00:00:40.980I'm back home in Edmonton to declare my candidacy for leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister of Canada.
00:00:51.980Mark Carney, if he won, would become the first Liberal leader who has never won an actual election anywhere, ever.
00:00:59.000A big part of understanding Mark Carney's momentum among liberals
00:01:03.440starts with understanding how people even know him to begin with
00:01:07.560as the governor of the Bank of Canada,
00:01:09.800named by Stephen Harper's Conservative government
00:01:12.020during the worst economic catastrophe of a generation.
00:01:15.780But today, former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper
00:01:18.920called into question some of those credentials,
00:01:22.000blasting Carney, who he tapped to run the Bank of Canada back in 2008,
00:01:25.940for overstating his role in steering Canada through the global financial crisis.
00:01:31.540In a letter, Harper accused Carney of taking credit for things he had little or nothing to do with back then,
00:01:38.100asserting that the hard calls were made by former finance minister, the late Jim Flaherty.
00:01:43.300At no point did Mark Carney work with Paul Martin to balance the budget.
00:01:49.700At least not according to his own resume.
00:01:51.500I mean, if he wants to call in and say, oh no, I had this secret thing that I've never talked about before
00:01:56.800while I was working for Goldman Sachs and Hong Kong, I did something.
00:02:00.940From no job to one of England's top jobs, Mark Carney, Canada's top banker, is jumping ship.
00:02:06.640Though Carney said for months it wasn't a job he wanted,
00:02:09.500today he announced he is taking over as head of the Bank of England.
00:02:13.120After repeatedly saying he didn't want the job,
00:02:16.000Mark Carney says the decision to move across the pond next summer was the result of soul searching.
00:02:21.100He gets a hero's welcome in Canada for his role with Stephen Harper and Jim Flaherty during the 2008-2009 financial crash.
00:02:30.440He doesn't have the same stellar reputation with everyone in Britain, does he?
00:02:35.780If you're looking at reasons why the British economy is stagnated, why people's income per capita is now lower than Mississippi, which is the poorest state in America,
00:02:47.380I think a lot of the fingers can be pointed at the Bank of England.
00:02:50.320Huge amounts of printing money, too much inflation, diverting resources away from the productive economy.
00:02:57.280But also, Mark Carney had a role in pushing the disastrous net zero agenda, which has been very, very damaging.
00:03:06.320Perhaps with an eye on the future, Carney became vocal on the need for the financial sector to do more to tackle climate change.
00:03:14.240I would say we're in a climate crisis, just like a financial crisis, where action needs to be taken.
00:03:22.200And that will become his focus when he takes up a new post as the United Nations Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance.
00:03:30.660I think government has an important role in setting the direction for the economy.
00:06:33.560The Candace Malcolm Show. I'm your host, Candace Malcolm. Thank you so much for joining us. We
00:06:37.220have a fantastic show lined up for you today. Now, let me start by saying this. Mark Carney
00:06:42.740is now three days away from being selected as the Liberal Prime Minister, despite never winning an
00:06:49.020election in his entire life. He's not a Member of Parliament. He was not elected by the people,
00:06:54.520and he does not have a mandate to lead. And yet, lead he will, without any pushback from the powers
00:07:01.880at B. Carney is a self-proclaimed globalist and elitist, as you just saw. He thinks the planet is
00:07:08.120on fire, and the only way to put out that fire is by capping our natural resource development
00:07:12.780and further taxing and regulating Canadian workers. Mark Carney is a radical ideologue
00:07:18.640dressed up as a respectable banker. But the mask is starting to slip. So despite the legacy media's
00:07:25.940best efforts to prop up their golden boy and refrain from asking him any tough questions
00:07:31.080whatsoever, the more that we learn about Mark Carney, the more that we realize that something
00:07:36.500is not quite right. So today on the show, we're going to walk you through the many examples
00:07:40.960of Mark Carney misleading Canadians, spinning half-truths, getting caught saying different
00:07:46.240things and contradicting themselves in different parts of the country, and saying things that are
00:07:51.180flat out not true. Now, none of this will stop him from becoming Prime Minister on Sunday evening,
00:07:57.320But maybe we can convince enough Canadians to look past the legacy media image of Mark Carney and look at this man with a necessarily skeptical and critical eye.
00:08:09.280And so I want to take this opportunity to promote a live show that we are going to be doing on Sunday evening.
00:08:14.800Sunday evening is a night that Carney will be appointed as prime minister.
00:08:19.100I predict that he will win the leadership race for the Liberals.
00:08:22.400We're going to have a live show. So join me and Kian Bexty.
00:08:26.120We're going to have lots and lots of special guests throughout the evening.
00:08:50.120Sean Newman is host of the Sean Newman podcast, where they discuss issues related to faith,
00:08:54.220family, and the broader Canadian political landscape. Sean, welcome to the show.
00:08:59.160Yeah, thanks for having me back. So, you know, one thing that's happened in the news
00:09:03.940yesterday that I really want to point to is that President Trump has finally understood what is
00:09:10.160happening up in Canada. He finally saw through the game that Justin Trudeau is playing. He hit
00:09:15.600the nail on the head, and this is what he posted onto Truth Social. I wish that he had noticed this
00:09:22.640three months ago. But here he writes on Truth Social. He says, Justin Trudeau of Canada calling
00:09:27.180me to ask what could be done about the tariffs. I told him that many people have died from fentanyl
00:09:31.780that came through the borders of Canada and Mexico. Nothing has convinced me that it has
00:09:36.040stopped. He said that it's gotten better, but I said that's not good enough. It ended in a somewhat
00:09:40.260friendly manner. He was unable to tell me when the Canadian election is taking place, which made me
00:09:46.500curious, like what's going on here? I then realized he is trying to use the issue to stay in power
00:09:53.180Good luck, Justin. Well, it's interesting, Sean, because I don't think that Trudeau has any hope
00:09:59.580of staying in power now. It's a little too late for that. But certainly the liberals are using
00:10:04.080this entire issue to drum up support for their party, to scare Canadians, to divide them, scare
00:10:10.080them, make them feel like we're at some kind of an existential crisis here, and that the only thing
00:10:14.440that can save us is a strong anti-American party, and that is the liberals. So I'm glad that Trump
00:10:20.280noticed it. I'm glad Trump called it out. One of the things that I appreciate about Donald Trump
00:10:24.020is what you see is what you get. So it's like, as soon as this thing occurred to him,
00:10:27.960he puts it out online and lets everyone know what he's thinking. And I think he's completely
00:10:32.300right about this. What do you think? Yeah, well, I mean,
00:10:36.420we got Elaine Duck sitting intending to resign. And I agree with you. I think he's done.
00:10:43.640But the Liberal Party certainly isn't. And they're trying to use this crisis, whatever you want to, what term we want to put on it, certainly to find a way to get Canadians behind a new leader, which certainly looks like it's going to be Mark Carney.
00:11:02.140And they got their bad guy in Donald Trump, right? Like, it's interesting to watch Canadians with Donald Trump.
00:11:08.780you know it's almost like he's our president it's a weird a weird thing right the divide is
00:11:15.440very real you either really enjoy Donald Trump or you despise him and they're playing off the
00:11:22.960people that truly despise Donald Trump and pushing him into you know I think he's been
00:11:29.000pretty clear with the government fix this problem and there'll be no issue and you know has there
00:11:36.320been some work done on that i would say more by the premiers than anything and he isn't happy
00:11:41.640well i don't know i can't sit and act like i sit in these conversations but when when you watch
00:11:47.420what the liberal party is doing and how they're rallying around it and how they're positioning
00:11:50.440everything to be against donald trump in the next election uh we've seen it in the polls which is
00:11:55.460i don't know a bit shocking to me like i i would prefer not to have the liberals there i think
00:12:00.580there's a lot of canadians that would share that sentiment that seems to be the way that uh the
00:12:05.560wind is blowing currently. It's funny that you say that in some ways Trump speaks for us because I
00:12:10.860think the majority of Canadians don't like Trump. They have a negative opinion of him. Even I've
00:12:14.640seen polls that show 50-50 split among Conservative Party voters. Half of them love the guy. Half of
00:12:20.160them hate him. I don't think you can really be neutral about Trump. I think people have
00:12:22.860strong feelings one way or another. And I will say I don't agree with his economic policy. I don't
00:12:28.500like tariffs. I don't think they're a good idea. Look, if the purpose of the tariffs is to get
00:12:32.260Canada clean up its act and start spending more of our GDP on defense spending, crack down on drug
00:12:38.200cartels and illegal immigration, and get rid of a lot of the subsidies and sort of domestic
00:12:43.740protectionism that's been plagued Canada. And conservatives and people like me have been
00:12:49.380criticizing this for like a decade or more that Canada doesn't have, doesn't operate on a free
00:12:53.600market. If the point is to get Canada to do that, then I think it's good policy. But if the point
00:12:59.540is to just eliminate other taxes and live off of this world where tariffs are the new form of
00:13:04.580government, the way that government raises money. I'm not in agreement with him on that. But I will
00:13:10.500just say that I like his optimism. I like the pace at which he moves and his willingness to just
00:13:17.300address issues head on, say what he thinks. And to me, I think that this is all deal making and
00:13:24.420this is all art of the deal. I don't think Trump is an ideologue. I don't think that he has strong
00:13:28.580views on like which policies are the best but he just really likes making deals and i think this is
00:13:34.100kind of the way that he's making a deal what do you think well whether you think is right or wrong
00:13:40.020you know um on how he's going about it the art of the deal is exactly what he's working on
00:13:46.420and the one that he points to over and over again um is peace with russia and ukraine and we saw it
00:13:53.060like i mean we all watched i think if you haven't you really should go take the 49 minutes to watch
00:13:57.940Watch him and Zelensky in the Oval Office go back and forth.
00:14:01.600And he's since basically broke off talks because he doesn't think Zelensky is interested in peace.
00:14:07.680And Trump has said that now for how many months?
00:14:10.880Like, go back to the race up to him becoming president, is that he wants peace.
00:14:17.500And peace means he has to deal with Putin.
00:14:19.240And everybody has their thoughts on Putin as well.
00:14:21.760And so there's a lot going on here that is more than just Canada.
00:14:26.640You know, certainly the tariffs are hurting us, but, like, you know, like, when you look at everything he's trying to do, I see a guy that's trying to get the world away from where it has been, and that is a lot easier said than done.
00:14:44.440You know, here in Canada, we have a whole bunch of things going on that me and you have talked about on my show and your show and on the live stream when you hopped on that we all stare at.
00:14:54.120And we're like, this is, we're just, we're in bizarro land here in Canada.
00:14:57.940And I think Trump is starting, or maybe he's always known,
00:15:01.720but certainly he's starting to play his chips or his cards.
00:15:05.240Like he's beginning to understand how much of a failed state Canada has become
00:15:11.500under a liberal government, under Justin Trudeau specifically.
00:15:15.360And he's definitely rattling the cages.
00:15:17.480And the one thing that I find very interesting about it
00:15:19.740is how much it's dominating the conversation of Canada,
00:15:23.980which, you know, you always, I'm sure you are similar to me,
00:15:27.640that you want more people engaged in politics.
00:15:30.500And when it's quiet and there's nothing going on,
00:15:32.840everyone just goes about their day and cheers for Team Canada
00:15:35.160beating the U.S. in the Four Nations Cup.
00:15:37.200When there's things like booing the national anthem
00:15:39.700and tariffs coming in, tariffs not coming in,
00:15:44.520pointing to the Liberal Party doing this to try and stay in power.
00:15:49.220More and more people are talking about it.
00:15:51.180And that is fascinating to me because I think a lot of us in the independent realm have been trying to wake more and more Canadians up to get them in the conversation.
00:16:00.300Because as I've learned in my brief time in covering politics, it's not a spectator sport.
00:16:09.080You have to start to pay attention to these things.
00:16:11.280Otherwise, the powers that be will continue to rule over us in any way they see fit, which really just pains me sitting on this side, because I think there's a real opportunity for Canadians to grab back not only their small communities, but their provincial governments and their country as a whole.
00:16:32.800And, you know, I guess in short or in long, there's just a lot going on here.
00:16:39.320Well, you're right that Trump is so busy and we're so introspective and we're so obsessed over little things that he said about Canada.
00:16:46.720But then you take a step back and you look at what he's doing domestically, all of his different priorities.
00:16:51.720I mean, he had his joint session, joint speech to the joint session on Tuesday evening and just hearing him go through his agenda.
00:16:58.520You realize like how small and insignificant the Canada issue is to the Americans and how kind of all consuming it is for us here.
00:17:06.760Well, to go back to this idea that it is the art of the deal and in the art of the deal,
00:17:11.840he says, throw your most outrageous claim at the beginning so that the other side gets
00:17:16.340kind of thrown off and then you're more likely to get closer to your side in the negotiation.
00:17:20.980I think that that is what this whole thing is.
00:17:22.860And interestingly, the Bloc-Quebec law leader is coming out and saying this and basically
00:17:28.700saying the same thing that Trump is saying.
00:18:02.960but I don't think he really believes that. In any case, it won't happen. But when Mr. Trudeau
00:18:09.540used that to mobilize Canadians, well, actually, I thought it was somewhat extraordinary that he
00:18:16.020was really trying to mobilize liberals. So that's exactly right. And we did get some good news
00:18:23.060yesterday, Wednesday, March 5th. President Trump's press secretary announced that there will be a
00:18:29.98030-day reprieve from tariffs for automakers under the free trade deal. So spokeswoman Carolyn
00:18:36.760Levitt made that announcement that there will be an exemption for General Motors, Ford, and
00:18:41.960Salantis. So some good news, but again, until we address the underlying issues I think that Trump
00:18:48.500has raised with regards to the border and fentanyl and those operations, Canada's weaknesses that we
00:18:55.100haven't addressed under the Trudeau government, I think that probably they will still be coming.
00:19:00.960I want to show what the premiers are up to as well, because I'm not a big fan of Doug Ford,
00:19:05.860Ontario premier, as you know, because I was on your live stream on election night and you heard
00:19:08.780my criticisms of him there and the audience knows as well. But I think that when he goes on
00:19:14.640President Trump's favorite news channel, Fox News, and appears in an interview with Brett Baer,
00:19:20.040he is doing the job that the Canadian prime minister should be doing, right? We see Justin
00:19:23.180Trudeau going out onto MSNBC and CNN, these left-wing outlets, that you know that no one in
00:19:29.420the Trump administration is watching that. Whereas when you go on Fox News and you talk directly to
00:19:33.920the people, I think this is much more effective. So here is Doug Ford making the case for a greater
00:19:38.840union between Canada and the United States, he calls it AMCAM, and saying that China is the
00:19:43.740problem, not Canada. Let's play that clip. I do not understand why he wants to attack
00:19:49.880his closest friend and his ally. He should be focusing on China. He should be focusing on
00:19:55.360China with the autos that are coming in that don't comply with the USMCA. We're your closest
00:20:04.720allies and friends. We're your largest customer in the world. And we want to build the Amcan
00:20:11.240fortress. That's the best thing to do. As he's focusing on his friends, China's just going,
00:20:17.080moving up every single day so i think that's the most effective message for canada at this point
00:20:23.100what do you think well i was gonna if i can hop back to um the quebec leader first um one of the
00:20:31.020things you know like are the deal or not right uh throwing things out that he's not gonna fall
00:20:36.520through or not one of the the things that i don't think politicians get is by throwing out those
00:20:44.780I started a conversation here that you'd asked me about the first time we talked, you know, like is Kep, you know, is Alberta really interested in independence and et cetera.
00:20:56.820And at the time I was like, you know, like there's a small contingent, you know, kind of thing.
00:21:02.960What Trump has done and what I don't think most Canadian politicians get, and if they do, they certainly don't acknowledge it,
00:21:10.460is that the conversation has begun, and it's begun in a large way.
00:21:15.300We saw Jeffrey Rath talk about leading a delegation down to Washington
00:21:20.820to discuss a deal about Alberta becoming the 51st state.
00:21:25.120Because the first thing that happened in the conversation about Canada becoming the 51st state,
00:21:30.940I can speak for Albertans out here, they went, why the heck would we do that?
00:21:39.180And so you learn real fast out here that the 51st state idea, yeah, like overall, why would Trump want to add in a left-leaning voting demographic?
00:21:51.300That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
00:21:53.640That's going to go more into, let's call it woke world than the way he's pulling.
00:21:59.780So that gets solved in the first conversation we had.
00:22:03.380The next conversation that starts is what would it actually look like if Alberta became independent, became the 51st state?
00:22:11.340And what you find, and I've found since our last chat, is I'm like, holy crap, there's a lot more Albertans that are interested in this idea than I had previously thought.
00:22:32.420It's always underneath kind of the prevailing narrative.
00:22:38.220And what this conversation has sparked is little cracks in it to where Jeffrey Raths, you know,
00:22:45.080clip is going viral all over the place to the point where he's leading, going to lead a delegation down to Washington.
00:22:51.460And I'm told, like, everybody wants on the plane to go.
00:22:54.820That's interesting because if he comes back, just play the scenario.
00:22:58.720Maybe he goes down and talks to nobody, okay, and then he goes nowhere.
00:23:01.300On the flip side, what if they get to talk to somebody and they go, listen, we'll give you, you know, like just from the economics of it, we'll give you the American dollar, just for simple.
00:23:14.880We'll transfer your bank accounts and they'll be all American dollars immediately overnight.
00:23:20.440But like there isn't a person sitting here that isn't going, well, that's like 30% more money in my pocket as I sit right now, just from an economic standpoint.
00:23:29.300And I'm finding more and more, the longer this conversation goes on, the more this conversation is starting to heat up.
00:23:37.440And, you know, if we get in a true all-out trade war with the United States, I can say from the Western side, what's happening is this conversation is picking up steam.
00:23:48.460It's everywhere I go now, it's the conversation of topic.
00:23:51.660And, you know, the politicians can say, oh, we're going to do this and we've got to explore different markets.
00:23:55.920Well, we've been saying this for how long?
00:23:58.220They talk about energy yeast in one breath.
00:24:00.040They're like, oh, maybe we should do that.
00:24:01.220And the next Quebec goes, no, we're never doing that.
00:24:03.480It's like, well, this has been the problem with Canada for a very long time.
00:24:06.620Daniel Smith says we've got to open all the ports.
00:24:08.560If they're going to shut us off, we've got to go.
00:24:10.340We should have been doing that anyways.
00:24:13.000And so I think there's a growing conversation happening here,
00:24:27.760And the longer this goes on, it's only going to grow more.
00:24:30.220If Jeff Rath actually takes a group of people down there and they actually get to sit and talk to somebody within the administration that can sit and be like, well, we could maybe do this and this and this.
00:24:41.280Sure, there's going to be legal ramifications that Canada is not going to want any part of that.
00:24:45.400But from an Alberta citizen standpoint, I think people are interested in hearing what the deal is.
00:24:50.580And does that transform a deal that Canada has to offer Alberta or other provinces?
00:24:55.280I think that's a big part of this conversation that politicians are missing.
00:25:00.540It's super interesting you say that. Yeah. So Rachel Parker had this interview that just completely went viral.
00:25:06.000And all of a sudden, big American accounts like Charlie Kirk were promoting this idea.
00:25:10.660Now, I don't know that a citizen who's a lawyer can actually negotiate on behalf of a province because I have Danielle Smith, who came out pretty strong yesterday.
00:25:19.840I would say this is the strongest language that I've heard from her, saying that basically that Alberta is willing at this point to take measures to go against these tariffs.
00:25:31.320So I want to play first this clip of Danielle Smith yesterday saying that Alberta's trump card, no pun intended, is our oil.
00:25:40.780I also want to point out that Canada has a secret weapon in this trade conflict with the United States, a trump card, so to speak.
00:25:49.840And it is located directly under our feet, and it is called Alberta Energy.
00:25:54.260Whether the U.S. president wishes to admit it or not, the United States not only needs our oil and gas today,
00:26:00.640they are also going to need it more and more with each passing year,
00:26:04.720once they notice their declining domestic reserves and production are wholly insufficient.
00:26:10.680And then further, I'll just play the second clip of Danielle Smith.
00:26:14.160This clip was going viral online yesterday.
00:26:16.660The American account Libs of TikTok shared it.
00:26:19.160But this is Smith, Premier Smith, sounding pretty firm, saying that she has directed her cabinet to ensure that basically Americans are no longer able to pay for procurement.
00:26:29.740They're not able to be involved in no American alcohol will be able to be purchased, no video lottery terminals as well.
00:27:42.260I agree. I'll just go back at that, because when people were criticizing Kevin O'Leary for being an unelected person going down,
00:27:47.640he just said, look, I'm a free citizen. I can do whatever I want.
00:27:50.580But I think that's different than going down to try to negotiate some kind of a annexation.
00:27:57.040Like, I like, yes, you know, there's a there's a percentage of people in Alberta who are interested in this, who want to find out more.
00:28:05.120But I don't think that that gives this delegation any power to start saying, like, this is how it could go and give us the U.S. dollar, et cetera.
00:28:12.840I 100 percent agree. Right. Like, I agree. But our country is weird.
00:28:18.460And I don't know how better to say it, Candace. Daniel Smith, we just showed.
00:28:22.440And I told you this last time, like she became the premier of a province and was never elected to do so.
00:28:30.020Right. She wanted a leadership race after Gammie was pulled out and she became the acting chief of a province.
00:28:37.300We're about to have the same thing happen as a country.
00:28:40.840And I feel the sentiment that is growing more and more and more is that the voices of the public are being heard less and less and less.
00:28:51.620And so they're starting to take things into their own hands.
00:28:54.960So while I agree a delegation going down has no real power to enact anything, okay, they're still free to go have the conversation.
00:29:06.300And they're still free to bring back the information.
00:29:08.800And that information is going to do lots of things that I cannot predict, honestly.
00:29:14.420And, you know, like, yeah, Daniel Smith is talking tough now.
00:29:18.420She's, you know, we're beginning to enter a trade war when you're pulling off things.
00:29:24.340And what's Donald Trump going to do with that?
00:29:28.060The thing I just saw is that he's going to revoke, I forget the number, is it 240,000 or is it 270,000 Ukraine refugees visas into the United States?
00:29:37.700Like this isn't a man that I see taking that lightly.
00:31:35.340And it's hard to predict because Canadians are like we're dealing with this crisis of cost of living, right?
00:31:42.260Young people are being completely blocked out of the housing market.
00:31:45.240Everything is so much more expensive as a result of Trudeau's policies, I can name a few.
00:31:50.580The printing of money and overspending during COVID and beyond.
00:31:54.720Mass immigration has just made everything so much more expensive because there's so many people trying to get houses and there's a limited housing supply.
00:32:02.280and then also of course the carbon tax it just puts extra tax on everything throughout the supply
00:32:06.840chain so all those things together compounding carney's gonna call it a shadow tax he's just
00:32:12.520like you can't except he's literally saying it to all canadians and you're like what is going on
00:32:20.360when it's some common sense in there and i think for a lot of us we just assumed pierre was going
00:32:25.320to get in basically in april that's that's what we assumed a few months ago and so much changed
00:32:30.840since then um my hope is that things are going to change real fast
00:32:38.120how much i put you know i'm not staking my life on that i mean think things could change right like
00:32:44.040if carney all those things happen and then he looks at the polls there's an ipsos poll that
00:32:48.840came out last week that had him two points ahead for the first time in four years a liberal up
00:32:53.000ahead you think maybe they'll trigger an election this is as good as it's going to get carney's in
00:32:57.080his honeymoon period the media refuses to give a critical eye on him and his background his policies
00:33:02.520and his many contradictions maybe he'll go for it but then sean there was another poll that came
00:33:06.680up this week that shows the conservatives are actually way ahead and maybe that's a reflection
00:33:10.840of carny of canadians finally kind of taking a look at this guy and saying well wait a minute
00:33:16.040he didn't do very well in debates he doesn't speak french very well and like we're going to
00:33:21.240go through it later in the show here but there's example after example after example of him
00:33:26.120contradicting himself now i want to get to these election rumors that are swirling around so brian
00:33:30.920lilly who is a senior political correspondent for the toronto sun he's in the know he knows
00:33:36.280everybody and he wrote this on x he says a couple things i'm hearing carney and his new smaller
00:33:42.280cabinet could be sworn in as soon as march 11th or 12th lots of speculation of a quick election
00:33:47.640call i previously said march 16th voting day april 22nd but something a week or two later
00:33:53.640some spooked over bad press for Carney over the past week or so in an internal debate is still
00:33:58.900going on uh over going early or later is raging and then we have Marty up north who was on the
00:34:06.620program earlier this week he writes this on x he shares a text message that he got from somebody
00:34:12.740that says hey Marty just talking with my brother who's a 30-year employee and captain with Air
00:34:17.960Canada looks like we are likely getting a federal election mid-may he says charters have been booked
00:34:23.020and a call-out for crew to fly Air Canada-wide from early April to mid-May.
00:34:27.380He says the only time this happens is for federal elections.
00:34:31.280So, I mean, nothing's probably decided yet, and there's no way to know,
00:34:35.900but it seems like we might be heading towards an election right away,
00:34:40.700which at least would give some legitimacy.
00:34:42.480Now, I don't want to put too much fear out there,
00:34:46.260but the one thing I am worried about for Albertans and for the unity of our country
00:34:51.240If he manages to pull the wool over everyone's eyes, legacy media does what the legacy media does, which is completely whitewash and make him look good in every light and spend all their time criticizing the conservatives.
00:35:02.960And if the liberals managed to win with the record of the past nine years and with Trump offering Alberta possibly something different, I don't know.
00:35:11.560I think at that point it might be a different conversation and more and more Albertans may be willing to hear from that.
00:37:36.440It's the most frustrating thing on this side.
00:37:38.380I hope the polls don't show the sentiment of Eastern Canada.
00:37:42.660I know a lot of people out there. There's a lot of wonderful people. It's just when you look at how the voting is going to go, we all know it here.
00:37:49.100We have to wait and see what that side of the country is going to do. And that's going to dictate where this goes.
00:37:55.580And so when you see the polls start to shift, you're like, there's no way. Like, this can't happen.
00:38:00.500And yet, I thought the same thing, honestly, in 2021. And then it happened.
00:38:05.780And so here we are in 2025. Everyone's like, well, these signs say there's going to be election.
00:44:26.620He's talking about the carbon tax and becoming a shadow carbon tax.
00:44:30.380So we can't criticize it and know what it's doing.
00:44:33.840Right? Like, it's just, everyone can see, I don't even have the words anymore of how frustrated I am that we're sitting here into 2025, we don't know when an election is coming. The fact that it was an American, I mean, Brian Lilley pointed it out, but I argued with an American over it because I didn't think it was possible to push an election to 2026.
00:45:24.540But our country as a whole, you know, to keep it united, to try and keep it as Canada, you know, you can't have four more years of Kearney.
00:45:33.180That is an insane, I can't put as many exclamation points behind that word, idea.
00:45:44.200I think that we're turning some dangerous territories.
00:45:47.180And, I mean, the list is growing, Sean, of the examples of Kearney just flat out contradicting himself.
00:45:52.660I don't want to belabor this too much.
00:45:54.180We've covered it on the show. So in early February, Mark Carney is out in Kelowna, British Columbia, speaking to supporters, and he says that they are going to do everything they can to accelerate major critical infrastructure projects like pipelines, even use the emergency powers if necessary.
00:46:10.820And then just like two days later, he's on French CBC saying that he would never do that. He would never force a pipeline on Quebec. Never, never, never. Total contradiction. Media is OK with that.
00:46:20.020Next, he said that he was offered a cabinet position in the Harper government, that Harper tried to recruit him as finance minister.
00:46:27.120Well, Harper's former director of communications, Dmitry Soudis, basically just said that didn't happen.
00:46:32.460OK, so, you know, yet another example of Mark Carney exaggerating.
00:46:37.360Then he says that he he claimed that he was one that came and helped Paul Martin, prime minister, liberal prime minister, balance the budget, the budget that was balanced all the way back in 1995.
00:46:47.580Well, it turns out he didn't even live in Canada at that point.
00:46:50.040He lived in Hong Kong working for Goldman Sachs.
00:46:52.360OK, he didn't come back and he didn't start working for the Canadian Civil Service until the very, very, very end of Paul Martin's time in office.
00:47:02.040Next slide, he says that he had resigned from all of his positions, all of his board positions.
00:47:07.780He says, I have resigned from all of my board positions full stop.
00:47:14.540I think we have a little clip of that. Let's play that.
00:47:17.180I have resigned all my positions. I've resigned all my positions. Full stop. All in for Canada.
00:47:29.640Full stop. All in for Canada. Whoops. A few days later, the National Post is reporting
00:47:34.340that it's not actually the case, that they spoke with numerous organizations that Carney had been
00:47:40.060affiliated with, and that he remains involved in at least five of these different organizations,
00:47:46.460Juno News follows up and points out that, for instance, Mark Carney's name and face was still active on a group called the Global Carbon Marketing Utilities page.
00:47:57.640Mark Carney was still listed as a co-chair of that organization up until the weekend.
00:48:02.700I think after we put our story up, they tried to take that down and wipe it.
00:48:06.440But again, examples of him not doing what he says, you know, just this is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:48:13.260He also said, of course, the sort of the most famous example at this point of him just not being honest with Canadians.
00:48:19.420He said that he had nothing to do with Brookfield Asset Management's decision to leave Canada and relocate to the United States.
00:48:26.260And yet we found out that he actually wrote a letter urging shareholders to vote in favor of it.
00:48:32.080And the only reason he wasn't there was just a technicality because a technical vote happened a few days after he had resigned.
00:48:38.080But basically the decision was already made.
00:48:40.820I mean, again, like there's just nonstop.
00:48:42.980He was out there claiming that Canada supplies almost all of the semiconductors to the United States, saying that we do.
00:48:48.540The vast majority, it turns out, were like a very, very small percentage of it.
00:48:52.340He said that he helped save Canada during the financial crisis in 2008.
00:48:56.740And Stephen Harper, the prime minister, came out quite strongly and basically accused him of taking credit for the late Jim Flaherty and the role that Jim Flaherty paid.
00:49:07.280He's the one that made the tough choices, the tough calls.
00:49:09.920Mark Carney was lurking in the background.
00:49:11.280But to say that Mark Carney was the one that saved Canada is absolutely insulting to the
00:49:16.580conservatives who did the hard work, who made the tough decisions, who had to face an electorate
00:49:20.940that wasn't necessarily happy about this.
00:49:23.640So Carney just has this crazy habit of taking credit for all kinds of things that it turns
00:53:14.280I have a feeling that you're right. I think that there is some interest in Mark Kearney and that the polls are starting to pick that up because because he's new and because he's painted as this person who comes into crises and fixes things. Right.
00:53:27.120And I think that on a surface level, Canadians, especially older Canadians who still are plugged in, unfortunately, to CBC and legacy media, they have that impression.
00:53:36.100But when you look beyond that and you see the issues facing Canadians, like just this issue of immigration in the GTA, like I don't talk to anybody from any community, right?
00:53:46.660Even immigrant communities, even people who came themselves or first generation Canadians, they don't like what they see.
00:53:53.420They don't like what has happened under the Trudeau liberals.
00:53:56.340And I think that that is something that remains incredibly strong.
00:54:00.360Now, Sean, we're going to continue this conversation over at JunoNews.com.
00:54:04.540We're going to cut off the show on X, on YouTube, and on Facebook.
00:54:08.580And for everyone who wants to come on and hear the rest of the show,
00:54:11.860we're going to talk about some spicy issues, including the latest with the transgender issue,
00:54:16.860which seems to be totally different in the United States than is in Canada.
00:54:19.820It's like Canada is still stuck in this woke dystopia
00:54:23.040while the Americans have finally moved back towards common sense.
00:54:26.200So we're going to continue that all over at JunoNews.com.
