The United States is not interested in negotiating with Canada anymore.
00:00:04.360
They're moving on and no longer view this country as the ally it once was.
00:00:09.540
President Donald Trump has indicated he has zero, zero intention to meet with Canada's
00:00:16.100
Really an unprecedented situation where the two countries barely speak to each other,
00:00:24.860
Okay, to try to understand what's going on between the two countries, I have an interview
00:00:29.940
here from the U.S. ambassador to Canada, where he kind of sheds some light into what's going
00:00:41.700
He didn't give me any, you know, clear indication or any indication at all that he was in any
00:00:48.780
hurry to get back to the negotiating table and get an agreement.
00:00:53.520
While criticizing how Canadian media framed the recent breakdown of trade talks, the ambassador
00:00:58.440
said Ontario's anti-tariff ad and comments by other premiers was akin to meddling in American
00:01:06.620
Doug Ford and E.B. were starting to play in domestic American politics, potentially affecting
00:01:14.640
a Supreme Court decision, potentially affecting politics, you know, an election that is eight
00:01:21.000
days out, uh, and for sure having an impact in the midterm elections.
00:01:26.000
Hookstra admits American businesses are grappling with the uncertainty caused by the strained trading
00:01:34.680
But after the contentious commercial, the U.S. is taking no blame for the current state of
00:01:44.640
I mean, it's hard to argue with what he's saying.
00:01:55.140
Imagine for a second that the roles were reversed and you have one or two governors south of the
00:02:01.540
border completely meddling into Canadian politics, running ads to try to get an outcome out of
00:02:10.900
You know, you have, say the governor of Montana running ads against policies imposed by Mark
00:02:28.100
When you're doing this, you're basically a foreign agent meddling in American politics.
00:02:34.240
Again, have the roles be reversed and tell me how acceptable that is.
00:02:44.040
I heard, uh, I heard that the president heard our ad, uh, I'm sure he wasn't too happy, but
00:02:49.660
it's real because it was coming from the best president the country has ever seen, Ronald
00:02:57.920
It's probably one of the best ads I've ever seen.
00:03:00.920
And it's coming from Ronald Reagan's voice and it's going to be focused, uh, on right across
00:03:05.580
the, the country, but also in a Republican held areas, because what I feel the Reagan
00:03:12.180
Republicans are going to be fighting with a MAGA group and let's hope, uh, Reagan Republicans.
00:03:18.480
Do these people, I wonder if these people took any sort of diplomacy course or anything like
00:03:24.980
that, like, how does he think knowing who he's negotiating or trying to negotiate with
00:03:32.100
Donald Trump, how does he think that the declarations he just made are going to help his negotiating
00:03:43.220
I'm trying to give these people the benefit of the doubt, but the more I listened to them,
00:03:48.060
the more it seems like they actually want negotiations to fail because anybody who knows
00:03:55.060
Donald Trump and how he operates knows Donald Trump, this will make it to him.
00:03:59.300
This video of Doug Ford talking the way he's talking, throwing shade at Donald Trump, saying
00:04:05.340
that, you know, uh, Reagan was the greatest president ever, basically saying Trump is nowhere
00:04:11.820
near as good and, and then saying that his goal is to divide Donald Trump's base, the Reagan
00:04:23.100
Like how does that help you negotiate with president Trump?
00:04:28.600
I honestly believe these people are trying to, are trying to sabotage negotiations, but pretend
00:04:36.660
So I wouldn't be surprised if all they're doing is just theater.
00:04:39.820
It's just theatrics and pretending like they're trying to get a deal with the U S but keeping
00:04:47.000
When in reality, they want to just get closer to China.
00:04:49.760
So in all of this, we have president Trump's response from air force one, where he addressed
00:04:57.700
This is an ad that was an ad run by a provincial government in Canada.
00:05:02.500
Because the, uh, whether it's provincial or Canada itself, they all know exactly what the
00:05:07.720
Uh, the, uh, prime minister knew, everybody knew the prime minister knew what the ad was.
00:05:17.660
I'm not going to be meeting with him for a while.
00:05:19.660
I'm very happy with the deal we have right now with Canada and we're going to let it ride.
00:05:24.040
He says, we're very happy with the deal we have with Canada currently.
00:05:27.280
I mean, it's a $30 trillion economy versus a $2 trillion economy.
00:05:33.980
Canada needs a deal way more than the U S does.
00:05:36.980
As much as Carney will lie to the Canadian people and have them become all delusional thinking,
00:05:46.720
Don't care about your feelings or your ideology economics.
00:05:51.800
Here you have Doug Ford, uh, looking like he F owed after effing around, uh, looks like
00:06:01.680
Let's hear what he had to say like, yeah, well, sure, sure enough.
00:06:06.000
Well, of course, Daniel Smith doesn't like the ads because she's not getting her auto
00:06:09.120
annihilated or manufacturing or steel, her life science sector.
00:06:13.420
She has a commodity called oil that Americans need and want.
00:06:19.620
If we sign a lousy deal, I'd rather have no deal than a terrible deal that will cost jobs
00:06:26.060
So he's basically going after premier Danielle Smith of Alberta, because she's been saying
00:06:31.040
from the very beginning that the way to get the best deal possible is to exercise diplomacy.
00:06:37.140
Who would have thought that diplomacy would work better than attacking the person you're
00:06:50.320
But you hear him crying every day that Canada doesn't have a deal.
00:06:55.420
He knows that the tariffs are having the effect that Trump wanted him to have.
00:07:00.880
You have more car makers, more manufacturers, more companies packing it up in Canada and heading
00:07:16.520
They're heading south of the border, but they don't want to negotiate in good faith.
00:07:21.800
Like the ambassador said, Canada burnt that bridge.
00:07:26.300
If Canada wants the United States to open its market fully free trade, then Canada has to
00:07:32.740
Canada has to open its market to the United States.
00:07:38.120
And you yourself are doing the exact same thing.
00:07:40.240
And this right here is what Doug Ford was complaining about in regards to Danielle Smith.
00:07:44.500
Danielle Smith has been from the very beginning.
00:07:47.120
She's been consistent saying that diplomacy is the way to get the best deal possible, not
00:07:54.680
So she says here, quote, I remain convinced that the path to a positive resolution with
00:08:01.680
our U.S. partners lies in strong, consistent diplomacy and a commitment to working in good
00:08:07.620
faith towards shared priorities such as North American energy dominance.
00:08:13.240
To that end, I am pleased to see that Ontario's ad campaign is being suspended.
00:08:18.620
And I once again urge the federal government to continue negotiating to resolve these tariff
00:08:25.040
issues and restore a free and fair trade agreement with the United States while diversifying and
00:08:31.240
strengthening the Canadian economy by unleashing our world-class natural resource sector.
00:08:39.240
They're blocking pipelines, Alberta pipelines to tight water, and they're also attacking
00:08:45.980
Meanwhile, Trump is out in Japan making all kinds of deals.
00:08:48.980
That's the things you do when you just made a huge deal with Japan.
00:08:53.480
Japan, with an economy two to three times bigger than Canada, came and made a deal with
00:08:58.480
the United States because they know better than to be dumb enough to try to, oh, I'm going
00:09:03.740
Because they know they're not, there's no economy that can show the Americans.
00:09:07.740
China even has to come to the table, let alone Canada.
00:09:11.740
But then again, most Canadian politicians are not known for using logic to run the country.
00:09:16.740
Here you have the Premier of British Columbia, David Eby, saying that he is going to run ads
00:09:26.740
The Premier David Eby says the province will go ahead with its own anti-tariff ads aimed
00:09:33.740
First of all, let me say that I support unambiguously Premier Ford's advertisements in the United States.
00:09:41.740
It is absolutely essential that we talk to Americans about the implications of tariffs, about the fact that trade policy in the United States right now is governed not by logic, not by economics, not by relationship, but by something else entirely and by one individual in the White House.
00:10:04.740
And the best example that I can give of that is the fact that Russia has better access to the U.S. market right now for softwood than Canada does.
00:10:12.740
So we will continue to work to get the word out about the unfair and absurd treatment of the United States of Canada.
00:10:17.740
But we can't control the man in the White House.
00:10:20.740
All we can do is control our own destiny by ensuring that we're working with trade partners that value the resources and the work that Canadians bring to the global economy.
00:10:29.740
Sure. Continue to do the exact same thing that got you where you're at now, literally the one country in the world who is not talking trade at all with the United States, where trade talks are completely stopped and terminated.
00:10:44.740
You're going to do some more of that. But then you're going to tell Canadians that you want to get a fair trade deal with the United States.
00:10:53.740
You can't make this stuff up. He knows that those ads are only going to make things worse.
00:10:58.740
They're doing this for political gain. They're left leaning. They know that their delusional base is going to be very happy.
00:11:04.740
Yeah, stick it to Trump while the Canadian economy continues to fall apart.
00:11:11.740
