00:00:00.000 This is utterly insane.
00:00:02.860 So Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Liberal government are not doing so hot right now.
00:00:09.180 It's no secret, just look at the economic metrics.
00:00:12.480 Food inflation is up 6.2%, our economic growth is completely stagnant, and our per capita incomes continue to slide.
00:00:21.220 And so what is Mark Carney and the Liberal Party doing in order to correct course
00:00:26.360 so that if an election happens in 2026, people would actually want to vote for them?
00:00:30.820 Are they lowering taxes?
00:00:33.000 Are they, you know, trying to reform some of the policies of the old Trudeau government
00:00:37.160 in order to get pipelines built and get mines started?
00:00:40.840 Well, no, they're not even going to try and fulfill any of the promises they made in the last federal election.
00:00:46.180 They are going to blow up Canada's relationship with the United States.
00:00:50.860 This is their actual re-election plan, I am not exaggerating.
00:00:54.880 The Carney Liberals want to create a patriotism trap by getting into as many heady, stupid fights
00:01:01.920 with President Donald Trump and the Americans as humanly possible.
00:01:05.860 The patriotism trap goes like this.
00:01:09.160 Carney and the Liberal government are going to get into conflicts with Trump and the Americans.
00:01:14.500 And by doing so, if a snap election happens this year, well, you have to vote for them
00:01:19.420 because if you don't, it's like you're saying Trump is right.
00:01:22.320 Now, Trump is right about a ton of things, but there are a lot of Canadians who just don't
00:01:26.680 like America and they will vote for the incumbent government to back up Carney against Donald
00:01:31.720 Trump, even though Trump has nothing to do with Canadian domestic politics.
00:01:37.100 Yes, Trump and the Americans are a foreign policy issue, but every country is a foreign
00:01:41.220 policy issue.
00:01:42.360 And at the end of the day, Canada really needs to focus on the fundamentals.
00:01:45.660 You know, get our economy out of the gutter, you know, reverse mass immigration, build up 1.00
00:01:51.120 a proper military.
00:01:52.260 That has nothing to do with how much Mark Carney thumbs his nose at Donald Trump.
00:01:57.060 But this is the world we currently live in.
00:01:59.580 We are going to shred our reputation with our biggest trade partner, the country we share
00:02:05.020 the longest undefended land border with on the planet.
00:02:08.400 But because Carney wants a majority, he doesn't like accountability, he just wants to be able
00:02:14.200 to shove legislation through, you know, legislation that he could probably get buy-in from the
00:02:19.600 other parties with, it was actually good, but that's tough.
00:02:22.840 So he doesn't want to do that.
00:02:24.080 He just wants a majority government and he's going to literally make Canadians poorer by getting
00:02:28.560 into fights with the Americans in order to do so.
00:02:31.380 And some people may eat it up.
00:02:32.900 I want to take you through some of Carney's speech he did before the liberal cabinet retreat.
00:02:37.900 And I'm also going to talk about some of the things that Trump and his administration has
00:02:41.460 talked about.
00:02:42.520 But before I get into it, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the channel, make sure

00:03:15.200 You don't get any exclusives other than I might actually comment back at you more often.
00:03:19.600 If I've never commented back at you guys, by the way, it's not because I'm ignoring you.
00:03:23.120 It's because some videos have like 2000 comments and I just do like a couple dozen or so
00:03:28.160 to try and make sure I'm at least getting back to some comments.
00:03:31.380 I try and get back to like unique ones and not just to the same comment because, you know,
00:03:35.580 2000 comments later, eventually there's like a bit of a through line of what most of the
00:03:40.020 comments are.
00:03:40.840 But anyways, now let's get into it.
00:03:44.100 So I want to start off with this truth social post from President Donald Trump.
00:03:49.360 He says here,
00:03:50.520 Dear Prime Minister Carney, please let this letter serve to represent that the Board of
00:03:56.000 Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada's joining.
00:04:00.180 What will be the most prestigious board of leaders ever assembled at any time?
00:04:04.420 Thank you for your attention to this matter.
00:04:06.680 Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America.
00:04:10.060 I always like his insistence in putting all caps somewhere in his posts.
00:04:13.060 But a lot of Canadian liberal partisans will say, well, this doesn't matter.
00:04:18.900 It's Trump throwing a tantrum.
00:04:20.720 Who cares?
00:04:21.460 It's like, okay, well, we arrived at this place, not because Canada was just sitting
00:04:26.540 there twiddling our thumbs and the Americans came by and slapped us on the back of the
00:04:30.020 head.
00:04:30.300 It's because Carney is partnering with China in a way that's not just trying to create
00:04:36.220 a better trade deal, but we're going to keep our distance.
00:04:38.700 No, we want to integrate on a security level, on a cultural level with the CCP.
00:04:44.680 Carney is attempting to undermine the Americans.
00:04:47.240 And you could say, well, it's Canada.
00:04:49.360 We should be allowed to do whatever we want.
00:04:51.900 Sure, I guess we're allowed to.
00:04:53.620 We live in a bit of a libertarian international order where any country can do whatever it
00:04:58.520 wants.
00:05:00.200 But, well, we shouldn't be getting in bed with the Chinese in the first place. 1.00
00:05:04.720 And that has consequences like people who are at odds with the Chinese not liking that.
00:05:09.700 Now, I've seen stupid posts from people like Rupa Supramania saying, oh, well, Trump's tried
00:05:15.620 to sign a deal with the Chinese over trade, and now Carney doesn't and conservatives are
00:05:20.200 mad.
00:05:20.820 It's like, well, yeah, because we didn't just sign a trade deal.
00:05:24.620 We want to integrate our security networks with them.
00:05:28.100 We want to have closer ties in cultural matters.
00:05:31.500 We're ignoring the fact they lock up our people.
00:05:34.160 They interfere in our elections.
00:05:35.400 They steal our intellectual property.
00:05:37.160 Trump and the Americans negotiate with the Chinese from a place of strength.
00:05:42.120 And that's not exclusive to big countries like the United States.
00:05:45.180 We could do it, too.
00:05:46.680 But Carney just went and begged.
00:05:48.580 He capitulated for no reason.
00:05:51.200 And so, yes, the Americans don't have a great view of us at the moment.
00:05:55.100 And then after Mark Carney's stupid speech at the World Economic Forum, obviously Trump was
00:06:00.640 not going to have a great impression.
00:06:02.200 That's why he shredded Carney on stage and said that he's better, you know, watch himself,
00:06:06.780 watch what he says, considering that he's been flipping the bill.
00:06:10.160 The Americans have been flipping the bill for Canada security for a very long time.
00:06:14.660 Canada gets a lot of passive benefits from the Americans.
00:06:17.860 And it's not anti-patriotic to say that.
00:06:20.900 It's just the reality that when you're a country of around 40 million people next to a country
00:06:25.620 of around 340 million people, that tends to come with a lot of passive benefits for you,
00:06:31.200 like a massive market to trade in, like a massive ally to protect you, like, you know,
00:06:36.780 a lot of security, a lot of intel, a lot of other sort of benefits that the American military
00:06:41.900 intelligence service ends up passing to Canada.
00:06:45.800 But whatever.
00:06:46.660 Apparently, Trump has been rude to us.
00:06:49.040 And this means that Canada should just shred our entire relationship with the United States.
00:06:54.600 I want to take you guys through some of these clips.
00:06:57.000 They're absolutely insane, the sorts of things that Carney is saying here.
00:07:00.420 Here's a minute and a half clip that Carney and the liberals posted themselves, because
00:07:05.960 I always like using their own clips, because they think this looks good.
00:07:11.000 Now, there might be an appeal to a certain type of liberal in these speeches.
00:07:14.360 But if any business liberals are out there, people who care about the economy, who care
00:07:19.820 about having a good relationship with the United States, you cannot vote for this, or
00:07:24.140 else you're basically saying, let's basically create a wall between Canada and the United
00:07:28.580 States and let the Chinese in through the back door. 1.00
00:07:31.820 Tout à l'en de l'histoire de notre pays.
00:07:33.760 Oh, I don't want the French version.
00:07:36.440 Oh, my goodness.
00:07:37.180 I hate when I get clips and then it becomes the, we have the French version first.
00:07:40.980 Lorsque les Québécois en chambre.
00:07:44.360 Okay, we're going to go to a different version of the clip.
00:07:48.640 There we go.
00:07:50.740 I always hate when the liberals do that.
00:07:52.280 They don't even make the title of the video French, but then the entire comment is French.
00:07:56.600 What makes Canada a great country?
00:07:59.400 It's a great country for everyone.
00:08:02.260 It's the greatest country in the world to be a regular person.
00:08:06.520 You don't have to be born rich or to a landed family here.
00:08:11.620 You don't have to be a certain color or worship a certain God.
00:08:17.480 Have you ever been to British Columbia where you definitely need to be First Nations in order 1.00
00:08:21.400 to get certain projects approved?
00:08:22.800 Canadians believe in the value of every other Canadian, their boundless potential to make this great country even better.
00:08:32.260 Our ancestors, despite their differences, believed in each other and in us.
00:08:36.940 Now, there are long periods of history where these values can prosper unchallenged.
00:08:45.400 Ours is not one of them.
00:08:47.540 Our values must be fought for.
00:08:50.940 That's what we are doing.
00:08:52.820 That's what Canadians want.
00:08:56.160 Canadians are up for it.
00:08:58.400 Now, notice that we just signed a deal with the Chinese.
00:09:03.000 We're not fighting for our values against the communists.
00:09:06.540 We're fighting for our values against the implied enemy of the United States because he did name check the United States in this speech.
00:09:13.160 We have to get to some of these absolutely insane parts where he starts saying stuff that honestly makes him sound like he's Michael Scott from The Office,
00:09:22.160 where it's like, you know, Canada is prosperous because we're Canadians.
00:09:26.180 Here's this line where he's obviously attacking the United States.
00:09:30.740 Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and in rich cultural exchange.
00:09:41.040 But Canada doesn't live because of the United States.
00:09:47.180 Canada thrives because we are Canadian.
00:09:55.600 I'm sorry, but that's vapid and stupid.
00:09:58.640 Canada thrives because we are Canadian.
00:10:01.820 It's like, well, World War I and World War II called, and we wouldn't exist probably without the United States.
00:10:07.820 And I'm not saying that we need to just be bending the knee constantly, just constantly just praising them for all the stuff they do.
00:10:15.100 But let's have a little bit of humility here.
00:10:17.780 We can even think some of these things.
00:10:19.500 Say, oh, Canada genuinely does have a lot of its own value and a lot of its own unique capacity for achievement that even the United States doesn't have.
00:10:27.600 Every country has unique positives that they have that pretty much nobody else has.
00:10:32.480 But these speeches are to try and poke the U.S. in the eye because Carney wants a majority, and he wants it to be that if you don't vote for him, it's like you don't really like being Canadian.
00:10:43.560 It's like you don't get it.
00:10:45.360 And maybe you're just a secret, disgusting, mega American, some Trump supporter.
00:10:51.180 It's like, well, if Trump was Canada's prime minister, by the way, he would actually probably do things that were really popular.
00:10:59.820 You know, our economy wouldn't suck.
00:11:01.560 That's the funny thing.
00:11:03.020 Trump's personality does rightfully rub many people the wrong way.
00:11:06.660 I tend to look past it because I don't get too emotional about things that happen in politics.
00:11:11.240 Yeah, he says some dumb stuff.
00:11:12.600 He also says some good stuff.
00:11:13.840 But if you just transplanted his policies into some random generic Canadian politician and made them prime minister, that person would be wildly popular because the economy would be doing great.
00:11:25.760 The crime would be going down.
00:11:27.840 We would be getting a lot of stuff done.
00:11:29.580 The health care system would get reformed.
00:11:31.880 But no, we got to we got to sit here and just talk about what Canada is great because we're Canadian or whatever.
00:11:36.080 And goodness, can the guy not wipe that spot off the side of his mouth before he speaks?
00:11:43.840 Oh, it's just going to go into the French of it all. 0.99
00:11:54.980 But like, again, why are we doing this?
00:11:57.740 And it's not because it's not benefiting us in terms of our like it's this is not making us like actually have a better relationship with the United States, make it more likely we're going to get a trade deal signed.
00:12:07.520 He is now in the era of his prime ministership where he is trying to not it's not just that he doesn't care.
00:12:13.280 We've gone from I'm the Trump whisperer.
00:12:17.060 I've dealt with him before.
00:12:18.040 I'm going to get a deal signed to, well, give me a few extra months.
00:12:21.240 Give me until the end of July.
00:12:23.120 And then we went to the who cares era.
00:12:25.400 And now we're in the era where he literally doesn't want the deal signed, because if he gets the deal signed, then he's going to look like a sellout phony.
00:12:33.240 And he wants to seem as anti-American as possible because he thinks that will drive people to vote for him.
00:12:38.700 Now, there's when I said that this could blow up in his face.
00:12:41.320 I believe I said it.
00:12:42.200 Sometimes I restart recording so often.
00:12:43.920 I forget if that something I said was from a take that I messed up or it was this one.
00:12:47.840 I think it was this one.
00:12:48.920 This could blow up in the liberals' face because they are attempting to do the thing that you never do in war.
00:12:55.980 And I tend to compare war and politics together a lot.
00:12:59.280 You never go and retrace your steps.
00:13:02.240 You never come back to the exact same location in the exact same manner that you did.
00:13:06.860 And effectively, the liberals rolled their tanks through this territory last time trying to beat the conservatives by doing this patriotism play back in 2025.
00:13:17.420 And now they're going down the same road.
00:13:19.640 And although I would say they are doing it skillfully, the thing is that Polyev and the conservatives could easily ambush them on this issue.
00:13:26.260 And I'm going to get to Polyev a little later.
00:13:28.040 I actually think he's making a genius maneuver right now in order to put the, basically, make the patriotism trap end up ensnaring Carney himself.
00:13:39.180 But now let's just get to this post I just want to talk about.
00:13:42.240 Because, of course, Laura Babcock loves this.
00:13:44.480 The Liberal Party posted this yesterday, and it's literally his quote.
00:13:49.160 Canada doesn't live because of the United States.
00:13:51.000 Canada thrives because we are Canadians.
00:13:53.180 We are masters in our own home.
00:13:54.840 It's our country.
00:13:55.580 It's our future.
00:13:56.200 We decide what happens here.
00:13:58.380 We choose to build a bright future worthy of the group of the ground on which we stand.
00:14:03.560 It's like he's discount JFK if he was also wrong about everything.
00:14:10.400 But we have Laura Babcock here saying, Prime Minister Mark Carney fires back at Trump and sounds even more the statesman.
00:14:19.040 No.
00:14:20.180 Guess what?
00:14:20.760 Even if Trump was the one who exactly started this.
00:14:23.040 And some people say, well, it started back when he put tariffs on us.
00:14:25.680 Well, we had tariffs on him before that.
00:14:28.220 My point is it doesn't matter who started it.
00:14:30.880 A statesman knows when to not throw a punch.
00:14:34.060 Knows when to just settle it back a little bit.
00:14:36.720 He's not settling it back because this is a cynical play to try and get people to rally around the incumbent government.
00:14:42.860 Because if you don't, then you're like, you're basically like Donald Trump.
00:14:45.840 Here's another post I just want to talk about.
00:14:50.640 So we had this random euro complaining about something that Trump said because Trump said that we never needed NATO.
00:14:57.540 You can just see the clip playing below right here.
00:14:59.380 It says, Juergen Nodet here says, the U.S. has the most disgusting, deceitful, narcissistic, and corrupt president of all time.
00:15:07.160 We never needed NATO, Trump declares.
00:15:09.360 It's like, well, yeah, because like America still like funds most of NATO and it does the vast majority of troop deployments whenever they've been needed.
00:15:18.620 It's just true.
00:15:19.620 I'm sorry it hurts the Germans' feelings, but it's just true. 1.00
00:15:25.000 Laura Babcock here then says, I am so enraged by what Trump said.
00:15:29.280 He is a vile human being and a threat to humanity.
00:15:32.860 Much more on tomorrow's OSHO, Canada's pro-democracy podcast.
00:15:36.560 Yes, her pro-democracy podcast, which frequently condemns freedom of speech because she doesn't like what other people say.
00:15:43.880 But she is pro-democracy because whatever she wants is democratic. 0.87
00:15:47.960 In fact, this is actually why North Korea calls themselves the Democratic Republic of North Korea or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
00:15:57.220 It's because, well, the people are in charge, quote unquote, in terms of it's a communist government.
00:16:01.940 Ergo, it's democratic.
00:16:04.120 Basically, Laura Babcock comes from the exact same frame of mind.
00:16:08.540 I want to get to another clip right here.
00:16:10.780 All the things that Carney said in this speech were vapid to the point where, like, I don't know who this appeals to.
00:16:19.720 And if this does appeal to you, like, stop.
00:16:22.780 A strong and united Canada stands up for families and workers and protects those who are most vulnerable, whether they're a newcomer, a person with a disability, or a member of the two-spirited LGBTQI plus community.
00:16:36.780 He almost fumbled that one at the end.
00:16:40.060 It's very unnatural to say, but he is fully turned back into 2015 Justin Trudeau.
00:16:47.480 He already has his own version of the Canadian as a Canadian as a Canadian line.
00:16:52.580 And now he has his own version of diversity as our strength.
00:16:55.760 We're standing up for the two-spirit, two-SLGBTQ plus AI Z plus sign community. 1.00
00:17:03.060 It's like, guys, stop it.
00:17:05.220 What is this?
00:17:07.180 Look at the economy.
00:17:08.780 We're just supposed to, like, I guess forget about the fact the economy sucks right now.
00:17:12.540 Here is a great clip from the CBC before I get a little bit later on to what Polyev did.
00:17:18.760 I can't really play what Polyev did because it's a 12-minute video, but I'll try and give you the gist of it.
00:17:23.740 But we have – who is this?
00:17:25.660 I just want to make sure I get it right.
00:17:26.820 So we have Caitlin Harrison here going after Carney for the fact, rightfully so, that he had promised to get a trade deal with the United States, and now we're not doing that is the easiest way of saying it.
00:17:39.120 So, Kate, just going back to the issue of not having a trade deal, and I know a lot of people would prefer to have this settled.
00:17:45.540 But, you know, the UK and the EU did have whatever they have.
00:17:48.420 They thought it was settled.
00:17:49.300 Then they got threatened with tariffs unless Denmark gave up 90 percent of its territory.
00:17:53.520 Now, that's not where it's apparently ended up, but they're giving up chunks of Greenland to him because he demanded it or else.
00:18:01.540 Okay.
00:18:02.500 David Cochran is a political hack, a liberal political hack.
00:18:06.340 That's not what happened.
00:18:07.740 By the way, great example of something I disagree with Trump on.
00:18:10.880 The Greenland thing was stupid.
00:18:12.160 It should have been avoided.
00:18:13.400 Denmark basically just doubled down on the fact that they were already always allowing the Americans to set up bases,
00:18:19.760 and I think they are now giving them areas for permanent bases.
00:18:22.380 Effectively, we are still at the status quo ante.
00:18:26.920 We have not actually even moved on, but Trump just wanted, like, an ego win.
00:18:31.080 That's one of the character flaws of Trump.
00:18:32.900 He has a big ego.
00:18:34.280 He's sometimes right about things, and sometimes he even goes about it in the wrong way.
00:18:38.400 But the idea that we're going to be like, well, who?
00:18:41.100 David Cochran poisoning the well here.
00:18:42.820 Oh, well, what's even the point of getting a trade deal with the Americans?
00:18:46.200 Because they got into a tiff with Denmark that's already resolved.
00:18:50.380 Right?
00:18:50.780 So how do you reasonably get a deal with an administration that is acting like this and treating its partners like this?
00:18:57.640 I mean, I just don't know what the path is.
00:18:59.960 How is this guy the neutral interviewer?
00:19:02.640 He just keeps, like, poisoning the well harder.
00:19:05.320 You start by getting back to the table, and the prime minister was elected to do just that.
00:19:10.740 He said he was the right guy for the job in order to get back and have, again, his words, a new economic and security partnership with the United States.
00:19:20.040 I know the last nine, ten months has been disruptive.
00:19:22.700 I think that's putting it lightly.
00:19:24.520 For decades and decades and decades before that, we had a stable and secure relationship with our largest trading partner.
00:19:30.320 Going to Davos and giving a speech, talking about a significant break in that relationship, that serves as the grounds to, again, pursue, not just, we're not just talking about trade diversification, but rewriting the nature of relationships that we have with countries, including, up until nine months ago, our enemies.
00:19:50.720 There's a difference between diversifying and then that wholesale shift that the prime minister is, I think, making the case for today.
00:20:00.040 We have to remember that the U.S. is going to exist long after Donald Trump.
00:20:05.520 Our relationship with them is very, very close.
00:20:08.760 The prime minister was elected to try and get a resolution there, and that should remain part of the focus.
00:20:14.440 So, and speechifying and then not even meeting with the man while there, to me, doesn't advance the prime minister's apparent objective of getting back and getting to the trade and negotiation table.
00:20:27.200 And that's a great, another great point I actually forgot to make so far, is that in Davos, Mark Carney basically sped home.
00:20:34.820 He did not want to meet with Donald Trump.
00:20:36.400 Donald Trump was there the day he was there as well.
00:20:38.820 He could have met with him, and he just didn't.
00:20:41.280 And it's like, well, is this, like, the statesman that Laura Babcock really thinks is, like, going to stand up to Donald Trump?
00:20:48.240 He literally won't stand up to him.
00:20:50.000 He runs out of the room.
00:20:51.260 He does not want to meet with the man because he doesn't want a trade deal at this point.
00:20:55.080 He literally wants trade deals with everybody but the Americans at this point.
00:21:00.580 And so I want to move on now to a, here is, like, a great clip I think we need to talk about a bit.
00:21:08.180 Actually, no, I can skip that one.
00:21:09.640 And effectively, the liberals are just getting rid of the idea that we even need guardrails when we talk with the American, sort of with the Chinese, that we don't actually need to be careful with how we engage with them.
00:21:20.360 Even though they are our biggest national security threat, apparently we do not actually need guardrails in closening our relationship with the people that Carney said was the biggest national security threat to the country.
00:21:32.480 But what Pierre Polyev and the Conservative Party ended up doing here was that Polyev actually put out a video where he kind of went mild on Mark Carney in a strategic way.
00:21:45.020 I think most people understand what he's doing here, which is nice because I've seen previous tweets where people are, like, criticizing how Polyev goes about it.
00:21:51.480 It's like he's being strategic, and maybe it's cynical politics, but it's very good politics.
00:21:57.620 So Polyev released this 12, 13-minute video, you know, 12-and-a-half-minute video.
00:22:02.720 And he says here, the Prime Minister told Davos he wanted to close the gap between rhetoric and reality.
00:22:09.180 Here is how.
00:22:10.400 And we'll just play a little bit of this video, just like a minute of it, because I think he goes about it quite well, of demonstrating there is a gap between Carney's rhetoric and the actual reality of how he governs.
00:22:21.800 The Prime Minister's crafted and eloquently delivered speech at Davos has been widely noted, and I want to start by offering my own praise.
00:22:29.320 The Prime Minister is right to restate what many have said for years.
00:22:33.960 Canada must become more self-reliant, less dependent, and work with like-minded countries to advance our interests.
00:22:41.000 And Conservatives are, as always, willing to work with him to turn these words into results.
00:22:46.900 What stood out most to me was when he pointed out, quote, the gaps between rhetoric and reality.
00:22:54.340 That's especially true here at home.
00:22:57.060 If liberal words and good intentions were tradable commodities, Canada would already be the richest nation on Earth.
00:23:05.480 Unfortunately, after a decade of promises and grand speeches, liberals have made our economy costly and dependent, more so than ever.
00:23:15.420 After nearly a year as Prime Minister, Mark Carney has made things only worse.
00:23:21.520 The deficit has doubled, food inflation has doubled that in the States.
00:23:24.980 Housing costs have also doubled, the worst in the G7.
00:23:28.980 No pipelines are approved, anti-development laws removed.
00:23:32.920 The military has a massive recruiting and equipment shortfall.
00:23:37.820 There's still no free trade between provinces, no crime laws have been passed.
00:23:41.420 And the Prime Minister's signature promise of negotiating a win with the U.S. is unfulfilled.
00:23:48.580 Indeed, U.S. tariffs have more than doubled on Canada, while Mr. Carney's promised counter-tariffs have vanished along with his elbows.
00:23:56.660 And I'm going to end it there, but it goes on with more examples of the areas where Carney has talked tough and then not actually delivered.
00:24:06.840 I think the Conservatives going towards the next election need to be running this as their advertising campaign.
00:24:12.720 There are other ad strategies they could be using.
00:24:14.900 I think they need to really go after the China issue.
00:24:17.060 But this one, they should basically just be running 30-second rhetoric and reality ads.
00:24:23.980 It starts off with Paulyov always saying that, you know, Carney said some really good stuff at the WEF, but he mentioned rhetoric and reality.
00:24:32.540 And now let's go back to Canada and look at what the reality is compared to what Carney's rhetoric has been.
00:24:37.460 And just keep hammering those points over and over again, because the thing that you need people to do, because I don't think it's just a reality in Canada that there's a lot of anti-Trump voters.
00:24:48.060 You have to prove that Carney is not the guy who's standing up to him.
00:24:52.380 In fact, we have jobs and investment going to the United States because he's so pathetic and weak.
00:24:56.940 You know, he does his whole elbows up thing and then goes at Trump and thumbs his nose at him and gets into stupid scraps that hurt our relationship.
00:25:05.120 But he's not making us more self-sufficient.
00:25:07.220 He's just making us more isolated and poor because we don't have a good economy because the taxes, regulations are too high.
00:25:12.880 You can't get anything built.
00:25:14.340 It's ridiculous.
00:25:15.940 But anyways, that should probably be it for me in this video, guys.
00:25:20.500 I'll be back with more stuff.
00:25:21.840 I have to cover the 1BC, UBC thing yesterday.
00:25:25.640 Basically, a bunch of far-left communists attacked a 1BC discussion event at the University of British Columbia campus.
00:25:32.840 And the campus administration let it happen.
00:25:35.820 And of course, the BC conservatives did not mention it at all because they don't like actually acknowledging any of the good things that 1BC does.
00:25:43.680 And people could say, well, aren't you guys just agitating out there?
00:25:46.900 If walking onto campus is agitating, I guess we are agitators.
00:25:50.800 But the whole point is that this is not how things should be.
00:25:53.260 And it's good that people like Dallas Brody and Francis Widdowson go out there and prove that this is how bad campus culture has deteriorated over time.
00:26:03.040 Anyways, with that all being said, thank you guys for watching.
00:26:06.120 And I'll see – I'm really messing up this last part.
00:26:09.000 I'm going to see you in the next video.
00:26:10.080 Am I going to make another video?
00:26:11.640 I'll just see you at some point, guys.
00:26:13.500 See you later.
00:26:14.080 I'll point to the screen like I usually do.
00:26:15.560 There, point.
00:26:16.120 There, point.
