Summary
So many Liberals are running away from the race to replace Justin Trudeau. Is this a reflection of a lack of support for a new leader, or is there some forces behind the scenes trying to ensure Mark Carney gets the job?

Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 6 o'clock in the morning on Monday, January the 13th with
00:00:05.240
the big blue mug of coffee. Not a long video today, but I'm following along with great interest
00:00:11.360
the so-called liberal leadership campaign. You know, it was a week ago Trudeau came out and said
00:00:16.900
he'd step aside as soon as they picked a new leader. But the fascinating thing about this is
00:00:21.220
the fact that so many people are running away from this job. Now, does this show that the liberals
00:00:26.680
are in disarray or does this show that there's forces behind the scenes that are making all of
00:00:33.140
this happen? I've said a number of times that I don't think a current liberal will get this job.
00:00:39.700
I think Mark Carney has been handpicked by Trudeau. I did a video the other day which now has 36,000
00:00:44.540
views on how they did a hit piece on former BC Premier Christy Clark. But I also think that maybe
00:00:50.420
some of the big names that were brought forward as possible replacements for Justin Trudeau
00:00:56.600
are staying out because they've been told to stay out. And let's look at a few of them right now.
00:01:01.700
Anita Anand on the weekend suggested that she's not going to run. She's not even going to run
00:01:06.040
in the next election. She realizes that she's been connected with a really unsavory person in
00:01:11.180
Canadian political history and that's Justin Trudeau. Then there's Scott McKinnon. He says there's not
00:01:16.180
enough time to get a leadership campaign going. Now, granted it's a pretty short time to get things
00:01:21.320
going, but I don't think he can pay the $350,000 extortion fee that you have to pay to get into
00:01:27.180
this race. That's a lot of money. Only well-connected bankers could actually do that. Then there's
00:01:32.000
Melanie Jolie with the stupidest excuse of all. She says she's got responsibilities right now dealing
00:01:38.140
with the United States and possible tariffs that may be coming from Donald Trump. She's going to be
00:01:43.860
shown the door before very long. That's a stupid excuse. She's just staying out and making excuses.
00:01:48.300
Then there's Dominic LeBlanc, who I think is probably the smartest of the four and I think
00:01:53.680
he sees the writings on the wall as well. But I kind of liken them, I thought about this on the
00:01:58.280
weekend, I liken them to the four crime families in The Godfather that Michael Corleone does away
00:02:03.940
with, right? It's almost like they've been told, stay out of the race because I picked somebody and
00:02:08.720
my guy is Mark Carney. It's like we've got Barzini, what was it? Barzini, Tattalia, Cunio and
00:02:14.680
Starachi. So that's Anand, McKinnon, Jolie and LeBlanc, okay? So who else is possibly going to run in this
00:02:22.380
race? Well, the big name that's still kind of hanging in there is Christia Freeland. Now she
00:02:27.920
hasn't said one way or the other if she's running for the leadership of this party and you have to
00:02:33.560
wonder if she's going to. You have to wonder if she's going to find a horse head in her bed,
00:02:37.520
you know what I mean? It was Jack Waltz, right? In The Godfather. You have to wonder if she's going
00:02:43.080
to see Khartoum underneath her sheets when she wakes up one morning. But she's the one liberal
00:02:49.620
that actually has something a little different she can use against pure polyev or against Mark
00:02:55.800
Carney. And that's the fact that she can play the spurned woman, the person who stood up to Justin
00:03:00.660
Trudeau, the hero of feminism, right? Even though she's responsible for all of the economic woe we've
00:03:07.020
got here in this country. And then of course there's Christy Clark and Mark Carney, neither
00:03:13.260
of which have actually decided they're going to run in this race. Now that may be expected this
00:03:17.800
week, but you wonder if Christy Clark has seen the writing on the wall as well and sees the fact
00:03:22.920
that she's an outsider looking in on this and Mark Carney's going to get this job. Now the real
00:03:28.260
interesting thing about this is that trying to find out who's actually in this campaign is like
00:03:34.560
finding somebody in the witness protection program, right? It's unbelievable. Here are the two people
00:03:40.060
I could find. Now maybe there's more. I don't know. You've got liberal MP Chandra Arya, who I'm putting
00:03:45.380
my support behind. And then you've got Frank Bayliss, MP, backbencher. He's in the race as well. But you
00:03:52.020
have to wonder if they're both going to be made offers they can't refuse, if you know what I'm talking
00:03:57.340
about. I think Carney's the guy. And it will be interesting to see if he walks out in front of the same
00:04:02.420
door. Trudeau walked out in front of last week to make his announcement of stepping down as the
00:04:08.280
leader of the Liberal Party. Now, I did find this video. I'm going to end it here. I find this to be
00:04:14.520
great, kind of fun, kind of a lighthearted way at looking at this liberal leadership campaign.
