Mark Carney is running for the Liberal leadership of Canada, and yet he's being kept in the dark about what's going on in the government while he's running for prime minister. This should be illegal, and I'm calling for an ethics investigation.
00:00:00.000In my opinion, what Mark Carney is currently doing while running for liberal leadership should be illegal or at the very least trigger an ethics investigation.
00:00:10.740Mark Carney has never been elected to anything in Canada.
00:00:14.800He has never been a city councillor, an MLA, an MP, nothing.
00:00:19.840And yet he is basically being treated like he is already the prime minister.
00:00:23.980This should be illegal in the sense that why are cabinet ministers briefing him on a daily basis on what's going on with trade issues with the U.S. when he has no actual power?
00:00:39.420And yet Trudeau's team seems to be completely angling this leadership to determine who's going to be the next prime minister or Mark Carney and preemptively treating him like he's already won, which obviously also warps the entire race.
00:00:54.120Because when you're basically already doing the job as prime minister, well, it makes it more likely that people in the liberal party are going to vote for you to be the prime minister because you're already the de facto guy.
00:01:06.300I'm going to play you this clip in just a second.
00:01:39.660What exactly are those conversations like?
00:01:42.420Well, I'm just to be clear, fully support the exceptional work of our foreign minister, Melanie Joly, our finance minister, Dominic LeBlanc, public safety minister, David McGinty, industry minister, Francois-Philippe Champagne and all the ministers.
00:02:00.520So there's a huge Team Canada effort going on.
00:02:10.780And particularly with respect to where we go from here, the next phase of potential discussions that are likely to extend beyond the month of February and well into the spring.
00:02:24.760Why is he being informed on long-term plans or day-to-day stuff that the ministers are doing?
00:02:31.180I would understand if Karina Gould is being briefed because she is running for leadership, but she's also a cabinet minister herself.
00:02:39.740Obviously, you can't keep a cabinet minister in the dark while they're running for the leadership.
00:02:44.180But Carney has just as much authority to be briefed as Frank Bayliss, as Ruby Dalla, as Chrystia Freeland.
00:02:54.980Chrystia Freeland, I guarantee, is being kept in the dark.
00:02:58.040But this is why I think that either this should be illegal, that while you're not actually in office, you cannot receive daily briefings.
00:03:05.460Obviously, if you know a cabinet minister, it's not illegal for them to tell you something.
00:03:09.260But the fact that the prime minister's office is basically treating you as if you're a decision maker when you literally don't have any authority, that should be something where there's a fine associated with it.
00:03:21.120There should be an ethics investigation to say, is the government basically trying to warp an internal party election to determine who's going to be the prime minister for this random unelected guy?
00:03:32.580This is what kind of people mean when they have problems with the influence of organizations like the United Nations and the World Economic Forum.
00:03:42.240It's that any outside organization, especially an international organization that has nothing to do with Canada on a fundamental level, that they shouldn't be having a direct ear to people in the government.
00:03:53.720Obviously, people have friends, but obviously, all your friends are not all overseas, and they all happen to be these proto-socialists over at the WF.
00:04:03.080And this is what's going on with Carney right now.
00:04:05.560Why is this guy just in the cabinet, effectively?
00:04:08.960I know he used to be an advisor to Justin Trudeau, but even that was sketchy.
00:04:13.260Why is he effectively overruling Chrystia Freeland when she's the finance minister?
00:04:17.960I guess I don't mind if Freeland gets overruled as finance minister, but you'd have to debate whether or not Carney or Freeland would make a worse finance minister.
00:04:27.360I'm not saying Freeland's untouchable at her job and she's good.
00:04:31.960But it would be nice if the person who's literally in the finance minister's role would be the person actually making financial decisions with the prime minister.
00:04:41.540But in Canada, everything is so bureaucratic-run or so influencer-run.
00:04:47.240There's a lot of international influencers like Mark Carney telling the government what to do.
00:04:51.960And now that he's running for leadership, he's just kind of able to act as if he's already sitting in Justin Trudeau's chair.
00:04:59.600Which goes to my thesis that Mark Carney is just Justin Trudeau's fourth term in office.
00:05:05.940Because Trudeau and his people know that there's no way for them to win with Trudeau still helming the party into the 2025 federal election.
00:05:41.660At the same time, you know, he's also probably at least politically savvy in knowing how to push on certain pressure points.
00:05:49.480But again, this is something where we probably need a law passed that bars people who are not actually in the government from getting this up to date.
00:06:00.300A one-for-one similar briefing to cabinet ministers is not okay.
00:06:05.780Anyways, here's something else he said during this press conference.
00:06:08.560This is where I don't understand why liberals think this is the guy who's going to somehow fix their polling.
00:06:13.880He's so out of touch with where the average Canadian is right now on fiscal issues and social issues, he thinks that woke is still a good thing.
00:06:25.160When in fact, being a woke politician is why Justin Trudeau ended up going down in flames in terms of his popularity.
00:06:31.700He was so in a woke bubble, he didn't realize when his policies were completely out of step with the average Canadian who just wanted to be able to do their own thing again.
00:06:40.180And didn't want a government mind or looking over their shoulder, especially when it came to their social life.
00:06:46.560Now, the one thing I've learned over the many years of managing crises is that plan beats no plan.
00:06:55.760Plans create focus, discipline, and the energy that major changes the crisis demands.
00:07:04.100And make no mistake, we are in a crisis.
00:07:07.720We can do little to change the external forces that are causing it, but we can act as Canadians.
00:07:55.600But there is this weird liberal condition where, for some reason, you have to constantly attack Donald Trump and the MAGA people when it doesn't help us at all.
00:08:08.840Does it appeal to a certain Eastern Canadian or, like, person in downtown Vancouver who wants to define what it is to be Canadian as being not American?
00:08:20.020But when actual jobs are on the line and when relationships are on the line and we are just saying it, the weaker power between the two, maybe shut your mouth when we are talking about the United States unless you're going to say something neutral or nice.
00:08:36.180Because that is Canada's, you know, biggest ally.
00:08:42.000He's going to go into all the Trump's anti-woke and that makes some bad stuff.
00:08:45.740While America engages in a war on woke, Canadians will continue to value inclusiveness.
00:08:54.600While America shuns the vulnerable, we will continue to show solidarity with one another.
00:09:01.080What does he mean by inclusiveness and the vulnerable?
00:09:04.820Is he talking about illegal immigrants?
00:09:06.860Because I am not signing up to a new prime minister who doesn't want to remove people who shouldn't be here.
00:09:13.440Because do you think that Mark Carney is ever going to actually expel someone who overstays a visa or even if they get caught committing a criminal act, have them deported?
00:09:49.400At the same time, the idea that we always, again, the liberal need to be the opposite of Trump is why these people are not popular at all.
00:09:58.140And as a conservative, I'm fine with it if they want to scuff this next election as hard as possible.
00:10:03.220But at some point, the liberals do need to come back down to earth and stop just being the not-Trump people, especially when you're not in the United States.
00:10:12.020While America attempts to turn back the clock, Canadians will build sustainability for future generations.
00:10:20.000That's why they're way ahead of us on every single economic metric, because we're so ahead of them.
00:10:53.800Mark Carney is one of the most boring humans on the planet.
00:10:57.440It is bad for your health to watch him for more than five minutes at a time without pausing, because the biggest flaw to his campaign, on top of the fact that he's just unapologetically woke at a time where people are so tired of it, on top of the fact that he's a central banking elitist,
00:11:15.220on top of the fact that he's in favor of central bank digital currency and all this stuff.
00:11:19.220He is Mr. Central Bank Digital Currency.
00:11:21.620On top of all that stuff being extremely unpopular right now, he is just a boring human being.
00:11:35.060We're going to grab that brass ring and bring Canada to new heights, because we are not going to be turning back the clock.
00:11:43.860It's like, Mark, prick yourself in the cheeks to bring some color back to your face and act like you care.
00:11:52.000It's almost like he knows that he's already the prime minister and the entire leadership is a formality, because he is not campaigning like he actually fears Chrystia Freeland or Ruby Dalla or Frank Bayless or Karina Gould.
00:12:05.280I still think he could lose this thing, and it demonstrates the hubris of him, but my goodness, the energy just demonstrates the contempt for the actual voting process.
00:12:15.460And that's one thing that is not very popular in elections, entitlement.
00:12:19.820That is where I've even seen good politicians go down to flaming defeat when they think that people should just be re-electing me because I'm very good at my job.
00:12:27.800Maybe they are, but acting like that is a great way of getting absolutely slaughtered at the polls.
00:12:33.460Anyways, that should be mostly it for me today, guys.
00:13:23.420I gave him a little bit of information about how Mark Carney is in favor of CBDCs.
00:13:28.300I actually was the original person with the other people at the National Telegraph to get Pure Poly of to add a plank to his leadership platform in 2022 that he has carried forward into his actual leadership of the party to ban central bank digital currencies.
00:13:44.120And I think it is such a gaping attack line on Mark Carney that he is in favor of central bank digital currencies.
00:13:52.660I have found an article where he was advocating for it, saying, well, if the government doesn't do this and heavily regulate a stable coin, which is what a digital currency would be, if the government doesn't do it, then big tech's going to do it.
00:14:22.460A central bank digital currency is like a gaping privacy violation.
00:14:26.200It is just the government, like you are begging for the government to freeze your bank account over something stupid or tax you extra because you bought products the government doesn't like if you end up approving a CBDC.
00:14:38.700I saw an article where Mark Carney was quoted advocating for why CBDCs would be good.
00:14:43.540And then they quoted another central banker who was like proposed like they asked them about CBDCs.
00:14:50.640He is a full on, you know, Keynesian central banker.
