Mark Carney went to a Pride event with a thong in his hand. The event was protested by Hamas supporters. Corporate sponsors have pulled out of the Vancouver Pride Parade and the Toronto Pride parade because they don't want to be associated with the event.
00:04:56.600You 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.
00:05:04.020It's just kind of odd and extremely left-wing.
00:05:08.460One of my, the one of the MLAs I work with at the legislature, Tara Armstrong from the 1BC party,
00:05:15.220made this statement about it saying British Columbia cut pride in half this year, half the corporate sponsorships, half the length.
00:05:22.540This is a resurgence of not only family values, but public values.
00:05:26.920Desire to find common ground in our shared struggle for success and prosperity.
00:05:31.560To achieve this, we must rise above our basic impulses.
00:05:34.760We must celebrate our society achievements, not just our personal particularities.
00:05:39.020Take pride not in who you are, but in what we can do together, which I think is a great statement to make.
00:05:45.140By the way, if you are in BC, in the description below as well as pinned at the top of the comments,
00:05:50.360you can go check out the 1BC website if you want to join it.
00:05:52.980The BC Conservative Party could have been something.
00:05:56.440Now they are $4.5 million in debt, even if you subtract cash on hand from their total debt.
00:06:14.660That's the symptom of the bigger problems within Soji.
00:06:17.680But they don't want to touch all of Soji.
00:06:18.920They 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.
00:06:27.660They can block, you know, logging companies.
00:07:09.240Yeah, you're not going to return that person to the front lines.
00:07:11.680But 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.
00:07:21.760And by the way, if we save money, we can also give every single nurse a raise.
00:08:03.400If you're Mark Carney's PR team, do you not want to disassociate him from similar images of Justin Trudeau?
00:08:13.180Drea Humphrey from Rebel News says, is that Mark Carney or Justin Trudeau at Vancouver Pride today?
00:08:18.300Hard to tell with the synchronized virtue signaling.
00:08:21.180And they're doing – it's not like this is a unique thing.
00:08:24.120They're just raising their hand and waving to the crowd.
00:08:26.360But it is uncanny that no matter who the Liberal Prime Minister is, whoever the Liberal Party leader is, they do the same events.
00:08:35.100And 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.
00:08:47.640And so he's either at work or at his cottage.
00:08:50.180Just have him be some, like, you know, serially unimpressed father figure who, you know, balances the budget and then goes home.
00:08:58.020Although he's not balancing the budget, we have a $92 billion deficit and no budget at all this year.
00:09:03.460And apparently we're going to get one in the fall.
00:09:04.820But, 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?
00:09:14.160You can't – and it doesn't even work for Mark Carney.
00:09:17.500I don't like Justin Trudeau, obviously.
00:09:20.580At the same time, why would you – Justin Trudeau can kind of be a goofball.
00:09:26.080Even just the way he looks, the way he's willing to act, his energy, he can kind of pull it off.
00:10:34.280You 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?
00:10:44.540Yep. 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.
00:10:57.100This is like Carney's relationship with supply management in Canada.
00:11:01.000It's this ugly thing that you don't really want to interact with.
00:11:04.520But for some reason, Canadian politicians keep defending it.
00:11:07.520Again, guys, this is the photo in the aftermath of Mark Carney not getting a trade deal signed.
00:11:41.460We 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.
00:12:01.300You 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.
00:12:14.280We don't have our economies struggling really hard.
00:12:21.100Even all of our European trade agreements are completely nothing compared to what the U.S. has gotten with Europe and with Japan and whatnot.
00:12:28.980They have gotten far better deals with the Europeans than we have.
00:12:31.960We've signed some general free trade agreements.
00:12:36.100The 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.
00:12:48.860They're buying way more military equipment.
00:12:51.120They're buying way more vehicles from the U.S.
00:12:53.600The Europe used to never buy U.S. vehicles.
00:12:56.880And 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.
00:13:43.080So the elbows up approach doesn't really do anything for us.
00:13:46.060And like I said yesterday, we're not even doing elbows up anymore.
00:13:49.940The government's just pretending nothing happened.
00:13:52.560Oh, 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.
00:13:59.620OK, well, it costs money to become USMCA compliant and maintain it.
00:14:04.220And 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.
00:14:17.780And most companies didn't even bother.
00:14:19.620So they are signaling that the USMCA compliance was not worth avoiding a 5, 6, 7 percent tariff.
00:14:28.420And 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.
00:14:51.500And then we also have oil and gas products taking 10 and 15 percent.
00:14:55.860And that's not something that you can get away with.
00:14:58.300It's like that's a blanket tariff on that type of good that you cannot become USMCA compliant in order to avoid.
00:15:05.360So both things that are getting the 35 percent tariff, steel and aluminum getting 25, oil and gas getting, I think, 10 to 15.
00:15:12.200And then USMCA stuff are all subject to higher cost.
00:15:16.480And do you know how we could get out of this?
00:15:18.020If 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.
00:15:27.860Do you know how you you actually win in a negotiation with Donald Trump?
00:15:34.560And that doesn't mean that you just like trick him.
00:15:37.100You just give him a small little thing.
00:15:39.720He gets to say that he got a victory out of it.
00:15:41.620And then we go to zero tariffs or we at least get close to that.
00:15:44.540At 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.
00:15:52.760A 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.
00:16:02.020It would really help him in the midterms.
00:16:05.260But Mark Carney would have to actually do something good.
00:16:09.940You'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.
00:16:17.540Some of the supply management voters in the in Ontario as well.
00:16:20.740These 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.
00:16:36.820Again, 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.
00:16:57.260Even 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.
00:17:11.740And 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.
00:17:19.980And it hurts farmers in Alberta who literally sometimes get arrested for trying to produce out-of-quota milk and egg products.
00:17:30.180And we won't sacrifice that system in order to get a zero-tariff deal.
00:17:33.840Supply 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.
00:17:42.120But we won't do it, which means that these are fake negotiations.
00:17:45.000We basically just go there and say, Will, you take the tariffs off pretty, please?
00:17:50.940We don't offer any—we don't even play hardball.
