The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney Ignored by Trump after failure to secure Trade Deal!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. In the middle of what I assumed was going to be a very slow news day,

00:00:06.740 I ended up tuning into a press conference being held by Prime Minister Mark Carney in Kelowna,

00:00:12.320 British Columbia, where he said something very revealing about Canada's current relationship

00:00:18.200 with the United States and Donald Trump. I want to get into the details in just a second here,

00:00:23.600 but basically, Carney hasn't been speaking to Donald Trump. He hasn't spoken to him since the

00:00:28.360 August 1st deadline, and the evidence suggests he probably hasn't spoken to him directly since the

00:00:33.200 Oval Office meeting a couple of months ago. And then we wonder why we didn't end up getting a trade

00:00:38.600 deal signed by the guy who claimed that he knew how to deal with men like Donald Trump. So I want to

00:00:45.240 show you a couple of things that happened in this press conference, but before I get into it, I just

00:00:50.200 want to remind you guys, if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on the video, leave a comment

00:00:54.480 on what you think really helps us in the algorithm, and I do like scrolling through and seeing what

00:00:59.060 people are saying. Oh my goodness, voice crack there. And then of course, also subscribe if you

00:01:03.480 are not yet a subscriber. I'm going to start this off before we get to the Donald Trump part with how

00:01:09.240 this press conference was opened up by who I believe is the liberal MP for the Kelowna riding,

00:01:15.800 who ends up kicking this press conference off with a land acknowledgement, which I always find

00:01:20.980 endlessly annoying. But I need you guys to listen to it for a very important reason.

00:01:26.180 Hello, everybody. Thank you. Thank you for coming today. I think it's important that

00:01:29.540 we start by a land acknowledgement. So I'd like to acknowledge we're on the traditional and unseated

00:01:33.560 territory of the Silks Okanagan people. I have driven by this lumber mill, I don't know,

00:01:40.780 100, 200 times going to Vancouver, going to Penticton. I've never been inside. It is unbelievable in

00:01:48.100 there. You see a blend of old school moving wood around to technology that's maximizing every piece

00:01:53.900 of the lumber that goes through there. It's pretty incredible. Okay, that was a completely empty

00:01:59.140 comment at the end, but I just wanted you to hear this guy talk because you'll probably never see much

00:02:03.300 of him during this parliamentary session. But why unseated territory? The territory is quite literally

00:02:12.780 ceded from First Nations to the province of British Columbia and Canada. I don't understand

00:02:20.020 why progressive politicians feel the need to literally make things up just to virtue signal.

00:02:27.500 British Columbia is not like Alberta. There's not even really treaty areas. It's pretty much just

00:02:33.020 public land or privately held land with small areas of title land. But if you believe in the fantasy

00:02:42.380 that is created by DRIPA or UNDRIP, all of this land is still unseated First Nations territory

00:02:48.840 because we're basically just going to pretend it is. And that's the problem. Mark Carney is standing next

00:02:56.120 to his MP here saying this. Maybe he's not the Kelowna MP. Maybe it's the guy to the right. I don't know.

00:03:01.540 Most liberal MPs are completely interchangeable with one another because they just follow the leader

00:03:06.800 in the most dogmatic way possible. But he's sitting next to a guy saying this stuff. Basically saying

00:03:12.200 that it's their territory still and they have control over it. And we think that Mark Carney

00:03:17.100 is going to get any major project built. He keeps going to First Nations conferences,

00:03:22.180 Inuit leaders, and saying that, oh yeah, we're going to try and get major projects done with you 0.62

00:03:26.840 guys, but we need your full consent first. We need to do a full consultation. Meaning it's not going to

00:03:32.480 happen. It is what I've said in other videos, outsourcing saying no. He's saying, I'd love to

00:03:38.340 have a project. This is the same thing that Wob Canoe and David Eby do, the terrible premier of

00:03:43.320 British Columbia. They will just say, oh, of course I want a project. But these people are saying no.

00:03:49.100 Those people, I'm not trying to be rude, but they don't matter for this project being approved.

00:03:54.720 You just have to approve it. You are simply outsourcing to somebody that you know will say no,

00:03:59.320 or you know will hold up the project so long it basically gets defeated by the process.

00:04:04.060 You're just outsourcing them doing that so you don't have to do it. So you can pretend to be the

00:04:08.360 yes guy while also letting someone else take the fall for being the no person. If anything,

00:04:12.940 it's the most insulting thing you could possibly do to First Nations. Finding First Nations lefty 0.61

00:04:18.360 activists in order to say no to projects, which is going to cause a lot of Canadians to think that

00:04:22.880 First Nations are against economic development, which most of them are in favor of. It's just the 1.00

00:04:27.480 activists on the band councils who say no to things all the time. Well, that gets under my skin.

00:04:33.900 And by the way, guys, if you live in the province of British Columbia, please join the 1BC party. I

00:04:39.560 will link that party's website in the description below as well as pinned to the top of the comments.

00:04:43.900 I work in caucus with them. I'm obviously not an MLA, but I'm an advisor on communications and policy

00:04:50.260 for the leader, Dallas Brody, and for the house leader, Tara Armstrong. Tara Armstrong actually 0.94

00:04:56.100 being a Kelowna area MLA or a lake shore cold stream or lakefront cold stream. I always get that

00:05:02.180 wrong. But let's now jump in to the section where we are talking about Donald Trump. And I will make

00:05:10.100 a video later on about BC politics and going in depth on that. It's such a mess right now. We just

00:05:15.780 had some BC conservative MLA also from Kelowna. Gavin do release this article talking about how as

00:05:22.100 conservatives, we need to basically build things, not destroy them. And it's like this 2000 word, I don't

00:05:29.420 know how long it is, but it's just, it was too long for how little he said. He just goes on and on in this

00:05:35.400 like Andrew Coyne-esque article about how conservatives need to conserve things, which means that we shouldn't

00:05:41.760 be blowing up institutions in British Columbia if we end up getting in government. So he's basically saying as one

00:05:48.180 of the people who frankly is probably one of the most, the top five most powerful MLAs in the BC

00:05:53.100 conservatives right now, he's saying, don't worry if we get in, we will touch nothing. Because apparently

00:05:58.200 that's what conservatives are supposed to do. Liberals set up broken institutions and Gavin Dew-esque 0.99

00:06:04.000 conservatives or Andrew Coyne-esque conservatives will just defend them. They will defend them to the

00:06:09.700 hilt. Institutions that are broken. That's why the BC conservatives are now mostly in favor of DRIPA.

00:06:14.860 They are now effectively in favor of SOGI with some adjustments, which is just the caretaker

00:06:20.260 nonsense that Andrew Coyne ends up advocating conservatives do. Liberals create something

00:06:25.460 and conservatives tinker with it, fix it up a little bit, shine it, and they keep it safe until

00:06:29.840 the liberals come back in and make it even more insane. But now here is Mark Carney being asked a

00:06:36.160 question from a journalist about has he talked to Donald Trump or not? And he just flat out says no and

00:06:42.280 then starts talking about subsidies. Next question, CBC. Hi, Prime Minister Carney,

00:06:47.880 Brady Strachan, CBC Kelowna. Have you spoken to Donald Trump in recent days? And will you retaliate

00:06:54.540 with more counter tariffs, including on American steel or counter measures or lift counter measures

00:07:00.840 already in place? Thank you for the for the question. I haven't spoken to the president in recent

00:07:06.280 days where we'll speak when when it makes sense. We with respect to steel specifically,

00:07:14.080 I'm going to stop it there before I let him go through on talking about subsidies to steel and

00:07:20.040 softwood and whatnot. You what we're going to talk when it's appropriate to talk. And again,

00:07:26.560 he didn't even ask, have you spoken to him since August 1? He's just saying, have you spoken to him

00:07:30.660 recently? I consider recently being like the last week or two. And again, evidence suggests he has

00:07:36.940 not been speaking to Donald Trump because his schedule has been full, but full of stuff that

00:07:42.000 I really don't care if the premier of the prime minister does or not hosting these premier meetings

00:07:47.220 where they all sit in a circle and they say we should do something and then they don't do something

00:07:50.680 or going around and meeting the premier PEI or going to the Northwest territories or going to a

00:07:56.760 Vancouver bride parade where he took a photo with a man wearing a dog fetish mask. I'm going to make 1.00

00:08:03.360 that an aside later in this video. Prime minister shouldn't be taking photos with weirdos, but he's

00:08:08.100 been obviously had a full enough schedule where he probably hasn't had the time to sit down for a

00:08:12.340 couple of hours and get a call with the president. And when he's saying, well, I'll talk to him when

00:08:16.480 it's appropriate. Appropriate was well before August 1st. It's deeply appropriate now to give a call.

00:08:22.760 What are you waiting for him to call you? He's not. He's signing trade deals with other countries.

00:08:27.740 He doesn't really need to deal with Canada considering that he can just force us to become

00:08:32.080 USMCA compliant with our goods, which by the way, costs money in order to avoid the 35% tariff.

00:08:37.960 It costs a lot of money to become USMCA compliant. Do you know how I know? Before December when Donald

00:08:45.060 Trump was threatening tariffs on Canada, if you were not USMCA compliant, you would basically have to pay

00:08:50.920 anywhere from like a 5% to 10% tariff. It depended on the product and whatnot, but it was a small

00:08:57.100 tariff, single digit tariff. And in 2024, only about 35% of firms in Canada exporting to the US even

00:09:05.720 bothered becoming USMCA compliant with their goods. I know people keep saying CUMSA. You should say

00:09:10.760 CUMSA because that's the Canadian way of saying the agreement name. I'm sorry, USMCA sounds better.

00:09:15.800 I'm not going to say CUMSA every single time. But it tells you how much it costs to become USMCA

00:09:23.480 compliant, considering that when companies were paying, let's say even just a 5% tariff. A 5%

00:09:30.000 tariff was worth paying compared to getting USMCA compliant. So even with Carney saying in this press

00:09:35.780 conference, well, you know, 80% of our goods are already USMCA compliant. Okay, good. So we're going to

00:09:41.800 avoid a 35% tariff. But that means we're at least paying more than 5% extra for all these products

00:09:47.620 because all the extra regulatory burdens from all the extra sourcing burdens for material and labor

00:09:52.940 in order to create a product that is USMCA compliant. It's still going to cost our consumers

00:09:57.780 more. Yes, you can avoid the 35%, but you're still paying potentially 7% or 8% more in order to become 0.93

00:10:05.460 USMCA compliant. So and then there's other things that can't become USMCA compliant, like softwood,

00:10:11.800 lumber, aluminum, steel, all those things. But here and also auto as well. I'll let Mark Carney keep

00:10:18.720 going on. We announced a comprehensive approach on steel two weeks ago, which included support,

00:10:26.880 significant support for repositioning, significant support for by Canadian and

00:10:31.740 with respect to say catalyze, you know, you want to say catalyze, if I can draw some distinctions with

00:10:38.480 respect to softwood lumber, obviously, the core of the demand domestically, not all of it, but the core

00:10:44.180 of the demand or much of the increase in demand can be through our new approach to home building in this

00:10:49.580 country. With steel, the defense procurement comes into play. The broader infrastructure investments is

00:10:56.640 part of our, our, our, our building can't national projects of national significance and the

00:11:03.120 requirements we'll have around those. So we had those out. So our strategy now that we don't have

00:11:08.620 a tariff agreement, we don't have a agreement to avoid tariffs. And by the way, he later goes on to

00:11:13.460 say, and we're, I'm going to get to this ridiculous media question asked to Carney, which like, honestly, 0.63

00:11:17.960 was kind of dumb question to ask from this one reporter we're going to get to later. But his strategy

00:11:22.800 for how to make up for the economic losses that we are going to suffer. Yes, tariffs are going to hurt

00:11:28.060 the American consumer quite directly, because they're paying more for anything coming from Canada,

00:11:32.120 that's not USMCA compliant, although they still have to pay more because again, it costs money in

00:11:37.100 order to become USMCA compliant. And it's not a one time cost. That's an ongoing cost, obviously.

00:11:42.780 But with our strategy, apparently, is more government subsidies, it's more government projects.

00:11:49.440 And even Mark Carney's own housing minister, the former mayor of Vancouver, talked about how the

00:11:56.420 new housing approach is not going to affect home prices over the next few years. Well, okay, well,

00:12:03.000 how many houses are you really building if you're not going to be affecting the prices? Because they

00:12:07.600 are kind of restricting immigration a little bit more, although they are throwing around renewals for

00:12:12.820 TFWs, and students like their candy. So the problem is, is like, if your housing strategy is going to be

00:12:20.720 so mild, that you're not even going to affect the housing prices, because they're deeply afraid of

00:12:25.720 their 55 plus voting demographic. If you're watching this video, when you're above the age of 55,

00:12:31.880 you're probably conservative, if you've been watching me for 12 minutes and 30 seconds. But the thing is,

00:12:38.040 disproportionately older voters are voting liberal, and the liberals are almost handicapping

00:12:43.960 their own housing strategy in order to serve people who already own their own homes, who might

00:12:48.620 be outwardly concerned about the prices going down. Even though if your home price goes down by 20%,

00:12:55.840 which is not even what is required, but even if your house price went down by 20%, if you bought your

00:13:02.260 house, like many people above the age of 55 did, like 10, 20, 30 years ago, your house is still worth

00:13:09.580 way more than when you purchased it. So that's a small, that's not even a sacrifice. Your house is

00:13:15.100 a bubble right now. Your housing price is a bubble, and we should be letting some air out of it so that

00:13:19.760 new people can purchase homes. So we're going to apparently economically recover, because we're going

00:13:26.080 to take our steel and softwood, and we're going to jam it into our modular home building projects,

00:13:31.160 in which modular homes don't really, because they're modular homes, don't really need that many

00:13:36.220 building materials, and a lot of it's prefabricated materials. I guess we're going to be using softwood

00:13:41.020 lumber and steel to build them. Okay, well, those were already not very attractive houses, so the

00:13:46.720 liberals are going to have a big youth backlash. It's not really going to make up for the amount of

00:13:52.080 steel and aluminum and softwood that we were previously exporting to the United States. 80% of what

00:13:58.220 we produced was going to the US. We're not going to be, we're not going to be sucking all that up

00:14:02.820 with a few major building projects, few major infrastructure projects, modular homes, and

00:14:07.580 whatever else they want to do. And we, our economy is already 44% government-related spending. I believe

00:14:14.660 it's like 35% direct government spending, and then the rest of it is like the government paying a company

00:14:19.960 to do something. We can't get any more government-based without basically becoming a socialist

00:14:26.260 economy. But I will let Mark Carney finish his remarks here, then I want to jump to the next

00:14:31.440 question.

00:14:31.860 ...plements there, plus some industry repositioning. So we feel, look, it's a challenging position.

00:14:38.880 We have put in place a series of measures, and I would add one other thing, which I think is

00:14:43.460 relevant. I know it's relevant for Canada, but I would submit that it's very relevant for the United

00:14:48.120 States. We've also put in place the toughest measures against foreign steel that could be

00:14:55.980 dumped into Canada or trans-shipped through Canada to other markets. So again, I just wrapped that into

00:15:05.120 the broader, broader discussion. Thank you.

00:15:07.140 And that's the funny thing. We have tariffs against other countries because we don't want them dumping

00:15:11.880 steel into our economy. You know, we don't want China or Russia or Iran. I'm not sure if Iran does 0.99

00:15:17.760 any steel-based anything. But we're trying to prevent steel dumping into our economy. At the

00:15:23.380 same time, we also have supply management tariffs against dairy and chicken products from outside

00:15:27.640 our country, which disproportionately are going to affect farmers within the United States along the

00:15:32.660 border of Canada. And it also hurts our own farmers who don't get to be part of the CODA system.

00:15:37.820 We say all that, and then we're, like, offended by the tariffs in the US. And by the way, tariffs are bad

00:15:42.140 in general, unless it's for national security reasons against, you know, China and Iran or any

00:15:47.180 other terror state or communist dictatorship. I'm fine with that. But in general, we shouldn't want

00:15:52.040 tariffs. But it's always weird when we criticize the implementation of tariffs from the United States,

00:15:57.120 but then we never look back at our own tariffs that we have on other just products in general or

00:16:02.540 specific countries. And we're like, but those are okay. But now I need to get over to possibly what is

00:16:08.100 the dumbest question asked in this entire press conference by a local journalist trying to craft 0.95

00:16:14.760 the narrative that, and this she's, I think she thinks she's playing into the liberal narrative 0.99

00:16:18.760 because it's probably a liberal journalist acting like, well, it doesn't really matter that we didn't 0.99

00:16:23.860 get a trade deal signed because Donald Trump's crazy. 0.97

00:16:26.640 A courier? Barb Aguirre? Kelowna courier? Do you feel the US under the Trump administration would 0.97

00:16:32.920 honor any trade agreement that Canada could negotiate, seeing that they're a perceived

00:16:37.700 unreliable trade partner? What is that? What kind of question is that? Like, well,

00:16:43.660 it doesn't even matter that you failed on trade because Donald Trump is so unreliable.

00:16:48.340 And again, I think she thinks she's helping the liberal narrative by asking that question. But

00:16:54.440 it puts Carney in this really awkward position where like, what do you want me to do? Agree that

00:16:59.100 the guy on the other side of the border is unreliable? Like, yeah, he's going to love that.

00:17:02.620 But this is the kind of elbows up mentality that you get with a lot of these like, liberals in the

00:17:10.540 media. The idea that we it doesn't matter what we do, we can always just say that Trump is

00:17:15.080 unreliable. So it literally doesn't matter that we're being unreliable. It doesn't really matter

00:17:19.960 that we're not trading, we're not negotiating a trade deal in good faith. We're not we're not off

00:17:24.440 putting anything on the table to get a better deal. We're not even threatening anything to get

00:17:27.400 a better deal. We just kind of sit there and say, can you do something for us? Even in this press

00:17:31.460 conference, I think he actually says it in this answer. So I want to spoil it. But he basically

00:17:35.400 says he's like, no, he's like has no priority on trying to get a trade deal signed.

00:17:40.980 I think this, you know, when you're in a negotiation like this, and it's a very fluid one,

00:17:47.560 you're looking for real win win opportunities that that make an agreement reinforcing.

00:17:53.780 I actually fully 1000% agree with that. When you are negotiating any deal, especially one with

00:18:03.180 Donald Trump, who winning is like one of his favorite words, you are trying to create a win

00:18:08.360 win scenario, you get something, and they get something, or at least they perceive that they

00:18:12.700 got something. So maybe Trump on a political level just wants to make it look like Canada,

00:18:18.560 you know, bent the knee a little bit, and he gets to go into the midterm election saying,

00:18:22.560 look, my tariff strategy worked, even if basically nothing changes. But the problem is,

00:18:27.000 as he goes on here, he doesn't really describe a willingness to make it a win win. He just

00:18:31.560 basically acts like a win is whatever we want. And the funny thing is what he wants isn't even

00:18:37.720 exactly good for Canada. Again, supply management isn't even good for our own country. And if this

00:18:43.100 guy and the elbows up crew really cared about the economy, really cared about Canadians,

00:18:48.240 especially young Canadians, why not lower taxes? Oh, but they did lower taxes. Why have they reduced

00:18:53.620 income taxes under $50,000 by 1%? Who cares? It's literally a rounding error, even for people only

00:19:02.480 making that much money a year that you don't even pay taxes on the first $18,000. And you're going to

00:19:08.520 have the rate reduced for the rest of the 32,000 down to the rate is going to go down by 1%. So the

00:19:15.800 average person is going to save, what is it like 250 bucks, 300 bucks. I know they said, oh, you could

00:19:22.840 save up to $500. I don't know what household that you get, like, I guess you have to be making exactly

00:19:30.520 $50,000 with a bunch of other potential reductions that you're allowed to have. But anyways, I'll let

00:19:36.660 this keep going. First, that's the first point. So looking at those areas where the US, the president

00:19:46.140 personally puts a very high emphasis on. So the president cares deeply about cross-border flow of

00:19:53.740 fentanyl, ending the scourge of fentanyl. So do we. I would actually say we actually kind of already

00:19:58.860 achieved our goal on this one. We said we will up security on fentanyl. We did it. But then he will go

00:20:03.960 on to belittle the issue once again, like the liberals have been doing saying only 1% of seizures

00:20:08.720 are on the Canadian side of the border. And then I have to tell you like a little story, because I

00:20:12.900 just crossed the border from Montana to BC going back to Alberta yesterday. And I saw our border

00:20:20.120 security up close. Our CBS agents are great, by the way. But obviously, they do not have the resources

00:20:26.080 to police everything. We are in the process of cracking down on fentanyl. We've got a thousand

00:20:33.640 more RCMP personnel coming on board. We have a thousand more border agents. We've got better

00:20:39.580 surveillance technology. We're cracking down on transnational gangs. We're doing all those

00:20:44.120 things first and foremost for Canada. But actually, it helps solve the issues with the United States

00:20:49.200 issues, which to be absolutely transparent, Canada is a rounding error for relative to other sources

00:20:56.780 of other. I know they're talking about seizures, but seizures are not all the fentanyl coming over

00:21:03.440 the border. Do you really think that all these super labs, which are have been busted, not that far

00:21:09.760 away from the US border from the Washington state border? Do you think those are just the noble fentanyl

00:21:15.360 dealers who are making the stuff, but they would never violate an international border to walk a

00:21:22.240 duffel bag full of fentanyl over and hand it off to somebody to go sell it in Seattle and Portland or

00:21:26.940 anywhere else in the United States? That would never happen. We would, they would never. These are noble

00:21:32.660 Canadian fentanyl dealers who only sell onto the East, into East Hastings. Obviously, they're going to be

00:21:38.380 selling into the US. And when Canada's like, we only found 50 grams of it or whatever this last year,

00:21:43.440 and there was pounds and pounds of it, kilograms coming from Mexico. It's like, okay, I have no

00:21:49.300 doubt they seize a lot over Mexico. And I don't have any doubt that Mexico is a bigger problem than

00:21:53.920 Canada. I also don't think 1% of seizures coming from Canada really represents the problem. Because

00:21:59.760 like Carney is admitting, effectively by upping our security, our security wasn't really all that tight

00:22:05.180 along the border. And I was going over the border yesterday, and there was some random guy dropped off

00:22:11.060 from a car. I guess that guy didn't want to have to go over the border, just dropped his friend off.

00:22:15.640 The guy's walking around with a duffel bag and pulling a suitcase. And he tries to walk over the

00:22:20.580 border. It would CBSA agents didn't stop him. Well, who's the people who stopped it were the other

00:22:25.360 people in line saying like, you can't do that? What's wrong with you? And the guy started arguing

00:22:29.000 with them. And eventually, like when the person said, like, you know, that you could get like,

00:22:32.040 you know, imprisoned, because it looks like that person was like, trying to make a very insistent

00:22:36.460 point at him. And he was arguing back and forth. He eventually went back the other way. I'm not sure

00:22:40.520 where he ended up going to. A CBSA agent didn't even see him. He could have just kept going. And

00:22:45.560 there was no sign of a CBSA agent coming out to be like, hey, you know, hey, settle down there,

00:22:49.700 you know, go back in line. You're walking over, but you still have to go over a normal port of entry.

00:22:55.520 We just don't really have proper border security in this country. And part of it is the challenge of

00:23:00.400 having like the biggest border, the biggest undefended border on the planet. At the same time,

00:23:05.000 you know, it's great we're putting up drones and sheriff's officers and other people to patrol it,

00:23:09.640 you know, identify where guns are coming over and fentanyl stuff we should already care about,

00:23:14.240 because I don't want illegal guns getting into Toronto and whatnot. Anyways, I'll let this keep

00:23:19.840 going into that country. But that's an example where we will continue to do things in a win-win way.

00:23:26.060 In the sector, in the steel sector, in the auto sector, we firmly believe, and the auto companies

00:23:32.760 would absolutely reinforce this, is we are essential to the competitiveness of the American

00:23:38.940 auto sector. How do we reinforce that? That's part of what we're talking about. Last point,

00:23:45.160 and there's many others to make, but, and I read it. It was such an asinine point. We need to let, 0.98

00:23:50.500 we need to remind the Americans how important we are. It's like, okay, I don't doubt that the

00:23:55.820 negotiators know that it's probably better for the American economy not to have tariffs on Canada.

00:24:00.560 At the same time, Donald Trump's priority is trying to get us to remove supply management,

00:24:04.700 which he is still not mentioned in this entire press conference, despite Trump mentioning it

00:24:08.240 a few times already, that he wants that at least softened or completely eliminated so that, you

00:24:12.960 know, Wisconsin cheesemakers can send their product in Canada. We are only, we keep talking about how

00:24:18.080 we need to sit down, look them in the eyes and say, you know, we're important to you. I think they

00:24:22.840 know that they're important to us, or we're important to them, you know, vice versa. The problem is,

00:24:27.540 what actual win are you giving them? References in my remark. You see these countries making

00:24:33.520 commitments for investments in the United States. Canada is the second largest investor in the

00:24:39.540 United States today. Okay. And I've already seen this. So he just starts reiterating that point

00:24:44.260 over and over again. We need to, all these countries are making investment promises with

00:24:48.600 the United States that they're going to buy up a certain amount of cars, or they're going to buy

00:24:51.580 certain amounts of defense equipment and whatnot. Does he realize that that undermines all the trade

00:24:56.180 deals he's been signing in Europe and in Asia? There's all these Asian countries that even though

00:25:01.460 the U S is going to put like a 10% tariff, 15% tariff on their imports, they are also making a

00:25:06.940 promise that they're going to buy more American stuff. So why are we, we cannot, our, we're,

00:25:11.900 our export policy, our export strategy to Europe and Asia is being undermined by the fact that those 1.00

00:25:17.140 Asian countries need to save money so that their companies will buy more stuff from the United States.

00:25:22.160 They won't even have anything left over to buy stuff from Canada. And again, we think,

00:25:26.180 we think, we seem to think sitting around reminding the U S that Canada is still North of them is going

00:25:31.780 to be enough. Should it? Maybe. I don't think it really matters though. And that's the thing is that

00:25:36.940 whenever people are like, well, the Trump shouldn't have done this to us and it's bad and all that.

00:25:40.440 Okay. Well, what are we going to do about it? And if we don't, if we don't have that,

00:25:45.300 if we don't know what we're going to do about it, well then there's no point in complaining.

00:25:48.500 And so I want to make a final point today. And it's a bit of a silly one. It's kind of a follow 0.74

00:25:53.180 along on yesterday. Can the prime minister's security, please stop letting people in fetish

00:26:00.440 gear and not wearing pants, walk up to him, hug him, take a selfie. They should be tackling this

00:26:05.660 guy and like deporting him. Just kidding. But like, you know, I might like, can we have some decorum

00:26:12.360 around the prime minister and any elected official stop taking photos with freaks. If you're wearing a 0.94

00:26:18.380 fetish dog mask in public, I'm sorry, you are now a freak in my mind. That's weird. And this is just 0.98

00:26:24.980 like, you think that the media would be reporting on this. It's not like the most pressing issue,

00:26:29.620 but the fact that a man wearing a thong and then this guy comes and takes a photo with the prime

00:26:34.040 minister at a pride parade should probably tell you that maybe politicians should either not go to 0.99

00:26:38.140 these events or that their security should basically be like, you know, like linebackering these

00:26:43.700 people away. Like, dude, get out of the way. If you are here, not act, not wearing a suit and tie,

00:26:49.640 you're not taking a photo with the prime minister because it's the prime minister. I don't like Mark

00:26:54.180 Carney, but I don't want Mark Carney being undermined by weirdos that make the country overall look bad.

00:27:01.160 Anyways, well, on that note, that's the end of the video, guys. Make sure to like the video,

00:27:06.500 subscribe, leave a comment, do all that fantastic stuff. And I will be back with another video

00:27:11.520 at another time. See you guys all later.
