Mark Carney takes aim at the two most powerful premiers in the country and mocks them at a campaign event in British Columbia. This is classless, arrogant, and completely out of character for a Prime Minister who is supposed to be a statesman.

00:00:00.000 Look, I think it's pretty obvious at this point that Canada is not in a position to even cause a dent in the American economy, right?
00:00:08.180 The American economy is just so much bigger.
00:00:10.120 There's so much more going on over there.
00:00:11.760 We are so much more dependent on the Americans than vice versa. 0.86
00:00:14.740 Mark Carney going on as if that's not the case.
00:00:17.740 And while he was speaking at a campaign event in British Columbia, this is so classless, so arrogant, but he starts taking aim at the conservative premiers, right?
00:00:27.140 Doug Ford and Daniel Smith, who potentially should be his allies, right? His allies in trying to
00:00:32.680 negotiate with President Trump, trying to understand President Trump, trying to speak
00:00:37.000 in a language that might resonate with President Trump. You would think that the conservative
00:00:41.100 premiers in Ontario and Alberta would be his allies. Instead, he's out there at a campaign
00:00:46.040 event, mocking them, making fun of them, and just completely acting with no class. Let's play that
00:00:52.660 clip. We're fighting the Americans in the pocketbook. We have retaliatory tariffs on them. 0.99
00:00:57.140 We just hit them again in the auto sector.
00:01:00.140 We're fighting them on Fox News, which is what they understand.
00:01:06.140 We're sending Doug Ford onto Fox News to show them
00:01:11.140 that we're not messing around up here.
00:01:16.140 And we're going to send Danielle next.
00:01:18.140 No, maybe we won't send Danielle.
00:01:21.140 Maybe we won't. We won't send Danielle.
00:01:24.140 I'm going to keep her.
00:01:26.140 No.
00:01:27.140 Keep her, no. 0.99
00:01:28.140 That was a bad idea.
00:01:29.140 Strike that.
00:01:30.140 Strike that.
00:01:31.140 Ignore that back there.
00:01:33.140 So first of all, Mark Carney, don't quit your day job.
00:01:36.140 You're not a stand-up comedian.
00:01:37.140 Not very funny, even though the room loves it and is laughing and jeering.
00:01:40.140 But really, you are the prime minister of Canada.
00:01:42.140 You're supposed to be acting like a statesman.
00:01:44.140 Especially at this point when you're basically just a caretaker prime minister.
00:01:47.140 You haven't received a mandate from the country.
00:01:49.140 You're not even an elected member of parliament.
00:01:51.140 And there you are mocking and making fun of the elected leaders of the two most powerful provinces in the country.
