00:00:00.200 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is 3.27 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4th.
00:00:05.820 It is Trump Tariff Day. Got a cup of tea this afternoon.
00:00:09.820 I hope you're having a great day today.
00:00:12.240 And I don't normally do more than one video, and I'm only going to do this one real quick.
00:00:16.960 But we are watching the unraveling of Canada right now, in real time.
00:00:21.820 I never thought I'd see this coming, but it seems like Canada is coming apart at the seams.
00:00:26.180 It's hard to keep track of everything happening today. It's happening so fast.
00:00:30.000 But the whole country may be blowing apart right now.
00:00:34.400 Or maybe it isn't. So stay tuned for the final clip in this video, because this could be over before you know it.
00:00:40.480 So stay tuned for that.
00:00:41.760 So we're the big boy in the room, apparently, here in Canada.
00:00:44.960 Trudeau came out today and said, we're going to put tariffs on the United States of America.
00:00:49.160 Okay. Brian Lilly, with a tweet earlier today, here's his tweet.
00:00:54.640 Trump is basically saying, beatings will continue until morale improves.
00:00:58.340 And here's Trump, who put this tweet out today.
00:01:01.560 Please explain to Governor Trudeau of Canada that when he puts on a retaliatory tariff on the U.S.,
00:01:07.380 our reciprocal tariff will immediately increase by a like amount.
00:01:11.860 So that's where we are right now.
00:01:13.760 Now, somebody who is being a big boy in the room right now, believe it or not,
00:01:18.040 it's not Pierre Paulyev.
00:01:19.220 It's Maxime Bernier, because this is absolutely true what he's saying here, folks.
00:01:25.100 Don't be fooled by Paulyev, Trudeau, and Carney.
00:01:28.120 The counter tariffs they impose are not paid by Americans, but by us, Canadian consumers.
00:01:35.440 What they brag about doing is taxing us more and weakening our economy even more.
00:01:41.040 It's pathetic.
00:01:42.120 He's absolutely right when he says that, folks.
00:01:45.000 If we put a tariff on an incoming good, it's a 25% tax on things you buy.
00:01:51.780 Now, we are the big boy in the room.
00:01:54.280 We're the ones who are acting like grown-ups.
00:01:56.480 Here is Justin Trudeau earlier today.
00:01:58.980 I cannot believe he actually said this.
00:02:01.280 We're going to choose to not go on vacation in Florida or Old Orchard Beach.
00:02:09.140 We're going to choose to not go on vacation in Florida or Old Orchard Beach or wherever.
00:02:15.880 We're going to choose to try to buy Canadian products and forego bourbon and other classic American products.
00:02:23.300 And, yeah, we're probably going to keep booing the American anthem.
00:02:27.660 Now, the good thing about this is we're only five days away from Justin Trudeau being gone for good.
00:02:34.420 Or are we?
00:02:35.620 When is it going to be your last official day as prime minister?
00:02:39.760 That will be up to a conversation between the new leader and myself to figure out how long a transition is needed.
00:02:48.360 It should happen reasonably quickly, but there's a lot of things to do in a transition like this, particularly at this complicated time in the world.
00:02:57.940 So he may be hanging around longer than we think.
00:03:01.140 Now, Jagmeet Singh had to get in on this today.
00:03:04.000 I've been saying we're having an election October of 2026 because the Emergency Act will be in place because of these tariffs.
00:03:13.920 And Jagmeet Singh will not vote down this government.
00:03:17.120 I've been saying that for months.
00:03:19.340 Here is Jagmeet Singh earlier today.
00:03:21.320 He is the biggest piece of in Canadian political history.
00:03:25.520 You want to vote down the government at your earliest opportunity.
00:03:30.740 Do you still stand by that statement?
00:03:32.680 And do you think now is the time for an election?
00:03:35.140 Now is the time to put workers first.
00:03:37.900 We need supports of workers first, put in place working an election afterwards.
00:03:43.200 So Singh will not vote down the government and he has the gall to release this letter today to recall parliament.
00:03:51.300 This is something that should have been done months ago.
00:03:54.000 This piece of shit, as I said.
00:03:56.400 He just doesn't get it.
00:03:58.600 We would not be in this situation if it wasn't for Jagmeet Singh.
00:04:02.240 Don't forget about that.
00:04:03.420 Now meanwhile in Ontario, here's video of them taking the booze off the shelves at the LCBO because Doug Ford has ordered this.
00:04:11.260 Now I wonder if Mr. Ford, the Premier of Ontario, is going to cancel the hockey games in Ontario.
00:04:16.560 Apparently there's one on Saturday night with the Senators.
00:04:20.020 We certainly can't have those nasty Americans bringing their product into the country. 1.00
00:04:24.240 Then again, Canadians are going to do everything they can not to buy American products.
00:04:28.580 But they can't miss their hockey game on Saturday night, I'm sure.
00:04:32.120 Meanwhile, we've got an Alberta lawyer here talking about going to the states to talk to the Trump administration about Alberta becoming the 51st state.
00:04:42.600 Check this out.
00:04:43.500 Well there's a group of Albertans that are working together right now to put together a delegation to go to Washington to talk to the Trump administration about Alberta petitioning for U.S. statehood.
00:04:52.220 It's quite evident that we're being governed by idiots in Ottawa who don't understand that we can't afford a trade war with our largest trading partner.
00:05:01.660 That's Alberta lawyer Jeffrey Rath.
00:05:04.160 Now I don't want Alberta to become the 51st state.
00:05:06.800 I'd like us to become a separate country. 0.61
00:05:09.320 But at least it's a good start.
00:05:10.820 Now could this whole thing be over before it even starts?
00:05:13.940 Like tomorrow?
00:05:15.220 Here's U.S. Commerce Secretary Lutnik on TV today.
00:05:19.120 Now, both the Mexicans and the Canadians were on the phone with me all day today trying to show that they'll do better.
00:05:25.980 And the president's listening because you know he's very, very fair and very reasonable.
00:05:30.360 So I think he's going to work something out with them.
00:05:32.600 It's not going to be a pause.
00:05:34.100 None of that pause stuff.
00:05:35.460 But I think he's going to figure out you do more and I'll meet you in the middle some way.
00:05:40.120 And we're going to probably be announcing that tomorrow.
00:05:42.260 So somewhere in the middle will likely be the outcome.
00:05:45.240 The president moving with the Canadians and Mexicans, but not all the way.
00:05:49.440 It's kind of cryptic what he says, but this thing could be over sooner before later.
00:05:53.960 Let's hope that happens.
00:05:55.180 Now, the final thing I want to leave you with.
00:05:57.180 I'm going to keep saying this until people understand it.
00:06:00.160 We're in this situation because of Justin Trudeau and the liberals and Jagmeet Singh.
00:06:05.320 They're to blame for our current situation.
00:06:07.760 I did a video this morning.
00:06:09.100 I think this is exactly what they wanted because their poll numbers continue to go up.
00:06:13.600 Justin Trudeau is not the savior of the country.
00:06:16.100 He put us in this predicament and the liberal party is to blame.
00:06:20.020 And that includes the next prime minister of this country, Mark Carney.
00:06:24.000 Don't forget it.
00:06:25.160 Thanks for watching the video.
00:06:26.420 Please share it if you can.
