00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 438 AM, Wednesday, November 26th. I hope
00:00:07.740 you're having a great start to your Wednesday morning, minus 11 Celsius in Calgary right
00:00:13.420 now. Thank goodness I've got my big blue mug of coffee to help keep me warm today. I hope
00:00:18.200 you do as well. I hope you're warm wherever you may be today. And today I'm going to show
00:00:22.500 you some video. Masterful job by Pierre Polyev calling out Mark Carney in question period
00:00:30.180 yesterday over and over and over again as Carney the coward cowers in behind Scott McKinnon,
00:00:36.200 the Liberal House leader. Scott McKinnon, I believe that's the name. Correct me if I'm
00:00:39.960 wrong. It was masterful. Wonderful job here. Now Carney did answer a couple of questions,
00:00:45.120 but for the most part, Polyev says he can't even stand up. He hides under his desk. He
00:00:50.840 needs to wait for this. So I got up this morning and I thought, you know, I want to do a video
00:00:57.740 based on this story right here, but I want to do it in the words of not myself, but Premier
00:01:03.500 Danielle Smith, Mark Carney, Pierre Polyev, maybe David Eby on why I'm so skeptical about
00:01:10.060 this announcement. It's going to be the biggest announcement in Canada since the election. This
00:01:16.080 big announcement tomorrow about a memorandum of understanding between Mark Carney and my Premier
00:01:21.680 Daniel Smith to get a pipeline to the coast. And I continue to say there will never be a shovel in
00:01:26.160 the ground. It's not going to happen. And Polyev did all my work yesterday. This article, I mean,
00:01:33.000 it's same article in the National Post. Alberta deal will create necessary conditions for potential
00:01:38.300 pipeline to BC. Not a guarantee. This was the exchange Polyev had with Mark Carney yesterday
00:01:45.180 in question period. Speaking of Canadian interests, this prime minister opposed the pipeline from
00:01:52.160 Alberta to the Pacific, just like his liberal predecessor blocked that same pipeline. On Thursday,
00:01:59.420 he'll make one of his grand announcements waving around a meaningless so-called memorandum of
00:02:04.920 understanding. If it's anything other than a public relations ploy, why won't he say,
00:02:10.480 on what date will construction begin on a pipeline from Alberta to the Pacific?
00:02:22.620 Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, sometimes the question reveals everything.
00:02:28.300 The memorandum of understanding that we're negotiating with Alberta creates necessary
00:02:35.660 conditions, but not sufficient conditions because we believe in cooperative federalism. We believe the
00:02:41.860 government of British Columbia has to agree. We believe that First Nations right holders in this
00:02:47.660 country have to agree and support all stakeholders have to agree. That's one, Carney.
00:02:52.880 Carney says this so-called memorandum of understanding with Danielle Smith and the Alberta government,
00:03:01.900 whatever the hell that is, provides necessary conditions, but not sufficient conditions to
00:03:08.380 build a pipeline, which is just government doublespeak. It means nothing. What it means is
00:03:13.320 there's no commitment from Mark Carney for a pipeline. There's no commitment from the Liberal Party for a
00:03:18.720 pipeline. There's no commitment from the government of Canada for a pipeline. And it has me asking the
00:03:23.520 question again, why are we begging of these people for our prosperity here in Alberta? We could have
00:03:29.300 that on our own. And it provides the Liberals an opportunity to use their vetoes, which are David Eby
00:03:34.940 and the people he drags out in front of the cameras. Here they are. He drags the costume people out in front
00:03:42.000 of the cameras and the microphones to say they don't want a pipeline at all. He's going to announce tomorrow
00:03:46.480 then. You get our blessing, Danielle. We're allowing you, Alberta, who's rich in natural resources to get 1.00
00:03:53.120 your stuff out of the ground. You go talk to David Eby and his, and these people who don't want a
00:03:57.420 pipeline. Your job to do that, which does absolutely nothing. So I get up this morning and I think I'm
00:04:02.600 going to do a video on this, this story I showed you earlier from the National Post and the Calgary Sun.
00:04:07.920 I'm going to do it without saying a word and I'm going to use clips. And here they are right here.
00:04:11.860 It takes me time to get stuff together in the morning. It takes me, took me an hour and a half to go
00:04:15.640 through all these video clips to find the little bits and pieces I wanted to use for my video
00:04:19.720 today. Some people are really lazy. Some people on YouTube, they introduce a video and they run
00:04:25.800 30 minutes of CTV and they collect a check at the end of the month. I don't do that. I actually work
00:04:31.280 here for this stuff. I'm not a lazy person. It takes me time to do these things in the morning.
00:04:35.440 So what I'm doing right now is something I don't normally do. I'm going to play you some extended
00:04:39.340 video from CPAC and yesterday's question period. Not a long section here. And I'm going to cut out all
00:04:45.600 the yelling and screaming just to shorten it up. I'm not taking out any context here.
00:04:49.820 I don't normally do this, but this was good. And, and Polyev was great on this and watch Carney when
00:04:54.760 he's sitting in behind his house leader, they're cowering as Polyev calls him out over and over
00:05:00.840 and over again on this issue. And he gets no commitment from Carney on the pipeline.
00:05:06.620 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:05:11.060 Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister apparently hasn't read our constitution, which indicates that the
00:05:16.620 federal government alone has jurisdiction over pipelines that cross borders. Let me quote 92.10.
00:05:23.580 Federal jurisdiction applies to works and undertakings that connect one province to another
00:05:27.580 or extend beyond provincial limits. In other words, it is exclusively the federal government's
00:05:33.420 decision on whether to approve, to approve a pipeline. It was this federal government
00:05:37.680 that blocked the last pipeline. So can he confirm once and for all, is he deciding unilaterally
00:05:44.140 to give veto to NDP BC Premier to block a project that Canada needs?
00:05:49.580 Mr. Speaker, last week we talked about that big, long, giant pipeline of hot air that animated
00:06:02.880 the country for 10 years during the government of which that member was a member. Not a single
00:06:10.700 milliliter of oil reached Tidewater under the Harper era. In a Liberal government, oil export
00:06:19.560 has increased. Oil exports have increased. Oil exports to Tidewater, thanks to the purchase
00:06:24.600 of the Trans Mountain Pipeline, have increased. Canada is a conventional and a renewable energy
00:06:30.280 superpower, and that will continue. 0.63
00:06:32.040 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:06:34.820 Mr. Speaker, it really is embarrassing that a Prime Minister who claimed that he was the man
00:06:41.240 with the plan cannot even stand up and debate me about pipelines on the floor of the House of
00:06:46.280 Commons. The previous Conservative government approved a pipeline to Tidewater, the Northern
00:06:57.720 Gateway pipeline which the Liberals then defeated and destroyed, giving massive power to the Americans 1.00
00:07:03.160 to monopolize our oil. Will the Prime Minister, who promised to act with unimaginable speed eight
00:07:09.160 months ago, finally stand up for Canadian workers and confirm that he will approve a pipe to the
00:07:14.520 Pipe to the House?
00:07:16.200 Mr. Speaker, our government fully understands the ultimate jurisdiction for interprovincial pipelines
00:07:26.840 rests with the federal government. At the same time, our government has been clear that a proponent
00:07:33.080 for a major project for it to be designated. We expect it to work with the impacted jurisdictions
00:07:39.880 and with First Nations. They don't understand that. The Premier of Alberta understands that.
00:07:46.760 They want to work with us.
00:07:50.440 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:07:52.680 Mr. Speaker, it really is pathetic that the Prime Minister cannot stand in his place
00:07:58.600 and defend his position. He is afraid to defend the fact that on Thursday he will not sign on to a new
00:08:06.760 pipeline. He will sign on to a public relations stunt while planning to hide behind the Premier of BC
00:08:15.400 and abdicating his unique constitutional responsibilities. If he wanted a pipeline, if he
00:08:21.720 no longer believed in the keep it in the ground extremist ideology that he supported for 10 years,
00:08:26.840 then he would stand up today and say that he will approve a pipe to the Pacific.
00:08:31.400 The Honourable Minister of
00:08:46.040 Excuse me, we haven't given the green light yet to answer the question. I'm waiting for it to get a little quieter.
00:08:51.480 The Honourable Minister of Natural Resources.
00:09:00.040 Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition doesn't seem to understand how to get a pipeline built.
00:09:04.760 The Premier of Alberta does. It's working with this government to build Canada strong, Mr. Speaker.
00:09:10.040 Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition.
00:09:15.560 Mr. Speaker, the question was for the Prime Minister. He's here in Ottawa today. He has the ability to stand up and
00:09:22.280 state his position. He claimed that he was going to act with unimaginable speed. Here we are, eight months later,
00:09:31.560 and he refuses to state whether he even supports a new oil pipeline or whether he'd like to continue to
00:09:39.960 pump that oil at discounts to the United States of America while Canadians pay the price. What does it
00:09:46.520 take to get a pipeline approved by this Prime Minister? Does it have to be a Brookfield pipeline?
00:09:50.840 Mr. Speaker, natural resources projects, interprovincial resource projects, there are
00:10:06.360 indeed a great deal of those. The federal government has a unique role and must ensure that our obligations
00:10:13.800 to First Nations, our obligations to other provinces, to communities, to consulting are present,
00:10:21.800 and those conditions are met, and then we are able to proceed. The Leader of the Opposition,
00:10:27.880 now that he's standing right there, may want to stand up and say what part of that process would
00:10:33.800 he not respect, Mr. Speaker. Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:10:39.320 I don't respect the idea of standing in the way of Canadian energy workers and giving our oil to the
00:10:47.000 Americans at a discount. What we would do is get the government out of the way and get the project built. 0.98
00:10:52.920 The Prime Minister has the unique constitutional opportunity to do that. Section 9210 of the B&A Act
00:11:00.600 makes it exclusively a federal decision. This Prime Minister is hiding under his desk rather than answering
00:11:07.880 the question. Eight months after promising that he would take unprecedented action with unimaginable
00:11:14.200 speed, he's done nothing. Why doesn't he get out of the way?
00:11:16.760 The Honourable Government of the House of the Year.
00:11:20.840 This is nonsense. We have dozens of major projects in play and understudy, and we are building the country
00:11:28.200 at unimaginable speed. We are creating opportunities for energy workers, for young people, for housing,
00:11:35.000 for steel, lumber, aluminum, and autos in this country. That is what we are doing. What is shocking
00:11:41.480 is that the Leader of the Opposition stands in his place and somehow pretends, in his whole fake way,
00:11:47.400 that he's going to override and steamroll the rights of Canadians that have a right to have a say
00:11:53.320 in these projects. We are going to give them a say. We won't.
00:12:05.000 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:12:07.160 While the Prime Minister hides under his desk, he puts up his House Leader to rant and rave and pump his
00:12:13.720 fists in the air. This Prime Minister said that we faced an existential crisis requiring that we act
00:12:22.600 with unimaginable speed. Here we are, eight months later, and he doesn't even have the courage to tell
00:12:31.720 Canadians whether he supports a pipeline that would allow us to go around the American monopoly of our
00:12:37.960 energy and get our product to the world. So will he finally stand up for workers, stand up in this House,
00:12:44.520 and answer the question, a pipeline or a pipe dream?
00:12:56.280 Mr. Speaker, speaking of ranting and raving, I asked the Leader of the Opposition yesterday.
00:13:03.880 Two insignificant things were said by members of his caucus last week. Number one, the member for
00:13:10.360 Calgary, Midnapore, suggested the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister was disloyal to Canada. Secondly,
00:13:17.800 the member for Northern Rockies repeated MAGA claims that immigrants, immigrants were the cause of
00:13:25.080 economic slowdown in Canada. He should stand in his place right now and apologize for those comments,
00:13:31.720 take those members to pass, and do something for them!
00:13:42.760 I can't imagine what we have in store for Wednesday. The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:13:51.400 Mr. Speaker, does that ask the question, the loyalty of the Prime Minister? He's the one,
00:13:55.720 he's the one that is blocking a pipeline that would allow Canada to become energy independent,
00:14:00.680 to release to reach markets outside of Canada, while he and his company invest in pipelines in
00:14:07.000 the Middle East and in Latin America. He's the one that forces Canadians to spend more on taxes than on 0.61
00:14:14.120 food, clothing and shelter combined, while he stashes his cash in a Bermuda tax haven above a bicycle
00:14:21.000 shop. So if he wants to say that he's Canada first, why doesn't he stand up in this House and start acting like it?
00:14:26.840 Thank you, Pierre Polyev, for a masterful job yesterday in Question Period. I appreciate it very much.
00:14:36.440 Pierre Polyev, MP, Battle River Crowfoot, Albertan from Calgary. I appreciate you speaking up on behalf
00:14:44.040 of Alberta and Albertans. And I think that Pierre Polyev is as skeptical of this so-called memorandum of
00:14:51.320 understanding as I am. And I don't think he thinks there's going to be a pipeline until the government
00:14:58.200 commits. And the only way the government is going to commit to this is if the conservatives become
00:15:02.600 the government. The other thing you need to understand about what's going to happen tomorrow is this.
00:15:10.520 The only way this pipeline will go to the West Coast is if Danielle Smith agrees to putting a 1.00
00:15:15.640 giant pipe into the ground to collect carbon dioxide. It's called the Pathways Project. And what's been glossed
00:15:21.160 over about this project, and Danielle Smith has talked about this herself, is this is 10 to 20 billion
00:15:28.840 dollars in wasted money. But the Pathways Project is an expensive project. It would cost anywhere from 10
00:15:35.960 to 20 billion dollars to get built. And to make the economic case for that, having more egress with more
00:15:41.960 barrels to be sold to Asia is the way to pay for it. If we had a million barrel a day pipeline going
00:15:46.840 to the northwest BC coast, that would generate about 20 billion a year in revenues. 10 to 20 billion
00:15:53.720 dollars to bury carbon dioxide in the ground in order for us to get a pipeline to the west coast,
00:16:00.360 which accomplishes absolutely nothing. This is lost revenue. And nobody talks about it like that.
00:16:06.120 Oh, we're just going to spend 10 to 20 billion dollars to bury carbon dioxide, which is quite dangerous,
00:16:10.440 by the way. And the other thing is this. I mean, the government of Canada owes Alberta hundreds of
00:16:15.720 billions of dollars in lost revenue over the last 10 years for pipelines that weren't built.
00:16:20.920 And one pipeline will not be enough, even if he says we'll get it. But I don't think we'll ever see
00:16:27.240 a shovel in the ground. Thank you very much for watching. I do appreciate it. If you like the video,
00:16:32.200 please give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications. I will see you
00:16:37.320 in the next one.
