00:00:12.160 donald trump has announced 35 percent tariffs on mark carney and the government of canada

00:00:16.920 all canadians are going to bear the burden of mark carney's mismanagement now you might say

00:00:23.200 it's difficult to negotiate with a chimpanzee sometimes someone as irrational as trump and

00:00:27.860 i get it i i like donald trump but i get that he acts irrationally sometimes and that's tough to

00:00:34.020 negotiate but you know what is harder what makes those negotiations more difficult is when you're

00:00:39.260 on vacation and you refuse to come back to work to deal with a crisis that will cause the

00:00:45.620 de-industrialization of our economy and society 35 percent tariffs are something that you can't just

00:00:53.120 shirk off and shrug off and book a cabinet meeting sometime next week and hope that everything will

00:00:59.560 be okay you take action and you deal with the diplomacy that is on your table you don't put

00:01:06.380 your feet up sip a glass of whiskey and just try to hide see mark carney is hiding keep that in mind

00:01:14.740 even justin trudeau had a more open itinerary than mark carney justin trudeau told us where he is

00:01:21.400 what he's doing mark carney doesn't do that he hides like a fugitive trump dropping this 35 percent

00:01:30.220 tariff bomb on canada and then starting to do press the immediate day after saying that canada has been

00:01:38.100 treating america worse than some of its foes treat america should raise alarm bells for everyone

00:01:44.560 we're going to see uh it was sent yesterday they called i think it was fairly well received but

00:01:56.000 it's what we need so uh we'll see what happens what is your advice to countries worldwide ahead of the

00:02:02.980 upcoming upcoming tariff deadline oh i think just keep working hard you know i've we've been taking

00:02:08.980 advantage of for many many years by countries both both friend and foe and frankly the friends have

00:02:15.040 been worse than the foes in many cases he's talking about a lot of things here most notably the dairy

00:02:20.800 industry which is protectionist for almost no reason other than to protect an elite few and hurts

00:02:26.780 american dairy farmers we're supposed to have a free trade agreement with them but for some reason the

00:02:31.480 dairy farmers get exempted banks get exempted and donald trump isn't standing for that fair enough he's

00:02:37.380 going to put america americans first but what mark carney told us was that he would put canadians

00:02:44.060 first that he would build canada strong and he'd put his elbows up instead he's been putting his feet

00:02:50.540 up and canadians can't have that our country cannot run on banking hours he's calling people to him to his

00:02:58.220 to his cottage he called a first minister's meeting to muskoka now for those of you who don't know what

00:03:03.740 that is it's like kananaskis in alberta but it's even more remote and you have to basically be a

00:03:10.040 billionaire to participate there the office rooms in ottawa are not good enough for mark carney if he

00:03:15.820 can't put his feet up and drink some whiskey while he's pretending to sign fake documents he's just not

00:03:21.480 going to do it and donald trump clearly knows that he sees what is happening he sees who mark carney is

00:03:28.280 and he's negotiating in a way that is going to be very successful for the americans mark carney just

00:03:33.880 wakes up from a midday nap and folds on some basic tax policy that he committed to this this digital

00:03:42.340 services tax he said now you know this is this is a line in the sand for us and then he he woke up from

00:03:47.500 a nap and decided oh okay we'll fold on that and then he went back on vacation donald trump sees this

00:03:52.840 and is laughing at us and it will cause immense pain for all sectors of the canadian economy

00:03:59.440 if mark carney doesn't start deciding to do his job for juno news i'm kian beckstein
