00:00:00.000 During the election campaign last year, and after it, Mark Carney said this a lot.
00:00:06.040 They think that they can own us, quite frankly.
00:00:10.520 He wants to break us so America can own us.
00:00:15.980 To break us so that America can own us.
00:00:19.580 To break us down so that America can own us.
00:00:23.820 Well, that may be closer than you think.
00:00:30.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel. It is Tuesday, September 1st, 5 a.m. I hope you're
00:00:34.920 having a great start to the first day of September. Thank you so much for being here.
00:00:39.840 To those of you over the last couple of days that have subscribed to the channel,
00:00:43.580 quite a few of you, thank you so much. I do appreciate it.
00:00:47.920 Every once in a while on this channel, I like to ask the question, how are you doing?
00:00:53.500 So how are you doing? I guess more specifically, are you doing better than
00:01:00.000 about 18 months ago, or even more specifically, I guess I could ask you, are you doing better
00:01:04.600 since the election April 28th, 2025? I'm wondering how Canada is doing. Do you think Canada is doing
00:01:11.020 better than back on April 28th when Mark Carney was elected? Because, you know, we're in a pretty
00:01:16.060 bad predicament right now. You know, those clips I played off the top, Mark Carney, they want to
00:01:22.000 break us so they can own us. He's talking about Donald Trump and the United States of America.
00:01:26.740 He did say that a lot before the election and just after the election.
00:01:30.900 He's back at that again.
00:01:32.220 We'll play another clip for you in just a moment.
00:01:34.460 I think what they do is they bring out the Mark Carney puppets with his catchphrases,
00:01:38.680 bring out the Mark Carney.
00:01:39.800 They want to break us so they can own his puppet and they stick it up there in front
00:01:43.700 of the camera so he can rile up the masses once again.
00:01:46.600 We'll get to that in just a moment.
00:01:48.620 But when he said that last year, you know, I said this was all done to effect so that
00:01:56.080 he could get votes prior to the election and he certainly wanted to keep his polling numbers high
00:02:01.040 and he's still doing that today. But what did he do? What actions did he do to try to make life
00:02:08.260 better so that the Americans cannot own us? He really didn't do very much. You have to ask the 0.93
00:02:14.120 question, why did we have to break off trade talks in August of 2026 when prior to the election last
00:02:23.160 year, we were talking about trade talks all the way through the summer. Remember when he was in
00:02:28.840 Kananaskis with the G7 leaders? We're going to have a deal within 30 days, I think was the
00:02:34.740 narrative at that point, but that never happened. So Carney really hasn't done anything. He talks
00:02:40.040 a lot, but he doesn't get very much done. There's another thing coming up in just a moment, which
00:02:44.220 is rather distasteful I'm going to talk about, where he talks about things, but he doesn't do
00:02:50.040 anything. And the United States is getting closer to owning us. And it's because of the dithering
00:02:57.380 by Mark Carney and the Liberal Party. And this is all done to effect. It keeps them up in the
00:03:04.580 polls. They win elections this way. More on that in just a moment as well. Let's go over to an
00:03:09.160 article in the National Post today. Trade war was never about sovereignty. And this is what we
00:03:14.880 heard. Carney's red lines for walking away from negotiations keep fading. A week ago,
00:03:20.860 in a spirited, resolute, and bombastic press conference, Prime Minister Mark Carney framed
00:03:24.840 the terror for what the U.S. is nothing less than the survival of Canada. I'm not going to
00:03:29.780 read this whole thing to you. I'll put a link in the description. It is unfortunate that the
00:03:34.320 Liberal government is still refusing to reveal exactly what the U.S. was asking and why Canada
00:03:38.900 have felt unable to accept? What we do know is that of the three examples that Carney cited on
00:03:45.520 that Saturday as being a threat to our sovereignty, one has been settled and may never have been an
00:03:50.780 issue. And we largely appear to agree on a second. The third issue, tariff levels on medium and heavy
00:03:56.640 duty trucks, is an outstanding irritant and a large one. The potential economic harm to Ontario
00:04:02.500 especially is such that it's likely to have always been a red line for Canada. But tariffs on trucks
00:04:08.460 isn't a sovereignty issue. It's a trade one and best dealt with at the negotiating table.
00:04:14.780 Carney told Canadians, we are the masters of our destiny. And you know, I read this in this
00:04:19.440 article this morning, before I move on in this, and I read this in this article this morning, and
00:04:23.380 boy, that has a great ring to it. We're masters of our destiny. But what is your destiny?
00:04:29.780 Doesn't mean it's going to be good. And I think Mark Carney is the master of a pretty bad destiny
00:04:36.240 for Canada, because it can be bad. So let's move on here. Fine, but we are not masters of the U.S.
00:04:43.320 And if they want to impose tariffs, it may be unreasonable, unfair, uneconomic, and ultimately
00:04:48.660 disastrous. But that's what a sovereign nation can do. A week ago, Carney was back at it, ladies
00:04:56.740 and gentlemen. Last spring, I warned that America is trying to break us so they can own us.
00:05:04.560 and I promise that that will never ever happen. Isn't this getting a little bit tiresome?
00:05:13.380 Here we are back to the same place we were at 18 months ago and Do Nothing Kearney has done nothing
00:05:20.240 at all and things are getting worse, much worse. Won't be long that the United States will own a
00:05:27.420 significant part of Canada and its manufacturing and I was talking yesterday as an aside here with
00:05:34.340 some people, a couple of different people. And please don't get me wrong here. I don't want to
00:05:40.860 see Canadians suffer. I have family that lives in Canada. I don't want to see Canada suffer.
00:05:45.980 I get no joy from this. I don't. But I brought up the word schadenfreude yesterday, which was
00:05:53.580 probably the inappropriate word to use. Schadenfreude, a German word, getting pleasure from 1.00
00:05:59.180 somebody else's misfortune. And I'm not getting pleasure from Canada's misfortune here. But
00:06:04.640 I think maybe the more correct thing to say was, I told you so.
00:06:11.320 I knew this was coming 18 months ago. It's your fate.
00:06:17.280 But let's just move back over to the story, read just a little bit more of it to you. There's
00:06:21.580 other things that he's doing nothing on. One of them, very distasteful, as I said earlier in this
00:06:26.180 video. So he warned that America was trying to break us so they can own us, and I promised that
00:06:31.060 would never, never happen. If the backdrop to that was tariffs on trucks, then Carney might
00:06:37.740 have been accused of being less Churchillian and more Shakespearean. Hence, Carney introduced two
00:06:42.600 other factors, the risk to our language and culture, as well as our ability to make trade
00:06:47.300 deals with other countries. These are things to rile up the masses. Well, at least the National
00:06:52.220 Post is finally catching on. You know, I want to go back to something that was said earlier in this
00:06:56.080 article. I've highlighted it here now in red. It is unfortunate that the Liberal government is
00:07:01.260 still refusing to reveal exactly what the U.S. was asking and why Canada felt unable to accept.
00:07:07.460 Well, it may be because of this guy right here. This article in the National Post as well.
00:07:12.600 Doug Ford's veto of a U.S. trade deal cannot stand. Trump's threat of 50% auto tariffs on
00:07:19.780 New Year's Day will be far more devastating than a bad deal before then. That may be the reason why
00:07:26.240 this trade deal broke down. And then we see an article like this. You've heard this story over
00:07:30.760 the last couple of days. This takes us back almost a week. Tamiskaming's Ryan plant closing its
00:07:36.180 industrial complex September 15th. 400 unionized workers affected. And down here, just a single
00:07:43.020 line of this story. The closure is as a result of new 50% tariffs on products shipped to the
00:07:49.120 United States. Now, it doesn't say that this plant is moving to the United States, but this is the
00:07:53.780 effect of doing nothing. Back to our other article, we'll just wrap up here at the bottom.
00:07:59.600 It was Carney's decision to call off the trade talks, and presumably he could push for them to
00:08:05.020 restart. And he might do that sooner than later, more than that in just a moment. That he isn't
00:08:09.600 making that call speaks to other political motives. He is burnishing his tough guy credentials,
00:08:14.880 awaiting to see the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections,
00:08:19.220 gambling on the anger of U.S. states to convince Donald Trump of the error of his ways,
00:08:24.740 whatever carny motives, he is playing a bold, dangerous, and ambitious game.
00:08:28.820 And going back to this article here about the 50% auto tariffs on New Year's Day,
00:08:33.280 ladies and gentlemen, the automotive industry in Canada is sitting down today talking about this.
00:08:40.580 It may come before New Year's Day.
00:08:42.560 It may be a very bad Christmas for workers in Ontario because Mark Carney is do-nothing Carney.
00:08:50.880 And then we had this just a couple of days ago.
00:08:53.220 Trump urges Canadian companies to immediately move to the U.S.
00:08:56.860 Says, I don't want Canadian anything.
00:08:59.780 And then we have this, which is shameful because of do-nothing Carney.
00:09:04.000 He talks about these things.
00:09:05.320 He does nothing.
00:09:06.220 Play a short clip from Carney in just a moment.
00:09:08.280 I'm sorry.
00:09:08.960 I have to do it.
00:09:09.760 Trump shares Christian Group's proposal allowing Canadian Jews facing anti-Semitism to flee to the United States of America.
00:09:17.680 Carney and the Liberals have pointed out that anti-Semitism is on the rise in Canada, and it is under their watch, but he does nothing about it.
00:09:26.020 Anti-Semitism has surged to levels not seen in the post-war period.
00:09:30.220 Last year, over two-thirds of all religion-motivated hate crimes were directed at Jewish Canadians who make up only 1% of the population.
00:09:42.680 All the stories about the trade deal are devastating.
00:09:45.680 This is disgraceful, what's going on here in this country.
00:09:48.920 You know, we got this just the other day.
00:09:50.560 Maybe you've seen this online.
00:09:52.560 This is from Kevin Stitt, J. Kevin Stitt, governor of Oklahoma.
00:09:56.660 reports of increasing violence, intimidation, and discrimination directed to Jewish communities
00:10:02.440 since October 7th, 2023 are deeply troubling. It is especially disturbing to see such ugly
00:10:08.380 hostility in Western nations that otherwise hold themselves out as bastions of tolerance and
00:10:13.700 civility, such as Canada. No one should be forced to live in fear because of their faith.
00:10:18.400 Should Jewish families lawfully come to the United States in search of safety and opportunity,
00:10:23.060 I want you to know that Oklahoma would proudly welcome those who choose to make our state their
00:10:28.760 home. I'm going to bring this over to you. I created this yesterday. I sent this to a couple
00:10:32.380 of friends. When do the counter tariffs go in place from Canada on the U.S.? I think it's
00:10:44.240 September 8th or 9th. My prediction is this, that Canada will be back at the negotiating table
00:10:50.980 within the next week. I hope this is true. I hope my prediction comes true. Because Carney doesn't
00:10:58.040 have to speak tough anymore. He doesn't have to speak tough and say he broke off trade talks
00:11:04.440 because he was sticking up for Team Canada. He doesn't have to do that anymore. After all,
00:11:10.580 he did win his by-elections yesterday. And I think that's what this was all about.
00:11:15.880 Read the sub-headline, the collapse of the trade talks with the United States
00:11:21.120 ultimately led the liberals picking up a seat in Quebec.
00:11:45.880 So
