The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney SNUBBED by Trump and Mexican President!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. We have more issues with Mark Carney and his liberal government's

00:00:07.180 pursuit of major projects as well as a trade deal with the United States and Mexico with

00:00:13.540 nobody apparently wanting to meet with Mark Carney. He is our Prime Minister and he can't

00:00:19.200 seemingly get a phone call or a meeting together whether it's Donald Trump, the President of

00:00:24.480 Mexico, or even Métis groups within Canada. So I want to take us through these one at a time.

00:00:32.060 We're going to go through the Métis one, Trump, and then Gloria Scheinbaum in Mexico. The whole 0.57

00:00:37.920 thing's funny. I know that we could end up getting deals done and maybe this is just a temporary

00:00:43.380 holdup, but the fact that these holdups are even occurring, the fact that even within our own

00:00:48.040 borders Métis groups just don't want to meet with Carney unless he does everything exactly right

00:00:53.380 demonstrates the very weak leadership that we have in Canada. It's not even just about Mark Carney.

00:00:59.040 It's just the national character in general has placed Canada way down on the pecking order for

00:01:05.800 who people have to talk to, including within our own borders. I guarantee Wob Canu could get a meeting

00:01:11.440 with the Métis in his province well before Mark Carney could get it and he's the Prime Minister and Wob 1.00

00:01:17.040 is just the Premier of Manitoba. But anyways, before I get into it, I just want to remind you guys,

00:01:22.480 hey, if you like the channel, make sure to leave a like on this video, subscribe if you are not yet

00:01:28.120 a subscriber, and leave a comment on what you think about the situation. Helps us on the algorithm and

00:01:33.880 I do appreciate reading people's thoughts on the topics. Anyways, I'm going to start off with this

00:01:40.480 post by JJ McCullough. He has a great YouTube channel. You guys should go check it out. But he was

00:01:46.180 commenting on this story from the Toronto Sun, which I've read through, that says,

00:01:50.860 Manitoba Métis Federation turns down Carney's invitation to talk major projects.

00:01:56.700 And their contention is the idea that, well, Carney is meeting with the Métis Federation of Ontario,

00:02:03.660 and they do not recognize the Métis Federation of Ontario. And so they don't want to be at a

00:02:08.860 meeting with them or Canada's National Métis Federation or whatever it is, the Council of Canadian

00:02:14.900 Métis, because they're infighting right now. And apparently the star power of Mark Carney is not

00:02:21.360 going to prevent them from denying a meeting if the others are at it. And JJ McCullough here says,

00:02:28.200 meanwhile, in other quote unquote, fast tracking news, a Métis group will not meet with the prime

00:02:33.600 minister because they are in a feud with a rival Métis group. Repairing that feud is now a national

00:02:38.920 infrastructure imperative, apparently. And then JJ McCullough goes on to say,

00:02:44.760 of the three major indigenous groups, Carney says he needs buy-in from, he needs buy-in to move forward

00:02:51.220 with his fast tracking infrastructure dream. First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, the PM is currently

00:02:56.580 zero for three. Carney chose to make this his standard for fast tracking, which is to say he made fast

00:03:02.620 tracking subordinate to a process that will never get to yes. I feel the press and the conservatives need

00:03:08.880 to make this clear instead of pretending all that's missing is Carney not wanting enough.

00:03:14.640 And here we have a comment, the quote from Carney on the floor of the House of Commons. This was not

00:03:20.460 during the campaign. It was not during the liberal leadership. It was him post-election saying this is

00:03:25.560 his standard. He says, quote, the consensus that's required includes a consensus with the indigenous

00:03:31.900 people. We will stand with indigenous Canadians. We will build pipelines and energy infrastructure

00:03:37.160 in this great country, Carney said on the floor of the House of Commons. Now, there's actually two

00:03:43.100 problems here. Now, I've heard from people around the country, and this has been going around actually

00:03:48.180 for a couple of months, that Mark Carney may try and hammer through some sort of energy mine or pipeline

00:03:54.140 project in the next few years. The problem, even if he does that, he's going to take off his left flank by

00:04:00.920 telling them one thing about wanting consensus with indigenous stakeholders. And then if he does the

00:04:06.860 actual pipeline thing, he'll take them off. And then if he doesn't get a pipeline done, because he ends up

00:04:11.500 getting clubbed back into position by the left wing activists who want him to make good on his

00:04:17.260 consensus promise, then he's going to have no real projects to end, or at least they're going to get done

00:04:22.740 so slowly nobody's really going to care, or at least it's just going to be like a little, you know,

00:04:27.580 too little, too late kind of reaction. And he will still ticked off the people on the left, because

00:04:32.140 they don't even want a project approved at all. They want Mark Carney to say that the oil must stay

00:04:37.420 in the ground. They're very, you know, Stephen Gilboa-ish on the left. And so if Mark Carney doesn't

00:04:42.980 act enough like Stephen Gilboa, maybe these people go back and vote for the Green Party, or they vote for

00:04:48.280 the NDP. And then if he passes a pipeline, maybe in Quebec, where they are fairly anti-pipeline,

00:04:54.640 not the majority of the population, but the people in the area of Montreal and the suburbs,

00:05:00.780 they may go and start voting for the Bloc Quebecois, who has made it very clear that they

00:05:04.560 oppose all pipelines. So Mark Carney, by not picking a lane early and sticking to that lane,

00:05:10.740 may be kind of, you know, he's basically between a rock and a hard place. Damned if he does, 0.99

00:05:17.000 damned if he doesn't. And right now he's, so he's basically set up a promise to both groups. 0.99

00:05:21.920 He's going to get stuff done, but he's also going to, he's going to like, you know, respect

00:05:25.200 indigenous consensus and consultation. So yeah, not a very good look there. And so one other thing

00:05:33.080 I just kind of also want to mention about this is that now we've had about three instances,

00:05:39.020 as alluded by J.J. McCullough, that Carney has met with an indigenous group, an Inuit group,

00:05:45.080 and it was like the First Nations convention for all of Canada. He's met with Inuit leaders in the

00:05:51.520 North, and now he's attempted or is attempting to meet with Métis, and none of them are actually 0.63

00:05:56.380 signing on with his agenda. Not one of them has actually said they want major infrastructure.

00:06:00.660 They've all basically said, no, let's do it another way, which is the non-oil and gas way,

00:06:06.160 which if Mark Carney wants to make gains in the West, he's going to have to do something with that,

00:06:10.900 and I'm not so sure if he's actually going to bother with it. But now we need to move on to a

00:06:16.520 funny story, and that is Mark Carney not even being able to get a phone call with anyone,

00:06:23.580 apparently. Donald Trump or now Gloria Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico. Because for some reason,

00:06:32.100 our asinine plan in the liberal government is not to get a new trade deal quickly signed with America

00:06:39.580 to avoid the 35% tariff. We're going to try and make as much of our product USMCA compliant as

00:06:46.440 possible to avoid the small tariff that was previously in place, but now is the 35%. The

00:06:52.840 problem with doing that is it still costs money for products to become USMCA compliant, as I've said.

00:06:57.880 But so instead of trying to get a very quick deal done to lower that 35% and try and get down to zero

00:07:04.100 tariffs, you know, maybe put supply management on the table, maybe put something else on the table,

00:07:08.360 maybe make a threat. We're not doing any of those things. We're trying to renegotiate USMCA. And as

00:07:14.720 Kirk Lubomov here says, OMG, that's embarrassing. Mark Carney called Donald Trump went to voicemail.

00:07:22.420 Tariff negotiations team that went down to the US essentially just had a coffee in the lobby. Now

00:07:28.320 Canada's minister went to Mexico to try and set up a new trade deal, and we're told no thanks. And he is

00:07:35.000 citing this article title that says, no need for new bilateral trade deal, says Mexico's president.

00:07:42.360 The subheader says, Mexican president Claudia, I think I said Gloria, Claudia Scheinbaum dismissed the

00:07:49.020 need for a new bilateral trade agreement with Canada, highlighting the existing trade deal with

00:07:53.760 the US, Canada, and Mexico as sufficient. Her remarks followed a meeting with Canadian government

00:07:58.480 ministers, which he described as very positive. Well, it's very positive other than we got completely

00:08:05.200 rebuffed and the Mexican government doesn't care to try and renegotiate a deal that took well more

00:08:11.040 than a year to negotiate in the first place. This was like a signature, like election promise of Donald

00:08:17.580 Trump. And it took him till I believe like 2019, 2018, to actually get it across the finish line. He took

00:08:24.540 office in 2017. And then two years later, he got the USMCA agreement through. And now Canada,

00:08:31.420 rather than just trying to quickly make a couple commitments, maybe make a couple threats,

00:08:36.000 get to a state where we basically have no tariffs with the US by making an agreement on the board or

00:08:41.600 defense spending or something like that, which we almost are across the finish line on, we just won't

00:08:46.080 touch supply management for some reason. But rather than doing that, we're going to try and start a

00:08:50.260 two-year process all over again to renegotiate USMCA, or I guess KUSMA. Someone corrected me,

00:08:57.840 it's not KUMSA, it's KUSMA. I don't like saying KUSMA. I still like saying USMCA. I don't think it's a

00:09:03.660 slap against Canada to have the US at the start of the acronym. Acronyms are meant to sound good,

00:09:08.680 and I will say it in the way that sounds the best. But this doesn't really seem like the kind of

00:09:15.360 government that we were supposed to get after Carney promised that he was the man who could make

00:09:19.180 deals, understands people like Donald Trump and whatnot. We seem to be acting like we're some

00:09:24.280 sort of like UN debating club, like we're some high school head in the clouds, like UN, what is it,

00:09:32.000 UN General Assembly, some model UN, and we're sitting around making proposals, and we're trying

00:09:36.500 to make deals, and we keep saying overly idealistic things. Let's renegotiate this deal to make it work

00:09:42.060 with everyone. We're great partners. And then we're not actually engaging in the nitty-gritty

00:09:48.680 negotiations. We're just throwing out just blanket statements about how friendly we can be and not

00:09:54.700 actually putting anything on the table. And then we go back to our voters, which sadly works in Canada

00:09:59.420 at the moment, and just tells people, well, you know, the US is being obstinate, so you better keep

00:10:04.500 your elbows up and keep voting for us because we're fighting for you by doing nothing at all,

00:10:09.440 entering these meetings, and embarrassingly basically just saying, could you take the

00:10:13.440 tear us off? Could you think about it? That's all we're doing right now. There's some other topics

00:10:19.640 I want to get to. I'm not sure if I should do another video or now. Let's do one of them now.

00:10:24.740 This is actually something I want to highlight from Pierre Polyev that I actually disagree with,

00:10:31.960 but it's like an interesting policy to discuss because I get where Pierre Polyev and Conservative MP

00:10:37.400 Kyle Seaback are coming from. But this is something that Pierre Polyev posted yesterday. It says,

00:10:43.500 flight attendants work long before takeoff and after landing and deserve to be paid for it. 1.00

00:10:49.160 Shadow Minister of Labor Kyle Seaback and I are calling on the Kearney Liberals to fix this unfair

00:10:54.420 system and ensure fair pay for every minute on the job. And effectively, it's saying that with a lot

00:11:00.680 of airlines, you have flight attendants who are working well before the actual shift on the flight

00:11:06.820 starts and they're not being paid for the time that they're having to come to the airport, go

00:11:11.760 through security, go through the rigmarole just to start the shift, do some other stuff beforehand.

00:11:17.140 My thing with this and the reason I disagree with it, I understand the sentiment. Should that be how

00:11:22.140 it is that you are being paid for every minute that you're in the airport, getting to your job and

00:11:27.360 going from your job, having to board shuttles to get to the hotel after a shift because you're not

00:11:32.240 in your home city, you know, when you're doing some other work that's not technically part of

00:11:36.920 your job description, you should be getting paid for it. Sure. The problem with this, though, is that

00:11:42.120 if you know anything about it and I hate airlines, you should come to me and sponsor me. I'm just

00:11:48.660 kidding, but you're going to like what I'm going to say. Airlines are actually probably one of the

00:11:53.600 most spat on industries in the entire country, if not all of North America and probably the world.

00:11:59.400 Airlines make very little money. Each flight that Flair and West Air Canada are putting together

00:12:08.720 make very little money. The profit margins in airlines is thin. And when you actually look

00:12:15.580 through how many taxes are applied to your airline ticket, to your ticket to go to just like 0.56

00:12:21.760 on a two-hour flight, it's ridiculous. Flair Airlines actually gives you a printout of every single fee,

00:12:29.020 attached to their services, and they will list out all of the taxes, like airport improvement fees,

00:12:35.780 security fees, baggage handling fees, ticket fees, and all these extra little fees. It's not going to

00:12:41.780 them other than they have to collect it for the government. Flair Airlines and Air Canada and WestJet

00:12:47.500 are sometimes making like 7% margins on flights, which, you know, is not a lot considering that they

00:12:53.780 are taking you like a 2,000 kilometer trip, and they are making 7% profit margins with a mostly full

00:13:01.840 flight. It's insane. And so I don't think that this is necessarily the thing that should be done right

00:13:08.840 now. If this was being proposed in conjunction with a special tax break for airlines, I would go for it,

00:13:15.900 especially if you actually cut the taxes of airlines. Like I would say it's major, it's

00:13:20.320 effectively major transportation. It is kind of like one of those things needed for a major Western

00:13:26.280 country. It's like a town providing you roads. I think the airlines should be operating on a much

00:13:32.780 smaller corporate tax rate. Provincial and federal corporate tax rates on the airlines should probably

00:13:40.780 cap out at a combined 15%, maybe even just 10%. Because it is very difficult to operate an airline.

00:13:47.820 That is why they constantly go bankrupt. And the new budget one pops up for a few years before that

00:13:53.360 one goes bankrupt as well. So I understand Polly of sentiment here. But I guess it's a good practice

00:13:59.320 to have, you know, policies I can bring up on screen that Polly of is proposing that I don't necessarily

00:14:04.400 agree with. I get the point. Yes, we want to make sure that people are being paid for the work that

00:14:09.680 they are doing. But I think in what needs to coincide with this is also tax relief for an industry who's

00:14:18.060 playing fast and loose with paying people because they don't have the money. Because it is actually

00:14:22.440 truly a very difficult industry to work with them. But anyways, so that should be it for me today,

00:14:28.460 guys. Again, just a reminder to like the video, subscribe to the channel and leave a comment. Do all

00:14:34.020 that fantastic stuff because it really helps out the channel. And of course, I will be back later

00:14:39.600 with another video. See you guys later.
