00:00:29.680I believe Prime Minister Stephen Harper was at like 65%.
00:00:34.140Now, I think this has actually been a strategic play by Mark Carney.
00:00:39.060I know a lot of people will just queue it up to he doesn't like accountability, but it's more than that.
00:00:43.980I think he knows that his liberal agenda is failing, that the things that he's promised are not going to be delivered.
00:00:50.620so he wants as little historical footage of him in QP saying that everything's going to work out
00:00:57.240fine. If he's not on camera lying, it can't be used in a campaign ad. But in just a second here,
00:01:04.320I just want to get to a press conference with conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer,
00:01:09.300and then I want to go into some other things around this topic. But before I do,
00:01:13.580I just want to remind you guys, if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on the video,

00:01:26.700the video and become a monthly contributing channel member but now without further ado
00:01:31.740here is Andrew Scheer talking about Carney hitting 100 days of not showing up to QP.
00:01:38.180Well good afternoon today marks a very unfortunate milestone for Mark Carney today will be his
00:01:45.760100 missed question period. He's skipped out on 100 out of 136 question periods. That is
00:01:55.000completely unacceptable. And by the way, as of today, it's now 101 out of 137 that he has missed.
00:02:02.280Now, to be clear, today he's at the G7 and Conservatives have no issue when the Prime
00:02:08.980Minister of Canada represents our country at the G7. However, of the hundred question periods that
00:02:16.460he's missed, fully 64 of them were while he was right here in Ottawa. So there's no excuse for
00:02:24.120those absences. He was literally in the building or around the corner. He could have easily showed
00:02:29.520up and defended his government's record. And that's really what it is. Carney doesn't want
00:02:34.880to be on the record defending his record because again all those clips can be used against him
00:02:39.860later but I wouldn't actually be as nice as Andrew Scheer is being because he's saying well 64 of
00:02:45.740these instances of him not showing up to QP he was in Ottawa he was around the parliament building
00:02:51.000or he was in his office across street he could have shown up I would actually say even the other
00:02:56.420whatever would be like 36 of them 37 instances of him missing while he was abroad are still
00:03:02.860unacceptable because he knows when we're in session and when we're not in session. And so
00:03:07.740much of his travel has been entirely useless. This G7 meeting, I agree, perfectly fine. There's been
00:03:13.820other times when he went traveling and it was good. But so many of his travels have just been
00:03:19.240nonsense. It's just been him going and signing MOUs and agreements about nothing where no actual
00:03:25.840deliverables are on the table. But I'll let Andrew Scheer keep going down this line. And then I want
00:03:31.940to jump over to QP to kind of, again, highlight the fact that the Liberals don't really have
00:03:37.000exactly great answers for the bad metrics when it comes to the economy. And that is exactly why
00:03:42.760Carney doesn't want to actually be there on camera while these things are being asked of him.
00:03:47.520Of course, it's no surprise why he's hesitant to defend his own record when it comes to the
00:03:52.420economy. After all, if we take a look at just some of the stats right here in black and white,
00:03:58.480He's delivered the only G20 country in a recession, 15 consecutive months of business investment decline.
00:04:08.140He's delivered the second highest unemployment in the G7, the highest household debt in the G7.
00:04:13.680And Mark Carney has delivered the worst housing costs in the G7.
00:04:17.560He's even doubled Justin Trudeau's massive deficits.
00:04:21.120And according to the PBO, Carney has just a 1% chance of meeting his deficit to GDP fiscal anchor and a greater than 50% chance of the debt to GDP ratio increasing.
00:04:33.000Now, what does all this mean for hardworking Canadians?
00:04:35.760Well, more and more Canadians are facing such sad hardships.
00:04:40.580The struggles they are facing are only getting worse under Mark Carney's terrible economic record.
00:04:44.700Now, we don't need to play that clip any further. But before I actually get to QP, I do want to highlight a statistic that I probably cannot fit into any other video in the future. So I want to mention it here. But this is, again, another one of those things where the Liberals are quite, I would say, motivated to trying to have as little media time, as little question and answer as possible.
00:05:08.380because some of their big agenda items are just absolutely collapsing under the mildest amount of
00:05:14.260scrutiny. We've talked about the Alto train before, how it's a train between Toronto and Quebec that
00:05:21.060nobody asked for. Farmers hate it. The fiscal hawks hate it. The Quebec sovereigntists hate it.
00:05:26.380Everybody hates it. And I can show you statistical proof that people hate it. This is lege. What
00:05:33.440somebody would probably call a very left-leaning polling firm. Not in terms of their trying to be
00:05:40.580biased, although there are some firms out there I do believe are trying to be biased, but Leger
00:05:45.700has a fairly notorious left-lean when it comes to who it samples in its online polls. Leger in Quebec
00:05:53.260found that only 54% of Quebecers are in favor of the Alto train, 35% not in favor, and then there's
00:06:01.600probably a bunch undecided in there, of course. You could say, well, that's a majority. They
00:06:06.140haven't even broken ground on the project. We are years away. And 2029 is when they might break
00:06:11.860ground on this thing, when they might start laying track. They have already spent over a quarter
00:06:17.440billion dollars consulting on and planning hypothetical routes for this train and trying
00:06:24.900to talk with farmers and other interest groups. They've already blown more money than entire city
00:06:31.200governments work on multiple city governments work with less money than 250 million dollars
00:06:40.320now there's some big cities like toronto and calgary and vancouver probably have like you
00:06:44.060know a two three billion dollar budget but i mean in terms of like there are some mid-level cities
00:06:48.680that is more money than they operate with and that's just for the pre-planning the pre-planning
00:06:53.860to the pre-planning for alto and you're already at only 54 percent favorable in a liberal leaning
00:07:00.320full. That is not good. I don't know how else, you don't, there's almost nothing else to say
00:07:06.920there. The conflicts of interest haven't even started boiling up as much as they have, as much
00:07:12.020as they could yet. Again, the price tag is going to balloon probably from $90 billion for the train
00:07:59.200This is the thing that Mark Carney has coming for him.
00:08:02.260All of his plans are, I would say, self-defeating.
00:08:06.100So many of the things that he has been doing in government are going to come back to bite him.
00:08:11.060The overspending, the major projects attached to interests connected with Brookfield,
00:08:17.720things like the Alto train that people don't even like.
00:08:20.240A lot of his program is things that eventually are going to make him look bad in the long run.
00:08:26.220His fake pipeline that's never going to get done is causing him to lose votes both on his left and his right.
00:08:33.240The business liberals who voted for the Liberal Party in 2025 because they thought that Carney was going to be great for the economy are getting kind of tired.
00:08:41.400And the green left, who doesn't like that Mark Carney isn't as much of a zealot as Justin Trudeau is, although he's still never going to build a pipeline, are also mad that he's rhetorically softening on the environment, and they're moving away from him too.
00:08:53.880the man keeps putting himself in these traps of his own making and that's why he can't come into
00:09:00.060question period because he does not actually know what his position is day to day oftentimes or he
00:09:06.360doesn't want to be on the record having to answer questions about these programs that aren't working
00:09:10.400but now let's get to qp where i believe andrew lawton is starting us off today
00:09:15.100one of my favorite federal conservative mps the honorable member for elgin st thomas london
00:09:21.740thank you mr speaker it's time once again all of the g7 leaders are gathering together and our
00:09:29.740prime minister has lots to talk about he can brag that he's the only one of them to lead his country
00:09:34.640into a recession in the time he's been in office in fact he's the only leader in the g20 to do that
00:09:40.700but the fact that canada is in a recession is just one measure of the way things are not going well
00:09:45.860for so many canadians we have families living in rvs in parking lots we have seniors sleeping
00:09:51.500in tim hortons because they have nowhere else to go and we have food bank usage at record highs
00:09:56.300yet the prime minister says affordability is the best it's been in years if this is the best will
00:10:01.580he tell us what the worst would look like normal government house leader mr speaker as the g7 wraps
00:10:08.780up uh in france i know canadians are very proud to be represented by the prime minister on the world
00:10:15.900stage and will be very proud to learn as he returns that he returns with 13 13 new agreements
00:10:23.260that will generate over 5 billion dollars 5 billion he has 13 agreements that will generate
00:10:31.4805 billion dollars do people understand how little fit like how little 5 billion dollars is on a
00:10:38.840federal scale in terms of investments in canada 5 billion dollars is nothing and by the way what's
00:10:44.700actually been seen at the G7 so far is Carney having to swing by Trump and on hot mic, basically
00:10:50.480begging him to like our trade agreement with China and hoping that it's not going to be a problem.
00:10:55.860Now, maybe he'll get some progress there. But the idea that we're supposed to be clapping over
00:11:01.240these agreements where we go to Indonesia and we sign a vague agreement that we're going to trade
00:11:05.680more, it's not doing anything. Even if we doubled our Indonesian trade, we would have, what is it,
00:11:12.580I think we would increase our overall exports to them by like $2 billion if we doubled them.
00:11:19.020In all these other cases, like these $5 billion agreements spread across $13 or $5 billion of
00:11:25.340agreements, and there are 13 agreements, that means that each of these is worth less than a
00:11:30.140billion dollars by quite a bit here. And that's the problem that we have with the liberals. They
00:11:35.440don't actually have any big wins. All of the wins are these little tiny nickel and dime
00:11:42.560type wins where oh we got half a million dollars here four million here three billion here and when
00:11:48.800you actually think of the size of the canadian economy that i believe is over a trillion dollars
00:11:52.400a year this is nothing this is quite bad actually considering all the time he's putting into this
00:11:58.560including like his his flight in-flight dinners that are apparently costing nearly a quarter
00:12:04.800million dollars for just a few trips to build a stronger more self-reliant canada in a troubled
00:12:24.640world the honorable member for elgin st thomas london thank you mr speaker we've heard the prime
00:12:40.700minister's announcements before what we haven't seen is real action again this prime minister
00:12:46.380has traveled around the world and failed to deliver a single new free trade agreement
00:15:20.520Anyways, with all that being said, it's pretty obvious that Carney doesn't actually want to show up to QP,
00:15:26.820even when he's back, and it's because of things like this.
00:15:29.860His record is not going to be looking good over the long run,
00:15:34.260and so he is trying to basically squash the media around it.
00:15:37.720Even the media in Canada does complain that he is very much not available. He doesn't do that many scrums. He doesn't take that many questions. He doesn't go to QP. And I think that is a communications choice. Not just that he's bad on camera. He's not even exactly bad on camera. He's a bit boring on camera, but that's not exactly, you know, bad in politics to be a bit boring.
00:15:58.280but Carney doesn't want to be on camera because he doesn't want any of this being used in ads he
00:16:04.280doesn't want this any of this ever being referenced again the one moment in QP that still haunts him
00:16:09.940is saying that affordability has never been better in Canada over the past 10 years despite the fact
00:16:15.420that it's arguably at its worst or second worst point over the past two or three decades at this
00:16:21.420point so yeah uh he doesn't want any more of those things happening that's why he's been ducking QP
00:16:26.700anyways so with all that being said thank you guys for watching i do hope that mark carney
00:16:33.160comes back to canada one day with that pack of cigarettes that he went to go find uh but until
