Transcript

00:00:00.000 There's not a man, woman, or child in this room who doesn't know what I'm about to say.
00:00:06.120 People do not need to be informed as often as they need to be reminded.
00:00:13.080 Whatever it is, whatever it is about this industry,
00:00:19.920 upon which the defense of the Canadian economy during the worst recession we have ever seen, was structured.
00:00:27.360 This industry was the shield during that particular maelstrom.
00:00:33.800 Two, where is confederation being renewed in any practical sense in Canada today?
00:00:41.400 I'll tell you where.
00:00:43.000 It's in Fort McMurray.
00:00:44.980 The mixture of people from every province working together, man and woman.
00:00:52.300 People have left places they have never left in generations.
00:00:55.440 The real interaction, the real rebinding of the national idea is taking place in real time without politics
00:01:06.800 at one of the great work sites in the history of the entire country.
00:01:13.180 You are renewing confederation, whether you know it or not.
00:01:16.860 Thirdly, for all the people and all the success, this is the 20th anniversary of a great company.
00:01:24.980 And I'm glad to see, by the way, that there are elements of pride in the way that you are...
00:01:30.060 I am tired.
00:01:32.100 I am tired of the bowed head.
00:01:36.180 When people achieve something, they usually stand up and beam.
00:01:40.880 I took the radio show to Fort McMurray.
00:01:45.840 I met some wonderful people.
00:01:47.200 They gave me, naturally, a little tour.
00:01:50.420 And I'm not slandering them.
00:01:52.660 I'm not sarcastic on this.
00:01:54.460 They showed me where they had reclaimed dirty water.
00:01:58.200 They showed me where they had put lawn and grass back on piles of dirt that you could never believe.
00:02:03.880 They showed me trees.
00:02:06.280 And then we went somewhere else and they showed me more trees.
00:02:10.140 Most of the afternoon, I was looking at grass, reclaimed water, and trees.
00:02:16.740 Finally, I said to the person giving the tour,
00:02:20.120 Do you have any oil?
00:02:26.100 There's my point.
00:02:27.480 Stop apologizing for what you're doing.
00:02:36.420 In fact, reverse it.
00:02:40.040 Alberta, Calgary, you've shown it once again.
00:02:45.160 You had a flood here recently.
00:02:47.600 And in most other jurisdictions, this would still be cramped with doubt and misery.
00:02:55.360 This is one of the only jurisdictions in North America where a calamity re-energizes the community.
00:03:03.760 Are you apologizing for that?
00:03:11.800 Well, then, let us bring it back to the industry.
00:03:16.660 I know too many laborers, too many taxi drivers,
00:03:20.080 people who work in hotels,
00:03:22.340 people who had such hard times before,
00:03:25.840 who are up in that place.
00:03:27.180 I also know the captains of some of the industries.
00:03:30.380 But it goes the whole way.
00:03:32.840 Understand what you are doing.
00:03:35.920 They keep talking about the 19th century railroad,
00:03:38.680 the great project of the 19th century binding.
00:03:41.820 This is the project of the 21st century.
00:03:46.260 And everyone is ashamed to admit it.
00:03:49.220 I like trees.
00:03:51.920 I'm sure you do, too.
00:03:54.620 But there's nothing going on in Alberta that is murder on the trees.
00:04:00.140 You're at the very edge of technological achievement.
00:04:03.360 You're at the very edge of scientific investigation.
00:04:05.820 You're doing things with resources that even 60 years ago would be attributed to demonic powers.
00:04:15.380 Do you realize just how first century this is?
00:04:21.520 This is something to be truly lauded, celebrated.
00:04:26.720 And then the people who criticize you.
00:04:30.400 Why are you listening to them?
00:04:32.140 When was the last...
00:04:34.780 This is a serious question.
00:04:36.980 When was the last time that Elizabeth May said,
00:04:40.060 You know something?
00:04:41.140 It's so really, really, really good
00:04:43.320 that those poor unemployed folks down in Newfoundland
00:04:46.660 have now got great jobs.
00:04:48.300 They're up there and they're crane workers.
00:04:50.560 Or they're going out into the forest.
00:04:52.560 Or they're doing safety inspections.
00:04:54.640 Or they're on offshore rigs.
00:04:56.360 What a wonderful thing you oil companies are
00:04:59.080 that you'll help so many ordinary people
00:05:02.200 get back their dignity,
00:05:04.160 hold their families together,
00:05:05.660 and have the taste of self-reliance in their mouth.
00:05:18.400 Even the company as successful
00:05:20.560 as the one being celebrated here tonight,
00:05:23.500 and even the people that are responsible for this achievement.
00:05:26.960 Here's the last strand.
00:05:29.340 This is not just an economic story.
00:05:31.420 That's what's wrong with all the defenses
00:05:34.180 that I hear about it.
00:05:36.480 It is not just an economic story.
00:05:39.600 And the idea that the oil industry
00:05:41.200 is any more villainous than any other industry.
00:05:44.920 We're all a mix of good and bad.
00:05:47.860 Dentists are no worse than oil workers or journalists.
00:05:50.820 Stop this.
00:05:53.980 Understand that it's not just the commerce.
00:05:57.860 That the Canada we all hold dear.
00:06:01.260 The standards of living that are truly unimaginable.
00:06:07.020 The advances in healthcare.
00:06:09.120 The healthcare technology we now have.
00:06:12.160 All of this.
00:06:13.740 And the individual happiness of families and family members.
00:06:17.820 Unemployment is a sickness.
00:06:21.660 I know enough about it.
00:06:23.520 Understand all the social consequences,
00:06:26.820 the cultural consequences,
00:06:28.760 and, and,
00:06:30.780 because you are the drivers of it.
00:06:33.580 Applaud.
00:06:35.040 Applaud the level
00:06:36.460 of scientific and technological wizardry
00:06:40.820 that is providing the most fundamental substance
00:06:44.800 for 21st century society.
00:06:48.400 Energy rules the world.
00:06:51.760 Without it,
00:06:52.360 we're back throwing stones at each other.
00:06:55.560 So,
00:06:56.620 I'll wrap it up.
00:06:59.500 I will wrap it up.
00:07:03.660 I was very quick when I said thank you,
00:07:05.880 but I wish,
00:07:06.800 I wish there were times to detail
00:07:08.720 how many I know,
00:07:10.520 and know personally,
00:07:12.820 that got hauled out of psychological ruts,
00:07:16.500 that walked away from the shame
00:07:18.380 of not being able to
00:07:19.340 basically make their own living,
00:07:21.500 who've come to a new province
00:07:24.220 and saw new elements of confederation,
00:07:27.160 who opened their eyes to a larger view
00:07:29.420 of the entire country itself.
00:07:32.060 Others,
00:07:32.540 young ones,
00:07:33.120 who come here
00:07:33.640 and see these machines
00:07:35.100 and see the science that's underneath.
00:07:37.400 Do you understand how much mind,
00:07:40.120 mind,
00:07:41.740 is in Fort McMurray?
00:07:44.120 It's probably,
00:07:45.060 in its way,
00:07:45.620 one of the most intellectual landscapes
00:07:47.700 on the entire planet.
00:07:50.640 It certainly wouldn't start a song,
00:07:52.620 I was a miner for a heart of gold.
00:07:56.720 No.
00:07:58.680 So,
00:07:59.380 on the 20th anniversary of the company,
00:08:02.420 on the gathering here
00:08:03.680 of the people of this province,
00:08:05.460 understand
00:08:05.920 that the project may be in the province
00:08:08.560 and your companies may be of the province
00:08:10.820 more than of any other.
00:08:13.060 But this is a pan-Canadian thing.
00:08:15.380 It is larger than industry.
00:08:16.760 It is larger than politics.
00:08:19.880 You should exult
00:08:21.180 in what you're doing.
00:08:24.560 You should take the same pride in this
00:08:26.740 as the craftsmen of old
00:08:28.860 took when they sculpted,
00:08:31.740 carved,
00:08:32.580 or painted.
00:08:34.220 This is a triumph of the spirit,
00:08:36.740 not something that anybody
00:08:38.980 has to apologize for.
00:08:41.840 And Alberta and Calgary
00:08:43.600 are among,
00:08:45.080 in my judgment,
00:08:45.760 the most vital
00:08:47.100 and in every sense of the term,
00:08:50.120 one of the most energetic regions
00:08:51.960 in the entire planet.
00:08:54.300 Take care of yourself,
00:08:55.200 drink lots of booze.
