00:00:03.060
Like I predicted in yesterday's video, Prime Minister Mark Carney is about to have his approval ratings sync quite fast.
00:00:11.700
I think a lot of Canadians may have forgiven Carney for not getting a trade deal signed on time,
00:00:17.200
because there's just a lot of anti-Trump sentiment in Canada,
00:00:20.500
which means a lot of Canadians are going to be predisposed to blaming Trump for a deal not being signed.
00:00:25.440
But now, in the aftermath of Carney, instead of getting a trade deal signed,
00:00:31.080
recognizing a terror state in the Middle East, you're going to get a lot of Canadians reversing course on Carney.
00:00:37.980
Not like most people who are currently approving of him,
00:00:41.120
but enough that he's going to sink back into the sort of numbers that Trudeau's liberal government had in 2022 and 2023.
00:00:49.000
Not the sort of crisis numbers that Trudeau had in December of 2024,
00:00:53.400
but really mediocre, maybe leading the Conservatives in some polls and other polls trailing.
00:01:00.000
I predict that's what we're going to start seeing in the next couple of months.
00:01:04.560
Remember when Mark Carney was supposed to be the adult in the room,
00:01:07.760
the man we should give a four-year term to because he was going to lead Canada through a crisis?
00:01:12.540
And don't worry, he's dealt with men like Donald Trump before, and he knows how to negotiate.
00:01:17.160
And apparently, instead of actually negotiating a trade deal,
00:01:21.600
we are harassing musicians from the United States trying to tour in Canada,
00:01:26.580
and again, we're recognizing a terror state in the Middle East.
00:01:33.140
Gaza is run by Hamas, and the West Bank is run by the Palestinian Authority,
00:01:41.220
Yes, the Palestinian Authority is more of a government,
00:01:44.300
but their military wing is Fatah, who pays people to kill Jews in Israel.
00:01:52.060
And now, Donald Trump is reasonably upset with Canada.
00:01:57.820
I'm not going to negotiate with Canada now on trade because of this really stupid move,
00:02:03.620
because this is undermining both the United States and Israel in the Middle East.
00:02:12.460
I can tell you've dealt with people like Donald Trump before.
00:02:16.140
Way more people needed to pay attention to Carney's performance as Justin Trudeau's economic advisor.
00:02:23.320
I know that doesn't exactly have to do with the present situation,
00:02:26.500
but he was the economic advisor for five years for Trudeau,
00:02:30.660
and everything sucked the last five years of Trudeau's term.
00:02:34.880
It was all bad, to be clear, with Justin Trudeau,
00:02:38.200
but if you were to demarcate when it got really bad,
00:02:44.000
and started giving economic advice to Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland,
00:02:52.320
I want to get into some of the details of what's going on here in just a second,
00:02:58.200
hey, if you like the show, make sure to like this video,
00:03:03.300
We are trying to get to 100,000 subscribers by mid-December of this year,
00:03:08.500
so please subscribe so I don't owe my friends dinner in December.
00:03:12.840
And also, make sure to comment if you have any thoughts on the topic.
00:03:17.360
I do like to read through and see what people think,
00:03:24.780
Again, instead of announcing, we have a trade deal signed
00:03:31.900
This is deeply required because something something Israel bad or whatever
00:03:35.740
because there was a photo of someone in Yemen starving
00:03:43.880
it's the fault of the terrorist group holding them hostage,
00:03:46.920
not the country who ships in 10 million meals since May.
00:03:52.340
Israel has sent in 10 million meals worth of food into the Gaza Strip,
00:03:58.320
and they are distributing it directly to civilians
00:04:00.540
rather than letting Hamas steal it and just giving it to their fighters.
00:04:06.420
Canada intends to recognize the state of Palestine
00:04:09.020
at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025.
00:04:16.460
This intention is predicated on the Palestinian Authority's commitment
00:04:21.600
Any path to lasting peace for Israel also requires
00:04:28.200
and one that recognizes Israel's inalienable right to security and peace.
00:04:39.100
just on the idea that the Palestinian Authority may pursue reforms?
00:04:46.180
May pursue reforms means no reforms have yet been made,
00:04:50.380
You know, a group, again, that has a literal pay-for-slave program
00:04:55.280
where if your son goes to Israel and stabs a Jewish child to death,
00:05:00.300
your family gets a pension if they go to prison or die.
00:05:06.380
It sounds like we should trust those guys to make much-needed reforms.
00:05:10.140
But again, let's not get lost in the sauce when it comes to the Middle East.
00:05:18.380
Canada has very little impact on the Middle East.
00:05:20.600
But should also raise the question, why are we sounding off about it?
00:05:23.680
Unless it's just Carney trying to signal to his very progressive base
00:05:30.800
Carney, like I said on the whiteboard yesterday,
00:05:33.380
is more scared of losing the far-left flank he's inherited from Jagmeet Singh's incompetence
00:05:39.220
than he is scared of losing some of the boomer-age crossover conservative voters
00:05:47.640
I know if you're above the age of 60 and you voted in this last election,
00:05:51.860
if you're watching this channel, I know you probably voted conservative.
00:05:54.420
But that was the group that the liberals overperformed with
00:05:57.660
when in previous elections the conservatives did far better.
00:06:01.500
Conservatives ended up kind of flip-flopping with the liberals.
00:06:04.160
They did much better with people under the age of 40.
00:06:07.380
And the liberals did much better with people above the age of 55.
00:06:11.340
But anyways, let's look at some of the other stuff going on here.
00:06:15.760
Because I really don't want to hear any more from people who are basically saying,
00:06:22.100
why are you criticizing the Canadian government?
00:06:24.080
Don't you want Canada to succeed in these trade negotiations?
00:06:26.820
And there are people who I think have a good heart,
00:06:30.940
whose minds are in the general right place that they want Canada to succeed,
00:06:37.200
I'm not fragging our own side by criticizing Canada's stance on trade negotiations.
00:06:42.760
I am pointing out that we are going about this in such a way we will inevitably fail,
00:06:49.480
So this is what Donald Trump said in response to Carney's announcement
00:06:54.320
that he both said at a press conference and then posted later on X.
00:07:00.360
wow, Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine.
00:07:04.940
That will make it very hard for us to make a trade deal with them.
00:07:12.500
well, Trump was just looking for an excuse to exit the trade talks
00:07:15.500
because he's untrustworthy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:17.880
I noticed every time people tell me that Trump is untrustworthy,
00:07:25.060
Conveniently, he would have already done the thing,
00:07:29.880
You know, we screw up something, but he would have just walked away anyways.
00:07:36.220
Well, it's hard to say that when we're always the ones who screw up
00:07:41.100
I haven't seen him do it anyways in a situation where we were doing the right thing.
00:07:45.700
And by the way, the trade talks were already so screwed by this point.
00:07:51.520
We were not willing to talk about supply management.
00:07:54.540
The main thing that Trump wanted at least softened
00:07:57.460
so that some American dairy farmers and chicken farmers could send product into Canada.
00:08:02.700
In fact, getting rid of supply management, as I've said in other videos,
00:08:07.560
Yes, some Canadian farmers' profitability would go down,
00:08:10.860
but it's because the current system helps a select few
00:08:13.660
while alienating or keeping a lot of other farmers out of the system.
00:08:17.920
Alberta, 12% of the population, only 7% of the supply management quota.
00:08:23.340
So, you know, take that into account if anyone tells you that we need it
00:08:26.700
or else our agricultural industry is going to fail.
00:08:29.700
Well, apparently it doesn't matter if Alberta's agricultural industry underperforms,
00:08:36.680
But we were already not doing well in this trade negotiations
00:08:39.520
because we weren't willing to actually put anything on the table to get a better deal.
00:08:43.620
And we're not even willing to make really any threats
00:08:48.340
We have more than 10% of the population of the United States,
00:08:51.680
but our economy has the strength of less than 10% of the United States' economy.
00:08:59.060
This is rumored, but based on all the other rumors that have come true
00:09:02.980
about what they were saying and doing, I assume this is correct.
00:09:06.140
Instead of trying to negotiate a very quick trade deal,
00:09:11.560
but the tariff rate has to go to only 5% or something like that.
00:09:17.860
we were trying to renegotiate USMCA, which is stupid.
00:09:27.680
which is going to require another deal be signed somewhere else.
00:09:33.220
It's like you didn't finish your actual project for a class in university.
00:09:39.100
And two days before the deadline, you ask your professor,
00:09:44.820
but how about you wait a week and I'll actually write two essays for you?
00:09:54.780
is the lefty or weak conservative response to this.
00:10:01.260
And when I say weak conservative, I mean the sorts of people like Andrew Coyne.
00:10:05.040
Brian Lilly says, anyone paying attention could have predicted this.
00:10:08.200
Mark Carney, the Trump whisperer strikes again.
00:10:10.820
We were close to a deal two months ago and will now head into August
00:10:16.720
And in response to Brian Lilly pointing out this very common sense thing,
00:10:23.040
A, either we are a country with independent foreign policy or a basal state.
00:10:28.260
Canadians have made it clear throughout our history, which they prefer.
00:10:34.100
It's like, again, it's that, well, it doesn't matter
00:10:40.680
You know, he's probably fibbing about pulling out of the deal
00:10:43.720
or he would have pulled out of the deal anyways.
00:10:45.540
Guys, okay, we do have independent foreign policy,
00:10:50.560
but America also has independent foreign policy
00:10:57.160
Nothing is truly independent on the world stage
00:11:00.280
in the sense that your decisions affect other people
00:11:03.440
and then your decisions make them make other decisions.
00:11:07.060
But for some reason, we think that our decisions should be made in a vacuum.
00:11:10.780
We come out and say something stupid about recognizing a terror state
00:11:14.480
and the Americans are just supposed to nod and say,
00:11:16.300
Oh, okay, well, let's get back to talking about trade.
00:11:24.340
Countries around the world trying to enable a terror state is a bad thing,
00:11:29.520
when we have not been exactly acting in good faith.
00:11:35.120
That's why I'm criticizing the government on this front.
00:11:46.840
to what Brian Lilly posted about what Trump posted.
00:11:50.900
This guy, Peter Ratcliffe, Forever Canadian, says,
00:11:53.460
Brian Lilly, a political eunuch working for a U.S. hedge fund-owned paper,
00:11:58.400
wishes to allow the U.S. to dictate Canada's foreign and fiscal policy.
00:12:03.800
and we should not respond to political or economic blackmail from the U.S. or Brian Lilly.
00:12:09.240
Now, this is hilarious because people like Peter Ratcliffe,
00:12:14.960
lefties in the media, the Toronto Star, the CBC,
00:12:21.740
can't get enough of talking about the United States.
00:12:24.760
Every Trump decision is actually fascism coming to America,
00:12:28.500
and Canada needs to stop trading so much with America,
00:12:37.280
We constantly try and police what other countries do.
00:12:41.520
We constantly try and make moral decisions about what we think about that.
00:12:47.520
We should say, hey, Equatorial Guinea just killed a bunch of people.
00:12:51.020
Maybe we shouldn't talk to Equatorial Guinea anymore.
00:12:53.760
The problem is that Canada is being hypocritical.
00:12:57.560
At the same time, we also have, like, no moral compass.
00:13:07.980
or it's, like, some other institution in the Canadian government,
00:13:17.460
that you can't go first to Florida and then to the entire United States
00:13:24.540
Because men, biological men, cannot compete in women's sports,
00:13:33.620
If you're trans, you can't go to the United States
00:13:36.120
because you may not be able to compete in biological women's sports
00:13:41.740
That's stuff that we've been doing to the United States.
00:13:44.100
But then you get all these people starting to chirp the U.S.
00:13:49.980
We tell our tourists not to go there because of this current situation.
00:14:00.900
It is countries making judgments of their own on things we have done.
00:14:12.620
There's some things I'm looking at that I don't want to talk about yet
00:14:15.480
because I know there is going to, I want to talk about in a separate video.
00:14:19.020
This was the statement that Mark Carney released.
00:14:24.720
Mark Carney, Canada has long committed to a two-state solution,
00:14:27.980
an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state
00:14:30.720
living side by side with the state of Israel in peace and security.
00:14:34.940
My statement on Canada's recognition of a Palestinian state.
00:14:37.520
We may as well recognize Atlantis and say that we should be able to live in peace and harmony with Atlantis
00:14:44.660
because at least Atlantis being a fictitious place, we could technically create something called Atlantis.
00:14:50.760
And currently, Atlantis is not trying to attack other countries with, you know, explosive vests and launching rockets into them.
00:14:57.880
At least Atlantis being a fictitious place is not a terror state.
00:15:03.720
A sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the state of Israel in peace and security.
00:15:10.700
But regardless, again, this is all, it doesn't matter if it was this or us getting involved in stuff between India and Pakistan
00:15:20.160
or us getting involved in stuff between, you know, whatever is going on in South America.
00:15:25.540
It would be foolish for us to sound off about anything right now when we are not really a foreign policy player
00:15:32.040
and now we're going on and stepping on Donald Trump's toes
00:15:35.000
and expecting that that's not going to have trade repercussions.
00:15:37.900
And again, the hypocrisy here is everyone says, well, Trump should just deal with it.
00:15:42.400
Trump shouldn't respond to us, but we respond to him all the time.
00:15:46.900
Apparently, he's the only one who has to hold himself back, but everyone else doesn't.
00:15:53.180
This is more so, again, I just want to talk about this because it's so telling.
00:16:00.900
This is something that Josh from the Elevate podcast posted.
00:16:10.820
almost 600 foreign nationals with criminal records due to be deported are missing.
00:16:16.880
But do you remember the Minister of Immigration telling us they'll all just leave?
00:16:21.200
And so, yeah, you can see the headline there from the Globe and Mail.
00:16:27.740
It's not some random person saying that it's true.
00:16:30.380
It's the government institutions itself saying it's true.
00:16:33.360
We can't even get rid of people with criminal records that we've already identified from our country.
00:16:43.260
We have a massive deficit while we have supposedly the Goldman Sachs banker running the show.
00:16:49.720
This is why I called Mark Carney during the election and people would mock it.
00:16:55.360
And partially I was trying to get under people's skin to prove a point.
00:17:01.060
Because when you actually look at all of his political instincts, they're all very much to the left.
00:17:08.900
They are not, you know, corporate banker values.
00:17:13.380
I would prefer, even if I don't love corporate banker values, I would rather have that than what we currently have.
00:17:20.280
And obviously what I would really like is just small government, you know, socially conservative values.
00:17:26.060
But even if it was like a corporate, you know, socially progressive values, but at least maybe the fiscal side of it's going to be good, I would way rather have that right now.
00:17:35.680
That's what Carney advertised himself as, but he's just not that thing.
00:17:41.900
People can look at his record as the governor of the Bank of England.
00:17:46.460
People can look at his record as the advisor of Justin Trudeau.
00:17:50.100
Any success he's had, like the governor of the Bank of Canada during the housing crisis in 2008 that Canada weathered really well, he only did well during that because he listened to Jim Flaherty.
00:18:03.540
He listened to then Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and he implemented what they told him to implement.
00:18:10.020
And then he got a really big head, and then he went to be the governor of the Bank of England and decided that he actually knows everything.
00:18:16.940
And he started trying to tell the government as the Bank of England governor what they should be doing in order to match his policy priorities, and it didn't do very well.
00:18:26.260
They had massive inflation because, in fact, he did the reverse of what he did as the governor of the Bank of Canada in England because he knows everything now, and he actually very much appreciates the politics and economics of Karl Marx, who he positively name checks in his book Values.
00:18:42.740
Not, like, gushing and that's his hero, but he has interesting ideas, apparently.
00:18:49.400
Okay, so we don't get anything, we don't get any nice things in Canada, but we do get recognition of a Palestinian terror state.
00:18:55.680
So I hope that Yves Angler, the guy running for NDP leadership right now, is very tickled by all of this.
00:19:01.840
He'll probably somehow still find a reason that this isn't good enough because the far left is never satisfied, but for some reason, the carny liberals are trying to satisfy the far left.
00:19:16.520
Let's even just bring in the whiteboard for the fun of it, live on camera.
00:19:20.920
I talked about this in the innovative research poll that we talked about yesterday.
00:19:25.500
I think it was around, it was like, right now, in terms of the direction of the country, 56, it might have been 53, but I'm just going to say 56.
00:19:36.100
56% of people think that Mark Carney is currently putting the country in the right direction.
00:19:43.240
Now, two years into a term, that's a very good stat.
00:19:46.660
More than half people think you're doing a good job in putting the country in the right direction in your second year of your term.
00:19:53.060
Great work, because your honeymoon, the honeymoon is worn off.
00:19:56.680
People aren't just going to think nice things of you because you're new.
00:20:01.920
And Carney, just a little over two months in, this is not a good stat, just a couple months in.
00:20:11.820
But you actually, it then breaks down further into people who think we're, like, solidly in the right direction and we're somewhat doing the right thing.
00:20:19.680
Solidly is, it's whatever the other number is, but in terms of people who think we are strongly going in the right direction,
00:20:27.180
and sorry, I need to move the microphone over here so I'm not turning away from it.
00:20:30.700
It was only, of people who think we're actually doing a really, really good job, not just somewhat of a good job, it was only 17%.
00:20:39.440
So we have about 17% of people who will not abandon Mark Carney in the aftermath of this,
00:20:48.780
which when you take that as a percentage of people who voted liberal in this last election, 43%, is not fantastic.
00:20:56.260
It's, like, about 40% of liberal voters are solidly with Mark Carney at all times.
00:21:02.860
The other group of people, when you take this out, like 39%, are somewhat in favor.
00:21:08.760
Do you think that he is going to retain that 39% of people think he's doing a great job after this screw-up, after the Palestinian state and trade fiasco?
00:21:17.820
Not a chance. Doesn't mean he's going to lose all of them, but if he even loses 5% of them, if he even loses 6%,
00:21:24.260
he's now down to just half of what he currently has in terms of approval in that direction.
00:21:30.160
And if he loses any more than that, he has, like, less than half the country thinking he's doing a great job.
00:21:34.580
And that's not fantastic, considering we are now ineffectively a two-party system in Canada because of the collapse of the NDP.
00:21:44.720
So if you're running less than half with the NDP and the Greens still taking some of your vote, goodness, that's not great.
00:21:52.280
That's not a great look for the Liberals going into whenever the next election is going to happen.
00:21:57.300
And at this rate, I don't think Carney is going to want one sooner than later,
00:22:00.720
because Pierre Pauly is doing a good job stabilizing himself, taking more conservative positions as time goes on.
00:22:07.140
He's learned his lesson from the election, in my opinion, although he should fire Jenny Burns.
00:22:20.060
He's becoming more hawkish on fiscal issues, more hawkish on social issues.
00:22:24.060
Great, because the problem for the conservatives in the general election is that they started thinking
00:22:29.260
that we can just go soft, let the Liberals collapse, and then we'll take over.
00:22:33.300
It's like, but the Liberals were on the upswing when Carney took over.
00:22:38.400
You can't just assume that they're just going to give up and give you the government.
00:22:46.100
The conservatives need to learn how to win elections, not wait for the Liberals to lose the elections.
00:22:52.760
Because you're never going to win if you're just hoping the other guy screws up.
00:22:56.020
Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys.
00:23:02.480
Hopefully, you'll like me bringing in the whiteboard once in a while.
00:23:05.540
I know a lot of people are saying every time I turn to the whiteboard, the audio went quiet.
00:23:13.080
And I should plug the microphone in on the right side every time I'm using the board.
00:23:19.100
So even if I turn my body, I'm turning my body still towards the microphone.
00:23:24.220
A little bit of housekeeping there on that front.
