Mark Carney, the new Prime Minister of Canada, is already reorganizing the Liberal government, but not exactly for the better. You see, Mark Carney himself is basically just a new paint job on the Prime Minister's office, and so by getting rid of some ministers and shuffling people around, he is trying to put a totally new paint on the Liberal cabinet as well, and pretend that this is a totally different government.

00:00:00.000 Mark Carney, a day ahead of becoming Prime Minister of Canada tomorrow, is starting to already reorganize the Liberal government's cabinet, but not exactly for the better.
00:00:11.440 You see, Mark Carney himself is basically just a new paint job on the Prime Minister's office, and so by getting rid of some ministers and shuffling people around, he is trying to put a new paint job on the Liberal cabinet as well and pretend that this is a totally different government.
00:00:29.120 They're not responsible for all the bad stuff that's happened over the last 10 years, even though they've all been here for the entire time, and many of them are staying, they're just in new cabinet positions, and Mark Carney was the Liberal economic advisor for four years, but don't talk about that stuff, guys, that's facts, and we don't like facts.
00:00:47.600 So, he's just tossing people out, sometimes people who weren't even that bad at their jobs, but simply just changing the names on the doorways to pretend that there has been a real fresh, you know, face put on this party.
00:01:01.840 One of the people who's on the outs, and in fact is now no longer even running for re-election, is one Mark Holland.
00:01:09.720 I guess there is not allowed to be too many Marks in this government, and I'm going to be getting to Mark Miller being given his walking papers.
00:01:16.640 But Mark Holland, the MP for Ajax, is no longer running for re-election, and it's probably also because he was going to get whacked out of his position as the Health Minister of Canada.
00:01:28.120 Obviously, healthcare around the country has been abysmal, wait times and ERs in every single province has gotten worse, and while healthcare is a provincial jurisdiction, the thing is that the Health Minister of Canada is at least supposed to be pushing the provinces in the right direction, and at no point has Mark Holland or any other health minister under Justin Trudeau done that.
00:01:50.740 Mark Holland is also that weirdo who said that the carbon tax is actually good because it disincentivizes family road trips, and it saves kids from being stuck in the back of a car all summer.
00:02:03.240 The guy's very strange.
00:02:04.680 But what I want to point out, unless Mark Carney wasn't going to let him run again, and I really doubt it.
00:02:11.560 I think he's generally going to let most of the MPs run for re-election, even if they're not given a cabinet position.
00:02:17.940 The fact that he's running away from Ajax proves to me that this guy knows that they're on-the-ground polling is not very good.
00:02:25.980 In fact, let's look up the 338 Canada ratings for Ajax right now, because I've been told by all the pollsters that the Liberals are starting to bounce back.
00:02:36.360 Even look right here, it's in fact considered a safe for hiding.
00:02:41.060 I'm just pulling this 338 thing right up here.
00:02:44.280 Look, they're projecting at 53% for the Liberals, 30% for the Conservatives, and 10% for the NDP.
00:02:51.040 What you'll notice here is Trudeau resigned around here, and that's back when the Conservatives actually had the advantage in Mark Holland's riding of Ajax.
00:03:00.600 Now it's showing that things have widened again as they've gotten a new leader.
00:03:05.340 But if you've followed this channel long enough, I am very skeptical of the general polling consensus.
00:03:12.140 I think most of the pollsters are not doing a good job right now, and so the only two pollsters I really trust are Innovative Research and Abacus Data.
00:03:20.320 If you keep following them based on their ratings that the Conservatives are either 10% above the Liberals or 13% above, I think Ajax is very much a vulnerable seat.
00:03:32.840 Mark Holland knows that, and that's why he's running away.
00:03:36.900 But now let's jump to some other people who are not being let back into cabinet or at least being shuffled.
00:03:42.220 And that is we have here, trying to go through this report by CTV News, we have Jean-Yves Delacos, who has been moved out of public service and procurement.
00:03:54.880 And then the bigger one here is we have Immigration and Refugee and Citizenship Minister Mark Miller also being told to move on, being shuffled.
00:04:04.700 Not sure if he's being put into another cabinet position, but at the very least, he is not going to be Immigration Minister anymore.
00:04:12.200 Stephen Gilbeau, the Environment Minister, is also no longer in his position.
00:04:18.000 He's now like some sort of go-between between Quebec and the Liberal government, because Stephen Gilbeau is probably pretty popular among the environmentalist radicals, so they couldn't fully get rid of him.
00:04:30.460 So he's some sort of Quebec liaison now.
00:04:32.820 But the thing with Mark Miller's dismissal, the reason that's kind of a bit of a tell that, you know, Mark Carney's still a radical is that while he knows that Stephen Gilbeau is probably too radical to be in the government, he's been bad optically, why is he getting rid of Mark Miller, who's the guy who finally reduced immigration?
00:04:52.520 I think immigration is still way too high, but is Mark Carney indicating that he wants to go back to 500,000 new permanent residents a year, not, you know, 395,000 like it currently is?
00:05:05.660 That's really telling.
00:05:07.480 And the fact that, again, Mark Miller, not Mark Miller, there's too many Marks, it's good we're whacking a few, maybe Mark Carney's just doing this to keep me from getting confused.
00:05:15.820 But with Mark Holland, the man scared of road trips moving on, is this indicating that a lot of people in the Liberal Party knows that the Liberal Party is not doing very well in their own internal polls and a lot of people are fleeing the ship?
00:05:30.420 And then other people are also being shuffled out because Mark Carney's going to be taking actually a bit of a left turn going into the next election.
00:05:38.280 He's actually going to double down on Justin Trudeau's policies, increase mass immigration, run on bloated program spending, because this is what he's been advising Justin Trudeau to do the last four or five years.
00:05:50.340 I actually really don't like a lot of the coverage I see out of places like the National Post, which are generally pretty conservative, pretending like what the Liberals are doing by having Mark Carney become the leaders is tacking to the right.
00:06:04.680 They're not tacking to the right.
00:06:06.340 Mark Carney might fade to the right on certain issues, but he's mostly moving left.
00:06:11.460 The man's entire policy background, what he's advised on and what he's advocated for, has all been left.
00:06:17.800 Central bank digital currency, a carbon tax tariff.
00:06:21.160 He is in favor of increasing the inclusion rate on capital gains.
00:06:25.460 He was in favor of the GST-HST holiday.
00:06:27.740 He was in favor of the dental plan.
00:06:29.460 He was in favor of the pharmacare plan.
00:06:31.400 The man likes big bloated spending.
00:06:34.080 This is why I call him Mark Carney.
00:06:36.560 He is a big central planner.
00:06:39.700 I love my Mark Carney bit because every time I use it, it gets a bunch of liberals to come out of the woodwork and say he's not a communist.
00:06:46.360 And by me being hyperbolic, by calling him Mark Carney, they'll agree to things that they usually wouldn't have agreed to.
00:06:52.460 That he's still pretty left wing, but he's not a communist.
00:06:55.000 He is a central planner, but he's not Stalin.
00:06:57.320 I knew he wasn't Stalin.
00:06:58.300 I wanted you to admit to the fact that he is actually quite left wing.
00:07:02.780 By the way, Chrystia Freeland, for all of her, you know, fades to saying, hey, I'd like Mark Carney to be my finance minister if I win the liberal leadership race.
00:07:13.840 By the way, the liberal leadership race was effectively fake.
00:07:16.440 It was like a WWE fight where Mark Carney was supposed to win.
00:07:19.700 So all his opponents basically didn't try.
00:07:22.280 But now she's just transportation minister. 1.00
00:07:24.340 Okay, she already didn't have the background as somebody who was just a journalist to be finance minister as well as deputy prime minister.
00:07:31.920 But now she's transport minister. 0.98
00:07:34.100 I guess it's an improvement over Omar Al-Ghabra, but oh my goodness, it's still a bit of a crappy person to have in that position. 0.99
00:07:41.940 I don't know if she thinks this is a glamorous job or not.
00:07:45.800 And if I was her, I'd consider it pretty embarrassing.
00:07:47.900 But anyways, now I just want to quickly move over to a video that I believe demonstrates a lot of the desperation among the left in Canada still.
00:07:58.340 They still know the liberals are vulnerable.
00:08:00.600 And that's why whenever there's a critique from conservatives, they have this unhinged reaction to basically the most minor of criticisms of Mark Carney.
00:08:09.860 Here's Frank Dominic that I highlighted in a previous video, now going after Andrew Scheer for critiques of Mark Carney.
00:08:17.580 The spoiled bag of milk that is Andrew Scheer is claiming that the media didn't talk about Trudeau's blackface.
00:08:22.980 And he's claiming that the media is now protecting Carney in the exact same way.
00:08:27.040 Scheer, let me explain to you why you lost.
00:08:29.380 Here's the thing.
00:08:30.220 They actually, in fact, didn't really talk about the blackface thing.
00:08:33.060 The blackface thing was such a big story, you couldn't not talk about it. 1.00
00:08:36.460 But they didn't go after Justin Trudeau for the sheer hypocrisy of calling other people racist and bigoted over time or implying it at the same time that he would have to have exited his own government based on the rules he sets for other people.
00:08:51.100 But the thing is, Frank Dominic wants to pretend, oh, no, people did talk about it, so it's no longer an issue.
00:08:55.740 But how did they talk about it?
00:08:57.240 It's always the how that matters more than did they.
00:09:01.260 Because the polling was in your favor.
00:09:03.060 The momentum was in your favor.
00:09:04.500 The guy you were running against literally did blackface.
00:09:07.440 How did you lose?
00:09:08.360 It came down to Ontario, the 905, like it always does. 0.98
00:09:11.280 And I'm going to tell you why the 905 voted for Trudeau over you.
00:09:13.820 People in the core GTA, the 905, like to believe that they're good people. 1.00
00:09:17.020 And they'll vote for Trudeau and Ford at the same time.
00:09:19.220 But why didn't they vote for you?
00:09:20.760 Well, for at least, like, the last decade, Ford hasn't really said anything outwardly homophobic or racist.
00:09:25.560 Sorry, what did Andrew Scheer say that was homophobic or racist?
00:09:28.560 I know he's a supporter of traditional marriage back in, like, the early 2000s.
00:09:32.660 But, like, who cares?
00:09:33.740 What has he said that's racist?
00:09:35.560 And this is the thing that the left cannot stop themselves from going back to.
00:09:38.440 They always go back to the well. 0.99
00:09:39.860 Oh, my goodness, you're homophobic. 1.00
00:09:41.420 You're racist. 1.00
00:09:42.240 You're blah, blah, blah. 1.00
00:09:43.340 Someone's always on this conservative side secretly bigoted.
00:09:46.740 Well, the thing is that he's talking about Trudeau doing blackface.
00:09:50.120 But I never remember Frank Dominic continuing to bring that up because he'd only continue to bring it up if it was a conservative who done it.
00:09:56.960 He will acknowledge it happened.
00:09:58.920 He'll talk a bit about how it's inappropriate.
00:10:01.400 But it's never really one of those things that he's going to talk about in a fulsome manner because, you know, that's his side.
00:10:07.540 And you don't criticize your side too much.
00:10:10.480 And even though, yes, Trudeau did blackface on multiple occasions, Trudeau has been seen as somebody who has actively done everything in his power to show people that he is not racist.
00:10:18.020 Except, like, he keeps making, you know, minority groups worse off.
00:10:22.460 Like, I don't care if Trudeau's racist or not.
00:10:24.560 He's been bad for the country and bad for everyone of every race. 1.00
00:10:28.360 But Frank Dominic cares more about symbolic politics than he does, you know, results.
00:10:32.920 Maybe he virtue signals too much and he talks so much about being a feminist and this and that.
00:10:36.300 But people know that he is not a racist. 0.99
00:10:38.700 But you, you sloppy bag of milk. 0.99
00:10:40.800 Whenever somebody brought up gay people, you became the most nervous politician I've ever seen. 0.99
00:10:44.440 I know lifelong conservatives who didn't vote for you because they said they thought you were homophobic.
00:10:48.020 That's why you lost in Trudeau.
00:10:49.620 Frank Dominic doesn't know any conservatives.
00:10:51.340 Do you think this man knows conservatives?
00:10:54.680 By the way, I knew a guy who went to university with Frank Dominic here.
00:10:58.720 I believe Dominic's not actually his last name.
00:11:01.080 The man was, like, somebody who was, like, way too into being in a fraternity.
00:11:05.380 Like, it was to, like, an obsessive, weird, like, place.
00:11:10.000 Frank, no.
00:11:11.680 You don't know any actual conservatives who thought Scheer was too homophobic.
00:11:16.180 You're making things up.
00:11:17.480 The last video I reacted to you with was when you were considering the ECOS poll.
00:11:22.580 You know, probably not true, but it could still happen.
00:11:25.760 No, the ECOS poll that Frank Graves is putting out, that the liberals are 20 points ahead, is fake.
00:11:31.080 And if you don't understand the difference between impossible and probably not going to happen, you shouldn't be a teacher.
00:11:37.700 Somehow this man is a schoolteacher in Ontario, even though he can't figure out the difference between impossible and not likely.
00:11:44.220 Those are two very different things.
00:11:46.460 Not likely means it can still happen.
00:11:48.560 Impossible means that it absolutely cannot happen.
00:11:52.640 And know what is impossible?
00:11:54.300 Frank Dominic having actual conservative friends.
00:11:56.580 He doesn't know any conservatives because do you think this socialist who cooks linguine with Andrew Scheer, sorry, not Andrew Scheer, Jagmeet Singh for his videos, knows any conservatives?
00:12:06.060 Not a chance.
00:12:07.540 Anyways.
00:12:07.860 So that's it for me today, guys.
00:12:10.940 Mark Carney shuffling the cabinet.
00:12:12.600 I don't think it's going to do much.
00:12:13.900 Getting sworn in as prime minister tomorrow.
00:12:16.980 Let's see if Canadians like him.
00:12:18.640 I am skeptical that the election is going to be next week because if he does it next week, he'll have no time to get rid of the carbon tax and then the conservatives can rightfully call him a liar and that he's just going to promise to do it but not actually do it.
00:12:30.800 I think we're going to be seeing a, you know, late April election, maybe even a July or June election since I think they're going to want to buy a little bit of time.
00:12:41.240 This is as shallow as it is.
00:12:42.440 I think they want Mark Carney to be prime minister at least for a couple months because then they'll have more B-roll to work with.
00:12:48.600 They'll have more footage of him working in his office, signing things, him speaking in front of reporters more at parliament.
00:12:55.840 You cannot campaign in parliament during election time.
00:12:59.580 And right now they don't have any really good footage of him being prime minister.
00:13:02.960 And it's hard to campaign that you should reelect me as prime minister when literally no one's ever seen him on the job.
00:13:07.960 So that's why I'm still skeptical of people saying the election is literally going to be tomorrow.
00:13:13.140 Not quite what I think.
00:13:15.080 Just based on general strategy, I think they're going to try and push it back a bit.
00:13:18.980 But anyways, so that's it for me today, guys.
00:13:21.280 Like, subscribe, leave a comment, do all that great stuff.
00:13:24.540 See you tomorrow.
