00:07:50Every deal we do make in terms of the concessions we give up for very little, if not nothing, in return, it never reduces the sectoral tariffs.
00:07:58Right now, what they're negotiating for is giving up, like, I don't like supply management, but you should be using supply management as a game piece to try and remove another one from the U.S. side.
00:08:09I'll get rid of all the supply management, but you have to get rid of all the steel tariffs.
00:08:14I will get rid of the DST and streaming tax, but you have to remove the softwood tariffs.
00:08:18That's how you do it. You horse trade. But we're not doing that at all. And every time we even get0.98
00:08:23close to maybe reducing the sectoral tariffs, we suddenly say, oh, it's not good enough. It's like
00:08:27not good enough. Maybe it isn't good enough. But for some reason, we thought it was good enough
00:08:31to give them 50% of the revenues for the Gordie Howe Bridge for nothing. Apparently that was good
00:08:37enough. So it's always contradictory the way that they talk tough and then they're not actually
00:08:41tough in real life. Both sides of the border. The Americans offered a new proposal on Tuesday,
00:08:46which would lower some of the sectoral tariffs, but not to the degree that the Canadian side would like to see.
00:08:53Canada U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc has been in Washington to meet the U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer three times in as many weeks.
00:09:02CBC previously reported that the two were aiming to present the president with a path to a potential deal as early as Monday.
00:09:10And that deadline has passed and now our chief negotiator says this.
00:09:13Sources told CBC News last week that the Canadian side has aggressively argued to the Americans that there would be no political appetite among Canadians to keep talks going if the August 19th tariffs come into place.
00:09:28But that's such a weak talking point now for the Canadian side.
00:09:32You know that people are going to be really ticked if you if you put in those places, those tariffs is like this is like such a last shriek on the retreat sort of a thing to do.
00:09:40We're not actually saying we're going to hit back hard.
00:09:42you know, that's a strategy. Again, there's no such thing exactly as a bad strategy. Although
00:09:48I'm about to contradict myself and say the strategy that Carney has been using is a bad
00:09:53strategy because it's not an actual coherent single strategy. It's like he takes every strategy,
00:09:59takes the worst aspects of all of them, and that's what he does. He talks tough and takes
00:10:04jabs at Trump and uses anti-American rhetoric. And then the next day he's talking about how we
00:10:08should all be friends and we need Fortress North America alongside Doug Ford. And then he's saying
00:10:13that we're going to retaliate with tariffs. Like here's a bunch of concessions for nothing. It's
00:10:16like, what are we doing here? I'm not, you can, you can take jabs at Trump. That's fine. You have
00:10:22to earn the right to take jabs at Trump, which means not absolutely falling to pieces every time
00:10:27he puts a little pressure on you and giving him something in return. Again, I don't think we need
00:10:31to, I don't hate Donald Trump. He's just the president of the United States. Many of his
00:10:36policies domestically i'd probably support i don't like the tariffs on canada i would i would
00:10:41probably if i was prime minister i'd play some rhetorical hardball with him i would maybe take
00:10:45some jabs at him in order to earn some respect but carney doesn't earn any respect he takes jabs
00:10:50and then he kind of runs away like a weasel if anything we have like no respect because he just
00:10:55sees us as like a bunch of like cry bullies or whatever i know we'll there'll be comments saying
00:11:00oh my goodness but trump's bullying us with the tariffs sure yes it's happened though now so what's
00:11:06mark carney going to do but uh i'll let him keep going here this that in addition to try and
00:11:11dissuade americans from levying the new tariffs leblanc and charette are looking for relief on
00:11:17tariffs that the u.s has slapped on canada steel aluminum lumber and autos so as it stands right
00:11:23now as i record no deal and no potential for a deal unless the americans show movement and lower
00:11:29those illegal sectoral tariffs that they have on us now on they're not illegal by the way
00:11:35if it's illegal you could enforce a law against the illegal activity there's nothing illegal about
00:11:41them steel aluminum forestry and autos and as i've said before my personal opinion is we're not going
00:11:47to make a deal here the americans are actually showing signs of doing the reverse rather than
00:11:53behaving like a country whose goal it is to have more trade they're behaving in the opposite way
00:11:58they are simply looking for ways to escalate and attack experts warn that the president may be
00:12:04driving wedges between provinces with threatened tariffs did he actually put an orange box over
00:12:10donald trump's head here is that because the canadian press doesn't do that is is he actually
00:12:15unable to look at a picture of donald trump without like having a meltdown or something like
00:12:20that but i like how he immediately says it's my opinion that we're not going to get a deal
00:12:23okay so you lied to your audience oh breaking canada has rejected a u.s trade deal no they
00:12:29didn't not at all and as we're going to get to the photo where he used dominic leblanc's image
00:12:34for a thumbnail that's from an that's from an article where it admits that we're still negotiating
00:12:38when looked at carefully it turns up those tariffs that they're threatening on imposing
00:12:42on august 19th are selected in a very sinister way tom bay an expert found that 13.7 percent of bc
00:12:50do you call him tom bay that's from trevor toome i know because he was look tom bay tom bay t-o-m-b-e
00:12:59tom bay it's trevor toom i know that because he was my he was my overseeing professor for my
00:13:05research project for my master's degree like tom tom bay what the heck are we talking about he
00:13:12couldn't even figure out the names of the people he was talking about he's getting this from the
00:13:16globe and mail which has an ai reader for you if you want the names actually explained for you
00:13:21like i know i'm not the best at pronouncing french names but toom is not exactly a crazy name to be
00:13:27to pronounce here and the thing he's like so oh that's these these tariffs are sinister
00:13:32it's almost like the americans know how to put pressure on us they know how to put pressure on
00:13:37us so we'll give up something in return which is why right now carney is basically trying to tell
00:13:40all the premiers can you please be willing to put the booze ban on the table so that we can trade
00:13:45that for something that's going to create a big that's going to create a massive kerfuffle among
00:13:51all of the premiers, because so many of them, their political careers right now are kind of
00:13:57based on their booze bans of being tough against the Americans. David Eby, Wob Canoe, the premier
00:14:03of Quebec, Doug Ford, they don't really want to do it. And especially they don't want to do it
00:14:07because it doesn't look like Carney even has much coming back. If we reduce sectoral tariffs by like
00:14:1310%, we've given up a lot to not get much in return. And what other things can we offer at
00:14:18this point that's the problem when you make concessions for nothing you have taken cards
00:14:23out of your hand and burned them and now you're playing with a smaller hand and you haven't gotten
00:14:27anything from the other side yet that's what makes this so maddening to watch it's not because
00:14:32you can actually use an elbows up approach it's an approach but he's not even doing elbows up he's
00:14:37not going aggressive and acting like i'm crazy i'll quadruple my tariffs on you in response
00:14:42if you don't give me what i want he kind of talks a little bit that way sometimes oh we'll retaliate
00:14:48dollar for dollar. We're going to create a middle powers trading partnership. We're going to go off
00:14:53with China. And then he just gives Trump things anyways. It's like Trump doesn't respect this guy
00:14:57because Carney doesn't seem to respect himself, honestly. He doesn't seem to actually really want
00:15:03to win here. But let's hear him talk about Trevor Tombe here. In a very sinister way, Tombe, an
00:15:10expert, found that 13.7% of BC exports to the US would be hit by the new tariffs, while roughly
00:15:17one percent of exports from Saskatchewan and Alberta would be affected. Quebec would see
00:15:2210.8 percent of its exports to the United States affected, while nine percent of Ontario's exports
00:15:28would be affected. The Americans are carefully pitting provinces that are staunchly opposed to
00:15:33their administration to provinces that are more sympathetic to their administration.
00:15:39No, it's because the Americans know the thing that would hurt them the most would be natural
00:15:45resources being tariffed hard, things that absolutely are big pressure points for midterm
00:15:50voters. Potash and oil and gas from Alberta and Saskatchewan are a big deal. And it's also harder,
00:15:56the thing is that BC and Quebec and Ontario are big manufacturing centers. They have tons of
00:16:01different products that could potentially be tariffed. Whereas Alberta and Saskatchewan,
00:16:07we mostly, it's raw resources. And unless Trump wants to specifically tariff those raw resources,
00:16:12we pretty much escape most of the tariffs but he's at but he's trying to push this cool like
00:16:17anti-Daniel Smith anti-Scott Moe thing that if Canada side loses even though he says we're
00:16:23winning the tariff war because we're subsidizing our economy and apparently that's a big win0.96
00:16:27if we lose really it's those dirty Alberta Albertans and dirty Saskatchewans those are0.88
00:16:33the people who who knifed us in the back like okay man I guess we did because we were smart0.95
00:16:39enough to have our premiers, like, you know, make the case that you can't actually tariff our
00:16:43resources, or you're going to be in big trouble with your own voters when gas prices jump up over
00:16:47the border in the Midwest. Like, Alberta, Saskatchewan have been playing their cards right.
00:16:52The rest of Canada has not been. The booze ban doesn't even affect very many people in the
00:16:57United States. That's why it was so stupid. It's symbolic, but doesn't even cause enough pain1.00
00:17:02to be enough of an irritant to, like, get you a big thing in return. And now we're trying to
00:17:08sacrifice the booze ban in these other provinces for even less than we should probably be getting
00:17:13for getting rid of it. The extreme that does lend itself to a divide and conquer strategy with
00:17:18Canadians really have to be aware of. And the reason for this is obvious because the exports
00:17:22that come from Alberta and Saskatchewan are things that the Americans desperately need and can't do
00:17:29without, namely oil, gas and potash. Those three things are our leverage. And they're targeting
00:17:36the tariffs in this way because they know that the leaders of those two provinces have already
00:17:42caved on the booze ban and they've already made they haven't caved on the booze ban you can't
00:17:47you can't ban u.s booze in provinces that have private markets this guy doesn't know anything
00:17:55like klaus is acting like they're somehow caving to him or they're somehow more friendly to trump0.98
00:18:00the thing is that it's not only that trump's not dumb enough to cut oil and gas and potash off0.75
00:18:05from the United States, because those would just create every price to go up in the United States,0.85
00:18:09everything would just increase in price, if you lower the amount of Alberta oil and gas coming
00:18:14into your economy, or the amount of Saskatchewan potash. But also, you can't use that as leverage,
00:18:21you can't unless you have a giant oil reserve, you have the ability to actually store oil safely,
00:18:27you can't just cut them off, and then just be storing it away from them and saying, well,
00:18:32if you actually, if you actually finally sign a deal, we'll start sending the oil over the border.
00:18:38Paliyev has said that over the last year, you actually could have maybe started a mineral
00:18:42and oil and gas reserve and made it so that you actually have the ability to use it as leverage.
00:18:47But Carney hasn't done that. You can't just turn the taps off of an oil and gas industry.
00:18:52In fact, ruins the oil and gas into the structure. You know, Iran just lets its oil and gas just pool,0.94
00:18:58basically all the gas they just have to like basically just let it pool into the ground
00:19:02because you can't just turn off the taps without basically destroying the infrastructure that
00:19:07feeds it up it's like i'm not an expert on this but that's what everyone who knows about it has
00:19:12said you can either store it or if you turn it off it's basically going to be need massive
00:19:17repairs to get it back on you can maybe turn it off for a few weeks at a time at most and then
00:19:22you have to let it flow for a while again but this guy thinks that it's like it taking booze
00:19:27taking oil and gas off the table for the Americans is like taking Jack Daniels. I was going to say
00:19:36Daniel. Daniel Smith's name is messing with me. But you can't just take oil and gas off the
00:19:41shelves the way you do with Jack Daniels or bourbon from Kentucky. That's not how it works.
00:19:46Statements publicly saying that we, under no circumstances, should use oil, gas, and potash
00:19:52as leverage. And the Americans are using that. As I predicted months ago, when Saskatchewan and
00:19:58Alberta caved on the booze ban. They didn't cave on it. We never had it because it's a private
00:20:03market. Mark Carney has said he's not going to use potash on oil and gas as leverage because you
00:20:09literally physically can't use them as leverage. It would do more damage to us to do it than to
00:20:14them. It's a stupid idea. But he's not going to blame Prime Minister Mark Carney for not using1.00
00:20:19it he can't use it because it's unrealistic but he is going to attack daniel smith they deviated
00:20:25from a team canada approach and they showed their cards to the americans they basically said hey
00:20:30don't worry about us we won't retaliate you can count on alberta and saskatchewan and that's
00:20:35exactly what the americans are doing now they're trying to divide and conquer now our chief trade
00:20:40negotiator is not giving up dominant remember remember this photo guys this was from the
00:20:46thumbnail where he where he said that canada has rejected a u.s trade deal that is the same photo
00:20:51of dominic leblanc so he found this article and used the photo screenshotted the photo for his
00:20:57low quality thumbnail and it was from an article that says leblanc meets with grier this afternoon
00:21:02in washington as tariff deadlines near so he said we have rejected the u.s deal and he got the photo
00:21:09of dominic leblanc to back up that claim in his thumbnail from an article that says dominic leblanc
00:21:14and Jameis and Greer are talking. What are we talking about here? And again, Mark Carney,
00:21:20why did they just take this just for granted? Like he can go on vacation to Italy and that's
00:21:25totally fine. That's not undermining Canada's position to just have our leader not even
00:21:29involved in the talks off in vacation in another continent. Isn't that a bit of a red flag that
00:21:35we're not actually serious about getting something here? That Carney is embarrassed by how things
00:21:40are going and wants to actually physically distance himself from the situation. That's what I think
00:21:45he's doing. Maybe he just had the pre-scheduled vacation and he's just not smart enough to realize
00:21:50he shouldn't take it right now. Maybe I think it's because he wants to be able to throw Dominic
00:21:55LeBlanc and Charette under the bus as a top negotiator, Janet Charette. He wants to be able
00:22:00to throw them under the bus when this doesn't go very well. Dominic LeBlanc meets with Greer this
00:22:05afternoon in Washington as the tariff deadline nears. But even as our talks are continuing,
00:22:10the Americans are already looking for new ways to escalate their tariff war. White House claims
00:22:16over 40 U.S. trading partners are helping China evade tariffs by acting as middlemen. The Americans
00:22:23have already used the excuse of a ridiculous investigation they held, where they found that
00:22:27most of the world was using slave labor as an excuse to escalate their tariff attacks.
00:22:33That's not an excuse exactly. It's actually somewhat real, which is why it kind of spooked the Kearney government, because we do trade a lot with China, who uses slave labor, and we're not too particular with checking and investigating if the line of production has Uyghur Muslim slaves involved in it, or other Chinese workers who effectively work as indentured servants of the state and its corporate allies.
00:22:59it is a socialist economy that basically uses a fake front of capitalism to seem like it's a
00:23:06normal business environment. We had a liberal MP, a conservative who actually crossed the floor and
00:23:11became a liberal, Michael Ma, even taking shots at an expert in the field of basically the state
00:23:19of China, the Chinese Communist Party, who was testifying about slave labor in China. Michael
00:23:25Mao went after her and attacked her for saying, have you ever actually seen these Uyghur Muslims?
00:23:30Have you ever actually seen the slave labor in those provinces of China? And it's like,
00:23:36because he's trying to make excuses for China, because the Liberal Party is very interested
00:23:40in trying to shut down any skepticism of their new China trade strategy. That is what they are
00:23:46doing. They want to justify why Carney went from saying their biggest national security threat
00:23:51to now we must partner with them, not just on trading more, but on security and culture as
00:23:57well. Klaus Kellerman is never going to be skeptical of that at all. Do you know what's
00:24:01funny about him? I looked into him. Do you know in the 2021 election, he didn't like Aaron O'Toole,
00:24:07the conservative leader? Is it because he was too conservative? He's too right wing? No, he said he
00:24:11was too much of like a socialist like the liberals. And he was actually much more of a PPC guy. I
00:24:16think this guy just quartered the market on a certain type of political slop content. And now
00:24:22he's just serving it to the people who will watch it. And I also am sort of skeptical that this guy
00:24:27is heavily boosted by some sort of progressive or liberal allied organization. In fact, I wonder if
00:24:34the government is even paying this guy as an influencer because during the 2025 election,
00:24:40when there were tons of views on political content, lots of people are watching the race,
00:24:45People are very interested. This guy was scratching like two to three thousand views in a video. And the video quality was basically the same as it is now. He had a couple like 10,000 view videos, like a 20,000 view video, but they were outliers.
00:24:59After the election, about a week or two later, 60,000, 70,000, 200,000, 300,000, 150,000, 90,000, every video, didn't matter if it was on the most boring subject imaginable, just glossing Mark Carney for, you know, procuring jets from like a German company or whatever it was, or Swedish company.
00:25:18like the most boring videos ever had like 200,000 views, which makes me wonder who is
00:25:24incentivizing these videos to be heavily trafficked. Despite the fact that he lies in every video,
00:25:29he clearly has no grasp on the subjects in his video, again, talking about the subsidies that
00:25:35the liberals are handing out. And that means somehow Canada's winning the trade war. He called
00:25:38green growing like fruits, fruits and vegetables and greenhouses, indoor food growing. We are
00:25:45subsidizing indoor food growing this is super super innovative or whatever he clearly doesn't
00:25:50know what he's talking about lies to his own audience oftentimes it's just covering boring
00:25:55liberal slop achievements that don't mean anything it's getting crazy views and i think that this is
00:26:01probably some sort of a marketing campaign from the liberal government in order to keep liberals
00:26:07in the bubble because most people who watch television are watching liberal content what
00:26:12happens if they escape the reservation and they're watching content on youtube well we need people
00:26:17like charlie angus and laura babcock and klaus kellerman and some of these other people to keep
00:26:21them in the bubble even if they're on the internet where they should be able to get much better
00:26:25information on how things like trade talks are going on people like sean chen resigning from0.97
00:26:30office who seems like he's probably a ccp plant suddenly leaving because of like you know injuries
00:26:36from a year ago from a car accident yet the guy has been going to beijing like every five minutes0.90
00:26:42and other areas of China to go eat frozen yogurt and talk about how great the Canada-China
