Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:03.100 Right now, everyone in Canada is talking about what's happening at the G7 taking place in Kananaskis, Alberta.
00:00:10.480 And it's not because anything shocking or dramatic has happened.
00:00:13.980 Quite the contrary.
00:00:15.220 It's been very boring and predictable so far.
00:00:18.220 And predictable in that everyone knew that Mark Carney and the Liberal government
00:00:23.860 was lying when they were campaigning as being super anti-Trump.
00:00:28.260 So far, Mark Carney and the Liberals have been very friendly to Donald Trump and his administration.
00:00:33.760 Because why wouldn't you be?
00:00:35.840 Although Liberal supporters thought that they were going to try and get into a slugging match with Donald Trump
00:00:40.840 as soon as they saw him based on their extremely overheated rhetoric
00:00:44.600 that we're going to match them tariff for tariff.
00:00:47.760 We're going to try and sign new defense alliances in Europe.
00:00:51.000 We're going to try to trade more in Asia and Europe and trade less with the United States.
00:00:56.280 It was obviously not going to happen.
00:00:59.880 But today, I want to talk a little bit about the videos we've seen coming out of the G7
00:01:04.940 and then discussing all of the Liberal Party supporters online
00:01:09.600 who are convincing themselves that this is exactly what they voted for.
00:01:13.620 No, we didn't vote for Mark Carney to pick a fight with the U.S. and tell them what for.
00:01:18.940 We actually voted for him to be very friendly and strengthen Canada's alliance with the United States.
00:01:24.340 Liberal Party supporters, I find more than any other party, the Conservatives, the NDP, the Bloc, the Greens,
00:01:32.300 can convince themselves that whatever their party does is exactly what they wanted, actually.
00:01:37.720 Every time Justin Trudeau got caught in a new scandal or had massively overspent in a year
00:01:44.680 or had pursued some ridiculous new program, they said that the program is actually good
00:01:49.880 and this is exactly what we all expected.
00:01:52.020 Oh, you didn't expect this?
00:01:53.180 Well, we 100% expected this, even if it was something that Trudeau just sprung on them.
00:01:57.920 And now with Mark Carney, they're doing the same thing.
00:02:00.200 Now, before we get into the meat of this video, I just want to remind you guys,
00:02:04.660 if you like these videos, make sure to drop a like on this video, subscribe to the channel,
00:02:09.680 scroll down and hit that subscribe button if you are not yet a subscriber of TNT
00:02:13.660 and make sure to leave a comment on the topic of the day, what you think about what's going on at the G7 and whatnot.
00:02:21.140 But now let's get into it.
00:02:23.120 So this is one of the G7 meetings with all the world leaders here, including, I believe, the head of the EU.
00:02:31.100 And Mark Carney is giving the intro to the meeting and giving much praise to President Donald Trump.
00:02:37.860 Nostalgia isn't a strategy.
00:02:40.800 We have to change with the times and to build a better world.
00:02:44.760 And some of you, such as you, Mr. President, have anticipated these massive changes
00:02:49.400 and are taking bold measures to address them.
00:02:52.660 All of us around this table are reinforcing our militaries and security services for the new world.
00:03:00.000 But we all know that there can be no security without economic prosperity and no prosperity without resilience.
00:03:07.860 And in a world where shocks flow across the borders, that resilience comes from cooperation, cooperation around that starts around.
00:03:16.060 And so even though he's talking to an entire boardroom table full of world leaders and important people,
00:03:23.320 he specifically has to give a shout out to President Donald Trump.
00:03:27.760 And by the way, is Mark Carney doing anything wrong here?
00:03:30.820 No, it's actually what you'd expect from the prime minister of Canada.
00:03:35.060 And it's not because he's just particularly good at his job and so he's giving to us what we expect.
00:03:40.500 It's because it's very obvious what he should be doing here.
00:03:43.720 But again, if you watch the Liberal Party's federal election campaign and you watch them now,
00:03:50.220 these are two totally different parties you would assume if you didn't know what Mark Carney looked like
00:03:55.440 and you didn't know what his voice sounded like when he was talking during the campaign and he's talking now.
00:03:59.760 It sounds like the Conservatives won.
00:04:02.160 And again, I would expect even if the NDP somehow won an election,
00:04:05.960 they'd probably also act this way at the G7.
00:04:09.160 Because what else are you going to do?
00:04:10.660 We have an economy like a tenth of the size of the United States.
00:04:14.760 But now let's get into some other clips here, some other stuff that's been going down.
00:04:19.720 I want to get into a little bit of some of these other clips of the meetings.
00:04:23.260 And then I want to go to what liberals have been saying to justify this.
00:04:27.960 Or even what they were saying before the meeting,
00:04:30.280 hyping it up that Mark Carney's really going to, you know, give like Donald Trump what for or whatever.
00:04:36.720 But here is the video that Mark Carney himself posted after his meeting with Donald Trump yesterday.
00:04:43.220 Thanks for making me.
00:04:45.980 It's quite all right.
00:04:50.920 Beautiful. Thank you.
00:04:51.860 Thank you.
00:04:53.260 Just, you know, just warm images, taking happy photos next to Trump.
00:04:57.480 Again, is that wrong in any way?
00:04:59.520 No.
00:04:59.860 If anything, it's the right thing for him to do.
00:05:01.640 Again, though, he didn't run on this.
00:05:05.360 Here is another clip when Donald Trump is in a scrum with the press and they're asking very aggressive questions.
00:05:12.420 Mark Carney even jumps in to try and politely diffuse it so that they can move on to other things happening at the G7.
00:05:19.100 Some liberals have claimed, look, Mark Carney has to save Trump from the nasty press.
00:05:23.840 If there is one thing that you know about Donald Trump, it's that he loves fighting with the press.
00:05:28.760 He does not need to be saved from them.
00:05:30.300 But it's Mark Carney obviously trying to be very friendly and dutiful.
00:05:34.540 Oh, maybe we should be moving on.
00:05:36.320 And someone pointed out, even in this clip, it's like Mark Carney looks at Trump, waits for permission for him to stop the questions.
00:05:42.860 And then he does it all Democrat run cities and they think they're going to use them to vote.
00:05:49.160 It's not going to happen.
00:05:50.180 Thank you.
00:05:56.600 If you don't mind, I'm just going to exercise my role, if you will, as a G7 terrorist.
00:06:02.220 Since we have a few more minutes with the president and his team, and then we actually have to start the meeting to address some of these big issues.
00:06:08.680 I would even say probably good job on Carney for doing that.
00:06:17.860 You know, get it moving.
00:06:19.060 Let's move towards real business.
00:06:20.920 Donald Trump even had to leave early yesterday.
00:06:22.940 Not because, you know, he was sick of Mark Carney or like this one cartoonist I'm about to show because he just hates Mark Carney and wants to go hang out with Vladimir Putin.
00:06:32.240 If I was able to save that one.
00:06:33.860 No, it's because, you know, he's dealing with Iran right now.
00:06:37.420 Nothing bad has happened.
00:06:38.660 And again, that's kind of the point.
00:06:41.140 Why are we hyping up that like, oh, my goodness, look, Donald Trump left.
00:06:45.820 Does this mean that he's scared of Mark Carney or does this mean that he's sick of Mark Carney?
00:06:49.840 No.
00:06:51.120 Mark Carney is acting the exact way that you would expect like Pierre Polyev to have acted.
00:06:57.400 Because, again, this is a very scripted type of thing any prime minister would do.
00:07:01.100 But you'll have people like this Chris Laboisier person saying the competent and confident, the competent and confidence would have killed Trump, forcing his ego to compel him to leave.
00:07:12.800 A wonderful address by P.M. Carney.
00:07:15.880 I am proud that Canada is being seen as the best way to deal with the worst of American.
00:07:21.920 Trump, like they're they're acting like this guy's acting like this was the reason why Donald Trump ended up leaving early tomorrow yesterday.
00:07:31.080 Not because he had to deal with a terror state, Iran, fighting with Israel because Iran wanted to build nuclear weapons.
00:07:38.940 No, it's because Carney droned on and gave a land like acknowledgement and whatnot.
00:07:44.780 That's stupid to do, by the way, when we're trying to exert assert ourselves as a strong, independent country.
00:07:50.300 When we start doing land acknowledgement, saying that we don't even really own any of this stuff.
00:07:54.620 It's embarrassing.
00:07:56.040 But now I want to move on to some other things that were posted.
00:07:59.120 Here is a post of one of our favorite leftists on social media, Laura Babcock, reacting to this other person, says the G summit was much more productive today without Putin's sleeper agents sitting at the table.
00:08:13.700 And Laura Babcock says, huh, well done.
00:08:17.680 Well done.
00:08:18.060 So wait, wait, we don't need the Americans because in other cases, the left is praising like Mark Carney for for working with Donald Trump so well, for being respected by him.
00:08:28.620 But then we also don't want him at the table, apparently, even though they're praising him for pleasing Donald Trump.
00:08:33.840 Here is Laura Babcock's podcast the day before or the day of the G7 starting.
00:08:40.260 And again, they're just the glee that they have in their made up version of how politics works.
00:08:46.820 She's talking to Americans, talking about how, you know, Carney is going to be able to really deal with Donald Trump.
00:08:51.660 We look at the G7 summit and Carney is like making deals, man.
00:08:57.380 Like, I mean, there is some really strong systemic stuff going on with this government that is completely different from the previous government.
00:09:06.600 That everything so far has been beyond what I could have expected.
00:09:12.000 What are these people even talking about?
00:09:14.340 Like, does this man have a Mark Carney body pillow at home?
00:09:17.600 Because there's no, he's signing deals.
00:09:21.100 What deals?
00:09:21.940 He signed a deal with the UK with Keir Starmer for like some sort of trade agreement, something that any government was obviously going to do.
00:09:30.020 That is like one deal I think they've made.
00:09:31.660 I think they've signed some preliminary thing with France and that was a few months ago.
00:09:36.600 Nothing really setting the world on fire here.
00:09:38.980 It's, again, what you'd almost exactly expect from the government of Canada to be doing.
00:09:44.400 In this short amount of time.
00:09:46.220 Carney's been a star.
00:09:47.480 He's been a freaking star.
00:09:48.700 The whole world thinks that, right?
00:09:50.560 I get emails from American viewers of the OSHA all the time saying, we wish we had Carney.
00:09:56.320 We, you know, we're watching the kind of leadership that like they're nostalgic for.
00:09:59.840 That's a horrifying look.
00:10:04.620 No, Americans are not emailing her.
00:10:07.520 Do you know how I know Americans are not emailing this woman?
00:10:10.520 Because I have a bigger viewer base than she does.
00:10:14.140 Not because I'm super big, but I just have a bigger viewership base than she does.
00:10:18.900 And I can tell you, I don't get a lot of emails from Americans.
00:10:21.880 If I've ever gotten an email from American, maybe I could count them on one hand.
00:10:26.600 Because most Americans don't watch shows about Canada.
00:10:30.000 It's just because Canada's a bit of a sideshow to the United States as we kind of should be.
00:10:34.380 We're very small.
00:10:35.240 It would be like an American in California really following what's going on in New Jersey.
00:10:41.320 Unless you're like a hyperpolitico, you're not going to do that.
00:10:43.840 Let alone follow the microscopic party politics of another country like Canada.
00:10:49.140 She's lying.
00:10:50.140 She's just lying.
00:10:51.080 And these people, again, think, oh my goodness, they're signing deals.
00:10:54.740 I thought you didn't want them to be signing deals.
00:10:56.600 I thought you didn't want them to be working with Donald Trump.
00:10:58.700 I know they're celebrating some of the deals with Europe that they're getting into.
00:11:02.280 But again, these same people will be talking about, and you go through their timelines,
00:11:06.420 celebrating that Carney works so well as Trump.
00:11:08.940 See, he has Trump's respect, unlike Pierre Polyev would have had.
00:11:12.600 It's like, aren't you guys running on the idea that Polyev is the man of Donald Trump?
00:11:17.560 He's Donald Trump's man in Canada.
00:11:19.960 And we don't want the respect of Donald Trump.
00:11:22.260 We want him to fear us or whatever delusional things they were thinking.
00:11:25.380 It was obviously never going to happen.
00:11:26.920 And now these people, having not been given the thing they were promised by the liberals
00:11:31.660 in the last campaign, are now celebrating them doing exactly what the conservatives would have
00:11:36.680 been doing, you know, trying to gain the respect of Trump, working well together, giving him praise
00:11:41.720 for things that he deserves praise for around the military and the economy and whatnot, you
00:11:46.900 know, just, and that's fine.
00:11:48.880 That's good.
00:11:49.580 But again, these people have the innate ability to pretend that they are getting exactly what
00:11:53.900 they wanted while having not gotten it at all.
00:11:56.560 This other guy, Mike Gerald Gibbs posts, according to CBC, Canadian officials say they did not give
00:12:04.380 Trump the U.S.
00:12:05.260 Canada friendship pin he's wearing.
00:12:06.780 They don't know how he got it.
00:12:08.160 He showed up wearing it.
00:12:09.300 Interesting.
00:12:10.340 Interesting.
00:12:11.780 Why is that interesting?
00:12:12.980 These people have so little to talk about and grasp onto that they are now looking at like,
00:12:18.660 oh my goodness, he's wearing a U.S.-Canada pin.
00:12:20.660 It must be because he is utterly terrified of the alpha male that is Mark Carney.
00:12:25.940 So he stuck it on so Mark Carney wouldn't beat him with a sock full of nickels.
00:12:29.920 No, it's very standard when you're meeting another country and it's the G7, many countries
00:12:35.620 are there, but it's being hosted in Canada, that the officials from that country may wear
00:12:40.500 a pin that reflects pride in their own country and a friendship with the country that they're
00:12:44.460 visiting.
00:12:45.200 It happens all of the time.
00:12:47.180 I own pins for other countries and it's not because I'm scared of them.
00:12:50.400 Usually it's because I like them.
00:12:52.000 Oh, and now, and so they're like, see, well, Donald Trump likes Canada with Mark Carney at
00:12:56.500 the helm.
00:12:57.000 Weren't you guys, isn't that something you guys wouldn't have wanted?
00:12:59.960 Like I literally right here have a pin for Northern Ireland, the pin of Ulster right here.
00:13:06.940 This is not because I'm scared of Northern Ireland.
00:13:09.520 I tend to like Northern Ireland quite a bit.
00:13:13.420 So if I ever show up with a pin like that, it's not going to, and I go somewhere there,
00:13:18.960 you're not going to get like here, a report coming out saying why it wasn't, why it wasn't
00:13:23.360 given that pin by Bell, like a Belfast official.
00:13:26.780 What's going on here?
00:13:28.160 Nothing.
00:13:28.880 I put on a pin because I like the place.
00:13:32.740 That's literally all that's going on here.
00:13:35.340 I don't even think we have much else to talk about on this front.
00:13:37.800 And I think that one more thing we could maybe talk about that's not related to this specific
00:13:41.940 issue is what has gone on in the House of Commons yesterday.
00:13:48.060 And that was one of the Liberal MPs, MP Nate Erksine-Smith, actually going after his own
00:13:55.760 party.
00:13:56.740 He was one of the people who was actually originally put into Mark Carney's mini cabinet as the
00:14:02.220 housing minister.
00:14:02.900 So he was the housing minister for about five seconds, like less than a month.
00:14:07.220 And then after the election, he is no longer housing minister.
00:14:10.280 And that crappy former mayor of Vancouver is now the housing minister.
00:14:15.700 And Nate Erksine-Smith seems to be really perturbed about it all, which is why he's now
00:14:20.260 going after his own party for the truncated time that's been allotted in the House of Commons
00:14:25.520 to get legislation passed.
00:14:26.900 First, first, we should welcome greater parliamentary and civil society scrutiny.
00:14:32.600 The government's proposed guillotine motion seeks to limit parliamentary debate at every
00:14:36.060 stage of the bill.
00:14:37.120 More concerning, it will jam all, all expert and public testimony and all committee scrutiny
00:14:42.780 in less than two days.
00:14:44.500 For what?
00:14:45.240 For what?
00:14:45.900 Consider that Parliament isn't currently scheduled to sit between June 20th and September 15th.
00:14:50.900 We are rushing legislation through Parliament under the auspices of an urgent threat, but
00:14:56.500 we aren't willing to put Parliament to work for, what, an additional week to get things
00:14:59.820 right?
00:15:00.620 The debate on amendments does not need to be rushed.
00:15:04.240 We could easily, easily extend committee hearings by an additional week, provide resources
00:15:08.900 for the committee to sit every day, and engage in a more thoughtful process to hear from experts,
00:15:13.240 improve the bill, and pass it through the House by candidate.
00:15:15.640 And that was Erskine Smith there getting applause from the Conservatives.
00:15:21.840 Not his own party, definitely not.
00:15:24.020 They are pushing through legislation as fast as they can.
00:15:26.860 At the same time, we're in, as he's pointing out, we were, and so what I am saying that the
00:15:32.320 Liberals said this during the campaign, it's not just me, it's their own people confirming
00:15:35.940 that this is what they ran on, because he's saying that we said that we're in a crisis,
00:15:39.400 so why are we rushing through legislation without ever actually even looking into it to make
00:15:45.400 sure we do it right?
00:15:46.280 But they could say, well, we have to do it fast because we're in a crisis, but then
00:15:50.620 they're going on vacation.
00:15:52.240 Why not extend the legislative session for a week or two, or maybe throughout the summer,
00:15:56.980 if we have such pressing work to do, and then we can do it right, right now, rather than
00:16:01.940 putting a bunch of half-baked bills through the House of Commons now without proper oversight,
00:16:06.660 without proper expert testimony, because I guess we all got to get a pina colada on vacation
00:16:11.820 ASAP.
00:16:13.200 So that's funny.
00:16:14.800 That's something that we should be monitoring in the future, how many upset Liberals there
00:16:19.520 are in the Mark Carney government, because I've said this in previous videos.
00:16:23.060 Mark Carney may have never been an elected official until recently, but the man is a politician
00:16:28.340 through and through.
00:16:29.580 He likes working with people in his government that he likes, and when I say that, I mean personally
00:16:33.940 likes.
00:16:34.340 They may not even be good at their jobs.
00:16:36.100 The McGregor guy, who's now Gregor, the guy who is the former mayor of Vancouver, who's
00:16:42.200 now housing minister, is objectively the worst pick he could have made.
00:16:45.760 A man who has failed on housing on a municipal level is now going to be the housing minister
00:16:50.540 on a federal level.
00:16:52.120 And it replaced Nate Erskine-Smith, who, although I wouldn't probably agree with his approach
00:16:57.600 to housing, he's far more competent probably, at least in managing a ministry, than that guy
00:17:02.800 was going to be.
00:17:03.600 There's tons of people in Mark Carney's cabinet who are underqualified, who have failed multiple
00:17:09.300 times.
00:17:09.700 Christia Freeland, Melanie Jolie, Anita Anand.
00:17:13.180 We have people like Sean Frazier in his third file after failing in immigration and housing.
00:17:19.280 He is now the attorney general.
00:17:21.280 Make it make sense.
00:17:22.760 Tons of people all over the place, either in the same industry that they sucked at or they've
00:17:26.700 been shuffled over to another one despite sucking at the one that they were just at.
00:17:31.100 Because Mark Carney likes being around people he's friendly with.
00:17:34.100 And it doesn't get much deeper than that.
00:17:35.940 As a man who supposedly has private sector experience, it demonstrates he doesn't really
00:17:40.940 have a private sector mindset.
00:17:43.660 He's somebody who had a lot of connections.
00:17:45.640 So he was a good person to slot onto a board because he could bring a lot of money and investment.
00:17:50.300 But he's not the type of man who could build a small business up from the ground.
00:17:53.980 He's the type of guy who, if he already has a lot of gravitas and name recognition from
00:17:58.680 having worked in mid-level or executive levels of banks or in the Bank of Canada, the Bank
00:18:07.600 of England, then he can do things in the private sector and have a lot of impact.
00:18:12.200 But he's not actually good at the actual nitty gritty management.
00:18:16.020 He's good at macro direction stuff.
00:18:18.960 But he's going to, right now in Canada, I would say that he's going in generally the
00:18:22.780 wrong macro direction and he's going to make so many tactical errors on the way in going
00:18:28.580 the wrong direction because he's put all the wrong people in places of power.
00:18:32.800 But anyways, that should be it for this video, guys.
00:18:35.800 I'm going to be back probably later either today or tomorrow to talk about Pierre Polyev's
00:18:41.260 Leadership Review that's going to be coming up in January of 2026.
00:18:45.340 I want to talk about the kind of different factions within the party who are going to
00:18:49.160 be yes, Pierre or no, Pierre.
00:18:52.180 Explain the thinking in each group.
00:18:54.040 There are going to be groups who, even if I don't agree with the way they would vote in
00:18:58.480 the Leadership Review, I want to explain why, because some of it's logical, some of it's
00:19:02.040 not logical.
00:19:03.020 Even from the yes, Pierre side, you're going to get people who are simply saying yes because
00:19:06.940 their fans appear, but they don't really think about it much deeper.
00:19:11.260 And then you're going to have no Pierre people who are going to be like the Doug Ford types
00:19:15.320 who want a hyper pragmatic leader who's not actually conservative, but he can win elections
00:19:19.080 or whatever.
00:19:20.120 Anyways, but I'll be coming up with that probably in the next day or tomorrow after that.
00:19:24.560 I don't know.
00:19:25.380 I'm also traveling for the entire rest of the month.
00:19:27.760 I mean, I literally go home to Calgary tomorrow, currently in Montana.
00:19:32.180 I go home from Calgary and then the next day I have a trip into the US, another trip into
00:19:37.620 the US, and then I fly back, then I go to Vancouver, then I fly back from Vancouver, then
00:19:40.940 I go to Toronto.
00:19:43.140 I'm going to be exhausted.
00:19:44.440 And then July hits.
00:19:45.920 And if you live in Calgary and it's July, Stampede's on at that time.
00:19:49.560 And if you are at all political, it's a jam-packed time of the year.
00:19:53.900 Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys.
00:19:56.480 See you later.
