conservative mp andrew sheer completely murdered a ctv journalist on live television today
00:00:05.920
let's watch that clip and stick around to the end for some commentary conservative house leader
00:00:10.400
andrew sheer is here with me now mr sure it's good to have you in studio i appreciate you making the
00:00:14.240
time i know that you expressed support for keystone i want to get to that in a second
00:00:17.840
not not exactly as the government lays it out but i actually wanted to start where i left off with
00:00:21.440
premier eby because the other hot topic in this country right now is a pipeline that doesn't just
00:00:25.120
go north south but out west from from alberta he is vehemently opposed i know that you know we can
00:00:31.120
all debate the reasons behind that but it's a fact right now that he really doesn't want that pipeline
00:00:36.640
to be built would a conservative government kind of try to build it anyway well that's what happened
00:00:43.440
with tmx uh the british columbia government the ndp government didn't support tmx but we have a
00:00:49.440
constitution in canada that empowers the federal government to make these kinds of decisions to
00:00:53.760
the benefit of all canadians uh the conservative party has been uh proudly championing a pipeline
00:00:59.680
that would open up asian markets uh right now canada sells at a discount to the united states
00:01:05.200
the the us economy is basically subsidized by the canadian energy sector and we believe a great way
00:01:10.560
to change that is to get a pipeline to the western shores that open up markets like india and korea and
00:01:16.400
japan the point that premier eb was making that was an interesting one around the tanker ban which
00:01:21.440
effectively kills any any kind of pipeline to the northwest coast but that the the the variety of
00:01:26.880
deals he's been able to make with the private sector and indigenous groups to generate more lng
00:01:31.440
development has been predicated on the existence of that tanker ban so would a conservative government
00:01:38.000
run rough shot roughshod over that for example like are you willing to sacrifice lng for oil i believe
00:01:43.520
it was christy clark former british columbia premier might have been even on this show that pointed out
00:01:48.480
away that day but yeah okay well she pointed out it's really just a ban on canadian shipping that
00:01:53.040
the the law the liberals put in place really just prevents canadian energy uh from getting to other
00:01:57.840
markets american uh shipping goes uh goes up and down the coast i think i believe she said every day
00:02:03.120
so uh you know the same proximity well you know it's it's still it's still in the area that the
00:02:07.680
that the current liberal law bans so i mean look uh we believe that it's essential to get off the
00:02:14.880
dependency on on the us market right now we are beholden to us to to a huge degree especially when
00:02:21.120
it comes to energy so we absolutely believe that you can build a pipeline at the highest environmental
00:02:26.240
standards with the with all the structural integrity and making sure you know you don't
00:02:30.320
affect aquifers and things like that with proper indigenous consultation as there was with northern
00:02:35.120
gateway where dozens of first nations communities signed on to partnership agreements with the proposal
00:02:41.040
we also point out that it used to be in canada that you didn't need tax dollars to build a pipeline
00:02:46.000
that used to be done by investors but all that investment money is leaving tc energy used to be
00:02:50.960
called trans canada they've dropped the canada part of their name because they can't get anything built
00:02:55.040
in this country just announced 8.5 billion dollars worth of energy projects in the us we believe those
00:03:00.720
dollars should be being invested in canada and we're completely puzzled not just puzzled we're gobsmacked
00:03:06.400
that mark carney's promise to donald trump that he would send a trillion dollars of investment from
00:03:11.360
canada to the united states as part of some deal that they're working on so we don't believe canada
00:03:15.280
needs to invest more dollars in the us we believe canada needs to invest the canadian investors should
00:03:19.600
be investing in canada putting canadians to work building canadian factories canadian sawmills things
00:03:24.400
like that but even even for example when you use the example of northern gateway like even though a
00:03:29.920
tanker band didn't exist ultimately indigenous consultation was done it was deemed to be
00:03:36.000
not uh stringent enough not adequate enough by a court and even the way in which cabinet made
00:03:42.720
the decision was also part of what the court ultimately decided was not enough so let's say
00:03:48.320
you know the conservatives are in power the tanker ban is removed is it really fair to say that these
00:03:53.280
pipelines are all of a sudden going to get built they simply didn't under prime minister there are four
00:03:57.440
major pipeline projects including uh including to tidewater and what happened with the consultation
00:04:02.720
piece was there's a very specific ruling by the judge about a very specific way the consultations
00:04:07.600
were laid out with a bit of a road map of how to do that and rather than go back and do it properly
00:04:13.040
justin trudeau effectively vetoed that pipeline and remember mark carney was asked specifically when he
00:04:18.000
was at committee did he agree with justin trudeau's decision to kill the northern gateway project and mark
00:04:22.960
carney said yes mark carney wrote a book called values where he complained that the carbon tax
00:04:27.440
wasn't high enough where he uh he he agreed he advised justin trudeau when justin trudeau is phasing
00:04:34.240
out the energy sector so clearly mark carney is not going to get those big projects done he hasn't
00:04:38.720
included any a talk of a pipeline in his so-called major major projects list that hasn't actually even
00:04:44.720
come into existence still going from one bureaucracy to another uh so what we're saying today is look
00:04:50.320
let's let's get rid of the shipping ban let's let canadian uh uh energy workers sell their products to
00:04:55.520
asian markets let's get let's get a better return on what we are selling so we're not just selling
00:05:00.080
into the us market let's let provinces like bc and alberta and saskatchewan collect more revenues let's
00:05:06.080
let the federal government collect more revenue so we can improve services for canadians all canadians
00:05:10.640
benefit when canada exports more of its energy i i never understand why radical politicians like
00:05:15.680
david eby are opposed to it or mark carney for that matter well look i understand i understand the
00:05:19.920
economic pitch but i also understand there's nuances among the opposition for example along the coast of
00:05:24.880
british columbia where they are very worried about the potential impact of exporting more oil
00:05:29.600
from the coast there are also first nations who are supportive of a pipeline endeavor like that
00:05:34.080
but to say that it's you know that that getting rid of the tanker ban getting rid of the emissions cap
00:05:39.360
is all of a sudden going to create a world in which the way you convey it is like it's so simple we
00:05:43.360
could just build all this stuff the fact is you built some stuff under prime minister harper the
00:05:47.760
major one was the line line reversal but i lived through that i covered it living in alberta there was
00:05:52.640
a ton of opposition even keystone approved under harper why couldn't it get built because of
00:05:57.040
opposition in this at the state level farmers in nebraska for example who succeeded in court so
00:06:02.960
the idea that it looks like these these things that trudeau did that made it untenable to develop
00:06:09.040
the economy from a resource perspective like it's not substantiated by the facts but it actually is
00:06:14.160
so bashi we had over 150 you know since since the energy sector developed we've had private sector
00:06:21.440
proponents build pipelines in this country i mean i i live in regina i can see where an enbridge
00:06:25.760
pipeline cuts across the north end of my city uh that was all done by investors canadian investors
00:06:30.880
international investors pouring money into canada putting canadians to work the shipping ban was
00:06:35.680
a piece of legislation that justin trudeau imposed upon canadians he he didn't have to do that
00:06:40.560
that was a marked change the production cap again a government policy what conservatives are saying
00:06:45.760
continue to rise so significantly actually at a faster pace than the previous prime minister because
00:06:50.480
of the timelines and when he he kicked in but what he has basically said is that uh what justin
00:06:54.720
trudeau kind of set is that the canadian energy sector cannot grow and mark carney voted against
00:06:59.600
repealing that production cap so mark carney said he's happy with that production cap what conservatives
00:07:05.120
are saying is that the the roadblocks to pipelines are actually imposed by government the
00:07:09.760
shipping ban is a government decision the production cap is a government decision the
00:07:13.040
industrial carbon tax a government decision these are all things that these are all things
00:07:17.840
not a government decision no no but but but let's let's talk about all those first nations community
00:07:22.160
who wanted that project that's where they get the economic benefit from that's where their quality
00:07:27.440
of life gets to improve and i absolutely believe that everybody wins when our energy sector is able to
00:07:33.760
thrive first nations community oil and gas workers provincial governments collecting revenues to improve
00:07:38.640
about public services like where's canada going to get the gdp growth if if if the us is effectively
00:07:44.160
saying that mark carney is not going to get a deal on things like auto uh if the us is not dropping
00:07:48.880
softwood lumber uh tariffs if and then the and then this liberal government comes along and says oh yeah
00:07:53.600
we're also going to keep kneecapping our energy sector like justin trudeau is doing where are we
00:07:58.240
going to make up for these u.s tariffs where is this growth going to come from how are we going to get
00:08:01.600
young canadians back to work have you seen the job numbers for young canadians in this country
00:08:05.360
the energy sector is a great avenue for young people to get good paying jobs that allow them
00:08:09.920
to start their lives isn't on the decline the energy sector under the previous prime minister
00:08:13.920
grew on a monthly basis at twice the rate of prime minister harper like i understand that the prospect
00:08:19.280
of it getting way better is out there i will take you all over saskatchewan it's not contract sorry i
00:08:24.800
gotta challenge you this i will take you all over saskatchewan and alberta and i will introduce you to
00:08:28.320
people who lost their jobs i'll show you people whose companies have gone bankrupt and they had to watch
00:08:33.360
american companies buy canadian equipment at auction for pennies on the dollar okay so you
00:08:40.080
know you could find some stats that say that because of price changes you know it might be better this
00:08:44.080
month than last month but there has been a real a real blow to the canadian energy sector and a lot
00:08:49.840
of young people that would come out of high school come out of the trades and say okay i'm going to go
00:08:53.040
work in the energy sector i'm going to go help drill i'm going to get into you know engineering and things
00:08:58.880
like that those jobs have have in many areas completely dried up so these pipelines are not
00:09:04.000
just an avenue to to fill provincial coffers for health care and education they're also a place
00:09:09.200
where young people can get work again and what we're questioning the government is why not what
00:09:13.360
what is this allergy to developing our energy sector and why do canadians have to pay the price why do
00:09:18.800
those hard-working young canadians have to pay the price for mark carney's radical ideology you have
00:09:23.200
evidence though that this government thus far and i take your point about his book and the positions he's
00:09:26.800
espoused in the past that thus far they are as anti-energy as you're painting them the top project
00:09:31.120
on their major projects initial major projects list was lng canada phase two and again i'm not
00:09:36.800
making up those statistics i take your point about that's from mcdonald laurier institute and and they
00:09:43.280
that's that's not exactly like a left-wing think tank they did the analysis and we know oil companies
00:09:48.400
are making money hand over fist they're making money by investing in america these tc energy 8.5
00:09:53.600
billion dollars they moved off oil and onto gas they are building a pipeline in virginia they are
00:09:59.120
that is 8.5 billion dollars of canadian investment money that's going to work in the us those are
00:10:04.080
americans that are going to get those jobs american steel workers american construction workers that are
00:10:09.040
going to do all that all that money used to be put to work in canada and this government's not doing
00:10:13.440
that and as for evidence it was just last week they voted against our motion to lift the production cap
00:10:18.560
that's pretty substantial evidence in this in the last few weeks in parliament just across the street
00:10:24.320
they voted to keep justin trudeau's anti-energy policies quickly though you are also saying that
00:10:28.000
you'll support keystone if in fact that thing that's happening you know in these negotiations
00:10:32.160
that we don't really have any clarity on it like the the conservatives would essentially support that
00:10:35.200
well we we we approved it back in 2010 under stephen harper uh donald trump approved it in 2017 it was
00:10:41.200
one of his first set first acts this should be low-hanging fruit by the way like this shouldn't be hard
00:10:46.000
and uh if donald trump wants to buy our energy he he gets a good deal for the american economy we
00:10:51.520
shouldn't have to offer up anything in negotiations to get donald trump what he wants anyway he's
00:10:56.080
signaling to us that he wants it he signed it off on it back in 2017 this should be done in a in a
00:11:01.520
couple hours if if both parties are serious about it okay i'll leave it on that mr sure appreciate
00:11:05.440
your time as always thank you so much i will admit that was sort of painful to watch and sort of cringy
00:11:10.880
however i want to point out that cdve usually does save its hardball interviews for
00:11:15.520
conservatives and then lets the liberals skate andrew sure did a fantastic job of standing his
00:11:21.600
ground and advocating for pipelines he's good not as good as polyev but he's still good it seems the
00:11:28.000
establishment has a problem whenever conservatives try to build projects push forward projects that
00:11:33.040
would actually benefit canadians it's funny how that works it's almost like they want to keep us all
00:11:38.320
poor forever but once again i'm glad to see sheer put that woman in her place to be fair vashi does do some
00:11:44.320
good work but there's other times like this where she's just completely annoying and completely off
00:11:49.840
base in other news carney came back to canada empty-handed and i was expected and not to toot
00:11:56.880
my own horn but i did call it now if i remember correctly carney said he was the chosen one he was
00:12:02.560
god's gift to canada to sort out the mess with donald trump and look what happened none of that came to
00:12:08.720
fruition we have no deal despite carney being in office for over seven months now we have no deal
00:12:16.720
mark carney is a man that lied to canadians he lied to his voters he hasn't said an honest word in his
00:12:22.720
entire life what would you expect from someone who cheated on his phd now cheating on your phd should
00:12:29.200
be disqualifying however with the liberals it's part of the job requirement now of course if we had
00:12:34.720
poly evan office we'd have a trade deal not only with the united states but also with china we'd be
00:12:40.080
building pipelines from east west north south everybody would be getting a taste a share of
00:12:46.560
canadian oils the east asians have been begging for oil for decades they'd be getting some western
00:12:53.840
europe has been begging for oil for decades they'd be getting some the south americans they could probably
00:12:59.920
use some clean oil we got it but we can't sell it because the liberals are holding us back think
00:13:05.840
about that for a second however despite all this madness as of late i'm still hopeful we're going to
00:13:10.400
get poly evan office it's only a matter of time either carney's going to resign or he's going to face a
00:13:16.320
no confidence vote like i've said before just be patient have a little bit of faith conservatives are
00:13:22.640
going to win and we're going to win big thanks for tuning in talk to you tomorrow and if you enjoyed
