let's talk a little bit about your own uh legal issues at the moment you're dealing with the
00:00:05.360
native indian band in alberta i guess you had a fee arrangement with them there's a dispute over
00:00:12.080
that and i suppose in a way it's kind of a distraction from your campaign to bring about
00:00:17.760
independence for albert i guess what everybody needs to understand i'm not the independence
00:00:22.080
movement right the logic of alberta independence and the fact that we send 70 billion dollars a
00:00:27.840
year to ottawa you know to get less than uh 20 billion dollars a year back uh you know the logic
00:00:34.000
of uh of independence you know isn't uh destroyed uh by oh jeff rassett a fee dispute with a you
00:00:41.040
know with a former client i mean you know all of this i the timing of it is very intentional i think
00:00:46.240
that uh uh you know the fact that you know you got guys like jason kenny gleefully um you know uh
00:00:52.080
having fun at my expense i mean all i'd say to jason is that all of my all of my finances are
00:00:57.200
completely transparent you know what about you right like i mean at the end of the day it is
00:01:03.040
what it is it's before the courts uh you know we're dealing with it in a forthright uh you know
00:01:07.760
manner you know we're going to work our way through it but as far as i consider it has
00:01:11.200
little or nothing to do with the logic of alberta independence and the need for uh you know alberta
00:01:16.240
to free itself from control by mark carney i mean mark carney i don't think he's a prime minister
00:01:21.760
of canada i think he's the undertaker of canada and he's literally destroying this country and
00:01:26.400
he's burying us and and for you know for the for the for purposes of turning the entire country
00:01:31.920
you know over to you know over to europe and china like mark carney's not a canadian he doesn't like
00:01:37.360
us you know he wants to be in europe you know eating you know fifteen hundred dollar a plate
00:01:41.760
shadow brian you know like we see on his airplane bills right mike mark carney's not a canadian
00:01:47.520
he doesn't have our values you know it's you know and he's literally you know killing our country
00:01:52.880
and he's doing it for a reason and that's so all of his you know all of his vulture capitalist
00:01:56.640
friends can come up and gobble up you know large chunks of the most valuable pieces of canada for
00:02:01.280
pennies on the dollar now do you think that this native band that you have a dispute with is being
00:02:07.360
egged on by people who oppose the independence movement and well you know what i'm not i'm not
00:02:13.520
gonna i'm not gonna comment on that all these matters are before the court i mean the the big
00:02:18.080
thing is and i posted that on x i mean the the first nation that's coming after me right now
00:02:23.280
they've been fighting for years to get money out of the trust into the hands of chief and council
00:02:27.600
right so they're trying to you know they're basically trying to say that i'm not owed anything
00:02:31.360
for fees so that all of that money can go to the chief and council not to you know not to the doctor
00:02:36.800
