Mark Carney, Canada s top banker, is jumping ship. After repeatedly saying he didn t want the job, Mark Carney says the decision to move across the pond next summer was the result of soul searching. He gets a hero s welcome in Canada for his role with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty during the 2008 financial crash. But not everyone in Britain is so fond of him.
00:00:41.000I'm back home in Edmonton to declare my candidacy for leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister of Canada.
00:00:52.000Mark Carney, if he won, would become the first Liberal leader who has never won an actual election anywhere, ever.
00:01:00.000A big part of understanding Mark Carney's momentum among Liberals starts with understanding how people even know him to begin with.
00:01:08.000As the Governor of the Bank of Canada, named by Stephen Harper's Conservative government during the worst economic catastrophe of a generation.
00:01:16.000But today, former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper called into question some of those credentials.
00:01:22.000Blasting Carney, who he tapped to run the Bank of Canada back in 2008, for overstating his role in steering Canada through the global financial crisis.
00:01:31.000In a letter, Harper accused Carney of taking credit for things he had little or nothing to do with back then, asserting that the hard calls were made by former finance minister, the late Jim Flaherty.
00:01:43.000At no point did Mark Carney work with Paul Martin to balance the budget.
00:01:49.000At least not according to his own resume.
00:01:51.000I mean, if he wants to call in and say, oh no, I had this secret thing that I've never talked about before while I was working for Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong, I did something.
00:02:00.000From no job to one of England's top jobs, Mark Carney, Canada's top banker, is jumping ship.
00:02:06.000Though Carney said for months it wasn't a job he wanted, today he announced he is taking over as head of the Bank of England.
00:02:13.000After repeatedly saying he didn't want the job, Mark Carney says the decision to move across the pond next summer was the result of soul searching.
00:02:21.000He gets a hero's welcome in Canada for his role with Stephen Harper and Jim Flaherty during the 2008-2009 financial crash.
00:02:30.000He doesn't have the same stellar reputation with everyone in Britain, does he?
00:02:35.000If you're looking at reasons why the British economy is stagnated, why people's income per capita is now lower than Mississippi, which is the poorest state in America.
00:02:47.000I think a lot of the fingers can be pointed at the Bank of England.
00:02:50.000Huge amounts of printing money, too much inflation, diverting resources away from the productive economy.
00:02:57.000But also, Mark Carney had a role in pushing the disastrous net zero agenda, which has been very, very damaging.
00:03:06.000Perhaps with an eye on the future, Carney became vocal on the need for the financial sector to do more to tackle climate change.
00:03:14.000I would say we're in a climate crisis, just like a financial crisis, where action needs to be taken.
00:03:21.000And that will become his focus when he takes up a new post as the United Nations Special Envoy on climate action and finance.
00:03:30.000I think government has an important role in setting the direction for the economy.
00:07:24.440So despite the legacy media's best efforts to prop up their golden boy and refrain from asking him any tough questions whatsoever, the more that we learn about Mark Carney, the more that we realize that something is not quite right.
00:07:37.980So today on the show, we're going to walk you through the many examples of Mark Carney misleading Canadians, spinning half-truths, getting caught saying different things and contradicting themselves in different part of the country and saying things that are flat out not true.
00:07:53.020Now, none of this will stop him from becoming prime minister on Sunday evening, but maybe we can convince enough Canadians to look past the legacy media image of Mark Carney and look at this man with a necessarily skeptical and critical eye.
00:08:09.180And so I want to take this opportunity to promote a live show that we are going to be doing on Sunday evening Sunday evening is a night that Carney will be appointed as prime minister.
00:08:18.960I predict that he will win the leadership race for the Liberals.
00:08:43.000And to walk through it with me today, I'm pleased to be joined for the entire show by podcaster Sean Newman.
00:08:50.200Sean Newman is host of the Sean Newman podcast, where they discuss issues related to faith, family, and the broader Canadian political landscape.
00:09:01.100So, you know, one thing that's happened in the news yesterday that I really want to point to is that President Trump has finally understood what is happening up in Canada.
00:09:11.080He finally saw through the game that Justin Trudeau is playing.
00:10:01.580But certainly the liberals are using this entire issue to drum up support for their party, to scare Canadians, to divide them, scare them, make them feel like we're at some kind of an existential crisis here, and that the only thing that can save us is a strong anti-American party, and that is the liberals.
00:10:22.300One of the things that I appreciate about Donald Trump is what you see is what you get.
00:10:25.580So it's like as soon as this thing occurred to him, he puts it out online and lets everyone know what he's thinking, and I think he's completely right about this.
00:10:43.700But the liberal party certainly isn't, and they're trying to use this crisis, whatever you want to, what term we want to put on it, certainly to find a way to get Canadians behind a new leader, which certainly looks like it's going to be Mark Carney.
00:11:01.580And they got their bad guy in Donald Trump, right?
00:11:05.920Like, it's interesting to watch Canadians with Donald Trump.
00:11:10.440You know, it's almost like he's our president.
00:11:16.560You either really enjoy Donald Trump or you despise him.
00:11:20.340And they're playing off the people that truly despise Donald Trump and pushing him into, you know, I think he's been pretty clear with the government, fix this problem, and there'll be no issue.
00:11:34.720And, you know, has there been some work done on that?
00:11:37.420I would say more by the premiers than anything.
00:11:42.760I can't sit and act like I sit in these conversations.
00:11:45.280But when you watch what the Liberal Party is doing and how they're rallying around it and how they're positioning everything to be against Donald Trump in the next election, we've seen it in the polls, which is, I don't know, a bit shocking to me.
00:11:57.580Like, I would prefer not to have the Liberals there.
00:12:00.480I think there's a lot of Canadians that would share that sentiment.
00:12:03.140That seems to be the way that the wind is blowing currently.
00:12:07.420It's funny that you say that in some ways Trump speaks for us because I think the majority of Canadians don't like Trump.
00:12:30.140Look, if the purpose of the tariffs is to get Canada to clean up its act and start spending more of our GDP on defense spending, crack down on drug cartels and illegal immigration,
00:12:39.500and get rid of a lot of the subsidies and sort of domestic protectionism that's been plagued Canada.
00:12:47.100And Conservatives and people like me have been criticizing this for like a decade or more that Canada doesn't operate on a free market.
00:12:54.000If the point is to get Canada to do that, then I think it's good policy.
00:12:58.640But if the point is to just eliminate other taxes and live off of this world where tariffs are the new form of government, the way that government raises money, I'm not in agreement with him on that.
00:13:09.980But I will just say that I like his optimism.
00:13:37.840Well, whether you think is right or wrong, you know, on how he's going about it, the art of the deal.
00:13:43.680You know, this is exactly what he's working on.
00:13:46.480And the one that he points to over and over again is peace with Russia and Ukraine.
00:13:52.400And we saw it like, I mean, we all watched, I think.
00:13:55.600And if you haven't, you really should go take the 49 minutes to watch him and Zelensky in the Oval Office go back and forth.
00:14:01.520And he's since basically broke off talks because he doesn't think Zelensky is interested in peace.
00:14:07.680And Trump has said that now for how many months?
00:14:10.960Like, go back to his race up to him becoming president is that he wants peace.
00:14:17.600And peace means he has to deal with Putin.
00:14:19.340And everybody has their thoughts on Putin as well.
00:14:21.860And so there's a lot going on here that is more than just Canada.
00:14:27.140You know, certainly the tariffs are hurting us.
00:14:31.240But, like, you know, like, when you look at everything he's trying to do, I see a guy that's trying to get the world away from where it has been.
00:14:41.460And that is a lot easier said than done.
00:14:44.320You know, here in Canada, we have a whole bunch of things going on that me and you have talked about on my show and your show and on the live stream when you hopped on that we all stare at.
00:14:54.200And we're like, this is we're just we're in bizarro land here in Canada.
00:14:58.040And I think Trump is starting or maybe he's always known, but certainly he's starting to play his chips or his cards.
00:15:05.020Like, he's beginning to understand how much of a failed state Canada has become under a liberal government, under Justin Trudeau specifically.
00:15:15.460And he's definitely rattling the cages.
00:15:17.580And the one thing that I find very interesting about it is how much it's dominating the conversation of Canada, which, you know, you always I'm sure you are similar to me that you want more people engaged in politics.
00:15:29.920And when it's quiet and there's nothing going on, everyone just goes about their day and cheers for Team Canada beating the U.S. and Four Nations Cup.
00:15:37.280When there's things like booing the national anthem and tariffs coming in, tariffs not coming in, clean your act up, you're, you know, pointing to the Liberal Party doing this to try and stay in power.
00:15:49.300More and more people are talking about it.
00:15:51.260And that is fascinating to me because I think a lot of us in the independent realm have been trying to wake more and more Canadians up to get them in the conversation.
00:16:00.380Because as I've learned in my brief time in covering politics is it's not a spectator sport.
00:16:09.140You have to start to pay attention to these things.
00:16:11.340Otherwise, the powers that be will continue to rule over us in any way they see fit, which really just pains me sitting on this side, because I think there's a real opportunity for Canadians to grab back not only their small communities, but their provincial governments and their country as a whole.
00:16:32.080And, you know, I guess in short or in long, there's just a lot going on here.
00:16:39.740Well, you're right that Trump is so busy and we're, you know, we're so introspective and we're so obsessed over little things that he said about Canada.
00:16:46.640But then you take a step back and you look at what he's doing domestically, all of his different priorities.
00:16:51.760I mean, he had his joint session, joint speech to the joint session on Tuesday evening and just hearing him go through his agenda.
00:16:58.440You realize, like, how small and insignificant the Canada issue is to the Americans and how kind of all-consuming it is for us here.
00:17:06.820Well, to go back to this idea that it is the art of the deal and in the art of the deal, he says, throw out your most outrageous claim at the beginning so that the other side gets kind of thrown off and then you're more likely to get closer to your side in the negotiation.
00:17:21.040I think that that is what this whole thing is.
00:17:22.860And interestingly, the Bloc-Quebec law leader is coming out and saying this and basically saying the same thing that Trump is saying.
00:17:33.160He says this in English, but then I'm going to play the French clip because in French, he goes on a little bit more.
00:17:38.240So he says that he thinks that Trump isn't being serious, that it's kind of a fantasy that Canada will join the United States,
00:17:43.020but that Trudeau is cynically using this to mobilize the Liberal Party, using this as a political issue, and basically we shouldn't let Trudeau get away with this.
00:18:06.960But when Mr. Trudeau used that to mobilize Canadians, well, actually, I thought it was somewhat extraordinary that he was really trying to mobilize liberals.
00:18:18.860So that's exactly right. And we did get some good news yesterday, Wednesday, March 5th.
00:18:25.360The President, President Trump's press secretary announced that there will be a 30-day reprieve from tariffs for automakers under the free trade deal.
00:18:35.840So spokeswoman Carolyn Levitt made that announcement that there will be an exemption for General Motors, Ford and Salantis.
00:18:42.720So some good news. But again, until we address the underlying issues, I think that Trump has raised with regards to the border and fentanyl and those operations,
00:18:53.480Canada's weaknesses that we haven't addressed under the Trudeau government, I think that probably they will still be coming.
00:19:01.020I want to show what the premiers are up to as well, because I'm not a big fan of Doug Ford, Ontario premier, as you know,
00:19:07.040because I was on your live stream on election night and you heard my criticisms of him there and the audience knows as well.
00:19:11.680But I think that when he goes on President Trump's favorite news channel, Fox News, and appears in an interview with Brett Baier,
00:19:20.100he is doing the job that the Canadian prime minister should be doing, right?
00:19:22.740We see Justin Trudeau going out onto MSNBC and CNN, these left-wing outlets, that you know that no one in the Trump administration is watching that.
00:19:31.200Whereas when you go on Fox News and you talk directly to the people, I think this is much more effective.
00:19:35.480So here is Doug Ford making the case for a greater union between Canada and the United States, he calls it AMCAM,
00:19:42.120and saying that China is the problem, not Canada. Let's play that clip.
00:19:46.760I do not understand why he wants to attack his closest friend and his ally. He should be focusing on China.
00:19:54.260He should be focusing on China with the autos that are coming in that don't comply with the USMCA.
00:20:03.400We are your closest allies and friends. We're your largest customer in the world.
00:20:08.680And we want to build the AMCAM fortress. That's the best thing to do.
00:20:13.860As he's focusing on his friends, China is just going, moving up every single day.
00:20:18.700So I think that's the most effective message for Canada at this point. What do you think?
00:20:25.040Well, I was going to, if I can hop back to the Quebec leader first, one of the things, you know, like, are the deal or not, right?
00:20:34.680Throwing things out that he's not going to follow through or not.
00:20:37.280One of the things that I don't think politicians get is by throwing out those things.
00:20:45.440I started a conversation here in Alberta that you'd asked me about the first time we talked, you know,
00:20:51.280like, is Alberta really interested in independence and et cetera?
00:20:55.880And at the time I was like, you know, like, there's a small contingent, you know, kind of thing.
00:21:03.060What Trump has done and what I don't think most Canadian politicians get, and if they do, they certainly don't acknowledge it,
00:21:10.860is that the conversation has begun and it's begun in a large way.
00:21:15.460We saw Jeffrey Rath talk about leading a delegation down to Washington
00:21:20.880to discuss a deal about Alberta becoming the 51st state.
00:21:25.180Because the first thing that happened in the conversation about Canada becoming the 51st state,
00:21:30.980I can speak for Albertans out here, they went, why the heck would we do that?
00:23:29.360And I'm finding more and more, the longer this conversation goes on, the more this conversation is starting to heat up.
00:23:37.520And, you know, if we get in a true all-out trade war with the United States, I can say from the Western side,
00:23:44.580what's happening is this conversation is picking up steam.
00:23:48.540It's everywhere I go now, it's the conversation of topic.
00:23:51.740And, you know, the politicians can say, oh, we're going to do this and we've got to explore different markets.
00:23:56.000Well, we've been saying this for how long?
00:23:57.840They talk about Energy East and one breath, they're like, oh, maybe we should do that.
00:24:01.280And the next, Quebec goes, no, we're never doing that.
00:24:03.580It's like, well, this has been the problem with Canada for a very long time.
00:24:06.680Daniel Smith says we've got to open all the ports.
00:24:08.600If they're going to shut us off, we've got to go.
00:24:10.420We should have been doing that anyways.
00:24:13.060And so I think there's a growing conversation happening here, at least in Alberta.
00:24:18.380It is an offshoot that, you know, a couple of weeks ago when I was on the show, you know, at the time I was like, yeah, there's a little bit of talk, but that isn't that big.
00:24:27.940And the longer this goes on, it's only going to grow more.
00:24:30.540If Jeff Rath actually takes a group of people down there and they actually get to sit and talk to somebody within the administration that can sit and be like, well, we could maybe do this and this and this.
00:24:40.920Sure, there's going to be legal ramifications that Canada's not going to want any part of that.
00:24:45.480But from an Alberta citizen standpoint, I think people are interested in hearing what the deal is and does that transform a deal that Canada has to offer Alberta or other provinces?
00:24:55.920I think that's a big part of this conversation that politicians are missing.
00:25:02.620So Rachel Parker had this interview that just completely went viral and all of a sudden big American accounts like Charlie Kirk were promoting this idea.
00:25:10.160Now, I don't know that a citizen who's a lawyer can actually negotiate on behalf of a province because I have Danielle Smith who came out pretty strong yesterday.
00:25:20.160I would say this is the strongest language that I've heard from her saying that basically that Alberta is willing at this point to take measures to go against these tariffs.
00:25:31.160So I want to play first this clip of Danielle Smith yesterday saying that Alberta's trump card, no pun intended, is our oil.
00:25:54.320Whether the U.S. president wishes to admit it or not, the United States not only needs our oil and gas today, they are also going to need it more and more with each passing year once they notice their declining domestic reserves and production are wholly insufficient.
00:26:09.440And then further, I'll just play the second clip of Danielle Smith.
00:26:14.440This clip was going viral online yesterday.
00:26:16.440The American account Libs of TikTok shared it, but this is Smith, Premier Smith, sounding pretty firm, saying that she has directed her cabinet to ensure that basically Americans are no longer able to pay for procurement.
00:26:29.440They are not able to be involved in, no American alcohol will be able to be purchased, no video lottery terminals as well.
00:26:39.440I've directed my cabinet to alter our procurement practices to ensure the government of Alberta, along with our agencies, school boards, crown corporations, and all Alberta municipalities, purchase all needed goods and services from Alberta companies, from Canadian companies, and from countries with which Canada has been
00:26:59.420Canada has a free trade agreement that is being honoured. Second, no further purchases of U.S. alcohol or new VLTs will be permitted through the AGLC until further notice.
00:27:12.420So what do you think of the Premier's new tone that she's taking?
00:27:17.420Well, I want to first say about the citizen, do they have any capability to go down to the U.S.?
00:27:22.420I want to remind us in this conversation, we're about to have a prime minister who wasn't elected.
00:27:27.420So we're going to one way point out that a citizen can't go down and represent the views of some Albertans, but we're going to have an unelected prime minister negotiating with the president of the United States.
00:27:42.420I agree. I'll just go back at that because when people were criticizing Kevin O'Leary for being an unelected person going down, he just said, look, I'm a free citizen. I can do whatever I want. But I think that's different than going down to try to negotiate some kind of a annexation.
00:27:56.420Like, yes, you know, there's a there's a percentage of people in Alberta who are interested in this, who want to find out more.
00:28:05.420But I don't think that that gives this delegation any power to start saying, like, this is how it could go and give us the U.S. dollar, et cetera.
00:28:12.420I 100 percent agree. Right. Like, I agree. But our country is weird. And I don't know how better to say it, Candace. Daniel Smith, we just showed. And I told you this last time, like she became the premier of a province and was never elected to do so. Right.
00:28:30.280She wanted a leadership race after canning was pulled out and she became the acting chief of a province. We're about to have the same thing happen as a country. And I feel the sentiment that is growing more and more and more is that the voices of the public are being heard less and less and less.
00:28:51.700And so they're starting to take things into their own hands. So while I agree, a delegation going down has no real power to enact anything. OK, they're still free to go have the conversation and they're still free to bring back the information.
00:29:08.120And that information is going to do lots of things that I cannot predict, honestly. And, you know, like, yeah, Daniel Smith is talking tough now.
00:29:18.500She's she's you know, we're we're we're beginning to enter a trade war when you're pulling off things. And what's Donald Trump going to do with that? Well, I don't see him backing down.
00:29:28.040The thing I just saw is that he's going to revoke. I forget the numbers at 240,000 or 270,000 Ukraine refugees visas into the United States.
00:29:37.600Like this isn't a man that I see. Taking that lightly. And so does this escalate? It looks like it's going to. And what does that mean for Canadians?
00:29:49.360Interesting days ahead. I can use probably a few other ones.
00:29:52.380Just that, you know, like the the the delegation, it's like, no, I agree.
00:29:56.980Like they don't have any they're not elected to do that. But I might point out the the most outspoken province in the country had an unelected official be put in.
00:30:07.520And now she is elected and she's won her seat. And I have nothing ill to say there.
00:30:11.760But we're about to have a prime minister who isn't elected, who's just tied to the weft and globalist as humanly possible.
00:30:17.640And I think everybody's looking at that going, is there a way this guy gets in?
00:30:21.200If there is, it's probably on the citizens now to start having more and more conversations to force some of these politicians hands, because we can't just act like Carney getting in isn't a big deal.
00:30:33.440That is a big deal. We should have had an election, but we haven't.
00:30:37.760And now, you know, like when Trump goes, when's your election? And nobody knows.
00:30:41.140I laugh at that because we don't. We actually have no idea.
00:30:43.800And there's a lot of different dates thrown out on when that could be.
00:30:51.580Everybody's waiting for Carney to get in because we assume that's going to happen.
00:30:54.620Then we're waiting for prorogation and then we're waiting for his throne speech, I assume.
00:30:59.540And you can correct me if I'm wrong here. And then we assume there's going to be a vote of non-confidence.
00:31:03.300We assume. But we actually don't know that all these things are going to transpire and that things before then aren't going to change.
00:31:09.280And there's there's just a growing sentiment of what are we doing here?
00:31:14.120What are our politicians doing for us? And we need to we get that we need to figure this out.
00:31:20.780And I guess there's a lot of there isn't that much faith left in the politicians to figure it out.
00:31:25.640Well, you're right about so many things. And I feel like the situation is so it's so it's such a hostile situation.
00:31:33.700Like we don't know what's going to happen. And it's hard to predict because Canadians are like like we're dealing with this crisis of cost of living.
00:31:41.720Right. Young people are being completely blocked out of the housing market.
00:31:44.920Everything is so much more expensive as a result of Trudeau's policies, I can name a few.
00:31:50.660The printing of money and overspending during covid and beyond mass immigration.
00:31:55.780That's just made everything so much more expensive because there's so many people trying to get houses and there's a limited housing supply.
00:32:02.500And then also, of course, the carbon tax. It just puts extra tax on everything throughout the supply chain.
00:32:07.320So all those things together compounding.
00:32:09.500And he's going to call it a shadow tax. He's just like you can't up except he's literally saying it to all Canadians.
00:32:17.040And you're like. What is going on when it's some common sense in there?
00:32:22.740And I think for a lot of us, we just assume Pierre was going to get in basically in April.
00:32:27.460That's that's what we assumed a few months ago. And so much change since then.
00:32:33.320My hope is that things are going to change real fast.
00:32:36.280Well, how much I put, you know, I'm not staking my life on that.
00:32:43.600Like if Carney, all those things happen and then he looks at the polls, there was an Ipsos poll that came out last week that had him two points ahead for the first time in four years, a liberal up ahead.
00:32:53.620You think maybe they'll trigger an election. This is as good as it's going to get.
00:32:56.780Carney's in his honeymoon period. The media refuses to give a critical eye on him and his background, his policies and his many contradictions.
00:33:03.620Maybe he'll go for it. But then, Sean, there was another poll that came up this week that shows the conservatives are actually way ahead.
00:33:09.680And maybe that's a reflection of Carney of Canadians finally kind of look at this guy and saying, well, wait a minute.
00:33:16.100He didn't do very well in debates. He doesn't speak French very well.
00:33:20.000And like we're going to go through it later in the show here.
00:33:22.620But there is example after example after example of him contradicting himself.
00:33:27.160Now, I want to get to these election rumors that are swirling around.
00:33:30.580So Brian Lilly, who is a senior political correspondent for the Toronto Sun, he's in the know.
00:33:36.120He knows everybody. And he wrote this on X.
00:33:39.080He says a couple of things I'm hearing.
00:33:40.820Carney and his new smaller cabinet could be sworn in as soon as March 11th or 12th.
00:33:45.920Lots of speculation of a quick election call.
00:33:48.000I previously said March 16th, voting day, April 22nd.
00:33:51.680But some think a week or two later, some spooked over bad press for Carney over the past week or so.
00:33:57.320An internal debate is still going on or over going early or later is raging.
00:34:04.420And then we have Marty up north who was on the program earlier this week.
00:35:18.200Well, first, on the flights being booked, on Brian Lilly's post, I once had Tom Korski on from Black Rocks.
00:35:31.040And I think Tom Korski is as connected as anyone.
00:35:34.580And he said, you know, he told me six months ago, you know, when you look at what's happening, this only happens before a federal election.
00:35:41.900So anytime I hear that statement, I'm like, OK, well, I've been hearing that over the past eight months and every time it comes to pass and it never happens.
00:35:52.020So forgive me to your audience for being skeptical of anything at this point.
00:35:57.480I don't trust any of it until I hear there's an election being called.
00:36:04.760I'm waiting to see if an election's called.
00:36:08.620In the off chance that Eastern Canada votes in Mark Carney, I will tell your listeners, the separation, independence, whatever we're going to call it, movement in Alberta will go supersonic.
00:36:22.140Like, you cannot tell me what we have lived through in the last 10 years under this liberal government.
00:36:29.320If they're elected again, you want unity in this country?
00:36:43.360And then it builds to where Carney is possibly the prime minister of Canada for a four year stint.
00:36:50.220Yeah, no, like I, it pains me to say because I love Canada.
00:36:56.120But that conversation is going to go supersonic.
00:36:59.440It's going to go through the roof because Albertans are already frustrated.
00:37:02.540And I think they see some hope in the horizon, but that horizon was illusion and it just keeps getting pushed down the road and pushed down the road and pushed down the road.
00:37:13.640And until there's an election and we see what Eastern Canada is going to do.
00:37:17.860I don't know if there can be any talk of unifying Canada at this point.
00:42:35.060What other countries did that and fund governments, fund media and silence people?
00:42:41.780And I mean, this is why my frustration is at an all-time high.
00:42:47.180I just, to me, do you want a leader who addresses the questions?
00:42:51.320This is why I got all the time in the world for Daniel Smith, because she'll take some heaters at her head, you know, to use a baseball reference.
00:42:57.780And, you know, you can love or hate her answer, but she's going to try and answer to the best of her ability.
00:43:04.440Now, there's a whole conversation on the side of Daniel Smith that people love and hate, okay?
00:43:10.200But at least she's willing to answer questions and bring the audience in and have the media come.
00:43:15.180When you look at the leadership federally, this has become the trend.
00:45:24.620But our country as a whole, you know, to keep it united, to try and keep it as Canada, you know, you can't have four more years of Kearney.
00:45:33.260That is an insane, I can't put as many exclamation points behind that word, idea.
00:45:55.800So, early February, Mark Kearney is out in Kelowna, British Columbia, speaking to supporters.
00:46:01.420And he says that they are going to do everything they can to accelerate major critical infrastructure projects like pipelines, even use the emergency powers if necessary.
00:46:10.820And then just like two days later, he's on French CBC saying that he would never do that.
00:46:14.100He would never force a pipeline on Quebec.
00:46:32.700So, you know, yet another example of Mark Kearney exaggerating.
00:46:37.420Then he says that he claimed that he was the one that came and helped Paul Martin, Prime Minister, Liberal Prime Minister, balance the budget, the budget that was balanced all the way back in 1995.
00:46:47.740Well, it turns out he didn't even live in Canada at that point.
00:46:50.100He lived in Hong Kong working for Goldman Sachs.
00:46:52.280He didn't come back and he didn't start working for the Canadian Civil Service until the very, very, very end of Paul Martin's time in office.
00:47:02.080Next slide, he says that he had resigned from all of his positions, all of his board positions.
00:47:07.840He says, I have resigned from all of my board positions, full stop.
00:47:31.780Whoops, a few days later, the National Post is reporting that it's not actually the case, that they spoke with numerous organizations that Kearney had been affiliated with,
00:47:40.980and that he remains involved in at least five of these different organizations.
00:47:46.940Juno News follows up and points out that, for instance, Mark Kearney's name and face was still active on a group called the Global Carbon Marketing Utilities page.
00:47:57.720Mark Kearney was still listed as a co-chair of that organization up until the weekend.
00:48:02.720I think after we put our story up, they tried to take that down and wipe it.
00:48:06.280But again, examples of him not doing what he says, you know, just the tip of the iceberg.
00:48:13.820He also said, of course, sort of the most famous example at this point of him just not being honest with Canadians.
00:48:19.480He said that he had nothing to do with Brookfield Asset Management's decision to leave Canada and relocate to the United States.
00:48:25.600And yet we found out that he actually wrote a letter urging shareholders to vote in favor of it.
00:48:32.240And the only reason he wasn't there was just a technicality because a technical vote happened a few days after he had resigned.
00:48:38.160But basically, the decision was already made.
00:48:41.080I mean, again, like there's just nonstop.
00:48:43.140He was out there claiming that Canada supplies almost all of the semiconductors to the United States, saying that we do.
00:48:48.520The vast majority, it turns out, were like a very, very small percentage of it.
00:48:52.380He said that he helped save Canada during the financial crisis in 2008.
00:48:56.480And Stephen Harper, the prime minister, came out quite strongly and basically accused him of taking credit for the late Jim Flaherty and the role that Jim Flaherty paid.
00:49:07.360He's the one that made the tough choices, the tough calls.
00:49:10.020Mark Carney was lurking in the background.
00:49:11.420But to say that Mark Carney was the one that saved Canada is absolutely insulting to the conservatives who did the hard work, who made the tough decisions, who had to face an electorate that wasn't necessarily happy about this.
00:49:23.480So Carney just has this crazy habit of taking credit for all kinds of things that it turns out he didn't actually do.
00:49:32.260And the biggest concern to me, Sean, is that this is all happening.
00:49:35.960I just came up with nine examples in the past few months.
00:49:39.520And yet this is not the news that Canadians are getting.
00:49:41.860Canadians aren't seeing this information.
00:49:43.720They're not learning these facts because the legacy media is doing a complete disservice by trying to paint Mark Carney as a knight in shining armor swooping in to save Canada from yet another crisis.
00:49:58.400I don't know what to add to it, honestly.
00:50:01.420Like, you see a guy who's willing to do whatever he can to gain power, and that person scares me.
00:50:08.160I'm not a fan of most politicians, not because I say politicians, not because of a single person, just because of what getting into those offices does to people.
00:50:19.260There's a, you know, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts.
00:50:25.640And anyone willing to lie that much to get in, and it does not faze him, and he will not take questions from alternative media to registered media.
00:50:39.880Like, this has been, like, we're having the same conversation we've been having now for at least four years, if not five, and I'm just new to it.
00:50:49.080So maybe it's been 20, for all I know.
00:50:51.320You know, when I sit and talk to Chris Sims about some of these things, this isn't new.
00:50:55.300So, although to some it might be shocking, this is just more the game plan they've been doing.
00:51:03.160You know, like, from my new eyes to politics, and Candice, you've been staring at this a lot longer than I have.
00:51:10.640Is it a new idea to say one thing in English and a different thing in French?
00:51:17.160Is it a new idea to travel to Western Canada and go, pipelines are great, we can't wait, and then go back to Quebec and say, we'll never build one.
00:51:35.580And then with, you know, once again, people can love and hate Elon Musk, but him taking over Twitter, and now Facebook changing directions as well.
00:51:44.600Well, this messaging isn't staying siloed.
00:51:48.460It's starting to spread across so that you can see the contradictions all over the place.
00:51:54.160And so he's a scary human being, right?
00:51:55.900I mean, like, I can't imagine having a full-blown guy connected to the globalist agenda that has been in play in front of us, and just in front of me for my short time of staring at it.
00:52:10.820So none of it, it just makes me laugh, because if I'm sitting anywhere listening to this, and you're like, I haven't heard those nine things.
00:52:17.320It's like, well, just go do, like, 10-minute dive into Mark Carney and realize what he's saying to people right now, and that should unnerve everybody.
00:52:25.740And my hope, you know, the mainstream media in the States positioned it that there was no way Donald Trump was going to win the election.
00:52:34.720They positioned it that way, and then he won.
00:52:38.740And I haven't quite figured this out about Canada yet, and maybe you have an opinion on this, is we're staring at this, and they're positioning it the same way other countries have done on a leader that they obviously want.
00:52:51.480And my only question, I guess, to you is, does that represent what the eastern population of the world of Canada actually thinks?
00:53:03.460Or is it kind of like the States, where they're telling a story, getting everybody worked up, and the voter turnout on election day, whenever that happens, will tell and paint a different story?
00:53:16.260I think that there is some interest in Mark Carney and that the polls are starting to pick that up because he's new and because he's painted as this person who comes into crises and fixes things, right?
00:53:27.220And I think that on a surface level, Canadians, especially older Canadians who still are plugged in, unfortunately, to CBC and Legacy Media, they have that impression.
00:53:35.640But when you look beyond that and you see the issues facing Canadians, like just this issue of immigration in the GTA, like I don't talk to anybody from any community, right?
00:53:46.720Even immigrant communities, even people who came themselves, first-generation Canadians, they don't like what they see.
00:53:53.500They don't like what has happened under the Trudeau Liberals.
00:53:56.620And I think that that is something that remains incredibly strong.
00:54:00.420Now, Sean, we're going to continue this conversation over at JunoNews.com.
00:54:04.560We're going to cut off the show on X, on YouTube, and on Facebook.
00:54:08.900And for everyone who wants to come on and hear the rest of the show, we're going to talk about some spicy issues, including the latest with the transgender issue, which seems to be totally different in the United States than it is in Canada.
00:54:19.880It's like Canada is still stuck in this woke dystopia while the Americans have finally moved back towards common sense.
00:54:26.580So we're going to continue that all over at JunoNews.com.
