00:00:00.720 Hi, it's John and welcome to the backyard at my house, out here with my cats on my back deck on a lovely day here in Southeast Calgary.
00:00:10.340 Keeping up to date on what's going on in the news, and I heard a report that Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford are looking into putting a pipeline from Alberta to Ontario.
00:00:23.500 Now, what an amazing idea that is.
00:00:27.200 Now, apparently the pipeline will go from Alberta through Saskatchewan, Manitoba, north of Lake Superior, and all the way down to my hometown of Sarnia.
00:00:35.940 Now, the problem with this is, now it's fine for them to look into this.
00:00:40.120 They're just probing this idea right now.
00:00:42.080 The problem here is if this ever gets a go-ahead, the same thing is going to be a problem like the one that was announced last week between Daniel Smith and Mark Carney.
00:00:53.100 No one, no private company wants to invest in a pipeline in Canada because our oil here is uncompetitive.
00:01:01.800 And the regulatory scheme that's put forward by the liberals and the environmentalists and the climate cultists keep anybody from having any faith in investing in Canada.
00:01:11.580 Canada is uninvestable right now.
00:01:15.120 That's a huge problem.
00:01:16.980 Now, there's also another thing that's an issue here.
00:01:20.380 As I said, it's supposed to go from Alberta to Saskatchewan to Manitoba into Ontario.
00:01:26.000 You might remember the picture of the premiers who signed the Memorandum of Understanding regarding possible work out east of Alberta.
00:01:34.440 Somebody was missing in the photo. You had Danielle Smith, Scott Moe from Saskatchewan and Doug Ford from Ontario.
00:01:41.780 Rob Canoo, the premier of Manitoba, wasn't part of that MOU.
00:01:46.960 of course the aboriginal or indigenous issue is going to be a thing through manitoba canoe is all
00:01:52.700 about that you know and he's not in favor of pipelines either so if this ever gets the go
00:01:58.340 ahead what's it going to cost the pipeline last week has no investor the cost to taxpayers around
00:02:05.780 43 billion dollars this pipeline is going to be a lot longer 100 billion dollars 120 billion dollars
00:02:12.780 if it ever gets approval by the federal government.
00:02:16.860 And again, we have to go through the feds to get anything done in this country.
00:02:21.160 That's why Canada is broken.
00:02:22.920 That's why so many people in Alberta want independence.
00:02:26.000 We don't want to have to ask for permission anymore.
00:02:29.000 So pardon me for being skeptical.
00:02:31.780 Go ahead, look into your pipeline, but nothing is ever going to get done in this country
00:02:35.940 as long as we have liberals like Mark Carney, the environmentalists out there,
00:02:40.720 the pencil pushers and the climate cultists in Canada. Just my thoughts.
