Summary

A quick breakdown of the new PM's cabinet, and why it's not good. (Sorry about the audio quality, I'm still getting used to it.) Mark Carney's new cabinet picks are pretty solid, but there's a lot of stuff I don't know what to make of them.


Transcript

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.
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?
00:02:49.160 I was like, she does.
00:02:50.640 She does know how to go fast.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
