00:00:00.240 Contrary to what the mainstream media will have you believe, America's economy is surging.
00:00:05.540 Trump's America is actually outperforming all expectations.
00:00:09.760 And while this is happening, Europe's economy is barely moving.
00:00:13.440 Canada is struggling to hit 1%.
00:00:16.300 And Mark Carney has decided that Europe, that same Europe, is where Canada should be.
00:00:21.780 And I'm not kidding.
00:00:22.740 So I wonder how you feel about Madame von der Leyen even today saying
00:00:26.500 your mutual goal is associate membership in the EU.
00:00:29.340 The, I think the, look, there are, they don't matter. This new alliance is not a marketing
00:00:40.380 exercise. The name doesn't matter. And this is why we are discussing the idea of Canada becoming
00:00:48.640 the first associate member of the European Union. The United States, meanwhile, is reporting third
00:00:55.380 quarter economic growth at 3.4%. Let that sink in. Breaking news. So let's digest it together.
00:01:03.980 A major boost for the economy, the nation's third quarter GDP growth. Get this, just released
00:01:08.840 moments ago, showing the US economy grew at an annual rate of 3.4%. Now it's surpassing
00:01:17.280 expectations and showing the strength of the overall economy. Now the expectations hit 3.2%.
00:01:22.640 It's a major boost to President Trump's economic agenda and just days to go before the midterms.
00:01:28.520 And Carney's over here trying to get Canada closer to the European Union.
00:01:32.940 But here's where his big gamble may have just backfired.
00:01:37.200 Because two of Europe's most powerful countries aren't exactly rolling out the red carpet for Canada.
00:01:43.580 I'll get to that in a second.
00:01:44.980 But think about this for a minute.
00:01:46.960 We've got the biggest economy in the world right next door.
00:01:51.200 we sell more to the americans than anybody else and it ain't even close our businesses our jobs
00:01:57.980 our entire economy are tied to the united states and mark carney is acting like the answer is to
00:02:04.420 run off to europe europe a place that's been struggling with slow growth for years decades
00:02:11.320 now involved in trying to fix these policies that would make our country work far better and
00:02:15.980 deregulation is part of it if you don't believe me go to europe folks okay and europe used to have
00:02:21.540 a gdp per person of 90 of america it's now 65 of america it's on its way to 50 of america which
00:02:30.560 will jeopardize the health of europe itself over time and it's all anti-business anti-investment
00:02:37.440 anti-innovation now i'm not saying canada shouldn't trade with europe of course we should
00:02:42.920 we should sell our products to whatever country wants to buy them but there's a big difference
00:02:48.180 between trading with someone and starting to line up your country's laws and rules with theirs
00:02:54.720 that's what worries me about this whole talk from Carney and Ursula von der Leyen about the whole
00:03:02.400 Canada becoming an associate member closer ties between parliaments getting rules and regulations
00:03:09.300 more in line with each other. I don't know.
00:03:12.420 We can build a partnership that comes closer to membership
00:03:15.080 than anything we've done before.
00:03:18.600 So how do we get there?
00:03:21.200 First, it means close alignment on policies.
00:03:25.140 We can work on everything from AI and climate to energy and security,
00:03:30.800 you just name it.
00:03:32.660 Second, it means close alignment on governance.
00:03:35.260 it means more work shared by the european commission and the canadian government for
00:03:42.540 example the cooperation could also entail parliament to parliament between our two
00:03:49.160 parliaments and court to court and i'm sitting here thinking who the hell asked for this who
00:03:55.820 who voted for this did did anyone ask canadians whether they wanted more influence from brussels
00:04:01.540 because I sure as hell don't remember that conversation.
00:04:05.200 And here's the part that really gets me.
00:04:07.340 Carney keeps talking about how dangerous and divided the world has become.
00:04:12.500 I mean, that's literally his favorite line to say, how we need alliances.
00:04:16.780 And I think he's using all that fear to sell Canadians on moving away from the United States
00:04:22.580 because as long as everybody's angry at Trump,
00:04:25.140 no one's asking Carney why things are so expensive here in Canada.
00:04:29.040 But wait until you hear this.
00:04:30.240 there have been reports of France and Germany pushing back against the idea of Canada getting
00:04:36.960 some sort of associate membership status with the European Union. So in the run-up of the summit,
00:04:43.980 the headline-making issue was the associate membership of Canada. That was eventually
00:04:51.500 shot down by a couple of member states. What happened? Look, we need to go back last month.
00:04:57.840 Ursula von der Leyen delivers her State of the Union speech in Strasbourg and all of a sudden
00:05:02.880 she introduces this idea of making Canada the first ever associate member of the European Union
00:05:08.800 in front of Mark Carney. Everybody's surprised and everybody's confused. Member states have a
00:05:14.400 lot of questions about what this concept means in practice and they are also a bit resentful
00:05:19.520 about the fact that von der Leyen did not consult with them before making this announcement.
00:05:24.000 So what happened this week is that Germany led a push to basically kill the concept and any mention of associate membership has been deleted from the joint declaration and now we only see an ever closer association, which is very different.
00:05:42.640 France and Germany, two of the biggest players in Europe.
00:05:47.300 Now, they're not saying Canada can trade with Europe,
00:05:50.960 but even some of the European countries themselves are presenting resistance
00:05:55.560 to this whole idea of a global government that influences Canada as well.
00:06:00.520 And it gets better.
00:06:01.840 Europe has its own carbon border rules, carbon tax situation
00:06:06.180 that will definitely add cost to Canadian exporters.
00:06:09.440 So we're going to fix Canada's economy by getting closer to a market that will make our products even more expensive to sell?
00:06:18.280 How does that make any sense?
00:06:19.820 Times are tough out there, but America's economy is still outperforming the rest of the world.
00:06:25.080 Now, I got to ask, why aren't we trying to build a stronger, closer relationship with the country just south of us?
00:06:34.000 I've said this before, and I mean, they're going to blame Trump.
00:06:36.620 They're going to say, well, Trump threatened our sovereignty.
00:06:38.680 look that was always rhetoric if the americans actually wanted to invade canada it wouldn't be
00:06:45.580 that difficult for them to do it all right you're talking about the most powerful military in the
00:06:50.340 world and canada isn't even number two or even number three if they wanted to invade us there's
00:06:56.820 nothing stopping them other than their desire not to do that that was always rhetoric and the
00:07:01.700 liberals have decided to use that to their political advantage and they've done it successfully
00:07:07.080 Mark Carney would not have won the last election
00:07:08.900 if it wasn't for strong Trump derangement syndrome
00:07:11.700 here north of the border.
00:07:13.140 So tell me, would you rather see Canada
00:07:14.760 work more closely with the United States
00:07:16.700 or keep chasing this big European dream
00:07:19.480 that will only end up in the nightmare
00:07:22.140 that France is living today?
00:07:23.360 I mean, have you looked at Paris recently?
00:07:25.920 Have you seen the reports?
00:07:27.940 France is but a shadow of what it used to be. 0.88
00:07:31.040 And that's what's waiting for Canada
00:07:32.640 if we continue down this path.
