00:02:08.720They continue to grow faster than the rate of inflation.
00:02:12.440There's more to be done without question,
00:02:14.360but they're moving in the right direction.
00:02:15.500So you have these cross-currents as the economy is being fundamentally transformed.
00:02:20.880We're going to continue to work. We're making progress, but there's more to be done.
00:02:24.080Last week, Statistics Canada reported the country slipped into recession.
00:02:29.440That's two straight quarters of shrinking GDP.
00:02:33.720Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev says the latest reference to Canada as the 51st state is ridiculous.
00:02:40.820U.S. President Trump posted the words 51st state in reference to Canada slipping into recession.
00:02:48.760The prime minister once again is failing the Canadian people by refusing to tell them the truth that he caused a recession.
00:02:56.840It's the only recession in the G7, the only recession in North America, and he needs to rapidly reverse the liberal policies that caused that recession.
00:03:04.540The news of a recession has Donald Trump once again saying you're the 51st state.
00:03:08.740What is your comment to Donald Trump using the recession to now once again joke, I guess, about Canada being the 51st state?0.86
00:03:15.640It's ridiculous, and it's never going to happen.0.79
00:03:18.080And we have to make sure that we don't allow ridiculous comments like that to distract us from the very real suffering that Canadians are experiencing as a result of liberal policies here at home.0.92
00:14:59.920And a lot of it is coming from the very people that elected her leader the first time, right?
00:15:03.700Oil and gas executives, people in the oil and gas industry that are furious with her for signing that disastrous carbon tax MOU with Mark Carney without understanding what the true costs of, you know, costs of that deal was and what those, you know, what those costs, you know, how much Danielle has added to the cost of production of a barrel of oil in Alberta.
00:15:26.680I mean, you know, a lot of us, you know, think she has to go because she's an avowed federalist
00:15:32.020and she's lied to us one too many times, but a lot of people in the oil and gas industry0.98
00:15:36.620think that she needs to go because she's incompetent.0.95
00:15:39.860You know, like she's her deputy minister of energy is a former executive director of Ducks1.00
00:17:28.240That's why we voted for you as leader.
00:17:30.400If we knew you were a Federalist, we never would have made you leader, right?
00:17:34.240Because keep in mind, she courted the separatist vote, the independence vote to become leader, right?
00:17:39.620Cam Davies, the leader of the Republican Party, was on her campaign team.
00:17:44.400David Parker of Take Back Alberta fame was on her campaign team.
00:17:49.020You know, a woman by the name of Jenny Walker, who was the organizer for the Wexit party, right, was Danielle's road manager for her leadership election campaign.
00:18:01.660And Jenny Walker sold the Wexit list to Danielle's campaign, right?
00:18:07.900That's how sleazy and incestuous this is, but sold the Wexit list to Danielle's leadership campaign.
00:18:12.300and they were selling UCP memberships to the Wexit list, just promising them that if they0.63
00:18:19.180elected Danielle leader, she would lead us to independence. So she gets elected as a pro-independence
00:18:26.060leader. She, you know, throughout her leadership campaign, it was, you know, I'm going to pass a
00:18:30.880bill, you know, the Sovereign Alberta Act, right? Or so, you know, Alberta Sovereignty Act, right?
00:18:35.920Then she gets elected and it immediately morphs into, you know, the Alberta Sovereignty within
00:18:40.760the United Canada Act, right? It was a complete bait and switch. And I can tell you that the
00:18:46.420people that voted her in as leader, if they knew that she was going to be running around
00:18:52.440saying, I'm a federalist and I believe in a strong Alberta within a United Canada,
00:18:56.820they never would have made her leader. Todd Lowen would be premier today.
00:19:01.660Well, now that they do know, what happens now?
00:19:05.620Well, major buyer's remorse is setting in. And of course, you know, there's kind of,
00:19:09.880and I wouldn't call it a split. I mean, there's a lot of people say, well,
00:19:12.620we got to focus on winning the stupid question to have a, have a, you know,0.99
00:19:16.040the referendum to have a referendum. I agree with that, but you know,0.99
00:19:20.000what guys like Mitch and myself and others are saying is, Hey guys,1.00
00:19:22.880we can all walk and chew bubble gum at the same time so we can win the stupid0.98
00:19:26.980referendum to have a referendum question while replacing Danielle as leader.0.94
00:19:31.580And the good news is if we can have a special general meeting before August,
00:19:35.340right. And get an interim leader in the interim leader can cancel that entire
00:19:39.380referendum and all of our other dumb questions about, I'm going to ask Albertans whether0.87
00:19:43.520I should do my job, right, those dumb questions, and have one single question that we all want,
00:19:50.280which is, do you agree that Alberta shall cease to be part of Canada to become an independent0.80
