"Nothing But Hatred in Her Eyes": Trump's Unfiltered CNN Moment Speaks Volumes
What is the state of Canada's economy right now?Are we going through a rough patch?Oh, I mean, yes.A million percent.
And what's frustrating in this, Andrew...
The government hasn't told you yet, but...We have the numbers backed by the parliamentary budget officer.Carney announced an alleged over 300 ,000 jobs today that won't exist for like another 10 years and the deficit hit 72 billion dollars this morning.The expert they brought in to defend the economy just told Canadians to expect absolutely zero for the next few years and Marco Rubio said something that we should all pay attention to and maybe also send to your liberal friends.I'm Jasmine Lane.Like, share, subscribe, comment your thoughts down below.
Danielle Smith had a fiery moment in Quebec and a conservative MP got a little heated with the press.I want to start it off with this clip from the White House yesterday, President Donald Trump and what he had to say to the media.
Like CNN will believe it because they knew what was going on.They're crooked as hell.CNN is a very corrupt organization.But with a corrupt reporter standing right there, never smiles.You never see a young, beautiful woman, never smiles.I never see a smile on her face.
I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes like she has hatred because we have borders, because we have a strong military, because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted.And then we win our election in a massive landslide.We win 87 percent of the counties in this country.Nobody's ever heard of a thing like that.And that's because we're doing the right job.
In Canada, it's almost as though reporters should be the opposite, right?They should be holding the government to account.In fact, this coming from CTV News, Canada's deficit doubled from last fiscal year, says the watchdog.Yes, the parliamentary budget officer dropped a bombshell this morning that Canada's deficitfrom $36 .3 billion to $72 billion estimated.The kicker, though, is that the federal government hasn't even released its own costing yet.
The PBO cited modest revenue growth and growing expenses, largely reflecting the introduction of new measures.
I want to congratulate Mark Carney for reaching his net zero goal.net zero growth, net zero jobs, and net zero productivity.And now we're the only G7 country in a recession.He's calling it a technical recession.But here's the thing, you can roll a turd in glitter and it's still a turd.We're in a recession.
There's a couple important numbers just to be aware of from this story that the PBO released today, including the fact that GDP growth is dropping from 1 .7 % to 1 .1 % this year.Unemployment is astronomically high.The PBO did say that that is likely going to improve, but very slowly.And this is the one that just really doesn't make any sense at all to me, because the government has loudly been selling this workforce restructuring narrative, that they're cutting 28 ,000 public sector jobs, even though I thought that was the danger of conservatives, but I guess not.They say that this will save about $13 billion.The PBO has also said that despite all of that, personnel expenses are projected to rise by $10 billion next year and balloon to $86 billion by 2031.
So they're cutting thousands of jobs and somehow spending more on personnel.Huh?
The question for the prime minister is about the human cost.of Canada being the only G20 country in the recession.Zara from Toronto lost her administrative job at a real estate business.She can't find a new job and now has to sleep on a friend's couch.What's the Prime Minister going to tell her if he cares enough to stand up and answer?
Is he going to tell her that she's just technically homeless and technically jobless?I'd like to wish the Chief of the Opposition, Leader of the Opposition, a happy birthday.I hope his day improves.The government, the government is focused on building a stronger economy.This is not a joke.This is a woman's life.
This Prime Minister gave us the only recession in the G20 and he stands up and starts joking about her state of affairs.She's sleeping on someone's couch, Mr. Speaker.Will the Prime Minister stop being so flippant about the suffering that he's caused in the lives of Canadians and tell Zara, is her homelessness and joblessness just a technicality?
And I really don't want this point to slip through the cracks either, because it's important.When the PBO says that the increase, the doubling of the deficit is due to new measures, What are those new measures?We have $25 billion for a sovereign wealth fund that has no wealth.It's just debt.It's borrowed money.
Minister, we are in a recession.And now this morning's PBO report even forecast that the GDP growth will be lower than expected, lower than even the OECD had projected.As the economy worsens, Canadians will be paying for this interest, and they want to know how much they're on the hook for.So how much is the interest that they will have to pay on the $25 billion of debt?
Like I said, Madam Chair, I would refer to the OECD numbers that were published yesterday, which would saythat Canada will have the second fastest growth in the G7.
I'm asking about the interest costs, Minister.

Get started freeAnd with respect to the interest costs, like I said, I'd refer my colleague to table A19 on page 125 of the English version.She will find all the relevant information that has been made public.
Minister, with all due respect, you're refusing to state the number.However, your department actually just provided it on May 7th.Canadians will be on the hook for $750 million per year just on interest payments.Why are you withholding this number from Canadians?
The member just stated the number, which she says is public, so I'm not understanding the gist of the question.
What I can say, Madam Chair, is that this is going to be transformational, and you have to look not only at the cost, but you look at the benefit that it's going to be providing to Canadians.I asked you for the number several times.You refused to tell me last week.I'm giving you another chance now.You're still refusing to tell me.That's withholding the information.
You know the number.It's $750 million per year.
In a country that's running a $72 billion deficit, by the way.an EV subsidy program, a conservation strategy worth billions of dollars, a grocery benefit, a new financial crimes agency.And today, he also announced a $2 .3 billion AI strategy, something that even the BBC doesn't really understand.They write here, the country is also pledging $500 million in investments to Canadian AI companies, which according to the strategy would give the government the chance to take equity stakes.Notably, the strategy promises that 250 ,000 jobs will be created by scaling up AI across sectors.It does not quantify, however, the number of jobs that could be lost through rapid AI adoption.
And they are now also claiming that AI is going to save them $60 billion.That's a lot of money, which means there's probably a lot of people.going to be cut and replaced with artificial intelligence, right?Oh, and what should come is absolutely no surprise.Despite our very high unemployment numbers, the AI strategy promises to fund research fellowships and increase the number of research chairs at Canadian universities focused on artificial intelligence.It also wants to attract highly skilled AI workers from elsewhere by offering them a path to accelerated entry and permanent residency to Canada.
Man, wouldn't it be cool to have a government who just believed in their own people?Who said, we know that there are people who are experienced and skilled in AI here, and we want to help you thrive.But instead, they're like, nah, nah, let's get some other people in.Canadians are not good enough or smart enough.
Canadians made a choice to stand behind a world -class statesman, a world -class business and economic leader, who's gonna build our country.
I don't think that's very true.
This has a corrosive effect on our democracy.Voters lose trust.in elections, the prospect of MPs being enticed by backroom deals emerges, and the notion that only government members get resources for their constituencies smacks of the pork -barrel politics more reminiscent of the United States' Deep South than in Canada, because they knew something fundamental had been taken from them.Mark Carney has become the first Prime Minister in Canadian history to assemble a majority government through floor crossing instead of through the ballot box.The balance of power in this house was shifted, not by voters in an election, but by political operatives in the back rooms, holding private conversations hidden from the public.While that may not be illegal, it is suitably, inherently undemocratic.
Hoof, what a rough week for the carny liberals, my goodness.But I guess that explains why CBC is doing their darndest to argue semantics over all of this stuff.
Only group calling it a full -blown recession.Like, who else in the country is calling it a full...It's not C .D.Howe, it's not the bankers, it's not the business groups, it's not the business community.Part of being a credible steward of the economy as a government -in -waiting is to, like, properly analyze, assess and define what is happening in the economy.
You're the outlier here.
Well, two consecutive quarters of negative GDP is the definition of a recession and it's three quarters out of the last four.I recall the technical recession, if you want to call that, in 2015, the last year of Prime Minister Harper's government.I'm not sure we spent as much time about the technicality of that recession then.So I think it's completely fair and honest to point out that the data indicators are suggesting significant weakness in the economy.If we want to disagree about whether it's a technical recession or a real recession, fine, but the economy is not as strong as what Canadians would like it to be.
Let's be incredibly clear about this.The technical recession debate is nothing but a distraction.The difference between 0 .1 % growth and 0 .1 % contraction doesn't change a damn thing, right?And the debate over the label is political theater, it's cover, and the underlying weakness is real, no matter what you call it.And actually, CBC had a guest on who really explained that to them in layman's terms.
Last Friday, the figures showed Canada's economy shrinking for two straight quarters, the definition of a technical recession.But just how bad a shape is the economy in.Let's bring in the CBC senior business reporter, Peter Armstrong.He joins me in studio.So Peter, you know, we were talking in our meetings, sort of having, we hear the rhetoric, we hearboth Mark Carney, we hear Pierre Polyev, we hear the political rhetoric about whether or not this country is in rough shape.
What we want to know is, Is it?What is the state of Canada's economy right now?Are we going through a rough patch?

Get started freeOh, I mean, yes.A million percent.And what's frustrating in this, Andrew, is that if you zoom out and sort of remove yourself from the politics that surround Parliament Hill, they're both right.Canada's economy is weak.It has been weak.It is weak now.
It is forecasted to be weak for the rest of this year.Where it's weak, it has been an incredibly tough year, right?And we hear that from people.The people that feel like they're going through a recession, They feel that because it's how it feels where they are.I'm not taking anything away from that.Where the economy is weak, it's been awful, and it's been really hard.
I want to get an answer right now.So we came up with this technical definition of a recession.Is it two back -to -back quarters?Economists hate it, and they hate it because it's super pedantic.And at the end of the day, of all the things we need to be debating about the Canadian economy, and it's very clear weakness, it is in a weak spot.There is no question about that.
The last thing that would be helpful to the people that are going through this is a debate over the pedantic nature of is this or is this not meeting the technical definition of recession.
I wonder if we would be in a recession if it had not been for a trade war inflicted by Donald Trump.
Gosh, stop talking about Donald Trump.My God, look at the fricking charts they've been screaming at us, at everyone for a fricking decade.The Carney government ran on competence against Trump, right?But you can't blame Trump for a decade of structural weakness that you presided over or that your Liberal Party policies contributed to.Canada has had a Liberal government for the better part of 11 years.The weakness that Armstrong is describing didn't mysteriously appear in January of 2025.
No, it's not what I said.I said thatthere were legitimate issues in Alberta that caused people to lose hope in Canada and the Prime Minister and I together.well, decided that we were going to work to address them and that's what the MOU ended up coming up with.He clearly made some concessions, we made some concessions, but that's how confederation works.You don't get 100 % of what you want, but the Prime Minister and I were interested in a win -win and I think we got that.
I think we have to be very clear that the people of my province are very upset with the way we've been treated for the last 10 years.An example I gave in my speech was Imagine if an Alberta politician had come here and tried to shut down your hydroelectric business and say you couldn't develop your aluminum industry anymore.That's what Stephen Guilbeau did to our province, and that's the reason why people are so frustrated and why they lost hope.It cost jobs, it cost economic growth, it cost us our ability to generate revenues to pay for the things that we care about, and we're now reversing.that.And that's the key is that I think there's a recognition that we can't keep going the way we were going.
We don't want the last the next 10 years to be the same as the last 10 years.And it takes some time to win the hearts and minds of people.But I think everybody is committed to trying to do that.And I'm grateful for it.
Isn't it interesting the correlation as it pertains to Alberta, where the vitriol from Ottawa towards them from liberal voters towards them, it's nonstop name calling nobody's actually listening, right?And of course that's the case, because you need Trump to be the whole story.You can't acknowledge that the Liberal government has just really not been that great for us on a large scale, that it's been bad for us, it's hurt our economy.So if you can blame everything on MAGA, Trump, and the trade war as the cause, well then the weakness ends when the trade war ends, right?And Carney gets to be the hero who negotiated Canada through it.But
if the weakness is actually what data shows, what experts and economists have been flagging for many years, which is structural, right?A decade plus of productivity failure, regulatory hurdles, dregs, an over -reliance on government spending, a weakening economy, well then there's no clear villain.It's not clean.There's no clean and easy re -election narrative.
Oh, listen, so two things on that.One, I think you're entirely right.We probably would not.It's hard to actually meet the standard of a recession of two back -to -back quarters, because even if you have one month of decent growth, it offsets it.The other thing to remember in all of this, though, is that we were very weak coming into this.We were weak before the trade war began.
That weakness has been going on for a decade or more.We need to address that.
And nothing anybody's saying should offset that.How is Canada's economy faring on the global stage?
So this is really important and I'll do it really quickly.Because we've been saying Canada had the second best growth in the G7 last year.That's still true.Only the Americans grew more than Canada and they greased their economy by what a trillion dollars in government spending to boost it along.If we had a trillion dollars in government spending we'd probably doing pretty well as well.That said, we are the first in the G7 to fall into, if we're going to call this a technical definition of a recession, to fall into that.
Those things can be true at the same time.The defining characteristic of the Canadian economy right now, Andrew, is weakness.It was before this.It will be next month.What we need to do is figure out how to get it out of the ditch, not whether it's in what part of the ditch.
And I really want you to think about this pattern that we keep on seeing of decline, dishonesty and control.In every facet, right?And why would a government do that?Why would a government not be honest, and then also do things that infringe on our privacy rights, our freedom of speech, and our ability to communicate?Case in point, this was published by the Canadian press, that the Liberalsthey will not split off the controversial section of their lawful access bill.
Marco Rubio has something to say about that one.

And consider what Canada's economic model has been largely.We talked about lots of it today, where there isn't really growth, there isn't removing the bottlenecks, there's new bureaucracy, new subsidies, new spending.on things, right?And I recognize that in this section, Marco Rubio is discussing foreign policy.But I do think that this is is nonetheless a philosophically sound principle.And it's one that we can absolutely reflect on Canada's subsidized economy.
cite is South Korea.South Korea used to be an aid recipient, a massive aid recipient.In fact, at one time, South Korea's economy was smaller than North Korea's.Today, South Korea is not only not a recipient, South Korea is the ninth largest economy in the world, and they are a donor state.Now, obviously, not every nation state has the capability to achieve what they did in that regard.but I think every nation state has the ability to become more self -sufficient, and frankly, many of them ask for that.
So what exactly does that say?You know, if so many things in Canada are healthy, they're vibrant, and they're serving Canadians, why do they need government subsidy to exist?Why do we need more debt?Why would more money fix a model that has been subsidized for decades and is still shrinking and is not performing positive results.
came into place because of this government.They promised that Bill C -18 would be put in place in order to provide money to local news outlets.It would save community news.That's what they claimed.We recently discovered at committee, because of the department officials coming and testifying, that that's not at all true.There's not a single local outlet that has been saved.
There's not an advancement in local news that has been had.That's with the full implementation of Bill C -18.Bill C -11 hasn't been fully implemented.The Online Streaming Act has not been fully implemented.The CRTC is still working out the regulations.But I can guess that based on C -18 not being effective and in fact actually squashing the local news outlets, I can guess that Bill C -11, the Online Streaming Act, will have a similar effect.
It's a facade, and we call that democracy.There's nothing democratic about that.There's nothing prosperous about that.And our decline over the last 11 years is evidence of that.More money, in this case, means more problems.I'm Jasmine Lane.

One way to attack the ideas of liberty is precisely by sowing fear.If we understand this, we will also understand the perversion of those who stir up the fear campaign.I know what I'm about to say will be controversial, but there's a beautiful movie called Monsters, Inc.The movie is fabulous because it was like a sort of factory dedicated to scaring children.And what is the plot of the movie?A monster goes and wants to scare a little girl, and the little girl looks at him and bursts out laughing.
That is to say, the day we unmask the collectivist monsters, this country will be definitively free and will be great again.
