The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney's Cabinet is full of laughable choices! (Trudeau Cabinet 4.0)

00:00:00.160 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I just wanted to do a quick breakdown of what Mark Carney's new Liberal Cabinet looks like.

00:00:08.300 Some of the choices are obviously what you'd expect and they're not that controversial, and then other ones in there are laughably horrible.

00:00:15.900 I don't know what he's doing. I thought he was trying to seem like he's not Justin Trudeau, but a lot of these picks feel very Justin Trudeau-ish.

00:00:23.740 Let's just start and get right into it.

00:00:25.780 So, Kirk Lubomov here has done a really good job of just putting out what all the choices are, so you guys should go give him a follow.

00:00:32.720 I have his tweet linked in the description of this video below, as well as pinned at the top of the comments.

00:00:38.080 And some of these top ones are fine, like it's either people who are kind of obscure in former cabinets or they're not good at their jobs,

00:00:46.140 but they're not exactly terrible either, like Francois-Philippe Champagne as Minister of Finance and National Revenue and Anita Anand as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

00:00:55.780 She used to be the Defense Minister at one point, and she was okay with that.

00:00:59.960 She tried to do a little bit more military procurement than previous people, but not much to write home about.

00:01:06.400 But fair enough, she is now Foreign Affairs Minister. It's a big improvement over Melanie Jolie.

00:01:12.240 Although, as we go through this list, some of those people that they've replaced in these positions who were terrible are still somehow around.

00:01:19.840 So, now let's go down. So, we have like Rebecca Chorand as Minister of Northern Arctic Affairs. 1.00

00:01:25.620 That is a textbook example of someone I just don't care about.

00:01:28.820 Julie Daboussin as Minister of Environment.

00:01:32.280 So, at very least, Stephen Gilbeau is not her background in that position.

00:01:35.880 But now we start getting into some of the familiar faces.

00:01:38.880 Sean Frazier, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.

00:01:42.760 Why? Why? The man already screwed up in immigration.

00:01:48.740 He then screwed up in housing.

00:01:50.780 And now he gets to come back to do, to be Attorney General?

00:01:55.500 What about him screams this guy should be Attorney General?

00:01:58.880 Maybe he has a law background.

00:02:00.720 But that doesn't really seem to matter at this point,

00:02:04.560 considering that he's been given easier tasks and screwed them up.

00:02:08.520 But for some reason, Sean Frazier is in, as like, Attorney General.

00:02:13.940 I don't know why.

00:02:15.040 Okay, so, next up.

00:02:18.020 Chrystia Freeland, Minister of Transport and International Trade.

00:02:22.580 Why?

00:02:23.660 She's the person that Trump hates and does not want to negotiate with.

00:02:27.900 And she's now Minister of International Trade.

00:02:30.620 She's going to have to meet the Americans who think she's an idiot.

00:02:33.500 That is terrible.

00:02:34.620 And also, Minister of Transportation is really funny,

00:02:37.040 because you'll remember when she visited Alberta one time,

00:02:39.960 she got a speeding ticket from driving too fast.

00:02:42.120 It doesn't really have anything to do with it.

00:02:43.880 But my friend Brittany had mentioned,

00:02:45.640 what does she have?

00:02:46.700 Does she have any knowledge when it comes to transportation? 1.00

00:02:49.160 I was like, she does.

00:02:50.640 She does know how to go fast. 1.00

00:02:52.400 And maybe Mark Carney appreciated her speed.

00:02:55.800 But after that, we have Stephen Gil-Bowback,

00:02:59.120 Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture

00:03:01.100 and Minister of Responsible Official Languages.

00:03:04.580 Why would you put him in?

00:03:05.700 The guy, like, remember, everyone knows the orange jumpsuit photo of him.

00:03:11.340 He is a former activist criminal.

00:03:14.060 And after being terrible in environment,

00:03:16.740 now he gets to be Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.

00:03:20.040 That seems extremely stupid.

00:03:22.540 And also, like, official languages as well.

00:03:25.100 The man is, like, an actual Marxist.

00:03:28.960 Putting him in any ministerial position,

00:03:31.100 even Ministry of Silly Walks would be dangerous

00:03:33.960 because Stephen Gil-Bow will somehow find

00:03:35.920 a way of making it, of taxing people

00:03:38.660 to, like, save the planet or whatever,

00:03:41.520 even in that ministry.

00:03:43.480 We have Patty Haju,

00:03:44.740 our terrible former

00:03:45.880 terrible former Minister of Health,

00:03:48.940 is now Minister of Jobs and Families,

00:03:51.080 the Minister responsible for

00:03:52.380 Federal Economic Development Agency

00:03:54.120 for Northern Ontario.

00:03:55.260 Okay, I don't know, again,

00:03:58.060 why people who failed in health

00:03:59.820 now have an economic position,

00:04:02.500 jobs and families.

00:04:03.880 This is, it just feels like,

00:04:05.700 and what you're going to get from this list,

00:04:07.480 is it feels like a lot of people

00:04:09.160 who Mark Carney is personally friends with,

00:04:11.460 which gives lie to the idea,

00:04:13.300 if it is true,

00:04:14.160 that he's giving people jobs he's friends with,

00:04:16.120 it gives lie to the idea

00:04:17.580 that he's a serious-minded businessman,

00:04:19.840 because that's what he tried to cite

00:04:21.760 during the federal election.

00:04:23.420 I'm a serious-minded businessman,

00:04:25.120 and you can trust me

00:04:26.020 to get Canada back on track

00:04:27.160 because I've done really well

00:04:28.980 in the private sector and other areas,

00:04:30.840 even though he's mostly just sat on boards

00:04:32.500 because of his connections to governments,

00:04:34.140 because places like Brookfield

00:04:35.720 make lots of money

00:04:36.580 through government contracts

00:04:37.780 and subsidies and whatnot.

00:04:39.840 But even then,

00:04:40.740 he was Trudeau's economic advisor

00:04:42.200 for five years.

00:04:42.880 I don't believe that he's

00:04:43.800 a serious-minded businessman

00:04:45.940 when he proposed and implemented

00:04:48.140 some of the dumbest economic policies

00:04:49.960 under Trudeau

00:04:50.700 over the past four to five years.

00:04:53.660 But now we go back to,

00:04:55.480 and sorry,

00:04:56.040 and that's me also pointing out,

00:04:58.020 you will notice who's not on this list

00:04:59.720 as we go forward.

00:05:01.840 Dominic LeBlanc,

00:05:02.740 president of the King's Privy Council of Canada

00:05:04.660 and minister responsible for U.S. trade.

00:05:07.760 Actually, that's kind of funny.

00:05:08.960 Basically,

00:05:09.620 Chrysler Freeland's in charge of trade,

00:05:11.020 but not with the U.S.

00:05:12.680 Intergovernmental affairs

00:05:13.440 and one Canadian economy.

00:05:15.080 Fair enough.

00:05:15.880 Dominic LeBlanc isn't good,

00:05:17.140 but he seems like at least

00:05:18.200 a somewhat professional individual.

00:05:21.020 This next choice is actually not bad.

00:05:22.700 Joel Lightbound,

00:05:23.460 Minister of Government Transformation,

00:05:25.800 Public Works and Procurement.

00:05:27.300 Actually,

00:05:27.780 I saw Conservative MP Matt Strauss

00:05:30.900 give him a congratulations

00:05:31.980 because at least Joel Lightbound,

00:05:34.140 if you were to put together

00:05:35.420 a liberal candidate,

00:05:36.700 he's probably someone

00:05:37.720 you'd put into it

00:05:38.480 if you had to make a cabinet

00:05:40.080 out of who the liberals are.

00:05:41.500 At least he was the one

00:05:42.520 who criticized the Trudeau government

00:05:44.600 over their handling

00:05:45.540 of the Freedom Convoy

00:05:46.580 and disrespecting the truckers.

00:05:48.600 He at least has some morals.

00:05:52.600 Heather McDonald,

00:05:53.540 Stephen McKinnon,

00:05:54.600 the other head

00:05:57.020 of the two-headed ogre

00:05:58.900 of Stephen McKinnon

00:06:00.340 and Mark Gerritsen

00:06:01.440 is now leader of the government

00:06:03.060 of the House of Commons,

00:06:04.100 which is what he was before.

00:06:05.920 David McGinty,

00:06:07.620 Minister of National Defense,

00:06:09.040 Jill McKnight,

00:06:09.860 you know, veterans,

00:06:10.660 blah, blah, blah.

00:06:11.320 But I want to get down

00:06:12.060 to this one.

00:06:12.720 Gregor Robertson,

00:06:14.060 Minister of Housing

00:06:14.880 and Infrastructure.

00:06:16.980 You know,

00:06:17.380 maybe at this point,

00:06:18.820 Mark Carney's just trying

00:06:19.960 to take the piss

00:06:20.620 out of the situation.

00:06:21.860 So you replace

00:06:22.800 the incompetent Sean Frazier

00:06:24.280 and how is it?

00:06:24.880 Actually, no.

00:06:25.820 They replaced Sean Frazier

00:06:27.140 with Nate Erkson Smith

00:06:29.080 and now they're replacing

00:06:30.520 Nate Erkson Smith

00:06:31.560 with Gregor Roberts.

00:06:34.400 This is hilarious

00:06:35.320 for a few reasons.

00:06:37.020 One, Nate Erkson Smith

00:06:38.120 only re-entered politics

00:06:39.540 saying he was going

00:06:40.380 to run for re-election

00:06:41.280 because he was given

00:06:42.940 the Minister of Housing job.

00:06:45.460 That's the only reason

00:06:46.240 he stuck around

00:06:46.800 for re-election

00:06:47.400 was they were going

00:06:48.020 to let him be

00:06:48.600 the Minister of Housing.

00:06:50.120 And right after the election,

00:06:51.720 they not only move him

00:06:53.980 for Minister of Housing,

00:06:54.840 he's not in cabinet.

00:06:56.440 Nate Erkson Smith

00:06:57.520 is now just out

00:06:59.200 in the woods somewhere.

00:07:00.060 I don't know where he is.

00:07:01.440 And he's been replaced

00:07:02.540 by who in the job

00:07:04.420 for Minister of Housing?

00:07:06.120 The guy who was

00:07:07.900 the mayor of Vancouver

00:07:09.420 in 2008.

00:07:10.380 You know the guy

00:07:11.760 who helped start

00:07:12.820 the giant housing bubble

00:07:14.300 in Vancouver?

00:07:15.920 Yeah, let's put that guy

00:07:17.240 in charge of housing

00:07:18.740 nationally.

00:07:19.900 He'll do his magic

00:07:21.140 he did in Vancouver

00:07:22.120 for Calgary, Edmonton,

00:07:24.240 Winnipeg, Saskatoon,

00:07:25.840 Toronto, London, Montreal.

00:07:28.840 We need everywhere

00:07:30.160 to be like everything

00:07:31.700 to be like $1.3 million

00:07:33.280 crack shacks. 0.94

00:07:35.020 And Gregor Robertson

00:07:36.520 is going to get us there

00:07:37.300 faster apparently.

00:07:38.900 Evan Solomon,

00:07:40.400 the former CTV news presenter,

00:07:42.620 Minister of Artificial Intelligence

00:07:44.220 and Digital Innovation,

00:07:46.140 Minister responsible

00:07:46.820 for Federal Economic Development

00:07:48.200 Agency for Southern Ontario.

00:07:51.800 He's the Minister

00:07:52.780 of Artificial Intelligence.

00:07:54.940 Maybe that makes sense

00:07:56.060 because Evan Solomon

00:07:57.080 reminds me of a robot

00:07:58.320 when he was on CTV News,

00:08:00.580 so now he gets his dream

00:08:01.640 of leading the other robots.

00:08:02.880 Yeah, and then everything

00:08:05.620 else here is just

00:08:06.340 kind of nothing.

00:08:07.680 These are all the secretaries

00:08:08.880 which are just kind of

00:08:09.560 like the supplementary positions.

00:08:11.240 Somehow they gave

00:08:11.960 Adam Van Koverden,

00:08:13.420 the Secretary of State

00:08:14.600 for sport.

00:08:15.840 I know he is a former

00:08:17.160 Olympic athlete,

00:08:17.920 but that guy is also

00:08:18.780 more importantly

00:08:19.740 a complete moron,

00:08:20.980 so you should probably

00:08:21.540 give him zero responsibilities.

00:08:23.960 But yeah,

00:08:24.600 not much else going on here.

00:08:26.360 I do just want to highlight

00:08:27.460 Pierre Polyev's response

00:08:28.920 to this new cabinet.

00:08:31.480 So Pierre Polyev's back

00:08:32.740 doing press conferences

00:08:33.760 in the House of Commons.

00:08:36.260 Oh, actually, no,

00:08:37.200 I have to look at this meme first.

00:08:38.960 I saved in my bookmarks here.

00:08:43.220 I love this person.

00:08:44.160 Zane Belgi says,

00:08:45.820 okay, so what are we supposed

00:08:47.040 to do with this now?

00:08:48.500 And this is first liberal

00:08:49.480 cabinet minister

00:08:50.160 from Calgary Confederation

00:08:51.740 because they brought in

00:08:53.320 this guy last minute

00:08:54.140 who's like an actual

00:08:55.100 fairly good administrator

00:08:56.720 from everything I know

00:08:57.720 and made him the candidate

00:08:59.060 in Calgary Confederation.

00:09:00.440 He won it as the only

00:09:01.780 liberal MP in Calgary,

00:09:03.620 the only non-conservative

00:09:05.040 MP in Calgary,

00:09:05.920 and he got nothing

00:09:07.160 in the cabinet,

00:09:08.340 which seems really weird.

00:09:10.580 Again, you would think

00:09:12.180 that Carney would be

00:09:13.060 better at politics.

00:09:14.360 And the entire thing

00:09:15.040 is this entire cabinet

00:09:16.020 feels like politics.

00:09:17.280 Personal, internal politics.

00:09:19.580 You know, Carney likes

00:09:21.280 Sean Frazier.

00:09:22.660 So Sean Frazier gets to

00:09:23.840 come back and be

00:09:24.640 Attorney General.

00:09:25.240 But even though Nate

00:09:27.060 Irksine Smith,

00:09:28.880 even though I don't agree

00:09:29.860 with him on his positions,

00:09:30.940 he's like a weirdo vegan.

00:09:32.820 Even though I don't agree

00:09:33.480 with him on his positions,

00:09:34.140 he's really articulate.

00:09:35.720 He's really good.

00:09:36.840 He's very transparent.

00:09:37.840 He'll just tell you

00:09:38.420 what he thinks.

00:09:39.080 He runs a podcast

00:09:40.000 while he's in office.

00:09:42.180 And I don't agree

00:09:43.320 with him on housing,

00:09:43.980 but at least he had

00:09:44.680 a new vision on housing.

00:09:46.340 And he gets replaced

00:09:47.360 by the guy who screwed 0.86

00:09:48.420 up things before,

00:09:49.240 probably just because

00:09:50.160 he doesn't jive well

00:09:52.520 with Mark Carney.

00:09:53.660 Mark Carney probably

00:09:54.940 doesn't like talking

00:09:55.640 to him,

00:09:56.140 so let's just not

00:09:56.880 let him be in cabinet.

00:09:57.760 He doesn't like

00:09:58.260 hearing Nate's opinions.

00:10:00.980 But here is

00:10:02.340 here,

00:10:03.200 Polyev's reaction

00:10:04.060 to the new cabinet.

00:10:05.480 And, you know,

00:10:06.220 it's what you'd expect,

00:10:07.280 but it's also rightfully

00:10:09.160 what you'd expect

00:10:09.840 from him to say on this

00:10:11.400 because it's not

00:10:12.360 a great looking cabinet.

00:10:13.660 About reversing

00:10:14.660 liberal policies

00:10:16.220 in these areas.

00:10:16.880 But now we have

00:10:18.060 to find out

00:10:18.520 if he was serious.

00:10:19.600 And so far,

00:10:20.420 it's not a promising start.

00:10:21.660 The first disappointment

00:10:23.080 is, unfortunately,

00:10:24.220 his cabinet.

00:10:25.360 He appointed

00:10:26.020 Trudeau's old team

00:10:27.560 and Trudeau's

00:10:29.280 old advisors.

00:10:31.100 Stephen Gilbeau,

00:10:32.080 whose radical

00:10:32.640 green agenda

00:10:33.440 would shut down

00:10:34.240 all future developments

00:10:35.360 in our resource industry,

00:10:37.240 is still the minister

00:10:38.220 responsible for Quebec.

00:10:39.960 Sean Frazier

00:10:40.640 is the immigration minister

00:10:43.440 who caused

00:10:45.020 the immigration crisis,

00:10:46.540 the housing minister

00:10:47.620 who gave us

00:10:48.200 the housing crisis,

00:10:49.140 and now he's

00:10:50.380 the minister

00:10:50.900 responsible for

00:10:51.900 addressing the

00:10:52.740 liberal crime crisis.

00:10:54.620 It seems like

00:10:55.400 he is the master

00:10:56.260 at failing upward.

00:10:57.920 Chrystia Freeland, 0.88

00:10:59.140 who has finance minister,

00:11:00.840 hiked capital gains tax

00:11:02.160 and carbon taxes

00:11:03.180 and massively grew

00:11:05.260 our debt

00:11:05.720 to the point

00:11:06.260 where we now spend

00:11:07.160 a billion dollars

00:11:07.960 a week on interest,

00:11:09.420 stays in the cabinet.

00:11:11.100 Then there's

00:11:11.620 Gary,

00:11:12.640 Anna de Sangheri,

00:11:14.040 the new minister

00:11:15.400 of public safety,

00:11:16.520 who said

00:11:17.220 the actual crimes,

00:11:18.500 the actual issues

00:11:19.280 around bail

00:11:19.820 are quite sound

00:11:20.640 and they are embedded

00:11:21.860 and codified

00:11:22.780 in law right now,

00:11:24.220 as in to say

00:11:25.100 that there's nothing wrong

00:11:26.280 with the system.

00:11:27.000 Well, in fact,

00:11:27.400 there's everything wrong

00:11:28.260 as we see

00:11:29.100 from the growing crime wave

00:11:30.560 on our streets.

00:11:31.660 Then there's

00:11:32.040 Francois-Philippe Champagne,

00:11:33.940 Trudeau's minister

00:11:34.660 of everything,

00:11:35.440 who never really

00:11:36.520 managed to do

00:11:37.820 anything.

00:11:41.640 And he did it

00:11:42.980 very loudly.

00:11:43.420 But nice guy.

00:11:46.540 I'll give him credit.

00:11:47.240 He's a nice guy.

00:11:48.560 But he was the minister

00:11:49.620 of industry

00:11:50.240 during which we had

00:11:51.040 the worst economic growth

00:11:52.480 of any country

00:11:53.660 in the G7.

00:11:54.880 And now he's in charge

00:11:55.740 of the budget.

00:11:57.120 Then there's Jolie,

00:11:58.420 LeBlanc,

00:11:59.180 Haidu,

00:11:59.800 Annan.

00:12:00.380 Annan was the president

00:12:01.480 of the Treasury Board,

00:12:04.360 during which time

00:12:05.180 the bureaucracy

00:12:05.800 and the consultant bills

00:12:07.760 blew out of control.

00:12:09.340 In all,

00:12:10.820 14 Trudeau ministers

00:12:12.120 are now in Carney's cabinet.

00:12:13.960 It's more of the same

00:12:14.880 when Canada needs to be.

00:12:15.960 I thought that was

00:12:16.740 a good response overall

00:12:17.680 and I didn't actually

00:12:18.440 know that about

00:12:19.040 the new public safety minister.

00:12:22.340 That's a bad one.

00:12:23.180 A lot of these people,

00:12:24.480 again,

00:12:24.740 they're very obscure figures

00:12:25.920 and you'd have to

00:12:26.540 kind of like dig into them

00:12:27.560 a little bit

00:12:28.100 in order to find

00:12:29.260 their crazy quotes

00:12:30.220 that indicate

00:12:30.740 that they're going to be

00:12:31.720 pretty bad at their jobs.

00:12:33.360 Thank you.

00:12:34.080 And as a follow-up,

00:12:35.280 when Gregor Robertson

00:12:36.180 was Vancouver mayor...

00:12:37.480 This is specifically

00:12:38.320 Mark Carney answering

00:12:39.280 a question on Gregor mayor,

00:12:41.560 Gregor Robertson

00:12:42.460 being an awful mayor

00:12:43.900 of Vancouver.

00:12:44.880 The price of buying

00:12:45.720 a house increased

00:12:46.280 by 179%

00:12:47.660 in one of the most

00:12:48.280 expensive markets in Canada.

00:12:50.120 Why do you think

00:12:50.700 someone with this track record

00:12:51.900 should oversee the housing file?

00:12:53.280 Is this a signal from you

00:12:54.520 that you don't think

00:12:55.100 housing prices should go down?

00:12:57.880 You would be very hard-pressed

00:12:59.380 to make that conclusion.

00:13:01.480 It's actually not difficult.

00:13:03.200 The man has a track record

00:13:04.300 and we're applying

00:13:05.360 that track record

00:13:06.180 to his new role

00:13:07.600 in the same topic area.

00:13:10.780 From everything I've said

00:13:12.060 and what our priorities are.

00:13:14.100 We have a strong view

00:13:15.520 on housing

00:13:16.400 and very clear policy.

00:13:17.340 A policy developed

00:13:18.660 with a number of members

00:13:19.940 of the team,

00:13:20.900 including with Mr. Robertson.

00:13:22.880 And I'm thrilled

00:13:23.720 that he is

00:13:24.300 in the new role

00:13:26.080 because he brings

00:13:27.260 the type of experience

00:13:29.360 that we need to tackle

00:13:30.400 some aspects

00:13:31.300 of this problem.

00:13:32.560 One of them is...

00:13:33.500 Even now,

00:13:34.100 he's kind of walking

00:13:34.760 you back a little bit.

00:13:35.740 He has some experience

00:13:37.680 that you're going to help

00:13:38.340 tackle some aspects

00:13:39.540 of the current problem

00:13:40.580 because, you know,

00:13:41.640 other aspects

00:13:43.520 of his experience

00:13:44.260 would make it worse

00:13:45.260 if he was to apply

00:13:46.000 his experience

00:13:46.480 to the problem.

00:13:47.720 It's how the federal government

00:13:50.200 can help

00:13:50.820 get municipal costs

00:13:53.160 and municipal regulation

00:13:54.640 costs down

00:13:56.080 and regulation

00:13:56.640 out of the way

00:13:57.300 so that more houses

00:13:58.100 can be built.

00:13:58.960 Ultimately,

00:13:59.720 the housing crisis,

00:14:00.940 and it is a crisis,

00:14:01.940 is ultimately solved

00:14:03.100 by supply.

00:14:04.760 We can do things

00:14:05.880 to help with afford...

00:14:06.820 It honestly is not

00:14:07.980 solved by supply.

00:14:09.120 It's solved

00:14:09.500 by lowering immigration.

00:14:10.940 In Canada,

00:14:11.520 we're actually not that bad

00:14:12.740 at building houses

00:14:13.420 compared to places

00:14:14.720 in the United States

00:14:15.660 and the United Kingdom

00:14:16.800 and Australia.

00:14:17.580 We actually build houses

00:14:18.800 at a pretty fast rate

00:14:20.000 considering we have

00:14:21.460 all these regulations

00:14:22.280 and, like,

00:14:24.000 an extra developer cost

00:14:25.660 in the way

00:14:25.940 because of the government.

00:14:27.080 At the same time,

00:14:27.820 we still build houses

00:14:28.840 decently quickly,

00:14:29.860 especially considering

00:14:30.560 our climate.

00:14:31.180 It's that we can't build

00:14:33.340 a half a million houses

00:14:34.740 a year,

00:14:35.320 yet we're bringing in

00:14:36.300 sometimes, like,

00:14:36.860 a million people a year.

00:14:38.380 Some of them temporary,

00:14:39.440 but, you know,

00:14:39.900 they don't end up

00:14:40.560 being that temporary

00:14:41.460 when they keep getting

00:14:42.600 renewals approved

00:14:44.380 and more people

00:14:45.060 keep coming in behind them.

00:14:46.300 ...sortability at the start,

00:14:47.800 which is why we have

00:14:49.300 the GST cut,

00:14:50.340 but ultimately,

00:14:51.120 it's a question of supply

00:14:52.140 and, as I think you know,

00:14:53.960 Julie,

00:14:54.240 we have very aggressive

00:14:56.380 objectives on supply,

00:14:58.520 the doubling of the building

00:14:59.880 and supply across Canada.

00:15:01.460 We're going to have

00:15:02.120 to change how we build.

00:15:03.500 And a lot of that expertise,

00:15:05.360 it's not exclusively,

00:15:06.520 but a lot of it

00:15:07.100 has actually been developed

00:15:08.480 in British Columbia.

00:15:10.200 Minister Robertson

00:15:11.060 is very familiar with it.

00:15:12.840 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:15:15.560 That's so stupid.

00:15:16.620 Well, you know,

00:15:17.140 he's the right man

00:15:18.200 for the job

00:15:18.640 because he's from

00:15:19.680 British Columbia

00:15:20.400 and some of the stuff

00:15:21.180 is being done

00:15:21.640 in British Columbia.

00:15:22.840 The type of housing

00:15:23.600 you can put up

00:15:24.000 in British Columbia,

00:15:25.160 just for one thing,

00:15:26.180 is not the type of housing

00:15:27.300 you can put up

00:15:28.080 in rural Manitoba.

00:15:30.320 These modular homes

00:15:31.760 are not Manitoba,

00:15:34.160 are not built Manitoba tough.

00:15:36.620 You need houses

00:15:38.140 with a lot of insulation

00:15:39.240 for lots of parts

00:15:40.180 of Western Canada.

00:15:41.520 And by the way,

00:15:42.360 why are we lowering our gaze

00:15:44.260 when it comes

00:15:45.040 to the quality of housing?

00:15:46.420 Let's stop having nice housing

00:15:48.020 because it's easier

00:15:48.740 to build crappy housing,

00:15:51.100 just, you know,

00:15:52.180 cheddar box housing

00:15:53.380 by doing it this way.

00:15:55.180 It was like,

00:15:55.480 well, how about we just

00:15:56.220 get the regulations

00:15:56.920 out of the way

00:15:57.400 so people can build

00:15:58.360 nicer houses

00:15:59.240 and buy them for cheaper?

00:16:00.820 It's really the regulations

00:16:02.120 and the permitting

00:16:03.340 that's the problem

00:16:04.320 and the federal government

00:16:05.140 could easily

00:16:05.860 basically go to cities

00:16:07.060 saying, hey guys,

00:16:07.840 if you are wasting

00:16:09.560 developers' time

00:16:10.400 by approving

00:16:11.040 every single plot

00:16:12.760 one after another

00:16:14.120 with the same slow process

00:16:15.700 rather than just

00:16:16.260 blanket approving them

00:16:17.440 because it's going to be

00:16:18.180 pretty much the same everywhere,

00:16:19.500 then we are not giving you

00:16:20.840 transfer payments

00:16:21.760 into your city.

00:16:22.600 We're not sending your city

00:16:23.760 any assistance money

00:16:25.140 if you're making

00:16:25.820 this problem worse for us.

00:16:27.560 You would easily get

00:16:28.620 more houses being built

00:16:29.700 and people would get

00:16:30.540 quality houses

00:16:31.580 but the government

00:16:33.240 has an incentive

00:16:34.280 to keep all of the people

00:16:35.540 involved in housing regulations

00:16:37.180 and permitting employed

00:16:38.540 so let's keep,

00:16:40.020 it's still difficult

00:16:41.020 to start something

00:16:42.000 but let's just lower

00:16:43.520 the actual quality

00:16:45.080 of the housing

00:16:45.780 let's, like in a lot

00:16:46.940 of the cities now

00:16:47.480 blanket rezoning,

00:16:48.360 rather than selling someone

00:16:49.520 a single family detached house

00:16:51.040 for a million dollars

00:16:52.460 $800,000 or $900,000

00:16:54.700 let's sell them

00:16:56.500 one unit of a triplex

00:16:58.540 for $550,000, $600,000

00:17:01.360 so it's a bribe

00:17:02.680 to the developers

00:17:03.380 that on this one lot

00:17:04.860 you can now build

00:17:05.560 a triplex

00:17:06.280 which means you can sell

00:17:07.140 each one for a higher cost

00:17:09.140 or you can sell it

00:17:10.620 for a higher collective cost

00:17:12.560 between all three units

00:17:13.740 but we're not going

00:17:15.100 to make it easier to build

00:17:15.900 so either you go

00:17:17.200 through all the hoops

00:17:17.940 to build one single family

00:17:19.260 detached house

00:17:19.960 or you go through

00:17:20.800 all the hoops

00:17:21.180 to build three units

00:17:22.960 of a triplex

00:17:23.860 naturally all of the developers

00:17:25.980 who don't have a backbone

00:17:27.060 are going to say

00:17:27.660 oh that's great

00:17:28.340 because we can build

00:17:29.360 bigger things

00:17:30.460 when it's probably good

00:17:32.240 that we just make it

00:17:32.980 that it's easier

00:17:33.540 to build whatever you want

00:17:35.080 obviously some zoning

00:17:36.740 is good

00:17:37.620 I don't mind zoning

00:17:38.800 at least make it

00:17:39.900 so that if there

00:17:40.920 it's a single family

00:17:41.960 detached house area

00:17:43.300 that if someone wants

00:17:44.940 to build

00:17:45.320 they can get building

00:17:46.400 within a month

00:17:47.120 right now

00:17:48.060 you're getting to building

00:17:49.120 within like a year

00:17:50.220 which means that

00:17:51.260 there's higher costs

00:17:52.320 there's more people

00:17:53.160 sitting around

00:17:53.760 especially during

00:17:54.480 the actual construction period

00:17:55.480 the amount of time

00:17:56.660 developers pay

00:17:57.560 construction workers

00:17:58.680 and house builders

00:17:59.380 to just sit there

00:18:00.180 doing nothing

00:18:00.800 while they're waiting

00:18:01.820 for other inspections

00:18:02.800 and approvals

00:18:03.440 is adding hundreds

00:18:05.000 of thousands of dollars

00:18:05.900 to the cost of housing

00:18:06.840 if you just eliminated

00:18:08.320 all these stupid

00:18:09.260 regulatory positions

00:18:10.500 that are weighing

00:18:11.340 down the process

00:18:12.100 every single house

00:18:13.220 would start being

00:18:13.780 hundreds of thousands

00:18:14.680 of dollars less

00:18:15.540 to purchase

00:18:16.140 anyways

00:18:17.240 so that should be it

00:18:19.240 for me today guys

00:18:20.240 generally speaking

00:18:21.500 the cabinet's

00:18:22.620 not very good

00:18:23.480 is it like

00:18:24.320 nightmare fuel

00:18:25.060 no Mark Erickson

00:18:26.060 is not in the cabinet

00:18:27.240 so it is not

00:18:28.120 nightmare fuel cabinet

00:18:29.200 at least at this point

00:18:30.620 so it's really

00:18:32.540 just kind of

00:18:33.100 par for the course

00:18:33.780 for the liberals

00:18:34.620 for the Trudeau liberals

00:18:35.600 because Carney himself

00:18:36.900 is a Trudeau liberal

00:18:38.480 advisor

00:18:39.300 turned prime minister

00:18:40.360 and even in that

00:18:41.980 last clip

00:18:42.400 he even kind of

00:18:43.180 defended the GST

00:18:44.000 HST freeze

00:18:44.880 because that was

00:18:45.660 his policy

00:18:46.260 he thought

00:18:46.660 that was good

00:18:47.280 he thought

00:18:48.020 that was a good

00:18:48.520 good stuff

00:18:49.340 it was terrible

00:18:50.240 it was so bad

00:18:50.980 Chrystia Freeland

00:18:51.800 left temporarily

00:18:52.760 because it was

00:18:53.480 embarrassing

00:18:53.980 to have to push

00:18:54.640 that and then

00:18:55.100 announce a 62

00:18:55.920 billion dollar

00:18:56.660 deficit

00:18:57.080 the same year
