00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 11.32 a.m. on Thursday, January 23rd.
00:00:05.900 I do have my big blue mug of coffee, a late cup of coffee this morning, and I'm going
00:00:12.600 to put it to you bluntly here. 0.77
00:00:14.020 If you live in Canada right now, we are absolutely f***ed, and I call this Ketchup Diplomacy.
00:00:22.400 I had a long video planned for tomorrow morning, but I wanted to do this today because I'm
00:00:28.360 very concerned, and if you're a Canadian right now, you should be extremely concerned with
00:00:32.640 what's going on.
00:00:33.560 Things are more dire than you think.
00:00:36.120 And as you saw by the card and by the title of this, we now have Ketchup Diplomacy in this
00:00:41.900 country.
00:00:42.760 That's how far we've fallen.
00:00:45.240 I'm going to show you two quick videos, one from Donald Trump, the other one from Justin
00:00:49.340 Trudeau.
00:00:49.900 Watch them both.
00:00:50.780 I know you don't like the Trudeau clips, but watch them both.
00:00:53.960 And then I'm going to show you a tweet from the Conservative Party of Canada because I
00:00:57.860 think they're clueless as well. 0.93
00:01:00.000 We are absolutely f***ed right now. 0.96
00:01:03.100 Here's Donald Trump. 0.82
00:01:04.080 Canada, we have a tremendous deficit with Canada.
00:01:06.940 We're not going to have that anymore.
00:01:08.160 We can't do it.
00:01:09.180 I don't know if it's good for them.
00:01:11.740 As you probably know, I say you can always become a state.
00:01:15.260 And if you're a state, we won't have a deficit.
00:01:17.520 We won't have to tariff you, et cetera, et cetera.
00:01:19.460 But Canada has been very tough to deal with over the years.
00:01:23.340 And it's not fair that we should have a 200 billion or 250 billion dollar deficit.
00:01:28.940 We don't need them to make our cars and they make a lot of them.
00:01:32.060 We don't need their lumber because we have our own forests, et cetera, et cetera.
00:01:35.840 We don't need their oil and gas.
00:01:37.440 We have our we have more than anybody.
00:01:39.480 Canada needs to respond with equivalent tariffs on imports from the United States.
00:01:45.600 Those would be paid by Canadian consumers.
00:01:49.580 That's why we will look, as we have in the past, at things that have replacements.
00:01:56.600 The example from last time was Heinz's ketchup being replaced by French's ketchup.
00:02:01.960 Donald Trump's rhetoric is like a thermonuclear weapon for this country.
00:02:06.700 And the prime minister of Canada is waving around a bottle of ketchup.
00:02:10.940 I'd like to grab him around the neck, just like a bottle of ketchup and shake him a little bit.
00:02:15.600 But what's even worse, and here's some criticism coming in for Pierre Polyev and the Conservative Party.
00:02:20.860 Here's a tweet.
00:02:23.240 Where's Carbon Tax Carney?
00:02:25.200 He's been missing for a whole week now since his campaign launch.
00:02:29.780 Where's Carbon Tax Carney?
00:02:31.620 Are you kidding me?
00:02:33.100 This is all by design.
00:02:34.740 He's just sitting back and allowing all this to play out.
00:02:37.900 This is all being done to rebuild the Liberal Party.
00:02:41.320 Look, I'm Justin Trudeau.
00:02:42.820 I'm going to fight back against that evil Donald Trump.
00:02:45.900 That's what this is about.
00:02:47.760 Carney knows that.
00:02:48.880 I know that.
00:02:49.840 Obviously, Pierre Polyev and the Conservative Party don't understand what the hell is going on here.
00:02:54.220 And we all know, we, the smart people, all we have to do is to negotiate on the border.
00:03:02.400 That's all that has to be done to fix this whole problem.
00:03:05.160 And all we've got is the Team Canada types screaming and yelling, threatening the United States of America in a fight that Canada cannot win. 0.91
00:03:14.420 Discussion, diplomacy, discussion, close the freaking border down. 0.73
00:03:20.060 That's all that needs to be done. 0.87
00:03:21.820 I mean, it's just so maddening.
