00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 611 AM. It is Saturday, March the 29th. I've got my big
00:00:06.020 blue mug of coffee. I hope you're having a great start to your weekend. I am. I woke up this morning
00:00:10.860 and I've hit 20,000 subscribers on this channel. So thank you so much for that. If you'd like to
00:00:16.180 help me make it to 21,000, just click subscribe right there. And maybe we'll make it there by
00:00:21.660 the end of the weekend. So I wake up thinking about strange things. If you've been here before,
00:00:25.760 you know how I am. And I thought this morning, despite all of the glowing reports of the Mark
00:00:32.460 Carney campaign and how well he's doing in the polls, and I don't tend to believe them.
00:00:36.340 I'm starting to think they're false. Things are not going well for Mark Carney. Everything he's
00:00:41.340 done in his life and things that he said in the past have come back to haunt him since he became
00:00:46.120 a politician. And I thought I'd run through a few of these things today. And I'm going to start off
00:00:50.740 with the story that broke yesterday. Now, if you haven't seen my video, watch that.
00:00:54.520 Candace Malcolm did a great job from Juneau News on this. I'll put a link in the description.
00:00:59.040 She ties everything together nicely. But the story is that Mark Carney is going to cave to
00:01:04.940 Donald Trump on everything when it comes to the tariffs if he's elected on April the 28th.
00:01:10.280 Here is Conservative MP Michael Barrett talking about that.
00:01:14.460 We've now seen the leaked liberal plans from the media company that employs Mark Carney's top
00:01:20.340 advisor Gerald Butts that employs Mark Carney's wife and until a couple days ago employed Mark
00:01:26.700 Carney's star candidate Evan Solomon. And it says that after the election, Carney will quietly fold
00:01:33.660 and give in to Donald Trump's demands.
00:01:36.300 So next up on the list, I'm going to try to keep this short for you, Brookfield,
00:01:41.320 Carney's company avoiding taxes with offshore accounts.
00:01:45.240 Now, Mark Carney was also dealing with controversy today. The liberal leader was asked about his previous
00:01:49.920 position with Brookfield, a global alternative asset manager, and the use of Bermuda as a tax haven.
00:01:57.240 CTV's Judy Trinn is in Windsor. And Judy, tell us about the backlash that Mr. Carney is now facing.
00:02:03.020 Sandy, Mark Carney really wanted to talk about the liberal policy to protect the auto industry.
00:02:08.360 Instead, he was pressed on his previous job with Brookfield Asset Management.
00:02:12.920 Look, I'm beholden to absolutely no one except to the Canadian people.
00:02:18.620 The job Mark Carney wants to be prime minister could be impacted by the job he had as chair of Brookfield Asset Management,
00:02:27.220 where he managed two investor funds valued at $25 billion registered in the tax haven of Bermuda.
00:02:35.940 As Carney appeals to middle class voters like auto workers, his opponents are using the information to try and undermine him.
00:02:43.840 He chose to register in another country to avoid paying those taxes. That's less money for health care, less money for seniors.
00:02:51.440 Staying with Brookfield, his lies about moving Brookfield to New York City.
00:02:56.440 I was chair of Brookfield Asset Management. I ceased to be chair on the 15th, I think, of January.
00:03:05.680 Toronto-based Brookfield Asset Management is moving its head office to New York from Toronto.
00:03:12.220 The decision, the formal decision of the board, happened after I ceased to be on the board.
00:03:17.880 Up next, Mark Carney seems to like to take credit for things he's not done before.
00:03:21.900 Brian Lilly did a great video on this, and here's a short part of that.
00:03:25.740 Stephen Harper has written a scathing letter denouncing Mark Carney for trying to take credit for things done by a man who's now dead,
00:03:34.640 the late Jim Flaherty, Stephen Harper's longest-serving finance minister,
00:03:38.420 the man who really shepherded Canada through the 2008-2009 financial crisis,
00:03:43.420 and a man whose work Carney has been trying to take credit for as he seeks to become Liberal leader and Prime Minister of Canada.
00:03:50.340 This is not the first time that Carney's tried to take credit for things he didn't do.
00:03:54.420 During the Liberal leadership debate, of course, he claimed to have helped Paul Martin balance the budget in the Khrushchev Liberal government.
00:04:01.700 Well, it was my privilege to work with Paul Martin when he balanced the books and kept the books balanced.
00:04:09.680 And, of course, we know from his own resume that, well, Carney wasn't even in the country,
00:04:14.800 he wasn't working for the federal government.
00:04:16.300 In fact, he didn't join the Finance Department until 2004, when Paul Martin was already Prime Minister.
00:04:22.640 Mark Carney, as you know, is Mr. Net Zero.
00:04:26.400 He has tried to discourage pipelines here in Canada while investing in them in other countries.
00:04:32.920 Pierre Polyev did a real good job on him, what he was questioning him on a video call.
00:04:37.540 Do you support the Prime Minister's decision to veto the Northern Gateway pipeline, Mr. Carney?
00:04:44.180 I understand the veto of the Northern Gateway pipeline.
00:04:50.640 Do you support it?
00:04:52.940 Given both environmental and commercial reasons.
00:04:56.320 Do you support it?
00:04:57.640 I think it was sensible.
00:04:59.020 I wasn't involved in the decision, but I think it was the right decision.
00:05:01.940 And yet your company has invested billions of dollars in oil companies in both Brazil and the UAE to buy pipelines.
00:05:09.840 You've bought billions of dollars of pipelines as a company in the last five years.
00:05:15.880 As he's running to be Prime Minister here in Canada, he says he's going to develop oil and gas in our resources.
00:05:22.440 But in the background, he's not going to do that at all.
00:05:25.520 There is not a green switch that we can flip this afternoon and move from being economies where four-fifths of global energy is supplied by fossil fuels today
00:05:34.920 and overnight be 100% supplied by renewables.
00:05:38.620 That's not possible.
00:05:40.160 But what is essential is there's not new investment in additional capacity that the world is not going to need.
00:05:47.920 The society is putting tremendous value on achieving net zero.
00:05:53.340 So the companies and those who invest in them and lend to them who are part of the solution will be rewarded.
00:06:00.100 But those who are lagging behind and are still part of the problem will be punished.
00:06:04.920 You know and I know that if you're in high school and you stole somebody's other work without giving them credit,
00:06:14.420 it's called plagiarism.
00:06:15.860 Apparently Mark Carney likes to do that as well.
00:06:34.920 Being with somebody doesn't mean you've done something wrong,
00:06:39.740 but being associated with a convicted sex offender like Ghislaine Maxwell,
00:06:44.140 who was associated with Jeffrey Epstein, not a good look.
00:06:48.300 And it's been brought up a couple of times on the campaign trail.
00:06:50.920 On ne reconnaît pas les peuples autochtones.
00:06:54.480 How many kids didn't even last in Jeffrey Epstein?
00:06:56.560 Il n'a, il n'a.
00:06:59.820 Hey Mark Carney, what about those kids on Epstein Island?
00:07:03.620 Mark Carney, what about the kids on Epstein Island?
00:07:06.920 Carney has a good resume, including being the governor of the Bank of England,
00:07:10.900 and he goes on and on about the great job he did there,
00:07:13.580 but a lot of people don't think he did a good job at all.
00:07:17.080 Here's former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss.
00:07:20.140 I think it is extraordinary that Mark Carney has become the Prime Minister of Canada.
00:07:24.880 He did a terrible job in Britain of the governorship of the Bank of England.
00:07:30.000 He created a lot of the problems that blew up on my watch and that I got blamed for.
00:07:34.960 Well, Mark Carney was governor of the Bank of England,
00:07:37.160 and under his tenure, too much money was printed,
00:07:41.220 which did damage to the British economy and put our economy off track.
00:07:46.400 He, at the last election, endorsed Rachel Reeve's economic policy.
00:07:51.080 She's now become chancellor.
00:07:52.620 It's been a disaster for Britain.
00:07:54.680 The country is heading for bankruptcy.
00:07:57.180 So I would strongly recommend not backing Mark Carney
00:07:59.960 or his policies on net zero,
00:08:02.580 which have been disastrous for Britain,
00:08:04.780 and would be disastrous for Canada.
00:08:07.080 Not only does Mark Carney invest in oil and gas
00:08:10.660 when he says he's Mr. Net Zero
00:08:12.300 and he wants to discourage it here in Canada,
00:08:15.320 but at the same time,
00:08:17.240 his company, Brookfield,
00:08:18.520 was involved in an insurance company
00:08:20.060 that likes to abuse its workers. 1.00
00:08:22.860 Here's Pierre Polyev.
00:08:24.920 We know that Mr. Carney's company
00:08:27.180 abuses workers.
00:08:29.520 They bust unions.
00:08:30.980 They invested in companies that busted unions.
00:08:33.400 He also, in a very tragic case,
00:08:37.560 one of the insurance arm of Carney's company, Brookfield,
00:08:42.180 profited by denying the insurance claims
00:08:46.060 of coal miners dying from black lung.
00:08:51.240 These are workers who,
00:08:53.060 by breathing in dust in the ground,
00:08:55.840 became extremely sick,
00:08:57.620 and when they went to get the insurance
00:08:59.800 that they had paid for,
00:09:00.840 they were denied.
00:09:02.120 Those are just a few of the things
00:09:03.660 I could think of
00:09:04.500 in just a few minutes this morning.
00:09:06.620 Again, Carney's only been a politician
00:09:08.520 for a few months.
00:09:10.100 The election's only a week old,
00:09:11.600 but I have a feeling
00:09:12.500 some other things are going to float
00:09:13.660 to the service before voting day
00:09:15.340 on April the 28th.
00:09:16.820 We'll keep an eye out for those.
00:09:18.220 But things are not as rosy
00:09:19.660 in the Carney campaign
00:09:20.800 as you may think.
00:09:22.360 Now, I want to leave on a positive note here.
00:09:24.500 Meanwhile,
00:09:24.940 Pierre Polyev is sounding
00:09:26.640 very prime ministerial,
00:09:28.400 and people are going out
00:09:29.340 to see him in great numbers.
00:09:31.680 So let's end with a couple of things
00:09:33.360 that have happened to Polyev
00:09:34.380 over the last couple of days.
00:09:35.840 If you like the video,
00:09:36.880 please give me a thumbs up,
00:09:37.900 subscribe to the channel,
00:09:39.080 ring the bell for notifications
00:09:40.340 on the way to 21,000 subscribers,
00:09:43.440 and I'll see you in the next one.
00:09:54.940 and I'll see you in the next one.
00:10:24.940 And I'll see you in the next one.
00:10:42.820 Bye.
