The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney Runs From Trump in Davos

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Remember way back in the day, and I mean like way, way back in the

00:00:07.980 day, when Prime Minister Mark Carney promised that he could get a trade deal signed with the

00:00:13.320 Americans and Donald Trump, and you could trust him to do it because he's dealt with Donald Trump

00:00:18.460 before? Well, you may be shocked to learn, especially if you're a Liberal Party voter,

00:00:24.100 that that was not, in fact, way back in the day. That was less than a year ago. And no,

00:00:30.520 Mr. Carney did not fulfill that promise. We are, for some reason, not trading with the Americans

00:00:36.220 more. We are trading more with the Communist Chinese and cozying up with the Qataris who

00:00:42.480 fund Hamas. A little bit of a deviation from what Mark Carney was saying, not only during the last

00:00:49.600 election, but when he was even running for Liberal Party leadership. But somehow, there are

00:00:55.700 Liberals out there, a sizable portion of the Liberal base, who will tell you that this is exactly what

00:01:02.600 they voted for. They knew this is what they were going to get with Mark Carney. Yes, his campaign

00:01:07.800 rhetoric was like the opposite of what is currently going on, but they saw a little twinkle in his eye

00:01:13.060 as he was saying that, I'm going to get a trade deal signed with the Americans, and China is our

00:01:18.460 biggest national security threat. The twinkle said, I'm actually going to trade more with China and

00:01:23.580 constantly antagonize the Americans, making it more difficult to actually get a trade deal signed.

00:01:29.480 There are people out there who just live in a giant vat of cognitive dissonance. They will literally

00:01:36.420 think that this is exactly what they wanted when it is the opposite of what Carney talked about during

00:01:43.340 the last election. But let's be clear, a lot of these people just hate America. I'm a Canadian,

00:01:49.420 I'm a patriotic Canadian. I also do not hate the Americans. But so many Liberal Party voters hate the

00:01:55.940 Americans, where you can literally replace campaign promises with just hating America more, and they

00:02:01.900 will be perfectly happy with it all. But in this video, I want to go over some of the ridiculous,

00:02:07.940 delusional stuff that Mark Carney said at the World Economic Forum this year. And then we're going to

00:02:14.220 talk about Donald Trump absolutely bulldozing him in his speech that happened the day after.

00:02:20.740 I don't know who this is made for. Like, obviously, it's made for the Liberal Party base. But the Liberal

00:02:27.100 Party base is not every Liberal Party voter. I see what Carney is doing right now as being a big risk to

00:02:33.840 himself. A lot of what I call the business liberals are going to get pretty queasy at the fact that this

00:02:39.360 guy no longer cares about his biggest campaign promise to get a trade deal signed, and that he

00:02:44.400 may just ride off and, like, start going and working with hostile anti-Western forces simply to thumb his

00:02:52.380 nose at Donald Trump, which, by the way, isn't even good for business. EV dumping in Canada is not great

00:02:58.340 for business in this country. Yes, we reduce the canola tariff. It really doesn't matter. And I don't

00:03:04.400 actually slag people like Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe for saying nice things about Carney after the

00:03:10.700 trade deal was signed. Hey, he's in Saskatchewan. The canola farmers would think he's a jerk if he

00:03:16.360 doesn't give Carney some credit on canola. That doesn't mean the actual trade deal with China was

00:03:21.280 good. Maybe Scott Moe overstated it a bit, but I'm not going to get too much into that. I just don't

00:03:26.360 tend to go after politicians when they say something politically diplomatic. Sometimes you

00:03:32.220 just have to do it. But anyways, let's get into these WEF clips in just a second. But before we do

00:03:38.040 that, if you guys like the channel, remember to like this video, subscribe if you are not yet a

00:03:43.620 subscriber, leave a comment on what you think. And if you want to help the channel out financially,

00:03:49.200 you can hit the join button below the video, and you can join one of two pretty low tiers if you want

00:03:55.460 to be able to throw a couple dollars into the channel every month. It just makes me less reliant

00:04:00.120 on the YouTube algorithm. And a good example of why that's a good thing is that I did an hour long

00:04:05.980 panel discussion yesterday with one BC leader Dallas Brody and law professor Bruce Party. And those long

00:04:12.900 form discussions don't tend to actually do very well on YouTube. A lot of people see it's an hour long,

00:04:17.780 and they decide not to watch it. And so that is a video that's not going to do a lot of revenue. But by having a

00:04:23.460 membership, I can do stuff like that more often, not fearing the YouTube gods are going to be like,

00:04:29.240 yes, we're going to cut your reach down on YouTube, because this isn't the content we think people want

00:04:34.540 to see. But that's my pitch for the join button. You can always think about doing that. But now let's

00:04:40.160 get into the speeches at the WEF. Now, what Carney did was horrifyingly stupid. Again, there are a lot of

00:04:50.880 anti-American voters in the Carney liberal base. Also, it's not good policy to indulge those people

00:04:59.300 all the time. In this speech, Mark Carney, I can assure you, is talking about America. Because he's

00:05:06.960 definitely not talking about China, or it'd make him a bigger hypocrite than he already is. He is a

00:05:12.340 massive hypocrite, but it would be even worse if he was talking about China here. But here is what

00:05:18.040 Carney, this is a clip they posted to his own social media, so they thought this was good.

00:05:22.300 Mark Carney here says, as great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests,

00:05:29.160 middle powers like Canada have a choice, compete with each other for favor or act together with

00:05:34.640 impact. So let's watch this just minute and 16 second clip. And then we're going to get to Donald

00:05:40.400 Trump putting him through the wall. It seems that every day, we're reminded that we live in an era

00:05:48.020 of great power rivalry, that the rules based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can,

00:05:56.000 and the weak must suffer what they must. And faced with this logic, there is a strong tendency

00:06:03.880 tendency for countries to go along to get along. He literally says like, oh, there's a strong tendency

00:06:11.260 for countries to go along to get along. What did you just do in China? I'm just gonna leave it at

00:06:17.620 that. What did he just do in China? To accommodate, to avoid trouble, to hope that compliance will buy

00:06:26.440 safety. Well, he's saying this, oh, compliance will buy safety. What did you just do in China?

00:06:34.300 You used to call them our biggest national security threat. And you are giving the Chinese what they

00:06:40.660 want, in hopes that they will then work with you on national security. That sounds like compliance,

00:06:47.540 hoping that you're going to be able to get some safety from it, you're going to get some cover.

00:06:51.440 I won't. And the question for middle powers like Canada is not whether to adapt to the new reality,

00:06:58.940 we must. The question is whether we adapt by simply building higher walls, or whether we can do

00:07:05.520 something more ambitious. In a world of great power rivalry, the countries in between have a choice,

00:07:12.340 compete with each other for favor, or to combine to create a third path with impact.

00:07:18.620 We shouldn't allow the rise of hard power to blind us to the fact that the power of legitimacy,

00:07:27.960 integrity, and rules will remain strong, if we choose to wield them together.

00:07:33.860 Oh my goodness. I think one of the underrated things about Mark Carney as an annoying political

00:07:40.440 figure is how pretentious he is. But he's talking about, oh, we don't want to pick sides to different

00:07:45.740 sides of the big powers. We want our own third way. I'm like, well, okay, well, that's maybe something

00:07:51.760 that you could have pitched before you went to China and begged Xi Jinping to love you. You could

00:07:59.100 have done that before, but now you can't. But again, he's trying to, someone needs to go out there and

00:08:05.260 give him the high-mindedness award. Oh, he's so high-minded. He just, he thinks that we need to

00:08:11.700 track a third way and stay out of the, out of the, the great power rivalry, except you picked China.

00:08:18.440 What is this? And then he went and helped out the, like, he went and talked to the Hamas funding

00:08:23.280 Qataris. And you could say the Americans talked to them too. The Americans talked to them a little

00:08:27.900 bit different because they have hard power. And if Qatar crosses them and tries to take away the

00:08:34.400 military base they have there, they could put Doha into the Stone Age. That's the difference.

00:08:39.960 Canada shows up and naively basically partners with the people who let Hamas be hosted in luxury

00:08:46.260 apartments in, in, in Doha. That's what we do. We just kind of naively smile and sign agreements to

00:08:53.540 like, you know, be friends with them. The Trump administration and even the Biden administration,

00:08:59.000 yeah, they'll talk to the Qataris, they'll act friendly, but you don't cross the Americans.

00:09:04.000 That's actually the benefit of having hard power. And that's why we should probably want to either be

00:09:09.360 more like the Americans or partner closer with the Americans. But now let's get to U.S. President

00:09:14.820 Donald Trump putting Mark Carney through the wall because I can be a patriotic Canadian and also

00:09:21.040 agree that Mark Carney was a pretentious jerk. Really? You're going to try and slag the United

00:09:27.600 States? He was like subtweeting the United States yesterday where he's talking about them without

00:09:32.360 actually saying anything without actually naming them. And so Donald Trump does not do such weak

00:09:39.440 tactics. He just fully names Canada and Mark Carney here. Here's just a 28 second clip of his moment

00:09:45.520 addressing Canada. We're building a golden dome that's going to just by its very nature

00:09:51.280 going to be defending Canada. Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way.

00:09:59.100 They should be grateful also, but they're not. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't

00:10:04.080 so grateful. They should be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember

00:10:11.600 that, Mark, the next time you make your statements?

00:10:14.840 I love that. Remember that, Mark, next time you make your statements.

00:10:20.760 It's like I it's so again, what did we buy here? Do we have a better relationship now with the United

00:10:28.640 States where they're going to come to the table and talk to us? No. The only way that we're getting

00:10:33.640 them to talk to us is like, are we going to join the evil empire of China, Russia, Iran, and like hope

00:10:40.900 that Donald Trump reaches out to us and like gives us something to stop doing it? Because even if that was

00:10:46.940 our tactic, that sounds to me, you know, immoral, that sounds bad, like we're going to go join the

00:10:54.760 country that props up North Korea. We're going to go join the country that was allies with Nicolas

00:11:00.880 Maduro, who Donald Trump very, you know, I'm happy he begged that guy. We're going to join them in order

00:11:08.320 to bring Trump to the trade negotiating table. And that's only if we think that's what he's doing.

00:11:14.220 I think he's just an idiot. I think I think just Mark Carney is just jaded. He's like a he's just

00:11:20.660 spiteful of the fact he couldn't get a trade deal signed with Donald Trump. So he's mad. He's going

00:11:25.780 to storm off and go talk to Xi Jinping and hope that Xi will give him something that he can hold up

00:11:30.920 and show Donald Trump. You see what Xi just gave me? He just took some canola tariffs off and he's

00:11:37.020 going to flood my market with cheap EVs. Oh, I bet you're jealous right now. Oh, my goodness. Look at that.

00:11:42.440 Look at that. For some reason, for some reason, this thing's not working. He's got to tap it

00:11:46.640 sometimes. I'm getting so distracted by this. There you go. Now it's working properly. He's

00:11:52.400 got to hit stuff, guys. That's how that's how men get things working. I am not a handyman at all.

00:11:57.700 But now we have to move on. I just want to play another clip of Mark Carney here. This was

00:12:03.380 peak delusional. So he's gone away from attacking Donald Trump in this clip and the Americans.

00:12:09.580 And now he's just trying to, like, pimp out how great he thinks Canada is. And again,

00:12:15.360 it's just slathered in hypocrisy here. Canada has what the world wants. We are an energy

00:12:22.340 superpower. We hold vast reserves of critical minerals. We have the most educated population

00:12:28.320 in the world. Our pension funds are amongst the world's largest and most sophisticated investors.

00:12:33.700 In other words, we have capital, talent. We also have a government with immense fiscal

00:12:39.400 capacity to act decisively.

00:12:41.700 Okay, I'm going to let him finish here. But what is he talking about? We're an energy

00:12:47.000 superpower. Then sign something to get a pipeline built. Cool. We have critical minerals the

00:12:53.520 world wants. How about we start mines? Like, the thing is that we have so much environmental

00:13:00.480 and First Nations consultation, nothing gets done. There are so many competing interest groups trying

00:13:07.200 to prevent Canada from actually developing that it doesn't matter that we're, in theory, an energy

00:13:12.440 superpower with lots of critical minerals. We're not providing them to the world. Like, the thing is,

00:13:18.100 we would actually not need to rely on America as much in terms of our overall percentage of trade

00:13:24.580 if we just produced more. And it's not because we would be going away from the United States. We

00:13:29.420 would just be satisfying the market needs of the U.S. And then we would start sending the excess

00:13:34.480 out to Asia, out to Europe, out to Africa. And that's how we would do it. But it's like,

00:13:39.880 the guy goes to the heat at home. He doesn't actually want to develop. He has tons of excuses.

00:13:47.020 Oh, no, we can't do that. Sorry, we can't even get rid of the industrial carbon tax. The world won't

00:13:51.340 respect us as much, which is nonsense. Who cares? The world does not give a crap. But he'll say that

00:13:57.020 back home. And then he goes to, like, Switzerland, and he's in Davos, and he's, like, pimping out how

00:14:01.880 cool he thinks Canada's. Dude, we're an energy superpower. We got all these critical minerals.

00:14:06.160 Our pension fund's great. Also, it's not great. But our pension fund's great. We got the most educated

00:14:11.260 population. I'm like, well, Mark, why is our per capita income falling? Yes, we have a lot of

00:14:19.020 degrees. Why are people poor? Like, dude, can we sort this stuff out before you start attempting

00:14:25.640 to brag? Do we get a trade deal with the U.S. before we start trying to brag?

00:14:31.580 And we have the values to which many others aspire. We have a recognition of what's happening

00:14:37.800 and a determination to act accordingly. But we believe that from the fracture, we can build

00:14:42.760 something bigger, better, stronger, more just. That is Canada's path. We choose it openly

00:14:49.700 and confidently. And it is a path wide open to any country willing to take it with us.

00:14:57.800 Dude, I would always pick a speech by Donald Trump before I'd pick a speech by Mark Carney

00:15:03.960 to listen to. Honestly, the funny thing is, Trump will always go on longer than pretty much

00:15:10.160 any world leader. He just talks a lot. But it's like, it's not just slathered in pretentious

00:15:16.440 like prose and $10 words that he really didn't need to use. Just talk like a person. But Mark

00:15:24.020 Carney is always desperately attempting to make himself seem elite in a really stupid way.

00:15:29.540 Oh, and by the way, they think that this WFC speech was such a win, they started turning

00:15:36.320 it into attack ads against Pierre Polyev. So here is this, this, they thought the WEF thing

00:15:42.600 is going to be a big selling point for the liberals. Check this out.

00:15:46.340 And that is why I've made it clear that my ministers and my government will be banned

00:15:51.140 from participating in the World Economic Forum when I'm in government.

00:15:54.520 We're engaging broadly, strategically with open eyes. We actively take on the world as it

00:16:02.720 is, not wait around for a world we wish to be. We are calibrating our relationships, so

00:16:11.240 their depth reflects our values. And we're prioritizing, we're catalyzing, synthesizing,

00:16:17.300 calibrating. It's like, that's why I hate about the words he uses, where we are calibrating.

00:16:22.120 Like, dude, just say we're adjusting. We're determining.

00:16:24.980 ...broad engagement to maximize our influence. And given the fluidity of the world at the

00:16:30.280 moment, the risks that this poses, and the stakes for what comes next.

00:16:35.880 And so, again, guys, this was something they posted on their own social media, like, a day

00:16:40.780 ago. They thought that this was going to be, like, a really good contrast. And so, of course,

00:16:45.360 they picked, like, the one moment where Polyev was running for leader, saying he doesn't

00:16:49.900 want his ministers going to the WEF. And they used the one where he sounds most awkward at the very

00:16:55.380 end. That was, like, a march clip. That was, like, really early into the leadership race that

00:17:02.100 Polyev was in. He said that multiple times. So they found the stump speech where he flubbed it a

00:17:07.000 little bit at the end. It's like, okay, but I still agree with him. I don't want my ministers

00:17:11.820 going to the WEF. I don't want any MPs going to the WEF. You know, Rebel News can show up

00:17:18.180 there and kind of mock all the people for being there themselves. We don't need conservative

00:17:22.860 MPs to do that. Here's the thing with the World Economic Forum. It's really, because some

00:17:28.600 people make it into more than a thing that it really is. Like, it's some sort of world

00:17:34.740 international Mason cult or whatever some people talk about it as. No, it's, like, just a bunch of

00:17:43.180 pretentious proto-socialists. And you shouldn't want to associate that with them because you

00:17:49.120 shouldn't want to be a pretentious proto-socialist. Like, the World Economic Forum is, like, the guy

00:17:54.840 who thinks he's really smart. And so he convinces other people to copy his homework and copy his

00:18:01.340 answer on the tests when he doesn't know what he's doing. Like, that's the danger of the WEF.

00:18:07.440 It convinces stupid politicians that they have all the answers when they do not. And they will then

00:18:12.040 implement those stupid, those really, really stupid policies when they get home and ruin the

00:18:17.780 economy. Just look at a lot of the things that Justin Trudeau did. Very much took a lot of the

00:18:22.100 WF recommendations. And it turns out that they're basically just delivering microwaved fascist

00:18:28.160 economics from Italy from the 1920s. And it, in fact, does not make the economy better.

00:18:33.900 Anyways, I want to move on to another clip here. Ah, I don't really care about this. I don't need to

00:18:40.820 play the thing that Scott Moe said. I addressed it a little bit ago. But we're going to get into this

00:18:45.580 video that they put up because they think apparently Mark Carney's really cool here. I'm not playing it

00:18:51.540 with the music. Because for some reason, YouTube will, like, destroy my video based on some of the

00:18:57.880 music that the liberals play in these videos. Like, a copyright claims it.

00:19:03.900 So it's just a video with him just standing there speaking, meeting random technocrats and world

00:19:09.840 leaders. If anything, he's leaning into things. He's leaning into a lot of a lot of a bad look for

00:19:20.300 himself. He's already the elite international jet setter. And he keeps leaning even more into the

00:19:28.440 fact that he is those things. If anything, Carney's the best. And when I say the best, I just mean in

00:19:34.080 terms of, like, I'm not a fan of him. But, like, I can say, if I was a liberal advisor, and I was

00:19:40.680 actually trying to help him win, I'd be like, dude, you got to be more down to earth, be less

00:19:44.340 pretentious. You know, pimp out the fact that you are able to go to these events less, you know, put on

00:19:51.240 a, like, button up shirt without the tie, and walk around and talk to people at a country fair. You know,

00:19:58.320 go to a winter sports event. Stop hanging out with people that people already know you hang out.

00:20:04.080 But now I just want to get to this clip from CBC Power and Politics of Ginny Roth making a very

00:20:09.540 good point about Mark Carney's travel to China, and why this does, in fact, look quite bad and

00:20:15.300 antagonizing the US is not a good thing. What was your thought on it? I know there's a lot of

00:20:19.260 criticism that there isn't a deal with the US. I mean, whether it was Prime Minister Paliyev,

00:20:23.740 Prime Minister Singh, Prime Minister May, I don't know if it's the Canadian Prime Minister's fault or the

00:20:27.380 President of the United States fault in that particular case, because Europe thought they had a deal

00:20:31.440 and they were threatened and here we are. I mean, what do you make of what Mark Carney said

00:20:35.580 yesterday and where things kind of stand on that? I mean, I think the extent to which the

00:20:39.380 Prime Minister's, like, style and syntax and look and feel resonated as strong leadership speaks to

00:20:46.600 the level of leadership we had become accustomed to in this country. And I will grant that I think

00:20:51.980 he rose above that level. And he appeared sort of sophisticated and suited to the moment and that

00:20:57.040 sort of thing. But it's interesting, like, Anne's reaction is really interesting to me, because I

00:21:01.000 think there are other people who read the speech as a really pragmatic take, where actually we'd have

00:21:06.060 to compromise and we wouldn't be able to stand up and be so values and principles based because we're

00:21:10.620 in this new world order. He, in a way, I think that that reveals how sort of unclear it was. It was on

00:21:18.020 the one hand, we need to be more pragmatic. On the other hand, we need to stand up to these forces.

00:21:22.500 From my perspective, he acknowledged a truth about the world that some of us have been talking about

00:21:27.420 for a few years now. So like that part's obvious. And then the bigger problem for me was the pivot to

00:21:32.520 Canada and what we're doing. And I thought that was honestly a wild exaggeration and just not at

00:21:37.440 all true. Like this idea that we've removed interprovincial trade barriers, we have not.

00:21:41.800 This idea that we've invested in the military, we have not. There's not even appropriated funds,

00:21:46.060 the loan spent funds to get defence spending to where it needs to be. The idea that we're getting

00:21:49.900 natural resources to market, that we're driving billions in investment. None of this is true.

00:21:54.280 It's all talk. And so, you know, if he wants to set that bar for himself, great. And Canadians are

00:22:00.560 patient. They like what they're hearing from a style perspective. But eventually he's going to get

00:22:05.140 off a plane in Ottawa and Canadians are going to start to say like, okay, now what? When does the

00:22:10.300 rubber hit the road?

00:22:11.500 And one of the big things that happened, and I agree with Ginny Roth there, is that all this feels fake.

00:22:16.680 Like, even if you like the rhetoric, even if you like the rhetoric from Mark Carney and Ginny Roth,

00:22:23.260 I believe, is a little bit more of a red Tory. I know some people say red Tories are a very

00:22:27.560 particular thing. I guess blue liberal. She's a little bit more of a blue liberal. But even then,

00:22:32.700 she can even say, I can generally like the things that Mark Carney is saying, but all of it's also

00:22:37.100 fake at the same time. Like the rhetoric's good, but it's not lining up well. And here, I want to

00:22:42.760 go to a post by Pierre Polyev during all this, because it highlights the reality of the situation

00:22:49.620 that Mark Carney is in. Politics is, in fact, not speeches at the World Economic Forum. Politics

00:22:55.620 is going to be, what is the price of the gas pump? It's going to be, what is food inflation right now?

00:23:02.880 So right here, we have the leader of the Conservative Party, Pierre Polyev saying,

00:23:06.660 I'll just line this up a little bit better for myself. Meet the new liberal carbon tax a lot like

00:23:13.660 the old liberal carbon tax. Liberals hiked their hidden carbon tax again, up 7 cents a liter this

00:23:19.160 year, and headed to 17 cents a liter by 2030. That means a higher gas, that means higher gas prices

00:23:25.280 and higher grocery prices. I will scrap it so you can afford food, fuel, and energy. And the hidden

00:23:31.140 carbon tax, I believe they might be talking about either the, it could be either the industrial

00:23:37.480 carbon tax, which is true, they are doubling that. But then we also do have the clean fuel standard,

00:23:42.740 which I'm not actually sure if he's brought in yet, but that will also raise fuel prices.

00:23:46.840 But he's trying to, like Carney and the liberals are trying to get away with the idea that they're

00:23:51.120 somehow, you know, they're not pushing the carbon tax because they got rid of the one that was

00:23:57.220 called the carbon tax, at least the consumer one. But if you add other taxes that do apply to fuel,

00:24:03.700 you've brought it back with a different name. At the end of the day, the problem with the carbon tax

00:24:08.000 was not that it was a carbon tax, the fact it was a tax, and we need less tax. And so I hope in all

00:24:15.680 this, and here's Polyev now going at them for food inflation, he says, Mark Carney's hidden liberal

00:24:21.560 grocery taxes, keep driving up costs on your food. Every tax on farmers, fuel, fertilizer, and transport

00:24:27.200 shows up the grocery store checkout. Conservatives will take all the tax off groceries to bring down

00:24:31.820 prices and make food more affordable for Canadians. And he's showing the overall inflation from just

00:24:37.880 December 2024 to December 2025. We had roast and ground coffee up 41%, infant formula 6.2%, beef 16%,

00:24:48.880 17% rounding up, chicken 6.5%, oranges 15%, apples 10%, lettuce 12.8%, carrots 10.4%. Overall, we had

00:25:00.120 food go up in terms of inflation. The food inflation was around 6.1%, which is obviously not, you know,

00:25:09.820 a great affordability track record for Carney so far. And you could say, well, he's only been prime

00:25:15.700 minister for almost like less than half a year. If you just cut taxes heavily, all these prices not

00:25:21.240 only would be stabilizing, they'd actually be going down. You can actually not only fight back

00:25:27.180 against the rise inflation, you can deflate the economy if you lower taxes enough. If you just give

00:25:33.440 people more of their own money back, it will work. It's just how it works. It's how life works.

00:25:39.500 The less things cost to operate, the lower the price can be in order to turn a profit.

00:25:45.760 You'll actually lower the prices enough, the grocery stores can start competing with each other

00:25:49.820 on lower prices rather than not raising them as much as the other guys. That's the issue that we're

00:25:55.580 in. So what I do hope that the conservatives do right now, there's a lot of things that they could

00:26:00.380 run on in order to beat Carney and the liberals. They should run on the danger of cozying up with the

00:26:06.200 CCP, the electric vehicle dumping in Ontario that's going to hurt all of the automakers out there.

00:26:12.860 And again, I'm not somebody who likes subsidies. I'm not somebody who likes restricting trade just

00:26:18.740 because they could outcompete us. The difference is with China, they're just dumping old EVs onto

00:26:24.400 our markets. They're just dumping ones because they're a massive country and the small amount of

00:26:28.840 leftovers they have can easily overwhelm a smaller country. And they're not doing it for good reason.

00:26:34.140 It's not because they simply want to send cars out somewhere. They want to overwhelm an economy to

00:26:39.140 then dominate that economy. And I think that we shouldn't trade as much with hostile foreign

00:26:43.080 powers. But the main thing the conservatives need to run on is massive reform, massive tax reform,

00:26:50.880 massive regulatory reform, massive administrative spending reform. I think on taxes, just as an easy

00:26:58.800 one, and I've told Polyev's team very directly about this, and I hope they follow through with it.

00:27:03.400 You cannot run on a two and a quarter percent tax cut underneath, or is it two and a half? I think

00:27:10.340 it was just two and a quarter. You can't run on a two and a quarter percent tax cut under $50,000.

00:27:16.160 People don't even pay any taxes on the first $18,000 of income. So what you need to be doing,

00:27:22.300 you run on a 20% cut, which it will be a specific smaller rate cut depending on what bracket it's in.

00:27:29.120 But take an overall, take the amount of tax people pay in every single bracket, including corporate,

00:27:35.460 including the GST, and lower it by 20%. GST goes from 5% to 4%. High income earners also are saving

00:27:44.940 not only thousands, but tens of thousands of dollars, which they will reinvest in the economy.

00:27:50.500 And that's what you need. It needs to be transformational reform. If you're running on

00:27:55.560 a policy that's just tinkering around the corners, stop. It has to be transformational or do not

00:28:02.000 bother running on it because people don't even hear you said anything. Sometimes you still have

00:28:06.680 to run on some niche policies. Some niche policies help, but for the people that it matters to,

00:28:12.500 it really has to matter too. So when they were saying that they were going to change the fishing

00:28:16.960 quotas to save all these fishing towns that are being crushed by low thresholds of what they can catch,

00:28:22.560 at the same time the seal hunt was banned and the seals are decimating the close to shore fish stocks,

00:28:29.820 that was when Polyev ran on increasing the quota at the same time bringing back the seal hunt.

00:28:34.960 He won two more ridings in Newfoundland. So niche policies can still be good, but those it matters

00:28:40.020 to, it really needs to be transformational to. You run on a transformational platform or you don't run

00:28:45.400 on anything at all. But anyways, with that all being said, I did enjoy seeing Donald Trump put

00:28:51.580 Carney in his place there. I'm wondering if Carney is going to actually try and reach out to the

00:28:56.180 Americans because apparently at the WEF, he avoided Donald Trump and he refused to meet with him and

00:29:01.420 then he jetted out of town, probably because he's put Canada in a very awkward position right now.

00:29:06.540 And how does he even get into the same room as Donald Trump without having to apologize at this

00:29:10.520 point? Is Donald Trump easy to work with? No, I disagree with his Greenland thing he's doing right

00:29:15.780 now and I think he's going to drop it eventually. It's silly. I really liked what he did with

00:29:20.160 Nicolas Maduro. I can like and dislike things that Donald Trump did. But right now, what a lot of

00:29:25.940 Canada has done is not justifiable and obviously he's going to have to apologize to Trump before

00:29:31.180 actually negotiating more. He's actually probably going to have to cut off China in order to make a

00:29:36.540 deal with the Americans because America's currently trying to out-compete

00:29:39.400 China. It's all just so silly. But anyways, with that all being said, thank you guys for
