Justin Trudeau says there's no business case for liquefied natural gas. We know that's not true, but even if it were true, there's definitely a moral case. And if you care about human rights, cheap energy keeps human rights accessible.
00:01:14.060I don't understand it at all because supplying Europe with energy could change the entire makeup of our country.
00:01:22.060If he's so woke and cares about indigenous income, economic reconciliation, social programs, dental care, all of the things that they talk about that they want to try and achieve,
00:01:35.880selling natural gas to Germany, to Europe would be the best thing that we could ever do.
00:01:42.140It would benefit every single province.
00:01:44.180I am blown away that he doesn't think there's a business case for it.
00:01:48.120And now Qatar is going to benefit from it.
00:01:51.020So every other country that has enough brains to sell their energy, Russia will continue to benefit from it.
00:01:57.880And we, once again, have this, I don't know what it is, Stockholm syndrome, whatever you want to call it,
00:02:04.400that we don't pursue our country's best interest when it comes to energy.
00:02:08.220At the very least, even if there weren't a business case, there's a moral case for selling liquefied natural gas to places like Germany,
00:02:18.940when right now they're buying, I think 50% of their energy comes from Russia.
00:02:23.400And I'm reliably informed by the liberals that they are concerned that Russia is benefiting from everything and meddling in our politics.
00:02:32.020If you actually cared about the Russian scare, wouldn't you want to offset Gazprom?
00:02:38.220I've been asking myself this question for years.
00:02:42.980Why don't we pursue our energy needs 100% to stop countries like Russia or Qatar or Saudi Arabia or Venezuela, dictator-type countries?
00:02:54.780We're supposedly have the best environmental standards in the world.
00:02:58.700We have free, we're a free country with human rights and we have ethics, but yet we don't pursue that in the energy sector.
00:03:08.180I don't, I really, I wish I truly did.
00:03:10.820I did speak to a bunch of people in Calgary that are involved in natural gas and their jaws are dropping because this is something that they want to pursue.
00:03:18.600I mean, Germany, I would make an argument, is ahead of us when it comes to energy.
00:03:23.420They've already tried wind and they've tried solar and now they're going back to coal because coal is cheap and reliable.
00:03:30.500And if you care about human rights, cheap energy keeps human rights accessible.
00:03:37.100I am blown away time and time again by this notion that somehow so-called renewable energy is somehow greener and has less impact on the environment.
00:03:49.800And in fact, I would argue when they pursue this mass production of electric everything to replace, you know, to replace gas or diesel-powered vehicles,
00:04:00.240you are going to see more destruction of the planet than you've ever seen.
00:04:06.080Now, from what I'm told, there's countries in Europe now that are trying to ban certain times to drive electric cars.
00:04:11.460They don't want you to plug your electric cars in because you're going to kill the grid.
00:04:14.740So what this is doing is this is forcing people into poverty very fast for wokeness from, you know, a trust fund, not just Trudeau,
00:04:25.600multiple trust fund babies who are in positions of power that determine what the world does because they're elected officials.
00:04:33.560And it's scaring the shit out of everybody.
00:04:35.420You know, you were in town last night for the Jordan Peterson event with the Democracy Fund.
00:04:41.600And that was one thing that he mentioned was the Western world has no moral right to damn the developing world to energy poverty.
00:04:51.200People need to be able to turn their lights on so that they can do their homework at night so that they aren't burning cow dung to cook their food over.
00:05:01.020That's one of the leading causes of illness in the developing world is a lack of clean burning electricity, fossil fuels, where they are using wood and cow dung to cook their food inside their houses.
00:05:14.020And that it's immoral for us to keep access to energy away from them in the name of saving the planet.
00:05:22.680So I think the biggest problem that we have, so we're in Toronto, one of the largest cities in North America, definitely Canada's largest city.
00:05:29.520And it is surrounded by benefits of fossil fuels, but a lot of people that live here don't understand that they don't recognize that their entire life exists because of fossil fuels, even if they're not burning them as far driving.
00:05:43.520Like it takes fossil fuels for that battery to drive that Tesla, it takes fossil fuels to warm these giant towers.
00:05:51.540And the disconnect is costing the world.
00:05:54.980I don't believe there's any type of energy that is green.
00:05:58.940And if they don't stop this insanity of pushing this agenda so fast, they do not care about the harm that it causes.
00:06:19.800Greenpeace did not care about the Indigenous community in Fort McMurray.
00:06:23.820They just wanted to use them to push their agenda.
00:06:26.660And now that they've been kicked out and they're no longer welcome, and all the Indigenous communities have deals with oil and gas, which is good, they're on to the next thing.
00:06:33.700But not everyone can stand up to these environmentalists effectively and win like we did in the Fort McMurray.
00:06:39.980And I'm concerned because what they're doing is they're going to ruin lives.
00:06:49.060If Germany does not get their natural gas from Canada, they're going to get it from any other country that will sell it to them because their people need it to live.
00:06:57.300You know, you can talk about future issues of the environment, then there's the immediate, I need to stay warm so I can feed my family and live.
00:07:05.600And that is what's happening in Europe right now.
00:07:07.740And I think that our Prime Minister, you know, I don't know if it's...
00:07:12.320I don't think we've encountered this type of narcissism in politics before.
00:07:16.300I also think everyone underestimates him.
00:08:14.700Now, you talked a little bit about, or you sort of touched on, the Indigenous partnerships in liquefied natural gas.
00:08:22.980I don't think people, maybe outside of the West, realize the amount of benefit to Indigenous communities if Canada developed liquefied natural gas.
00:08:37.420Because so many Indigenous groups in Northern BC have partnerships with oil and gas companies.
00:08:46.640And they would be the ones standing to benefit.
00:08:48.520It will lift communities out of generational poverty.
00:08:51.240But it happens to be white liberals in urban centers who are damning them to generational poverty.
00:08:56.560So, I've interviewed a lot of Indigenous business leaders over the years.
00:09:02.820And I interviewed Chief Crystal Smith from the Sailor Tube First Nation when I was in BC.
00:09:07.720And they just landed the Coastal Gas Links project, which was huge.
00:09:11.440My favorite, I didn't get to film this, it was so amazing.
00:09:14.700This old guy comes up to me, maybe not really old, like 56 or something, right?
00:09:19.000And he comes up to me and he says, I just want to tell you my story.
00:09:21.900He's like, I got a job because of Coastal Gas Links.
00:09:24.560And I'm going to be able to work 10 years, better my family, leave something for my grandkids.
00:09:48.180The dignity of earning something and leaving something behind.
00:09:51.280And that is where you have, I don't know what it is, but I would call them, I'm not even going to call them liberals.
00:09:58.040You have a certain type of people that primarily live in cities that are candidly overeducated in a lot of ways, but have zero practical abilities in life.
00:10:06.520Yeah, my mom used to call them overeducated, stupid people.
00:10:09.100Overeducated, stupid people that are making decisions that affect the lives of other people.
00:10:15.280Like when I was in Ottawa recently and I had a dinner with a bunch of press and they have zero clue what happens to the point where they don't understand.
00:10:24.860Like, I don't believe they understand that milk comes from a cow.
00:10:51.300I don't think they understand by avoiding eating meat, they're actually causing more harm to animals because of all the extra land that's processed to create vegan stuff.
00:11:00.300So there's, it's just, there's such a disconnect.
00:11:03.820And one of the conversations I actually had with Dr. Jordan Peterson last night is like, I don't necessarily feel like we're a country.
00:11:11.600We're the second largest landmass in the world.
00:11:14.340We're almost too big and too small to be a country sometimes because we are so spread apart with a smaller population that people from Newfoundland do not necessarily understand what had effects people in British Columbia.
00:11:27.200Toronto is like its own ecosystem onto itself.
00:11:30.560And if we don't start a proper dialogue fairly soon, we're going to have problems.
00:11:37.220And, you know, I interviewed Daniel Smith, Premier Daniel Smith for Oil and Gas World magazine.
00:11:41.840And a lot of people that I knew were like, oh my God, she's talking about separatism and with the Sovereignty Act.
00:11:46.800And I'm like, it is about time that we had a premier who is willing to stand up for Alberta.
00:11:54.900Because one of the things that I brought up when I was in Ottawa interviewing different politicians is like, our voting system is not fair.
00:12:10.020But if Alberta votes conservative every single time, it's not going to make a difference.
00:12:14.980And so they said, well, you know, that's how the population is.
00:12:17.280And I'm like, if the world was around like that, if the United Nations Security Council was ran based on world population, China and India would determine the entire future of the world often.
00:12:27.600And I think if we're going to stay as a country, we need to start understanding that different regions have different issues.
00:12:35.080And sure, Alberta has less population than Ontario and Quebec, but we don't have less money.
00:13:13.400And one of the things, I got a message from a mayor from Quebec and he said, well, I agree with you, but you're beating too hard on Quebec and what you need.
00:13:21.300So I'm going to be going to Quebec to interview a bunch of Quebec mayors that are pro pipelines.
00:13:25.320But what I said to him was, and he agreed with me, they know it.
00:13:31.000I said, you had a balanced budget when we were going through tough times.
00:16:31.080If we said, no, here's the oil and gas in value, you market it, pretty soon we'd have every pipeline we ever wanted.
00:16:39.880Well, and I think one thing that has come from like this, the situation in Ukraine with Russia is these woke morons who somehow think that we're going to get rid of fossil fuels.
00:24:10.700That very day, I was filming a bunch of my black friends.
00:24:13.020They wanted to do, it was really funny when that happened.
00:24:14.660Because they called me, Robbie, we want to do this funky video.
00:24:18.300And they wanted to do a dance video in the hoodie.
00:24:20.380And I was actually kind of, like, trying to film it.
00:24:22.860So I was like, you know, you can say everything.
00:24:25.420But, like, if I was a white supremacist, I certainly would not be going out of my way to film friends of mine who are black in our hoodie that support Fort McMurray.
00:24:35.920Because Fort McMurray is very multicultural.
00:24:38.500It speaks to how little these people actually know about Fort McMurray.
00:24:43.540A lot of immigrants come there because there are a lot of jobs.
00:24:46.500And it is surrounded by indigenous communities.
00:24:48.920Well, what they're doing is, and I think the only way they win over and over again is because they somehow try to paint people a certain way.
00:24:57.780You have gay people who are conservative.
00:24:59.960You have gay people who like Dr. Jordan Peterson.
00:25:02.280You have black people who don't ever want to vote NDP that are so pro-oil.
00:25:09.700So I think, like, and the fact is the majority of indigenous people support the oil and gas industry.
00:25:15.880I would suggest that there's no more an indigenous industry in this country than oil and gas.
00:25:21.120Most oil and gas projects are in indigenous communities.
00:25:23.980That's where they get to work and live.
00:25:25.960Well, and I think the thing that the oil companies have done, and frankly, the indigenous companies now, there are oil producers, right?
00:25:33.820Like, for my marketing company, like, 95% of them are indigenous-owned businesses, right?
00:25:39.680So when they make that, when they made that statement that was just so kind of bizarre, it completely caught me off guard.
00:27:01.140The goal, like, I want to move the needle.
00:27:02.600I don't just want to have, you know, millions of reach.
00:27:04.980I want to make it so people in Ontario and Quebec understand where we're coming from and hopefully support us.
00:27:12.280Like, go to their, you know, their politicians and say, look, why are we being so nasty to a province that has given us so much, including our higher level of standard of living, which has a great deal because of Alberta.
