John Bolton - Carney Horrific #5 - 41,000 Lost Jobs

00:00:00.000 From Brian Lilly at the Toronto Sun, Mark Carney has 41,000 reasons to no longer ignore

00:00:17.200 U.S. trade talks. Does Mark Carney care about talking to Donald Trump now that 1,000 workers

00:00:23.020 have been given layoff notices at Algoma Steel? It was just shy of two weeks ago when the Prime

00:00:28.480 minister was attending the G20 meetings in South Africa and was asked when he had last spoken to

00:00:33.480 U.S. President Donald Trump. Given the terrorists facing Canadian industry and the state of trade

00:00:38.640 talks, it was a valid question, but one Carney met with open contempt. Who cares? I mean, it's a

00:00:44.980 detail. It's a detail, Carney said. I spoke to him. I'll speak to him again when it matters.

00:00:51.120 Just before Christmas, Algoma Steel has announced 1,000 layoffs, more than a third of its workforce.

00:00:57.500 Beyond Algoma Steel, we've seen General Motors cut the third shift at its Oshawa assembly plant.

00:01:02.660 As a result of the tariffs, Holsag Furniture in Lindsay, Ontario is laying off more than 130 people

00:01:09.280 and moving its operations stateside in March in response to the tariffs.

00:01:13.600 These stories are being repeated in communities big and small across the country.

00:01:18.060 As a result of the tariffs, in Ontario alone, it is estimated that 40,000 manufacturing jobs

00:01:23.980 have been lost this year due to tariff disruption. We need serious political leadership in Ottawa.

00:01:30.780 What we are getting is political gamesmanship. Carney clearly knows his fight with Trump excites

00:01:37.000 some voters, mostly older and retired Canadians who have no fear of being laid off. Voters over

00:01:42.680 55 years old are Carney's current power base, and they are part of the electorate most likely to be

00:01:47.980 concerned about Trump and tariffs. The longer he keeps the fight with Trump going, the better it

00:01:53.520 is for the Liberal Party. There are thousands of families dealing with layoffs or facing that

00:01:58.340 prospect. They need a Prime Minister who cares enough to speak up for them.
