Summary
I believe I can have two different thoughts on something or somebody at the same time. I did this video the other day about Premier Danielle Smith and how I think she is a secret weapon for Alberta independence. She is critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and what he has been doing to Alberta over the years, but I also think she's incredibly smart. And I think we should do that more often.

Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel, 326 a.m. Tuesday, May the 12th. I hope you're having a
00:00:08.080
great start to your Tuesday and I appreciate you being here. Thank you so much. And I don't do
00:00:13.240
this very often, but you would help me get to 51,000 subscribers if you were to click on
00:00:19.700
subscribe right now, if you haven't already. Thank you very much. Well, I believe I can have
00:00:25.520
two different thoughts on something or somebody at the same time. I did this video the other day
00:00:32.780
about Premier Danielle Smith on how I think she is a secret weapon for Alberta independence. We
00:00:37.780
only have to use her words. She's very critical of Mark Carney, the Liberal government, Justin
00:00:43.040
Trudeau, and what has been happening and what the Liberal government has been doing to Alberta
00:00:47.260
over the years. And I think we should do that more often. But I also think she's incredibly
00:00:53.120
smart, but at the same time, she might be a little bit naive. I think of this article right here.
00:00:59.960
We're hearing more and more about this memorandum of understanding. The prime minister shares my
00:01:04.840
urgency. Alberta premier believes a framework largely in place on carbon pricing under the
00:01:10.420
energy accord. Premier Daniel Smith believes a framework for federal provincial agreement on
00:01:15.060
ramping up Alberta's industrial carbon price has largely been reached with prime minister Mark
00:01:20.160
Kearney, one that could be unveiled as early as this week. Now, I think the timing of this is
00:01:25.840
suspect. I don't think it's any coincidence that this has happened about a week after the 300,000
00:01:34.620
signatures were handed over in Edmonton last week for Alberta to have a question on a ballot
00:01:40.540
regarding independence here in October. I don't think this is a coincidence at all. And I think
00:01:46.080
that Carney and Daniel Smith think they can placate Albertans by throwing us this bone of
00:01:52.380
a possible perhaps maybe pipeline, which isn't likely to happen anyway. We want a hell of a lot
00:01:57.220
more than that, the people in Alberta independence. And we know that even if this pipeline were to go
00:02:03.000
through, the liberals would put their boot on our neck in the future anyway, and stop us from
00:02:08.100
getting the prosperity that we truly want and need here in Alberta. But I think the premier is being
00:02:13.660
naive. You see, there's five things that need to be done to get things, need to be done to get
00:02:18.880
things done here in Alberta. And I would start with the laws that are in place right now that
00:02:25.200
stop us from getting pipelines built. You see, you might remember, let's take you back to a little
00:02:31.240
over a year ago, I think it was, when Mark Carney did this. We will be eliminating the Canada fuel
00:02:39.720
charge, the consumer fuel charge immediately. So it's my honour on behalf of my colleagues
00:02:51.420
What Carney did there was performative, like much of the things he does. And I'm going to
00:02:56.180
run through a list of some other things in just a moment to prove my point. But it really
00:03:00.740
accomplished nothing because the consumer carbon tax was still on the books until an
00:03:06.040
act of parliament ended it earlier this year. I think it was called Bill C-4. So until an act
00:03:12.000
of parliament gets rid of the laws that stop us from building pipelines and getting the oil on
00:03:16.800
tankers on the West Coast, this will never happen. And those laws are Bill C-69, the anti-pipeline
00:03:24.280
law, and Bill C-48, the tanker ban. And of course, there's the indigenous groups that don't want
1.00
00:03:29.760
tankers off the West Coast that are going to get in the way. We've discussed this before.
00:03:36.580
And for those of you who aren't paying attention in the rest of the country,
00:03:39.440
you should be because this project to take carbon dioxide out of the air
00:03:43.800
and put it in the ground here in Alberta will largely be paid for by you.
00:03:47.960
The estimated cost right now is around $20 billion.
00:03:53.600
It'll be twice that much to accomplish virtually nothing.
00:03:59.080
which Danielle Smith is negotiating with Mark Carney right now.
00:04:02.800
here's an article in the national post talking about this this from just yesterday the easy
00:04:09.060
fixes Carney isn't doing if his whole plan is to boost the economy there are many levers he
00:04:14.080
hasn't pulled this article from Tristan Hopper link in the description from the national post
00:04:18.220
the first thing on the list is repeal the industrial carbon tax and the premier of Alberta
00:04:24.480
is negotiating with this guy over this and we keep hearing this in article after article after
00:04:29.300
article how this is not good for investment in Canada. More on that in just a second.
00:04:36.080
Danielle Smith says he has a radical net zero agenda. He's called Carney out on this. Well,
00:04:42.000
call him out and say, no, we're not doing this. No carbon sucking machine, no industrial carbon tax.
00:04:48.500
Get rid of the laws that get in the way. They get in the way of prosperity in Alberta. This
00:04:53.240
in the national interest of Canada get the hell out of the way. From this article, just this week,
00:05:01.380
Synovus Energy CEO John McKenzie told a conference outside Montreal that no other oil-producing
00:05:07.100
nation maintains a similar tax. So rather than its intended purpose of incentivizing decarbonization,
00:05:13.060
it incents industry to invest outside of Canada. We have created a set of national policies and
00:05:19.560
regulations that make resource development and investment in Canada uncompetitive with the rest
00:05:25.260
of the world, he said. The industrial carbon tax adds an extra five to fifteen dollars to every
00:05:31.080
barrel of oil. We become uncompetitive. And the next thing on the list from Tristan Hopper,
00:05:36.140
repeal the tanker ban. And what does it say? Right now, it is illegal to sail an oil tanker
00:05:42.700
into the one stretch of Canadian coastline where it would be most profitable to establish an oil
00:05:48.640
export port. Shipping oil in a tanker from the west coast of Canada is illegal, and only an
00:05:55.300
act of parliament is going to change that. But Mark Carney and Danielle Smith will walk out in
00:06:00.760
a couple of days. They'll be hand in hand, raised in the air, big smiles on their face. We've come
00:06:06.300
to an agreement on an industrial carbon tax, which makes our oil uncompetitive, and it drives up
00:06:12.600
costs for you. Then they'll announce they've got the giant carbon-sucking machine known as
00:06:17.420
pathways, which is $20 billion mostly paid by you, which will drive up costs for you.
00:06:24.320
And there's still one little thing that hasn't been resolved here, investment. Danielle Smith
00:06:29.540
herself has said, if government has to pay for the pipeline, it will be a huge failure. So we need
00:06:35.480
investors. But this all stifles investment in Canada as well. And this is all performative,
00:06:42.600
just like signing off on the consumer carbon tax last year. Let me run through a little list
00:06:48.680
I've given you. See, Mark Carney doesn't have to do anything. He merely has to talk about it
00:06:53.620
and the elbows up people think he's actually accomplishing something. He's do nothing Carney.
00:06:58.680
So last June in Kananaskis, Mark Carney said he would have a deal on trade with Donald Trump
00:07:07.040
within 30 days, but that didn't happen. He promised he would eliminate the interprovincial
00:07:13.940
trade barriers here in Canada by last July 1st. That hasn't happened. He said his major projects
00:07:22.560
office, which is 20 minutes away from where I'm sitting right here in Calgary, would fast track
00:07:28.760
all these things, all these giant projects. Two are underway right now, and those were already
00:07:34.920
in the works before Mark Carney even became prime minister. So that isn't happening. Mark
00:07:40.600
Carney said he would build homes faster, he would build them smarter, and he would build them
00:07:45.380
Canadian, but that isn't happening. He said he would spend less, but as you know, by this mini
00:07:51.900
budget we heard about a week or so ago, yeah, the deficit isn't as high, but it's stratospheric
00:07:57.940
at $68 billion other than COVID years, this is off the charts. Everything this man does is
00:08:06.220
performative, is really accomplishing nothing. But merely by saying it, people believe him.
00:08:14.160
We need to get away from this pipe dream. Danielle Smith needs to call him out on this.
00:08:19.080
Five things you need to do to get a pipeline. Get rid of Bill C-69, get rid of Bill C-48,
0.99
00:08:25.000
eight, get rid of the Pathways Project, remove the industrial carbon tax, and get Mark Carney,
00:08:30.540
the Liberals, and Ottawa out of Alberta's way. Thank you very much for watching. If you like
