Speaker 1 (00:03):
From Brian Lilly. This is not good. Elbows up, elbows
up Canadians. So Mark Carney, the guy who knows how
things works and knows how to negotiate, apparently doesn't know
how the world works or how to negotiate, cause things
are going terribly. Michelle Rempel Garner posted this explained to
(00:27):
me about the elbows again. Let's see UF tariffs on
Canada before Carni softwood number fourteen point four percent. After
five months of Carni, that's up to twenty seven point
three percent, So that's more. Huh, that's bad. That's almost double.
Energy ten percent, now energy ten percent, critical minerals ten
percent ten percent, okay, so that's fine, potash ten percent
(00:48):
ten percent. Still. Steel aluminum was twenty five percent before Carni.
Now it's fifty percent, so that's double. So that's bad.
Other non KUZMA or USMCA goods twenty five percent. Now
it's thirty five percent. Plus cars and trucks at twenty
five percent. Now that's a little misleading. For the cars
and trucks, it's just on non USMCA compliant parts. So
(01:13):
the actual effective tariff is really more like three too.
At tops like eleven percent, but copper fifty percent, So
not good. This seems like bad negotiating. So negotiating is
supposed to supposed to get better. This is worse. So
thanks Rosemary Martin's teleprompter. Let's see, Canadians will be our
(01:37):
own best customer. That's what Mark Carney is telling is,
let's see he's put out a statement after his massive failure.
Canadians will be our own best customer? Are we though,
at creating more well paying careers at home? As we
strengthen and diversify our trading partnerships throughout the world. We
can give ourselves more than any foreign government can ever
(02:00):
take away by building with Canadian workers and by using
Canadian resources to benefit all Canadians. What does that actually mean?
I feel like it means nothing. I feel like it's
a word salad. I feel like that signifies Mark Carney's
total failure. We can give ourselves more than any foreign
(02:21):
government can we though? Really? But can we? And by
the way, this whole kind of one Canadian economy and
you know, reducing the trade bears between the provinces, nothing
has happened on that either, Like there's been no new
projects even proposed And it seems obvious that that's obvious
at this point that Carnie was never serious about actually
(02:42):
pushing anything through anyway, unless it's like cricket farms and
windmills or something, or carbon cat capture. But that's not
exactly going to cent our economy on fire. Why would
you talk about Palestinian statehood the day before the deadline
when a dale is supposed to be raid? Like, how
do you not figure out that's going to be a
(03:03):
stick in Trump's eye? Like it has to be intentional,
Like it can't just be stupidity? Can it Is that possible?
Is it possible to be that stupid to be trying
to come up with something for Canadians, some reasonable trade
deal for Canadians and do something that idiotic. It's quite baffling.
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I didn't like what they said, but you know that's
that's their opinion.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I didn't like that.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Not a deal breaker, But we haven't spoken to Canada
today He's called and we'll we'll see.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
In terms of sort of how the administration at least
is feeling. You got some sense of that from Trump,
but his Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnik was on with Fox Business.
News talking about Canada and about the prospects of what
might happen over the next seven hours. Let's take a
listen to this.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
The Canadians put out, oh, we're going to recognize the
Palestinian state. I mean, come on, don't be so tone
deaf right the president, it is totally in to try
to get beeces and Gaza and you're throwing your hat
in the ring from Canada. Come on, you know they
still haven't solved dairy. They still have two countries on
the whole world retaliated against the United States of America tariffs, China,
(04:16):
which we all know, and Canada. So you know what,
I just don't see the president stepping off the.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Gas when you were elected, because you're supposed to be
the guy who gets things done, it gets results. Okay.
I certainly did not vote for him because I predicted
that he was going to be Turbo Trudeau and it
was going to be even worse than Trudeau. Even I'm
shocked at how true my prediction has become. But you
(04:43):
get elected as the button down guy who's gonna get
things done, the sensible guy who's gonna get things done,
is a strong negotiator who knows how the world works.
I don't care what's coming from Trump. I don't care
what's coming from Lutnik or any of them. Look, get
something done, results, right, that's what you were voted in for.
(05:05):
You have to do that. Trump is getting results, is
getting lots of results at this point. There's no excuses
like you have to get something done, even if it's
not the great deal that everybody's going to love. It's something.
It's better. It's certainly better than the uncertainty. That's the
best that we could do. As thirty five percent non
(05:27):
US MCA products, fifty percent on steel aluminum, that's the
best you could do. These are the results. It's either
baffling incompetence or intentional sabotage of the process. And I'm
feeling like it's intentional sabotage. Why. I think there's a
(05:48):
good chance that they're going to try and push us
into the EU, as idiotic as that would be to
join this crumbling edifice. This the EU is a asket case.
It's de industrializing itself. It's becoming authoritarian, right, it's becoming
a censorship hell hole. It's becoming the place where human
(06:10):
rights go to die, and all that Canada would achieve
by joining the EU is to become a bargaining chip
for the EU to be used against the United States
for its own benefit, for Europe's own benefit. Because once
you're in the EU, now they've got control over your
trade practices, over your trade ideals. Now they've got control
(06:33):
over your borders. They're going to tell you how many
people are going to be imported into your country and
from where, so, you know, giving up your sovereignty, right
the thing that the elbows upcrowd was never going to do.
I think that might be where it's heading. I'm not sure,
but I think it might be where it's heading were
there were these strange polls that all of a sudden
started coming out after Mark Carty told us about how
(06:57):
we're the most European non European country, all of a sudden,
these posts started coming about coming out about how much
Canadians wanted to join the EU. Weird, weird, Yeah. According
to Howard Luttene Cody, two countries were dumb enough to
retaliate against Trump, China and Canada. One's a communist regime,
the other just couldn't put its elbows down. Thirty percent
(07:19):
tariff is cobbing and we earned it. I think it's
intentional anyway. That's all I'm going to say about that.
