00:00:00.000 Well, Prime Minister Carney's plans for an alliance with the EU is setting off alarm
00:00:10.440 bells among those who see it as a threat to Canadian sovereignty.
00:00:14.860 Let's listen first to what Carney had to say when asked about Canada joining the EU.
00:00:20.420 We're not looking to become a member of the European Union.
00:00:23.480 What we are looking and will begin discussions for a unique alliance with the European Union, between Canada and the European Union.
00:00:32.800 We share the same values, we have the same priorities, and we have very complementary strengths.
00:00:38.960 We're stronger together, and this is at a time where the world's more dangerous and divided, and friends need to stick together at these times.
00:00:46.180 What exactly does he mean by unique alliance?
00:00:48.960 That remains unclear for now. Given Carney's long-standing ties to Europe, however,
00:00:55.180 some Canadians can be forgiven for questioning the man's loyalties.
00:00:59.200 Are the interests of Canada his top priorities, or is he more interested in serving the interests
00:01:05.240 of his rich friends in the EU? It's a fair question to ask, following his decision to
00:01:10.460 walk away from a trade deal with the United States. Is Canada being gift-wrapped as a colony,
00:01:15.540 prized for its oil and mineral wealth while Canadians relinquish control over their own
00:01:22.200 affairs to a handful of bureaucrats in Brussels? Did we shake off the threat of becoming part of
00:01:28.100 the United States only to settle for being a junior partner or worse with the EU? Alberta's
00:01:34.460 independence movement sees the move as both a threat to Canada and a boost for independence.
00:01:39.920 Our guest today is Jeff Rath, who is chief counsel or one of the lawyers, however, for
00:01:44.580 Alberta's independence movement. Welcome Jeff. Thanks for having me on Mark. How do you see this
00:01:50.520 now as a development in terms of what the future of Canada looks like and the future of your own
00:01:56.740 movement which is a sovereign Alberta? Well you can't make this stuff up. I mean you know Mark
00:02:01.980 Carney walked away from a trade deal with the United States because it threatened Canadian
00:02:07.260 sovereignty. Specifically that the Americans were concerned about you know the Chinese dumping
00:02:12.680 goods into the u.s via canada and carney characterized that as a threat to canadian 0.86
00:02:17.320 sovereignty right and now he's saying european values are canadian values so we'll just go join
00:02:23.400 europe and be regulated by bureaucrats from brussels like it's insane i mean keep in mind this
00:02:29.480 is the same guy that said muslim values are canadian values right so you know i guess what's
00:02:34.600 the trade-off i mean we're gonna you know like people in quebec doctors engineers you know
00:02:39.080 nurses um in quebec will be able to go work in uh france without visas well everybody that's
00:02:45.640 outside of the fifth that owned his ma in paris from north africa and the third world can now
00:02:50.680 flood into quebec and canada um you know under this agreement that mark carney's uh you know
00:02:56.440 dragging us into against our will like i mean it's complete insanity to me that this is where
00:03:01.720 we're at and i think it's a real wake-up call for albertans that you know if you don't you know if
00:03:06.360 if you thought the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is bad, you know, wanting, you know,
00:03:10.460 every calf on your farm and every foal and every, you know, every animal born on your farm to have
00:03:15.600 a birth certificate so they know where every animal born in Alberta is, wait until the EU
00:03:21.400 bureaucrats get involved. I mean, do you remember what was going on in Holland, you know, where
00:03:25.320 they're killing all the small farms and the small farmers and destroying the family farms in favor
00:03:29.760 of the big World Economic Forum aligned agricultural interests? I mean, Carney's
00:03:35.600 going to bring that to Canada? Like, don't think for a second that he's not, you know, that this
00:03:39.520 isn't going to happen to Alberta. This should be a wake-up call to every Albertan to make sure that
00:03:44.500 they turn out to vote on October 19th and to vote for a process leading to independence, because
00:03:49.980 it's the only way we're going to protect ourselves from Mr. Carney and him wanting to sell Alberta
00:03:54.440 to Europe. Yeah, it seems to me that that's a major selling point for your movement, which is
00:04:01.600 to say, here's another reason why we can't trust this guy.
00:04:04.640 I mean, you have to wonder if this prime minister
00:04:06.620 had his own agenda that he didn't share with the rest of us
00:04:10.020 or an ulterior motive from the day he was handed
00:04:12.860 the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada
00:04:14.740 who started moving us towards some of the restrictive policies
00:04:21.040 of the EU.
00:04:22.300 I mean, we know what's happening in the UK
00:04:23.960 where so many people have been arrested,
00:04:26.320 jailed, really, for posts on Facebook.
00:04:28.220 So we're seeing more attacks on free speech in Europe, and he seems to be slowly but surely bringing those same types of policies to Canada.
00:04:38.760 Rather than moving towards freedom and openness, you know, he wants to go the other way.
00:04:45.100 Well, of course.
00:04:47.040 And to follow up on your point, I mean, you know, he claimed that he renounced his foreign citizenship when he became Canadian Prime Minister.
00:04:54.460 Where's the proof of that?
00:04:55.440 I mean, we know he had a UK passport from his days as the, you know, as the governor of the Bank of England, right?
00:05:02.460 He has an Irish passport, he claims through birth.
00:05:05.440 And if he has an Irish passport, he's automatically entitled to an EU passport.
00:05:09.920 So, do we have any proof that Mark Carney has actually renounced his European Union passport and he doesn't still have his EU passport in a drawer somewhere?
00:05:18.260 I'm sure he does.
00:05:19.120 but I guess, you know, when he takes one of his multi-million dollar private jet flights to Europe
00:05:23.360 at our expense, lathering himself in luxury butter, you know, I guess he doesn't need his
00:05:28.140 EU passport to get into, you know, get into Europe. But does anybody believe for a second
00:05:32.860 that he's ever relinquished his European citizenship? Of course not. You know, we want
00:05:37.660 to talk about foreign interference in the referendum of Alberta. You know, Mark Carney
00:05:42.100 showed up in Alberta to sign the side of Thomas Lukasik's Fedophile bus, you know, and is out
00:05:48.880 here campaigning against alberta independence there's foreign interference mark carney as far
00:05:53.540 as i'm concerned as a foreigner and he's trying to drag alberta into uh you know into europe you
00:05:59.500 know where he has citizenship and again you know let's not forget what's going on here with this
00:06:04.940 when you know we're not going to be a colony of europe we're not going to be a member state of
00:06:09.520 europe we're going to be a territory of europe like guam is to the united states or puerto rico
00:06:14.220 You know, we're going to have all the obligations of European law, including a rewriting of the Canadian Constitution, because we all know that the European Parliament is supreme, right, over, you know, over national constitutions.
00:06:27.620 So, you know, there's Carney basically shredding the Canadian Constitution and nobody, you know, nobody thinks this is a bad idea.
00:06:35.100 Let's be real. Crime is up. Repeat offenders are released on bail. Police responses are slower than ever.
00:06:42.220 And in many places, law-abiding citizens are expected to just hope nothing bad happens.
00:06:47.880 That's not good enough.
00:06:49.100 And that's why I'm very pleased today to be telling you about Berna.
00:06:52.040 And I'm so pleased to have this partnership with Juno News because I actually own one myself.
00:06:56.360 I bought one before we ever had this deal with Berna.
00:06:59.060 So what is Berna?
00:06:59.720 It is a non-lethal self-defense launcher that gives you real protection without carrying a firearm.
00:07:06.900 It looks like a firearm.
00:07:07.940 It kind of feels like a firearm, but it's not.
00:07:09.920 It's non-lethal.
00:07:10.880 So Berna launchers look and feel like a real handgun, but they don't use bullets. Instead,
00:07:15.480 they fire powerful kinetic rounds designed to stop a threat from a distance up to 60 feet
00:07:20.640 without lethal force. Here's why it matters. You don't need a firearms license. You don't
00:07:26.000 need a background check. There's no waiting period. There's no permanent life altering
00:07:30.940 consequences if you're forced into the situation where you have to defend yourself. Use the link
00:07:36.200 in the description or visit junomarketplace.com slash Berna for special offers. Make sure that
00:07:41.600 you're prepared. It's better to be safe than sorry. Meantime, you have a teetering alliance
00:07:46.980 in EU, very corrupt governments that seem to favor it. You see what's happening in Germany,
00:07:54.120 for instance, with the rise of the alternative for Deutschland and France, where Marine Le Pen
00:08:00.520 appears poised for victory. The governing Labour Party is languishing in the polls.
00:08:07.080 They're still very much in control, obviously, because they've got the numbers. But support
00:08:11.420 is waning for the left in general, for the mainstream parties in favor of populist movements
00:08:17.260 and right-wing movements across Europe. And what are we doing here in Canada? We seem to be going
00:08:24.380 the opposite direction, at least if you believe some of our polling. And it also raises more
00:08:30.020 questions about the collapse of the trade talks where you have two very different versions of
00:08:35.900 who ultimately is responsible for wrecking the deal but when you see him try to jump into bed
00:08:41.720 with the europeans then you have to question if that's really what was behind it you know whether
00:08:46.300 he was almost looking for an excuse you know to shake his throw his hands up at the air and say
00:08:52.540 well you know we can't deal with trump and well let's be clear and i've been writing about this
00:08:58.320 and I've been talking about this for several years now, Trudeau and Carney have been deliberately
00:09:05.960 trying to destroy the trade deal with the United States for the last number of years. Constantly
00:09:11.800 insulting President Trump, Carney going to Beijing and pronouncing the New World Order in a 0.86
00:09:17.420 strategic alliance with Communist China, who we've never signed a peace treaty with following the
00:09:22.780 Korean War. But we're in a strategic alliance with him. He enters into a security agreement
00:09:28.020 With the Ministry of State Security of China, where, you know, we're now going to be sharing information between the RCMP and the Ministry of State Security, so we don't need Chinese secret police stations in Canada anymore, because we now call them RCMP detachments, right?
00:09:44.160 this is what carney has been doing he's been deliberately destroying our relationship with
00:09:48.640 the united states right and it's all so that he can now drag canada into europe so that he can
00:09:55.020 you know get on his you know multi-million dollar private jet flights to europe slathering himself
00:10:00.120 in luxury butter um you know while he goes home effectively to europe because he's not a canadian 0.62
00:10:05.980 he doesn't want to be here right you know like you know the last 20 years of his life you know
00:10:11.440 he's a european and he's only here to deliver canada to europe and then he's going to retire
00:10:16.460 to a castle somewhere in europe like all of them do right that's what we're dealing with
00:10:20.340 and what are the implications once they get it you've touched on it on the upcoming referendum
00:10:26.180 vote in october this is a vote to have a vote i suppose it's a preliminary vote uh well danielle's
00:10:33.780 yeah danielle's turned it into a vote to have a process for independence but you know and of
00:10:38.600 course uh you know i we're all confident that if we do vote you know to have a process that she'll
00:10:43.900 deny it so i mean we're gonna have to get rid of danielle sooner rather than later and i think
00:10:48.440 tomorrow will be the end of her political career in alberta because carney is having a meeting
00:10:52.240 apparently of the 13 you know premiers and territorial leaders in canada who are all
00:10:57.440 going to stand like trained seals behind him applauding you know his move towards europe
00:11:02.000 and if danielle does that i think she's done as a political leader in alberta at least amongst
00:11:07.580 her base i mean 70 of her base want independence as it is right and danielle's gonna go oh yeah i
00:11:13.820 you know i you know i think alberta should be governed by european bureaucrats right like she's 0.98
00:11:20.060 done like if she shows up at that meeting tomorrow and just does the train seal like you know her 0.61
00:11:24.540 like she's a nodder in chief just like christia freeland used to be and is nodding away at
00:11:29.020 everything her boyfriend mark carney says she's over in alberta she's completely finished 0.75
00:11:33.100 what would happen if she to your words did that and was part of the cheerleading team for carney
00:11:42.720 and that got around in alberta once the word spread what would be the next move well i mean
00:11:49.540 people are already organizing at the constituency association level to have a special general
00:11:55.600 meeting to remove danielle smith as as premier right so i think that just adds fuel to that fire
00:12:00.920 I mean, she lost a big by-election yesterday, right? 1.00
00:12:03.820 Because she and her minions, you know, did a bunch of, did all their dirty work behind
00:12:09.060 the scenes and prevented the independence candidate from running in Calgary Shaw. 0.98
00:12:14.040 They put in one of Danny's trained seals to run in Calgary Shaw and the independence vote
00:12:18.900 stayed home.
00:12:19.460 People wouldn't come out and vote.
00:12:20.820 So the NDP just elected an MLA in Calgary Shaw, right?
00:12:24.780 So, you know, people in Alberta are fed up with Smith.
00:12:27.920 they're not coming out to vote for you know her trained seal candidates and you know seven i mean
00:12:33.520 70 of the alberta base of the ucp favors independence so danielle thinks it's a good
00:12:38.640 idea to run all these anti-independence candidates you know in ridings where there's you know big
00:12:44.320 support for alberta independence you know she's you know she's losing the government to her
00:12:48.560 partners in the ndp because let's be clear there are her partners nancy smith carney kenny
00:12:55.440 lukasic i mean they're all on the same team right so what you know i guess people are going what
00:13:00.320 difference does it make if we get an ndp um uh mla elected because danielle smith is one of them
00:13:06.640 right she's a member of the ndp now she's member of teen canada you know which is uh you know which
00:13:12.160 is the left-wing communist um party in canada now and she's one of them so no no surprise that uh
00:13:19.600 people that favor independence were 70 percent of the ucp vote uh you know that a lot of them
00:13:24.640 stayed home and said, okay, well, we'll have an NDP MLA elected, and maybe that'll send Danielle
00:13:30.440 and her people a wake-up call. And did it? Oh, I don't know. I doubt it. Because she's still,
00:13:36.240 as far as I know, still going to do her little train seal routine tomorrow, nodding along to
00:13:41.340 Mark Carney, trying to make Canada become a territory of the European Union.
00:13:46.400 And how soon do we find out whether or not there will be a challenge to her leadership?
00:13:50.700 Well, it's ongoing.
00:13:51.700 I think that there is a challenge now. 0.97
00:13:53.620 I mean, people are working very, very hard behind the scenes to remove her as leader.
00:13:57.600 I mean, it's, you know, there's, you know, there's a number of constituency associations
00:14:02.160 that are fully on board.
00:14:03.500 There's, you know, an equal number or greater number that are, you know, that were on the
00:14:07.860 fence. 0.99
00:14:08.180 But after Danielle announced that she's going to take $4 million of Alberta tax dollars
00:14:13.880 to campaign against independence on behalf of mark carney the ndp uh lee cassett you know nenshi
00:14:21.000 kenny all the rest of it people are furious right and that's without danielle going and nodding along
00:14:27.800 to mark carney about joining the european union as an associate member you know they're saying oh
00:14:32.840 we're not going to join the european union that's going to be a special alliance yeah we're going to
00:14:36.680 be on the special bus you know where we have all the obligations we have all the obligations to
00:14:42.120 to be part of europe but we don't even have a vote or a say in the european parliament right so
00:14:47.460 yeah we're going to be on the special bus in europe and uh you know again you know it's back
00:14:51.600 to the future right like we used to be you know like quebec used to be a colony of france so
00:14:56.200 i mean carney wants to make you know make all of albert or all of canada a colony in europe again
00:15:01.500 you know not the uk this time because they voted themselves out of uh you know out of um uh you
00:15:07.300 out of europe but i mean there's carney wanting to make us a european colony again
00:15:11.600 like you can't honestly can't make this stuff up but of course he's a european right so that's
00:15:16.700 where all of his interests are i mean you know he doesn't even have money invested in canada all of
00:15:20.940 his money is personal money and all of his all of brookfield's money it's all in the united states
00:15:25.840 because mark carney knows that he's in the midst of devaluing the canadian currency through money
00:15:30.420 printing so you know all of his investments are offshore all of his interests are offshore and
00:15:35.860 were the ones that are paying the price he's killing canada right it's just like he's absolutely
00:15:40.380 killing canadians lineups at the food banks have never been longer um you know diesels at two
00:15:46.000 dollars and 30 cents a liter i hear 275 on the you know a liter um on vancouver island because his 0.55
00:15:52.520 buddy um zippy zielinski you know keeps blowing up russian refineries with drones that canada is
00:15:58.400 going to be supplying them so that you know global diesel prices are going through the roof because
00:16:03.020 zippy zielinski's blowing up russian refineries every chance he gets and now mark carney's going 0.53
00:16:08.120 to supply canadian drones to zielinski so he can blow up more refineries and and make diesel prices
00:16:13.360 go even higher like you can't make this stuff up so how do people follow you online if they'd like
00:16:20.400 to do so i'm at uh at jeffrey rw rath on on x and apparently i i've got a facebook account but i'm
00:16:28.320 never on it i have social media people somewhere that are doing something with it but it's just
00:16:32.400 at jeffreyrwrath on x and um you know and uh and that's it i mean obviously over the next couple
00:16:39.680 weeks we're going to be talking a lot about how the only way for albertans to save themselves
00:16:44.080 from mark carney is to vote themselves out of canada and we're hoping that on october 19th
00:16:48.400 that every albertan understands the existential threat that mark carney and canada pose to alberta
00:16:55.760 and the future prosperity of alberta and that we vote for a process to remove alberta from the
00:17:00.080 insanity that is mark carney's canada or europe i guess like let's vote ourselves out of europe
00:17:05.220 because we're not even voting ourselves out of canada anymore i never you know like danielle
00:17:08.800 smith needs a referendum you know just to control immigration in alberta but she doesn't need a
00:17:13.260 referendum to join europe like what the hell right so everybody got to wake up and get out and vote
00:17:18.420 because we've got to we've got to save ourselves and get to save our kids hey you know what and
00:17:23.360 maybe if we vote ourselves out of uh you know vote ourselves out of canada slash europe we'll
00:17:28.200 be saving the rest of the country. Maybe it sends a message to Carney that he's not going to get
00:17:31.720 away with this. You know, maybe that's what stops Canada from becoming a colony of Europe again,
00:17:36.860 you know, as Alberta voting itself out. So, you know, I think everybody's got to wake up and
00:17:41.480 understand that October 19th isn't, you know, is an existential moment for Albertans and that we
00:17:48.680 have to vote for a process to remove Alberta from, you know, from Canada slash Europe.
00:17:52.740 mind you if you take out all those anti-eu votes in alberta if you don't include those then
00:17:59.080 it uh increases the likelihood that they'll vote in favor right because you're getting a lot of
00:18:04.200 well or it'll be a wake-up call to the rest of the country because they're going to be so they're
00:18:08.060 going to be so busy trying to figure out how they're going to pay their own bills you know
00:18:11.960 i think the only realistic the only realistic option for them is to actually enter into uh you
00:18:16.720 know into a proper trade deal with the united states and get back to business right because
00:18:21.360 otherwise they're done like europe's not coming to save them cat and europe's coming to do what
00:18:25.140 europeans always do which is to rape pillage us right like seriously let's get real you want to 0.93
00:18:31.280 be a colony of europe again like seriously thank you thank you jeff appreciate it yeah you bet
