00:00:00.720 Since the referendum on October 19th, a lot of people in Canada are telling people like me who want an independent Alberta,
00:00:09.400 if you don't like the country, why don't you just leave?
00:00:13.320 I have left Canada. I am Albertan.
00:00:17.600 What I want is for Canada to leave us the hell alone.
00:00:30.000 They sat in the snow, stood in the mud, endured the cold, waved our flags, put up signs and
00:00:51.760 spoke of a stronger, more prosperous, free and independent country named Alberta.
00:00:58.600 from the people and politicians that hold our province back they realized the possibilities of
00:01:05.720 what could be then came the politicians who said we needed to stay in canada for our prosperity
00:01:16.120 that canada wanted us that alberta could only thrive if we stayed they all said it they all
00:01:23.240 read from the same playbook. They all said Canada was listening. Well, as you know, there's two
00:01:29.120 options on the ballot. Option one is remain. That's the option I'm voting for. And I've been
00:01:32.920 doing as many speeches and public appearances and coffee parties as I can to convince more and more
00:01:38.580 Albertans to do the same. But the approach that I've seen the government of Canada take is one
00:01:42.140 where they genuinely want to identify problems and genuinely solve them. And I think that that's the
00:01:46.900 that's going to demonstrate that Canada can work. So our real goal should not be separation. It
00:01:52.560 It should be restoration.
00:01:53.840 It should not be to tear down our country, but to build it up.
00:01:56.880 But to do that, we must stay and fight for our country.
00:02:01.000 This year, Thanksgiving is a bit different.
00:02:03.880 A week from today, Albertans will have the opportunity to make an important decision
00:02:09.120 about their future.
00:02:10.740 We have to be strong.
00:02:12.240 And we are stronger together.
00:02:15.360 Generations of Albertans help build this country.
00:02:18.940 yours. It's ours. And it's worth fighting for. We know the majority of Albertans believe in
00:02:25.680 Canada and want to stay a part of this country. So it's critical that you get out to vote on
00:02:30.620 October 19th. Leaving the country would harm Albertans. And that's the last thing that we
00:02:35.320 need while we work to build more affordable and safer communities. And we are going to win this
00:02:41.420 fight together. Are you ready to save Canada? Are you ready to do what it takes to save Canada?
00:02:48.940 You want to show that Canada works and Alberta wants to stay in Canada, show it through leadership, collaborate with federal governments, sign more of these memorandums, get agreements on pipelines, you know, lower the carbon tax.
00:03:00.760 Those are great moves that are showing Albertans that Canada works.
00:03:03.900 We've won the battle of public opinion in the rest of Canada about the need for increased oil and gas production and pipelines.
00:03:10.940 Super majorities in every province, including British Columbia and Quebec, support pipelines, LNG, and increased energy production.
00:03:19.900 Within two weeks of the referendum, a glimmer of hope for Alberta,
00:03:24.420 and a chance for all politicians from all parties to back up those lofty words with proof that Canada was listening.
00:03:32.180 Strathcona Resources, a Canadian oil and gas producer,
00:03:35.400 wants to export 250,000 barrels a day of crude oil from Prince Rupert.
00:03:41.180 Strathcona will ship by rail existing in place today.
00:03:45.280 It just needs this Liberal government to get out of the way
00:03:47.940 and remove the West Coast tanker ban.
00:03:50.180 The project could open access to overseas markets in under two years
00:03:55.740 without requiring government subsidies.
00:03:58.760 But, the project faces a significant obstacle with the Liberal tanker ban still in place.
00:04:07.760 And what did Alberta get from Canada after those lofty words?
00:04:12.760 We got the same thing we've always gotten from the East.
00:04:15.760 From the politicians. From Ottawa. Their boot on our neck.
00:04:21.760 Mr. Carney, Mr. Carney, Mr. Ananda Sangary, Mr. Cedar Bramptonese, Mr. Cedar Bramptonese, Mr. Cedar Bramptonese.
00:04:40.760 Nothing has changed. Everything remains the same. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
00:04:48.760 Canada the mediocre, Canada the broken, Canada in managed decline, and then there's this. 0.76
00:04:58.940 More First Nations blocking Alberta, blocking Alberta's prosperity, blocking hard-working 0.98
00:05:05.280 Albertans, blocking our future. 1.00
00:05:09.380 The Statlium Chiefs Council representing 11 communities is among several First Nations
00:05:14.840 challenging Ottawa's decision in federal court.
00:05:18.000 The nations say Canada breached its constitutional duty to consult them by designating the pipeline as a project of national interest under the Building Canada Act.
00:05:27.880 Other First Nations are arguing the consultation process was inadequate and provided little information about the proposed pipeline route.
00:05:36.800 It's foolhardy for the government to try to push through project at breakneck speed without proper assessment and consultation.
00:05:44.560 And the architects of Canada and Alberta's destruction?
00:05:48.000 The Liberals? They march along unchallenged by a weak opposition, a weak leader, supported by weak citizens who march along like lemmings with their elbows up and their belief in a Canada that no longer exists.
00:06:03.960 And finally, to the 75% of this province that voted to hold Alberta back, that voted for the status quo, well, you got it. Shame on you.
