00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel. 0.99
00:00:06.300 Man, the carny liberals are gluttons for humiliation. 0.97
00:00:10.180 You would think after they were caught lying about the Gordie Howe bridge deal, 0.98
00:00:14.400 they would have just gone silent on the entire matter and waited for the thing to pass.
00:00:19.720 But instead, they keep saying and doing things that are extending their humiliation.
00:00:25.780 They ended up uninviting the Americans from the bridge opening ceremony,
00:00:30.500 which I think they thought was going to limit the amount that people were making fun of them for the bad deal,
00:00:36.260 but it just drew attention to the fact that they are very upset that they got played.
00:00:41.260 Check out this post from U.S. President Donald Trump reacting to the U.S. being disinvited.
00:00:46.960 President Trump here says,
00:00:48.440 Canada disinvited the United States of America to the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which is fine considering that they are paying substantial tariffs to the United States, but the original deal on the bridge, which was terribly negotiated by the previous administration, no longer stands.
00:01:04.900 We changed the terms of the deal so that the United States of America would get 50% of the profit. Thank you for your attention this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
00:01:13.100 now he is actually wrong it's not a profit sharing deal as was exposed by the agreement
00:01:18.100 that previously mark carney was claiming to be profit sharing it's actually revenue sharing so
00:01:22.880 it's even better for the americans than trump is actually portraying here but in just a second
00:01:27.660 we're going to get into a liberal mp now saying well we were right all along because because trump
00:01:33.420 has acknowledged it's profit sharing yes he used the wrong word the agreement basically says revenue
00:01:39.060 And even Mark Carney the other day had to acknowledge that when a CTV news reporter pressed him on lying to their news organization saying it was profit sharing when that is the opposite of what the agreement ends up describing.
00:01:53.340 But I want to quickly cut over to the bridge opening ceremony just in case we were thinking that the Americans were missing anything.
00:02:02.560 Yeah.
00:02:09.060 now you may think i'm making fun of this and it's very deeply disrespectful of me because
00:02:30.700 they're indigenous well i am making fun of it and it's not because they're indigenous because 0.97
00:02:36.500 this is ridiculous. If a bunch of white hippies got up and started singing some stupid protest 1.00
00:02:41.680 song from the 1940s, I would also be making fun of it. What is this? We even had Gregor Robertson 1.00
00:02:48.640 have to get up and acknowledge that the bridge is now going to take well more than 50 years for it
00:02:54.220 to pay for itself because of the revenue sharing agreement we have with the Americans. People
00:02:58.360 claim falsely, well, we only have to pay them for 15 years. No, it is now that they get paid 50%
00:03:05.800 of the net revenues after some maintenance costs for the next 15 years. And then I believe 100%
00:03:11.500 of it will go to Canada until the bridge is then paid off in which it will go back to being a 50%
00:03:17.220 revenue sharing agreement. What Donald Trump basically did is he made it so that he gets
00:03:22.520 to take advantage of some of the benefits from the bridge right now rather than it being something
00:03:28.400 where it's 50 years in the future. But let's be very clear, the Americans did roll Mark Carney
00:03:34.800 and the liberals on this agreement they look really bad here and they claim well it's not a
00:03:38.960 lot of money we've seen that over the next few years this could be hundreds of millions of
00:03:44.160 dollars that are going to be given to the americans and that we are not going to have a hold of
00:03:48.800 anymore that is bad and it in fact is symbolically extremely embarrassing in just a second here i
00:03:56.000 now want to jump over to liberal mp mark garretson basically claiming the liberals totally didn't get
00:04:03.280 owned here guys we're not owned we're not owned we're not owned because we say we're not owned
00:04:09.680 but we're going to do that in a second here i just quickly want to do my normal plugs

00:04:46.240 if you want to buy a ucp membership and support me in the nomination i really want to win this
00:04:51.040 riding back and i have this great view of the riding where it shows me poll by poll results
00:04:55.280 from last election. It's a very NDP heavy riding on the East, but on the West, it gets a little
00:05:00.680 more conservative. As you can see, if we look at the 2019 results here, if I can get to generate.
00:05:05.820 Yeah. I think that what we really need to be doing is running far more aggressive campaigns
00:05:11.840 against the NDP provincially, because I find too often conservatives want to have nice and
00:05:17.080 friendly campaigns and they keep telling themselves negative campaigning doesn't work
00:05:20.500 when they often get beaten in these local races by NDP candidates who go super negative at the
00:05:26.860 doors and in all their advertising. And I think to win them back, you have to embrace negative
00:05:31.700 politics and going after these pro-drug freaks who are trying to push the province back into
00:05:36.900 the terrible policies that were around when the NDP was in power back in 2015 to 2019.
00:05:43.560 Anyways, so that is it. Now let us jump over to Mark Gerritsen to hear his take on all this.
00:05:50.320 He is the chief whip of the Liberal Party, and on Facebook he posted, I'm just going to hang out and wait here for Michelle Ferreri, Ryan Williams, and Dean Allison, and the rest of the conservative MP who called me a liar to apologize.
00:06:05.100 And he posts the Donald Trump statement, and he's highlighted the Gordie Howe Bridge, and up below, United States of America gets 50% of the profit.
00:06:13.000 And he's underlined that because it's super significant, guys. It's just a profit-sharing agreement because Donald Trump said so.
00:06:20.420 Is Mark Garrison just telling on himself that he puts more into what Donald Trump says
00:06:24.860 than what Mark Carney and the agreement say?
00:06:27.340 Yes, Donald Trump is just pounding out posts while he's sitting at his desk
00:06:32.520 or just telling a staff member what to post on his Truth Social account.
00:06:38.080 He said profits when he should have said revenues.
00:06:40.900 When Mark Carney was claiming revenues, he was lying,
00:06:44.200 which is why he's admitted to not being clear enough
00:06:48.260 when he had previously called it a profit-sharing agreement.
00:06:50.920 I don't know why Mark Gerritsen thinks this is, like, a big own.
00:06:55.580 This is literally nothing.
00:06:57.040 He made an entire video claiming that the conservatives were lying
00:07:01.780 and Pierpaglia was spreading misinformation about the agreement
00:07:05.620 by saying that it was a revenue-sharing agreement.
00:07:10.000 He was lying, and now he's, like, grasping for straws
00:07:13.100 to pretend that he's still somewhat right because Donald Trump agrees with him.
00:07:16.440 Wow, Mark Gerritsen is now jumping up and down to tell us how much he agrees with Donald Trump. Not a great look. The whip of the conservative party, Chris Workington, here said above the original video of Mark Gerritsen walking, you know, listlessly through the woods calling Pierre Polyev, you know, a liar and saying that he's spreading misinformation.
00:07:39.220 Warkington here says,
00:07:40.980 Mark Carney's government chief whip, Mark Gerritsen,
00:07:43.680 posted a video accusing the conservatives of lying about the deal struck by Mark Carney,
00:07:48.000 which gives the United States a share of the toll revenues from the Gordie Howe International Bridge
00:07:52.240 before Canadians are reimbursed.
00:07:54.560 This video is still online.
00:07:56.060 The facts are now clear.
00:07:57.980 The conservatives are right.
00:07:59.000 Mark Gerritsen was completely wrong.
00:08:01.020 When is he going to take down the video and apologize for spreading false information?
00:08:06.260 Absolutely, he should.
00:08:07.380 And now I want to jump over to actually Dean Allison's recent post because he's been roasting him pretty hard on this one because of how much he's just been, I don't know, clinging to this whole idea that because Donald Trump used the word prophet that he's no longer a liar.
00:08:23.740 It really shows you what these people are like, that they think that even if the agreement says one thing, if they can find a singular word in a social media post by Donald Trump, they can then claim the opposite and say the conservatives are still lying.
00:08:37.380 Dean Allison here says, this is awkward, Mark Gerritsen. Even your own prime minister acknowledged
00:08:43.180 that he misled the public. Are you saying that Carney was wrong to acknowledge his own lie?
00:08:47.800 I mean, it would be the liberal thing to do, dig in and double down when clearly wrong,
00:08:53.340 because he had previously posted just before this one, the tape of Mark Carney being asked
00:08:58.600 by the CTV news reporter of why he was claiming it was a revenue sharing or a profit sharing
00:09:04.340 agreement when in fact it was a revenue sharing agreement. I just want to jump back to that video
00:09:09.540 to, I just want to jump back to that video to give you a little more context if you haven't
00:09:14.320 seen it yet, because you could tell Mark Carney was not a happy camper having to acknowledge the
00:09:19.640 fact that he was wrong on this one. This is not something that Mark Carney flippantly said. It
00:09:24.740 came with, you know, a lot of resistance. And Mark Harrison is claiming that no, no, no,
00:09:30.960 You know, Mark Carney, even though he admitted that he had lied, is still right.
00:09:35.320 And yeah, could I have explained it better on a Sunday morning at Stampede?
00:09:39.860 Yeah, with a cowboy hat on?
00:09:41.400 Yes, I could have explained it better.
00:09:43.660 You told CTV News explicitly on July 12th that the splitting of profits or net revenue with the U.S. from the Gordie Hill Bridge
00:09:50.700 would only happen after accounting for the debt of the bridge.
00:09:54.880 But that's not what the text of the New Deal says.
00:09:57.740 So, was that a lie, and were you downplaying your concessions to Trump?
00:10:04.160 Thank you for the question.
00:10:06.100 First, let's be clear about what the deal is and isn't with respect to the bridge.
00:10:13.960 And the first thing is, this is a good deal.
00:10:17.200 No, we don't need to listen to the full statement again, but I love when he started out his answer to the CTV News reporter by saying,
00:10:23.460 let's be very clear, this is a good deal.
00:10:26.200 As I said yesterday, if it was a good deal, why'd you lie about what was in it?
00:10:30.340 If it's a good deal, you would just tell people exactly what it said.
00:10:33.520 But he claimed, no, no, no, they're going to pay for the interest of building the bridge.
00:10:37.620 And they're also going to pay for the operating costs.
00:10:39.740 And they're also going to give us some of the money to pay back the construction.
00:10:44.960 And then we'll split revenues after that.
00:10:47.240 It's going to be like five bucks.
00:10:48.660 That's the impression you would have gotten from his original statements.
00:10:51.120 And that's what all of the liberal media flacks were also parroting when they were on CBC News or on social media, acting as if this was a big own on Donald Trump, because he's going to get nothing from this agreement.
00:11:03.840 He's going to get, like, next to nothing.
00:11:06.120 There's not even going to be any money to split for the few years.
00:11:08.860 And that is absolutely not true.
00:11:11.380 And let's pull back and talk about Mark Gerritsen again.
00:11:14.780 Isn't it funny that when he went through Trump's posts and highlighted Gordie Howe Bridge and the
00:11:19.600 profit sharing part of it, which again isn't actually accurate to what the trade, to what
00:11:24.640 the deal says, that's just Trump using the wrong word there, he was literally sharing a post where
00:11:30.820 Donald Trump was laughing at and mocking the Canadian government for cutting the U.S. out of
00:11:37.360 the bridge opening ceremony because they were embarrassed about being played by the agreement.
00:11:42.400 That tends to be a bigger tell than Trump using the wrong word.
00:11:46.860 He should have said revenue when he said profit.
00:11:49.220 The bigger tell is that the Canadian government didn't want to be seen next to the Americans while the bridge was opening.
00:11:55.240 That was the bigger tell because they're embarrassed by it.
00:11:57.860 And they don't want the public to be reminded about what happened by seeing the Americans standing next to them,
00:12:03.460 beaming with pride that they had gotten 50% of the revenues when they weren't supposed to get a
00:12:07.980 dime for like 50 years until the bridge was actually fully paid off. But whatever floats
00:12:15.440 their boat, at the end of the day, way more people are aware of what happened because they do things
00:12:20.900 like canceling the bridge opening ceremony with Americans and doing it solo. It's the Streisand
00:12:26.780 effect. When you try and cover something up, it just gets more people to look at you and say,
00:12:31.000 Oh, what's that person covering up over there? Oh, they got humiliated by Donald Trump. Well, that sucks. But now I want to jump over to this other post by Dean Allison. Or no, actually, it's Roman Baber reacting to something that Andrew Coyne posted.
00:12:47.280 Andrew Coyne a supposed conservative, because in the midst of all of this bridge controversy,
00:12:53.380 we have the legacy media and fake conservatives who act as a liberal media flax telling us that
00:13:01.700 you are not, you know, you're a bad person if you're a conservative, criticizing the Canadian
00:13:07.900 government. So there's this article right here from the Globe and Mail from Andrew Coyne, and it
00:13:13.500 says opinion Canadian conservatives have a patriotism problem and within the article it
00:13:19.960 goes on to basically chastise conservatives for having been critical of Mark Carney's actions
00:13:26.620 when it comes to getting a trade deal with the Americans that conservatives basically in the
00:13:32.260 theory of Andrew Coyne in an ideal world should just be sitting there clapping like seals saying
00:13:37.580 that they're doing great work they're amazing they're fighting for Canada simply because they're
00:13:42.920 the Canadian government going against the American government, when in fact, Mark Carney's not going
00:13:48.280 against the American government. He constantly makes concessions. David Eby, Mark Carney, and
00:13:53.580 Doug Ford, also Wob Canoe, although the Premier of Manitoba is pretty much irrelevant, they love to
00:14:00.340 talk tough, and then they make constant concessions right after talking tough. They are not standing
00:14:06.300 up for Canada in any way. The elbows-up approach to getting a deal was always stupid, but being 0.99
00:14:11.820 hyperconciliatory at the same time makes it doubly as stupid because we're not even being 1.00
00:14:17.400 obstinate as like a strategy. We're pretending to be obstinate while we keep throwing in the towel 0.99
00:14:23.440 on a bunch of issues like the DST on different reciprocal tariffs we had put on them that
00:14:28.780 Carney secretly canceled during the last election, the tripling of the streaming tax,
00:14:33.580 and a bunch of other stuff like the Gordie Howe Bridge. And I thought Roman Baber went after
00:14:39.580 Andrew Coyne here in a very sharp but needed way he said this is Soviet style BS from Andrew Coyne
00:14:48.860 it's what communists and Nazis do when you disagree with the direction your country is going
00:14:53.520 opposing liberal policies that ruin Canada including the fumbling of the trade file
00:14:57.900 is an act of patriotism by the Canadian loyal opposition absolutely there is nothing and there
00:15:04.460 is in fact patriotic to oppose your government when they're doing the wrong thing. Not being
00:15:09.920 needlessly obtuse and saying anti-government things every time they do something that you
00:15:15.120 slightly don't like, but when they are clearly messing up, you should oppose them. You should
00:15:19.900 call it out. And in fact, you're just being a blind nationalist like Laura Babcock to pretend
00:15:26.040 that this is all, you know, good news or this is all great stuff simply because it's coming from
00:15:32.080 the Canadian government. People are literally getting poorer because of the actions of the
00:15:36.800 Liberal government in opposition or in response to the trade deal. Canadians are getting poorer
00:15:45.460 based on the Liberal strategy on this matter, and yet we're all supposed to just sit here and just
00:15:49.840 say nice things about them. Dean Allison also had a response here, and he said, Andrew Coyne thinks
00:15:55.100 Conservatives should fall in line with the Liberals and no longer criticize them for the
00:15:59.680 chaos and insanity they've created for more than a decade. Not going to happen, Andrew. We'll call
00:16:05.080 out mismanagement and incompetence at every turn. Voters have chosen to us to hold the government
00:16:10.160 to account, and that's exactly what we'll do as Canada's loyal opposition. By the way, do the
00:16:16.580 liberals, do these liberal commentators like that the Democrats criticize Donald Trump's tariffs in
00:16:22.400 the United States? Or do they think that based on their theory of nationalism, should the Democrats
00:16:27.980 be supporting president trump on all this stuff i don't like the tariffs and if i was in the u.s
00:16:33.020 i'd probably be a republican voter but i'd at the same time probably agree with the democrats the
00:16:37.980 tariffs are kind of ridiculous i've never been pro-trump tariff throughout this entire situation
00:16:44.460 but me not liking the tariffs does not then excuse the liberal government for being incompetent i'm 0.94
00:16:50.780 not just gonna sit around saying how bad of a guy donald trump is for putting tariffs on us
00:16:55.340 and ignore the fact that our team is incompetent in in opposing them as i keep saying claudia
00:17:02.220 scheinbaum mexican president doing a far better job advocating for her country than mark carney is
00:17:08.540 mark carney is like a broken vending machine donald trump keeps kicking him because every time he does
00:17:14.620 it he gets a free can of cola that is what is going on right now carney pretends to be tough
00:17:20.060 and Trump slaps him because every time he does it, he gets a free concession.
00:17:24.760 Based on game theory, you think he's going to stop just to be nice?
00:17:29.520 No, he is the leader of America.
00:17:31.840 Whether the tariff strategy is smart or not,
00:17:36.120 at least if you assume the tariff strategy is smart,
00:17:38.820 or at least that's baked into the cake,
00:17:41.080 moving forward, kicking at Canada to get a free concession from Mark Carney
00:17:44.640 ain't too bad of a deal.
00:17:46.740 Anyways, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching this video.
00:17:50.380 I will be back probably later this week, still covering the Gordie Howe Bridge situation.
00:17:55.120 But do not worry, I will be diversifying my coverage. 0.94
00:17:58.460 I should do more stuff from Alberta because, man, Nahid Nenshi said something just monumentally stupid recently about the trade situation. 0.95
00:18:07.480 Advocating that basically Alberta just cut off its nose to despite Donald Trump. 0.88
00:18:12.340 Let's just shut down our own oil and gas industry. 0.98
00:18:15.180 so that the Americans don't get our exports of oil and gas products.
00:18:19.740 It's like, okay, Nahid, baby, baby doll, what are you talking about? 0.57
00:18:27.400 Let's burn our own economy down because it will minorly hurt the United States. 0.71
00:18:32.900 Let's just lop off our own leg so that we get to give a sliver to the United States. 0.99
00:18:40.720 Let's burn down our own forests just to send smoke over the border to spite Donald Trump. 1.00
00:18:45.440 Like, that's how stupid that plan basically is. 1.00
00:18:48.800 Let's severely damage ourselves to slightly annoy the Americans. 1.00
00:18:53.540 Would that increase their gas prices, especially in the Midwest?
00:18:56.300 Sure.
00:18:57.560 It would also completely ruin our economy and send tons of our people into poverty without jobs.
00:19:04.960 Anyways, with that being said, thank you guys for watching.
