00:00:00.000 So, apparently, Prime Minister Mark Carney and the federal Liberals are uncomfortable negotiating with Donald Trump and the Americans.
00:00:08.000 But who will they negotiate with?
00:00:10.000 Well, Canada is going to try and sign a new trade deal with Turkey.
00:00:15.000 You know that country that's run by the dictator Erdogan, connected to the Muslim Brotherhood,
00:00:21.000 and which currently has affiliated terrorist groups all over the Middle East?
00:00:25.000 Middle East. Yes, we can deal with those people, but we won't talk to Donald Trump because he makes
00:00:30.800 jokes about the 51st state. Make it make sense. Really, this is a big desperation play. We obviously
00:00:38.540 cannot replace the American trade that we have lost over the last year and a half. Now, again,
00:00:44.720 I say all this stuff blaming Trump for starting the trade conflict, but I will also blame Mark
00:00:50.540 Carney for not dealing with it properly. At the end of the day, he was the one who promised he
00:00:55.840 knew how to deal with Trump. But apparently Carney, the man who knows how to deal with Donald Trump
00:01:01.580 and is an economic wizard, has been lowered to the point he is attempting to increase our trade with
00:01:07.240 Turkey to offset losses of exports to the United States. It's just not possible. We could double
00:01:15.460 our exports with many of the countries that Carney is talking to right now, and it wouldn't
00:01:20.440 matter one cent. Many of these countries don't even represent 1% of Canada's exports. China,
00:01:28.360 which is our second biggest export partner, represents, I believe, like 5%, maybe 6% these
00:01:34.540 days. The United States is 79% of our exports. And this isn't the only desperate play that the
00:01:43.220 liberals are making right now, they are also thinking of vastly increasing immigration again
00:01:48.880 in order to pump the GDP numbers, and I've been very happy to see the pure poly of conservatives
00:01:54.400 not just say, let's not increase immigration again, hold up there, let's not do this, they are saying
00:02:00.440 keep lowering it, because immigration, the extremely high immigration under Trudeau and some of it under
00:02:07.280 Mark Carney is simply papering over economic problems, and it's making affordability problems
00:02:13.280 worse. Because if you bring in too many warm bodies into the country, those warm bodies
00:02:18.580 need places to stay. And so housing prices across the country were up mainly because of just the
00:02:25.060 extremely high amount of competition in order to be able to actually rent or purchase a home
00:02:31.140 or apartment, and now we want to go back to it after we just lost 110,000 jobs in two months,
00:02:38.660 and we're probably going to lose even more at the end of October. Mark Carney has been
00:02:42.940 suspiciously absent from Parliament a lot this week. I think he was in Parliament like one day.
00:02:49.060 Actually, no, I think he was in Europe the entire time, but the man's not actually accomplishing
00:02:54.100 anything in Ottawa. He's trying to stay as far away from Canada as possible right now because he knows
00:03:00.040 that really a lot of the main issues in Parliament right now are not to his benefit.
00:03:05.000 Question period over the last week is back to late stage Trudeau level quality. A Polyev
00:03:11.880 Conservative MP will stand up and ask the Liberal Minister, hey, why is food bank use at a record
00:03:18.680 high? Or why are you contracting this American firm for security for the CRA? Or why are you
00:03:25.960 thinking about massively increasing immigration again while we still have bad affordability issues
00:03:31.580 and our unemployment rate is very high. And the liberal minister says something like, well you
00:03:37.720 didn't vote for our social programs, or do you hate immigrants? Like guys, this is Justin Trudeau in
00:03:44.400 late 2024 crap to say. Actually pitch some good thing you've done. Mention some great macroeconomic 0.81
00:03:52.520 stat that has risen under your guys's leadership since Carney came in. They can't point to one.
00:03:58.460 It all sucks. It's just so monumentally lame when you're asked about your own policy failures 0.99
00:04:05.200 to point to one of the policies that you passed that your opposition didn't vote for. Like yeah
00:04:11.040 everyone's going hungry and the economy sucks but you guys didn't vote for our school food program.
00:04:17.460 You didn't vote for our grocery rebate. It's like cool Trudeau era talking point but life sucks 0.99
00:04:24.800 and them not voting for another stupid government program that's increasing inflation 1.00
00:04:29.260 is not the gotcha that you think it is. It's like your opposition just told you your agenda is 1.00
00:04:36.540 failing and you retort back as the finance minister Francois Philippe Champagne or Patty
00:04:43.020 haze you i think she's in charge of jobs or immigration or whatever and you retort back
00:04:47.660 well you didn't vote for our crappy agenda it's like yeah that's why people like them because
00:04:53.560 they don't vote for this absolute gunk policy that sees a problem and says huh can we tax people more 0.55
00:05:01.140 and then hand them back their tax dollars pretending like we're doing something because
00:05:05.300 that's exactly what most of these liberal policies are school food program you mean you're going to
00:05:11.160 tax the parents who are struggling so much that it's hard to be able to give their kids food at
00:05:16.240 school and then you're going to give them a little bit of their tax money back and pretend you're
00:05:21.600 helping them i've said this before but it's like breaking people's legs and then giving them
00:05:27.140 crutches and then trying to shame another party for not voting for your crutch program it's like
00:05:32.620 well we wouldn't need the crutch program if you guys stop breaking people's legs i don't want to
00:05:38.760 be too you know cynical about the crutch program probably to make some people happy but they'd be
00:05:45.540 even happier if we just lowered taxes and regulations then we would actually have 0.99
00:05:50.900 leverage to get a trade deal with the americans and we wouldn't look like complete moronic buffoons 0.96
00:05:56.960 trying to sign a trade deal with turkey and it was really funny while mark carney was in turkey 0.90
00:06:04.560 a journalist did ask him the question as to what he feels about Turkey oppressing many of its people
00:06:11.040 and he gave some sort of limp answer about how well you know just because we are appearing with
00:06:18.200 you know Erdogan the dictator or president of Turkey and just because we're here to sign a
00:06:22.740 trade deal is not an endorsement of everything they do just simply talking to them it does not
00:06:28.480 mean that we are you know supporting them in all of their actions and it's like aren't you the same
00:06:36.340 guy who is trying to demand an apology from donald trump over the whole lake ontario lake america
00:06:42.440 thing before you would come back and talk trade at the negotiating table again like you're the 0.99
00:06:48.540 guy getting offended over obvious stupid jokes and then you're like hand waving away the fact 0.99
00:06:54.260 his dictatorship runs over people with armored cars and shoots protesters and again is running 1.00
00:07:00.100 multiple terrorist organizations in the middle east all that's just details we're trying to sign
00:07:05.860 a trade deal here but when it comes to trying to talk to donald trump oh my goodness he once made
00:07:11.400 a 51st state joke the whole turkey trip and how the liberals are currently acting in parliament
00:07:17.060 is indicative of a government that is desperate for a good headline they are still leading in
00:07:23.200 the polls yes and Carney still has high approval ratings but they realize if more bad news hits
00:07:27.980 that could reverse. So the liberals are currently leading about 10 points on average in the polls
00:07:33.820 now but if you get another month of negative job growth and you get GDP numbers starting to fall
00:07:41.680 and we still don't have a U.S. trade deal and the conservatives start getting really aggressive on
00:07:46.440 these issues, you could start to see that liberal polling lead fall from 10 points to 6 to 5, and
00:07:53.660 remember, last election, they won by about two and a half. It doesn't really take all that much for a
00:08:00.440 popular government to fall down in the polls. You're ahead by 10 points now, but if it starts
00:08:07.340 getting around enough media that things aren't looking so good, and Mark Carney, the guy who
00:08:12.320 market himself as the Trump whisperer and an economic wizard has no clue what he's doing,
00:08:16.880 it's harder to get people out and voting the next election because, well, you know, the whole
00:08:23.280 narrative that people told themselves in their minds for why they're doing what they're doing
00:08:26.800 no longer holds up anymore. If you, I guess, showed up because he's the best guy to be negotiating
00:08:33.160 with Trump and you don't trust Pierre Polyev, but the guy you voted for completely craps the
00:08:38.560 bet on this issue you do have to rethink if you did that you went the wrong way that time my advice
00:08:44.940 to the conservatives is if there is another down month for jobs and another down quarter for the
00:08:51.480 GDP they need to be running wall-to-wall ads ripping apart the image that Mark Carney has
00:08:57.680 built himself this guy is a phony everything that made you like him in the first place was just
00:09:03.840 marketing and that is being proven out now. He doesn't know how to build an economy, he doesn't
00:09:09.580 know how to negotiate a trade deal, and now he's jetting around the planet trying to collect
00:09:14.100 positive headlines by signing trade deals that are either never going to actually materialize
00:09:19.280 or even if he did double trade with that country it wouldn't even put a dent in our GDP and now
00:09:26.220 he's going back to old Justin Trudeau era policies which are actually old carny policies because
00:09:31.680 remember he was the economic advisor for the last five years of Justin Trudeau that is what the
00:09:37.480 poly of conservatives need to be hammering on if there is more bad economic news because Carney
00:09:43.960 is able to kind of skate by on the idea that it might be bad now but his plan is just you know
00:09:49.940 it's going to work in the medium to long term just have faith in him so the conservatives just need
00:09:55.200 to get very aggressive and demonstrate the record to people because they know that the legacy media
00:10:00.240 is not going to actually be following the bouncing ball of all of the bad news that's
00:10:06.460 hitting. Every time bad news hits, they start talking about Pierre Polyev and how bad Trump
00:10:11.440 is. They distract people, or they throw it under the bus and they make it a trade war
00:10:16.540 problem. Sure, is it kind of a trade war problem that we're losing jobs? Yes. At the same time,
00:10:22.420 he's the guy who's supposed to handle it. And so that is where the conservatives should
00:10:27.360 really be not only going after Mark Carney's image but their narrative about themselves should
00:10:32.820 be put me in coach this guy has no clue what he's doing and you look at Canadians as if they're the
00:10:38.820 coach and you're saying I know how to I know actually how to score put me on the ice these 1.00
00:10:43.700 guys suck that is where you can almost take their stupid elbows up thing and throw in your own hockey 0.99
00:10:48.900 analogy I've actually talked to a lot of conservative MPs about my both policy and strategy ideas and 0.99
00:10:55.820 they pretty much universally like them and i'm hoping that we're going to see the poly of
00:11:00.480 conservatives also start offering up really bold policy ideas like the 20 across the board tax cut
00:11:07.740 because if mark carney is not doing anything for the economy there's a little tinkering around the
00:11:12.600 corners you can't just say i have a different way of tinkering around the corners you have to be
00:11:16.500 the bold change so the pattern is very simple attack mark carney's artificial image then you
00:11:23.580 propose bold change the whole put me in coach narrative we have a bold plan to turn things
00:11:28.360 around and that actually can loosen up the polls for the poly of conservatives and probably pop up
00:11:33.740 poly of zone personal approval ratings but with all that said thank you guys for watching me out
00:11:38.480 here on my bench outside in vancouver i'm going to be going back to calgary probably in a few days so
