00:00:00.000 You mentioned that Mark Carney will try to run the campaign against Donald Trump.
00:00:04.360 I just want to play this quick clip, Kevin, and get you to react to it.
00:00:08.140 So Mark Carney said that Daniel Smith's endorsement of Pierre Polyev,
00:00:12.080 so Alberta Premier Daniel Smith has come out and endorsed Pierre Polyev.
00:00:15.220 Mark Carney says that that endorsement indicates that Pierre Polyev is aligned with Donald Trump.
00:00:22.060 And so therefore, a vote for Pierre Polyev is a vote for Donald Trump.
00:00:26.320 Let's play that clip and I'll get you to respond to it.
00:00:28.060 With respect to the Premier's comments, I take note of her alignment of Monsieur Poilievre with Mr. Trump and would note that that's one of the decisions that Canadians will have to make,
00:00:48.260 whether they want a government that is unifying but standing up for canada um and is taking
00:00:55.140 focused action to build a better economy or they want division uh and americanism uh and that's 0.92
00:01:01.780 what uh mr poliev seems to be offering and just endorsed by the premier of alberta
00:01:08.420 so what do you make of that kevin
00:01:09.540 you know i find that quite humorous because a strong economy in canada would be based on energy
00:01:20.380 and energy exports and alberta has almost four times the reserves of the entire united states
00:01:28.840 in just oil alone and where do they export it to the united states it's the number one trading
00:01:34.240 partner. So to suggest there would be a good idea to cut that off or not to engage with the largest
00:01:40.080 trading partner during these difficult times would be very foolish. And I think in saying that, 0.96
00:01:46.480 he is actually dividing Canada in negotiations with the U.S. to purchase oil. You may recall,
00:01:52.880 and I'll point this out, Daniel Smith actually was one of the first premiers to go to Washington
00:01:58.800 before the inauguration meet with Trump and has been, I think, rewarded with a 10% tariff
00:02:04.840 proposal, not a 25%.
00:02:07.200 And yet Carney did something that put him back, I think, maybe months, if not years,
00:02:13.160 or maybe in a very unenviable position for Canadians by snubbing the American administration
00:02:19.140 and getting on a plane and going to Europe when the tradition for over 100 years has
00:02:24.140 been to acknowledge the White House the minute an interim prime minister comes into power.
00:02:30.360 That was not missed by the American administration. 0.97
00:02:35.220 They are very unhappy with that, and I think trying to elevate that tension is a very foolish
00:02:40.960 strategy on Carney's part, because as people have learned, whether you like Trump or not,
00:02:47.220 they certainly have got to know him over 12 years, he takes it personally. 0.96
00:02:51.740 foolish if you don't understand that 0.98
