Liberals' radical Net Zero ideology has made us too reliant on the US. That will end, vows Poilievre
Mar 30, 2025
Regardless of what was said, what is now clear is that it was a mistake over the last lost liberal decade to weaken our economy and become more dependent on the Americans. Liberals blocked pipelines, LNG plants, port expansions and other major projects because of a radical Net Zero ideology that has now made us more reliant on the Americans than ever before. We need to break that reliance. ... The Liberals have made us too reliant on the Americans. That will end.

the Canadian promise for their workers
0:18

0:23
after the Lost liberal decade that
0:25
promise uh is broken workers work longer

0:31
doubled so our youth can no longer
0:33
afford a place to live liberal taxes
0:36
punish work and liberal inflation have
0:38
driven has driven 2 million people every
0:41
month to food banks and this was all
0:44
before President Trump first threatened
0:47
his tariffs against
0:49
Canada I was glad to learn that the
0:51
president and prime minister spoke today
0:53
and like all Canadians I hope they had a
0:56
a successful talk and I look forward to
0:58
hearing about the results that they
1:00
achieved in that conversation for
1:03
Canadians but regardless of what was
1:05
said what is now clear is that it was a
1:09
mistake over the last lost liberal
1:12
decade to weaken our economy and become
1:15
more dependent on the Americans liberals
1:18
blocked pipelines l& plants Port
1:21
expansions and other major
1:23
projects because of a radical Net Zero
1:26
ideology that has now made us more
1:27
reliant on the Americans than ever
1:29
before
1:30
we need to break that Reliance we need
1:33
to put Canada first for a change by
1:36
axing taxes on our Industries to bring
1:39
home more production by lowering taxes
1:42
on workers so they can spend at local
1:43
small businesses creating made in Canada
1:46
jobs by removing liberal laws C1
1:51
c69 the no new pipelines law by getting
1:55
rid of the energy cap and the industrial
1:58
carbon tax to bring production back to
2:01
this country so that we can stand our
2:04
own on our own two feet and stand up to
2:06
the Americans with economic
2:09
sovereignty uh Richard zusman Global
2:11
News yes I know you mentioned uh the
2:14
meeting that took place today between uh
2:16
Mark Carney and the president excuse me
2:19
um if you are the prime minister at the
2:21
end of all of this would you have any
2:23
preconditions on a meeting with the
2:25
president and and I know you haven't
2:27
seen it yet because it just happened the
2:29
president's in the office and he just
2:30
said we have Liberation day on April 2nd
2:33
and I'm not talking about Canada but
2:35
many many countries have taken advantage
2:37
of us any thoughts on potentially a
2:40
changing tone out of the White
2:43
House well let's hope that there is a
2:45
change in tone uh we want to put an end
2:48
to this crazy
2:51
tariff chaos uh we have the best trading
2:54
relationship in the history of the world
2:57
uh why not continue and grow that
2:59
Trading relationship as two separate
3:01
Sovereign Nations my message to
3:04
president Trump trump is that true free
3:07
trade without tariffs will allow our
3:11
both of our economies to separately grow
3:13
stronger so that we can fund stronger
3:15
militaries and more secure
3:18
borders and make our continent safe
3:23
against the real risks from overseas
3:27
that's the goal that we should all be
3:28
working towards
3:30
and my goal will be to make Canada
3:33
regardless of what the Americans do
3:35
we've this has all been a wakeup call
3:36
for us by blocking pipelines and LG
3:40
plants and Slow Rolling resource
3:43
projects capping our oiling gas sector
3:46
the Liberals have made us too reliant on
3:48
the
3:49
Americans that will end my government
3:52
will repeal the entire carbon tax the
3:55
energy cap the anti-pipeline law c69 we
3:59
will bring the hundreds of billions of
4:01
dollars back to our economy and we will
4:03
start selling between Canadians and
4:05
overseas so that we are stronger
4:08
self-reliant Sovereign to stand on our
4:11
own two feet and stand up to the
4:13
Americans in other words let's bring
4:15
home the country that we knew and the
4:17
country that we still love thank you
4:18
very much next question good morning
4:21
Dean STS cck TV and Victoria we are at a
4:24
sawmill here in the Nao and Mills like
4:26
this are becoming increasingly rare on
4:28
the island and in b see people at these
4:30
places are worried about their jobs uh
4:33
now they're faced with tariffs from
4:35
Donald Trump what do your plan to
4:37
protect the industry in BC and across
4:39
Canada for that matter in the face of
4:41
these tariffs very good question I've
4:44
been traveling to saws across uh the
4:47
interior of British Columbia and of
4:49
course the island uh for about two years
4:51
now and um it's been a devastating
4:55
period of Sawmill closures um and uh
4:59
let's be honest about what's causing it
5:01
first of all um we've had a lost liberal
5:05
decade Justin Trudeau
5:07
allowed the Americans to reinstate
5:11
tariffs on our our lumber now let's be
5:13
clear those were not Trump's tariffs
5:16
those were they were Biden's tariffs
5:18
Biden then doubled the tariffs and now
5:21
president Trump wants to raise them
5:23
again now it's very easy to make excuses
5:25
for the Liberals saying they have no
5:28
control over this but history doesn't
5:31
bear that out Steven Harper got a
5:32
softwood lumber deal within 80 Days of
5:35
becoming prime minister that saw the
5:37
Americans end the tariffs and reimburse
5:39
the ones they had already collected so
5:42
the Liberals have not made protection of
5:44
our softwood lumber a priority they have
5:48
failed over a decade and our workers are
5:51
paying the price I will negotiate to end
5:54
the softwood lumber tariffs so that we
5:56
can get our lumber to the American
5:58
Market I I will also massively stimulate
6:02
home building so this Lumber can go into
6:05
building new homes by taking the GST off
6:08
new homes incentivizing municipalities
6:10
to free up permits speed up approvals
6:15
cut development charges and open up land
6:17
to
6:18
construction by selling off 6,000
6:20
Federal buildings and thousands of Acres
6:22
of federal land we can build millions of
6:25
new homes with Canadian Lumber that'll
6:28
mean the workers at this Mill and in the
6:30
forests of Canada can make bigger
6:33
paychecks which they can bring to houses
6:35
that they can afford to buy in other
6:37
words um we need to bring home the
6:39
Canadian promise um and the choice in
6:41
the next election is after the Lost
6:43
liberal decade of losing jobs and wealth
6:47
to the south of higher taxes and crime
6:50
do they deserve a fourth term or is it
6:52
time to put canadaa first with a new
6:54
conservative government that will bring
6:56
our jobs home to Canadians English
6:59
oh well it's clear that the president
7:01
would like to keep the Liberals in power
7:03
they've been very good for his agenda he
7:05
wants to take our money and our jobs and
7:08
liberals have helped him do it they
7:10
blocked pipelines LG plants they've
7:12
raised taxes Mr Carney wants a massive
7:16
tax on our Canadian industry uh that
7:19
will drive jobs South of the Border Mark
7:22
Carney and Donald Trump have one thing
7:24
in common they both favor taxing
7:26
Canadian industry Trump with tariffs and
7:29
with carbon taxes and obviously that
7:32
will send hundreds of thousands more
7:34
jobs South of the Border into the arms
7:37
of the Americans um so by contrast
7:41
though Canadians will have to decide
7:43
after the Lost liberal decade do you
7:46
want to give the Liberals a fourth term
7:49
of driving up costs and crime and
7:51
driving our economy Down Under the
7:54
American thumb or is it time to put
7:56
Canada first for a change with a new
7:58
conservative government they will ax
8:00
taxes Greenlight our resources bring
8:03
home our jobs so that we can stand up to
8:06
the Americans from a position of
8:08
strength thank you
