00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.280 Prime Minister Mark Carney and his liberal government have plunged Canada into a recession,
00:00:11.700 but of course the legacy media is focused on the real story in all of this, and that is
00:00:17.760 U.S. President Donald Trump making a 51st state joke on Truth Social. Literally, his post just
00:00:24.560 said 51st state linking to a Bloomberg article that mentioned that Canada is in a recession.
00:00:31.340 And this apparently is the real thing that the Canadian public should be focused on right now,
00:00:37.760 according to the mainstream media. Check this out. These are the top stories about Canada and
00:00:43.460 the U.S. right now. 51st state, Trump revives threat after Canada slips into recession.
00:00:49.140 Guys, I don't like the joke. You don't like the joke. It's completely unproductive.
00:00:53.640 It's not a threat. 51st state threat. He literally has posted 51st state as a way of mocking Mark Carney, who wants to diversify trade away from the United States for falling into a recession.
00:01:06.180 We have here CP24. Canada is not for sale. Doug Ford fires back a Donald Trump. New York Times, Canada U.S. trade visit starts with another Trump 51st state post.
00:01:17.140 National Post says Trump revised 51st state rhetoric as LeBlanc heads to Washington.
00:01:23.360 The Hill, U.S. ambassador to Canada, shares 51st state post.
00:01:27.020 My goodness, we're so in deep on this story.
00:01:29.000 We are now reporting on the U.S. ambassador sharing a post that Donald Trump made.
00:01:36.140 Now, is it productive for Pete Hoagstra to be sharing this stuff?
00:01:40.520 Obviously not.
00:01:41.880 Pete, I think, is a little bit too, I guess, focused on trying to please Trump with how he, you know,
00:01:47.980 with the way he jabs at Mark Carney and the Canadian government than actually being effective,
00:01:53.820 I do think that he should settle down on this.
00:01:56.440 But the fact that the media is trying to make this the story of the recession
00:02:00.640 proves to you that the media knows where its bread is buttered.
00:02:06.300 They are subsidized by the Canadian government,
00:02:08.420 so if there is a way of completely missing the point of the recession story,
00:02:12.460 they will find a way of missing the point.
00:02:14.180 And so instead of talking about the details of the recession and Mark Carney's denial of it and the liberals basically acting completely nonchalant and saying, well, we've created a few artificial jobs here and there. Who cares that we're in a recession? Instead, we're focusing on a dumb post by Trump and Pete Hoagstra.
00:02:33.860 Great, great stuff, Canadian media. What would we do without you? And in fact, this infected
00:02:41.080 the press conference that Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev did after Mark Carney
00:02:46.500 finally addressed the recession in his own little media scrum this morning. An artificial media
00:02:52.580 scrum, by the way. Mark Carney came up. One person said, oh, Prime Minister, what do you
00:02:58.700 think of the recession? And then he gave a drive by shooting response about how, well, you know,
00:03:03.160 actually we're building a foundation and we're making investments and this is all according to
00:03:07.840 plan. Nobody shrieked out another question about, well, what about this? What about that? What about
00:03:12.620 trade talks? You guys are suddenly running down to Washington, D.C. and New York to signal to
00:03:17.280 Trump that you want to make a trade deal. Does this have to do with the recession? No questions
00:03:20.840 like that. Dead silence. A couple of questions in French, one more in English that had nothing
00:03:25.000 to do with the recession. It was a fake scrum. Probably the media were told you will get one
00:03:31.280 response on the recession, that is it. And if you press them on it, you will never get an answer
00:03:36.460 again from Mark Carney for at least two or three months to your outlet. The media is loyal to the
00:03:41.880 liberals, and so, of course, they basically went along with what Carney wanted them to go along
00:03:48.740 with. You were going to act like stenographers, take in my response, and report it later, no actual
00:03:55.860 critical questions back. But of course, when Pierre Polyev came out to respond to what Mark
00:04:01.540 Carney had said to the media going after the ways that Carney's statement were just objectively
00:04:06.880 wrong when it comes to his, you know, claims that in certain areas, Canada's economy is doing really
00:04:12.100 well, or we're building a foundation, or don't worry, guys. It's just a transitional period
00:04:18.940 right now the Canadian economy is going through. Polyev started off his comments when he walked
00:04:23.580 to the media with that. And of course, the next question, the first question the media asks is
00:04:28.700 about Donald Trump. Guys, it is a joke. Can we stop pretending this isn't a joke? There's no
00:04:43.000 Abrams tanks coming over the border of North Dakota and Manitoba trying to capture Winnipeg.
00:04:49.340 There is no jets flying overhead trying to take out our aircraft on the tarmac.
00:04:56.100 Nothing is happening.
00:04:57.920 It is a joke, not a productive joke.
00:05:01.080 And it's not a productive joke because the media in Canada likes to be stupid,
00:05:05.440 and they will chase squirrels instead of covering the liberal car crash on the economy.
00:05:11.140 They will find any excuse to make it about Trump instead of Mark Carney's overpromising
00:05:16.820 when it comes to what he's going to do for the Canadian economy
00:05:19.520 and completely undershooting it.
00:05:21.660 Not just undershooting it,
00:05:22.720 literally the economy is going in the wrong direction right now.
00:05:26.160 But Aliev is obviously not very impressed with this question,
00:05:29.720 but I actually think his response here is very well done.
00:05:33.460 Now, once again, Joe, I guess, about Canada being the 51st state.
00:05:38.460 It's ridiculous and it's never going to happen.
00:05:40.900 And we have to make sure that we don't allow ridiculous comments like that
00:05:45.860 to distract us from the very real suffering that Canadians are experiencing as a result of
00:05:51.980 liberal policies here at home. The families who can't afford food, the one in four Canadians
00:05:58.060 who are living in food insecurity, they don't want us to be distracted by a foolish comment like that.
00:06:05.220 They want us to focus on reversing the liberal policies that have made them hungry in the first
00:06:09.900 flight. So I thought that was a really good way. And of course, they want his response on the 51st
00:06:15.600 state thing in French too. But I thought that that was a really good, he stuck the landing on that
00:06:20.860 one because again, the media wants him to basically just start talking about Donald Trump so they can
00:06:26.620 run headlines about Polly of condemning Donald Trump and, and Carney and Polly of going after
00:06:32.760 Trump for making these 51st state threats. He said, yes, it's ridiculous. We're not going to
00:06:37.740 be the 51st state, but why are we letting this distract us? The media who has only asked one
00:06:44.720 question to Carney on the recession that he actually answered which was a pretty weak question
00:06:49.220 oh Prime Minister Mark Carney what do you what do you think about the recession and he's like
00:06:53.420 actually guys it's all according to plan and we're actually secretly doing really well
00:06:57.120 no follow-ups but then when Poliev speaks to the media suddenly it's it's follow-up central and
00:07:05.160 we're talking about Donald Trump in the 51st state again I'll just quickly skip through this uh this
00:07:10.080 french question though what are you hoping to see from that what are you hoping to see from that
00:07:17.360 well we haven't seen much so far he's seen so what they just asked is about dominic leblanc our
00:07:23.400 our ministerial trade representative for the u.s is in washington right now talking with the trump
00:07:31.100 administration obviously obviously they're begging them for a trade deal they've waited too long the
00:07:37.320 rot is starting to set in in Canada, and now they need a deal. So with all the rhetoric about Carney
00:07:42.340 saying, I'm not in a hurry to make a deal because I want to make a great deal for Canadians,
00:07:45.840 not a bad deal. Well, we're now going to make a bad deal because he took too long.
00:07:49.880 You know, 2025, Mark Carney, back at the start of the year, said we needed to make a deal by the
00:07:54.780 end of July of 2025. We're going to get into July of 2026 with still no deal because Carney is so
00:08:02.340 terrified of looking like he made any concessions to Trump that he refuses to negotiate at all.
00:08:08.360 I'm sorry, it's a trade deal. There's going to be concessions on both sides if you play your cards
00:08:13.480 right. You're going to get some things you like. You're going to have things that you like that
00:08:17.600 you're not going to get. You're going to have to give some things up. That's just how it works.
00:08:24.140 And if we actually had a strong economy, if we just cut taxes, cut regulations, we just started
00:08:28.600 growing on our own, Trump would actually be in a situation where, hey, Canada's actually
00:08:33.120 potentially going to be able to offset the losses from the tariffs and just trade with everybody
00:08:37.560 else because their economy is really strong after they deregulated and lowered their taxes
00:08:42.120 significantly. So you know what? Okay, I'll make a quicker deal with them because obviously,
00:08:46.980 you know, they actually might not need me. We need them because our economy is so weak because
00:08:51.740 you can't drive an economy, it turns out, in a high tax, high regulation system where we just
00:08:57.840 fill in the gaps of subsidies it's an unfunctional way of growing the economy and now we're so weak
00:09:03.120 we're falling into recession and we're now falling all over ourselves running down to New York and
00:09:08.120 Washington to signal to Trump that hey can we can we have one of those deals that you got going on
00:09:13.160 there with other people and so now we'll skip back to Pierre Polyev's response on what Dominic
00:09:18.480 LeBlanc's trip is accomplishing. Mr LeBlanc's trip what are you hoping to see from that? Well we haven't
00:09:23.700 seen much so far. He seems to go and socialize and come back empty-handed while the Mexicans
00:09:29.120 have been in formal negotiations, eating our lunch for the last six months. I am concerned
00:09:34.240 that Mr. LeBlanc goes down at a time when Mark Carney has led us into the only recession
00:09:40.640 in the G7. And I have a regret that Mr. Carney has created this weakness, going into formal
00:09:47.640 negotiations as the only country in north america that is in a recession um the other two uh north
00:09:55.060 american countries the u.s and mexico they are not in recession canada is because of mark carney
00:10:01.120 so i would ask him to immediately present a plan to reverse the recession that he caused so that
00:10:07.140 we can uh go into these discussions with some strength do you think canadians blame mark carney
00:10:11.640 or do you think they blame mr trump for that recession i hate questions like this well who
00:10:17.460 do you think they blame who should be blamed though that's the question the media should be
00:10:22.960 asking not who do you think canadians are going to blame because they know canadians that vote
00:10:27.500 liberal are predisposed to saying it's trump even though mark carney said that we have the best deal
00:10:33.040 with the americans so in fact relatively we are playing on easy mode compared to the other g7
00:10:39.060 countries other g7 countries are like germany dealing with a gas shortage because of the war
00:10:43.760 in Ukraine. We have France, the UK, Italy, Germany having to live in what has been an economically
00:10:50.780 depressed Europe for a very long time. And they're somehow growing with wars far closer to home and
00:10:56.940 with far higher tariffs. Yes, they trade less with the US, but their tariffs are far higher than the
00:11:02.680 ones that Canada has. Now, obviously, I actually do think that Canada is in a bad position with
00:11:07.640 tariffs. Yes, less of our products are tariffed, but we trade so much with them, it might have
00:11:12.680 more impact on us. But that doesn't matter because it's not what Carney said. Carney
00:11:16.080 said that we have the best deal, so he's in no hurry to try and actually negotiate with
00:11:21.000 Trump. Well, now suddenly the medias are like, oh, is this Trump's fault? Well, Carney
00:11:25.580 said it wasn't Trump's fault, basically. Yes, he always cites the tariffs for our economic
00:11:30.380 weakness, but at the same time he says it's no big deal because we're diversifying trade,
00:11:34.060 so actually joke's on Trump because we're going to do even better without him.
00:11:37.200 you mean the fact that we're the only country in the g7 that's in a recession yes right this is a
00:11:46.340 great little uh this is a great little interaction the person again tries to say is it trump's fault
00:11:51.180 or is it carney's fault and then he just cites the record again he's the only guy in a recession
00:11:55.600 right now yes you could say that trump has been rude to us and they're using their stronger economy
00:12:01.000 to punch our weaker economy every g7 economy outside the u.s is weaker than the united states
00:12:06.240 of course so why are we doing worse mr trump for that recession strength do you think canadians
00:12:12.400 blame mark carney or do you think they blame mr trump for that recession you mean the fact that
00:12:18.400 we're the only country in the g7 that's in a recession yes right so do you do it seems that
00:12:25.840 canadians are laying the blame for their economic troubles with mr trump but you don't agree with
00:12:30.240 well it seems it seems you can't just you can't just throw in it seems out to people out to
00:12:38.000 poly of in your question what are you what poll do you have saying that the people are blaming
00:12:43.020 trump for it now maybe if you pull it people are going to blame trump but people are predisposed
00:12:48.220 to doing that that's not an excuse for shoddy journalism in not investigating if mark carney's
00:12:53.900 actions have made things better or worse maybe you are maybe you are protecting mr carney from
00:12:59.040 his economic record, but here's the reality. Mr. Trump's policies are affecting all G7 countries
00:13:09.740 and none of them are in recession. Mexico shares a border with the United States. Mexico is not
00:13:15.980 in recession. I don't even think Mexico is even a G7 country, by the way. It doesn't have the
00:13:20.120 economic strength to be a G7 country. I think G7 countries are like Japan, Canada, United States,
00:13:26.720 UK, France, Germany, Italy. I think there's actually technically more countries in the G7
00:13:32.300 than just seven. You got my point though. But like Mexico is a economic basket case and they're
00:13:38.700 still somehow growing. And people could say, well, it's because they have cheap labor. So a lot of
00:13:42.560 jobs naturally moved to Mexico. Trump's tariffing them. Trump's tariffing their auto sector and
00:13:47.960 steel and everything like that. And they're somehow still growing. And by the way, there
00:13:51.400 negotiations with Trump. They're playing hardball. Gloria Scheinbaum is playing hardball. She's not
00:13:58.320 being subservient. She's not knuckling under. Now, she has to be friendly in a certain capacity
00:14:03.680 because it's the United States and they're Mexico and the US is the most powerful country on the
00:14:07.260 planet. But they're going into that gladiatorial arena and contending for their country. Carney
00:14:13.100 won't even contend for Canada. And the media, again, is trying to spin this whole thing as
00:14:17.940 being a Trump versus Carney fight, when you actually take a step back, that's not what's
00:14:22.700 going on. And I really like that Poliev is just calling out the very obvious media pivot that is
00:14:28.940 being made. Are affecting all G7 countries, and none of them are in recession. Mexico shares a
00:14:36.500 border with the United States. Mexico is not in recession. Only Canada, under Mark Carney's
00:14:43.020 liberal policies is in a recession. France is not in a recession. UK is not in a recession.
00:14:49.880 Germany is not in a recession. Italy is not in a recession. Japan is not in a recession.
00:14:55.480 Only Canada among G7 countries is in a recession. And only Canada among North American countries
00:15:02.440 is in a recession. So it seems that the other countries, despite Mr. Trump's unfair tariffs,
00:15:08.280 have been able to craft policies to avoid recession.
00:15:12.220 It's only here under Mark Carney's policies
00:15:14.320 that we find ourselves in a recession.
00:15:16.980 What do you think about this?
00:15:18.540 What do you think about this?
00:15:19.560 What do you think about this?
00:15:20.140 What do you think about this?
00:15:20.720 What do you think about this?
00:15:21.600 Mr. Al-Gabra lobbying me.
00:15:23.400 He announced that the council includes Omar Al-Gabra
00:15:26.340 to deal with the issue.
00:15:27.600 Anyway, so now that I think they're moving on
00:15:29.920 to a question about anti-Semitism
00:15:31.200 and Omar Al-Gabra being on some panel dealing with it,
00:15:34.280 even though Algarra is clearly a Muslim Brotherhood guy.
00:15:39.440 I can't put it any other way other than that,
00:15:41.280 but that's a different topic for another day.
00:15:43.800 But yeah, so I know everyone wants,
00:15:46.080 and the funny thing about all this is at the same time,
00:15:48.940 because again, the media without saying,
00:15:50.640 it's also trying to tie peer poly after Trump.
00:15:53.060 Because you oppose Carney,
00:15:55.280 and because Canadians blame Trump for the recession,
00:15:59.040 well, you're kind of on the side of Trump
00:16:02.160 because you're criticizing Mark Carney for sucking at his job. And it's just lame and sad.
00:16:07.960 And I want to now, as a counterpoint to all this, play this interview clip from Vashi Capello's
00:16:14.280 show on CTV News, CTV News Power Play, where she pushes on a liberal commentator on the panel she
00:16:21.700 has here for, again, the fact that Carney went down to New York, spoke in front of the Economist
00:16:27.200 club of new york and said candace strong is going to make america great again and how he's clearly
00:16:32.400 now having to suck up to trump to try and get a trade deal done and using rhetoric that no liberal
00:16:37.640 would ever let a conservative get away with so who's actually here trying to appeal to donald
00:16:42.820 trump who is actually bending over backwards to rhetorically match trump here it's not poly of
00:16:48.160 doing other things we can go at this alone to some extent if we need to is one of the best
00:16:53.140 things that we can do so as he's preparing that issue i think it's the mega yeah i get it it wasn't
00:16:59.000 like get it you know i get it but i think he's in new york he's in the u.s so i think he's trying to
00:17:04.120 say we're going to get our act together we're going to become as strong as possible and then
00:17:07.880 tries to do a cute you know using our two slogans but that's still good for you because like strong
00:17:12.480 canada the problem here is we're not getting our act together that's always the problem with all
00:17:18.640 everything that the liberals say whether it's on news shows like on ctv news or cbc or the liberal
00:17:24.480 mps in question period responding to conservatives you can keep saying we're doing stuff but it's not
00:17:29.840 working and you have to explain why it's not working and you can't say war in iran war in
00:17:35.040 ukraine tariffs because everyone's dealing with that and somehow they're still passing the economic
00:17:41.200 test and we're not we're supposed to be your best ally a strong strong ally like canada is going to
00:17:47.600 be ultimately very beneficial to the u.s so he's trying to marry that together i don't know if it's
00:17:52.400 that big of a of a sort of um a point to focus on but i definitely get the phrasing of maga
00:17:58.320 is different from what he's done in the past i know lisa somewhat agrees with you thanks to i
00:18:01.920 got to hear her analysis over the weekend on that just on the the employing of of the term but i was
00:18:07.040 wondering lisa if you think yeah i i was sort of thinking about you know compared to the last issue
00:18:12.400 the thing that the prime minister always has when it's about the u.s canada is the relative
00:18:17.040 comparison with Trump or the idea that we have Trump on our minds. And it feels like any Canadian
00:18:21.820 politician will get the benefit of the doubt from Canadians for a while when they are up against
00:18:26.520 Trump. Yeah, they will. Of course, I think they will. And no one's really paying that much
00:18:33.120 attention. It's super frustrating for conservatives because, you know, we've been if we
00:18:38.940 were to say something like that, of course, we would be taken to the woodshed. It would not be
00:18:43.140 acceptable and so that's the thing and that's where i actually do like vashi capellos not always
00:18:48.660 good but i think she's the most honest liberal leaning commentator or new show host in the legacy
00:18:54.440 media right now the fact that carney a day before the recession was announced and he obviously knew
00:19:01.200 it was coming out he's the prime minister he knows what probably statistics can is going to say a week
00:19:05.540 in advance he runs down to the new economics club of new york to give a speech where he's trying to
00:19:10.780 appeal to Trump. Now, Dominic LeBlanc is sprinting down to the US when they seemed to have no rocket
00:19:16.740 up their butt previously to go do that. Suddenly, we're running down there. At the same time, we
00:19:21.380 just tripled the streaming tax. Our people are incompetent. And now all we have left, and so
00:19:26.480 you can tell the pivot is sudden and immediate. We just voted to triple the streaming tax.
00:19:32.540 The conservatives voted for a motion to cancel the tripling of it by the CRTC. And then soon
00:19:39.960 after that, recession is announced, and then Dominic LeBlanc sprints down to the US. It's
00:19:45.600 almost like we've been fooling around a lot, and in fact, we do need the United States. Elbows up,
00:19:50.980 does not in fact work. You cannot replace the United States with China, Indonesia, Luxembourg,
00:19:59.540 the EU, and Japan. Great trade partners potentially, except for China. I actually wish we'd trade less
00:20:05.460 with china we we could we should trade more with other countries but we shouldn't trade more with
00:20:10.720 other countries deliberately to trade less with the united states we could have made a trade deal
00:20:15.700 at this point but why but donald trump's not reasonable you can't make you can't trade you
00:20:24.480 can't negotiate with a dictator threatening to annex our country why you don't you don't understand
00:20:31.680 Orange man doesn't want to talk with us, so we shouldn't want to talk with him.
00:20:36.380 He's forcing us to trade with China.
00:20:39.600 Oh, OK. OK. Thanks, idiot.
00:20:42.280 Then why were we promising to get a trade deal with him in the April 2025 election?
00:20:47.620 Why was Carney making that like his big point?
00:20:50.000 Why were we saying that he could like he's dealt with Donald Trump before and he can get a deal with him now and get a great trade deal for Canada?
00:20:57.360 Why were we promising that?
00:20:59.520 Carney should either say he overestimated his ability to negotiate with Trump or he was lying.
00:21:05.320 And then again, he made excuses and he doesn't need one because we're diversifying our trade away.
00:21:09.460 We're already making up for the losses in other ways.
00:21:12.840 So why are we in a recession while other people aren't?
00:21:15.860 And again, don't promise that you can make a deal with somebody if you're then going to make an excuse and say he's unreasonable.
00:21:21.960 Oh, you can't negotiate with them.
00:21:23.540 Oh, and look at all these Maple Maga people criticizing us for not having a deal.
00:21:27.500 It's like, well, you are the one who promised to do it. I don't even know what to say to any of this. But yeah, so the conservatives really need to just keep the fire trained on Carney. There's going to be all these people out there in the woodwork, coming out of the woodwork to basically make this all about Trump and do exactly what what Polyev did.
00:21:47.840 Yes, 51st state comments are dumb, but let's focus on what we can actually do,
00:21:53.820 because Carney has been promising that it doesn't matter if he has a trade deal or not,
00:21:57.320 he's going to deliver us a growing economy.
00:22:00.120 These are posts I made yesterday just tackling the overall kind of recession coverage by the media.
00:22:05.780 I found it just all repulsive.
00:22:07.540 Here is a CP24 headline that says,
00:22:10.300 Polly have accuses Carney of ducking questions about Canada's sluggish economy.
00:22:14.820 And late last night I posted this.
00:22:16.400 I despise headlines like this that make it seem like there's a debate over what a recession is
00:22:22.060 and if if we are in one we are in a recession based on the common definition if a conservative
00:22:27.580 was prime minister the media would rightfully just call would just call it a recession but of
00:22:33.000 course now that Trump's the the president too not only do we get to debate whether we're really in
00:22:36.960 a recession or not we also discuss whether it's Carney's fault or it's actually Donald Trump's
00:22:42.080 fault despite again all of the comments about Carney pretending like it doesn't matter if we
00:22:46.640 have the tariffs on us or not or that he diversifying our trade is going to make up for this
00:22:51.560 or the fact that no other g7 country is in a recession and then I also comment on this one
00:22:56.800 uh this one from uh from cp24 the previous one I was talking about with ctv news my my browser
00:23:04.360 jumped up a little bit so I commented on the wrong one there first uh and then this one this
00:23:09.260 headline from cp24 uh i said that yeah i said the wrong one but anyway so the previous one i was
00:23:15.140 commenting on was asking whether we're in a recession or not this one i said another stupid
00:23:20.000 headline the economy is not sluggish it is literally shrinking not only over the past two
00:23:25.420 quarters but over the last year the last uh combined four as well and saying polyev quote
00:23:31.280 unquote accuses mark carney of ducking questions makes it seem like he could be twisting the truth
00:23:36.300 when that is objectively what is happening. Headlines should read, quote,
00:23:40.880 Polly attacks Mark Carney for ducking debate on Canada's shrinking economy.
00:23:45.260 If a conservative was prime minister, we wouldn't be using all this dumb hedging language. And this
00:23:50.520 is the thing I hate the most. I'm not looking for pro-conservative media. If the legacy media
00:23:56.680 wants to be neutral, then be neutral. And at times, that is going to mean that the headlines
00:24:02.360 are going to lean a little bit towards the conservative narrative. Carney is ducking the
00:24:06.380 media. We played a video in the last video I made of him bolting away from Laura Stone after she
00:24:11.920 asked about the recession and only this morning did he finally address it in an artificial scrum
00:24:16.300 where nobody asked any follow-up questions. He's clearly running from the debate and now the media
00:24:21.040 is trying to just like fortify the liberal defenses with a bunch of 51st state talk so we
00:24:26.500 never actually get over that wall to talk about, well, how is Carney? What is his culpability in
00:24:33.580 all this? To quote Eisenhower, or I think it's Harry Truman, the buck stops here. Prime Minister,
00:24:42.140 the buck stops with you. What are you doing to actually fight for the country? How are you going
00:24:49.120 to go down to Washington and contend for Canada and get a trade deal signed? Glory Scheinbaum
00:24:54.300 hasn't hurt herself by engaging with the Americans trying to get a deal.
00:24:58.380 She's actually made herself more popular in her own country.
00:25:01.340 Because, yes, although she is having to probably make some concessions to the Americans,
00:25:05.540 she can make her own demands.
00:25:07.220 She can fight for Mexico.
00:25:09.000 She can go up there and rhetorically look tough.
00:25:11.760 But Cardi is so scared of looking outplayed by Donald Trump that he refuses to negotiate
00:25:16.960 because he truly believes that he's the sophisticate and Trump is the non-sophisticate.
00:25:23.460 And he refuses to be in a situation that makes him look small compared to Trump.
00:25:27.480 He had a couple Oval Office meetings, but it was a situation where nothing was at stake.
00:25:32.020 Now that things are at stake, he's sending Dominic LeBlanc out there.
00:25:35.480 He's trying to now signal to the Americans that he wants to make a deal,
00:25:40.000 but he's doing so in a very kind of passive, pathetic manner
00:25:43.400 because Carney wants to ask for a deal, but he doesn't know how to
00:25:47.140 because he's, again, terrified of looking weak.
00:25:51.020 But anyways, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching this video.
00:25:54.940 Make sure to like, share, and subscribe.
00:25:57.820 No doubt I'm going to have to cover this topic in the future because the media is going to do the full pivot towards Pete Hoogstra.
00:26:04.340 Should he be the U.S.'s ambassador to Canada after sharing a 50 first date joke?
00:26:10.120 Can we even negotiate with Trump?
00:26:11.900 Is the whole recession Trump's fault?
00:26:14.580 It's going to make me go postal.
00:26:16.080 But, you know, what can you do?
00:26:17.340 Anyways, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching, and I'll see you all later.
