Hey there, it's John and welcome to my car. Cold day today in Calgary. A little follow-up on a
00:00:06.400
video I did earlier this morning regarding Donald Trump putting a 25% tariff on all goods coming
00:00:12.620
from Canada and Mexico if we don't straighten out our border. Stop people from coming across,
00:00:18.100
keep drugs from coming across. That's what he said. That's the ultimatum he's given here.
00:00:23.320
Now, I was just listening to the local news station here in Calgary. This is how the news
00:00:27.540
media can be dishonest to you. They lie by omission. They mentioned the fact that Trump was
00:00:33.540
going to impose a 25% tariff, but they didn't mention the other part about cleaning up the
00:00:39.740
border. And they brought somebody on who said that Donald Trump has to abide by the trade deals he's
00:00:45.040
got with the United States and Canada. Now, the Prime Minister of Canada is calling an urgent meeting
00:00:51.280
with the first ministers here in Canada. For those of you who don't know who they are, those are the
00:00:56.420
premiers of the provinces here to talk about this issue. And all they have to talk about is cleaning
00:01:01.940
up the border. This is a simple thing to solve. More secure border, no tariffs from Trump. That's
00:01:09.520
what this is about. So don't listen to your media. Always question what you hear. They're providing
00:01:15.720
misinformation and disinformation. You can easily prove that what they're saying is lied,
00:01:20.700
a lie by omission. Thanks for watching. Talk to you again soon.
