vision for "some" people, but it's unrealistic for the majority of us, as we can not ALL be self-employed and rich. Few have to lead, and many have to follow. There's only enough money in the world to support the lifestyle of all the "Kevin's" out there, the rest of us are going to have to ignore his philosophy and do with a little less "freedom". I've spent my whole life working with rich, miserable clients - they can keep it.

@nsvendsen Dude, it's nobody's fault that you work at a minimum wage job. Why don't you get an education, start your own business, work hard, and maybe someday you'll be as rich as Kevin and stop being a whiny hippie. Good luck! :)

if you really applaud capitalists so much you must be very proud of drug dealers because they are the true capitalists of today!!!

go capitalists!!! fcuking everyone over for a buck!!!

[nsvendsen]

kevin o'leary isn't free and he's a fool to think he is!!! everything he was saying is so chained to the idea that he is free as long as he is rich (which i can agree that he has opened opportunity for him to not have to work as much) but the fact is that he is forever going to be a slave to the dollar and that's not freedom to me!!!

i would love to hear him explain happiness without using any form of money in his description!!!

sad man

Talk about freedom when people around you fall ill or if you live a dull life driven by the false security of money, realising that the things which you have are simply materialistic garbage that do nothing for you as a person in the long term. I have no knowledge of Canadian/US television or popular celebrities, so this is my first encounter with Kevin O'Leary; I'm fairly sure I wouldn't agree with most of his ideologies.

Kevin reminds me of a quote: If you are not a socialist at 20, you have no heart. If you are not a capitalist at 40, you have no brain.

Love you Kevin!

The Don Cherry comment made me sit up and listen. The 'TV persona' that they both rely on is the same: 'The Bully'. Notice how KO'L uses put downs frequently with his co-host, then compare this to Cherry when he keeps his co-host bottled-up. Cherry even pushes McLean's hand back to the other half of the desk if it wanders in front of his 'space'. But he's right, KO'L that is, when he says it makes viewers watch. It's compelling, but not truthful.

@CamHawesMusic011 On the one hand, O'Leary says, "Money is freedom" and that he doesn't want money just for it's own sake... Well, then, how much money buys freedom, Kevin? Would he not be free with a few million? But he's chosen to pursue much more than this and wave his little "you-know-what" to the world, as a celebrity, meaning that he's not free to just go out to a café without threat of being harrassed. He's full of crap. I need to take a shower after listening to this slimeball.

money is a burden

We Canadians are winners and we`re humble about that...no need to show off or be smug about it.
