Mark Carney's trip to China is a complete disaster, and we're here to talk about it. First, we talk about the fact that the Chinese government doesn't seem to care that much about Canada, and that's a good thing. We also talk about how the Chinese don't care much about our politics, and how they don't even give a damn about our elections.
00:01:47.000just landed in Beijing. The relationship between Canada and China has created opportunities and
00:01:53.720prosperity on both sides of the Pacific. We're ready to build a new partnership, one that builds
00:01:59.000on the best of our past and responds to the challenges of today. Well, one of those challenges
00:02:05.860is that the CCP is trying to gain influence in Canada and is trying to, you know, shape our
00:02:11.960governmental decisions and our elections. But I guess when we want to buy cheap plastic crap,
00:02:17.080it doesn't matter anymore. Like what are we exporting to them anyways? Oil and gas? That's
00:02:22.580a joke. We can't even build a pipeline. Literally right before his China trip, Mark Carney met with the
00:02:28.420coastal first nations, which is a fake band in order to ask them if they would allow him to build a
00:02:34.700pipeline. And they said, no, because Mark Carney does not actually want to build a pipeline.
00:02:39.300He specifically is going to groups he knows is going to tell him no, because he wants to be the
00:02:44.060guy seemingly fighting for a pipeline. At the same time, he's doing everything in his power to make
00:02:48.540sure it never happens. He could literally just build it tomorrow. He could just sign documents
00:02:52.440saying any oil and gas company that invests in a pipeline will be guaranteed building one to the
00:02:56.720West Coast and will be guaranteed to be able to export oil and gas products off the West Coast.
00:03:01.960Won't do it. You won't do it. But here's the video that he attached alongside that post.
00:03:09.300And you'll notice in this video immediately, there's no Xi Jinping in this photo or in this
00:03:25.520video at all. And it's because Xi Jinping, the president of China, the whatever, I'm not even
00:03:32.020sure. Is he like the chairman of China, president? He's something. He's the dictator of China.
00:03:36.000He didn't actually come out to meet Mark Carney. And you could say, well, well, it's not like
00:03:41.100Canada's that big of a country. We're pretty big. We're like, you know, in the top 15 most
00:03:46.780important countries in the world, if not maybe top 10. He doesn't come out to meet Mark Carney.
00:03:52.700It's because he doesn't respect Mark Carney. Do you think if Donald Trump showed up, Xi Jinping
00:03:56.980would just be sitting off in some other government building waiting for to meet Trump on maybe day two
00:04:02.240or three of the trip? No, he'd be right there on the tarmac. And the fact that Carney's posting a
00:04:07.060video where he was clearly just being met with generic diplomats and some random minister
00:04:11.780is kind of pathetic. But we have to move on to the real polarity of this whole thing,
00:04:17.680which is the fact that Mark Carney quite literally labeled the Chinese not that long ago, you know,
00:04:23.600in the election as the biggest foreign threat to Canada right now. Melissa Lansman posted this
00:04:29.760video. Well, we're in a security. So it's a little bit of an awkwardly framed tweet all to
00:04:36.580show you guys here. But Melissa Lansman here. Oh, come on. I always hate how X kind of sometimes
00:04:45.980formats itself. But Melissa Lansman posted how it started, how it's going. And we're going to start
00:04:51.700off with the clip from the debate of Mark Carney. And then we're going to jump over to our foreign
00:04:55.920affairs minister, Anita Anand on the right and what she's saying now. Mr. Carney back during
00:05:00.920the election. Mr. Carney. Sorry, I got to take this down and put it back up where we can actually
00:05:09.900hear it. Oh, my goodness, people, sometimes the videos do not load properly. So here is
00:05:18.740Mark Carney back during the 2025 leaders debate. Mr. Carney. Well, we're in a security section. I
00:05:27.340think we didn't have a chance to talk about anything internationally. I think the biggest security
00:05:30.500threat to Canada is China. China, you say? Yeah. So he said China, and he even clarified it's China
00:05:38.000after saying it so that people knew that that's what he meant. Absolutely. Our biggest security threat
00:05:43.020right now is, in fact, China. And now we are going to go to the Anita Anand clip in a second
00:05:49.540here. Now, what do you think she says? Do you think that she actually is standing firm beside
00:05:54.900Mark Carney's position? Or maybe Mark Carney in the liberal's position has suddenly changed
00:05:59.940when convenient. So now that they're trying to sign a trade deal with China, basically just to thumb
00:06:06.020their noses at the Americans, suddenly all this doesn't matter anymore.
00:06:10.160Not long ago in your Indo-Pacific strategy, you called China a global disruptive power. Do you still
00:06:15.820not believe that's the case or has your language around China softened?
00:06:20.480This is a new government with a new prime minister, a new foreign policy, and a new geopolitical
00:06:30.300environment? In this moment of economic stress for our country, it is necessary for us to diversify our
00:06:42.600trading partners and to grow non US trade by at least 50% over the next 10 years. The work that we will
00:06:55.620continue to do is to diversify supply chains, while continuing to stand up for Canadian interests at every turn.
00:07:07.280Do you think that Canadian interests would involve us maybe, you know, softening a little bit when it comes to our
00:07:13.820trade with China, considering they keep, again, interfering with our elections, imprisoning our people, stealing data from our, you know, from our research
00:07:22.620facilities? We all remember the super lab incident when it came to, or the lab incident in Manitoba, Winnipeg.
00:07:29.760Apparently, that's not an actual concern anymore, because we want to ship some lumber to China instead of the Americans to
00:07:37.820spike 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.
00:07:48.260That'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
00:07:54.860actually 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
00:08:06.320Americans. 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
00:08:15.040understand 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
00:08:22.040Chinese 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
00:08:31.300seafood'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
00:08:37.780their 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
00:08:46.620even noticing that they've been treating us poorly. But regardless, I want to now get over to the responses by a couple of
00:08:54.760conservative MPs, including pure poly of I thought that Roman Baber had a very good response here, when he was just go running the
00:09:02.180numbers and demonstrating how dumb this is for us to be acting like this is some big win that we're going to try and
00:09:08.020expand 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
00:09:21.460historic and geographic. It's a historic and geographic reality. Instead of striking a deal with our best customer, Carney is
00:09:28.540throwing our con throwing our economy by cozying up to communists who abuse human rights and undermine our
00:09:34.580democracy, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And he has this, and he attached a screenshot of a global
00:09:41.800politics article that says Trump appears to pull plug on USMCA as Canada attempts to reset with China. This is the
00:09:49.780pattern of Mark Carney. No matter what he said during the federal campaign, he is a terrible negotiator. He doesn't
00:09:55.600understand Donald Trump. He constantly does things to make himself seem really bold and willing to fight Trump. And then he
00:10:02.200gets himself into trouble. And then he comes back to beg and gives a bunch of concessions without actually getting a deal
00:10:07.120signed. 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
00:10:14.220White House again, and talk about how we need to be united against China because Trump is rightfully going to get pretty annoyed with
00:10:21.360him 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
00:10:32.880amazing deal with China, and we start trading with them tons, it's bad for national security. And two, unless we double our
00:10:42.680exports, 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
00:10:49.800great 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
00:10:57.760doubled it, it would still be paltry compared to our other trade partners, not even just to the United States, to like the
00:11:05.220UK, 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
00:11:13.320market. 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
00:11:19.300Pierre Polyev to what Carney is doing here. Again, like this is like a complete handout at this point to the
00:11:24.660conservatives. This is so it's such an easy issue for them to dunk on Carney over. And just because it's low
00:11:30.620hanging fruit doesn't mean they shouldn't do it, obviously. So Pierre Polyev here says, Canada's interest
00:11:37.440must always come first. Any EVs that function like roving surveillance systems on our streets should not be
00:11:43.420allowed in Canada. Collecting data, tracking Canadians and tracking Canadians and exposing us to a foreign regime
00:11:49.260is an unacceptable national security threat. Canadian workers also shouldn't be undercut by
00:11:54.580foreign-made EVs that displace made-in-Canada vehicles and threaten our auto jobs. Premier Ford
00:11:59.880was right to raise concerns about the impacts on workers and our auto sector. The Liberals should tell
00:12:04.960Beijing they will cancel the $1 billion taxpayer-funded federal loan from Chinese-made ferries if they keep
00:12:11.020tariffing our seafood, canola, peas, and agri-fruit products. It makes it clear Beijing's meddling our
00:12:16.740democracy is unacceptable. Canada can't afford a government that gives in without getting anything
00:12:21.140in return, and our workers can't afford it either. Conservatives will always support what is best for
00:12:25.780our country and renew our offer to help get a deal. And here's the thing. I am not a big fan of tariffs
00:12:33.480just for the sake of protecting jobs. Usually if you have jobs leaving the country, it's because you are
00:12:39.340doing a bad job economically in terms of bad policy, bad tax rates, and whatnot. With China, it's different.
00:12:45.700With China, they're just going to dump a lot of their overproduced EVs onto your market, which
00:12:52.740because we're a small country and they're a large country, what is an amount of leftover vehicles
00:12:57.580that doesn't seem like a lot to them is a massive amount when it comes to Canada. So if they just
00:13:02.240offload EVs that didn't sell in China into Canada, it's really difficult to not completely destroy a
00:13:09.740market. It's like how you could basically destroy an economy in Africa if you just send a bunch of
00:13:15.980free resources, free clothes, free food, and now the entire economy collapses because who's going to buy
00:13:20.900something from the actual farmer or the actual t-shirt maker? You actually have this a lot with
00:13:25.380certain charities in certain African countries and other poor countries in Asia and elsewhere that when
00:13:30.920you dump too many free resources in an area, it completely destroys the economy. So when China's dumping
00:13:36.620discount EVs into Canada, that's actually becoming an economic threat. Deliberately undercutting your
00:13:44.340economy by just throwing all these, basically this shovelware vehicle scrap into your economy that
00:13:50.380just undermines the prices of other vehicles. That's not exactly a free market anymore. That's just
00:13:54.960China using you as a dumping ground for things that their own people didn't even want. And they can be
00:13:59.600lesser quality vehicles, but it still ends up throwing the supply and demand of your economy
00:14:04.360a bit off. It doesn't mean we need government managers managing supply and demand. It just
00:14:09.160means that if one hostile foreign power is trying to dump like hundreds of millions of EVs onto our
00:14:15.000economy, we're allowed to say no. But although like, here's the thing too, goodness, we have to stop
00:14:22.240subsidizing the auto sector in Canada. And I'm not saying that saying let the auto sector die. I'm saying
00:14:27.000deregulate. Cut taxes. Make it so that our auto sector is competitive. Don't make our auto sector
00:14:33.480just artificially propped up. It's terrible for us in the long run. And we're already seeing auto jobs
00:14:38.520not just go to China, not just get undercut by Chinese EVs, but get undercut by American automakers
00:14:45.740because it's easier to run an auto manufacturer in the United States right now than it is in Canada.
00:14:53.160Let's compete on ease of doing business. Let's stop competing on subsidies. But overall, what we have
00:14:59.880from Mark Carney here is just a deliberate anti-American stance. He is aligning Canada
00:15:06.380with anti-Western forces. And he thinks that this is going to be good for the country. We are in fact,
00:15:12.120to my knowledge, at least still a Western country. And do you think that the Chinese government is
00:15:17.060just going to look out for Canada's interests because we trade with them? No, they trade more.
00:15:22.200They want to trade more with us so they can screw with us more. I'm fine with trading with the vast
00:15:28.200majority of countries around the planet. Hostile foreign powers should be traded with less. And I
00:15:32.880would rather replace exports to China with exports to America. No, it's not undermining our independence
00:15:38.880to trade with the most obvious trade partner on the planet for us. It's just common sense.
00:15:43.940But anyways, that should be it for this video, guys. Thank you all for watching. And thank you
00:15:48.840for putting up with this alternative setup I have. Sometimes I have to move offices once in a while,
00:15:53.460but this wasn't actually too bad of a background to be shooting in front of. A little bit of a little
00:15:58.220bit of rambling in the video because of those technical difficulties. I hate the way Twitter loads
00:16:03.520posts. Like whenever it's a post with those double videos, I have to realize I need to find a
00:16:07.700different way of getting the videos because it loads them so weird that they end up, it slows
00:16:11.980down your computer because trying to figure out which video it's supposed to load. It starts playing
00:16:15.840even though you want to just be paused. You want the video to load in full, and then you can go to
00:16:21.180full screen mode. But now this is just me ranting about my lack of forethought. But without all being
00:16:26.740said, thank you guys for watching. Like, share, subscribe. Join the YouTube membership for the channel to help it
00:16:32.240be more sustainable for me without having to rely on the YouTube algorithm. And I will see you all next time.
