00:00:00.000 Renewed isn't quite what Mark Carney said that he would be able to achieve during the election when he said he was the guy with the magic wand that could fix all of this.

00:00:08.880 Conservative MP Andrew Scheer just ripped apart Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney during a recent interview with CBC.

00:00:15.720 Carney is under a lot of fire from Conservatives and even the American president for a recent deal he made with Communist China.

00:00:21.940 Now Scheer is the former leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.

00:00:24.960 He's been in politics for a while, so he has a lot of experience criticizing liberal policies and dealing with woke journalists.

00:00:31.440 Let's listen to what he had to say right here.

00:00:33.300 Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer joins me now from Regina. Nice to see you, sir. Thanks for coming on.

00:00:38.420 Thanks for having me.

00:00:39.400 So you heard the Prime Minister's speech in Davos.

00:00:41.640 He said the old order is not coming back and he encouraged middle powers like Canada to bend together in the face of coercion from great powers.

00:00:50.800 Do you agree with Carney's assessment that this long-standing U.S.-led, rules-based international order is over?

00:00:59.160 Well, there's no doubt that President Trump is dramatically changing the nature of global affairs

00:01:05.060 and talking to historic allies in a much more aggressive and in some cases hostile way.

00:01:11.380 But what was frustrating about that speech is that it came on the heels of a visit by Prime Minister Carney to China,

00:01:19.720 where he talked about establishing a new world order with a communist regime.

00:01:24.220 And Scheer made some great points right here.

00:01:26.640 Carney going over to a communist country and announcing the beginning of a new world order, 0.85

00:01:31.680 that's not going to win anybody over on our side.

00:01:34.500 Of course, conservatives by their very name like to conserve.

00:01:39.160 So they're not going to be open to this frightening, scary idea of a quote-unquote new world order.

00:01:45.920 Now, I have a theory on why Carney used that exact term,

00:01:49.940 and I have a theory on why he said that, but we'll get into that later in the video.

00:01:53.620 First, let's see what Andrew Scheer had to say.

00:01:56.100 But before we get into this, I want to remind you of being heavily censored around YouTube.

00:01:59.680 If you see this part of the video, let me know in the comment section,

00:02:02.220 tell me what city you're from, give me a like, and make sure you're still subscribed.

00:02:06.680 Thanks.

00:02:07.540 All right, let's watch Andrew Scheer ruin Carney's career.

00:02:10.800 This is a country that he referred to as a national security,

00:02:14.080 the largest national security threat facing Canada.

00:02:16.380 So even within his own speech, Mark Carney in that speech,

00:02:19.900 called on middle powers to band together and not try to curry favor with one of the powerful countries

00:02:26.120 because those powerful countries will just pick us off one at a time.

00:02:30.020 Literally, after just a few days, doing exactly what he warned against

00:02:34.160 with the communist regime in Beijing.

00:02:36.980 So, you know, when you look at what our leader, Pierre Polly, was pointing out is that

00:02:41.020 if you didn't know anything about Mark Carney and you read that speech, great.

00:02:44.560 But when you look at his track record, when you look at what he's actually done

00:02:47.460 since becoming prime minister, the affordability crisis is worse.

00:02:50.580 Food inflation is worse.

00:02:51.680 We still haven't got a major project through the major projects office that he said would

00:02:56.340 move at unimaginable speeds.

00:02:58.400 So, you know, we're almost a year into his term.

00:03:00.880 Pitter patter, let's get at her. 1.00

00:03:02.300 Let's actually do the things that will help this economy.

00:03:04.920 Remove liberal legislation that blocked development.

00:03:07.700 Stop the inflationary deficits that drive up the cost of food.

00:03:11.080 People can't eat speeches and empty rhetoric isn't very nutritious.

00:03:14.620 So let's actually do the things, not just talk about the things.

00:03:17.620 On China, though, you have to admit farmers in your province are pretty happy,

00:03:21.980 at least the canola ones, about what he was able to get out of Beijing.

00:03:25.280 Are you saying that he should not have concocted a deal at all with Xi?

00:03:28.500 He should have just left it as it was?

00:03:30.440 Well, this is a very interesting point.

00:03:31.980 There's a lot of confusion among canola growers right now because the only thing we have

00:03:35.900 is Mark Carney's statement where he says he expects tariffs to be reduced to 15%,

00:03:41.500 not zero, which is what we had under the conservative government.

00:03:44.920 But that he expects them to be lowered by the end of March

00:03:48.880 and that he expects them to stay off for at least a year.

00:03:51.880 Well, that's not quite the full removal permanently on tariffs on canola.

00:03:56.340 It seems the deal that he's just made is very certain and clear on what China gets, 0.79

00:04:02.020 but uncertain and unclear on what Canada gets in return.

00:04:05.860 Once again, more great points by Scheer.

00:04:08.080 Now, as promised, this is the part where Scheer completely ruins Mark Carney.

00:04:12.460 Listen up.

00:04:12.900 It's also frustrating that Canada had leverage that it didn't use.

00:04:18.760 Mark Carney had leverage that he just left on the table.

00:04:22.060 This government gave a billion-dollar loan, guaranteed loan,

00:04:26.140 basically a taxpayer gift to a Chinese company to build ferries for British Columbia.

00:04:31.220 That was a bargaining chip that Carney chose not to use.

00:04:34.840 We have what China needs. 0.93

00:04:36.080 They need to feed their people. 0.76

00:04:37.400 They need to fuel their economy.

00:04:38.400 They can't get by without what Canada has.

00:04:41.180 So, you know, to sign a deal like that, with all that uncertainty about what it actually means for canola producers,

00:04:46.820 the fact that they're not 0% tariffs, the fact that they're not permanently renewed,

00:04:50.460 isn't quite what Mark Carney said that he would be able to achieve during the election

00:04:54.400 when he said he was the guy with the magic wand that could fix all of this.

00:04:58.760 And sure is 100% right.

00:05:01.040 Carney misled Canadians.

00:05:02.680 He sold himself on this master negotiator,

00:05:05.340 someone who was uniquely qualified to get a deal with Donald Trump and with the leaders of other countries.

00:05:10.480 And as you've seen in recent times, Carney hasn't been giving us the best deals, to say the least.

00:05:16.500 And if conservatives really want to nail him during the next election, they can use that against him.

00:05:21.520 That's a great talking point.

00:05:22.880 Now, if Trump goes through with his recent threats of tariffing Canada at 100%, that's going to hurt Carney.

00:05:29.080 But the good news for us is that it'll help us in the long term.

00:05:32.340 Unfortunately for us, I don't think Trump and Carney are going to get a deal.

00:05:36.140 Based on what I'm seeing, I just don't think that's going to happen.

00:05:39.180 But anyway, let's listen to what Shira has to say, and then I'm going to give you some more points at the end.

00:05:43.340 You and Trump are aligned on one thing at least, sir, and that is this China question he just posted on True Social not too long ago about Carney saying Carney voted in favor of doing business with China, who will eat them up within the first year.

00:05:57.500 We also know Trump was not a huge fan of what the prime minister said in his speech in Davos.

00:06:03.200 He said that, you know, we're not very grateful to the United States in terms of the military support that they provide, that Canada lives because of the United States.

00:06:13.620 What's your take on how this has gone?

00:06:15.860 Do you think that it was wise for Carney to rankle the president, or is it important for us to branch out and really take a stand as to what this country is standing for in this tumultuous era?

00:06:25.760 Well, I know that Mark Carney would love to always have this conversation in the framing against Donald Trump, but it's conservatives who are aligned with Canadians about being very cautious with how Canada deals with China.

00:06:39.440 Canadians don't appreciate when our citizens are imprisoned illegally like the two Michaels faced.

00:06:44.660 Canadians don't like it when the Chinese embassies open up illegal police stations across the country that intimidate and harass Canadian citizens.

00:06:52.240 Canadians don't like it when the communist regime interferes in our election.

00:06:57.620 And as it relates to diplomatic relations and trading relationships, conservatives have always believed that we need to diversify our trading relationships.

00:07:07.420 That's why the previous conservative government signed dozens of free trade deals all over the world, South America, Europe, Asia, all to make sure that we were not too dependent on the United States.

00:07:18.380 What Mark Carney's liberal policies have done is made us more dependent by canceling big energy projects, making it so that the U.S. continues to be our most important customer on energy, by imposing an industrial carbon tax on Canadian manufacturers, something that American manufacturers don't face, hurting our ability to export products around the world.

00:07:38.540 And again, we're about a year into Mark Carney's mandate.

00:07:43.080 What's he actually done?

00:07:44.740 What's he actually accomplished?

00:07:46.660 He's got a major projects list that none of them have actually proceeded.

00:07:51.680 He promised to solve these tariff deals.

00:07:54.080 He promised a deal on U.S. tariffs by the end of July.

00:07:56.780 And he called the communist regime in Beijing the most serious national security threat facing Canada.

00:08:03.880 And then he goes and talks about a new world order and strengthening cooperation.

00:08:08.840 I think Canadians have a lot of, rightfully have a lot of questions about what that means for our economy, for our national security interests.

00:08:15.200 I mean, I guess the prime minister would say he has signed that deal with China.

00:08:18.580 There's been other arrangements with Europe.

00:08:20.680 Indonesia got a free trade deal.

00:08:22.480 There has been some progress on some of these trade files.

00:08:24.900 And we actually saw some news from the Globe and Mail today that traffic through the port of Montreal is way up as trade with Europe is actually at a level it hasn't been in a long time.

00:08:34.540 So he would point to that as some points of success.

00:08:37.320 But I take your point about maybe there needs to be more done.

00:08:40.760 And one thing that you are proposing in your party is this Canadian Sovereignty Act.

00:08:44.880 You're going to table it in the House next week.

00:08:47.200 Tell me what's in that legislation and what your party hopes it will do to help Canada as we grapple with these changes right now.

00:08:53.300 Yeah, well, thanks very much for that question.

00:08:55.720 Just very quickly, though, some of the things you mentioned are MOUs, you know, preliminary agreements, not actually implementation of actual deals.

00:09:03.940 But on the Canada Sovereignty Act that our leader is proposing, there's a lot of great stuff in there.

00:09:09.420 It's fantastic.

00:09:10.560 And if Liberals had to listen to us years ago, we wouldn't likely even be having this nature of a conversation right now.

00:09:16.600 What we're calling for is, first of all, for the Liberal government to remove those Liberal laws, like the ban on West Coast oil and gas shipping, the No More Pipelines Act.

00:09:27.200 We're calling on them to remove that industrial carbon tax that adds huge layers of costs on our manufacturers.

00:09:33.100 It also helps drive up the cost of food.

00:09:36.000 Farm equipment, food processing, fertilizer, all gets more expensive when that industrial carbon tax keeps going up.

00:09:43.200 We're calling on the government to abandon their plans for the fuel standards tax.

00:09:46.980 That's going to add about 17 cents a litre.

00:09:49.560 So in addition to removing bad Liberal laws, we're also proposing wonderful Conservative ideas to kickstart the economy to really provide some rocket fuel.

00:09:57.800 Like, we're calling on the government to implement a capital gains tax exemption when those capital gains are reinvested in the economy.

00:10:06.340 We hear this from coast to coast, from small businesses to large businesses.

00:10:10.580 Access to capital is very difficult to find in Canada.

00:10:13.740 A lot of that investment dollars flows to the United States after 10 years of Liberal government.

00:10:17.900 So what we're saying is, if a Canadian invests in Canada, let's make that capital gain tax-free.

00:10:23.500 That's going to open up a huge pool of capital to really kickstart, provide some rocket fuel to our economy, see those jobs numbers go up again.

00:10:31.260 So that's just a sample of what we're calling on the government to do our first week back in Parliament.

00:10:36.580 It's just another example of how Conservative solutions are concrete and real, in stark contrast to the rhetoric we see from Carney and the Liberals.

00:10:43.260 Speaking of job numbers, Conservative leader Pierre Polyev will face potentially a leadership review.

00:10:48.540 We know members will be voting next week in Calgary about whether to have a leadership review, whether to continue with Pierre Polyev.

00:10:55.720 There's been a lot of talk in this town, Andrew, I'm sure you know, about percentage points and what figure Polyev needs to get to keep his job after that vote in Calgary.

00:11:04.820 What is the percentage that's going through your mind?

00:11:07.400 What would you like to see him achieve from members?

00:11:10.080 Look, I just want a great result.

00:11:13.780 Our caucuses united, we're focused.

00:11:15.800 Our members realize what happened in the last few years.

00:11:19.160 Pierre Polyev was the first person to raise the alarm bell on inflation.

00:11:23.440 He was the only one.

00:11:24.360 In fact, many of the Liberal experts completely disregarded that issue.

00:11:29.120 He was right about that.

00:11:30.040 He's the only one talking about the cost of living crisis.

00:11:33.180 Grocery inflation in Canada is higher than any other G7 country.

00:11:39.100 People are still struggling just to provide the basic necessities of life, and Pierre is their champion.

00:11:44.560 I believe our members see that in him.

00:11:46.080 They see the historic gains we made in the last election.

00:11:48.480 Over 40% of the vote.

00:11:50.860 New seats that we've won in regions in this country that Conservatives had never won before.

00:11:55.160 New voters.

00:11:55.940 I expect we're going to see a lot of people at conventions that have never been to a political convention before and may have voted for the first time in the last election because of Pierre Polyev's inspiration.

00:12:04.960 So, we have some work to do.

00:12:06.640 We're not quite where we want it to be.

00:12:09.320 But what we need to do is build on that success, and I'm confident that members are going to see that in Pierre, and we'll see what happens in Calgary.

00:12:17.320 But optimistic.

00:12:18.380 Like I've said before, there is zero doubt in my mind that Polyev will remain the leader of the Conservative Party and eventually become the next Prime Minister of Canada.

00:12:27.060 I've been saying that for a while now, and I'm not going to budge on it.

00:12:30.880 I don't care what anybody says, even on our side.

00:12:33.720 Polyev is going to stick around, and he will win.

00:12:36.600 We just have to let him cook a little bit.

00:12:38.600 And that's not just my opinion.

00:12:40.300 When you look at the polls, a recent poll by Abacus Data, 72% of Conservatives want Polyev to remain on as leader.

00:12:46.840 So, he's not going anywhere, and the left can go cry about it.

00:12:51.260 But I'll be the first to point out that Polyev's path to victory, even though I think it will happen, is not going to be easy. 0.76

00:12:57.800 One of the biggest challenges that Polyev faces right now is Donald Trump.

00:13:01.560 Now, I don't care what anyone says.

00:13:03.040 I don't care whether you like it or not.

00:13:04.660 The majority of Canadians are very upset with Donald Trump right now.

00:13:08.280 They're upset with what happened with Greenland, and they're also upset with what's happening in Minnesota right now.

00:13:13.180 Perhaps, ironically, the biggest obstacle to Pierre Polyev winning is Donald Trump.

00:13:18.180 Most Canadians are very upset with Donald Trump, and they still view Carney as the right person to deal with him.

00:13:23.860 I'm not saying that's what I believe.

00:13:25.380 That's just what the majority of Canadians believe.

00:13:27.520 And as long as Trump continues to behave badly by threatening to invade Greenland or sending the military on his own people,

00:13:35.220 Conservatives are going to have a hard time winning a majority.

00:13:38.080 And that's just the way it is.

00:13:39.180 That being said, I'm still 100% confident in Polyev and his ability to win the next election.

00:13:44.340 However, he's going to need a good team, and he has to be very careful how he plays his cards, especially in the next few months.

00:13:51.460 I'm going to put some talking points out there.

00:13:52.900 Whether the Conservatives, activists, choose to use them, that's up to them.

00:13:56.620 One thing you can really nail a card on was the fact that during the debates, he said that China was the biggest threat to Canada.

00:14:02.720 It hasn't even been a year, and it seems that Carney has done a complete 180 on that one.

00:14:07.420 And I think Conservatives can also fairly call out Carney for overselling his ability to deal with Donald Trump.

00:14:13.920 I think there's a clear difference between what he sold Canadians and what Canadians actually got during trade negotiations, or lack thereof.

00:14:21.380 The narrative that many Conservative influencers are peddling, that Carney is somehow getting into bed with China, that's not entirely accurate, and pushing that is not going to win over voters to our side.

00:14:31.760 I want to make it clear that nobody, including Carney, is saying that they endorse the actions of the Chinese government, or that Canada should allow China to annex us and make us part of their country.

00:14:42.520 Nobody is saying that.

00:14:43.720 Really, all that happened in China was that Carney was opening the door for China to sell EVs in our country in exchange for the Chinese government to reduce tariffs on our canola products.

00:14:54.260 That's really all that happened.

00:14:55.560 Back to Carney's comments on the New World Order.

00:14:58.600 My interpretation, and this is just speculative, is I think he was trolling.

00:15:02.580 He knows that those words really get a rise out of people, and I think that's why he used them.

00:15:07.020 I'm not necessarily saying that to defend Carney.

00:15:09.520 I just want my viewers to have good information.

00:15:11.940 So rest assured, Canada is not a threat of being annexed by China.

00:15:16.360 But whatever happens, I'm still 100% confident that Polyev will be the next Prime Minister of Canada, and if we're lucky, it could happen soon.

00:15:23.300 So just hang in there.

00:15:25.040 Have a little bit of patience.

00:15:26.320 Have a little bit of faith.

00:15:27.460 We're going to win, and we're going to win big.

00:15:29.560 Talk to you soon, Patriots.
