00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:03.000 Every time Prime Minister Mark Carney or another Liberal elected official does something stupid,
00:00:09.440 it just highlights once again, we do not currently have a trade deal signed with the United States.
00:00:16.240 Yes, we have the USMCA agreement that is still around,
00:00:19.440 but a significant portion of our trade goods going into the United States are going to be hit with a 35% tariff,
00:00:26.360 including steel and aluminum being tariffed at 25%.
00:00:30.920 We can't have any of that stuff.
00:00:33.380 We can't have, you know, that stuff go tariff-free,
00:00:36.060 but we can have our Prime Minister recognize a terror state in the Middle East
00:00:41.640 and then go to a Pride event in Vancouver and take a photo with a man with a thong.
00:00:47.480 Great, great job, guys.
00:00:49.340 This is fantastic optics in the aftermath of a trade negotiation failure with the US.
00:00:56.700 Something that was eminently doable if we actually negotiated,
00:01:02.180 put something on the table to trade for a zero-tariff environment.
00:01:06.720 Because Canada cannot be offended that the US is putting tariffs on us
00:01:11.260 when we've had tariffs on poultry and dairy products and other goods coming in from the United States.
00:01:18.860 It looks really hypocritical when we start getting mad at a 35% tariff
00:01:23.440 when on certain products there has been a 250% tariff.
00:01:28.160 Yes, that's not all goods, but it kind of does make up for multiple decades of those goods
00:01:33.060 being effectively impossible to try and export into Canada from the US.
00:01:38.480 But today, I want to talk about this particular Pride event that Mark Carney attended.
00:01:45.320 I'm going to get to some of the clips of him that the Liberal Party posted,
00:01:50.100 as well as the now very famous photo of him embracing a man in a thong.
00:01:55.420 Great looks.
00:01:56.300 I'm not going to actually show you that one.
00:01:58.840 I will have a censored version of it because, goodness, I don't think we need that in our lives.
00:02:05.200 But this is the country that we're currently living in.
00:02:08.380 And we also have to talk about the fact the Pride event was protested by the Hamas supporters.
00:02:14.020 So the left is currently fighting the left because they are not left-wing enough.
00:02:19.080 But before we get into it, I just want to remind you guys,
00:02:22.220 hey, if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on this video,
00:02:26.000 subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber.
00:02:28.700 I'm trying to hit 100,000 subscriptions by mid-December of this year,
00:02:32.620 or I owe all my friends dinner.
00:02:34.720 And, of course, leave a comment on what you think about this situation.
00:02:38.240 It helps us on the algorithm, and I like to scroll through and see what people are talking about.
00:02:43.280 Anyways, so let's start off with the protest of this event.
00:02:48.180 Shout out to Jared Yeager from the Western Standard for going out there and collecting all this footage.
00:02:55.080 But the Pride event was protested by the Hamas supporters,
00:02:59.080 and they got into it a little bit because apparently the Pride event is not pro-terrorism enough.
00:03:18.180 You love to see it.
00:03:24.880 This is what we call in the trade an international, or not international, an intersectional car crash.
00:03:32.020 Here is somebody in the crowd complaining about the parade being held up and saying,
00:03:36.120 this isn't solidarity with us.
00:03:38.020 Why are you guys doing this?
00:03:39.320 March with us.
00:03:40.860 You can stop people marching on our parade, but you're blocking us from our parade.
00:03:46.420 You never stop people participating, but you're blocking us now.
00:03:51.480 Shame on all of you.
00:03:52.900 That is not solidarity.
00:03:54.960 So, you know, very exciting stuff happening out in Vancouver.
00:04:10.140 And you wonder why, like, half of the corporate sponsors have all pulled out of funding anything at the Vancouver Pride Parade,
00:04:18.980 as well as the one in Toronto.
00:04:21.060 One, you don't really want your brand being associated with people walking around oftentimes in less than their underwear.
00:04:27.480 And then you also don't really want to be associated with all the left-wing causes.
00:04:32.300 One of my friends, Masha Kleiner, went out to the event,
00:04:35.800 and she was posting photos of all the people holding up signs saying that we need to have more drag queen story hours 1.00
00:04:42.060 and supporting the Soji programming in schools.
00:04:45.520 That's the problem why you don't really want to be associated with this.
00:04:48.620 If you are, you know, Scotiabank or RBC or, you know, you're Verizon.
00:04:54.260 I don't think Verizon's in Canada.
00:04:55.460 Being on my point, tell us.
00:04:56.600 You don't really maybe want to be associated with something like this that's gotten to the point where it's not trying to be unifying in any way.
00:05:04.020 It's just kind of odd and extremely left-wing.
00:05:08.460 One of my, the one of the MLAs I work with at the legislature, Tara Armstrong from the 1BC party,
00:05:15.220 made this statement about it saying British Columbia cut pride in half this year, half the corporate sponsorships, half the length.
00:05:22.540 This is a resurgence of not only family values, but public values.
00:05:26.920 Desire to find common ground in our shared struggle for success and prosperity.
00:05:31.560 To achieve this, we must rise above our basic impulses.
00:05:34.760 We must celebrate our society achievements, not just our personal particularities.
00:05:39.020 Take pride not in who you are, but in what we can do together, which I think is a great statement to make.
00:05:45.140 By the way, if you are in BC, in the description below as well as pinned at the top of the comments,
00:05:50.360 you can go check out the 1BC website if you want to join it.
00:05:52.980 The BC Conservative Party could have been something.
00:05:56.440 Now they are $4.5 million in debt, even if you subtract cash on hand from their total debt.
00:06:02.900 They are deeply in debt.
00:06:04.420 They have shredded half of their platform.
00:06:07.420 They are no longer against Soji in its entirety.
00:06:10.080 They just don't want inappropriate books at the library.
00:06:13.540 Yeah, that's a problem.
00:06:14.660 That's the symptom of the bigger problems within Soji.
00:06:17.680 But they don't want to touch all of Soji.
00:06:18.920 They don't want to touch DRIPA that allows ban councils all over BC to basically block any major project or pipeline that wants to be built.
00:06:27.660 They can block, you know, logging companies.
00:06:29.600 They can block anything.
00:06:31.020 And the BC Conservatives no longer oppose that because that would be tough.
00:06:34.580 You know, they will point at a sign that says, hey, look, the wait times in Fraser Valley emergency rooms are quite long.
00:06:42.480 And then they won't actually elaborate on what we should do about it.
00:06:45.720 And our party, 1BC, actually says, let's slash the bureaucracy, administration, HR, all of DEI.
00:06:53.460 And then what we can do is redistribute that money from administration to front lines.
00:06:58.960 40% of people who work in administration in BC Health are registered nurses.
00:07:04.720 And naturally, some people are in, like, their later stage of their career.
00:07:08.400 They're in their 60s.
00:07:09.240 Yeah, you're not going to return that person to the front lines.
00:07:11.680 But if you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s, and you're working an administrative job that nobody really needs you to do, yeah, you should probably be forced back onto the front lines.
00:07:21.760 And by the way, if we save money, we can also give every single nurse a raise.
00:07:25.900 But now let's move on to Mark Carney.
00:07:28.960 I don't know why you would even put the prime minister in this situation if you are his PR team.
00:07:36.520 I guess they think it makes him look very, like, progressive and, you know, modern or whatever to do this.
00:07:43.420 But the Liberal Party posted, we love your pride, Vancouver.
00:07:47.700 And then they also posted, oh, maybe we won't get to the photo yet.
00:07:52.560 You can see where this is all going, though.
00:07:54.360 But this is the – Drea Humphrey from Rebel News posted this comparison between Mark Carney and Justin Trudeau.
00:08:02.100 And this is what I mean.
00:08:03.400 If you're Mark Carney's PR team, do you not want to disassociate him from similar images of Justin Trudeau?
00:08:13.180 Drea Humphrey from Rebel News says, is that Mark Carney or Justin Trudeau at Vancouver Pride today?
00:08:18.300 Hard to tell with the synchronized virtue signaling.
00:08:21.180 And they're doing – it's not like this is a unique thing.
00:08:24.120 They're just raising their hand and waving to the crowd.
00:08:26.360 But it is uncanny that no matter who the Liberal Prime Minister is, whoever the Liberal Party leader is, they do the same events.
00:08:35.100 And they say the same words about the – it's like, guys, you had an opportunity to have Mark Carney be, like, the kind of stern businessman who, you know, when he's not at work, he goes to his cottage and you never see him.
00:08:47.640 And so he's either at work or at his cottage.
00:08:49.420 Do that.
00:08:50.180 Just have him be some, like, you know, serially unimpressed father figure who, you know, balances the budget and then goes home.
00:08:58.020 Although he's not balancing the budget, we have a $92 billion deficit and no budget at all this year.
00:09:03.460 And apparently we're going to get one in the fall.
00:09:04.820 But, like, why not be, like, the stern, unpleasable father figure and kind of, like, have that big contrast with, like, kind of, like, the goofy weirdo Justin Trudeau?
00:09:14.160 You can't – and it doesn't even work for Mark Carney.
00:09:17.500 I don't like Justin Trudeau, obviously.
00:09:20.580 At the same time, why would you – Justin Trudeau can kind of be a goofball.
00:09:26.080 Even just the way he looks, the way he's willing to act, his energy, he can kind of pull it off.
00:09:32.560 Carney can't.
00:09:33.820 Carney is still dressed like he's just left the office.
00:09:37.620 And Justin Trudeau usually tries to look like somebody who would actually attend one of these things.
00:09:42.500 But now they also posted a video alongside it.
00:09:46.480 And then we're going to get to the photo later.
00:09:48.280 You wonder why they didn't include the photo in any of the other material they put out.
00:09:52.780 I had to mute that.
00:09:58.960 But, yeah, they're showing all the footage of him going around and awkwardly staring at drag queens and waving at people.
00:10:05.960 It's actually an extremely short parade, which is kind of funny.
00:10:09.240 So he's probably there for about five minutes and then left because there's really not much to do anymore.
00:10:13.260 Because, again, corporate sponsors pulled out, which is hilarious.
00:10:16.780 There's so many great initiatives that can't get funding.
00:10:19.880 But this thing, every single year, used to be able to get millions and millions of dollars.
00:10:24.820 But, guys, now it's time for us to bite the bullet and get to the photo.
00:10:30.240 So, yeah, this was a look.
00:10:34.280 You think that if you were his security, how did you not tase this man and, like, deport him before he could get to Mark Carney in the lineup?
00:10:44.540 Yep. So Reuters actually got this photo of Mark Carney embracing a man wearing a thong, which has been tastefully covered up in this photo, looking really awkward.
00:10:57.100 This is like Carney's relationship with supply management in Canada.
00:11:01.000 It's this ugly thing that you don't really want to interact with.
00:11:04.520 But for some reason, Canadian politicians keep defending it.
00:11:07.520 Again, guys, this is the photo in the aftermath of Mark Carney not getting a trade deal signed.
00:11:14.900 We're elbows up, guys.
00:11:16.780 We are full elbows up.
00:11:18.180 We are elbows up touching the back of a gay man wearing a thong for some reason. 0.84
00:11:24.220 I don't know why this was ever allowed to happen for the prime minister.
00:11:29.120 Like, stay away.
00:11:31.200 Don't go to events where people are going to come up and talk to you in which you don't want a photo of it.
00:11:37.520 But again, we don't get a trade deal.
00:11:41.460 We do recognize a Palestinian terror state in the Middle East, which is a great way of sticking our fingers in the eyes of both the Americans and the Israelis who actually do a lot of counterterror activities and who are actually the main parties sending an aid into Gaza to keep people from starving and trying to keep the aid away from Hamas who likes people starving. 0.77
00:12:01.300 You know, we decided to recognize a terror state being run by Hamas, who just today basically celebrated October 7th again, saying that it's worked perfectly and it's gotten all these countries to get on their side. 0.85
00:12:12.520 We have a terror state thanking us.
00:12:14.280 We don't have our economies struggling really hard.
00:12:21.100 Even all of our European trade agreements are completely nothing compared to what the U.S. has gotten with Europe and with Japan and whatnot.
00:12:28.980 They have gotten far better deals with the Europeans than we have. 0.95
00:12:31.960 We've signed some general free trade agreements.
00:12:36.100 The U.S. has signed trade agreements with Europe where they still have to pay a small tariff, but they also are mandated to ship a certain amount or buy a certain amount of U.S. goods every year.
00:12:48.060 That's crazy.
00:12:48.860 They're buying way more military equipment.
00:12:51.120 They're buying way more vehicles from the U.S.
00:12:53.600 The Europe used to never buy U.S. vehicles.
00:12:56.880 And part of the problem was that Europe always had these kind of regulations that were deliberately crafted so that basically no American car could ever meet the standard, like very oddly specific things that were standard to have on a vehicle in the U.S.
00:13:10.000 that don't make them unsafe.
00:13:11.140 But for some reason, they're not safe enough to drive in Europe.
00:13:13.780 And Trump got those taken away.
00:13:15.960 And by the way, there was give and take.
00:13:19.260 Obviously, the U.S. is going to have an easier time negotiating any deal.
00:13:23.480 They're way more powerful than we are, disproportionately so.
00:13:26.900 We have more than 10 percent of their population, but we have less than 10 percent of their economic power.
00:13:31.740 So obviously, they can slap a tariff on the table and make everybody scramble to give them something back.
00:13:37.900 But you know what that is?
00:13:39.080 That's reality.
00:13:40.480 The U.S. has a lot of power.
00:13:42.300 We don't.
00:13:43.080 So the elbows up approach doesn't really do anything for us.
00:13:46.060 And like I said yesterday, we're not even doing elbows up anymore.
00:13:49.940 The government's just pretending nothing happened.
00:13:52.560 Oh, well, you know, we have a tariff applied to us, but most things don't have a tariff applied to them because they're USMCA compliant now.
00:13:59.620 OK, well, it costs money to become USMCA compliant and maintain it.
00:14:04.220 And back before, when we didn't have this massive tariff in place, the tariff for sending non-USMCA approved or a non-USMCA like compliant goods into the U.S., the tariff on those was like 5 to 10 percent.
00:14:17.780 And most companies didn't even bother.
00:14:19.620 So they are signaling that the USMCA compliance was not worth avoiding a 5, 6, 7 percent tariff.
00:14:28.420 And so now that we have a 35 percent tariff in place and the vast majority of companies are trying to become USMCA compliant, we're signaling that at the very least, products have gone up about 7 or 8 percent in cost across the board, even not counting those products that are taking the full 35 percent on the chin or steel and aluminum taking 25 percent.
00:14:51.500 And then we also have oil and gas products taking 10 and 15 percent.
00:14:55.860 And that's not something that you can get away with.
00:14:58.300 It's like that's a blanket tariff on that type of good that you cannot become USMCA compliant in order to avoid.
00:15:05.360 So both things that are getting the 35 percent tariff, steel and aluminum getting 25, oil and gas getting, I think, 10 to 15.
00:15:12.200 And then USMCA stuff are all subject to higher cost.
00:15:16.480 And do you know how we could get out of this?
00:15:18.020 If you actually want to negotiate with Donald Trump, Mark Carney supposedly knows how to negotiate with men like Donald Trump, but he doesn't understand.
00:15:27.860 Do you know how you you actually win in a negotiation with Donald Trump?
00:15:32.680 You make him feel like he won.
00:15:34.560 And that doesn't mean that you just like trick him.
00:15:37.100 You just give him a small little thing.
00:15:39.720 He gets to say that he got a victory out of it.
00:15:41.620 And then we go to zero tariffs or we at least get close to that.
00:15:44.540 At this point, Mark Carney, if he put supply management on the table, he could probably get us basically to zero tariffs because that's the win that Donald Trump's looking for.
00:15:52.760 A lot of farmers, a lot of just just rural communities up in the north or the mid middle of the Midwest of the US would really like him.
00:16:02.020 It would really help him in the midterms.
00:16:03.840 That's all we would have to do.
00:16:05.260 But Mark Carney would have to actually do something good.
00:16:09.940 You'd have to like you'd have to go against one of the liberals main vote banks, which is the supply management voters in Quebec.
00:16:17.540 Some of the supply management voters in the in Ontario as well.
00:16:20.740 These rural farming communities who vote liberal because they are the supply management party, basically artificially propping up their revenues, not only in order, not only by keeping out American products, but by keeping out Saskatchewan, Alberta products, Manitoba products.
00:16:36.820 Again, Alberta gets what has 12% of the population of the country, but only 7% of the quota to the amount of eggs and dairy and chicken that is allowed to come from Alberta is actually be sold on the open market is way under our actual population.
00:16:57.260 Even though Alberta should be thriving when it comes to agricultural output, but Ontario and Quebec have whatever portion of the population they have, and they have disproportionately higher amounts of the quota given to them.
00:17:11.740 And so naturally, it's a system that benefits a very few select farmers who get the maximum amount of the quota that they are allowed to have.
00:17:19.980 And it hurts farmers in Alberta who literally sometimes get arrested for trying to produce out-of-quota milk and egg products.
00:17:28.640 It's stupid.
00:17:30.180 And we won't sacrifice that system in order to get a zero-tariff deal.
00:17:33.840 Supply management sucks for Canada, and if we got rid of it, not only would that immediately help Canada, but it would also get the tariff situation taken care of.
00:17:42.120 But we won't do it, which means that these are fake negotiations.
00:17:45.000 We basically just go there and say, Will, you take the tariffs off pretty, please?
00:17:50.940 We don't offer any—we don't even play hardball.
00:17:53.480 That's the problem.
00:17:54.300 We're both not offering anything, and we're not threatening anything.
00:17:57.780 So where did you think the negotiations were going to go?
00:18:00.660 They were just going to stall because effectively nothing has been said from our side.
00:18:05.080 Well, anyways, that should be it for this video, guys.
00:18:09.120 Tomorrow, I will be back in the nice studio.
00:18:11.380 This is just what the studio looks like sometimes when I'm in Montana.
00:18:15.700 I have a couple different locations in this place that I like to film in.
00:18:19.400 The lighting is not always great, but hopefully it's mostly just my voice that you guys are here for, as crackly as it can be sometimes.
00:18:26.900 But with that being said, remember to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, do all that fantastic stuff.
00:18:32.920 Share the video with your friends.
00:18:34.740 Do what you like.
00:18:35.620 I actually just looked the other day at how many people share the videos.
00:18:38.280 In July, we had like 4,000 people share the videos.
00:18:41.540 I didn't even realize people shared these that often.
00:18:44.060 That's really nice to see.
00:18:45.860 But anyways, see you guys later.
