After the First Ministers' meeting, all 7 premiers of the Western premiers have to beg Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to get things done in Canada, and it makes me sick that we have to ask Mark Carney to do it.

00:00:00.160 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel 513 AM, Tuesday, June 3rd, with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:06.040 Hope you're having a great start to your day. As you can see, things look a little bit different here today.
00:00:11.040 I'm trying to make my life a little bit easier when I shoot these videos, so I'm shooting this on my Mac.
00:00:15.980 I'm not sure if the video quality is quite up to snuff. I'll decide that later, but thanks for bearing with me.
00:00:22.460 And thanks for being here. If you've subscribed, thanks so much. If you haven't, be sure to click on subscribe.
00:00:27.680 So, yesterday was the first ministers' meeting, and folks, people are putting on a brave face.
00:00:35.120 Doug Ford did. He said it was the best meeting in 10 years. Well, I'm not surprised.
00:00:38.760 I mean, you had Justin Trudeau, so it was a better meeting. So, that's something good, but I'm not optimistic at all.
00:00:45.180 I did a video a while ago about how mediocre Canada is. You've got a bunch of provincial premiers, except for David Eby, who wasn't there,
00:00:52.780 sitting around begging of the federal government to get stuff done. And it makes me sick that we have to beg Mark Carney,
00:01:00.300 who got parachuted in back in the early part of the year to be the leader of the country. It makes me sick.
00:01:06.100 Alberta's got big plans. I'm an independent Albertan, and I've got a different thought when it comes to independence,
00:01:16.060 and I'll get to that in just a moment. We've got big plans here. Daniel Smith has big plans.
00:01:22.140 Northern Gateway, Energy East, Keystone XL. We want to get rid of all the barriers that are in the way of this province to get stuff done.
00:01:31.040 God, we've been through it for months here. Daniel Smith laid them all out. The Bill C-69, the tanker ban, there's nine of them.
00:01:38.940 We still haven't got any answers. On Sunday, or a few days ago, she said, Carney had until Sunday to give her answers.
00:01:46.140 We come out of the meeting yesterday. We got nothing. She's asked the very first question when she's on CPAC.
00:01:53.380 The question she's asked said, you came here for answers, and basically, you got none.
00:01:57.680 Premier Smith, thank you for taking the time. My pleasure.
00:02:00.060 So the final communique, perhaps not outlining the final projects that people thought it might,
00:02:05.480 but it did mention the Western Arctic Corridor. How important was that for you?
00:02:11.660 I think it's going to be an amazing project, and the fact that all seven premiers in the West came together
00:02:16.820 at our last Western premiers meeting to identify, which I think is a visionary project,
00:02:21.620 that would see a corridor stretch from, call it Port of Prince Rupert, to the Port of Churchill,
00:02:28.140 or one port on either coast that may not be exactly at that, depending on what it is the private sector says.
00:02:35.400 It opens up a lot of opportunity to have a good conversation about oil pipelines, gas pipelines, transmission lines.
00:02:41.420 So, she's putting on a brave face. We get the Western Arctic Corridor, which is just fine.
00:02:47.000 Prince Rupert, to Churchill. Do you really think anything's going to go through British Columbia?
00:02:51.940 No. David Eby doesn't want that. He wants to be a clean energy superpower. He said it back in early May.
00:02:59.320 We have a generational opportunity here to be a clean energy superpower, to contribute to the vision of Canada
00:03:05.320 Canada as an energy superpower in our own way here in British Columbia, while protecting our province,
00:03:14.180 but also our planet from pollution, ensuring that we're using our clean electricity to build.
00:03:21.400 David Eby does not want a pipeline going through British Columbia.
00:03:24.460 Danielle Smith is asked about it in the CPAC interview.
00:03:27.460 She says he does not want a bitumen pipeline. It's not going to happen.
00:03:30.920 And it's convenient for Mark Carney, who's loving the fact that all these premiers have to come and beg him,
00:03:36.460 the Prime Minister, to get things done in this country.
00:03:38.780 Again, we're a mediocre country, that we have to do that.
00:03:42.820 But Carney can just say, listen, we all have to agree on these things.
00:03:45.900 Oh, sorry, Alberta. BC doesn't want a pipeline. That's not going to happen.
00:03:50.260 Which makes me just think that instead of an independent Alberta, we need an independent West.
00:03:55.540 Screw the East. Who needs them?
00:03:56.960 Northern British Columbia. The hell with Southern British Columbia.
00:04:01.180 They're the only people who vote in Liberals.
00:04:03.740 The North went all blue in the election.
00:04:05.720 Northern British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba.
00:04:09.100 A Western alliance. A Western independence alliance.
00:04:13.460 To paraphrase Ralph Klein, let the Western bastards freeze in the dark.
00:04:18.560 Because they want their green energy. That's what David Eby wants.
00:04:22.240 And it's a convenient out. David Eby.
00:04:24.660 Another convenient out is here on the screen right now.
00:04:27.840 Proposed fast tracking of national projects.
00:04:30.280 Serious threat to treaty rights.
00:04:31.800 AFN cheap. Another one of the outs.
00:04:34.640 Sorry, the Assembly of First Nations don't agree with pipelines.
00:04:38.340 Alberta, screw you. 1.00
00:04:40.080 Says Mark Carney.
00:04:42.180 AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse-Nepinac wrote
00:04:44.920 that the proposed bill suggests a serious threat to First Nations exercise of treaty rights.
00:04:49.840 Read some of the treaties.
00:04:50.700 It says the First Nations have ceded territory in a lot of those treaties.
00:04:54.980 They don't own all the land.
00:04:56.440 I get so tired of these people.
00:04:58.880 Always talking about reconciliation.
00:05:01.360 Our national leader is talking about reconciliation.
00:05:04.060 There will never be reconciliation in Canada
00:05:06.800 because the grift would have to end.
00:05:10.100 There's lots of money in being a victim.
00:05:12.140 The Assembly of First Nations loves being a victim. 0.97
00:05:14.800 Then Danielle Smith is asked about the national unity issue
00:05:19.220 and in her answer she provides another one of Mark Carney's outs
00:05:23.540 and one that could be a serious problem with his leadership
00:05:26.920 and the Liberal Party still leading this country in a few months.
00:05:31.880 You said today's meeting would have significance over national unity.
00:05:37.500 Now that the meeting is done, what would you say about the state of national unity?
00:05:41.360 What would you say about the message being sent to Albertans?
00:05:44.300 I think it's a first step of a multi-step process.
00:05:48.060 I think that having words on the page is one thing
00:05:51.480 but having that translate into action is another.
00:05:53.760 I think what Albertans will be judging is
00:05:56.720 is there an appetite to get a project built?
00:05:59.920 Is there an approval process that leads to a yes?
00:06:03.160 And are there shovels in the ground?
00:06:04.720 That's the kind of thing that they'll be looking for.
00:06:06.620 But I think mostly it's a spirit of cooperation with the federal government
00:06:10.240 which we haven't had for some time.
00:06:12.140 And I'll have a better idea as we go forward
00:06:14.860 looking at some of the modifications that need to be made to those nine bad bills
00:06:19.300 to see if that spirit of cooperation continues.
00:06:22.500 I'm hopeful but I know that the prime minister has tensions within his own caucus.
00:06:27.580 I think he campaigned though on being an energy superpower.
00:06:31.300 And to do that you've got to do things differently
00:06:33.140 than the way we've done them for the past 10 years.
00:06:35.560 As an independent Albertan, I really don't care what Mark Carney,
00:06:38.820 the Liberal Party, the federal government, the premiers promise.
00:06:42.260 I don't care if Danielle Smith gets everything she wants. 0.96
00:06:45.180 I still want out.
00:06:46.680 It doesn't matter to me at all.
00:06:49.060 There's always another tyrannical government down the road 0.95
00:06:51.500 that's going to screw us over.
00:06:52.580 It's been going on for, what, five decades or more?
00:06:55.260 No more.
00:06:56.480 That's enough.
00:06:57.240 Then she also mentioned that the prime minister has tensions within his own caucus.
00:07:01.280 Of course he does.
00:07:02.500 There's a lot of climate cultists in the Liberal Party.
00:07:04.560 They voted for years to raise carbon taxes.
00:07:06.860 They believe this.
00:07:07.900 It's their religion.
00:07:09.240 How many of them are going to walk
00:07:10.600 if he starts promising oil pipelines and natural gas all over the country?
00:07:14.980 That's not going to happen.
00:07:15.940 That's another one of his outs.
00:07:17.000 Then, of course, there's Legault in Quebec, who's noncommittal as usual.
00:07:21.840 I didn't see the project, if there's one.
00:07:24.620 So we need to see what's the economic impact for Quebec.
00:07:29.260 What is the impact on the environment?
00:07:32.120 So what I say is that if there's a project going through Quebec, we'll study it.
00:07:38.260 That's all what I said.
00:07:40.280 Will there be a pipeline going through Quebec?
00:07:42.720 Not likely.
00:07:43.900 There's another one of Mark Carney's outs.
00:07:45.960 And then you get the people who live out east who don't understand a damn thing
00:07:50.860 about what goes on here in Alberta.
00:07:53.280 I used to live there.
00:07:54.500 I didn't understand either.
00:07:55.980 Check out this tweet.
00:07:57.340 Lori Hunter resigned Danielle Smith.
00:08:00.820 True North eager beaver media.
00:08:02.640 Of course, he, him.
00:08:04.300 One of the most unhelpful things about the incessant anti-Canada rhetoric
00:08:08.160 from the impressively corrupt oil and gas lobbyists masquerading as Premier of Alberta
00:08:13.160 is the constant framing that it is 100% up to Ottawa to repair to the relationship she is torching.
00:08:20.280 I just mentioned five decades of Alberta being screwed over. 0.99
00:08:24.020 This is what people in the east think.
00:08:26.440 And I replied, you probably don't live in Alberta.
00:08:29.960 I'm not optimistic.
00:08:33.880 I'm not optimistic at all.
00:08:36.140 I don't think Danielle Smith is optimistic.
00:08:38.540 I think she's putting on a brave face.
00:08:40.800 Still looking for answers.
00:08:41.980 A lot of answers.
00:08:43.060 Nothing was answered yesterday.
00:08:44.860 By Mark Carney, the Liberal Party, any of the Provincial Premiers at that meeting.
00:08:49.380 Thank you very much for watching.
00:08:50.760 I do appreciate it.
