00:00:43.760 happening now on the alberta roundup okay guys up first federal conservative leader pierre polyev says

00:00:49.840 he backs alberta premier danielle smith's concerns about ottawa's anti-oil and gas agenda the federal

00:00:56.240 leader was in calgary on thursday he said the federal government's plan would make canada

00:01:01.120 dependent on foreign polluting dictatorships and allow russian president vladimir putin to continue

00:01:06.960 to dominate the european energy market also on thursday alberta premier danielle smith wrote to

00:01:11.840 the prime minister asking to follow up on their february 7th meeting in which she asked him to

00:01:16.800 halt federal government plans on just transition legislation she also wants him to toss away new 0.96

00:01:21.760 regulations introduced under the federal emissions reductions plan such as the clean electricity

00:01:26.480 regulations and the oil and gas sector emissions cap on our previous shows we've discussed how smith

00:01:31.520 has asked trudeau to instead partner with alberta on collaborative projects so they can both agree on

00:01:37.440 that includes intracting investment to alberta's conventional and non-conventional energy sector

00:01:42.080 he proposed that both governments work on a coordinated approach to a carbon capture

00:01:46.000 utilization storage program or ccus for the purpose of net reductions emissions in alberta

00:01:52.320 the premier wrote quote to this end we propose coordinating a federal ccus income tax credit with

00:01:58.800 an expansion of our current alberta petrochemicals incentive program to include ccus projects this new

00:02:05.360 incentive program would be in addition to the over 1.8 billion dollars already invested into ccus projects

00:02:11.840 across the province by the government of alberta as well as our province's additional implicit

00:02:17.760 contribution to ccus made through our current royalty regime she also wants both governments to 0.98

00:02:24.000 further discuss expanding this type of program to other emerging reducing emissions technology she wrote

00:02:29.920 quote to this end i request that we immediately create a federal provincial minister-led working

00:02:35.280 group with the objective of reaching agreement on a coordinated provincial federal ccus incentive

00:02:40.240 program in the coming weeks a 12-week partnership between albertus sheriffs and the calgary police

00:02:44.960 will begin at the end of the month to help deter crime and stop social disorder the government of

00:02:49.840 alberta says the increase of 12 sheriffs in calgary will help increase police presence while allowing

00:02:55.360 the calgary police to focus their presence on inner city neighborhoods alberta minister of public

00:02:59.760 safety mike ellis says albertans deserve to feel safe in their homes communities and places of work

00:03:04.960 he said quote this initiative increases public safety by putting more eyes and ears in

00:03:09.600 neighborhoods where they're needed and creates a more visible officer presence that will help deter

00:03:14.320 crime while connecting vulnerable alberns to the supports they need conservative leader pierre

00:03:18.880 palya was actually asked about this new program while he was in calgary his hometown and he repeated

00:03:24.000 his catchphrase you might have heard him say it before he says everything in canada feels broken

00:03:28.880 here's what that sounded like everything feels broken in canada today communities are coming apart

00:03:34.400 this is a problem from coast to coast so we can't blame a local police force municipal government or

00:03:42.720 even province it's just as bad if not worse in vancouver montreal and toronto obviously the problem

00:03:51.200 is national in nature and it has happened after eight years of justin trudeau why is it happening one

00:03:59.440 people are falling into poverty you got a fifth of people are cutting their uh groceries they're

00:04:06.960 cutting their meals because they can't afford to eat and so then they're ending uh desperate and on

00:04:11.440 the streets and addicted to drugs and that's because of the inflationary policies trudeau's implemented

00:04:16.880 that have driven up the cost of everything two he's implemented a catch and release policy that allow

00:04:23.120 the most prolific repeat violent offenders to go back on the street again and again and again

00:04:28.480 at the end of his comments there he also added a number three and that was safe supply programs

00:04:32.880 but i cut that short because he went a little bit long we're going to move on to our next story here

00:04:37.040 amid ongoing efforts to address the homelessness and addictions crisis plaguing alberta and honestly

00:04:42.480 all of canada the alberta government has committed more than four million dollars to overdoses in calgary

00:04:47.840 the funds will flow to the calgary drop-in center to create dynamic overdose response teams and

00:04:53.200 establish 35 medical detox and pre-treatment beds those are capable of treating 1 000 calgarians per

00:04:59.440 year calgary drop-in center executive director sandra clarkson said the beds will be life-saving

00:05:04.640 and life-changing for countless people in the years to come all publicly funded detox beds and

00:05:09.840 spaces are completely free for albertans you guys know that the government of alberta has been doing a

00:05:14.480 lot of work on the addictions and homelessness crisis i've covered it extensively a little bit in this

00:05:18.960 podcast and a lot in my writing so this is the latest update on those efforts okay guys and i

00:05:24.160 just wanted to give you a friendly reminder that my documentary the freedom occupation aired for the

00:05:28.720 first time on thursday night thank you so much to those of you who tuned in for the live show i really

00:05:33.920 appreciate the support and that you all took the time to watch it for those of you who haven't had

00:05:37.760 a chance to see it yet you can view it at freedom occupation dot ca and while we're on the topic i

00:05:43.120 of course have to mention that the prime minister was found on friday that he was justified in invoking

00:05:47.760 the federal emergencies act for the first time in canadian history to deal with freedom convoy

00:05:52.240 protesters we talk about the invocation of the emergencies act in the documentary how it will

00:05:56.800 impact the prime minister and how the freedom convoy will be remembered we're going to play a little

00:06:00.960 clip of the doc for you right now yeah how did i feel driving home to be honest um at that time you're

00:06:09.920 tired you're you want to go home you didn't feel like the job was done um yes we did accomplish

00:06:18.880 something we we woke up the world for first of all and it actually still was giving people hope

00:06:26.720 that something would change that things would get better but then the the reception that we got in

00:06:33.600 niagara was unbelievable

00:06:40.320 yeah the support that we got from the community meant an awful lot

00:06:43.760 and having all these people on the side of the road standing there wave wave waving the flags again

00:06:58.400 saying thank you for doing what you did gave me a little bit of closure but you're still

00:07:03.760 you still wish that things would have gone different yeah i do feel like the convoy accomplished

00:07:11.680 actually more than what we set out for obviously the mandates the federal mandates are still there

00:07:18.800 but the community at least here in niagara region is super unified the support is amazing

00:07:27.600 um i believe the mandates were there to try to disunify our country and keep people apart

00:07:34.960 and it's done exact opposite with the convoy so question of the week for you guys do you think

00:07:40.320 the prime minister was justified in invoking the federal emergencies act do you think there was a

00:07:45.280 real threat of danger that the protesters posed please comment on the video below and i'll read

00:07:50.400 through your comments next week okay now that brings me to my weekly comment roundup let's take

00:07:55.360 a look at what you guys had to say under last week's show we talked a little bit about the ucp and

00:07:59.680 ndp polling numbers user jim stott says for the life of me i really don't understand how danielle

00:08:04.720 smith is not much much further ahead of the ndp than she is don't understand at all that calgarians

00:08:11.040 and edmontonians don't realize the gem of a leader they have with premier danielle smith

00:08:16.080 she has become the envy of many canadians living in other provinces and even people living in other 0.84

00:08:20.720 countries who have come to know her via some of her online interviews danielle as a politician is a

00:08:26.000 much needed breath of fresh air and she's earned her place as a leader of alberta i really hope she

00:08:30.800 goes far wake up alberta commenting on the super awkward handshake between danielle and the prime 0.59

00:08:36.080 minister oscar guerrero says decorum says that a man only offers a hand when the woman offers it first

00:08:42.320 justin doesn't understand decorum or woman it's awkward because he needed to wait to see how a

00:08:47.280 woman offers a hand he tried a power play and failed i actually forgot about that rule of decorum

00:08:52.640 and i wish i hadn't i think it's time to bring back more decorum in canadian society

00:08:56.560 such as just basic manners but from now on you can only offer to shake a woman's hand if you're a man

00:09:01.840 if she offers it first lastly user keith miller said i like your reporting but these misleading

00:09:07.120 clickbait titles are annoying and undercut your journalism keith i appreciate your feedback and i

00:09:12.000 like that you enjoy the reporting my response would be to say i don't think that the title was

00:09:16.000 misleading i think it was just a funny take on a silly incident that happened i would also say that

00:09:20.400 video podcast isn't a super serious or traditional style of reporting obviously i do my best to bring you

00:09:26.320 guys the accurate facts so i think i do a pretty good job of that but i think podcasting as a

00:09:30.320 medium allows you to just have a little more fun with things this isn't a traditional broadcasting

00:09:34.400 medium so i think i can be a little bit more casual it might surprise some of you to learn that i'm

00:09:38.160 actually sitting on the floor right now in my little podcasting corner but i have had a couple of these

00:09:42.400 complaints i think a couple weeks ago someone complained that i used the phrase you guys too much

00:09:46.960 again i think this is just a more casual style of communication and it's one that i really enjoy

00:09:51.440 so keith i hope my clickbaity headlines don't turn you off from my journalism i do appreciate

00:09:56.080 the feedback but i don't think they're going anywhere okay guys that's all i have for you

00:09:59.600 today thank you so much for tuning into this week's episode of the alberta roundup as always if you're
