00:02:10And it was a betrayal of Canadian workers.
00:02:13It's like, well, if you knew it was going to happen, why didn't you say anything?
00:02:15And by the way, the Liberals are trying to puff out their chests and trying to hold Stellantis accountable for all this, just like they're doing with Stelco.
00:02:23They're free to lay people off when the market does not make it impossible for them to profit off of these ventures.0.88
00:02:31The Liberals attempting to basically strong-arm companies into staying in Canada is the dumbest strategy possible.
00:02:38And all of this is making Canada look like less and less of a good investment destination for new capital.
00:03:08for Stellantis is providing a global solution for the plant. So the Rochelle deal is a partial
00:03:15solution for the thousands of workers there. So being informed or being aware of some aspects is
00:03:21not the same as Stellantis providing a global solution for those workers at the plant, which
00:03:27is their obligation. That's such a stupid pivot. Well, now my problem is that, well, yeah, I knew1.00
00:03:33about the sale i knew people were going to be laid off but well i was blindsided that the solution
00:03:40was only a partial solution to the problem of laid off workers because as it has been said
00:03:46rochelle does not actually know how many people it's going to employ obviously it's going to
00:03:50rehire many of those tilandis workers it doesn't know if it's going to actually hire all them back
00:03:55or not but carney now acting like his outrage and his you know his like oh my goodness a deer
00:04:01in headlights attitude in the first place that was all a result of this very narrow issue he is now
00:04:06describing with the sale like obviously not you are trying to use Stellantis as a speed bump by
00:04:14throwing their body under the bus so that the you know the poor results of the liberal economy
00:04:20could basically be blamed on corporations who are based in the United States like Cleveland
00:04:26Cliffs who owns Stelco and Stellantis pulling out of Brampton to go to the U.S. That's what
00:04:32Carney wants to do. He wants to turn them into a boogeyman so he is not actually fingered as the
00:04:37real boogeyman hurting the Canadian economy. But now let's just quickly jump over to another
00:04:43question here where he has to explain, well, what were you saying was the big betrayal
00:04:49from just two days ago when the Stellantis sale was made public and you acted like there was a
00:04:55betrayal even though you knew about it sir what was the betrayal can you clarify no hey so i'm
00:05:02clear so i'm clear c'est absolument clear il faut avoir une solution global global pas pour seulement
00:05:15all the obligations for all of the workers that's the responsibility that's the responsibility of
00:05:20is that really an obligation of companies investing in canada that if you ever sell
00:05:28your your assets if you ever sell your plant that you must find a new job for every single1.00
00:05:34one of those workers to like with the company that you sell it to that's stupid that is going0.89
00:05:40to dry up investment even harder because what company when getting involved in the country0.97
00:05:46he wants to have like basically have to have these obligations where if you ever sell or if the
00:05:51market ever downturns you have to you have to guarantee no one's ever going to lose their job
00:05:55or or have their wages lowered you can't guarantee anything in life and him again acting like this0.99
00:06:01was the betrayal is stupid because he knew about it ahead of time and he was acting shocked and
00:06:06again this isn't this isn't Stellantis or Rochelle's responsibility people as many people are going to0.99
00:06:12be hired as the market can bear and him acting as if they are somehow like doing something wrong
00:06:18while he's done absolutely nothing to fix the economy is ridiculous it's a responsibility they
00:06:23made multiple times including in the battery deal it's a responsibility they they made multiple
00:06:30times no you're saying that they made a promise or they made some sort of legally binding deal
00:06:37then that's something him saying that there's a responsibility that they made multiple times
00:06:41That just sounds like you're just making stuff up, because I always find he uses very specific words, so he can't say that they signed anything. He can't say they actually have a legal responsibility. He's just saying that they have a responsibility that they did multiple times, which is a very confusing, weaselly way of saying nothing, but basically just saying, I think they have some sort of moral obligation to do this.
00:07:03that's the responsibility they made multiple times including in the battery deal uh that
00:07:10they signed with the government we will pursue all of this a partial solution is a step it is
00:07:15not a global solution that is and then he quickly ran away after those two questions i've seen the
00:07:22full press conference the full thing is five minutes there's like one question in french
00:07:27probably about some quebec topic it wasn't stalantis based i know that uh one question
00:07:31about you know his time in Ireland and what he's doing and all that it was just kind of a fluff
00:07:37question about his international travels and signing meaningless deals and then there were
00:07:41two questions about Stellantis and then he skedaddled I don't think he didn't have more time
00:07:47than that I think it's because that every time he talks about the Stellantis sale he ends up lying
00:07:53again and then he gets caught in that lie within 24 hours or less but let's go back to what Carney
00:07:59had actually said just two days ago on november 10th he had said that this was a betrayal of the
00:08:05workers and the obligations that they had made to canadians he didn't say that we were aware
00:08:09of this and we had been telling them this he acted as if this would just came out of nowhere
00:08:14the brampton plan is unacceptable it it violates the obligations that stellantis has uh under
00:08:21several agreements but to be more fundamental it's a betrayal of the workers as it is a betrayal of
00:08:31the of the obligations to Canada and by extension to all Canadians we will fully enforce our rights0.99
00:08:41name them Melanie Jolie standing to his left there has been putting out these stupid statements0.97
00:08:47on social media for the last month these just just like like just some random text block uh0.77
00:08:53like screenshot and posted a photo on x her declaring that we're looking into every option
00:08:59that we have every tool we have is on the table and we will do something about stelco or stelantis
00:09:05laying off workers they have obligations they are violating their obligations it's like which ones
00:09:10is it enforceable can you actually take them to court over this probably not or carney and
00:09:16Melanie Jolie would have actually named the thing that they did wrong, and what the penalty is.
00:09:21Because if you usually, in a proper contract, there will be your obligations, and if you do not
00:09:27fulfill them, here is the penalty. You will owe this much money, or here is some other thing that
00:09:33you're no longer going to be able to write off certain things on your taxes, or you will have
00:09:38subsidies clawed back, and you'll have to pay a bunch of them back that you would now violated
00:09:43the contract terms for. The problem here is that Stellantis actually was being subsidized by the
00:09:49federal government. They were only brought in because of federal government money being thrown
00:09:53at them, and Carney can't even blame the Trudeau liberals for doing it because he was the economic
00:09:59advisor at the time. They subsidized a bunch of businesses to come to Canada, the subsidy money
00:10:04ran out, and they left. And now the liberals are sitting around saying, but you were supposed to
00:10:09keep all those people employed i'm like yeah as the subsidies lasted but they didn't and now
00:10:15they're gone like i don't know you can't pretend like this is shocking in any way
00:10:22in protection of those workers and protection of canadian funds and the issue is not
00:10:28the work the exceptional work of the minister of industry madame jolly and her colleagues
00:10:36it is the behavior of the company versus those workers.
00:10:43And there'll be a meeting of all stakeholders, which, I mean, the minister is in constant contact,
00:10:48I know, because I'm regularly briefed at all hours.
00:10:52And there'll be a meeting of all stakeholders on Thursday on ways to move forward.
00:10:58But make no mistake, we will enforce our rights absolutely in protection of those workers.
00:11:02and all of the press that the liberals did around this was this just came out of nowhere and now
00:11:07we're having to scramble to protect these workers to to do something for these workers when they
00:11:12could have been doing that for months since they knew about this for several months and they had
00:11:16then now they're pretending as if it only came up five minutes ago and but now i want to jump over
00:11:22to the way the conservatives are handling this because you can tell this is christmas for them0.99
00:11:27right now because the liberals, by Carney telling this just needlessly stupid lie, he's opened0.99
00:11:34himself up to a lot of really solid credibility attacks from Pierre Polyev and the Conservative0.99
00:11:39Party. Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev here says, Mark Carney called the Stellantis sale
00:11:45a betrayal. The next day he called it a partial solution. He is talking about both sides of his
00:11:52mouth again. So who really betrayed Canadian workers? And of course, they are still hammering
00:11:57on industry minister Melanie Jolie and calling for Carney to fire her over mishandling this
00:12:02entire situation. And it's not just conservative scolds coming out to wag their finger at Melanie
00:12:07Jolie. Unifor, the private sector workers union came after the industry minister and the prime
00:12:13minister saying that there was no way the sale could have gone through without the knowledge of
00:12:18the federal government, despite the fact that they were pretending they didn't know. And that
00:12:22it was actually, in fact, Unifor, which was the one holding the stakeholders meeting that Melanie
00:12:27Jolie and Carney were piggyback offing as if they were the ones who organized it. They were not.
00:12:34And this was from a statement today by Pierre Polly, of course, wanting to extend his rhetorical
00:12:39victory today. This is a clip of it posted to his own social media. I just want a bite-sized
00:12:45version here it'll be easy to show carney liberals have betrayed our workers 3 000 canadian jobs
00:12:53are moving to the united states they've handed donald trump another trophy and they've cost
00:12:59billions of tax dollars to canadians mark carney promised elbows up instead he elbowed our auto
00:13:06workers in the face all of this after the carney liberals gave 15 billion dollars your tax money1.00
00:13:14to this company to do what to take our jobs south mothers welders small business owners seniors
00:13:24have had to give their tax dollars through this liberal government to a company that now moves
00:13:30jobs off to the united states now the one thing i will point out uh and it's not that car polio's
00:13:38getting this wrong it's just that obviously it's not his job to be sitting down and explaining
00:13:42the flaws with subsidy economics. But I don't blame Stellantis exactly. They're going to be
00:13:51in Canada while the getting is good, and when it ends, they'll leave. If you're just paying
00:13:57them to be here, it's like fake jobs. We've created a bunch of fake jobs by subsidizing
00:14:02Stellantis enough that they will hire people for their battery plant or their auto manufacturing,
00:14:08but as soon as the money leaves because now the profitability of those assets goes down severely
00:14:13they're like yeah well we have no more obligations because the money train from the government has
00:14:18stopped now we can sell to Rochelle and we can head back down to the United States where things
00:14:22are actually profitable that's really what's going on here it's not that we need the government to
00:14:27enforce rules harder on Stellantis it's not going to work out you're going to lose those court cases
00:14:32and even if you win you're going to win a decade later it's not going to matter anymore what you
00:14:36want to do is create an economy where companies like Stellantis will want to invest in your
00:14:42economy without having to dangle carrots, without having to just hand them cash to get them to open
00:14:49up a plant. How about just have low taxes and low regulations, as I keep saying on this show?
00:14:56I also want to jump over now to the CTV panel, because you know it's getting bad when you just
00:15:01have wall-to-wall panels on liberal outlets where they can't really say anything good about what the
00:15:07prime minister is doing and in fact are actually taking him to task the way that the media should
00:15:12be doing more often. I think you're getting tired of just the rhetoric of you're going to hold people
00:15:16to account without seeing any real results and not really sure what the next steps are and I just
00:15:21think to Kathleen's earlier points I just you have to ask yourself you know where do we go from here
00:15:26Every company now that thinks, you know, it's financially unviable to be in this market,
00:15:31are we going to have this situation where it's just constant, you know, aggressive rhetoric,
00:15:35constant browbeating that you have to stay in Canada or else?
00:15:37I'm not sure that's the direction we want to go in as a country.
00:18:15they're going to come out and call Carney a liar. It was like the Gordie Howe bridge situation
00:18:19where Carney was saying that, oh, no, no, no, it's only good. It's going to be a profit split
00:18:24and it's going to be very little money. And then it turns out it's effectively a revenue split with
00:18:28a couple of maintenance costs taken out. And that's it. It was obviously going to be exposed
00:18:33later on because the Americans have no obligation to lie for Mark Carney. They're going to tell
00:18:38people, oh, no, absolutely. It's a revenue split. It's like, man, shut up. I don't know why that
00:18:44has to be the case but apparently in the liberal government the leader needs to stop talking because
00:18:51he gets himself in trouble and as that panel on ctv news is pointing out now it's actually created
00:18:56a broader narrative of why are companies leaving a topic that if carny had not chosen to do the
00:19:03dumbest lie possible wouldn't have actually gotten onto the media's radar the media doesn't want it
00:19:08on their radar they want to be giving carny foot rubs and telling him how good a boy he's being0.95
00:19:13They don't want to talk about how his economy sucks, but Carney chose to lie about something so obvious the media had to talk about it, and it kind of pings that idea in most Canadians' minds of where they think, why are Stellantis and Cleveland Cliffs and other companies choosing to leave right now?
00:19:30And the Liberals trying to antagonize and crucify these particular companies just brings up the question of, well, why are other jobs being lost?
00:19:40These are like a drop in the bucket compared to the overall job losses in Canada over the last few months.
00:19:47We've lost like 114,000 jobs on net, and that's even after October where the government hired like 48,000 public employees.
00:19:58But is there an evil, nasty company behind all those job losses for the last three or four months?
00:20:04Is that what's going on? I don't think so.
00:20:06But that's what Carney and the liberals really want you to believe.
00:20:09Anytime something bad goes on, it's some evil American company who bamboozled, who hoodwinked us,
00:20:17and now they are taking away all the jobs that they had an obligation to provide.
00:20:23Companies have no obligation to anybody but their shareholders.
00:20:27And that's not bad. They're the ones who have their money in the company. It is not a jobs program. I feel bad for anyone losing their jobs. But the reason they're losing their jobs is because of the bad economy that Carney built.
00:20:42the responsibility that the liberal government has is to taxpayers. It's to taxpayers first.
00:20:50And the way that you make sure that taxpayers are being well served is by creating an environment
00:20:56where taxpayers can actually flourish, where companies can flourish, so that the government
00:21:02has a good stream of revenue from tax dollars at the same time that taxpayers are not under
00:21:08pressure to provide those dollars. If we lower taxes in this country, income taxes and corporate
00:21:15taxes, yes, get rid of a lot of the stupid gas taxes as well, you will have people who have more
00:21:22sustainable personal finances, and you'll actually grow the pie of the economy, meaning that the0.97
00:21:28government's technically smaller share of it is bigger in terms of raw dollars. I hope that
00:21:34and the conservative party eventually allow me to bully them into running on the platform
00:21:41of a federal 20%, maybe even just say 15 or 18, but some large number across the board,
00:21:49income tax cut, corporate tax cut, take a percent off the GST for the fun of it,
00:21:55reduce the gas taxes, because in one, two, three years, you'll actually be taking in more revenues
00:22:01than you will have the previous years because the economy will start growing again.
00:22:05And no doubt there's also a lot of wasteful spending you can get rid of.
00:22:08Guess what? You don't need a school food program.
00:22:11You don't need grocery rebates if no one's struggling to purchase groceries or feed their kids.
00:22:16If you get the tax boot off people's necks, they can pay for it themselves easier.
00:22:22And guess what? They'll be happy to pay for it themselves.
00:22:25Because people like doing things for themselves, not the government breaking their legs
00:22:28and then handing them crutches and patting themselves on the back after because, hey,
00:22:33we look at all those people we helped. Yes, we hurt them too. Yes, we crippled them. But we look
00:22:37at the crutches that we just provided them. That's the situation the liberal government likes.
00:22:42People being needy because of bad liberal policies so they can swoop in and pretend to be superheroes.
00:22:48Anyways, so a bit of a rant there at the end, but it always turns into a bit of a rant there.
00:22:52anyway so thank you guys for watching make sure to like share subscribe if you live in the calgary
