Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / Pierre Poilievre BLASTS Mark Carney Elbows Up Tariff Failure
Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: So from a Jinglai Hey breaking, Pierre Polyeff says that
- 0:08Speaker 1: if he were PM, he would negotiate with President Trump
- 0:11Speaker 1: out of respect and strike a deal that sees both
- 0:14Speaker 1: sides remove each other's tariffs. So that sounds a very
- 0:19Speaker 1: sane actually, because all that elbows up got us worst
- 0:23Speaker 1: tariffs and ending up in a worse spot. So now
- 0:27Speaker 1: with Carnie removing the reciprocal tariffs, we're just back at
- 0:33Speaker 1: the start again. Now we're just back at zero again.
- 0:35Speaker 1: So now things have been just simply reset and so
- 0:38Speaker 1: they could finally actually start working out something productive. But
- 0:42Speaker 1: months have been wasted and untold damage has been done
- 0:46Speaker 1: to Canada. So let's hear what Pierre's approach would be.
- 0:50Speaker 2: For that by now one hundred and sixty days in
- 0:53Speaker 2: we'd have new markets, new projects to get our goods
- 0:57Speaker 2: overseas so that we could negotiate a deal. And you
- 1:00Speaker 2: asked me whether I would have my goal would be
- 1:03Speaker 2: to have tariffs gone on both sides of the border.
- 1:06Speaker 2: I would have gone to the President respectfully and said,
- 1:09Speaker 2: you really, you remove your tariffs, we remove ours. Let's
- 1:13Speaker 2: sign an agreement that restores the great free trading relationship
- 1:18Speaker 2: that our two countries had for decades and that work
- 1:21Speaker 2: for both nations. That is what Prime Minister Carney promised
- 1:25Speaker 2: during the election, and that's what I would have delivered
- 1:27Speaker 2: in his place.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Yeah, that just sounds like sanity. Right, don't do the
- 1:32Speaker 1: worst thing, the most counterproductive thing possible. Get your elbows down.
- 1:39Speaker 1: It's stupid, it's not co true. We can't win a
- 1:42Speaker 1: trade war with the United States, that's just not possible.
- 1:47Speaker 1: We don't have the leverage. So this sounds good to me, right,
- 1:51Speaker 1: I like the sounds of let's get tariffs on both
- 1:54Speaker 1: sides gone, because the United States is the largest economy
- 1:58Speaker 1: in the world and it's going to be our largest
- 2:00Speaker 1: customer regardless. Right, there's no oceans between us, there's no
- 2:05Speaker 1: frozen wastelands between us. Okay, the sane thing to do
- 2:11Speaker 1: is simply to just hold your tongue, don't negotiate it
- 2:14Speaker 1: in public, right, and just try and figure out something
- 2:19Speaker 1: that will work so that we can maintain the relationship
- 2:22Speaker 1: and actually frankly deepen it. That doesn't mean that you're
- 2:25Speaker 1: not trying to get your leg to Europe, of course
- 2:28Speaker 1: you are, or to Japan, of course you are. That
- 2:30Speaker 1: you're not trying to that you're not approving and speeding along,
- 2:37Speaker 1: you know, national energy projects, you know, encouraging investment into
- 2:42Speaker 1: a resource sector in Canada. Of course you're doing that, right,
- 2:46Speaker 1: and of course you're looking for trade outside of the
- 2:49Speaker 1: United States as well. It gives you a bit of
- 2:51Speaker 1: breathing room, right, it's a bit of security. But it's
- 2:54Speaker 1: always going to be the United States is going to
- 2:56Speaker 1: be the biggest trading partner. Obviously, we're right next to
- 3:00Speaker 1: each other. There's these roads that go back and forth,
- 3:02Speaker 1: and like railway lines and stuff. It sure makes a
- 3:05Speaker 1: lot of sense. So maybe acting like an adult, showing
- 3:10Speaker 1: some stoicism and not being reactive babies and going elbows up.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I'm kind of more in favor of Pierre's approach Chare,
- 3:20Speaker 1: which is just try and get something done for the country.
- 3:24Speaker 1: But we shall see, we shall see. Here's Pierre again.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Just he's being very based and I'm liking it a lot.
- 3:34Speaker 1: We need to get rid of the industrial carbon tex obviously.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Obviously I've been saying the entire time that Trump endorsed
- 3:44Speaker 1: Mark Kearney because he knew that Mark Kearney's policies, his
- 3:48Speaker 1: policies to punish Canadian industry would drive investment in Canadian
- 3:53Speaker 1: companies down south, and it has been that's why he
- 3:57Speaker 1: wanted Carney because it would fall just right in his plans.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Let's hear what Pier Polyff has to say.
- 4:05Speaker 2: But one tariff that I will be cutting for sure
- 4:08Speaker 2: and I will push the Prime Minister to cut for
- 4:10Speaker 2: sure on our steel and aluminum is the industrial carbon tax.
- 4:14Speaker 2: I find it astonishing. While Donald try under stand Donald
- 4:17Speaker 2: Trump's priority is to bring to take Canadian jobs and
- 4:22Speaker 2: move them to the United States. He's been very blunt
- 4:24Speaker 2: about that. What I don't understand is why Prime Minister
- 4:27Speaker 2: Carney would help him do it with an industrial carbon
- 4:31Speaker 2: tax on our steel and aluminum products. So our workers
- 4:35Speaker 2: are not only hit with Trump teriffs, but with Carney's
- 4:38Speaker 2: tax carbon tax. We need to get rid of the
- 4:40Speaker 2: industrial carbon tax. And if Mark Karney will adopt the
- 4:43Speaker 2: Canadian Sovereignty Act, then that will include the total elimination
- 4:48Speaker 2: of the entire carbon tax, including for steel and aluminum.
- 4:52Speaker 1: It just is grown up, right, like this is this
- 4:56Speaker 1: is just pragmatic stuff. This is just realistic. This is
- 5:02Speaker 1: what we're hearing here. It's not politics, right, this is
- 5:05Speaker 1: just pragmatic stuff that's good for the country, and it really,
- 5:11Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of depressing to think about how
- 5:13Speaker 1: much time has been wasted and how much damage has
- 5:16Speaker 1: been done to the country because of the elbows up
- 5:21Speaker 1: a hoax. I guess you call it now, the hoax,
- 5:25Speaker 1: you know, the cynical political ploy from Mark Carty and
- 5:29Speaker 1: his advisors. We could have had somebody responsible and actually
- 5:34Speaker 1: with the country's interest at heart the entire time. Instead,
- 5:40Speaker 1: months have been wasted, months have been wasted while other countries,
- 5:44Speaker 1: every other country around the world has been coming up,
- 5:46Speaker 1: has been coming to some agreement with the United States,
- 5:49Speaker 1: it's beneficial for them. And here we are, last in line,
- 5:54Speaker 1: last in line, having done ourselves, no favors whatsoever, right
- 5:59Speaker 1: right where we started, with nothing to show for it, nothing,
- 6:04Speaker 1: in fact, a great deal of damage done to the country.
- 6:07Speaker 1: I get so peer polyeff no wonder President Trump wanted
- 6:10Speaker 1: Mark Carti to win. Investment is pouring out of the
- 6:13Speaker 1: country forty three billion lost in three months and sixty
- 6:17Speaker 1: three billion since Carni became Prime minister. Canada suffering major
- 6:22Speaker 1: capital drain as foreign investors go MIA economist says outflow
- 6:28Speaker 1: of funds from Canadian economy since January is unprecedented. Yes,
- 6:33Speaker 1: this was all a part. Trump didn't make any secret
- 6:36Speaker 1: about his plans. He wanted to repopulate that hollowed out
- 6:40Speaker 1: industrial base in the United States. He wanted foreign investment.
- 6:44Speaker 1: He wanted foreign companies to build headquarters, but especially manufacturing
- 6:51Speaker 1: in the United States. This was no secret. It shouldn't
- 6:54Speaker 1: have been a secret to CBC or Global News or
- 6:58Speaker 1: CTV or Mark Kearney or anybody else. Very open about it. Hey,
- 7:04Speaker 1: come down here, you're gonna get preferential treatment. Come into
- 7:07Speaker 1: my loving arms. That's what Trump was saying. None of
- 7:11Speaker 1: it should have been a surprise to anybody. But yeah,
- 7:14Speaker 1: that's this is elbows up. Well, now it's elbows down. Obviously,
- 7:19Speaker 1: investment down, elbows elbows down, elbows up was maybe the
- 7:24Speaker 1: most I guess, probably the most damaging political scam in
- 7:30Speaker 1: Canadian history. Maybe. Anyway, that's all I'm gonna say about that.

- 7:39Speaker 1: I thank you for that. I will see you next time.
