Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. We gotta talk about Mark Carney again. Watching this man's
00:00:07.260
leadership campaign trudge on is absolutely mesmerizing to me, and the fact that he's a
00:00:13.040
frontrunner demonstrates there is no democracy inside the Liberal Party of Canada. It's so
00:00:19.040
obvious that all the muscle for Carney's campaign is coming from Team Trudeau, because this guy
00:00:25.520
has zero talent as a politician, and not in the sense that, oh, he's an outsider and he doesn't
00:00:31.740
do the same things that other politicians do. I mean that he doesn't have the basic traits that
00:00:37.340
anyone running for city council for the first time ever you would assume would have. He has
00:00:42.560
the worst combinations of traits I have ever seen. He is extremely boring, like watching a beige
00:00:50.240
painted wall dry. He is awful. And then the second thing is he's actually very controversial,
00:00:57.200
and not in a good way. Not like he says something that polarizes Canadians, but a lot of people say,
00:01:02.640
ooh, maybe he's onto something. No, he'll say things that make people think,
00:01:07.200
are you drunk? Like when he claimed that the opioid and fentanyl crisis in Canada is not a crisis,
00:01:14.800
it's just a challenge. But in the US, it is a crisis because he has to say something anti-American,
00:01:20.160
because certain people like that sort of thing. He has just jumped the shark once again. He jumped
00:01:26.240
the shark with some of his other past comments, and now he is wheeling around to do it once more.
00:01:32.960
He on a podcast for some reason with Anthony Scaramucci, the Trump press secretary for like
00:01:38.960
a week in his first term, claims that it's actually very good for him to be an elitist and a globalist.
00:01:46.640
Not like I'm saying that he kind of implies that. He literally says that's what people say about him,
00:01:53.360
and that's exactly what Canada needs. It's wacky. Anyways, before I get into this clip,
00:01:59.200
guys, remember to like the video, subscribe to the channel if you're not yet subscribed. I'm
00:02:03.920
breaking down a lot of these races going on around the country, like the Ontario provincial election.
00:02:09.280
Please vote for the new blue party if you're in Ontario. Doug Ford is basically just Fat Trudeau.
00:02:15.360
Leave a comment, whatever you think, but thanks for supporting the channel. It really helps me in
00:02:20.560
the algorithm if you do all that stuff, guys. Now, without further ado, here is the clip.
00:02:27.040
My strength is I know how the world works. I know how to get things done. I'm connected. I can deliver
00:02:32.400
for the country. My weakness is people will charge me as being elitist or globalist, to use that term,
00:02:41.120
which is, well, that's exactly, it happens to be exactly what we need. My weakness as a politician is
00:02:49.360
I've not been a politician, right? So I didn't go straight into, as you observed, the killer. The
00:02:55.920
point was right, but the delivery was, I'm working on it. I'm working. Also, let's first just diffuse
00:03:02.080
the idea that Mark Carney isn't a politician. Oh, I don't, I don't do these things that other
00:03:07.440
politicians do. I'm not a careerist. The man is a politician. Just because he doesn't run for office
00:03:14.080
doesn't mean he doesn't do politics. He's been doing politics for decades, and he still isn't
00:03:19.920
good at it, apparently. He's actually quite bad at it. Let's start all the way back to the start
00:03:25.600
there when he basically tried to do this weird thing where he's going to own what he thinks
00:03:30.400
as his big weakness. Oh, you know, it's a weakness that people call me a globalist and elitist, but if
00:03:36.400
you think about it, it's actually a good thing. This is stuff like that Hillary Clinton did in 2016 when
00:03:42.720
she says, if being a radical feminist means blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, then deal me in.
00:03:49.280
It's tired of the idea that I'm going to take my weakness, and I'm going to cast it into a strength.
00:03:54.880
Well, you can't do that when the thing that people are hitting you with is literally, by definition,
00:04:02.000
a political weakness. Being an elitist, believing that you are better and smarter than other people,
00:04:08.400
and you should be running their lives for them through massive regulation and, like, random
00:04:14.000
programs, that's a bad thing. Unless you're in the Soviet Union, being an elitist in government
00:04:20.560
is not good at all. And then the other thing, being a globalist, you know, I think that term gets used
00:04:27.520
too much oftentimes. Everyone that certain people don't like who are more populist becomes a globalist,
00:04:34.080
but if you were to find an actual man that we could say is the textbook definition of a globalist,
00:04:40.320
it would be Mark Carney, a man who has worked in several jurisdictions around the world, a man who
00:04:46.960
actually believes that certain industries are for some countries and certain industries are not for
00:04:53.600
others. Like him opposing oil and gas development in Canada, but investing himself in oil and gas
00:05:00.160
development in Brazil and the UAE. Somebody who actually has, like, an equity ledger in his head
00:05:07.200
and considers whether or not economic development or certain types of development are good based on if
00:05:12.880
you're already rich or not. Well, you know, Canada's well off, but Brazil isn't, so they should be able
00:05:17.680
to drill, but we shouldn't. That is insane. Him wanting a carbon tax tariff, getting rid of our consumer carbon
00:05:25.920
tax and replacing it with something where he's going to whack other countries' imports with a tariff
00:05:32.000
because they haven't adopted his preferred environmental policies. He is, again, a flat-out
00:05:39.200
globalist. He hangs up with a bunch of obviously globalist organizations like the World Economic Forum.
00:05:45.680
He's a big proponent of the UN, which is completely worthless. We should just sell off the building.
00:05:51.360
I know I'm not an American, but we should ask Trump to sell off the UN's building and then just turn it
00:05:58.080
into apartments or something. It would be far better. The United Nations is completely worthless.
00:06:04.000
John Bolton was right about them in the early 2000s, and everyone attacks him even as, like, some UN guy,
00:06:10.160
even though he's anti them, but whatever. Moving on. Mark Carney here, too, is just, like,
00:06:18.480
the thing is about the whole thing about he's not a politician and, oh, I'm learning the ropes or
00:06:22.960
whatever. Like, the thing is, he has so much assistance behind him. There are actually just
00:06:29.040
people who have run dozens of campaigns running his campaign, and right now, as I've shown in other
00:06:34.080
videos, he's only outpacing Chrystia Freeland by nine points. And remember that this poll is of Liberal
00:06:42.320
Party members only. Verified, these people were asked, they are card-carrying members and can vote
00:06:48.400
in this leadership race. He's only at 38% with Chrystia Freeland at 29%, and I can guarantee you
00:06:54.080
Frank Bayliss and Ruby Dalla are probably going to push their support behind Freeland. And then,
00:07:01.680
I think Gould tends to be the power broker here. Even if Carney wins, it's not a good win. This is like
00:07:08.960
how Stefan Dion had to go to, like, three or four ballots to become the Liberal leader in, like, 2007
00:07:14.800
or whatever, 2006. And then you had Kim Campbell in 1993 having to go to a second ballot in order to
00:07:22.160
beat, actually, it might have been, like, a third ballot, in order to beat Jean Charest. It looks really
00:07:27.120
bad if you're supposedly such a political juggernaut that you need a fourth ballot to potentially overcome
00:07:34.080
Chrystia Freeland, who is the only person possibly with less personality than Mark Carney. But again,
00:07:41.680
the whole scope of Mark Carney's campaign has just been constant flubs, constant downplaying of issues,
00:07:50.000
saying things that are utterly insane on policy, you know, carbon tax tariffs, saying the fentanyl
00:07:55.200
crisis isn't a crisis, saying that it's good to be an elitist and all this stuff, proposing, like,
00:08:00.800
I think he had some other crazy tariff policy at some point. But everything he does is just
00:08:05.920
wonkish nonsense that I hate, but I don't want to ramble too much. He's just the type of person
00:08:11.360
who legitimately thinks that if we just pass enough regulations, we're going to win. Like,
00:08:16.240
that Canada is just regulated enough that our economy will just be good. And I think Pierre
00:08:23.600
Polyev is actually perfectly situated to beat Mark Carney. That man loves talking about monetary policy.
00:08:29.760
And Carney's entire career is supposedly being very good at monetary policy,
00:08:34.640
even though his early successes in the aughts were because of Harper and Flaherty. And then when he
00:08:42.080
became the Bank of England governor, people like Liz Trust have said that he was awful. He would
00:08:47.120
constantly threaten people for not going along with his plans. And his plans would, in fact,
00:08:54.080
Here's a post of somebody trying to attack Pierre Polyev to end on this. This is not going to fly,
00:09:00.400
guys. I know this is just some random person, but when you actually look at the results of what they
00:09:05.760
post, this stuff gets a lot of traction. And when I saw what the Liberal Party was posting today to
00:09:12.560
oppose, to, like, try and needle Pierre Polyev during his Canada first speech, it struck me like this.
00:09:19.920
You're not going to be able to win the next elections, Liberals, by comparing just by comparing
00:09:25.520
Pierre Polyev to Donald Trump. It's not how it works. Good policy is good policy. And while many
00:09:31.120
Canadians, I find, historically don't like Trump, at the same time, people, if you just take Trump's
00:09:37.920
policies, a lot of his policies, and you just have a Canadian politician advocate for them, they'll
00:09:43.760
actually be pretty popular. People don't like the immigration rights right now. People hate the
00:09:48.240
crime. People hate the taxes. If you basically run on what Trump did in the U.S. and Canada,
00:09:54.240
you'll do quite well. So, you know, don't threaten people with a good time when it comes to saying that
00:10:00.160
Pierre Polyev is going to be like Trump in a lot of ways.
00:10:02.560
But yeah, Mark Carney, I've, to end off on this, is he going to win? Maybe. People are saying he's
00:10:10.960
going to call him an election in March. I really don't think so. I think even Mark knows that his
00:10:15.760
campaign is just baggage city right now. People haven't even really started digging into him,
00:10:20.640
and when they do, they're going to find out that he has so many radical positions on many,
00:10:26.400
many policy areas. But anyways, that's it for me today, guys. Don't be a globalist. See you guys later.
