00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John. Welcome to the channel. Monday, May 25th. I hope you're having a great day.
00:00:06.540 9.48 a.m. Thank you so much for being here. I don't often do two videos in a day, but
00:00:12.120 I heard a news story when I was coming back from picking up some stuff from my yard that
00:00:16.680 I wanted to talk about a little bit. And it was a story about Mark Carney, and I came
00:00:21.820 home to see if I could find it online, and this is on the CTV News website. And it's
00:00:27.420 very short, and as you can see at the bottom, it says more coming. Let me read it to you.
00:00:32.780 Prime Minister Mark Carney says the Alberta referendum is a dangerous bluff if people think
00:00:38.780 it can be used as leverage to strengthen their position in future negotiations. Carney says he
00:00:44.420 saw the effects of that firsthand when he was governor of the Bank of England after the Brexit
00:00:49.000 vote, and people are still trying to undo damage from that decision a decade later.
00:00:54.780 What I would like to say to Mr. Carney is this.
00:00:57.340 People often ask me, John, why do you want Alberta independence?
00:01:00.240 And most people would say money.
00:01:03.420 But I say I'm tired of asking for permission from Ottawa as an Albertan.
00:01:09.020 I've said it before here.
00:01:10.540 I call Canada the country of no.
00:01:12.780 We ask for things.
00:01:14.100 We're told no.
00:01:15.300 We're told no by people like Mark Carney.
00:01:17.440 We're told no by people like Justin Trudeau.
00:01:20.280 We're told no by the Liberal Party.
00:01:21.980 We're told no by the pencil pushers and bureaucrats and the establishment and the politicians and
00:01:28.960 everybody out east. They tell us no. And this isn't a bluff, Mr. Carney. This is the real thing.
00:01:35.680 You see, when Alberta votes for its independence, we're not going to be asking for permission for
00:01:40.780 anything anymore. We're not going to be asking for things and told no. We're just going to do it.
00:01:47.360 and our lives will be better for it. You should mind what's going on in Canada because we feel
00:01:53.780 we're going to do much better than Canada and Canada will be far worse off than Alberta after
00:01:59.420 we vote for independence. Now, as far as you being the governor of the Bank of England or an economist
00:02:06.180 or somebody who thinks they can handle our economy here in Canada, you're an absolute disaster. 0.68
00:02:13.140 You were a disaster as the governor of the Bank of England.
00:02:16.500 We were warned about you.
00:02:18.720 I think it is extraordinary that Mark Carney has become the prime minister of Canada.
00:02:23.260 He did a terrible job in Britain of the governorship of the Bank of England.
00:02:28.560 He created a lot of the problems that blew up on my watch and that I got blamed for were actually created by him.
00:02:34.560 He backed Labour in the election and Rachel Reeves' policies, which are leading the country to bankruptcy.
00:02:42.820 So why on earth the Liberal Party of Canada has selected this man, I have no idea.
00:02:48.620 And I think it is illegitimate that this guy has never been elected as a member of Parliament.
00:02:54.980 I don't know what is going on in Canada, but in the same way as I think people in Britain need to wake up to what the real threat to our country is,
00:03:02.840 i think they need to wake up in canada we were warned about you mr carney and we tried to warn
00:03:08.600 other people about you but they wouldn't listen i can assure you the alberta independence movement
00:03:15.500 is no bluff we are damn serious about this and before you go around trying to tell albertans
00:03:22.460 what we can and cannot do perhaps you should get your own house in order because it's a mess
00:03:27.900 to those people who are sitting on the fence or are considering voting yes
00:03:34.680 in an upcoming referendum on independence if you're tired of the unfair practices of people
00:03:41.000 like mr carney and other politicians and the pencil pushers and the bureaucrats and the
00:03:46.520 establishment and ottawa telling you what to do and what you can't do there's plenty of room
00:03:52.840 on the independent side.
00:03:55.620 Thank you for watching.
00:03:57.260 I'll see you in the next one.
