00:00:00 This is the story that's got tongues-a-wagon across Canada right now.
00:00:04 Kearney government actively involved in talks leading to Stellantis plant sale, according to sources.
00:00:10 I don't think this is a mistake. This is the plan, and there's a hell of a lot more about the story that people aren't talking about.
00:00:19 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel for 28 a.m. Thursday, November the 12th.
00:00:24 I hope you're having a fantastic Thursday. Thank you so much for being here.
00:00:29 And yesterday I was watching this Stellantis story blow up on social media, and I was sitting
00:00:35 back thinking, do I run to the camera now and do a video on this as everybody else is doing videos?
00:00:41 And I thought, no, I'm going to wait till tomorrow morning. I'm going to see what else transpires
00:00:45 before I wake up at two o'clock in the morning. And so that's what I did. And I'm thinking about
00:00:50 this a little differently, maybe differently than other people as well. Okay. There's a bunch of
00:00:54 conclusions I've come to about what's going on when it comes to this headline, which I showed
00:00:59 you off the top of this video. Now, Mark Carney and Melanie Jolie are standing in front of the
00:01:05 media and lying, boldly lying about what's been going on with this deal with Stellantis.
00:01:11 And I was thinking about this early this morning, and here are a few of the things that I came up
00:01:16 with. I wrote them down. Canada is uninvestable. I've said that here before. That's the reason why
00:01:21 Stellantis is walking away. No, they don't want to invest in this country anymore because
00:01:25 government's in the way. We'll get to that in a moment. Canadian taxpayers are now subsidizing
00:01:30 the new company that bought Stellantis. The company is called Rochelle. We'll talk about
00:01:34 that briefly in just a moment. Carney's nationalizing everything. Carney is playing
00:01:40 Russian roulette with Canadian workers and their jobs. He's playing Russian roulette with the 0.94
00:01:44 Canadian automotive industry. And government is not the solution to the problem. Government is
00:01:49 the problem, and that's why we're in the situation we're in right now. So let's go to this article
00:01:54 right here, just read a little bit about it, and then we'll hear the bold lie from Mark Carney
00:01:58 with Melanesia Lee smiling and nodding at the same time. So here's the article right here.
00:02:04 The federal government was actively and intensively part of the discussions that ended
00:02:08 in the agreement to sell a Stellantis car assembly plant to Canadian armored vehicle manufacturer
00:02:14 Rochelle, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the talks. The sources said the
00:02:20 federal government also did not stand in the way of the deal. In those private discussions,
00:02:24 Stellantis announced the sale of the Brampton, Ontario, car assembly plant to Rochelle on Monday.
00:02:29 The plant has been idle since 2023, with more than 2,200 workers on layoff pay.
00:02:36 Despite the public dismay conveyed by Carney and Jolie on Tuesday, sources said the federal
00:02:41 government had been engaging directly with both companies, knew the terms of the proposed sale,
00:02:47 and did not stand in the way of it. The situation in Stellantis, the Brampton
00:02:53 plan, is unacceptable. It violates the obligations that Stellantis has under several agreements,
00:03:01 but to be more fundamental, it's a betrayal of the workers, as it is a betrayal of the
00:03:10 of the obligations to Canada and by extension to all Canadians, we will fully enforce our
00:03:19 rights in protection of those workers and protection of Canadian funds.
00:03:25 And the issue is not the work, the exceptional work of the Minister of Industry, Madame Jolie,
00:03:33 her colleagues, it is the behavior of the company versus those workers.
00:03:41 The performative prime minister is back.
00:03:43 This is all an act.
00:03:44 You got to listen to me.
00:03:46 You know, I did a video a couple of weeks ago, or I called him a sociopath.
00:03:50 He so easily stands there and misleads people and lies to people.
00:03:55 He's like the dictionary definition of a sociopath.
00:03:59 He's not protecting Canadian funds.
00:04:01 He's not protecting Canadian workers.
00:04:03 This is the words he uses to try to rile up his elbows up, people who still support him.
00:04:08 You've got to wake up, ladies and gentlemen, to what's going on here.
00:04:11 He's risking Canadian funds.
00:04:13 He's risking Canadian jobs.
00:04:15 And there could be a lot more coming down the road within the next couple of months.
00:04:18 Where's Mark Carney?
00:04:19 He's flown off to Europe.
00:04:23 At the European Political Community Summit.
00:04:25 Don't you think we've got a lot of problems here in Canada that he could be solving right now?
00:04:31 Maybe we're better off that he's not here anymore.
00:04:33 And why is Stellantis leaving? Because there's no reason for them to stay.
00:04:40 They can't do business here anymore. We are uninvestable. We get in the way. Maybe some of
00:04:47 you remember this. This is from December 3rd last year, so almost a year ago. Maybe you remember
00:04:55 this. Canadian taxpayers gave Stellantis $15 billion. Today, their CEO proudly told Donald
00:05:01 Trump. They're putting almost putting almost all of that exact amount into new factories in the
00:05:06 USA. Now, I'm going to play this clip for you. There's something very important that he says
00:05:10 here that I'm going to explain to you in just a moment. Thank you, Mr. President. It's a great
00:05:15 day for us at Stellantis today because it's a day where we see cafe regulation reconciled with real
00:05:22 customers' demand. That's why at Stellantis we decided to invest through Jeep, Ram, Dodge,
00:05:28 and Chrysler. $13 billion in the next four years, increasing production by 50 percent,
00:05:35 delivering to the market five new vehicles and creating 5,000 additional jobs. That's because
00:05:41 we believe in what you, Secretary Taffy, and all your team is doing in this country. We believe
00:05:47 in growth. We are ready to invest even more. Why is he doing this investment in the United States?
00:05:52 Why did he make that announcement last December 3rd? Because Donald Trump wants companies to come
00:05:58 to his country. He makes it easier for them to do business, unlike Canada. In Canada, we've got
00:06:04 carbon taxes and industrial carbon taxes and regulations that get in the way. And we haven't
00:06:10 got a trade deal with the United States of America right now. Did you hear what the man said? It might
00:06:14 be hard. He's got a bit of an accent. He talks about cafe regulations, reconcile with real
00:06:20 customers demand, and that's CAFE standards, which is fuel regulations under the Energy Policy and
00:06:27 Conservation Act to improve the average fuel economy of cars and light trucks. And Donald
00:06:32 Trump reduced them on September 28, 2026, from 50.4 miles per gallon under Joe Biden to 34.9
00:06:42 miles per gallon under Donald Trump. When did he announce that he was going to do that? He did it
00:06:47 the exact day that this man announced that they were making an investment with Stellantis in the
00:06:51 United States of America. That's exactly the day he did it. December 3rd, 2025. And it happened in
00:06:59 September of this year. That's why they're investing in the United States of America.
00:07:03 Canada is uninvestable. Now you have to wonder what's going to come next because very soon
00:07:08 something is coming in that may really harm Canadians. And Mark Carney says he's protecting
00:07:14 Canadian jobs. Is he? He's over in Europe. This is coming in very soon. Donald Trump,
00:07:22 is he still threatening tariffs on the auto industry? Yep. January 1st, 2027, ladies and
00:07:28 gentlemen, that is coming. How much time have we got? Not very much time. If you look at the
00:07:33 actual sitting calendar in the House of Commons, they're going to go on vacation on December 11th
00:07:38 for Christmas. When do they come back? January the 25th, more than a month. When are we going
00:07:46 to get a trade deal done? You could see the total automotive industry of Canada disappear
00:07:51 within the next couple of months because Mark Carney's more concerned about being part of the
00:07:56 European Union. Now, the media is starting to catch on a little bit, and maybe the voters will
00:08:04 as well. We're going to a bunch of by-elections in December. Wake up, folks. They say Carney's
00:08:10 likely to win them. More majority for him. You got to wake up. But the media is starting to
00:08:15 catch on. They're realizing that he's the performative prime minister. This was on CTV,
00:08:21 on PowerPlay. I think you're getting tired of just the rhetoric of you're going to hold people
00:08:24 to account without seeing any real results and not really sure what the next steps are.
00:08:29 And I just think to Kathleen's earlier points, you have to ask yourself, where do we go from here?
00:08:34 Every company now that thinks, you know, it's financially unviable to be in this market.
00:08:39 Are we going to have this situation where it's just constant, you know, aggressive rhetoric, constant browbeating that you have to stay in Canada or else?
00:08:45 Where do we go from here, the man says?
00:08:48 Every company thinks it's financially unviable to be in this market.
00:08:52 That's Canada.
00:08:54 We are uninvestable.
00:08:56 Do you really think Mark Carney cares?
00:08:59 As he says he's doing things for Canadians.
00:09:02 Thousands of people are about to lose their jobs.
00:09:04 he stands out in front of the Canadian people and lies about this Stellantis deal, which he knew
00:09:09 everything about, along with Melanesia Lee. And I don't know whether he thinks he can nationalize
00:09:14 the automotive industry as it moves into the United States of America, which is quite possible.
00:09:19 And by the way, to those of you who were cheering on the Democrats in the midterm elections,
00:09:23 you know, Michigan's Democrat, do you think they're going to give a flying F that a lot of
00:09:28 Canadian auto workers are going to lose their jobs when more come to Michigan? They're not
00:09:32 going to care. They might shake Donald Trump's hand. And yet, I don't know whether Carney
00:09:37 thinks he can nationalize the automotive industry. As those jobs are lost, he's trying to do it with
00:09:43 everything else. How about oil? You're about to buy a pipeline from Alberta to the BC coast
00:09:49 because nobody will invest in a pipeline. Build Canada homes, more of your money because nobody
00:09:55 will build any houses because we can't build anything here. Nobody wants to invest in it,
00:10:00 so you have to. It's your money. We've got a major projects office that sits about 20K from where I'm
00:10:05 sitting here in Southeast Calgary right now, a big program, because nothing can get done. He keeps
00:10:11 announcing things, nothing gets done. It's all a performance. What will be his answer to these jobs
00:10:17 being lost with Stellantis? Bail it out. This was announced on, what was it, August 25th, a couple
00:10:24 of months ago, Canada to announce loans, benefits as part of domestic response to U.S. tariffs,
00:10:29 according to a source. This is bailing out these people who have lost their jobs.
00:10:34 That's not going to help them in the long term. And what about this company, Rochelle?
00:10:38 What about the company that's buying up the Brampton plant? Well, here's an article right
00:10:43 here. Rochelle to acquire Stellantis Brampton plant, expanding Canadian defense manufacturing.
00:10:49 Here's more on this. I wanted to find out if the government subsidized Rochelle. Well, not really.
00:10:55 Though Rochelle benefits indirectly through government defense procurement contracts
00:10:59 and diplomatic trade support, the Canadian government has purchased Rochelle Senator
00:11:03 armored vehicles, including committing 383 vehicles as part of a military aid package for
00:11:10 Ukraine. So the government's putting hundreds of millions of dollars of your money into giving
00:11:15 more aid to Ukraine. Since I started with a Reagan quote about government being the problem,
00:11:21 Here's another one to end it. Government does not solve problems. It subsidizes them. I think
00:11:27 what Mark Carney's doing right now is all performative. It's all an act. This is all part
00:11:31 of the plan. Oh, and by the way, just as a kicker to this story, Rochelle, the company buying
00:11:36 Stellantis in Brampton, also might be building some EVs, which of course is one of Mark Carney's
00:11:42 pet projects. There'll be Chinese EVs, by the way. This article coming out just yesterday,
00:11:48 a Ford letter to PM, Chinese EV kits must not be assembled at Brampton plant. EVs being built
00:11:55 in Brampton by the company that bought Stellantis. Coincidence?
