00:02:16.740have a good relationship with mark carney but you know we got to stop the fires up there if we can
00:02:22.920help them we'll help them but maybe they should pay us some damages or something or we should do
00:02:28.460some tariffs but it was terrible i mean you had businesses closing in particular michigan if you
00:02:35.220look at detroit the detroit michigan area they had to close everything they had to close car plants
00:02:40.580and a lot of other things. So I've never remembered this happening. Over the last
00:02:45.160four or five years, you saw it starting to take place. I've never remembered it happening.
00:02:50.280From that clip of Trump, I do not get the impression that Mark Carney smoothed anything
00:02:56.260over. In fact, it sounds like Trump basically downloaded on him and Carney basically just kind
00:03:02.760of, you know, softly agreed or tried to change the subject, did not move Trump away at all from
00:03:09.260the idea that maybe he'll tariff Canada for all the smoke coming over the border. It's dumb that0.96
00:03:14.520he wants to do that. I'm not defending that. I always at least critique our side for seemingly0.99
00:03:19.980being completely limp in the face of American tariffs. Not that I want the liberals to go
00:03:26.120elbows up mode. That's another stupid tactic. Carney keeps oscillating between the dumbest1.00
00:03:33.000possible strategies when it comes to Canada-U.S. relations. Elbows up where we're going to yell at0.99
00:03:38.840them for telling a joke. And then we go over to pure conceding, pure capitulation, where we give
00:03:45.140Trump 50-50 net revenues on the Gordie Howe Bridge in exchange for it opening, not even on time,
00:03:51.720it opened late, but we're going to potentially open the thing on time in exchange for 50-50 net
00:03:59.580revenues, even though we paid for 100% of the construction of the bridge to the tune of $6.4
00:04:06.120billion dollars. Where is the concessions from the other side? Where are you at least getting
00:04:11.180Trump to sort of moderate his language about Canada? He keeps pushing more because Carney
00:04:17.040is mush, and you push where there's mush to try and get more concessions. And I now quickly want
00:04:22.800to bring you guys over to an excerpt from a CBC article that demonstrates that yes, Carney
00:04:28.920basically didn't push back at all. The elbows up guy is completely elbows down, knees on the
00:04:35.840floor, begging Trump to just be nice to him. Here's what the CBC article said about the
00:04:41.320situation. It says, Carney's office issued a short statement on Monday saying that he spoke
00:04:45.860with both Trump and Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum, but provided little detail on what
00:04:50.760was said. Quote, the prime minister provided an update on the wildfire management and the
00:04:55.480comprehensive approach taken to ensure the safety of all Canadians and Americans, the statement said.
00:04:59.720Last week, cities in Michigan shut down beaches, splash pads, and Red Oaks water park and even indoor pools because of toxic smoke that blanketed Michigan and other northern U.S. states.
00:05:10.360The Detroit Free Press reported that dozens of workers at Ford's Michigan assembly plant were taken to hospital after inhaling wildfire smoke inside non-air-conditioned plants.
00:05:21.140So yeah, Canada's at a rhetorical disadvantage on this issue, and it doesn't matter if forest
00:05:27.860management can properly deal with the wildfire problem or not. The thing is that because we're
00:05:33.920not doing it, we can't say to Trump, well, it wouldn't work. Well, if we were doing it effectively
00:05:40.280and the smoke was still traveling over the southern border, we could say, hey, it just
00:05:44.060happens. We actually have a very aggressive wildfire approach on wildfires. We have way more
00:05:49.720water bombers than we used to five years ago. We've been doing a lot more thinning of forests
00:05:54.940to make sure that the fire doesn't just keep going and going and going. We're trying to build
00:05:59.180in fire bricks. We're not doing any of that, which gives some credence to what Trump is saying,
00:06:05.100even though he's off base that Canada can just stop the wildfires. Again, we have 25% of the
00:06:10.600world's boreal forest. It's not going to happen. You're never going to stop wildfire smoke from
00:06:15.920traveling around North America, whether it's from the U.S. or it's from Canada, no matter how good
00:06:21.800their forest management is. Now, because our forest management is trash, though, every once in a while
00:06:26.520we have a fire that burns down all of Jasper or some other small towns in northern Ontario because
00:06:32.340the red tape to actually being able to cut down a tree is absolutely wild in this country. But now
00:06:39.040I want to move on to some of the excuse making or some of just the anti-Trump deflections that
00:06:46.100are going on when it comes to lefty media. I need to show you guys this clip from Midas Clips. This
00:06:52.560is that hacky organization that former NDP MP Charlie Angus works for. It's a left-wing progressive
00:07:00.460front group operating from the United States operating in Canada. I love this clip because
00:07:08.140basically the way I debunk it is by just continuing to read the thing that this guy
00:07:14.500uses to attack Republican. So check out this video where they try and pivot the news story
00:07:21.620away from Canada and the forest fires over to America somehow being bad.
00:07:27.640Donald Trump is using the wildfires as a pretext to basically attack Canadian sovereignty,
00:07:35.000which Donald Trump has been trying to do since day one. And then the MAGA sycophants like MAGA
00:07:41.960Republican Tim Sheehy says, as a former water bomber pilot who used to lead an aerial firefighting
00:07:48.540fleet, I can tell you, send help is an extremely dishonest framing by the Canadian government. I
00:07:56.080mean, just think about how sicko these MAGOs are. Send help. What a dishonest framing.0.97
00:08:22.040How about you just do what neighbors have always done?
00:08:25.040Why don't you do what Canada does here for the United States?1.00
00:08:27.580And then Donald Trump, the sicko scumbag, goes, Tim Sheehy is great, a winner, DJT.0.99
00:08:34.700I let that go on for a while because it's going to, the amount of times he kept repeating his dumb points about, oh, how these people are so sick, him claiming that it's dishonest framing by Doug Ford is sick.0.99
00:08:49.740So what what happened here was Montana Senator Tim Sheehy was reacting to Doug Ford saying that rather than the Americans complaining about all the smoke, they should send support.
00:09:03.320Tim Sheehy said, as a former water bomb water bomber pilot who used to lead an aerial firefighting fleet, I can tell you sent help is an extremely dishonest framing by the Canadian government.
00:09:15.940Now, that's where the guy from Midas Clips ended up, or Midas Touch, that progressive American front group that has Canadians that work for it.
00:09:30.800The Canadian government routinely blocks U.S. firefighting companies from attacking fires in Canada, while aggressively sending their government-subsidized aircraft to the U.S. to earn commercial rates from the U.S. taxpayer.0.80
00:09:44.120It's big business for them, and they run it like a Chinese protectionist racket.0.64
00:10:44.400if you refuse to actually engage in the argument that he made.0.69
00:10:49.260Now I just want to move on to another issue,
00:10:52.200and it goes back to the bridge. Again, Mark Carney and the Liberals are like a bad infomercial
00:10:58.760product. It looks good on TV, but if you actually order the thing, it doesn't work. He claimed that
00:11:04.840he knows how to deal with Donald Trump, and then we bought the Mark Carney as seen on TV product,
00:11:10.200and it turns out he's never dealt with the man in his life, and he was lying. Mark Carney is like
00:11:14.980the slap chop of politicians. Looks great on TV, but in real life, you're going to be picking out
00:11:21.320small pieces of potato from between the blades because they didn't tell you that things can get
00:11:25.460jammed between it. But this was posted by conservative deputy whip Chris Workington.
00:11:31.980I believe he's the deputy whip. He actually might be the chief whip. I'm sorry to Chris
00:11:35.260Workington if he's the chief whip and I first assumed he was the deputy. But Chris Workington
00:11:39.980here says, in response to this national post headline that says, Lutnick boasts U.S. will get
00:11:45.26050% of net revenues on Gordie Howe Bridge calls it art of the deal. Howard Lutnick is the
00:11:51.140trade advisor to Donald Trump if you didn't already know that. Chris Workington here says,
00:11:56.780Mark Carney is hiding the truth from Canadians. He got a bad deal on the Gordie Howe International
00:12:01.420Bridge and then lied to Canadians about the terms. Carney needs to come clean now. He must release
00:12:07.560the agreement so Canadians can see the facts. And I think this is going to be one of those things
00:12:12.520that's going to continue dogging Carney for the next couple of months. Carney is in a very
00:12:17.660vulnerable position right now. As I went over on the whiteboard yesterday, the best issue for the
00:12:23.740Carney liberals is Trump and his administration. 31% of Canadians put that as one of their top
00:12:31.240three policy issues if another federal election was called. Now, I assume that a lot of liberals
00:12:37.700make that basically their number one or number two issue because that party has basically just
00:12:42.980become a vehicle for thumbing your nose at the Trump Republicans, even though it's not even the
00:12:48.260same country. But what we saw is that between May and now July, the liberals have fallen from
00:12:57.28066% of people believing they're the best to deal with that issue of the 31% who pick it as one of
00:13:03.160their top three to 63%. But that poll was conducted before the Gordie Howe Bridge situation was added
00:13:10.100in. I think if the liberals can be moved below, let's say, 55, 53% of people who consider Trump
00:13:18.900and his administration one of the top issues for them, if you can move them below 55% of people
00:13:24.340who value that issue thinking they're the best, then they are going to have a really big problem
00:13:29.820getting reelected. Because another thing I went over on the whiteboard yesterday was all the
00:13:35.160biggest cost of living issues, economy issues, those ones are all favoring the conservatives.
00:13:40.860Cost of living, the economy, housing, all favors the conservatives right now, despite the fact that
00:13:47.420that poll still had the liberals leading 6% federally. Yes, conservatives are predisposed
00:13:53.260to picking financial issues as one of their top three issues, but still the fact the liberals were
00:13:58.760leading by 6% should have balanced it out. But when you just ask people about cost of living,
00:14:03.740just ask them about the economy, most Canadians actually trust the Conservatives. But the
00:14:09.260Conservative mission is to not only extend their lead on the cost of living issues by running on
00:14:14.660bolder tax reform policies, like what I always suggest at 20% across the board cut, they also0.56
00:14:20.100need to shift Canadians away from believing that the carny liberals are good on Trump.0.85
00:14:25.320This is a great opening, and they just need to keep hacking away at them. And it's going to be0.97
00:14:30.820a war of attrition on this issue, but every time the liberals mess up, you have to just keep
00:14:35.780slamming the fact that these guys keep oscillating between aggressive elbows up that gets nowhere
00:14:41.680and aggressive capitulation that gets nowhere, and then they want you to trust them simply because
00:14:47.240they aren't Donald Trump. You can like or dislike Donald Trump if you hate the guy's guts. Shouldn't
00:14:53.220you hate Mark Carney even more if he keeps conceding to him? Because at this point, he's
00:14:57.240a partner in crime if you don't like Trump, because he can't actually get any concessions
00:15:02.240in return from him every time he tries to go to the negotiating table. But anyways, with all that
00:15:08.020being said, I think that's probably enough for me today here. I guarantee in the next day or two,
00:15:13.200we're going to see some sort of CBC panel or other liberal on the internet claiming that this was a
00:15:19.140big coup for Mark Carney. Actually, I need to show you guys one more thing, because in the midst of
00:15:24.780all this there was this photo that was posted that a bunch of liberals were trying to spin
00:15:30.460as like representing him being tough on donald trump uh i had to look it up on one of these
00:15:36.180liberal accounts i don't really like visiting but they were sharing around this this one photograph
00:15:41.120of him speaking to donald trump that was supposed to be like really impactful in some way i don't
00:15:47.200get it at all it was this one right here oh my goodness x is really annoying me right now all
00:15:52.820the clips are auto-playing as I scroll by, and I usually want them to stay muted until I tell it
00:15:57.000not to be. They were acting like, oh man, look at this photo of Carney absolutely taking it to
00:16:03.860Donald Trump. He's not. Do you see his body posture here? He again has the shape of a human
00:16:11.360question mark. He has his limp wristed hand pointed kind of at Trump while Trump like kind
00:16:18.200of is looking down his nose at him. Again, I don't want to put too much into sort of body
00:16:22.640language reading. But Carney seems scared of this man. He screwed up on the Gordie Howe bridge.
00:16:28.540He's screwing up on the fire situation. Because if you wanted to be more rhetorically aggressive
00:16:34.520against the Americans at any point, now would be the moment. You would go after the fact that they0.65
00:16:39.800have constant fires in states like California that Canada has had to deal with the smoke from,
00:16:45.160that Canada sends water bombers down to the United States, and now the Americans aren't being
00:16:49.400grateful. Although Tim Sheehy kind of throws a cold bucket of water on that particular line of
00:16:55.320rhetoric, because he pointed out that Canada doesn't actually want American water bombers
00:17:00.760most of the time helping them out. They're going to have to explain that one. But you think at this
00:17:05.260moment, now is the time you're going to look tough. And Carney just kind of issues a statement saying,
00:17:10.400oh yeah, we talked about it. And Trump leaving that meeting, talking to the reporters, sounds
00:17:14.900like he was fairly confident. The whole meeting was basically him telling Carney to get his crap0.99
00:17:20.060together. Carney being like, well, you know, it kind of doesn't really work that way, but I'll,0.97
00:17:24.200you know, I'll take it back to my people and we'll deal with it. And it'd be great if you could give
00:17:28.120us some support. And that's all that happened. Again, I actually think we need a more friendly
00:17:33.040approach with the Americans, but this is not the marketing the liberals ran on in 2025. Again,
00:17:39.920And Carney ran as the guy who, if Trump made a 51st state joke, he was going to go down to Washington, D.C., stick his finger in his trap, backhand him, and tell him to take all the tariffs off.
00:17:51.500And maybe he'll consider, you know, he'll maybe consider taking 50 percent of our counter tariffs off if Trump gives him everything he wants and the state of Rhode Island.
00:18:01.280And now he's like, we'll give you 50 percent of net revenues on the bridge if you let us open it.
