00:00:00.000 It's becoming increasingly clear that when Alberta talks about friends, all we have to do is look south.
00:00:06.580 Canada isn't even in the picture.
00:00:11.820 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel Wednesday, March the 25th.
00:00:15.440 I hope you're having a great start to your Wednesday morning.
00:00:17.580 I am recording this in the evening of Tuesday, March the 24th.
00:00:21.480 Great to have you along. I do have the big blue mug of coffee though, and it is tasting oh so sweet.
00:00:26.180 And I say without hesitation, and this will drive the Trump derangement syndrome people
00:00:32.500 absolutely crazy, but Alberta has a better friend in America than it does in the rest
00:00:38.240 of Canada.
00:00:38.880 You know, we've got a growing independence movement out here, if you haven't heard, and
00:00:42.980 it is growing, and it grows bigger day by day.
00:00:46.800 And you'd think the rest of Canada would say, you know, come on, Alberta, we want you to
00:00:51.420 stay.
00:00:52.480 We're going to give you a little bit so that you'll stay, but we don't get that.
00:00:56.180 We get insults online.
00:00:58.480 We get hatred online from the tolerant and polite Canadians we hear so much about.
00:01:02.940 That's what we get.
00:01:04.340 Meanwhile, if we look south to the United States of America, they're cheering us on.
00:01:09.300 We don't want to become the 51st state.
00:01:11.520 We want to become our own country.
00:01:12.960 But they're cheering us on.
00:01:15.360 And, you know, I think it's quite possible we'll get a pipeline to the United States before we ever get anything in Canada.
00:01:21.120 There's this article right here, and this is happening right now.
00:01:24.640 smith calls for new southbound pipelines says u.s could call first dibs on canadian oil exports
00:01:31.680 alberta is the answer i hope you can see we really are and a little bit more of this story
00:01:37.700 alberta premier daniel smith pitched canadian oil and gas as the answer to energy security
00:01:43.260 concerns and the united states administration's energy dominance ambitions while she called for
00:01:48.420 new cross-border pipelines at a major energy conference in Houston on Tuesday. You've probably
00:01:54.760 heard we want to build a million barrel a day pipeline to the west coast, but there are also
00:01:59.340 proponents who'd like to get about two and a half million barrels per day of additional egress to
00:02:03.700 the United States, Smith said at the Sarah Week conference. So she's down in Houston talking
00:02:11.440 about building a new pipeline to the south, but what do we have here in Canada? Do you think the
00:02:16.460 united states is concerned about all sorts of regulations and rules no but here in canada we
00:02:20.960 are you'll say but john we have a memorandum of understanding and what are the terms of the
00:02:27.340 memorandum of understanding between alberta and the government of canada in a nutshell
00:02:30.980 we can increase our oil and gas production if we implement a major carbon capture project
00:02:37.160 get indigenous engagement and down here if we jack up our industrial carbon tax to 130 dollars a ton
00:02:44.620 which is five times what it is right now, if we only get these things done.
00:02:51.060 I've said that this deal is a deal with the devil. The devil would be Mark Carney,
00:02:54.620 the Liberal government, and Canada itself. I mean, if Danielle Smith gets a pipeline,
00:03:00.860 an investment in a pipeline, all she has to do is jack up the industrial carbon tax,
00:03:05.800 bury all of this carbon dioxide to the tune of $16 billion in the ground, and get indigenous
00:03:12.600 disengagement, a buy-in from the Indigenous people. What does Mark Kearney want? Well,
00:03:16.740 he doesn't want a pipeline. And we know we're not going to get a pipeline. Even if she gets
00:03:22.040 investment, the Indigenous people are going to get in the way. And if they do that,
00:03:25.720 he won't allow a pipeline to go through. He said over and over again, do I have to play the clip
00:03:30.280 again? No. Consensus. The province and the Indigenous people have to buy into this.
00:03:35.980 So he doesn't have a pipeline. They're going to stand in the way of a pipeline. But we don't
00:03:40.900 even have to worry about that now. Because they're not just standing in the way of a pipeline,
00:03:45.340 they're standing in the way of the carbon capture project. Here it is in the Calgary sun. Alberta
00:03:52.100 indigenous and rural communities call for federal environmental impact assessment on Pathways
00:03:57.260 Alliance $16.5 billion carbon capture project. The group raised concerns about the lack of
00:04:04.160 consultation. And who's getting in the way of this? Well, this guy right here. The grifter himself,
00:04:10.140 Chief Alan Adam of the Athabasca Chippewyan First Nations. And who is he? Here he is, right here.
00:04:18.600 First Nations chief receives $55,000 from Tide Foundation. They paid him to oppose the oil sands.
00:04:28.120 So it's looking more likely we'll have a pipeline to the United States
00:04:31.660 before we ever get anything here in Canada. Meanwhile, we've got this story. Smith confirms
00:04:37.760 Alberta-Ottawa energy agreement deadlines will not be met. A short little bit of this story.
00:04:43.200 This is from the Western Standard. The first deadlines outlined in the Memorandum of
00:04:47.080 Understanding, MOU, on energy between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Daniel
00:04:52.300 Smith are now expected not to be met. Speaking Monday at the Serowit by S&P Global Energy
00:04:59.040 Conference in Houston, Smith said negotiations have fallen behind schedule, which highlights
00:05:04.140 the challenges in the deal, which included a proposal for a new B.C. Coast export pipeline.
00:05:09.100 Folks, this is never going to happen. The MOU isn't worth toilet paper, as far as I'm concerned.
00:05:17.680 And all of these barriers are in the way that Mark Carney is depending on. Indigenous
00:05:23.480 obstruction of an oil pipeline, which is absolutely going to happen. But now we don't
00:05:29.820 even have to worry that. They're getting in the way of the carbon capture project.
00:05:33.340 They don't want that either.
00:05:35.400 And this will tie things up for years.
00:05:38.760 Meanwhile, we can go to the United States and probably get a pipeline down there.
00:05:42.160 Now, my question to you is this.
00:05:44.960 Carney's all about net zero.
00:05:46.500 While the rest of the world is turning its back on this insanity, Carney's all about net zero.
00:05:51.060 If we get a 2 million barrel of oil pipeline to the United States of America,
00:05:56.000 will he impose $130 a ton with the industrial carbon tax?
00:05:59.260 Will we have to still build this giant $16.5 billion carbon-sucking machine
00:06:04.700 to bury carbon dioxide underground?
00:06:07.140 I'll bet we will.
00:06:09.960 The only answer, folks, is Alberta independence.
00:06:13.560 And every day we get more reasons to leave.
00:06:18.740 In less than a month, we're going to have a liberal majority in this country.
00:06:22.600 That's going to push a lot of people over to the independence side.
00:06:25.160 What is it, five consecutive governments that are liberal?
00:06:30.040 And if they get a majority, it'll be 15 straight years of liberal mismanagement and incompetence?
00:06:36.800 The United States is a better friend to Alberta than Canada is. It's quite evident. If you like
00:06:42.600 the video, give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications.
00:06:46.060 I'll see you in the next one. Let's go.
