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.

00:00:00.000 In 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.
00:00:10.740 Mark Carney has never been elected to anything in Canada.
00:00:14.800 He has never been a city councillor, an MLA, an MP, nothing.
00:00:19.840 And yet he is basically being treated like he is already the prime minister.
00:00:23.980 This 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?
00:00:37.880 He has no authority in this country.
00:00:39.420 And 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.
00:00:54.120 Because 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.
00:01:06.300 I'm going to play you this clip in just a second.
00:01:08.400 It's absolutely insane.
00:01:10.440 But before we get into that, guys, remember to like the video, leave a comment.
00:01:14.420 And if you're not yet a subscriber to the National Telegraph, make sure to go down and hit that subscribe button.
00:01:19.840 We're trying to get to 100,000 new subscribers by the end of the year.
00:01:23.900 But without further ado, here is Mark Carney talking to the press at a press conference just this morning.
00:01:30.960 And you say you've been speaking with ministers about tariffs.
00:01:35.180 What advice are you giving them?
00:01:36.900 Are you giving briefings?
00:01:39.660 What exactly are those conversations like?
00:01:42.420 Well, 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.
00:02:00.520 So there's a huge Team Canada effort going on.
00:02:03.320 So they keep me informed, kindly.
00:02:08.540 I provide some perspective on that.
00:02:10.780 And 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.
00:02:24.760 Why is he being informed on long-term plans or day-to-day stuff that the ministers are doing?
00:02:31.180 I would understand if Karina Gould is being briefed because she is running for leadership, but she's also a cabinet minister herself.
00:02:39.740 Obviously, you can't keep a cabinet minister in the dark while they're running for the leadership.
00:02:44.180 But Carney has just as much authority to be briefed as Frank Bayliss, as Ruby Dalla, as Chrystia Freeland.
00:02:54.980 Chrystia Freeland, I guarantee, is being kept in the dark.
00:02:58.040 But this is why I think that either this should be illegal, that while you're not actually in office, you cannot receive daily briefings.
00:03:05.460 Obviously, if you know a cabinet minister, it's not illegal for them to tell you something.
00:03:09.260 But 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.
00:03:21.120 There 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?
00:03:32.580 This is what kind of people mean when they have problems with the influence of organizations like the United Nations and the World Economic Forum.
00:03:42.240 It'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.
00:03:53.720 Obviously, 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.
00:04:03.080 And this is what's going on with Carney right now.
00:04:05.560 Why is this guy just in the cabinet, effectively?
00:04:08.960 I know he used to be an advisor to Justin Trudeau, but even that was sketchy.
00:04:13.260 Why is he effectively overruling Chrystia Freeland when she's the finance minister?
00:04:17.960 I 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.
00:04:27.360 I'm not saying Freeland's untouchable at her job and she's good. 0.97
00:04:30.680 She sucks at her job. 1.00
00:04:31.960 But 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. 0.99
00:04:41.540 But in Canada, everything is so bureaucratic-run or so influencer-run.
00:04:47.240 There's a lot of international influencers like Mark Carney telling the government what to do.
00:04:51.960 And 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.
00:04:59.600 Which goes to my thesis that Mark Carney is just Justin Trudeau's fourth term in office.
00:05:05.940 Because 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.
00:05:14.020 Look at the polls.
00:05:14.920 They're still not going to win, like, you know, spoiler alert.
00:05:18.020 But to add legitimacy, they're throwing in a new guy, but he's still basically doing everything that Justin Trudeau wants.
00:05:25.920 It's probably because a lot of Team Trudeau wouldn't be backing Mark Carney without the blessing of Justin Trudeau.
00:05:32.260 Because you can tell if Justin Trudeau didn't want Mark Carney as the leader, he could throw a wrench in the guy's spokes right now.
00:05:39.480 Justin Trudeau might be incompetent.
00:05:41.660 At the same time, you know, he's also probably at least politically savvy in knowing how to push on certain pressure points.
00:05:49.480 But 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.
00:06:00.300 A one-for-one similar briefing to cabinet ministers is not okay.
00:06:05.780 Anyways, here's something else he said during this press conference.
00:06:08.560 This is where I don't understand why liberals think this is the guy who's going to somehow fix their polling.
00:06:13.880 He'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.
00:06:23.260 And that's going to win him votes.
00:06:25.160 When in fact, being a woke politician is why Justin Trudeau ended up going down in flames in terms of his popularity.
00:06:31.700 He 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.
00:06:40.180 And didn't want a government mind or looking over their shoulder, especially when it came to their social life.
00:06:46.560 Now, the one thing I've learned over the many years of managing crises is that plan beats no plan.
00:06:55.760 Plans create focus, discipline, and the energy that major changes the crisis demands.
00:07:04.100 And make no mistake, we are in a crisis.
00:07:07.720 We can do little to change the external forces that are causing it, but we can act as Canadians.
00:07:16.220 There's a fever gripping America.
00:07:19.240 And while it rages, Canadians will remain resolute and true to our values.
00:07:25.620 Honestly, what a horrible comment to make.
00:07:28.940 You're running to be the Prime Minister of Canada.
00:07:30.900 We just had a contentious trade situation with the United States over issues of border security and defense spending.
00:07:39.080 And now you're saying there is a fever gripping America.
00:07:41.680 There is a sickness gripping America.
00:07:44.580 Yeah.
00:07:45.320 I'm sure he's going to be very popular with the United States administration.
00:07:50.100 And I don't need Canadian leaders to be trying to pander to the U.S.
00:07:54.020 They shouldn't.
00:07:55.600 But 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.
00:08:06.780 In fact, it's counterproductive.
00:08:08.840 Does 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?
00:08:18.680 Sure.
00:08:20.020 But 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.
00:08:36.180 Because that is Canada's, you know, biggest ally.
00:08:41.080 But whatever.
00:08:42.000 He's going to go into all the Trump's anti-woke and that makes some bad stuff.
00:08:45.740 While America engages in a war on woke, Canadians will continue to value inclusiveness.
00:08:54.600 While America shuns the vulnerable, we will continue to show solidarity with one another.
00:09:01.080 What does he mean by inclusiveness and the vulnerable?
00:09:04.820 Is he talking about illegal immigrants?
00:09:06.860 Because I am not signing up to a new prime minister who doesn't want to remove people who shouldn't be here.
00:09:13.440 Because 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?
00:09:22.880 No, not a chance.
00:09:24.400 Imagine actually saying, well, the U.S. fights a war on woke.
00:09:27.540 We're going to keep valuing inclusiveness.
00:09:30.020 Sure, Mark.
00:09:30.720 You're the only inclusive person on this planet. 0.99
00:09:33.460 Yes, Donald Trump is an evil goblin because he doesn't believe in woke cultural Marxism. 0.97
00:09:41.820 And again, people can have problems with Trump, obviously. 0.99
00:09:45.120 There's a lot of character flaws in Donald Trump.
00:09:47.440 He is a very complex man.
00:09:49.400 At 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.
00:09:58.140 And as a conservative, I'm fine with it if they want to scuff this next election as hard as possible.
00:10:03.220 But 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.
00:10:12.020 While America attempts to turn back the clock, Canadians will build sustainability for future generations.
00:10:20.000 That's why they're way ahead of us on every single economic metric, because we're so ahead of them.
00:10:27.000 They're turning back the clock.
00:10:28.400 They're going back to slavery times. 0.95
00:10:30.620 Of course, Mark.
00:10:31.320 Of course.
00:10:32.600 Before America's fever passes, we must seize this moment for Canada.
00:10:39.800 This is the time to change.
00:10:42.900 This is our time to build.
00:10:46.240 This is the time for Canada. 0.89
00:10:53.800 Mark Carney is one of the most boring humans on the planet.
00:10:57.440 It 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,
00:11:15.220 on top of the fact that he's in favor of central bank digital currency and all this stuff.
00:11:19.220 He is Mr. Central Bank Digital Currency. 0.87
00:11:21.620 On top of all that stuff being extremely unpopular right now, he is just a boring human being.
00:11:27.220 His intonation just sounds like this.
00:11:30.160 Guys, it's our time to seize the day.
00:11:33.920 Carpe diem.
00:11:35.060 We're going to grab that brass ring and bring Canada to new heights, because we are not going to be turning back the clock.
00:11:43.860 It's like, Mark, prick yourself in the cheeks to bring some color back to your face and act like you care.
00:11:52.000 It'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.
00:12:05.280 I 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.
00:12:15.460 And that's one thing that is not very popular in elections, entitlement.
00:12:19.820 That 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.
00:12:27.800 Maybe they are, but acting like that is a great way of getting absolutely slaughtered at the polls.
00:12:33.460 Anyways, that should be mostly it for me today, guys.
00:12:37.000 I just want to quickly do an update.
00:12:39.320 I just got back from Vancouver.
00:12:41.380 My goodness, going from Calgary to Vancouver was one of the worst airport experiences of my life.
00:12:46.720 Nobody's fault in particular.
00:12:49.640 It's just my flight kept getting delayed, and it was delayed by such small increments.
00:12:53.760 I was never just going to go home, so I was stuck in the airport for 16 hours straight waiting to get on an actual airplane.
00:13:01.140 And then I got there, and it was all cool.
00:13:03.080 I got to see Pure Poly about a fundraiser and get a better photo than I had previously.
00:13:08.200 Because before I had this awful photo, this is the last one I ever took with him, where I look like I have a mad scientist haircut.
00:13:14.180 But my goodness, Polyev betrayed me, and he went to go get laser eye surgery, and now I'm the only one with glasses between the two of us.
00:13:21.960 Fun event out there.
00:13:23.420 I gave him a little bit of information about how Mark Carney is in favor of CBDCs.
00:13:28.300 I 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.
00:13:44.120 And I think it is such a gaping attack line on Mark Carney that he is in favor of central bank digital currencies.
00:13:52.660 I 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.
00:14:05.080 I'm like, no, they're not.
00:14:06.380 What big tech company, even the biggest ones on the planet, could actually be able to manage its own currency?
00:14:12.880 And by the way, at least if a private entity did it, you don't have to engage with them.
00:14:18.380 You don't have to use it if you don't want to.
00:14:20.780 I probably wouldn't do it.
00:14:22.460 A central bank digital currency is like a gaping privacy violation. 0.59
00:14:26.200 It 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.
00:14:38.700 I saw an article where Mark Carney was quoted advocating for why CBDCs would be good.
00:14:43.540 And then they quoted another central banker who was like proposed like they asked them about CBDCs.
00:14:50.640 He is a full on, you know, Keynesian central banker.
00:14:53.640 And even this guy was like CBDCs.
00:14:56.780 No, that's like a massive civil liberties and privacy issue.
00:15:00.560 But Mark Carney thinks it's a great idea.
00:15:03.060 That's a big thing that Mark Carney needs to be slammed on.
00:15:06.920 But anyways, that should be it for me there, guys.
00:15:10.420 You guys remember to like the video, leave a comment, subscribe to the channel.
00:15:14.760 I'll be back later covering other stuff that happened in this last day.
00:15:18.280 Every time I'm traveling, there's a bunch of stuff and then I can't cover it all because I had a bunch of my day eaten up.
00:15:24.080 I have to go help out with the vent right now.
00:15:26.560 Craziness.
00:15:27.080 I literally just got off an airplane like an hour and a half before I started the camera up here.
00:15:31.980 Anyways, so that's it for me, guys.
00:15:34.160 See you later.
00:15:34.680 See you later.
00:15:45.040 See you later.
