I'm gonna write it on my culture social media. I'm gonna say, yo, can we set up a new film? Hello, I'm Daphne. I forgot I was watching a movie about a bear. I was really frustrated. I don't watch that movie. It's Coffee Snake. Good morning, good morning.

Coffee Snake! What? I'm not gonna watch that movie. I'm gonna write it on my culture social media. Youuuu, Café Snake! Hello everyone! Welcome to a new episode of Café Snake, Café Snake 28. Thank you to everyone who listens, everyone who shares. This episode is an episode that will be available in full on our Patreon, so you will have access to an extract if you are not on our Patreon.

It's patreon.com slash Café Snake. So what are you going to talk about today Daphne? I've also made an extract if you're not on our Patreon. It's patreon.com slash cafe snake. What are you going to talk about today, Daphne? Today I want to talk about Emilia Perez, a movie that is a favorite of the Oscars. We watched it together, it's available on Netflix. It creates a lot of controversy. We'll say what we think about it. It's a musical comedy about the Mexican cartel in Spanish,

which includes a song about the plastic vagina. What are you going to talk about? I called my segment Trompaton. Today, the day the episode comes out, new rates on American import and export should be set. So we're going to come back to that, to analyze what it's like to have a political cultural discourse.

Without further ado, the DG News! DG News! I bought the famous Birkin bag on Walmart. You know, we saw that on Walmart, they were selling Hermès bags. Well, I jumped on the opportunity. Hello, today is my 441st day of Quebec apprenticeship. And today I'm going to eat poutine. It's not my first poutine, but I realized that I've never made a video with poutine. Oh What what no wait, oh my god

The maverick is trading luca maxie clement and martin for the lakers for anthony davis. What? Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Tonight, I am announcing Canada will be responding to the US trade action with 25% tariffs

against $155 billion worth of American goods. $155 billion worth of American goods. $155 billion worth of American goods. So we start with the biggest one from the DG News. Dallas Mavics killed Luca Doncic at Lakers against Anthony Davis. Just to be specific, so many things are happening right now and we don't have the time to cover everything. It's not because we didn't see it or we don't have time to talk about it.

It's really because we didn't see it or we don't feel like talking about it. It's really because we have a limited time. Especially this week, it was like... Hectic. Pretty hectic as we say. And well, we have a lot of things to do in our respective days. That's it. So just to say, Lakers, Lebron, Ring Season. More seriously, what I wanted to talk about is what I noticed.

Mark Carney, the former head of the Central Bank of Canada and the United Kingdom, who launched the liberal party of Canada, the race that should end on March 9, so in a little over a month, he presented himself to be the next prime minister of Canada, even if he is not a deputy. I have been observing for a few weeks since his first media appearance, which was an American show, already at the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I notice a rise in several TikTok accounts that appear out of nowhere,

which produce content. When there was the nomination of Kamala Harris, there was all this, we called it the protocol coconut tree. It's a bit like that, the same vibe. It's videos, edits, talking about Laura from Mark Carney. We're going to make a lot of jokes about Pierre Poiliervre. We're going to pump up content from several accounts that are not affiliated with Mark Carney. In the description of the account, it's going to be accounts called Canada Proud or Canada SB.

It's clearly accounts that have been, I don't know what kind of companies, public relations or media. Exactly. And when you mention that you're watching political advertising, but there's a kind of shadow zone. Because clearly these accounts are affiliated in a certain way with Mark Carney. I can't believe it's just people who decide to do edits like we decide to do edits from Ali Brasso or Kaisenat. I think it's part of the advertising strategy to make us believe in a movement...

You know, like, a term for that, astroturfing, right? To make us believe in a movement from the bottom up, you know, grassroots, something that starts from the people, that is generated spontaneously. I see a complete manufacture of that and it also reflects, I wonder if they buy boots in the comments. Because there you go in the comments and it's like, Mark Carney is the only one I would vote for, Mark Carney this, Mark Carney that. I hadn't seen him come from nowhere, he was someone who was probably unknown to the Canadian media landscape. I didn't know who Mark Carney was. It's for sure that since I listen to a lot of media for months now,

and I know he was an economic advisor for Justin Trudeau in the last year. You can blame Justin Trudeau for the state of Canadian economy. That's what Pierre Poliev is attacking the most. What's interesting about Mark Carney and his edits, I want to emphasize it, is what we even talked about in one of the first episodes of Café Snake. It's the comparison between Mark Carney's CV and Pierre Poliev's CV. Pierre Poliev has been a young candidate for the last 20 years.

Mark Carney worked for the biggest financial institutions in the world. He managed the Bank of Canada. He was even hired by Stephen Harper, Pierre Poliev's boss, to manage the Bank of Canada during the 2008 crisis. He then managed Brexit at the Central Bank of the United Kingdom. So it's a completely different CV, but Mark Honey is part of this financial elite. He's not necessarily someone who comes... He's not Bernie Sanders. I just want to say that this new way of doing marketing, which is not documented... And to directly target a part of the population that is very online, let's say, and maybe young, that's their particularity.

Of course, I'll put links of examples in the description. You'll have access to this description just on our Patreon. So you can leave the free part there. In the notes of the show. In the notes of the show that are on the Patreon. But you'll see,

these are accounts that appeared 2-3 weeks ago and that just don't make any content. I find it a shame because, as I said at the end, like the edits, I don't even think they are well executed as such. So if someone in the marketing company is hired to do that, listen, you have to take a better editor. I can't believe that 15-year-old kids who edit the brand are better than a team of political marketing. Well, I have to say that with an eye that is hard to aim, my eye, my eyes, I still thought you were... I didn't think it was bad.

I didn't think it was tight. I thought it was the quality of the image, the quality of the cutters, just the quality of understanding the format of the edit that you're trying to do, the incorporation of the music, at what moment... It's really a science. Yes, it is. An art. There's a proliferation of Quebec edit accounts, I think that's good. And there are really good ones in Quebec. I would just hire them directly. Obviously there is so much to say. We won't even talk this week about Deep Seek, which still made me sweat a lot. I'm going to come back to what I called the Contrarian Vibes.

Contrarian, we were talking about it in the previous episode that we called Ice Cream So Grave, at least in my segment. This idea that we are in an era where, in any case, the popular feeling, we are living a kind of cultural transition, where being woke, in quotes, would no longer be in fashion, and what would be taken away would be, on the contrary, to be branded as someone who is against the current. As if being woke was not precisely being against the current of power structures. So when you're helped, sponsored by the March of Pride... I'm going to exaggerate this, but actually, the whole idea of being anti-establishment, or even anti-authority, is embodied by the Republican right,

especially in the United States, figures like Trump. And it's as if he was positioning himself, he was branding himself, in opposition to the crowd, as we talked about, or the herd, the murt, or even the normies. I don't know where I got this Republican slogan, but In a woke world, be a contrarian. Oh yeah. Yeah, we saw it, as I said, in the episode where I was coming back to a tweet from Sam Altman, who is the CEO of OpenAI, who reiterated the central idea of the contrarian vibe, that is to say, think for yourself, be a free thinker.

So it didn't always mean to oppose everything that is formulated in society, but literally think independently, resist the pressure to conform. This is a bit of a preview. And I looked at the terminological roots of this term, contrarian. What is it in French? That's it, there are no terms in French. It's counter-current. It's a term that is increasingly used in politics.

We more often found this term in the economic field. It's used to describe a type of investor who will invest in the markets against the current. By the way, that's the translation of the term Contrarian, investor against the current. And that means that your strategy of placement is based on an analysis of markets, but you will deliberately invest in the opposite of the market trend. So if everyone sells a title, you will buy one. It's a risky strategy. Who is willing to take this risk?

And of course, those who have a greater tolerance for risk. What helps to have a greater tolerance for risk, Mounir? Lactamines. No, being financially secure. Okay. So, aka, being rich. Can you be a contrarian in terms of investments, but only when you're really, really rich? We talked about this anti-woke, anti-politically correct backlash, which we would have said in another time, I think in the 2000s, where we even talked about Quebec about political rectitude. We used that term mainly to denounce an attitude that would consist of

policing excessively, for example, language, so as not to hurt certain people. The first book by Mathieu Becouté, or one of his first books, is The Empire of Politically Correct. Exactly. It's not from the last snow. How do I even know if it's... There are all kinds of things that in Zeitgeist compared to that. Especially an article that came out about 3 days ago, I think, in The Intelligencer, which is called The Cruel's Kid Tables.

So there, following Trump's victory, his investor, there are huge parties of very very young Republicans who are organizing themselves. And then there's a journalist who went to those parties and tried to see who the crowd was, how they were, what they were saying to each other. What comes out of this report that is interesting, we will put it in the notes. It's really this idea that...
