00:00:00.000 The Financial Times piece, I'll stay for the record, it was fake news.
00:00:03.880 I'm very careful with anybody to say that we haven't been offered any money by the United States.
00:00:08.000 We're not seeking money from the United States.
00:00:09.580 We're conducting a feasibility study on the availability of a sufficient credit facility
00:00:15.780 to get Alberta over the hump in the hypothetical eventuality that Ottawa is going to play hardball
00:00:20.660 and try to cut off our money once Alberta declares itself independent from Canada.
00:00:25.200 A left-wing journalist was caught lying on live television and was immediately fact-checked.
00:00:30.000 Vashie Capellos of CTV News interviewed Jeffrey Rath of the Alberta independence movement.
00:00:35.480 And needless to say, the interview did not go well for Vashie.
00:00:38.540 Jeffrey Rath is a lawyer who has experience protecting Indigenous people from the government of Canada.
00:00:43.940 He's also spearheading the Alberta independence movement.
00:00:46.780 Vashie Capellos has a cushy job at CTV where she gets paid to make conservatives look bad and liberals look good.
00:00:53.360 She's been doing this for around 20 years, so needless to say, she's no amateur.
00:00:56.960 Rath is fighting for the working man in Alberta, where Vashie is representing the elites in Ottawa.
00:01:02.660 Let's see who wins this battle.
00:01:04.440 Here's round one.
00:01:05.500 It's great to meet you. I appreciate you making the time today.
00:01:07.320 Well, I really appreciate you having me on today. Thank you.
00:01:08.900 I listened to some of the interviews you've given to other media this weekend,
00:01:12.000 and you were disputing the reporting that garnered all that reaction from the premiers.
00:01:16.200 And I wanted to actually just get you on the record.
00:01:18.400 Vashie starts the interview with her usual tricks.
00:01:20.620 She starts off all friendly and immediately asks a loaded question.
00:01:25.160 Her aim is to make her opponent look stupid.
00:01:27.340 Let's see how he responds.
00:01:28.420 Oh, sure. The Financial Times piece, I'll stay for the record, it was fake news.
00:01:33.020 I was very, I'm very careful with anybody to say that we haven't been offered any money by the United States.
00:01:37.520 We're not seeking money from the United States.
00:01:39.220 We're conducting a feasibility study on the availability of a sufficient credit facility to get Alberta over the hump
00:01:47.000 in the hypothetical eventuality that Ottawa is going to play hardball and try to cut off our money once Alberta declares itself independent from Canada.
00:01:54.360 So, you know, that FT article, you know, starts out covert meetings between U.S. officials and fringe separatists.
00:02:01.460 It was ridiculous. It was just a hit piece, you know, by the globalist media.
00:02:05.200 I'm really disappointed in the FT, actually.
00:02:06.820 I used to read it when I was going to law school in London, and the paper's really going downhill if that's going to trash their publishing.
00:02:11.700 Well, that was fast.
00:02:12.860 The first round only lasted less than a minute.
00:02:15.760 Vashie was trying really hard to bait Rath into saying something stupid,
00:02:19.320 but Rath pushed back, pushed back with cold, hard facts, and regained control of the narrative.
00:02:23.820 The media thrives on division, and they love tearing people apart, especially the conservatives.
00:02:29.180 She was trying to insinuate that the Alberta separatists are a bunch of traitors, and Rath was quick to push back.
00:02:34.740 However, Vashie, she's no amateur, and she still has a few tricks up her sleeve, as you'll see as the video goes along.
00:02:41.320 Before I show you round two, I want to remind you of being heavily censored on YouTube.
00:02:45.200 If you see this part of the video, let me know in the comment section, tell me what city you're coming from,
00:02:49.880 give me a quick like, and make sure you're still subscribed.
00:02:52.300 All right, let's watch round two.
00:02:54.720 Can you understand how, on the face of it, Canadians would view some Canadians, outside of the ones that support your cause,
00:03:01.800 who are not necessarily unempathetic to the frustrations expressed by people in this province,
00:03:06.920 but who would view the idea of, you know, people here meeting with a government that has, you know,
00:03:13.600 spoken the way it has about this country as a whole, as problematic.
00:03:17.320 Vashie tries to flip the script, making the interview about Donald Trump.
00:03:20.640 She's trying to regain control of the narrative.
00:03:22.920 Now, let's watch how Rath responds.
00:03:25.340 And seeking money to make this happen.
00:03:27.340 No, no, I understand that there's a lot of Ontarians and people in Quebec that suffer deeply from Trump derangement syndrome,
00:03:33.340 but we're not doing anything untoward.
00:03:35.520 It's absolutely, you know, from our perspective, we're just conducting due diligence on behalf of our fellow Albertans.
00:03:40.340 We're serious professionals.
00:03:41.560 I mean, you know, I've argued cases at the Supreme Court of Canada, for goodness sake.
00:03:45.300 I mean, you know, we take what we're doing very seriously.
00:03:47.780 And obviously, the attitude of the United States towards Alberta independence, which incidentally is overwhelmingly enthusiastic,
00:03:54.180 is something that informs our movement going forward.
00:03:57.720 If the United States said, oh, God, we can't tolerate that, flies in the face of, you know, the communist new world order,
00:04:03.160 or we'll slap a 300% tariff on Albertans if they leave because we want you to remain resource slaves of the communist government in Ottawa,
00:04:11.080 you know, it would be a totally different conversation.
00:04:13.640 But that's not the case.
00:04:14.860 We're gratified that it's the case.
00:04:16.520 And quite frankly, the Trump administration shows Albertans far more respect than is shown to Albertans by the government in Ottawa.
00:04:22.840 Do you think three of us could get a meeting with Tim Hodgson to talk about the need for a pipeline to the Pacific Northwest
00:04:28.120 so that David Eby can't continue to hold us hostage?
00:04:31.540 Of course not, because they want us to be held hostage.
00:04:34.260 So, you know, so I understand that there are Canadians that are upset, especially in Ontario,
00:04:38.460 that when Alberta leaves, that Ontarians for the first time in their lives are going to have to pay their own bills
00:04:43.940 and pay the bills of the Maritimes that we've been paying for years.
00:04:46.560 I understand that's upsetting to people, but they need to understand that Albertans are done,
00:04:50.500 we're leaving, and there's no more conversation to be had.
00:04:53.100 I know that's upsetting to people.
00:04:54.200 Now, Rath completely dominated round two and was quick to toss Fasci out of the ring.
00:04:58.900 Fasci tried so hard, so hard to make that whole segment about Donald Trump,
00:05:03.680 but Rath was quick to push back and remind her it's not about Donald Trump.
00:05:08.000 It's about the government in Ottawa.
00:05:09.720 Now, it is an objective fact that the people of Alberta have been treated very badly by the government in Ottawa,
00:05:14.840 specifically Trudeau's government.
00:05:16.780 So Rath has a great point here, and he has a good leg to stand on.
00:05:20.280 But you have not seen anything yet.
00:05:22.600 This interview is about to get really tense.
00:05:24.720 Here's round three.
00:05:25.880 On the question of feasibility and the situation that you just lay out,
00:05:29.580 what does it say that if you are preparing for Ottawa, as you would characterize it, to play hardball,
00:05:35.520 that you would then lean on credit or whatever it ends up being from the United States?
00:05:39.940 Like, to the people who support your movement, are you not kind of moving from one master to another?
00:05:44.220 The entire world runs on credit.
00:05:46.320 How much does Canada rely on the United States?
00:05:48.620 Once again, Rath stays calm against Vashie's attacks and responds with a counterpunch.
00:05:53.500 He's rejecting confidence and ready to knock Vashie out of the ring again.
00:05:56.940 If Secretary of Treasury...
00:05:59.260 Sure, but you're pitching independence.
00:06:00.200 No, no, just let...
00:06:00.900 So what?
00:06:01.560 If Secretary Besant wanted to end Canada tomorrow, it would take one memo to all of the bond rating agencies,
00:06:09.260 Moody's, Standard & Fitch & Poor's, to say that Canada's a poor risk because of all the various things the United States is going to do with Canadian credit,
00:06:17.620 and Canada would be over.
00:06:18.640 So Canada is being supported by the United States.
00:06:21.640 So just stop with this silliness and try to create this conflation somehow or other between the Alberta independence movement and, you know, being beholden to the United States.
00:06:31.060 I know it's a fear-mongering talking point of the mainstream media with regard to Alberta independence, but we're not buying into it.
00:06:36.640 That just got spicy.
00:06:38.040 However, Rath was still able to win that round.
00:06:40.840 Vashie continues to try and control the narrative, making everything about Americans.
00:06:45.780 However, Rath is fighting back with cold, hard facts, and he's winning.
00:06:49.880 Vashie's getting beaten up pretty badly right here.
00:06:52.420 However, to her credit, she's a fighter, and she's not ready to tap out just yet.
00:06:57.320 Let's check out round four.
00:06:58.380 Let me respectfully, if you don't mind, challenge you and just ask, look at what happened based on the scenario you just have outlined
00:07:04.700 because of our dependence on the United States.
00:07:06.920 Look at what they're able to exact right now.
00:07:09.240 What you are telling your supporters, with great respect, is that you will be independent.
00:07:13.660 You will be free.
00:07:14.440 Vashie just asked an incredibly stupid question, and as you're going to see, she immediately regrets it.
00:07:21.540 Nobody's independent in the modern world.
00:07:23.540 But do you think that we would be running to communist China the way that Mark Carney is?
00:07:28.460 Mark Carney's making Canada dependent on communist China.
00:07:31.320 You know, and to quote a good friend of mine, David Redman, who's one of the best, you know, North American defense analysts going,
00:07:39.240 you know, David Redman stated clearly on a policy panel, you know, just two weeks ago,
00:07:43.580 communist China is not a trading partner.
00:07:46.280 They are an enemy.
00:07:47.640 So you want to talk about treasonous, swearing allegiance to communist China in Beijing while invoking the new world order,
00:07:53.700 and then coming back to Canada, threatening war with the United States of America under Article 5 of the NATO treaty,
00:08:00.500 certainly smacks as being a lot more treasonous than anything that we're doing.
00:08:03.780 Vashie walked right into that one, and that was an easy win for Rath.
00:08:07.920 Vashie's not doing so well.
00:08:09.160 She should have tapped out earlier.
00:08:10.960 It almost seems at this point that she's losing on purpose.
00:08:13.740 But you haven't seen the best part yet.
00:08:15.880 I'm going to show you round five, where Vashie gets completely destroyed on live television.
00:08:20.500 And I have to say, I have interviewed at least five ministers from the government in the last two weeks
00:08:24.880 since that China trip, and pressed them very hard on exactly what you're laying out.
00:08:28.740 Is this really the kind of partnership that we want to align ourselves with?
00:08:31.840 I understand the point you're making.
00:08:33.460 My point is, you have convinced people, and lots of them who have stopped me here,
00:08:37.280 that, you know, what awaits a separate and free and independent Alberta is true independence.
00:08:42.860 No, there's no such thing as true independence.
00:08:45.480 Do you think your supporters understand that?
00:08:47.160 If you can stop interrupting for a second.
00:08:48.180 I'm just asking.
00:08:48.660 Ninety percent of our trade is north and south with the United States of America.
00:08:52.380 So all of this phony, we hate the Americans, Canadians should be afraid of Americans,
00:08:57.000 Alberta must be completely independent from the United States of America.
00:09:00.240 We don't live in a vacuum.
00:09:01.540 So even the premise of your question, quite frankly and with respect, is quite silly.
00:09:05.380 So you don't, so you basically don't envision, for example,
00:09:09.140 ever being, like, truly free of the United States, even if the administration...
00:09:13.440 All right, this is it.
00:09:14.740 Raph is mad and he's done clowning around.
00:09:17.200 He's ready to end this battle with a big knockout punch.
00:09:20.820 Listen closely how he pushes back with facts.
00:09:23.540 The premise of your question...
00:09:24.660 I mean, a Democrat could be elected after President Trump.
00:09:26.240 The premise of your question is completely silly.
00:09:28.660 Nobody ever envisions a day where the Alberta economy is completely decoupled from the economy of the United States of America.
00:09:36.120 Ninety percent, nine zero percent of our trade is north and south.
00:09:39.540 So that's not going to change if a Democrat gets elected.
00:09:42.920 All of our relationships, business relationships, familial relationships, et cetera, will remain.
00:09:48.640 That doesn't make us less independent.
00:09:50.580 I mean, the premise of your question, again, with respect, is quite silly.
00:09:53.340 I'll take it.
00:09:53.880 That's okay.
00:09:54.300 I'll leave it on that note.
00:09:55.240 Notice how Vashie just taps out right at the end?
00:09:58.300 She knows she couldn't win against Raph in a battle of words and she clearly lost.
00:10:02.580 This highlights the problem with the mainstream media.
00:10:05.340 They pretend to be pushing for facts, but in reality, they're pushing a narrative.
00:10:10.260 And that's the narrative of the elite that lives in Ottawa.
00:10:13.260 Vashie is having a bad week.
00:10:15.000 She was verbally destroyed by Andrew Scheer of the Conservative Party last weekend.
00:10:18.880 And if you haven't seen my video on that, I highly recommend checking that out next.
00:10:22.260 Now, I want to point out this video wasn't meant to be an endorsement of the Alberta separation movement,
00:10:27.240 which if you follow me religiously, you would know that I've been critical of on YouTube and on X.
00:10:32.700 I understand people's frustrations.
00:10:34.320 I completely get it.
00:10:35.620 And I'm the first to point that out.
00:10:37.240 But at the same time, I'm still on Team Polyev and I still believe in a united Canada.
00:10:41.820 Unfortunately for the people that support this movement,
00:10:43.900 less than 30% of Albertans actually want to separate from the country.
00:10:47.360 Now, when these Albertans are faced with the cost and the consequences of separating,
00:10:51.400 the number falls down significantly.
00:10:53.960 And this is according to a recent poll by Ipsos, which I'll attach in the description.
00:10:57.560 Now, so unfortunately for them, it doesn't appear that Alberta is going anywhere anytime soon.
00:11:02.100 I think the best thing Conservatives can do is wait until the next federal election and vote for Polyev.
00:11:07.140 I believe that once we get a Conservative government in Canada, which could happen soon,
00:11:11.160 Separatist sentiment will go down.
00:11:13.100 And then we can be strong and united and fighting together like we were before.
00:11:17.300 But until then, I'll be making videos and hopefully you stick around to watch them.
00:11:21.660 Thanks for tuning in.
00:11:22.840 Hope you enjoyed this episode.
00:11:24.360 I love you all.
00:11:25.360 Talk to you tomorrow, Patriots.
