Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 714 a.m. Friday, August the 8th with the Big Blue
00:00:10.100
Mug of Coffee. I hope you're having a great day today. Looking forward to the weekend,
00:00:13.840
no doubt. I appreciate you being here. If you are a subscriber to this channel, thanks so much.
00:00:18.640
If you're not, please click on subscribe. Thank you. I spent the last several hours thinking
00:00:26.880
about Pierre Polyev and his news conference yesterday on the Canadian Sovereignty Act.
00:00:32.680
I have to say Pierre Polyev was excellent. Very strong. I did a video on this, which I'll put a
00:00:38.700
card at the end. You can watch it. How weak Kearney is, how strong Polyev. Just terrific. He was great
00:00:44.220
yesterday. It was very refreshing to see him speaking, and I felt this at times, speaking like
00:00:50.880
an Albertan. I know he's from here, but he's been living in Ottawa. And that stink eventually gets
00:00:57.400
on you if you live in that area. And the stink is now dissipating. He sounded like an Albertan
00:01:04.440
yesterday. It was very refreshing. But I thought he was very strong. But I thought about it,
00:01:11.480
particularly this morning, and I'm more convinced than ever that Canada is dead, that Canada is a
00:01:17.200
lost cause, that Alberta needs to leave. I know it's very strange, but it just got me thinking
00:01:22.720
about how much division there is in this country. His Canadian Sovereignty Act, without getting in it
00:01:28.720
too deeply, has basically drawn a line in the sand for Mark Kearney to get things done and giving him
00:01:34.120
a timeline to do it. But it won't get done. You need to think back to the election campaign and what
00:01:44.560
Kearney's been talking about since he became the leader of the Liberal Party.
00:01:49.600
What has been his message? Now, I want you to leave Donald Trump and tariffs out of this. I know
00:01:54.720
that's hard. It's like a black hole where everything gets sucked in. Trump and tariffs. But leave that
00:01:59.600
out of it. What was his message? Think about what he stood behind when he went out to rallies.
00:02:05.560
What did it say? Two words, generally. And I think it's still on their website.
00:02:08.960
Canada strong. What does that mean? It means unity, working together, bringing down barriers
00:02:16.720
between provinces to get things done. Are we more unified now than we were before he became
00:02:25.040
Prime Minister on election night, April the 28th? No. It's worse now than it was before.
00:02:31.520
There's more barriers in the way to getting things done. And I think this is the plan.
00:02:36.160
Bill C-5 was supposed to be the thing that's getting things done. I don't know what they call
00:02:42.800
it. They're getting things done or get things built in Canada bill or something. It's some
00:02:47.200
nonsense. But if you look at really what Bill C-5 has done now, and Kearney has said this many times.
00:02:53.360
He said it during the election campaign and he's said it since. But this is what is in there. And this
00:02:58.160
is what really stood out for me. Before recommending that an order be made under any of the subsections of
00:03:03.760
one, three, and four, the minister must consult with any other federal minister and any provincial
00:03:09.520
or territorial government that the minister considers appropriate and with indigenous peoples
00:03:13.840
whose rights recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act of 1982. So,
00:03:20.800
Kearney merely calls these things the consensus, but he's now thrown in the way of getting things done,
00:03:27.200
these consultations with provinces and consultations with indigenous people. I've called them his outs
00:03:34.160
because he doesn't want to do these things or vetoes. This is the additional barrier that's on top of all
00:03:41.120
the other things that are in the way, which Polly have brought up yesterday. We need to get rid of Bill
00:03:45.680
C-69, the no pipelines law. We need to get rid of Bill C-48, the no tanker ban. We need to get rid of the
00:03:52.800
plastics ban, the EV mandate, the emissions caps. All of these things must go. The demands of Daniel
00:03:59.040
Smith. Nine things, but none of them have been removed. An additional barrier has gotten in the
00:04:04.880
way and that's Bill C-5. And who determines what gets done? It'll come down to Mark Kearney and the
00:04:12.000
Liberal Party. And we know what they want to do, which is not what Alberta wants to do. Everybody can
00:04:19.520
agree we need to get things built, but we can't agree on what needs to get built. What Alberta wants
00:04:26.160
is not what BC wants. It's not what Manitoba wants. It's not what Quebec wants. It's not what Nova Scotia
00:04:34.000
wants. We all have different ideas on what needs to get built. Alberta needs to leave.
00:04:41.360
Yesterday, a reporter asked Polly have about British Columbia. David Eby says there's no
00:04:50.080
there's no investment in a pipeline out there, so why are we even talking about it is basically
00:04:54.480
what he's been saying. Is it Tim Hodgson, who's the energy minister under Kearney, says the same thing.
00:05:00.080
Here's what David Eby says over and over and over again. This is one of the barriers in the way.
00:05:05.520
For the pipeline project that Premier Smith is a great enthusiast of, a heavy oil pipeline project,
00:05:10.560
there is no project, there is no proponent, there is no private sector money involved at all that I'm aware
00:05:19.680
Polly have says, well, it's the old chicken, the egg story, and he's absolutely right.
00:05:26.640
Who is going to invest in our country when all those things I just talked about 69,
00:05:30.240
48, emissions cap, EV. Who's going to invest in our country? Until we get rid of those things,
00:05:35.280
we'll never have investment. So this is a barrier, this in the way. He says David Eby is just a single
00:05:40.320
man. He can't stand in the way of these things. British Columbians want a pipeline. Albertans want
00:05:45.600
a pipeline. Canada wants a pipeline. He can't stand in the way, but it's written into Bill C-5. The
00:05:50.000
province says no. It's just another barrier in the way on top of all those other things. And then
00:05:58.560
there's this. This is an article from yesterday. This is really going to get in the way. And then
00:06:05.520
hold tight. Ontario First Nation asked for a halt to ring a fire mining development.
00:06:14.800
That's the aboriginal part that's been added in with Bill C-5. They're asking now, they eventually
00:06:20.400
demand, then they'll protest, then they'll go to the courts. And nothing will get built.
00:06:25.920
That's what's going to happen. All of these things, why is Carney wanting to do this? Well,
00:06:35.200
it's all wrapped up in climate change. The previous liberal government under
00:06:39.120
Trudeau, that's what it was about. That's what Bill C-69 is about. 48 is about the EV mandate,
00:06:44.640
emissions cap, the plastics ban. It's all about climate change. And those provinces I mentioned,
00:06:50.800
British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, right across the country, they all think the same
00:06:55.760
thing, even though Tim Houston, the premier of Nova Scotia, calls himself a progressive conservative.
00:07:00.400
That's what he's about as well. Now, there's something else that came to mind that I thought
00:07:04.560
about when I was thinking about the Canadian Sovereignty Act. And again, if this were to pass,
00:07:10.880
and we enacted this exactly the way Paulieff said, it would be great, but it won't get done.
00:07:16.400
But there were other things that have been forgotten since the election campaign. Again,
00:07:20.560
that big black hole of Donald Trump and tariffs has sucked everything away. This was an issue
00:07:25.520
for a short time during the election campaign. There's something else that actually popped up
00:07:29.040
here. But let me just show you, this is the liberal website. Now, you have to remember that
00:07:34.880
government hasn't sat much this year, probably less than 20 days. They're not back until
00:07:40.080
around September 15th. They're only going to sit the government, I think, 73 days this whole year.
00:07:44.240
Isn't that disgraceful? Paulieff would have had them sitting all summer to get things done.
00:07:48.800
But there's this, this is the liberal website. And Mark Carney led liberal government will conserve
00:07:56.000
nature and biodiversity, including by creating 10 new national parks and marine conservation areas,
00:08:01.120
and 15 new urban parks. He said he was going to do this. What did people say at the time? Well,
00:08:07.280
I think I did a video at the time where I put national parks all the way around Alberta,
00:08:12.160
right down to the United States border. So you put a national park there,
00:08:15.360
no pipeline is going to go through there. Nobody's ever going to get any natural resources,
00:08:21.200
make a great big giant national park, nothing will ever get done or put through those places
00:08:25.360
because it's a national park. So this is a way of putting something else in the way, another barrier.
00:08:30.640
But there's something else I saw here this morning that I don't remember him talking about. There's
00:08:36.240
this one here. Let's go back to the aboriginals. Enshrine First Nations right to water into law.
00:08:45.360
Boy, there's a barrier for you. Because pretty much anywhere you go in this country, there's a
00:08:51.520
stream, there's a brook, there's a pond, there's a lake, there's a river, there's a puddle
00:08:58.240
that First Nations could use to get in the way of any natural resource project or pipeline that wants
00:09:04.800
to be built in this country. Just another barrier. Let me tell you a quick story.
00:09:09.040
Personal story here. When I lived back in Cornwall, Ontario, I lived near the 401 main highway.
00:09:20.240
And I asked my MPP, the equivalent to an MLA, the provincial leader there and the provincial elected
00:09:32.160
official there. His name was Jim Brownell. I asked him why we didn't have a sound barrier along the
00:09:36.160
highway. And he said, I don't know. Well, we eventually got it okayed and they put in a six
00:09:41.360
million dollar sound barrier along the highway. If you were to look at Google Maps and Street View,
00:09:46.400
you'd see it there. They call it the Bolton barrier in Cornwall. My wife and I did this.
00:09:50.240
Six million dollars. But before they put it in, they held it up for several months because there was
00:09:55.840
a ditch that ran along the highway that about a month a year had some water in it and they had to
00:10:02.000
do an environmental assessment on the puddle. I'm not kidding. This is the kind of thing
00:10:10.320
that will happen if you enshrine First Nations right to water into law. I'm more convinced than
00:10:16.400
ever after watching Pierre Polly of yesterday and talk about his Canadian Sovereignty Act. And again,
00:10:22.240
he was terrific. I'm more convinced than ever that nothing's ever going to get built in this country.
00:10:28.080
And this country is not unifying. It is dividing. It's not Canada strong. It's Canada weak. I want
00:10:36.640
Alberta to be strong and free. Let me know what you think. Give me a thumbs up if you like the video.
