00:00:00.000 Okay, this is wild. Donald Trump just slapped new tariffs on Canada. And the crazy part isn't the
00:00:05.500 tariffs themselves, it's how we got here. Because it wasn't just the Americans, it was our own so-called
00:00:12.020 leaders, the elites at the top selling us out again. So here's what happened. Doug Ford's
00:00:17.240 government blew $75 million of Ontario taxpayer money on a TV ad campaign to air in the United
00:00:24.580 States. This ad used old Reagan footage chopped up to make him sound like a free trade saint,
00:00:30.180 but that's false. Reagan used tariffs to protect American jobs. Back in 1987, the New York Times
00:00:36.400 ran a piece titled, Reagan Tariff, Nothing More Than a Tantrum. They were ripping on the guy for
00:00:41.300 being too tough on Japan. Even the liberal press admitted Reagan used tariffs. And the Michelin
00:00:46.900 man's team just erased the truth. Then before the ad even aired, Mark Carney, yeah, the prime
00:00:52.040 minister reportedly signed off on it. So we paid for an ad, a distorted history, aired it in America
00:00:59.040 and it blew up in our face. Trump saw it, said you're interfering and hit back with tariffs.
00:01:04.900 Trade talks are now dead. And our politicians, they called it standing up to Trump, please.
00:01:10.460 While they're posing for cameras, Canadian exporters are getting crushed. So think about
00:01:15.440 this critically. Who benefits from this mess? Not me, not you. Mark Carney does. Carney's
00:01:21.940 whole playbook is insider capitalism. Lobby for clean energy projects, wait for government
00:01:27.960 handouts, then have Brookfield, his firm, swoop in once the money's there. That's not entrepreneurship.
00:01:34.520 That is political looting. And it's working. Since April, Carney's Brookfield stock options
00:01:39.660 made him over 2.3 million dollars just from one holding. He owns stocks in over 300 American
00:01:45.920 companies, dozens abroad, and just two in Canada. So when tariffs crush our economy,
00:01:52.080 his U.S. portfolio balloons. He wins, we lose. And this is the same guy preaching resilience
00:01:58.760 and standing up to America. He's standing up with America because that's where his wallet is. Every
00:02:04.540 time Canada gets weaker, Carney gets richer. That's not leadership. That's corruption dressed
00:02:09.640 up as competence, these tariffs aren't just numbers. They mean higher prices, fewer jobs,
00:02:16.000 smaller paychecks. Every new tariff is another factory heading south. It's slow motion economic
00:02:21.600 suicide. Economists say tariffs could chop 2-3% off Canada's GDP. About $1,900 a year out of your
00:02:29.960 own pockets. Ontario alone could lose 100,000 jobs by 2026. That's not a stat. That's families
00:02:36.780 and entire towns wiped out. So how do we fix it? What is the grand solution? We free the market
00:02:43.140 because the most free market move we can make right now as a nation is ironically the most
00:02:48.920 anti-American trade policy possible. The freer the economy gets, the more America hates it
00:02:54.360 because their money starts flowing here. So let's make that happen. Cut regulations,
00:02:59.220 slash red tape, drop taxes, make Canada the easiest place in the world to build, hire,
00:03:04.420 and create? If American companies are tired of taxes and bureaucracy, let them move here. Let
00:03:10.180 them become Canadian companies. That's how you win a trade war without firing a single shot.
00:03:15.440 Carney knows that. He's a banker. He gets capital flight. But a strong free market Canada doesn't
00:03:21.620 make him richer. It makes us richer. And that is exactly why he will never allow it. So if Canada
00:03:27.140 wants to compete, stop begging America for a fair deal and start becoming the deal. Build a Canada
00:03:33.080 that's independent, profitable, and unapologetically ours, because a country that doesn't put
00:03:38.360 its own citizens first will always end up last.
