Canada PM BLASTS Trump in HISTORIC SPEECH!!

[0:00] Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is not messing around. [0:04] He just gave an incredibly powerful speech where he blasted Donald Trump and he talked [0:11] about how Canada and Europe will lead the way forward as America first actually means [0:18] America alone. [0:20] You also had Pete Buttigieg, former President Barack Obama, and numerous other pro-democracy [0:27] leaders in America, in Canada, having Prime Minister Carney's back. [0:33] Let me show you what went down. [0:35] First, Prime Minister Carney posted the following, Canada and Europe are united in our values [0:42] of pluralism, the rule of law, and democracy. [0:45] On Europe Day, we're building on that foundation to forge new strategic partnerships, deepen [0:53] our trade and stand steadfast with Ukraine. [0:58] In a more uncertain world, Canada and Europe are creating greater certainty, security, and [1:06] prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic. [1:10] In other words, buh-bye, U.S. [1:13] Canada now views itself as European. [1:17] Prime Minister Carney also said, for a better and more just future, we must name plainly [1:24] what is broken, say how we will replace it, and do the hard work of building. [1:30] That's what we focused on at the Global Progress Action Summit in Toronto. [1:36] And Prime Minister Carney keynoted that with a vengeance when it came to calling out Donald [1:43] Trump. [1:44] First, you had former President Obama meet with Prime Minister Carney. [1:48] The symbolism of these two powerful, intelligent people representing democracy side-by-side sent [1:55] a clear message to the world. [1:58] At the same time, people were rejoicing in Budapest as Peter Magyar became the Prime Minister [2:05] of Hungary. [2:06] And as Hungary cast away their authoritarian, dictatorial Orban regime, whereas you also had [2:15] Putin with that disgusting parade that he had, low energy, low tea Putin's parade. [2:22] We saw democracies on the rise yesterday. [2:25] And then Prime Minister Carney gave an incredible speech where he said, those who seek policies [2:32] or politics to destroy, demolish or dismantle, they're not going to change. [2:40] We can't pretend that this rupture will just go away if we are more timid versions of them. [2:48] If we are Trump-lite. [2:50] What we need to do is we need to unite and stand up powerfully against these authoritarians. [2:57] Watch what Prime Minister Carney said. [2:59] Let's play this clip. [3:00] I'll tell you something, you know, I've probably told you everything I've said, you know, but [3:06] you know, those whose politics is to destroy, to demolish, dismantle, they're not going [3:11] to change their instincts. [3:13] This is, in many respects, this is their moment, right? [3:17] We can't match them by being timid imitations of them. [3:21] We can't answer them by pining for an old order that's not going to return. [3:27] And the loss of control that people feel that feeds our age of anxiety, it can only be answered, [3:35] only be answered by positive action, by building that which comes next. [3:40] You know, through the crack in the bell, as Leonard Cohen said, through the rupture that [3:46] the light gets in. [3:48] In this more uncertain world, building for all, actual building, concrete, steel and code, [3:58] is the new progressive politics. [4:01] And our message, our message to Canadians right from the start, has been reflecting back what [4:07] we've heard. [4:08] It's a more dangerous world. [4:09] We have to take care of ourselves. [4:10] And as Canadians, we will always take care of each other. [4:15] Building a country that's not just strong, but it's good. [4:18] Not just prosperous, but fair. [4:20] Not just for some, most of the time, but for all Canadians, all of the time. [4:25] Prime Minister Carney then talked about how the US has changed dramatically. [4:30] And if that's what they want to do, that's their prerogative. [4:34] But here in Canada, here with our alliances in Canada, we are going to tread a new path. [4:43] A path that is not dependent on the United States. [4:48] Far from it. [4:49] This is an elbows up path. [4:52] Let's watch what Carney said. [4:53] Let's play it. [4:55] We need to build new trade relationships in order to move from reliance to resilience. [5:02] And it's truth that Canada has long benefited, long benefited, and we are very grateful. [5:07] We have long benefited, we did say thank you, thank you. [5:12] Long benefited from our proximity to the world's largest and the world's most dynamic economy. [5:18] But as the US changes dramatically its policies, and that's the right of the United States, [5:24] as it changes those policies, many of our former strengths have become our vulnerabilities. [5:30] We still, to be clear, we still have the best trade deal with the United States. [5:35] Over 85% of our goods move tariff-free across the border. [5:39] But with American tariffs, so-called 232, or strategic tariffs, on autos, steel, aluminum, [5:45] forest products, I could go on. [5:47] But in these so-called strategic areas, those are creating deep challenges for our workers [5:53] and firms in those industries. [5:55] Industries that until now had been highly, highly integrated with the United States. [6:00] To the benefit of America as well as Canada. [6:04] And our response begins by reimagining aspects of North American integration. [6:09] And to be absolutely clear, Canada, like Mexico, like Mexico, Canada remains open to deeper [6:18] integration, including options for fortress North America in selected sectors. [6:24] And to be clear, those offers are on the table. [6:29] But if that route is not ultimately possible, we will invest heavily in new markets and products. [6:36] We'll reward those who build, buy, and produce in Canada. [6:39] And we will build new partnerships abroad. [6:43] We're already applying the main lessons of the past 18 months, that we must build our strategic [6:50] autonomy. [6:51] And then, like the statesman, like the intelligent, multidimensional chess player that he is, while [7:00] Donald Trump ain't even playing checkers. [7:03] Donald Trump's like eating his marbles. [7:05] The hell is he doing? [7:07] But Prime Minister Carney talks about the variable geometry, dense with partnerships that Canada [7:16] can take advantage of, and we see that Canada participating in a leadership role in the European [7:23] political community meeting in Yerevan, Armenia, acting as a leader, Prime Minister Carney was, [7:29] or at the ASEAN conference, where Prime Minister Carney acted as a leader, or in Davos, where [7:37] Prime Minister Carney brought the house down. [7:40] Here's what Prime Minister Carney said. [7:42] Let's play it. [7:43] We're making this progress because we have the values to which much of the world aspires, [7:50] including commitments to sustainability, the rule of law, the belief that openness brings [7:55] strength and mutual benefit. [7:59] And we're making this progress in part because we've recognized, in some cases before others, [8:05] the degree to which, in the new world, sovereignty requires more than a country just being able [8:12] to feed, fuel, and defend itself, as important as that is. [8:15] It requires access to those critical minerals, to space-based communications, to sovereign [8:20] cloud, AI, payment systems, clean energy, and vaccines. [8:25] All of that demands partnership, and there's no one-stop shop for that partnership. [8:31] We need a variable geometry, a dense web of partnerships across those core strategic capabilities and [8:38] issues, drawing on common values and interests, because it's those common values and interests [8:43] that will assure alignment and respect to those agreements. [8:46] More from Prime Minister Carney here, talking about how it's not just in Canada, but across [8:53] many, many countries across the world, the same conversations are taking place across kitchen [9:00] tables and factory floors and chat rooms, which is how can people survive and make it through [9:08] day-to-day, where so much of the wealth, where so much of the resources is being hoarded by a class that seems to be [9:20] with no rules, immunity? How do we get power back to the people? Here, play this clip. [9:27] Across all our countries, I think this is safe to say, across all our countries, the same conversation is taking place [9:36] at kitchen tables and factory floors and chat rooms, people feeling a loss of control. [9:43] It's a conversation that's been going on for a few years. Control, or loss of control over their cost of living. [9:49] Loss of control over who comes across their borders. Loss of control, as we've just heard, over what [9:56] enters their social media feed. Control, or loss thereof, of a technology that may displace, destroy their jobs [10:04] before it improves their lives. Control in a world that's more divided and dangerous by the day. [10:12] And that loss of agency, control, is the common thread through all our politics. It doesn't [10:18] respect ideology. It doesn't respect the old left-right map. And it has fed a politics of grievance, [10:26] one that thrives on scarcity, feeds on division, and promises strength through demolition. And it [10:34] won't be addressed by the old ways. And just as Marshall McLuhan, that's my necessary Canadian [10:42] reference, Marshall McLuhan, described 60 years ago, our age of anxiety is caused by trying to do [10:50] today's job with yesterday's tools and yesterday's concepts. And I thought that was one of President [10:56] Obama's main points last evening. Fascinating conversation. Point that we need new institutions, [11:03] as much as reimagining the old ones. And that was part of my argument at Davos, that the [11:11] international rules-based order that we helped build together no longer works as it once claimed, [11:18] that we cannot restore that which no longer holds, that nostalgia is not a strategy, [11:24] we have to take the sign down and build anew. So you've got some major breaking news, Justin. Let me [11:29] interrupt for just a minute because this is something people need to be paying attention to right now, [11:33] especially with hurricane season just weeks away. Trump's FEMA Review Council has just released [11:37] new recommendations that critics say would dramatically weaken the federal government's [11:41] disaster response system and shift more of the financial burden onto states and local communities. [11:46] The timing here is raising major concerns. According to the recommendations, states would be [11:52] expected to take on more responsibility for disaster recovery costs, even as many states are [11:57] already struggling with budget shortfalls and increasingly severe climate disasters. The proposal [12:02] also encourages private insurance companies to take over more flood insurance policies [12:07] from the National Flood Insurance Program, something that critics are warning could make coverage [12:11] harder to get and significantly more expensive for families already dealing with rising insurance [12:16] costs. At the same time, Trump's budget proposals have included massive cuts to FEMA preparedness [12:21] funding, including more than a billion dollars in reductions for state and local emergency programs. [12:27] There are also reports that FEMA staffing cuts could eliminate over 11,000 positions. And here's another [12:33] major point. Data shows that disaster aid approvals under Trump have been far more likely for Republican-led [12:39] states than Democratic-led states. Critics are saying disaster relief is being politicized at the exact moment [12:45] that communities need fast, reliable health as extreme weather events continue to intensify across the country. [12:51] And remember, this comes as tariffs on construction materials are already expected to increase rebuilding costs [12:57] by nearly $11,000 per home, according to builders' estimates. All right, well, now I need to hear from you. [13:03] What do you think about all this? What are your thoughts on the Trump administration's actions, [13:07] on their approach to the climate, on these climate segments that we do here at Midas Touch? [13:12] Let me know right now in the comments. I'm going to be reading them all. Okay, Ben, back to you. [13:17] And of course, Prime Minister Carney recognizes, as we should recognize in the United States, [13:24] Canada was built by indigenous peoples. And I love that Prime Minister Carney doesn't shy away from that. [13:32] That's not, ooh, woke this, woke that. It's the truth. It's the truth. And we should respect our [13:39] indigenous communities here in the United States. And it's incredible to see a leader like Prime Minister [13:45] Carney doing the same. Let's play it. Canada was built by indigenous peoples, [13:49] voyageurs who mapped this continent and built trading networks from coast to coast to coast. [13:55] Before, with due respect, the Americans had even left St. Louis. Whenever we have something over the [14:03] Americans, we're going to use it. I'm sorry. Now I'll remind you, too, [14:08] of Prime Minister Carney's speech following that incredible trip to Yerevan, Armenia, where it looked [14:16] like Prime Minister Carney was leading the European political community meeting. And here's what Prime [14:21] Minister Carney said on the international order being rebuilt out of Europe. It's a belief in democracy [14:29] that binds together. Canada, the EU, UK, Australia, play this clip. [14:37] Which is a belief in democracy, the rule of law, that we're all equal before that law. And [14:45] imperfectly, the international system had variants of that. But Amor Boers, part of her very distinguished [14:52] career, was to make sure that those who transgressed in the most egregious ways, those rules, norms, [15:01] standards, were prosecuted and brought to justice. That system, as I've observed in the past, and I'm [15:10] not alone in making these observations, has been greatly weakened and needs to be rebuilt, and rebuilt [15:19] perhaps in a different way, but rebuilt based on the same principles. And Canada, the European Union, [15:26] the United Kingdom, Australia, other countries share very firm convictions with those principles. [15:34] And we will work together to rebuild. And obviously, there's a critical mass in Europe of countries, [15:40] 27 members of the European Union, but then a broader grouping that you saw in that meeting in [15:46] Armenia, over 50 countries that have some form of association with Europe, and either fully support [15:53] or are moving towards those principles. So that's what I meant by those comments, and I stand by them. [15:59] And then Prime Minister Carney at that Yerevan Armenia event said, [16:03] we don't think that we're destined to submit to a more transactional insular brutal world. We should not [16:11] submit and tap out. We should assert ourselves now more than ever. Here, play this clip. [16:18] Now we have to actually take on the world as it is, not as we wish it to be. We know nostalgia is not [16:23] a strategy, but we don't think that we're destined to submit to a more transactional insular and brutal [16:30] world. And gatherings such as these point to a better way forward. [16:34] And then Prime Minister Carney talked about Canadian-EU relations, how we see ourselves [16:40] complementary of the era. Pierre, play this clip. [16:44] We view ourselves as highly complementary to your economic and security goals. [16:50] That's demonstrated through the work we're doing with the presidencies on the new EU-Canada [16:56] strategic partnership of the future, building deeper relationships from digital to defense, [17:02] supply chains to security. We're honored to be the first non-European country as part of the EU-SAFE [17:09] initiative. We would observe that in the last year, we have struck $18 billion worth of critical [17:16] minerals deals across 20 of the world's leading critical minerals. The way to look at this is we [17:23] are warehousing these to look for government to government deals with our close partners and under [17:30] the rubric of the G7 first and foremost, but then more broadly. We're working with European partners [17:36] across the technology stack from hardware, cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence and [17:42] space. And as we'll discuss later, we are an energy superpower, third largest oil producer, [17:48] fourth largest natural gas, largest hydro renewable base. We're committed to addressing climate change [17:56] while providing reliable, affordable energy to our citizens and partners. In closing, we're here [18:05] because of your invitation. Again, thank you for that. But we're here because of the moral and [18:10] security imperatives of our cooperation in the caucuses, in the Baltics, in Ukraine, across Europe, [18:18] and also because of the immense potential for our partnerships to build a better, more prosperous, [18:24] sustainable and just world for our citizens. And then he talks about the rupture that Donald Trump [18:29] has caused to the world order. Let's play it. The world is undergoing a rupture across several [18:35] dimensions in technology, in energy, in commerce, and geopolitics. Integration is being used as a weapon [18:43] by some, and the rules are not constraining the hegemons. [18:49] Can we just contrast that right here to what was going on in Russia at the same time that Carney was [18:56] giving that speech? In Russia, they had their victory day parade where they brought out the [19:02] widows and mothers of these soldiers killed in Putin's invasion of Ukraine. You know, it's about 35,000, [19:10] 40,000 Russian soldiers are dying every month as Putin sends them to the meat grinder. Here, let's watch this. [19:17] Now, as I mentioned at the outset of this video, Pete Buttigieg joined the panel at this event, [19:40] and Pete Buttigieg gave his perspective on Donald Trump's unlawful tariffs. Let's play it. [19:46] The tariffs, at least the IEPA tariffs, are not trade policy. They are about power. They are a means [19:54] for, precisely because they were, not really, but supposedly something a president could unilaterally [20:00] do, a means to flex a kind of power such that any country, company, or industry needing relief would [20:07] have to personally appeal to one man in order to survive. Obviously, the fact that that was illegal [20:12] has complicated that strategy, but that strategy has already done a great deal of damage. [20:18] And then Pete Buttigieg talked about how Trump's America first has really meant America alone. Let's [20:24] play. In practice, America first has really meant America alone. Every country puts itself first. So [20:33] no one should expect anything different from any national government. But what has actually been behind [20:39] this slogan has, of course, been a process of alienating friends and poking allies in the eye and [20:48] dismantling some of the partnerships and friendships that, in fact, helped to keep America in first place, [20:54] which I think is the real aspiration of the American people. And for our country to be leading, [21:00] whether it's leading economically, militarily, or socially, it is important that there be an [21:08] atmosphere in which people want to follow and find the following is in their interests. And you cannot [21:14] bully people into that. Now, I know all of my Canadian viewers know what I'm about to show you, but [21:21] I want to give everybody the international perspective and also zoom out a bit. So in Canada, [21:28] they have their Maple MAGA. By the way, before Carney, Maple MAGA was expected to win the elections. [21:38] And Pierre Poliev, Mr. Maple MAGA woke this, woke that. I mean, he's right out of the Trump, [21:44] J.D. Vance talking points. He was expected to win and become the prime minister. But as Donald Trump [21:51] attacked Canada, as Canada went elbows up, as Carney ascended, Pierre Poliev fell and he lost his [21:58] riding. Meaning Poliev lost his congressional district seat, humiliated. But then he basically [22:05] stole or took over someone else's riding. They could trade ridings in Canada. So he took somebody [22:12] else's after he lost. Really pathetic. And then he just shows up in the parliament and still does his [22:17] arrogant, woke this, woke that, transgendered this, transgendered that. The same old MAGA playbook, [22:24] the Orban Trump shtick. But in the provinces in Alberta, they have Danielle Smith. Now, [22:32] Danielle Smith, she's, she goes to Mar-a-Lago. She's Maple MAGA. She's in the pockets of big oil, [22:40] big corporations. I mean, she's really a sick human being, really is. And she's Maple MAGA and she's [22:48] right out of the Trump, Orban, Putin talking points. So you'll see at like her, her event, [22:55] which she tried to counter program the events of, uh, you know, Carney speech. She uses the same Trump [23:03] lines. Woke, woke, woke, woke. Here, play this clip. Because in Alberta, we are also putting an end [23:11] to the era of wokeism. We passed. Yep. And then she attacks Gavin Newsom and AOC. Let's play it. [23:24] Saudi Arabia and UAE, of course, do not have a carbon price, but they're both investing in carbon [23:30] capture utilization and storage, direct air capture. They're both bringing on alternative [23:34] renewables onto their grid. And so we're seeing that some of the largest energy producers in the world [23:41] have determined that it's important to keep on investing in this area. And so, uh, even though [23:47] the U.S. has taken a different turn in the last 18 months, uh, heaven forbid Gavin Newsom become a [23:52] future president or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But you just know that if there's a change in White House, [24:00] there's going to be a whipsaw effect of going in a different direction as well. [24:04] There you have it, folks. I just want to let you know that that's lingering in the background there. [24:08] And really, Danielle Smith has uplifted, and I believe she's inextricably intertwined with, [24:14] like a separatist movement. And you have to focus on what's going on behind the scenes [24:19] because just like Putin and Don Boss and Putin trying to, you know, uh, you know, Putin's taking [24:26] over annexing territories and proclaiming them like Russian territories, supporting separatist groups, [24:33] right? That Trump and JD Vance and Trump's disgusting regime behind the scenes are working [24:39] with separatist movements in Alberta to try to peel off Alberta and then make it a 51st state. [24:48] That's actively going on right now. So I just want you all to know what's, what's happening behind [24:53] the scenes. There you have it. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
