Chapter 1: Why is Donald Trump unpopular in Canada now?

0.069 - 25.386 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump is now so unpopular in Canada that the right-wing party that were big supporters of Donald Trump and MAGA, they were the Maple MAGA, are now pretending that Donald Trump wants them to lose in the upcoming election because if Donald Trump wants them to lose, reverse psychology, maybe they can claim that they're the party Donald Trump hates the most. So stupid.

0

25.406 - 45.847 Ben Meiselas

The Canadian people are smarter than that. They don't have the MAGA mush brain. that we see here in the United States. This is the plan of Pierre Poliev, the leader of the Maple Maga Conservative Party at the federal level. So Donald Trump went on Laura Ingraham in the past few days. And Donald Trump, it was clearly a scripted moment.

0

45.887 - 69.859 Ben Meiselas

His team probably worked it out with the Canadian Conservative Party. And Donald Trump's like, I prefer to work with the liberal party. I want to work with Mark Carney. And then immediately, Pierre Poliev, the conservative party leader who will be running against Carney, Carney's the current prime minister, goes, you see, you see, Trump likes the liberal party and he hates us.

0

70.259 - 88.233 Ben Meiselas

Therefore, vote for us. No, Pierre Poliev, we got the receipts. We know your maple maga. We know this Putin-esque plan you contrived because once upon a time, the conservative party was supposed to win the upcoming federal elections. And now the liberal party is surging ahead.

0

88.273 - 111.11 Ben Meiselas

And it looks like Prime Minister Carney and the liberal party could pull off a big upset and win the upcoming election together. and be able to form a government against all of the odds from what things were like months ago. Because Carney is standing up to Trump, because the Liberal Party in Canada stands up to Donald Trump, unlike the Maple Maga Conservative Party.

111.15 - 124.26 Ben Meiselas

Here's what Pierre Poliev actually posted yesterday, and this was clearly boosted by Elon Musk. Then I'm going to show you all of the receipts, and I've got a bunch of receipts showing how Maple Maga Pierre Poliev is showing

124.62 - 140.986 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump's support of Pierre Poliev and the Conservative Party, showing Pierre Poliev go on all these right-wing podcasts, and Elon Musk boosting Pierre Poliev and the Conservative Party. I can hardly wait to show it to you, as you can probably tell. Anyway, here's what Poliev posted. He goes...

141.926 - 162.957 Ben Meiselas

Last night, President Donald Trump endorsed Mark Carney, the current prime minister, liberal party leader. Why? Because as Trump said, he's easier to deal with and knows that I will be a tough negotiator and will always put Canada first. Carney is weak and would cave to Trump's demands, just like he did when he moved his company headquarters from Canada to New York.

162.977 - 182.307 Ben Meiselas

Canadians don't want a weak and conflicted leader. They want a strong prime minister who will put Canada first. Dude, you're literally Maple MAGA. I think some of your campaign advisors would walk around in their MAGA hats and like promote MAGA merchandise. Oh, we've got the receipts. But let me show this to you first.

Chapter 2: What is Pierre Poliev's strategy in the Canadian election?

405.528 - 413.252 Unknown Speaker

When I moved to Toronto, it was as race-blind as any country, as any city could be. Right. Right. And that's flipped.

0

413.572 - 427.084 Ben Meiselas

On the other hand, you have the Liberal Party leader, the current prime minister, Mark Carney. And here's what he goes. He goes, who's the worst person to stand up to Donald Trump? Pierre Poliev, who worships at the altar of Donald Trump.

0

427.124 - 450.704 Mark Carney

Let's play it. We have to recognize that the Donald Trump of today is different than the Donald Trump of several years ago. Then his objective was to take more of our market. Now he wants to take our country. Let me finish by pointing out one other thing. Who's the worst person to stand up to Donald Trump? It's Pierre Poliev. He worships the man. He uses his language.

0

451.204 - 454.046 Mark Carney

He's not the right person for our country at this crucial time.

0

454.346 - 461.893 Ben Meiselas

And here you got Mark Carney absolutely cooking Pierre Poliev and his Maple MAGA Act. Watch this.

462.274 - 485.593 Mark Carney

...jobs ever had. He got, as being a politician, he was a political staffer. He got elected to the House of Commons very early on, his low 20s. Said he was only going to serve two terms. He's ended up serving, I think he's probably into his fifth. He's got the biggest pension, publicly paid pension of anyone. And he's that lifelong politician that you can only believe so much in the free market

486.394 - 509.913 Mark Carney

if you're a tenured professor at Chicago or you're a lifelong politician, right? And he just sort of worships in that world. He defaults to the same solutions all the time. And he's also, I honestly believe he disdains much about the country, much of what I just described, which to me and I think to Canadians is the nature of the country, he disdains.

509.973 - 530.65 Mark Carney

So he's been on this mantra for the last several years, Canada's broken, Canada's broken, and Canada's broken because we're stupid, okay? Canada's broken because we're stupid. And, you know, he finds an echo chamber with Jordan Peterson and other people who he sits down and talks with. So there's a disdain for the country that he envisions.

531.73 - 551.099 Mark Carney

It's pretty awkward for him now that the country is coming together and the Canadian pride and we're under attack by the very people that he's been cozying up to. So literally, as we speak, he's trying to find a Canadian flag to wrap himself in and and play patriot. Last refuge of a scoundrel.

Chapter 3: How is Donald Trump involved in the Canadian election?

768.447 - 782.718 Ben Meiselas

Like, I don't think the guy doesn't he doesn't even have a security clearance. He's he's he's too busy doing what? And by the way, sound familiar here. There's so many of these MAGA types in government who don't have the security clearance. Here, play this clip.

0

783.058 - 794.923 Unknown Speaker

It's Globe and Mail. We understand that you have now placed your assets in a blind trust, so you don't know what's happening to them going forward, but you knew what they were going into that blind trust. So what are they?

0

796.944 - 817.839 Mark Carney

Look, Stephanie, I follow the rules of the ethics commissioner. I'm following them well in advance of any of the requirements, as you know, because I know you know this, you know that these requirements come into effect in months. We're talking days after I became prime minister.

0

818.659 - 830.606 Mark Carney

So I'm complying with the rules of the ethics commissioner, going through the processes and all those things that are necessary. And I will remind you and I'll remind Canadians again, that the leader of the opposition cannot find it.

0

830.706 - 852.575 Mark Carney

And look, you look at the questions this evening, you look at the nature of the discussions, look at the nature of discussions I had with the President of France, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The leader of the opposition would not be capable of having those discussions because the leader of opposition refuses to get his security clearance, something that it took me a few weeks to get.

853.598 - 878.097 Mark Carney

And he has been the leader of the opposition for three years. So I comply with my responsibilities. I comply with the rules well in advance. And the leader of the opposition doesn't take his responsibilities at a time of, well, you should take these responsibilities at any time, but it's particularly remarkable given the stakes in global geopolitics at the moment.

879.443 - 890.91 Ben Meiselas

A powerful moment after Pierre, after Prime Minister Carney was sworn in. Here he is talking about responding to Trump's 51st state claim. Let's play it.

890.95 - 913.977 Mark Carney

We will never, ever in any way, shape or form be part of the United States. America is not Canada. Look at the ceremony we just have. You could not have had that ceremony. You would not have that ceremony in America. Look at the cabinet behind me. You would not have that cabinet in America. You do not have that cabinet in America. We are a very fundamentally different country.

914.197 - 946.898 Mark Carney

The president is a successful business person and deal maker. We're his largest client. in so many industries as the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Industry, Monsieur Leblanc and Monsieur Champagne have made this point. And clients expect respect and working together in a proper commercial way. Are you not going to speak with President Trump until he cuts out this 51st state talk?
