Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. You've heard me say it in the past, but I am here to emphasize
00:00:06.260
it yet again. Mark Carney is a terrible candidate for prime minister. I don't know why the liberal
00:00:13.820
power brokers are putting so much behind him, because this guy has the ability to fold up like
00:00:19.620
a tent in a second. Yes, he's professional and buttoned down on the surface. The man's a radical
00:00:25.300
and policy. The man also has an extreme penchant for lying, and the lying, it looks like, is going
00:00:31.580
to be his undoing. He keeps telling the silliest lies that he just doesn't need to say that can
00:00:37.200
easily be fact-checked, and then easily spun into a commercial for the conservative party.
00:00:42.180
I hope the conservatives do. I want to show you one that's quite egregious. Before I do that,
00:00:47.140
guys, remember to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, do all that great stuff.
00:00:50.560
But here's Mark Carney at a bar event for his leadership campaign, saying that he has dealt
00:00:55.460
with Donald Trump before. Thank you for CBC watcher for posting this to X, although Barry today filmed
00:01:01.680
it. You soften him up. You soften him up for me. No, like what our strategy with Trump, and I've dealt
00:01:08.180
with Trump in the past. He respects strength. He respects strength. Like a lot of bullies, he respects
00:01:14.460
strength. And that's part of the reason, look, we got to build here for ourselves, but it's also to show
00:01:19.500
him that we are masters in our own home, right? I hate that masters in our own home line. He thinks
00:01:26.280
it's so good. He thinks it's so strong sounding. It's not. It's so pathetic, especially when you put
00:01:32.720
up against his record, like one of his other recent scandals, moving the headquarters of Brookfield
00:01:38.780
Asset Management when he was the chair, urging stakeholders, stockholders to vote for it,
00:01:43.940
or shareholders. What am I saying? I guess those are stockholders. Moving the company to New York City,
00:01:49.400
on December 1st, which is like the biggest unendorsement of the Canadian economy he could
00:01:54.660
possibly give, that he was advising on for four years. But where has Carney ever dealt with Donald
00:02:00.420
Trump? Literally where? He wasn't in Canada, but when Trump was in office for the first term,
00:02:06.000
he was the governor of the Bank of England at one point, but I don't even believe he was that
00:02:09.820
when Trump was the president. There's a lot of problems here where the timeline doesn't make any
00:02:14.080
sense. But he's just simply saying things that he thinks will get him to the next day.
00:02:19.040
And when politicians do that, they will have everything collapse in on themselves. That's
00:02:23.380
the funny thing. He's not even a good liar. I almost want to look at him like shake and be like,
00:02:27.760
dude, just lie better. Lie in such a way where someone's not going to be able to fact check you
00:02:32.100
the next second and be like, yeah, that never happened. Here is Michael Barrett actually having to
00:02:37.160
push back on the media, pretending like the whole moving of the headquarters wasn't a big deal.
00:02:42.320
It was just a paper move. We're just re-registering in New York City. No big deal. And I think Michael
00:02:48.120
Barrett does a good job of breaking down this lie that the media is now trying to defend. Because
00:02:52.480
again, Mark Carney claimed he wasn't even on the board. He had already left by the time they had
00:02:58.140
made the decision to move. That was proven not to be true. He was the chair of the meeting that
00:03:02.380
approved the move. And then he urged shareholders to vote for the move.
00:03:06.240
What's the significance of the fact that they chose it? It's a technical move. It's a paper move to move
00:03:09.920
the headquarters from Toronto to New York. They still have presence in Toronto. So why does this
00:03:14.880
matter? Donald Trump asked companies to move to the United States, asked them to take their jobs,
00:03:22.540
to take their investment dollars to the United States. And we saw this during his first term,
00:03:28.260
and we're seeing it again now. He hadn't even taken office. But he had threatened Canada with unjustified
00:03:37.580
and unjust tariffs on Canada and on Canadians. And what was the response from Mark Carney? It was to
00:03:49.400
immediately support and to his board unanimously voting to move their headquarters from Canada
00:03:58.100
to New York City, not standing up to Donald Trump, not protecting Canadian interests, Canadian investment,
00:04:05.200
Canadian jobs, not even modeling good behavior. He did exactly what Donald Trump asked before he was
00:04:13.900
And that's the big thing here. It's I would say it's the modeling behavior point that makes sense.
00:04:19.660
I don't care if companies move wherever they're going to be most financially solvent,
00:04:24.500
unless it's like some hostile country like China. Don't move your company to China. Don't move your
00:04:28.800
company to Iran or North Korea. I think it goes without saying. But think about the fact that Mark
00:04:33.800
Carney knows he's going to try and run for office by early December, probably by probably more like
00:04:39.660
October. People knew that Trudeau was unlikely to survive to the next election. And yet he's already
00:04:45.280
moving his assets out of the country. You think that he actually thinks that his company is going
00:04:50.220
to be doing well in Canada while he's prime minister, if he's preemptively moving out before
00:04:55.660
he starts implementing his own policies directly. And he's already been implementing his own policies
00:05:00.140
for four years. He was the financial advisor, economic advisor. In fact, Chrystia Freeland could have
00:05:06.820
washed her hands of all bad decisions that were made because in theory, Mark Carney was probably
00:05:11.420
forcing her to do a lot of it because he was in charge telling Trudeau what to do. And then if
00:05:16.580
Chrystia Freeland didn't implement it, although she's still a fool, obviously, if she didn't implement
00:05:21.540
it, she was going to get thrown under the bus, which is what was happening right before the Christmas
00:05:26.700
season in December, where she had to up and resign because they were going to blame her for the massive
00:05:31.260
deficit, even though it had nothing to do with her. Again, she's still a bad finance minister.
00:05:36.240
But the fact that we had a $62 billion deficit was because of Mark Carney wanting the GST, HST
00:05:41.840
freeze that ended up absolutely destroying government revenues for the next few months to
00:05:48.180
make sure that the debt wasn't going to be too, too bad. And it got really bad. I want to talk about
00:05:54.240
one more thing here. Actually, before we move on to this other thing I want to talk about, I just want
00:05:57.720
to show you the chart from the Abacus data poll recently. And this is another one of those things
00:06:02.500
backing up my idea that there is a Carney collapse coming. Look at how his approval rating started.
00:06:08.500
Early January, his approval rating, and this really demonstrates how few people know who he is,
00:06:12.820
14% disapproval, 19% approval. The vast majority of people don't know who he is. Even now, I guarantee,
00:06:18.820
even though these numbers as we go start adding over 50, most people still don't really know about him.
00:06:25.460
He's like a shape in people's minds, but not a real character. And again, his problem is he's also
00:06:30.580
boring. But look at after the first week, his approval shoots up because he's in a liberal
00:06:35.860
leadership race. So naturally, you get a lot of liberals and some probably NDP guys willing to say,
00:06:40.620
well, he seems cool because he's a liberal. And then by February, then after mid-February,
00:06:47.000
his disapproval rating starts shooting up faster than his approval rating is increasing. He went from
00:06:53.460
20 to 26, where he only went from 35 to 36. I don't probably have to tell you that this is a bad
00:07:00.420
thing because there's not much good to say about Mark Carney, but there's increasingly a lot of bad
00:07:05.060
stuff to say. Again, he's in favor of CBDCs, carbon tax tariffs, all this crazy garbage. And at the same
00:07:11.100
time, he's a complete liar. And I love this new meme trend on X about people making up stuff that
00:07:18.780
Carney made up. Again, he also has a bunch of lies we can get to about the Bank of Canada and whatnot.
00:07:23.460
That he is, you know, or and the Bank of England, he's pretends that he's a hero. He was the one
00:07:29.260
who saved the Canadian economy. He had nothing to do with it. That was Stephen Harper and Flaherty
00:07:33.300
back in the day. And then in England, he in fact, made the UK's economy worse through basically
00:07:39.120
pressuring the government to pass laws or basically pass spending measures that he found most satisfying,
00:07:46.740
even though as the governor of the Bank of England, you shouldn't be doing that at all.
00:07:49.700
But he was using his leverage because Brexit made everything very contentious that unless
00:07:54.020
you implement what I want you to implement, I'm going to walk off the job and blame you
00:07:58.180
guys for everything. And a lot of politicians are kind of gutless. And when you threaten them
00:08:02.760
like that, all of them will do what you want. We saw that happen tons during COVID. Governors,
00:08:08.400
premiers, like the leaders of countries were unwilling to contradict their medical expert because
00:08:14.580
it's the medical expert. And do I really want the bad news cycle of getting into a fight with the
00:08:18.720
medical expert as some sort of layman? But this is my favorite new trend, people making AI versions of
00:08:26.420
things that Mark Carney, he doesn't like, obviously, these are fake, they're parodies, but it's making
00:08:31.360
fun of how much credit stealing that Mark Carney has been engaging in in the past few weeks. And it's
00:08:36.780
not just the Bank of Canada and England stuff. It's not just the Brookfield asset management. It's not
00:08:41.820
just him saying he's dealt with Donald Trump. There's a lot of this stuff, this credit stealing.
00:08:46.600
He says, Mark Carney brings home the gold medal for Canada in breakdancing at the 2024 Paris
00:08:51.980
Olympics. I like this one from Marty up north. After receiving his Oscar for his performance in
00:08:57.660
1971, The French Connection, Gene Hackman thanked Mark Carney for teaching me everything I know
00:09:02.720
about being a great actor. And then this one, Mark Carney coaches Michael Jordan for all of his six
00:09:09.520
NBA championships. And that's because that's like really when you break and boil it down to
00:09:14.780
he's a braggart who's not even interesting. He's the worst combination that you could possibly have
00:09:19.580
as a leader. It's almost like the acronym bad works here. He's boring, annoying, and dumb.
00:09:27.540
Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys. I'm still in Nanaimo. I'm flying home tomorrow. So
00:09:32.520
hopefully one of my videos tomorrow will be in the normal studio. Every once in a while filming in hotel
00:09:37.740
rooms is slightly annoying, but you know, at least it changes it up. But other than that, guys,
00:09:42.840
like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment. See you guys later.
