Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 5.35 a.m., Monday, September the 1st. I've
00:00:10.420
got my big blue mug of coffee. I hope you're having a great holiday Monday. Hope you've
00:00:15.200
got the day off today. I appreciate you being here. If you haven't subscribed to the channel,
00:00:19.700
please click on subscribe. Thank you so much. So I'm feeling a little lazy today, in a way.
00:00:25.960
As you can see, I'm back in my basement. Just quickly, quick health update. I'm downstairs.
00:00:33.040
I'm walking with a cane now. I feel I'm way ahead of the curve when it comes to my
00:00:37.760
recuperation from a broken pelvis and broken collarbone. I'm very proud of myself. I'm
00:00:43.360
hoping I'm at the gym in October. I'm hoping I can do that, but I'm feeling good. I'm feeling
00:00:47.500
really good. Enough about me. Today, I'm feeling lazy because I woke up this morning not sure what
00:00:54.020
I wanted to talk about today. So I relied on something that I don't rely on very often,
00:00:58.260
which I'll get to in just a moment. But yesterday, I was thinking,
00:01:01.240
Canada's demise will result in Alberta's rise because I think the more that Canada fails,
00:01:08.640
the better it will be for the independence movement here in Alberta, and more people will
00:01:12.600
want to jump off the sinking ship of Canada. Now, that's as far as I want to go when it comes
00:01:16.920
to the independence movement here. But that's the way I was feeling yesterday because I can see
00:01:20.620
bad things on the horizon. You probably can as well. So I'll explain why I'm being lazy today,
00:01:28.260
but I found it fascinating what I came up with today. So let's go over to my screen here,
00:01:34.900
and I've got the technology back once again after several weeks of not having this. But
00:01:39.560
this is the kind of stuff I'm seeing here. Michael Tobe, the polls are in, Carney's honeymoon is coming to
00:01:45.420
end. Conservatives led the Liberals in abacus data's latest release, a sign that Canadians are
00:01:50.720
coming to realize Carney isn't their savior. All right. And there are other things that I'm seeing
00:01:56.100
right now that show how vapid the Liberal Party is, how weak the Liberal Party is, how morally corrupt
00:02:03.120
and morally lacking the Liberal Party is as well. Stuff like this. Housefather, 31 Liberal MPs lead call
00:02:10.780
to action against rising anti-Semitism in Canada. 31 Liberal MPs. Critics wonder why 137 other members
00:02:18.440
of Prime Minister Mark Carney's caucus didn't sign. Ezra Levant knows why, and this is what he had to
00:02:23.160
say. What a cell phone. Only 31 of 169 Liberal MPs would sign this simple letter against anti-Semitism.
00:02:30.520
They've done the math. Thanks to mass immigration, there are millions of anti-Semites in Canada now,
00:02:34.920
and the Liberals want their votes. So there you go. And then there's stuff like this.
00:02:39.120
U.S. trade war has pushed Canada into recession territory. Here's what that means. So there are
00:02:45.440
bad times on the horizon. Now, here's what's going to happen if we get into a recession.
00:02:50.220
Mark Carney will blame the recession on Donald Trump, and he might be right to do that. Certainly,
00:02:56.480
the Trump tariffs will help push us towards recession. And of course, the people who follow
00:03:01.040
Mark Carney will say the same thing. It's all Donald Trump's fault. But there's only one guy right now
00:03:06.000
that can solve this issue, and he hasn't done his job. And that would be Mark Carney. He is the one
00:03:13.600
who was supposed to solve the tariff issue. We go back over to my screen here. This is from March the
00:03:18.640
20th. Mark Carney's Liberals seen as best party to deal with Trump in tariffs, and they haven't done
00:03:24.380
the job. And then there's this here. So I went to chat GPT today. I went to chat GPT to ask a
00:03:40.320
question, and this is how I'm being lazy today. But I found this fascinating. I don't go to chat GPT
00:03:47.860
very often. I've used it on occasion here for information. I did a video a couple of weeks ago,
00:03:51.760
and people seem to like that. I use it to make thumbnails because I'm not good at making
00:03:55.520
thumbnails. A little picture you see on the screen for YouTube, I use it for that. Very helpful for
00:03:59.960
that. But I went to chat GPT and asked it a question today. I asked it a couple of questions
00:04:05.800
because I know you can lead chat GPT in a specific direction with your question and get the information
00:04:11.080
that you want out of that AI. So I thought I'd test it out. What do you think Mark Carney's main
00:04:17.580
accomplishment has been since he became the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada? I'll give
00:04:21.960
you a couple of seconds to think about that. What's his main accomplishment? What has he achieved?
00:04:31.940
I knew the answer to this as soon as I put it into chat GPT.
00:04:37.940
His main accomplishment, and here's the question I asked it right here.
00:04:41.480
What is Mark Carney's main accomplishment since becoming leader of the Liberal Party of Canada?
00:04:47.120
Since becoming the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada in March 2025, Mark Carney's most significant
00:04:51.940
accomplishment has been leading the Liberals to an election win. It's not solving the tariff problem.
00:04:58.360
It's not bringing grocery prices down, making the cost of living easier, lowering crime problems,
00:05:05.640
immigration has gone down. None of these things have been accomplished at all. The only thing Mark
00:05:10.380
Carney has accomplished is he became the actual legit Prime Minister of the country by winning the
00:05:16.320
election on April the 28th. Now, how many days has it been since Mark Carney became the leader of the
00:05:21.980
Liberal Party of Canada? 176 days, March 9th. And the best thing he's done happened 126 days ago on
00:05:30.180
April 28th when he became the legit Prime Minister. He's accomplished absolutely nothing.
00:05:35.960
So what question did I ask of chat GPT? I'm going to read it to you, okay? And I thought this was
00:05:45.400
terrific. So here's what I asked chat GPT this morning. Can you write me a four to five minute
00:05:53.280
essay on how Liberal Party leader of Canada, Mark Carney, has failed in his main goal of negotiating a trade
00:06:00.540
deal with the United States? Please incorporate his deflection away from this main issue by visiting
00:06:05.860
European countries and accomplishing absolutely nothing on behalf of the Canadian people. Now,
00:06:11.780
again, I go back to this. What's his main accomplishment? He's accomplished nothing other
00:06:16.320
than winning the election. So let's go back to what chat GPT had to say here, okay? It's titled
00:06:22.840
Mark Carney's Failure on Trade with the United States. When Mark Carney assumed leadership of the
00:06:27.220
Liberal Party of Canada, he entered politics with the reputation of a skilled international banker who
00:06:32.840
had navigated crises at the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. Many Canadians expected that this
00:06:38.200
expertise would translate into concrete results in his new role as Liberal leader, particularly on the
00:06:45.300
most pressing issue facing Canada's economy, renegotiating a stable and beneficial trade relationship
00:06:51.120
with the United States. Unfortunately, Carney's record to date shows that he has failed to deliver on this
00:06:56.300
core promise. Carney's main objective was clear, repair relations with Washington and secure a trade
00:07:01.660
deal that would shield Canada from tariffs, resource disputes and economic uncertainty introduced under
00:07:08.080
President Donald Trump's administration. Instead of achieving progress, Carney has presided over
00:07:12.840
stalemate. U.S. tariffs remain in place on key Canadian exports. Energy access is still subject to
00:07:19.000
American political whims and Canada's natural resources, water, lumber and critical minerals remain
00:07:25.060
bargaining chips rather than secured national interests. For someone whose political brand was built on
00:07:30.980
economic competence, this failure represents more than just a political shortcoming. It is a betrayal
00:07:36.340
of his central mandate. Rather than remaining focused on the tough, painstaking negotiations necessary with
00:07:42.940
the United States, Carney has sought to redirect attention by staging photo op tours in Europe. He has met with
00:07:49.260
European leaders, attended economic forums and spoken at high-level conferences. Yet these trips have
00:07:54.500
produced no tangible benefit for ordinary Canadians. No new European trade markets have opened for Canadian
00:07:59.860
farmers or manufacturers. No breakthrough agreements have been secured to offset the lost ground with the
00:08:05.140
United States. These travels, while perhaps enhancing Carney's image abroad, have done nothing to address the
00:08:11.220
bread-and-butter concerns of workers and businesses at home. This pattern of distraction is telling. By pivoting to
00:08:18.500
Europe, Carney appears eager to avoid scrutiny of this inability to deal with Washington. In doing so, he risks
00:08:25.460
repeating the very political behavior he once criticized, chasing international prestige at the expense of
00:08:31.380
domestic results. While he has delivered speeches warning of global populism or climate risks, Canadian exporters
00:08:37.780
remain caught in uncertainty and consumers continue to face higher prices from trade disruptions.
00:08:44.500
The result is a credibility gap. Canadians expected that Carney's technical expertise would translate into
00:08:50.500
tough but effective negotiations. Instead, they see a leader who has allowed the central economic
00:08:55.460
relationship of this country to languish while wasting political capital on fruitless European tours.
00:09:01.860
In a political landscape where Canadians are increasingly skeptical of elites who talk more than they
00:09:06.580
deliver, this failure is especially damaging. In the end, Mark Carney has not met the challenge of his own
00:09:13.300
campaign promise. His inability to secure a US trade deal has left Canada exposed and vulnerable
00:09:19.380
at a time when economic certainty is desperately needed. Worse, his strategy of deflection, visiting European
00:09:25.460
capitals and returning empty-handed, underscores the gap between his international reputation and his
00:09:31.860
domestic effectiveness. If leadership is judged by results rather than rhetoric, Carney's tenure thus far must be
00:09:37.940
considered a profound disappointment. So, I thought that that was pretty good. And it's interesting,
00:09:43.700
Chad GPT actually asked you, would you like to be more partisan? And I ran that through as well. Yeah, make
00:09:48.980
the speech more partisan. This is far more critical of Mark Carney than a partisan speech that you might hear out of a
00:09:55.940
conservative politician's mouth, perhaps Pierre Polly. But I just thought that that was very interesting.
00:10:02.340
Carney's going to blame an upcoming recession on
00:10:05.380
Donald Trump and be prepared for a lot of bad things to happen. That's what I'm seeing in the future.
00:10:10.420
We have things that are happening right now. He's going to entrench the CBC in law. He's not backing
00:10:16.100
down on EV mandates. He's going to continue with his green agenda. He's going to allow the provinces and
00:10:21.620
aboriginals to have a veto on energy and natural resource projects in this country. And I don't think a lot is
00:10:28.980
going to get done, but he's going to try to push through a lot of nasty things before a next election,
00:10:34.340
which could come in 18 to 24 months. That's generally how long minority governments last.
00:10:39.220
So, I'm being a little lazy today, but I thought it was fascinating what Chad GPT spit out this morning.
00:10:45.220
Now, I just want to assure you that I don't rely on this for anything I say on this channel, and I don't
00:10:51.700
expect to ever do that again. It is a resource for me. It's a resource for you when you use
00:10:56.980
EI to get information. And I will use it as a resource. I use Microsoft AI as well,
00:11:02.580
Apple AI as well for statistics and things like that. But otherwise, I will not do this again.
00:11:08.740
Okay. I'm not going to rely on chat GPT for any commentary on my channel. I hope you enjoyed this.
00:11:15.060
I found this really interesting this morning when I did this, and I thought I would share it with you.
00:11:19.940
Thanks so much for being here. I do appreciate it. I'm going to head back upstairs, grab myself
00:11:24.820
another big blue mug of coffee. It's interesting when I come downstairs now, I have to bring my
00:11:28.660
coffee in this and then transfer it over to this because I have to hold on to the railing as I go
00:11:33.700
down the stairs because I don't want to tumble down the stairs and make myself worse off than I am
00:11:37.780
right now, but I'm feeling great. Thank you so much for being here. If you liked the video,
00:11:42.580
please give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications, back with
00:11:46.900
