00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel, Tuesday, August 25th, 310 AM. Great to have
00:00:08.000 you here. Thank you so much. And I was sitting yesterday kind of following along with what
00:00:14.540 was going on with this trade conflict between Canada and the United States of America, just
00:00:19.280 kind of taking it all in. I woke up this morning, 1.32 o'clock, I read five, six, seven different
00:00:25.200 articles on this, looking at it from a different perspective. I get the feeling what I've been
00:00:29.820 talking about the last couple of days is more true than you might want to believe. And we'll
00:00:34.080 get into that in just a moment. But I want to look at this in segments. I want to look at the
00:00:38.900 reaction of Canadian politicians to what Donald Trump is doing here. Donald Trump, he gets off
00:00:46.060 on this, folks. This is his trade negotiation. He's pissing off Canadian politicians. They are
00:00:51.840 reacting. And by reacting, they're giving Donald Trump exactly what he wants. One premier in
00:00:58.140 particular, really needs to shut his mouth because he could be driving his biggest industry out of
00:01:04.500 his province before the beginning of the year. We'll get to that in just a moment. If you're a
00:01:08.460 Polyev calling for Parliament to return, we'll have to see if Mark Carney is really Team Canada 1.00
00:01:13.600 here because that's what you think might be a good reaction to this, but Carney won't do it.
00:01:18.100 We'll talk about that as well. And we're also going to talk about how this rising to the top
00:01:23.280 of the news cycle distracts us from everything else that's going on right here. The Liberals
00:01:28.600 are truly the architects of Canada's destruction. And have they planned ahead for this type
00:01:35.100 of eventuality? Do they have a rainy day fund? I have a rainy day fund in my home just in
00:01:40.520 case something bad goes on and something bad is happening in Canada right now. So let's
00:01:45.160 start off with our first discussion today. Let's talk about Doug Ford. Now, Doug Ford,
00:01:51.440 he just can't help himself. Doug Ford is playing to the crowd. Doug Ford is playing this for laughs.
00:01:58.100 Doug Ford says he won't react to everything Donald Trump says. He won't take the bait,
00:02:02.780 but then he does every time and he's making things worse. This article right here,
00:02:07.600 Ford tells Trump to kiss my ass as U.S. president calls the premier a flunky. 1.00
00:02:12.260 I have a lot of real estate on my ass, so he has a lot of room to kiss my ass. 1.00
00:02:17.440 So I just do. 1.00
00:02:21.420 Doug Ford thinks this is funny.
00:02:23.780 And he likes when people laugh at what he says.
00:02:26.480 And he did a number of these things yesterday.
00:02:29.340 But he's only making things worse.
00:02:30.900 How does Donald Trump respond to Doug Ford when he says things like this?
00:02:35.240 He puts out a post like this on True Social.
00:02:37.920 Now, you need to read between the lines here, folks.
00:02:40.000 I'm not going to read this whole thing just down to a specific part here.
00:02:43.560 But you need to read between the lines here.
00:02:46.500 this isn't exactly what it says. Okay. So let's, Canada has been ripping off the United States of
00:02:54.240 America for years. Their ridiculously high tariffs on our farmers and farm products has
00:02:59.420 made life impossible for these great American patriots and has long created a $60 billion
00:03:04.640 deficit between our two countries, not sustainable and not anymore. On January 1st, 2027, tariffs on
00:03:12.500 cars, trucks, both large and small, automotive parts and steel will be increased to 50%.
00:03:18.820 Build in the US and there are zero tariffs. So everybody's focusing on the fact that he is
00:03:25.240 threatening these tariffs on January 1st, 2027. But folks, this tweet is not about tariffs at the
00:03:32.240 first of next year. This is an incentive for automotive industries in Canada to leave now
00:03:37.500 and get zero tariffs. That's what he's trying to do here. And Doug Ford, every time he opens his
00:03:42.600 mouth, he makes things worse. You don't think that this is a huge discussion in the automotive
00:03:49.200 industry in Ontario. You don't think this is what they've been discussing for weeks. And since these
00:03:54.060 trade talks broke down, you don't think this is the top of their agenda. Every time they sit down
00:03:58.820 in a boardroom, you're damn right it is. And you have to think there are discussions of maybe we
00:04:05.300 should just move to the United States. We can get away from this madness. And Trump's right.
00:04:10.540 Zero tariffs in the United States of America. What does Doug Ford do? He tells Donald Trump
00:04:15.700 to kiss his ass and he doubles down on it for laughs. Now, I'm not saying you should roll over, 1.00
00:04:21.940 Doug, and I think you should talk tough here, but you need to shut your mouth. I mean, 0.92
00:04:26.320 about 10 days ago, I did this. And this is more appropriate than ever. Let's move on to our next
00:04:36.800 segment. Now that we've moved away from Bozo the Clown, what do we do moving forward now that these
00:04:43.460 trade talks have broken down and we've got this crisis here in Canada? Well, the leader of the
00:04:48.560 opposition, Pierre Polyev, I think is on the right track here. You know, Team Canada, we should sit
00:04:53.340 down. We should reconvene parliament without delay after the trade talks collapsed. Let's discuss
00:04:58.860 this. How are we going to move forward? How are we going to fix this problem? I think this is a
00:05:03.180 good idea. The conservatives just the other day said that they would like to know what broke down
00:05:09.160 the trade talks. We want to know the specifics here. Again, Carney, as I said a few days ago,
00:05:13.540 long on rhetoric, short on details. I'd like to know more of the details, more on that in just
00:05:17.660 a moment. I think what I assumed over the last couple of days is actually true. But will Mark
00:05:22.760 Carney do this and reconvene Parliament? You'd think this would be the prudent thing to do,
00:05:27.420 but of course he won't. Is he going to take advice from the leader of the opposition?
00:05:32.000 He's got by-elections to win, folks. All this chaos and trade discussion and the breakdown
00:05:37.720 and the collapse of these trade talks only help his candidates in the upcoming by-elections.
00:05:43.060 That's more important than solving this problem. And then we can move on to things like this.
00:05:48.240 What do we do? What are we going to do? Well, folks, today we're going to find out
00:05:51.720 how much of your money is going to have to bail out this chaos and crisis in Canada.
00:05:55.880 Canada to announce loans, benefits as part of domestic response to U.S. tariffs,
00:06:01.280 according to a source. Measures reportedly include expanded jobless benefits
00:06:05.860 and business loans similar to COVID-era assistance.
00:06:11.720 Oh my God. This article right here.
00:06:16.140 Monday morning, Bloc Québécois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet said he backed Carney's
00:06:20.620 decision to pull out of negotiations after the broadside from the U.S. against Canada. I'll bet
00:06:26.440 he's talking about the French language. We're coming to that in just a moment. Speaking from
00:06:30.360 Montreal, Blanchet calling the government to reinvest every single dollar collected as part
00:06:35.580 of tariffs on U.S. goods to support impacted industries. He also proposed the Liberals set
00:06:41.140 up financial aid programs for impacted companies, including something resembling the COVID-era wage
00:06:47.480 subsidy program. Ladies and gentlemen, do you remember what the deficit was in the biggest
00:06:52.440 year of COVID? $300 billion. Unbelievable. Now, if we go back over to this story right here,
00:07:03.780 let's find out what's going on here. So up here, it said on Saturday, Carney specifically pointed
00:07:08.900 to Canadian trucks not receiving the same tariff relief treatment as Canadian autos.
00:07:13.500 language in the deal around restricting Canada's ability to make trade deals with other countries
00:07:18.860 and efforts to restrict our protections of our language, our culture, and in effect,
00:07:23.880 our sovereignty as some of the reasons for why Canada did not sign the deal.
00:07:28.360 On Monday, Carney said the U.S. views the French language protections as trade irritants
00:07:33.720 while Canada views them as rights.
00:07:35.740 Ladies and gentlemen, it does come down to cars, it does come down to trade,
00:07:41.160 and it does come down to language, meaning what I said over the last couple of days for the most
00:07:46.500 part is true. Did Kearney sacrifice Canadian jobs to make deals with the communist Chinese 0.80
00:07:53.160 and say au revoir to the Canadian economy? Is French the hill that Canada dies on? 0.88
00:08:01.040 I think these things are true. I think they're more true today than they were over the last 1.00
00:08:05.140 couple of days. When I talked about these things, we could be risking tens of thousands,
00:08:09.540 if not hundreds of thousands of jobs because of French and the communist Chinese. And of course, 1.00
00:08:14.920 trucks as well, but it won't matter after a while because before January 1st, the United States is
00:08:20.080 going to own the whole automotive industry if Doug Ford keeps yapping his lips. Now we move on to
00:08:24.800 this. Let me bring it up on the screen here for you. Can we ditch the political theater for the
00:08:30.360 real show? And this is true. You read this article, I'll put a link in the description for this
00:08:34.840 article, right down at the bottom, no deal is better than a bad deal, is fine political rhetoric,
00:08:40.360 but is simply BS. It's an excuse for not putting in the work needed to govern. Yes,
00:08:46.600 Trump is unpredictable. However, we elect our leaders, or we should, not to walk away from
00:08:51.360 challenges, but to confront them, even better to solve them. And we can't rule out any options.
00:08:57.660 We might have to reconsider sacrosanct policies like supply management. It's quite possible that
00:09:04.240 we might have to sell American wine without the label being bilingual. But we need to be at the
00:09:09.900 bargaining table to discuss the options. This article says, listen, ladies and gentlemen,
00:09:14.800 eventually we're going to have to sit down with the United States of America to work this out.
00:09:19.400 Why not right now? Well, Danielle Smith said, just get back to the table and work this out. 0.98
00:09:25.680 She's the only one in the country talking sensible about this right now. Now let's talk about this.
00:09:31.000 while we're focusing on these trade talks which are incredibly important and the breakdown of
00:09:38.380 these trade talks let's keep an eye on all the other things that are going on this country
00:09:42.340 and all the other troubles we have we need to keep an eye on what's actually going on
00:09:46.840 so let's take a look at the state of canada right now
00:09:50.260 now that the breakdown of trade talks have risen to the top of the news cycle and rightfully so
00:09:58.240 we need to not get distracted here, folks, because there's a lot going on in the country
00:10:02.440 we're not talking about right now. And these are problems that have not been solved by Mark
00:10:06.740 Carney and the liberal government. So what I've done is I've jotted a few things down here. There
00:10:11.340 are more, but here are some major things that I was thinking about. We're running deficits in
00:10:15.620 this country right now of 60 to $70 billion. This is abnormal, but it's become normalized.
00:10:21.280 People accept this. I don't trust this number. I think it's a lot higher than that. I don't trust
00:10:25.620 liberal estimates. And it looks like we're going to be running even bigger deficits
00:10:29.800 because of the breakdown in these trade talks. This is not good. This drives up inflation. It
00:10:35.020 makes life more unaffordable for you. We're still imposing ridiculous regulations on our oil and gas
00:10:41.080 industry, on industry in general, which is driving away investment. We're uninvestable in this
00:10:47.860 country. Mark Carney's done nothing about that. We have a major projects office in this country
00:10:53.260 that hasn't built a single major project, and the ones that it will build won't be completed for
00:11:00.380 years because of all the regulations and rules in this country. The oil and gas pipeline that's
00:11:05.780 being proposed that's going to cost between $35 and $43 billion of your money, it won't be completed
00:11:11.400 for six years, and it will likely be longer than that. We have a Canada housing office that doesn't
00:11:17.420 build too many houses. And the housing it does build is mostly rental units now. You will own
00:11:23.900 no home and you will like it. Carney is still pushing his net zero policy. He calls it the
00:11:32.840 National Electricity Program. And it's net zero, ladies and gentlemen. I find it interesting that
00:11:38.860 the acronym National Electricity Program is NEP, similar to the National Energy Program,
00:11:44.560 which still pisses off Albertans 40 years after Pierre Trudeau implemented that. We have programs
00:11:52.000 in this country to subsidize food because the situation is so bad in this country, people can't
00:11:59.100 afford to eat. Now, the liberals tout this as a great success. This is a huge failure. And it's
00:12:05.960 a failure of government, of liberal government. And Kearney is embracing communist China. And we 0.81
00:12:12.580 talked about that already in this video with its human rights abuses and its predatory trade
00:12:17.960 practices. One of the reasons why these trade talks broke down is because Carney wants to
00:12:23.580 deal with the communist Chinese and the Americans don't want their influence in this part of the 0.99
00:12:27.500 world. Now, my question for you is, do you have a rainy day fund? Money you put aside just in case 0.98
00:12:33.780 something comes up, like you have a car issue and you need your car and you got a $600 bill all of
00:12:39.800 sudden or like my house here we had friends over a while back day before they got here our fridge
00:12:46.280 went and we had to spend 1100 on a new fridge we had the money put aside canada really hasn't
00:12:51.720 planned on stuff like this this is a catastrophe waiting to happen what they do is they just keep
00:12:58.680 throwing good money after bad in for a penny in for a pound they do have a rainy day fund and that's
00:13:03.320 you they can always soak you for more cash and all of this deficit spending it comes down to your
00:13:09.400 money and your children's money and your grandchildren's money. It's not good for the
00:13:15.180 cost of living. It's not good for you. Now, the liberals act like they care, but ultimately they
00:13:20.820 are the architects of Canada's destruction. Now, I have one thing to end with here for my friends
00:13:26.880 in Alberta. On October 19th, vote option two. Thank you very much for watching. If you like
