There's not a lot of evidence right now, and with regards to negotiations for any country or any jurisdiction, to have a tariff-free agreement with the United States, there's not much evidence that Canada can get a deal.

00:00:00.000 There's not a lot of evidence right now and with regards to negotiations for any country or any jurisdiction to have a tariff-free agreement.
00:00:17.780 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel Wednesday, July the 16th, 5.03 a.m. with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:24.280 I hope you're having an awesome day today. I certainly am.
00:00:28.260 I don't normally start my videos with a clip, but I just had to today.
00:00:32.580 Mark Carney addressing his media, and I say it's his media because they worship at the feet the man stands on, suggesting that, well, Canada really can't make a deal with the United States and we're going to have tariffs.
00:00:46.300 Here's an article right here from the Globe and Mail.
00:00:48.880 Carney changes messaging, says chances are low for a tariff-free trade deal with the United States.
00:00:54.060 Folks, you could have had things differently.
00:00:55.960 Now, people are just going to say, how would it have been any different with Pierre Polyev as the prime minister?
00:01:01.740 Well, I guess we're not going to know, are we?
00:01:04.600 You could have had things differently.
00:01:06.220 You could have voted differently on April 28th because this isn't the only way the wheels are falling off the Carney government.
00:01:12.460 There's others.
00:01:13.240 I'm going to go through a couple right now.
00:01:14.740 So, the plan out of this tariff situation is falling apart as we speak.
00:01:21.560 And Carney's only pivot will be something that plays to his base, and I'm going to get to that in just a moment.
00:01:26.880 And I'm going to give you the only solution from my point of view when it comes to Canada and the way out and the way to prosperity.
00:01:35.680 I'm going to give that to you today.
00:01:37.000 But Kate Harrison, she was on the CBC.
00:01:40.720 I'm going to let her lay this whole thing out for you.
00:01:43.440 She absolutely slays Carney and his government and the weak response he's had so far to tariffs from Donald Trump in the United States of America.
00:01:53.320 I'm getting very confused, Catherine, about where to put my elbows.
00:01:56.280 They're up and they're down, and if they keep moving that way, we're going to look like a bunch of chickens.
00:01:59.580 The Prime Minister has an expectation management problem.
00:02:03.680 You referenced it off the top.
00:02:05.500 He billed himself during the election as the guy that would get a good deal for Canada.
00:02:09.640 And the reality is that our tariffs are higher today than they were on Election Day.
00:02:13.820 We had the doubling of the steel and aluminum tariff.
00:02:16.080 We now have this August 1st threat.
00:02:18.200 So, we don't appear to be closer to a deal than we were on Election Day.
00:02:22.920 And that is a problem for the Prime Minister because he billed himself as the guy to get it done.
00:02:27.860 So, what can Canada be doing?
00:02:29.860 If tariffs are the reality and other countries have them as their reality, what are we doing to systemically make investment in Canada better?
00:02:38.460 So far, the proposal has been to expedite energy projects to, oh my goodness, two years.
00:02:43.500 While other jurisdictions are moving faster than that.
00:02:46.320 The U.S. is changing things like their corporate tax rate, or they're at least looking at systems to attract more business investment.
00:02:52.580 And that's totally absent the tariff conversation.
00:02:54.880 So, we seem to be very focused on, you know, how we might tax bourbon and ketchup a little bit more to hit back against the Americans and not addressing some of the big challenges that exist for Canada's economy to thrive.
00:03:07.040 Wow.
00:03:07.720 Is she ever good.
00:03:09.340 That was amazing.
00:03:10.100 We have more tariffs and they're higher than when he became Prime Minister.
00:03:14.400 The Prime Minister has an expectation management problem.
00:03:18.100 And then she says, we're focused on how we can tax bourbon and ketchup.
00:03:22.500 And I went, I seem to remember that.
00:03:24.480 Oh yeah, that was Trudeau's solution as well.
00:03:27.300 Remember this?
00:03:27.960 It was the fact that we put tariffs on bourbon and Harley-Davidson's and playing cards and Heinz ketchup and cherries and a number of other things.
00:03:38.040 Again, well done, Kate.
00:03:39.460 I mean, I almost forgot about that.
00:03:40.960 I did a video on Trudeau and the ketchup thing months ago.
00:03:44.880 Probably, was it last December?
00:03:47.380 It could have been.
00:03:49.060 He was still Prime Minister at that point.
00:03:50.800 What a joke.
00:03:51.300 This is the answer to everything from the Liberal Party and Mark Carney.
00:03:55.840 The people who voted for him love this.
00:03:57.620 This is getting back at the United States, going after bourbon and ketchup and playing cards, as Trudeau said in that clip.
00:04:04.620 But there's no solution here, folks.
00:04:07.440 The solution is coming up, but it's falling apart as well.
00:04:10.980 So stay tuned for that.
00:04:11.740 Here's Warren Kinsella, who wanted the Liberals to win.
00:04:15.580 Again, as I have queried in several opinion columns and social media posts, then what was the point of this whole exercise?
00:04:21.780 Well, the point was to get the Liberals re-elected, Warren.
00:04:24.420 You wanted it.
00:04:25.140 You got it.
00:04:25.840 And you did it through fear.
00:04:28.220 That's how they got elected.
00:04:30.080 Fear of the United States.
00:04:31.960 Hatred of Donald Trump and the United States at this point.
00:04:34.300 That's where we are in this country.
00:04:36.200 Now, the solution for Mark Carney, up until right now, up until this point, up until the last couple of days has been, become the greatest economy in the G7 because we're going to become an energy superpower.
00:04:49.720 Now, Ontario First Nations are bringing the federal and provincial governments to court, pushing back against new laws to fast track infrastructure projects.
00:05:00.860 Details of the constitutional challenge have not yet been made public, but indigenous communities have said the new laws infringe on their rights, including the duty to consult.
00:05:11.680 Ottawa recently passed Bill C5, allowing the federal government to bypass certain existing legislation for major projects.
00:05:20.360 So the solution to the tariff issue, which has now fallen apart, was to build things.
00:05:25.900 And now it doesn't look like that's going to happen either.
00:05:29.720 Kate Harrison talks about two years to expedite projects.
00:05:33.080 Other countries are doing it faster.
00:05:34.600 How long is C5 going to be held up in court?
00:05:37.640 I don't know.
00:05:38.780 These things, the wheels turn very slowly, folks.
00:05:41.340 And I think this plays right into his plans anyway.
00:05:44.340 He doesn't want to build oil pipelines.
00:05:45.980 And he's given the indigenous groups the veto. 0.83
00:05:48.820 He's given the provinces the veto.
00:05:50.760 He says we have to have a consensus to get these things done.
00:05:53.880 Meanwhile, he and the liberals get to decide what's in the best interest of the country.
00:05:59.480 Right?
00:06:00.420 Meanwhile, the Conservative Party, Polyev addressed this the other day.
00:06:04.100 They voted in favor of C5. 1.00
00:06:06.720 It was a piece of crap. 1.00
00:06:09.100 But it was better than nothing. 1.00
00:06:11.340 Well, Pierre, you're going to get nothing.
00:06:13.860 And what, if anything, you think Mr. Carney ought to be doing to forestall, excuse me,
00:06:18.600 the potential for protests or court challenges as this bill begins to be implemented?
00:06:24.020 Thank you very much, Stephanie.
00:06:25.340 Let me first say that C5 is far from a solution.
00:06:31.180 It's better than nothing, but not by much.
00:06:34.780 I've been after Pierre Polyev a little bit.
00:06:36.860 People say he needs to be kinder and gentler, but he needs to point out what's going on here.
00:06:40.760 I said yesterday he should have called Carney a liar, a liar, and not weasel words around 0.82
00:06:47.700 that, a liar about his conflicts of interest. 0.87
00:06:50.200 He should have asked him to resign.
00:06:51.640 I don't think he's suitable to be the Prime Minister of the country.
00:06:54.020 We've never had anything like this before.
00:06:55.600 He should be gone.
00:06:57.060 And he's not doing what he said he would do.
00:06:59.100 He should be gone.
00:06:59.820 Unfortunately, we can't get into another election here because nobody has any money and nobody
00:07:04.420 wants to go through that right now, particularly not in the middle of the summertime.
00:07:09.900 I'll put the video to that and a link to that video I did yesterday in the description so
00:07:14.160 you can watch it.
00:07:15.160 So what's the answer here?
00:07:16.740 Well, I've got an answer myself.
00:07:18.020 I'll give it to you at the end.
00:07:19.140 There's a pivot coming on here.
00:07:20.260 It already happened.
00:07:21.280 Carney knew the tariff deal was falling apart.
00:07:23.300 He knew this court challenge was coming.
00:07:24.760 I'm sure he's pivoting already and it plays right into the hands of the people who vote
00:07:29.020 liberal.
00:07:29.400 They love this because hate on Donald Trump, hate on the United States.
00:07:32.960 That's the whole plan of the Liberal Party right now.
00:07:35.640 You pivot to the EU.
00:07:37.280 Ursula von der Leyen, head of the EU, July 14th, a couple of days ago, prior to the tariff
00:07:41.400 story coming out, I think it was yesterday.
00:07:43.300 Good call with Mark Carney.
00:07:45.020 That's the Prime Minister of the country, by the way.
00:07:47.560 A stronger partnership.
00:07:48.920 That's our response to changing trade relationships, economic volatility and threats to our security
00:07:54.500 will keep working closely together as we deliver on a new partnership.
00:07:58.280 So instead of working out some kind of deal, somehow with the United States of America,
00:08:03.240 we're just going to accept everything and we're going to go to the EU.
00:08:06.340 How long before Carney floats the idea of Canada becoming a member of the EU?
00:08:11.720 Really?
00:08:12.400 I mean, these are the people he can relate to.
00:08:16.240 He's been living with them for years.
00:08:17.500 He called himself a European.
00:08:20.340 Here's the statement on the EU website.
00:08:24.000 I'll put it on the screen.
00:08:26.260 You can stop it and read it if you want.
00:08:28.860 It's basically what von der Leyen said in her tweet.
00:08:31.720 So this is the pivot.
00:08:33.100 This is where we're going to go to the EU.
00:08:34.580 This is the solution to all of the problems in Canada.
00:08:37.100 I have the solution.
00:08:38.060 First off, let me just point something out to the Liberals out there, the people who voted
00:08:42.280 Liberal.
00:08:42.580 You have a highly conflicted Prime Minister right now who's not suitable for the job because
00:08:46.660 of his business dealings.
00:08:48.420 And what he's disclosed is not enough.
00:08:50.540 There's a lot more to that.
00:08:51.600 I think Moose on the Loose followed this.
00:08:53.660 He's been following this with great accuracy.
00:08:55.940 Go watch his videos.
00:08:57.540 You're getting massive deficit spending.
00:08:59.240 You're seeing inflation going up.
00:09:01.500 You're not seeing any resolution to the housing crisis.
00:09:04.700 You're not seeing any resolution to the crime crisis.
00:09:06.580 You're not going to see any resolution to the immigration crisis. 0.74
00:09:09.140 And it's a huge problem there.
00:09:10.700 You're getting the same government you had for 10 awful years.
00:09:14.400 This is what you voted for on April 28th.
00:09:16.260 That was the way out, but you didn't take it.
00:09:18.300 The way out from my standpoint, because it's an absolute dumpster fire, the country of 0.99
00:09:25.580 Canada is a dumpster fire. 0.69
00:09:27.640 The only way out is Alberta independence. 0.99
00:09:31.760 It's the only way out.
00:09:33.860 Now, I've got the document that was released right here by the Alberta Prosperity Project,
00:09:41.560 the value of freedom.
00:09:42.440 This is riches for you Albertans if you vote in favor of independence.
00:09:48.300 It's the only way out.
00:09:50.880 Thanks for watching.
00:09:51.860 I do appreciate it.
