The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney is HIDING - Cannot Face Media or Pierre after Liberal Recession Declared!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.160 You can tell that Prime Minister Mark Carney is feeling embarrassed in the aftermath

00:00:10.460 of Statistics Canada coming out on Friday, releasing new GDP numbers showing the country

00:00:16.420 has fallen into a recession, because Carney has gone into the politician equivalent of hiding.

00:00:23.440 Yes, he's still out there in the public delivering addresses in front of cameras,

00:00:27.680 but he is not making himself available to the media, let alone doing a scrum where reporters

00:00:33.760 can ask him whatever they want. In fact, he already wasn't doing any big media events leading

00:00:39.600 up to Friday, because he probably already knew what the numbers were going to be,

00:00:44.400 and that's why he headed down to New York to talk in front of the Economic Club of New York,

00:00:50.180 effectively to beg the Trump administration to cut a fast deal with him to get some of the tariff

00:00:55.860 pressure off of Canada, which Carney had been assuring us was not a big deal, and Canada would

00:01:01.580 keep growing its economy whether we got a trade deal or not, and he was just going to hold out

00:01:06.080 basically for the perfect deal only. Well, that doesn't look realistic anymore. Apparently now

00:01:12.660 Dominic LeBlanc is running down to the U.S. to also beg the Trump administration. At the same

00:01:18.220 time, in question period, the liberals are acting completely nonchalant about the recession.

00:01:24.260 Conservative Party leader Pyra Polyev obviously smells blood in the water on this issue,

00:01:29.140 and he is right to get the impression that this is a massive Achilles heel for the liberals.

00:01:34.480 Because a lot of people would probably tell you,

00:01:36.940 well, I voted for Mark Carney because I thought he was going to be the best for handling Trump and the tariffs,

00:01:41.820 and he's also really good for the economy.

00:01:44.400 Heck, he was a Goldman Sachs man.

00:01:46.660 He used to be the chair of Brookfield Asset Management.

00:01:49.880 He was the governor of the Bank of Canada in England.

00:01:52.260 How could he be bad, even though he was also Justin Trudeau's economic advisor, which should have been a massive crimson red flag?

00:02:00.120 But we'll forgive people for thinking that. 0.97

00:02:02.800 Right now, a lot of people are going to be rethinking how they vote, considering in black and white numbers, he sucks at his job.

00:02:10.260 Or I guess not black and white, but red and white numbers, because we are currently in the red in terms of our economy.

00:02:17.140 Anyways, before I get into this press conference with Pierre Polyev where he's asked about Dominic LeBlanc running down to the U.S.

00:02:23.700 and then also asked about his polling numbers, I just quickly want to mention if you like the channel,

00:02:29.040 make sure to leave a like on this video, subscribe if you're not yet a subscriber,

00:02:33.040 and of course hit the join button below the video title if you want to become a channel member and help support the channel,

00:02:38.940 making me less reliant on the YouTube algorithm and making the whole operation more sustainable for me.

00:02:43.900 Of course, I salute everyone who is already a member of the channel. It really does help.

00:02:49.580 But here is Pierre Palliev answering this question about Dominic LeBlanc heading to the U.S.,

00:02:54.540 and then we will get into the slightly snarky question over his polling numbers before we go to QP.

00:03:00.720 I ask you on the economy for the USMCA July 1st review,

00:03:05.160 and what's your expectation out of Dominic LeBlanc, who is headed to Washington this week?

00:03:10.580 Well, I've already told you how we're preparing.

00:03:12.400 We have published a very clear plan to get a tariff-free agreement.

00:03:18.480 I've already did an extensive tour of the United States to win support for tariff-free trade.

00:03:24.260 Frankly, I've done a lot more in opposition than Mr. O'Karni has been doing in government to promote tariff-free trade.

00:03:31.800 I don't have any expectations for Dominic LeBlanc's trip.

00:03:35.140 He does these trips where he goes and socializes and comes back empty-handed.

00:03:38.940 and yet we have while the mexicans have been in formal talks for six months

00:03:43.820 mark carney has been gallivanting around giving speeches filled with dazzling buzzwords 0.73

00:03:49.080 that achieve nothing but the worst economy in the g7 so unfortunately right now all we have

00:03:58.060 is a gigantic liberal recession here at home and no tariff free access abroad now the conservatives

00:04:06.500 should be basically capitalizing on this by, and I think they've been doing a little bit by saying,

00:04:11.680 hey, when did they go from Canada strong to make America great again? But they should also point

00:04:16.120 out just how pathetic the image is. The recession happens. Carney knows it's happening. So he runs 0.97

00:04:22.580 down to New York to beg. Dominic LeBlanc in the aftermath of that heads down to Washington for

00:04:27.960 some emergency talks. And these guys were playing it as cool as a cucumber. We don't care about

00:04:34.020 getting a deal with Trump. We're in no hurry. Don't worry about it, guys. We don't want a bad

00:04:39.580 deal. We're only going to go for a good deal for Canada. And that's why we're in no rush.

00:04:43.500 Even though previously Carney said, I'm going to get it all fixed up by the end of July 2025.

00:04:49.200 Well, we're approaching July 2026, and we still don't have a deal. And we are going to go into

00:04:54.400 KUSMA or USMCA renegotiations, which we're going to fail in. Like just, you know, spoiler alert,

00:05:01.780 we're going to suck at that because we couldn't do the book report right, which is a trade deal

00:05:06.760 on the tariff situation. So how are we going to get the master's thesis done, which is the Kuzma

00:05:12.320 renegotiation? We couldn't do the simple project. So let's do the super complicated project

00:05:17.360 and the simple project at the same time. Maybe Mark Carney is just a master procrastinator,

00:05:24.240 but I doubt it. I think he just doesn't want to fail. And so he's been hiding under his blankets,

00:05:29.420 not wanting to face Trump. And now that the recession is happening, he's kind of forced to

00:05:34.140 go and make friendly with the U.S. once again. So I think Polyev's overall point is correct,

00:05:39.860 that I don't know what this is really going to turn into. It's not like Trump's going to sign

00:05:43.240 anything that's going to make Carney look good at this point. He's going to get a lot of concessions

00:05:47.460 of the liberals because the liberals have not been playing hardball up to this point. And now

00:05:51.740 they're going to have to play softball to at least get something to get us out of the hole we're in.

00:05:56.220 Can I ask you, on your position on the economy, the polls show that despite your bleak picture,

00:06:02.080 despite your bleak picture that you're painting, Canadians trust Mark Carney to deal with the

00:06:06.880 economy, to address jobs. So why do you think that is? Why do you think that despite what

00:06:10.760 you're saying, your pitch is not resonating with them? I always hate questions like this because

00:06:15.280 it's based on polling pre-recession. In fact, we're already getting polling numbers in from

00:06:21.900 pollsters I don't even really like, like liaison. They do lean a little bit left, so I'll take their

00:06:26.480 numbers with a grain of salt. Already showing the NDP jumping up in the aftermath of Stephen

00:06:32.000 Gilboa leaving the Liberal Party, sitting as a Liberal but resigning during the summer

00:06:39.940 because he doesn't like the Liberals on climate anymore. The NDP is also jumping up because of

00:06:45.560 the deal that Carney signed with Alberta Premier Daniel Smith and the media's fear-mongering

00:06:51.280 about separatism is now making those liberals ticked off with Carney that he's working with

00:06:56.580 at all, and they're going NDP. But now that the recession has happened, in the next week,

00:07:01.820 you're probably going to see the liberals tick down a few points, the conservatives tick up a

00:07:05.820 few points, and the NDP may tick up a few points. Yes, Carney's in the lead, but you can't cite a

00:07:11.640 pre-recession lead as basically saying, well, nobody cares about what you're saying about the

00:07:16.380 current recession, Polly, because two weeks ago, the polls showed that it didn't matter.

00:07:20.220 Well, it is. And I think what's going to happen is the illusion of Mark Carney is very quickly going to collide with the reality of Mark Carney. And that reality is that he is the only G7 leader who has put his economy into a recession. He's the only G7 leader whose economy has shrunk in three of the last four quarters.

00:07:41.480 He's the only G7 leader whose economy is smaller today than it was a year ago.

00:07:47.380 He leads the economy with the worst household debt, the worst housing costs, and the worst food price inflation.

00:07:54.160 That is the real record of Mark Carney.

00:07:56.960 It is not the illusion presented in the media, but it is the reality.

00:08:01.720 And I think in the long-term run, reality will collide with the illusion.

00:08:07.780 One last question.

00:08:08.840 And I just want to highlight his point about the illusion that the media has been pushing,

00:08:14.460 because if you actually go and look at news about the recession, they just, the media likes to

00:08:20.900 sidestep the problem and talks and they like to make it more about a Carney versus Polly of fight

00:08:26.380 or talk about, is this really a recession? And should we panic? Basically always softening the

00:08:32.420 blows for Mark Carney. Even now, when the news sucks, it still looks like this. Recession or 0.77

00:08:39.240 not, the political fight over Canada's economy. As conservatives seize on signs of recession,

00:08:45.280 economists say not so fast. Canada slipped into a technical recession on an annualized basis.

00:08:51.800 Are we in a recession, question mark? Be careful with indicators, say Bank of Canada.

00:08:57.040 No, we're in a recession.

00:08:59.100 But if you read the media, if you pick one of the mainstream media outlets, you are fairly

00:09:04.880 likely to get a take that makes you feel skeptical if there's anything really bad going on at

00:09:10.200 all, even though objectively we're in a recession.

00:09:13.620 Objectively, we've lost $120,000 since the start of the year.

00:09:17.600 Not dollars, sorry, jobs since the start of the year.

00:09:19.500 We have had massive amounts of people defaulting on their debt or not being able to pay their

00:09:24.820 mortgages.

00:09:26.080 And yet, if you read the media, it's a question mark. Are we rocketing into space with how good

00:09:31.540 we're doing? Or are we in a recession? Who could say other than the objective standards of what a

00:09:37.900 recession are? But never you mind that, because that doesn't make Mark Carney look very good.

00:09:43.220 But now let's get into the question period today, where I found the performance of the

00:09:48.860 liberals fairly telling on how they're going to try and deal with this whole thing. It's not a

00:09:53.100 problem. It's totally okay. Yes, Dominic LeBlanc and Mark Carney are both begging U.S. President

00:09:58.400 Donald Trump for a trade deal right now by kind of like sidling up to his office and be like, hey,

00:10:03.580 knock, knock. Long time no see, but you have one of those trade deals that other people have been

00:10:11.340 signing may be available to us. Can you give us, you know, anything? We'll take the tip of your

00:10:16.060 shoe at this point literally give us a used sock and you know slightly lower the tariffs by like

00:10:23.400 half a percent we'll take it that that's what's going on here behind the scenes but in front of

00:10:29.160 the cameras liberals are acting nonchalant the group of seven industrialized nations they all

00:10:36.420 face tariffs and global economic forces but japan is not in recession oh in fact actually

00:10:45.260 canada by mark carney's own standards again not only has the best deal with the united states

00:10:51.480 but we're the best we're we're becoming an energy superpower we're we're basically growing our own

00:10:57.740 economy domestically we're becoming more self-reliant we're diversifying our trade

00:11:01.560 we're doing everything right apparently and why so why is everything going wrong it's not even 0.87

00:11:06.840 like japan has far more problems being next to a hostile power like china than canada has with

00:11:14.260 united states we like france and germany and england have far bigger energy issues with the

00:11:21.300 war in ukraine and iran than canada should have we are playing on easy mode and still

00:11:27.780 mark carney cannot basically beat level one of this economic video game the united states

00:11:32.580 is not in recession the united kingdom is not in recession france not in recession

00:11:36.660 germany is not in recession italy is not in recession the only g7 country in recession

00:11:42.660 is canada why is it that canada under this liberal prime minister is the only g7 country

00:11:52.920 in a recession why would he even stand up finance minister couldn't stand up jobs and economy

00:12:05.180 minister couldn't stand up they're going to have the natural resources minister get up who's going

00:12:10.620 to talk about like i guess maybe a couple energy projects that they've invested some money into 0.94

00:12:14.700 it's like okay well big whoop overall you suck at your job what do you say to that terrible members

00:12:21.260 should do his economic homework he should understand that canada is the most integrated 0.98

00:12:25.700 country in the world with the united states they have declared a trade war on us i thought we had

00:12:32.020 the best trade deal with them i thought it was the best again they can say well well actually

00:12:38.160 it hurts us the most because we do have the most integrated economy so even though our trade deal

00:12:43.260 is better than other countries because we trade with them so much it damages us a lot guess what

00:12:47.620 i actually buy that argument now that then leads you to saying why are you guys saying it was no

00:12:54.120 big deal to get a trade deal we didn't need to care about getting one and you're why is like so

00:12:59.860 why aren't you working on getting a trade deal if it's such a big deal and then why we're why

00:13:05.160 are we trying to diversify our trade away like you got again they were pretending like it didn't

00:13:09.740 matter of us getting a trade deal or not the arguments i was making at the time back then

00:13:15.500 was saying no it does matter we don't have the best deal because we trade with them more than

00:13:19.620 these other countries do so relatively our deal is terrible and now that the actual rot has set in

00:13:25.940 suddenly they're actually arguing with the points i was making and saying well actually it's been

00:13:30.440 super bad this trade situation because we're so close to them this side of the house understands

00:13:36.280 that we will control what we can control that's why we're building new minds at red chris that's

00:13:43.240 why we're building new pipelines on sunrise that's why we're building four new mines in saskatchewan

00:13:49.800 a uranium mine a potash mine and a copper mine they should start to understand economics and

00:13:56.120 try to help build this country instead of tear it down. Why don't they reduce taxes? And this is

00:14:03.400 another thing I'm actually going to harp on the conservatives about. Run on an across-the-board

00:14:08.680 tax cut. It can be a little bit higher, it can be a little bit lower, just generally in this range.

00:14:14.320 18% across-the-board tax cut. Every tax bracket, corporate taxes take a point off the GST. That is

00:14:20.960 a very good pitch to make right now because our economic situation is not going to be solved by

00:14:27.040 just getting rid of a couple taxes here and there, like the industrial carbon tax. Great start. Let's

00:14:32.200 reduce all taxes across the board. It's a great pitch to make right now while we are seeing Mark

00:14:36.980 Carney fail this badly. It's not just tinkering around the corners that we need right now. But

00:14:41.600 again, if they're talking about, oh, we're making the investments we need, how do you just cut the

00:14:45.500 taxes and let people make their own investments? That's the problem with the liberals perspective

00:14:49.800 on the economy they think that the way you grow the economy is just throwing money at

00:14:54.280 like specific industries and telling them to expand that's not how you make an economy

00:14:59.640 mexico shares a border with the united states and is as integrated with the u.s as we are

00:15:08.680 and mexico is not in a recession only canada in the north in all of north america only canada is

00:15:15.960 in recession. Not only that, since this pro-Liberal Prime Minister took office, he's lost 46,000

00:15:21.020 jobs, 112,000 in the last three months alone. We have the second highest unemployment in

00:15:25.720 the G7, a third higher than the U.S. The economy has contracted three of the last four quarters.

00:15:31.400 Over $20 billion of net investment has fled the country. Five consecutive quarters of

00:15:36.240 investment dropping. Mortgage delinquencies up a third, a 17-year high. Why are we the

00:15:41.720 only country in a reset. Why do we have all these ministers standing up that obviously have nothing

00:15:51.620 specifically to do with the question being asked? The leader of the opposition should

00:15:56.540 take note of some of the facts. For example, three and a half thousand jobs annually being

00:16:02.600 created with our joint support ships contract, two thousand three hundred jobs to produce our

00:16:08.480 AOP ships, 1,800

00:16:10.660 jobs for our fixed-wing search

00:16:12.500 and rescue, 700

00:16:14.320 jobs for our remotely piloted aircraft

00:16:16.480 system. Wow, we have a bunch of

00:16:18.520 government jobs created?

00:16:20.480 That's crazy. Does that make it

00:16:22.480 not a recession?

00:16:24.760 5,300 0.99

00:16:26.340 direct jobs for our river-class destroyers, 0.97

00:16:28.640 Mr. Speaker. The list is very 0.97

00:16:30.380 long. The leader of the

00:16:32.360 opposition should stop running down

00:16:34.420 Canada and join us.

00:16:36.380 Dude, stop criticizing us. 0.92

00:16:38.480 yeah we suck at our job but you shouldn't criticize us because it's canada or something 0.94

00:16:42.880 like that like okay if we think canada's so precious then you should be criticized for

00:16:48.160 making canada worse that's what that's called patriotism the honor the honorable leader of the

00:17:04.960 opposition it's the liberal prime minister that's running down our economy and then running away

00:17:09.600 from accountability where is he anyway oh and by the way right now mark carney it used to be like

00:17:16.480 29 his attendance record in the house of commons has gone down to 26.8 there's been 123 sessions

00:17:27.040 since he became prime minister and he has been present for a question period 33 times only so

00:17:34.000 26.8% of the time, a little bit over a quarter of the time, you will actually see Mark Carney grace

00:17:40.300 the House of Commons with his presence. And my goodness, there's been times where he felt pretty

00:17:46.660 cocky after getting a trade deal with China. Now, he shouldn't have been because you do not sign

00:17:51.740 trade deals with China. Do not integrate yourself deeper with a country that you've admitted is our 1.00

00:17:57.220 biggest national security threat. But he felt pretty cocky after that. So he was in the House

00:18:01.360 of commons to trade barbs with uh fear poly of and rhetorically joust with him whenever things

00:18:06.940 are not good he basically ducks out yes you could say well he's ducking out three quarters of the

00:18:11.440 time it's not like he's been you know the news cycle has been bad three quarters of the time

00:18:15.260 yeah but whenever things are good he definitely shows up he's definitely not showing up right now

00:18:21.300 it's not because he's out of the country on a trip he's in ottawa he could have shown up he's

00:18:26.000 not there because the it's kind of embarrassing the liberal benches in general on a monday when

00:18:31.680 they should be full are pretty empty because there's nothing you don't want to be in camera

00:18:35.800 shot during this qp no now it's been four days since statistics canada reported that canada's

00:18:43.900 the only g7 country in a recession and the prime minister has not answered one question

00:18:49.480 not in this house not from the media not from anyone the guy who said you hire him in a crisis

00:18:55.800 well now he's made a crisis he's created the only g7 economy that's in a recession

00:19:02.600 instead of running away from accountability why doesn't he run in here and do his job

00:19:12.840 that uh that i think broke the rule i mean we're implying that somebody is 1.00

00:19:17.560 not in the house when they could be i always hate this like apparently there's all these stupid 0.97

00:19:21.400 parliamentary rules like you can't you can't call out someone for not being here uh you can't you 0.96

00:19:27.420 can't mention whether someone's in present in the room or not like can we change the rule we at least

00:19:32.460 make it that leaders of parties should be expected to be there or house leaders should be expected to

00:19:37.680 be there you know like the two people who are kind of leading their team should be able to be called

00:19:42.580 out for not being present in the room but whatever okay apparently we're not allowed to mention the

00:19:47.460 fact that that carney doesn't show up for work job and families oh my goodness minister of jobs

00:19:52.960 and families at least this is kind of in the ballpark was that jobs and families questions

00:19:57.440 uh the uh minister of job and families okay there we go thank you mr speaker in fact when

00:20:05.600 the global winds of uncertainty were blowing what did this government do we took immediate action

00:20:12.320 to put things into place to protect workers in fact if their jobs were threatened if their

00:20:17.440 economies were threatened if their sector was threatened yeah that's why we've lost 120 000

00:20:23.120 jobs since the beginning of the year because we've just been supporting workers so much mr speaker

00:20:28.160 every time we take action for workers to protect workers these guys vote against it just recently

00:20:34.480 mr speaker six billion dollars to skilled trades workers including apprentices in the pipeline

00:20:40.960 right now to help make sure that they can complete their training and get those fantastic paying jobs

00:20:47.280 these guys are ignoring the honorable leader of the opposition

00:20:53.280 just another another response from them again nonchalantness just the idea no no no it's all

00:20:58.320 good it's all good we've created a thousand jobs over there who who cares like the the liberal

00:21:04.080 plan of supporting workers is like yeah like it's not actually creating jobs yeah it creates a few

00:21:10.320 artificial jobs here while the overall job numbers are falling it's what they're doing is they put

00:21:14.340 some pressure under the elbow and they support workers while they're like letting them down into

00:21:18.400 the gutter just kind of you know the guy's falling we support him we kind of grab him by the by the

00:21:23.360 arm and kind of support him while he's falling backwards and we we let him down and then we like

00:21:27.240 walk away that's like the carny way of supporting workers the guy's about to hit the pavement and he

00:21:32.440 throws a pell out so that he hits the pavement and a little bit more comfort and style that that's 1.00

00:21:37.820 way that we support workers in the in the liberal government lower taxes what are you stupid what 1.00

00:21:44.300 we're not going to lower taxes that could hurt our revenues for stupid crap speaker with canada 1.00

00:21:48.940 being the only g7 country in a recession there are very real human costs today they came to 0.99

00:21:56.300 light as food banks canada published a report giving this government a failing grade indicating

00:22:03.660 that one quarter of all Canadians now live in food security.

00:22:08.900 A quarter of food banks have actually run out of food in the last year. 0.90

00:22:15.240 Mr. Speaker, what is a single mother who can't afford groceries supposed to do 1.00

00:22:18.340 when she gets to an empty food bank? 1.00

00:22:20.260 How is she supposed to feed her kids? 0.97

00:22:23.500 Honorable Minister of Jobs and Families. 0.99

00:22:26.120 Oh, my goodness.

00:22:26.640 We actually had someone get up again.

00:22:28.580 The rest of them kind of ran away after their first little kind of like salvo 0.81

00:22:32.060 against Polly Evans.

00:22:33.660 Yet again, I think the leader of the opposition should read the entire report, because although, of course, people are struggling. In fact, what the National Food Bank said was that they're seeing some reasons for optimism, because the very things that they've called for.

00:22:50.200 oh my goodness liberal friendly people in food banks canada is willing to say hey i guess the

00:22:57.120 liberals have thrown out a couple other support programs so there's there's silver linings around

00:23:01.800 this like rusted out uh portrait like automatic tax filing like the introduction of the groceries

00:23:09.620 and essentials benefits like expanded dental care and investments in child care they know as

00:23:15.040 positive and bringing down the cost of living for canadians and mr speaker i will point out

00:23:19.720 they voted against all those measures oh wow i can't believe the conservative why 1.00

00:23:25.400 how could the conservatives vote against a bunch of stupid programs oh my goodness why don't the 1.00

00:23:31.000 conservative support making people slightly more comfortable as they slip into poverty like guys 1.00

00:23:37.080 it's almost like you don't need those programs if you just cut taxes and regulations and you

00:23:42.360 let the economy function properly the liberals like to break people's legs and then give them

00:23:47.160 a crutch what hey the conservatives voted against giving that person a crutch for in the middle of

00:23:53.240 us breaking their legs they they don't like our our crutch program at all it's like yeah

00:24:00.040 because they don't want you to stop breaking people's legs so that they don't need crutches

00:24:08.280 oh it's a block of a quad we can leave that one i actually didn't love the way that the

00:24:12.840 the Conservatives handled question period today. I think Polyev did a good job. Too many of the

00:24:17.500 follow-up MPs basically just asked the same question about the recession. We're the only

00:24:23.600 G7 country in a recession, and they would keep repeating that. It's a good point to make, but

00:24:27.120 they kept saying it. I think someone should have taken on the trade aspect of this. Is the Liberal

00:24:31.440 government now going to finally take getting a trade deal seriously? How are we on the trade

00:24:36.340 deal where are we along the trade deal how many jobs or do like how many jobs are we going to

00:24:43.820 lose in the next quarter why are we losing jobs if you guys are doing such a good job supporting

00:24:48.920 workers like i would just keep asking more specific questions where i felt like a lot of

00:24:53.280 the other mps stayed too broad and on top of the issue again uh i would point out a bunch of their

00:24:59.340 wasted money they spent 200 million dollars on a fake space launch pad at the same time they're

00:25:05.180 bragging about creating jobs. It's like, well, yeah, this is how you're creating jobs, throwing

00:25:10.020 $200 million at nothing. And I guess it creates a bunch of fake jobs out in Newfoundland or

00:25:16.320 somewhere else in Toronto for lobbyists who are getting the government's money for these

00:25:21.140 fake initiatives. But overall, again, conservatives should be asking about a big tax cut. We want a

00:25:28.080 big tax cut because Carney, here's a great thing. And here's a lesson in politics. What you want to

00:25:33.680 do as an opposition party is demand a change that the government would never do. Liberals would

00:25:41.160 never do a big across-the-board tax cut. They're too into government spending as their solution

00:25:47.140 to problems, not shrinking the size of government. So one, it's something your opponent would never

00:25:53.220 do, and it polarizes the electorate. The next election now becomes about Mark Carney's managed

00:25:59.420 decline of the economy slipping in and out of recessions constantly. And then there's Polyev

00:26:04.020 over there saying 18% cut across the board and let's take a point off the GST. That's how you

00:26:09.220 do it. And if he became prime minister, what you do is because you're going to lower corporate

00:26:13.700 taxes, you get grocery stores and say, hey, I'm giving you guys an 18% corporate tax cut.

00:26:19.060 I want next week the price of groceries to go down because I know if the price of groceries

00:26:24.540 doesn't go down, the media is going to pretend it's a big failure, forgetting that usually

00:26:28.840 prices go down slower. You guys need to lower prices ASAP. But now I'm getting way ahead of

00:26:34.260 myself. But overall, there's kind of an art to the way that you run against a failing government.

00:26:39.540 You don't run slightly to their right by saying, I'm going to lower taxes a little bit more.

00:26:44.620 You lower taxes way more than they would ever be willing to do. And this is the problem when

00:26:49.640 Polyev was running against gas taxes. Would I be in favor of getting rid of all the gas taxes?

00:26:54.840 Sure.

00:26:55.680 At the same time, by saying get rid of all of them,

00:26:58.660 Carney, because it's not that big of a hit to his revenues,

00:27:02.100 he said, I'll get rid of the excise tax.

00:27:03.640 I'll get rid of the 10 cent excise tax.

00:27:06.260 And it kind of took a lot of the thunder out of Polyev's point

00:27:08.940 because it was something where Carney was able to do part of it,

00:27:12.220 which meant that all he had left was saying,

00:27:14.440 you should do a little bit more of it.

00:27:16.680 No, run on a massive across-the-board tax cut

00:27:19.580 that Mark Carney will never try and even slightly match you on.

00:27:23.080 That will make him look completely befuddled, completely without the ability to actually, you know, adapt to the failing economy.

00:27:31.820 He'll look like he's out of ideas when he's sitting there doing nothing and you're demanding that he do something big.

00:27:37.640 But here's another thing that the Liberals did recently that doesn't look great in the face of a recession.

00:27:42.600 Chris Workington, the deputy whip of the Conservative Party, said,

00:27:46.280 liberals vote against our conservative motion to reverse plans on tripling the streaming tax

00:27:51.960 which will drive up the price of services like netflix spotify and other online platforms

00:27:56.620 so yeah so they voted against a tax on american streaming companies because they're pretty much

00:28:02.980 all american companies that is going to turn the revenue the tax on their revenue in canada

00:28:07.960 from five percent up to 15 percent what a great idea right when you're trying to get

00:28:14.260 a trade deal signed with the Americans. Let's just triple a tax. Then Trump will want to deal

00:28:20.380 with us. He won't demand a massive amount of concessions for the amount of fooling around

00:28:24.840 that we're doing and not engaging in real trade talks. Everything the liberals do are so

00:28:31.140 contradictory. One day they will be talking about how much we don't need the US. The next day they

00:28:36.780 will be begging Trump and the Americans for a deal. And then they'll also still go forward

00:28:41.160 with tripling attacks. Anyways, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching. Make sure

00:28:46.960 to like, share, and subscribe, and I'll see you guys all next time.
