00:00:00.000 Carney demonstrated that he's 10 steps ahead of Trump during a recent press conference.
00:00:04.560 Since Trump won the 2024 election, Canada and the United States have been engaged in a costly trade
00:00:10.080 war. A pro-Trump journalist tried to embarrass Carney and frame him as the losing party. However,
00:00:16.480 Carney flipped the script, catching the reporter completely off guard.
00:00:20.320 Carney's got years of experience running banks and large corporations.
00:00:24.320 This is not his first time managing large amounts of money or dealing with difficult
00:00:28.160 people in high positions and it really shows in this response let's listen to what carney had to
00:00:33.600 say right here and then i'll break it down later in the video uh going off a rough translation
00:00:39.520 from earlier question uh you say funding requirements for the streamer's decision
00:00:43.120 wasn't connected to washington but it wasn't an irritant for washington and a change the trump
00:00:47.760 administration wanted uh your government has capitulated on revenue splitting property
00:00:51.600 help bridge digital service tax and removing funding for american streamers what has canada
00:00:57.120 have gotten in return for these concessions.
00:00:58.660 Well, let's do a couple of things.
00:01:00.460 Sorry, I'm going to do a little premise surgery for your question.
00:01:06.040 Let's be clear about the bridge.
00:01:08.840 The bridge, first off, the bridge is open.
00:01:10.580 The bridge is open in a region, a narrow economic region, that has $300 billion of economic
00:01:16.180 activity that goes across land connections between the United States and largely the
00:01:23.100 province of Ontario, $300 billion of economic activity, $6.5 billion cost to that bridge.
00:01:30.880 An agreement that's less than 5% of that amount, less than 5% of that amount, that is then
00:01:39.740 reinvested in support, economic support, for that economic activity to enhance that economic
00:01:45.260 activity.
00:01:46.480 So we put that in perspective.
00:01:50.120 That's being pragmatic and moving forward.
00:01:53.100 and we've got a bridge that's open, we've got opportunities open,
00:01:56.500 and in terms of where we are as a country,
00:02:00.300 we still have the lowest tariff rate of any country on an average basis.
00:02:05.900 We still have north of 80% of our trade, 85% as we speak today,
00:02:10.980 but north of 80% of our trade is tariff-free in the United States,
00:02:14.320 and we're engaged in discussions with them.
00:02:17.220 Now, we're engaged with discussions, working to have a more permanent or more stable, is a better way to put it, nothing's permanent, but a more stable relationship, trading relationship with the U.S. that addresses issues in some of our largest industries and that recognizes the new U.S. approach to trade.
00:02:41.380 So we're starting from a strong position.
00:02:44.400 And I'm going to go back to one other thing, and I'll head back, which I said in my prepared remarks.
00:02:50.060 And we're stronger than we were when this started.
00:02:53.160 We are stronger than when this started.
00:02:56.700 We're growing jobs twice the rate of the U.S.
00:02:59.440 Our FDI is twice the rate of our nearest competitor. 0.51
00:03:02.740 That's the United States.
00:03:04.060 It's twice the rate of the U.S.
00:03:05.000 We're the best country in the world judged for infrastructure investment.
00:03:09.040 We're focused on the right things.
00:03:10.540 affordable housing community uh becoming an energy superpower diversifying everybody wants to do more
00:03:17.420 with canada except the united states everyone wants to do more with canada so we're engaged in
00:03:22.860 all these trade negotiations and we're delivering them and we're on track to have access free trade
00:03:28.060 access to 3 billion consumers carney outlined some of the wins against trump yes trump may have
00:03:33.660 reneged on a deal the obama administration made with canada over a bridge that connects windsor
00:03:38.780 to detroit that happened the original deal was that canada gets 100 of the toll revenues and
00:03:43.820 that's until the bridge is repaid trump ripped up that deal and strong-armed canada into forking over
00:03:49.420 50 of bridge tools but carney still convinced him to open the bridge and it's going to help boost
00:03:54.940 the economies of both canada and the united states if carney didn't budge on the toll revenues trump
00:04:00.380 would have kept the bridge closed and that would hurt both countries economies it may not have been
00:04:05.100 the best deal but it was the best deal that canada could get under the circumstances the loss is
00:04:10.860 actually with trump because now the world knows that a deal with him is not worth anything canada
00:04:16.060 still is one of the best deals with america as most trade is still covered by usmca unfortunately
00:04:21.180 carney hasn't been able to negotiate a zero tariff deal but the deal we have is still better than
00:04:25.500 most countries trump put tariffs on the whole world anyone blaming carney for not getting
00:04:30.460 tariffs reduced to zero, they are being disingenuous. Once Trump is impeached,
00:04:35.020 hopefully soon, Canada can work with the next administration to secure a good deal.
00:04:39.660 Carney has been making trade deals all over the world. While America has pursued a policy of
00:04:44.220 isolationism, Canada has opened the doors for business. For example, Carney worked on
00:04:49.100 strengthening trade relationships with Japan. As the Strait of Hormuz near Iran remains closed
00:04:54.300 and oil shipments are blocked, Canada has begun shipping crude oil to Japan.
00:04:58.620 over time we'll see an even deeper integration between canada and countries beside america
00:05:04.220 carney is leading the way a year ago i would have said that polyev was the right guy to deal with
00:05:09.020 trump but after watching carney closely i now believe he's the right guy his experience as a
00:05:14.540 banker and corporate ceo that's given him the experience to advance canada's interest and
00:05:19.260 stand up to the bully down south the right-wing media will never acknowledge the good things that
00:05:24.460 Kearney has done but take it from a former right winger Kearney is good thanks for tuning in talk
00:05:29.580 to you next time and just a quick reminder this video is made by humans for humans no artificial
00:05:36.140 intelligence here.
