00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 418 AM, Wednesday, April the 22nd. I hope you're
00:00:08.460 having a great start to Wednesday. I tip the big blue mug of coffee to you today. I appreciate
00:00:13.820 you being here. And I want to apologize. I did not put a video up yesterday. I woke up
00:00:19.480 incredibly mentally tired after a late night on Monday night. So I apologize for that. But
00:00:24.900 I was thinking about today's video yesterday. Mark Carney has created a committee of 24,
00:00:32.460 I believe it is, who can talk for him. You see, Mark Carney likes to talk. He did the video on
00:00:37.680 the weekend, which I liken to a presidential weekly address that they used to do on national
00:00:42.920 public radio. But Mark Carney likes to talk. And why does he talk so much? And why does he go over
00:00:48.560 the same thing over and over and over again? Because this covers up for the fact that he
00:00:53.240 accomplishes very little. And the speech he did on the weekend in that YouTube video, it was just a
00:00:59.520 rehash of the same old rhetoric from the last year or so on how we're going to build Canada strong
00:01:04.900 and we're doing great things and we can be our own best customer and blah, blah, blah, same thing.
00:01:10.520 And I did a video on it and here it is right here. Are you part of the Kearney cult? Well,
00:01:16.120 you might be if you're mesmerized by all of this talking. And it's weird because I got up this
00:01:22.860 morning, and I was thinking of calling this video, All Talk and No Action. And then I see a video,
00:01:27.860 Pierre Polyev in a media scrum in the House of Commons, and this is what he talked about. I'm
00:01:31.920 going to play a couple of clips, short ones for you in just a moment. And I'm going to try to keep
00:01:35.980 Carney's voice out of this. You might see them, but you don't have to hear them. I'm hoping I can
00:01:40.820 do that and refrain from having Carney in this video at all. So what am I talking about here?
00:01:45.200 Well, I'm talking about this right here. And this is the latest thing that Mark Carney has created.
00:01:51.280 Here it is right here. Prime Minister Carney announces new advisory committee on Canada-U.S.
00:01:58.340 economic relations. The committee will serve as a forum to talk for expertise and strategy on all
00:02:04.780 aspects of the Canada-U.S. economic relationship. Here are the people who are on this committee,
00:02:09.640 including Aaron O'Toole article right here in the National Post. I am team Canada in my blood,
00:02:15.160 says Aaron O'Toole. And what is this about? Why is he creating this committee to talk for him?
00:02:19.920 because they can talk on his behalf to provide a smokescreen coverage when Kuzma fails.
00:02:26.720 Look, I'm doing something while accomplishing absolutely nothing.
00:02:31.960 Because Kuzma, the trade relationship between Canada, Mexico, and the United States,
00:02:36.700 experts are saying it's going down in flames. It's up for negotiations.
00:02:40.840 Now, what you need to remember, folks, is you think that Mark Carney is really new.
00:02:44.520 But in six days, it's the anniversary of him being elected prime minister on April 28th.
00:02:50.660 He's been around since last January 16th, and he's accomplished absolutely nothing.
00:02:57.740 Here's the announcement of this on APTN.
00:03:01.320 To Ottawa now, where Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a new committee
00:03:05.320 he hopes will provide input on Canada-U.S. economic relations
00:03:09.660 as Canada attempts to rebuild its trade relationship with the United States.
00:03:14.520 This committee of talking heads has another purpose as well.
00:03:18.100 It shows the people who support Carney and the managed decline of Canada
00:03:22.240 that he's accomplishing something by doing nothing at all.
00:03:25.840 You know the folks we're talking about here.
00:03:27.640 So I get up this morning and I see these clips of Pierre Polyev
00:03:31.900 and the House of Commons.
00:03:33.000 It's like we're on the same wavelength.
00:03:34.900 He's asked about O'Toole being on this committee,
00:03:37.860 but there's more to this clip, so watch it to the end.
00:03:41.080 What do you think of O'Toole being on this council?
00:03:43.640 It's great.
00:03:44.640 At the end of the day, though, what we need is action.
00:03:47.580 Mark Carney was elected on the singular promise that he would negotiate a win with the Americans.
00:03:55.880 And what has Mark Carney done, really, in a year on this?
00:04:00.580 He hasn't held negotiations in five months.
00:04:03.440 The Mexicans are going to be at the table formally with the Americans any day.
00:04:07.020 The only talks that Mark Carney is doing are YouTube videos where he's comparing himself 0.98
00:04:12.480 to Sir Isaac Brock and holding up little figurines in his office. So he told all of you the other day
00:04:18.320 that with his new majority, he was going to stop showboating. And then a few days later,
00:04:22.360 he put out a showboating YouTube video, right? Showboating on YouTube, doing a lot of talking
00:04:27.640 while accomplishing nothing at all. And here's something you may have noticed. Think about this.
00:04:32.180 Have you noticed that Mark Carney and the liberals, everything they do is motivated by
00:04:37.940 Donald Trump. Everything. Is anything they do motivated by the troubles you're having with
00:04:44.200 groceries or just generally the cost of living? No. And that should be their singular focus.
00:04:50.440 The other thing I've noticed, and you may have noticed as well, is Donald Trump hasn't said
00:04:55.640 much about Canada in months. But it's like Trump is Carney's puppet master and he controls
00:05:01.880 everything he says and does to your detriment. And we know why he does that, because it keeps
00:05:08.280 those poll numbers high. Here's Polyev yesterday talking about the one thing that Mark Carney
00:05:14.920 should have done. We're a year into this, he was elected on the single promise that he would
00:05:22.000 negotiate a win with the U.S. And since that time, he's been losing, losing, losing. Double the
00:05:28.780 tariffs on steel and aluminum, triple the tariffs on lumber, broadening of tariffs out to other
00:05:34.080 products that weren't formally covered. And he's done nothing to stop it other than to wave the
00:05:38.660 white flag. This committee that he's created to talk about trade talks with the United States
00:05:43.900 is nothing new. He's got a major projects office. It's right here in Calgary. They've spent millions
00:05:48.480 of dollars since it was created last year and nothing really has been done. Back in November,
00:05:55.060 this was announced on CBC. It's a major pillar of the new Liberal government's vision for the
00:06:00.220 country. Mark Carney has announced seven major infrastructure projects to be fast-tracked for
00:06:04.900 approval in a multi-billion dollar energy and natural resource proposal that Ottawa hopes will
00:06:10.240 deliver a jolt to the tariff-hit Canadian economy. You can see what was in the top left-hand corner.
00:06:15.640 I put that in there five months ago. Have we heard anything about these things? Not at all. Lots of
00:06:20.960 talk, but no action at all. This is nothing new for Mark Carney, and it was quite evident back
00:06:27.880 five months ago that these projects, there was nothing new. And yet again today, instead of
00:06:34.620 getting things done, Mark Carney was standing up doing photo ops, announcing that he's going to
00:06:41.700 approve a bunch of projects that were already going to happen. One of them, the Cizan mime
00:06:49.000 in the east coast this mine there was a liberal minister dominic leblanc who said that his
00:06:57.120 government was going to make sure this project got underway within a year and that was back in
00:07:02.140 2017. Now today Mark Carney is re-announcing that same liberal promise. I've been thinking about
00:07:10.300 these projects lately but I haven't heard Mark Carney talking about it that much. You'd think
00:07:16.120 if they were successful, he would be. You'd think they'd be proud of it, but obviously nothing's
00:07:21.500 really happening. All talk and no action. He's done the same thing with housing. Instead of doing
00:07:27.620 something, you create an office, you talk about it, and then you just move along, much like this
00:07:33.080 committee he's created to talk about Canada-U.S. trade. It's all a smokescreen. How are we doing
00:07:39.480 lately? Here's Polyev from yesterday. I would also point out that he's done nothing here at home.
00:07:45.960 There's still no pipeline approved, no route, no builder, not a dollar of investment.
00:07:51.860 We don't know where the pipeline's going to start or end.
00:07:54.560 Two months ago, they were saying it was going to go to northern B.C.
00:07:57.000 This morning, they're telling the media that it might go to southern B.C.
00:07:59.780 This is a year into his prime ministership, after he claimed he was going to move at unprecedented speeds.
00:08:05.660 Where is the plan to get a pipeline built?
00:08:08.640 All the Trudeau-era anti-development laws, C-69, C-48, the industrial carbon, they're still there.
00:08:14.740 There's no plan to get a pipeline built.
00:08:16.800 Polly F. knows there's no plan to get a pipeline built. 0.99
00:08:20.100 I know there's no plan to get a pipeline built,
00:08:23.120 but Carney sure does love talking about this stuff.
00:08:25.980 All talk and no action, Mark Carney.
00:08:28.460 Now, here's something interesting.
00:08:30.020 The other night, you can watch the live stream on this channel,
00:08:32.880 I sat down with Angela Tabak from the Alberta Women's Independent Network,
00:08:37.560 and we spoke with Lieutenant Colonel David Redman.
00:08:40.220 Now, Lieutenant Colonel Redmond was in the Canadian Forces for 27 years, but has been involved in a lot of things.
00:08:47.880 And he talks a lot about geopolitics.
00:08:50.020 And he said something the other night that was hard to believe.
00:08:56.340 Was it hyperbole?
00:08:58.680 I hope so.
00:09:00.680 But he said within the next couple of years, Canada will be in a depression or the world will be involved in World War III.
00:09:10.220 pray for the depression. But like I've said here many times, Canada's got to hit rock bottom
00:09:16.580 before things get better. And folks, it's coming fast. Kuzma is going to fail. Thank you very much
00:09:23.200 for watching. If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel,
