00:02:04.180Now, the clip was cut off when you actually start explaining where it's coming from because the details don't make it look very good.
00:02:11.160Now, is the economy expanding in the second quarter?
00:02:13.720Yes. I was even predicting the economy would expand in the second quarter.
00:02:17.680In April, the GDP growth was about 0.5%.
00:02:21.480In May, it was predicted it was going to be slower.
00:02:24.520Maybe that's going to be revised a little higher.
00:02:26.900And then June could be pretty decent with maybe, you know, another half a point, maybe
00:02:32.020higher growth that would result in a combined 2.5% growth in the second quarter of 2026.
00:02:38.580Problem is, it's not because we're more productive.
00:02:42.020Well, the province of Alberta is, but Canada overall is not.
00:02:45.360it's a combination of higher productivity in a very specific place in Canada, as well as higher
00:02:52.300resource prices. Yes, the resource prices are mostly benefiting the productivity of Alberta
00:02:58.620as a province, but also Alberta, with better regulations and taxes than the rest of the
00:03:03.840country, is attracting a lot of the jobs. Many jobs, leaving Ontario, leaving British Columbia,
00:03:09.720are not just going to the United States, they're going to Alberta. Anyways, in just a second,
00:03:15.980I want to show you just how big the sort of portion of new jobs coming out of Alberta is
00:03:23.320as a portion of the entire Canadian economy. It's absolutely embarrassing. But before I do that,
00:03:27.920I do just quickly want to let you guys know, speaking of Alberta, if you live in the Alberta
00:03:34.100provincial riding of Calgary Curry right here on the map in red. I am exploring an opportunity to
00:03:40.880run there as the UCP nominee for Calgary Curry. So if you live in that riding, sign up on my website
00:03:47.740at the link pinned to the top of the comments below, wyattclaypool.com. If you want to be on
00:03:53.520the list, I'll give you a call or an email letting you know about what's going on with that nomination,
00:03:57.920if I'm going to run or not, and how you can be able to get a membership if you want to support
00:04:02.400me for that nomination. It is currently held by an NDP MLA Janet Aramanco, who is a massive leftist
00:04:10.200activist, was a big supporter of injection sites before she got into politics, opposes charter
00:04:15.520schools, opposes coal mining, basically opposes everything good in this world, and is running for
00:04:20.900the party led by Nahid Nenshi, who completely destroyed the water infrastructure of Calgary.
00:04:25.640So there's a ringing endorsement of her. And if you want to help me get rid of her, if you live in
00:04:29.740those red riding boundaries. See if you can go get a membership and sign up on my website.
00:04:35.220Anyways, now we will be getting into the Juneau News article that lays out some of the numbers
00:04:40.940here. Right here from Juneau News from Quinn Patrick, it says Alberta responsible for nearly
00:04:46.66080% of all new jobs in Canada. This is measuring it over the past year, basically since Prime
00:04:54.000Minister Mark Carney became Prime Minister. 80%, nearly 80% of all of the jobs created were coming
00:05:01.360from the province of Alberta, which, as you may know, is not the biggest province, is not the
00:05:07.060second biggest province, is not the third biggest province. It is the fourth biggest province in the
00:05:12.040country, and it is driving economic growth, not a plurality of it, the vast majority of it. Let's
00:05:19.280read a little bit of this, but I'll also be linking this article at the top of the comments
00:05:23.720below if you want to read the whole thing. Quinn Patrick here writes, Alberta accounted for nearly
00:05:29.26080% of all jobs created across Canada over the last year, despite being home to only 12% of the
00:05:35.140country's total population. According to Statistics Canada, Canada's latest jobs report, the province
00:05:40.740has added 78,500 jobs in the past 12 months. That accounts for the overwhelming majority of the
00:05:48.16099,000 total that was added across Canada. Now, mind you, that is the net addition. Obviously,
00:05:55.720other jobs were created elsewhere. But in terms of the net jobs created, taking away the jobs that
00:06:02.560were lost in each province and balancing it out, that is also kind of pathetic for Mark Carney.
00:06:07.900The only reason his economy is above water is because of Alberta. He actually got to start
00:06:14.140in a really good place if you're the prime minister if you become prime minister especially
00:06:19.040taking over for somebody very unpopular you want to start in a hole because then you look really
00:06:25.160good simply climbing out of the hole since we were in the hole we have only net gained around
00:06:31.44099,000 jobs or so whatever that number was right there uh yeah 99,000 jobs since he became prime
00:06:38.000minister when we were in a hole when it was easier than ever to add jobs because we were simply just
00:06:43.140recovering the jobs that we used to have. Why do people like this guy? Oh, because, you know,
00:06:49.840he's not a conservative. Oh, yes, I remember. But Quinn Patrick goes on to say the labor force
00:06:54.500survey also noted that the vast majority of those jobs were in the private sector. Only 17,500 of
00:07:00.320the province's 78,500 additional jobs were for public sector positions. And a lot of that is
00:07:06.480going to be teachers since Danielle Smith had promised several thousand more teachers and
00:07:10.780teachers' assistance for the Alberta education system in her negotiations with the Alberta
00:07:15.980Teachers Association. The article then goes on to say, there were 2,677,300 people employed in
00:07:23.880Alberta as of last month, up 3% from last year, while total unemployment across Canada grew by
00:07:30.340only 0.5%. Meanwhile, Quebec and British Columbia shed a combined total of 67,000 jobs over the
00:07:39.260same period. Ontario saw an uptick of roughly 65,000 new hires, but that marked a modest gain
00:07:46.060of less than 1% of Canada's most populated province. The majority of jobs lost, however,
00:07:52.780were in the labour sector as the province's construction industry remains stagnant at best.
00:07:58.100A large reason for Alberta's success is tied to its growing population, as many Canadians have
00:08:02.460decided to move there in recent years. Calgary has repeatedly been Canada's fastest-growing city,
00:08:07.120And it's not just simply population has moved here, ergo Alberta is doing better.
00:08:11.780We are creating jobs because there's jobs that exist here.
00:08:14.480People are leaving the other provinces because jobs don't exist there.
00:08:18.420Or at least the jobs that are there are not worth taking because of the extremely high cost of living in places like Quebec and British Columbia.
00:08:27.740It shows if you just massively cut taxes, good things will happen.
00:08:32.120Alberta, only province in the entire country with no sales tax. Other provinces should think about
00:08:39.240it. At least take a few points off your PSTs and see what happens, or your HST or whatever some of
00:08:45.620the provinces have. I'm just thinking of BC. If you do it, you may see some benefits here.
00:08:50.900But after reading that, let's go back to some liberal shills on the internet because we need
00:08:56.060to talk about all these people who are still just coping. They are coping by attacking the
00:09:02.860conservatives. Here, look at this one. This is from GatorGum, one of my favorite liberal posters
00:09:10.140on the internet. They say here, imagine typing something like, quote, Candace Brogan, destroyed,
00:09:16.400it's over, it can't be fixed, and there's no turning back. Then logging off and going about
00:09:21.060your regular day and enjoying life living in one of the greatest places on earth they they post
00:09:26.760this s because they hate the government and for clicks and engagement and then continue to live
00:09:31.480in canada because they know there isn't a better place for them if there was if there was they'd
00:09:37.260go there truly if you thought that it was bad that it was that bad a great place was available
00:09:42.600for your family you'd go no hesitation none but they know the truth um one i have never really
00:09:49.160seen anyone say something that hyperbolic that canada's broken destroyed it's over and it can't
00:09:54.520be fixed and there's no turning back some people who are like alberta separatists will sometimes
00:09:59.180speak in that very hyperbolic language but not not that many overall um challenge accepted
00:10:05.580according to tons and tons of canadians tens of thousands of canadians every year
00:10:10.480leave the country mostly to go to the united states i'm sorry it does cost a lot to move
00:10:16.600There are people in Canada too broke to move. But this seems to be a constant refrain of the
00:10:23.500liberal shills on the internet. The whole idea that, well, if you don't like Canada, why don't
00:10:28.260you just leave? I'm sorry, didn't any of these people move out of the country when Stephen Harper
00:10:34.820was prime minister, when they were complaining about him? Well, no, not really. The rates of
00:10:39.020people leaving Canada were extremely, extremely low around Stephen Harper. And yet they complained
00:10:44.640about him the entire time when by their own standards they should have just shut up because
00:10:49.880everything was fantastic except they acted like it was some right-wing hellhole while Stephen
00:10:54.440Harper was around when everything was objectively far better than it currently is I got to go to
00:11:00.500another GatorGum post because I really like this guy all their stuff is just really obnoxious
00:11:07.080so I made this post yesterday promoting the last video I had made and I said Mark Carney and the
00:11:13.380liberals keep getting humiliated by Donald Trump in exchange for nothing, nothing. And yet liberal
00:11:19.020shills will still claim things would be worse if Pierre Polyev was prime minister. You will be
00:11:24.480shocked to hear that I agree with myself. And that is true. He keeps making concessions and we look
00:11:29.780stupid in front of the Americans. And right on time, a liberal shill gator gum swung by to quote0.99
00:11:35.500tweet me to try and dunk on me. And they said, ask yourself why literally none of the right-wing
00:11:40.980influencers have once commented on how Trump reneged and didn't honor the deal. Not once have
00:11:46.840they called out the foreign leader trying to cheat Canada. Not once have they called him out for
00:11:51.480trying to harm Canada. Ask yourself, why do they worship this grifting liar? Okay, apparently they0.98
00:11:59.860don't watch the show, although they comment on a lot of what I do. I do say I don't like what Trump
00:12:04.720did. The play that he made on the Gordie Howe bridge was ridiculous. It was silly. It was bad0.98
00:12:11.080faith. Panda paid for the whole bridge. Now he wants a revenue sharing agreement. And Mark Carney
00:12:15.620gave it to him. All these people are in denial about it. And we're going to get to that in a
00:12:18.780little bit here of Francois-Philippe Champagne, Canada's finance minister, lying about what the
00:12:23.600deal says. But I've said all these things. I don't like what Donald Trump did. But guess what?
00:12:29.160But sitting around saying, I don't like what Donald Trump did, surprisingly, doesn't change anything.
00:12:35.320You can keep just like in a trance state, keep saying, I don't like what Donald Trump did.
00:13:24.080I have a healthy respect for who Donald Trump is and is a man.
00:13:27.660And he does not respect Mark Carney. And I even said that yesterday. And there's all these people coming out there and saying, well, he's too difficult to deal with. Mark Carney is just doing what the only thing he can do, which is sitting around and waiting.
00:13:40.900Claudia Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico, seems to have no problem with it.
00:13:45.920There's lots of other world leaders who are getting deals. Oh, but Trump sometimes reneges on elements of the deal and then they change it last minute.
00:23:00.360Mark Carney can say it's profit sharing.
00:23:02.100And if I say even by his own description, it isn't profit sharing. A liberal shill, a liberal hack, somebody who needs a new hobby can show up and say, well, you haven't read it, Wyatt. So how do you know Mark Carney's lying? Because he won't show me the document. And I already know what he said. And what he said does not line up with the definition of profit sharing.
00:23:24.640It's like when we started arguing about technical recession versus a full recession. It's a recession. Profit sharing has a definition. Sharing the profit. If you are still in the hole, you have not made profit yet.
00:23:39.680but maybe this is just like the government definition of profit if money is simply coming
00:23:44.680through the door it doesn't matter how much money you burn as you're basically okay as long as money
00:23:52.320is coming through the door sorry if there's a little internet hiccup there sometimes
00:23:55.780telus is being annoying to me anyways that should be it for this video guys thank you for all
00:24:02.800watching make sure to like share subscribe consider hitting the join button and becoming
00:24:07.380a member of the channel. And of course, again, if you live in the provincial riding of Calgary
00:24:14.540Curry, consider buying a UCP membership and signing up on my website pinned at the top of
00:24:19.980the comments below, wyattclaypool.com, because I am exploring a run to run in the riding of Calgary
00:24:27.840Curry and winning it back from the Naheed Nenshi NDP. It's a tough fight. There were far easier
00:24:34.180ridings I could have run in. I'm wanting to do this one simply because I actually like sort of
00:24:39.260these tougher type of riding fights. I've won tough ridings on other people's teams before,
00:24:44.180and now I'm going to try and put together my own team in order to try and win back this riding for
00:24:50.600the UCP. Anyways, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching, and I'll see you guys all later.
