- 0:12Speaker 1: All right. How are you guys doing out there? Brian Lynch.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Good to see you. Happy to be back. Well, I'm
- 0:18Speaker 1: not sure how long it's going to last tonight because
- 0:21Speaker 1: you guys are all aware that I've missed a couple
- 0:23Speaker 1: of streams because ongoing dental issues, dental complications that hurt.
- 0:29Speaker 1: They're painful. So like yesterday, you know, I thought I
- 0:33Speaker 1: was going to go live and then I'd like, I
- 0:35Speaker 1: talked on the phone for three minutes and I was like, oh,
- 0:38Speaker 1: this really hurts. The thing is, is that it's fine
- 0:41Speaker 1: if I'm not talking or eating. When I'm talking or eating,
- 0:45Speaker 1: it starts to hurt. And I've had my Advil and
- 0:49Speaker 1: I've had my extra strength Tylenol and I can already
- 0:54Speaker 1: feel it starting to hurt again.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Why?
- 0:58Speaker 3: Why?
- 0:59Speaker 1: Why? Why? Why, you ask? Why, you ask? The continuing
- 1:02Speaker 1: saga of this fucking tooth. Finally had it extracted a
- 1:06Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and they do all the thing
- 1:09Speaker 1: where they flap the skin over and everything, the sutures,
- 1:12Speaker 1: and it's really not that pleasant. And, of course, the
- 1:14Speaker 1: fucking bone grafting, and it's cadaver bones, so they don't
- 1:18Speaker 1: even tell you that until afterwards, that they're putting fucking
- 1:21Speaker 1: dead people's bones in your jaw for grafts. I mean,
- 1:24Speaker 1: what the hell? I don't know where they're digging these
- 1:26Speaker 1: guys up. I worry... that they dig up these cadavers
- 1:29Speaker 1: at some spooky cemetery outside of a closed-down institute for
- 1:34Speaker 1: the criminally insane. That's what I worry about, and I'm
- 1:37Speaker 1: monitoring my behavior. If I start getting weird nightmares and dreams,
- 1:41Speaker 1: I know something's up. But in any case, they took
- 1:47Speaker 1: it out. They did the thing, you know, the sutures,
- 1:49Speaker 1: and they did the flaps of the skin and the
- 1:51Speaker 1: grafting and all of that. But the socket, the socket...
- 1:57Speaker 1: where the tooth came out of was like razor sharp,
- 2:01Speaker 1: like razor sharp crags. Like, like Frodo had to climb
- 2:06Speaker 1: over it more door, but in my mouth and it
- 2:11Speaker 1: cut right through the gum right through and then lacerated
- 2:17Speaker 1: the shit out of my tongue. So, and I couldn't
- 2:20Speaker 1: get to a dentist for two days. I got in
- 2:22Speaker 1: on Monday and then they filed down the bone. They
- 2:26Speaker 1: filed it down. And then he discovered there was other
- 2:29Speaker 1: pointy things underneath the gums, and he had to get
- 2:31Speaker 1: in there and then do those. And filing it down. Folks,
- 2:35Speaker 1: this was only on Monday, for God's sakes. This was
- 2:38Speaker 1: two days ago. How do you expect me to recover
- 2:42Speaker 1: in that time? I'm still not recovered. It's already starting
- 2:45Speaker 1: to hurt just from the talking and the ranting and
- 2:47Speaker 1: the idiotic ranting I'm already doing. Now, I understand. You
- 2:52Speaker 1: guys see me as some sort of ubermensch, an overman,
- 2:55Speaker 1: or something. A Superman, let's say. Some sort of hero.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Some sort of eternal champion. Untouched by time and human frailty.
- 3:06Speaker 1: But let me tell you, I am extremely touched by
- 3:10Speaker 1: human frailty. Extremely touched by so much human frailty. You
- 3:15Speaker 1: would be disgusted and shocked to discover how touched I
- 3:19Speaker 1: am by human frailty.
- 3:22Speaker 2: A lot.
- 3:23Speaker 1: A lot of human frailty. I can't handle discomfort. I
- 3:27Speaker 1: just don't like it anymore. I'm at that stage in
- 3:29Speaker 1: my life where I just can't deal with this shit anymore.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I can't. What was that thing again? Wasn't that in
- 3:36Speaker 1: Lethal Weapon? I'm too old for this shit. So anyway,
- 3:44Speaker 1: I've had my painkillers and it's already starting to hurt.
- 3:48Speaker 1: But you know what? The show must go on, folks.
- 3:50Speaker 1: I had to come back. I don't know how long
- 3:51Speaker 1: we're going to go for before it becomes too painful.
- 3:55Speaker 1: It already hurts, but we're going to try. I am
- 4:02Speaker 1: here because you're precious to me. You might ask yourself,
- 4:07Speaker 1: Rich is usually he lashes out when things go wrong
- 4:11Speaker 1: for him. If there's something, especially with a dentist, he
- 4:13Speaker 1: usually lashes out if he's in any kind of discomfort.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And so you can ask me, am I lashing out?
- 4:20Speaker 1: Am I lashing out at the world? Do I blame
- 4:22Speaker 1: the world? Yes. Do I blame you guys personally, each
- 4:26Speaker 1: and every one of you? Yes, I do. And if
- 4:28Speaker 1: I had the power, if it were within my power,
- 4:30Speaker 1: I would smite every single one of you, man, woman,
- 4:33Speaker 1: and child. No mercy, no remorse. But sadly, I don't
- 4:39Speaker 1: have that power. Sadly, I don't. So what I'm going
- 4:42Speaker 1: to tell you instead is that you're all precious to me.
- 4:46Speaker 1: You are all so very Very precious to me.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Love you, baby.
- 4:54Speaker 2: You're beautiful.
- 4:58Speaker 1: All right. Don't worry. You're all still in the well.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Rosie's getting that. If I go before Rosie, she's getting
- 5:11Speaker 1: that Rosecaster. I'm telling you right now. Spambot, if I
- 5:23Speaker 1: go before you, you can have my back scratcher. Brian Lynch,
- 5:35Speaker 1: I have a, it's like a shelf that you affix
- 5:38Speaker 1: under a desk. It's like a little cupboard thing that
- 5:41Speaker 1: you install under a desk and then you pull it
- 5:44Speaker 1: out and you can put pens and stuff in there.
- 5:46Speaker 1: If I go before you, you get that. Because I
- 5:50Speaker 1: haven't installed it yet. Uh, I guess that's everybody. It's
- 5:58Speaker 1: everybody who bothered to show up. Oh, I retard. All right.
- 6:01Speaker 1: What can I get to? I retard. Um, I've got
- 6:05Speaker 1: a USB fan that I use sometimes in the summer.
- 6:09Speaker 1: It's from Timu, but my friend, it's yours. If I
- 6:13Speaker 1: go before you. Okay. I'm doing okay so far. The
- 6:23Speaker 1: pain is not too intense yet. It's not hurting that badly.
- 6:31Speaker 1: All right. Let's see how this goes. All right. What
- 6:34Speaker 1: are we talking about tonight, by the way? I forgot
- 6:37Speaker 1: to ask you guys. What are we talking about? What
- 6:39Speaker 1: are we talking about? I don't have much set up
- 6:40Speaker 1: because I didn't anticipate to go very long tonight. But
- 6:43Speaker 1: I had to show up. I had to put an
- 6:46Speaker 1: appearance in for you guys because, as I said, you
- 6:49Speaker 1: are all so very, very precious to me. You are
- 6:53Speaker 1: all like my children. Kind of, I guess. Not really.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Let's see. Canada, this whole Canada-EU thing is such a...
- 7:05Speaker 1: This whole Canada-EU thing is such a clown show. Dan Mazier,
- 7:10Speaker 1: breaking news. Canadian interest... Dan Mazier, breaking news. Canadian industries
- 7:15Speaker 1: face a massive EU carbon tax while Mark Carney secretly
- 7:19Speaker 1: negotiates to make Canada a member of the European Union
- 7:22Speaker 1: or associate member, but now You know, the biggest economies
- 7:26Speaker 1: in the EU say that now we don't like this
- 7:27Speaker 1: associate membership thing. The whole thing is a joke. Ultimately,
- 7:31Speaker 1: I think the only interest that the EU would ever
- 7:34Speaker 1: have in Canada was is as a bargaining chip against
- 7:37Speaker 1: the United States to try and get a better tariff
- 7:39Speaker 1: deal for themselves. But we'll take a look at that.
- 7:41Speaker 1: We're going to go through a few things on this.
- 7:43Speaker 1: We'll spend some time on it. There's articles and we
- 7:46Speaker 1: can read. And then there's some numbers here, which is fun.
- 7:49Speaker 1: And then Pierre Polyev. I'm enjoying Pierre Polyev back in
- 7:53Speaker 1: Parliament again. He really shines in Parliament. Carney's housing minister
- 7:57Speaker 1: tried to imply that Pierre Polyev was a racist. A racist.
- 8:01Speaker 1: That's what they say about everything. Only to be confronted
- 8:04Speaker 1: with the fact that Polyev was quoting him. This is great.
- 8:08Speaker 1: This is classic. This is classic. This will be a
- 8:13Speaker 1: Pierre Polyev classic for all time. I think you'll enjoy it.
- 8:16Speaker 1: You know what, Omar? Nothing new on her being illegal
- 8:20Speaker 1: and fraud and all of that. Just I wanted to
- 8:22Speaker 1: show you what she said about Charlie Kirk. If anybody
- 8:25Speaker 1: was starting to feel bad for her. Then we got
- 8:30Speaker 1: some stuff here. Some more American stuff. Former Obama aides here.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Scott Jennings crushing, crushing, stomping the dumb libs. Libtards. Andy
- 8:44Speaker 1: Ngo has... Yeah, they're... the stuff that they support, it's
- 8:51Speaker 1: just weird. Andy knows got something here. Uh, I wanted
- 8:56Speaker 1: to see that this is actually from last year, March
- 8:59Speaker 1: last year. I don't know how I missed this, but
- 9:02Speaker 1: I just came across it. A lot of stuff is
- 9:04Speaker 1: an X is presented as new, even though it's old,
- 9:07Speaker 1: they'll try and pretend it. So anyway, I saw this
- 9:09Speaker 1: thing and I thought, well, is this new or old?
- 9:11Speaker 1: And I looked at it's from last year, but I
- 9:13Speaker 1: missed it. And, uh, Somehow I missed it. I don't
- 9:16Speaker 1: know how, but it's ridiculous and thought we would take
- 9:19Speaker 1: a look at it. And then here, I believe I had,
- 9:24Speaker 1: last time I checked, something like 130 new things, new
- 9:30Speaker 1: messages on X, new links on X, which I just
- 9:35Speaker 1: did not get to any of. I got to some
- 9:37Speaker 1: of the ones you guys sent before, but what I'm not,
- 9:39Speaker 1: if I have to take a bit of time off,
- 9:41Speaker 1: they add up really, really quickly. So I did a quick,
- 9:46Speaker 1: some quick math in my head. And if I spent
- 9:48Speaker 1: two minutes on every one of them, it would be
- 9:51Speaker 1: like a three hour long stream. And that's just two
- 9:54Speaker 1: minutes and then move to the next one, two minutes,
- 9:56Speaker 1: the next one. So yeah, most of those we're never
- 9:59Speaker 1: getting to. Just never getting to. Some of the most
- 10:04Speaker 1: recent ones we will. But, I mean, I'm only one man.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And I appreciate you guys sending them in. Please keep
- 10:10Speaker 1: sending them in. But if you're wondering where they are, just,
- 10:13Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I apologize to you. I just don't have
- 10:16Speaker 1: time to go through 130. or 140 or whatever it
- 10:20Speaker 1: is of them. I just don't have time. And I
- 10:22Speaker 1: will never have time. My apologies. Keep sending them in.
- 10:25Speaker 1: I really do appreciate it. But if I have to
- 10:29Speaker 1: miss a couple of streams, as I have this week,
- 10:31Speaker 1: they're going to get backed up. So I do have
- 10:33Speaker 1: some of the stuff you guys sent, but not, you know,
- 10:37Speaker 1: not much. All right. Yeah, there's a few things here.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Let's see. You can see them Corolla and I think
- 10:48Speaker 1: you guys sent in some of this stuff here. I think.
- 10:52Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know. My apologies. Again,
- 10:59Speaker 1: I am extremely touched by human frailty. So you must
- 11:05Speaker 1: keep that in time. Don't ever allow yourself to raise
- 11:09Speaker 1: your expectations of me too much. All right? Or at all.
- 11:13Speaker 1: In any way. Always keep very low expectations. And then
- 11:16Speaker 1: you won't be disappointed. I'll be happier. You'll be happier.
- 11:19Speaker 1: All right. How much is it hurting? It's not agonizing
- 11:29Speaker 1: right now. We'll see how it goes as I keep talking.
- 11:35Speaker 1: All right. So, as everybody knows, as everybody knows, when
- 11:44Speaker 1: you like the stream, you get free good karma. But
- 11:48Speaker 1: when you're early, you get extra good karma. So let's see.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Who got the early likes on the stream? Rosie got
- 11:56Speaker 1: like number two. That's five good karmas right there. Boom.
- 12:01Speaker 1: So good. Spambot says, just arrived. Like number two. What? What?
- 12:07Speaker 2: What?
- 12:08Speaker 1: How can you both have number two? That's impossible. There's
- 12:11Speaker 1: no ties in the like race. So I don't know.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Let's see. I'm going to have to give number one
- 12:19Speaker 1: to one of these two. So I'm just going to
- 12:20Speaker 1: go eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
- 12:27Speaker 1: So Spambot gets like number one. That's six good commas.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Someone says, just arrived. Number two, how's your tooth socket?
- 12:36Speaker 1: You know, it feels a bit improved tonight. I did
- 12:39Speaker 1: take a bunch of Advil and Tylenol about an hour
- 12:42Speaker 1: ago before the stream, hoping that it would get me through.
- 12:46Speaker 1: It hurts. But I talked on the phone earlier, and
- 12:51Speaker 1: it hurt way more. But now I've had these pills.
- 12:53Speaker 1: I don't really like taking the pills for some reason.
- 12:56Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I mean, I spent decades, like,
- 12:59Speaker 1: just drinking gallons of booze every night, every day, you know, constantly.
- 13:07Speaker 1: And when you're doing that, there tends to be other
- 13:09Speaker 1: substances that come around as well. Now I like... if
- 13:14Speaker 1: I'm taking like the sleep liquid stuff, I don't know
- 13:16Speaker 1: that Zed quill or whatever, like I'm measuring out exactly
- 13:19Speaker 1: how many milliliters and stuff. Like I'm very careful that
- 13:22Speaker 1: it's hilarious, totally stupid, but I don't really like to
- 13:25Speaker 1: take them, but I thought I'll take some for tonight and, um,
- 13:29Speaker 1: for the stream. And it's not killing me. We'll see.
- 13:33Speaker 1: It's early though. Let's see. All right. Well, that's everything
- 13:42Speaker 1: to do with that. So, And what else are you
- 13:44Speaker 1: guys talking about? Brian Lynch says, happy to be back.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Happy to be back. I'm happy, but I'm tired. I
- 13:51Speaker 1: will be listening tonight. I'm freaking old after all. Aren't
- 13:54Speaker 1: we all? Aren't we all? Rosie says, damn it, Rosie.
- 13:59Speaker 1: He is still alive. No Rose caster for you. Oh, dear.
- 14:09Speaker 1: I recharge says, have you considered a cadaver tongue transplant?
- 14:13Speaker 1: You need a new tongue or just become a tongue amputee. Well,
- 14:16Speaker 1: it's not the tongue now. It's just the gum with
- 14:19Speaker 1: the bone sticking through it. It's the gum with the
- 14:22Speaker 1: bone sticking through it. I retard. That's a problem because
- 14:27Speaker 1: now it's been filed down. So it's not going to
- 14:30Speaker 1: cut my tongue anymore. Although the tongue still hurts, but
- 14:33Speaker 1: it's not as bad. It's healing quick. Let's see. Brian
- 14:47Speaker 1: Lynch says, Mark Carney speaks with two tongues. I guess
- 14:51Speaker 1: he got the extra one from somewhere. Yes, yes, he's
- 14:54Speaker 1: forked tongue. Let's see. Mark Carney, along with his pet
- 14:59Speaker 1: Chihuahua and chipmunk, is worthy of a freak show. Wasn't
- 15:07Speaker 1: Chrystia Freeland Trudeau's Chihuahua? No, she was his Oompa Loompa.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Let's see. I could send you a screenshot of what?
- 15:18Speaker 1: Won't need it. What's Spambot saying? How's your tooth socket?
- 15:24Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. All right. Brian Lynch says, Canada,
- 15:30Speaker 1: the theater of the absurd. It sure is. JJ Nevada,
- 15:33Speaker 1: how you doing? Like number four. So that is three
- 15:39Speaker 1: good karmas. Wow. All right. Now what are we doing?
- 15:53Speaker 1: Nevada says, damn it, Rosie, you work too hard. That's
- 15:56Speaker 1: an extra good karma for Nevada. So that's four good karmas.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Extra good times. All right. Let's get started. I don't
- 16:06Speaker 1: know how long this is going to last folks. As
- 16:12Speaker 1: he says, I guess I'm not like number three. Uh,
- 16:15Speaker 1: you're like, that would be four good karmas. But then, uh,
- 16:18Speaker 1: the Nevada said, uh, He got three, and then he said,
- 16:21Speaker 1: damn it, Rosie, now he's got four. So you get four. Boom.
- 16:28Speaker 1: All right. So this whole Canada associate EU member thing,
- 16:34Speaker 1: Carney's dream, the thing he's been planning all along, not
- 16:38Speaker 1: looking so good. Canada facing carbon tariff threat from European Union.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Internal documents. No exemptions for Canada despite adopting carbon pricing. Well,
- 16:52Speaker 1: Mark Carney said that we had to do all this
- 16:55Speaker 1: carbon garbage, all this carbon capture, or else we wouldn't
- 16:59Speaker 1: be competitive around the world and nobody would want to
- 17:02Speaker 1: buy our oil. Nobody would want to buy our most
- 17:06Speaker 1: precious thing in the world that everybody constantly needs. Nobody
- 17:10Speaker 1: would want it. We have to waste all this money
- 17:13Speaker 1: and spend tens of billions of dollars on subsidies for
- 17:17Speaker 1: carbon capture. Otherwise, Europe won't buy our oil. Well, they
- 17:22Speaker 1: won't anyway. It's still not enough. Carbon tariff threat from
- 17:26Speaker 1: the European Union. I mean, you just can't make this up. Also,
- 17:31Speaker 1: now it turns out that the EU members, it turns
- 17:37Speaker 1: out that the biggest members of the EU, the biggest
- 17:40Speaker 1: economies in the EU... don't want Canada to be an
- 17:43Speaker 1: associate member anyway. EU scraps associate member designation for Canada
- 17:49Speaker 1: as parties seek closer ties. So they want closer ties,
- 17:54Speaker 1: but not that close. Not that close. This whole thing
- 17:58Speaker 1: is falling apart. It's falling apart faster than his global
- 18:03Speaker 1: net zero banking alliance. Remember that, the thing that fell
- 18:11Speaker 1: apart shortly before he decided to be, he wanted to
- 18:14Speaker 1: be Prime Minister of Canada? You know, that banking alliance,
- 18:18Speaker 1: that green boondoggle banking alliance that even the Canadian banks
- 18:23Speaker 1: backed out of? Yikes. This must be embarrassing for him, huh?
- 18:30Speaker 1: You'd think so. The European Union has dropped the idea
- 18:33Speaker 1: of designating Canada an associate member, which It's still a
- 18:38Speaker 1: category that doesn't exist. Of the 27-member economic blob. Sorry.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Did I say blob?
- 18:45Speaker 3: Block.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Block. After objections from two major players, including Germany and France. Jeez.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Two major players. They're the major players. Right? One of
- 18:56Speaker 1: the biggest economies in the EU. Germany and France.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Wow. Wow.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Not looking good, because again, it's got to be embarrassing
- 19:05Speaker 1: for Carney and for Ursula. Instead, a new draft of
- 19:10Speaker 1: a joint statement to be issued during the two-day Canada-EU
- 19:13Speaker 1: summit that starts Thursday talks of an ever-closer association between
- 19:20Speaker 1: Ottawa and Brussels. What does that mean? What does that mean?
- 19:25Speaker 1: One thing you can be sure of, they'll have their
- 19:27Speaker 1: hands in Canada's pockets for anything. Or any whatever silly
- 19:32Speaker 1: name they give us or they give the arrangement. Yep,
- 19:38Speaker 1: it's starting to hurt people. My face is starting to
- 19:42Speaker 1: hurt again just from that amount of talking. We'll power
- 19:46Speaker 1: through at least until we get through the end of
- 19:48Speaker 1: this story. The EU bought about 43 billion of Canadian
- 19:54Speaker 1: goods in 2025, roughly 1% of what it imports, according
- 19:55Speaker 1: to a new report from TD Economics. That doesn't sound
- 19:58Speaker 1: so great. But maybe we can get it to 2%.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Let's see. Here's our trading partners. Here's who we export to.
- 20:17Speaker 1: United States, 73%. United Kingdom, 6.1%. China, 4.5%. Japan, 1.2%.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Where's France? France is 0.65%. It's almost like they don't
- 20:30Speaker 1: want to trade with Canada. It's almost like they don't
- 20:33Speaker 1: want to import what we're selling. Let's see, Italy, 0.51%. Huh.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Is Germany even in here? Where's Germany? Switzerland? Malaysia? Where's
- 20:47Speaker 1: Germany in there? Must be over here. No, Germany is
- 20:55Speaker 1: really not interested in what Canada is selling. Well, here's
- 20:58Speaker 1: the thing. We don't have cheap labor here, right? And
- 21:02Speaker 1: everything is really far away. They're thousands of miles away
- 21:06Speaker 1: across a giant hostile ocean. So not really perfect for trade.
- 21:14Speaker 1: If you've got cheap labor, well, that's one thing. Like
- 21:17Speaker 1: China or Vietnam or something. If you're Canada, it's not
- 21:20Speaker 1: going to work out so well. And they have their
- 21:22Speaker 1: own industries to protect, their own manufacturers to protect, and
- 21:25Speaker 1: they're quite protectionist.
- 21:28Speaker 2: So.
- 21:29Speaker 1: As you can see, this whole thing is just a boondoggle. Yes,
- 21:34Speaker 1: diversify as much as possible, but let's not... Yes, diversify
- 21:41Speaker 1: as much as possible, but let's not spin fairy tales
- 21:44Speaker 1: about the EU is going to replace our trade with
- 21:47Speaker 1: the United States. That's just silly.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Uh....
- 21:53Speaker 1: Exports to the EU amounted to 5% to 6% of
- 21:56Speaker 1: Canada's merchandise exports, roughly the same share as shipments to
- 22:00Speaker 1: the United Kingdom or China. That's the EU. That's all
- 22:03Speaker 1: of those countries. Germany, France, Italy, all the rest of them.
- 22:07Speaker 1: All together. And again, the biggest economies are France and
- 22:12Speaker 1: Germany and Italy. And I doubt very much that they're
- 22:18Speaker 1: going to be able to double how much they buy.
- 22:20Speaker 1: And even if they did, it still wouldn't matter at all.
- 22:24Speaker 1: EU officials told journalists earlier this week Ottawa and Brussels
- 22:28Speaker 1: are working towards a digital trade agreement. What? Digital trade
- 22:33Speaker 1: agreement that will cement rules for online trade. How exciting.
- 22:37Speaker 1: How exciting. It's not going to help any manufacturers in Canada.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Dan Aykroyd is still going to have to shut down
- 22:44Speaker 1: his crystal skull vodka company. because EU is not going
- 22:48Speaker 1: to ride into the rescue for that. You know, somebody
- 22:50Speaker 1: making furniture in Canada is not going to have to
- 22:52Speaker 1: shut down or move to the States. But at least
- 22:55Speaker 1: we're getting a digital trade agreement. And at least, and again, again,
- 23:01Speaker 1: I want to say it's really important. You can breathe
- 23:04Speaker 1: a sigh of relief. It's going to cement rules for
- 23:08Speaker 1: online trade, including e-signatures and e-contracts. I mean, this is
- 23:13Speaker 1: all going to put food on the tables of Canadians, right? Wow.
- 23:18Speaker 1: Duties on electronic transmissions and e-commerce. Oh, so actually it's
- 23:23Speaker 1: not that great. So there's that. Duties are otherwise tariffs
- 23:28Speaker 1: on electronic stuff now as well. Great. This agreement would
- 23:32Speaker 1: effectively expand the Canada-EU trade agreement into digital trade, official says.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Why are we doing this? Why is a big fuss
- 23:39Speaker 1: being made about this as if somehow this is going
- 23:41Speaker 1: to save the Canadian economy? We don't even need the
- 23:44Speaker 1: United States anymore. So on one hand, we have to
- 23:47Speaker 1: conform with European regulations, and then they're going to put
- 23:52Speaker 1: duties on us? All right. Wow, great. Canada facing carbon
- 24:01Speaker 1: tariff threat from European Union internal documents. So they're meeting
- 24:05Speaker 1: in Montreal tomorrow, and I guess this is going to
- 24:07Speaker 1: be really productive. No, we don't like the idea of
- 24:11Speaker 1: you being an associate member. We don't really want people
- 24:14Speaker 1: to see us with you, quite frankly, Mark Carney. And also,
- 24:18Speaker 1: we have nothing to offer except regulations and tariffs. No
- 24:24Speaker 1: exemptions for Canada, despite adopting carbon pricing. But he said
- 24:28Speaker 1: that if we wasted all our money on subsidizing green boondoggles,
- 24:33Speaker 1: then that's the only way they'd trade with us. It's
- 24:37Speaker 1: almost like Carney... was either lying or is not as
- 24:42Speaker 1: savvy as the media has made him out to be.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Canada is facing a carbon tariff threat from the European
- 24:53Speaker 1: Union within months as the economic bloc fully implements its
- 24:58Speaker 1: carbon border adjustment mechanism, CBAN. According to internal documents CBC
- 25:04Speaker 1: News obtained through an access to information request, Canadian iron, steel,
- 25:09Speaker 1: and aluminum are not exempt from the carbon tariff, even
- 25:13Speaker 1: with Canada's national price on carbon and its decade-old trade
- 25:19Speaker 1: deal with the European Union. The memo from Global Affairs Canada,
- 25:24Speaker 1: signed on December 10, 2025, describes the CBAM as a
- 25:28Speaker 1: border charge, effectively a carbon tax. Carbon tariff. Wow. So,
- 25:37Speaker 1: what a waste of time and money. With the Canada-EU
- 25:42Speaker 1: summit this week in Montreal, Ottawa's diplomats continue to seek
- 25:47Speaker 1: an agreement with Brussels before Canadian exporters face additional compliance
- 25:52Speaker 1: costs and a carbon charge that European importers will have
- 25:56Speaker 1: to pay at the border in 2027, all for nothing.
- 26:00Speaker 1: all for nothing, our new green economy. You know, we're
- 26:03Speaker 1: going to be the most competitive country in the world
- 26:07Speaker 1: because of these boondoggles that are funded by public subsidies
- 26:13Speaker 1: and that all run back to Brookfield in some way
- 26:16Speaker 1: or other. Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Tuesday that
- 26:19Speaker 1: the summit marks the start of negotiations for Canada to
- 26:22Speaker 1: become a closer strategic partner to the 27-member bloc. Why,
- 26:28Speaker 1: at this point, why? Why do we need this? They're
- 26:31Speaker 1: not interested. The largest economies, France and Germany, and I
- 26:35Speaker 1: believe Italy as well, are not interested in this whole
- 26:38Speaker 1: associate member thing. They don't like it. They don't want
- 26:41Speaker 1: to be seen in public with us. Look, the EU countries,
- 26:45Speaker 1: they don't even like each other. You think they give
- 26:48Speaker 1: a shit about Canada? No, they do not. They're constantly
- 26:53Speaker 1: squabbling with each other already. Let's see. Now, let's see.
- 26:58Speaker 1: They're going to try and bilk us for a bunch
- 27:00Speaker 1: of border adjustments. Well, and now they're going to put
- 27:04Speaker 1: out a bunch of border adjustments. Now they're going to
- 27:08Speaker 1: put out a bunch of border adjustments for anybody who
- 27:10Speaker 1: wants to import our products. Yeah. No exemptions for Canada,
- 27:16Speaker 1: despite adopting garbage pricing. You just can't make it up.
- 27:20Speaker 1: What is the point of this? Obviously, these numbers here. France, 0.65%
- 27:26Speaker 1: of our exports. That's not going up very much. Even
- 27:31Speaker 1: if it doubled, so what? It's nothing. Italy, half a percent.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Come on. When will everybody in Canada wake up and
- 27:42Speaker 1: realize this is a joke? This is fantasy land. This
- 27:45Speaker 1: is nonsense. It's a waste of everybody's time and it's
- 27:50Speaker 1: a distraction. What's going on here? Brian Lilly. Carney's European
- 27:59Speaker 1: romance hits the rocks. Canada-EU summit starts in Montreal on
- 28:03Speaker 1: Thursday and people are having trouble agreeing to terms. Well,
- 28:08Speaker 1: this was all totally predictable. The EU is a basket case.
- 28:11Speaker 1: I've been saying this all along. I mean, we've had
- 28:17Speaker 1: a free trade deal with the EU for 10 years
- 28:19Speaker 1: and there's still 10 members that haven't ratified it yet.
- 28:23Speaker 3: I mean.
- 28:25Speaker 1: This shouldn't be surprising to anyone. What's this? Europe just
- 28:30Speaker 1: isn't that into us. But we're the most European of
- 28:35Speaker 1: non-European countries. How pathetic. The Canada-EU summit starts in Montreal
- 28:43Speaker 1: on Thursdays and people are having trouble agreeing to terms.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Politico reports that after Germany broke ranks and opposed the
- 28:50Speaker 1: associate member language, other countries followed suit. and an EU
- 28:55Speaker 1: statement on deepening ties with Canada was watered down. Watered down.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Carney went on to say that a deal with the
- 29:04Speaker 1: EU would strengthen Canada's sovereignty. How? How? How is adopting
- 29:08Speaker 1: some other, some block of other countries, some giant European bureaucracies, regulations,
- 29:15Speaker 1: and taxes, how is that making us more sovereign? It
- 29:19Speaker 1: seems like it's making us less sovereign. It's hard to
- 29:22Speaker 1: see how that, But let me just say, by the way,
- 29:25Speaker 1: it's definitely making us less sovereign. It's hard to see
- 29:29Speaker 1: how that can be the case, given the way the
- 29:31Speaker 1: EU has structured deals for other countries that want a
- 29:34Speaker 1: closer association but don't want to be full EU members.
- 29:38Speaker 1: I think Karni would love to be a full EU member,
- 29:41Speaker 1: but they're not going to let him. Norway, Iceland, and
- 29:44Speaker 1: Liechtenstein are all required to adopt a whole host of
- 29:48Speaker 1: European rules and regulations for manufacturing consumer goods, food safety,
- 29:53Speaker 1: and And more, let's not forget about all of the
- 29:58Speaker 1: digital stuff, right? Just to gain EU trade. Just to
- 30:05Speaker 1: gain EU trade access. This just objectively makes us less sovereign,
- 30:12Speaker 1: less independent. What is the point? Maybe he should be
- 30:17Speaker 1: focusing on getting a trade deal with the United States instead.
- 30:21Speaker 1: You know, the country that... We are always going to
- 30:25Speaker 1: have as our major trading partner both ways. Nothing will
- 30:28Speaker 1: ever change that. It's geography, folks. It's geography. We share
- 30:36Speaker 1: a giant border with the largest economy on Earth. All
- 30:39Speaker 1: those roads and railways and everything else that makes it
- 30:42Speaker 1: really easy for trade. And on one side, there's a
- 30:45Speaker 1: giant ocean. And on the other side, there's a giant ocean.
- 30:48Speaker 1: And to the north, there's a giant frozen wasteland. This
- 30:51Speaker 1: ain't rocket science. Okay, it's time for Canada to get real.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Let's see. Bruce McGonigal, instead of a deal with the
- 31:07Speaker 1: European Union, Canadians are likely to get carbon tariffs. A
- 31:11Speaker 1: group of countries, including Germany, Greece, and France, all objected
- 31:15Speaker 1: to mentioning associate membership in a joint EU-Canada statement. Instead
- 31:19Speaker 1: of being a pro-negotiator, Mark Carney is proving to be
- 31:22Speaker 1: an even worse leader than Justin Trudeau. Well, I've been
- 31:26Speaker 1: saying all along, you guys remember, I've been saying that
- 31:30Speaker 1: Carney is turbo Trudeau in every way. He's just as woke.
- 31:36Speaker 1: In fact, more woke, I believe, than Justin Trudeau. Fiscally,
- 31:40Speaker 1: far worse. Just take a look at the deficits. He's
- 31:45Speaker 1: doubling the deficit as far as we know so far. Right.
- 31:48Speaker 1: He's pretty fast and loose with the numbers, but we
- 31:51Speaker 1: know it's at least doubling deficits from what Trudeau was.
- 31:55Speaker 1: That's what I meant when I said turbo Trudeau. But
- 32:00Speaker 1: I think even a worse negotiator, though, than Trudeau.
- 32:03Speaker 2: I mean.
- 32:06Speaker 1: Mark Carney himself has been saying that or had been
- 32:09Speaker 1: saying until, you know, maybe the last six months, but
- 32:12Speaker 1: been saying that we had the best trade deal in
- 32:14Speaker 1: the world. Well, that was the deal under Trudeau and
- 32:17Speaker 1: Chrystia Freeland, if you can believe it. It actually makes
- 32:21Speaker 1: them look way less incompetent. It makes them look a
- 32:25Speaker 1: lot less incompetent when you're witnessing what Mark Carney has achieved,
- 32:29Speaker 1: which is worse tariffs. Worse. And Trudeau and Freeland, I
- 32:36Speaker 1: would not call them competent. But by comparison, they look
- 32:40Speaker 1: good compared to Carney. Richard Diaz. Richard Diaz posted this.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Europe's economy is in shambles and fracturing politically. The idea
- 32:50Speaker 1: that they will lead the new world order is laughable. Yes, why?
- 32:56Speaker 1: Why do we want to attach ourselves to this loser economy,
- 33:04Speaker 1: this loser bureaucracy that strangles itself economically? What is the
- 33:12Speaker 1: point of that? What did, was it Jameson Greer said that,
- 33:16Speaker 1: you know, zero growth plus zero growth is still zero growth, right?
- 33:23Speaker 1: All right. Here you go. Here's Germany's employment growth since 2022. Yeah,
- 33:32Speaker 1: going off a cliff, going off a cliff. It's a rotting,
- 33:37Speaker 1: crumbling edifice. Oh yeah, Carney said the new EU-Canada alliance
- 33:44Speaker 1: would provide major opportunities for Quebec, but Quebec Premier is
- 33:47Speaker 1: not allowed to speak at the summit or hold meetings
- 33:50Speaker 1: on the sidelines. That's a bold statement from Carney while
- 33:53Speaker 1: neglecting the participation of a Premier. I don't feel like
- 33:58Speaker 1: that's going to make him more popular in Quebec, nor
- 34:00Speaker 1: should it. He shouldn't be popular with anybody. I believe
- 34:04Speaker 1: Mark Carney is a scam artist. I believe Mark Carney
- 34:09Speaker 1: is a con man. All right. I don't think I'm
- 34:14Speaker 1: going to last much longer, guys. I'm starting to feel
- 34:16Speaker 1: some pain. I'm putting in the effort, the maximum effort
- 34:20Speaker 1: that I can, but it is hurting me. What are
- 34:28Speaker 1: you guys talking about? Anyway, I'm saying I don't know
- 34:31Speaker 1: if I can talk much longer because my mouth is
- 34:33Speaker 1: starting to really hurt. Brian Lynch says the EU is
- 34:37Speaker 1: a ship of fools. Don't climb aboard Canada. Both ways.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Izzy says, and those ships to EU will be more
- 34:47Speaker 1: expensive also. The idea that somehow EU and India and
- 34:54Speaker 1: Sri Lanka or something or Tonga are going to replace
- 34:58Speaker 1: our trade with the largest economy in the world that's
- 35:02Speaker 1: right next door is a bizarre fantasy. It's childish. Izzy says,
- 35:12Speaker 1: we have this crazy carbon tax making everything we sell
- 35:15Speaker 1: more expensive. Not expensive enough for the EU, though. All right.
- 35:24Speaker 1: I think that's it, you guys. My face is hurting now.
- 35:27Speaker 1: I don't think I can do anymore. I wanted to
- 35:28Speaker 1: show up. Hold on. Let's do a little bit more.
- 35:31Speaker 1: I'll suck it up. Hold on. Maybe those pills will
- 35:36Speaker 1: kick in a bit more. Josh Ryan Carney's housing minister.
- 35:40Speaker 1: From Josh Ryan, Cardi's housing minister tried to imply that
- 35:43Speaker 1: Pierre Polyev was a racist, but that's what they call
- 35:48Speaker 1: everybody who disagrees with them on anything all the time.
- 35:51Speaker 1: It's their magic spell. It's their magic spell. Only to
- 35:55Speaker 1: be confronted with the fact that Polyev was quoting him.
- 35:59Speaker 1: This is good. This is classic Polyev. I'm glad to
- 36:01Speaker 1: see Parliament back again because this is where Polyev really shines. Also,
- 36:07Speaker 1: when he is dressing down a biased reporter, those are
- 36:11Speaker 1: also great. But he does an awesome job in the parliament.
- 36:15Speaker 1: And you're going to want to watch this all the
- 36:17Speaker 1: way through to the end because it's good.
- 36:20Speaker 3: The leader stands up and answers questions in his house
- 36:22Speaker 3: of commons.
- 36:28Speaker 1: And Mr.
- 36:28Speaker 3: Speaker, a good leader gets results. Now we learn the
- 36:32Speaker 3: government is admitting it won't get the Prime Minister's promised
- 36:35Speaker 3: results on housing. In a response to an order paper question,
- 36:39Speaker 3: they've now admitted the Prime Minister has broken his promise
- 36:42Speaker 3: to double home building and that construction will actually fall
- 36:46Speaker 3: to near record lows over the next three years. Blaming immigration,
- 36:52Speaker 3: as the Liberals do, for the housing shortage. How could
- 36:55Speaker 3: the Prime Minister be so out of touch with Canadians
- 36:59Speaker 3: who need homes?
- 37:03Speaker 1: Thank you, Mr.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Speaker.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Well, first and foremost, I reprimand the member opposite for
- 37:08Speaker 2: constantly attacking immigrants.
- 37:13Speaker 1: It's all they've got. I mean, that is just a
- 37:15Speaker 1: veiled accusation of racism. Attacking immigrants. it is such an
- 37:21Speaker 1: idiotic and childish response. It's so cynical because he knows
- 37:25Speaker 1: we're going to find out, we're going to keep playing
- 37:27Speaker 1: through this. I'm going to show you the end. But
- 37:30Speaker 1: my point is that they know, they know that this
- 37:34Speaker 1: is a cynical ploy. It's gross. And they know it.
- 37:38Speaker 1: Like if you said, uh, if the, if the liberals
- 37:41Speaker 1: announced that they were going to bring in 20 million
- 37:44Speaker 1: immigrants next year, and you said, Hey, uh, That's going
- 37:49Speaker 1: to drive up the cost of everything. We can't handle that.
- 37:52Speaker 1: It will crush all of our infrastructure, health care and everything.
- 37:56Speaker 1: What would they say? They would say that you are
- 37:58Speaker 1: attacking immigrants, demonizing immigrants. And they'd say it with a
- 38:04Speaker 1: straight face, too. They'll keep doing it until they feel
- 38:09Speaker 1: that it doesn't work anymore. But let's continue. Mr.
- 38:11Speaker 3: Speaker.
- 38:25Speaker 2: The honourable member may continue.
- 38:28Speaker 1: And let's listen to the honourable member. Mr.
- 38:33Speaker 3: Speaker, I think.
- 38:35Speaker 2: Almost everyone in this House comes from immigrant stock. Canada
- 38:39Speaker 2: is a country of immigrants, and to blame immigrants for.
- 38:42Speaker 1: So what? That doesn't mean anything. What does that say about, again,
- 38:46Speaker 1: how many hospital beds per thousand? How many doctors per thousand? Nurses?
- 38:53Speaker 1: How many seats for students? How many police per thousand?
- 38:57Speaker 1: How many places to live do we have? And how
- 39:01Speaker 1: many people can we fit into those places? That's what matters.
- 39:07Speaker 1: None of what he's saying matters. It's just a bunch
- 39:11Speaker 1: of childish, cynical ploy to protect themselves.
- 39:17Speaker 2: The housing crisis is absolutely unfair and unjust.
- 39:19Speaker 1: It's a little loud.
- 39:22Speaker 2: It's a little loud. I don't want to reprimand anybody either.
- 39:25Speaker 1: So the Honourable Leader of the Opposition. Mr.
- 39:29Speaker 3: Speaker, the member says he wants to reprimand anybody who
- 39:32Speaker 3: blames excessive immigration numbers for the housing shortage. Well, let
- 39:38Speaker 3: me read directly from a document that he tabled in
- 39:41Speaker 3: this House of Commons. It is a document on the
- 39:44Speaker 3: housing shortage. It says one of the drivers of the
- 39:47Speaker 3: housing shortage has been the strong growth in housing demand
- 39:50Speaker 3: driven by immigration. Oh! Will the minister stand up now
- 39:58Speaker 3: and reprimand himself?
- 40:02Speaker 1: So that was perfect. He was ready for that. I mean,
- 40:05Speaker 1: the thing is, it's so predictable. You know what they're
- 40:07Speaker 1: going to say, right? If you talk about, you know,
- 40:10Speaker 1: immigration numbers in Canada, it is guaranteed that they're going
- 40:14Speaker 1: to imply that you are a racist, that you're demonizing,
- 40:17Speaker 1: and it's all just hate. Just hate. It's as predictable
- 40:23Speaker 1: as the sun rising tomorrow. It's as predictable as anything.
- 40:27Speaker 1: You know they're going to do it. So it's not
- 40:29Speaker 1: hard for him to set that trap. It was easy
- 40:32Speaker 1: and it was perfect. And again, it exposes that they
- 40:36Speaker 1: know it. They all know it. They know what's going on.
- 40:39Speaker 1: But they assume that Canadians are stupid or at least
- 40:42Speaker 1: enough Canadians are stupid that they'll just eat up their slop.
- 40:47Speaker 1: And they've been right. Now, hopefully, hopefully, We're going to
- 40:52Speaker 1: get to a point where they'll be wrong about that.
- 40:56Speaker 1: It's not today. It's not today, but hopefully, and hopefully
- 41:00Speaker 1: not too far off.
- 41:03Speaker 3: All right.
- 41:07Speaker 1: So I'm sorry, guys. It's getting quite uncomfortable now talking
- 41:12Speaker 1: these dental issues. My apologies. I came out tonight. I
- 41:18Speaker 1: wanted to do something tonight. But that's as much as
- 41:23Speaker 1: I can do. Let's see. So anyway, we're going off.
- 41:29Speaker 1: It hurts me to talk, so I'm not going to
- 41:31Speaker 1: expand this. Thanks for showing up, you guys. We'll give
- 41:34Speaker 1: it another try tomorrow night. Hopefully I can go the
- 41:36Speaker 1: whole stream tomorrow. But thanks, you guys. And sorry that
- 41:42Speaker 1: the stream is not as long as normal. But I
- 41:46Speaker 1: will try again tomorrow. Good night, you guys.
