00:00:00.000 As of June 14th, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney has been out of Canada for approximately 100 days since his election on April 28th, 2025.
00:00:11.660 This estimate is based on his 17 international trips to 25 countries during this period.
00:00:20.560 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel for 24 a.m. Sunday, June the 14th.
00:00:26.020 I hope you're having a great start to your Sunday and a fantastic weekend as well.
00:00:30.000 here with the Big Blue Mug of Coffee, which I tip to you today. Thank you so much for being here.
00:00:34.980 I do appreciate it. I woke up this morning, as usual, around 2.30 this morning. I started going
00:00:40.840 through my phone to see what was going on in the world, and I started thinking about Nero.
00:00:46.720 Nero apparently fiddled while Rome burned, and I thought about Mark Carney traveling while Canada
00:00:53.960 burned. You heard chat GPT off the top, telling us that Carney has been out of the country more
00:01:00.560 than a hundred days since he became prime minister back on April 28th, 2025. He's been on 17 trips in
00:01:08.580 25 different countries. Now, I would say to you, a lot of what Carney has been doing over the last
00:01:13.480 year is performative. It looks good to people, but really he accomplishes nothing, thus traveling
00:01:19.780 while Canada burns. You know, how are we doing when it comes to housing? Is it getting much
00:01:24.620 better in the country? Not a lot of updates from the Liberal government on this. If we had been
00:01:29.040 building houses in the hundreds of thousands over the last year, no doubt Carney would be walking
00:01:34.140 out and telling us about it. How are we doing when it comes to food and coming to cost of living
00:01:39.520 for people? Well, we're not doing very well at all. You might remember this video, which I did
00:01:44.020 about a week or so ago. Canada's biggest failure, liberals and their supporters celebrate Canada's
00:01:50.060 disgrace. And this was a story I did. I'll put a card at the end so you can watch the whole thing
00:01:55.120 on how the Canadian government, meaning you, the taxpayer of Canada, you now have to subsidize
00:02:01.060 people so they can afford to eat. And the liberals and their supporters are celebrating this as some
00:02:07.500 kind of great victory. I've never seen anything quite like this, but this is all on the liberals
00:02:12.740 watch. Meanwhile, we've got a problem still with immigration in this country. The liberals won't
00:02:18.820 admit to it that this has been a major problem. As a matter of fact, this article ran in the
00:02:23.540 National Post just about 10 days ago. Immigration has been artificially juicing Canadian GDP the
00:02:30.680 whole time. More on the GDP in just a moment. Mark Carney, instead of admitting that the liberals 0.86
00:02:35.460 have been the problem in this country over the last 10 years causing these problems,
00:02:39.800 They're blaming the fact that Canada is in a recession.
00:02:44.020 Mark Carney recently declared that lower immigration has likely precipitated Canada's slide into recession.
00:02:51.320 So he's not willing to take any responsibility or Liberal Party responsibility for what's going on.
00:02:56.660 Instead of being in Canada to solve these problems, Carney hides on these trips he's going on.
00:03:02.460 And here's the latest one.
00:03:03.740 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney back home on two-day visit to Ireland.
00:03:08.120 Now, Mark Carney feels very comfortable with all of his friends over in Europe because he is a European, after all.
00:03:14.820 He said it on a stage with a bunch of people not too long ago.
00:03:19.320 You look like you were about to...
00:03:20.400 Yeah, I was a tell.
00:03:21.860 As a European, you know, as a...
00:03:23.560 As a European, I am a European, actually.
00:03:25.400 Oh, you are? Oh, oh.
00:03:26.380 Yeah, yeah, an Irish citizen.
00:03:27.060 I'm a European, actually.
00:03:28.160 Oh, you are? Oh, oh.
00:03:29.120 Yeah, yeah, an Irish citizen.
00:03:30.180 Do you have any doubt that Mark Carney would run back to his European friends as soon as he loses his job as Prime Minister of Canada?
00:03:38.120 Mark Carney is a Canadian of convenience who travels while Canada burns. While Canadian
00:03:44.600 taxpayers are having to subsidize people to eat in this country, Canada's disgraced, Mark Carney's
00:03:51.060 doing just fine. And that's the kicker to this story in just a moment. It will disgust you.
00:03:56.600 We've talked about it here before, but it gets even worse. So let's go back to the National
00:04:01.860 Post story. Immigration has been artificially juicing Canadian GDP the whole time. Quick 0.60
00:04:07.700 paragraph from the story going down here, quoting a conservative. Our GDP per capita has been on the
00:04:14.420 decline for two years. It's been longer than that. Jasraj Singh Halan, the conservative shadow
00:04:20.500 finance minister, told the House of Commons in November 2024. He added, in simple terms,
00:04:25.960 Canadians are getting poorer. That's true. In fact, I went over and asked ChatGPT about this 1.00
00:04:31.600 today, and here it is. Please compare the per capita GDP of Canada and the United States. This
00:04:37.400 is shocking. Using the latest World Bank data for 2024, the gap between Canada and the United States
00:04:44.700 is substantial. United States, GDP per capita, current U.S. dollars, $84,534, and Canada is
00:04:54.020 $30,000 behind. Now, why is this happening? Why is the gap so large? Higher productivity in the
00:05:02.620 U.S. American workers generally produce more output per hour worked. Larger technology sector.
00:05:08.720 The U.S. has many of the world's largest and most profitable technology firms. Greater business
00:05:13.980 investment per worker. You'll remember the RBC told us a trillion dollars in lost investment
00:05:20.460 since the Liberals got in in 2015, a trillion dollars.
00:05:25.300 Stronger growth in high-value industries such as software,
00:05:28.760 pharmaceuticals, finance, and advanced manufacturing.
00:05:31.980 Population growth outpacing economic growth in Canada during recent years,
00:05:36.100 which tends to reduce GDP per person even when a total GDP rises.
00:05:42.800 And here's the kicker to the story, and it's absolutely disgusting.
00:05:46.820 Carney is doing just fine while people are suffering in his country, and he's off traveling around the world.
00:05:53.340 DND says $1 million spent on in-flight meals for CanForce One, but the numbers don't add up.
00:05:59.960 This is actually worse than it appears.
00:06:02.980 Mark Carney in-flight catering costs topped $960,000, but DNT records fail to match invoices previously obtained by The Sun.
00:06:12.200 If you go to this story, which I'll put in the description, you can read some of the things that
00:06:17.360 have been purchased and how much money and how many people this guy takes on his trips. 73 passengers
00:06:23.300 here at a cost of $2,853 per passenger to go on a trip with this guy. 92 passengers, 68 passengers,
00:06:32.120 64 passengers. What the hell do all of these people do? Mark Carney is eating just fine
00:06:39.740 while people in this country can't afford the basics.
00:06:43.200 He travels while Canada burns.
00:06:45.700 Meanwhile, if you go back to this article,
00:06:47.920 the National Post story we were talking about earlier,
00:06:50.360 let me just read this to you.
00:06:52.180 This is unbelievable.
00:06:53.240 A new abacus data poll has just charted liberal support
00:06:57.420 at highs not seen since the 1990s.
00:07:00.400 The government of Prime Minister Mark Carney
00:07:01.980 posted an approval rating of 59%
00:07:04.820 with 47% of respondents expressing their intention
00:07:08.640 to vote Liberal against 35% for the Conservatives. This is the highest approval rating we have ever
00:07:14.720 registered for the federal government, read an accompanying note. While Carney's traveling and
00:07:21.580 Canada burns, the people who support him are fiddling while Canada burns. And remember,
00:07:26.500 you can't fiddle unless you got your elbows up.
00:07:38.640 in the next one.
