00:00:00.000I can assure you what I am talking about and I'm asking you to do today is not a stunt. I am totally serious.
00:00:11.300Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. 355 a.m. Tuesday, August the 18th. I hope you're having a great day today. Thank you so much for being here.
00:00:19.620And I want to start off by saying this. I am not doing this for clicks. I'm not.
00:00:24.260you know, on occasion when I'm out, somebody will come up to me and say, John, you just get up early
00:00:29.940in the morning and do these videos because you want clicks and you want to get paid. And I tell
00:00:34.740these people, no, I do this for fun. And when it stops being fun, I'll stop doing it. That's the
00:00:42.840truth. What I am talking about and what I'm asking you to help me with today, I am totally serious
00:00:49.500about. Like I was serious with my letter to CSIS a couple of weeks ago because I'm concerned about
00:00:55.020foreign interference in Thomas Lukasik's Forever Canadian campaign when it comes to the referendum.
00:01:00.820Serious. This is serious business. What am I going to ask you to help me with today? I need your help
00:01:06.340with a formal petition to the House of Commons to ask for Mark Carney's resignation. I'm serious
00:01:12.200about this. Now, you may say, John, you can't be serious. You don't think Mark Carney's actually
00:01:17.800going to resign? Well, no, but we need to make a point. It's important to make a point.
00:01:26.760We are less than 24 hours away from what could be an absolute catastrophe in this country.
00:01:34.380Why are we waiting until the 11th hour to get a deal with the United States of America on trade?
00:01:41.740You know, it's been, oh God, 17 months since the first Trump tariffs were to take place in early
00:01:47.2802025? Do you realize it's been since late April of 2025, since Mark Carney has been
00:01:54.940prime minister, getting elected because he was the best guy to make a deal with Donald
00:02:00.160Trump? He said he was good in a crisis. He said he was the best guy for the job. He's
00:02:06.080failed in that. Why are we waiting until the 11th hour? Now you may say, John, the Trump
00:02:12.300tariffs we're talking about now are different tariffs. Maybe so, but if we'd have come up
00:02:16.580with a trade deal last year, I don't think we'd be in this predicament right now.
00:02:21.420And there are a lot of jobs at stake here, folks. This is a big deal.
00:02:27.040You know, you got stories like this. I mean, read this headline. Read what's behind this headline.
00:02:35.800Read between the lines. Carney dodges questions on U.S. trade talks,
00:02:39.740but says he'll speak to Trump before the tariff deadline. You mean he hasn't yet?
00:02:46.580Oh, but he's got negotiators in Washington. He's the prime minister.
00:02:50.880Oh, he's been in Tuscany. That's right. And here's really the reason why
00:02:56.540Carney doesn't want a trade deal. And I've been saying this for months.
00:03:01.320Most Canadians oppose concessions as a response to looming 50% U.S. tariffs, according to a poll.
00:03:08.320You see, as soon as Mark Carney talks about making a deal and talks about concessions,
00:03:15.000his poll numbers drop. So actually he'll stay more popular if he doesn't get a deal with Donald
00:03:21.700Trump. You need to realize this. Here's something you need to realize. Carney and the liberals care
00:03:27.480more about power than they care about you. I believe that. I mean, look at this headline.
00:03:34.740A couple of days ago, Toronto Sun, Warren Kinsella, Ontario and Quebec to be hit hard
00:03:40.600if Canada fails to reach trade deal with U.S., look at the sub-headline here.
00:03:46.380Canada's greatest vulnerabilities are autos, steel, aluminum, copper, and lumber,
00:03:51.280sectors that employ an estimated 250,000 Canadians directly.
00:03:57.440And there's probably hundreds of thousands of indirect jobs as well.
00:04:01.320But the Liberals, I believe, would be happier if they didn't get a trade deal.
