The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney Liberals sellout to China - Conservatives roast their hypocrisy!

00:00:00.140 Mark Carney and the Liberals are positively begging to lose the next federal election,

00:00:06.640 and it may be coming sooner than later. This is a great description of what Canadian politics are

00:00:12.800 like right now under Mark Carney. So we're not talking to President Donald Trump and the Americans

00:00:20.020 to try and get a trade deal signed. That would be politically incorrect. But we are going to China

00:00:26.740 to bend the knee to Xi Jinping and the CCP government, because that is in fact politically

00:00:32.460 correct. It doesn't even make economic sense, as we are going to get into in a second. But

00:00:37.980 this, I don't even know what this is that Mark Carney is doing. I know he's going to claim that

00:00:43.980 we need to diversify our trade to non-US countries. And by, you know, trying to expand Canadian exports

00:00:51.540 anywhere is like a good goal to have. So you shouldn't judge him because we are trying to

00:00:57.520 make ourselves more independent by trading less with the Americans. And apparently independence

00:01:02.920 means more reliance on the Chinese Communist Party. You know, the government that interferes in our

00:01:09.340 elections and, you know, was holding the two Michaels hostage and holds other Canadians in prison.

00:01:15.180 Yeah, let's go talk to them. Those people who have police stations in our country and harass Chinese 1.00

00:01:20.460 Canadians for daring to go against the CCP agenda while they're in this country. Yeah, let's,

00:01:26.420 those are good, reliable people. Let's, let's go and see what they're up to and trade more of them

00:01:31.540 instead of trying to ally closer with Donald Trump and the Americans, you know, historically our closest

00:01:37.680 trade and foreign policy ally. But whatever. Here is something that Mark Carney, our prime minister,

00:01:44.740 posted eight hours ago. He says,

00:01:47.000 just landed in Beijing. The relationship between Canada and China has created opportunities and

00:01:53.720 prosperity on both sides of the Pacific. We're ready to build a new partnership, one that builds

00:01:59.000 on the best of our past and responds to the challenges of today. Well, one of those challenges

00:02:05.860 is that the CCP is trying to gain influence in Canada and is trying to, you know, shape our

00:02:11.960 governmental decisions and our elections. But I guess when we want to buy cheap plastic crap, 0.96

00:02:17.080 it doesn't matter anymore. Like what are we exporting to them anyways? Oil and gas? That's 0.95

00:02:22.580 a joke. We can't even build a pipeline. Literally right before his China trip, Mark Carney met with the

00:02:28.420 coastal first nations, which is a fake band in order to ask them if they would allow him to build a

00:02:34.700 pipeline. And they said, no, because Mark Carney does not actually want to build a pipeline.

00:02:39.300 He specifically is going to groups he knows is going to tell him no, because he wants to be the

00:02:44.060 guy seemingly fighting for a pipeline. At the same time, he's doing everything in his power to make

00:02:48.540 sure it never happens. He could literally just build it tomorrow. He could just sign documents

00:02:52.440 saying any oil and gas company that invests in a pipeline will be guaranteed building one to the

00:02:56.720 West Coast and will be guaranteed to be able to export oil and gas products off the West Coast.

00:03:01.960 Won't do it. You won't do it. But here's the video that he attached alongside that post.

00:03:09.300 And you'll notice in this video immediately, there's no Xi Jinping in this photo or in this

00:03:25.520 video at all. And it's because Xi Jinping, the president of China, the whatever, I'm not even

00:03:32.020 sure. Is he like the chairman of China, president? He's something. He's the dictator of China.

00:03:36.000 He didn't actually come out to meet Mark Carney. And you could say, well, well, it's not like

00:03:41.100 Canada's that big of a country. We're pretty big. We're like, you know, in the top 15 most

00:03:46.780 important countries in the world, if not maybe top 10. He doesn't come out to meet Mark Carney.

00:03:52.700 It's because he doesn't respect Mark Carney. Do you think if Donald Trump showed up, Xi Jinping

00:03:56.980 would just be sitting off in some other government building waiting for to meet Trump on maybe day two

00:04:02.240 or three of the trip? No, he'd be right there on the tarmac. And the fact that Carney's posting a

00:04:07.060 video where he was clearly just being met with generic diplomats and some random minister 0.99

00:04:11.780 is kind of pathetic. But we have to move on to the real polarity of this whole thing, 0.94

00:04:17.680 which is the fact that Mark Carney quite literally labeled the Chinese not that long ago, you know,

00:04:23.600 in the election as the biggest foreign threat to Canada right now. Melissa Lansman posted this

00:04:29.760 video. Well, we're in a security. So it's a little bit of an awkwardly framed tweet all to

00:04:36.580 show you guys here. But Melissa Lansman here. Oh, come on. I always hate how X kind of sometimes

00:04:45.980 formats itself. But Melissa Lansman posted how it started, how it's going. And we're going to start

00:04:51.700 off with the clip from the debate of Mark Carney. And then we're going to jump over to our foreign

00:04:55.920 affairs minister, Anita Anand on the right and what she's saying now. Mr. Carney back during

00:05:00.920 the election. Mr. Carney. Sorry, I got to take this down and put it back up where we can actually

00:05:09.900 hear it. Oh, my goodness, people, sometimes the videos do not load properly. So here is

00:05:18.740 Mark Carney back during the 2025 leaders debate. Mr. Carney. Well, we're in a security section. I

00:05:27.340 think we didn't have a chance to talk about anything internationally. I think the biggest security

00:05:30.500 threat to Canada is China. China, you say? Yeah. So he said China, and he even clarified it's China

00:05:38.000 after saying it so that people knew that that's what he meant. Absolutely. Our biggest security threat

00:05:43.020 right now is, in fact, China. And now we are going to go to the Anita Anand clip in a second

00:05:49.540 here. Now, what do you think she says? Do you think that she actually is standing firm beside

00:05:54.900 Mark Carney's position? Or maybe Mark Carney in the liberal's position has suddenly changed

00:05:59.940 when convenient. So now that they're trying to sign a trade deal with China, basically just to thumb

00:06:06.020 their noses at the Americans, suddenly all this doesn't matter anymore.

00:06:10.160 Not long ago in your Indo-Pacific strategy, you called China a global disruptive power. Do you still

00:06:15.820 not believe that's the case or has your language around China softened?

00:06:20.480 This is a new government with a new prime minister, a new foreign policy, and a new geopolitical

00:06:30.300 environment? In this moment of economic stress for our country, it is necessary for us to diversify our

00:06:42.600 trading partners and to grow non US trade by at least 50% over the next 10 years. The work that we will

00:06:55.620 continue to do is to diversify supply chains, while continuing to stand up for Canadian interests at every turn.

00:07:07.280 Do you think that Canadian interests would involve us maybe, you know, softening a little bit when it comes to our

00:07:13.820 trade with China, considering they keep, again, interfering with our elections, imprisoning our people, stealing data from our, you know, from our research 0.85

00:07:22.620 facilities? We all remember the super lab incident when it came to, or the lab incident in Manitoba, Winnipeg.

00:07:29.760 Apparently, that's not an actual concern anymore, because we want to ship some lumber to China instead of the Americans to

00:07:37.820 spike Donald Trump or something like that. Because in a hardcore liberal base, it is less offensive to partner with the CCP than to partner with Donald Trump.

00:07:48.260 That's not. That's just basically the truth. That doesn't mean everyone who voted liberal last election is like that. In fact, I would

00:07:54.860 actually say only about 30% the hardcore liberals, you know, like the 17% who still voted for Michael Ignatieff in 2011. Those are the people who just hate the

00:08:06.320 Americans. And that's why they vote for the liberals. There are a lot of people within the liberal party rational enough or people who vote for them rational enough to

00:08:15.040 understand that this makes us look really pathetic, that we're going and bending the knee and we're probably going to take our tariffs off of

00:08:22.040 Chinese EVs that they're dumping on our markets. And in exchange that we get to like trade canola oil into the China easier. Okay, we get to we are

00:08:31.300 seafood's going to go over there easier. Now, I don't like their tariffs on us. But maybe you could argue it's mutual. Although I would say

00:08:37.780 their practices are actually illegal oftentimes when in regards to us, and we responded to that. And theirs is now a tit for tat punishment for

00:08:46.620 even noticing that they've been treating us poorly. But regardless, I want to now get over to the responses by a couple of

00:08:54.760 conservative MPs, including pure poly of I thought that Roman Baber had a very good response here, when he was just go running the

00:09:02.180 numbers and demonstrating how dumb this is for us to be acting like this is some big win that we're going to try and

00:09:08.020 expand our exports with China. So Roman Baber, the MP for York Center points out 5% of Canada's exports go to China, 80% to the USA. It's

00:09:21.460 historic and geographic. It's a historic and geographic reality. Instead of striking a deal with our best customer, Carney is

00:09:28.540 throwing our con throwing our economy by cozying up to communists who abuse human rights and undermine our 1.00

00:09:34.580 democracy, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And he has this, and he attached a screenshot of a global 1.00

00:09:41.800 politics article that says Trump appears to pull plug on USMCA as Canada attempts to reset with China. This is the

00:09:49.780 pattern of Mark Carney. No matter what he said during the federal campaign, he is a terrible negotiator. He doesn't

00:09:55.600 understand Donald Trump. He constantly does things to make himself seem really bold and willing to fight Trump. And then he

00:10:02.200 gets himself into trouble. And then he comes back to beg and gives a bunch of concessions without actually getting a deal

00:10:07.120 signed. I bet you within a month or two, maybe even just a week or two, you're going to have Carney trying to visit the

00:10:14.220 White House again, and talk about how we need to be united against China because Trump is rightfully going to get pretty annoyed with

00:10:21.360 him that the country he shares the biggest land border with is just cozying up with the CCP. It's obviously a bad move. And even if we get an

00:10:32.880 amazing deal with China, and we start trading with them tons, it's bad for national security. And two, unless we double our 0.99

00:10:42.680 exports, this is still kind of a drop in the bucket. It's like Indonesia, we kept pushing that big Indonesia deal, as if it was some

00:10:49.800 great thing, we only trade with them in terms of our exports to Indonesia, to a tune of $2.6 billion a year. Even if we

00:10:57.760 doubled it, it would still be paltry compared to our other trade partners, not even just to the United States, to like the

00:11:05.220 UK, to Australia, to New Zealand, to Japan, we don't trade with them to Indonesia pretty much at all. It's just a very small

00:11:13.320 market. But that's one of the only accomplishments Carney has at this point. But now I just want to move on to a response from

00:11:19.300 Pierre Polyev to what Carney is doing here. Again, like this is like a complete handout at this point to the

00:11:24.660 conservatives. This is so it's such an easy issue for them to dunk on Carney over. And just because it's low

00:11:30.620 hanging fruit doesn't mean they shouldn't do it, obviously. So Pierre Polyev here says, Canada's interest

00:11:37.440 must always come first. Any EVs that function like roving surveillance systems on our streets should not be

00:11:43.420 allowed in Canada. Collecting data, tracking Canadians and tracking Canadians and exposing us to a foreign regime 0.99

00:11:49.260 is an unacceptable national security threat. Canadian workers also shouldn't be undercut by

00:11:54.580 foreign-made EVs that displace made-in-Canada vehicles and threaten our auto jobs. Premier Ford

00:11:59.880 was right to raise concerns about the impacts on workers and our auto sector. The Liberals should tell

00:12:04.960 Beijing they will cancel the $1 billion taxpayer-funded federal loan from Chinese-made ferries if they keep

00:12:11.020 tariffing our seafood, canola, peas, and agri-fruit products. It makes it clear Beijing's meddling our

00:12:16.740 democracy is unacceptable. Canada can't afford a government that gives in without getting anything

00:12:21.140 in return, and our workers can't afford it either. Conservatives will always support what is best for

00:12:25.780 our country and renew our offer to help get a deal. And here's the thing. I am not a big fan of tariffs

00:12:33.480 just for the sake of protecting jobs. Usually if you have jobs leaving the country, it's because you are

00:12:39.340 doing a bad job economically in terms of bad policy, bad tax rates, and whatnot. With China, it's different.

00:12:45.700 With China, they're just going to dump a lot of their overproduced EVs onto your market, which 0.59

00:12:52.740 because we're a small country and they're a large country, what is an amount of leftover vehicles

00:12:57.580 that doesn't seem like a lot to them is a massive amount when it comes to Canada. So if they just

00:13:02.240 offload EVs that didn't sell in China into Canada, it's really difficult to not completely destroy a

00:13:09.740 market. It's like how you could basically destroy an economy in Africa if you just send a bunch of 1.00

00:13:15.980 free resources, free clothes, free food, and now the entire economy collapses because who's going to buy

00:13:20.900 something from the actual farmer or the actual t-shirt maker? You actually have this a lot with

00:13:25.380 certain charities in certain African countries and other poor countries in Asia and elsewhere that when

00:13:30.920 you dump too many free resources in an area, it completely destroys the economy. So when China's dumping

00:13:36.620 discount EVs into Canada, that's actually becoming an economic threat. Deliberately undercutting your

00:13:44.340 economy by just throwing all these, basically this shovelware vehicle scrap into your economy that

00:13:50.380 just undermines the prices of other vehicles. That's not exactly a free market anymore. That's just

00:13:54.960 China using you as a dumping ground for things that their own people didn't even want. And they can be 0.94

00:13:59.600 lesser quality vehicles, but it still ends up throwing the supply and demand of your economy

00:14:04.360 a bit off. It doesn't mean we need government managers managing supply and demand. It just

00:14:09.160 means that if one hostile foreign power is trying to dump like hundreds of millions of EVs onto our

00:14:15.000 economy, we're allowed to say no. But although like, here's the thing too, goodness, we have to stop

00:14:22.240 subsidizing the auto sector in Canada. And I'm not saying that saying let the auto sector die. I'm saying

00:14:27.000 deregulate. Cut taxes. Make it so that our auto sector is competitive. Don't make our auto sector

00:14:33.480 just artificially propped up. It's terrible for us in the long run. And we're already seeing auto jobs

00:14:38.520 not just go to China, not just get undercut by Chinese EVs, but get undercut by American automakers

00:14:45.740 because it's easier to run an auto manufacturer in the United States right now than it is in Canada.

00:14:53.160 Let's compete on ease of doing business. Let's stop competing on subsidies. But overall, what we have

00:14:59.880 from Mark Carney here is just a deliberate anti-American stance. He is aligning Canada

00:15:06.380 with anti-Western forces. And he thinks that this is going to be good for the country. We are in fact,

00:15:12.120 to my knowledge, at least still a Western country. And do you think that the Chinese government is

00:15:17.060 just going to look out for Canada's interests because we trade with them? No, they trade more. 0.84

00:15:22.200 They want to trade more with us so they can screw with us more. I'm fine with trading with the vast

00:15:28.200 majority of countries around the planet. Hostile foreign powers should be traded with less. And I 0.99

00:15:32.880 would rather replace exports to China with exports to America. No, it's not undermining our independence

00:15:38.880 to trade with the most obvious trade partner on the planet for us. It's just common sense.

00:15:43.940 But anyways, that should be it for this video, guys. Thank you all for watching. And thank you

00:15:48.840 for putting up with this alternative setup I have. Sometimes I have to move offices once in a while,

00:15:53.460 but this wasn't actually too bad of a background to be shooting in front of. A little bit of a little

00:15:58.220 bit of rambling in the video because of those technical difficulties. I hate the way Twitter loads

00:16:03.520 posts. Like whenever it's a post with those double videos, I have to realize I need to find a

00:16:07.700 different way of getting the videos because it loads them so weird that they end up, it slows

00:16:11.980 down your computer because trying to figure out which video it's supposed to load. It starts playing

00:16:15.840 even though you want to just be paused. You want the video to load in full, and then you can go to

00:16:21.180 full screen mode. But now this is just me ranting about my lack of forethought. But without all being

00:16:26.740 said, thank you guys for watching. Like, share, subscribe. Join the YouTube membership for the channel to help it

00:16:32.240 be more sustainable for me without having to rely on the YouTube algorithm. And I will see you all next time.
