00:03:21.280Other countries are, but other countries seem to be more serious.
00:03:24.500I truly believe that Mark Carney and Doug Ford don't actually want a deal.
00:03:29.780They prefer to have a weak, shrinking economy in which they are the bosses.
00:03:33.720They love anti-Americanism because it pushes votes away from the conservatives.
00:03:38.180And Doug Ford in particular loves this battle because if we weren't talking about this,
00:03:43.060we would be talking about corruption, including Ontario cabinet ministers staying in expensive Toronto hotels.
00:03:50.520That's the latest in a string of scandals, I guess, since those scandals were to distract from the earlier scandal of him buying a private jet.
00:03:59.140anyways why are any premiers talking about this at all except in the most general way i mean
00:04:05.960should premiers get involved with other foreign relations matters too by by what authority it's
00:04:12.820not our constitution that would allow it that is a federal matter but that's the delight of it you
00:04:17.760see i mean doug ford wants to switch the subject david eby in british columbia is at 31 approval
00:04:24.420in the polls, far lower than Donald Trump is, by the way. People hate David Eby. Perfect. Perfect.
00:04:31.640He's in a left-wing city. If he just rails a bit against Donald Trump, all the Trump haters might
00:04:36.720rally around him, right? I mean, Vancouver is a very progressive city. It's like Portland, Oregon
00:04:41.800or something. Easy to be anti-American. And so that's what Premier Eby is doing. He doesn't have
00:04:46.880any jurisdiction, but he knows he's losing and he's reaching for anything.
00:04:51.560It's actually a bit of a paradox because I can't help but feel prouder to be a Canadian
00:04:58.760right now, that our integrity is intact as a country, that we know what we stand for,
00:05:04.560we know who our friends are, and we're willing to stand up for those things.
00:05:09.640There is not a chance in hell that U.S. alcohol is going back on the shelf in British Columbia.
00:05:15.620And I'm proud of that, and I know the British Columbians support that.
00:05:19.320And the idea of the President that he can bully us into whatever he wishes is incorrect.
00:05:33.740And we will build relationships with those countries at the national level, at the provincial
00:05:37.940level, that want to have a relationship with us.
00:05:41.080I'll say it again, I feel sorry for Americans.
00:05:44.920If you can't be friends with Canada, then you almost certainly do not have a friend anywhere in the world.
00:05:50.860And that is a very lonely place to be.
00:05:54.560Given all of our friends and relatives that live south of the border,
00:05:59.060all we can hope is that there's a brighter day for America coming up.0.99
00:06:02.480But in the meantime, they'll just be paying more for what they need that they get from Canadians.0.72
00:06:07.980And if that makes the president happy, then there's not much to be said about that.
00:06:11.880Yeah, Trump doesn't even know who EB is. I don't think banning California wines from British Columbia is going to make Trump blink anyways. We already know that Manitoba's Wob Canoe is a buffoon. He has mercifully said nothing in the past week, and I hope that continues. But before, he has accused Trump of the most outrageous things, saying he was an Epstein customer or whatever. Take a look.
00:06:36.720Let me be absolutely clear. When I say the Epstein clash should fight the Epstein war, I'm attacking Donald Trump.
00:06:43.840I'm attacking Jeff Bezos. I'm attacking Mark Zuckerberg. I'm attacking Jeffrey Epstein. I'm attacking Sam Altman.
00:06:53.880I'm attacking all of these folks who have articulated progressive views and yet bow down in the face of extraordinarily damaging politics today.0.71
00:07:05.680Wab Kanu is disgusting but he's always been that way he's a conspiracy theorist too0.52
00:07:10.000a smearer again the White House would say who? Wab Kanu is an NDPer of course here's what1.00
00:07:17.780Alberta's opposition NDP said when Danielle Smith the premier there well she wasn't willing to0.80
00:07:24.900attack Trump in the same way so here's what the NDP said despite Danielle Smith prioritizing her
00:07:31.660relationship with the trump administration they just announced 50 percent tariffs on canadian
00:07:36.100exports albertans are paying the price while she puts her political interests first it doesn't
00:07:42.640even make any sense of course trump did not put tariffs on oil and gas alberta's key industry
00:07:48.300and that's a good thing for alberta and it's a good thing for every else everyone else in the
00:07:52.320country too who benefits from the largest export we have the source of so much money so much jobs
00:07:58.080so much tax revenue. The NDP of Alberta, of course, would rather have the Premier of Alberta
00:08:02.880do some performative insults against Trump rather than keep jobs. But they're not alone. I mean,
00:08:09.020Doug Ford said as much himself. When asked about the tariffs, Doug Ford bravely offered
00:08:14.380to sacrifice Alberta energy and Saskatchewan potash to fight back.
00:08:20.000It can't always be Ontario. It has to be a Team Canada approach. And that's my message
00:08:26.740to my great friends my premier friends that we have to be united as I always
00:08:32.240say united we stand divided we fall okay just who's not carrying their weight it
00:08:39.800just seems like Ontario is always out there no matter if it's electricity or
00:08:44.440if it's alcohol or anything else in manufacturing Ontario is getting hurt
00:08:49.460the most in these tariffs right across no it's not because of the alcohol ban
00:08:54.400this is a broader issue of tariffs right across the board really is that is that his to do
00:09:00.720so we're going to shut down western industries because the premier of toronto says so
00:09:06.260because he doesn't know how to negotiate with trump so maybe destroying our own industries is
00:09:12.040the way he's for threatening to dismantle the u.s economy he knows what he's doing when he's
00:09:17.500using taunting language like that what i understand it's 28 billion across the country
00:09:22.720majority is going to be here in Ontario that's why we can't roll over we have to hit back we
00:09:29.900have to rather than be on our back heel as I said we have to go forward take the offense we are an
00:09:36.660energy powerhouse and we could dismantle the US if we wanted to if we all work together no matter
00:09:43.900if it's the electricity and I'm not speaking for the other provinces I'm going to be very clear
00:09:48.600The potash, the oil, we're their number one customer in the world.
00:09:54.180They need to feel the pain rather than us constantly feeling the pain.0.98
00:11:11.920Yeah, I mean, Brad Wall, the former premier of Saskatchewan, weighed in, too, noting that Doug Ford's shot at Saskatchewan really isn't something to be praised.
00:12:04.240But let me show you what this is really about.
00:12:06.780It's about three things that none of the clips I've shown you today have even mentioned.
00:12:11.920Here's the U.S. trade representative. That's the senior trade ambassador in the U.S. His name is
00:12:17.920Jameson Greer. Take a listen. Of all the countries who retaliated against the United States, one was
00:12:22.860the People's Republic of China and the other was Canada. Some of the things they did is they banned
00:12:28.800the sale of U.S. liquor and other booze on Canadian shelves. They capped and limited the amount of
00:12:35.220autos that could be shipped to the United States from companies who were reshoring to the U.S.
00:12:39.900And they also continue to maintain limited space for market access for U.S. dairy.
00:12:47.040But importantly, they give other countries better deals on each of these three issues.
00:12:51.340And so it was a natural consequence after a year of these measures being a place and longer in the case of dairy for the president to take action.
00:12:59.400So he's got three issues, the booze ban, the dairy cartel and cars.
00:13:05.100I think those are things that most Canadians can agree with.
00:13:08.840Why should Canadians across the country pay double or more for milk and cheese?
00:13:14.000Because Quebec has huge tariffs on U.S. dairy.
00:13:38.840If it's possible to keep a huge auto industry up here that uses America as a market, why wouldn't Trump move the factories down there and get votes for bringing industry home?
00:13:48.840There's a way to stop that, I think, an asymmetrical way by promising to be an ally to America in other ways and to be allowed to have that disproportionate auto industry.
00:16:10.040As I just mentioned, they're often started by arsonists, but they're used as political
00:16:15.420weapons by those who claim they're a function of global warming, that the reason the forests
00:16:20.780burning is because of global warming you see and so you need more carbon taxes. But there are some
00:16:27.240real politics around forests such as forest management, which is a fancy way of saying
00:16:32.600how do you cull forests, how do you remove the fuel from them from time to time before nature
00:16:38.620does it in its own way? And I think back for example to the horrific fire in Fort McMurray
00:16:43.560almost a dozen years ago where for political reasons, environmental reasons, the forests were
00:16:49.660not trimmed back away from the city so when they burnt the fires came right into the heart of it
00:16:54.660there are politics but one thing never changes and that is the politics need money trouble is
00:17:02.400our prime minister mark carney seems to be giving the money to everyone else other than the problems
00:17:07.500that we need to solve at home joining us now to talk about this and an essay she's written about
00:17:11.700it called canada burns carney pays everyone else is our friend sue ann levy so i'm great to see you
00:17:19.500How are you? Great to see you. I'm good, Ezra. I'm really good.
00:17:23.080You know, it's so right. Just that headline itself is excellent.
00:17:27.260I see Anita Anand, our foreign minister, is jaunting about in Pakistan.0.96
00:17:34.420Of course, not a word about their civil rights, not a word about their treatment of women or gays or or even some Muslim minorities like Ahmadiyya.0.98
00:17:44.820who are like it's an awful country but we're there to give money and to suck up because there's a1.00
00:17:51.120large pakistani community in canada now and just multiply that by 200 countries in the world1.00
00:17:56.460mark carney i think prefers everyone to us i think he prefers others to his own clan
00:18:04.400oh for sure there's no doubt about it um i have lost track of well i haven't lost track because i
00:18:12.180did a a comparison of of what monies he's given and how many water bombers those uh that money
00:18:21.280could be used for and you know for example 26.5 billion dollars to ukraine um to a country that
00:18:32.640is always begging for money always grifting to a you know and i think donald trump has had enough
00:18:40.500of it or you know he's talked about having having enough uh that could buy 350 plus water bombers
00:18:49.300at 50 million to 80 million each uh 500 500 dollars i wish it was 500 500 million to hamas
00:18:59.140in gaza uh for humanitarian aid in quotes you think they're really going to use it for
00:19:06.520humanitarian aid the latest being a hundred million a month ago which could have bought two
00:19:12.880water bombers so it it's just insane he's trotting around the world giving money that we don't have
00:19:19.860to countries that don't have a tremendous human rights record and dare i say because you and i
00:19:27.820are both of the faith are rabid jew haters yeah you know it's it's so frustrating i think a lot
00:19:35.260of people are sick of foreign aid but when you remember it's not about those foreign countries
00:19:40.280at all it's about domestic politics the reason why justin trudeau and now mark carney giving
00:19:46.880money to gaza i mean yeah there's some anti-semitism there and yeah there's some people
00:19:50.580in the department of foreign affairs who actually do like terrorists but it's not even about there
00:19:55.660it's about here at home it's about carney going on a tour mosque to mosque like trudeau used to do
00:20:01.920um bragging about that and and when anita nan goes to the goes to pakistan it's not even that
00:20:08.440canada has any interest in pakistan we have very few but it's about wooing the hundreds of thousands
00:20:14.420of pakistani canadians and i mean there's some of that in ukraine as well there being
00:20:20.300many ukrainian canadians um i think that this is just diaspora politics this is um
00:20:27.820ethnopolitics and in some cases it makes us do really dumb things just to try and bribe local
00:20:36.400voters well it's not just yes and that's exactly it it's the numbers game absolutely the numbers
00:20:43.140game as we found out and it's not just bribing countries but it's bringing people in and giving
00:20:51.960them money and giving them grants and giving them bailouts to live here uh it's absolutely insane we
00:20:59.340we have um a have and have not country now because we have so many people coming in who are relying
00:21:07.520on the public teed um so yes it's shoring up the numbers and then maintaining those numbers
00:21:14.740by giving handouts around the world you're absolutely right you know um recently the
00:21:20.980the human rights museum in winnipeg has been in the news because they have a pro-palestinian0.90
00:21:27.500anti-semitic presentation that was astonishingly made in concert with the palestinian ambassador
00:21:36.080uh palestine is not a country but we go through the uh the you know symbolism of accepting an
00:21:44.080ambassador from there. So they had a consult with the Nakba exhibition. Canadian Jews weren't. And
00:21:54.220the weird thing about that, of course, is that museum was started with a huge gift by Izzy
00:21:59.980Asper, who was a proud Winnipegger and a proud Jew. Never give your money to a government
00:22:05.900institution. It'll be hijacked and colonized. And they must be laughing at what happened there.
