You guys remember Canada? 🇨🇦 Like when Canada was actually Canada… When it had Canadian values that people from across the world actually wanted to come and embrace… Not a place where a whole bunch of people who aren’t Canadian get shipped in and then tell you what a...

VP Vance was asked about the ongoing tariff negotiations with Canada, and what he’d say to Maine businesses and consumers worried about the impact of those tariffs. His answer was 🔥🔥🔥 "Well, first of all, I’d say we’re very mindful of the fact that Maine is a border state with Canada. There’s a lot of cross-border transaction between Maine and Canada. And what we’re trying to do here is just make sure that Maine actually gets a fair deal. If you look at the amount of tariffs that have been applied not just on Maine but on a lot of our northern states that are doing cross-border trade with Canada, Canada and China have been the two worst countries when it comes to trade policy anywhere in the world. What a shame that is. China, you, of course, expect. They’re our biggest economic competitor. I would expect that from China. I would not expect that from Canada. We have to remember, Canada is a state—sorry, Freudian slip. That was actually an accident. 🤣🤣🤣 Canada is a country that has underinvested in its military that quite literally would get invaded by a foreign country were it not for the umbrella of protection provided by the United States of America. And so how does Canada actually respond to that? By treating the people of Maine fairly? No. They apply ridiculous tariffs and other non-tariff duties on Maine products coming into Canada, and they don’t expect Maine or anybody else to fight back. We’re sick of that. We are actually going to fight back against unfair trade practices whether it’s coming from China or Canada. Now, let me just give you a very, very simple and concrete example. If you buy dairy, cheese, butter, milk that comes from Canada into Maine, you probably are buying a product that has 0% tariffs on it. And by the way, if Canada applied 0%, that would be one thing. But you know, if a Maine farmer sends dairy products into Canada, they could be paying as much as a 250% tariff. Now, how is it fair to the farmers of Maine that they pay 250% when the Canadian farmers pay nothing? That unfairness is something that we just have to fix. And here’s what happened with the most recent round of negotiations. They’re still ongoing, and I want to be respectful of the process. But we know that Canada allows itself to be used as a backdoor for Chinese goods. They treat Chinese goods more fairly than they do the goods that come from the people of Maine. It’s insanity. And what we’ve said to Canada is stop it. Apply a basic principle of fairness to the trade that you’re doing between North Dakota and Canada, between Maine and Canada. And what happened at the very end is they came in with a bunch of unreasonable last-minute demands. I frankly thought we had a deal. I think that we should have a deal. But I think that we need to send a message loud and clear to the Prime Minister of Canada. STOP taking advantage of the people of Maine. Stop taking advantage of America. It’s over. We expect fairness in our trade policy." WELL SAID!

Mark Carney lied and he keeps digging! Listen to this word salad. I don’t think it answers why he lied. Check it out. What do you think? Q: You said you weren't the chair anymore when the decision was made, but it was made back in fall, and you wrote a letter about it. How can you square that? CARNEY: Look, there's several elements to the transaction and I should have been more precise in my answer. There's an overall move with a plan of arrangement, and the plan of arrangement and the agreement of all that, which is also true, it's complicated. The corporation and the company, which happened after us was. I think the core though, is, what are we actually talking about? We're talking about the technical change to where the head office is. No difference to any employment. The technical change, no difference to any employment here in Canada, no difference to any of the operations here in Canada. And in fact, on net, what the technical change does is improves the access to capital. Q: It makes you look like you're trying to distance yourself from moving headquarters from Canada to the United States. Why would you do that? CARNEY: As I say, it's a technical change. It enhances the liquidity. Brookfield is a great Canadian company. It's a great Canadian success story. If you look at the company still listed on Toronto, the employees all still here, I would say a number of the employees actually live here in Oakville and, you know, having greater access to capital is a good thing for Canada, good thing for Canadian growth. Q: You've been accused of lying. Did you lie, sir. You said you should have been more precise. CARNEY: There's multiple aspects. Ok some of my - sometimes I answer questions that go into details when I should keep it at a higher level. That's part of the problem with not being a politician.
