00:00:00.000This is an interesting but not surprising development.
00:00:03.880Industry leaders are starting to come out and tell Mark Carney that he has to get back to the table to hammer out a trade deal with the United States.
00:00:13.300Mark Carney can have his approval ratings soar among elbows-up Canadians, but at the end of the day, the spreadsheets are going to be what matters.
00:00:22.460When companies start losing money, when they cannot get access to certain resources, there is no elbows up, you know, marketing program that's going to get them to fall into line.
00:00:32.580Right now, we have people like the HVAC industry showing up to Parliament Hill to make official statements asking both sides to start negotiating again.
00:00:44.520We are here today to address the significant challenges our industry and consumers are facing.
00:00:51.100The ongoing Canada-U.S. trade tensions are creating significant challenges for Canada's HVACR industry.
00:00:58.980Our industry operates with an highly integrated North American market.
00:01:03.220In fact, Canada is the world's largest consumer of HVACR products from the United States.
00:01:10.200As industry leaders, we met this week in Gatineau, Quebec, just across the river from our nation's capital.
00:01:15.940Our industry is united in calling attention to the sector's exposure to trade barriers
00:01:21.020and negative impacts on Canadian businesses, Canadian workers, and most importantly, Canadian consumers.
00:01:27.460This week we spoke to our American counterparts in the industry
00:01:30.580to address the mutual importance of returning to normal barrier-free trade between Canada and the United States.
00:01:37.300We have been appreciative of the support of our American counterparts in Washington, D.C.
00:01:42.660U.S. industry groups, including the Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Distributors International, Hardy, the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute, AHRI, the Air Conditioning Contractors of America, ACCA, and the Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Contractors Association, PHCC, sent joint letters, sent a joint letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer,
00:02:12.280expressing strong support for the United States, Mexico, Canada agreement, USMCA,
00:02:18.600and urging the administration to protect agreements, benefits for heating, ventilation,
00:02:25.320air conditioning, refrigeration, and water heating industry.
00:02:28.300Now, they are always saying a lot of acronyms, so it's a little bit annoying here,
00:02:31.740but they effectively showed up to be the Canadian counterpart to those groups,
00:02:36.660saying that Mark Carney needs to get back to the negotiating table,
00:02:40.620because again the problem is when your industry can literally not get the products it needs to
00:02:46.220function there is no well you know we're just gonna be canada strong we're just gonna link arms
00:02:53.680and buy canadian the problem is in this integrated market some very specific uh you know pieces of
00:03:01.200equipment some very specific parts are only going to be made on one side of the border and not
00:03:06.600another if it's cheapest to make it in michigan you're going to do it there if it's cheaper in
00:03:10.920ontario you're going to do it there and so this is the thing that mark carney is going to be bumping
00:03:15.720up against the fact that your political rhetoric is not lining up with the reality of what people
00:03:21.400are actually willing to handle uh together these associations represent manufacturers
00:03:27.960wholesalers distributors and their letter notes that mark has allowed companies to invest in
00:03:33.640North American production. I want to skip ahead and see if we get to some more points they start
00:03:37.240making about Canada. For them, maintaining a strong and predictable USMCA will support continued
00:03:43.560investment in HUACR manufacturing across North America, support US workers and businesses
00:03:50.200throughout the supply chain, and ensure that essential heating, cooling, ventilation and
00:03:55.320refrigeration equipment remains available when consumers and businesses need it. The Canadian
00:04:02.040industry supports a return to trade policies that benefit consumers and workers on both sides of the
00:04:08.180border. We joined him in highlighting that trade-based disruptions in equipment and
00:04:14.760replacement part availability can affect North American consumers and businesses far beyond the
00:04:22.220HVACR industry. Now, I don't slag this guy at all for not being as, you know, a charismatic public
00:04:27.800speaker. I'm not either. But he is making his point clearly that, again, you can't just simply
00:04:33.680tell these businesses to go without it when they literally do not have it in our country.
00:04:39.400But what is Prime Minister Mark Carney doing? Well, he's telling Canadians that we're going
00:04:45.660to integrate with the EU alongside their four freedoms, which will allow them to have
00:04:52.240labor market and migration access into canada without canadian representation in the eu because
00:04:59.020we'd only be an associate member check out this post it was actually posted by scott robertson
00:05:04.000which i always find funny because he's from midas media or midas canada an american progressive
00:05:08.760front group in canada and he was presenting this as like a positive clip could this get into things0.97
00:05:14.880like labor mobility the ability to live and work visa free and each other's jerks uh you could see0.86
00:05:20.160enhanced labor mobility, elements of enhanced labor mobility. Obviously, the four freedoms in
00:05:24.360Europe are tied together. So there's limits to that, but you can see enhanced that. Certainly
00:05:29.060enhanced educational opportunities, enhanced research cooperation. There is a huge host of
00:05:34.500areas where we can work together. It's an exciting time. Look, it's not going to be solved this week
00:05:39.180in Strasbourg. Just to be clear, it's the start of a process, but it's a start of a high ambition
00:05:45.240process. People realize how dangerous this could be. I'm a free trade guy. By the way,
00:05:52.140Stephen Harper and the Conservatives back in 2013 had already made a free trade agreement,
00:05:58.020had sent it to the EU, and all of them, and there's 10 EU members that had not actually
00:06:03.820ratified it. It was never a problem with Canada. It was always a problem with the EU.
00:06:07.980So the EU couldn't even agree to a free trade agreement with Canada. And now we're going to
00:06:13.160integrate with them more. And if you're not aware, these are the four freedoms that he's mentioning
00:06:17.840in Europe. Free movement of goods, free movement of services, free movement of people, and free
00:06:23.560movement of capital. Now, why I find that slightly concerning is when we talk about free movement of
00:06:30.940people and capital, are we effectively saying that Canadian jobs and money or Canadian capital
00:06:37.760might be flooding out of the country to go to a european country instead or that a european
00:06:44.100workers especially from european countries where wages are not very good that they could also start
00:06:49.740competing with canadians because it's free late movement labor or free movement of labor so spanish
00:06:55.720people you know people from greece people from other poor uh eu countries they are allowed to
00:07:02.920come over at least relatively poor compared to canada they're allowed to come over and just start0.88
00:07:08.180taking jobs in this country and i guess we could vice versa do it over there but you know as much
00:07:13.880as canada is hurting under the liberals we're still a much more prosperous country than many
00:07:19.180of these kind of middle power countries or smaller powers in the european union so that seems like a
00:07:25.220relationship that would mainly just benefit them at this point because there's no jobs that you
00:07:31.940could go and move and probably take in the eu but they probably have jobs in canada that they could
00:07:36.960fill at a lower wage or salary anyways so in just a second i want to bring up some other stuff that
00:07:43.520ended up happening today regarding trump iran and china carney actually said something on iran i
00:07:49.780agree with and i always do like to highlight whenever he says something that i do agree with
00:07:53.900because you know it's good to be fair and balanced uh but before we get into that i just want to
00:07:58.280remind you guys if you like the show make sure to leave a like on the video subscribe if you are not
00:08:03.100yet a subscriber help me get to 100,000 subscribers we hit 97,000 this morning and of course if you
00:08:09.560want to join the channel and become a monthly contributor always consider hitting the join
00:08:13.660button and doing that to make the channel more sustainable but now let's jump into Mark Carney
00:08:18.920talking about Trump and Xi Jinping meeting trying to attack Trump or make excuses for himself for
00:08:25.400how much he's integrating Canada with China, pretending like Trump is basically doing the
00:08:30.340same thing. With President Xi meeting President Trump, the White House and President Trump has
00:08:35.040been very critical of Canada reestablishing commercial ties with China and so on. What do
00:08:40.880you make of the meeting this week? And just looking for your thoughts, please. Well, the
00:08:45.900United States has far deeper cooperation with China than Canada does. The United States has
00:08:52.740far deeper cooperation today in some of the most important strategic technologies on the planet
00:08:59.840with China than Canada does. That's an observation. Thank you. That's an observation.
00:09:06.360I'm just going to call that true but wrong. Does America actually integrate quite a bit with China
00:09:14.480on certain matters? Yes. I would also say that they kind of pay the hypocrisy bill since they
00:09:21.280spend a lot of money on the military and protecting the world from hostile foreign powers
00:09:27.260america is the country that would be backing up taiwan if china tried to invade them
00:09:33.120canada's not going to do that we might send out a strongly worded letter but that's about it that's
00:09:39.760why i always find this stuff just maddening whenever we try and say well you know they
00:09:43.980talk to them too they'll their militaries talk too it's like yeah but the last time our military
00:09:50.360was talking with the Chinese government we were training their troops for winter combat the
00:09:55.900Americans talk to the Chinese military because they need to know what they're doing so then they
00:10:00.780don't fire missiles at each other by misinterpreting the other side's moves these are very different
00:10:06.360situations and by the way this is being reported by Jasmine Lane this is quite a breaking piece
00:10:13.060of news, if it is true, that with Canada's entwinement with China, it actually ended up
00:10:20.820absolutely being a problem in the trade talks, because this was leaked out apparently by Jameson
00:10:28.080Greer trying to detail why the talks ended up falling through between Canada and America on
00:10:33.060the trade deal. Jasmine Lane here says, breaking, Jameson Greer gives more details about the collapse
00:10:40.760of the trade talks now alleging that canadian officials at the last minute wanted special
00:10:46.040access and exemptions for evs after signing the deal to import chinese electric vehicles
00:10:52.200and that is absolutely the key point at the end there we signed a deal to start letting china dump
00:10:58.520ev vehicles into our uh into our country 39 000 in the first year i believe was the number 37 39
00:11:07.480whatever it's going to go up from there they're going to be able to dump electric vehicles
00:11:11.800where they most likely stole a lot of the ip and patents in order to make them and canada was0.78
00:11:17.400asking yeah yeah we just signed this thing to let china start dumping evs in our economy0.57
00:11:22.840being you know using stolen ip and like basically sweatshop labor but can you let them come across0.90
00:11:29.560the border duty free can you do that can you do that for us it's like oh my goodness do people0.99
00:11:35.480not realize how stupid that is of course the americans are not going to agree to that but0.97
00:11:41.020mark carney has this strange need to not be american he is more willing to work with china0.99
00:11:48.760the country he said was our greatest national security threat and the eu which is just unrealistic
00:11:54.100to shift a lot of our trade over to because he just doesn't want to work with the americans
00:12:00.000but now i do want to bring up this one strange clip where he actually said something about donald
00:12:04.700trump that's actually accurate and and good uh here is him talking about the war in iran and
00:12:09.820actually backing up donald trump saying he wants to destroy iran mr trump in his speech said that
00:12:17.660he may wish to destroy iran and in the very hall of the united nations which who has which has
00:12:28.860the mandate to maintain peace i'd like your reaction to that well my first comment is that0.54
00:12:38.540the iranian threat is one of the greatest threats in the current world there is still a threat and
00:12:53.980And that word is a little bit too diplomatic, but there is an existential threat that Iran poses to Israel and its allies.0.98
00:13:07.840That is not acceptable, and it will never be acceptable for Iran to have the ability to strike using nuclear weapons.
00:13:23.980The important thing is to try and work consistently under international law to resolve this situation.
00:13:35.400Now, once he goes into international law, it gets annoying, like, because I don't care about international law.
00:13:41.000What international law? There's a war.
00:13:42.840You know, I understand that you need to be as ethical as possible in fighting a war.
00:13:46.960But actually, in his own statement, he kind of backed up that Trump, like, he's just using the language of war.
00:13:53.460so who really cares and it's like oh my goodness can can mark carney be more reasonable this way0.99
00:13:58.080whenever trump makes a 51st state joke i don't like them they're stupid but they're jokes and0.99
00:14:04.100mark carney keeps saying no they're trying to annex us they want to break us so that they can0.99
00:14:08.060own us but then when trump says i want to destroy iran carney's like well of course he's just talking
00:14:12.720in the language of war and he doesn't like mean he's actually going to vaporize them because as
00:14:16.960it's written here it says carney says well there is a war underway and he's speaking the language
00:14:22.180of war that was a little bit later on in the clip or maybe it was a mistranslation from the
00:14:28.020translator and then they corrected it later but you know fair enough that's accurate i just wish
00:14:33.600he would actually apply that same standard to times when he's like dealing with trump making
00:14:39.740like you know maybe rude remarks about canada and now i want to pull up a clip that kind of
00:14:45.140contradicts everything that he was talking about there that you know america and saudi arabia and
00:14:51.040Israel, they are justified in fighting back against Iran, considering the existential threat
00:14:55.740they, you know, they represent. And now, now Karni is going to have $100 million to Palestine.
00:15:01.840In Gaza, immense human suffering continues. Next door, Israelis continue to live with0.99
00:15:10.980existential threats from Hamas and from Iran and its proxies. A long held international consensus
00:15:19.440for two-state solution, a consensus held by every one of my predecessors since the formation
00:15:26.080of this organization. That long-held consensus will mean nothing if these conditions continue,
00:15:32.760and so Canada is doing what it can to help change the trajectory.
00:15:36.860To that end is one part. I'm announcing $100 million in international assistance for Palestine,
00:15:43.040$80 million of which is for humanitarian aid to alleviate immediate human suffering,
00:15:47.640and $20 million to support peace and security capacity building, including our leadership of police training in the West Bank.
00:15:57.340Police training in the West Bank. Yes, let's train the police of Fatah, hoping that they won't use the skills for terrorism because, you know, Fatah, the armed wing of the Palestinian Authority, is, you know, hopefully not a terrorist group, even though they totally are.0.50
00:16:14.480He even just mentioned the threat posed by Hamas and Hezbollah, Hamas being in Gaza, which is also considered Palestine.
00:16:22.760So we're going to give these people money, humanitarian aid that so often just ends up getting given to only Hamas and, you know, Islamic Jihad there as well.
00:16:35.340Is there nowhere in Canada we could spend $100 million better?
00:16:39.280we could offset the entire cost of David Eby's unnecessary election in British Columbia right now
00:16:44.600by giving the $100 million to BC. But no, we are going to give it to Palestine and hope that they0.95
00:16:50.800do not end up having that money trickle into the hands of people who want to launch rockets at
00:16:55.520Israel. Yeah, isn't that great, everyone? Fantastic. Good news all around. Clap, clap,
00:17:00.780clap. We also gave $125 million to Brazil for climate change. We also gave a bunch of money
00:17:06.360to benin uh we also gave a bunch of money i don't even know who else we gave money to oh yeah we
00:17:11.320gave money to to ukraine all these other countries this is all adding up by the end of the year to
00:17:16.640like billions of dollars and it's like dude you really can't think of a single thing we could
00:17:22.380spend the money on inside of canada not that i think all domestic spending is good the alto high
00:17:27.980speed rail should be canceled i'm not saying uh you know i international spending bad domestic
00:17:33.280expending good but at this time there's nothing we can figure out a better use of our money you
00:17:39.800know really we're going to give money to Palestine and to Brazil for climate change but we don't have
00:17:46.400the money to try and fund actual infrastructure upgrades or new projects or anything like that
00:17:52.320now I don't want government to be the main driver of investment into these things0.87
00:17:56.480would be better than just paying a bunch of money to a terrorist-run Palestinian Authority government
00:18:03.540in the West Bank. I at least think that's probably somewhat true. Anyways, so that should be it for0.96
00:18:10.780the video today. I just wanted to give you guys this kind of brief flyover of everything that's
00:18:16.300going on. We're having industry ramp the pressure up on the liberals to get back talking. We have
00:18:21.460Carney trying to take shots at Trump because he talks to China too don't you know it's different
00:18:27.800guys do I think the America should have less to do with China over time yes they also pay for the
00:18:33.300national security of the Pacific region so they do pay the hypocrisy tax more than Canada does
00:18:40.360then we of course went over the Iran comments we went over the Palestine stuff all that fun stuff
00:18:47.040I will be trying to give you guys more updates about what is going on in British Columbia
00:18:51.040as the day goes on uh there is just so much garbage going down right now in bc like the bc
00:18:57.520conservative interim leader who's apparently now going to be the permanent leader to lauren dirksen
00:19:02.360was on cbc or whatever news channel and he just said yeah we're not going to be talking about soji
00:19:07.440and some people are trying to justify it like well the soji stuff in in classrooms that doesn't
00:19:13.540really matter that's the sexual orientation and gender identity programming in schools well it
00:19:17.960doesn't matter in this election it's all about drippa and it's like okay so why did they bring
00:19:22.160back all the center bc people and peter millibar who in the bc conservative leadership race were
00:19:28.120either peter himself or his endorsers who were backing a guy whose plan on drippa was to repeal
00:19:34.300it but then replace it with a reconciliation act so we get to slightly improve drippa we we get rid
00:19:42.980of drippa and we bring back better drippa it's like what are we doing people and the thing is
00:19:48.440that there's all these messages on social media right now a bit of a rant here all these people
00:19:52.720being like you guys you all need to unify unify behind the bc conservative brand right now because
00:19:58.020david eby and the ndp and it's like guys i hate david eby and the ndp more than anybody
00:20:04.400but if the bc conservative party is kicking their own members in the face saying yes you
00:20:12.220elected Carrie Lynn Finley, but now we're going to harass her until she leaves office and install1.00
00:20:16.520a different guy. Why should people actually show up if you haven't learned your lesson yet? This is1.00
00:20:23.660why 1BC started. This is why I work for Dallas Brody in 1BC, because parties need to stand for
00:20:30.860the right things before they run and demand people support. I'm not saying that perfection
00:20:38.540is required. I'm saying that something that is far below the bare minimum is not good enough.
00:20:45.380It's pathetic that these people are just saying that you should fall in line with the people who0.67
00:20:49.040disrespected you so much they wouldn't let the duly elected leader of the BC Conservatives0.96
00:20:53.560actually keep going. Imagine if Danielle Smith, after she was first elected as the UCP leader
00:21:00.320in 2022, when she was running in the by-election in order to get into office,
00:21:08.540In that by-election, during it, she was being leaked on, threatened, blackmailed, bullied, all of that stuff, harassed out of office.
00:21:19.160And then a bunch of MLAs from the UCP, I'm not naming names because I don't think there's anyone like this in the UCP.
00:21:24.920Alberta actually has conservative conservatives.
00:21:27.380There's some people who are a little more progressive conservative, but they're still fundamentally conservatives.
00:21:32.140But let's imagine, though, they were the caliber of people in the B.C. Conservative Party, and they just left to go over to the Alberta Party.
00:21:40.100And nine of them demanded, well, we'll come back if Daniel Smith is turfed.
00:21:44.020And they turf Daniel Smith, and they come back, and they declare unity, and now you must vote for us because Rachel Notley and the NDP are so bad.
00:21:50.900That would be a little cynical, wouldn't it be?
