1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: So the Trump was speaking of was real. Cannie's won 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: the Canadian election. Insult to injury this morning for Pierre Pogiev, 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: the guy Cannie beat. He's projicted to lose his seat 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: in the House of Commons too. He's held it for 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: twenty years now. Some Liberals going to take it off him. 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 1: He's lost the chance of becoming prime minister, end his seat. 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: That is a bad day at the office. Feature Storing 8 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: News political analyst Nick Harper's with us this morning. Nick, 9 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning Ryan. That's pretty embarrassing for him, 10 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: isn't it. 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 2: Oh, a complete disaster, Like you say, he has been 12 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: and then being for a very long time. He's been 13 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 2: there and he's been going through a lot of things. 14 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: And he thought three months ago that he was going 15 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 2: to be leading Canada into the foreseeable future. But then 16 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 2: we saw this tremendous turnaround in the polls. The Conservatives' 17 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: double point lead suddenly completely fell away, and going into 18 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: the election the Liberals were leading it. As we saw 19 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: on the light, the Liberals took a fourth term, Mark 20 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: Carney remaining as the Prime Minister. He was there for 21 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: a few weeks ahead of the election after he took 22 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: over from Justin Trudea, so he will now be serving 23 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 2: a full term as Prime minister. Before Donald Trump came 24 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: into office, this seemed unthinkable because Canada was quite simply 25 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: fed up with Liberals, fed up with Justin Trudeau at 26 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: the head of the party. He stepped down at a 27 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 2: time when he was particularly unpopular, and the thinking was 28 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: that this was going to be a referendum on Justin 29 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 2: Trudeau and therefore the other party, the Conservatives, would have won. 30 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 2: That's not what happened, largely because of the Trump effect 31 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: and everything that he's been saying about Canada over the 32 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: last few. 33 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: Monthsick obviously an incredible feat for him, But is this 34 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: I just wonder, is this the high tide mark for 35 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: Matt Canney. You know, sure Trump helped unite Canada, but 36 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: all of those problems that had Polly of twenty five 37 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: points that here just a few weeks ago haven't gone away. 38 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: The cost of living, the crime and you've had a 39 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: decade of liberal rule. Now he's got a hell of 40 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: a job, doesn't he He has. 41 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, there are plenty of problems that many Canadians were 42 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: unhappy with, housing, the cost of living, problems with the 43 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: healthcare system, immigration. All of those problems are things that 44 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: Mark Carney needs to tackle while also trying to unite 45 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: the country around Donald Trump. We could see tariffs potentially 46 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: disappear overnight. We know that Donald Trump likes to change 47 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: things really day by day with one tweet or another. 48 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: Of course, if those all disappear suddenly, this reason why 49 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: he was elected as Prime minister vanishes, and those big 50 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 2: problems that Canadians really want to be dealt with something 51 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: that he will then have to tackle. I mean, it's 52 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: going to be a tough time for him. He has 53 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: a tremendous to do list to try and work out. 54 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 2: And that's not without mentioning the fact that he will 55 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: have to deal with his nearest neighbor, the United States, 56 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: and try and work out a trade policy in a 57 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: way that the two countries can move forward together. Yeah. 58 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: Hey, just quickly thing that one hundred and seventy two 59 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: the magic number for a majority with no idea yet 60 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: whither they've got. 61 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: The yet no, not quite there yet, And it could 62 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: be that, you know, he will need to scrabble around 63 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: for some other parties to be able to build that coalition. 64 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: It could be difficult for him to do, and of 65 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: course that reduces his ability is mandate to lead the country. Certainly, 66 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: if he hasn't got quite the majority, then he needs one. 67 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: Nick appreciate your time.
