Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Well, in the waning days of Canada's federal election,
00:00:06.260
Mark Carney and the Liberal Party, sensing that the Conservatives and Polyev have the momentum
00:00:11.360
to win, are trying to artificially resurrect the issue of Donald Trump and his 51st state rhetoric
00:00:18.320
a few days before the vote, and they were caught lying about the whole thing. So, a few weeks ago,
00:00:24.820
Carney was talking about his call with President Donald Trump, and he said that he was actually
00:00:30.020
very respectful of Canada's sovereignty, but then, now, a few weeks later, before the election,
00:00:36.380
suddenly Carney was saying that Trump was very disrespectful, and he was bringing it up all the
00:00:40.260
time, and the media has caught him within the contradiction. So, I want to go over this story
00:00:45.660
because I think it actually does say a lot about the position of the parties right now, and before
00:00:50.280
I do that, I want to remind you guys, if you've been liking my federal election coverage, make sure
00:00:55.620
to leave a like on this video, subscribe to the channel, and leave a comment on the topic of the
00:01:00.840
day. So, Brittany here has posted the clip on X. You guys should actually go give her a follow. I'll
00:01:06.960
have this post linked down in the description below, but she says, Carney claimed President Trump showed
00:01:12.820
respect for Canada's sovereignty during their call, but that's not what happened, not even close.
00:01:17.420
The funny thing is, Brittany is seeing one of the contradictions, but later, there is a double
00:01:23.720
contradiction that is going to take place, both with the media going along with Carney's talking
00:01:29.500
points, as well as other media seeing that he's actually lying on two different fronts. So, look
00:01:35.700
at this clip right here first. The President respected Canada's sovereignty today, both in his private
00:01:41.140
and public comments. Sources are telling Radio Canada that Trump talked to Carney about Canada
00:01:46.320
becoming the 51st state. That is something we did not hear from the Prime Minister's office
00:01:51.440
after Trump and Carney spoke on March 28th. The President respected Canada's sovereignty today,
00:01:57.040
both in his private and public comments. So, what is it? Is he cowardly and Trump did bring it up,
00:02:03.480
but he just didn't want to mention it, which means he's a complete pushover, and if you are voting
00:02:08.360
because you want someone who stands up to Donald Trump, Mark Carney is not your man, or did it not
00:02:13.820
come up? Did it actually not come up? Mark Carney said it didn't come up because that was the truth
00:02:19.480
a few weeks ago, but now that he needs to win the election, suddenly it actually did come up. So,
00:02:25.600
now I need to move over to another clip that I will also be linking in the description below,
00:02:31.440
as well as pinned in the comments, and it's now Carney being caught by the media saying one thing
00:02:38.460
and then saying another thing on another day, claiming that, you know, well, he didn't bring
00:02:43.000
it up. He was actually respectful of our sovereignty. And then he's saying, no, no, he wasn't respectful
00:02:48.000
of our sovereignty, and sources say that it did come up on the phone call. So, what is it? What is it, Mark?
00:02:54.940
March 28th, did President Trump bring up the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state during that call
00:03:01.720
with you? You can even see him, like, looking upward in the fashion that someone usually does
00:03:08.180
when they're trying to think of something quick on the spot to say. I don't want to read too much
00:03:11.920
into the body language, but he always seems uncomfortable whenever he's given tough questions.
00:03:18.580
As I just said, the president brings this up all the time. He brought it up yesterday,
00:03:23.680
he's brought it up before. There's a difference between the conversation that was held between
00:03:29.760
leaders of government, which was this conversation, and a discussion that led directly to
00:03:37.600
an agreement that as sovereign countries, we would have negotiations about our partnership
00:03:45.700
following the election on Monday. I don't even know what he's trying to get at here.
00:03:52.120
So, when the contradiction is pointed out, that you said back in March that he didn't bring it up,
00:03:58.640
and now you're saying he did bring it up, that you're saying, well, there's a difference between
00:04:02.180
a call between two leaders and a discussion. Sorry, did it come up or not? Or did it come up
00:04:08.300
casually and it didn't count back then, but now that you need the votes, it actually did count as
00:04:12.440
something he said? Or did he not mention it at all? You were originally telling the truth when you
00:04:16.580
were way up in the polls, and now that everything's tightened up a lot, maybe Trump did mention it.
00:04:20.640
That's what the president and I agreed. That's what both of us reported back.
00:04:28.420
And that's what I'm ready to do. And what's at stake in this election is how well we come together as a
00:04:39.560
country for those difficult discussions with the Americans. And to be clear, you know,
00:04:48.180
He has not been clear at all yet. He is just filibustering.
00:04:51.640
I have said well before that call and virtually every time that I've spoken since that call
00:05:01.460
that President Trump, the Americans, want to break us so they can own us.
00:05:08.420
Then why didn't you mention that it came up in the call if it now suddenly was part of the call,
00:05:14.280
but it wasn't back then. All this doesn't matter. Yes, we understand that he brings up the 51st state
00:05:18.880
stuff a lot. But the whole point is that now he needs to insert Donald Trump directly as a character
00:05:24.440
into this controversy and saying, well, last time we called, he wanted us to be part of the 51st state
00:05:30.720
when before, again, he hadn't said that. And now he's just kind of talking in vague generalities
00:05:37.000
where, oh, I've said they want to break us. Okay, you saying you characterizing what you think
00:05:42.140
they're doing does not make up for the why. Those aren't just words. That's what's at risk.
00:05:50.060
That's why we have to build Canada strong. That's why we have to go hard. That's why we have to
00:05:54.940
negotiate properly. That's not why we have to build outside options. That's why we have the plan that we do.
00:06:00.280
That was such a, his like, these aren't just words. It's such a, look at me. I have my serious
00:06:08.880
face on, guys. I totally didn't lie because Canada strong or something like that. It's so sad. It's so
00:06:16.280
hollow. I asked you about this on March 28th after the call, and you said that President Trump respected
00:06:22.760
Canada's sovereignty both privately and in his public conversations. He did. Were you being truthful?
00:06:27.840
He absolutely did. He absolutely did. Look, the president has. Well, who were, where are the
00:06:33.040
sources coming from saying that he wasn't? Certain things in his mind that he reverts back to all the
00:06:40.320
time, but treated me as the prime minister, not as something else. I'm not even going to say the word
00:06:45.980
he used to use about my predecessor. Treated me as the prime minister. We had discussions as sovereign
00:06:52.740
nations. We agreed as sovereign nations that these negotiations will begin after the election on
00:06:59.260
Monday, and that is how it was reported back, and that's absolutely accurate. So that's the
00:07:05.020
treatment. Now, look, the president says lots of things. But your sources said a lot of things about
00:07:10.140
that call, too, and obviously the sources would have had to come from the prime minister's office.
00:07:14.900
It wasn't some random guy saying that Trump brought it up. It would have been someone familiar with the
00:07:19.340
call saying it just this last few days that he had brought it up in that call when you had said on
00:07:24.940
March 28th it didn't. But the essence of the discussion and where we moved the conversation
00:07:30.220
to was exactly what I said. Treated us with respect as a sovereign nation. We have these negotiations
00:07:37.960
coming, and that's, just to be clear, that is what's at stake. Both things are true. The desire
00:07:45.060
desire of the Americans and the president to own us, those aren't just words. That's a desire.
00:07:55.380
And so, but he didn't say it, though. So it's not even, not just words. The words were never even
00:08:00.240
spoken, so you're reading it to subtext that isn't there. The ability of Canada to stand strong,
00:08:06.940
build our own, control our destiny. And in that context, as a sovereign nation, have those
00:08:14.920
discussions. He's just legitimately so bad at this. So yeah, he lied, and his staff lied,
00:08:21.280
and he's still fear-mongering about the United States. At the same time, his own words back in
00:08:26.660
March said, oh yeah, they're not actually, you know, looking to make us the 51st state. When I
00:08:31.140
talk to him, he doesn't really bring it up, which should tell you it was a negotiating tactic from
00:08:35.080
Trump back in, like, from the start in November. He was just mentioning it to throw Canadian diplomats
00:08:41.220
into a tizzy, so then he can maybe try and push us on certain things that he wants, while the Canadian
00:08:46.500
diplomats and our trade negotiators are too busy talking about the 51st state thing first,
00:08:52.880
instead of putting together a real border and trade plan, which, like we should have been doing,
00:08:58.260
and we had not done, and I don't think we still have done it. Here's a great point from YouTuber
00:09:04.400
J.J. McCullough here. He points out that, again, yeah, this is all just a tactic to drive these
00:09:09.840
stories back to the top of the headlines. He says, in the last 24 hours, the CBC published two breaking
00:09:15.940
news headlines seeking to revive the Trump is coming for us issue. Neither story tells us anything we
00:09:21.720
didn't already know, but they're clearly changing the topic of the campaign to what Carney prefers to
00:09:26.620
talk about, and he has little headlines here. Trump inserts himself into Canadian politics, saying
00:09:31.440
as a state, it works great. Carney says Trump raised 51st state during their call, but the president says
00:09:39.020
a lot of things, so yeah, he did claim it. His staff did claim it, but then when confronted, he says,
00:09:44.600
I never claimed it, and he was respectful of our sovereignty, but I looked at the twinkle in his eye
00:09:52.220
on the phone, and he had said to me with that twinkle, I'm coming for you, and people better vote
00:09:58.300
liberal, or you are going to become the 51st state. It's so pathetic. It's so pathetic. They don't have
00:10:03.680
any closing argument. The liberals are basically just saying, vote for us, or else, you know, or else
00:10:10.400
Trump is going to do something, even though we keep saying that he's actually been pretty respectful of
00:10:15.960
us once we actually started engaging. It's so dumb. It's just so dumb. The liberals have mostly,
00:10:23.460
and like I said in a previous video, just gotten, just devolved into petty personal attacks on Peter
00:10:29.680
Polly and the conservatives. It's all shallow. It's all, they're going to cut your CPP. They're
00:10:34.620
going to slash everything you love in this world. They're going to push your mother down the stairs
00:10:38.140
with no evidence, and then the conservatives are going after the liberals and Carney for their record,
00:10:43.800
for the actual positions they take in a good faith manner. Obviously, everyone hyperbolizes what
00:10:49.620
their opponents are going to do a bit, obviously, but the conservatives have mostly been in the realms
00:10:54.780
of reality in terms of their criticisms of what the liberals have done and what they are going to do,
00:10:59.900
whereas with the liberals on the conservatives and the NDP on the conservatives, it's the most
00:11:04.180
nonsensical stuff ever, that the conservatives are going to use the notwithstanding clause
00:11:09.460
to not just ban abortion. They're going to ban health care in general because they're big,
00:11:14.660
nasty people. It's just sad, and again, the polling shows that this election is tight. The
00:11:22.380
conservatives are leading by some metrics. The liberals are leading by some metrics. The metric
00:11:26.380
I actually find that's interesting is the one I mentioned before. It's, or maybe I didn't mention
00:11:30.740
this video, but Juno News and Abacus Data, Juno was the one who originated it. When you poll people of
00:11:37.340
who's your neighbor going to vote for? The conservatives are either leading 40 to 38, or in Abacus Data's
00:11:44.080
part, on their part. The conservatives are leading 44% to 40%. That is a wide margin, and what Abacus
00:11:53.620
Data may have picked up on, and Juno as well, obviously, is a shy conservative voter. Usually,
00:11:59.780
the pollsters underestimate the conservatives by, you know, one to four points in the election.
00:12:04.780
Sometimes it's even as high as five or six with some of the really bad pollsters, and right now,
00:12:10.180
we are in a space where it is considered almost treasonous to be voting conservative based on the
00:12:15.500
opinions of some people in the legacy media, and that rubs off onto the average person. The average
00:12:20.600
person is not sophisticated when it comes to how pollsters get their data and all the anonymity kind
00:12:28.280
of, like, rules around it to make sure that you're protecting people's identities. People don't have to
00:12:33.500
read all the rules and regulations around polling before they take a poll, so you're going to get a lot of
00:12:37.480
people who, when they hear it's a pollster and they're voting conservative, they don't want to
00:12:40.580
admit they're voting conservative because apparently that's bad, and they hang up the phone, or maybe
00:12:44.600
they even tell the pollster, I'm voting liberal, which is part of a response bias. A response bias
00:12:49.680
is partially who picks up the phone, so if liberals are excited, they'll pick up the phone more, and it's
00:12:54.160
also those who will respond in ways they think the pollster wants them to respond, because frankly,
00:12:59.620
people can be weird, and they can assume things that really aren't there, like, well, if I say
00:13:04.700
conservative on the phone, maybe that gets out, maybe that's going to hurt me in the view of my
00:13:09.920
neighbors who are extremely liberal. It's not how it works, and I think the neighbor polling is
00:13:14.420
actually very interesting that we see that people who are voting liberal even admit at higher rates
00:13:19.820
than conservatives that their neighbors are voting conservative. But anyways, so that should be it for
00:13:24.560
