Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.000
Recently, it's felt like the tables have turned, at least rhetorically,
00:00:10.540
between Pierre Polyev's conservatives and Mark Carney's liberals. For a while,
00:00:15.980
it felt like the Polyev conservatives were very listless in their messaging,
00:00:20.240
like they weren't willing to aggressively take on the liberals. They would criticize
00:00:24.500
things the liberals were doing or not doing, but they wouldn't offer a bold vision of what could
00:00:30.760
be done if they were in charge, and I think that it was feeling a bit shallow to the Canadian public.
00:00:36.860
But after Polyev did a messaging reset on U.S.-Canada trade, I think he is regaining his
00:00:42.760
footing, and he's actually out in Europe right now touring around demonstrating he can do a better
00:00:48.120
job at prime minister than Mark Carney can. And now Mark Carney is running away from his
00:00:54.480
own statement on Iran, realizing that his own party's base is full of a bunch of anti-American
00:01:00.380
radicals who can't even stand Carney congratulating Trump for the successful strikes on an Islamic
00:01:07.060
theocracy in the Middle East. That is where we are at right now in Canadian politics, at least on the
00:01:13.340
liberal side. You will literally have to side with an Islamic theocracy because your own base hates
00:01:19.360
Donald Trump that much. It's absolutely insane, but this is the country that we currently live in.
00:01:25.220
In just a second here, I want to take you guys to the clip of Mark Carney running away from his
00:01:30.540
own statement, and then I want to talk about some of the polling numbers that back up why Carney
00:01:35.700
probably did this, and also his electoral strategy going into some of these upcoming by-elections.
00:01:42.180
But before we get into that, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the show,

00:02:05.760
algorithm for income. I also want to apologize, I did that notification about a Nanaimo 1BC event
00:02:13.460
that happened yesterday. The event happened, it was fantastic, it was a packed house, but I think I
00:02:18.880
notified people so late that if you signed up, you probably didn't actually get the email about where
00:02:23.960
the location was, because it went out before that. If I confused you yesterday, mea culpa, I apologize,
00:02:30.440
although maybe it's probably good that you wouldn't have been able to come, because it was actually
00:02:34.320
such a packed house, I think we would have hit fire code. There were some crazy protesters there that
00:02:38.740
my friend Kat Kanda ended up filming, I will make a video on that and our previous event at some point,
00:02:44.500
because it's fun to talk about. Check out 1BC if you live in British Columbia, by the way.
00:02:49.300
But now, let's get to the man of the hour, and that is Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney,
00:02:54.260
running away from what was his kind of good statement on Iran previously. Maybe let's not
00:02:59.380
even get into the statement yet, but we will be getting into it in just a second. I first want to
00:03:03.840
start off with what he had originally posted, because this statement was perfectly fine. I
00:03:10.520
actually gave him some kudos for this, that he didn't do what he had previously done when Donald
00:03:15.440
Trump had begged the dictator of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro. He had made some ridiculous statement about
00:03:21.440
international law and all that stuff. It's like, oh my goodness, who cares? Maduro doesn't recognize
00:03:26.240
international law. International law doesn't even exist, by the way. It's just a suggestion based on some
00:03:32.020
corrupt international body like the United Nations. It doesn't have any force or effect.
00:03:36.980
But in the Iran statement, he actually just flat out said, this is good because the Ayatollah
00:03:41.900
and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,
00:03:46.800
the Islamic government in Iran sucks, and so I'm happy to see it. It was a fine statement.
00:03:52.180
The Canadian government is closely following the Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East
00:03:57.060
and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow
00:04:02.240
local advice and take all necessary precautions. Canada's position remains clear. The Islamic Republic
00:04:08.140
of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East and has one of the
00:04:12.480
worst human rights records and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons. Canada
00:04:17.860
and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program,
00:04:24.100
including at the 2025 G7 Leaders Summit in Kananaskis, and with the United Nations re-imposition of
00:04:32.380
sanctions in September. Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program,
00:04:38.520
halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terror proxies, groups.
00:04:43.880
Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against the Iranian,
00:04:48.060
Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity,
00:04:53.080
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You get the whole point. They're sanctioning individuals,
00:04:56.900
they're doing all this stuff like listing the IRGC as a terrorist group, which literally took them
00:05:01.760
years to do. It's embarrassing how long it took them to finally list an obvious terror organization
00:05:07.840
as a terrorist organization. So that was a fine statement, but a bunch of radical crazy people gave
00:05:14.780
Mark Carney pushback, and he couldn't handle the pushback, and that is why we now have this answer
00:05:20.380
to a question from Mark Carney at a press conference.
00:05:24.200
The United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies,
00:05:32.560
Who cares? Like, genuinely, who cares? What's Canada going to do? This is like going back to his terrible
00:05:38.380
Maduro statement. Oh, we need more multilateral discussion. Why? What's Canada going to do?
00:05:44.620
I'm Canadian. I'm a patriotic Canadian. I also know that we basically have nothing to do with
00:05:49.460
the situation. We should support them for moral reasons, but what was Canada going to contribute
00:05:54.680
to the situation? What, we're going to tell them how to not do anything? I'm pretty sure that the
00:05:59.820
United States knows that not doing anything doesn't get anything done, because that seems to be
00:06:03.500
Carney's signature move on foreign policy so far. But I'll let him continue.
00:06:07.840
No, it doesn't. It's quite literally non-binding. Binding would imply that somehow someone could
00:06:26.860
enforce it against you. You made a violation, well, the law is going to be enforced against you.
00:06:31.520
It's non-binding. It's all a bunch of random garbage. The UN is not going to send a force in
00:06:37.540
there to say, hey, United States, you better stop. The UN basically is completely worthless. All they
00:06:42.240
do is basically act as a mouthpiece for dictators and communists and Islamists.
00:06:47.380
We condemn the strikes carried out by Iran on civilians and civilian infrastructure across the
00:06:53.460
Middle East. And we implore all parties, including the United States and Israel, to respect the rules
00:06:59.080
of international engagement. Canada calls for a rapid de-escalation of hostilities and is prepared
00:07:06.980
Oh, we're going to assist. How are we going to assist? Mark, what are we going to do?
00:07:13.280
Show up with our troops who can't even march in formation? My goodness. It's so dumb. This is what,
00:07:21.340
if, this is how to sound like an idiot on foreign policy. They should de-escalate. Perfect impression.
00:07:28.240
That's what everyone who doesn't know what they're talking about in foreign policy always says.
00:07:31.120
Oh, we need de-escalation right now. Oh, we need to, the US and Israel need to respect international
00:07:38.060
law. Iran just killed 30,000 of their own people. Apparently, Mark Carney would be the guy that when
00:07:44.580
Vietnam went into Cambodia to stop the Khmer Rouge from killing everyone, they would have been saying,
00:07:49.620
hey, you guys didn't clear this through the UN first. You guys should have cleared it through the
00:07:54.000
UN who literally has allies of Pol Pot on it. Oh, you can't go into Iran. You haven't gotten sign
00:08:00.940
off from the United Nations who has China and Russia on the Security Council who can veto anything you
00:08:06.000
want to do. It's almost like we should just ignore them. We should fully defund the UN. They're
00:08:10.580
completely worthless. But this is a pathetic statement to please, to please idiots quite literally
00:08:17.720
like Laura Babcock and Dean Blindell. See, here's Laura Babcock reacting to this statement.
00:08:24.480
She says, glad Prime Minister Carney updated his view. So she's directly saying that she was not
00:08:32.640
pleased with him before, but now she's okay with it. Pathetic. Pathetic that you want your own
00:08:38.280
government to basically cry and rend their garments on behalf of a theocratic dictatorship.
00:08:45.180
Here we have Dean Blindell, who's actually still mad at Mark Carney, and he says, too little,
00:08:51.000
too late. I like Mark, but he booted this with his supportive announcement. Wow. No good deed goes
00:08:57.640
unpunished on the left side of Canadian politics. Now I want to show you guys the polling because
00:09:01.780
this is wild. Tom Parkin posted this. It was from Angus Reid, the polling results. And he says,
00:09:09.380
only 17% who voted liberal a year ago join Carney in supporting Trump's Iran war. But 64% of Polyef
00:09:17.320
supporters agree with Carney. And that's the funny thing. There's some conservatives who are probably
00:09:22.040
just going to naysay whatever Carney does, but that happens with all parties. If you're the opposition
00:09:26.280
party, your supporters might just basically say they always dislike anything the government does.
00:09:31.720
There also are people out there who are very much passive on foreign policy, and they think we
00:09:36.340
should never get involved or speak out on anything. But here was the question. As you may have seen or
00:09:41.860
heard, the United States and Israel have recently carried out strikes against Iran. Do you support
00:09:46.140
or oppose these airstrikes? So it doesn't say that you support Carney supporting it, but basically,
00:09:51.240
do you support the same thing that Carney said he supported? All Canadians, 34% support. 49% oppose.
00:09:58.200
17% are not sure. With conservatives, 64% support. 24% oppose. 11% are unsure. Liberals, 17% are
00:10:06.900
supportive. And this is strongly or somewhat supportive. 69% are strongly or somewhat opposed,
00:10:14.720
and 14% don't know. My goodness, this is the party that Mark Carney has built himself. And I like
00:10:22.040
the comment from my friend Brian Breguet right here. He says, Carney doing a great job converting
00:10:28.320
conservatives. I guess his overall calculation is that he can lose some voters to the NDP and make
00:10:33.360
up for them with more conservatives. And, but the problem is there that I don't think any conservative
00:10:38.840
is actually going to be moving over for this. They're just, conservatives are just supporting what
00:10:43.860
Trump's doing because it's the right thing to do. No one's going to see Carney making that statement
00:10:47.380
and say, Oh, he's a good guy now, especially not in the aftermath, which of course, Brian didn't know
00:10:52.220
at the time that Mark Carney was going to walk it back the very next day. Like what, who does he
00:10:58.560
think he's pleasing? His original statement probably already ticked off enough people that they moved
00:11:02.860
over to the NDP and they're not going to forgive him for it. People like Dean Blundell. Now,
00:11:06.620
Laura Babcock's a ride or die and will always justify anything Carney does. I remember she never even
00:11:11.040
exactly criticized his original statement. You could tell that she probably didn't like it,
00:11:15.480
but she's also too pathetic to criticize it. But what Carney is also attempting to do here
00:11:21.400
is he's trying to make his coalition make sense and to make it set, make it make sense. He is quite
00:11:29.060
literally having to say one thing and then say the other thing at the same time. He both has to
00:11:33.440
support the Iran strikes because, well, the Persian community, the Jewish community, and pretty much
00:11:39.700
any Canadian with sense on foreign policy supports it. But the liberal party has a strong mixture,
00:11:45.480
mixture of people who are so deranged, who have such strong Trump derangement syndrome,
00:11:50.360
who are so anti-American, who are just, will nay say anything America does, that he also has to come
00:11:56.340
out and criticize Israel and America for attacking an Islamic theocracy, killing its own people.
00:12:03.400
That is where we are at. Because Carney right now, as I've made a previous video on,
00:12:07.900
is trying to run a Ontario NDP MPP, a member of provincial parliament, as his candidate to replace
00:12:16.260
Bill Blair in Scarborough. He is replacing Bill Blair with Dolly Begum, who has never issued a statement
00:12:24.220
condemning a terrorist group, but as I showed in that video, has put out several statements condemning the
00:12:30.160
United States or Israel's activities in the Middle East. Never done a clear condemnation of a terror
00:12:36.220
group, but has attacked Western powers. But now Carney basically has to figure out how to have his cake
00:12:43.660
and eat it too in every situation that happens on foreign policy. And he's basically been doing that
00:12:48.860
on the America trade deal that he's not actually been trying to get for the past year. What he does
00:12:55.000
is he promises he'll get the trade deal done, but then he'll keep making excuses why it's impossible
00:12:59.020
to get it. And he's hoping that both members of his coalition, the anti-American people who don't
00:13:04.540
want a deal, and the business liberals who do want a deal, he's hoping that neither of them notice that
00:13:09.880
he's basically playing both of them at the same time. Although he is always mainly siding with the
00:13:14.660
anti-American people, because he'll tick them off if he signs a deal. So he has to always be
00:13:19.840
pretending he's trying to get a deal signed while never actually doing it. So the biggest losers in all
00:13:24.280
of this are the business liberals who are never going to be given what they want, whereas the
00:13:28.400
anti-American liberals are always basically being given what they want, while always hesitant that
00:13:33.100
they make sure to never let Carney actually get the deal signed. Anyways, that should be it for this
