00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Just sitting down in my basement with the big blue
00:00:04.400 mug of coffee, sitting in my big blue chair here, just reading over an article that I read a couple
00:00:09.560 of days ago that you may have seen. The headline, Canadians would be paying additional $1,000 a
00:00:16.220 year if it weren't for Alberta's contribution report. This story ran all over the country.
00:00:21.800 You know, that means if you're a two-income family, you are saving $2,000 this year because
00:00:27.940 of alberta over the last 20 years alberta has put 321.9 billion dollars into the canadian economy
00:00:37.380 that's four times as much as british columbia and six times as much as the economic engine of canada
00:00:44.180 ontario as a matter of fact over the last 40 to 50 years what was the number six is it 600 billion
00:00:52.260 dollars? We have been watching this for years. Six hundred billion dollars in the last 40 or 50
00:00:58.720 years. Yeah, six hundred billion dollars. And by the way, the other seven provinces that I didn't
00:01:06.660 mention all get money from Alberta. Most of the money, by the way, goes to Quebec. But what do
00:01:12.140 we hear from Canadians? Do we hear, thank you, Alberta, for contributing so much? Thank you,
00:01:18.100 Albertans for working so hard and contributing so much and expecting so little, although we expect
00:01:23.480 a lot and don't get very much. No, that's not what we hear at all. We hear that we're treasonous for
00:01:29.300 wanting independence. We're hearing that we're traitors because we want better for our province,
00:01:34.640 for the people who live here, and our children and grandchildren. As a matter of fact, Premier
00:01:39.080 Daniel Smith has been called a traitor and treasonous by chiefs for having the audacity
00:01:44.980 for allowing us to have a vote on independence later this year in our province. You know what
00:01:50.340 you should be doing, those of you who are saving $1,000 a year because of Alberta contributing so
00:01:56.100 much? You know what you should be doing? You should be saying, thank you.
