00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.160 I knew in the aftermath of Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals caving to Trump on trade
00:00:11.940 that the funniest thing about it was going to be all the Liberals getting mad at me
00:00:17.360 for simply stating what happened, because they still want to live in the fantasy world
00:00:22.860 that Carney and his elbows-up strategy is working.
00:00:27.140 It's not. I don't know why this makes me a villain. It's obvious. It's just what the news is.
00:00:32.880 But let's just get into it. I'm not going to waste your time with a big intro.
00:00:37.080 First, we're going to take a pit stop with Laura Babcock and Charlie Angus,
00:00:42.140 who you can tell are kind of on the verge of getting mad at Mark Carney.
00:00:47.060 But in another post from Laura Babcock, no, she is still submerged in the Mark Carney soup,
00:00:54.000 and she will not leave it for the time being check out charlie angus you're freaking out
00:00:59.520 about carney potentially getting rid of the booze ban you're gonna put the booze back on for what
00:01:05.600 it's really important canadians to be reminding our mps wait a minute we run the boycott we stood
00:01:11.920 up you don't negotiate that away unless you come back with a comprehensive trade deal what is a
00:01:17.920 comprehensive trade deal here like from everything charlie angus and laura babcock has said they
00:01:23.360 don't want a trade deal. They just hate the Americans. And him doing this whole, like,
00:01:28.620 we the people type rhetoric in that video, I'm like, guys, the booze ban was stupid in the first
00:01:34.260 place. At least Carney might get something back in return at this point. The whole problem with
00:01:40.220 the way that Carney's done this trade deal is that he should have been making it in July 2025.
00:01:47.100 The longer that he has drawn it out, the more concessions Trump wants from him in order to
00:01:52.640 get rid of the tariffs or even soften them. I'm going to probably cover this in another video,
00:01:57.960 or maybe I'll talk about a bit later. So what's basically going on is that the deal that we're
00:02:03.880 getting now is kind of exactly what was being negotiated in October 2025. Now, what we were
00:02:10.540 getting in October 2025 was slight reductions to aluminum, softwood, steel, and auto tariffs that
00:02:17.520 were on us in exchange for the concessions we're basically giving up now. But it's not even
00:02:22.280 that good. It's not even like reducing the current tariffs. We're giving away what we
00:02:27.440 were willing to give away in October just to not have an additional 50% tariff on 5% of our other
00:02:34.320 exports. It's like, whoa. So that really shows that in October, we should have really been making
00:02:40.760 the deal in July 2025 when we may have been able to make the concessions to get to effectively zero
00:02:47.480 tariffs. But the longer we drag it out, the same concessions buy us less and less. And I'm not
00:02:53.940 saying, well, Trump sets the terms and we have to follow them. It's just true that we've allowed
00:02:58.320 our economy to get weaker and weaker over the time, making our government more desperate,
00:03:03.140 which makes you wonder why they've been sitting around doing nothing. But now I want to get to
00:03:07.520 Laura Babcock's response to me, because I poked fun at her a little bit a couple days ago,
00:03:14.160 saying that Carney had lost the vaunted Laura Babcock endorsement.
00:03:19.300 This was my tweet from July through August 9th at the beginning of the day.
00:03:24.220 I said, has Carney lost the vaunted Laura Babcock endorsement?
00:03:28.600 Because she said, U.S. booze back on the shelves?
00:03:31.880 Canadians say hell no.
00:03:33.640 Should be doubling down on the boycott.
00:03:35.480 It's no time to give Trump and Hoekstra concessions.
00:03:38.460 But now she's trying to pretend like, no, no, no.
00:03:40.740 she still has faith in Mark Carney, even though he is doing exactly what she does not want him to
00:03:47.860 do. So this is what she said. Sweet that you're worried about what I think, but appreciate the
00:03:54.620 compliment that my endorsement is vaunted. Great word. I continue to support Prime Minister Carney's
00:04:00.300 excellent work on Canada's economy, and it will give my opinion on what he does, even when critical.
00:04:06.140 that's called democracy except she's not giving her actual opinion she's burying what she thinks
00:04:12.720 to preserve the feelings of the mark carney's elbows up base who still believes that he's not
00:04:18.900 caving to trump because of people like laura babcock not telling them the truth now they're
00:04:23.800 kind of now tipping their toe into the fact that carney's surrendering by mentioning that
00:04:27.920 he's basically going to try and push premiers to get rid of the booze band for very little in
00:04:32.320 return, but still they haven't really laid that at the feet of Carney yet. They talk about it as
00:04:37.680 if there's this abstract force out there asking for the booze ban to be lifted. They'll probably
00:04:43.500 end up trying to blame Pierpaglia for it, but they're not actually saying this is because Carney
00:04:47.560 is asking for it. Now, it was stupid in the first place, but they are hypocrites to be pretending
00:04:52.680 as if this isn't somehow like, you know, something to blame Carney for because they will blame
00:04:58.740 Pierre Polyev for things that he has never said or done. But no, they cannot pin the tail on the
00:05:04.600 donkey when it comes to Mark Carney here. But let's get to some other posts. Those aren't even
00:05:09.640 the funniest ones. Those are just the ones I kind of had to, you know, sound off on because it's
00:05:14.860 Laura Babcock and I always talk about Laura Babcock. So check this out. The people who are now trying
00:05:21.680 to pretend again that this whole situation reflects badly on Pierre Polyev. Here is Greg
00:05:30.000 McEachern, who is the liberal shill who usually sits on the CBC Power and Politics panel with
00:05:36.040 David Cochran. McEachern says, Pierre Polyev now says Canada should give away its leverage in
00:05:42.000 negotiations with the U.S. Yet on July 26, his own Canada U.S. critic was demanding the government
00:05:49.200 table its written negotiation plan before a parliamentary committee. Make that make sense.
00:05:54.760 Well, in fact, I'm trying to make Greg's own point make sense. How is that contradictory?
00:06:01.920 Polyev now says Canada couldn't give away its leverage in negotiations with the U.S.
00:06:07.280 Yet on July 26, his own Canada U.S. critic, Shavloy Majumdar, was saying the government
00:06:11.880 should table its strategy. It's like, okay, how those two things don't contradict each other.
00:06:17.380 In fact, it's not at all bad to negotiate in the sunlight. Say to the public, these are the things that Trump wants. These are the things that we're willing to give him for it. And if he doesn't want it, well, then we may never reach a deal. In fact, it might be better for Canada to show how reasonable that we're being. Here's the few concessions we're willing to give up in order to get to zero tariffs.
00:06:38.620 The American public would actually start putting pressure on Trump. They're like, oh, my goodness, take the win. That sounds great. Stop being obstinate. But, you know, Greg, again, is groping around in the dark trying to figure out how this all is, you know, Pierre's fault, how this is all really, you know, really the whole situation makes Pierre look bad.
00:06:57.140 Mark Carney caving? Oh, wow. I can't believe Pierre did this to us. Mark Nixon responded to this and said, why are the replies turned off, Greg? Greg McEachern is apparently confident enough in his argument to attack Pierre Polyev, just not confident enough to make people respond to it. Nothing screams, make that make sense, quite like turning off the comment section, which is quite funny, which now makes me like, I need to bring up Greg McEachern's own personal X account.
00:07:27.140 You know, I don't know why this is his banner. I guess the ox told a very funny joke and he's laughing about it.
00:07:32.680 But Greg, in his pinned comment, says, nothing says, quote, I don't care about your I don't care and your opinion doesn't matter, unquote, like repeatedly complaining that comments are disabled.
00:07:43.900 He said that back on July 5th because it's probably a common complaint with him.
00:07:48.720 And he's blocked me. Like, come on, Greg. I thought we were friends.
00:07:53.420 I thought nothing got to you and you were complaining or you were saying that other people are whiners, that you have your comments off.
00:07:59.860 But then you block me. I can't even comment on anything you're saying.
00:08:03.620 I could I could quote tweet you, but you don't have to engage in the comment sections on my quote tweets.
00:08:09.240 It really goes to the fact that Greg McEachern is a butter soft whiner who doesn't act, who cannot defend his own positions.
00:08:17.180 We've reacted to so many panels that he was sitting on in the CBC.
00:08:23.720 He always just makes the most asinine arguments.
00:08:26.360 Everything that Mark Carney does badly somehow reflects on Pierre Polyev.
00:08:31.220 It actually shows that, yes, Mark Carney messed this up, but think about how much worse Pierre Polyev would be doing.
00:08:37.140 But now let's just keep going through what he's been posting.
00:08:40.340 There's a lot of just random stuff about the United States because obviously he doesn't want to talk about Canada right now.
00:08:45.540 lots of stuff not about what's going on currently with the trade situation but like what i notice
00:08:53.480 is that as you go through all this stuff oh he actually shared something from me that's funny
00:08:57.840 nothing nothing is trying to actually explain that the that the the deal that carney is making
00:09:05.000 with trump is any good it's just anti-american stuff pure poly of sucks and he was also sharing
00:09:12.220 a lot of things about, well, you know, the conservatives are trailing in the polls right
00:09:16.660 now. You know, yes, they actually are behind even in the good polls, but they always end up
00:09:21.040 setting these crazy polls with like 20% liberal leads. I'm like, that doesn't show that you're
00:09:25.600 insecure. Like, it doesn't matter that Carney's messing things up. Did you know we won the 2025
00:09:31.040 federal election? It's like, okay, good for you. I'll give you an award for it next time I see you
00:09:36.340 person. But what are we going to do now? It's such a last shriek on the retreat sort of a thing to do.
00:09:43.620 Well, we won the last election. I'm like, yeah, now you're doing the political equivalent of
00:09:48.220 dumping tomato soup all over your white pants. And you're saying that, well, how embarrassed do
00:09:53.380 you guys feel that I just did that, but you guys didn't win the last election? Let's jump back over
00:09:59.560 to my bookmarks because I need to go over some more of these liberals whining at me.
00:10:05.280 I love this one. He's been posting this constantly over the past month. Douglas Connors, he's a
00:10:12.660 frequent guest on Laura Babcock's show. He has some sort of eager beaver Canadian political
00:10:18.740 report YouTube channel. He uploads like daily on it. He does like daily live streams that like
00:10:24.200 nobody is watching. More people watch like public access TV than are watching Douglas Connors show
00:10:29.520 on YouTube, like when you combined all the views in an entire month. And but he's been constantly
00:10:35.020 repeating this at me. He says, in response to me, my post that says Mark Carney has basically
00:10:40.260 surrendered to Donald Trump on the trade issue. And now we are seeing elbows up liberals starting
00:10:44.800 to spin this defeat into victory, or at least not that bad. And of course, we have Douglas Connors
00:10:51.020 doing exactly what I said liberals were going to do. And he says, note, Wyatt, and he puts my name
00:10:57.000 in quotes as if it's like a pseudonym or something like that. Wyatt has absolutely no way of knowing
00:11:01.940 this is a fact. He's not in the room and nobody and anybody who is is not talking to him. He's
00:11:08.120 just saying stuff and he's putting that in quotes too so I don't know why. He wishes to be true and
00:11:13.980 that he wishes this to be true is hella weird and unpatriotic. It's hella weird and unpatriotic
00:11:20.880 for me to point to things that Carney is doing as reported by liberal media outlets and saying,
00:11:27.500 I don't like that. Apparently, it is our duty to like anything that the liberal government is
00:11:34.400 doing. If the Canadian government is doing something, you better like it. Because if you
00:11:40.380 don't, apparently you just don't like the country or whatever. It's just the lamest argument on the
00:11:45.720 planet that you could make like you know what I kind of like that Doug thinks that this is a good
00:11:51.540 point why you're not in the room it's like so is 99.99999% of people on the planet apparently we
00:12:00.820 can't know anything to be true and what less we are literally there sitting on Mark Carney's lap
00:12:05.660 but know what God bless him God bless Douglas Connors for making this for making this point
00:12:11.940 against me. He really thinks it's working, and I hope it works someday. I hope he defeats me
00:12:17.460 in a war of words using this tactic. Well, you weren't there. How do you know the Japanese
00:12:24.220 bombed Pearl Harbor? You weren't there, and none of the people who were there talked to you.
00:12:29.160 Okay, okay. I guess books don't matter, guys. Anyways, okay, we're going to move on to something
00:12:34.900 else this is another point i love from paul heslip who oddly enough posts oddly sexual things
00:12:44.140 about me sometimes i'm not even kidding uh it's very strange the sorts of things he posts it's
00:12:49.640 not like hyper hyper vulgar it's just weird but he decided to not make a vulgar point against me
00:12:56.160 today uh he does compare me to dwight schrute which is fun i always like that he says hey dwight
00:13:02.620 cesspool are you lying that p.m carney is on vacation apparently i have lied that mark carney
00:13:09.040 is on vacation uh he was responding to this post i say has carney lost the vaunted lord babcock
00:13:15.440 endorsement i don't know why he he posted this in response to that but i had been making previously
00:13:21.140 the point that carney has gone to italy on vacation in the midst of a very tense trade
00:13:26.380 negotiation with the united states now some people say well the the actual trade deal was actually
00:13:31.320 already wrapped up like a week ago it's like well what we have sounds like garbage and either he's
00:13:36.880 leaving while it's still being negotiated or he has a garbage deal he is leaving the country
00:13:41.260 before it gets unveiled but he like he like posts this to like i don't know like somehow
00:13:47.900 debunk me that carney's on vacation it says here the prime minister will be on a reduced schedule
00:13:53.940 in the week of august 10th prime minister carney will be in italy for personal commitments until
00:13:58.720 August 17th. Media advisories will be distributed as normal should any public events arise. During
00:14:05.360 this period, he is in close contact with his team and officials on several priorities, including the
00:14:10.360 ongoing and a U.S. trade negotiation. So even this release from the prime minister's office admits
00:14:15.780 that the negotiations are still going on. It goes on to say, all relevant rules have been followed
00:14:20.300 and will be followed at all times in consultation with the ethics commissioner who did not identify
00:14:25.140 any concerns or inconsistencies with the prime minister's obligations. And by the way, I don't
00:14:29.820 have any ethical reasons why he can't go on a vacation in Italy in terms of like, it's not
00:14:34.260 like there's a conflict of interest here. Now, he shouldn't be. I don't mind if he goes on vacation
00:14:39.320 in September, or if the trade negotiation was actually already wrapped up and he had shaken
00:14:43.940 hands with Trump, then he went on vacation. Now, I probably wouldn't like the trade deal he
00:14:48.080 negotiated, but at least it would have been done. I'm sorry, but he's saying that like, well,
00:14:53.020 why it lied by saying he's on vacation when the reality is that he's on vacation but he might stay
00:14:59.020 in contact and do a little bit of work here and there it's like that's just called vacation when
00:15:03.860 you have a full-time job do you think i just stop making videos and stop following politics and
00:15:10.000 writing stuff when i'm on vacation if anything i'd probably double my video output if i was on
00:15:15.560 vacation i've done that before i was in japan in 2024 and if you were still following the channel
00:15:21.780 back then i was walking around like little quiet streets of tokyo and kyoto and osaka
00:15:27.420 making videos on polling updates it is possible to work on vacation but he is on vacation like i i'm
00:15:34.940 sorry to break his heart here by informing him on this but that is what's gone on uh let's keep
00:15:42.100 going we got more of these things here we got this guy jj but not the cool jjj but j mccullough
00:15:48.060 we just have this guy named jj saying the only endorsement that matters is the voters endorsement
00:15:54.000 how stupid is the cbc to blow a super majority lead now now down to 27 and less than 60 seats
00:16:01.520 and he's like citing an ecos poll and it's like okay cool dude do you have a twitter poll you
00:16:07.060 also want to show me again this isn't the gotcha you think it is carney's like completely dumped
00:16:13.340 the tomato soup all over his white pants and the liberals are like well have you checked out this
00:16:18.340 ecos poll okay well you know the conservatives lost 2025 federal election yeah and i had a lot
00:16:24.860 of critiques for how they ran that election i'm not i'm not like here to say the conservatives
00:16:29.140 are perfect or anything like that i made a whole video saying the things that they had done wrong
00:16:33.320 wrong from my point of view uh at the same time the conservatives never like yeah they had a
00:16:38.640 majority polling lead i always hate when people overemphasize the conservatives were leading by
00:16:42.660 25 points. They were probably leading by 15. The conservative polling lead in kind of late 24 was
00:16:48.860 kind of overemphasized by a response bias. Response biases happen both ways. It's like the honeymoon
00:16:54.940 effect that always happens whenever a new government's elected and they start polling
00:16:58.080 way better than they actually got in the last election. That happened for the liberals or for
00:17:02.980 the conservatives in late 24, where liberal voters who are still planning on voting liberal were so
00:17:08.260 depressed they probably weren't taking polls anymore which meant that the conservative lead
00:17:12.560 was overemphasized conservatives had a big lead this wasn't 25 points so whenever people say oh
00:17:17.480 they blew a 25 point lead it's like not quite and again they didn't blow a lead the issues of the
00:17:23.460 election the leader they were running against everything changed that'd be like saying oh you
00:17:27.980 were leading in an election in canada and then when we plopped you into australia you lost the
00:17:33.740 election when we put you at the head of a party it's like very different races that you were in
00:17:37.940 at the start of that story and then at the end of that story but we got to move on to some more
00:17:43.660 stuff here uh oh here is this one oh this is a funny one uh i posted this yesterday and a lot
00:17:51.060 of people got a kick out of it because with charlie angus and laura babcock kind of slowly
00:17:55.420 having the wheels turn in their heads and realizing that carney was lying to them the entire time
00:17:59.880 about elbows up trade strategy i said i wonder when laura babcock and charlie angus are going
00:18:05.600 to storm the Canadian parliament wearing Viking helmets to stop Mark Carney from going elbows
00:18:10.740 down. A reference to January 6th and the guy wearing the Norse helmet. And this guy who is
00:18:17.600 named Average Albertan says, intelligent people really just need to realize that they are in fact
00:18:22.680 irrelevant. Most likely paid daily to s-disturb here with the rest of conservative influencers.
00:18:28.560 Unelected, no power, no nothing. Just the ability to rage farm. You're truly useless.
00:18:33.760 By the way, this is not an average Alberta voter. If you've ever seen any election results provincially or federally in Alberta, how am I rage farming? I'm making a joke there. I'm not rage farming. I'm rage farming, I guess, from the perspective that I'm actually telling these people what our Carney is doing.
00:18:54.060 they were all mighty quiet yesterday and the day before that when this news started breaking that
00:19:00.560 Carney is giving up a lot of concessions for very disappointing like you know benefits
00:19:07.580 like none of these people were talking about it they were all talking about how much they hate
00:19:12.460 Daniel Smith or how much they hate Trump about some U.S. political issue not even to do with
00:19:16.700 trade they were talking about anything but Mark Carney and the liberals because he clearly messed
00:19:22.480 up. If he didn't, and this was a great coup for Mark Carney, who was doing great on the trade
00:19:26.900 issue, they would be saying, look at Mark Carney getting a trade deal. And that putrid, disgusting
00:19:32.500 goblin, Pierre Polyev hasn't gotten a trade deal, which always reminds me of the clip of Carney
00:19:36.980 saying when Polyev was saying, you should try and get a trade deal. And he was like, well,
00:19:40.580 when has he gotten a trade deal? I'm like, he's not prime minister. Did you not know that? You're
00:19:45.220 the prime minister. You in this moment are the man who can actually get something done and you're
00:19:50.100 not and when people are saying maybe you should try you're like oh you haven't gotten a trade
00:19:54.860 deal it's like yeah you got him you got him he hasn't gotten a trade deal i guess you have you
00:19:59.740 haven't either but you know one of you actually has the capacity to sign one and the other does
00:20:04.680 not and polio is making fine points right now saying like yeah you've been waiting so long
00:20:10.040 all of the cards all of the chips you could have played at this point have been diminished in their
00:20:15.240 power because as we've been waiting, the U.S. has been finding ways of compensating for the damage
00:20:20.620 their own tariffs have been doing to them, which means that business owners and industry and
00:20:25.180 consumers have been much more able to cope with the current situation. They're less mad at Trump.
00:20:30.480 They were more mad at Trump when the tariffs first dropped around July, which would have been the
00:20:34.580 best time to publicly say, you know what, we didn't choose this, but if Trump wants a win,
00:20:39.400 here, you're going to have these few things if we go back to tariff-free trade. He would have had
00:20:43.100 to take at that point because everyone would have been like, they're giving you what you want and
00:20:46.420 you won't take it. But instead, we've been making ourselves artificially look like the bad guys
00:20:51.400 by taking jabs at Trump at the same time we've been making concessions. When you do that,
00:20:56.240 you look like the political villain of the situation, taking shots, but also giving things
00:21:02.100 up as if you owe him something and also getting nothing in return. When you are having to give
00:21:06.480 something up for nothing in return, it makes it seem like you didn't deserve that thing in the
00:21:10.100 first place. But what do I know? I'm just some rage baiting influencer on the internet.
00:21:16.660 Is there any others I want to play here? No, I want to jump now up to another recent clip
00:21:22.000 on the trade issue today. I thought this was a good point by Kate Harrison that I had previously
00:21:27.780 mentioned. She points out that we are effectively back to where we were in October. And even she's
00:21:33.360 like not intentionally, but even she's kind of glossing it up a bit because we're getting less
00:21:37.820 than we were supposed to get in October.
00:21:39.520 In October, it wouldn't have been a good deal,
00:21:42.020 but I would have said, okay, that's progress.
00:21:44.500 You could have gotten better
00:21:45.420 if you did it six months ago or four months ago, whatever.
00:21:49.720 You have to live in the present, not the past.
00:21:52.300 We would have been maybe able to get the tariffs down
00:21:54.140 to like 15%, 10% with the concessions we had
00:21:56.900 of the current tariffs.
00:21:59.060 Now, what we're doing is giving up stuff
00:22:01.060 to avoid new tariffs,
00:22:02.700 not even to reduce the current ones.
00:22:05.540 Pierre Pauly was out today.
00:22:06.780 Kate, I want to start with you.
00:22:07.820 What do you make of this new line of attack against the government in terms of the way that the negotiations are going?
00:22:13.100 I think that Polyev is right to focus on the time that has been wasted and passed since these negotiations began.
00:22:22.680 Really, what we're seeing reported, Katie, in the media is not all that different than a lot of the terms that were being discussed last October.
00:22:29.800 So it begs the question, what has the government been up to in that time?
00:22:33.680 And when we think about the approach that hasn't worked, it has been this piecemeal kind of sectoral based approach, you know, alcohol here, concession there.
00:22:43.100 And I think in the absence of a bigger and better trade deal, it's going to be very difficult to rationalize to Canadians and perhaps more acutely to premiers that this is this is in the best interest of all parties.
00:22:55.820 it's been so funny like she's absolutely right there because the liberals were promising a big
00:23:02.020 comprehensive deal that's great for canadians as if they were effectively implying to liberal
00:23:07.200 canadians we're not going to give them crap we're going to stick to our guns and we're going to like
00:23:12.540 not make any concessions and we're going to force trump's hand to sign a deal with us that gives us
00:23:18.160 like you know tariff free trade without even having to touch supply management or the dst or
00:23:23.280 the streaming tax, the Gordie Howe Bridge, or are there retaliatory tariffs? It went on and on,
00:23:27.460 all the things that we ended up then giving up, despite implying that we weren't going to do that.
00:23:32.020 And yeah, it's all been quite embarrassing. But you know what's even more embarrassing
00:23:37.280 than Carney's performance? It's the thing I've already been talking about in this video,
00:23:42.120 the liberals pretending that this is what they wanted, or it's no big deal.
00:23:47.020 We don't even necessarily need to watch this video. But guys, I have found a new person
00:23:51.800 to to like follow ceaselessly for their liberal takes i had steve boots back when i also had
00:24:00.740 laura babcock and frank dominick frank dominick hasn't been making as many videos steve boots
00:24:05.760 bombed out of media and now he's back to being a school teacher in saskatchewan but i now have
00:24:10.640 elyria a who made this gem of a video that i am not even kidding is entitled canada might cave on
00:24:20.860 u.s booze and dairy here's why it doesn't even matter who wants to guess that was not her opinion
00:24:28.160 as of like a several months ago yeah she's lying of course it matters based on her own
00:24:35.300 her the based on the framing of the liberal government and the things that she has been
00:24:40.100 posting over time i find this so embarrassing though that we're just oh you know i'm not owned
00:24:45.320 i'm not owned because i say i'm not owned we this doesn't even matter how do i know it's because i
00:24:50.240 said it doesn't matter. Yeah, I said it mattered like five minutes ago, but I'm saying it doesn't
00:24:54.400 matter now. So it is announced today that the Carney government may be considering scrapping
00:25:02.100 the entire U.S. booze ban to stop the oncoming new 50% tariff that the Trump government wishes
00:25:09.840 to put upon us. Yeah, sure. Cool. I mean, nobody wants to buy your booze anyways, America.
00:25:17.540 Then why have you been so resistant to it? Why is Laura Babcock and Charlie Angus saying, you can't put the booze back on the shelves? We fought for this. This was like our 1776 moment, taking the American booze off the shelves. This was our Boston Tea Party. It's like, I'm sorry, you guys clearly care about this because we have the bands.
00:25:35.400 if no one wanted to buy it you would never have to actually have taken it off the shelves in the
00:25:40.180 first place it would i worked at a liquor store for five years if anything ever became unpopular
00:25:45.240 you put it on a heavy sale sell through it you don't import it again you don't bring it back
00:25:49.480 if you just take it off the shelves because you didn't it's because you genuinely knew
00:25:54.880 that people wanted it and you were trying to remove the option americans hi my name is
00:26:00.860 Elyria, and I want to welcome you to my channel where I talk about politics and breaking news.
00:26:05.220 Let's get into the video. All right, so here's where we're at currently. So there is a looming
00:26:10.960 deadline of August 19th, okay? That is when the U.S. is set to slap 50% tariffs on a chunk of
00:26:17.920 Canadian exports. We're talking 5% of everything that we sell them, which, I mean, kind of sounds
00:26:24.220 small until you hear the actual number, okay, which is $29 billion in trade. We're talking
00:26:31.480 cement, clothing, sports equipment, hockey sticks, and our alcohol. That is most of the list.
00:26:39.700 And right now, as I am recording this, okay, our trade minister, Dominic LeBlanc, is literally in
00:26:45.240 Washington again. I mean, he's been back. She's saying that it's like some perilous journey that
00:26:51.480 he's been having to go back and forth on, you know, like just walking with his stick between
00:26:56.120 like Washington, D.C. and Ottawa to bring the news to the people of what the Americans have
00:27:01.540 now said. It's surprising every time he actually goes to Washington for more than five minutes
00:27:07.020 because the trade negotiations have gone nowhere. We weren't even present when these new tariffs
00:27:11.660 were being considered when the Mexicans actually did show up. We haven't been showing up. We've
00:27:16.360 been absentee the entire time. And you can say, well, Trump's unreasonable. He's the one who picked
00:27:20.660 terrified okay sure he is sure he is now or wait what what now what are we gonna do about it well
00:27:26.500 all these people are like gonna be padding padding the carny liberals on the back for simply doing
00:27:32.340 the things they should have been doing a year and a half ago and for so many times over the past
00:27:38.180 year and a half i hope the man has frequent flyer miles i mean anyways so he's meeting with u.s
00:27:45.300 senators meeting with industry leaders meeting with the u.s trade representative jameson greer
00:27:50.500 okay and carney has said that even he is very involved personally too with these trade negotiations
00:27:56.900 so wow he said it he said it must be true that it's like she's reading a liberal press release
00:28:02.660 and that's just her information she's going on dominical blanc he's down there he's working hard
00:28:08.100 he's pumping his glutes are getting a workout going up and down the stairs of the holiday
00:28:12.100 and he's staying at he's he's talking to people like senators congress people industry leaders
00:28:17.140 and Jamison Greer? Incredible. And Carney is involved too. How do I know? Because Carney said
00:28:23.880 it. Take it away, Elyria. This isn't just some background negotiation happening quietly. This
00:28:31.520 is like a major thing happening right now. Now, okay. So what does the United States actually
00:28:38.320 want in exchange for backing off on all of these tariffs? Well, Greer basically laid it out. He
00:28:44.100 said these tariffs that they're trying to put on us are very tailored, his words, as a response to
00:28:50.620 three specific things. Canada's dairy quotas are provincial bans on American alcohol and the quota
00:28:58.200 that Canada has currently put on American automobiles. So Canada, well, we've decided
00:29:05.120 we're going to put some stuff on the table to deal with this, right? So reports are saying
00:29:08.980 that we're looking at ending the provincial restrictions on american booze tweaking our
00:29:14.200 dairy trade rules and maybe lifting some of our own retaliatory tariffs in exchange though we are
00:29:21.460 asking for relief on the stuff that actually hurts us which is steel aluminum lumber no we're not
00:29:27.800 we're not doing that we're like we might i think we get some like auto relief of our own like we're
00:29:33.220 we're exchanging that more one for one which isn't that bad but we're not getting the tear we're not
00:29:37.820 getting the steel and aluminum tariffs off they were even saying on the cbc the liberal people
00:29:42.740 on the panel as well as the host katie simpson were talking about like well you know we're gonna
00:29:47.580 have to get used to this and we always knew we were gonna have to get used to this i'm like
00:29:50.360 not what you guys were saying a year and a half ago not what you guys were even saying a couple
00:29:54.600 months ago this is new and she's acting like oh my goodness it's so intricate like they're we're
00:30:00.060 gonna offer them some stuff that they want and we're gonna try and get some stuff back that we
00:30:04.540 want, it's like, oh, my sweet summer child, we could have been doing this a year and a half ago.
00:30:11.260 But instead, we let them get comfortable with the pain of their own tariffs, while we weren't
00:30:17.360 actually coping with it very well, because our domestic economic policy sucks, and theirs is
00:30:22.520 far better than us, and they were always a more powerful economy. Not unpatriotic to say, it's
00:30:27.680 just a fact. I'm patriotic, in fact, for wanting us to change it so we would have had leverage at
00:30:32.900 the table here. Polyev keeps pointing out ways we could get leverage. Sometimes he doesn't mention
00:30:38.420 putting supply management on the table because I think he doesn't want to take the political hit
00:30:42.200 for mentioning that when he can't even negotiate on behalf of it. Whatever, it's a thing in federal
00:30:47.280 politics that people don't like to touch it, although we should get rid of it. But how is he
00:30:52.240 ever wrong? Because we have this COPE video pretending like, oh my goodness, Carney and
00:30:58.260 the liberals they're just doing the things they have to do but you were attacking conservatives
00:31:03.080 not that long ago for suggesting the same things but being done in such a way where we would have
00:31:08.480 actually gotten substantial counter concessions you know like a real trade negotiation where you
00:31:14.080 play hardball and you say i want these three things and you're not and you're not getting
00:31:18.160 the things that you want unless i see substantial movement on them and i can walk away and make you
00:31:22.780 the villain of this trade deal by leaking all the things i was willing to give you and how you're
00:31:26.540 not even willing to give your own people tariff relief in exchange for these wins. That's what
00:31:31.040 we should have been doing. I've been told by liberals like, oh, you just want Trump to win
00:31:35.240 this negotiation. You just want to give him everything. Flipping everything? What? I want
00:31:39.900 to get rid of taxes that affect Canadians, which is, and I can package them all up and get rid of
00:31:44.500 them in exchange for zero tariffs. This feels like a secret win-win for Canada at the same time that
00:31:50.080 Trump gets to say that he has a win as an excuse to get rid of the tariffs. But we've just been
00:31:54.460 screwing around so much that we are now at this point where we're not getting much back in return.
00:32:00.860 One more thing I want to talk about this video before it's over. By the way, again, if you guys

00:32:10.740 consider hitting the join button and becoming a member of the channel. Also, that map behind me,
00:32:15.260 that is for the Alberta provincial riding of Calgary Curry. I am running for the UCP nomination
00:32:20.580 for that riding if you happen to live in that southwest calgary riding that kind of butts up
00:32:25.320 against the downtown uh you can sign up at my website pinned at the top of the comments
00:32:29.700 why at claypool.com and i'll try and give you a call at some point letting you know what my plan
00:32:33.940 is and what's going on i'm going to start doing that more often now that now that i'm home and
00:32:37.900 recovered from traveling but the thing i want to end this video on specifically is this because i
00:32:43.860 and i'm not going after any youtuber i understand why they made the videos it was it was a funny
00:32:47.880 subject there was this very very awkward and cringy video that the liberal party put out of
00:32:55.000 its door knockers and they were doing a door knocking rendition of 100 miles and it was like
00:33:00.920 when i will door knock 100 doors and i will knock something something thousand doors or whatever it
00:33:08.200 was really weird and it was all these like older liberal volunteers doing this and people are
00:33:13.660 poking fun at how ridiculous it was and they only posted the video on facebook because they knew
00:33:17.360 would get torn torn apart on x but eventually uh you know people like the pleb and other people
00:33:21.940 posted because it was so silly i would only point out as i do here those people were volunteering
00:33:27.900 remember the jokes on us if we make fun of liberal volunteers for being kind of silly kind of awkward
00:33:34.340 kind of weird when they're door knocking and we're not so i said here and let this plant a seed in
00:33:40.120 your mind if you have the ability to actually volunteer i said i caution everyone trying to
00:33:45.240 poke fun at the liberal door knocking video. Notice how while you are making fun of liberal
00:33:51.280 volunteers on the internet, they are going out and hitting doors for their team. You can volunteer
00:33:56.400 for the CPC here. And then I linked the volunteer page for the federal conservative party. And I'm
00:34:01.320 not saying that hypocritically like, well, Wyatt, you talk on the internet. I don't see you
00:34:05.300 volunteering. I actually volunteer a lot. Sometimes I am just passing through a town
00:34:09.820 where there is door knocking going on and I sign up and I go out on a weekend day for the fun of
00:34:16.200 it. You can see me here in Nepean where Carney was running. I was door knocking for Barbara Ball.
00:34:22.620 Kanata with Greg Kung in Nanaimo for Tamara Cronus. I even hit doors and dropped lit and
00:34:29.680 dropped off signs for the new blue party in Ontario on my own dime. And I've only ever done
00:34:34.420 this all on my own dime simply because I don't like Doug Ford that much. Volunteering is good.
00:34:40.200 You can laugh at these people for being weird, but follow up by doing more effective volunteer
00:34:45.260 work than they are. In the upcoming by-elections, it is going to be very, very key that conservatives
00:34:51.000 go out and they flip doors. Don't just go out and identify voters. Sometimes it takes 5, 10,
00:34:56.220 15 minutes at a door or something talking like a human being, not just giving them a party pitch
00:35:00.980 in order to flip someone from the Liberal team to the Conservatives.
00:35:05.260 And right now it is open season because of how badly they're screwing up on the trade issue.
00:35:10.620 It would be so easy to flip doors comparatively to how it usually is
00:35:14.660 because, heck, all these people probably voted for Carney because of elbows up against Trump
00:35:19.680 and he's doing the opposite.
00:35:21.000 And you can point out all these people have been attacking Conservatives
00:35:23.960 for suggesting that Carney actually engage in negotiations,
00:35:28.220 being willing to give up some things to get some things back in return, but we should have been
00:35:31.940 doing this a year and a half ago when it would have actually had the potential of getting us to
00:35:36.220 a zero tariff situation. We've waited so long that it's now going to be permanent pain forever
00:35:41.600 because we've let the Americans compensate for the tariff pain that they've caused themselves
00:35:46.340 and kind of like shifted their economy to being able to be better off, not better off, but being
00:35:53.940 able to handle the pain better, and we have not. Anyway, so again, volunteer, make sure you help
00:36:00.800 out. Now, some people are just unable to, you're too busy, you just have, you know, you're not able
00:36:05.960 to move very well. That's fine. That's fair enough. I just never want conservatives to
00:36:10.140 convince ourselves, ah, the liberals did something funny on social media. Ah, they're being made fun
00:36:14.560 of. They should be maybe made fun of. Maybe not volunteers. I wouldn't want to go after volunteers,
00:36:19.100 you know, genuinely standing up for the things they believe. I don't believe in those things.
00:36:23.180 I go after people attacking me or making content trying to influence people on the internet like I
00:36:28.980 yeah make fun of the liberal party in general but also make sure you're also going out there
00:36:33.100 if you have the capacity to and doing a better job than those people are or else they're going
00:36:37.360 to win because not everyone is following politics on the internet if Carney ever becomes a laughing
00:36:41.640 stock on the internet that doesn't mean people in real life have stopped voting for him most
00:36:45.940 people don't follow politics online especially on YouTube anyways with all that being said thank
