Today, Canada officially recognizes the State of Palestine. What does this mean for the future of peace in the Middle East? Is this a good or bad thing? Is it a step towards peace between Israel and the Palestinians? And is this even a thing?
00:01:57.800But even he was like pretty confused by why this was even done.
00:02:03.600So we post, he posted this, and it says,
00:02:07.020Today Canada recognizes the state of Palestine.
00:02:10.140And it just says underneath again, Canada recognizes the state of Palestine.
00:02:13.460Quote, 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.
00:02:24.060But let's read a little bit more, and we will go into the full statement because it's so, this is very morally irresponsible.
00:02:35.060But Mark Carney really wants to please the same progressive, insane activists who have been screaming at his ministers outside their homes.
00:02:46.540They've been protesting outside of Melanie Jolie's home, Anita Anand's home.
00:02:50.880And frankly, these people are probably not even going to vote liberal even after doing this.
00:02:56.100These 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.
00:03:06.800So naturally, even just recognizing Palestine will not be good enough.
00:03:11.060And again, you can't really recognize Palestine because it's not a coherent state in any way.
00:03:16.020This is like recognizing, I don't even know, it's like trying to recognize the Houthi-controlled part of Yemen.
00:03:24.520I 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.
00:03:33.760It's a giant prison full of terrorists.
00:03:37.200Anyways, so this is what was posted to the prime minister's website.
00:03:42.400And 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.
00:03:52.780This envisioned the creation of a sovereign, democratic, and viable state of Palestine, building its future in peace and security alongside the state of Israel.
00:04:16.500And 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.
00:04:25.760We 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.
00:04:41.720There 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.
00:04:53.880But 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.
00:05:07.620Regrettably, 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.
00:05:23.040And Hamas' longstanding and violent rejection of Israel's right to exist and the two-state solution.
00:05:29.480And 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.
00:05:40.880And 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.
00:05:55.700But that we are in the bullet points of why is there no peace?
00:06:00.500We 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.
00:06:15.960Are they technically supposed to be there?
00:06:18.120It'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.
00:06:28.120It's not like that's the state of Palestine's land.
00:06:50.100But the thing is, again, this document has nothing to do with the situation.
00:06:54.100This document has to do with domestic Canadian politics and trying to please progressive crazy people.
00:07:00.400But now let's jump over to something else.
00:07:04.620I 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.
00:07:15.600I want to start off with that and then I want to look at some of the other online reactions.
00:07:19.420And then I want to cut to Mark Carney's housing proposal that he made the other day.
00:07:23.900I just found the video kind of funny in the context of just how bad things have been.
00:07:27.780But here is Thomas Mulcair on CTV News reacting to the news.
00:07:32.960A lot of roadblocks in here and I'm not sure that they've been thinking this one through completely.
00:07:38.340You know, Tom, since you spoke about the statement and how the prime minister has spoken about Israel, too, very, very critical.
00:07:44.040And I want to read a part of that statement for our viewers.
00:07:46.600The statement goes on to say that its sustained assault, which is Israel's sustained assault in Gaza,
00:07:51.800has killed tens of thousands of civilians, displaced well over one million people and caused a devastating and preventable famine in violation of international law.
00:08:07.480There's famine in Gaza, not because Israel doesn't provide food.
00:08:11.440Technically, it shouldn't even be their responsibility to provide food.
00:08:15.160But they send in millions of meals into Gaza every single week.
00:08:19.740And 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.
00:08:32.740The UNRWA workers in Gaza literally participated both in the October 7th attack as well as participated in helping hide hostages, helping hide Hamas militants.
00:08:47.040Obviously, there's going to be casualties in urban warfare.
00:08:51.100But even in Israel, the ratio has been like almost or in Gaza, the ratio has been like one to one, which is unheard of.
00:08:57.780Do you think that was the ratio when fighting was going on inside of Berlin or other major cities during World War II?
00:10:17.160And these are things that stay on the record for a long time.
00:10:20.800Canada 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.
00:10:29.980This is strong, but it's also a bit facile.
00:11:28.380This is a document to try and win progressive voters in Canada.
00:11:33.080And again, it probably won't even work.
00:11:35.720These 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.
00:11:44.260Because these people, nothing will ever be good enough for them because they're zealots.
00:11:49.380But now let's jump over to something that Mark Carney did in the aftermath of this, which was quite incredible.
00:11:55.520This happened five hours ago that this was posted, that Mark Carney is out there in Israel.
00:12:02.560Not Israel, but sorry, but in the Jewish community in Toronto, celebrating Rosh Hashanah.
00:12:24.060He is the liberal MP for the riding of Mount Royal.
00:12:28.340A, I believe, pretty much mostly Jewish riding in Montreal.
00:12:34.200How 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?
00:12:43.960You know, just did the dumbest thing ever.
00:12:47.220And you're still just going to act like nothing's strange while he pretends like he gives a crap about Rosh Hashanah.
00:12:53.500And I say that in the context, I don't think most politicians really care about random religious holidays unless they themselves celebrate them.
00:12:59.580In fact, actually, I think that in time, it'd be good if politicians just basically only celebrate the ones they care about.
00:13:05.500And then the national holidays, and that's kind of it.
00:13:08.720But anyways, so because my thing is I just don't like politicians faking stuff.
00:13:12.960But I liked some of this commentary from people online in the aftermath of it.
00:13:18.800This guy, John Thompson here, said what they posted versus what I see.
00:13:27.860And it says, Canada recognizes the state of Palestine.
00:13:33.000But I like over on this one how he just edits in some Hamas militants into the background while Carney is signing the document.
00:13:40.580Yeah, no, good thing that we're backing these guys up.
00:13:42.900Even the leader of Hamas himself, I forget what the man's name is, a scumbag came out to actually say,
00:13:51.200Well, 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.
00:14:00.660That now we have gotten the world's attention and gotten the world's respect.
00:14:35.780You'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.
00:14:45.280He was like, oh, wow, oh, boy, look what Canada's doing.
00:14:48.560It's going to make it hard to sign a trade deal with them.
00:14:51.200It's like, oh, goodness, we're so flipping stupid.
00:14:54.120Like, we could have just avoided all of this.
00:14:57.520But let's end on something more, not positive, but less foreign policy based.
00:15:03.420Here 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.
00:15:11.880This 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.
00:15:20.280So they faked building a new house so he could announce his new housing strategy.
00:15:24.580But here's the video he made from his office.
00:15:26.960Build 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.
00:15:36.360Build 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.
00:15:48.020Also, what's the music in the background here?
00:15:52.360It sounds like he's like a villain, like the reet, reet, reet, reet on the violins in the background.
00:15:57.880This is normally like the scene where like the villain's laying out his plan and like the music starts up.
00:16:04.360It starts like, reet, reet, reet, reet, and the person's like talking about all the people we need to eliminate.
00:16:12.000But like all this is just made to use Tom Mulcair's word, facile.
00:16:17.460We're going to build homes with Canadian technology.
00:16:19.940Well, 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.
00:16:33.040I think it will initially start having some impact in November.
00:16:37.800But even then, the build, I think it was like the, I forget what it was.
00:16:42.480All these, all these acts ends up being really generically named.
00:16:45.680But the, his whole plan is actually going to clash with this housing plan.
00:16:49.600And the plan of getting people to use Canadian technology and materials is going to end up causing builders to build more slowly.
00:16:56.660And every time you create a new agency, a new bureaucracy, it's going to slow things down.
00:17:02.540Because instead of someone just rubber stamping it, saying, here's your permit.
00:17:05.680Okay, yeah, generally everything looks good.
00:18:11.360But the real fix is gutting the permitting office and speeding up the process.
00:18:16.220Because 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.
00:18:25.480The solution isn't saying just build bigger buildings.
00:18:29.420Yeah, it does still take 300 days or so in order to actually get approved.
00:18:33.960But you see, now what we will do is we'll let you build a 12-plex instead of two single-family houses.
00:18:41.040We 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.
00:19:35.380You never actually get to the point where you can start building in many of these cities until like a year later.
00:19:40.900And even then, you have to stop your building multiple times in order to just have another inspection occur.
00:19:46.220And 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.
00:19:53.280I'm just going to go not get paid for two weeks and sit at home.
00:19:56.480You 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.
00:20:01.660But that's the problem is that we don't incentivize people to actually do the thing that their industry is based around.
00:20:08.060We don't let the home building industry build homes.
00:20:10.560We make them build specific things that we want in the time that we want as bureaucrats.
00:20:18.460But anyways, so that should be it for this video, guys.
00:20:22.680Hopefully you didn't mind this very all over the place video.
00:20:26.500I 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.
00:22:12.020I've talked to Palestinian people who live within the borders of Israel in Arabic towns.
00:22:17.700And 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.
00:22:29.680But anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys.
00:22:33.280Finally, you know, you're now rid of me for a bit.
00:22:35.840But hopefully you'll come back and watch another video from me.
00:22:39.700Make sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment on what you think.
00:22:44.100And I will see you guys in another video, whether today or tomorrow.
