I feel that strength. I feel that strength.

137.886 - 156.104 Mark Carney

161.008 - 210.853 Mark Carney

Anyone? Anyone had any bourbon recently? No? Sorry, sorry. A family planning a vacation to Prince Edward Island instead of booking flights to Florida. Canadians are rediscovering our country. The Cabot Trail in October. The Columbia Ice Field in June. The Festival International de Jazz Amorel en Julien. The prairies at harvest where the sky goes on forever.

You know, Canada's tourism sector had a record breaking summer, 50,000 more train rides, 13% more visits to our national parks, 15% more visits to our national museums. Small, small individual acts of solidarity, but repeated millions of time. And together, they make a statement. We are the masters of our destiny.

292.588 - 315.92 Ben Meiselas

This has been more than even just a rupture on the relationship between Canada and the United States. This, of course, is a massive betrayal, and we've seen with the Trump regime. But now Canada rises, Canada strong, elbows up. Watch Prime Minister Carney deliver what may be The best speech I've seen yet all year. Play this clip.

316.5 - 366.663 Mark Carney

Some are still in denial. Rather than starting on this journey, they're waiting for the past to return. But hope is not a plan and nostalgia is not a strategy. And if we stand still during this rupture, we will surrender our future to others. My friends, technological change is accelerating. We can either shape our future with AI or let it control our destiny.

366.683 - 377.595 Mark Carney

The foundations of the international order, the order which Canada helped build and from which we have benefited for so long, that order is crumbling.

397.212 - 425.675 Mark Carney

Of everything Canadians have done this past year, the most moving has been how we've looked out for each other, including... amidst the worst tragedies. Think of the good people of Tumbler Ridge. When the unimaginable happened, first responders were at the school within two minutes, teachers shielded their children, neighbors held each other for comfort.

428.139 - 446.521 Mark Carney

Right after the shooting, Jim Caruso packed his bags, traveled over a thousand kilometers to support families, Jim said, I want to hug people, pray for them, and most importantly, cry with them. That's Canada.

447.563 - 454.039 Unknown

Looking out for each other, standing together when things get tough so that they can get better.

462.862 - 508.447 Mark Carney

I'm right there with you. Canada's new government is right there with you, inspired by hardworking, always caring Canadians. From now on, for example, with our new Buy Canadian policy, when the federal government spends, we will select Canadian suppliers by default. The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over.

508.467 - 523.105 Unknown

We are going to build. We are going to build Canada strong with Canada Steel, Canadian aluminum, Canadian lumber, Canadian workers. Hey.

702.098 - 705.602 Ben Meiselas

More from Prime Minister Carney right here. Let's play this clip.

705.622 - 733.475 Mark Carney

Right now, everyone sees the main threat as the Trump tariffs. But the challenge, the challenge is greater. The challenge will be as it's always been to foster unity and the common good, end quote. Bob's right. Canadians are being called to serve. but not against something, for something, for each other.

736.02 - 742.373 Unknown

And that is why you're here.

0

743.415 - 781.549 Mark Carney

Because you believe, like I believe, that Canada is only strong when it works for everyone. That's our objective. And that's our heritage. After all, Canada is a nation forged through accommodation, not assimilation. Through partnership, not domination. The founding insight of our country is that unity does not require uniformity. This is...

787.823 - 805.731 Mark Carney

And this is neither a myth nor a miracle, but a series of choices made imperfectly across generations. Pragmatic decisions that have become a moral conviction that our differences are a strength to be nurtured, not a risk to be managed.

813.98 - 830.436 Ben Meiselas

And then Prime Minister Carney leaves this speech by talking about virtue, by talking about Canadians being a virtuous people and how when Canadians stand for values, principles, unity,

830.416 - 848.126 Ben Meiselas

love, when they stand with marginalized communities and not bully, when they stand with their indigenous communities, when they stand with freedom, that's what makes Canada the leader of the free world right now and Prime Minister Carney, the leader of the free world.

848.486 - 870.448 Ben Meiselas

And just think about where things were over a year ago, 12, 16 months ago or so, when Donald Trump started doing the 51st state and the bullying and wow, wow, have the tables have turned. Prime Minister Carney ends his speech with a standing ovation. Watch what took place. Everybody play this clip.
