    Carney's 'Canada Strong' Promise Delivered Nothing

    Mark Carney promised to build Canada strong. Six months later, his own Major Projects Office hasn't approved a single project — while 14 major projects worth over $170 billion sit waiting. Pierre Poilievre called it exactly what it is. In this video, I break down the concessions, the broken promises, and why Carney's "elbows up" brand doesn't match the record. We cover the Digital Services Tax cave, the Gordie Howe Bridge concession, the NATO spending climbdown, Carney's viral jab at Trump's teleprompter, Trump calling Canadian leadership "nasty," and why the Major Projects Office has become a symbol of a government that announces everything and builds nothing. 🔴 What you'll learn in this video: ·       Why the Major Projects Office has approved ZERO projects in over a year ·       How Carney caved on the Digital Services Tax within 48 hours ·       The real story behind the Gordie Howe Bridge concession ·       Why Carney mocked Trump's teleprompter — and what happened the next day ·       The media double standard between Poilievre and Carney's public comments ·       What "Build Canada Strong" actually means when nothing gets built If you're tired of the mainstream media giving this government a pass, hit subscribe and turn on notifications — new videos breaking down Canadian politics every week. #MarkCarney #PierrePoilievre #CanadianPolitics #Trump #ElbowsUp #BuildCanadaStrong #CanadaPolitics #ConservativeParty #LiberalParty #CanadaTrade #MajorProjectsOffice #CanadaEconomy #TrudeauCarney #FederalPolitics #CanadaNews #TrumpCanada #TariffsCanada #CanadaUSRelations #PoilievreForPM #CanadianConservatives #GordonHoweBridge #DigitalServicesTax #NATOspending #CanadianGovernment #OttawaPolitics #CanadaBuildingStrong #CarneyGovernment #CanadaJobs #CanadianEconomy2026 #ElbowsUpOrDown   https://x.com/sarobertson_/status/2085079145810108694 https://x.com/Tablesalt13/status/2085416386239570137 https://x.com/TheJasonPugh/status/2085389776513859687 https://x.com/MarcNixon24/status/2085382784307323271 https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2085146965902512538 https://x.com/RichSementa/status/1939749165937873130

    Poilievre's Positive Leverage Plan vs. Liberal 'Elbows Up' Failure

    s Pierre Poilievre's approach to the Trump tariffs stronger than the Liberal government's "elbows up" strategy? In this episode, I examine Pierre Poilievre's proposal to use Canada's energy and critical minerals as positive leverage to pursue tariff-free access to the U.S. market, and compare it with Mark Carney's approach to the ongoing Canada–U.S. trade dispute. Topics covered include: Poilievre's positive leverage strategy Mark Carney's response and trade negotiations The Liberal government's "elbows up" tariff strategy Canada's energy and critical minerals as bargaining tools Ontario Premier Doug Ford's comments on retaliation Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe's differing approaches Media coverage of the Canada–U.S. trade talks Manufacturing job losses and economic impacts Canada's competitiveness and investment climate Why accountability matters for Canadian workers and families Do you think Canada should be using its energy and resource advantages to negotiate better trade outcomes, or is the current strategy the right one?

    Mark Carney's Government Is Not Working For You

    They shut down the meeting. They laughed at your questions. And they might hand him a $300,000 job anyway. This week alone: three hundred forestry workers in Prince George found out their mill is closing for good — while the union president said flat out, on camera, that the government isn't helping. A House of Commons committee adjourned mid-meeting rather than vote on studying a bridge deal Mark Carney apparently misrepresented to Canadians. And CTV broke the news that Jagmeet Singh — who tanked the NDP from 24 seats to 7 and lost his own riding — might be next in line to run Destination Canada for over $300K a year. Oh, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, the Prime Minister laughed on camera while talking about "working hard for Canadians." In this episode, I break down the pattern connecting all of it: a government that isn't focused on you — it's focused on itself. I go through the real numbers behind the Gordie Howe Bridge committee shutdown, how the Liberals actually got their majority (hint: you didn't vote for it directly), Jagmeet Singh's actual record laid bare, and why a Crown corporation job for a guy with zero tourism experience should make every Canadian ask who this government is really working for. 🔹 The Northwood pulp mill closure and what it says about the economy 🔹 The Gordie Howe Bridge committee shutdown, explained 🔹 How the Liberals really got their majority government 🔹 Jagmeet Singh's real record — seats, pension timing, and the Destination Canada job 🔹 The Carney clip everyone's talking about If you're tired of a government that answers to no one but itself — this one's for you. #CanadianPolitics #MarkCarney #JagmeetSingh #Poilievre #GordieHoweBridge #DestinationCanada #CanadianEconomy #Accountability #NDP #LiberalGovernment https://www.canfor.com/newsroom/2026-07-14/canfor-announces-closure-of-northwood-pulp-mill https://x.com/search?q=bob%20zimmer&src=typed_query https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOjAnpTVlQQ&list=PL0lKqz3_apiyERh9NPngWh0Udb2TzEHfP https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-says-should-have-been-clearer-bridge-deal-us-9.7281520 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-says-should-have-been-clearer-bridge-deal-us-9.7281520 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbQDgjhBaow https://www.facebook.com/tonybaldinellimp/ https://x.com/JayGenXer/status/2082645323709575314

    Mark Carney Was Supposed to Be Canada's Master Negotiator... So What Happened?

    Mark Carney was presented to Canadians as an experienced economist and a world-class negotiator—but are we seeing the results? In this episode of The Maple Conservative Girl, I take a closer look at Canada's relationship with the United States and ask whether the Liberal government's approach is delivering the certainty Canadians and Canadian businesses need. We'll discuss: 🇨🇦 Canada's trade relationship with the U.S. 📈 The future of CUSMA and why it matters for investment. 🌉 The Gordie Howe International Bridge agreement. 📰 Why I believe the media is spending more time focusing on Pierre Poilievre than holding the government accountable. 🏛️ Why Conservatives argue Canada needs a different approach to trade, economic growth, and negotiations. As always, this is my perspective as a Canadian conservative who enjoys digging into federal politics and encouraging respectful discussion. Whether you agree or disagree, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Do you think Mark Carney is delivering the leadership Canadians were promised?
