00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is Wednesday, December the 31st. I hope
00:00:10.040 you're having a great start to your morning. It's the final day of the year of 2025. Can
00:00:15.640 you believe it? It's hard to believe the year has gone so quickly. As they get older, it
00:00:20.320 seems they go by faster and faster every year. And as usual, I tip my big blue mug of coffee
00:00:26.900 to you this morning, as I have pretty much every day of 2025. I do appreciate you being
00:00:33.060 here. And, you know, it's an interesting time. It is the final day of the year, so we can
00:00:38.380 look back on what's happened in the past year in its entirety, pretty much. And I thought
00:00:44.740 this would be a good opportunity to look back on the stellar year that Mark Carney has had
00:00:50.100 as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and as the Prime Minister for a good part
00:00:56.700 of it as well. So what we need to do is go back to about middle January last year and
00:01:02.340 Mark Carney decided that he was going to enter the race for the Liberal leadership. And at
00:01:06.420 this point, you'll remember that there was a threat of tariffs from Donald Trump in the
00:01:10.780 United States of America. In February, the tariffs were delayed until March. And then in
00:01:17.700 March, the tariffs were put in place and Mark Carney was named leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:01:23.620 He's now the Prime Minister of the country, and he's got an opportunity to make a trade deal with
00:01:29.160 Donald Trump when it comes to tariffs. April 28th, many of you will remember the day, Mark Carney and
00:01:36.440 the Liberals win the election. And Carney won partly because he was named the person who was most likely
00:01:43.480 to come up with a trade deal with Donald Trump and the United States of America. But the tariffs still
00:01:49.340 remained. May came along. The tariffs remained. June, the tariffs remained. July, the tariffs remained.
00:02:00.260 August, the tariffs remained. September, the tariffs remained. October, the tariffs remained. November, the tariffs
00:02:13.900 remained, and December, the tariffs remained, and they do on this final day, December 31st, 2025.
00:02:23.440 All in all, not a real good year for Mark Carney, and definitely not a good year for Canada,
00:02:30.260 but it was one hell of a year for Brookfield stock. Thank you so much for watching. I do
00:02:38.420 appreciate it. If you like the video, give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel,
