Transcript

00:00:00.000 I'm announcing today that the Canadian government will now match, we will now match the United States
00:00:06.060 by removing all of Canada's tariffs on U.S. goods, specifically covered under Christmas.
00:00:12.940 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is 3.58 a.m. Saturday, August the 23rd. I've got my
00:00:18.980 big blue mug of coffee and this coffee is tasting oh so sweet this morning. I've been waiting and
00:00:25.480 wanting to do this video since I went to bed last night. I actually went to bed last night,
00:00:29.920 got up and got the little bits and pieces I needed for this video this morning. I have
00:00:33.680 been looking forward to doing this video this morning because I love it when politicians have
00:00:38.480 to eat crow. And honestly, I'm going to come up with a very unusual conclusion to this video today so
00:00:44.160 you'll want to watch to the end. But do you remember when people were saying stuff like this
00:00:49.920 about Danielle Smith? All of these instances, I only brought up about 10 of them from last night,
00:00:55.800 but if you go on X right now, you will find thousands upon thousands upon thousands upon
00:01:02.780 thousands of instances where people called my premier Danielle Smith a traitor for having the
00:01:10.340 audacity to go to the United States and talk to Donald Trump about getting rid of tariffs in this
00:01:17.800 country and getting rid of tariffs in my province of Alberta. And to this day, Danielle Smith, the
00:01:24.960 only person, the only one who has done anything about tariffs in this country, keeping oil and gas
00:01:32.060 tariffs down to 10%. Do you remember Mark Carney mocking Danielle Smith because she wanted to be a
00:01:39.420 diplomat and do her freaking job? Let me tell you one other thing. In these times, sending Pierre
00:01:46.160 Poliev to negotiate with Donald Trump is the worst possible idea. I can think of one other
00:01:54.860 politician I might not send. It just came to me in the last 24 hours.
00:02:07.320 Do you remember when my premier Danielle Smith, who has more balls than that little weasel Mark Carney
00:02:13.060 has and stuffed it right back in his face? How do you feel about being mocked by the
00:02:18.940 prime minister of Canada and making you the butt of jokes during the campaign?
00:02:25.340 Well, I've noticed this with progressive men, how much they talk about how much they support women
00:02:30.300 until they meet a strong conservative woman. And so this is a pretty consistent type of approach
00:02:35.940 that I've seen, not only from the current prime minister, but the former one as well.
00:02:39.440 And the attitude is, sit down and shut up. Well, I don't shut up. I make sure that Albertans know
00:02:45.940 exactly how I feel about issues. And I'm going to continue advocating on behalf of my province,
00:02:50.260 whether he likes it or not.
00:02:51.320 And what does Team Carney want me to do? They want me to abandon my post, remain in Alberta and do
00:02:56.460 absolutely nothing to defend our province. They want me to cower in the face of Eastern media
00:03:01.500 pundits and politicians who favor political grandstanding to effective diplomacy. I'm fiercely
00:03:07.360 criticized for going into the lion's den to change the hearts and minds of the very Americans
00:03:12.080 that we need on Canada's side to avoid a trade war with the most powerful economy on earth.
00:03:18.280 They want this lady and Alberta to just sit down and shut up. Well, here's my response to that.
00:03:24.880 I will not be silent. Alberta will not be silent. We will not be pushed around and called traitors for
00:03:31.300 merely having the courage to actually do something about our nations and provinces predicament other
00:03:37.860 than merely indulging in self-righteous tantrums. So who's the traitor now? Mark Carney has completely
00:03:45.320 given into Donald Trump right now. And Danielle Smith was called a traitor for trying to do her job
00:03:50.280 months ago and accomplishing something. Meanwhile, the Canadian economy has suffered. People have lost
00:03:56.120 their jobs and we really don't know the effects of all these tariffs over the last seven months or so.
00:04:02.460 We'll find that out later. But Mark Carney needed the crisis. I did a video on that. He needed the
00:04:07.500 crisis. It led him to the leadership of the Liberal Party. It got him elected. He's failed at the one
00:04:12.500 thing he was elected to do. I did another video more than seven months ago. If you're on Trudeau's Team
00:04:20.320 Canada, you're a damn fool. Well, a lot of politicians followed along with the faux Canadian patriotism,
00:04:25.300 which I called it back then. The subheading of that video was, get off Team Canada, get on Team
00:04:30.340 Danielle Smith. And Danielle Smith has been vindicated. But the crisis is over now and Mark
00:04:35.980 Carney now needs a win. That's why he's doing this. What has happened in the last week that would make
00:04:40.760 him give in? And this is my conclusion. Pierre Polyev got re-elected. And Pierre Polyev is loaded for
00:04:47.320 bear. And once he gets into the House of Commons in question period, it's going to be a freaking blood
00:04:52.000 bath. And this one is the thing that Carney needs to get behind him, the tariff situation with the
00:04:57.500 United States of America. Polyev addressed this just yesterday. And you asked me whether I would
00:05:02.500 have, my goal would be to have tariffs gone on both sides of the border. I would have gone to the
00:05:08.240 president respectfully and said, you remove your tariffs, we remove ours. Let's sign an agreement
00:05:16.320 that restores the great free trading relationship that our two countries had for decades and that
00:05:22.420 work for both nations. That is what Prime Minister Carney promised during the election. And that's
00:05:27.480 what I would have delivered in his place. I have no doubt that if Pierre Polyev were the Prime
00:05:33.940 Minister of the country right now, this tariff issue would have been resolved shortly after the
00:05:37.880 election on April the 28th. We didn't need a central banker to be Prime Minister of this country.
00:05:43.480 We didn't need a businessman to be the Prime Minister of this country. We didn't need a
00:05:49.060 businessman who wants to personally enrich himself by being Prime Minister to be the Prime Minister of
00:05:54.880 this country. What we needed was a politician. And for those of you on the left who think that
00:05:59.940 Pierre Polyev has never had a job, he has. It's being a politician, which is 24-7, 365 days a year.
00:06:08.560 Have you ever spent any considerable amount of time with a politician? It's a freaking hard job. And
00:06:15.080 that's what we needed to resolve this problem. Not somebody who needed a crisis like Mark Carney.
00:06:21.340 Now, what's my surprising conclusion to this? I told you at the beginning, I put all these little
00:06:27.980 pieces together for this video this morning. But I checked the news this morning and I saw this
00:06:32.300 article from Brian Lilly. Mark Carney's elbows disappear, but he's making the right move. And
00:06:38.820 this is the right move. Well done, Mark Carney. But the problem is, you walked out mid-January to
00:06:47.460 declare you're running for the leadership. You should have done this back in January. This is
00:06:52.740 the kind of thing that should have been done months ago. But you use this to your advantage. And now I want
00:06:58.520 to talk to the people who voted for this. I'm not going to call you fools. I'm not going to call you
00:07:02.620 stupid. I'm not going to call you naive. But I'm just going to tell you this. Don't fall for this
00:07:07.640 kind of crap again. The elbows up thing is stupid. It always has been. And instead of voting with your
00:07:15.860 head, you voted with your heart on faux Canadian patriotism. Don't fall for it again if there's another
00:07:23.420 election. And don't fall for it from a liberal standpoint and vote for the party again, which
00:07:29.340 would make it five times in a row. Thanks a lot for watching. I appreciate it. If you like the video,
