00:01:21.440to be subject to a 50% levy. My problem with all this when it comes to the Canadian side,
00:01:26.700obviously, I don't like what President Donald Trump is doing here. But Mark Carney keeps
00:01:32.440wanting to basically get into the punch for punch fight, where we go back and forth on who's
00:01:38.320tariffing more on who. And it's just something that Canada cannot deal with. And it's not because
00:01:44.060I'm not patriotic, and I don't believe in us enough. It's that the liberals have made our
00:01:48.520economy weaker over time and so getting into this tit-for-tat trade conflict is really damaging for
00:01:56.080us especially because we export a lot more to the United States than they export to us so this is
00:02:02.480going to do a lot more damage to us especially when it comes to alcohol because Canada I believe
00:02:08.280sends about three to four times more alcohol to the United States than the United States sends
00:02:14.360to Canada, despite being a much, much bigger economy. It's just something that we happen to
00:02:19.520specialize in. We send them a lot of stuff. They don't send much to us. So when they ban ours and
00:02:25.300we ban theirs, well, obviously there is going to be a massive increduity here. I'm getting the
00:02:33.160word wrong, but you get it. But it's not, it's incongruent. They are, they are obviously doing
00:02:38.000more damage to us than we are to them, but the elbows up crowd doesn't want to put the American1.00
00:02:42.100alcohol back on the shelves or get rid of things like the stupid censorship policies or our dumb1.00
00:02:48.200China trade deal. If we did some of those things and got rid of supply management, we could actually0.99
00:02:53.680then push them to try and lower their tariffs. But everyone has the dumbest red lines on the planet0.92
00:02:59.220in this situation. I just want to go back to the article here for a bit. It says,0.73
00:03:05.280this is the latest move in an escalating trade war between Canada and the U.S. and comes after
00:03:10.520Canadian retaliatory tariffs promised after trade talks fell apart last month, came into force on
00:03:16.100Tuesday. Now, I will say, though, that I don't like that how the CBC says that trade talks fell
00:03:22.380apart. Mark Carney walked away. And in fact, it seems like the evidence points to him being the
00:03:28.420one who was trying to add last minute things, which in theory isn't wrong. Yeah, maybe you could go
00:03:34.420past the date that he was going to drop the new tariffs and we could keep negotiating. But instead,
00:03:40.520He made last-minute demands, apparently, and then when those got rejected or they didn't want to move on them right away, he then walked away, which just felt like a way for DeMarc Carney to basically end the talks because they're not politically beneficial to the Liberal Party.
00:04:28.900It's like, yeah, but you guys also put tariffs on us first.
00:04:32.240At the same time, I hate when liberals bring that up because they always use it as an excuse to sit around and do nothing and wait for the Americans to come to us.
00:04:39.980Now, we don't need to go to the Americans begging and, you know, scratching, crawling on the floor, trying to see if they can give us some small bone and then we'll remove all of our countermeasures.
00:04:54.260You still play for the best deal possible. But Carney finds every excuse to not even be in the room, not even be in discussions at all.
00:05:03.380And I don't know how this actually helps the average Canadian whatsoever.
00:05:07.460Now, I want to jump over to this video that came out yesterday where Mark Carney laughs this whole thing off.
00:05:15.800Apparently, this is all very funny to him. And I know he's responding to Trump speaking hyperbolically in this particular moment.
00:05:24.260But it's, you know, kind of not a good look that this has become a laughing matter between you taking jabs at Donald Trump and him taking jabs back at you.
00:05:33.340But just watch this little exchange with a reporter.
00:05:36.960President Trump said yesterday he thinks Canada will apologize in the next three to four weeks and say we're going to get rid of all the tariffs.
00:05:45.460Mr. Navarro today told Canadians lobbying in Washington to get the hell out of the country.
00:05:51.540i i take note of both comments how's that um i mean no no response um to either
00:06:00.820no response except his laugh the start to indicate how ridiculous the whole thing was
00:06:06.780and it's like okay maybe trump wanting an apology and for you to take down all your tariffs and0.53
00:06:12.180whatnot maybe just the attitude that he goes in with is kind of ridiculous but goodness people
00:06:18.440are actually losing jobs left and right. In fact, we have factories shutting down. We have steel
00:06:25.900plants that are at risk of shutting down right now. And this was the industry that the liberals
00:06:31.420have been throwing money at to try and keep it healthy during this trade conflict. There's only
00:06:36.000so much the government can do. Now, the thing is, you don't have to like it to know that we do need
00:06:42.360to hammer out a deal. Nobody's basically demanding that the elbows-up crew think everything's
00:06:48.420fair. I don't think it's fair. But try and get something that you can put up with for a couple
00:06:53.600of years, preserve and grow the Canadian economy, and then when you have a different president,
00:06:59.580then try and sign something with them. And by the way, I want to bring up something that was
00:07:04.640really interesting that happened the other day. I believe this was also yesterday, yes. But it
00:07:10.220kind of puts a bit of a metal spike in the tire of Carney's plans to try and get us into the
00:07:16.920European Union because this is a story that will happen all of the time if we ever become a member
00:07:24.260of the European Union, let alone an associate member that doesn't even get a vote. This is from
00:07:29.580Newfoundland and Labrador PC Premier Tony Wakeham. He says, let me be clear, France has no authority
00:07:36.480to fish snow crab on Canada's continental shelf and Newfoundland and Labrador will not stand for
00:07:42.800The fishing industry is the backbone of our coastal communities and a livelihood of thousands of families across the province. I've spoken directly with Minister, who is this, Joan Thompson, and Canada does not support this action. I will work with Minister Thompson and anyone else I need in order to protect our fishery and make sure our position is heard loud and clear.
00:08:06.920By the way, this happens all the time in the European Union.
00:08:10.680Back when Britain was still part of the EU, they would have constant problems of fishing quota not being given to English fishermen in the Channel or even in the North Sea.
00:08:22.320But French fishermen were allowed to fish with impunity.
00:08:25.820They had quota in that area that the English and Scottish fishermen did not have, which is completely ridiculous because it's the water right next to where they live.
00:08:35.760But French fishermen from the west coast of their country can come up all the way around and fish in those sort of English waters without any penalties.
00:08:46.160And now the French are doing it on Newfoundland and Labrador's coast.
00:08:50.860And if we sign on with the EU, that will happen way, way, way more often because we already have seen the precedent of what happened with the UK when they were still in it.
00:09:03.020I want to now bring up this other video. I thought this was quite a good one from Michael Cooper in Question Period a couple of days ago. Again, I cannot stand that whenever something goes wrong in Canada, it's always the Americans' fault. It's always the fault of just global trends and whatnot.
00:09:22.840There's never any specific thing that the government can do that they're not already doing.
00:09:28.740And I thought that Michael Cooper did a really good takedown of the liberal position here in QP just a couple days ago.
00:09:37.100Prime Minister is out of touch blaming everyone but himself for skyrocketing fuel prices.
00:15:17.240Many, many people are going into Canada right now from other parts of the world and it's not a good situation. They're coming in totally unchecked, totally unvetted.0.94
00:15:27.240Oh, that wasn't the right one. That was also what he was talking about when it comes to migration over the border of Canada to the United States, that there's a lot of people entering the US through Canada, like terrorists and whatnot, which is actually partially true, but that's not what I wanted to highlight.
00:15:43.240I wanted to highlight the Fox News clip here, where they were highlighting his answer about Carney getting back to the table.
00:15:51.420I think what's going to happen is over the next three or four weeks, they're going to come to us and they're going to say, we're going to get rid of all the terms.
00:16:01.640We're going to win everything. We even have Lake Ontario is now Lake America.
00:16:08.660And that's been done, by the way. It's actually just got done.
00:16:11.880told me it was just completed but um they're going to come in and they're going to say sir
00:16:19.420we are sorry they've treated the united states very very badly i think a deal will be made but
00:16:26.700it's going to be a fair deal now my whole thing with this is that it feels like canada is stuck
00:16:33.660in neutral right now in so many different ways now i'm dealing with the bc provincial election
00:16:39.800right now with 1BC, and it is extremely frustrating. And it has nothing to do with our team and how
00:16:47.300we're operating. It's because the entire election's corrupt. The entire thing is determined by the
00:16:53.080major parties, basically. David Eby and the NDP call the snap election. There's basically only
00:16:58.560about nine days to get candidates and get their signatures to get them on the ballot. And the
00:17:03.640only parties that can really field a lot of candidates are the two biggest parties, and
00:17:07.660everyone is is like basically running around trying to get people to put their names on the ballot and
00:17:12.980most people short notice can't do something like that federally it feels like there's you know the
00:17:17.920liberals can do whatever they want and people will give them a uh you know a blank check you know
00:17:23.580eventually i think the check's going to come due and a lot of things are going to fall apart but
00:17:27.740that's the frustrating thing about the moment that we're in it feels like carney can kind of get away
00:17:31.980with the fact that he's broken a lot of promises and nothing good is actually happening on the
00:17:36.440federal front at the moment we have more reports coming out that oh the economy is going to slow
00:17:40.920down in the in the third and fourth quarter it's like well you think you think it's going to slow
00:17:45.600down who what crystal ball told you that was it because we're in a trade conflict that carney's
00:17:51.760not trying to end and all of his solutions are just throwing money at the problem of course
00:17:57.000we're probably going to start losing jobs we already lost jobs in august but the media and
00:18:02.260a lot of just general voters are just happy to assume good things are happening. A lot of people
00:18:07.580just kind of go along with whatever, you know, is the current thing. And then you have to wait until
00:18:13.020bad stuff happens. And then people finally usually wake up, but only sometimes for a couple of years
00:18:19.040at a time, then it's a big whole reset again. And you have to, you know, encourage people to be
00:18:24.080critical thinkers once again. But, you know, that's my rant for today. Obviously this whole
00:18:29.620BC things really annoying me. We're going to try and get as many people on the ballot in for the
00:18:34.5601BC party in British Columbia. We will not be having a full slate. It's just the problem of
00:18:40.320the tight timelines. You can find a great candidate, but they're on vacation or, you know,
00:18:45.220they're going to be out of town or they just can't do it in nine days or whatever. And so we'll be
00:18:49.300trying to field an actual conservative opposition in as many ridings as possible. And I would say
00:18:54.840if you're in a riding that doesn't have a 1BC person and your conservative sucks, then just0.98
00:18:59.120stay home, which is probably the vast majority of the conservatives out there. Anyways, but with all0.95
00:19:04.320that being said, thank you guys for watching, and I'll see you all later.
