00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel. 0.96
00:00:06.060 Have no fear, Mark Carney is here to do something even stupider than the current 0.94
00:00:11.800 BC provincial election. Because he's sensing that Canadians' fear of Donald Trump is now 0.97
00:00:18.120 waning once again, he is here to tell us that the US could invade Canada at any moment.
00:00:24.760 This is seriously something that he is trying to put out in the media.
00:00:29.980 And of course, the legacy media is going to play along.
00:00:33.380 Check out this segment from the CBC.
00:00:36.700 Mark Carney says he studied the possibility of a U.S. military attack on Canada.
00:00:41.440 It is unprecedented to hear that publicly from a Canadian prime minister.
00:00:45.680 Carney told this to the New York Times and said it would be irresponsible not to prepare for the worst case scenario, even if it's remote.
00:00:52.980 No, it is irresponsible to say this publicly. 0.84
00:00:58.180 That is absolutely ridiculous fear-mongering.
00:01:03.140 Do you think if the United States really wanted to invade Canada that we could do anything about it? 0.89
00:01:09.800 Now, I'm a Canadian patriot. I love the country.
00:01:12.800 But it's just true that we probably wouldn't win a war against the United States.
00:01:17.160 Mark Carney is saying this just to rile up the elbows-up base once again.
00:01:21.920 and make it seem like there's some existential threat that America could take over Canada
00:01:27.320 unless you keep voting liberal.
00:01:29.660 Voting liberal is what basically constructs the Maginot Line along the border.
00:01:36.100 We are going to compile all of the liberal votes,
00:01:38.660 and it will create this giant fortress around the country that Donald Trump cannot pass over.
00:01:42.900 He'll run up to the border with a fleet of tanks and Humvees and other sort of armored vehicles,
00:01:50.720 and he'll come up to the border and he says wait hold up everyone hold up troops shut up benson
00:01:56.040 we can't cross they voted liberal we're not a we're not allowed to they're just too strong for 0.99
00:02:02.780 us they're too elbows up for us to invade the country it's all just so stupid but before we get 0.93
00:02:09.240 further into the cbc segment i just wanted to remind you guys if you like the show make sure 0.52

00:02:19.780 subscribers on the channel, all to plan out what I'm going to do for the 100,000 subscriber
00:02:25.900 spectacular. I was talking to another YouTuber about it today. And of course, if you want to

00:02:34.960 to allow the channel to be more sustainable for me and allow me to be less reliant on the YouTube
00:02:40.060 algorithm. Anyways, let's get back into this. In the room, when Carney said that scenario,
00:02:45.960 even if it's remote. In the room, when Carney said that, Matina Steves-Gridneff, the Canada
00:02:52.460 Bureau Chief for the New York Times. Matina is with us now. Good morning. Good morning, David.
00:02:57.820 There can be things that are lost when you are not physically in the room. What was that moment like?
00:03:15.960 of us and one of him so just to set the scene a little for for your audience uh
00:03:26.280 you our it was all on the records very well
00:03:30.520 um when we asked him if over the past months thought you know cause mine seriously that there
00:03:38.120 was a risk of the united states using military force against canada the prime minister paused
00:03:45.320 for several seconds i'm talking pregnant pause and took a deep breath and clearly was very uh
00:03:52.120 closely reflecting on exactly the words he was going to use oh of course he was this is so
00:03:57.320 performative this entire segment where we're bringing in this canada bureau chief to tell us 0.95
00:04:02.840 what it was like when they heard mark carney say the dumbest thing they've ever heard and she's 0.69
00:04:07.880 sitting there saying well when it was a wide-ranging conversation but when the topic was brought up 0.77
00:04:13.880 about what would what would canada do if the u.s ever invaded or has he ever contemplated
00:04:19.800 the the the prospect of a u.s invasion of canada car and he looked askance
00:04:26.120 crossed his legs put his hand up to his face closed his eyes for a little bit it was too
00:04:30.440 hard to think about everyone closed his eyes a little bit bit his knuckle it was tough for him
00:04:36.280 a pregnant pause that pause had triplets it was so pregnant and then he looked up and he says i've
00:04:42.600 thought of it i've really thought of it i i all the american troops running over the border and
00:04:48.280 poor canadian boys and girls wearing their plaid jackets not knowing what to do but know what i 0.96
00:04:54.520 have planned for this so we can fight back like what is this garbage this is slop this would be 0.98
00:05:02.520 like this should be on alex jones's show just a conspiracy theory about the united states 0.98
00:05:08.680 military industrial complex taking over the canadian government it's like what the heck the
00:05:15.060 only thing that makes this look somewhat legitimate is the fact that we give the cbc one and a half
00:05:19.920 billion dollars every year in taxpayers funds so they get to look really polished on the surface
00:05:25.200 as they're telling you just liberal conspiracy slop like this so we had a as i said a very uh
00:05:33.440 very meaningful long interview with him and this was really a moment that stood out not only for
00:05:38.200 what he said but also for how he said it and and how he clearly reflected deeply in what he was
00:05:44.660 going to say. I think, Matina, for many Canadians, and you will have a sense of this, there has been
00:05:50.380 that kind of water cooler talk. How might the Americans invade? What are the odds that they
00:05:56.320 actually do it? Have you ever actually had the water cooler talk with your friends at work
00:06:02.080 where they're seriously talking about if the Americans invade and what would that look like
00:06:06.980 and what we would do. If that happened has ever happened to you, walk away slowly from that friend
00:06:12.940 because they are not mentally well. If they think that that is an actual thing that will happen.
00:06:18.820 Donald Trump just signed an agreement with Denmark and Greenland to have more military access. It was
00:06:24.120 all silly. His whole idea of making Greenland part of America was dumb. Trump does this a lot. He 1.00
00:06:29.020 always, you know, asks for the moon and then he settles for what he actually wants, a little more
00:06:33.340 access to military uh you know deployments in greenland and maybe he didn't even really want
00:06:39.120 any of it in the first place he just wanted to flex i don't know he's kind of he can be childish
00:06:43.360 like that but there's no there's no world in which somehow he would leave greenland alone
00:06:50.060 but he would go after canada like he's not doing ether obviously but like really his first on the
00:06:57.900 bucket list of places to invade Canada no not at all but can you underscore for us just how
00:07:05.460 remarkable it is to have a head of government say that for sure I think first of all yes you know
00:07:15.180 water cooler conversation as you said but also the prospect has been in the news media in Canada
00:07:21.380 I specifically recall a Globe and Mail article from January this year which did highlight through
00:07:26.920 sourcing that there was information of such some operational preparations in the army war games
00:07:33.760 as they call them so okay there's a big difference between war games and the actual thing happening
00:07:42.100 and planning for it there's probably war games that go on in every country where they imagine
00:07:47.200 a hypothetical scenario okay what would we do and like really they would all say we're screwed but
00:07:51.860 how it can to last more than five days in that war you know that that happens that's not an actual
00:07:57.520 like real fear that they're going to invade but we keep going back to this ridiculous ask to this
00:08:04.220 bureau chief of saying what was that moment like when they asked that what was it like and it's
00:08:10.580 like what do we care it's a ridiculous thing for mark carney to even bring up as soon as that was
00:08:15.900 brought up to him he should have just said ridiculous the u.s isn't going to invade yeah i 0.80
00:08:20.220 don't like the 51st state jokes. Yeah, I don't really like, you know, how they're trying to
00:08:24.940 economically dominate us. You know, I don't actually think they're trying to do that.
00:08:28.320 But that's what Carney's perspective is. He could have said something like that. That's a far more
00:08:33.080 reasonable perspective to hold, you know, something that's realistic. You know, somebody could maybe
00:08:38.180 believe that the U.S. wants us to be purely reliant on their trade and they don't want us
00:08:41.600 trading with anyone else. Sure. Invasion is ridiculous, but we are pretending that there
00:08:47.680 is meat on the bones here simply because Carney said something. That's literally this entire story. 0.87
00:08:53.620 Carney said something ridiculous. Now we're all going to take it seriously because a head of state 0.90
00:08:57.420 said it. It wasn't just water cooler talk, right? But you're totally right that to have the head
00:09:03.300 of government say this is next level. It is remarkable. I think the prime minister wanted
00:09:09.800 to answer honestly. We did ask him if he had taken and what kind of preparation he had made
00:09:15.620 for this you know extreme scenario and he declined to answer but it is obviously a remarkable thing
00:09:24.400 to say even as the prime minister expressed you know very in a very nuanced way that he had always
00:09:32.580 believed that this was an extremely unlikely scenario. There were so many other issues that
00:09:39.100 you and nine of your colleagues spoke to. If he's acknowledging it's an extremely unlikely scenario
00:09:44.320 then this doesn't actually mean anything it's still a segment where we just want to get the idea
00:09:49.800 in front of histrionic cbc viewers so that they are like never going to stop voting liberal
00:09:55.520 it's not just it's a highly unlikely scenario it's just not going to happen it's just not
00:10:02.160 there's a difference between never going to happen and unlikely the the sky will never turn
00:10:10.860 like green for no reason the you know it's unlikely i'm gonna find 20 walking down the street
00:10:19.860 those are different things it's never going to happen under normal circumstances
00:10:25.760 mark carney about trade of course chief among them um mark carney telling you that he maintains a
00:10:33.720 a good relationship or a relationship with donald trump um did he give you a sense of what it
00:10:41.240 would take to get back to some kind of negotiation the prime minister really i think so first of all
00:10:46.920 he told us he speaks with president trump frequently and he said he has spoken to him
00:10:52.040 a number of times since trade talks collapsed in august he said they have a very direct dialogue
00:10:58.280 he said i'm direct with him he's direct with me this is the best way to be um so he really kind
00:11:03.160 of set set up for us to understand that relationship and he said clearly that there is a good deal to
00:11:10.920 be had between the United States and Canada so what we heard from him was that there is a kind
00:11:17.000 of willingness under the right conditions to go back to that negotiating table and he also quipped
00:11:24.280 all they have to do is respect our sovereignty it's not there that hard we're reasonable people
00:11:29.480 were his exact words
00:11:31.440 now
00:11:32.340 it's so thin though
00:11:34.080 remember he actually shifted the goalposts
00:11:37.040 originally the talks collapsed
00:11:39.240 and he said they're going to have to come to us
00:11:41.100 and then later on he said well as long as they
00:11:43.120 stop the memes that's okay
00:11:45.060 and then we can get back to the table and now he's still doing
00:11:47.100 the whole like well you know we can talk
00:11:49.100 they just have to respect our sovereignty
00:11:51.200 and it's like well what do you mean by that
00:11:52.980 are you saying that like the Lake Ontario
00:11:55.280 name change only for Americans
00:11:57.200 is like 1.00
00:11:59.480 too much we can't talk because of that it's clearly a stupid joke by donald trump and we 0.99
00:12:05.460 will risk losing lots of canadians jobs and having our economy get weaker and our people poorer 0.97
00:12:10.960 because jokes now let's say they went over the border and they captured part of manitoba
00:12:17.100 yeah we're probably not going to talk to them about trade that's ridiculous that didn't happen 0.85
00:12:22.360 but we keep having these dumb reasons not to talk to the americans because
00:12:26.120 Mark Carney cares more about keeping his liberal elbows up base together than actually keeping
00:12:32.360 people's, you know, home finances together, being able to keep a job so that they can sustain
00:12:38.180 themselves and have food in a home. His voters matter more to him, their histrionic hatred for
00:12:44.340 the United States. And that doesn't mean I don't dislike things the United States has done during
00:12:48.260 all this. Of course, I don't like a lot of things that they've done. But the Canadian response from
00:12:53.220 the Liberal government has been all over the place. It's been incoherent. It's not been focused
00:12:58.140 on a real end goal that would be good for Canadians. That is just absolutely tragic.
00:13:04.040 I want to stop watching that CBC segment now because it's dragging quite a bit here because
00:13:08.400 obviously it was just a clickbait reason for them to get people to watch. Oh my goodness,
00:13:13.500 Carney talked about the US possibly invading Canada. And then they got more into the trade
00:13:17.520 talk where they're kind of trying to slow roll Carney getting back to the table because Carney
00:13:22.120 is trying to get back to the table because he knows that you know we can't go without a deal
00:13:26.960 but he always wants to talk tough while he's walking back to the table but we're now going
00:13:31.400 to jump over to a clip of laura babcock on her o show um she is one of my favorite people because 1.00
00:13:38.500 of how measured she is how reasonable she is and when i say that i mean she's extremely insane and 0.90
00:13:43.600 unreasonable there's no partisan goal there's no power goal there's no historic grievance
00:13:50.340 that justifies aiding and abetting this fascist regime that threatens us on the daily.
00:13:56.760 There's none.
00:13:57.620 And they need to take a good hard look in the mirror
00:13:59.540 because we'll be looking at them in the history books,
00:14:02.100 and it ain't going to be pretty, Max.
00:14:04.260 Yeah, no, I agree.
00:14:05.120 And I would...
00:14:06.760 Serious journalist from the National Observer, Max Fawcett here.
00:14:10.560 I love this guy with his urbanite hipster glasses 1.00
00:14:14.160 coming on to speak to this borderline personality disorder woman 0.64
00:14:19.160 about how we're going to remember who aids and abends the fascist regime and anything the liberals
00:14:26.300 have ever done to you is no reason to ever disagree with them right now because they might
00:14:31.720 invade our country she is the prime demographic of that cbc segment about the americans potentially
00:14:38.380 invading canada by the way laura babcock's husband is a cbc producer oh and by the way max fawcett
00:14:44.900 there, who's from the National Observer, is at the paper that has the highest per capita grants
00:14:52.080 and other sorts of media subsidies outside of the CBC. Obviously, the CBC is just majority
00:14:57.900 taxpayer money. The National Observer gets the highest per capita amounts of media subsidies
00:15:04.120 for their amount of viewership and employees. I love these people trying to sound like,
00:15:09.760 you know, objective observers of the, of like the Canadian political situation while they all have
00:15:15.240 like just gobs of money in their back pocket from the federal government. Again, that doesn't mean
00:15:20.300 Carney's always wrong about things or anything like that. I'm never trying to make a case like
00:15:25.380 that. I have a problem with not being able to call balls and strikes on our own government
00:15:31.880 when them messing up has really bad effects for the average Canadian who is struggling right now.
00:15:40.220 Guys, that doesn't mean I would sign any deal the Americans put in front of me.
00:15:43.680 That means we need to focus on what we actually need out of an agreement, not what we would like to have.
00:15:49.760 Carney may have sunk a deal that could have been repaired in something better
00:15:53.160 simply because of things surrounding China, Bill C-11, and Bill C-18, our censorship policies.
00:16:00.120 that was apparently the sticking point for him not the too high tariffs that's a detail for him
00:16:06.880 it doesn't really matter that much he more so cared about sovereignty when it came to our
00:16:11.340 censorship policies and trading with communist china more and now he's going out there and
00:16:15.840 saying well you know the americans are very entwined with china as well it's like okay
00:16:21.060 but they also defend taiwan so what's your point i don't think they should trade as much with china
00:16:25.900 as they do at the same time they kind of pay the hypocrisy tax a little bit but now i want to jump
00:16:30.960 over this clip it was from yesterday actually but kirk lubomov highlighted it here he says
00:16:35.660 does anyone know what the hell he is trying to spit out mark carney and he's transcribed it here
00:16:41.820 but let's listen to it or for let's listen to it for ourselves this was carney yesterday at the
00:16:46.920 united nations uh at uh an important time uh for the international system uh and the world uh by
00:16:54.640 extension. You know, one of the shared challenges today is that we have a multilateral system that
00:17:03.920 if it fails to reflect the realities of the time, won't stand the test of that time.
00:17:10.400 But at the same time, the need for multilateral cooperation is very much alive. The post-war
00:17:16.880 world is uh ending but the underlying logic of that post-war war world the justified multilateral
00:17:24.880 cooperation is more compelling than ever uh at uh so this is the man who's going to defend canada
00:17:31.860 from the americans in case they invade he's the one seriously thinking about it this guy
00:17:36.740 who sounds like incoherent every time he speaks without a script that's the funny thing with him
00:17:42.560 he loves to think he's super eloquent and sophisticated. As soon as he's off script and
00:17:46.940 he gets asked a question, he doesn't want, he falls to pieces. Anyways, with all of that being
00:17:53.920 said, that should be it for me today, guys. If you're in British Columbia, I will be linking
00:17:58.280 the 1BC Party website below. If you guys want to become a member or donate or become a volunteer,
00:18:04.320 you can do all that through the website. We will be trying to field candidates in as many
00:18:09.460 ridings as possible, staying out of the way of some genuine good BC conservatives who are still
00:18:15.140 in the party. But those are very, very few and far between. So we will probably be in the vast
00:18:19.980 majority of ridings. But with all that being said, thank you guys for watching. I'll see you all later.
