00:00:00.000I predict that Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals are going to start suffering in the polls over the next couple of months after effectively surrendering to President Donald Trump on the trade issue.
00:00:11.880It turns out Carney is not the Trump whisperer, despite claiming that he's dealt with Donald Trump before and that the Liberal government wasn't going to sign any old deal with the Americans.
00:00:21.620we are only going to sign a deal that was great for Canadians.
00:00:25.060Because all of that pie-in-the-sky rhetoric, all the elbows-up nonsense,
00:00:29.460has pushed back getting a trade deal for a year and a half.
00:02:38.020And then he gets to say, oh, look, I won.
00:02:40.100we get to avoid the tariffs, and we got to jettison a bunch of taxes that we don't like
00:02:44.500anyways. But instead, we were in pursuit of the perfect deal, where we give up absolutely nothing
00:02:50.200and they drop all the tariffs because we sat around like this, saying elbows up enough.
00:02:56.120But what do I know? I guess I'm not the Trump whisperer that is Mark Carney. I want to take
00:03:01.760you guys over now to a CBC news segment, or maybe do I want to jump over to something else first?
00:03:08.500No, we're going to do the CBC segment right now because despite every CBC panel basically being three leftists and a sort of conservative, everyone on this panel sounds somewhat conservative just because Carney's failure is so total, it's extremely difficult to defend.
00:03:26.420Now, actually, Ginny Roth on the panel is a real conservative.
00:03:29.200I just say that because sometimes they have people like Andrew Coyne and Fred DeLore who are barely conservative in any way.
00:03:34.540But despite this panel being hosted by Katie Simpson and having a Trudeau advisor on it and a Globe and Mail opinion writer, it sounds like a Conservative Party convention.
00:03:46.660Not because they're supporting the Conservatives, but these are the same criticisms the Conservatives have been making for the past year and a half on Carney's strategy that they were being skewered for and accused of not being patriotic.
00:03:57.760...new details about some of what's going on behind the scenes with Canada-U.S. trade talk.
00:04:03.360Sources tell us the federal government is prepared to make concessions, including asking provinces to put U.S. booze back on the shelf,
00:04:10.480but only if the Americans meet some of Canada's demands.
00:04:14.420Earlier in the show, we asked Ontario Finan...
00:04:16.380By the way, do you know what those demands are?
00:04:18.620Our concessions are in favour of basically nothing.
00:04:21.760We're going to make concessions on supply management, which I don't like anyways, but use it as a bargaining chip.
00:04:26.980we're going to get rid of it we're going to like reduce some of our retaliatory tariffs on autos
00:04:32.180and all that in exchange for the americans just simply not increasing tariffs so we are effectively
00:04:37.140embracing the current awful status quo because carney was too flat-footed to actually try and
00:04:42.960challenge the tariff situation a year and a half ago when he first became prime minister
00:04:47.680and now now we're like we're having to give up the booze thing as well which is going to cause
00:04:53.000a fight between Kearney and the premiers who had invested all of their political capital in puffing
00:04:58.440out their chests against Donald Trump and saying, I'm taking the bourbon off the shelf.
00:05:02.160Finance minister about that. Our resolve is firm to keep U.S. liquor off the shelves until we see
00:05:09.320the details of a comprehensive deal. We want to see that and then of course we'll come to the
00:05:14.860table and give the response. The office of the Quebec premier also put out a reaction saying
00:05:21.440the removal of U.S. products from the SAQ shelves will remain in effect until an agreement that we
00:05:27.160deem fair has been negotiated. The sale of alcohol falls exclusively under the jurisdiction of the
00:05:32.720government of Quebec. It is Quebec and Quebec alone that will make this decision. Time now for
00:05:38.460the power panel, John. So this doesn't bode well for Prime Minister Mark Carney. The fact that he
00:05:43.620is jumping so quickly to make these concessions for very little makes it seem as if Carney,
00:05:48.720at least in his desperate state feels like this is all he can actually get and feels pushed into
00:05:54.780the corner probably by economic factors that we are not privy to yet that unless he makes this
00:06:00.360deal things are just going to go hog wild in a bad way by the time august 31st rolls around and
00:06:06.560the new tariffs are applied to us and then we have all these premiers basically acting like well you
00:06:11.320know carny can't push me around i'm gonna be elbows up if i want to and the whole thing is0.97
00:06:16.100just garbage the booze ban was stupid in the first place if you want to use it as leverage they took0.97
00:06:21.780way too long to actually use it because they allowed the american liquor industry who was hurt0.99
00:06:27.260by this but they allowed them an entire year of basically getting used to it which allowed them
00:06:33.040to probably find other markets to ship their stuff to they're probably still not making as much money
00:06:37.640as they could but that's the problem if you let something become the status quo for too long they
00:06:42.120get used to it and it was never a big enough jab in the first place but now we may end up having
00:06:46.520an open war between carney the quebec premier doug ford david eby wab canoe and whoever the premier
00:06:54.520of new brunswick is and some of the other premiers in order to basically because carney is betraying
00:07:00.720the elbows up coalition that they're all part of it's gonna be very funny to watch this i think
00:07:06.060halis was a quebec advisor to former prime minister justin trudeau jenny roth is a former
00:07:10.860conservative campaign strategist. And Marika Walsh is a senior political reporter in the Globe
00:07:15.960and Mail's Ottawa Bureau. Jono, I'm going to start with you. What do you make of what we may see from
00:07:21.760the provinces, that statement there from the Premier of Quebec's office? Is this going to be
00:07:28.460a major obstacle if the Canadians say to the Americans, okay, we'll lift the ban, but the
00:07:32.840provinces might not be on board? Do you think there's an election coming up in Quebec with
00:07:38.500that statement and the way the last two sentences are there about how it's up to Quebec. It's
00:07:43.120Quebec's jurisdiction and they're the ones who are going to decide. What kind of comment is that?
00:07:47.580Like that is like the most limp thing he could say right now. He's trying to take a shot at the
00:07:52.900Quebec premier when the real problem here is Prime Minister Mark Carney. All of this is only
00:07:59.020happening in part because Carney had endorsed these actions last year. Now he'd become a little
00:08:04.780more mum on it recently probably because he knew he was going to give it up but he's trying to go
00:08:09.280after the Quebec premier I've I have not studied her naming enough because she's brand new after
00:08:13.720taking over for Legault but like really oh can you tell an election's coming up as if like look0.98
00:08:19.920at her playing cynical politics what do you think elbows up was moron that was cynical politics to0.98
00:08:26.780win votes what oh it's now it's bad because it's going in the opposite direction of Mark Carney0.99
00:08:31.700the elbow don't the elbows up base and realize that mark carney's trying to keep his approval
00:08:35.680ratings up and he needs all of the premiers to betray the elbows up base along with him
00:08:40.620like oh my goodness guys they've been gaslighting this group of elbows up voters for a year and a
00:08:46.220half and now when carney's trying to bail over the side of the ship a bunch of the premiers are
00:08:50.280like not letting him leave it's hilarious i mean it's pretty standard but uh you could tell the
00:08:57.240sort of upping the ante um i'm kind of i would say i'm not particularly surprised by any of
00:09:03.400what we're hearing is being negotiated it sort of stands sounds reasonable in terms of
00:09:09.520it was never going to be a perfect deal
00:09:11.640that's what he promised he promised a perfect deal whatever we talk about oh i'm not surprised
00:09:22.520by any of this why aren't you blowing the horn like a year ago saying that all this elbows up
00:09:26.920stuff as nonsense because we're not going to get a perfect deal anyways, so let's make some
00:09:30.860concessions now when the concessions may actually be considered more substantial bargaining chips
00:09:35.920and we can get to zero tariffs. I've said it before, Trump views Mark Carney like a broken
00:09:41.700vending machine. Every time he kicks it, he gets something out of it, and that's something that
00:09:45.620he's only learned over time. If we had actually played hardball early on but moved quickly to
00:09:51.880try and get to a negotiated deal, we could have actually probably gotten a lot without having to
00:09:56.040give up a lot. And those things we gave up, at least if you're conservative, you'd probably be
00:10:00.200happy to get rid of anyways. But now he's trying to like enter the room and be like, oh no, I always
00:10:04.960knew that this was going on the entire time. Oh, absolutely. This was always inevitable. We weren't
00:10:09.000going to get a perfect deal. Okay. Well, Carney promised a great deal, that a good deal wasn't
00:10:14.280good enough, that, you know, we're not going to sign a bad deal that's not better than what we
00:10:18.940had pre-tariff. It's like, okay, okay, that's a fine goal. How are you going to get to it? Because
00:10:24.440you've been sitting around on your butt for a year and a half pretending like trump was just0.99
00:10:28.720gonna like run up to you get on his knees and be like oh my goodness i'm gonna remove the tariffs0.99
00:10:33.080and give you back i'm gonna give you 100 billion dollars as compensation i'm so sorry like that
00:10:37.960seemed to be like the actual thematic like way the liberals had kind of thought of all this
00:10:43.140unless you're laura babcock and charlie angus where secretly they always just wanted to not
00:10:46.900trade with the u.s and the tariffs were a great excuse i don't like the tariffs trump was wrong
00:11:15.280like screaming about how we wish we had different cards
00:11:17.340and we're allowing the game to go on and on and on.
00:11:20.000we haven't played a single one and then we start playing like a year and a half later and it turns
00:11:24.100out we're not very well set up to winning the game anymore there was going to be give and take
00:11:28.640we don't really know what this will look like you know this i trust the sourcing of the stories but
00:11:34.640we don't know what a final deal will actually look like we just actually he's sitting on the channel
00:11:39.520that followed up on the globe and mails reporting and found out it was basically just to avoid
00:11:44.140further tariffs that's it we're not reducing any current tariffs if we reduced any i really doubt
00:11:49.840it's going to be anything substantial in for what we're giving up in exchange you use your
00:11:55.240concessions as chips to get other chips from your opponent but we keep giving them chips for either
00:12:00.280nothing or for so that for not for like effectively nothing like we're avoiding some future that has
00:12:06.720not happened yet and we're we're sacrificing game pieces for it you know these are things that are
00:12:11.920on the table that are you know open for discussion how far and how wide it goes i i think we're still
00:12:17.680far away from that. And, you know, Brian Cloud said at the beginning, he's not he's not going
00:12:21.560to bet on actually a deal before the deadline. So, you know, I think this is demonstration that
00:12:28.160there is some movement. But on the other hand, this is also, I think, preparing Canadians for
00:12:33.560the fact that we're not going to go back to where we were a year and a half ago, where there were
00:12:37.300no tariffs at all. This is again, no liberals promise to try and get to zero tariffs. That was
00:12:45.020the big promise that launched them back into office in 2025 and he's basically saying the
00:12:51.960quiet part out loud we are now having to prepare all the elbows up Canadians not all Canadians
00:12:56.640conservative Canadians have been very sober-minded about this the entire time that you may not get a
00:13:01.640perfect deal that negotiating a deal is the only way to negotiate a deal you can't sit around
00:13:07.180hoping that one's going to land in your lap but now the liberal Canadians the NDP voters and many
00:13:12.280of the Bloc Capicova voters are having to be prepared for the disappointment that's coming
00:13:17.000because they have been fed lies for the past year and a half by Mark Carney and his team.
00:13:23.140Sort of an interim step and we'll see where things go.
00:13:27.640Ginny, one thing that Pierre Pauly of the Conservative leader had flagged earlier this
00:13:32.860week is that he is concerned that Canada has given up, made too many concessions and that
00:13:37.360it was whittling away its sort of bargaining power. Do you think that the reporting that
00:13:41.260we've learned today that that perhaps that might be something that he'll he'll sort of seize on as
00:13:46.220as he criticizes how he's gonna seize on it i always hate when they cover stuff this way it's
00:13:51.320that thing you sometimes hear in america oh it's the republicans pounce narrative oh are is poly0.81
00:13:56.700going to seize on this is he going to jump on the story and exploit it for his own disgusting
00:14:02.680political aims it's like no yes being correct is a way of seizing on the political moment you know
00:14:10.800telling the truth being right well ahead of time that tends to do you know good things for you in0.73
00:14:16.600politics but she had to frame it katie simpson here is paulia going to seize on this thing is0.96
00:14:22.060he going to seize it around the neck and choke the life out of it and kill a small child in because0.97
00:14:27.060of this this new development is he going to wrap his hands around the canadian around the neck of0.99
00:14:33.620canada because of what's going on like i hate the language they use it's always the implication of
00:14:39.060sleaziness on behalf of conservatives for being good at politics we basically and that's that
00:14:43.920heavily reduces the effectiveness of conservatives in canadian politics when the media spends
00:14:49.060everything they do right as some sleazy political maneuvering the government's handled the canada
00:14:54.940u.s relationship i think so i mean jano gets at the challenge for all the politicians involved
00:15:01.200um the politics is very different from the reality and that challenge is much worse for
00:15:05.540prime minister these premiers get to whether they have an election soon or an election down the
00:15:10.180road they get to make this entirely political because they're not the ones that have to do the
00:15:13.700deal and they love the politics of playing tough um the prime minister loved the politics of playing
00:15:19.300tough during election campaign um but now that he actually has to come up with a deal he that
00:15:23.300doesn't work for him right he has to compromise um so i'm glad to see it i think it's good i think
00:15:28.420there need to be compromises but i think he eroded that position when he was doing all that theater
00:15:33.300for all those many many months um in the lead to becoming prime minister and then ultimately through
00:15:37.540the campaign and that now that he's since prime minister and i think that's going to be the point
00:15:40.420that pauliev's going to try to make is you can't have it both ways you can't you can't say your
00:15:44.740elbows up get the political theater get the political benefit and then also be the person
00:15:48.900that's that's um that's compromising you know not included in this reporting because it happened
00:15:54.100earlier maybe it was but not as part of the deal was coming up on the dst um uh you know all these
00:16:01.220sort of uh concessions that we that uh the prime minister made up to this point where we heard
00:16:06.500oh maybe we're going to get a deal now um the americans have asked for this we're going to do
00:16:10.500it those concessions already happened we can't get those back and now we have fewer and fewer
00:16:14.580and i i remember the media previously saying well in the gordy hill bridge thing and the streaming
00:16:19.300tax and all these things oh well you know what's his name uh jameson greer the u.s trade
00:16:25.220representative oh he's so mean for saying on on a panel that canada doesn't get any you know bonuses
00:16:31.620or benefits for those previous concessions that we made that's so mean and it's like it's the
00:16:36.260prime minister's job to make sure a concession that he makes gets a counter concession in return
00:16:42.180we they get something but we get something too that's what that's the law you could have laid
00:16:46.900down with trump at the beginning that's how you play tough while also being pliable enough he
00:16:51.300he wants to work with you okay hey you want to win trump you want to get a you want to get some
00:16:57.000trade wins before the midterm election so you will have the republicans get republicans getting
00:17:01.360re-elected in the house in the senate well i need a win too because you need to be able to figure
00:17:06.300out a way of getting allowing me to get to zero tariffs and you need to figure out something i
00:17:10.840will give you something and you have to be able to figure out how you can declare victory over it
00:17:14.680that's what we should have been doing but to it the elbows up thing needed trump to lose because
00:17:20.200liberals hate him so much they couldn't allow for trump to declare victory on anything that goes on
00:17:25.640in the trade negotiations that has been the toxic element throughout the entire thing we haven't
00:17:30.580been showing up to trade meetings that like mexico is going to because the liberals can't make it
00:17:35.840look like the trump administration is legitimate they can't legitimize them by showing up when the
00:17:41.360when the trump administration wants them to come over because the liberal base is too in the mindset
00:17:46.900that no, screw them. We shouldn't talk to them. Canadians aren't vacationing down the United
00:17:51.480States. So we're not even going to show up to the trade negotiations going on in D.C. along with
00:17:56.280Mexico. But Mexico has been getting a lot of what it wants. They're actually ending the trade issue
00:18:01.180faster for themselves because Claudia Scheinbaum has been directly negotiating and playing hardball.1.00
00:18:07.380Things on the table to play around with. And we know that the PM doesn't want to move really far0.98
00:18:13.100supply management so maybe he's willing to make some tweaks so i'm curious to see what what what
00:18:18.220is beyond the reporting that we've already seen because we also know that the president uh drives
00:18:22.700a hard bargain and he's not likely to settle for sort of going back to the status quo uh marie k
00:18:27.260it was the globe and mail that first broke this story this morning um i'm just wondering what
00:18:30.940stood out to you from the beer the the reporting that your team has done on this as well well we
00:18:36.060we have more reporting and updates coming tonight and i think what stands out to me
00:18:39.900is that, as Janine and Jono mentioned, the Prime Minister will have to make concessions in this,
00:18:45.700and it wasn't part of his branding coming into office. And public opinion polling shows it's
00:18:50.620not where Canadians are. The Prime Minister's office has not done a lot of groundwork laying
00:18:54.700in terms of setting expectations for Canadians in terms of the concessions and the possibility
00:18:59.420for pain as part of this deal. And by the way, we've actually already discussed this on the show
00:19:04.940when in an abacus data poll we had found we found that they do their issue polling where people
00:19:10.000choose their top three issues and then it shows the percentage of people on each of those issues
00:19:14.040who include it in their top three back when the conservatives were actually starting to lead in
00:19:18.580the polls again around september october november of 2025 that's when the trump and his administration
00:19:25.860issue in the abacus polling issue in the abacus polls had fallen down to about 22 percent of
00:19:31.240Canadians put it in their top three. Right now, it's 37%. The last time it was that high was in
00:19:38.300early 2026, when the Liberals jumped up by, they were 12 points ahead in the Abacus data poll.
00:19:45.040Now they're only ahead six, despite the fact that 37% of people put Trump as one of their top three
00:19:51.440issues, and the Liberals were plus 12 back when it was about 39%. So it's pretty similar, and yet
00:19:57.740the liberals are no longer seeing the benefit. And that was back just with the news of the Gordie
00:20:02.680Howe Bridge. Now add the complete surrender on the streaming tax, and now this concessions for
00:20:07.760effectively nothing, it's going to get even worse. It doesn't matter if Trump and his administration
00:20:12.860keep going up in the polls as an issue, the liberals are no longer the default choice
00:20:18.360for the party that you want to handle Trump. It has been very close to the chest what that
00:20:25.860means. And so that leaves, I think, Canadians in the dark. And it leaves a question for me
00:20:29.600politically as to how they now sell this to Canadians. But one of the things we're starting
00:20:34.580to hear is that a baseline across the board tariff is part of the talks on the broader USMCA.
00:20:40.720I'm sure that doesn't come to you as a surprise, Katie. But the fact that people are now acknowledging
00:20:45.040that, I think, is really significant. Now, I don't even think we necessarily have to accept that.
00:20:50.120We only have to accept that in the world where Mark Carney messed everything up and didn't use
00:20:54.840early leverage in order to get something. He had gone to the White House and sat in the old office
00:20:59.660twice, and he didn't use that. He didn't use that moment to say, you know what, Trump in front of
00:21:04.480the cameras right here, can we get to zero? Can we do it? We're partners. How about let's figure
00:21:09.500this thing out? You know, like the thing is that I'm not going to stay reasonable for very long.
00:21:14.080If this doesn't take me too long, maybe I'll just start going and trading with China or the Europe,
00:21:17.860and I'll do something else, and I'll just take the pain because this is too hard to deal with.
00:21:21.020He had never used any moment he had to play tough, to become more friendly, to try and make some concessions for things in return.
00:21:30.160He just wasted everything, and that's why we're at the situation we're in.
00:21:34.040And it's funny seeing all the media talking heads, except for conservatives like Ginny Roth, now acknowledging, well, you know, this is always going to happen.
00:21:41.660Again, you guys attacked Jamil Javani.
00:22:01.280But we are hearing more and more from Canadian officials that some form of tariff is going to be here to stay.
00:22:08.060Yeah, so our reporting also has that American officials, they expressly said to the Canadians, as long as Donald Trump is the president, there will be some kind of tariff that is involved here.
00:22:22.380Right now, we understand it to be around the 232 tariffs and the steel and aluminum.
00:22:28.020But the question is, can the Canadian team get those lowered?
00:22:31.520Our reporting has been through industry sources that the Canadians want to be able to go out there publicly and say, we have the best market access to the Americans.
00:22:44.080We have the best market access to the Americans regardless.
00:22:53.040We want to be able to go out there and say we have the best market access.
00:22:55.700like oh yeah i can't believe canada beat out the congo for market access with the united states i0.73
00:23:02.740can't believe we beat out sweden for market access to the united states it's so dumb i thought we0.79
00:23:07.900still had the best trade deal with the americans as carney kept saying making excuses for why he
00:23:13.300wasn't working hard to try and negotiate a trade deal with the americans ah it can be put off till
00:23:17.380later you know who cares it's no big deal because we already have the best deal still now some
00:23:24.040liberals are really not taking this very well. Here's Andrew Coyne on CBC trying to basically
00:23:32.400fabricate, or I think it's somewhere else, but he's trying to fabricate a conspiracy theory now
00:23:38.320for why these concessions are being made and why the news is going around the media. Check this out.
00:23:46.480Well, I've been trying to rack my brains about this. And, you know, anytime you see a story where
00:23:50.340If something is revealed from inside, the first question is, why does somebody want this to be revealed?
00:23:55.440So the fact that there's this story now in the globe about how we're about to make all these concessions, you start to wonder.
00:24:02.500And so this may veer into the realm of conspiracy theory, but could one reason be you leak that you're going to make concessions so as to firm up Canadian public opinion against the concessions?
00:24:15.060maybe you want to show the americans uh i actually don't have a lot of room to negotiate here uh if
00:24:21.640you're asking for these concessions look at the reaction i'm getting in my from my canadian public
00:24:25.640is he delusional this is the weirdest conspiracy theory ever somebody has leaked this now to the
00:24:33.320press to show donald trump that like canadians are like the realms of rohan and we will not stand we
00:24:39.740will not bow to the forces of mordor that you represent so you better give us something for
00:24:44.920nothing. And it's like, oh, this man is published in the Globe and Mail Weekly. This man is paid
00:24:51.860to be on CBC news panels. Oh, no. Oh, no. This man is allowed to speak in public. He's paid for
00:24:59.180his opinions. Oh, no. I can't necessarily do that. So that's one possibility. Second possibility is
00:25:05.120you're setting up the talks to fail, but you want to look like you're the ones who were prepared to
00:25:10.440go the extra mile you were being reasonable you were making concessions and it was only because
00:25:15.200of the intransigence and then you know irrationality the other side that you weren't able to come to a
00:25:19.260deal why have we been making concessions for nothing in return up to this point andrew like
00:25:23.820can you can your political theory actually try and cover the reality that's actually occurring
00:25:28.900so there may be an effort there uh um maybe it's designed to try to shape public opinion
00:25:36.000uh in the united states in the run-up to this uh to these um uh to these midterms you know the
00:25:43.120the maga people and trump in particular are going to great lengths to try to to present
00:25:48.400canada canada and canadians of all people as the bad guys uh so you saw this eruption from trump
00:25:54.000about how nasty we are which i think a lot of canadians i think it was nasty five times in a
00:25:59.600row entered nasty nasty nasty i don't as i say i think in their current mood a lot of canadians
00:26:06.460wouldn't mind being thought of as as nasty by by donald trump and that's really what it is there's
00:26:12.320a lot of people out there who carney has been playing to for a long time who just want to feel
00:26:17.400like rebels with a cause we want to run it we're we're here to fight back against donald trump and
00:26:23.540we're doing it one bottle of Canadian club at a time instead of drinking Jack Daniels? It's like,
00:26:30.560okay, man, I don't like the tariffs. But I also don't want to just pump my fist in the air and
00:26:36.420be like, man, we're standing up against the big orange bad man. How about we try and get a good0.76
00:26:41.580deal and, you know, stand up for Canadians? How about we try and do that? Rather than standing
00:26:46.460up against Donald Trump, how about we do something for Canadians? Because that's really what's going
00:26:50.100on here, is we have a bunch of people who could care less about what happens to Canadians. They
00:26:54.980just want to stand up to Donald Trump. Now, I liked the response Chevalier Majumdar, the
00:27:00.660conservative Canada-U.S. trade critic, had put above Pierre Polyev's message that we had read
00:27:06.980earlier. He said, Prime Minister Mark Carney, we proposed a plan to actually and objectively
00:27:12.300strengthen Canadian economic and national security to negotiate with Washington and the world.
00:27:18.340a good and comprehensive deal for our people a country that is that is strong at home for
00:27:24.020unbreakable leverage abroad Canadians deserve a government that has the backbone to fight for
00:27:29.200our workers our families and every inch of our sovereignty take our plan take the credit just
00:27:33.520deliver and I think this is good messaging that the that the conservatives and I've been
00:27:37.620complimenting them on this since they kind of changed their trade messaging around like March
00:27:42.660or april or so where car or now poly of is being the backseat driver intentionally to kind of get
00:27:50.180under the skin of mark carney basically saying hey why are you why are you doing that how do you try
00:27:54.200doing this oh well you know you you know you shouldn't be making that concession you should
00:27:57.920be doing that just constantly give him ideas because he doesn't want the ideas but but just
00:28:03.920by constantly acting helpful you can basically point out how much he's screwing things up in a
00:28:08.300friendly tone so that some of his base might actually think well you know that's actually
00:28:11.940a pretty good idea, Mark. Why don't you listen to Piripolyev? And they'll get frustrated as Carney
00:28:16.040keeps doing the opposite of the reasonable ideas that Piripolyev is putting out into the media.
00:28:21.420Now, I also want to, now here's another thing that Chavloy had posted yesterday over the clip
00:28:27.900of that CBC, over a clip that came out of that CBC panel that we had just watched. Chavloy says
00:28:34.760concessions because he failed to define the terms for North America as conservatives recommended.
00:28:40.420the politics of playing tough at the expense of building actual strength as conservatives
00:28:44.820recommended having negotiated for a weakness and wasted a year and a half the cost of two
00:28:50.040Canadians of Prime Minister Mark Carney's side adventures are now being laid bare and like what
00:28:55.400were those side adventures it was going to Indonesia and literally like talking to the
00:29:00.340Prime Minister of Luxembourg and Benin to try and get trade deals with them improve relations with
00:29:06.260luxembourg because that's going to replace the americans that was so funny the other day they
00:29:11.360had actually announced on their own website that our foreign affairs minister anita anon has a new
00:29:17.400trade deal signed with benin and all we have to do is send an ambassador and a team for a consulate
00:29:23.780in a country that we only have exports to to the tune of 77 million dollars like the the consulate
00:29:32.240alone the ambassadors and the staff might end up eating up like a quarter of that money absolutely1.00
00:29:38.380ridiculous that we ended up signing anything with them it's not bad but it's such a stupid0.98
00:29:43.040consolation prize when we're not negotiating with the americans when other countries have proven0.99
00:29:47.620you can get a lot out of dealing with them directly but carney is terrified of trump0.99
00:29:51.800because trump's some stupid bore and i'm mr sophisticated and so mr sophisticated doesn't0.98
00:29:57.940want to look like he got played by Donald Trump in any way why do you think he's in Italy he wants1.00
00:30:03.020to distance himself from the crap that is currently going down no Andrew Coyne this is not some sort0.95
00:30:09.480of conspiracy to turn Canadians even more against Trump and then break Trump's will like he's the0.98
00:30:15.380king at the end of Braveheart who dies in his bed after hearing Mel Gibson yell freedom or whatever
00:30:21.520that's not going to happen here but uh i want to now jump over to some of the things that we are
00:30:28.080seeing from the elbows up liberals i find it very telling none of them have really commented
00:30:33.840on the concessions past slight insinuations that they maybe don't like this because they've been
00:30:39.600trained to not like this laura babcock here says u.s booze back on the shelves canadians say hell
00:30:45.740no should be doubling down on the boycott it's time to give trump and hoagster concessions
00:30:51.160it's no time to give trump and hoagster concessions also has the u.s invaded green
00:30:56.100invasion of greenland started now now she's saying that like probably a little tongue-in-cheek of0.94
00:31:01.360like oh the u.s is so pathetic they haven't invaded greenland and denmark it's like0.69
00:31:05.480because they never want to do that i'm sorry laura to break your heart but trump is actually0.97
00:31:10.440not evil like you think he is i don't agree with everything he does but he's not like
00:31:15.260the cartoon character you think he is here is a liberal i haven't checked in with uh for a while
00:31:20.540uh this liberal shul vicky campbell has had me blocked for like two years at this point
00:31:25.040i've noticed even though she usually tweeted tweeted a lot over the past day or two it's
00:31:32.580kind of trickled and she's not posting very much about the current trade situation lots of shots
00:31:39.700the americans here and there and posting like democrat propaganda you know anti-trump stuff
00:31:45.260no no posts about the trade concessions that's very curious oh wow it's very very strange that
00:31:51.920she's not celebrating the great deal that mark carney is negotiating here's another one peter
00:31:57.420radcliffe forever canadian unlike his hair he is forever uh peter radcliffe you go down here and
00:32:03.600it's like he says if the u.s a company or government has landed equipment on greenland
00:32:09.100without proper approvals then greenland denmark should dispatch military to seize the illegal
00:32:13.580contraband immediately and arrest the smugglers the u.s is actually allowed to move military
00:32:19.140equipment onto greenland whenever they want that's actually always been the funny thing about trump
00:32:23.200kind of making slight jabs at greenland about how we should just take it over is that the u.s has
00:32:28.400always been allowed to basically build military bases wherever they want with a little bit of
00:32:32.220permission which really doesn't matter all that much they just kind of have open permission
00:32:35.900anyways but i go down here and it's like 11 hours ago and he's trying to you know promote all the
00:32:42.780jobs mark carney has supposedly created how great it is uh reposting stefano barris here showing
00:32:49.360this insane ecos poll being modeled out that's not even close to reality you know just sharing a lot0.92
00:32:55.280of stuff about how the u.s sucks and how conservative suck nothing not actually about0.90
00:33:01.240nothing here about actually like the the current trade deal although he did share this globe and0.96
00:33:06.700mail article from the 6th that kind of contradicts what's going on right now where it says carny not
00:33:11.060interested in narrow u.s trade deal okay um well apparently we're not getting a narrow one we're
00:33:17.860getting a microscopic one we'll need a magnifying glass to figure out what we actually got after all
00:33:23.160of this it's so funny all these people who are now avoiding the fact that we clearly are not
00:33:28.740getting anything out of this. Check out this chart. I've actually gotten into it with this
00:33:33.480guy a couple of times. I find he can be a bit curmudgeon against more orthodox conservatives,
00:33:38.020but he's definitely not a liberal. Ron Butler here. I liked this chart he posted. This was
00:33:44.880about the jobs report, and it's kind of what I was saying on the show, even though I didn't have all
00:33:48.680the information. Just from the passive following of the issue over time, I kind of knew that all
00:33:54.140the celebrations of the job numbers were kind of fake. Ron Butler here says, let's not be fooled
00:33:58.720by the headlines of job reports. There is a boom in two provinces. It's largely resource-based and
00:34:04.440well-deserved by two provinces the Trudeau government looked down on for 10 years.
00:34:09.120However, the rest of Canada job creation is as crappy as we feel it is. And this is cumulative
00:34:15.480employment growth since January 2025. By the way, that's already when jobs were a little bit
00:34:22.100depressed because some of the trade threats and some of like Trump's sort of like what was going
00:34:26.800on with Trump coming into office. That stuff was already kind of affecting the Canadian economy a
00:34:31.000little bit negatively. But since January of 2025, Alberta and Saskatchewan have had accumulated job
00:34:40.240growth of 2.6% when combined. 2.6% average job growth in those two provinces. The rest of Canada,
00:34:48.660not including Alberta and Saskatchewan, have had 0.1% job growth. This is what I have been saying.
00:34:55.700When you see 75,000 jobs created and, oh, look, a lot of them are in Quebec and British Columbia, it's subsidy jobs. It's subsidy jobs trying to get some of the jobs back that we had lost. We're not getting any new jobs. We're simply digging out of the hole that we have been in because Carney refused to negotiate a trade deal.
00:35:12.500But the media was just like, oh my goodness, he's so amazing. I can't believe all the great things that Carninomics is doing for this country. I'm so jazzed up for the future now. And we've basically been just sitting in neutral since he became prime minister. It's ridiculous.
00:35:27.620He benefited massively from the fact that right when he became prime minister, that's right when a big hit to our job market happened.
00:35:34.760So right after that, any recovery, he can make it look like massive growth when we're just getting the jobs back that we used to have.
00:35:41.620We have had slight job growth since January 2025, and all of it is pretty much concentrated in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
00:35:49.640In fact, that's where a lot of good things are concentrated.
00:35:53.020Reductions in drug deaths, reductions in crime, job growth, like, you know, actual homeownership.
00:36:00.620All of it's in Alberta, pretty much. Alberta and, to a lesser extent, Saskatchewan.
00:36:05.340Anyways, well, that should be it for this video, guys.
