The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney Lost Again - Apologizes to Trump for Reagan ads!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.

00:00:02.640 Well, the inevitable has happened.

00:00:05.020 Prime Minister Mark Carney had to apologize to Donald Trump 0.98

00:00:08.420 for Doug Ford's stupid Ronald Reagan ad that he ran in the U.S. 0.99

00:00:13.260 to the tune of $75 million. 1.00

00:00:16.940 An amount of money that is completely absurd

00:00:20.020 because that isn't even how much money is spent in an Ontario provincial election.

00:00:25.340 That is far more than is spent in an Ontario provincial election

00:00:29.360 when you pool all the money that all the parties spend combined. 0.97

00:00:34.080 That is absolutely ridiculous.

00:00:36.460 Obviously, we were going to have to apologize. 0.86

00:00:39.480 There was no argument to be had with,

00:00:41.480 well, maybe Doug Ford's right about what Ronald Reagan had said

00:00:45.440 and that Trump is in the wrong on tariffs.

00:00:47.780 It doesn't matter.

00:00:49.440 That is what I keep saying about this.

00:00:51.700 People say, well, is Donald Trump wrong to be so protectionist?

00:00:56.080 It doesn't matter.

00:00:57.800 Do I like the tariffs?

00:00:59.480 No.

00:01:00.300 But at the same time,

00:01:01.760 me not liking the tariffs

00:01:03.240 and Doug Ford and Carney and David Evey

00:01:05.920 and all the other premiers not liking the tariffs

00:01:08.000 doesn't actually make an argument.

00:01:10.820 You actually need to negotiate to get to a better deal.

00:01:14.220 And you can't throw barbs

00:01:15.800 when you're the weaker party in the negotiation.

00:01:19.280 I am sorry.

00:01:20.560 Canada does not have the population or economic power of the United States.

00:01:23.740 So the way you are going to get to a win-win scenario

00:01:28.100 is not the same way as if you were on the other side

00:01:31.400 and had a population above 330 million people like the U.S. does.

00:01:36.940 We have a population of around 41, 42 million people.

00:01:40.780 And when you take all the temporary foreign workers out of that,

00:01:43.340 we're like 36 million.

00:01:44.780 Oh, anyways, we are going to get into the tape of Mark Carney apologizing to Trump

00:01:51.500 at a press conference in just a second here.

00:01:54.000 Obviously, Trump was not present, but he was asked about the ads and what had gone on.

00:01:58.060 He then threw Doug Ford under the bus

00:01:59.960 after Doug Ford had previously thrown him under the bus.

00:02:03.520 It's a mess.

00:02:04.560 And we still have British Columbia Premier David Eby

00:02:07.340 planning on running his own anti-Trump ads in the U.S.

00:02:10.680 You know, so we're all incompetent,

00:02:13.400 which means that we are still talking about Canadian politics.

00:02:17.540 Anyways, but before we get into it, guys,

00:02:19.980 one, I'd like to say it's great to be back in the studio.

00:02:22.860 I don't mind shooting my show from hotel rooms,

00:02:25.060 but having the actual nice backdrop is, you know, very much something I enjoy.

00:02:30.020 And I assume that you guys who had not actually subscribed to me

00:02:33.660 before the last week are probably shocked that I actually have production value.

00:02:38.020 But if you want to support the show, make sure to like this video,

00:02:41.200 subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber,

00:02:43.960 hit the notification bell if you are a subscriber.

00:02:46.320 I'll let you know whenever I upload a new video.

00:02:48.660 And of course, leave a comment on what you think about all of this.

00:02:52.000 I assume that you guys will have a lot of your own thoughts.

00:02:55.440 But here is Mark Carney at his press conference today,

00:02:58.660 apologizing to Trump when asked by reporters about it.

00:03:02.520 Thank you, Prime Minister.

00:03:03.640 Well, now we get some questions.

00:03:04.760 We'll do one question and one follow-up.

00:03:06.660 In question, in question, Stevie.

00:03:07.900 First question.

00:03:09.140 Hi, Prime Minister Mackenzie Gray with Global News.

00:03:11.000 Did you apologize to Donald Trump about Ontario's anti-tariff ad?

00:03:14.620 I did.

00:03:15.420 I did apologize to the President.

00:03:17.360 The President was offended by the act, or by the ad, rather.

00:03:21.040 And it's not something I would have done, which is to put in place that advertisement.

00:03:29.920 And so I apologize to him.

00:03:30.960 I'm the one, in English, I'm the one who is responsible in my role as Prime Minister

00:03:45.820 for the relationship with the President of the United States.

00:03:48.740 And the federal government is responsible for the foreign relationship with the U.S. government.

00:03:54.260 So things happen.

00:03:56.500 We take the good with the bad.

00:03:58.040 And I apologize to him.

00:03:59.580 The problem is here, things didn't just happen.

00:04:02.780 It wasn't like somebody accidentally knocked over the candy bowl and things fell on the floor.

00:04:07.620 You don't accidentally, you don't kind of do a bit of an oopsie

00:04:11.480 and run a $75 million anti-Trump attack ad in the U.S.,

00:04:16.080 which is more than many American state elections cost their own parties.

00:04:20.660 This is something that, even if it's Doug Ford who did it,

00:04:25.660 you would have, I would have, if I was Carney, preemptively come out and said, 0.99

00:04:29.380 Ford's planning on running this stupid ad, and I condemn him for it, 0.99

00:04:33.100 even before it hits American airwaves, so people know that this is not you, 1.00

00:04:37.080 and Doug Ford takes it fully on the chin.

00:04:39.680 Doug Ford is responsible for running the ad,

00:04:41.840 but Carney is also responsible for not stopping him,

00:04:44.520 and then kind of being mealy-mouthed about whether or not he supported the ads after the fact.

00:04:49.440 Oh, goodness.

00:04:50.660 Doug Ford said that he viewed the ad with you in advance of it going to air.

00:04:56.080 Since you're the person that's solely responsible for negotiations,

00:04:58.540 did you inform Mr. Ford that this is something that you did not want to go forward with?

00:05:01.620 Yes.

00:05:03.600 Well, you saw what came of it.

00:05:08.700 Yeah.

00:05:09.060 So he just basically blithely tries to pretend like, well, you know, it ended badly,

00:05:14.740 so of course I told him not to do it.

00:05:16.940 Except Doug Ford had effectively said that Carney was fine with it because he never stopped him.

00:05:23.440 So, like, right here, I'll just jump over to a news article from CTV News.

00:05:28.620 And he says, Carney says he told Ontario Premier not to rent anti-tariff ad.

00:05:34.540 Apologize to Donald Trump.

00:05:35.780 No, he didn't tell him not to do it.

00:05:39.520 Do you know how we know he didn't tell him not to do it?

00:05:42.460 Because, again, D.C. Premier David Eby is planning on doing literally the same thing,

00:05:48.660 and we have not gotten a strong condemnation by Mark Carney.

00:05:52.900 We have not gotten the federal liberals to even release a press paper saying that they don't support this.

00:05:59.700 This was David Eby just a little bit ago.

00:06:03.580 I just had to bring it up on screen.

00:06:05.060 This was at a press conference that I was actually present for since I worked for the 1BC party in the legislature,

00:06:09.720 and I helped record some of the happenings.

00:06:13.000 This was Eby standing next to Randeep Sarai, a liberal MP and federal attorney general,

00:06:21.440 Sean Fraser, announcing that, yes, he's going to rerun his own ads, and he supports Doug Ford's ads.

00:06:25.820 The entire idea behind Premier Ford's advertising campaign, although I acknowledge ours was of a decidedly different scale,

00:06:34.680 is to get the message out to Americans about the impact of tariffs on Americans.

00:06:40.100 The only people paying the additional 10% that the president announced the other day are Americans.

00:06:45.580 Their prices are going to go up.

00:06:47.960 They are going to feel the impact directly.

00:06:50.820 And getting that message to Americans as well as American decision makers is crucial.

00:06:54.680 We are going to exercise all of our ability to get the word out, including advertising to Americans.

00:06:59.640 We reserve the right to do that.

00:07:01.180 And we recognize that we're part of a team.

00:07:03.420 So with that, I'm very much looking forward to our emergency meeting with the federal government.

00:07:08.940 But again, he was there with federal officials.

00:07:13.340 Carney and his people have known that David Eby has been talking about this for more than a week.

00:07:17.320 Like, where is the condemnation?

00:07:19.520 Say, don't run it.

00:07:20.700 Stop, like, messing around.

00:07:22.700 I'm trying to negotiate a serious deal.

00:07:25.020 Although we all know that Mark Carney is not actually trying to negotiate a serious deal.

00:07:29.660 If you hadn't heard me say it before, I'm going to repeat it now.

00:07:33.060 Carney is so incompetent in this trade deal negotiation that he has literally drawn red lines, metaphorically,

00:07:40.860 around topics that his own trade representatives are not allowed to bring up.

00:07:45.160 So when Dominic LeBlanc and Melanie Jolie go down to the U.S. to talk trade with the Americans,

00:07:51.820 they are not allowed to talk about supply management.

00:07:54.640 They are not allowed to talk about Canadian media laws.

00:07:57.720 They are not allowed to talk about other duties that Canada has on other products.

00:08:01.100 And so it means that the negotiations can't really go anywhere because the Americans have 0.97

00:08:06.540 made it clear that they would like to see our supply management system at least softened

00:08:10.780 so that their dairy producers, that their poultry producers can sell into the Canadian market.

00:08:16.460 And I understand there are some people who are going to say, well, that's unfair.

00:08:20.040 We can't let the Americans into our market because they have different dairy standards or they 1.00

00:08:24.500 subsidize their dairy farms.

00:08:26.500 So it doesn't really, it's not fair.

00:08:28.940 I've seen that.

00:08:30.080 I have researched it.

00:08:31.100 It's not quite true.

00:08:32.800 I don't even, I don't like ultra pasteurized dairy products, but if you want to, you could

00:08:37.680 always have a Canadian standard that American products can only come into Canada if they

00:08:41.640 meet the Canadian standard.

00:08:43.280 That's fine.

00:08:44.760 But Canadian companies also receive subsidization, both direct subsidies and indirect subsidies.

00:08:51.280 In fact, the Canadian dairy farmers may actually get higher subsidies than the American

00:08:56.200 ones, especially with the floor that is placed on dairy and poultry prices.

00:09:01.080 What it means is that you have must buy dairy for a specific price at the supermarket that

00:09:07.660 would never be accepted in the United States where milk prices can go much lower than they

00:09:12.220 are in Canada.

00:09:13.620 Anyways, but now that I'm done with all that, we need to move on to another aspect of all

00:09:18.920 this.

00:09:19.240 Actually, I will maybe even bring up a clip of one BC questioning the forest minister in

00:09:25.080 British Columbia's legislature a bit later in this video.

00:09:28.220 Tara Armstrong, our house leader, went after Ravi Parmar because the BC government has been 0.54

00:09:33.760 loving this Trump trade situation because BC's economy sucks right now.

00:09:38.440 And it's because of bad domestic government policies.

00:09:42.080 It has nothing to really do with Trump and the Americans.

00:09:45.000 Does it hurt us more?

00:09:46.700 Sure.

00:09:47.400 But if we had a functioning economy in British Columbia, if the taxes were lower, if the 0.99

00:09:51.880 regulations were lower, if they got rid of stupid policies like RIPA, the one, the 0.97

00:09:56.540 Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, which holds up major projects, it would 0.99

00:10:00.800 be a much better economy.

00:10:01.860 And the Trump tariffs would just be considered an annoyance.

00:10:05.560 The reason why the forest industry is being really hurt badly by the tariffs in BC is

00:10:11.060 because the BC government has already been kicking the forest industry in the ribs for

00:10:15.940 the past decade.

00:10:17.260 And now the tariffs could actually risk sinking the rest of the industry.

00:10:21.900 Literally, since the NDP got in in British Columbia, the forest sector has fallen 43%.

00:10:28.080 And now they're going to try and blame Donald Trump for tariffs that he's only implemented

00:10:32.300 in the past few months. 0.97

00:10:33.600 It's ridiculous.

00:10:35.520 But before I move on to all that, guys, we need to check in with our friends over at

00:10:41.160 Laura Babcock's podcast.

00:10:43.380 Because didn't you guys know that all of this really shows you that pure poly is a bad guy.

00:10:49.820 I love Laura Babcock's show, The O Show, because they are so nakedly artisan.

00:10:58.080 They are so liberal that it doesn't matter what happens, it's always pure poly is fault,

00:11:03.300 or it always proves that poly would be worse.

00:11:05.700 In this clip, this guy from a show nobody watches who Laura is having on is arguing that

00:11:11.280 actually poly is bad.

00:11:13.440 That's that's what this whole trade situation has uncovered is that poly is bad.

00:11:18.060 Pierre is still of the position that he would have negotiated something already.

00:11:22.660 Sure.

00:11:23.140 That it had tariff free.

00:11:23.920 And Canada, listen to me very carefully, the only tariff free deal that was ever on the

00:11:29.740 table was 51st statehood.

00:11:32.240 So if Pierre says he would have negotiated a tariff free deal and we'd have it done already,

00:11:35.960 what does that mean?

00:11:37.580 So yeah, these people are out of their minds.

00:11:42.100 Not only are they trying to say that pure poly wouldn't have been able to sign a better

00:11:46.700 deal, which could be true, could not be true.

00:11:48.580 This actually means that Polyev is secretly in favor of the 51st state because he has

00:11:53.760 decided in his mind that's the only zero tariff agreement.

00:11:57.320 I'm not even sure Polyev exactly promised a zero tariff agreement.

00:12:01.040 That's the ideal.

00:12:02.380 But he wants a zero tariff agreement.

00:12:04.880 And in fact, that's a bad thing.

00:12:06.720 Actually, being good at negotiations is bad because we have arbitrarily decided on this podcast

00:12:12.420 with maybe like a thousand listeners per episode, that that would then result in the 51st state.

00:12:19.460 Again, if Carney signs a deal, like, of course, they'll say it's possible for Carney to sign a

00:12:26.420 zero tariff deal because he's so great.

00:12:28.240 But if Polyev does it, that means you're still, that means it's bad because he's somehow pleasing

00:12:33.940 Trump in some way.

00:12:35.000 Here's another clip of Laura Babcock.

00:12:38.200 I love it so much.

00:12:38.940 I have to keep going back to her.

00:12:40.040 Oh, he's so sad and so surprised that Canadians are fully energetic about the U.S.-Canadian

00:12:44.840 relationship because your country threatened us, Ambassador, threatened our economy, threatened 0.99

00:12:49.620 our sovereignty.

00:12:50.720 And when you assured us that the 51st state thing was going to go away, it didn't.

00:12:54.400 You're not diplomatic.

00:12:55.840 I'm not diplomatic, but I don't pretend to be one as a day job.

00:12:58.780 So I highly recommend go back to whatever you were doing before Trump tapped you for this

00:13:02.500 gig.

00:13:03.180 Let Canada work with someone who understands the righteous anger of Canadians against the Trump

00:13:08.460 regime.

00:13:08.800 Who could wonder how the liberals are able to still maintain a government with people like

00:13:14.560 that supporting them?

00:13:15.780 There are so many people who doesn't matter what happens.

00:13:19.200 They are on side with the liberals no matter what.

00:13:22.060 And it is quite embarrassing over time.

00:13:24.840 Yeah.

00:13:25.040 Laura Babcock.

00:13:25.900 Hopefully someday she finds the lithium that rolled under her couch that she's supposed to 0.81

00:13:29.780 have been taking all these years.

00:13:31.160 You know, good luck to her. 1.00

00:13:36.920 You can tell that her husband is a producer at the CBC.

00:13:40.760 It's very transparent here.

00:13:43.060 But and this is where I wanted to quickly jump over to the logging question that that was

00:13:48.900 presented in the B.C.

00:13:50.920 legislature.

00:13:51.480 But we're now in a situation where Donald Trump, even after the apology, because the

00:13:56.040 apology obviously was not just issued this morning.

00:13:58.980 Carney just confirms that he had issued it previously.

00:14:01.800 We're not even back to the negotiating table yet.

00:14:04.320 And these people are still gormless enough to not realize what the game that Trump was

00:14:08.820 playing.

00:14:09.360 And I'm not saying it's a bad game.

00:14:10.700 I'm not saying it's a good game, because, again, it doesn't matter what I think.

00:14:15.020 What matters is what is the reality?

00:14:18.180 Trump knows every time he flips the table and the Reagan ad was a very good excuse to

00:14:21.920 flip the table that Carney is not only going to apologize, but he's going to give them

00:14:25.980 a concession before they actually start negotiating again.

00:14:29.000 Carney's already done that.

00:14:30.100 He's going to get to five percent defense spending.

00:14:32.260 He is going to then also invest a hundred billion dollars more into the U.S.

00:14:37.780 Oh, and then what's the third thing he's going to give him?

00:14:39.820 He's already walked back the DST and the DST was bad. 1.00

00:14:43.600 Digital services tax was stupid. 1.00

00:14:45.560 It was a bad tax. 1.00

00:14:47.480 And there was a lot of other things that we've had to do.

00:14:50.180 What are we going to have to do now?

00:14:51.580 Because they still won't learn the lesson that every time they say or do something rhetorically 0.99

00:14:55.760 stupid, the Americans get to extract a new concession. 0.99

00:14:59.160 And again, I'm not saying that that's right or wrong. 1.00

00:15:01.380 Maybe from the American perspective, that's the ideal thing to do. 0.98

00:15:04.400 Get as many concessions as possible.

00:15:06.560 But from Canada's perspective, you should be trying to avoid 0.87

00:15:09.560 these rhetorical moments where you give him an excuse to try and demand a new concession.

00:15:14.420 Because at the end of the day, Trump is not going to do it without an excuse because

00:15:19.420 or else all the other countries would think that he might do it to them.

00:15:22.880 If he says it's because the Reagan ad, it's not like Japan thinks he's going to suddenly

00:15:26.340 flip the table and demand a concession from them because they're not doing that.

00:15:30.220 But anyways, now I need to show you guys this clip that came out of the BC legislature the

00:15:37.320 other day with our one BC house leader, Tara Armstrong.

00:15:40.820 It's this is the real reason why you have the BC government trying to run anti-Trump ads. 0.96

00:15:46.760 They are looking for an excuse for why they suck at their job so much.

00:15:50.420 I love this exchange because obviously I got to watch it live when it happened.

00:15:55.320 Tara Armstrong, basically this is on supplemental, goes after the government for having ruined 1.00

00:16:00.240 our own forest sector and is attempting to blame Donald Trump.

00:16:03.600 And when it comes back to Ravi Parmar, the forest minister, to justify himself,

00:16:08.540 he just rambles on and on because he cannot actually justify the bad policy the government

00:16:14.380 has implemented on its own economy.

00:16:17.460 The member has a supplemental.

00:16:24.300 You know, it's a funny thing.

00:16:26.220 Donald Trump can't destroy our forest industry because the premier already has.

00:16:31.360 In fact, he's beaten it to death.

00:16:33.640 This government has destroyed this once mighty industry.

00:16:37.780 It's so bad that paper mills in Port Alberni are importing fibre from, you guessed it, the United States.

00:16:44.860 In the name of reconciliation, this government is refusing to issue cutting permits necessary

00:16:51.620 to keep mills open.

00:16:54.020 While BC's allowable cuts decline, our neighbours over in Alberta have increased theirs by close

00:17:00.400 to 50% over the past couple of decades.

00:17:05.140 My question, will the minister commit to increasing the allowable cut?

00:17:09.360 The allowable cut is basically what is cut every year.

00:17:16.200 Because the sawmills, the logging companies, will just cut what they're allowed to and they have to stop.

00:17:21.240 And that has gone from like, what was it a few years ago?

00:17:24.380 They used to be doing like 63 million cubic, like whatever it is, whatever the unit is.

00:17:33.220 They've gone down 43% because of the cut rates going down.

00:17:36.780 In fact, a lot, in major part, because of bad Indigenous policy.

00:17:42.800 Minister.

00:17:43.980 Minister Speaker, Forestry 101, I think it's an important thing for all members of the House.

00:17:49.140 The government does not increase the annual allowable cut.

00:17:52.260 The independent chief forester sets the annual allowable cut.

00:17:55.960 Who appoints him?

00:17:57.560 Who appoints the independent chief forester?

00:18:00.160 Now that they've been called out for trying to blame Trump for their own policies, he's like, no, it's not our policies.

00:18:05.940 It's the guy we hired to implement the policies. 0.99

00:18:09.160 It's absolutely pathetic. 0.98

00:18:11.300 Ravi Parmar is truly bad at politics. 1.00

00:18:13.880 This guy has the political timing of a bowling ball going through a plate glass window.

00:18:18.560 What I will do, Mr. Speaker, is work across government with all of my colleagues,

00:18:24.160 Minister of Waterland and Resource Stewardship, the Minister of Environment,

00:18:27.380 to ensure that we can move forward on a major project that the Premier has set.

00:18:32.120 And that is to ensure that we can have a strong, sustainable forest sector that produces a harvest

00:18:36.960 that creates jobs and prosperity in every corner of this province.

00:18:42.100 It's been literally going down for the entire seven years the government has been in.

00:18:45.940 Doing that on the coast, where we have seen a significant reduction of raw logs leaving our communities

00:18:52.660 and jobs leaving our community.

00:18:55.300 As an example, when we took government, over 6 million cubic metres worth of logs were leaving

00:19:02.280 our province every single year.

00:19:04.400 That's enough logs to build over 100,000 homes.

00:19:09.020 Those numbers have gone down considerably since we took office.

00:19:12.440 Another example in the interior, we are investing in value-added...

00:19:15.660 Does he think that's a good thing?

00:19:18.580 Is he, like, proud that, like, we're not exporting as much?

00:19:22.100 Like, what is he actually trying to get on about here?

00:19:24.360 This is why I need to show you this, guys.

00:19:26.020 I know forestry is not exactly the most, you know, flashy topic to discuss. 0.85

00:19:31.540 These people are complete frauds, though.

00:19:33.620 And this isn't a great example of just the lack of brainpower behind the average NDP minister 0.97

00:19:40.180 in British Columbia.

00:19:41.100 And it's not much better federally with the Liberals.

00:19:44.080 ...manufacturing.

00:19:45.480 In my colleague from Castlegar's writing, we have a first-of-its-kind mass-timber modular

00:19:52.660 housing facility, the first-of-its-kind in North America, here in British Columbia.

00:19:58.500 Oh, wow.

00:19:59.180 We're going to build people tiny homes with the lack of wood that we're cutting down.

00:20:03.040 That's great.

00:20:03.760 That's fantastic.

00:20:04.520 I hope Brookfield makes a lot of money on it.

00:20:07.260 Anyways.

00:20:08.460 That should be it for this video, guys.

00:20:10.120 I will be back with another one either later today or tomorrow.

00:20:13.280 Thanks for tuning in.

00:20:14.480 It's great to be back on the normal set.

00:20:17.020 And I will see you guys all later.

00:20:19.180 ...
