John Bolton - Mark 'Captain Canada' Carney - Saviour of the Boomers - the rest of us... whatever

00:00:00.060 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 340 p.m. on Thursday, March 27th.

00:00:05.060 I got my big blue mug of coffee tasting oh so sweet today.

00:00:08.360 I made it past 19,000 subscribers. Thank you so much.

00:00:12.020 And if you feel so inclined, click right there.

00:00:14.660 And maybe we'll make it to 20,000 by the end of the weekend.

00:00:17.880 I have been following along with this auto sector tariff thing

00:00:22.020 over the last 12 hours or so.

00:00:24.520 And I've got a little different perspective on this.

00:00:26.460 I want to look at this a little different way.

00:00:30.000 But I think this might not be as bad as we think it is.

00:00:33.660 And we're being told it is by Mark Carney and the liberals

00:00:35.880 and what we're getting from the media.

00:00:37.320 It's very nuanced, the car industry.

00:00:38.980 And I don't pretend to know a lot about it,

00:00:41.300 but I've learned a bit over the last 12 hours.

00:00:43.680 Car build in Canada, car build in the United States,

00:00:46.060 car build in Mexico.

00:00:47.300 Parts from all over the place.

00:00:48.740 Who knows what tariffs are on what parts.

00:00:51.140 So maybe this will be better than we think it is.

00:00:53.580 But it's being played to the hilt by Mark Carney and the liberals right now.

00:00:56.040 He did a news conference on this,

00:00:58.360 stood in front of the Canadian flags looking like Captain Canada today.

00:01:02.780 And I'm going to run through four things that I got out of what he says here.

00:01:07.560 First off, short clip, he tells how he's going to handle this situation.

00:01:13.860 Secondly, I'm going to show you a clip of what he won't do.

00:01:17.100 And it's the most important thing that he should do.

00:01:20.540 Third, I'm going to tell you why he can't resolve this problem.

00:01:23.800 And four, I'm going to show you how he's going to use this to his advantage.

00:01:28.120 And he's already doing that.

00:01:30.080 And then five, just as a topper, as the cherry on the top of the sundae,

00:01:35.400 I'm going to show you a clip of Doug Ford.

00:01:38.180 This is how things have escalated because of this auto tariff thing.

00:01:41.420 So let's start off with number one.

00:01:43.620 How is Mark Carney going to handle this situation?

00:01:47.620 Let's be clear.

00:01:48.460 We're all on the same page.

00:01:51.360 We won't back down.

00:01:54.060 We will respond forcefully.

00:01:57.000 Nothing is off the table to defend our workers and our country.

00:02:01.460 Nothing is off the table to defend our workers and our country,

00:02:05.920 except for one thing, the most important thing.

00:02:09.460 So here's the question from the reporter.

00:02:12.960 And here is Mark Carney's answer.

00:02:14.600 Hi, Ken Berge, CTV News.

00:02:16.840 Will you or any cabinet officials be heading to Washington

00:02:19.560 to meet with the U.S. administration?

00:02:23.520 It's possible that some cabinet officials will.

00:02:26.460 I think given the timelines,

00:02:28.840 the president and I will speak, as I mentioned.

00:02:33.900 I look forward to the discussion.

00:02:36.040 We'll see where we go from there.

00:02:37.980 So he's asked by the CTV reporter

00:02:40.400 if he or any of his cabinet are going to go to Washington.

00:02:43.900 And he's not very committed to that.

00:02:46.700 You can almost hear in the background somebody saying,

00:02:49.340 we can't do that.

00:02:50.500 We've got to inflict more pain on the Canadian people 1.00

00:02:53.000 so you can win the election.

00:02:54.780 And then he makes some offhanded comment about

00:02:57.060 he looks forward to talking to the president.

00:02:59.100 That's the thing he needs to do

00:03:00.740 if this is a real problem.

00:03:03.240 But he's not doing that.

00:03:05.760 James Madison said,

00:03:07.360 crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant.

00:03:10.260 Right?

00:03:10.700 So it moves us on to the next thing.

00:03:13.920 Why he can't resolve this problem.

00:03:16.060 He is Captain Canada

00:03:17.540 to the people who are following him.

00:03:19.160 The gray hairs and all the baby boomers 1.00

00:03:21.320 who are going to sell their grandchildren down the river

00:03:23.800 because of elbows up folks. 0.62

00:03:26.040 He's Captain Canada.

00:03:27.280 If he calls up Donald Trump

00:03:29.020 or he goes to Washington to talk to Donald Trump

00:03:32.320 and Trump shows him the freaking door,

00:03:34.860 his campaign is over.

00:03:36.300 This guy's a one trick pony.

00:03:37.560 He's stolen everything he's talked about

00:03:40.060 in the election pretty much

00:03:41.440 from Pierre Polyev.

00:03:42.960 Polyev sounding like a prime minister.

00:03:45.080 He needs this crisis.

00:03:47.340 This is all he's about.

00:03:50.280 So he can't resolve this.

00:03:52.500 So more pain for you.

00:03:54.500 Like I said before,

00:03:55.480 he'll sacrifice you to get power.

00:03:58.060 Now that moves us on to the last thing.

00:04:00.180 How he's going to use this to his advantage.

00:04:02.740 And it's all over this short speech he did

00:04:05.520 in front of those two Canadian flags.

00:04:08.160 Watch this.

00:04:08.840 Short montage for you.

00:04:10.300 And I know and I understand

00:04:11.980 that many are feeling anxious

00:04:14.240 and worried about the future.

00:04:16.960 Fundamental change is always unsettling.

00:04:19.680 But I have every confidence in our country

00:04:24.380 because I understand

00:04:26.660 what President Trump does not.

00:04:31.620 That we love Canada

00:04:33.320 with every fibre of our being.

00:04:37.100 There is a big silver lining in this situation.

00:04:40.440 We didn't ask for this fight.

00:04:41.840 We've got it and we're going to fight back.

00:04:43.440 We're going to protect workers in the short term.

00:04:45.060 But we're taking the lesson.

00:04:47.260 We have to look after ourselves.

00:04:49.100 We have to build Canada strong.

00:04:51.820 Because we are stronger when we are together.

00:04:54.960 And Canadians are uniting as never before.

00:04:58.580 That we have to look out for ourselves.

00:05:01.800 And second,

00:05:03.260 that we have to look out for each other.

00:05:06.500 Rah, rah, Canada folks.

00:05:08.300 Elbows up.

00:05:09.160 Canada strong.

00:05:10.140 It's so saccharine sweet.

00:05:11.960 It makes me want to puke.

00:05:13.260 But he's Captain Canada.

00:05:15.040 He's their savior.

00:05:17.120 And he's going to ride this

00:05:18.220 all the way to April 28th

00:05:19.800 so we can get power.

00:05:20.960 And all those people

00:05:21.940 are going to vote for him

00:05:22.800 because of this.

00:05:24.040 And I'm not even sure

00:05:25.160 this auto industry thing

00:05:26.440 is as big a deal

00:05:27.620 as we're hearing.

00:05:28.680 We'll find out

00:05:29.280 over the next couple of days.

00:05:30.380 Now, before I leave,

00:05:32.400 this is unbelievable.

00:05:34.580 Here is the cherry

00:05:35.540 on top of the sundae.

00:05:36.520 Here's Doug Ford.

00:05:38.240 Mr. Optimistic.

00:05:39.540 You watch this.

00:05:41.440 I'm not,

00:05:42.040 but I can assure you one thing.

00:05:44.260 We're going to make sure

00:05:45.300 that we inflict

00:05:46.480 as much pain as possible

00:05:47.740 to the American people

00:05:49.580 without inflicting pain

00:05:53.220 on the Canadian population.

00:05:54.680 oh my god did you ever think we'd get to this point
