Juno News - Carney CAUGHT hiding food prices at grocery store

00:00:00.000 Hiding the bad news

00:00:06.380 Prime Minister Carney's news conference this week

00:00:09.080 at a grocery store featured him

00:00:10.680 standing in front of some produce

00:00:12.620 and as you can see

00:00:14.340 the embarrassingly high prices

00:00:16.120 of those avocados and apples behind Carney

00:00:18.820 were not on display

00:00:20.180 they were removed ahead of time

00:00:22.760 and the conservatives raised the issue

00:00:24.960 during question period

00:00:26.020 Yesterday the Prime Minister held a photo op

00:00:28.920 at a grocery store in front of food

00:00:30.860 but there was just one thing missing

00:00:35.800 the price tags

00:00:37.460 he had ordered his PMO staff

00:00:39.360 to literally show up early

00:00:41.240 at the grocery store

00:00:42.840 and remove the price tags

00:00:44.100 they're back up today

00:00:44.940 we went and checked

00:00:46.040 and they're really high

00:00:47.380 in fact grocery prices are rising faster in Canada

00:00:50.040 than in any other G7 country

00:00:52.080 twice as fast as in the States

00:00:53.880 twice as fast as when he took office

00:00:56.640 Mr. Speaker the hidden costs

00:00:58.220 that this Prime Minister imposes on inflation

00:01:00.380 will not go away because he tries to take down the price tag

00:01:03.900 why won't he take down the price?

00:01:05.100 The Right Honourable Prime Minister

00:01:08.200 Mr. Speaker, yesterday before I had lunch with the Premier of Ontario

00:01:14.440 I had a long meeting with the Premier of Ontario

00:01:16.640 I would like to introduce the Leader of the Opposition

00:01:19.540 to the Premier of Ontario

00:01:21.440 so he can learn something about cooperation

00:01:24.020 cooperation on housing

00:01:25.220 cooperation on building the best auto sector in the world

00:01:29.080 Well, despite that embarrassment

00:01:31.360 Carney did get some good news

00:01:32.760 the likelihood of a spring election just improved

00:01:35.520 after the release of some surprisingly strong polling numbers

00:01:39.060 for the governing Liberals

00:01:40.220 this headline in the National Post

00:01:42.480 Liberals reached 47% voter support

00:01:46.020 after Carney's Davos

00:01:47.960 China trip Leger Paul

00:01:50.160 Among decided voters

00:01:52.640 the Liberals are up 4 points

00:01:53.940 the Conservatives are up 2 points

00:01:55.940 but 9 points back of the Grits

00:01:57.740 the NDP and Bloc trailing well behind

00:02:00.900 losing support to Carney's Liberals

00:02:03.920 Now that may surprise some

00:02:06.820 considering only 35% of Canadians think

00:02:09.920 the country is headed in the right direction

00:02:11.800 according to abacus polling

00:02:14.200 and if you look at grocery prices

00:02:16.460 housing prices, crime

00:02:19.000 all continue to fester

00:02:20.400 nine months after the election

00:02:21.900 so if so many Canadians are miserable

00:02:25.340 about the state of the country

00:02:26.700 what's behind the Liberal surge?

00:02:29.180 Well, maybe Georgianne Burke has some answers

00:02:31.040 she is a political strategist with Pathway Group

00:02:34.320 Welcome once again, Georgianne 1.00

00:02:36.180 Thank you

00:02:37.180 Okay, so if so many Canadians are unhappy

00:02:39.320 which polls suggest they are

00:02:41.460 thinking that the country is going in the wrong direction

00:02:43.960 how do you explain a number like 47% support

00:02:46.560 that Leger has out there for the Liberals?

00:02:50.120 Well, there's two possibilities

00:02:52.900 one I said to you before is that

00:02:55.160 maybe we need to do a massive national IQ test

00:02:58.540 the other is that the polling company itself

00:03:01.200 might be a little bit skewed on this

00:03:04.900 I'd love to see the sample that they actually reached out to

00:03:07.560 who the people were that they talked to

00:03:09.000 I can tell you that people that I talk to

00:03:12.400 and I don't exclusively by any stretch talk to conservatives

00:03:15.440 I talk to a lot of people from different

00:03:17.280 I talk to a lot of non-political people

00:03:19.120 frankly, just regular ordinary Canadians 0.95

00:03:21.420 who tell me that the prices

00:03:23.360 when they used to go out to eat

00:03:25.360 and get breakfast for like 15 bucks

00:03:27.280 now it costs them 25

00:03:29.020 so they don't go out to breakfast anymore

00:03:31.000 it's too expensive

00:03:33.000 they go to the grocery store

00:03:34.600 they used to pay $100 and come back with

00:03:36.900 you know, three or four decent sized bags

00:03:40.340 now $100 buys them two bags of groceries

00:03:44.540 and the bags aren't bigger

00:03:45.780 they have the same size as they were before

00:03:47.720 so this tells me that people do know that things aren't right

00:03:51.580 I just don't know who they're asking these questions to

00:03:54.720 and if it is Trump derangement syndrome

00:03:56.560 that is driving the response

00:03:58.020 then people really do need to have their IQ tested

00:04:00.260 because that is not a reason

00:04:01.620 to say that this government is doing well

00:04:04.420 because they don't like Donald Trump

00:04:05.700 I don't, that's a complete disconnect to me

00:04:07.520 I don't get it

00:04:08.260 Yeah, we're going to double back to the poll in a minute

00:04:11.860 but you mentioned groceries

00:04:13.260 and we had this incident yesterday

00:04:16.580 well, it was discussed yesterday

00:04:18.400 during question period

00:04:19.780 where Carney did his news conference

00:04:22.920 in front of a grocery, well, in front of a produce

00:04:25.540 I think they were, I think they were apples

00:04:28.100 and avocados

00:04:29.140 Yeah, as a matter of fact, I think they were

00:04:30.580 because they don't want to remind people

00:04:32.980 that they can no longer afford to buy avocados

00:04:35.380 but it was, he was called on it

00:04:38.320 and then naturally he didn't have an answer for it

00:04:40.520 They had, there are no prices on anything

00:04:44.000 but that's because if they saw the prices

00:04:46.260 and they heard what he was saying

00:04:48.300 there would be an automatic like

00:04:49.700 what is he talking about?

00:04:51.340 Doesn't he turn around and look at the prices

00:04:52.600 on the apples behind him

00:04:53.800 and he was out in sort of my old neck of the woods

00:04:58.140 out in the Depean area

00:04:59.240 where I did almost all of my grocery shopping

00:05:01.500 and it's not any more expensive there

00:05:03.380 than it is anywhere else in Ottawa

00:05:04.580 okay

00:05:05.340 so I'm telling you the people all over the city

00:05:08.440 and all over the province

00:05:09.420 and all over the country

00:05:10.280 are paying way more for food than they should

00:05:12.460 and these guys refuse to acknowledge

00:05:15.120 that many of the taxes that were put on

00:05:18.600 for, I would call them ideological taxes

00:05:21.780 for ideological reasons related to climate change

00:05:24.720 and other silly nonsense

00:05:26.720 are the things that are driving costs up

00:05:29.420 it isn't labor costs that are driving costs up anymore

00:05:33.660 it isn't that

00:05:34.840 it's crazy regulations

00:05:37.340 crazy taxes

00:05:39.160 that are making it impossible to do business

00:05:42.000 in a profitable way

00:05:44.300 anymore without raising your prices

00:05:46.760 and people get resentful of

00:05:49.600 you know grocers

00:05:50.300 who are selling food at elevated prices

00:05:52.980 saying oh they're just getting rich on this

00:05:55.820 well

00:05:56.140 I don't know if anybody knows

00:05:57.940 what a narrow margin

00:05:59.460 there is in the grocery business

00:06:01.720 and the restaurant business

00:06:03.020 and all the food businesses

00:06:04.580 it's very narrow margin

00:06:05.680 very labor intensive

00:06:07.520 and they should understand

00:06:10.380 that part of this is caused

00:06:11.880 it's not being caused by the actual people

00:06:14.460 that are running these businesses

00:06:16.040 it's being caused

00:06:16.800 caused by the cost of doing business

00:06:18.820 taxes, regulations

00:06:20.300 and other things that interfere

00:06:21.760 with a free market

00:06:24.020 and we've got 10 months of

00:06:27.180 the liberals doing nothing

00:06:28.600 on crime

00:06:30.060 or the affordability issue

00:06:32.120 just in the last

00:06:32.960 couple of weeks

00:06:34.100 we've had announcements on both

00:06:35.380 on bail reform

00:06:36.940 as well as

00:06:37.760 we saw the

00:06:38.760 GST credits

00:06:40.440 and so

00:06:41.760 you can't help but one

00:06:42.860 something like bribing you

00:06:43.720 with your own money Mark

00:06:44.680 that's what I say

00:06:45.540 exactly

00:06:45.980 yeah

00:06:46.340 someone said putting their hand

00:06:47.640 in your back pocket

00:06:48.360 and putting it into your front pocket

00:06:49.840 I thought that was a very good description

00:06:51.940 yeah

00:06:52.740 exactly

00:06:53.400 but is it an indicator

00:06:55.220 that these guys

00:06:56.040 are thinking

00:06:57.580 election

00:06:58.620 in 20 classes

00:06:59.620 maybe even early

00:07:00.560 in election

00:07:01.060 and if they see a number

00:07:02.060 like 47%

00:07:03.000 they think

00:07:03.400 great

00:07:03.720 you know

00:07:04.240 we're poised to get our

00:07:05.480 desperately needed

00:07:06.840 majority

00:07:07.780 I guess they can't get it

00:07:09.620 by people

00:07:10.940 crossing the floor

00:07:11.820 unless there's going to be

00:07:12.620 some major

00:07:13.140 event happening

00:07:14.420 over the next few weeks

00:07:15.420 in that regard

00:07:16.520 they may not get it

00:07:17.200 in that way

00:07:17.600 and I don't think

00:07:18.560 they can govern

00:07:19.220 without a majority

00:07:21.140 so

00:07:22.160 is this a sign

00:07:23.560 that

00:07:24.400 suggests to you

00:07:25.560 that we could be going

00:07:26.120 to the polls

00:07:26.700 in 2026

00:07:27.880 well

00:07:28.680 if the poll was true

00:07:30.180 and I was the liberal

00:07:31.940 party

00:07:32.580 I would say

00:07:33.120 we ought to get to the polls

00:07:34.060 as soon as possible

00:07:34.840 but I'm not sure

00:07:35.760 that that poll is actually true

00:07:37.080 it might be

00:07:38.100 somewhat true

00:07:39.200 they might be

00:07:39.920 somewhat stronger

00:07:40.760 because of the Davos speech

00:07:42.860 but as soon as people

00:07:43.560 actually

00:07:44.080 think about it

00:07:45.480 they're going to realize

00:07:45.960 how big a mistake

00:07:46.620 the Davos speech was

00:07:47.800 a mistake

00:07:48.820 actually if

00:07:50.380 people haven't had a chance

00:07:51.520 to read Joe Oliver's

00:07:52.660 column that he wrote yesterday

00:07:53.860 I don't remember

00:07:54.900 if it was the National Post

00:07:55.700 or Financial Post

00:07:56.500 it was one or the other

00:07:57.940 a phenomenal discussion

00:08:00.100 of Carney

00:08:01.160 and his government

00:08:02.000 and Davos

00:08:03.140 and a very dispassionate

00:08:05.300 fair

00:08:05.700 even-handed

00:08:06.800 manner

00:08:07.220 as Joe can only do

00:08:09.660 it was written

00:08:11.220 very very well

00:08:12.100 and everyone should read it

00:08:13.100 because you get

00:08:13.800 the real picture

00:08:14.460 but on the topic

00:08:16.240 of an election

00:08:16.860 I think they were hoping

00:08:18.820 that Pierre was going

00:08:20.040 to have a bad time

00:08:20.820 at his convention

00:08:21.920 in Calgary

00:08:23.480 where I am headed

00:08:24.720 at the end of this week

00:08:25.640 I don't think he will

00:08:27.340 I think he'll be just fine

00:08:28.500 so that's going to nix that

00:08:30.140 so now they've got to get real

00:08:31.220 and decide

00:08:31.920 what they're going to do

00:08:33.560 so one of the things

00:08:34.280 they are doing

00:08:34.760 is stealing

00:08:35.600 which liberals

00:08:37.380 are good at

00:08:38.040 some of the ideas

00:08:39.320 that were conservative

00:08:41.200 platform ideas

00:08:42.400 and in their own fashion

00:08:45.660 implementing them

00:08:46.540 and kind of claiming

00:08:47.140 see we did this

00:08:48.180 including getting rid

00:08:50.260 of the consumer

00:08:51.140 part of the carbon tax

00:08:53.020 but not the industrial part

00:08:54.420 which is where the real cost is

00:08:55.720 and a few other things

00:08:58.220 so I do think

00:09:00.100 they're trying to position

00:09:00.920 themselves to say

00:09:01.880 you know

00:09:03.000 the bail reform

00:09:03.940 is a big thing

00:09:05.060 that's a big deal

00:09:05.860 but will they actually

00:09:06.700 do it in a way

00:09:07.380 that's meaningful

00:09:07.920 I don't know

00:09:08.480 I guess we'll have

00:09:09.000 to wait and see

00:09:09.540 they are kind of

00:09:11.840 pushing on

00:09:12.540 some of the bills

00:09:14.320 that they have

00:09:15.000 this foreign

00:09:15.960 interference

00:09:16.860 changes to the

00:09:19.240 foreign interference act 0.51

00:09:20.300 and appointing

00:09:21.620 a foreign interference 0.87

00:09:22.720 czar

00:09:23.620 does that mean

00:09:24.120 they're going to

00:09:25.000 get more or less

00:09:25.780 foreign interference 0.89

00:09:26.520 I haven't figured out

00:09:27.420 which it's going to be

00:09:28.040 under the liberals

00:09:28.640 but they're doing

00:09:31.380 some of these things

00:09:31.940 which sound to me

00:09:32.720 like they're trying

00:09:33.280 to position themselves

00:09:34.060 to say look at

00:09:34.660 what we've accomplished

00:09:35.580 and of course

00:09:37.620 he's basking in the glow

00:09:38.980 of all the

00:09:39.640 hoo-ha

00:09:41.560 about his speech

00:09:42.220 in Davos

00:09:42.700 which in fact

00:09:43.340 was a horribly

00:09:44.240 dangerous speech

00:09:45.120 that he made

00:09:45.700 and I think

00:09:46.600 put Canada

00:09:47.520 at great risk

00:09:48.460 I'm sure there are

00:09:49.960 Canadians that are

00:09:50.540 going to be listening

00:09:50.960 to this and saying

00:09:51.560 oh what does she know

00:09:52.500 we have to stand up

00:09:53.520 against that

00:09:54.000 orange haired monster

00:09:56.200 from south

00:09:57.240 south of us

00:09:58.140 well

00:09:58.700 okay

00:10:00.120 you know

00:10:00.600 you can think

00:10:01.120 that all you want

00:10:01.760 but 70%

00:10:02.620 of the goods

00:10:03.300 that are traded

00:10:04.440 from Canada

00:10:05.480 are traded

00:10:05.980 with the United States

00:10:06.900 if you want to continue

00:10:07.940 to be able to do that

00:10:08.880 you better get

00:10:10.080 into the program

00:10:11.780 and figure out

00:10:12.260 how to play nice

00:10:13.020 with the President

00:10:14.260 of the United States

00:10:15.100 and you heard

00:10:17.500 the comments

00:10:18.040 from Besant

00:10:19.560 Commerce Secretary

00:10:21.220 suggesting

00:10:21.700 office when

00:10:23.280 Carney and

00:10:25.040 the President

00:10:25.720 were having

00:10:26.540 a discussion

00:10:27.140 and that

00:10:27.680 it appeared

00:10:28.620 that Carney

00:10:30.160 was

00:10:30.600 backpedaling

00:10:32.780 a little bit

00:10:33.440 or walking back

00:10:34.740 some of the things

00:10:35.360 that he had said

00:10:36.200 that may have

00:10:37.400 irritated the Americans 1.00

00:10:38.720 suggesting that

00:10:39.920 they were basically

00:10:40.880 bullies

00:10:41.520 pushing around

00:10:42.180 other countries

00:10:42.920 and then of course

00:10:45.560 he had the denial

00:10:46.880 by Carney himself

00:10:48.340 saying oh no

00:10:49.180 you know

00:10:50.000 I simply reiterated

00:10:51.060 my position

00:10:51.860 but isn't it true

00:10:54.200 that the transcripts

00:10:55.580 of those phone calls

00:10:56.440 eventually are made public

00:10:57.500 when the President

00:10:58.980 is talking to

00:11:00.080 a world leader?

00:11:01.880 Let's say

00:11:02.320 they could be

00:11:03.060 if the President

00:11:03.840 was so inclined

00:11:04.720 they definitely

00:11:06.280 have them

00:11:06.860 every single

00:11:07.520 conversation

00:11:08.800 he has

00:11:10.100 of an official nature

00:11:11.080 is taped

00:11:13.140 and is transcribed

00:11:14.680 and there are copies

00:11:15.840 of it all over the place

00:11:16.840 they're not in public

00:11:17.960 now

00:11:18.560 but they could be

00:11:19.400 if he keeps that up

00:11:20.680 and says

00:11:21.120 no I didn't actually

00:11:22.660 say that I didn't mean

00:11:23.840 what I said

00:11:24.400 because the other day

00:11:25.840 I heard him

00:11:26.360 say that he actually

00:11:27.980 meant what he said

00:11:28.720 well the President

00:11:30.360 heard that too

00:11:31.140 especially

00:11:31.580 after he probably

00:11:33.060 told him

00:11:33.480 well I think that

00:11:34.440 you know

00:11:34.780 maybe they're

00:11:35.400 overstating what I was saying

00:11:36.800 I wasn't really talking

00:11:38.020 about the United States

00:11:38.780 I was talking about

00:11:39.300 Russia and China 0.56

00:11:39.920 when I was talking

00:11:40.520 about these great powers

00:11:42.300 that are dangerous

00:11:43.080 I didn't really mean

00:11:44.280 the United States

00:11:45.100 okay whatever

00:11:47.700 meanwhile you went

00:11:49.220 to China

00:11:49.720 you went to Qatar

00:11:50.940 you know

00:11:52.620 two not exactly

00:11:53.820 reliable

00:11:54.480 partners

00:11:55.680 that's

00:11:56.460 and it's interesting

00:11:57.180 because someone says

00:11:57.860 would you say

00:11:58.380 never do any business

00:11:59.620 with either of them

00:12:00.180 no

00:12:00.440 you've got to know

00:12:01.440 what you're dealing with

00:12:02.240 you've got to know

00:12:03.320 who you're dealing with

00:12:04.140 and you've got to have

00:12:04.740 a strong leader

00:12:06.160 who's capable

00:12:07.040 of handling that

00:12:08.120 he is none of the above

00:12:09.620 none of the above

00:12:10.980 I want to ask you

00:12:12.880 about Iran

00:12:13.660 because

00:12:14.600 the numbers

00:12:15.640 that are coming out

00:12:16.360 of there

00:12:16.580 the crackdown

00:12:17.340 are truly horrific

00:12:19.060 and

00:12:20.420 we're hearing numbers

00:12:21.700 like 30,000 people

00:12:23.160 massacred

00:12:24.600 and to my knowledge

00:12:25.660 there has been

00:12:26.220 no statement

00:12:26.860 coming out of our government

00:12:28.300 I mean

00:12:29.580 the Canadian government

00:12:31.520 has had no official statement

00:12:32.740 you're correct

00:12:33.700 how do you account for that

00:12:35.220 well

00:12:37.460 I could be a really nasty person

00:12:39.840 and say that

00:12:40.580 I think they don't

00:12:41.340 that they're on the wrong

00:12:42.960 side of history

00:12:43.700 and that they don't

00:12:44.720 actually care

00:12:45.480 and that they may

00:12:46.680 actually have

00:12:47.600 within their own caucus

00:12:49.100 people who support

00:12:50.000 what's going on there

00:12:50.900 and not from the side

00:12:52.960 of the people

00:12:53.360 who want to get rid

00:12:54.040 of this government

00:12:54.600 but support the moolahs 0.94

00:12:55.800 I could be nasty

00:12:57.580 and say that

00:12:58.140 or I could say

00:12:58.680 they're just incompetent

00:12:59.960 it might be a combination

00:13:01.860 of both

00:13:02.540 it is horrifying

00:13:05.000 to me

00:13:05.500 that

00:13:05.760 they were so quick

00:13:07.780 to condemn Israel

00:13:09.580 for a made up genocide

00:13:11.100 a complete lie

00:13:12.480 but here

00:13:13.460 when you actually have

00:13:14.680 real video

00:13:16.860 real statements

00:13:18.300 coming from real people

00:13:19.220 about what's going on there

00:13:20.100 the number

00:13:20.760 I don't know

00:13:22.240 how accurate the number is

00:13:23.160 you never can be sure

00:13:23.920 but it doesn't matter

00:13:24.660 we know the numbers are large

00:13:25.960 that much we do know

00:13:26.940 and I'm hearing it

00:13:29.120 from people

00:13:29.580 who have family there

00:13:31.020 who are witnessing

00:13:32.020 what's going on

00:13:32.720 in the streets

00:13:33.120 every single day

00:13:34.360 whose child

00:13:36.200 a young 13 year old boy

00:13:37.400 was murdered

00:13:37.900 the other day

00:13:38.620 just murdered

00:13:40.160 in the street

00:13:40.680 by the thug

00:13:43.480 the armed thugs

00:13:44.220 of the moolahs

00:13:44.900 this is what is going on there

00:13:46.380 and that's because

00:13:47.280 the people of Iran

00:13:48.240 are standing up

00:13:49.060 against their government

00:13:50.520 I am assuming

00:13:53.940 and I can be proven wrong

00:13:57.040 on this

00:13:57.400 but I'm assuming

00:13:57.940 that what's happening

00:13:58.560 from the U.S. perspective

00:13:59.900 and based on some statements

00:14:01.700 that the president

00:14:02.360 has made recently

00:14:03.220 that they are

00:14:04.620 practicing

00:14:05.680 what they're going to do

00:14:08.320 they are moving

00:14:09.080 ships into the area

00:14:11.040 which means

00:14:11.900 air carriers

00:14:15.820 and other

00:14:16.740 other military

00:14:18.860 that comes on ships

00:14:20.280 into the area

00:14:21.760 close enough

00:14:22.360 to be able to deal

00:14:23.200 with the situation there

00:14:24.640 and they certainly

00:14:28.560 are planning

00:14:29.360 what they can do

00:14:30.040 if they need to do it

00:14:30.900 his preference

00:14:31.840 would obviously

00:14:32.400 not be to go in

00:14:33.400 and throw bombs

00:14:35.060 on all of the Iran

00:14:35.980 and harm the population

00:14:38.480 and start a whole uproar there

00:14:40.540 he doesn't want to do that

00:14:41.400 that's not his nature

00:14:42.360 he would like it

00:14:43.600 if they would

00:14:44.160 agree to stop

00:14:45.820 their nuclear stuff

00:14:47.180 would agree to

00:14:48.100 release the political prisoners

00:14:49.440 would agree to

00:14:50.640 you know

00:14:51.980 stop the humanitarian

00:14:54.080 the anti-humanitarian

00:14:56.200 behaviors of this government

00:14:57.440 he'd be happy with that

00:14:58.520 but

00:14:59.240 the likelihood

00:15:00.600 of that happening

00:15:01.960 is almost none

00:15:02.740 so

00:15:03.460 the question is

00:15:04.460 what will the U.S. do

00:15:05.520 and I think

00:15:06.080 that they're

00:15:06.680 at a point now

00:15:07.960 where

00:15:09.200 like Maduro

00:15:10.680 he offered Maduro

00:15:11.980 many chances

00:15:12.760 to get out of it

00:15:14.040 without having to get arrested

00:15:15.080 and picked up

00:15:15.660 and removed

00:15:16.240 he declined

00:15:19.100 much like

00:15:20.560 Iran is declining 0.99

00:15:21.740 to be cooperative

00:15:22.720 in negotiations

00:15:23.940 which it means

00:15:25.380 that it's a matter of time

00:15:26.180 before some kind of action

00:15:27.160 is taken

00:15:27.620 people of Iran

00:15:28.920 are being very patient

00:15:30.420 considering how horrible

00:15:32.180 things are

00:15:32.820 my heart breaks

00:15:33.980 for them every day

00:15:34.880 I have a lot of friends

00:15:36.800 in the Iranian community

00:15:37.800 many of whom

00:15:38.860 I've known for many years

00:15:39.700 but many of whom

00:15:40.280 I've gotten to know

00:15:41.180 since October 7th

00:15:42.760 because they are

00:15:43.660 one community

00:15:44.440 that has stood with Israel

00:15:45.840 and the Jewish community

00:15:46.880 because they actually

00:15:47.980 understand the problem

00:15:48.980 they understand it

00:15:50.480 they've lived with it

00:15:51.200 so

00:15:52.320 my heart goes out

00:15:54.060 to them

00:15:54.380 and it breaks

00:15:54.820 to hear

00:15:55.420 the stories

00:15:56.200 that they tell me

00:15:56.920 I hear every day

00:15:58.320 from

00:15:58.740 there are two or three people

00:15:59.680 that are very tuned in

00:16:01.420 and send me stuff

00:16:02.700 every day

00:16:03.260 that they've translated

00:16:04.800 from Farsi

00:16:05.660 for my benefit

00:16:07.140 because I don't know

00:16:07.840 that language

00:16:08.420 to tell me

00:16:09.740 what's going on there

00:16:10.500 and it's pretty horrifying

00:16:11.740 it's pretty horrifying

00:16:13.120 and we've heard nothing

00:16:14.860 from our government

00:16:15.580 not one word

00:16:17.060 not a word

00:16:18.120 I mean

00:16:18.400 I've been scouring

00:16:19.760 the media

00:16:20.440 to find something official

00:16:22.140 and I'm not talking about

00:16:23.020 you know

00:16:23.240 this

00:16:23.420 a random MP

00:16:24.580 at some event

00:16:26.260 saying something nice

00:16:27.220 I'm talking about

00:16:27.880 an official statement

00:16:28.580 for either the minister

00:16:29.740 of foreign affairs

00:16:30.460 or the prime minister

00:16:32.220 nothing

00:16:33.240 zero

00:16:33.900 it's shocking

00:16:35.440 you would think

00:16:36.800 that some of the

00:16:37.320 mainstream media reporters

00:16:38.660 press gaggle

00:16:40.500 would pose that question

00:16:42.220 and nobody has

00:16:43.240 it's like

00:16:44.060 it's not really happening

00:16:45.020 maybe

00:16:45.480 they think

00:16:46.340 that if they don't report it

00:16:47.440 and don't ask questions

00:16:48.360 then for all intents and purposes

00:16:49.800 it doesn't

00:16:50.920 it's not happening

00:16:51.680 I have to get back

00:16:54.060 to the poll

00:16:54.660 and I hate to bounce around

00:16:56.480 like this

00:16:56.980 but

00:16:57.260 one thing that has stood out

00:16:59.120 is that the liberal support

00:17:00.260 they're up four points

00:17:01.380 to 47%

00:17:02.340 if you believe this poll

00:17:03.520 and I understand

00:17:04.080 your skepticism

00:17:04.920 but it's all come

00:17:07.200 at the expense

00:17:07.800 of the bloc

00:17:08.340 and the NDP

00:17:08.860 because the Tories

00:17:09.900 are actually up two

00:17:10.820 they're up two points

00:17:12.340 yeah

00:17:13.040 but they're

00:17:14.100 you know

00:17:14.560 nine points back

00:17:15.800 of the libs

00:17:16.320 what does it tell you

00:17:17.920 that the liberals

00:17:19.080 are sucking up

00:17:20.780 like the left

00:17:22.760 we're almost

00:17:24.480 gravitating towards

00:17:25.880 a two-party system

00:17:27.180 in this country

00:17:28.320 slowly but surely

00:17:29.580 the NDP

00:17:30.880 imploded under

00:17:32.260 Jagmeet Singh

00:17:33.080 the bloc is

00:17:35.380 up and down

00:17:36.380 sometimes

00:17:36.920 depending on

00:17:37.840 sentiment in Quebec

00:17:38.600 but that's where

00:17:40.620 the support is coming from

00:17:41.720 it's not coming from

00:17:42.620 the conservative side

00:17:43.800 any thinking about that

00:17:45.460 well it makes sense to me

00:17:47.300 that the conservative side

00:17:48.240 would not be

00:17:49.020 leaking any support

00:17:51.440 over to the liberals

00:17:52.340 any real conservatives

00:17:53.680 would not

00:17:54.200 and then in fact

00:17:55.560 we know

00:17:56.160 that the younger cohort

00:17:58.240 of voters

00:17:58.760 who have in the past

00:18:00.500 not been very reliable

00:18:01.760 as voters

00:18:02.220 but are becoming more so

00:18:03.300 and I'll point to the United States

00:18:05.000 to show you

00:18:05.480 what can happen

00:18:06.060 when they get activated

00:18:07.160 they were very key

00:18:08.920 to Donald Trump's win

00:18:10.060 in 2024

00:18:11.040 and it hasn't fallen

00:18:13.920 completely out of sight

00:18:15.540 to either side

00:18:17.360 of the equation

00:18:18.300 in Canada

00:18:18.940 both sides know

00:18:20.080 that if that group

00:18:21.220 ever gets activated

00:18:22.120 they can impact

00:18:24.220 the outcome of the election

00:18:25.340 in a very serious way

00:18:26.520 that being said

00:18:28.000 the other parties

00:18:30.720 that are more

00:18:31.860 on the left

00:18:32.740 the bloc

00:18:34.040 and the NDP

00:18:35.280 I won't even talk

00:18:36.960 about the Greens

00:18:37.640 but the bloc

00:18:38.680 and the NDP

00:18:39.160 there was a consolidation

00:18:41.640 of certainly NDP vote

00:18:43.940 in the last election

00:18:44.800 and that's not

00:18:45.380 an unusual phenomenon

00:18:46.460 it's happened before

00:18:47.800 but

00:18:48.860 not to the degree

00:18:51.980 that it was

00:18:52.580 the last time

00:18:53.100 there was a complete collapse

00:18:54.620 of the NDP vote

00:18:55.960 the last time

00:18:56.580 the bloc

00:18:57.600 had a collapse

00:18:59.140 in some places

00:18:59.880 but in other places

00:19:00.680 did really well

00:19:03.020 it's very

00:19:04.180 it's a very

00:19:04.840 I'll be very honest

00:19:06.540 with you

00:19:06.860 I know a lot

00:19:07.400 about Canadian politics

00:19:08.180 I don't understand

00:19:09.560 Quebec at all 1.00

00:19:10.260 I just don't understand it

00:19:11.620 it's so weird

00:19:12.580 and so

00:19:14.640 not predictable

00:19:16.080 I think that

00:19:18.320 in some things

00:19:19.220 the bloc

00:19:19.720 is very much

00:19:20.620 aligned with

00:19:21.140 the conservatives

00:19:21.640 and in other things

00:19:23.240 they're very much

00:19:23.880 aligned with

00:19:24.540 the liberals

00:19:24.980 and

00:19:26.300 that's because

00:19:27.920 they're aligned

00:19:28.480 with themselves

00:19:29.220 and with

00:19:30.100 what they view

00:19:31.480 as Quebec's interest

00:19:32.940 I don't think

00:19:33.400 they're particularly

00:19:34.000 ideological

00:19:34.720 one way

00:19:35.720 or the other

00:19:36.160 they appear

00:19:36.620 to be more

00:19:37.060 left-leaning

00:19:37.660 on some things

00:19:39.140 but really

00:19:40.480 they're quite

00:19:41.360 conservative

00:19:41.840 in other areas

00:19:43.520 so

00:19:44.360 I just don't know

00:19:47.240 where they would

00:19:47.620 end up going

00:19:48.160 their voters

00:19:48.660 I'm not sure

00:19:49.300 their voters

00:19:49.660 would end up

00:19:50.000 going anywhere

00:19:50.480 as a matter of fact

00:19:51.040 it may

00:19:51.620 accrue to their

00:19:52.860 benefit

00:19:53.820 because I think

00:19:54.780 there's a very

00:19:55.360 strong feeling

00:19:56.420 about

00:19:57.200 the government

00:19:59.360 the government

00:20:00.620 incursions

00:20:01.280 interprovincial

00:20:02.060 sovereignty

00:20:03.040 and as they

00:20:04.760 see it

00:20:05.020 national sovereignty

00:20:05.900 in Quebec

00:20:06.600 they want them

00:20:07.720 to stay the hell

00:20:08.280 out

00:20:08.580 and apparently

00:20:09.240 the liberals

00:20:09.880 don't think

00:20:10.440 they need to do

00:20:11.080 that

00:20:11.360 they don't seem

00:20:12.560 to respect that

00:20:13.420 they talk about it

00:20:14.440 but they don't

00:20:14.920 in their actions

00:20:15.580 so it could be

00:20:16.760 a negative thing

00:20:17.440 for them

00:20:17.860 but you are right

00:20:21.560 that this phenomenon

00:20:22.400 of consolidation

00:20:23.340 could continue

00:20:24.900 to the point

00:20:25.980 where we will be

00:20:26.880 a two-party system

00:20:27.620 and I'm going

00:20:27.980 to tell you

00:20:28.460 that my people

00:20:31.780 we have a long

00:20:33.040 history of being

00:20:33.560 prophets

00:20:33.920 so I'm going

00:20:36.100 to take

00:20:36.700 the opportunity

00:20:39.380 to use that

00:20:40.380 prophet status

00:20:41.120 to say

00:20:41.380 I told them

00:20:42.180 in my own party

00:20:43.860 several years ago

00:20:45.300 that we were

00:20:46.280 drifting in the

00:20:47.100 direction of a

00:20:47.960 two-party system

00:20:48.780 and they went

00:20:49.800 oh no

00:20:50.340 that's like

00:20:51.140 the United States

00:20:51.880 and you're just

00:20:52.320 saying that

00:20:52.640 because you're

00:20:52.960 an American

00:20:53.240 I said

00:20:53.540 no I'm saying

00:20:54.120 because it's got

00:20:54.520 two eyes

00:20:55.320 two ears

00:20:56.580 I watch

00:20:57.680 and I listen

00:20:58.200 and I can see

00:20:58.940 what's happening

00:20:59.500 that voters

00:21:01.000 are becoming

00:21:01.900 more

00:21:02.900 more partisan

00:21:05.440 and putting

00:21:07.640 their vote

00:21:08.080 where they think

00:21:08.660 it can win

00:21:09.380 right

00:21:10.320 so people

00:21:11.080 who even

00:21:11.500 though they're

00:21:11.800 not really

00:21:12.440 liberals

00:21:12.820 in the full

00:21:13.820 sense of the word

00:21:14.540 go there

00:21:15.400 because they

00:21:15.860 figure they'll

00:21:16.220 get more

00:21:16.520 of their agenda

00:21:17.120 there than

00:21:17.700 they ever will

00:21:18.200 on the other

00:21:18.600 side

00:21:18.960 right

00:21:20.000 so that's

00:21:21.680 something that

00:21:22.140 you know

00:21:22.500 every party

00:21:23.480 should be aware

00:21:24.020 of

00:21:24.320 and it was

00:21:25.480 no more apparent

00:21:26.460 than it was

00:21:27.000 in this last

00:21:27.700 election

00:21:28.120 when

00:21:28.780 a 42%

00:21:31.040 vote

00:21:31.800 total

00:21:32.380 that we got

00:21:32.960 on the conservative

00:21:33.580 side

00:21:33.960 would have been

00:21:34.580 a gigantic

00:21:35.360 minority

00:21:35.900 in the

00:21:36.160 majority

00:21:36.660 I should say

00:21:37.280 in the

00:21:37.500 pounce

00:21:37.760 gigantic

00:21:38.500 it would have

00:21:39.280 been

00:21:39.460 you know

00:21:39.980 in the

00:21:40.820 Brian Mulroney

00:21:41.860 size

00:21:42.940 of a majority

00:21:44.620 but no

00:21:45.380 that's not

00:21:45.820 what happened

00:21:46.280 as you know

00:21:47.260 and that's

00:21:48.600 because of the

00:21:49.120 collapse of the

00:21:49.900 vote on the

00:21:50.320 other side

00:21:50.840 yeah

00:21:52.280 and it's

00:21:52.740 wild

00:21:53.220 I mean

00:21:53.620 the liberals

00:21:54.120 had 43%

00:21:55.280 and couldn't

00:21:56.020 muster up

00:21:56.560 a majority

00:21:57.160 it's just

00:22:00.120 insane

00:22:00.520 so

00:22:01.580 it's something

00:22:02.800 that I think

00:22:03.220 the parties

00:22:03.580 are going to

00:22:03.820 have to

00:22:04.120 rejig their

00:22:04.740 thinking

00:22:05.080 about how

00:22:05.680 they conduct

00:22:06.560 their elections

00:22:07.100 they're going

00:22:07.380 to have to

00:22:07.660 start thinking

00:22:08.160 the way

00:22:09.100 Americans do

00:22:09.920 about

00:22:10.240 the American

00:22:11.300 political

00:22:11.840 body does

00:22:13.040 about its

00:22:13.520 elections

00:22:13.840 and I will

00:22:14.660 tell you

00:22:15.220 that Canadian 0.98

00:22:16.480 liberals

00:22:17.020 have been

00:22:17.480 using American

00:22:19.080 elections

00:22:22.140 experts

00:22:22.700 for many

00:22:23.600 years

00:22:24.040 and I

00:22:25.400 would

00:22:25.600 suggest

00:22:25.940 that the

00:22:26.520 conservatives

00:22:26.960 don't have

00:22:28.400 to use

00:22:28.700 them for

00:22:28.940 everything

00:22:29.260 but should

00:22:29.600 get some

00:22:29.940 advice

00:22:30.300 about how

00:22:30.720 to run

00:22:31.000 a two-party

00:22:31.500 race

00:22:31.900 because that's

00:22:33.480 pretty much

00:22:33.880 what we're

00:22:34.100 talking about

00:22:34.620 here

00:22:34.760 even if you

00:22:35.600 are in a

00:22:36.140 race with

00:22:36.580 four parties

00:22:37.640 or five

00:22:38.080 parties

00:22:38.480 run it

00:22:39.460 like it's

00:22:39.800 a two-party

00:22:40.320 race

00:22:40.820 yeah

00:22:42.440 it's

00:22:43.000 a different

00:22:44.180 strategy

00:22:44.700 than if

00:22:45.280 you're dealing

00:22:45.560 with a bunch

00:22:47.360 of parties

00:22:47.800 that could 0.68

00:22:48.920 do well

00:22:49.420 I mean

00:22:49.780 the NDP

00:22:50.480 now according

00:22:51.120 to this

00:22:51.400 poll I think

00:22:51.800 they're down

00:22:52.040 to five

00:22:52.440 percent

00:22:52.820 I mean

00:22:53.740 they are

00:22:54.080 basically

00:22:54.500 a fringe

00:22:54.980 party

00:22:55.380 now

00:22:55.720 and I

00:22:56.700 you know

00:22:57.180 a few

00:22:57.920 years ago

00:22:58.340 I would

00:22:58.660 have not

00:22:58.920 had anything

00:22:59.360 nice to

00:22:59.780 say about

00:23:00.120 Don Davies

00:23:00.800 actually still

00:23:01.820 don't

00:23:02.220 but man

00:23:03.100 he was

00:23:03.440 funny at

00:23:03.940 that press

00:23:04.440 gallery

00:23:04.920 roast

00:23:06.540 that they

00:23:06.900 did

00:23:07.180 their annual

00:23:07.980 press

00:23:08.260 gallery

00:23:08.560 event

00:23:08.840 I don't

00:23:09.360 know if

00:23:09.560 you heard

00:23:09.780 his speech

00:23:10.200 but if

00:23:10.460 you didn't

00:23:11.240 look it

00:23:11.760 up

00:23:12.020 it is

00:23:12.420 hilarious

00:23:13.160 and he

00:23:14.360 manages

00:23:14.740 I wish

00:23:15.900 that that

00:23:16.200 was the

00:23:16.420 way the

00:23:16.640 NDP

00:23:16.860 operated

00:23:17.360 all the

00:23:17.660 time

00:23:17.880 he managed

00:23:18.620 to be

00:23:18.900 on no

00:23:19.220 one's

00:23:19.440 side

00:23:19.720 and everyone's

00:23:20.620 side

00:23:20.840 at the

00:23:21.220 same

00:23:21.400 time

00:23:21.780 if you

00:23:22.160 know what

00:23:22.360 I mean

00:23:22.620 just in

00:23:23.260 humor

00:23:23.680 he actually

00:23:25.520 had

00:23:26.000 I think

00:23:27.080 that the

00:23:27.740 conservatives

00:23:28.160 actually took

00:23:29.040 the humor

00:23:29.460 much better

00:23:30.100 than the

00:23:30.420 liberals

00:23:30.680 did

00:23:31.020 even though

00:23:32.040 he was

00:23:32.360 equally

00:23:32.760 hard on

00:23:33.320 all of

00:23:33.640 them

00:23:33.800 but it

00:23:34.100 was

00:23:34.240 quite

00:23:34.940 funny

00:23:35.320 but the

00:23:36.580 NDP

00:23:36.820 is

00:23:37.220 a fair

00:23:37.980 shadow of

00:23:38.480 themselves

00:23:38.780 it's

00:23:39.140 hard to

00:23:39.620 believe

00:23:40.280 actually

00:23:40.780 that they've

00:23:41.660 come so far

00:23:42.220 from the

00:23:42.560 days of

00:23:43.120 you know

00:23:43.680 Ed Broadbent

00:23:44.340 when I came

00:23:44.840 to Canada

00:23:45.280 he was

00:23:45.800 their leader

00:23:46.300 and it

00:23:46.820 was a

00:23:47.060 pretty

00:23:47.220 powerful

00:23:47.600 party

00:23:48.020 yep

00:23:48.800 and then

00:23:50.600 that was

00:23:51.000 Jack Layton

00:23:51.540 when they

00:23:51.840 had

00:23:52.020 106

00:23:52.960 seats

00:23:53.400 under

00:23:53.840 Layton

00:23:54.120 yeah

00:23:54.380 absolutely

00:23:54.840 those days
