00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:02.780 I love this story on a couple of different levels.
00:00:06.080 Of course, you and I both love seeing liars getting called out.
00:00:10.360 But I also love seeing the liberals undermined by their own arrogance.
00:00:15.060 They tend to forget that outside of Canada, they do not pay the media to ask them friendly questions.
00:00:21.760 And recently, while Prime Minister Mark Carney was on his gallivanting adventure around Europe,
00:00:27.600 meaning with random European leaders in Ukraine, Poland, and Latvia,
00:00:32.560 yesterday, he got called out by a German reporter for effectively lying about our ability to actually supply countries like Germany with raw resources, including LNG.
00:00:44.260 Again, he forgot that the CBC is not in Germany, that the Canadian government does not pay German reporters to say nice things to them.
00:00:52.540 And so this is a lot of fun to watch, because yes, Carney is lying, and then you get to see him uncomfortably fiddle around,
00:01:00.380 trying to get out of the fact that he was called out for lying in front of the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Mertz,
00:01:07.120 when this whole press conference was about Canada trying to strengthen our partnership with them.
00:01:12.920 We're trying to strengthen our partnership with Germany.
00:01:15.120 Before I get into it, though, I do want to remind you guys, if you like the channel, leave a like on the video.
00:01:19.740 Subscribe if you like the content, and if you're not subscribed, of course.
00:01:23.920 I'm trying to get to 100,000 subscribers by mid-December of this year,
00:01:27.540 and then leave a comment on what you think about this whole situation.
00:01:31.260 But without further ado, here is Mark Carney being called out by this reporter in Germany.
00:01:37.700 Thank you.
00:01:39.580 Prime Minister, just one question about raw materials.
00:01:43.160 Could you please explore a bit more what Canada can realistically actually offer to Germany and Europe,
00:01:50.200 given the fact that ports on the East Coast and also pipelines are still lacking?
00:01:55.280 And as a former central banker, how worried are you about the stability of the US financial system
00:02:00.680 because of the interventions of Trump at the Fed?
00:02:04.300 And, Herr Bundeskanzler, haben Sie auch über das Thema Nahost-Israel-Anerkennung palästinensischer Staat gesprochen?
00:02:12.400 Denn Kanada hat ja angekündigt, dass es im September einen palästinensischen Staat anerkennen will, genauso wie...
00:02:18.760 Now, he is asking Mertz a question in German, but this one I actually will also get to a bit later.
00:02:24.800 It's specifically about Israel, Palestine, and Canada's absolutely insane position on this.
00:02:30.540 But I want to see Mark Carney's answer on the first part, before we will get to the other articles on what Mertz says.
00:02:37.380 Frankreich und Großbritannien. Hat das bei Ihnen Eindruck hinterlassen?
00:02:42.700 Wird Deutschland diesen Weg auch gehen, gerade nach diesem Angriff, den wir jetzt erlebt haben?
00:02:46.800 Okay. Okay. You're welcome to take the second part of my question, if you wish.
00:02:53.460 Thanks for the question. Look, there is a huge range of immediate opportunities with respect to critical metals and minerals.
00:03:00.540 And there are medium-term opportunities with respect to all forms of energy, including LNG and hydrogen.
00:03:07.020 What he means by medium-term, guys, right here, is we can't provide it.
00:03:12.620 He told Chancellor Friedrich Mertz that Canada is going to be giving you guys clean LNG
00:03:18.120 so that you can basically get off of Russian oil and gas.
00:03:21.380 And we have zero ability to provide it.
00:03:24.580 In fact, this same situation happened almost in reverse last year, or was it 2023,
00:03:31.160 between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and then-Chancellor Olaf Scholz,
00:03:35.940 where Olaf Scholz came by and basically begged us to give them LNG.
00:03:41.040 You know, they're trying to wean themselves off of Russian resources. 0.98
00:03:44.200 And Trudeau just said, I'm sorry, there's no business case.
00:03:48.020 He has the leader of a more economically powerful country for the first time respecting him, 0.98
00:03:53.320 saying, please, Justin, can you just get your crap together and sell us some LNG? 0.98
00:03:58.580 And Justin Trudeau couldn't do it. 0.98
00:04:00.420 And now we're in a situation where it's kind of reversed.
00:04:02.680 We're going and proposing to sell stuff to Germany.
00:04:05.440 And they say, well, do you have any capacity to sell it to us?
00:04:07.760 And we're like, well, no, but medium term, medium term, we will totally do stuff.
00:04:13.000 These are the sorts of things I could show up, you know, household Claypool,
00:04:16.920 you know, myself is going to show up and have a press conference with Olaf Scholz.
00:04:20.360 And I'm just going to keep you doing a lot of hand motions and talking about,
00:04:22.960 hey, I'm going to be making sure to send you a lot of stuff in the near future.
00:04:27.000 I don't have the stuff, but in the long term, I'm going to send you stuff.
00:04:30.520 You're going to get so much stuff from us.
00:04:32.760 It's embarrassing when we have our prime minister going around having nothing to offer anybody.
00:04:37.760 And I'll quickly explain how we make those happen.
00:04:42.360 Our government is in the process of unleashing half a trillion dollars of investment
00:04:47.820 in energy infrastructure, port infrastructure, particularly intelligence infrastructure as well with AI.
00:04:56.240 And a number of those investments, the first of which we will be formally announcing in the next two weeks,
00:05:03.880 are with respect to new port infrastructure.
00:05:08.100 And some of the examples in the public domain will include...
00:05:11.100 Whenever we can get the port infrastructure done, he realizes that there takes time to build a port.
00:05:16.320 So we're going to tell Germany, we're going to send you stuff on through the port that isn't even built yet. 0.65
00:05:22.720 But you guys are going to get so much stuff from that port.
00:05:24.820 Like, my goodness, this is so elementary.
00:05:29.540 It's so model UN.
00:05:31.880 Just standing up and saying, well, if Vietnam would be kind enough to do this for us,
00:05:37.980 then we will send them eight grillion dollars.
00:05:40.760 And then everyone claps.
00:05:41.800 Oh, what a great negotiated position there.
00:05:44.120 And that's what Carney's doing.
00:05:45.320 He is literally negotiating with fantasy resources.
00:05:48.660 Clued from reinforcing and building on the port of Montreal, Contreco, a new port effectively in Churchill, Manitoba,
00:05:59.840 which would open up enormous LNG plus other opportunities and other East Coast ports for those critical metals and minerals.
00:06:09.480 So there is a lot happening.
00:06:12.580 It's not happening.
00:06:14.240 That's the point.
00:06:14.800 It's not happening.
00:06:15.780 You are saying things that are objectively not happening because you might want to do them at some point because it's not happening.
00:06:23.200 That's it's so embarrassing that this you imagine showing up to a country trying to seem like a big shot.
00:06:29.480 And then a reporter has to mention the fact that everything you've set up to this point doesn't actually matter.
00:06:34.180 It's the number one focus of this government is to build that infrastructure and particularly infrastructure that helps us deepen our partnership.
00:06:44.540 Now, I just want to move on to another issue, and it was pretty bad for for Mark Carney as well.
00:06:55.880 And it has to do with the question, of course, asked in German to the German chancellor.
00:07:01.380 And it was on the Carney government's recognition of a Palestinian state.
00:07:06.940 For some reason, we decided it would be a great idea to recognize a terror state in the Middle East. 0.99
00:07:12.140 And yes, Gaza run by Hamas and the West Bank run by Fatah and the Palestinian Authority are absolutely terror states.
00:07:19.080 And Mertz says, Germany will not join allies initiative to recognize Palestinian state.
00:07:26.960 And he says down here, quote, the position of the federal government is clear.
00:07:31.040 As far as the possible recognition of the state of Palestine is concerned, Mertz says, quote, Canada knows this.
00:07:38.280 We will not join this initiative.
00:07:39.960 We do.
00:07:40.440 We don't see the requirements met.
00:07:42.460 And, yeah, and this is actually causing Mark Carney to have to backpedal because it was such a bad look for him.
00:07:49.940 He's basically had to say, oh, no, no, we also want the requirements met, but we want to gesture.
00:07:54.960 We want to put a gesture out there that we may want to recognize an evil terror state that, you know, this is how you do foreign policy. 0.87
00:08:02.440 You make an announcement and then you have to quickly wheel it back because you didn't actually expect to have to, you know, make good on what you said.
00:08:11.180 And by the way, we tried to have there was a vote that was attempted to be passed on recognizing Palestine in Trudeau's government.
00:08:19.280 That didn't even pass because there was enough rational people saying, no, you kind of recognize a state currently being occupied and run by a terrorist organization who not only are trying to murder Israelis, but they murder their own people on a routine basis.
00:08:35.740 Here is Anthony Koshier posting a excerpt from an article where Carney starts trying to walk all this back.
00:08:43.040 And my goodness, he should have already walked it back when all the Palestine crazies started protesting his ministers who did what they wanted, because it turns out these are just terrible people.
00:08:53.100 And even if you do what they want, they will just attack you more.
00:08:56.320 But Anthony Koshier says translation, quote, Canada will not recognize a Palestinian state.
00:09:02.300 This is like asking a girl out and she says she'll say yes, provided you give her $10 million.
00:09:06.900 Is it theoretically possible? Sure.
00:09:09.080 But in reality, nothing happening.
00:09:10.480 And this is the new Carney position.
00:09:14.620 You can read the quote here.
00:09:15.760 This intention is predicated on the Palestinian Authority's commitment to much needed reforms, including the commitments by Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, to fundamentally reform its governments, to hold general elections in 2026, in which Hamas can play no part and to demilitarize the Palestinian state.
00:09:39.100 So, yeah, that's not going to happen, not because it would be stupid to on the part of the Palestinian Authority, it would be, you know, impossible in terms of just who they are. 0.93
00:09:51.880 It's like saying, let's form an alliance with North Korea, provided that they become a democracy tomorrow, a democracy that runs on tech, that is its main sector.
00:10:02.620 If it becomes fully democratic, then we will partner with them.
00:10:06.200 It's like, well, then why even say anything in the first place?
00:10:08.500 And in fact, they were serious about it, and now they're trying to walk it back.
00:10:12.080 Like, we are still serious.
00:10:13.300 They just have to do this thing that we know they will not do, and then we will be fully recognizing them.
00:10:18.640 It's just embarrassing how Carney will just put out pie-in-the-sky policy out there and then get whacked on the nose and then have to reverse it the next couple of weeks.
00:10:30.780 Same thing happened on the digital services tax, same thing has already happened on the pipeline, like, major projects bill, Bill C-5.
00:10:39.720 Yeah, I guess we passed it, but he then proceeded to tell every single indigenous group that he's not actually going to do an end run around the consultation process, which is the main thing that prevents projects from being completed.
00:10:52.580 So it's something that fast-tracks major projects, but we're not actually going to fast-track the slowest part of the process.
00:11:00.840 Great idea. Good job, guys.
00:11:03.160 But anyways, so that's it for this video, guys.
00:11:05.860 I just wanted to do a short little dissection of what happened there in Germany with Mark Carney.
00:11:11.240 The Europe trip is going great.
00:11:13.140 Actually, in Latvia, it's a bit of more of a long clip, but he started trying to take, like, shadow jabs at Pierre Polyev, which felt really weird, because he acted like Polyev was somehow, like, in favor of Russia.
00:11:28.200 He didn't name-check Polyev, but I knew he was talking about him, and it just came off as very awkward.
00:11:33.860 Like, I know the Latvian president probably doesn't get the references, but you're in Latvia.
00:11:38.560 You know, maybe drop it.
00:11:39.980 The thing is that your opposition usually takes shots at you, and you're supposed to ignore them and just do a good job.
00:11:46.380 If you're reacting to your opposition taking shots, it's because you're not doing a good job, and the only way that you could rhetorically win is by trying to get a better jab on them, like, to counter them.
00:11:58.180 Not by doing actual good work, but just, you know, getting a really good, you know, funny line in there.
00:12:03.620 But anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:12:06.520 Like, share, and subscribe.
00:12:08.440 Do all that great stuff.
00:12:09.500 And I will see you guys all later.
