00:08:40.340So now we can end it there, but notice how little, they gave very short shrift, almost no shrift, to what J.D. Vance said about Mark Carney.
00:08:49.120He mentioned that Canada's going in a more Trumpian direction, and when he says that, he means that Canada's doing what Trump wants.
00:08:55.760And again, I don't dislike Trump as a politician.
00:08:58.040If I was an American living in America, I'd probably think he's pretty okay.
00:09:01.400I'd probably still not like the tariffs because I'm a free trade guy and I think tariffs are stupid, but it doesn't really matter from the Canadian perspective what Trump does.
00:09:09.800It matters how we respond to it, and we responded very poorly.
00:09:14.120And what CTV News cut out of that, and now we're going to go to CBC to see if they mention it, was that he went after Carney for talking tough and completely falling apart under pressure from Donald Trump.
00:09:28.140He made remarks about Carney puffing his chest out and trying to be a tough guy and then folding at the last minute when Donald Trump was threatening higher tariffs.
00:09:38.760That seems like the thing they should have mentioned, but they just focus on a more vague statement he made about Canada turning Trumpian, which probably doesn't even really make sense to the average viewer watching it because, you know, it's a very strange thing for him to say.
00:09:51.560Well, obviously, we're not electing Trump.
00:09:53.100Well, obviously, there's no sort of Trump-like politician we're electing.
00:09:59.760They took all the more obvious statements about him mocking Carney's weakness, inserted that one,
00:10:04.400and then they pivot over to saying, oh, and he called Pierre Paulyev a non-entity.
00:10:08.920Non-entity? Of course he's not. Paulyev doesn't claim to be an entity in the negotiations.
00:10:15.120And of course, Jamil Giovanni said something nice about, sorry, of course, J.D. Vance said something nice about Jamil Giovanni.
00:10:20.520He's his friend. But even that really had nothing to do with the trade negotiations.
00:10:25.100He just said, you know, Jamil is at least an actual good advocate for his country, but that doesn't even mean Jamil was actually involved in the negotiations.
00:10:33.620He's just kind of complimenting Jamil Giovanni as a counter to smacking Mark Carney, saying Mark Carney's a weakling.
00:10:40.820He sucks at negotiating. He folded like a cheap suit. And Jamil Giovanni is actually good at doing stuff like this.
00:10:46.940That's effectively what was being said there.
00:10:48.980I can probably take that at face value since it was said behind the scenes and probably wasn't meant for publication.
00:10:55.800But now let's go into the CBC's coverage and see if they do a better job.
00:11:00.200J.D. Vance weighing in on these trade talks.
00:11:02.720And in a speech yesterday, the U.S. vice president said Mark Carney tried to out-tough President Trump.
00:11:08.020Darren McCraffery looking at what's been a very common refrain from this White House boasting that they've got to win.
00:11:14.560Already, even though it's still very biased to the liberal side coverage,
00:11:18.980at least the CBC is actually mentioning that J.D. Vance was mocking Mark Carney for trying to play
00:11:25.440tough. That is at least somehow better coverage than CTV News. CBC has actually always kind of
00:11:31.240been, most of the time, a little bit better than CTV News. Now, that doesn't mean either of them
00:11:37.320is good, but CTV News sometimes is more flamboyantly flax for the Liberal Party in terms of just
00:11:43.280completely ignoring bad news and focusing on Peter Palliev, because the CTV News thing made
00:11:48.340it seemed like the big story was pure poly of they put more time into talking about poly of
00:11:53.300and giovanni than they did vance talking about carney in fact they really didn't even mention
00:11:58.900carney they just mentioned jd talking about canada yeah definitely a lot of boasting this
00:12:04.660was at a private republican donors events not just jd vance but lots of senior republicans
00:12:10.500were there no it must be said jd vance said that mark connie was a very sweet guy before
00:12:15.860he frankly went on to ridicule the Prime Minister and certainly these talks. Let's have a look at
00:12:21.780some of the quotes from this private function. Mr Vance said that Carney comes in and puffs his
00:12:27.780chest out and says I'm going to like out tough Donald Trump. It's hilarious because Carney
00:12:33.860presents this as some victory for Canada when fundamentally like they climbed down on a lot of
00:12:39.940issues and then he goes on to say interestingly but the quiet sort of behind the scenes stories
00:12:46.020is that this like random mp who's had a good relationship with us has been a pretty effective
00:12:51.300advocate now that mp is jamil giovanni of course the conservative mp we know he's a very good friend
00:12:57.860of jd vance we're told by mr vance himself that he has inserted himself into these negotiations
00:13:04.260even then there's now pivoting they did a better job of actually highlighting jd mocking uh mark
00:13:11.620carney for pretending to be tough but even now they're going off the trail to talk about javani
00:13:16.880who isn't that big of a part of the story jd's just giving a shout out to his friend who again
00:13:22.160didn't actually have anything to do with the negotiations he's just complimenting his friend
00:13:25.880saying that you know javani probably it's kind of like a tacit way of saying he probably should
00:13:30.380have been in charge of the negotiations because he's far better at advocating for canada
00:13:33.960Then the guy puffing his chest out, who then climbed down on all the significant, you know, on many significant issues for Canada, which he's saying about Mark Carney.
00:13:43.380Sure, that is not going to go down particularly well with the prime minister's office or indeed with the conservative leadership.
00:13:50.700Now, we heard from Mr. Trump on Wednesday.
00:13:52.640He suggested, of course, that he had a good relationship, a very nice relationship with the leadership right now and also said that this was a good deal for everyone.
00:14:02.520But then Mr. Vance also kind of doubled down on that, if you like, in this speech.
00:14:08.160He said that Trump is not trying to bend over to make Canada happy,
00:14:14.980but saw that there was an opportunity here to get some wins for the country.
00:14:18.400And the whole point of this is to change Canada's behaviour,
00:14:22.140which they, you know, not entirely, but they've shifted in a Trumpian direction,
00:14:30.220Now, I think there's two things at play here.
00:14:31.960one of them is obviously this is jd vance talking to a private republican event so he is
00:14:37.500essentially boasting about this deal in a political way okay sort of i agree he's sort
00:14:44.280of boasting about it in a political way it's a donor event you want to make your donors happy
00:14:48.680make them reach into their wallets and give you money at the same time the thing is that it's a
00:14:54.820closed door meeting he isn't trying to be diplomatic with how he's talking about stuff
00:14:59.420He's highlighting victories. You don't highlight things that you would think are failures in front
00:15:04.860of a crowd. You would ignore them. You would highlight all the great stuff we're doing to
00:15:08.400make them give you money because you're talking to fairly sophisticated political actors.
00:15:13.240Big donors to parties are not going to let you get away with kind of messing with them and lying
00:15:19.620about how things are actually going on trade. These are the people who have been following
00:15:23.500things quite closely if you're boasting about the trade deal with canada in front of a donor event
00:15:30.060in new york it's because these people know it's a victory and you're trying to say hey you know
00:15:35.260that thing that you're probably already happy with us yeah that's fantastic and if you want
00:15:39.500more stuff like that you better open up your wallets and give us more money that's what's
00:15:43.420going on here so the cbc is trying to slightly spin it as if well you know maybe it's not actually
00:15:48.780that great of a deal but they're gonna boast about it because of course you're gonna boast about it
00:15:52.700my thing is where is mark carney boasting about anything where is wab canoe doug ford who i don't
00:15:59.940think anyone in the last 48 hours there's been more sightings of sasquatch than there have been
00:16:04.580of doug ford where's david eby where is all of the maritime premiers that i can't name
00:16:10.460like where are they it's almost like the deal sucks mark carney hasn't even been keeping his
00:16:16.860advisory council up to date with the deals with how the deal's going and it's not like the deal
00:16:21.900was finalized. He just doesn't want to tell them because he doesn't want it to leak. The deal is
00:16:25.240not finalized. You think your advisory council on the U.S. trade deal would be informed about what's
00:16:32.660going on so they could give you advice. They don't want advice because it's a hot piece of garbage,
00:16:39.380and they don't want the advisory council to say, why are you signing this? What the heck's wrong
00:16:43.760with you? And then leaking it to the press. They are staying tight-lipped about it because you
00:16:48.520might know that there are three by-elections going on right now. Now, the Liberals could win all
00:16:53.840three of them. The Liberals are probably going to at least win two. Chikudemi-Lefjord, that's the
00:16:58.520one where they could end up losing to the bloc. The problem is with Richard Martel leaving as the
00:17:02.860incumbent Conservative for, frankly, an arbitrary reason just to take a Senate's appointment. The
00:17:07.840Conservatives are probably not going to win because, naturally, your own voters are like, well, what's
00:17:11.160the point of voting for you again? That doesn't actually spell regional or even national or even
00:17:16.860really regional issues for the conservatives it's an issue that has to do with that one riding that
00:17:21.820i don't think is exactly going to be carrying forward but in the other ridings the liberals
00:17:26.620don't want to look like their votes collapsing because of this bad deal so they are not mentioning
00:17:31.980what is going on because advanced polls are open right now and you don't want people to know that
00:17:36.380you just got taken to the cleaners by the president that they are that they are supposed to hate more
00:17:42.140than like death itself i mean at the end of the day the americans are trying to convince the other
00:17:46.380americans that this is a good deal it is a good deal he's not trying to jd vance and this is what
00:17:52.540i find annoying he's not just boasting he's not just trying to convince people it's a good deal
00:17:56.860it is a good deal and that's why he's boasting to fairly politically savvy donors about it
00:18:02.300obviously this is jd vance talking to a private republican event so he is essentially boasting
00:18:08.140about this deal in a political way i mean at the end of the day the americans are trying to convince
00:18:12.460the other americans that this is a good deal so it's quite difficult to work out how much this
00:18:17.820is domestic posturing versus what the reality might actually be it's not domestic posturing if
00:18:23.900it's a behind closed doors meeting it is in fact them just boasting the boasting is the right word
00:18:30.140to use they're boasting because they believe it's good in front of donors who would be able to smell
00:18:35.020nonsense if they knew if they if there was nonsense involved they'd be able to say no that you're
00:18:40.700underlying in fact this helps a lot of american investments because not only are they reducing
00:18:46.220like the thing is that tariffs aren't great for the american economy either way but this might
00:18:51.200be better than no tariffs because they're going to keep tariffs on us while they're not going to
00:18:55.520have any terror we're not going to have any tariffs on them so effectively they're going to
00:18:59.440savage our auto sector it's going to relocate into the u.s a lot of it and then they're just
00:19:04.080going to sell us cars back oh and by the way what's carny say for this well we're also going
00:19:08.300let china dump evs into our economy as well so thank you mark carney but whatever the conclusion0.97
00:19:14.940is this in the last couple of hours the last you know kind of furlong as we move towards the end
00:19:20.860of these negotiations is definitely not helpful for mark carney the prime minister well no because
00:19:26.140carney is sort of i can at least give him that he was able to admit that i don't think this guy is
00:19:31.020lying i think oftentimes if you're a guest you're an expert you're a correspondent for the cbc you
00:19:36.700You are going to massage things a little bit that gets you invited back onto the CBC.
00:19:40.920In this bind where he's both trying to tell Canadians that this is the best deal that they could get,
00:19:46.620it's a good deal, while not saying that too loudly and making it sound that the Trump administration got a loss or something like that.
00:19:53.100The Jamil Giovanni stuff is interesting.
00:19:54.720It's not a good deal. That's why he's not talking about it.
00:19:57.260It's not because he's scared to brag about how great his deal is,
00:20:01.680and if Trump gets word of it, he's going to want to rip it up because, oh my goodness,
00:20:04.540the Canadians think the deal's too good. I'm going to get rid of this thing. They're saying
00:20:08.080that I actually lost. We're not saying that he lost because he didn't lose on this one.
00:20:13.300It's so bad for the Liberals that even Avi Lewis, who's usually comatose when it comes to the trade
00:20:21.400issue because he's too scared of contradicting Mark Carney and not seeming like he's on team
00:20:25.900elbows up, even Avi Lewis came out and attacked the deal. Avi Lewis, other than climate change
00:20:32.880and palestine basically talks about nothing and even he crawled out of his hole to talk about this
00:20:38.640one he said and this was a couple days ago for the benefit of all the workers affected in every
00:20:44.440industry from steel and aluminum to autos forestry and more a good deal with the u.s would be great
00:20:49.560news but while we await the details i'm urging the prime minister not to grant any concessions
00:20:54.320that would further undermine our economic independence we are dealing with a president
00:20:58.540whose trade trades in chaos and unpredictability there is no deal that will bring an end to the
00:21:03.820threats and uncertainty for this reason protecting canadian workers without granting further unilateral
00:21:09.100concessions is essential and the keystone xl pipeline is a concession that makes no sense
00:21:13.580whatsoever for our economy our sovereignty and our climate earlier this year the energy minister said
00:21:19.100repeatedly that he wants to help the u.s achieve energy dominance this should be obviously this
00:21:23.980This should obviously not be any part of a trade deal between our two countries.
00:21:28.300Canadians are not in the mood for more giveaways to the Trump administration,
00:21:31.980even if that means walking away from the table to protect Canadian workers and industries.
00:21:36.300So again, this is significant because Avi Lewis had not talked about trade at all since becoming leader.
00:21:43.260He had not critiqued Mark Carney at all.
00:21:45.340And even at the start there, you can tell he's slowly kind of descending into the warm jacuzzi,
00:21:51.060not wanting to enter it too fast, saying, you know, hoping for a good deal, you know,
00:21:55.160hoping Carney gets something good. But then he's kind of alluding to the fact that if he keeps
00:21:58.960trade tariffs in place, if this is hurting our independence in some way, then I am going to
00:22:04.760attack. And I think the NDP should, from their perspective. I'm a conservative, and I'm not
00:22:09.020just saying I want the NDP to attack because it's good for conservatives, for the left to be
00:22:12.460fighting. But if I was an NDP advisor, I would say we need to become, we need to start eating
00:22:17.980away at any working class voters the liberals took away from its last election and a great way of0.92
00:22:23.600doing that would be slapping them for accepting this deal while pretending their elbows up and
00:22:29.260you can tell that this is not good for the left or for the liberals because one of the people who
00:22:35.320immediately responded to what avi lewis had said was liberal mp mark gerritson he said let's be
00:22:42.580honest avi you're going to criticize the outcome no matter what it is so let's not pretend you're
00:22:47.760approaching this with an open mind that or that outrage isn't already the destination.
00:22:54.480Mark Gerritsen is the worst liberal. He is terrible at marketing the liberal party.
00:23:02.740He's telling on himself here. Let's just read that over again, because I'm here to defend
00:23:07.620Avi Lewis, oddly enough. He says, let's be honest, Avi, you're going to criticize the outcome no
00:23:13.440matter what it is. Okay, that's not a point against Avi Lewis. That is simply saying, well,
00:23:18.440you're going to criticize it anyways. How about you defend your deal, Mark Gerritsen, rather than
00:23:22.200saying you're going to criticize it anyways? Because people don't care about his criticism
00:23:26.120if it's a good deal. His criticism is only threatening to you if it actually lands home
00:23:31.780with many liberals who may consider voting for the NDP. Well, let's take the next line. He says,
00:23:37.740so let's not pretend you're approaching this with an open mind or that outrage isn't already
00:23:42.200the destination what so he says so let's not pretend you're approaching this with an open mind
00:23:49.380why should anyone have to have an open mind about what we're signing if mark carney promised a good
00:23:55.480deal shouldn't we not we should have we should be able to be closed-minded and still think it's a
00:24:00.420good deal if it is a good deal you only need to be open-minded if what you signed is not typically
00:24:05.940what somebody would consider a good deal. Like if I was saying, if I was a realtor for you and I was
00:24:12.820saying the house is $800,000 and when we enter, please keep an open mind, you know, keep an open
00:24:19.540mind about what we're getting for this amount of money. You'd be like, oh my goodness, what's in
00:24:24.440this house? Do I have to fuel it with coal or something like that? Is like the layout, the
00:24:29.440envelope of the house really weird? Is it only going to be like two bedrooms despite how much
00:24:34.580i'm paying that's what you would probably end up thinking open-minded is not what i want to feel
00:24:40.600about a new trade deal especially one that mark carney was pretending was going to like be a great
00:24:47.560for canadians he wasn't going to sign a limited deal he was going to sign a a broad big deal
00:24:53.280that was that was good for canadians and it wasn't just going to slightly lower tariffs he was going
00:24:57.800to basically try and fight to get them as low as possible that's not what we got and fighting to
00:25:02.740get them as low as possible does not, to me, indicate that he's not going to touch supply
00:25:08.060management and not touch his China deal. There's a lot of things he put off limits in terms of
00:25:13.000negotiations. And then there's things he just burned his concessions for nothing. So what?
00:25:17.840There's no way of getting through this without concluding that Mark Carney lost. That is why
00:25:23.260the Americans are mocking him, because he looks really bad in all of this. And they're not scared
00:25:28.920of him the the car the the americans aren't scared of saying that it's a great deal thinking
00:25:34.480that canada could walk away from the table if we realize that it's a good deal but i like how
00:25:39.600i like how um the media is trying to now spin what jd vance said earlier as the ant as an
00:25:47.520anti-poly of story this came out from national news watch national news watch it's an article
00:25:53.760I believe, which outlet is this? It actually is an article just on National News Watch. Maybe it's
00:25:59.480probably from Canadian Press where it gets posted in a lot of places. But it says here, J.D. Vance
00:26:04.980on Giovanni, a helpful advocate for Canada trade. Vance on Polyev. He is a non-entity in negotiations.
00:26:11.700Why is this a story? It's not a story. It's literally reporting on the absence of a story.
00:26:17.540Jamil gives his friend a compliment. He said Polyev is a non-entity because Polyev was a
00:26:24.360non-entity. Polyev isn't here the next day angry that Jamil doesn't think he was an entity in the
00:26:32.060negotiations. Does Polyev want to have been associated with these negotiations? No, no,
00:26:38.860it's a bad deal. He's happy today knowing that he's not associated with the deal whatsoever.
00:26:44.100But this is what people like Sharon Kor are saying. They're posting in quotes non-entity with an injured emoji as if, oh, look, that's really going to strike at the heart of Pierre Polyev. It doesn't. You don't want to be associated with this deal.
00:27:02.480And again, they're acting as if, like, Mark Karasrayad, Pierre Polyev, was jumping up and down to try and get some juice out of this thing, as if he was involved in a deal being signed.
00:27:14.540Like, no, Polyev today, and I'm going to cover this in another video, was rightfully attacking the deal that he marketed himself as elbows up, the guy who can negotiate with Trump, the guy who's going to get a great deal for Canadians, he's not going to leave tariffs in place.
00:27:27.360And now we're signing a deal that's going to put aluminum and steel tariffs from 50% to 25%, which they'll say, hey, we halved them.
00:27:35.880When Mark Carney was originally signing up to fight the tariffs, he was fighting back against 25% tariffs on aluminum and steel that were deemed way too high.
00:27:45.580And now we're calling it a victory to get back to the point that we had already said was too high.
00:27:52.380Here's a comment from Dimitri Soudis, who used to be a conservative advisor to Stephen Harper, I believe, back in the day.
00:27:59.760And now he's just a full-time Pierre Polyev hater.
00:28:02.980And he said, who would have told J.D. Vance that the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and PM in waiting is a non-entity in negotiations?
00:28:11.640Why would he refer to him this guy, Pierre Polyev, or something?
00:28:18.680Whoever briefed Vance had bad intentions, and it's deplorable,
00:28:22.280but he had very nice things to say about Mr. Giovanni.
00:28:26.500And again, pretending as if somehow this was like a big gotcha on Polyev?
00:28:31.700Again, who would have told J.D. Vance that the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada
00:28:35.420and PM when waiting is a non-entity in negotiations?
00:28:38.720Is he implying that Jamil Giovanni told J.D. to say that?
00:30:11.900It's what the media are using to distract from Mark Carney.
00:30:14.740The CTV News barely mentioned J.D. Vance's entire comments on Canada and Kearney, but then quickly moved on to talk about Pauly and Giovanni as if it mattered whatsoever.
00:30:26.760anyways so with all that being said thank you guys for watching this video again i would say
00:30:34.040in situations like this always kind of focus on the mood and attitude of the players involved
00:30:39.120no matter what the canadian government says no matter what the canadian media says look at the
00:30:44.580faces of people like wab canoe like dominic leblanc they're not happy if they knew that this
00:30:50.500was good for them maybe they'll play a little coy but they're not going to look like mark like
