Carney CONFRONTS Trump Policies in EXPLOSIVE Canada-First Speech

[0:00] This is not the time for politics as usual, for petty differences, for political point scoring. [0:06] United, we will build Canada strong. [0:09] A Canada for all. A Canada strong that no one can ever take away. [0:13] You know, it started quietly. [0:18] People choosing a wine from the Okanagan over one from California. [0:22] Anyone, anyone had any bourbon recently? [0:30] No, things I know. Sorry, sorry. [0:35] A family planning a vacation to Prince Edward Island instead of booking flights to Florida. [0:41] The days, the days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over. [0:53] What you just heard wasn't just a speech. [1:00] It was a warning. It was a shift. [1:03] And it may go down as the moment Canada decided. [1:07] It will no longer live in the shadow of anyone, not even the United States. [1:13] Because tonight, Mark Carney didn't just speak to a room full of supporters. [1:18] He spoke to a country that is changing. Fast. [1:23] A country responding to a world reshaped by Donald Trump. [1:27] And a country that's now making one thing very clear. [1:30] Canada is ready to stand on its own. [1:34] And before we go further, if you believe in a stronger, more independent Canada. [1:40] A Canada that stands tall, even when challenged by leaders like Donald Trump. [1:47] Then subscribe to Canada today. [1:49] Because every day, we bring you the stories that show how Canada is rising to meet this moment. [1:56] The world as we've known it is shifting and is shifting fast. [2:01] According to Mark Carney, this isn't gradual. It's a rupture. [2:07] Let's hear what Carney had to say about the new reality shaping Canada's future. [2:12] The world's changing. Not gradually, but suddenly. [2:19] Yes, some are still in denial. Rather than starting on this journey, they're waiting for the past to return. [2:38] But hope is not a plan and nostalgia is not a strategy. [2:43] And if we stand still during this rupture, we will surrender our future to others. [2:59] My friends, technological change is accelerating. [3:05] We can either shape our future with AI or let it control our destiny. [3:09] The foundations of the international order. [3:13] The order which Canada helped build and from which we have benefited for so long. [3:19] That order is crumbling. [3:24] Now, this is where the speech takes a decisive turn away from dependence and towards self-reliance. [3:31] Carney makes it clear that Canada is rethinking its long-standing ties with the United States. [3:37] Listen closely to this moment. [3:40] The days, the days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over. [3:47] We are going to build. [3:59] We are going to build Canada strong with Canada steel, Canadian aluminum, Canadian lumber, Canadian workers. [4:06] Now, this is where Mark Carney gets very direct. [4:09] He points to something powerful, Canadians actively boycotting American products in response to tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. [4:19] And according to Carney, these weren't small gestures. [4:23] These were collective decisions that sent a message, impacted the United States economy, and proved just how resilient Canadians can be. [4:32] Let's hear how he explains it. [4:35] You know, it started quietly. [4:39] People choosing a wine from the Okanagan over one from California. [4:43] Anyone, anyone had any bourbon recently? [4:51] No, things I know. [4:52] Sorry, sorry. [4:54] A family planning a vacation to Prince Edward Island instead of booking flights to Florida. [5:02] Canadians, Canadians are rediscovering our country. [5:13] You know, Canada's tourism sector had a record-breaking summer. [5:18] 50,000 more train rides. [5:20] 13% more visits to our national parks. [5:23] 15% more visits to our national museums. [5:26] Small, small individual acts of solidarity, but repeated millions of times. [5:42] And together, they make a statement. [5:46] We are the masters of our destiny. [5:49] And then the speech takes a deeply emotional turn. [6:00] One that clearly hit Carney himself. [6:03] This is where leadership meets humanity. [6:07] And the room went completely silent. [6:09] Let's watch this moment. [6:11] Of everything Canadians have done this past year, [6:19] the most moving has been how we've looked out for each other, [6:24] including amidst the worst tragedies. [6:28] Think of the good people of Tumblr Ridge. [6:32] When the unimaginable happened, first responders were at the school within two minutes. [6:39] Teachers shielded their children. [6:44] Neighbours held each other for comfort. [6:46] Right after the shooting, Jim Caruso packed his bags, [6:52] travelled over a thousand kilometres to support families. [6:56] And Jim said, I want to hug people, pray for them. [7:01] And most importantly, cry with them. [7:03] That's Canada. [7:06] Looking out for each other. [7:08] Standing together when things get tough, so that they can get better. [7:13] I'm right there with you. [7:24] Canada's new government is right there with you, [7:27] inspired by hard-working, always caring Canadians. [7:32] Now this is where Mark Carney addresses the issue head-on. [7:35] With Donald Trump repeatedly threatening Canada's sovereignty, [7:39] Carney delivers a clear and defiant message. [7:42] This country is not up for grabs. [7:45] No ambiguity, no hesitation, just a line drawn. [7:50] Let's hear exactly how he said it. [7:53] No, this is not the time for politics as usual. [7:58] For petty differences, for political point scoring. [8:02] United, we will build Canada strong. [8:05] A Canada for all. [8:06] A Canada strong that no one can ever take away. [8:09] I feel that strength. [8:30] I feel that strength in this room. [8:32] I feel that strength. [8:35] I feel that strength. [8:37] As Diana mentioned, we feel that strength across this great country. [8:41] At this decisive moment, Canadians are demonstrating just how strong we are. [8:46] And finally, Carney brings it all together. [8:50] This moment. [8:51] This shift. [8:52] This sense of national direction. [8:55] A closing message about who Canadians are and where the country is heading. [9:00] Let's hear how he ends the speech. [9:04] My dear friends, this great country has been built by ordinary Canadians making bold choices [9:12] and doing extraordinary things. [9:14] Like the people in this room who show up. [9:18] Like the people watching who never give up. [9:24] People who believe in the promise of Canada. [9:27] You know, it was just a year ago that Canadians were asked a fundamental question. [9:38] Who's ready? [9:40] Who's ready to stand up for Canada? [9:44] You were and you certainly are. [9:57] You are a truly Canadian. [10:01] This wasn't just a speech. [10:03] It was a direct response to Donald Trump and everything his policies have triggered. [10:10] From tariffs, to threats against Canada's sovereignty, to an economic relationship that's now being openly challenged. [10:20] Mark Carney made one thing clear tonight. [10:24] Canada is done playing it safe. [10:26] This is a country that's pulling back its money, rebuilding its industries, and standing up to the United States like never before. [10:35] And whether you agree with him or not, this moment feels like a turning point. [10:41] The only question is, how far does this go?
