00:00:00.000 Prime Minister Mark Carney just screwed up, and I don't think he realizes how bad it is.
00:00:06.340 Carney and the liberals want to give themselves an excuse to not go back to the negotiating table
00:00:11.840 to hammer out a trade deal with Trump and the Americans.
00:00:15.200 And so Carney, in an interview with the New York Times,
00:00:18.900 pulled out the U.S. invasion card that puts him on such a high rhetorical pedestal,
00:00:24.640 I don't think he can get back down.
00:00:26.520 Now, he probably thinks this is a good idea.
00:00:29.280 it gets the elbows up base riled up yes of course we can't negotiate with the united states they
00:00:34.160 could invade us but how do you ever actually get back to the table now without having to do a
00:00:40.320 massive climb down that would be embarrassing for mark carney look at the the headlines right now
00:00:47.180 on google on this topic it goes from canadian publications all the way down to american
00:00:51.840 publications the globe and mail here says carney prepared for risk that trump might order military
00:00:57.720 action against Canada. Financial Post. Carney tells New York Times he looked at extreme
00:01:03.040 tail risk of U.S. invasion. And then you even have Fox News. Canada PM Carney says he prepared
00:01:11.320 for Trump ordering an invasion. What the heck? Like, guys, I don't like the U.S. tariffs. I think 0.93
00:01:20.080 they were really damaging and dumb to do. Now, I think Mark Carney's response to them has been 0.98
00:01:25.580 also very damaging and dumb. But this is even worse than what Carney was already doing. Again, 0.97
00:01:32.080 I'm not saying step into the room with Trump and sign anything he wants you to sign. I'm saying
00:01:36.500 let's play real negotiating hardball. Let's stay at the table as long as possible, like the Mexican 1.00
00:01:42.140 government does, and hammer out a deal that is good for Canadians. My definition of good is low
00:01:48.720 tariffs. The problem is Mark Carney does not have the same definition of good. He actually thought
00:01:54.440 fairly high tariffs were acceptable in the deal he almost signed the problem was that the u.s didn't
00:02:01.240 want us interfacing with china as much and they want us to get rid of some of our censorship
00:02:05.940 policies that was the deal breaker for mark carney but now mark carney has given himself
00:02:12.600 a reason to not talk to the americans at all because now all the elbows up people and the
00:02:18.020 business liberals they can be scared into not wanting to talk to the americans at all because
00:02:22.800 there is a chance of invasion that is what this entire thing is about mark carney buying himself
00:02:28.800 time so that people don't tell him to get back to the table this is happening right after industry
00:02:34.680 leaders were starting to come out from the hvac industry autos whatnot telling him please both
00:02:41.060 sides get back to the table we need to hammer something out because people are losing jobs
00:02:44.840 and it's hurting the economy and so then carney pulls this out of his pocket and says invasion
00:02:49.440 I played the invasion card on the field now that puts, I guess, talking with the Americans about trade on hold for another two to three months at the very least, maybe an entire half a year.
00:02:59.740 We probably won't even talk to them before the midterm elections at this point because Carney is so rhetorically inept. 0.86
00:03:07.000 Now, I think this is both intentional by Carney and completely inept.
00:03:11.220 He thinks that this is going to be a good thing for him in the medium term, but the more damage that's dealt to the Canadian economy, the less the Trump fear-mongering is actually going to benefit Carney.
00:03:22.540 Every time he's fear-mongering about Trump, yes, the liberal polls have shot up, but every time he's done it, they shot up a little bit less.
00:03:29.020 You know, when he did it back in January and February of 26, he jumped up to having like an 18-point lead, 14-point lead, 17-point lead with some of the good pollsters.
00:03:38.940 That was a real bump from a genuine hysteria that he caused.
00:03:43.180 And then when he did it this summer, he got a bump, but it was like a bump plus 10 in some of the more reasonable pollsters.
00:03:48.620 And now it's already starting to slide back down again.
00:03:51.640 This might pump him up again, but every time he does this, it has more and more diminishing returns.
00:03:58.580 In just a second here, I want to take you guys to a CBC segment where they start trying to, like, defend the tactic that Carney is using.
00:04:05.240 oh he's he's warning americans that trump's crazy and they should vote for the democrats in the
00:04:09.600 midterms but that's extremely foolish but before we get into that i just want to remind you guys 0.90
00:04:14.820 if you like the show make sure to leave a like on the video subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber
00:04:20.280 we are getting close to 100 000 subscribers for the national telegraph and of course leave a
00:04:26.040 comment in the comment section below with what you think it doesn't it doesn't just help the
00:04:30.400 the channel in the algorithm but i do like scrolling through and see what people are saying
00:04:35.040 about the news of the day anyways let's get into the cbc segment where of course they talk about
00:04:41.060 the hidden genius of mark carney uh doing this like insane rhetorical play against the americans
00:04:47.480 again you don't have to like trump the americans at all in the situation to realize this is very 0.98
00:04:53.300 very stupid he i think he wanted to bring on the american electorate radar that relationship 0.98
00:04:59.960 between canada and i'd say have deteriorated to a point where we have to think about our own 1.00
00:05:05.480 protection no we don't actually need to think about our own protection when it comes to u.s
00:05:10.760 invasion do you think we would win a war against the u.s or even limit them from taking our country 0.77
00:05:16.920 uh to more than like a few days it's not saying that canada sucks or something like that it's just
00:05:22.280 america's extremely powerful on the military front if they wanted our country
00:05:27.480 they could take it. They don't want to invade, and that's why they don't do it. They have
00:05:31.960 moral objections to invading an ally like Canada. But his thing at the start there was so stupid 1.00
00:05:38.000 that this is going to put it on the American people's radar. The only thing that it puts on 1.00
00:05:43.720 their radar is that Mark Carney is a hysterical goof. You really think that there's going to be 0.55
00:05:49.440 tanks rolling over the border of Montana and Alberta, that there's going to be a bunch of
00:05:54.500 troops sneaking over the border from North Dakota into Manitoba? You know, they're going to blow out
00:06:00.000 the bridge for the ambassador. They're going to blow out the ambassador bridge and capture the
00:06:03.940 Gordie Howe bridge and jets are going to launch missiles at Canadian bases. No, that's really
00:06:10.360 dumb. And justifying this is just trying to cover up for the fact that Carney has massively 0.97
00:06:16.400 rhetorically overstretched himself. And remember, Mr. Trump mused about using force, military force,
00:06:24.500 on Groenland to acquire that territory i like i like how heavy his accent was there when he's
00:06:31.440 saying green on Groenland now yes trump jokes about things he says some really hyperbolic
00:06:39.400 statement and then it never actually comes true did he ever did he ever do that to greenland
00:06:43.820 they signed a new military agreement which basically was what they pretty much already
00:06:48.080 had i think trump just wanted to flex and have some sort of miniature win against denmark and
00:06:52.640 Greenland to seem tough. You know, that's an annoying thing Trump does sometimes. But if he's
00:06:57.560 not willing to invade Greenland, if he's not willing to take a military action against Greenland,
00:07:03.440 you think he's going to take military action against Canada? Not a chance. That's stupid
00:07:09.160 people talk. Every time that Trump ever said something that sounded like, oh my goodness, 1.00
00:07:13.220 he's threatening Greenland, it'd always be that a reporter would suggest something to him
00:07:17.700 because they want the big quote from Trump.
00:07:20.660 And Trump loves playing into a big quote.
00:07:23.320 He loves saying something newsworthy.
00:07:25.120 So they're saying, oh, so nothing's off the table
00:07:27.160 when it comes to potentially getting America's interests
00:07:29.620 honored in Greenland.
00:07:30.620 He'll say, oh, absolutely, everything's on the table.
00:07:33.000 And then that would obviously imply military action,
00:07:35.820 all that, and Trump likes the attention
00:07:37.860 because he's Donald Trump.
00:07:39.420 I'm pretty sure his brain is made out of TV parts
00:07:42.420 from how much he loves being on television.
00:07:44.500 But again, we have turned transmogrified that into Donald Trump really wants to occupy the town of high level and have troops walking around the streets, keeping Canadians in their houses because, you know, he's trying to expand the American empire here.
00:08:01.320 It's delusional.
00:08:03.140 And to weaken us so much economically, we have to not use military force to weaken us, but economic force.
00:08:09.260 So the threat is there. And we know that Mr. Trump is very unpredictable. He's got you know, remember, can we stop saying Trump's under predictable to like, to like justify anything? Trump's unpredictable within a band of potential options. Trump doesn't just walk into the White House, like every day, just like, you know, like, a completely different person.
00:08:32.940 One day he's extremely presidential and he's talking about his tax cuts, his new business initiatives, and how he's cracking down on illegal immigration.
00:08:42.920 And then by the next day, he busts into the White House holding a box of waffles and a shotgun saying, I'm going to take out this thing.
00:08:49.400 He's pretty – he's much more predictable than people think.
00:08:53.180 He's not just like a crazy person running around the streets doing whatever he wants.
00:08:57.980 You know, now I'm going to, you know, tear down the Washington Monument and replace it with a statue of myself. Like, he's weird. He can be narcissistic and all this stuff. But again, he's not just going to be like, I've spun the spinner, I shook my magic eight ball, and we're taking out Newfoundland. It's like, that's not Trump at all. But we have this cartoon of him in the Canadian media to justify Carney not trying to hammer out a deal.
00:09:22.640 claudia scheinbaum the president of mexico who is to the political left of mark carney he's
00:09:29.520 signing deals with trump she's hammering out deals playing hardball horse trading for what she wants
00:09:35.020 and mark carney can too but he has to justify why he can't by always bringing up the craziest
00:09:41.100 scenario what could happen if you know somehow he's not always on guard and being hyper suspicious
00:09:46.560 of the americans he's got access to the nuclear codes and being a guy so oh my goodness guys he's
00:09:53.620 gonna he's going to nuke canada because he has access to the nuclear codes you know remember
00:09:59.280 he's got access to the nuclear codes and being a guy so unpredictable prime minister has to be on
00:10:07.380 his guards at any time facing the donald trump and as as bob mentioned the new york times is a
00:10:14.620 credible media outlet that is being respected across the world it's no they're not they genuinely
00:10:20.080 are not the the new york times used to be credible it is just a very obvious liberal uh like paper
00:10:27.040 it's not that they don't report things that are sometimes like high quality those whole ideas that 0.98
00:10:32.360 because the new york times has it written and because mark carney said something really stupid
00:10:36.920 in an interview published to the pages of the new york times ergo this is highly credible and donald 0.98
00:10:42.140 Trump has his finger on the nuclear button. It's like, guys, oh my word, what are we doing?
00:10:49.000 Can we get a trade deal? Can we skip all this? Can we hit the fast forward button on the VHS
00:10:55.020 player here and get to the end of the tape where we finally sign something? Because of course we
00:10:59.680 should. Again, let's sign something good. Let's play hardball for as low a tariff rate as we can
00:11:04.860 put up with for two years until we can renegotiate with a different president.
00:11:07.880 That is what we should be focused on. But instead, we're having these just asinine conversations about, oh my goodness, is Donald Trump going to airlift? He's going to detach the country of Liechtenstein and he's going to drop it in the middle of Canada and just cause a giant asteroid crater in the middle of the country. 0.93
00:11:29.860 he can do anything he's gonna like you know dump millions of tons of tnt into the center of toronto
00:11:38.340 and blow up the entire city and replace it with trump land it's like it's not happening people 0.99
00:11:43.220 and as stupid as the random things i'm thinking of are off the top of my head the guy literally 0.98
00:11:48.320 brought up he has the nuclear codes implying that he could nuke canada not only a message for 0.99
00:11:53.660 american but also the rest of the world look i own my guards be careful too and it will probably
00:11:59.200 cement Mr. Carney's stature as being the leader of the resistance. Oh, the resistance. Oh, he's
00:12:06.320 going to be the leader of the resistance because he's saying that Trump could invade Canada.
00:12:11.940 The rest of the world leaders are not going to echo Carney on this. They would seem stupid for 1.00
00:12:17.180 doing it. Get any other world leader on record saying, are you worried that Trump might invade 1.00
00:12:21.580 Canada? They're not going to say yes, because that's stupid. It's not going to happen. And 1.00
00:12:26.080 makes them seem histrionic when they in fact do want a good relationship with the U.S.
00:12:30.580 Does the U.S. sometimes make it difficult to be friends with them? Sure. Sure they do. At the same
00:12:36.640 time, people have to stop using that excuse as a reason to lean into the bad relationship and try
00:12:42.660 and make it even worse. But now I want to take you guys on to another thing. We're going to be
00:12:48.660 talking about some of the question periods that have been going on over the past day. Mark Carney
00:12:52.760 has been like really testy recently he had this very testy exchange with pure polyev again this
00:13:00.320 kind of trying to justify why he hasn't gotten anything done by instead of actually focus like
00:13:07.940 in explaining where maybe troubles are and when we can actually expect progress he starts attacking
00:13:12.960 pure polyev here and i thought i think that's quite telling of what mark carney knows about
00:13:18.260 the current economic prospects of the country and the affordability issues he doesn't have anything
00:13:23.460 good to report so he's going to attack polyev canadian conservatives are here to save canadians
00:13:30.100 money while liberals are costing canadians more it is not an exaggeration to say that we are now
00:13:35.540 facing a full scale diesel price crisis right now diesel prices are around two dollars and 76 cents
00:13:43.540 a liter an all-time high one farmer in bruce county had to spend three thousand dollars on
00:13:50.980 one day's fuel now the prime minister loves to blame foreign factors but canadians are paying
00:13:57.700 32 cents a liter more than our americans if it's really a global issue why are we
00:14:03.540 paying so much here north of the border the right honorable prime minister
00:14:07.860 Mr. Speaker, it is a global issue which is causing higher fuel prices, including higher diesel prices.
00:14:15.940 The government is acting, including by extending the reduction in the fuel excise tax.
00:14:23.580 As well, we are working with refiners, the Minister of Natural Resources, working with refiners to maximize the availability of diesel in Canada.
00:14:32.220 so he's doing squat other than what the conservatives basically forced him to do because
00:14:38.520 he was going to bring back all the gas taxes until the conservatives ran like a two-month-long
00:14:43.600 campaign on the issue and then the last moment the the liberals extended their uh freezing of
00:14:48.880 the excise or the cancellation of the excise tax until the end of the year or so which like even
00:14:54.980 i kind of criticized the conservatives from the perspective of i wish they would get off these
00:14:58.480 small taxes. Yes, talk about them deputize some MPs to constantly hammer them on that. They should
00:15:03.800 be pushing, I think, 20% across the board income tax cuts, including corporate, and take a point
00:15:10.100 off the GST. That's really how you compete with the Americans. Small countries never beat big
00:15:15.540 countries by just punching each other back and forth in a trade war. What they do is out-compete
00:15:19.960 bigger countries and make the larger country want free trade with them. But let's get back into the
00:15:25.480 exchange with Paul with Polyev and Carney here honorable leader of the opposition all talk no
00:15:32.360 results more excuses after broken promises let's convert diesel prices around the world in the U.S.
00:15:40.120 and here in Canada all into Canadian dollars diesel prices in the U.S. $2.44 a liter
00:15:49.180 global average diesel price two dollars and 33 cents a liter here in canada two dollars and 76
00:15:57.820 cents a liter canadians are paying 41 cents more than the world 32 cents more than the u.s with
00:16:04.300 the fourth biggest supply of oil on earth why aren't we having the lowest prices anywhere
00:16:11.580 it almost feels like a trite point over time to say that but like genuinely it's just our own 0.99
00:16:16.620 stupid taxes and regulations, the amount of extra taxes that are put on Canadian products 0.97
00:16:21.800 in any sector is ridiculous, even compared to economies that aren't exactly ones to be aspired 1.00
00:16:28.520 to. There's economies out there that are not very good, but it's usually because of lack of
00:16:33.520 opportunities that have far lower regulations and taxes. But in Canada, anytime there's a
00:16:39.560 productive area of the economy, the Liberals just see it as another way of adding tax dollars
00:16:45.760 to the revenues of the government every year 0.99
00:16:48.200 so that they can spend more on stupid projects and programs 0.99
00:16:51.100 to get people reliant on them. 1.00
00:16:52.580 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:16:56.740 Mr. Speaker, I would draw the attention of the leader of the opposition
00:17:01.880 and this whole House to the fact that there are things in Canada called provinces.
00:17:06.900 The provinces put taxes on diesel.
00:17:10.020 The provinces put taxes on gasoline.
00:17:12.820 The biggest difference between Canada and the United States
00:17:15.280 is the provincial taxes on those carbons but also mr speak no no he has a lot of other uh his clean
00:17:23.880 fuel standard taxes he has other gas taxes on diesel right now he has the industrial carbon
00:17:30.280 tax which affects it is he right that the provinces also have provincial taxes on on on
00:17:37.320 gasoline and diesel yes he's been meeting with the premiers how many times he's circled up with
00:17:44.420 them and sat in a big circle of desks multiple times and has never crossed that man's gray
00:17:53.800 matter to say, hey, can any of you help us on affordability by lowering taxes on gas
00:17:59.300 or canceling tax on gas?
00:18:01.940 Daniel Smith just did it yesterday on her own initiative.
00:18:04.380 He should call the premiers and basically say, hey, you're all bringing in way more
00:18:08.840 revenues than you normally already do on fuel on fuel taxes simply because the price of fuel so
00:18:14.440 high can you lower the fuel tax to try and reduce the prices he could easily do that but he's acting
00:18:20.120 impotent as the prime minister who has a high approval rating right now and would have a lot
00:18:25.840 of sway trying to push the premiers on this issue but he doesn't want to because he likes the
00:18:30.600 revenues he just doesn't really care all that much you know it's like mark carney is a man who
00:18:35.320 thinks food comes from the grocery store and he doesn't really care about the price because
00:18:38.580 He's never had to worry about buying food and being able to afford it in his entire life.
00:18:44.380 Draw attention to the Build Canada Strong Act, which will allow this country to build new refineries and keep diesel prices lower.
00:18:52.680 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:18:56.180 Now totally out of touch. He blames the provinces for inflation under his leadership.
00:19:01.540 He highlights a bill that has been in place for a year and a half and hasn't built a single project.
00:19:05.780 He didn't answer the question.
00:19:07.700 There are three reasons why Canadians are paying more for diesel in the world.
00:19:11.020 One, the Prime Minister has given us a weak dollar despite high oil prices.
00:19:15.420 Two, by his very mission in this House, we don't have the refining capacity
00:19:18.800 because his government will not get out of the way and let Canadians build.
00:19:22.040 And three, he continues to tax fuel with the GST, with the fuel standard tax.
00:19:28.240 Will the Prime Minister stop pretending to be so powerless
00:19:32.340 and get the prices down for Canadians?
00:19:34.280 Mr. Speaker, I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the leader of the opposition on his 20th anniversary of the House of Commons.
00:19:47.920 You can tell he's mad. He's immediately swinging into the hole.
00:19:51.780 He's been here a long time. And it's like, yeah, and you've been in charge for over a year and a half.
00:19:57.220 So what are you going to do? Because it doesn't seem like pure poly of being an MP for 20 years
00:20:03.480 actually replaces the fact that you, this doesn't counter the fact that you've sucked 0.85
00:20:08.320 as the prime minister, the actual guy in charge for a year and a half. 0.95
00:20:12.920 I've been here for a little more than a year. We passed the bill.
00:20:16.380 A little more than a year, guys. It's been like a year and a day,
00:20:19.480 except it's actually been like more than a year and a half. But who's counting?
00:20:22.940 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition, Mr Speaker,
00:20:50.300 He's literally bragging about promises that he has made and broken.
00:20:55.340 And now the U.S. president is blustering ridiculously about a diesel export plan.
00:20:59.540 But even if that bluster is meaningless, we should not have to rely on the Americans to give us diesel that comes out of our own ground.
00:21:07.620 And that is why conservatives are acting today.
00:21:10.360 We're calling for an emergency diesel price relief plan.
00:21:15.720 One, eliminate all diesel taxes till at least Canada Day.
00:21:19.260 two emergency pre-permitting and tax relief for the construction of diesel transportation and
00:21:25.680 refining will he take our plan to lower prices for Canadians now I actually think this is a good
00:21:31.420 way of doing the cooperative pitch as the conservatives you're not because sometimes
00:21:36.340 like you know in opposition you should be opposing and sometimes you just you just like slam them for
00:21:41.660 how bad they're doing and you're like you know answer Canadians for how much you've screwed this
00:21:45.740 that up you know every once in a while when you make a pitch will you adopt this policy
00:21:49.580 you know when you know that they won't do it it can be very effective because people are like
00:21:54.080 goodness you that was like honestly a really just realistic easy to do uh plan that polyev has
00:22:01.300 that would objectively lower prices now what is mark carney going to do with that because he's
00:22:07.140 asking for mark for pure poly to do something productive and isn't for the first time in his
00:22:11.940 20-year-long career. So what's he going to do with his actual productive suggestion?
00:22:17.380 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:22:23.300 Mr. Speaker, this House will have an opportunity to pass C-38, which will lower the tax on diesel.
00:22:29.380 This House will have an opportunity to vote on the Build Canada Strong Act, which will move this
00:22:34.620 country forward. And Mr. Speaker, let me make sure Hansard is correct. The government passed
00:22:39.540 Act last year, Contra Coeur, Mackenzie Valley Pipeline, Darlington, North Coast Transmission
00:22:45.780 Line, Matawini Mine, all major projects now all being built. Really minor expansions to projects
00:22:53.740 that already exist or things that have been theoretically put on a list of major projects
00:23:00.460 the Canadian government is interested in, but they're not being built. They're far from being
00:23:05.100 built they're still like consultation processes him doing the whole it's one consultation it's
00:23:09.820 one review it's all blah blah blah it's like that's great but if that one thing is taking
00:23:15.500 forever it doesn't matter if it's replacing 10 things that also take forever that is the problem
00:23:21.540 we have here it's like oh well i don't yes i'm asking the i'm asking the leader of the opposition
00:23:26.400 to do something productive for the first time in his career polyev suggests saying he's like well
00:23:31.000 we have a really minor lowering of the diesel tax like we did with the other fuel taxes we will
00:23:36.640 slightly lower diesel taxes and screw you for making any suggestions because blah like what
00:23:43.840 are you even supposed to say to that he kind of put himself on a bit of a pedal still there 0.94
00:23:47.200 like do suggest something productive for the first time in your career does it screw you anyways i
00:23:53.340 don't care thanks to this government the honorable leader of the opposition
00:23:58.980 again taking projects that were approved oh blanchette thought it was his turn i guess that's
00:24:06.360 you know a little whoopsies happening in the out in the out in question period yesterday
00:24:11.900 long before he got here mr speaker i know he's going into french i don't i don't listen to french
00:24:19.680 on this channel except i do it's just i think he's probably usually when they go into french
00:24:23.060 they're kind of repeating the same questions but you know obviously for the ability to post them
00:24:28.420 uh in the other language and for the ability for french language media or english vice versa to
00:24:34.360 actually be able to cover the issues except the bloc quebecois obviously just sticks to french
00:24:38.500 because that's the main demographic they're going after uh i was gonna maybe we still will i want to
00:24:43.540 jump into actually the qp from today as well this one was again again just like oddly nasty for no
00:24:51.060 reason here is i believe sandra corbina who's uh talking to wayne long uh the man who i always make
00:24:58.680 fun of for having these i really absurdly big uh or these really absurdly tiny tie knots that make
00:25:03.920 his head look super big i'm not trying to go after him that's just what i always remember about him
00:25:08.620 but let's go into this one today
00:25:10.780 questions oral questions the honorable member for new market aurora
00:25:17.460 Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister sold Canadians on his financial credentials and then when they were in looking, he took advantage of that trust by inventing financial definitions used nowhere else in the world. He relabeled $94 billion of expenses as investments. And this is like calling your grocery bill an investment. The former PBO and the IMF called them out and now the new PBO has gone even further by saying that these invented definitions are not even being applied because
00:25:47.440 consistently why is this liberal government destroying the integrity of canada's books
00:25:53.580 i actually love this question it's kind of a boring question on the surface you guys probably
00:25:59.160 know what she's talking about from following the issue a bit but what the what carney's done is
00:26:03.360 he's been declaring that we have a balanced operating budget we actually have balanced
00:26:09.000 the operating budget it's not the actual budget we balance the operating budget operating budget
00:26:15.240 normally is like the money that the government does need every year to function. All your
00:26:21.680 employees, all the contracts that you have out there, just basic functions for repairing
00:26:28.620 infrastructure, anything that basically the country needs to survive. People who work in
00:26:35.060 the military, people who work at the CRA, all of that is operating budget. Normal maintenance is
00:26:40.880 operating budget, stuff like that, you know, the RCMP, all that. What Carney and the liberals have
00:26:46.840 done is that they're relabeling things that are clearly operating budget as capital budget so that
00:26:53.740 they can pretend that they've somehow balanced the operating budget. How have they balanced the
00:26:58.440 operating budget considering that they are spending more money than ever before? The deficit
00:27:05.400 is massive so how have we like balanced the operating budget it's not like our revenues
00:27:11.220 are massively up or anything like that and our operating budget continues to rise every year
00:27:16.100 we just had a sharp decline in what our operating budget is because we redefined it as a bunch of
00:27:21.200 capital as if all of these are like building bridges or you know some sort of like program
00:27:27.660 that is temporary and doesn't have anything directly to do with the operations of government
00:27:34.040 Like, if the government was putting forward money for a major piece of infrastructure, like the Alto high-speed rail project, it would not be operating budget.
00:27:42.800 But the Liberals will take anybody who's maybe ever even, like, whispered the word Alto train, and they will put them in capital budget, even though they are really staff who are part of the operating budget.
00:27:55.340 It's a little bit boring to talk about the kind of, like, slight nuances between what things should be operating and what things should be capital.
00:28:02.720 But if you've been in government for a long time, it's pretty obvious what things have been always labeled operating for a very long time and how they're trying to relabel it.
00:28:10.900 Well, let's see how the Liberals respond to this.
00:28:13.920 The Honourable Secretary of State for Financial Institutions.
00:28:17.460 Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the member for her question.
00:28:20.360 Mr. Speaker, our plan is to spend less on government operations and prioritize investments that generate long-term benefits for Canadians, such as major projects, housing, clean energy, infrastructure that will help grow our economy and attract private investment.
00:28:35.880 We have adopted a transparent capital budgeting framework that reflects the distinction between capital and operating spending so Canadians can seek clearly help.
00:28:44.580 Why is this tie knot?
00:28:46.120 Oh, sorry, guys.
00:28:47.060 I know this has nothing to do with the nonsense he's saying.
00:28:50.360 Like, he's just punting.
00:28:52.420 He's basically saying, well, we're being transparent with what we're considering operating and capital.
00:28:56.820 It's like, okay, great.
00:29:01.100 It's nice that you're being transparent about what's operating and what's capital.
00:29:06.320 The problem is you didn't really balance the operating budget when you've also redefined what operating means.
00:29:14.580 That is the problem right now, but look at this man's tie knot. This is the thing that really
00:29:20.160 offends me here. This tiny little tie knot, this tiny little tie knot just sitting right there
00:29:25.540 in the middle of his shirt, not even covering the entire collar gap. He's got these massive
00:29:30.160 collar gaps. If I did this one up, you can see that the thing that caught the gap between
00:29:34.040 the buttons, and that's not even fully done, is pretty tight. You want a medium-sized,
00:29:38.080 smaller tie knot for this he has a small tie knot it but between the the straight of hormuz there
00:29:45.120 is like the distance between one shirt collar and the other like the the suez canal is smaller than
00:29:52.640 that tie knot or than that than that collar gap and he has the teeniest tiniest little tie knot
00:29:59.360 compared to the gap and it makes his head look massive and he always has this weird way of
00:30:03.920 pointing at people on the other side when he's not liking them he does this you know those members
00:30:09.120 over there those ones in there and their opposition leader their their man who's been in government for
00:30:15.680 20 years he always gets like really tight and weird kind of like his weird gap in his tiny tie knot i
00:30:21.920 don't even know guys this triggers me this triggers me there should be a law against this public money
00:30:28.000 is being invested. Thank you Mr. Speaker. The Honourable Member for Newmarket Aurora.
00:30:33.520 Mr. Speaker the reality is if a CEO invented new financial definitions that are used nowhere
00:30:38.720 else in the world and then applied them inconsistently, shareholders would wonder if
00:30:43.280 he doesn't know how to budget or if he was trying to manipulate the budget. The Prime Minister stood
00:30:49.680 in front of international investors and said that he would balance the operating budget a year early
00:30:54.960 but he is using invented definitions used nowhere else in the world and on top of that they're being
00:31:01.180 used inconsistently will the liberal government restore our original financial definitions and
00:31:07.560 scrap this fake accounting scheme the honorable secretary of state for financial institutions
00:31:13.000 time to go back to Wayne thank you mr speaker thank you uh to the member for the question but
00:31:16.900 mr speaker i think i'll put our prime minister's credentials on the economy up against a leader
00:31:21.940 who's been in this house entering his third decade he has produced nothing he's produced
00:31:27.060 nothing in this house just figure we just hosted the canada investment this leader over here i
00:31:31.900 didn't even watch these guys 500 billion dollars i didn't even preview these clips i'm that good i
00:31:37.100 know this what i know what wayne long always does he does the massive color cap the tiny tie knot
00:31:43.920 someone questions him on something he doesn't know what to say so he goes raptor arms on the
00:31:49.420 conservatives he starts pointing to the conservatives in his raptor arms fashion talking about well
00:31:54.340 they're you know the opposition leader has been here for 20 years and hasn't gotten anything done
00:31:59.560 and they're going to try and criticize us for lying to canadians blah like yes you will be
00:32:05.140 criticized for lying to people because you did in fact change the definition of operating budget to
00:32:12.020 pretend you balance the operating budget oh well we did a year early all we had to do was redefine
00:32:17.880 every janitor in the government as actually capital not that they specifically did that but
00:32:22.700 you know it gets that absurd where clearly employees and and things that are yearly
00:32:28.720 reoccurring uh parts of the budget that are clearly operating are now suddenly capital
00:32:34.200 of investment for canada to build our economy strong mr speaker on this side of the house
00:32:40.580 we're going to do what's needed to build canada strong time for that party to get on board thank
00:32:45.000 you mr speaker oh i'm on board wayne i'm so on board i'm i'm there i'm you want to be on be on
00:32:51.240 board and i'm there i'm just there so on board with you right now i can't believe pure poly
00:32:56.760 would question you guys you're unquestionable anyways with all that being said thank you guys
