Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 444 AM with the Big Blue Mug of Coffee.
00:00:10.120
Hope you're having a great day today, Sunday, June the 22nd.
00:00:13.640
And I hope your weather is better where you are than it is here in Calgary.
00:00:24.240
So not a great weekend for the first weekend of summer.
00:00:28.840
And if you're a subscriber, thank you very much.
00:00:40.320
And I put out a warning about this bill early last week.
00:00:46.280
It got passed by all the parties in Parliament.
00:00:49.700
Mark Carney looked like the cat who swallowed the canary the other day because he got the
00:00:57.120
I've seen Scott Moe and Daniel Smith in a news conference the other day.
00:01:04.460
I watched Brett Wilson, who's an Albertan, a strong Albertan, who's very, very into the
00:01:12.460
I saw him on with Candace Malcolm the other day putting trust in Carney and the Liberals,
00:01:17.040
which just stunned me because I don't trust these people at all.
00:01:19.700
So Bill C-5 was watered down somewhat, but Carney's inner circle now have the power to
00:01:26.440
pick and fast track what they call nation-building projects here.
00:01:31.160
And I don't think my idea of nation-building projects and probably your idea of nation-building
00:01:36.560
projects are the same as Mark Carney's and the Liberal Party.
00:01:39.720
So what I want to do here is look at a number of things.
00:01:43.100
I'm going to look at this thing a little bit differently.
00:01:46.280
I want to look at, first, Danielle Smith, the Premier of Alberta, and what she wants and
00:01:52.700
I want to look at Scott Moe and Danielle Smith in a news conference they had the other day.
00:02:00.580
Then, I know it's cringeworthy, but I'm going to show you Mark Carney and his plans for C-5,
00:02:10.400
And then I'm going to throw the elephant into the room because the big thing is the elephant.
00:02:16.080
The elephant is hiding right now behind the couch.
00:02:19.280
I can see part of its ear and part of its head.
00:02:25.640
And Mark Carney revealed that the other day as well.
00:02:32.580
We're on summer vacation in Parliament, but the word is back.
00:02:36.120
The word he used constantly during the election campaign to scare voters to vote for him.
00:02:42.580
He uses it still all the time, but it came out the other day when he was talking about Bill C-5.
00:02:53.680
So first, Danielle Smith, what does she want from Mark Carney?
00:02:57.040
We want to see a guaranteed access to economic corridors that include pipelines to get to new markets.
00:03:05.920
We want the repealing of Bill C-69 so that we do not have an unending process for approvals
00:03:12.260
that essentially means no more pipelines can be built.
00:03:14.680
We need to lift the tanker ban off the B.C. coast.
00:03:17.180
We need to eliminate the oil and gas emissions cap that has been proposed, which is a production cap.
00:03:23.280
We need to scrap the so-called clean electricity regulations.
00:03:26.860
We need to end the treatment of plastics as toxic.
00:03:33.360
We need to return oversight of the industrial carbon tax fully to provincial jurisdiction.
00:03:37.900
And we need to halt the federal censorship of energy companies.
00:03:43.360
Because so far, Madam Premier, the federal government, Mark Carney, and the Liberals have given you a big FU
00:03:55.300
But during the campaign, he said he wouldn't repeal Bill C-69.
00:04:01.140
They're not going to get rid of the net zero electric vehicle mandate.
00:04:04.320
Here's a story from the National Post on the screen.
00:04:07.680
And the Conservatives have been after the Liberals in House of Commons in question period about this.
00:04:13.800
They wrap it up in, we're supporting the car industry with our net vehicle mandate.
00:04:19.780
If they were doing that, they would allow the car companies who know what cars to build
00:04:24.000
and know what people want to drive, they'd allow them to choose what cars they make.
00:04:30.820
But Madam Premier, how many of these things have to be ticked off your list
00:04:35.740
before you start leading the independence movement?
00:04:51.480
Because this gives all the control to Mark Carney and the Liberals
00:04:54.960
to make decisions on Alberta and Saskatchewan's future.
00:04:59.140
Here's what Scott Moe said, sitting beside Danielle Smith.
00:05:05.660
The very fact that Bill C-5 has been introduced,
00:05:09.220
which is a bill to legislate around the current regulatory process that we have,
00:05:13.240
I think is an admission that this hard work does have to happen.
00:05:16.320
And so we've been supportive of, yes, prioritizing projects in the short term,
00:05:21.080
which is really a stopgap to fixing the entirety of the regulatory process
00:05:26.880
that we have in Canada so that all projects can move forward.
00:05:30.100
In Saskatchewan, we don't have one or two or three projects that are a priority.
00:05:37.960
Scott Moe and Danielle Smith have big plans, folks.
00:05:44.820
And you see Danielle Smith there nodding along with that.
00:05:47.920
So hundreds of projects in Alberta and Saskatchewan need to be built right now.
00:05:54.100
And Mark Carney is now in charge of what gets built here.
00:05:57.740
Alberta and Saskatchewan are down on their knees,
00:06:00.340
begging Mark Carney and the Liberal government now to get stuff built.
00:06:06.140
Again, Danielle Smith, when are you going to join the independence movement here in Alberta?
00:06:10.500
Alberta, because Carney's asked in this news conference about the passing of Bill C-5.
00:06:18.520
The reporter uses the words great speed when it comes to building these projects
00:06:23.080
that Carney promised during the election campaign.
00:06:26.100
The first word out of Carney's mouth, I think, is it depends.
00:06:33.240
You spoke during the election about the need to build at speeds we've never seen before.
00:06:37.940
How soon should Canadians expect for you to name projects of national significance?
00:06:47.240
You're absolutely right in the premise of the question.
00:06:56.900
obviously it's the federal government, the provinces,
00:07:00.420
indigenous rights holders, the proponents of these projects,
00:07:05.000
labour coming together, identifying where the criteria are met of this.
00:07:12.880
And we will have, I can say this, a high degree of confidence.
00:07:19.760
We will have more potential nation-building projects than the country can build at any one time.
00:07:25.660
And so the challenges is, or the opportunity slash challenge is coming together around,
00:07:32.080
coalescing around certain ones so that they can move forward.
00:07:37.780
So it depends on all of these factors that have to be considered before we build anything.
00:07:43.700
And of course, he, and along with the liberal government, will decide what gets built here.
00:07:48.820
So Scott Moe and Daniel Smith, who have these big plans,
00:07:51.560
well, they have to go and beg to him to get something done.
00:07:53.980
And I want to know, if Quebec comes to Kearney with a big nation-building project
00:07:59.580
that's a bunch of solar panels in the middle of Quebec,
00:08:03.060
and Daniel Smith comes to Kearney with an oil pipeline,
00:08:06.340
which one do you think Mark Kearney is going to choose?
00:08:10.720
We'll get to the elephant in the room in just a moment.
00:08:15.360
We have more nation-building projects than the country can build at any one time.
00:08:20.480
Well, Moe says there's literally in excess of a hundred projects.
00:08:34.180
Moe and Smith have to go beg and prostrate themselves in front of Mark Kearney.
00:08:38.960
And then, of course, there's that word that popped up once again,
00:08:46.140
It's the elephant that's been around for a long time that I saw.
00:08:52.540
and you could see its ear, its head, and part of its trunk.
00:08:55.640
I could see the elephant when this guy got into the race,
00:09:00.360
And he was talking about running for the leadership of the Liberal Party.
00:09:03.820
He mentioned it in the news conference the other day about C5.
00:09:08.540
Yeah, we've been rightly stressing here is partnership with Indigenous peoples.
00:09:13.280
But I will also stress consistency with our climate goals and environmental responsibilities.
00:09:27.540
But we now go back to climate goals and environmental responsibilities.
00:09:35.520
So we go back to Danielle Smith and her demands.
00:09:38.660
As I said earlier, Carney has given the big F you to Daniel Smith on two of these things.
00:10:03.980
How long before they're all gone because of climate goals and environmental responsibilities?
00:10:15.920
I just don't think things are going to get built because of that.
00:10:30.180
I mean, if you're in the oil and gas industry, would you invest in this country with the word,
00:10:43.240
I think that Danielle Smith and Scott Moe want him to be exactly clear on where he stands on pipelines
00:10:56.540
And he uses it all the time, but he brought it up during C5 the other day.
00:11:00.980
He said it all the time during the election campaign to scare people.
00:11:06.640
I hate to say it, but we are in the middle of the toughest crisis that we have ever experienced.
00:11:14.960
From my experience of how you deal with a crisis.
00:11:33.880
He even went into all the people that this crisis was hurting.
00:11:38.600
And government's now on vacation for the next couple of months.
00:11:41.440
I guess I should be thankful because as long as government isn't really sitting, it might save me a little bit of money.
00:11:49.240
But they're not solving this problem if they're on vacation.
00:11:52.920
And I don't think he wants to solve the problem because it's easier for Carney and the people who support him to hate Donald Trump to do actually sit down and resolve this problem.
00:12:02.820
And remember, the other guy said government would be sitting all summer long to get things done.
00:12:09.260
The promise of Canada is over as far as I'm concerned.
