00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:03.040 So our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has been out there making choices.
00:00:08.880 Are they good ones?
00:00:10.940 Well, you decide.
00:00:12.980 So yesterday, instead of actually, you know, trying to deal with some of the fundamental issues that Canada as a country is facing,
00:00:21.440 Mark Carney and his liberal government decided to officially recognize the state of Palestine.
00:00:27.720 I don't know what we're going to do next, maybe recognize the state of Narnia, but Palestine is not a real country. 0.98
00:00:35.960 And I don't just mean this in a derogatory way to dunk on Palestine.
00:00:40.980 It quite literally doesn't have an actual capital.
00:00:44.120 It is split between Gaza and the West Bank, both of which are run by terrorist organizations,
00:00:50.020 and there's no real institutions on the ground for normal people.
00:00:53.760 They are states purely run for the pleasure of the terrorist groups that sit on top, and that is it.
00:01:01.480 It is a failed state if it is a state.
00:01:04.820 And for some reason we did this, despite the fact that when previously Mark Carney had made statements about moving towards this,
00:01:12.620 he had said we will recognize them if, and then the bullet points are like a bunch of stuff that's never going to happen,
00:01:18.620 like having an election in the West Bank and having Hamas not be in charge of Gaza.
00:01:23.860 It was something where he was like virtue signaling.
00:01:26.420 At the same time, he was obviously trying to make sure the bar was very high so he would never actually have to officially do it.
00:01:32.860 And then he just officially did it anyways.
00:01:36.140 We have even like progressive politicians out there saying that this was, you know, quite the thing to do and not in a good way.
00:01:44.280 I'm going to cut later on to a clip of former federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair,
00:01:49.700 who maybe isn't even necessarily like anti-Palestine in any way.
00:01:54.340 I'm not sure if he's pro-Israel or pro-Palestine.
00:01:56.560 I have no clue.
00:01:57.800 But even he was like pretty confused by why this was even done.
00:02:03.600 So we post, he posted this, and it says,
00:02:07.020 Today Canada recognizes the state of Palestine.
00:02:10.140 And it just says underneath again, Canada recognizes the state of Palestine.
00:02:13.460 Quote, Canada recognizes the state of Palestine and offers our partnership in building the promise of a peaceful future for both the state of Palestine and the state of Israel.
00:02:24.060 But let's read a little bit more, and we will go into the full statement because it's so, this is very morally irresponsible.
00:02:35.060 But Mark Carney really wants to please the same progressive, insane activists who have been screaming at his ministers outside their homes.
00:02:46.540 They've been protesting outside of Melanie Jolie's home, Anita Anand's home.
00:02:50.880 And frankly, these people are probably not even going to vote liberal even after doing this.
00:02:56.100 These people are the hardest activists to please on the planet because they will always shift the goalposts even further because really they just hate Israel and some of them even just hate Jews.
00:03:06.800 So naturally, even just recognizing Palestine will not be good enough.
00:03:11.060 And again, you can't really recognize Palestine because it's not a coherent state in any way.
00:03:16.020 This is like recognizing, I don't even know, it's like trying to recognize the Houthi-controlled part of Yemen.
00:03:24.520 I guess it technically exists, but doesn't really exist in the sense that it's a country that interacts with the rest of the world.
00:03:32.580 No, not really. 0.96
00:03:33.760 It's a giant prison full of terrorists.
00:03:37.200 Anyways, so this is what was posted to the prime minister's website.
00:03:42.400 And it says, quote, since 1947, it's been the policy of every Canadian government to support a two-state solution for lasting peace in the Middle East.
00:03:52.780 This envisioned the creation of a sovereign, democratic, and viable state of Palestine, building its future in peace and security alongside the state of Israel.
00:04:00.520 Well, yeah, that's true.
00:04:01.840 It's fine to be in favor of a two-state solution, obviously. 0.64
00:04:04.560 But you need an actual state of Palestine in order to actually create a two-state solution.
00:04:10.580 You can't just wave a magic wand over the situation and say, oh, there is now a Palestinian state.
00:04:15.420 There is not.
00:04:16.500 And even in Gaza and even in the West Bank, there are parts of those places where the terrorist governments don't even really control the entire territory.
00:04:25.760 We have Islamic Jihad that also controls parts of the Gaza Strip and also parts of the West Bank or Hamas affiliates in the West Bank that fight Fatah on the Palestinian Authority for control.
00:04:38.680 It is a complete mess.
00:04:40.260 There are no elections. 0.96
00:04:41.720 There is – they literally pay people to kill Jews in Israel, and you get a pension for your family if you die in doing the deed, you know, to put murder in a very light way there.
00:04:53.880 But it says – goes on and says, over many decades, Canada's commitment to this goal was premised on the expectation that this outcome would eventually – would be eventually achieved as part of a negotiated settlement.
00:05:07.620 Regrettably, this possibility has been steadily and gravely eroded, including by – and the first bullet point is – the pervasive threat of Hamas terrorists to Israel and its people, culminating in the heinous terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.
00:05:23.040 And Hamas' longstanding and violent rejection of Israel's right to exist and the two-state solution.
00:05:29.480 And then they go on to basically say that settlers and settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem are holding back the peace process and all the settlement plan stuff and the Israeli government.
00:05:40.880 And it's so telling about the attitude of our current liberal government towards our allies because Israel is an ally just as the United States is an ally and our government slags the United States constantly.
00:05:55.700 But that we are in the bullet points of why is there no peace?
00:06:00.500 We have one bullet point for the genocidal terrorist group and we have three bullet points for the Israelis doing very mild things like settlers who end up taking unoccupied areas of the West Bank and setting up a new settlement there. 0.94
00:06:15.960 Are they technically supposed to be there?
00:06:18.120 It's actually kind of hard to even explain whether or not that's legal or illegal because, again, you can't take away territory from something that doesn't exist.
00:06:28.120 It's not like that's the state of Palestine's land.
00:06:30.680 The state of Palestine isn't a thing.
00:06:32.300 But, again, we have three points against Israel and we have one point against the actual genocidal terrorist organization, Hamas. 0.67
00:06:41.160 We don't have any points about Islamic Jihad.
00:06:43.400 We don't have any points about Fatah and the Palestinian Authority's pay-for-slay programs.
00:06:48.060 We have nothing like that.
00:06:50.100 But the thing is, again, this document has nothing to do with the situation.
00:06:54.100 This document has to do with domestic Canadian politics and trying to please progressive crazy people.
00:07:00.400 But now let's jump over to something else.
00:07:04.620 I want to talk a little bit about some of the reactions that we've seen to this online, including on the news with Tom Mulcair.
00:07:15.600 I want to start off with that and then I want to look at some of the other online reactions.
00:07:19.420 And then I want to cut to Mark Carney's housing proposal that he made the other day.
00:07:23.900 I just found the video kind of funny in the context of just how bad things have been.
00:07:27.780 But here is Thomas Mulcair on CTV News reacting to the news.
00:07:32.960 A lot of roadblocks in here and I'm not sure that they've been thinking this one through completely.
00:07:38.340 You know, Tom, since you spoke about the statement and how the prime minister has spoken about Israel, too, very, very critical.
00:07:44.040 And I want to read a part of that statement for our viewers.
00:07:46.600 The statement goes on to say that its sustained assault, which is Israel's sustained assault in Gaza,
00:07:51.800 has killed tens of thousands of civilians, displaced well over one million people and caused a devastating and preventable famine in violation of international law.
00:08:03.080 It is now the avowed policy.
00:08:05.660 And that's just a lie.
00:08:07.480 There's famine in Gaza, not because Israel doesn't provide food.
00:08:11.440 Technically, it shouldn't even be their responsibility to provide food.
00:08:15.160 But they send in millions of meals into Gaza every single week.
00:08:19.740 And they've actually had to start taking over the distribution of food in Gaza from the United Nations because the United Nations in Gaza is effectively part of Hamas.
00:08:31.100 They help sustain Hamas. 0.99
00:08:32.740 The UNRWA workers in Gaza literally participated both in the October 7th attack as well as participated in helping hide hostages, helping hide Hamas militants.
00:08:47.040 Obviously, there's going to be casualties in urban warfare.
00:08:51.100 But even in Israel, the ratio has been like almost or in Gaza, the ratio has been like one to one, which is unheard of.
00:08:57.780 Do you think that was the ratio when fighting was going on inside of Berlin or other major cities during World War II?
00:09:06.200 Obviously not.
00:09:07.280 Usually, way more civilians are dying than soldiers.
00:09:10.300 But Israel has been pretty meticulous at trying to only take strikes when they think they can isolate the militants alone.
00:09:16.900 But obviously, that doesn't always work out, especially when the militants hide behind civilians.
00:09:21.960 So what Mark Carney is doing here is smearing them.
00:09:25.300 He's just smearing an ally.
00:09:26.880 He has all the data available to them.
00:09:29.140 It's all objectively based.
00:09:30.880 They can, every time Israel gets accused of just murdering a bunch of people, later on it comes out, oh yeah, never mind. 0.53
00:09:37.360 That was technical to Hamas that did that.
00:09:39.140 And the CBC will print this stuff.
00:09:41.560 And then on the old adage that the misinformation is on page one, and then the retraction is a week later on page 20.
00:09:52.340 That's what it always happens in the media.
00:09:54.900 But Mark Carney seems to only base his opinions off of media releases from some of the most left-wing papers he can find.
00:10:02.460 The current Israeli government, that there will be no Palestinian state.
00:10:07.660 Tom, your view on such a critical statement, what does it do to relationships between Israel and Canada moving forward?
00:10:15.720 It's going to be difficult.
00:10:17.160 And these are things that stay on the record for a long time.
00:10:20.800 Canada has always been seen as fair-minded, as being able to look at very complex situations like this one and be positive, constructive, come up with solutions.
00:10:29.980 This is strong, but it's also a bit facile.
00:10:33.860 It's easier said than done.
00:10:35.560 Concretely, how does this play out in the current situation?
00:10:39.120 So there's a line in there where the Canadian government is affirming that Hamas will play no role in a future Palestinian government.
00:10:46.280 Really?
00:10:46.940 We get to decide that?
00:10:48.420 And the war that's going on right now, and especially the part about the famine, is unforgivable for what's happening to civilians.
00:10:56.260 We can all agree on that.
00:10:57.540 But at the same time, Hamas has the avowed intention of destroying the state of Israel.
00:11:01.420 And also, they're the ones literally executing Palestinians on live television who were caught trying to get food.
00:11:09.740 Literally, they are trying to eat food so they can survive.
00:11:13.160 And that is considered a crime in Gaza because the food is the terrorist organization's food. 0.89
00:11:17.840 And I know Tom Mulcair is more of a progressive himself, so he won't mention that sort of stuff.
00:11:22.260 But even he, right there, he made the statement, well, it's strong, but it's also facile.
00:11:27.160 Well, of course it's facile.
00:11:28.380 This is a document to try and win progressive voters in Canada.
00:11:33.080 And again, it probably won't even work.
00:11:35.720 These people are the types who were protesting the liberals shortly after they made the initial claim that they were going to recognize the state of Palestine.
00:11:44.260 Because these people, nothing will ever be good enough for them because they're zealots.
00:11:49.380 But now let's jump over to something that Mark Carney did in the aftermath of this, which was quite incredible.
00:11:55.520 This happened five hours ago that this was posted, that Mark Carney is out there in Israel.
00:12:02.560 Not Israel, but sorry, but in the Jewish community in Toronto, celebrating Rosh Hashanah.
00:12:11.140 Yeah, this is a really good look.
00:12:13.000 Right after you write, oh my goodness, the tight smiles in this video are, oh my, Anthony Housefather right there.
00:12:18.780 Anthony Housefather right there on the right side of the screen.
00:12:21.260 What an embarrassing MP.
00:12:24.060 He is the liberal MP for the riding of Mount Royal.
00:12:28.340 A, I believe, pretty much mostly Jewish riding in Montreal. 0.99
00:12:34.200 How much more pathetic could you get that you're still willing to meet with your boss the day after he basically kicked your community in the face? 1.00
00:12:43.960 You know, just did the dumbest thing ever. 1.00
00:12:47.220 And you're still just going to act like nothing's strange while he pretends like he gives a crap about Rosh Hashanah. 0.99
00:12:53.500 And I say that in the context, I don't think most politicians really care about random religious holidays unless they themselves celebrate them.
00:12:59.580 In fact, actually, I think that in time, it'd be good if politicians just basically only celebrate the ones they care about.
00:13:05.500 And then the national holidays, and that's kind of it.
00:13:08.720 But anyways, so because my thing is I just don't like politicians faking stuff.
00:13:12.960 But I liked some of this commentary from people online in the aftermath of it.
00:13:18.800 This guy, John Thompson here, said what they posted versus what I see.
00:13:27.860 And it says, Canada recognizes the state of Palestine.
00:13:30.240 It's the same one in both sides.
00:13:33.000 But I like over on this one how he just edits in some Hamas militants into the background while Carney is signing the document.
00:13:40.580 Yeah, no, good thing that we're backing these guys up. 0.98
00:13:42.900 Even the leader of Hamas himself, I forget what the man's name is, a scumbag came out to actually say, 0.98
00:13:51.200 Well, see, this is what October 7th has brought us, saying that this is a direct result of us going into Israel and killing thousands of Jews. 0.99
00:14:00.660 That now we have gotten the world's attention and gotten the world's respect.
00:14:04.900 It's like, yeah, okay, my goodness.
00:14:06.340 And I know that France and the UK did it too.
00:14:09.420 They are also getting to be morally bankrupt countries like Canada under the liberal government. 1.00
00:14:15.020 So I don't see that we have any solace in being not the only one doing something stupid like this. 0.98
00:14:21.200 I think we shouldn't have done this at all. 0.97
00:14:23.580 And now we are going to have worse relations, not just with Israel, but we are going to have worse relations with the United States.
00:14:31.300 And we still don't have a trade deal with them.
00:14:33.440 So this looks really, really good.
00:14:35.780 You'll even remember Donald Trump on his Truth Social account back in July when we had first made the general announcement that we were going to do something like this.
00:14:45.280 He was like, oh, wow, oh, boy, look what Canada's doing.
00:14:48.560 It's going to make it hard to sign a trade deal with them. 1.00
00:14:51.200 It's like, oh, goodness, we're so flipping stupid. 1.00
00:14:54.120 Like, we could have just avoided all of this. 0.99
00:14:57.520 But let's end on something more, not positive, but less foreign policy based.
00:15:03.420 Here is here is Mark Carney's new video trying to seem like a very serious guy when it comes to the issue of housing in Canada.
00:15:11.880 This off of the heels of him setting up a fake work site to speak in front of because there wasn't actually many places where new housing was being built.
00:15:20.280 So they faked building a new house so he could announce his new housing strategy.
00:15:24.580 But here's the video he made from his office.
00:15:26.960 Build Canada Homes is now up and running, and it's focused on one thing, building affordable homes at a scale and speed that we haven't seen for generations.
00:15:36.360 Build Canada Homes is working with builders and government to build smarter using Canadian technology, Canadian workers and Canadian lumber to produce good quality, affordable and sustainable homes.
00:15:48.020 Also, what's the music in the background here?
00:15:52.360 It sounds like he's like a villain, like the reet, reet, reet, reet on the violins in the background.
00:15:57.880 This is normally like the scene where like the villain's laying out his plan and like the music starts up.
00:16:04.360 It starts like, reet, reet, reet, reet, and the person's like talking about all the people we need to eliminate.
00:16:12.000 But like all this is just made to use Tom Mulcair's word, facile.
00:16:17.460 We're going to build homes with Canadian technology.
00:16:19.940 Well, I believe the Buy Canadian Act or it's like the piece of legislation or the plan around trying to get people to like use more Canadian products, it doesn't really even really come into effect until like next year.
00:16:33.040 I think it will initially start having some impact in November.
00:16:37.800 But even then, the build, I think it was like the, I forget what it was.
00:16:42.480 All these, all these acts ends up being really generically named.
00:16:45.680 But the, his whole plan is actually going to clash with this housing plan.
00:16:49.600 And the plan of getting people to use Canadian technology and materials is going to end up causing builders to build more slowly.
00:16:56.660 And every time you create a new agency, a new bureaucracy, it's going to slow things down.
00:17:02.540 Because instead of someone just rubber stamping it, saying, here's your permit.
00:17:05.680 Okay, yeah, generally everything looks good.
00:17:07.440 Go for it.
00:17:07.960 We'll send an inspector at some point to make sure everything's being done correctly.
00:17:11.260 We have, okay, I'll take this piece of paper and I'll hand it off to somebody else.
00:17:15.020 And we're going to review it in the next 30 days.
00:17:16.840 And then we're going to come back to you and let you know any revisions you have to make.
00:17:20.200 And then we'll come back and blah, blah, blah.
00:17:21.660 And after six years, we'll fast track you.
00:17:24.020 It's like, what?
00:17:25.120 How about we just basically start mass approving new housing permits?
00:17:29.280 How about we just start doing that?
00:17:30.620 And again, you don't even have to destroy zoning in order to do it.
00:17:34.340 The main problem with blanket rezoning in places like my city of Calgary.
00:17:38.240 By the way, guys, if you live in Calgary, please vote for Sonia Sharp. 0.92
00:17:42.420 I kept getting attacked because like, why?
00:17:43.860 It's a paid Sonia Sharp shell. 0.70
00:17:46.220 I, no, no, no.
00:17:47.300 I am a paying Sonia Sharp shell.
00:17:50.020 I donated $1,000 to her and I've not been paid a cent.
00:17:54.000 So, hey, link in the description below.
00:17:56.120 If you guys live in Calgary, please get a Sonia Sharp sign.
00:17:58.480 But the problem with blanket rezoning in Calgary is that the intention is, oh, we're going to be able to build more stuff.
00:18:05.820 It's going to make it so that we get more units on the market.
00:18:09.160 Like, I guess so.
00:18:11.360 But the real fix is gutting the permitting office and speeding up the process.
00:18:16.220 Because right now, the amount of time it takes to actually get approved for a building permit in the city of Calgary and many other cities across Canada is too long.
00:18:25.480 The solution isn't saying just build bigger buildings.
00:18:29.420 Yeah, it does still take 300 days or so in order to actually get approved.
00:18:33.960 But you see, now what we will do is we'll let you build a 12-plex instead of two single-family houses.
00:18:41.040 We could have just made the single-family detached houses in like, you know, we could have approved you in like two weeks, maybe 30 days.
00:18:48.040 You know, it's a plot of land.
00:18:49.480 It's in an area that's already been zoned for the same type of housing.
00:18:52.040 We'll look and make sure that the pit, you're not going to, you know, blow out any gas lines or water pipes from the city.
00:18:58.520 We'll, you know, look at it.
00:18:59.540 If you could approve them faster, developers wouldn't, like, that was basically it.
00:19:04.180 Blanket rezoning is a bribe to developers.
00:19:07.120 It's not that the developers are doing something wrong.
00:19:09.920 The developers aren't bribing the government to go let them do something.
00:19:12.840 The government's saying, okay, we're still going to make it very difficult to get a permit.
00:19:17.600 But if you do get that permit, we'll let you build something bigger.
00:19:21.420 I think most developers don't actually mind zoning laws.
00:19:24.980 They just want to get to building.
00:19:26.460 If you just say, yeah, you generally have to follow the zoning within your area, they're like, sure, that's fine with us.
00:19:32.720 But can we actually start building?
00:19:34.300 That's the problem.
00:19:35.380 You never actually get to the point where you can start building in many of these cities until like a year later.
00:19:40.900 And even then, you have to stop your building multiple times in order to just have another inspection occur.
00:19:46.220 And so you're paying employees to stand around while an inspection occurs because an employee's not just going to say, oh, yeah, no worry, boss, man.
00:19:53.280 I'm just going to go not get paid for two weeks and sit at home.
00:19:56.480 You still have to pay them, and they're still going to have to generally be on site and do the little bit of work that they still can do.
00:20:01.660 But that's the problem is that we don't incentivize people to actually do the thing that their industry is based around.
00:20:08.060 We don't let the home building industry build homes.
00:20:10.560 We make them build specific things that we want in the time that we want as bureaucrats.
00:20:16.820 It works for their schedule.
00:20:18.460 But anyways, so that should be it for this video, guys.
00:20:22.680 Hopefully you didn't mind this very all over the place video.
00:20:26.500 I know a lot of people don't like when I talk about foreign policy, especially around Israel, because you will get people in the comments being like, no, no, no.
00:20:32.780 Israel is committing a genocide. 0.86
00:20:34.080 Oh, my goodness.
00:20:35.540 It's the only genocide on the planet where the population of the place being genocided apparently has been going up because it's not.
00:20:41.780 It's a war that Hamas started. 0.85
00:20:43.920 I don't know how to explain any different.
00:20:45.740 Like I saw this.
00:20:46.740 Oh, my goodness.
00:20:47.360 I'll pull this up on screen.
00:20:48.580 It just bothered me so much.
00:20:49.620 Now I have to show you guys.
00:20:50.960 End of video rant for those who stick around for these things. 1.00
00:20:54.020 I saw this the other day and it was so stupid. 0.99
00:20:56.320 I had to respond to it. 1.00
00:20:58.060 This is from Pamphlets magazine.
00:21:00.460 It is an extremely socialistic outlet and it says right here, if this is terrorism showing 9-11, what the F is this?
00:21:12.300 And it's parts of Gaza City that have been demolished.
00:21:16.020 And it's like, okay, well, what do you think Berlin?
00:21:19.560 Let's look up what Berlin looked like at the end of World War II.
00:21:23.380 Because I can tell you that it didn't look very good at the time because turns out when a war occurs, it's going to look pretty nasty.
00:21:36.120 And these are much better constructed buildings overall.
00:21:39.320 So, like, yeah, this is what the city looks like after World War II.
00:21:44.220 And this is actually a little bit after it's been cleaned up.
00:21:46.640 There are other parts of the city that got completely demolished.
00:21:50.300 And these are much, again, much tougher built buildings than in Gaza. 0.81
00:21:54.160 That's also why things are not standing in Gaza.
00:21:56.800 It's because it's being run by a terrorist group.
00:21:59.140 So what kind of good contractor is going to be working out in there?
00:22:03.600 You know, they're all going to leave to Egypt. 0.92
00:22:05.200 They're all going to go to Israel and build up stuff where there is an Arab population who lives completely fine. 1.00
00:22:10.880 I've been to Israel.
00:22:12.020 I've talked to Palestinian people who live within the borders of Israel in Arabic towns.
00:22:17.700 And they like it way better because they even requested a wall be built between them and the West Bank because they said everyone out in the West Bank are thieves and keep taking their stuff from them.
00:22:29.680 But anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys.
00:22:33.280 Finally, you know, you're now rid of me for a bit.
00:22:35.840 But hopefully you'll come back and watch another video from me.
00:22:39.700 Make sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment on what you think.
00:22:44.100 And I will see you guys in another video, whether today or tomorrow.
00:22:47.940 I don't know.
00:22:48.440 I'm kind of lazy with the schedule, although I do make everything something every day.
00:22:51.540 So I'm not lazy.
00:22:52.600 Well, I still am.
00:22:53.660 But anyways, see you guys later.
