Chapter 1: Why is Canada calling an urgent election?
Canada strong. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney powerfully pushing back against the Trump regime, putting the dagger in and announcing that April 28th will be general elections in Canada. Mark Carney on Sunday called for a snap general
and in his speech announcing the general elections will be taking place and parliament will be dissolved, Mark Carney had strong words about Donald Trump's abysmal conduct.
Chapter 2: How does Mark Carney criticize Donald Trump's actions?
We are facing the most significant crisis of our lifetimes because of President Trump's unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty. Our response must be to build a strong economy and a more secure Canada. President Trump claims that Canada isn't a real country. He wants to break us so America can own us. We will not let that happen.
We're over the shock of the betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons. We have to look out for ourselves. We have to look out for each other.
And now here's the moment where Prime Minister Carney officially calls for the snap election. Let's play it right here.
There is so much more to do to secure Canada, to invest in Canada, to build Canada, to unite Canada. That's why I'm asking for a strong, positive mandate from my fellow Canadians. I've just requested that the Governor General dissolve Parliament and call an election for April 28th. And she has agreed.
Prime Minister Carney then posted the following. I have just asked the governor general to dissolve parliament and call a federal election on April 28th. We need to build the strongest economy in the G7. We need to deal with President Trump's tariffs. Canadians deserve a choice about who should lead that effort for our country. Prime Minister Carney also posted the following. Let's go.
Hashtag Canada strong. He also posted the following, I'm asking Canadians for a strong and positive mandate to deal with President Trump and build a stronger economy here and at home. By the way, at MidasPlus.com, we were covering those protests, Detroit and in Windsor, where Americans were showing solidarity with Canadians. I want to show you, though, from over the past few days as well,
Prime Minister Carney is coming with a plan, a plan to invest in Canada to ensure that Canada's sovereignty is protected by bolstering the military and by standing up to the Trump regime. Here's what Prime Minister Carney said a few days ago before announcing the snap elections, which he did on Sunday. Play this clip.

Chapter 3: What are Mark Carney's plans for Canada's future?
It's about getting things done. It's about getting, yes, pipelines built across this country so that we can displace imports of foreign oil. It's about building out the energy infrastructure more broadly here in Alberta, which I would add would include projects such as the pathways. It's about building energy corridors and trade corridors, including potentially up from here through to Nunavut.
So we have additional deep water ports and opportunities there. And so the commitment, and the commitment is to deliver those, and then the federal government using all of its power in order to accelerate delivering those projects. So then it gets into details of what's changed here and there, but the commitment is to deliver faster at a different scale.
And if I may just add one other thing, I said a week ago or 10 days ago that we need to do things that had not been imagined or had not been thought possible at a speed we haven't seen before. And that's the nature of the time. And in order to do that,
we're going to need to use at the federal level, not just a commitment for cooperation, which we have under my government, but also additional levers that we create. And I'll be laying some of those out tomorrow with the premiers.
Now, as that's taking place, the right-wing Conservative Party in Canada, led by Pierre Poliev, got some unwanted news, but news of their own making, as the National Post reports, how a two-week-old interview by Daniel Smith, the Conservative Premier of Alberta, drove day one of election coverage of the campaign.
For Pierre Poliev, who would rather focus his comments on the record of the liberal government, it was an unwelcome development. Well, it was a development of your own making. And the development is that on Breitbart, a podcast from about two weeks ago has now resurfaced where the Alberta premier, Danielle Smith, Oftentimes people refer to her as Maple Maga.

Chapter 4: How is the Conservative Party's relationship with Trump affecting the election?
She's one of those people who went to Mar-a-Lago to really kiss Donald Trump's ring. All the other premiers were, you know, united with this Canada strong mentality. She was trying to do like a divide and conquer approach. But as Courtney Theriault says, here's the audio expert with Daniel Smith on Breitbart confirming that she asked,
the Trump regime, to basically help Poliev in the election and said, hey, can you just temporarily pause the tariffs and Trump's attacks on Canada? We need Trump to help Poliev and the Conservative Party win so we could help you, Donald Trump. And this right here just kind of opened the floodgates for everything we and others have been talking about, how we all knew that Poliev is maple maga.
Here's that Breitbart interview. You'll hear again the conservative premier, Daniel Smith of Alberta, saying that she was involved in election interference with Donald Trump and the Trump regime to help the conservative party win the upcoming elections. Play this clip.
President Trump on these things, and it wouldn't be as tumultuous as what we're seeing right now. Is that something that you think is likely here? Are the Canadian people ready to go back the other way here and go away from the liberal side that we've seen under Trudeau and whoever replaces him?
Before the tariff war, I would say yes. I mean, Pierre Paul Yez is the name of the conservative party leader, and he was miles ahead of Justin Trudeau. But because of what we see as unjust and unfair tariffs, it's actually caused an increase in the support for the liberals.
And so that's what I fear, is that the longer this dispute goes on, politicians posture, and it seems to be benefiting the Liberals right now. So I would hope that we could put things on pause, is what I've told administration officials. Let's just put things on pause so we can get through an election. Let's have the best person at the table make the argument for how they would deal with it.
And I think that's Pierre Polyev. And I do agree with you that if we do have Pierre as our prime minister, then I think that there's a number of things that we could do together. Pierre believes in development. He believes in low-cost energy. He believes that we need to have low taxes. He doesn't believe in any of the woke stuff that we've seen taking over our politics for the last five years.
So I would think that there'd be, there's probably still always going to be areas that are skirmishes or disputes about particular industries when it comes to the border. But I would say on balance, the The perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think, the new direction in America.
And I think we'd have a really great relationship for the period of time they're both in.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the interview with Danielle Smith?
Two unrelated sources close to the Conservative Party's war room tell me that Poliev's team had even floated going so far as trying to get a message to the White House in an attempt to persuade Trump to distance himself from Poliev. In recent weeks, according to the sources, Conservative Party operatives talked about trying to get Conservative Member of Parliament, Jamil Javani,
to ask his former Yale roommate, vice president JD Vance to talk some sense into Donald Trump. Poliev's office did not reply to messages asking about those internal conversations or whether Giovanni has spoken to Vance recently, but the timing of all of that needs to be noted. You had those discussions between, uh, Poliev's, uh, you know, Lieutenant Giovanni and J.D. Vance.
And then all of a sudden Donald Trump goes, you know what? I think I'd rather work with the liberal party than Poliev. I'm not sure I like that guy, Poliev. And then Poliev was like, you see, Donald Trump doesn't like me. Now you should vote for me.
Despite all the times I was acting like a Donald Trump stooge, despite the fact that I'm Maple Maga, you see Donald Trump's, it was obviously also coercion. It wasn't at all just so totally obvious. By the way, this is from CBC. This conservative MP is best friends with Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, July 17th, 2024.
And here you see conservative member of parliament, Jamil Javani, who is, you know, the right hand basically of Pierre Poliev. And he was going there to kind of arrange this election interference to have Donald Trump help the conservative party win.
The election, but the polls right now are showing the Liberal Party run by Mark Carney, Prime Minister Carney, taking the lead, which is a complete flip of what was happening a few months back. And just to show you that Poliev is maple MAGA through and through. I mean, you know, he was doing the whole right wing podcast bro routine that Donald Trump did. Poliev is doge boy. He's a doge boy.
You know, you see him right here. Elon Musk amplifying Poliev on his interview with far right wing podcaster Jordan Peterson, where he was talking about how he didn't think health care was a right that Canadians should have. And they were privatizing health care. And then he would say, oh, the woke mind virus, the woke this, the woke that. Here is a video that I think really kind of sums it up.

We have to stop with political correctness. Woke political correctness.
Defeating the radical left. Radical leftist authoritarian agenda. We want those great Canadian truckers to know that we are with them all the way. I'm proud of the truckers and I stand with them. Your organization is terrible.
You are attacking our news organization. Your organization is terrible. We have basically a liberal heckler who snuck in here today.
And remember, by the way, three months ago, Donald Trump said he was looking forward to working with Pierre Poliev because they're close. Poliev, Trump, Poliev, Musk, Musk, Poliev, Dogeboy. That's what's going on here. Here, play this clip.
The G7 is not exactly strong. I think Trudeau might resign today. Are you looking forward to working with Pierre Polivere, the new guy?
I am. If that's what happens, certainly it would be very good. Our views would be more aligned, certainly.
