Well, it turns out being hysterically anti-American was a very stupid idea on Mark Carney and
00:00:08.640
the Liberal Party's part, because now Canada is in a situation where although many of the
00:00:14.240
tariffs on the rest of the world have gone away, Canada is now in timeout with China
00:00:19.620
because we put reciprocal tariffs on the United States rather than just negotiating.
00:00:24.240
Do I like the tactics that Trump used around his trade war efforts to try and lower tariffs?
00:00:32.960
At the same time, I would inform Mark Carney and the Liberal government that we're Canada
00:00:40.100
I am a Canadian patriot, but even I can look at our population numbers, compare them to
00:00:44.560
the United States, realize that even each American is making more money than each Canadian before
00:00:50.340
currency conversion and understand that we're not going to be able to beat them in a trade
00:00:56.780
But they tried it and now we look like a bunch of morons and now Mark Carney is having to
00:01:01.180
run away from the press, having no ability to justify what he's been doing or how he's
00:01:08.060
Anyways, before I get into it, guys, I just want to remind you to like the video if you've
00:01:11.760
been liking my federal election coverage, subscribe to the channel if you're not yet a subscriber
00:01:15.880
and leave a comment on the video on the topic of the day.
00:01:19.380
I always like to scroll through and see what people are saying.
00:01:22.180
I try and comment back at a good amount of people, but when there's like 1,200 comments,
00:01:26.780
oftentimes I scroll through and I find ones that are easier for me to answer.
00:01:30.820
Like if someone's asking me for a dissertation, probably won't talk, you know, type that out.
00:01:35.880
But if it's simpler stuff, definitely will try to.
00:01:38.960
Anyways, here's a video that the conservatives actually had compiled of Mark Carney when he was
00:01:44.700
taking that day off of the campaign trail, running away from the media as they asked
00:01:59.380
Reporters trying to get more questions in and hoping answers will come, but very few did.
00:02:06.680
He took the day off because he apparently had pressing prime ministerial stuff to do.
00:02:10.600
And then he gets to Ottawa and he's apparently not doing anything because he was obviously
00:02:15.040
just taking a break from the campaign trail because he's bad at campaigning.
00:02:18.960
So he's stuck between a rock and a hard place now.
00:02:21.440
Does he want to admit that he doesn't have anything going on because he just wanted the
00:02:27.500
Or does he actually say he's working on stuff, but then not be able to give anyone detail
00:02:33.580
Or you'd have to admit that he actually put Canada in a really bad negotiating position
00:02:38.660
with the United States by being like the only country on the planet to align itself with
00:02:46.660
But if anyone is siding with China on the trade war, it's going to be basically just very
00:02:53.520
So Southeast Asian or I guess East Asian allied states or something like that.
00:03:03.300
Canada still faces U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos and is retaliating.
00:03:09.620
Nothing changed for Canada when Donald Trump paused global reciprocal tariffs earlier this
00:03:15.680
Canada's tariff situation remained unchanged and Prime Minister Carney had nothing to say
00:03:20.660
about any changes to Canada's counter tariff strategy.
00:03:24.080
We were hoping for so much more from Mark Carney, but but remind us, what did we just hear?
00:03:34.440
Now, liberals will tell you that they like it when Carney gets to play the role of prime
00:03:41.680
Around the same time that Mark Carney left without taking questions, a GM plant in Ingersoll,
00:03:47.760
Ontario was pausing production, citing slumping sales.
00:03:51.720
And this is why Mark Carney put us in this position.
00:03:56.540
When he got in, he had the chance to deal with the trade issue before he triggered the
00:04:02.480
Instead, he triggered the election and went into hardcore anti-American mode.
00:04:07.000
And that has actually damaged Canada's ability to now go while other countries are trying to
00:04:12.300
negotiate to the U.S. and say, hey, can we have some sort of off ramp here?
00:04:16.600
Because we're such two closely entwined economies, can Canada get an auto or steel and aluminum
00:04:24.940
But Carney has put himself in a position where he even told Trump, I'm not going to talk to
00:04:28.840
you until after after the federal election is over.
00:04:34.440
Every country is getting in to negotiate before.
00:04:38.880
Carney's been kicking Trump in the face every single day on the campaign trail.
00:04:41.980
But it turns out we're still Canada and we can't exactly push the Americans around on
00:04:47.840
this one would have been far smarter to have engaged in actual serious negotiations with
00:04:54.060
Even if we don't agree with every point they're making, you know, increased border security
00:04:57.800
crackdown on fentanyl in our country, which we should already be doing anyways.
00:05:01.360
And then we can talk seriously about trying to get some sort of exemption on steel and aluminum
00:05:08.880
tariffs or auto tariffs when they were implemented.
00:05:11.900
Instead, we basically acted as Chinese allies rather than American allies.
00:05:21.300
I want to jump over again to the TikTok left, who is convinced that they have another kill
00:05:28.040
shot on Pierre Polyev, and that is he is like Donald Trump because he is tough on crime.
00:05:35.600
This is not going to play as well as these people think.
00:05:38.520
Pierre Polyev's new policy announcement is literally what Trump did.
00:05:48.760
I think it says strict judges basically to crack down on like to be more tough on crime.
00:05:55.740
And he was trying to paint this as a bad thing because that's what Trump did with new judges
00:06:02.660
He he wants to politicize the courts, the unpolitical courts that we have in Canada.
00:06:10.340
He can't help himself but continue to associate himself with MAGA and MAGA identity and MAGA
00:06:15.700
And there are ways to talk about this without like going insane, because, yeah, a lot of the
00:06:19.200
catch and release style things aren't liberal policies.
00:06:24.340
In fact, they are progressive policies from the courts, because we have a pretty rock solid
00:06:30.360
And that also means that people have the right to due process and they have the right to be
00:06:33.300
treated equally and fairly under the justice system.
00:06:35.140
And maybe we need to reevaluate what that means.
00:06:37.520
But we don't do that by taking over the courts and appointing people who are ideologically
00:06:52.940
What's this thing I'm about to pull up on screen?
00:06:55.180
It's probably not something that's going to contradict Frank, because his point was absolutely
00:07:00.620
He understands the goings on in Canadian politics.
00:07:07.220
Exclusive data analysis reveal liberals appoint judges who are party donors.
00:07:15.860
This is probably an 11 minute read because there's nothing in it.
00:07:18.960
And it's not that the liberals are deeply corrupt and they're not just appointing people who
00:07:23.920
are ideologically liberal, but they are appointing people who are ideologically liberal, who give
00:07:28.800
thousands of dollars over time to the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:07:35.260
And do you know what is not actually politicizing the courts?
00:07:38.160
It is putting in place judges who will enforce the law.
00:07:40.980
Now, if that is considered political, and basically everything is political, but the left will
00:07:47.380
always tell you that everything is political, and yet everything is only ever political when
00:07:53.620
Make it make sense, but I'm not going to attempt to do that because I want my brain to not break
00:07:59.620
Let's jump over to this other video of another person on the sort of left-wing content creator
00:08:05.700
circuit having another freak out about Pierre Polyev.
00:08:11.800
It's freaking out about Trump, and then it's freaking out about Pierre Polyev with no real
00:08:18.260
These are the same people who laugh when Mark Carney gets rid of the carbon tax because it
00:08:24.880
At the same time, they won't really reason through why they are cool with getting rid of
00:08:29.500
At the same time, they were mocking conservatives for so long for saying that we should get rid
00:08:33.960
We heard this week from, I love this part, Ford's top campaign guy that he dropped so
00:08:42.880
many F-bombs about Polyev and how he screwed up a 20-point lead and how it's campaign mismanagement
00:08:51.440
But then he took it even further on CTV when he said, and I quote, they're petrified of a
00:09:03.120
If you want to just create a hashtag for the way the country feels about Polyev's MAGA,
00:09:22.260
He runs the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, but it would be more accurate if that
00:09:26.640
party just started calling itself the Progressive Party of Ontario because they've done nothing
00:09:30.760
conservative in their entire tenure in office since 2018.
00:09:35.100
I feel most bad for the few actual conservatives that exist in that party who are sitting MPPs
00:09:40.740
who can't really say and do anything and are having their reputations absolutely trashed
00:09:45.560
by the fact that they're willing to follow this idiot Doug Ford around.
00:09:49.000
cut no taxes, do nothing conservative, do nothing pro-parental rights, don't actually reform the
00:09:55.320
curriculum, don't cut wasteful spending, don't do any of this stuff, and yet they still have
00:10:00.380
to stand up and pretend this is all conservative.
00:10:02.200
Sam Oosterhoff, my goodness, I wouldn't want to be Sam Oosterhoff.
00:10:06.300
I keep having people, especially a few years ago, tell me, oh, that guy's such a young rock
00:10:13.620
He seems like kind of just a coward to me at this point.
00:10:19.660
And he even had to stand up at one point before the 22 election and report out positively
00:10:25.460
about an NDP bill to add anti-racism curriculum to the Ontario curriculum for people in like
00:10:36.800
Yeah, Sam Oosterhoff, political rock star right there for the conservatives.
00:10:40.180
But the entire thing, people pretending like Corey Tanike is telling us that, ooh, the Polly
00:10:47.400
of conservatives are falling apart because they're not doing the strategy we used in Ontario.
00:10:52.460
Do you know why Doug Ford won the 2025 election so handily?
00:11:00.000
Doug Ford is the best beneficiary of bad opponents.
00:11:05.000
The man has had to take on Kathleen Wynne, Andrea Horvath, which was Andrea Horvath's second
00:11:13.560
He had to then take on Andrea Horvath again in 22 and Steven Del Duca.
00:11:18.860
And now in 2025, he took on a Bonnie Henry campaign that was completely comatose.
00:11:23.580
And Merit Stiles, who looked like the long lost sister of Bonnie Henry running the NDP.
00:11:30.980
He has the best opponents to be running against if you always want to be able to win re-election.
00:11:37.880
He just inherits a lot of liberal voters who don't like the liberal options on the ballot
00:11:43.840
And Doug Ford's already doing everything they want.
00:11:46.000
So what's the point of voting for the liberals?
00:11:48.320
It's always hilarious to me when I see people, especially like Frank Dominic from the first
00:11:52.560
video, talking about how much of a disaster Doug Ford is, while he implements policies
00:11:57.840
that those same people are apparently in favor of on a national level.
00:12:01.940
So when Ford does it, they don't like it because he's the PC guy.
00:12:05.140
But if the liberals propose effectively the same thing, he's totally okay with it.
00:12:14.560
There's this crazy video of liberal operatives trying to plant campaign buttons that make
00:12:20.020
the conservatives seem very mega at their conferences, and it's totally backfired.
00:12:25.160
They were exposed, and I think it tells you something about the liberal campaign.
00:12:28.900
Like I was saying, the entire campaign is Trump is scary and evil, so Polly of a scary and evil.
00:12:37.700
Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys.
