Summary

The National Post has exposed Mark Carney for saying one thing in English and the opposite thing in French. This is a trick you pull in the 80s, like in the 90s, when nobody was paying much attention to it.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 It's only been a little bit more than 24 hours, and Liberal Party leadership candidate Mark Carney is in more trouble once again.
00:00:09.600 This time, the National Post has exposed him for basically saying one thing in English and then saying the opposite thing in French.
00:00:18.900 This is a trick you pull in, like, the 80s, in the 90s, back when nobody's gonna really check.
00:00:25.300 He'd have to be tape recording both French media and English media and having someone who speaks both languages to confirm that they are different statements.
00:00:35.620 He's doing this in the year 2025, so I guess he's a bit of a mad lad for thinking he can get away with this, but it didn't work out.
00:00:43.200 I'm gonna be linking this article in the description below as well as pinned at the top of the comments.
00:00:48.500 It's quite incredible. I don't need to read it for you guys in detail. You can go read it yourself.
00:00:53.140 I don't want to, you know, steal the words of the National Post, but generally what has happened here is that Mark Carney on two major subjects when it comes to public finance as well as energy is literally saying the opposite thing in the two different official languages in Canada.
00:01:11.640 So in Kelowna, he'll show up and say that he's in favor of building pipelines, he wants to get them expedited so that we can be more energy independent and we can ship our oil and gas products not just to the US, but to Asia and to Europe.
00:01:26.140 But then he'll go to Quebec, and if a Quebec interviewer asks him, are you going to force a pipeline on Quebec, even if voters don't want it, which is silly because actually voters in Quebec do in fact want a pipeline, liberal leftists in Quebec don't want it.
00:01:41.100 But then when asked that, Mark Carney will say, I'd never force a pipeline onto Quebec.
00:01:47.300 Same thing on transfer payments. Mark Carney will be asked, well, Mark, are you going to restructure transfer payments to be between provinces?
00:01:58.220 Because it's been something that's been something that's caused a lot of social friction in Canada, and it's a major line item in Canada's budget every year is the transfers between provinces.
00:02:08.840 And he says, yes, in English, we need to restructure it, save some money, be able to maybe reduce taxes in the long run.
00:02:16.160 But in Quebec, when he is speaking French, and I guess technically also northern New Brunswick, he then says, oh, no, of course I wouldn't do that.
00:02:24.960 We're not going to restructure transfer payments. The Quebecers rely on it, and we can't take Quebecers for granted and all this stuff.
00:02:34.520 Mark, this is making you look horrible. And I'm all here for it. I'm a conservative. I want him to lose.
00:02:41.180 But my goodness, if the Liberals think that this guy is their star candidate, they have another thing coming to them.
00:02:46.900 I want to show you again the federal polling numbers right now, because I think as much as people are fearing that Mark Carney is going to be able to catch the Conservatives and that the Conservatives peak too early, I don't think so.
00:03:00.760 In fact, I think right now Mark Carney is peaking too early because of the current response bias driven by the leadership going on for the Liberals.
00:03:10.120 When you have a party leadership, you're going to have a lot more supporters activated to answer polls, and that's where you get poll models based on new polls like the one based off the Angus Reid poll that Sheree Attiste here has done that shows the Liberals actually winning 166 seats and the Conservatives only winning 141 seats.
00:03:29.960 But as my friend Chris from the Great Canadian Bagel podcast has pointed out, I'm going to go find this post, the actual numbers here don't really make sense.
00:03:42.000 So Chris here says, it's laughable to me to see polls with the Liberal Party of Canada at 60% in Atlantic Canada.
00:03:51.600 That's simply not possible. The Liberals under Carney are not going to beat 2015 numbers here.
00:03:57.800 Remember, 2015 was an anomalous year because Harper actively screwed up here.
00:04:03.740 Polyev has done the opposite. And he's right. The Liberals back in 2015, I think got high 40s, if not a little bit more than 50% of the vote in Atlantic Canada.
00:04:14.980 And that's why they swept the province, literally winning every single seat in Atlantic Canada.
00:04:20.100 So Mark Carney is going to somehow do several points better than Justin Trudeau did in 2015 with the terrible government record he has to run on, which is his own record.
00:04:32.240 He is not a fresh face. The man advised on economic policy to the Trudeau Liberals for the last four to six years.
00:04:40.900 Honestly, at the English language debate, either Ruby Dalla or Chrystia Freeland herself needs to turn to Carney and says,
00:04:50.700 you are the one giving the government bad advice for four or five years.
00:04:54.780 You and Trudeau forced me, Chrystia Freeland, or if it's Ruby, you forced Chrystia Freeland to pass these bad policies to implement them.
00:05:02.500 She tried her best. It inevitably failed because it was bad policies.
00:05:06.360 And then you threw Chrystia Freeland under the bus. And by all means, I am not trying to make excuses for Chrystia Freeland.
00:05:13.120 She is also a terrible liberal politician. If she had principle, she would have left a long time ago.
00:05:18.460 She has somewhat some principles, but it's mostly only when it benefits her.
00:05:23.520 Still, the net effect is that Mark Carney has been giving bad advice for several years.
00:05:28.640 And once he becomes a leader, he's not going to suddenly be viewed as a fresh face.
00:05:33.240 He can market himself that way now, but the Conservatives have literally file folders full of information on everything he's said and done
00:05:42.500 over the past four or five years that Canadians absolutely hate.
00:05:46.240 And once Canadians know it was him that did it, they're going to hate him as a candidate just like they hated Ignatieff.
00:05:52.340 Look at this. This is the Angus Reid poll.
00:05:54.480 This is also what proves to me that this is not a very good poll.
00:05:59.660 Look, Alberta, the Conservative Party of Canada gets 57% there.
00:06:04.420 The Liberals get 27. New Democrats, 14.
00:06:08.040 And others in Independence, 3%.
00:06:09.880 That doesn't make any sense to me.
00:06:13.040 Really? You're going to only have...
00:06:15.480 You're going to have 27% Liberals in Alberta and 14% NDP?
00:06:20.420 That's not a real poll, in my opinion.
00:06:23.540 There's no chance that the Liberal Party of Canada is going to get 27% in Alberta.
00:06:29.660 They would be lucky to get 15%.
00:06:31.780 In fact, I wouldn't be shocked if the Liberals and NDP combined are less than 30%, not up to 41% here.
00:06:40.220 That's ridiculous to me.
00:06:42.160 Saskatchewan, that's a little bit more realistic, but that's the problem with polls with bad sample sizes,
00:06:47.300 because this poll needs only 921 people across all provinces.
00:06:51.640 And that means in places like Alberta, it's only 104 people they're polling.
00:06:55.120 In Atlantic Canada, only 84 across several provinces.
00:06:59.460 Look at this.
00:07:00.420 The Liberal Party is getting more, a higher percentage in rural Canada than they are getting in urban Canada.
00:07:08.020 This tells me this is a massive outlier poll.
00:07:12.120 In fact, look at the difference between urban and rural Canada.
00:07:15.720 There were 772 people polled in urban Canada, and only 149 people polled in rural.
00:07:23.180 This shows me, again, I don't blame the pollsters.
00:07:26.280 Many of these are actually very good pollsters, but I don't think they are properly adapting to the fact that
00:07:32.480 because of the Liberal leadership race and because Justin Trudeau is gone,
00:07:36.220 there's a lot of Liberals who are suddenly artificially excited about the next election.
00:07:41.400 Have the Liberals gained support since Trudeau left?
00:07:44.380 Undoubtedly, they have.
00:07:45.720 They were never going to sit at 20% forever, especially considering Jagmeet Singh is such an incompetent leader of the MVP.
00:07:53.660 In 2011, the Liberals could fall below 20%, but that's because they were up against Jack Layton on the left.
00:07:59.820 With Jagmeet Singh, it's really hard to push the Liberals below 20%.
00:08:03.660 And now, they have bounced back to probably about 26% to 29%.
00:08:10.000 Abacus Data, I think, has been doing a really good job of trying to demographically balance their polls
00:08:15.300 so they don't just have a bunch of people in a Starbucks lineup in downtown Toronto answering their polls.
00:08:21.520 And so they are actually giving out realistic numbers.
00:08:24.140 These other pollsters, I don't think, are correcting for that.
00:08:26.660 So when you see that the poll is one extremely urban and metropolitan, that's a problem.
00:08:32.440 And the fact that their rural numbers are only pulling 149 people and the Liberals are doing like 39% there
00:08:38.400 proves to me that people are not double-checking this stuff.
00:08:42.120 Their polls are too metropolitan, too disproportionately probably university college educated,
00:08:49.480 not enough tradespeople, farmers, plumbers, and whatnot.
00:08:52.640 And then they also have way too many people who are basically hardcore Liberal supporters.
00:08:58.680 You're not usually going to get too many hyper-partisans in your poll.
00:09:01.960 And I think that the polls, in a certain sense because it gets them attention, are just not correcting for it.
00:09:06.680 Because it's shocking when you drop a poll and say, look at Carney skyrocketing.
00:09:10.440 In fact, let's go and quickly look at the chart that Angus Reid has put out.
00:09:15.820 I know I showed this before, but I'm just going to say, this is not a realistic chart for any election.
00:09:23.860 Unless Polyev had, like, shanked somebody and that Jagmeet Singh told people to vote Liberal,
00:09:31.160 you're never going to have a party hit 16% in December and then be at 37%, literally 21 points higher, in just a couple of months.
00:09:42.760 I'm sorry, it's a response bias.
00:09:45.860 Liberals went from being only 60% likely to take a poll if they were called, to being, like, 95% likely.
00:09:53.440 So they've had a small bump, but then that bump in the polls is being exasperated by the fact
00:09:58.660 that they are also basically answering polls far more than a typical conservative is.
00:10:05.400 This is what happened to the PPC in 2021.
00:10:08.360 PPC voters were, like, 110% likely to take a poll.
00:10:11.900 They would take multiple phones out just in case somebody called them to do a poll.
00:10:18.920 And so that's why in certain polls they were doing, like, 12% and 10%, but only came in at, like, 5.2%.
00:10:25.720 And it's just because they were literally going to take every poll that they were asked to take,
00:10:32.020 whereas a conservative or a liberal or an NDP in that election were, like, half the time,
00:10:36.720 if you give them a call, they might take the poll.
00:10:38.520 Anyways, so I just want to also mention, because this has now been confirmed to be true,
00:10:45.060 although I'm just showing the article from back when it was a rumor.
00:10:48.180 Again, like I said in yesterday's video, if the liberals were truly surging,
00:10:54.820 why am I watching liberal ministers suddenly say they're not running for re-election again?
00:10:59.860 Again, Pascal Saint-Ange is a one-term liberal MP, and as you can see, she's not exactly 75 years old.
00:11:08.800 She is in her, like, late 30s, early 40s.
00:11:12.120 Why is Pascal Saint-Ange leaving if it's such a slam dunk of an election?
00:11:17.240 Even if she didn't want to be minister or whatever, she has some, you know,
00:11:20.420 personal reasons to not, like, want to run a free election,
00:11:23.900 why not stick around to just be a lazy backbencher?
00:11:26.480 A lot of these people could easily stick around.
00:11:28.880 They're going to have to work some job.
00:11:30.880 They can't just go home and work no job.
00:11:32.840 Like, I guess you can, but, like, why not stick around?
00:11:36.320 Why not stick around for your pension, at least?
00:11:38.580 You know, just to be selfish about it.
00:11:40.580 They're just leaving, and it's probably because the internal liberal numbers,
00:11:43.780 because parties don't skew their own internal polls,
00:11:46.820 because what's the point of lying to yourself?
00:11:49.380 You actually want to know where you have deficits of support
00:11:51.980 and where you have surpluses of support,
00:11:54.300 places that you don't need to campaign too much in because you're already winning,
00:11:57.720 and areas on the margins that you definitely need more resources deployed into.
00:12:02.280 Somebody leaving in Montreal tells me that it's going to be a knife fight in Montreal,
00:12:06.760 and even if she wins, she doesn't really want to stick around in opposition.
00:12:10.640 They're not winning, and a lot of the, I think,
00:12:13.220 the upcoming debates for the liberal leadership race
00:12:15.280 are going to prove that none of these people are star candidates.
00:12:17.880 None of them are making Canadians excited, and there are bad communicators.
00:12:22.920 Again, Carney keeps proving this over and over again.
00:12:26.200 He is terrible at communicating.
00:12:28.240 He cannot go five seconds without stumbling all over himself.
00:12:34.020 Here's Chrystia Freeland trying to label the Conservatives
00:12:36.840 the maple, mega, maple syrup, whatever Conservatives,
00:12:40.920 as if this is a line that's ever going to take off
00:12:42.880 outside of, like, sycophantic leftists on Twitter.
00:12:45.780 People are recognizing that this is such a crucial moment for Canada,
00:12:51.820 and they are recognizing that our party is the party to fight for Canada.
00:12:56.680 They're also recognizing, by the way,
00:12:58.700 Pierre Polyev is not the guy who can do it.
00:13:02.220 He is maple syrup mega.
00:13:05.200 All he wants to do is imitate Trump,
00:13:07.800 and I don't think Canadians trust him to stand up to Trump.
00:13:10.720 What does she even mean by, like, they're imitating Trump?
00:13:16.200 What?
00:13:16.960 Cutting wasteful spending?
00:13:18.520 Cutting taxes?
00:13:19.760 Investing more in the military?
00:13:20.980 Like, the thing is, if she actually said the comparisons,
00:13:24.560 it wouldn't hold up at all.
00:13:25.620 That's why whenever the liberals attack Polyev as being like Trump,
00:13:29.040 they'll never name policies that are similar,
00:13:31.060 because those policies would actually probably be quite popular.
00:13:33.460 They always just play Polyev drinking a glass of water
00:13:36.640 and then Trump drinking a glass of water,
00:13:38.380 because that's as close as you can actually get negative comparisons.
00:13:42.200 They sometimes both use the same words,
00:13:44.040 and even those are, like, things people agree with,
00:13:46.640 like being tough on crime,
00:13:48.340 like wanting to end bail reform that the liberals have been pursuing
00:13:51.580 and the Democrats were pursuing in the United States.
00:13:53.900 It's all so absurd and so stupid.
00:13:57.240 But to circle back again,
00:13:59.620 we are...
00:14:01.160 This has not been a very long liberal leadership so far.
00:14:03.560 Mark Carney has probably had about seven to eight separate scandals so far,
00:14:09.900 and there's more waiting to break.
00:14:12.000 I have heard that his company, Brookfield and whatever,
00:14:16.000 has major overlap with the Chinese government.
00:14:19.720 They meet with the Chinese government,
00:14:21.200 and suddenly they get better deals from the Chinese government.
00:14:24.240 And that this guy, with Brookfield and associates,
00:14:28.320 he's going to become the Prime Minister of Canada
00:14:30.560 after having very deep ties with the Chinese government with his investments.
00:14:35.380 Also, the guy keeps shooting himself in the foot.
00:14:37.620 If he was planning on running for Prime Minister,
00:14:40.040 he didn't plan very well,
00:14:41.060 because last year his company moved their headquarters from Toronto to New York City.
00:14:46.460 And I don't mind that he did that.
00:14:48.080 Probably a smart move.
00:14:49.220 He and Trudeau has ruined the economy here so bad.
00:14:51.300 He probably should move his business in terms of pure selfish reasons
00:14:55.580 to actually want to make money.
00:14:57.420 You should probably move to the U.S.
00:14:59.540 I'm going to stick to Canada, but I'd like to fix this country.
00:15:03.400 But my goodness, you think if you were trying to run for Prime Minister,
00:15:07.380 you wouldn't step in every bear trap that Michael Ignati has stepped in.
00:15:11.860 I also just want to quickly address the idea,
00:15:13.960 well, then why did Stephen Harper bring him into his government if he was so good?
00:15:18.540 And people do this as the counter to my nickname for Mark Carney, Marks Carney.
00:15:24.700 It's because, oh, well, if he's such a Marxist, if he's such a socialist,
00:15:29.180 why would Harper want him?
00:15:31.440 Mark Carney is a smart guy.
00:15:33.420 He can be competent at a job.
00:15:35.800 If Stephen Harper and Flaherty tell him exactly what to do,
00:15:40.940 Carney will carry it out fine.
00:15:43.000 That's okay.
00:15:44.580 Carney in a decision-making position is terrible.
00:15:47.600 This is what the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
00:15:50.640 was warning Canadians about, Liz Truss,
00:15:53.500 by saying that he was extremely high-handed around Brexit.
00:15:57.060 And instead of being what a normal governor of the Bank of England should do
00:16:02.120 as being a follower of government policy,
00:16:04.940 if the government wants to do something on the financial side,
00:16:08.120 he should follow suit with the appropriate monetary changes
00:16:11.940 and policies that are needed to make sure that the government policy works out.
00:16:16.060 Instead, what Liz Truss said is that what Mark Carney would do is come to them and say,
00:16:22.080 you're going to do this and that,
00:16:23.880 or I'm going to walk out and blame you guys for everything
00:16:26.600 and say you're messing up Brexit and you're destroying the economy.
00:16:30.260 The man is extremely high-handed and willing to threaten people to get what he wants.
00:16:35.100 So him doing a good job under Harper really just reflected that Harper was a good manager of people,
00:16:40.580 a good leader overall, and when Carney followed orders, he could do fine stuff.
00:16:46.020 But when Carney is doing what he wants and advising Trudeau with what he genuinely personally thinks,
00:16:51.740 it all falls apart and fails because he doesn't actually know what he's doing.
00:16:56.000 His perspective is toxic, and I think a lot of people are going to figure that out quite quickly.
00:17:00.400 Anyways, so that's it for me today, guys.

00:17:13.260 I'll be making another video today.
00:17:15.260 Oh my goodness, I'm going to try and cover the Ontario election debate,
00:17:18.320 which was torture to watch.
