The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney's LIES Catch Up With Him - Liberals Blew It on Bridge and Trade Talks with Trump

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:05.840 I do not understand the psychology of Prime Minister Mark Carney,

00:00:10.440 because throughout this entire Gordie Howe bridge deal fiasco,

00:00:15.060 we all knew he was lying, and he just kept lying about it, 1.00

00:00:19.480 despite the fact that he was inevitably going to get nailed on this issue and look like a complete jerk. 0.99

00:00:26.300 Now, that day has come when at a press conference with the premiers of Canada, 0.98

00:00:31.140 a reporter went after him hard for lying about what the Gordie Howe Bridge deal said.

00:00:37.240 He said that it was profit sharing and the Americans wouldn't even get any money for years,

00:00:41.460 and then the actual text of the deal came out proving that it was a revenue split

00:00:46.600 after some very minor maintenance costs that Canada got to maintain the bridge.

00:00:51.420 Check out this three-minute back and forth between Carney and a reporter at this news conference.

00:00:57.060 Drew, CTV News, for the Prime Minister, you told CTV News explicitly on July 12 that the splitting of profits or net revenue with the U.S. from the Gordie Howe Bridge would only happen after accounting for the debt of the bridge, but that's not what the text of the New Deal says.

00:01:14.580 So, was that a lie, and were you downplaying your concessions to Trump?

00:01:18.900 He's such a child. He did lie. And he's still there making faces at a reporter from CTV News, which is not exactly a conservative outlet. I would say that CTV News is even to the left of CBC most of the time. And he's still, you know, rolling his eyes and making faces when he's being confronted about lying.

00:01:39.300 this is what i mean when i say i don't understand the psychology of this man

00:01:43.020 this day was always going to come and he's acting like you're creating a problem for him

00:01:48.580 by not going along with the most obvious lie on the planet he basically said that the color red

00:01:54.580 was the color blue and then it was revealed that in fact the color blue is the color blue

00:01:59.460 and he's mad at you for pointing it out to him sure accounting for the debt of the bridge but

00:02:04.520 that's not what the text of the new deal says so look look at this first face he makes right here

00:02:11.700 it's it's pretty pretty great this does need to be part of the thumbnail for this video here

00:02:16.840 and then he moves on to this one were you downplay look at that one not not a happy camper being

00:02:23.900 asked about the whether or not he told the truth saying your concessions to trump

00:02:29.260 Thank you for the question. First, let's be clear about what the deal is and isn't with respect to the bridge. And the first thing is, this is a good deal. This is a good deal for Canadian businesses, workers. It's a good deal for the future of our commerce with them.

00:02:51.420 So to put it in context, there is $300 billion a year of trade on the land link between Michigan and Ontario.

00:03:05.460 And Premier Ford knows every dime of that trade.

00:03:09.400 He's got it tracked.

00:03:10.360 So $300 billion, a huge amount of trade.

00:03:12.480 So this creates an important link.

00:03:14.500 And it's an absolute, you know, it's an engineering marvel, and it's a testament to the workers who created it.

00:03:18.800 So that's what he's doing here.

00:03:21.920 As you know, from previous press conferences, when he's asked an uncomfortable question, he's buying time, saying nothing.

00:03:29.840 But I just want to quickly rewind to the beginning of his answer.

00:03:33.080 He said, well, the first thing we have to know, he's telling all the default liberals out there to stay on team liberal, because don't worry, I'm telling you this is a good deal.

00:03:42.600 Like, OK, why do you lie about it then?

00:03:46.380 I don't lie when good things happen and pretend something different happened. Usually, if something

00:03:52.720 good happened, like I had, you know, signed a fantastic deal with the United States, I'd be

00:03:58.580 going around ballyhooing it and talking about how fantastic this deal is. And I got, you know,

00:04:05.600 I got some concessions out of the Americans, and this is going to create massive amounts of

00:04:09.860 investment in Canada. But he didn't do that, because that's not what this deal is. He's

00:04:14.680 basically acting as if he created the bridge by signing this deal. It's like, no, the bridge

00:04:20.020 existed already. It was, in fact, pushed forward by Stephen Harper, you know, a former conservative

00:04:26.060 prime minister. And what the original deal was supposed to be was 100% of revenues for the

00:04:31.880 Canadian government. That was the original deal. And now we're splitting 50-50 net revenues after

00:04:37.240 some maintenance costs with the Americans. Doesn't seem great. Maybe he's saying, well, we went from

00:04:42.360 great to being a good deal so remember it's still a good deal it's like okay why did you lie that's

00:04:49.240 always going to be the elephant of the room you can't say well you know really you should be

00:04:53.160 congratulating me for getting this thing signed you know the thing i was denying that the deal was

00:04:58.020 secondly the underlying agreement between the crates and importantly and it's an absolute you

00:05:03.380 know it's an engineering marvel and it's a testament to the workers who created it so

00:05:06.660 that secondly the underlying agreement between canada and michigan remains in place that's the

00:05:14.640 underlying full text weighty agreement i'm i'm illustrating the you know the thickness of uh

00:05:21.280 of that agreement yes we understand it's a thick agreement there's a lot of stipulations and clauses

00:05:26.420 in it problem is you lied again like we're gonna keep just saying the lie word because it's very

00:05:32.420 relevant here. I don't care that 95% of the text commas and periods are still the same. I care

00:05:40.020 about that significant portion, even if it's only one page of a thousand page agreement. That one

00:05:46.040 page is significant where we went from getting 100% of the net revenues to 50% of the net revenues.

00:05:55.480 That is what some people would call significant, even if it's only one page. But he's being such

00:06:01.900 weasel and basically acting like, well, you know, the vast majority, 99.9% of the text is the same.

00:06:08.380 I'm like, well, I think the significant part is the 100% number was edited to be 50% for Canada

00:06:17.420 and 50% for the United States. That's the problem here. The public domain. Under that agreement,

00:06:24.580 there is no splitting of tolls under that agreement, which is what I was referring to,

00:06:30.540 perhaps imperfectly, but there's no splitting of tolls under that agreement until all of the debt

00:06:36.020 is repaid, debt from Canada. For reference, and it depends on how much traffic and the various

00:06:43.580 sensitivities, but for reference, that's about 50 years. It takes about 50 years for that to

00:06:49.760 kick in. In parallel with this, there is an agreement in principle, which was published

00:06:56.620 earlier this week between uh canada and the united states and under that agreement there is a sharing

00:07:04.140 of net revenues after operating expenses various other expenses not including debt repayment that's

00:07:10.460 i should have been clearer that's referred to in the michigan agreement with respect to tolls but

00:07:15.260 that is no no he's acting like i was i was just going over so much complicated details and that's

00:07:23.020 That's why I maybe wasn't clear enough.

00:07:25.540 Guys, he was crystal clear because he was marketing that he didn't make big concessions

00:07:30.160 because, hey, they're only going to get a 50-50 split after operating costs,

00:07:35.700 after we pay for operating costs, maintenance,

00:07:40.600 we pay off some of the principle of construction, we pay off the interest.

00:07:45.420 Then if there's like five bucks left over, they can have $2.50.

00:07:49.200 That's what he was portraying to the Canadian people,

00:07:51.620 Which is why that is what the media was running with for over a week.

00:07:56.880 I don't think Mark Carney is incapable of reading.

00:08:00.060 He and his team could have read what the media was printing and said,

00:08:03.000 oh, they're getting it wrong. That's not actually what we meant.

00:08:06.180 Let's go send in a correction so they understand. Let's post a statement.

00:08:09.880 No, they didn't do that because they were trying to mislead people.

00:08:14.520 They were lying to people.

00:08:17.140 That was what was going on there.

00:08:19.060 Just in case we keep having the word lie escape from the conversation, they were lying.

00:08:26.580 That is what happened here.

00:08:28.840 We only get maintenance costs and basically clearing the snow.

00:08:34.020 Operating costs don't even come out of it.

00:08:36.360 Maintenance, by the way, for a brand new infrastructure asset is extremely low.

00:08:41.640 You're not exactly going to be replacing that many parts of the bridge over the next 15 years or so.

00:08:47.320 Not much really goes on.

00:08:49.060 in that time period, and the snow removal is an absolute rounding error when it comes to what

00:08:54.380 the tolls would be used to pay for. The Americans are coming out very good on this deal,

00:09:01.080 and that is why Mark Carney was avoiding the inevitable. I don't know why he was trying to

00:09:05.920 avoid the inevitable, because he just looks stupider by trying to lie about what was in the 0.97

00:09:09.660 deal, but he was avoiding it because he was embarrassed by what ended up happening. And it 0.96

00:09:14.780 really does demonstrate to us, do we want this man negotiating a larger trade deal between Canada

00:09:20.740 and the United States? Well, it doesn't really even matter because he's not even attempting to

00:09:25.260 do it, which we will be getting to later in this video, when he effectively admits that he's no

00:09:30.100 longer trying to pursue a trade agreement. And instead, he's trying to create a east to west

00:09:34.600 trade, you know, agreement between all the provinces or whatever. Apparently, we can

00:09:39.120 we can replace our biggest trade partner by just sending, you know, more goods to Brandon,

00:09:44.600 Manitoba from Alberta or whatever. And I guess PEI is going to try and send more potatoes

00:09:49.280 over to British Columbia. You know, I guess the Yukon potato people won't be too happy about that

00:09:54.900 one. Well, let's finish up this clip and then get to some of the others. Under the parallel

00:09:58.820 agreement. But the sharing of proceeds with the United States goes into economic development that

00:10:06.400 would support traffic ultimately on the bridge so there's an alignment of incense uh the combination

00:10:14.640 of that agreement and the sharing under that that's like splitting revenues on an asset you

00:10:20.240 fully paid for like a rental house the example that peer poly have used with somebody that

00:10:25.120 doesn't actually own the rental house uh and then you're then you're trying to declare it as a

00:10:31.120 victory because well maybe someone will use that split uh to you know for some beautification of

00:10:37.280 the neighborhood because they also own a property and maybe they'll put some flower beds in it will

00:10:41.520 make everything look better it's like the the actual impact of that economic development fund

00:10:47.440 on canada is going to be minute it's mostly just going to benefit michigan business owners in the

00:10:53.280 general area it's not going to help more traffic flow over the border it is a very marginal impact

00:11:00.400 on the overall economics okay very marginal because it takes time for traffic to ramp up

00:11:06.800 there's various costs there's very sharing it gets fed back in and to put it in order of magnitude

00:11:13.040 it's less than five percent in present value of the overall cost of developing the bridge so that's

00:11:18.960 the overall what it is what it isn't and yeah could i have explained it better uh on a sunday

00:11:24.240 morning at stampede yeah with a cowboy hat on yes i can explain it better uh and uh i explained it

00:11:31.360 better uh in london ontario at gdls uh but i appreciate the opportunity and no he he never

00:11:39.080 explained it better anywhere and again if he explained it poorly he would have known about it

00:11:44.100 and he could have corrected himself he didn't explain it poorly he lied badly he lied very

00:11:49.400 obviously. That is the only thing he regrets here, is that he ended up getting caught. And he's

00:11:54.320 trying to say, well, it's not really all that much when it comes to how much we're splitting. It's

00:11:58.160 only like giving away 5% of the, you know, the cost of what the bridge is. I'm just going to say

00:12:03.380 this right here. I don't believe you. Do you know why? Because you lied. And by the way, let's say

00:12:10.240 it is only that much. And it really is a big drop the bucket when it comes to the Canadian economy

00:12:15.400 of what's being given away. Symbolically, this is pathetic. This looks really bad at the same time 0.99

00:12:22.940 a bunch of our premiers are trying to go all elbows up and say, I'm going to take the American

00:12:26.860 booze off the shelves to show those yanks. And then our prime minister is just folding all over 0.99

00:12:32.560 the place. Now, I think the booze bans are really stupid. It doesn't really strengthen our hand in 1.00

00:12:37.060 any significant way. It just looks petty, if anything. You know, obviously, I think we should

00:12:41.920 be playing negotiating hardball, I really think the booze thing ends up just being like a dumb 0.94

00:12:46.360 trying to like pretend symbolic victory at a time when we're actually taking symbolic losses as well. 0.88

00:12:52.680 So it's not even like we've been presenting some united front or whatever. And it is actually

00:12:57.960 correct saying that we're more vulnerable to an alcohol ban than the United States is. If they

00:13:03.640 ever put a tariff on Canadian alcohol products entering the United States, it would damage us

00:13:08.000 far more because in places like British Columbia, BC sends three times as much alcohol over the

00:13:13.200 border into the U.S. than the U.S. sends into British Columbia. It would have a much bigger

00:13:18.580 impact on us if they ended up counter-tariffing us on that. That doesn't mean you never counter-tariff,

00:13:23.680 you never sort of get your back up against the wall and push back. I'm just saying that their

00:13:27.920 whole approach, the liberal premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney, has been incoherent.

00:13:34.240 But now, in a second, I want to get over to this clip where Mark Carney then presents his new idea to try and, I guess, replace the United States or something like that.

00:13:47.520 We're going to create one Canadian economy in order to replace the United States.

00:13:52.340 You know that thing that he hasn't accomplished in like a year and a half now?

00:13:56.340 Apparently, now it's gut check time, and he's definitely going to do it, and you know, because he would never lie to you.

00:14:02.880 I know that. Mark Carney has never lied to us ever. Ever. Ever. Anyways, so before we get into

00:14:10.540 this next clip, I do just want to remind you guys, if you like the show, make sure to leave a like

00:14:34.760 my list for WyattClaypool.com because I'm considering running in the riding of Calgary

00:14:40.560 Curry for the United Conservative Party in the upcoming Alberta provincial election next fall.

00:14:46.560 Anyways, but now let's get into this next clip I want to play. Thank you for Juno News for

00:14:51.380 clipping some of the stuff out of the press conference so I don't need to find it myself

00:14:55.120 in the, I think it's like almost an hour-long press conference.

00:14:59.920 We also are acting to take down barriers that we've built that exist within this economy.

00:15:09.140 Today, we agreed to work towards agreement in principle, to adopt model mutual recognition,

00:15:15.660 to build one Canadian market, to let Canadians work wherever their skills are needed,

00:15:20.760 drawing on the best advantages of provincial legislation.

00:15:25.120 The Committee on Internal Trade will begin that work this summer.

00:15:29.520 If we get this right, a nurse licensed in Ontario who moves to Nova Scotia

00:15:33.580 will be able to start caring for patients right away.

00:15:36.820 Manufacturer in BC who's already approved to sell engineered wood for homes in Alberta

00:15:41.420 will be able to sell it anywhere in Canada instead of waiting years for that.

00:15:45.660 It's workers and goods moving freely, growing our prosperity.

00:15:50.620 So remember, this press conference with the premiers is happening in the aftermath of Trump's ticking time bomb on new tariffs,

00:15:58.880 where he's going to impose 50% tariffs on a bunch of new goods unless we get to a deal.

00:16:04.640 And Carney's response is that we're going to have another panel of premiers talk about how we can do more interprovincial trade.

00:16:12.620 What? How is it taking this long to get any of the stuff done?

00:16:16.680 Let's take the nurses issue that he just brought up there.

00:16:20.020 Nurses from Nova Scotia should be able to work in British Columbia or from Ontario to Manitoba and Manitoba to New Brunswick.

00:16:28.100 Your credentials should be able to transfer all over Canada.

00:16:32.240 And we're going to put together a committee or some other body together to study this issue to try and bridge the gaps between the different systems.

00:16:42.580 How about all the premiers just sign something today authorizing that if a nurse from Alberta

00:16:48.140 goes to Nova Scotia or Newfoundland goes to British Columbia, you can work default. If there

00:16:53.060 are problems, we'll figure out the problems later, but we need more nurses to be able to move around 1.00

00:16:57.120 more freely so you can work ASAP. That would be a good way of doing this, but we're going to put 1.00

00:17:02.200 together a new pricey bureaucratic body to study the issue and probably not come up with anything

00:17:07.940 in another year's time. I need to cut over to my fellow content creating friend J.J. McCullough

00:17:15.140 because I think he has such a great take on this issue and he has for quite a while here because

00:17:19.800 this thing really irks him the way that Mark Carney keeps doing these press conferences with

00:17:25.620 all the premiers pretending like we're going to be building one strong Canadian economy from

00:17:30.220 east to west. So right here Mark Carney in a post six hours ago said in Charlottetown the

00:17:36.040 premiers and I are focused on what we can control. Energy affordability and security, breaking down

00:17:40.960 barriers to labor mobility, getting big things built faster. And there's a photo of him with

00:17:47.840 all the premiers around a square table here. And then I just want to jump up to what J.J. McCullough

00:17:54.100 said. And he says, it's seriously incredible how many of these pointless premier meetings he's

00:17:58.740 managed to cram into one year in office and how the press continues to obediently report on them

00:18:03.940 like they're somehow achieving anything. It's all awe of cheap spectacle, which this photo

00:18:13.940 captures well. And then he goes down and says, I mean, I posted this back in January. And I

00:18:20.420 remember I showed this post on my show back then as well. JJ back in January said, I just threw

00:18:26.440 this together now. Carney keeps having all of these dumb meetings with the premiers in which 0.96

00:18:31.260 he says the exact same thing every time, and yet somehow he still needs to keep having the same 0.97

00:18:36.360 meeting even more, followed by the exact same talking points forever. And if you can see on

00:18:43.200 the screen here, it goes from March of 2025 all the way into January of 2026, where back in March

00:18:51.460 25, he says, the premiers and I are focused on building one strong Canadian economy. It's time

00:18:56.040 to break down internal trade barriers. It's time that workers certified in one province are allowed

00:19:00.360 to work in anywhere in the country it's time to build big things without rounds of red tape we're

00:19:06.260 stronger and we're united and it's time to unite and as of January 29th 2026 and of course he's

00:19:12.260 done this a few more times since then he says Canada's stronger more prosperous and more secure

00:19:17.260 when we are united that's why the premiers and I and I are meeting in Ottawa today to break down

00:19:22.540 trade internal trade barriers accelerate major projects and build to what does he say here

00:19:27.900 and build a stronger and more sustainable, more independent Canadian economy.

00:19:32.720 So he's basically been saying the same thing on repeat for like a year and a half now. 0.99

00:19:39.100 I would love to know how much these stupid meetings with all the premiers are costing Canadian taxpayers. 0.99

00:19:45.580 How many taxpayer dollars are being spent to fly all these people out 1.00

00:19:51.740 to talk about something that they are apparently not achieving anything on if they keep having to have meetings.

00:19:57.820 J.J. then followed that repost of his January post up with this comment.

00:20:02.340 He says here, Canada's news media is very credulous towards things that involve big, formal, flashy events, even if nothing happens at said event.

00:20:13.000 I think because events are easy to cover, budget days, throne speeches, premier summits, those meetings the Assembly of First Nations always has.

00:20:21.220 And yeah, the media keeps covering this as if they're doing anything.

00:20:25.880 But apparently, guys, they did achieve something. Now we need to jump over to Mark Carney's signal achievement out of this meeting with the premiers. Apparently, we are now going to be able to move booze around the country a little bit easier. This is actually something big that they've been touting. I think he posted about this yesterday. I want to find it here.

00:20:48.760 uh okay there we go uh prime minister carney carney posted this yesterday and he says building

00:20:58.880 one strong canadian economy over a cbc headline that reads nine premiers to allow wineries

00:21:05.060 distilleries breweries to sell directly to consumers across provinces uh considering

00:21:10.820 there's one province missing i'm going to assume it's quebec there but this does nothing nine

00:21:17.120 premiers to allow wineries, distilleries, breweries to sell directly to consumers across

00:21:21.180 provinces? That is not the problem. The problem in the wine, beer, and spirits industry in Canada

00:21:29.000 is not whether these companies can sell direct to consumers. The problem is, outside of Alberta

00:21:34.740 and Saskatchewan, alcohol sales are effectively controlled by the government. Ontario, Manitoba,

00:21:40.860 British Columbia, all the Maritimes, and Quebec, the government effectively runs the entire

00:21:46.820 industry. Now, people will say in Alberta, well, there's the AGLC that controls sometimes importing

00:21:53.200 of alcoholic products that then liquor stores buy from them. But that's a pretty casual system.

00:22:00.040 You can bring in pretty much anything you want through AGLC, and they'll let you do it.

00:22:04.540 They really don't control that much. They simply help facilitate some middleman importation for

00:22:10.580 many of these smaller stores. Bigger ones oftentimes can handle this stuff on their own.

00:22:15.340 the problem is in the industry in canada is places like bc who have the government control things

00:22:22.420 they don't want to bring in things from alberta and saskatchewan and manitoba and the rest of the

00:22:27.020 and the rest of the country because the issue is they want to stock as much local stuff on the

00:22:32.800 shelves not because they have a big love of local but it's effectively a subsidy towards the

00:22:38.580 distilleries and brewers and wineries in their regions to have their products basically have a

00:22:44.360 monopoly on the shelves. Now, there is competition within the province, but there is a reason why

00:22:48.880 their reputation in BC is that you can buy BC wines cheaper in Alberta than you can in British

00:22:54.720 Columbia. And it's not just a sales tax issue. It's because everyone can sell in Alberta and

00:22:59.400 only mainly BC places can sell in British Columbia outside of staple products that are pretty much

00:23:05.100 sold pretty much everywhere on the planet, like Crown Royal, Alberta Premium, and stuff like that.

00:23:10.180 But now I want to jump over to the CBC news segment that Jasmine Lane ended up highlighting yesterday.

00:23:18.740 I thought this was quite funny, a great find from her.

00:23:21.740 She says, CBC may never invite him back on.

00:23:25.480 Ron Kubek calls out the illusions of the government's latest interprovincial trade barrier announcement.

00:23:32.660 Now, I will be skipping through this a little bit because I want to get to when the interviewer actually has him on.

00:23:38.480 because i i find it very obnoxious how the first question they asked is about donald trump and how

00:23:43.600 bad he is because that is always the setup in all cbc interviews these days you know trump bad right

00:23:50.400 trump bad basically poisoning the well against any criticisms of the canadian government because

00:23:55.440 we've already set up that the americans are the problem in retaliation to canada being threatened

00:24:01.440 by trump in retaliation to canada taking american booze off the shelves as a business owner what

00:24:07.840 do you make of this move well first we were very dismayed and i had to work with my u.s rep who is

00:24:15.380 now putting together another order so we can get it down there before the new tariffs but the ironic

00:24:20.180 thing is chris is that the 50 tariff that mr trump is wanting to put on is still less than what every

00:24:25.820 other province puts on us in canada and so you know the illusion or the free trade illusion that's

00:24:31.400 coming out of charlottetown is really just that i mean this is just taking what they had said they

00:24:36.840 were going to do last year and they're just regurgitating it and repackaging it but it's

00:24:41.860 still nothing but the the fact is is that it says the legal loopholes for allowing me to ship my

00:24:47.360 wine across the country means i've got to get registered register every wine do all these

00:24:51.700 different things but it still keeps the provincial markups in place so if the premiers were serious

00:24:57.300 they would really open up canada as a as an answer to mr trump but they're not they haven't

00:25:02.440 It's a free trade illusion what they're doing right now.

00:25:06.100 Great way of summing it up.

00:25:08.380 If he actually wants to take advantage of this new system that the premier's negotiated,

00:25:12.980 he would have to go through all these regulatory hoops,

00:25:15.760 and then he has to sell directly to singular consumers.

00:25:19.440 Maybe it would be like restaurants and people wanting to buy cases from them.

00:25:24.240 But overall, not really worth it because you have to deal in economies of scale as a winery.

00:25:29.400 You're not exactly a small mom-and-pop shop just making, you know, singular bottles of things down in your basement.

00:25:36.080 You're making tens of thousands of bottles a year.

00:25:38.760 You're not going to just jump through a bunch of hoops to send two boxes to some random restaurant out in Winnipeg or out in Toronto.

00:25:46.960 You're just not even going to bother with the whole system.

00:25:49.160 And the main thing is the government putting in place effectively massive taxes against out-of-province alcoholic products.

00:25:57.340 That is the problem that is actually going on here. And it's the core reason why we are having a problem dealing with the United States. It's because we have an effectively basket case economy that we can't use as leverage against the Americans because our own economy doesn't function as well as the American economy.

00:26:15.600 The ability for Manitoba or for British Columbia to trade with Ontario, move products from B.C. to Ontario, is much more difficult than sending things from B.C. to like Texas or Connecticut or Georgia.

00:26:31.380 It's just the truth. It's a big problem right now that it is somehow easier to interact with American states over an international border than within your own country.

00:26:40.840 But now let's jump over to this clip of Angus. I was going to say Charlie Angus. There he goes. I was about to call him Angus King, who's the independent senator from Maine. I don't know why that was popping up in my head.

00:26:55.300 But he does a great job of distilling the liberal slop take on the current trade situation.

00:27:06.420 These people are not living in reality.

00:27:08.280 He is pushing this lie that I've highlighted the other day as well, that Trump is gutless. 1.00

00:27:14.300 Trump is a coward. 0.98

00:27:16.320 The start of this video, you will remember we were just talking about Carney lying about capitulating to the U.S. on the Gordie Howe Bridge. 0.98

00:27:23.820 But Charlie Angus and his Midas Touch network, which is actually a foreign-funded progressive activist group from America, he and Midas Touch are here to tell us that Trump's actually the problem when it comes to trade.

00:27:38.280 Now, I don't think Trump is helping the trade situation.

00:27:41.360 Obviously, he's the one who tariffed us.

00:27:43.400 But let's not pretend that somehow the Canadian government's doing a great job on this. 0.86

00:27:48.860 We're, in fact, under tariffs because they suck at negotiating. 0.74

00:27:53.340 Check out this. 0.95

00:27:54.420 You know, it's gutless. 0.99

00:27:55.820 This guy, he's a thug. 0.99

00:27:57.920 He's gutless on this. 0.98

00:27:59.000 He couldn't look Prime Minister Carney in the face and say, I'm coming after your hockey sticks, because he probably knew that Prime Minister Carney would laugh at him.

00:28:07.500 So he's got to go to True Social and try and rally the base.

00:28:11.060 Don't worry.

00:28:11.860 I'm going after those Canadian hockey sticks.

00:28:14.020 They're going to pay.

00:28:15.640 We don't need to listen to the rest of this.

00:28:17.400 that is already delusional enough that prolonged exposure will hurt your brain. You might develop

00:28:24.740 a tumor from listening to Charlie Angus. He's gutless. He's a coward. He wouldn't look Mark 0.75

00:28:31.620 Carney in the eye. What are we talking about? Carney was the one who just gave him 50%

00:28:37.420 net revenue shares on the Gordie Howe bridge tolls. Mark Carney is the one who has been skipping

00:28:44.580 meetings. We have not been sending trade delegates down to meetings about the U.S. considering new

00:28:52.080 tariffs when Mexico showed up. Now, Pierre Polyev has been doing the right thing and he is using

00:28:58.140 the right messaging on this issue. I thought that this was a brilliant way of using Mark Carney's

00:29:05.280 own words against him, because this is the only way I think that you are going to sort of, you

00:29:09.160 know crowbar out some of those elbows up liberals from the liberal base basically showing them mark

00:29:15.780 carney isn't living up to his own standard now that doesn't mean we need to be elbows up liberals 0.97

00:29:19.800 to get their votes but we need to show them the how just foolish how just completely without merit

00:29:27.040 that strategy has been here poly of here says leader the conservative party says carney said

00:29:32.920 at davos that if you are not at the table you are on the menu mexico showed up at the table

00:29:38.940 Carney did not. Who was on the menu? I think that this is very good messaging from Pierre

00:29:44.540 Polyev, and he has been going after him pretty aggressively on the Gordie Howe bridge thing as

00:29:49.200 well and connecting it to the issue of the current trade negotiations. Now I want to play one more

00:29:55.280 clip to check in with how the liberal left is doing in the aftermath of the Gordie Howe bridge

00:30:01.240 issue and the new tariff threat. So we're going to go over to our favorite friend, Laura Babcock.

00:30:07.000 This is not Laura Babcock. She did not get a sudden glow up and grew a beard. But here she is, again, trying to whitewash the fact that Carney has been capitulating constantly to the Americans and making this about a national rally around the flag moment once again.

00:30:24.520 and it's going to survive and we're never going to become Americans and I just have to say for 0.99

00:30:30.380 every single person out there who is pretending to be Canadian just to stir the shit you know 0.97

00:30:36.260 all the foreign influence online f you but for the Canadians who are out there looking for ways 0.99

00:30:44.040 to call balls and strikes and say that Carney keeps striking out at the plate and oh look how 1.00

00:30:49.480 trump's winning like check yourselves check yourselves because you're either ignorant as 1.00

00:30:54.820 fuck or you're traitors to our country when we are under attack and this attack is not just a 1.00

00:31:01.160 temporary trade war this is a trade war with the intention to escalate to the point where they 1.00

00:31:07.160 break our economy so they can take our country yeah that that that is the hardcore elbows up

00:31:15.160 liberal that's the person you'll you'll never win but more people who voted liberal in 2025 i would

00:31:21.200 actually recommend they watch some of these clips of laura babcock i think they would kind of realize

00:31:26.400 that this elbows up thing has turned into a cult what was she even claiming like apparently if you 0.82

00:31:31.520 call balls and strikes on the performance on trade of mark carney and the liberals that you're a bot 0.99

00:31:38.800 or you're a traitor or you're ignorant like i'm sorry are we not allowed to call balls and strikes 0.99

00:31:46.280 anymore apparently we are not because that truly is the liberal position you just have to clap for 1.00

00:31:51.980 the canadian government no matter what they're doing simply because they're not the americans

00:31:56.000 i'm not cheering the americans on i'm in fact basically like watching a sports team 0.99

00:32:01.640 underperforming and saying can we replace the coach can we get rid of that pocky player he 0.91

00:32:07.280 can't even skate and laura apparently would turn to you and say hey so you don't support our local 0.98

00:32:13.500 team and i'm like well i do i just don't i want to stop losing and but apparently losing is part 1.00

00:32:20.280 of the game plan if you don't understand it you're ignorant as f and you're a bot and you're a traitor 0.99

00:32:25.060 and all this stuff at the same time she is a frequent guest on charlie angus's show on the 0.99

00:32:30.820 Midas Touch Network in Canada, Midas Canada, which is a progressive left front group funded out of

00:32:38.100 the United States. That is something so funny, I can't even comprehend it. Charlie Angus and

00:32:44.640 Laura Babcock and all these people are always fear-mongering about foreign interference and

00:32:50.100 the Americans trying to take Alberta out of Canada, and they're also funding all these people

00:32:56.020 criticizing Mark Carney. But also, I'll take the progressive Democrat money from the US to talk

00:33:02.500 about how bad Donald Trump is all day and talking about why Canada shouldn't want to deal with the

00:33:07.680 Americans. I'm totally fine with being a progressive American pawn in order to basically

00:33:13.420 message against Donald Trump so that I can hurt him in the midterms, because that's what Midas

00:33:19.460 Touch is doing. They are trying to separate Canada from the United States while Republicans are in

00:33:24.820 power so that they can offer themselves up as the only way of bridging the gap between Canada and

00:33:30.000 the Americans in getting back to free and fair trade. Now, I want free trade, but these people

00:33:35.020 are not honest. They are effectively funding an organization to push Canada and the Americans

00:33:41.680 apart further, which is not helpful. That is why we always get messaging out of people like Charlie

00:33:48.180 Angus and Laura Babcock and these other individuals that emphasizes that we don't want an agreement

00:33:53.720 with the Americans. We don't want to deal with them. We want to deal with China. It's, in fact, 0.92

00:33:58.060 a big win that Mark Carney is dealing with the communist Chinese. What? They're locking up a 1.00

00:34:03.340 million Uyghur Muslims and putting them in work camps? Well, at least they're not Americans. 1.00

00:34:07.460 Then we'll deal with those guys. This stuff is just maddening. Anyways, with all that being said, 1.00
