00:00:00.000 The U.S. has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising its tariffs to levels last seen
00:00:05.500 during the Great Depression. Many of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America,
00:00:11.020 have become our weaknesses. Weaknesses that we must correct. The U.S. has changed, and we must
00:00:17.420 respond. I mean, I think you have premiers who attack the president personally, okay? I don't,
00:00:24.040 I am not aware of the president's team, governors, or the folks that work out of the embassy attacking Mark Carney.
00:00:34.880 We respect him as the leader of Canada.
00:00:39.500 You have folks that just absolutely trash the president, who are in key government officials.
00:00:45.440 And that's a decision they make.
00:00:46.920 I don't like it, but if that's what they want to do, that's what they can do.
00:00:49.460 this is how canada's paying for its trump derangement syndrome right here the canadian
00:00:55.380 dollar is being dumped from foreign exchange reserves at a record pace what is going on
00:01:06.420 many of our former strengths which rested on our close ties with the united states
00:01:11.700 have become our weaknesses now
00:01:13.220 we understood these changes very early on other countries are only just now beginning to grasp
00:01:22.720 the full scope of these changes and while we have overcome the initial shock of the betrayal
00:01:29.800 we must never forget the lessons it has taught us
00:01:34.060 he could negotiate with the united states but according to the ambassador the united
00:01:44.860 states ambassador to canada they haven't spoken in months is it actually just a really intense
00:01:50.460 negotiation and it's normal for for this to kind of be the the rhetoric and fallout no actually
00:01:56.140 it's not an intense negotiation okay there really have been no serious negotiations since october
00:02:02.220 of last year and that's now betrayal there haven't been any real advancements in the negotiations
00:02:08.060 in months this guy is purposefully mark carney is purposefully sabotaging our most important
00:02:14.860 economic alliance in the world this guy continues to blame the united states for everything wrong
00:02:21.340 with canada everything that that's happening that's wrong here in this country he's blaming
00:02:24.860 on the united states and yet look at this report from the national post canada's new normal that
00:02:31.420 That is how they want you to look at it.
00:02:32.720 This is the new normal.
00:02:33.920 Food bank visits have doubled since 2019 with spikes from newcomers.
00:02:38.880 That's another thing. 1.00
00:02:39.960 They broke the immigration system. 0.99
00:02:41.520 They're bringing people in that instead of contributing, are only taking from the system. 0.85
00:02:45.940 A system that's already strained, you're bringing in people that are only taking more. 0.94
00:02:50.240 So you now have employed people visiting food banks, and you also have immigrants visiting food banks.
00:02:55.780 Food banks recorded an unprecedented 2.2 million visits in a single month.
00:03:03.040 Let that sink in for a moment.
00:03:05.180 2.2 million people in a single month visited the food bank, according to Foodbanks Canada's 2025 hunger count.
00:03:15.220 Explain to me how that is Donald Trump's fault.
00:03:17.480 tell me how that is a foreign president's fault and not the fault of a government who's been in
00:03:24.780 power for 11 freaking years here is a report that came out just a week ago from the financial post
00:03:32.380 this is how canada's paying for its trump derangement syndrome right here the canadian
00:03:39.020 dollar is being dumped from foreign exchange reserves at a record pace what is going on
00:03:45.320 and it has not come out of the low 70s to the u.s dollar the canadian looney it's still sitting
00:03:53.180 at 70 something cents i think 72 73 cents and it's only bound to get worse because it's being
00:03:59.960 dumped from foreign exchange reserves at record paces billions and billions of dollars global
00:04:05.940 reserve managers appear to have lost their appetite for the canadian dollar goes the article
00:04:10.020 According to the International Monetary Fund's latest COFER reading, COFER, or the currency composition of official foreign exchange reserves, is quarterly IMF data that tracks the global holdings of major currencies.
00:04:23.420 The big ones are the U.S. dollar and the euro, which account for three quarters of the total foreign exchange reserves.
00:04:28.700 However, in recent years, the greenback's share has been declining, and in 2025, it touched new lows, said Warren Lovely and economies with National Bank of Canada.
00:04:36.420 Now the Canadian dollar appears to be suffering a similar fate.
00:04:42.200 In the final quarter of 2025, no identified currency saw its share of the global foreign exchange reserve pool trimmed more than the CAD, the Canadian dollar, not even USD.
00:04:53.120 And this is considering that the United States is actually in a war right now.
00:04:56.400 The U.S. is fighting a war against Iran.
00:04:58.340 Normally, when you're fighting a war, normally when you're making the crazy changes that President Trump has been making, when I say crazy, I mean drastic changes that President Trump has been making to try to protect the American economy, your currency as a result of retaliation from other countries is going to suffer.
00:05:16.340 But the Canadian who is Canada at war with Canada is not fighting any wars.
00:05:21.220 And yet the Canadian dollar has fallen more than any other currency in the world.
00:05:27.740 Unbelievable. Like at this rate, it's going to be the Canadian peso.
00:05:31.680 And of course, crime, because when people are hungry and broke, what happens to crime?
00:05:37.440 Well, crime goes up, my friend. And the article was originally printed on February 23rd of this year.
00:05:42.820 Why violent crime is surging in Canada, and anyone who lives in Canada knows that crime is higher than it's ever been. Scammers are running rampant. Violence that we had never seen in this country 10 years ago was unimaginable. Unimaginable. Now we're seeing it all the time.
00:05:57.460 If the media are going to chastise Canadians for feeling unsafe, because, of course, the media is chastising Canadians for that, while crime rates are supposedly dropping, journalists and the so-called experts they cite ought to examine the data more closely before doing so, because the data actually shows that violent crime is on the up in Canada.
00:06:19.940 You have an executive, a tech executive who studied in the United States, by the way, proposing a half a million dollar exit tax for Canadians who are hoping to move to the United States to for better opportunities.
00:06:36.340 You know, talk about a country doing well when you have to get your people to not leave the country by taxing them half a million dollars.
00:06:45.980 That's that's the reality of Canada today.
00:06:48.280 I was talking with my wife, I think, what was it, two days ago, that Canadians at this point seem more brainwashed and more manipulated by their government than even North Koreans.
00:06:58.740 I don't even think North Koreans are as brainwashed and manipulated and have as much Trump derangement syndrome than Canadians right now.
00:07:07.700 And of course, I don't mean every Canadian.
00:07:09.760 There's a lot of common sense people in this country.
00:07:12.140 But the people, the elbows up crowd, I think those people are the most.
00:07:16.880 Like, how do you look at your country and know that there are 2.2 million fellow Canadians visiting food banks every month and you choose to blame a foreign president?
00:07:29.480 And they do. That's what they do. You tell you tell them this fact.
00:07:32.020 You come to them with the article and you let them know, hey, look, this is what's happening.
00:07:36.320 We got 2.2 million Canadians needing a food bank to survive.
00:07:40.040 This isn't right. And they'll say, yeah, well, it's, you know, Trump.
00:07:43.800 trump started a war with iran and that cost 2.2 million people in canada to need a food bank in
00:07:51.620 order to survive and it's like then you tell them you press them a little and you say well but it
00:07:56.740 says here that that's been happening since 2019 since even before the pandemic because then they'll
00:08:01.700 blame it on the pandemic or they'll blame it on something else or ukraine or russia whatever
00:08:06.600 they'll blame it on everything they'll never blame it on the people in power you press them a little
00:08:12.380 more and you say hey but it's been going on since 2019 where it's been doubling every year there
00:08:18.280 were a million people needing food banks in 2019 what happened then because it was joe biden in
00:08:24.020 power south of the border in 2019 what happened then and they'll tell you something else about
00:08:30.820 trump they'll say orange man bad orange man bad orange man bad the government in canada pays the
00:08:36.400 media to brainwash people they pay the cbc they pay the ctv they pay global news all of the
00:08:42.640 newspapers are bought and paid for but like 90 of the media in canada is bought and paid for
00:08:47.300 this is why this is another one of the millions of reasons to support western independence these
00:08:54.200 people are not changing course they're going to continue their anti-american agenda because that's
00:08:59.320 what got them to power and they believe they're going to continue to hold power as long as trump
00:09:03.440 is there in the presidency, they're going to make Trump the boogeyman
00:09:07.560 to blame everything, every single problem Canada has on.
00:09:11.920 So if you're in Alberta, the only real solution to this
00:09:15.380 is supporting Alberta independence, because even if
00:09:19.280 Albertans, after a successful referendum, decide
00:09:23.120 to negotiate with Canada for just more power within Canada,
00:09:27.460 which I doubt, I'm one that wants to see complete and total independence,
00:09:31.620 But even if you're one of the people who say, you know what? If they make it fair for Albertans, I'll give Canada another another chance. Your best bet is Alberta independence, because that will be such a political shockwave that they will have no choice but to open the Constitution and make the necessary changes to not lose the golden goose, to not lose the cash cow.
00:09:55.800 Because I'm telling you right now, if Alberta separated from Canada tomorrow, the day after Canada collapses as a country economically, and they know that, which is why they're going to do anything and everything in their power to make sure Alberta doesn't leave.
00:10:11.220 So things are going to get interesting in the next few months leading up to the October referendum.
00:10:25.800 And I ain't seen the bloodshine
00:10:30.800 I don't know where
