While Prime Minister Mark Carney was on his gallivanting adventure around Europe, meaning with random European leaders in Ukraine, Poland, and Latvia, yesterday he got called out by a German reporter for effectively lying about Canada's ability to supply countries like Germany with raw resources, including LNG.
00:00:02.780I love this story on a couple of different levels.
00:00:06.080Of course, you and I both love seeing liars getting called out.
00:00:10.360But I also love seeing the liberals undermined by their own arrogance.
00:00:15.060They tend to forget that outside of Canada, they do not pay the media to ask them friendly questions.
00:00:21.760And recently, while Prime Minister Mark Carney was on his gallivanting adventure around Europe,
00:00:27.600meaning with random European leaders in Ukraine, Poland, and Latvia,
00:00:32.560yesterday, 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.
00:00:44.260Again, he forgot that the CBC is not in Germany, that the Canadian government does not pay German reporters to say nice things to them.
00:00:52.540And so this is a lot of fun to watch, because yes, Carney is lying, and then you get to see him uncomfortably fiddle around,
00:01:00.380trying to get out of the fact that he was called out for lying in front of the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Mertz,
00:01:07.120when this whole press conference was about Canada trying to strengthen our partnership with them.
00:01:12.920We're trying to strengthen our partnership with Germany.
00:01:15.120Before I get into it, though, I do want to remind you guys, if you like the channel, leave a like on the video.
00:01:19.740Subscribe if you like the content, and if you're not subscribed, of course.
00:01:23.920I'm trying to get to 100,000 subscribers by mid-December of this year,
00:01:27.540and then leave a comment on what you think about this whole situation.
00:01:31.260But without further ado, here is Mark Carney being called out by this reporter in Germany.
00:06:15.780You are saying things that are objectively not happening because you might want to do them at some point because it's not happening.
00:06:23.200That's it's so embarrassing that this you imagine showing up to a country trying to seem like a big shot.
00:06:29.480And then a reporter has to mention the fact that everything you've set up to this point doesn't actually matter.
00:06:34.180It's the number one focus of this government is to build that infrastructure and particularly infrastructure that helps us deepen our partnership.
00:06:44.540Now, I just want to move on to another issue, and it was pretty bad for for Mark Carney as well.
00:06:55.880And it has to do with the question, of course, asked in German to the German chancellor.
00:07:01.380And it was on the Carney government's recognition of a Palestinian state.
00:07:06.940For some reason, we decided it would be a great idea to recognize a terror state in the Middle East.
00:07:12.140And yes, Gaza run by Hamas and the West Bank run by Fatah and the Palestinian Authority are absolutely terror states.
00:07:19.080And Mertz says, Germany will not join allies initiative to recognize Palestinian state.
00:07:26.960And he says down here, quote, the position of the federal government is clear.
00:07:31.040As far as the possible recognition of the state of Palestine is concerned, Mertz says, quote, Canada knows this.
00:07:42.460And, yeah, and this is actually causing Mark Carney to have to backpedal because it was such a bad look for him.
00:07:49.940He's basically had to say, oh, no, no, we also want the requirements met, but we want to gesture.
00:07:54.960We 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.
00:08:02.440You 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.
00:08:11.180And by the way, we tried to have there was a vote that was attempted to be passed on recognizing Palestine in Trudeau's government.
00:08:19.280That 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.
00:08:35.740Here is Anthony Koshier posting a excerpt from an article where Carney starts trying to walk all this back.
00:08:43.040And 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.
00:08:53.100And even if you do what they want, they will just attack you more.
00:08:56.320But Anthony Koshier says translation, quote, Canada will not recognize a Palestinian state.
00:09:02.300This is like asking a girl out and she says she'll say yes, provided you give her $10 million.
00:09:15.760This 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.
00:09:39.100So, 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.
00:09:51.880It'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.
00:10:02.620If it becomes fully democratic, then we will partner with them.
00:10:06.200It's like, well, then why even say anything in the first place?
00:10:08.500And in fact, they were serious about it, and now they're trying to walk it back.
00:10:13.300They just have to do this thing that we know they will not do, and then we will be fully recognizing them.
00:10:18.640It'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.
00:10:30.780Same thing happened on the digital services tax, same thing has already happened on the pipeline, like, major projects bill, Bill C-5.
00:10:39.720Yeah, 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.
00:10:52.580So it's something that fast-tracks major projects, but we're not actually going to fast-track the slowest part of the process.
00:11:13.140Actually, 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.
00:11:28.200He didn't name-check Polyev, but I knew he was talking about him, and it just came off as very awkward.
00:11:33.860Like, I know the Latvian president probably doesn't get the references, but you're in Latvia.
00:11:39.980The thing is that your opposition usually takes shots at you, and you're supposed to ignore them and just do a good job.
00:11:46.380If 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.
00:11:58.180Not by doing actual good work, but just, you know, getting a really good, you know, funny line in there.
00:12:03.620But anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
