"Get Over There, Man" | U.S. Response To Carney's China Pivot Takes A BRUTAL Turn
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 1:08Bill Clinton praises Carney's qualifications and describes him as a longtime personal friend.
- 2:11Melissa Lantsman challenges the Canadian government's debt projections and economic record.
- 6:02Hoekstra questions how easily Canadian businesses can expand their opportunities in Europe and China.

Pete Hoekstra's response to Canadian businesses looking beyond the United States is blunt: pursue those opportunities, but don't assume it will be easy. Jasmin Laine makes that message the centerpiece of a commentary on Canada's economic outreach toward China and the European Union.
The video drew an estimated 122,000 views in its first day, roughly nine times Laine's usual start. That unusually large opening comes amid a run of uploads examining Canada's relationship with Washington and Europe's political direction.
There is a striking contrast between the voices Laine brings together. Bill Clinton describes Mark Carney as a longtime personal friend and praises his qualifications, opening with: "I'm tired of treating our allies like they're dirt." Hoekstra, meanwhile, questions the ease of finding business opportunities elsewhere, adding: "It's kind of hard, but, you know, maybe Canada can crack the code."
Despite the title's emphasis on China, much of the discussion concerns Europe. Laine examines proposals for closer Canada-EU ties, places them alongside criticism of European leadership, and questions the political networks surrounding Carney. Parliamentary footage of Melissa Lantsman challenging the government's economic record adds a domestic dimension to the foreign-policy argument.
The video includes a paid segment for Ground News. In its closing section, Laine turns to social media accounts criticizing Hoekstra, pointing to account activity and verification dates as reasons she suspects coordinated messaging.
