Canadian politics UPDATE! Carney can’t stop WINNING??

I mean, not “allowing” Canada to seek free trade agreements with other countries is a non-starter so it really doesn’t matter how petty one thinks French words on cereal boxes are. It would be unacceptable anyway but you’d have to be a moron to sign such an agreement with a bunch of people who have repeatedly violated the agreement themselves. It would be utterly stupid to make serious concessions when they’re not unlikely to break the agreement anyway

Carney is trash!

This is a miss for sure. Typically like your vids on this subject, I appreciate your more conservative perspective. I’m British, so forgive the imposition of my discussion of your politics. I can see the cynical interpretation of everything Carney does dripping from every statement, that’s not to say I’ve cleverly seen through you, I think you intend it that way. But, I think this inclination is leading you to an incredibly shallow interpretation of the language thing, and a one-dimensional view of the overlying “Canada versus treacherous America” thing. Firstly, the language thing if true (I would believe Carney over Trump for obvious reasons) is not important because it super matters to the people of Canada or Quebec, it is important because it is a power play from a US government that is clearly trying to erode the idea of Canada’s sovereignty. You may believe this is a petty issue but that is because you are short-sighted here, the fact that it is a petty issue is why the US administration did it, they picked something small enough to both insult and degrade Canada’s national identity betting that Canada would back down and accept it to avoid pain and therefore enforce their overall belief that the US should have a “sphere of influence” over the entire Americas. Please don’t anyone interpret that as a naive assumption that the US didn’t already de facto have one in a sense, but this is more of a Russian style “sphere of influence”, a more muscular, imperialist and controlling one. This obviously goes along with the idea that Canada must subjugate its own trade sovereignty to the US. It’s funny because a conservative mindset should resonate with the importance of this very strongly, which leads me to think that you’re blinkered on the subject, such that you can’t even stand up for an obvious conservative, and patriotic value. I think there is also just an overall lack of any attention to the US side, and the clear and genuine efforts they have made on this front. Does it not matter to you that your Prime Minister is being called a Governor? Does it not matter that the US has repeatedly talked about how Canada is basically a state? How it wants the benefits of being a state without actually being one? Do you think it’s all trolling? Or do you think it might be good to stand up for yourself and every bit of your sovereignty, even if it’s those darned Liberals doing it and reaping the easy rewards from the Canadian electorate? I found this video really naive tbh. I still find you very intelligent and thoughtful, even when it comes to your political thoughts in Canada and elsewhere, just not on this occasion.

ahh, yes the new liberal will replace the old liberal and things will get better!

I don't think that Aaron Mate, who regularly shares Russian propaganda and is an Assad Regime apologist, is not the best representation of mainstream leftism. He's a Tankie at best.

i was literally wondering when you'd drop an upload on political update.

Viewing this as an Australian/New Zealander with the whole trade war with Canada and the US, Canada with Carney in charge appears to be one of the few countries in the world where the hard right isn’t gaining in popularity.

Living in Australia, One Nation are making massive inroad where people are tired of the establishment which doesn’t appear to be the case in Canada.

As a Canadian leftist seeing the rise of Carney and the slide of the NDP into irrelevancy has been a sad arc to watch in our politics. But it would be much more depressing to see Poilievre elected and watch as we descend into the same type of politics as the Republican party in the US, so I guess I'll take it.

Pollievre is a one-trick pony whose trick can't work when Trump is a threat. But it's what the 20% of anti-Canadian Canadians want, so they're stuck with him.

10:45 when discussing Carne with his admirers, none of them have actually managed to point out anything he has accomplished.

Instead, they are just completely enamored with his empty rhetoric

He's popular for what? Canada's economy was in a recession just a few months ago.

The only thing even close to hockey in terms of having the power to unite Canadians is feeling happy we're not American and telling the world we're not Americans and talking about how insane Americans are. Carney can do very little besides telling the US to F off and he'll keep winning.

I believe Carney will have the greatest fall in approval rating of any Canadian PM in recent memory. Getting approval early on is easy. Trudeau and George Bush Jr. had very high ratings early on. But a couple of years down the road, when the economic reality has set in, he is going to be hated.

How hard is JJ gonna cope?

edit: yep the cope is coming along nicely lol. JJs american bias (please man just move there) is really showing here.

A lot of Canadians hate the United States now, and it surprises me this channel seems not to.
I am a US citizen and even I dont like this country anymore. Its a country ran by bullies and man children.
The people that voted in these unqualified, corrupt, and immature boys are still going to be around.
The United States deserves to be isolated and without allies of any kind. It should be treated as a chaotic, untrustworthy, and bi polar animal with rabies. It stands for nothing and has no morals.

The goat is online

LOL, only Liberals take the time out of their day to anwser polls..Taxpayer funded new's media..of course they are going to be bias…Duh. Real Canadians are in Serious Trouble.. Carney is a Lying Manipulative Piece of Garbage…Then I stumble onto your podcast..WTF..I don't vote Gobal elite..Liberal Government..You are being lied to and robbed blind……..

A Yankees hat? 😮 Go Blue Jays!!! 🇨🇦

Always appreciate these updates JJ, I enjoy understanding Canada and the Canadian government better (and honestly all of the global zeitgeist related items you discuss). Cheers from North Carolina JJ, hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I find it surprising that you talk about Carney "doomsaying" about trump when trump has explictly, in no uncertain terms, repeatedly argued for the annexation of Canada, which you omitted in this this video for some reason.

He has said, repeatedly and explictly, that he wants canada to be the 51st state. He is not joking., he is not lying. He wants us to be economic slaves to the US

Carney will almost certainly be Time’s Man of the Year this year
Poilievre was the perfect person to run against Justin Trudeau, but is a poor match vs Carney.

hasnt done nothing to benfit us takes conservitive ideas and is hero

The conservatives are in a bind. It’s clear Pierre is no longer a viable option and it’s just a cancer on the party since Carney can gain one conservative vote for every progressive vote he loses to the NDP. I don’t like the conservative party, especially under Pierre, but if they want any hope in chance to regain faith in the electorate, they have to eject the far right culture warrior aspect of the party. Aka maple maga.

no matter who wins, we all still lose thanks to the UN.
