🔴 China REJECTS Trump’s Demands—Canada Suddenly Under Scrutiny

Happy stay patty stay folks hope we're doing well in this beautiful when Tuesday morning actually on this March 17th 2026 baby the world's going crazy

But let's give it going today it all starts now

Great for me back on with you yet again. I have a lot to discuss

Quite a bit again. I'm discussing yesterday afternoon's episode the friction and tension between NATO and Trump China and Trump

Trump and everybody at this point in time we're discussing that and what this means for Canada moving forward and the fact that China is not moving

Trump is not moving and each is trying to use its leverage on each other around this conflict in Iran

Oh baby there's a lot to discuss regarding that and as well as the fact that the constant theme that keeps coming up of these Chinese EVs is starting to erupt in other countries and to other allies around the globe

And our defense minister being out to lunch not knowing what's going on

It doesn't know how to answer those questions and then as well we will finish off with just overall what Canada's role in all the chaos is

What car he's what car he's doing him doing more deals in the UK of course and now is on vacation which is you know

Part for the course for any liberal prime minister over the past 10 years at this point in time isn't it?

Well welcome to the other report I'm your host Josh for getting value from today's episode take the time to like share and subscribe

It helps us to grow it helps us to get to new audiences and helps people see there's something different than what the main stream media has to offer

And shout out the chat y'all look amazing you look beautiful and I'm seeing hex fire through thirty thirty seven say morning from wolf fill we love wolf fill out here

We'll fill Nova Scotia shout out we love to see it

We got Ed Kennedy coming in from Ontario we have whoa

We got Fabulous vibes come from Ping Young North Korea

Shout out you sure you guys are hilarious. This is awesome. I cannot wait to get this party going let's jump into it shall we

So let's start off this Wall Street Journal article shall we

Things do we have to take into account is the fact that this is being what's being reported as if this came out in eight PM Eastern time

Last night since Iran unleashes new crackdown on its people to head off uprising battered by us in Israeli attacks

Iranian security forces are launching new arrests and warning of no mercy for protesters

Iran's rulers have unleashed a new crackdown against a message to send arresting people suspected collaborating with foreign entities and threatening

To be protesters with death to hold back the risk of not rising Iranian security forces have been battered by us in Israeli attacks

And bombing rates have shattered the headquarters and command posts of them moving forward. So this is where we are currently yet is you know from what we're seeing in reading

Iran is holding its own but it's definitely not doing too hot at the same time

And when you have the start quell dissent in your country to their fence essentially fighting now two wars

They're trying to fend off the US in Israel at the same time

They're trying to quell a potential for essentially civil unrest and civil war within their country

They're fighting a two front war

Well technically I guess you could say a three front war he got the US Israel and now their own people

So we will see where this goes and I think this is important because it sets up the conversation for where things are going today

This came from the while the New York Times says Trump's threat to delay summit with she cast new shadow over China relations

President Trump warned that he could postpone a meeting set to begin in just over two weeks if China refuses to help reopen the straight

And if I mean quite honest with you what you need is the headline and the byline and that's exactly what is currently happening

It's all the information you need at this present time

And it's funny your perspective how perspective changes depending where you're at

You know your view on this change that changes I should say depending on where you're at and your view of it

If you are a person who's supporting what Donald Trump Donald Trump and Israel are doing well you're gonna view this as him extracting leverage and trying to get China to move

If you are anti-Trump you're seeing this as Trump looking weak and didn't realize what he was getting himself into and now is asking for help from his NATO allies from China to help reopen the straight of hormones

And it's kind of I stand as you know anyone who watches this show is I'm always somewhere in the middle on this

And so where I'm at is I think it's definitely a possibility where the Trump administration may have underestimated or Trump himself underestimated the

How Iran was going to withstand everything that happened and what some of the follow would have been and I think that's may have been a bit of a surprise

However, we all know as well is I'm not on the side of the him just kind of like you know slipping on the banana peel multiple times into the correct situation and the correct move

I think Donald Trump in some ways weaponizes what the media views amaz

And he the view in the media if you talk to any of your of your left-wing friends you'll know this and see this is the media and the left view don't Trump

As an absolute moron he's an idiot he doesn't know what he's talking about he he comes across as an idiot and quite frankly

I think don't Trump uses that to his advantage and to everyone's downfall is that's been the story of his presidency

Since the first term and now the second term is to everyone's to their mistake and to their demise I should say is the word I'm looking for is they underestimate Trump

They underestimate what he's what he's about what he's trying to do and I that's what we that's a story that keeps happening time and time and time again

People underestimate him and then he does something that is like oh shoot didn't expect that to happen he does a good job of weaponizing him at the population viewing him as an idiot

And I think this is what we're at right now is U.S. is feeling some pressure Trump is feeling some pressure at the moment

He needs to get that straight of hormones opened and because again 20% of oil goes to the straight of hormones and it's causing a lot of issues on the global stage

In reality it's not impact this isn't really impacting the U.S. and what I mean by that is U.S. gets maybe I think was a 5% to 7% of their oil comes through the straight of hormones

Otherwise they are able to be very much be self-sufficient what they need

It's just the rest of the globe and that needs that thing opened up and this is the pressure that Iran is trying to extract on the U.S.

is shut off the straight and force everyone to get mad at the U.S. which will then force U.S. to back off

That's what they're hoping and so now Donald Trump is taking those chess pieces that have been put in front of him

And now he's trying to start moving those himself

He's now saying hey NATO it's time for you to start helping come on down

Let's help open the straight of hormones and much of the NATO allies are saying no this is your war we're staying out of it

And so Trump turns and says China you should open the straight of hormones and China says no Iran's our ally why would we do that?

And this is where I feel like this is where the strategy is really coming in and you can disagree that's fine

But the strategy I'm seeing coming in right now is U.S. doesn't really need the straight hormones

They do need the support of the globe and not disrupting the globe and everyone will get mad at the U.S. that's what they need right now

But in terms of the goods going through the straight of hormones China needs that China really needs the straight opened

And this is what's happening is you Trump is trying to stay out of the business of the U.S. operating in different parts of the world

I know it's kind of funny we hear them you know bombing you're on but from what we're seeing this is definitely a geopolitical play

And the U.S. that's how you know and we're starting to see a bit of a civil war amongst the MAGA group in the U.S. where they don't view this as being America first

This is just more unaparity endless wars that are happening we're seeing that fight happening in some parts of the conservative right in the U.S.

And then there's others who are very much on board and they're seeing what's happening and they're agreeing that yes it's a international war that isn't in part of the world doesn't necessarily impact the U.S.

However, it really has some serious geopolitical ramifications for what is currently happening because Trump wants to take care of business in Iran take care get the eye toll out get that all sorted

get Western friendlies in there and cut off China that's what that is

And we've talked about this I know as you meant this on the show and so the reason why Trump doesn't want to use U.S. forces to open the straight of hormones or use the little of them is because China needs the straight

So if China needs the straight opened then China should reopen the straight and that's the pressure point that he is trying to press on right now with China

And he's trying his best to try to again clean up Iran and then allow other countries to come in and keep that straight open

And as you know that whole situation that Iran gets sorted out the China is in a tough spot because if they do open the try to open the straight of hormones

Well, then they look like a traitor to Iran and that puts them in a tough spot with all their allies that they've been building and creating over the past several decades

And maybe who knows maybe that's the time they bring Kim Jong Un and help them out who knows but this is the part that's in issue and so China's like is playing the is playing the time game now is saying well U.S. needs needs more time

or sorry it needs to get this done as soon as possible so if we can buy our time it's going to force other people to get more and more upset with U.S. and U.S. has just got to open it themselves so we'll see how that goes and so we're going to hands off on this one and we're not going to bother

And then Trump said okay I see what you're doing here and I you know I then will do this I'll move to delay our summit what are you going to do about that and that's exactly what we're seeing here

President Trump has threatened to postpone a long plan summit with Chinese leaders Xi Jinping as he called on China to send warships to help reopen the straight of hormones casting a new shadow over the relationship between the world's two biggest economies

Mr Trump told the financial times on Sunday that he made a lay the meeting which is expected to start on March 31st in Beijing if China does not answer his demand to help reopen the straight of shipping in the next two weeks

Mr Trump said that waiting until the summit for an answer may be too long

We like to know before that he said China is one of the several countries that have responded cautiously to Mr Trump's demands for naval assistance to thwart Iran's efforts to block the straight which is a transit route for about a fifth of the world's oil

China the biggest buyer of Iranian oil has not responded directly to Mr Trump's remarks but as previously called for the secession of hostilities

So that's the game that we're seeing right now that's where we're at

So with that happening on one front with China and the US just kind of playing what's going to happen playing chicken seeing who will fold first

Then he is again Trump we saw this yesterday Trump took issue with the NATO allies not willing to come in and help with opening the straight of hormones and this was his response to that

The House and the Senate and I'll say why are we protecting countries that don't protect us and I've always felt that was a weakness of NATO

We were going to protect them but I always said when in need they won't protect us now this is in need need would be one of the big boys

But I will say that we built the greatest military in the world and we protect people and if we need their mindboats or if we need anything any piece of apparatus that they may have because of a situation that they have

They should be jumping to help us because we've helped them for years stay out of order

So that's how we currently have with Mr Trump saying hey goes back to what he said during Davos saying

We'll always be there to help our NATO allies they're never there to help us and that comes back to the tension that we see is many people see this was as an unnecessary conflict

They don't want to get involved with unnecessary conflicts versus Trump is seeing this as a very necessary conflict that they needed to engage in and they're doing it to help the West

So the reason why we're not seeing any help and we're seeing a disagreement between both sides is because they both view this war seriously very significantly different ways

So that's where we stand and then we have the like you know the NATO allies just trying their best to all play together and you know hands off hands off

And I think this is where as I said yesterday this comes back down to the fracture that we're currently watching

And that's the fact that what happens next time what happens next time say Trump or one of someone who is Trump aligned is in power

And a NATO ally is attacked. Does the U.S. just let it happen now?

I think that's where the source of the caution in concern is going at this point is unless it impacts the U.S. directly

I don't know if the U.S. will lift a finger at this point. I don't know.

I will go back to the chat on that one and see what their thoughts are. However, we will put pause for two seconds as I go to the chat

And a quick question for you folks. I'm actually put this out here because I want to get your perspective on this because I've seen like couple comments starting in and out

And I'm being quite frank with you. I have very little control over what YouTube does with ads during live streams

But I'm seeing couple comments pop up here and there saying that they are having a hard time that they keep getting incessant ads throughout the live stream.

So if that's the truth, I'm going to put a poll here and get an idea and gauge of where what's happening with the ads that YouTube keeps putting in.

If there's anything that is happening, I can try to see if there's something I can do about that for future live streams.

And so I'm going to put that as a pass of poll as we go throughout here.

And with pop up here just me Nicole says good morning folks discuss opinion and hit the like yes, thank you Nicole 100% we love to see we want to see.

So this is where we are currently at so if we go to this political article.

So this is how Canada's embrace of Chinese EVs could scramble the American market and so we know political very well they're very much in the pocket of the liberal government here in Canada very much have a very left wing perspective and anything they can do to dunk on the conservatives that's what they'll do and that's another way of what we're going to read this arc let's the tone you should read it with.

Canada's import plans reverse years of North American policy that treated the cheap high tech Chinese cars as an economic threat.

As Canada begins important in the EVs US residents and board cities like Detroit and Buffalo New York may see their northern neighbors at the wheel or American tourists visiting Canada may experience brands like Xiaomi leap motor leap motor and BYD when taking a ride share.

The situation the US and Canada sought to avoid for years worried that the introduction of China's low cost high tech EVs would undermine domestic automakers and lead to Chinese surveillance.

But President Donald Trump's 25% tariff of Canadian autos and auto parts that scrambled in North American market.

Canada's diversifying promise once reliable now unpredictable interesting board choice there and that tells you exactly the theme or the events need to read this in.

Now unpredictable American partner in seeking a new global role as a maker and export of EVs that could provide China with a beach head that will familiarize Chinese automakers with American tastes and help them enter the only major global market they haven't yet cracked.

Whether it's 2027 or 2037 we can expect to see more Chinese automakers coming to the US market said Stephanie Brinley an auto analyst and SMP global mobility that's the trajectory.

In January can any prime minister mark current reverse years of Canadian industrial policy and slash tears to avoid limit allowing a limited number of Chinese EVs to start 49,000 vehicles can be imported cheer up hair for eight of 6% only five years and ports can grow to 70,000 vehicles annually as we know that story here as Canadians.

So we have this has come up which has caused a bit of an issue where Trump's bravado and loud personality has allowed the Liberal Party here in Canada to talk to you extensively to use him as a scapegoat for all their problems and issues.

So now they've essentially conditioned their voters to say Trump is bad he's the reason why everything's bad liberals have done everything good it's just Trump's fault that everything in Canada is going negatively in this article takes the same tone.

Because of Trump well Canada had to go to China Canada had to go to China now they're bringing these EVs and now Americans are going to get tasted the beautiful Chinese technology.

At no point in those early parts of this article which is typical people read mainly people headline read then they'll maybe a few people read the first few paragraphs and then they won't read the rest of the article.

So in that time we never point was it mentioned of the potential this serious potential of surveillance from these cars it mentions it here in the first couple paragraphs that you know people think that.

But as if it's some type of it was mentioned in tone of some type of conspiracy theory but it's a very real issue and security problem.

And so Canada has introduced and invited China to the front doorstep of the United States of America.

And the reason I want to read this article is because it's hitting on a very serious serious tension between countries right now as we're seeing things start to shift in move in the world things aren't as stable as they once were.

They are now more more uncertain because of the nature of the global orders shifting it is whether you like it or not that is what we're watching in them.

And we are starting to see that jockeying for the number one global super power China wants it US has it.

And so because of what we've seen with COVID and now the economics and instability we are start this is how it all goes down with any big shift that happens in history is that what it typically follows one big pandemic.

And that's what we're now witnessing the pandemic has happened economic instability shortly follows.

People are looking to the government to do something about it the difference of this time though.

Is all many of the governments in the west are actually working against the interests of their people.

And US is the only government right now who is acting in the interest for the most part of their people.

So we don't know where this goes so that's why we're seeing a lot of pawns in this we're seeing the middle powers getting stuck in between the likes of China and the US and their picking sides.

They are.

And so whether you like it or not through the actions of Canada and the actions that are prime minister Mark Carney he is pick chosen the side of China.

He is chosen to coalesce to China and coalesce to their tariff pressures on the Canadian market.

He's chosen to bring their EVs in and say screw you to the US and what they want to see happen.

Carney said screw you to the US on the Iranian war.

We do not support you whatsoever even though Iran hit a base for Canadian soldiers were being held or were housed I should say.

No reaction nothing saying no we're still not going to help you.

So we see those actions take place whose side do you think he's on.

We like to Poland.

Poland banned Chinese cars from military bases Chinese cars have been banned from entering a certain military bases in Poland over concerns that their sensors could be used for gathering data.

One report has also suggested that a Tesla electric vehicle was turned away the defense ministry has confirmed that is that is working on even broader measures to prevent the entry of Chinese cars from all military sites in response.

China has called on Poland not to abuse the concept of national security.

Imagine that.

And so our defense minister here in Canada got that news yesterday and was brought up and well this was his response to that.

Poland's army is banning Chinese electric vehicles from entering military bases over concerns that they could collect sensitive data.

This is the so-called spy cars argument.

Is that something that Canada would consider or that your government is not concerned about? Thank you.

About Chinese spy vehicles at bases.

To my knowledge I don't think we're purchasing vehicles from China right now that are operational at any one of our 33 bases.

Nor in our forward operating location in Latvia.

It's an interesting development.

I'm sure the Polish authorities have their own reasons for doing so.

We'll take we'll take close note of it.

Oh yeah.

Shout out to you.

Shout out to you on news.

Messing up the screen recording on that one.

But that was the that's the issue here.

Is McGinty answered a very real question there.

Was have you heard about this?

He said no.

Later on the follow up to credit to the journalist.

We're saying, yeah, how about if people just say people who work on the base have one of these cards?

Are they going to get turned away?

And his answer was like, oh well, you know, we'll look into it.

We're going to keep a close on it. That was it.

You're not getting an answer because the reality is they're going to allow China and already have allowed China into various aspects

of our country.

They have already worked their way up into specific, I don't know, seats in the Senate here in Canada.

They've worked their way into the liberal party.

The liberal party is completely corrupted by the CCP.

As we've talked about time and time again, the proof that we have for that.

So whether you like it or not, China's here.

And they're operating with the Chinese Tri-Head groups are operating with the likes of the Senate little cartel to move drug paraphernalia around our country money laundering throughout the country.

Whether you like it or not, China's here.

And our government's doing nothing about it, which shows you that they have chosen a side in this battle.

They have not chosen the side of the U.S. in our allies.

They have chosen the side of China.

I'm just going to put that out plain and simple.

If you look at the deals they've done, the moves they've made, the propaganda they pushed into our country trying to get people to be more sympathetic to China and the CCP, the PRC,

you tell me which side.

You show me all the media that shows China in a positive light in Canada.

And you show me all the media of painting the U.S. in a negative light here in Canada.

You tell me what that goes, what that is, what that means.

You tell me what that's about.

If you don't think that's Canada choosing a side, then I have a bridge to sell you in China, because that's crazy.

Absolutely bonkers.

Chats popping off.

We love to see it.

So I'm just sort of sorting through the chat when people are saying here.

Bueno Kitty brings up a great point.

It says, when in China, media was told to use burner phones.

Come on, Mark.

Who you kiddin'?

Your people say guardrails versus China is eyes wide open.

LOL clown world.

Every day is a carnival.

There it is.

But as this went on, and the questions went on to our defense minister, they were asked again about our participation with the battle in the war in Iran.

And again, this is them finally clarifying.

I think this is the first time I think we've heard the same message around three times in a row from this government.

I think they finally settled on where they want to be on this one.

And this was the answer.

But I want to be very clear on this.

This is a point I've made in my speech in the House.

I'll make it again.

Canada was not consulted before the prosecution of this particular war.

Canada is not involved in the prosecution of this war.

And Canada has no intention of being involved in the prosecution of this war.

So there has been no formal ask of Canada with respect to playing a deliberate defensive, forget me offensive role in the prosecution of this war.

And so that's where we stand today.

And Canada is monitoring the situation.

Our first and foremost priorities were twofold.

One, get Canadian citizens out of harm way if they wanted to get out of the region.

And we are working in that hour by hour, 24 hours a day with teams here and teams in the Middle East.

And two, making sure that any members of the Canadian Armed Forces, any personnel who are in the region,

we're out of harm's way and we're safe and sound.

And that is the situation.

Except for the base they are blowing up.

But glad no one was hurt.

But alas, here we are.

We won't take an offensive position and we'll make a decision if we have to take a defensive one.

Okay.

Okay.

Here it is folks is.

I'm just going to paint this as clear as I possibly can without it sounding alarmist.

But we are 100% in a hot war right now on Western values.

Watch and look around what's happening in your country.

It's becoming more acceptable.

Your governments are finding it more acceptable to allow ideology to come in here.

That is hateful and wants to kill people who believe in Western values.

And anyone who so much speaks up about those Western values is someone to be silenced or to be done away with.

That is a concern.

And you start bringing in more ideologies that are more aligned with communism.

Well, what do you get?

What do you think that is?

And so with that taking place inside of our countries on a cultural level and side of level,

that is obviously made its way up.

And now we're seeing this moves having to be made on a global level where this move with Iran.

I believe what I'm seeing is, you know, the pretext that we're given for the war.

I don't know if necessarily were the reasons.

I think the real reason was it was to need cap China.

Everything that's been done is to need cap China.

Venezuela.

Anyone who's been aligned with China is getting taken care of right now.

Venezuela was first and foremost.

Then sorting out a deal with Greenland to secure the Arctic was another.

Canada has an important role to play and we're the next situation.

We're the next dom know to get that figured out and making sure they fully secure the Arctic.

Now you've likes to be wrong.

That's what was applying China with a bunch of their oil.

And now the one that we've has not really been in talked about too much,

but it's been kind of happening in the background is Cuba.

It has just been reported that Cuba is officially in a nationwide blackout.

They have no way to produce power.

The US has brought them to their knees and you can agree or disagree.

This is against international law.

This is illegal.

You can you can make all those arguments.

The problem is is the reality that international law doesn't matter anymore.

Everything is being upended because no one has been playing a good faith.

And the US is simply responding to that.

And it's gross.

It's dirty.

It's nasty.

But that's the world we live in now.

And the US has been doing what they need to do.

Trump is doing what he feels he's due to secure this is to secure the security of the United States of America.

Cuba was the next move in that in that in that domino fall.

That's the situation.

Cuba.

Trump was asked about Cuba by Fox.

And this was his response again.

Not a nice response.

This is where we're at.

You know, all my life I've been hearing about the United States and Cuba.

When will the United States do it?

I do believe I'll be the honor of having the honor of taking Cuba.

That's a big honor.

Taking Cuba.

Taking Cuba in some form.

I mean, taking Cuba.

I mean, whether I free it, take it.

I think I could do anything I want with it.

You want another two.

They're a very weak intonation right now.

They were for a long time and very violent.

Very violent leaders.

Castro is a very violent leader.

His brother is a very violent leader.

Extremely violent.

That's how they governed.

They governed with violence.

But a lot of people would like to go back.

Okay.

You know what?

So here we go.

So he's talking about taking Cuba, freeing Cuba, whatever that means.

Either way, Cuba's falling.

And this is important because I...

This actually does filter well into the Canadian context today.

And this is the reality.

That Cuba has been a...

He said it here.

Cuba's been a weak intonation for a long time.

I think it was 2015 and 2016.

Barack Obama was the first president since the 60s

to kind of give an olive branch to Cuba.

Saying, hey, we can lift the embargo

as long as you start deciding to be a democracy.

You get rid of your communist dictators

and you implement a party system and start voting for your leaders.

And he let up a few of the embargoes,

a few of the items under the embargo,

as a show of goodwill to Cuba.

And Cuba responded with, no, we're going to do what we want.

And Trump came in and the embargoes went right back on.

And because of that,

because of the...

Cuba's decisions to want to house back in the day,

obviously, how is Russian nuclear devices?

On their island?

They are now...

We're the under the eye of the United States from that point on.

And they've become a significantly weakened and weakened nation.

And as many Canadians,

we've, I'm sure, visited Cuba on multiple occasions,

which I have.

And it is a...

It's a poor nation.

It is a poor nation.

And for the most part,

yes, their outside forces have done those things to them,

but those things have happened because of the decisions that they've made.

They're not too far off the coast of the U.S.

I've them to have Russian nuclear weapons.

It's probably not a wise move.

But because they're communist and they're aligning with the Soviet Union at the time,

that's the move they wanted to make.

U.S. ended up winning that Cold War

and Cuba paid the price for it.

And now, here we are in 2026,

they would...

Trump has done to them has not been nice.

It's been...

It's been dirty.

But they are primed for it to happen for a very, very long time.

I've pulled this article from 2016,

where Barack Obama calls for democratic and economic change in Cuba.

Voters should be able to choose their governments.

People branched like Barack Obama gave them.

And they said, no.

We're going to do what we want to do because we're Cuba.

And now they have to the point where they're so weakened

that someone like Trump could come around and say,

all right, Polk, you're done now.

Either you cease to be a nation and we take you over

or you play by our rules, which one's it going to be?

And the reason why I want to bring this story up

is because Canada finds themselves in a similar situation.

And that's what is worrying to me at this point.

We had this post from Lee Humphrey who said this.

Again, Lee has their perspective on this,

but let's read through this.

The Canadian economy doesn't suck because of Trump.

It sucks because of the decade of stupidity

by the liberal government of Canada.

The Cuban infrastructure isn't collapsing because of Trump.

It's collapsing because of the government decided

to reject Obama's offer to completely rebuild it

in exchange for creating a multi-party democracy.

It's time to grow up and stop blaming Trump

for the bad outcomes of socialist and communist governments.

And that is exactly where we find ourselves at the moment.

What Cuba is going through and it took the better part of,

let's do a math here, a better part of what's 70 years.

For them to get to the point that they're currently at,

we're 10 years into that right now.

And we're well on a way to what's happened with Cuba.

And what do you mean, Josh?

That seems to be over the overreaction.

I'm not saying we are straight but communist nation.

It's not what I'm saying.

Sure, the liberal party loves us to get to that point.

That they could be have one party rule,

or in the process of implementing with all the rules,

or all the bills are trying to bring in,

is establish a one party rule.

But it's more so they're a lack of wanting to use our resources,

lack of tapping into true Western free market capitalism

to help free our nation and allow to prosper once again.

The liberal's had it their way.

Everything would stay in the ground.

And we would buy into Carney's green grift,

and he would bankrupt our nation,

in which he's in the process of trying to do at this point.

And then our nation will have nothing.

And it just would be very weak for anyone to come

and take over as they see fit.

Because we can't defend ourselves.

We don't have an economy that can be leveraged.

We don't have an economy that we can leverage

to be able to get things from other countries.

We would be severely weakened.

And that's why I say elections have consequences.

They do.

Elections have consequences, folks.

We're seeing this right now,

where stats can't put out this infographics.

See if I can get it a little bit bigger.

We'll see if we can do this instead.

There it is.

Canadians add it with very good,

perfect functional health.

The yellow is 2015.

The deep blue is 2019.

And then the lighter blue is 2024.

And so again, Canadians with very good,

perfect functional health.

It's gone down in every province since 2015.

We're on the managed decline, folks.

But hey, we have free health care, right?

Just like Cuba.

It's only declining because we have poor leadership

in this country who want to bankrupt a country

for their own gain.

And the obvious, very, very obvious argument

you're going to hear from the left is,

oh, but the health care is taking care of by the provinces.

Cool, bro.

Every province between the last nine years,

at least when it comes to this,

stat, have all seen different stripes of government

at different times.

And they are all seeing the same decline.

BC from 64% or 64.7 down to 53.2.

Alberta has gone from 70.1 down to 54.6.

Sask 68.6 to 53.4.

Manitoba has gone from 7.1 down to 56.1.

And it goes on and on and on and on.

It's a decline across the entire country.

It doesn't matter which parties empower.

There is one common denominator in that time.

And that is the federal government and their decisions

to completely and utterly run up the money printer,

devalue our currencies, not export,

anything of value to the world,

and say we're going to get better through the green grift.

They have health care declining.

People being healthy is declining because people,

there's all plethora of issues.

Stress, people feeling stressed out,

is leading to a decline in health

because of the economy and they can't afford their bills.

You have the likes of people can't afford good food anymore,

so they have to buy trash,

leading to their health declining.

There are so many elements that all lead to this,

a decline that we're seeing in this infographic.

Welcome to the party, pal.

This is how it goes.

We'll finish off with this.

I shall hit one super chat before we move on though.

Mao Ying, Mao Xin Zhu,

says if CCP thought curbs were important to you Westerners,

they would have agents with chisels and hammers

in front of all your houses.

Steer clear.

That's an account that's always warning us

of the dangers of the CCP every morning.

Shout them out.

Because that think that's a great segue

into the rest of our show.

Is the fact we told you, right?

One of the deals we did,

one of the aspects of the deal that was done with China,

the MOE that we still haven't received from the government yet,

in terms of what we're providing in terms of

our national intelligence to them,

is we've sent a reporter over to CBC to report

and everything in tapping to China.

And here's a two and a half minute segment.

Talking about the plate of China

and how it's been so hard on them

due to the war that Trump has waged on Iran.

Because they're suffering because they can't get their oil

to the straight of Hormuz.

So naturally, CBC has done a piece

saying how awful it is what Trump has done

and how bad it is for the people in China.

You want to tell me who side we're taking?

We'll watch this.

At least where the ongoing conflict

is sending the cost of shipping skyrocketing

in some businesses in China say,

they are suffering.

Household goods are piling up in warehouses

as supply chains come under pressure.

But some in the business community believe

there will be opportunities for growth,

once hostilities end, and rebuilding starts.

The CBC's Chris Brown reports.

For an economy as immense as China's

the impact of the war in the Gulf is vast

but also complicated.

Take the central city of you.

This place is notable for having the largest market

for household consumer goods anywhere in the world.

80,000 stores selling jewelry, electronics, clothing.

You name it, it's here.

The Middle East is the largest destination

and all of that trade is disrupted.

Which size?

So big.

70% of this woman's footwear customers are in the Middle East.

Sue had told us the price of sending a shipping container

to the region has tripled.

So 25,000 pairs of her shoes and boots are in limbo.

Free to cost now is the price is high.

So all of this all going to the Middle East?

Yes.

At Lee Tonghui's warehouse, boxes and equipment parts

are also piling up.

So this is industrial for Iraq.

Some of that's for Lebanon.

He says prices for raw materials are rising quickly.

I believe there will be some plastic prices have gone up 40%.

This will have a significant price impact on the entire product

and supply chain if the war continues.

China is the biggest importer of Iranian oil

and pump prices here have already spiked 12%.

But China's energy grid is also increasingly powered by renewables

and cars by electric batteries.

Meaning there's also built-in resilience to any oil disruption.

Rocky Lee is with the Chamber of Commerce for this part of China.

I feel this is like the Iraq war, he says.

The United States finished the war and left,

but Iraq needed Chinese goods to rebuild.

I believe the same goes for Iran and even Israel.

That captures the pragmatic mindset of many Chinese

towards the war launched by the United States and Israel.

That in spite of short-term costs,

there could be even greater opportunities when the fighting ends.

There you go, folks.

CBC, your tax dollars at work,

playing games and playing cover for the CCP.

Look at how tough it's been on China.

But don't worry, we'll rise from the ashes

because of the big bad Americans and what they're doing.

That is happening in front of your very eyes right now, folks.

That is happening in front of your very eyes right now.

The reason why I wanted to play that whole clip out

is to give you a strong sense of what CBC is pushing out to their viewers.

Pushing out more propaganda to get more people to hate the US

and align more with China.

But guess what?

I'm not playing these games anymore, man.

This is severely dangerous, and I'm done with it.

I don't know what Karni's really trying to do.

I don't know how much of this is really just ideological for him.

I don't think it is ideological for him.

I think it's simply what is going to make him more money

and he'll do whatever it takes to keep power

in order to make more money.

And don't worry, Mark Karni's not here for a long time.

I have a strong, strong sense that he will be here for the end of this term.

He gets his majority for the next three years, and then he's out.

Because that's his track record. He goes into places.

He's only there for a certain amount of time.

Three, four, five years, and then bounces.

He's coming in. He's bankrupting our country.

And before anyone, especially his base realize what's going on,

boom, he's gone.

Dooses.

And we're left holding the bag once again.

And a country that's already been on the ropes

and already on the verge of tapping out.

He's coming to collect the carcass.

And that's why this show is going so hard on the liberal government, Karni.

It goes so hard on Mark Karni and calling this stuff out.

Because it is so very dangerous.

You have the propaganda of the regime, like Laura Babcock,

who will say everything's awesome.

Karni's great.

Don't worry. Don't listen to all the hate out there.

Meanwhile, our healthcare is just in the dumps.

Crime is rampant.

They're driving in bills to censor more people.

What do you expect me to think when I see all this happen, guys?

Unemployment is just unreal right now.

And trying to mask the unemployment number so it doesn't look as bad as it really is.

This is where things are going.

Mark Karni posted this, though.

Canada, Nordic countries, vowed closer collaboration as middle, power, block.

Congratulations, folks.

So awesome.

Canada is forging new partnerships with like my own allies to build a stronger,

better, stronger, and more just future.

Yep.

We're going to show America what's up with the lack of military behind it.

I read this.

It made me instantly think of Mark Ruta saying this.

So when President Trump is doing good stuff, I will play.

And I don't mind him publishing text messages.

And if anyone thinks here, again, that the European Union or your person whole can defend itself without the U.S.

Keep on dreaming.

You can't.

We can't.

We need each other.

And why do we need each other?

I tell you.

First of all, because also the U.S. needs NATO.

And the U.S. is not only a NATO to prevent a mistake after the first world war,

not to reengage with Europe.

And then again, the long arm of history reaching out to the U.S. again in the second world war,

as Churchill famously said in his speech in 1941 in the U.S. Congress.

They are also in NATO because for the U.S. to stay safe,

and by the way, Arctic region is evidence here.

They need a secure Arctic.

They need a secure Euro-Atlantic, and they also need a secure Europe.

So the U.S. has every interest in NATO as much as Canada and the European NATO NATO allies.

But for Europe, if you really want to go with a loan and those who you are planning for that,

forget that you can never get there with 5%.

It will be 10%.

You have to build up your own nuclear capability.

That costs billions and billions of euros.

You will lose then in that scenario you would lose the ultimate guarantor of our freedom,

which is the U.S. nuclear umbrella.

So, hey, good luck.

That's the reminder, folks.

So these middle powers try to cause players if they are a significant player

and have any real say in how it controls anything that goes on the world.

I just reminded of that statement going off a couple months ago.

We'll finish off from last minute.

Super chats and we'll end off there.

Of course, I got a refreshing getter going here, folks.

Okay.

Holy jump, and I missed a lot.

Okay, Mao Jingzhi says,

Greetings, friendly Westerners from Smoggy Downtown Beijing.

Just a reminder to never trust my government, the CCP.

All they are good at is lying.

These accounts are wild, man.

First off, there's no chance you're actually your invasion right now.

No chance.

Just saying that, your invasion.

But hilarious, nonetheless.

Still funny.

HD Dave says,

I also disagree with buying Korean subs.

Fair play.

Bandit 249 sauce says,

Dang it.

I'm late.

Good morning, Canada.

Always happy to have you, Bandit.

It's always good to have you here.

Mike Stewart says,

Did you look up looking to the uprisings in China?

I've only been kind of seeing more so the uprisings in the military ranks in China

in terms of the actual civilian uprisings.

I've still not been seeing anything of the sort.

Hit me up at high at lvpodcast.ca with an e with like,

If you have links, send them my way.

I want to see them.

Bandit 249 sauce says,

We still remember the Cuban Missile Crisis.

We aren't going to let that happen again.

Very fair play.

Fox patina hat says,

If China continues,

US may cut oil refining.

We'll see what happens.

There's more America can do than just that.

Trump has already alluded to it.

100% tariffs across the board.

Boom.

That's already one thing,

which would completely ruin us.

I was actually talking to Reg this morning.

And I just had a thought.

I was just kind of seeing how everything's transpiring and playing it right now.

And I posted this on an X as well.

It's just the reality.

Everything's kind of coming together for me.

And I texted Reg and I was like,

Mark Carney is going to completely scrap Christmas, isn't he?

Mark Carney is totally going to scrap Christmas.

He's going to play his cars make it look like it was Trump's plan

and wanted to what Trump wanted to do.

But this was a harm sent Mark Carney doesn't want

Cosmeter to be renewed.

I'm feeling that's about to happen.

But anyways,

Lazarus 8447 says,

Does Carney shares knee pads with the CBC when it comes to CCP?

I can't wait to be either the 51st state

of the territory of America.

Oh, gee.

Oh, do you hear me?

I don't want to, I don't want any of these things.

I want us to be a sovereign country for goodness sakes.

But I also can acknowledge the natural conclusion

if we continue on the path that we're at, unfortunately.

Papa Bear Sensei says,

Canada went from a first world country

to a middle power in just a decade.

Well,

those are two separate things.

You can still be a first world country in a middle power.

It's more of the issue of

first world countries more so in economic standing

and middle power is more in a military standing, more so.

I guess they both can be conflated

and brought together at various points

and that, you know, depending on the topic.

But we have been a first world country

but we've always been a middle power.

We've never been an economic superpower.

That's just a reality.

Because we've always had a high living standards

but because of the size of our country in terms of our population,

we've never been able to,

we would never be able to take over the US and their economy

or China for that matter of India.

But we've always had, before at the Trudeau years,

we've always had a high level of living,

which wouldn't make us a first world country.

But we've always been a middle power.

Mao Zinis says,

I'll help you all again.

Oh, yeah, we read this before.

Number 8447 says, when it comes to unemployment numbers,

those are based on people on EI.

Plenty of people who either ran out of EI

or don't qualify for it.

If they added in all the people who ran out

or don't qualify, numbers would be bigger.

Yes, you were 100% correct.

They do not, and also don't include the people

who have just stopped looking altogether.

I'm very interested in what the numbers really are.

We're definitely in the double digits, at least.

From my perspective,

we're probably in the double digits already

of unemployment numbers, unfortunately.

Soon as all silver says,

Canada is dead.

If liberals get a majority for the next three years,

Canadians will choose EV and censorship

because of TDS.

Are we done losing it?

I don't think they had enough yet, soon as all silver.

I don't think Canada has had enough yet.

But I do go back to what I said yesterday,

is unfortunately more pain does have to come

for some people to get it.

However, from some of the,

as I said, the AM radios I've tuned in,

from time to time, just to hear what people are saying.

They know in their hearts that Mark Curry is not the answer.

They know in their hearts that things aren't going well.

And we saw from the likes of advocacy data,

which they, you know, they try to push you

in a certain direction on that,

but there were some other points of that data

that caught my attention.

And that this middle ground of people being unsure

where they want to go,

what's going on is growing.

Less people are actually supporting Mark Curry,

and more people are becoming uncertain of Mark Curry.

And that's growing.

And it's on the concerns of Pierre Paulier

to cannibalize that middle ground.

It's very incumbent upon them to do that.

And they have to fight.

They have to fight.

They have to earn it.

They don't have to earn it, unfortunately.

They have a lot, they have a lot going on with them.

They have to fight it.

They have to earn it.

That's the reality.

But the opportunity is there,

no matter what the media says.

I do not care what the media says about

the conservatives or, you know,

there's no other options out there.

When I'm looking at certain data points right now

and seeing that more people are going uncertain

about Mark Curry when he's doing,

I'm seeing there's a larger and larger middle ground

to capitalize on.

It's just on Pierre Paulier,

and the messaging they need to capitalize on.

So that's where I'm at.

Rhonda says,

thank you all for joining us this morning.

Please check out Josh's segment this afternoon.

Hope to see you all again tomorrow.

Thank you Rhonda.

Thanks so much as we get into ending the day here.

Let's see.

We ended off close to 1,100 votes on the question

is, are the ads too much in your viewing experience

on my live streams this morning?

61% say it is too much.

39% are saying don't care.

So I'm going to look into that.

It's so, as I said, it's so tough.

I don't have a whole lot of control over it.

But I'm going to see if what I can do to lessen that load

and get that to stop,

because I know it can be quite annoying.

I need to just quite annoying.

But anyways, I'll leave it there folks.

You guys are all fantastic.

Thanks again for another amazing morning.

What did we do for analytics today folks?

What do we have?

We capped out to 2.5 today.

Good luck.

Look at us go.

Look at us go.

Fighting back is the YouTube algorithm trying to silence us.

Look at us go.

But anyways, whatever it is you doing, wherever you are.

Have a good one.

I'm out.
