The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney Liberals EXPOSED for FAKING Trade Agenda with US!

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

00:00:06.600 We need to talk about just how badly the Mark Carney liberals have been failing on U.S. trade.

00:00:13.600 It's like the liberals just assumed that Canadians were eventually going to forget that they ever

00:00:18.480 promised to get a trade deal signed with Trump and the Americans, but in fact, Canadians have not.

00:00:24.620 It was like the one big promise that Mark Carney made during the last federal election,

00:00:30.000 Yes, he did promise other things, but this was like the big keystone promise.

00:00:35.260 He has dealt with Donald Trump before, so you can trust him to get a trade deal signed with the Americans.

00:00:41.260 And then he blew past two of his own deadlines to get a trade deal signed, and that was back in July of last year.

00:00:49.140 And here we are in April 2026, still with no trade deal.

00:00:54.420 And the liberals are getting really antsy now since the conservatives had changed their messaging on this issue a couple months ago and became more aggressive on it. The media says that the conservatives pivoted their trade position. They did not. Basically, Polyev went from just saying that they haven't gotten a trade deal signed, now pivoting to saying, what are you guys actually doing to get it signed?

00:01:16.020 He's now more focused on the details and making proposals for what the liberals could be doing

00:01:20.780 better. And that has put pressure on the liberals to prove that they actually know what they're

00:01:25.100 doing on this issue, since no one has heard any details of what they've gotten up to.

00:01:29.800 And now the pressure is really, really on since U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoegstra revealed

00:01:36.260 on Jasmine Lane's podcast that since October 2025, the Canadian negotiators have basically

00:01:43.680 not engaged with the Americans whatsoever. Yes, they've chatted, but that's a far cry from

00:01:49.900 actually negotiating. And it all goes back to Mark Carney. He doesn't want to get a trade deal

00:01:55.420 signed. He wants to pretend he wants to get a trade deal signed. But like I've been predicting,

00:02:00.700 the business liberals are starting to rebel a little bit. Not inside of the liberal caucus,

00:02:06.140 but in terms of the voter base. The liberals rely on a certain type of voter I call the business

00:02:11.500 liberal. Maybe when it comes to social or cultural issues, they tend to be more socially liberal or

00:02:18.620 just more neutral. But when it comes to issues of the economy and business, if you suck at the 0.99

00:02:24.280 economy, they will go over to the conservatives. And that's why you now see the liberals going out 0.57

00:02:29.620 in the media and making all sorts of excuses for the lack of movement on trade, and now also

00:02:34.400 striking this new advisory council to, I guess, pantomime that they have momentum. It's all just

00:02:41.060 a way of making it seem like they're serious while acting completely unserious. In just a second here,

00:02:47.560 I want to take you guys through a few clips. First of the Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc speaking on

00:02:52.780 CTV News and falling all over himself, and then we are going to get to some CPAC interviews in the

00:02:58.200 halls of the Parliament, and we can see sort of what the discourse is like on both sides of the

00:03:03.880 aisle. But before we get into this first clip, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the

00:03:08.840 channel, consider supporting the channel by hitting the join button below the video. It really helps

00:03:14.180 if people of a small minority of the viewers are making a small contribution per month. It allows

00:03:19.580 the channel to be more sustainable for me and allows me to be less reliant on the very fickle

00:03:25.280 YouTube algorithm for income. If you're a senior on fixed income, do not bother joining. I'm not

00:03:30.860 trying to pressure anyone to do it, but if you want to throw in a few dollars and that would not

00:03:34.660 affect you at all. I would greatly appreciate it. And I appreciate everyone who already is a

00:03:39.780 channel member. Anyways, so here we go with Dominic LeBlanc on CTV News being pressed

00:03:45.100 on why we have not actually why, you know, why apparently there's been no momentum since October

00:03:51.260 on trade. It's not the same circumstance as October, but to say that there are no conversations

00:03:58.400 or I forget the exact phrase the ambassador said. No serious negotiations. So you disagree with

00:04:04.640 What is happening?

00:04:06.480 Because what you're describing right now is just talks.

00:04:08.620 Like, people are talking.

00:04:10.220 Vashi Kapelos is the only good person at CTV News and maybe in the entire legacy media.

00:04:16.980 She's absolutely right, and this is the point I've been making.

00:04:19.720 The Americans tend to be more specific when they say what is not going on.

00:04:24.820 There's no concessions.

00:04:26.260 There's no demands.

00:04:27.040 There's no actual serious movement to trying to get things agreed to to move on to next steps.

00:04:33.140 And whenever Dominic LeBlanc and the Liberals talk about trade, it gets really vague.

00:04:38.700 The Trump administration has talked about things like supply management, other issues around China that they want taken care of.

00:04:45.000 Canadian negotiators talk or the minister talks or Carney talks and turns into we're having conversation.

00:04:51.120 We're still talking.

00:04:52.920 About what? 1.00

00:04:54.520 And that's what Vashti Capellos is getting at. 0.55

00:04:56.320 About what are we talking about?

00:04:58.380 Come on, man.

00:04:59.300 What do we take from that?

00:05:00.040 Well, but Secretary Lutnik or Ambassador Greer, if they didn't think there was some benefit, they're not going to have 45-minute meetings, one-hour meetings, schedule other meetings with us if they didn't think it was serious.

00:05:12.260 So, like, it's serious in the sense that we're discussing serious issues with them in active conversation.

00:05:22.660 So I think that's serious.

00:05:24.240 so apparently because meetings are taking place at all that means that they are serious yeah

00:05:30.860 they're getting frustrated because they're expecting serious meetings you show up and

00:05:35.800 there is no actual talk of i want this and you can have that but i get this that's not what's

00:05:42.520 going on that's the problem you are the trade minister and other negotiators show up and so

00:05:47.620 it gives an air of seriousness so they're willing to hear from you but then they are now telling

00:05:53.240 everybody that it's not serious because it's never going anywhere. How is it that Carney

00:05:58.060 believed at one point between April when he was elected as the prime minister in his own right,

00:06:04.080 rather than just, you know, being acclaimed as prime minister for winning the leadership

00:06:07.140 from April to July? Why did Carney believe that that was a solid timeline to get a trade deal

00:06:13.560 done in? And now suddenly they constantly need more time. It's almost like he did have enough

00:06:17.400 time, but he doesn't actually want to get a trade deal signed. And so what he's doing now is just

00:06:21.800 farting around basically just not really taking it seriously because if carney signs a deal with

00:06:27.400 trump it takes away his fear-mongering against trump carney wants the trade issue to stay

00:06:33.480 because it's a political boon for him um but i also recognize that uh what we thought was a

00:06:41.560 circumstance last fall um is now tied into the broader kuzma review conversation we're ready for

00:06:50.440 that we're ready for those discussions we're always ready and have been ready um for a long

00:06:55.480 time so i'm i'm not pessimistic vashi about our ability to continue those negotiations

00:07:04.040 i'm not pessimistic about our ability to continue those negotiations

00:07:08.520 the bar is so low we are saying well it's all going fine because i'm not pessimistic

00:07:13.640 on my ability to still get into the room and waste time for an hour or two uh in any instance

00:07:19.400 nobody cares about that they want to actually hear if you're optimistic to get to a actual

00:07:26.200 resolution of the problems and now he's trying to spin it as well no it's okay actually all this

00:07:30.800 wasting time has been part of a strategy because now we can staple these last trade problems

00:07:36.500 onto the new trade problem of renegotiating kuzma or the usmca they couldn't handle the first part

00:07:44.120 So why do we think they're going to be able to handle Kuzma and the other trade issues together?

00:07:50.240 Oh my goodness.

00:07:51.280 If we wanted to sign a bad deal or concede a whole bunch of things that wouldn't be in Canada's economic interest,

00:07:58.300 we may have been able to sign a bad deal some time ago.

00:08:01.780 But we've said that we're not going to do that and we're not going to concede a series of things

00:08:06.900 just to have another meeting to get another list of things that we should concede.

00:08:10.720 That's not the way it's going to work.

00:08:11.940 so well the whole point is that there's no concessions there's no talk this is like if a

00:08:18.860 child not even like a high school or that is too developed for this like a middle school grade

00:08:25.620 seven student said well i didn't hand in my essay because if i handed in an essay right now

00:08:31.060 it wouldn't be a very good essay so you know i'm serious about getting this essay complete and

00:08:35.820 making it just an a plus plus essay because i'm taking so long with it it's not because i'm

00:08:41.520 sitting in the basement playing video games all day and not actually working on it. It's because

00:08:45.480 I'm working too hard on it. Do you want me to hand you something half-fake? Do you want me to hand

00:08:50.860 you a bad essay, a B plus essay? No, no, no. I'm going to hand you an A plus plus plus plus plus

00:08:56.360 essay, and you know that because I'm not actually giving it to you yet. Quite the strategy, quite

00:09:03.360 the messaging strategy there from our trade minister, Dominic LeBlanc. But now I want to

00:09:09.360 jump over to this CPAC footage of, you know, of both Prime Minister Mark Carney, the trade

00:09:16.020 minister, and other people talking about this new council they're going to strike, this advisory

00:09:21.740 council on U.S. trade. Apparently, after an entire year of Mark Carney being prime minister and not

00:09:28.260 getting any momentum on negotiations himself, suddenly now if we get a bunch of random people

00:09:35.140 on this list to advise on it,

00:09:38.020 it's all going to start getting done.

00:09:39.600 Everything's going to start popping together.

00:09:42.660 You know, the council will give advice to...

00:09:45.020 I lost my breath.

00:09:47.980 I got to get back in shape.

00:09:50.260 Minister LeBlanc, myself,

00:09:52.840 Madame Charette as the negotiator,

00:09:55.040 other ministers.

00:09:56.720 I'm very pleased to have that group.

00:09:58.740 It's a diverse group,

00:10:02.000 leaders from the union movement,

00:10:04.280 experts in industry and CEOs and finance and across across the economy well it's

00:10:16.920 let's see sorry where were you yeah okay yeah no our hearts go out to

00:10:23.640 the family and friends of the individual who was tragically killed

00:10:34.280 pushed over it's a workplace accident here um the new council we're very excited about the new

00:10:39.720 advisory council um the prime minister has brought together uh senior business leaders

00:10:45.880 in the country senior elected union leaders representatives of business associations

00:10:52.840 you don't even really need to hear about this honestly it was kind of a mistake for me to even

00:10:56.280 attempt to show that um yeah so the liberals have basically put together this and i'm not

00:11:02.280 trying to say this in a rude way because some of the people on the list i'd have more respect for

00:11:07.640 uh mckenzie gray posted this on x just a couple hours ago or a few hours ago uh 11 hours ago to

00:11:14.600 be fair uh but mckenzie gray posted this at the start of the day and it says here is who mark

00:11:19.240 carney has appointed to the newly revamped advisory committee on canada u.s economic relations and the

00:11:25.800 problem is if you read this list is there's some people on there i don't mind i actually don't mind

00:11:31.000 jean charay on here there's also uh it's not lisa mcleod it was uh lisa rate is on this list

00:11:38.200 ralph goodale's on it uh you have erin o'toole for some reason but why is this the secret sauce

00:11:44.600 to getting a deal done why is this list special what about this advisory committee this advisory

00:11:54.360 council is going to cause there to be a big breakthrough on trade if anything i would say

00:12:00.040 to the individuals I actually have respect for, like Jean Charest and Lisa Raitt. Now,

00:12:04.880 I don't agree with everything Jean Charest or Lisa Raitt have ever said or done. But my point

00:12:10.740 with mentioning them is that, like, you know, they've been key to the conservative movement

00:12:16.480 at different times. I obviously did not vote for Jean Charest in the 22 federal conservative

00:12:21.680 leadership. But they're people with experience. They're voices from the other side of the aisle,

00:12:27.400 you could say, although Jean Charest is probably not that much different than Mark Carney these

00:12:31.400 days, especially Aaron O'Toole on that list is basically a Mark Carney liberal. But what are

00:12:36.420 they actually thinking that Mark Carney is going to do with them? Or are you effectively just

00:12:41.440 co-signing Mark Carney, still not getting anything done? Because what is the advisory council

00:12:45.880 committed to doing? And I know I'm just asking a lot of kind of vague questions, but it's because

00:12:52.340 this whole thing is vague why was this not struck last year why is suddenly the council needed now

00:12:59.840 it's not needed this is a delay tactic to feign seriousness to pretend as if they're actually

00:13:06.320 attempting to accomplish anything at all and now just want to take you guys to uh this clip from

00:13:12.380 peer poly of uh from one of the other cpac interviews that happened later where he reacts

00:13:17.140 to the new council and the fact that the liberals still haven't gotten anything done

00:13:21.000 It's great. At the end of the day, though, what we need is action.

00:13:28.040 Mark Carney was elected on the singular promise that he would negotiate a win with the Americans.

00:13:36.200 Since that time, American tariffs have doubled and broadened on Canadian goods.

00:13:42.720 Carney's given us the worst economy in the G7, the only shrinking economy in the G7.

00:13:47.300 were hemorrhaging jobs. Just 10 days ago, the Americans hit us with much bigger tariffs on

00:13:53.840 products that include Canadian steel. And what has Mark Carney done, really, in a year on this?

00:14:02.900 He hasn't held negotiations in five months. The Mexicans are going to be at the table

00:14:07.460 formally with the Americans any day. The only talks that Mark Carney is doing

00:14:11.260 are YouTube videos, where he's comparing himself to Sir Isaac Brock and holding up little figurines

00:14:17.260 in his office so he told all of you the other day that with his new majority he was going to stop

00:14:22.380 showboating and then a few days later he put out a showboating youtube video right the the 2.6

00:14:28.700 million canadians whose jobs depend on getting rid of these terrible american tariffs have had

00:14:35.260 about enough of mark carney making false promises and delivering the worst economy in the g7 and by

00:14:42.700 By the way, and this is the problem for Mark Carney, is that when business liberals are

00:14:47.580 hearing this, and business liberals can also convert to being business conservatives as

00:14:51.940 well, I'm just saying the party that they currently lie with, the business liberals

00:14:56.080 will eventually think, okay, well, we've tried it with Carney.

00:14:59.540 They don't really care about the social politics, the cultural politics as much.

00:15:03.400 In fact, they probably actually prefer the economics and public finance ideas of the

00:15:08.440 conservatives more.

00:15:09.360 But in this last election, they went with Carney and the liberals because Carney seemed, at least on the surface level, more credible when it came to dealing with Donald Trump.

00:15:17.820 Now that Polyev is the one actually making suggestions saying, hey, how about we leverage the new China deal, tear it up in favor of getting at least tariffs removed on autos.

00:15:26.640 And then he can do the same thing with other pieces of leverage. And especially if you cut taxes massively and you cut regulations massively, you would strengthen your own position domestically to the point where the Americans might not feel that they're in as good a position to demand more concessions.

00:15:42.640 concessions. So Pauliova is now the one who sounds way more credible than Carney on this issue. And

00:15:47.980 that's why you see Carney reaching for credibility tools like this new council, having Dominic LeBlanc

00:15:54.900 go on shows trying to basically gird up this idea that no, no, no, we're talking. What do you want

00:15:59.700 us to do to sign a bad deal? It's taking a long time because we're trying to cook up perfection.

00:16:03.900 To which I would say, stop looking for perfection. It's something that's good. But the problem is the

00:16:08.620 liberals are going to hide behind perfection to disguise the fact that they haven't gotten anywhere.

00:16:13.760 They haven't even gotten to anything good. They haven't even gotten to a deal at all, good or bad.

00:16:18.580 That's the problem we have here. So I think that the line that Paulyov is on, he just needs to keep

00:16:23.520 pushing this and getting more aggressive and asking every single day, why won't you let me do it for

00:16:29.600 you? Let me be the person who leads the Canada U.S. trade talks. I can get this done. Focus on

00:16:35.220 other stuff, I'll do this. Because he can't even, Carney, can't even get interprovincial trade

00:16:39.980 barriers down. Dominic LeBlanc, in my last video, in one of the clips I showed, demonstrated that

00:16:45.640 he doesn't know when we're actually going to remove any of the interprovincial trade barriers.

00:16:49.720 He says, oh, well, we've gotten rid of the federal ones, which might be true in a limited sense.

00:16:54.600 The problem was never from the federal government when it came to interprovincial trade,

00:16:58.280 although it kind of is because all the anti-pipeline policies in a certain sense are

00:17:02.480 an anti-interprovincial trade barrier that they won't get rid of.

00:17:07.000 But Paul, you can just say, you guys go deal with that.

00:17:09.900 I will go deal with the Americans.

00:17:11.620 Keep pitching yourself as the guy who can solve the issue,

00:17:14.920 and you will start having a flood of business liberals come over to your side.

00:17:19.220 Because at the end of the day, those people want to defend their investments

00:17:22.280 and defend their businesses.

00:17:24.340 And if Carney's not moving on it, they are going to have to go with the alternative.

00:17:27.860 and you have to keep keeping you have to keep that wound open that he has not finished or

00:17:32.940 accomplished anything you know you were all very critical of me you said that I need to be more

00:17:37.080 clear in my plans with Canada U.S. I've laid out an extremely detailed plan to counter American

00:17:42.640 tariffs and to fight for U.S. trade my position is clear build up leverage use that leverage to

00:17:48.700 get rid of American tariffs on aluminum steel autos and lumber what is Mark Carney's plan

00:17:54.400 What are his intentions? Has Mr. Carney even stated whether he wants to renew USMCA at all?

00:18:01.520 He said yesterday trade with the U.S. is a big, in his video, he said trade with the U.S. is a

00:18:07.280 big weakness. So does that mean that he wants to end USMCA? And he is right on this, but

00:18:13.280 and this is where Polly, I'm not saying this in a bad way, he should stoke the fear of what

00:18:19.120 Carney is doing because people should be fearful. Is he wanting to permanently make China our number

00:18:25.040 one trade partner? Does he want to replace the United States with overseas trade? That's not

00:18:30.720 going to work and any business person with their salt knows that that's not going to work. And so

00:18:35.760 he is right to call out that what Carney keeps doing is he keeps miming seriousness on US trade

00:18:42.880 and then he immediately comes up with five reasons why you should be too scared of the Americans

00:18:46.960 to talk without we should be too scared of them to even engage with trade talks uh they're

00:18:51.360 untrustworthy uh we can't do it our relationship has ended he keeps basically talking about both

00:18:57.840 sides of his mouth hoping that nobody's going to notice if he wants it renegotiated does he

00:19:03.840 want a full overhaul a few tweaks what are his demands has he waved the right flag on getting

00:19:10.480 rid of the tariffs on aluminum steel autos and lumber or is he still fighting that fight does

00:19:17.360 anybody know what mark carney's plan is i i don't honestly i mean does anyone anybody here know what

00:19:23.700 his plan is i really like polio's rhetorical strategy here but i will not let him go without 0.50

00:19:29.280 criticizing him on one thing polioff i will come into your i will break into your house and i will 0.83

00:19:35.120 steal all your blue and dark navy ties until you buy other ties he needs more brown in his life 0.55

00:19:40.480 He needs more different suit colors in his life.

00:19:43.740 He only wears dark navy these days.

00:19:45.980 And as a guy who likes suits and ties, he needs other colors.

00:19:50.940 This is a very minor criticism, but he needs different colors.

00:19:54.860 And I will physically attack him if he doesn't change in the next few months.

00:19:59.460 This is my demands. 0.96

00:20:00.980 I'm being a bit silly, but still, you should do that.

00:20:03.660 But overall, Mark Carney is, at least on this issue, on the ropes.

00:20:07.340 Obviously, he's not about to collapse and his government's going to fall apart.

00:20:10.480 But Carney is looking really weak on this, which demonstrates or it kind of kind of raised the question, why isn't the media asking more questions to liberals on this issue?

00:20:20.660 They've kind of started to. But overall, none of the media, like most of the hosts, most of the politics hosts on the major legacy media, like like programs are actually asking the questions other than Vashi Capellos.

00:20:36.320 I wanted to bring up this clip of James Moore talking on the CBC because he makes a good point here.

00:20:42.160 The media is currently having a love affair with the Carney liberals.

00:20:46.820 Look, I mean, there's a bit of a love affair going on as well.

00:20:49.140 Let's be honest, right?

00:20:50.100 I mean, maybe three great love affairs in history, Romeo and Juliet, Will and Kate and the national media and Mark Carney.

00:20:55.920 I mean, the national media really likes this guy.

00:20:58.080 They've known him for a long time and they're giving him a free pass so far.

00:21:00.860 But he's in the short time that he's been liberal leader without any real protest, without any real pushback.

00:21:05.880 He doesn't really have opposition within the Liberal Party.

00:21:08.580 He has a free run of things.

00:21:10.220 And so far, he has made some mistakes that he has to be accountable for, right?

00:21:13.640 And so what Polioff should do, taking some of the advice of James Moore here, the implied

00:21:18.120 advice, is Polioff should start going to the media and asking, when are you going to ask

00:21:22.620 Carney what the new deadline is for a trade deal?

00:21:25.260 Canadians need to ask him when the new deadline is.

00:21:28.160 He blew past his last ones, but we deserve to have a timeline.

00:21:32.300 What's his plans?

00:21:33.060 ask him what he's actually willing to concede on what is he demanding because right now it's a

00:21:38.340 giant black box and the liberals are just telling people to accept it which is unacceptable anyways
