00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel Monday, March the 9th, 4.09 a.m. I hope you're having
00:00:08.340 a great start to your Monday and a great start to your week here with the big blue mug of
00:00:13.260 coffee today. I appreciate you being here and I will assure you this video has a happy
00:00:19.780 ending. So if you're a conservative, it's been a tough year, I understand, but this
00:00:24.580 video does have a happy ending. It was just a couple of days ago I got in a reminder, a notification
00:00:32.200 that Mark Carney's anniversary as the Prime Minister of the country was coming up. You can
00:00:39.460 see it on the screen here. I got notifications two days ago, one day yesterday, and I got one
00:00:45.660 this morning. Now, a lot of you will say he wasn't actually the Prime Minister at that point. He had
00:00:50.440 just won the liberal leadership. You'd be correct, the prime minister-designate, and he was sworn in
00:00:55.420 a few days later, but for all intents and purposes, he was the prime minister on March 9th, 2025, and
00:01:01.960 it has been an interesting year, to say the least. I've been following politics since I could first
00:01:09.320 vote at 18. I'm 61 now, and this year has been very interesting and probably busier than a lot
00:01:16.280 of others I've gone through over those years. Now, looking back on Mark Carney just quickly,
00:01:21.940 he came here with quite the resume. Here it is on the screen. Governor of the Bank of England
00:01:28.560 from 2013 to 2020, becoming the first non-British governor in the institution's history. He had
00:01:35.300 several jobs after leaving the Bank of England in 2020. He moved into the private sector,
00:01:39.880 vice chair and head of impact investing at Brookfield Asset Management,
00:01:43.660 chair of the board of Bloomberg, board member at Stripe, United Nations special envoy on climate
00:01:49.740 action and finance. Of course, he had a relationship with Justin Trudeau and the Liberal
00:01:53.740 Party, an informal economic advisor to Trudeau during the COVID-19 pandemic. And in 2024,
00:02:01.680 Trudeau appointed him chair of the Liberal Party's task force in economic growth.
00:02:05.800 January of 2025, he resigned from major corporate board roles. And in January of 2025,
00:02:12.600 January 16th, to be precise. He formally got into the Liberal leadership race, won it on March the
00:02:19.340 9th, and on March 14th, he was sworn in as the 24th Prime Minister of Canada. And as I said,
00:02:27.620 it's been a tough year if you're a Conservative. We went into the election on April 28th when
00:02:32.120 Kearney won, the Liberals won, a minority government. We went into that election
00:02:36.540 thinking just a few months earlier it would be a landslide by Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives.
00:02:41.580 But the question is, after one year of Mark Carney, where does Canada sit economically,
00:02:51.020 socially and internationally? Let's take a look back at Mark Carney's first year.
00:03:11.580 Thank you.
00:03:41.580 Thank you.
00:04:11.580 Thank you.
