Video Transcript:
(00:00) just when you thought Canadian politics couldn’t get any more bizarre Mark Carney and the Liberals have decided that the best way to protect Canada’s economy is with Billboards in red States that’s right Carney is spending taxpayer money to slap anti-trump ads across Republican strongholds apparently hoping that an Ohio trucker or a Florida retiree will suddenly pressure their Senator into saving Canada from US tariffs a bold move maybe a smart one that’s another question entirely with a struggling economy and an election on
(00:29) the Horizon Carney seems more interested in crafting a narrative than crafting a real solution instead of lowering taxes or strengthening trade policies ottawa’s strategy now hinges on persuading Trump supporters who aren’t exactly known for taking advice from foreign liberals to change their minds will this Grand billboard campaign work or is it just another expensive distraction one thing’s for sure as Carney ramps up his political Ambitions the line between leadership and campaign gimmicks is getting blurrier by the day welcome back
(00:58) to Street politics Canada the liberal government’s latest brilliant idea begging Americans to fix their problems for them shows just how much Mark Carney and his team understand leadership instead of negotiating with strength Ottawa is now putting up Billboards in Republican strongholds hoping that some trucker in Ohio will call his Senator and save Canada from tariffs genius strategy maybe next they’ll start a GoFundMe to cover the federal deficit the decision to Target red states where Trump supporters aren’t
(01:27) exactly known for taking orders from foreign liberals is Peak liberal logic who knew that the best way to influence us trade policy was to lecture Americans about their own economy by trying to sway voters in places like Florida and Georgia Ottawa is essentially poking a bear with a maple leaf and hoping it gives them a hug meanwhile Melanie Jolie Trudeau’s handpicked Foreign Affairs expert because nothing says diplomatic heavyweight like a former Heritage minister went on CNN to admit Canada’s previous strategy failed but instead of
(01:57) you know trying something effective the Liberals are now turning to Billboards and AD campaigns narrated by Rick Mercer that’s right folks when times get tough forget about tax relief or real economic Solutions just hire a comedian to tell you everything is fine tough and can take on Donald Trump what do you think really I don’t know I I’ve seen him for 10 years they don’t look very tough to me uh uh I would say uh what we need now is seasoned serious people at the AL of this country and I think that’s what
(02:24) prime minister Carney is bringing to that you know uh the American colleagues will respect people with experience with expertise and and people who are serious and I think that’s what we’ve shown uh the Prime Minister going in France and in the UK the G7 meeting we had both the foreign minister and Finance Minister I think that that’s the kind of leadership canans want to see had a good meeting uh of course we talked about uh continuing to lifting tariffs um that are unjustifiably uh imposed uh by the usest
(02:55) on us and we’re also working on preventing future tariffs and of course will continue to fight back um so I’m willing to speaking of distractions the government also launched a patriotic TV ad at home as if that’ll make tariffs disappear the ad proudly declares Canada it’s time for more of us great slogan because what we really need right now is more self- congratulation not lower taxes fewer regulations or an actual trade policy that works maybe if they say True North strong and free enough times Trump will reconsider his tariffs
(03:29) out of sheer Canadian guilt oh and let’s not forget the timing just days before Carney is expected to call an election what an amazing coincidence who would have guessed that an expensive taxpayer funded ad campaign just happens to align with the start of carne’s campaign Trail Donald Trump claims that he totally changed you and your party’s fortunes is he interfering in our election and since he repeated the 51 state comment about Canada does this mean that a meeting with Trump or a phone call is off the table uh uh the
(04:02) uh look um Canadians are going to decide uh who their next government is going to be I trust Canadians to make those decisions uh we’ll have a I’m sure a robust uh uh election campaign um and Canadians will make the choice uh no foreign leader is going to determine uh who’s best um one of the factors is going to be in my judgment who is going to be best for Canada in the negotiations uh with the Americans which will come but they’re from my perspective they’re not going to come until we get the respect we deserve
(04:42) as a Sovereign Nation by the way this is not a high bar this is not a high bar to say we will sit down as a Sovereign Nation uh and have this negotiation but also that we will have a comprehensive discussion not a discussion about one-off tariffs the latest uh initiative but a comprehensive discussion the economic relationship and the security relationship which is also in the interests uh of the United States so uh the interference I’ll leave that to one side the requirements for the for for the negotiations are clear uh we’re
(05:17) ready last point I would make which is the most important point and I’ve said it before but I’ll keep repeating it we can’t control what’s said in an oval office um spray I think it’s called Uh scrum we would say we can’t control that what we can control are the types of issues we talked about today as first ministers and what’s behind that that investment that building the Canadian economy that will give us far more than we could lose uh from American Trade actions now of course in the end America is going to lose from America trade
(05:56) actions um and that’s one of the reasons why I’m confident that there will be that discussion with the appropriate amount of respect and the breath and I’m ready for it anytime they’re ready next they’ll be handing out free maple syrup and calling it an economic stimulus package the federal conservative party was absolutely right to call Carney out with their attack ad while the Liberals are busy playing makeb believe economics Pierre POV is offering real solutions lower taxes fewer trade barriers and an actual plan to get Canada back on its
(06:28) feet unlike carne who seems to be making things up as he goes along PV has a clear focused Vision what a concept carne’s attempt to blame Trump for Canada’s economic woses is as predictable as it is pathetic the truth is Canada has been vulnerable to us tariffs for years thanks to Liberal mismanagement if Carney really wanted to make Canada strong he’d be pushing for lower corporate taxes fewer regulations and energy Independence instead his government is busy making Tik Tok videos and praying that Billboards will change
(06:57) US foreign policy Jolie’s dismissive attitude toward Trump’s trade policy is also not helping I said more boots less suits after 10 years of the Trudeau Carney liberals Canada’s economy is weaker and more Reliant than ever especially you know and and we’ve lost a half trillion dollars because of the high taxes here Mr Carney supported carbon taxes on Canada while he invested in American coal he opposed the northern Gateway pipeline in Canada while he bought pipelines abroad yesterday his newly appointed environment Minister
(07:31) reaffirmed that the the Carney liberal government will impose an energy production cap which the Parliamentary budget officer just confirmed will cost 50,000 jobs this proves that carne is still faithful to his radical keep it in the ground Net Zero Insanity nothing will change in fact it will get worse and that will be good for for Global Rich Global Elites like him and the multin corporations that profit off of Canada’s weakness we know that Mr carne’s company abuses workers they bust unions they invested in companies that
(08:10) busted unions he also in a very tragic case one of the the insurance arm of carne’s company Brookfield profited by denying the the insurance claims of coal miners dying from Black Lung the these are workers who by breathing in dust in the ground became extremely sick and when they went to get the insurance that they had paid for they were denied by Carney’s in the company that uh that does the insurance for Brookfield they profited off that in fact this company lost in court the court found that the company was wrong
(08:54) now Mr Carney needs to tell us is he still invested in a company that abused loses workers rights and denies coal miners and their widows the benefits that they deserve Mark Carney will never stand up for the working people he will only stand up for the millionaire and billionaire Global Elites that is all that he has ever instead of working with the US she’s picking fights and threatening to Pivot toward Europe and the UK for trade and defense that’s like breaking up with your rich boyfriend to date someone who can’t afford dinner
(09:25) Canada’s largest and most critical trading partner is the US and the Liberals are doing their best to ruin that relationship then there’s carne’s so-called economic plan which is about as vague as a horoscope he talks about a national energy and trade Corridor but let’s be real his party has spent years killing pipeline projects and making energy development nearly impossible expecting the Liberals to support Canadian energy is like expecting a vegan to run a steakhouse it’s just not happening and because what Trump is
(09:53) asking for is asking for a real deal with Canada a real free trade and as like president Trump said we are imposing for example 300% tariffs on the milk dairy and pouy so your guys here in the US cannot sell and cannot export uh these Goods to Canada because it’s it won’t be won’t be available it won it would be too expensive they won’t be competitive so that being said we need to have the renegotiation of the Free Trade Agreement right now with President Trump put everything on the table and you know the big the best deal will be
(10:28) no tariff on our side and no tariff on your side that would create an explosive boom all the economic models show absolutely absolutely and if we don’t impose any tariff we won’t tax our own population now you know you are 10 times bigger than us 10 times so we cannot win a trade War we need to go and sit down but carne and POV the liberal and the conservatives what they’re doing right now they’re doing a campaign against Trump and that so so you’re saying I’m right in that I mean it’s obvious to me I’m not trying to criticize Trump but
(11:01) this is one of the missteps Trump is energizing the globalist up there by his rhetoric it needs to be about the globalist that of enslaved Canada and that he wants to help free Canada instead he loves you know to jerk the chain and say 51st state and all of that and I really think that’s playing into their hands right now what he’s doing it’s helping a little bit the Liberals you’re right about that but also if you have the conservative in power they’re the same they have the same policy APV has he has good rhetoric but I’ve heard
(11:29) from a lot of Canadians when I’ve said he looks good that he’s not he has good rics he’s doing politics by with mt slogans uh you know but his platform on the main issues climate change is like the Liberals about that you know is okay with the Paris well POV is a you know is a conservative in name only like Reno here in the state you know like the former Republican party before Trump POV is like that you know he cannot speak about the real issues for our party he doesn’t want because because also in Canada as you may know Alex we have
(12:02) leftist media over there we have you know socialist leftist media the mainstream media are able to manipulate the population and actually POV wants to please everybody so is going to the left and that’s why the real conservative don’t like what POV is doing because he’s not speaking and acting like a real you know putting our country first and Canadian first no he putting the UN the world economic forum and and also you know that that trans agenda when asked why he didn’t just run for the conservative party Carney didn’t
(12:38) have a real answer probably because he knows he wouldn’t survive five minutes in a room with actual conservatives his sudden interest in tax cuts and pipelines is nothing more than election season cosplay as for carne’s big response to the Tariff crisis temporary relief measures like waving the onewe waiting period for employment insurance and deferring tax payments that’s like putting a Band-Aid on a broken leg and calling it a day businesses don’t need delayed taxes they need lower taxes workers don’t need more government
(13:07) handouts they need jobs meanwhile Pierre POV continues to push for policies that actually make sense lowering taxes cutting government waste and making Canada a place where businesses can Thrive unlike Carney PV isn’t trying to fool Canadians with flashy ads and empty rhetoric he’s focused on real economic recovery at the end of the day the Liberals approach to this trade crisis is just another episode in their ongoing series of failures instead of fighting for Canada’s economic interests they’re running PR campaigns and hoping that
(13:38) patriotic slogans will make the problem go away they deserve a government that prioritizes economic growth energy Independence and National strength things that only a conservative government under Pier POV can deliver and hey if nothing else at least under POV we won’t have to rely on billboards to save our economy with the Whirlwind of political maneuvering gradually settling a critical truth emerges the road ahead remains fraught with ambiguity and daunting challenges voices from the conservative Camp echo through
(14:08) the halls of power offering guidance toward stability and prosperity even amidst looming adversity well that’s all for now do you think Mark carne’s billboard campaign will actually influence us policy or is it just a desperate political stunt let us know what you think in the comments below and if you haven’t please subscribe and leave a like for this video your support helps us continue our work you can also follow us on Twitter where we post stuff we can’t post on YouTube you can find the link in the description below thanks
