00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Great to have you along today. It's 3 11 p.m. Friday,
00:00:10.040 June the 27th. Enjoying a nice mug of tea this afternoon. Hope you're having a wonderful day.
00:00:15.560 Big news breaking this afternoon you may be aware of. Donald Trump has just shut down
00:00:20.540 all negotiations with Mark Carney, the Liberal Party in Canada regarding tariffs.
00:00:25.440 I don't think this should come as any surprise, to be honest, but this is what Donald Trump
00:00:32.760 sent out on social media today. Let me go over to the screen here. You can take a look at this.
00:00:38.740 We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult country to trade with,
00:00:43.220 including the fact that they have charged our farmers as much as 400% tariffs for years on
00:00:47.820 dairy products, has just announced that they're putting a digital services tax on our American
00:00:51.980 technology companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our country. They're obviously
00:00:56.160 copying the European Union, which has done the same thing and is currently under discussion with us.
00:01:00.900 Also, based on this egregious tax, we are hereby terminating all discussions on trade with Canada,
00:01:07.000 effective immediately. We'll let Canada know the tariff that they will be paying to do business
00:01:11.520 with the United States of America within the next seven-day period. Thank you for your attention
00:01:15.720 to this matter. So the digital services tax went into effect, I believe, almost a year to the day
00:01:22.440 ago. So it has been in place. Trump maybe just being told about it or was just waiting to lower
00:01:27.320 the boom on Canada today because he has a flair for the dramatic, of course. And of course,
00:01:32.240 in here he's talking about dairy products. Canada just entrenched in law supply management regarding
00:01:37.460 dairy products. They can't even talk about it. They entrenched this in law, no doubt rubbing 0.98
00:01:42.860 Donald Trump's nose in it, about a week ago. So the digital services tax has got to go
00:01:48.640 because we need to negotiate with our biggest trading partner. Here's Donald Trump. Let me
00:01:53.280 just move this video back here. Talking about this, I believe it's in the Oval Office just a few minutes
00:01:58.440 ago. So Canada put a charge on some of our companies and Canada has been a very difficult
00:02:07.880 country to deal with over the years. You know, we hear Canada. We have a great relationship with
00:02:13.840 the people of Canada, but it's been very difficult. And they put a charge and they were a little bit
00:02:18.640 early. We found out about it. So and we have all the cards. We will every single one. We don't want
00:02:24.140 to do anything bad, but they have economically. We have such power over Canada. I'd rather not use it,
00:02:32.320 but they did something with our tech companies today trying to copy Europe. You know, they copied
00:02:37.700 Europe. It's not going to work out well for Europe either. So he goes on to talk about dairy products,
00:02:44.040 400% tariffs on products and whatnot, things like that. So Donald Trump's pissed off, breaking off
00:02:49.400 negotiations with Mark Carney, the great negotiator. People online saying Mark Carney has played this
00:02:56.240 perfectly. Donald Trump is taking the ball and going home, but this will not pan out well for
00:03:03.060 Canada. Rupa Subramanya, she sent out that initial tweet that I showed you from Donald Trump.
00:03:11.340 And she has this to say, which I think is important. This is unfortunate and clearly Mark Carney messed up
00:03:16.020 big time. For what it's worth, Pierre Polly have planned on keeping the digital services tax and supply
00:03:21.260 management so unlikely that the outcome would have been different under a Polly of government. You know,
00:03:25.840 I don't know whether that's the case. Despite the fact that Donald Trump said he didn't like Pierre
00:03:32.440 Polly have and the conservatives over here during the election campaign, I think there would have been
00:03:37.620 a better relationship between Polly have and Trump because they're more conservative and they could
00:03:43.840 probably talk to each other better. And Pierre Polly have wouldn't have been spending all of his time
00:03:49.160 over gavorting with his neighbors and his friends and the people he feels comfortable with over in the
00:03:55.060 European Union. He'd have got down to business months ago to fix this problem.
00:04:00.460 As I showed earlier this morning, I showed a video from December 2nd. That was the day that
00:04:04.720 Trudeau went to Mar-a-Lago and Donald Trump first floated out the 51st state. I believe Trump
00:04:09.460 talked about these tariffs back in November, shortly after his election, before his inauguration,
00:04:15.660 by a long shot. And the liberals have been dithering ever since. December 2nd is a long time ago,
00:04:20.700 folks. We're flipping the calendar over to July, early next week. And what did we end up with?
00:04:28.480 We ended up with a sit down around December 10th with a number of the premiers, not including Danielle
00:04:32.840 Smith, who did her best to be diplomatic with the Trump administration, going down and talking
00:04:38.920 to them, one of only a couple of people in the country that did that.
00:04:42.200 Then we had Justin Trudeau resigning on January 6th, starting up a liberal leadership campaign.
00:04:49.340 They dithered all the way through that. We got thrown into an election campaign. They've
00:04:53.600 dithered all the way through that. Carney has spoken to him a couple of times, but has resolved
00:04:57.660 nothing. Shows up on CNN. They call him the Trump whisperer. Well, it's not working out so well,
00:05:03.020 is it? So, Sumbra Mania goes on to say, the Canadian political establishment, whether liberal
00:05:10.520 or conservative, has invested in these self-harming policies that benefit highly entrenched groups
00:05:15.200 at the expense of average Canadians. And I talk about it. I don't know how much the cream price
00:05:21.060 here in Alberta has to do with the dairy cartel in Quebec, but I get pissed off about it. It drives
00:05:27.100 up prices on everything. And I don't like paying too much for my dairy. I use a lot of dairy.
00:05:31.980 Canada continues to screw itself over, especially when it could have used the classic blame avoidance
00:05:37.120 mechanism to pursue radical reforms that benefit all Canadians. So, here we are.
00:05:41.820 The tariff negotiations are over. Now, I don't find it surprising. I think,
00:05:45.580 I don't know what Danielle Smith's relationship is with the Trump administration and Donald Trump. 0.97
00:05:51.800 There's pictures of her with Donald Trump and with Kevin O'Leary and Donald Trump and talking to a
00:05:57.020 number of people in the Trump administration. She obviously knows them. I'm not sure what her
00:06:01.980 relationship with them is. But just within the last couple of days, she's floated out the
00:06:07.740 Alberta Next panel. And we knew this was coming, but the timing is interesting to me.
00:06:13.600 A couple of days before this gets dropped,
00:06:17.620 Smith was putting pressure on the Carney government with the Alberta Next panel. Now, I think this panel
00:06:22.940 is unnecessary. I do think that Albertans need to be better educated when it comes to an Alberta pension
00:06:30.580 plan. They've said they don't want it. I do. Regarding a new police force, people in the province
00:06:36.540 say they don't want an Alberta provincial police force. Ontario and Quebec have had them for years.
00:06:41.160 The OPP, the Société de Québec. Why not here in Alberta? But Daniel Smith says Albertans have had
00:06:48.380 enough of Ottawa's economic attacks on our province and know it's time to take stand. I just get the
00:06:52.840 feeling that Daniel Smith got a heads up about what Trump was going to do today. And she knew this was
00:06:57.580 coming and launched Alberta Next right before this, because this kind of stuff is putting pressure
00:07:02.540 on Donald Trump. Alberta, our home, pristine mountains and lakes, wide open pastures and fertile
00:07:09.840 fields, unmatched natural resources, world-class cities, world-class people. So it goes on and on
00:07:18.180 and it talks about Alberta having an Ottawa problem. So it puts pressure on Ottawa, on Mark Carney is what
00:07:22.920 I meant to say. And then they came out with this video here, Alberta Police Service. This has come out.
00:07:28.440 When's this? June 25th. The Alberta Next panel is touring Alberta,
00:07:32.200 to hear from Albertans on how our province can better protect ourselves from Ottawa's economic
00:07:37.680 attacks. And then we go over here and we've got the Alberta pension plan. The Alberta Next panel is
00:07:44.420 touring Alberta to hear from Albertans on how our province can better protect ourselves from Ottawa's
00:07:50.160 economic attacks. They all start off like that, Ottawa's economic attacks. The answer to all of this
00:07:56.760 chaos with Donald Trump is Alberta independence. We don't need more panels asking us what we want out here,
00:08:04.660 Premier Smith. What we need is movement to get the hell out of Canada, because this is chaos.
00:08:10.020 And we're getting dragged down into this. I will say that this is a benefit to the independence movement.
00:08:21.820 And this kind of stuff, as much as it bothers me that it's hurting my friends in Canada,
00:08:26.500 it just gives me more reason to say, we got to get the hell out of this. Madhouse.
00:08:30.720 So again, Donald Trump says, no more talks on tariffs. They're talking right now in Washington
00:08:38.560 about making big plans, changes, getting rid of taxes on tips, taxes on pensioners over there,
00:08:44.300 doing all this work right now. Our government's on vacation.
00:08:47.400 Thank you very much for watching. I do appreciate it. If you enjoy these videos,
