This is the power move we've all been waiting for.Canada isn't furious anymore.Canada has moved on and they have checkmated Donald Trump so perfectly.Prime Minister Carney attending the European community meeting in Yerevan, Armenia, a historic meeting, the first time that we saw a non -European country attend.And not only did a non -European country attend the European political community meeting, but Prime Minister Carney was basically leading the meeting, a new leader of the free world, Maple Midas, and it's your incredible country, the land of free, the land of opportunity.Oh, Canada, leading the free world.
What a sight to behold.And this is Donald Trump's worst nightmare.Now, reflecting on this incredible trip, Prime Minister Carney spoke earlier today about re -establishing international order as the United States, America first, is now America alone, or Trump the Putin bootlicker.Bye -bye, Donald.Canada is in charge now.Let's play this clip of Prime Minister Carney from earlier today.
Let's play.
Which is a belief in democracy, the rule of law, that we're all equal before that law.And Imperfectly, the international system had variance of that, but Ammar Bohr's part of her very distinguished career was to make sure that those who transgressed in the most egregious ways, those rules, norms, standards, were prosecuted and brought to justice.That system, as I've observed in the past, and I'm not alone in making these observations, has been greatly weakened.and needs to be rebuilt, and rebuilt perhaps in a different way, but rebuilt based on the same principles.And Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, other countries share very firm convictions with those principles, and we will work together to rebuild.And obviously there's a critical mass in Europe of countries 27 members of the European Union, but then a broader grouping that you saw in that meeting in Armenia, over 50 countries that have some form of association with Europe and either fully support or are moving towards those principles.
So that's what I meant by those comments and I stand by them.
Just to remind you, one of the key and core messages of Prime Minister Karni while attending the European Political Community meeting in Yerevan, Armenia, was this.
Let's play it.A lot's happened in the last 12 months, and some of it we saw coming, but more of it has occurred.And the importance of alliances with reliable partners, deepening those alliances, has become ever, ever more so.
It's important to note as well, why this meeting was in Yerevan, Armenia.It was a message to Putin.and to Putin bootlickers like Donald Trump, that Europe is going to project strength in areas once thought to be Soviet satellite countries.So Europe is expanding even if Donald Trump tries to harm NATO.I'll remind you, Prime Minister Carney's meeting with Zelensky brought tears to my eyes at this meeting yesterday.Let's watch it.
It was going much better.
Fantastic.
Okay.shall I pretend to be the host?Yes.Fantastic.It's great to host in Europe, the hero not just of Ukraine, but Europe and the world.Dear Vladimir, again, you have all of Canada behind you, standing with the people of Ukraine.
We are pleased that today we were able to add to our commitment and we will continue to work and find ways.to work together to strengthen your struggle and to ensure peace when it comes and it will come.that it works and brings the prosperity that the people of Ukraine deserve.
Thank you very much, your prime minister.So I'm happy that we have such a strong relation between our countries and between both of us.So yeah, and we are thankful for your decision.You told me about your decision, how to strengthen us, and thank you for this.And of course, I think today's meeting for our group The morning meeting was very important because we have to push Putin to the piece, to diplomacy, but when he will be ready, of course.But we have to know that we are not alone.
And I'm happy that we not only know, we feel it because of the support of our friends.We are thankful to Canadian friends, to all the people for such strong support.
And then, of course, we have Midas Canada.Charlie Angus putting it all in perspective.Here's what Charlie had to say.Let's play it.
Hey there, Midas Canada viewers, Resisters from all over.Charlie Angus here.So this week, Prime Minister Mark Carney was participating in the European political community meetings in Armenia.This is significant.It's significantEurope has sent all of their major leaders to Armenia to work with the Armenians because Armenia is right under Vladimir Putin's nose and they're sending a message to Vladimir Putin that democratic countries like Armenia have much more in common with Europe than they do with the authoritarian regime of Vladimir Putin.
The other reason this is significant is that the invitation to Canada makes this the very first time that a non -European leader has been invited to those talks.What we're seeing is a dramatic rewriting of the global alliances, the global alliances that have been in place since the Second World War.And Canada, which has long been the scrawny little brother of NATO, is at the center of a unprecedented realignment of democratic countries who are going to stand together in the face of the threat from the gangster Putin and gangster Washington.And the one thing that you can expect, my friends, is that the United States is not going to take this lying down because what Canada is doing very clearly is challenging the fundamental principle of Project 2025, which is that the United States will be this gangster overlord for the hemisphere, taking what they want, demanding what they want, and making us a vassal state.And we're showing by our work with the Europeans and our integration, increasing integration with Europe, that that is not going to happen.That's the state of the world that we're in right now.
So we're going to talk about that.

Get started freeMore from Charlie Angus right here about what he refers to as strategic sovereignty.Charlie, take it away.
community meetings in Armenia is significant.The fact that Prime Minister Carney and President Macron of France are talking about building this notion of strategic sovereignty between Europe Canada.Canada talking more and more about our shared values, our shared history with Europe, our shared sense of democracy, pulling us away from our traditional relationship with the United States.Canada is the first country to be invited into the European Union's security action for Europe, the SAFE program they call it, which is a major development fund worth $175 billion US for military procurement meant for Europe, but it is going to include Canada.Now Canada has augmented this with a call for a global bank that will serve not just NATO but allied Indo -Pacific countries, the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank.And that bank is not being set up in London or Paris or in Munich.
It's being set up in Canada.It's showing the growing influence that Canada has.The fact that when Prime Minister Karni was in Armenia, he was talking about the economic relationships and the strategic partnerships, the fact that we signed $18 billion worth of critical mineral trade with Europe over the last year, while Donald Trump is saying that copper from Canada, which is essential for the American economy, is some kind of national security threat to the United States.Canada sees its future with Europe.Now, what are we seeing from the United States?Well, Donald Trump is pulling troops out of Germany.
That's sending a message.He's been attacking NATO from the beginning.He has served the interests of Vladimir Putin.Time and time and time again, he's undermined the Ukrainians and tried to promote the intereststhe Russians in the war in Ukraine and undermining the NATO alliance.But here's the thing.
Vladimir Putin is getting more and more isolated in Russia.The Russians are losing 30 ,000 troops a month.They cannot sustain this level of casualties.Ukrainian drone technology and robotic warfare is taking the fight to the Russians to the point.that they're saying that Vladimir Putin is getting more and more isolated.He can't travel around for fears that they're going to knock him off.
There's actually fears of a coup.So what's sustaining Vladimir Putin right now?The United States.their vassal state.The fact that Donald Trump has been ridiculing NATO, calling us a paper tagger, saying he's pulling the troops out of Germany.This as the chaos in Iran continues to grow and the economic shockwaves are starting to really, really hit home.
But by pulling troops out of Germany, Donald Trump is saying that the United States is not going to be there in the alliance anymore.But here's the significant thing.In a CNN interview on pulling troops out of Germany, American strategic thinkers said that, quote, Washington wants to focus on challenges where only American power can play a decisive role, and that's in its own hemisphere.So they're pulling troops out of Germany so that they can have the power to have a decisive role in our hemisphere?Well, who are they threatening?Brazil, Mexico, Canada.
And then finally, Charlie Angus says, for Donald Trump, for Project 2025, to see Canada rise like this is truly their worst nightmare.Trump and MAGA, they thought they would spread their MAGA tentacles and do Maple MAGA.Ain't Maple MAGA.We've got Maple MAGA.Putin bootlickers, bye -bye.Democracy prevails and we in the pro -democracy international community need to stay together.
Charlie, take it away.
You see, this is the thing about Project 2025 is it's unacceptable for the Americans that Canada is signing European trade deals.that we're doing procurement planning with the Europeans on common defense strategies rather than being subservient to the United States.This is going to come to a head very soon in the Kuzma negotiations.The United States is sending a very clear message, not only that they hate our guts, which they've been saying time and time and time again, but you can expect that they're going to try and break us to make us return to their vision of Canada as this vassal state.Meanwhile, Canada is focusing more and more on Europe.The fact that our Prime Minister is being invited to speak to the European Parliament.
The fact that we are doing more and more trade with Europe.The fact that we're doing strategic planning and the fact that we're doing military exercises with our European allies shows that we are not going to go along with Project 2025 and we are going to defy Project 2025.So this is where the coming battle is going to happen between the United States of Donald Trump and Canada, my friends.is on our right to chart our own future as a sovereign nation, working with democratic allies, whether they're in Armenia, whether they're in France, or whether they're in Asia.And if the United States doesn't like that, well, that's where the trouble is going to happen.And that's where this fight is going.
Keep kicking at the darkness, my friends.
There you have everybody.Let me know what you think.Incredible stuff.As Canadian viewers have said, Ben, we're not furious, Canada.We're beyond furious.We've moved on.
Yes, you have.And you are leading the free world right now, Canada.So damn proud to be partnered with you, Canada, to be your friend in this.And even though I'm over here, I understand across the border, It's just an honor to fight with you every step of the way and to be a part of and supportive of everything you've built.Keep on, keep on going.Elbows up.
